The Senate. ‘THE NEW SENATOR FROM TENNESSEE, In the Senate to-day Mr. Harris presented the credentials ot Mr. Washington C, Whit- thorne, appointed by the governor of Tennessee to be United States Senator from that state to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator Jackson. The credentials having been read, Mr. Whitthorne was escorted to the dest by Mr. Harris and the oath of office was ad- ministered in due form by the Peer. bin Soe of the Senate. Mr, Whitthorne then took a seat on the democratic side of the cham- ber, on the extreme right of the chair, and re- ceived the congratulations of many Senators. A POINT AS TO MR. WHITTHORNE’S CREDEN- TIALS, 5 ‘When the new Senator had taken his seat Mr. Hoar called attention to the form of the cre- dentials, not having desired, he said, tosay any- thing which might seem like an objection to the swearing in of Mr. Whitthorne. The form of the credentials Mr. Hoar thought detective, inasmuch as the certifleate stated that the ap- pointment was for Senator Jackson's unexpired term. It should read “until the next meeting of the legislature.” The point was of no great consequence at present, but in case of a close party division in the Senate, Mr. Hoar though’ might become one of great importance, an public. attention ought to be directed to it, in order that the difficulty might as far as possible be avoided, Mr. Harris remarked that Mr, Whitthorne’s credentials, in using the word mado reference to the term “as fixed by law.” te phere this qualifying phraso covered the nt. ‘The credentials were filed.

The Dill_as it came trom the House modifies section 3336 of the Revised Statutes so as to require new bonds to be fiied by brewers, not on the 1st of May, as heretotore, but whenever the collector of in- ternal revenue shull require them to do so. ‘The Senate committee amended the bill so as to require in addition that at least once in four Years, the bonds shall in any event be renewed, Whether the collector requests it or not.

Mr. Dunn (Ark.) asked leave to offer a reso- lution setting apart the 12th of May for the consideration of measures reported from the committee on railroads, In response to a question Mr, Dunn steted that the measures which would probably be called up would be the bill requiring the North- ern Pacifle to pay the cost of surveying its lands, the resolution providing for a general in- vestigation of the accounts of the Pacific rail- roads and the bill providing for the payment of The debts of those roads, = epee Mr. Warner (Ohio) inquired whether the order would include the Pacific railroad fand- ing bill, and, upon receiving an affirmative answer, objected to the present consideration of the resolution.

Meeting of the Commission To-Day. A PROBABILITY THAT THE PROPERTY ON BOTH SQUARES WILL HAVE TO BE CONDEMNED. The library building commission held a meet- ing at the office of Secretary Lamar this morn- ing, all three of the members being present. Secretary Lamar wanted to read over and study the law carefully and, if deemed neces- sary, consult the Attorney General as to the precise powers and duties of the commission. Another meetingi will be held to-morrow, by which timea distinct construction of all the provisions of the act will be ready. Some re- turns of the prices demanded by property- owners in the two squares designated have been recetved, and from thelr tenor and other indications {i is regarded as almost certain that the power of condemnation will have'to be resorted to in order to secure eltheir one of the two squares, With the view of avoiding delay it is proposed to get all the preliminari of condemnation ready so that upon the exp! ation of the thirty days allowed in the act the machinery of the law can be promptly put into operation. ‘The law provides that if at the ex- piration of thirty days an agreement tor the purehase of the property shail not have been entered into with the owners, the commssion shall apply to the District Supreme Court, pre- senting a deseription of the property, and that the court shall ascertain and assess the damages for taking the property needed, It is the pur. pose of the commission to have everything ready for such application immediately upon the expiration of the time prescribed, so that the condemnation may proceed at once. The total assessment of the square on the north side of East Capitol street is $255,277, while that on the south side is assessed St ah aggregate of $203,187. ——— A Veto by the President.

IT CANNOT BE REACHED TILL MAY 15TH—A CLOSE VOTE EXPECTED, WITH THE CHANCES, STILL IN FAVOR OF ITS PASSAGE. It is thought now that the appropriation bills cannot be disposed of in the House of Repre- sentatives in time to allow the calling up of the tarlif bill before the 15th of May. There is still much doubt and uncertainty as to what the fate of the bill will be. The tariff reformers think it will pass, but they are not sanguine enough to be boastful, The narrow lines of the democratic majority will not admit of much latitude for disaffeetion, and the uncertainty of the protectionist contingent of the party makes it very difficult to caiculate the strength of the bill, Its claimed by some that there will be quite a number of republicans to vote for the bill, but this is very uncertain, and it is claime¢ on the other hand that the President’s stand in favor of the tariff reduction will be calculated to make the republicans stand solidly together. With all these uncertain elements it still seems that thero {sa probability that the bill will get through by asmall majority. ‘se: Our Unprotected Border. GEN, MILES URGES THE STRENGTHENING OF ‘THE POSTS ON THE MEXICAN BOUNDARY. A dispatch from Fort Bowie, Arizona, April 23, says: Gen. Miles has written to Washington to-day concerning the unprotected condition of the national boundary, and advising an appro- priation by Congress of $200,000 to improve and strengthen the present posts and establish new ones, The present posts along the line are entirely inadequate to protect Arizona and New Mexico from outlaws from Mexico, or even to Testrain our own turbulent population and pro- Yent smuggling. From Fort Bliss, ‘Tex. to Fort Fuachuea, A. a stretch of 250 miles, there is not one post, and it is between these two Polnts that every raiding party from the Sierra ire has ontered this country, A dozen bodies of troops are stationed along the line between the points named, and itis extremely expensive to keep them 'there in temporary camp, all supplies having to be packed to then. The goveroment has given adequate protection east of El but from El Paso to the Colo- rado river the frontier is practically unpro- tected.” It is of most vital interest to the people of the Territories and of national importance that this long stretch be properly guarded. Gen. Miles adds: “It may be necessary for this government to eall on the Mexican government Temove renegades now in the Slerra Madre 8o far into the interior of Mexico that they will no longer menace the United States, or taixe the same action as was taken by Canada when the Sloux sought refuge in Dominion territory. Se JUMPED FROM A QUICKLY Movine TRAIN.— A gray-haired countryman, John Daters, aged yours, of Springdeld, Mines, Poliidaysburg, Pa.,on, Saturday, and indulged fy MAJ, HAINS POINTS OUT THE ERROR OF THE HOUSE AMENDMENT—TUE KIDWELL CLAIM NOT INVOLVED IN THE WORK IMMEDIATELY CONTEMPLATED, The letter ot Major Hains, now In the hands of Senator Edmunds, explaining the condi- tion of the Potomac Flats improvement, gave, asstated in Saturday’s Stak, a full explanation of the various contracts and the work done. After referring to the contracts with the present contractors; Messrs. Benson & McNee, the letter said “the first and only other larsé contract for the same kind of work on this im- provement was let under the act of August 2, 882, for 21.2 cents per cubic yard, whereas under the contracts of Messrs. Benson & McNee the work, as above stated, is being done for from 12.37 015.45 cents per cuble yard—prices much less than the original estimates. THE KIDWELL CLAIM. The amendments made to the bill by the ‘House of Representatives appear to have been made under the impression that the work, 50 far as it relates to filling on the flats, was bel gone largely or entirely’ upon, that’ part of the flats covered by the Kidwell patent and the claims for riparian rights—that is, on section one, as above described. But such is not the fact, and to this point I’ desire to ask especial attention. Under the first contract the dredging is in the Washington channel, solely for the- benedt of navigation, and thé deposit is on section three of the flats (below Long bridge),on which, as already stuted, there can be "no ¢laims adverse to the title and interest of the United,States, these flats having always been under water.’ Under the third contract the dredging now in progress 1s in the Virginia channel, below Long bridge, and the deposit is also on’ section three. A ‘smaller part, two- sovenths of the dredging under the contract, is to be done in the tidal reservoir on section two, and the deposit made in front of ‘and next to the monument grounds, (owned by the United States), and where the flats have always been covered ‘at low tide. On the second contract about 400,000 cubie yards of dredging from the Virginia channel (above Long bridge) is to be placed on section 2, next toand above Long bridge, where there can be no adverse claims. It was intended under this contract to deposit about 600,000 cubic yards in section one. Of this amount only about 300,000 cuble yards have been placed there. In other words, out of 2,700,000 cubic yards of dredging cailed for by these three contracts only 600,000 cubic yards were to be placed on that section of the flats which included or was jacent to the Kidwell or other claims, Of tnls 600,000 cube yards only one-half bas been so deposited, and if further deposit on this sec- tion be deemed inadvisable by Congress an- other place of deposit could, under the contract and _ specifications, be designated by the engi- neers {f there were funds on hand to prepare a Place of deposit by building embankments. DAMAGE LIKELY TO FOLLOW A SUSPENSION. Should dperations in this improvement be suspended great damage to the work in its in- complete state must inevitably result; the par- Hally dredged channel would be flied in by freshets. Especially would the Washington channel and the Virginia channel above long bridge suffer in this respect, as 1s shown by t results of the freshets of the last winter. The embankments and the fill already made in sec- tions 2 and 3 are, as yet, unprotected by the slope wall, and during high treshets the materal would be swept away into the channels, from which it must be redredged at increased cost. In 1882, when the work was begun, the fill- ing was made on section one because the dis- charge from the 17th street sewer had sp: over these flats which were exposed at every low tide, mating them a source of disease to that portion of the city adjacent thereto; and it was essential that they should be filled first, so that the freshets would not sweep over ther, and damage the work to be done below them, Section one has now been filled for the most part to an average of about six feet above low tide, and with comparatively little work in the way of protecting what has been done, might be left while the remaining sections below the sewer canal are being worked on. These sec- tions of the flats comprise about 600 acres of a total of 730 acres, and as there are no claims here adverse Jo the title of the United States work upon them can continued _ with economy and advan to the United States, not on! under the existing appropriation but under future appropriations. This, { take it, was contemplated by section six of the bill as it originally passed the Senate. ANOTHER EFFECT OF THE HOUSE AMENDMENT. I would call your attention to another adverse effect of the House amendment. It prohibits any expenditure whatever under the appropri- ation; not only would work under the contracts be suspended, but the immediate discharge of all inspectors and other employes on the work would be necessary. The entire organiza- tion of men whose experience and familiarity with its details would be of great value in future operations must be disbanded, and the final measurements of the work already done could not be made. I could not even employ a watchman to protect the public property in my charge now stored on the work or afloat in the river.” Seas Alexandria Affairs.

The commonwealth’s attorney had made a publica- tion charging the clerk with altering the re- cords of the court. The commonwealth’s attor- ney, Mr. Clements, was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Clerk Austin, charging Clements with a wilful, malicious and-eriminal. libel on the clerk in’ publishing a telegram which he (Clements) Ball sent tothe attorney general relative to an alleged alteration of the records, ‘The court ordered Bellar to be arraigned, and he pleaded that the court had no jurisdiction of hiscase. Further proceedings were postponed. ‘The commonwealth’s attorney will, when the court adjourns, give bail to answer th of libel, and next Monday the court of appeais will devide Bullar’s case. Frre.—Uloe Doran, a colored woman living in the upper back rooms of an old frame house, at the southeast corner of King and Columbus streets, was awakened just at midnight Satur- day by an overpowering sensation of beat. ‘Summer's come mighty soon,” she said, as she turned over in bed and saw a tongue of flame come through a crevice in the partition wall. She pitched her clothing out of the win- dow and followed with her trunk. Some per- sons came in and helped her to get her bed out. Meanwhile an alarm of fire was given. The neighborhood in which the fire occurred is one of the busiest rts of the town. Some of the stores near at_hand had not closed their doors; but the fire made such headway in the old house that by the time the Hydraulion steamer had gotten its twostreams on all the upper por- tion was in flames; and the family of Mr. Jos- eph Weils, with seven children, residing in the joining ‘house, under the sume roof, were not able to_get dressed before the fire was upon them.
