The Copyright Bill Taken Up and * Laid Aside, THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL Brought Up in the Senate and Several Amendments Agreed To. THE LEGISLATIVE BILL. SENATE. In the course of the opening prayer the chap- lain, referring to Gen. Sherman's illness, said: Look in mercy upon Thy servant, sround whose sick bed 80 many hearts lovingly gather, S| and in this time of anxiety give support and grace. Oh, that the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, may keep bis hes: and mind as he casts himself upon the mercy of God. If it so pleases ‘Tce spare this life so long preserved; sonetify this affliction, and grant that as 'we move among the dy and the dead we may so live that when this mortal life shall end we may enter upon the | life that never ends. ‘The credentials of Mr. ‘Teller for his new March 4 next, were presented by Mr. Wolcott and placed on file. Among the bills reported and placed on the rr. Cullom to incorporate the Pan-American ‘Transportation Company. Senate bill establishing pier, ights at Atue- pee, Wis., was reported by Mr. Sawyer and pasted. A resolution was reported from the commit- tee ou privileges and elections, and agreed to, to pay ex-Senator Rice of Alabama the amount due to him as Sena Senate bill to_pi fourth judicial district in Utah was taken from the calendar and passed. House bill to pay £3,500 to the owners and crew of the whaling schooner Franklin of New Ledford, Mans. (in connection with the reseue of the crew of the Lorenzo B. Baker),was taken from the calendar and passed. Also House bill to grant to the Montana and Wyoming Railroad Company a right of we) through ‘the Crow Indian reservation (wit amendments). THE COPYRIGHT BILL. At 12 o'clock the Senate resumed considera- tion of the copyright bill, the pending question being the amendment offered by Mr. Sherman to strike out the word “prohibited” and insert the words “‘subject to the duties provided by Inw,"s0 that foreign copies of books ‘patented in the United States shall not be prohibited, but shall be subject to tariff duties. Mr. Platt ex} the opinion that the amendment was not framed in a nef to carry out the idea of its mover, and that i opted it would be a very palpable piece of nonsense. t Mr. Sherman had stated Mr. Harris said his intention of offering other amendments with a view of harmonizing them with the pending amendments, and that it would not be roper to act upon itin Mr. Sherman's absence. le Suggested whether it would not be proper to lot the copyright bill be laid arid for the day. The Senator from Ohio would probably be in his seat tomorrow, but he was now neces- sarily absent. Mr. Platt said that the suggestion placed him in a very delicate and embarrassing situation. ‘Since the 3d of December last he had labored to the best of his ability to get_s consideration of the copyright bill, and now it was before the Senate in the regular course of business. Of course no one regretted more than he did the fact that the from Ohio had been called away by what the whole nation regarded as a great sorrow and calam- ity. but if the bill were laid aside now it was probable that it was gone for the rest of the seasion. Mr. Hale suggested that the District of Co- lumbia appropriation bill should be taken up and proceeded with, the copyright bill being laid aside informally and continuing to be the “untinished business.” Mr. Platt assented to that a: ment— particularly as appropriation bills pre- cedence of all other bills. = BILLS PASSED. The following bills were taken from the calendar and passed: Senate bill to provide for the appointment of a reporter for the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia. House bill for the relief of the owners and crews of the American whaling vessels ‘Midas, Progress, Lagoda, Daniel Webster and Europa. HE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the District of Columbia appropriation bill. Among the amendments recommended by the commitice and agreed to were. the following: Striking out the item of $15,000 for the ex- mses of assessment of real estate and insert. ing an item of $7,500 for three ‘assistant as sewsors at 72,500 each and an item of $6,000 for the expenses of the aaseusinent of 1892. Increasing the salary of the district attorney from $4,000 to $5,000 und of the assistant attor- ney from $2,000 to e000.” Increasing the approp: lor paving and curbing of roadways from $25,000 t¢ $50,000, Striking out several detailed items for im- rovements and repairs an propriat a walk sum of $567,200. a Inereasing the ‘appropriation for concrete pavements from $125,000 to $135,000, Tne item for suburban sewers from rents tem terrae! Increaring item for ave- nue with granite block: from repairs to shtwood $15,000 to $20,000. Inserting item of $6,000 fo: paving Clifton street from 1th street eastward with asphalt, Inserting item of 10,000 for graveling the strect connecting Columbia road with Con- eee ww lucing from =21.5 ir year fllowsnce for gasor oil'lampe. Increasing ‘the ‘appropriation for electric lighting from #42, ,500, extending that service and reducing the pay for the electric arc lights (from sunset to sunrise) to 55 cents gnch per night, and inserting a proviso author- izing u three years’ cont cents per lamp per night. HOUSE. On motion of Mr. Peel (Ark.) Senate bill was passed authorizing the Kansas and Arkan- Indian territory. Senate bills were for the relief of G. Mrs. Bestor Bestor, 0. H. a went into committee of the whole (Mr. Payson of Mlinois ithe chair) on the ‘appropriation bill, CLEVELAND'S ANT-SILVER LETTER. In to s verbal amendment, Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) sent to the clerk's desk, with his hearty of the hee Shoe = meee Mr. Kerr—I am. 7" tioman waa chairman of the commitiee on oe 1 had the chance the ‘vote with us, Now re ‘has been confirmed in his views sae Railroad Company to extend its line in the | | 4 increasing the number of clerks in the Indian Office, and in the course of his remarks at tributed the recent Indian ou! to a great ¢, to the inability of the Indian office to Tespond ppomptly to demands made on it. ir. Butterworth said that this was the first time he had heard that Indian outbreaks were on account of a scarcity of clerks in the office. It was not an iciency of clerks, but an insufficiency of food which had given rise to the recent troubles. were almost as many clerks now as there were Indians. ipeeial knowledge on ihe subject thought thst ial knowledge on the subject, thought that ¢ clerical force should be increased. Mr. Perkins said that he did not mean to suggest that the Indien war was precipitated by @ lack of cierke, but a want of proper force in the office to consider contracts there pend- ing embarrasred its work and prevented prompt supplies being given to the Indians. ir. Perkins’ amendment was lost. MR. COOPER ON THE PENSION OFFICE. In speaking to the pension office paragraph, ‘Mr. Cooper (Ind.) inade an attack upon the su- Perintendent of the pension building, asserting that he had stored several hundred of bushels of potatoes in the pension office and sold them to employes, thus turning a government de- partment into a buckstering establishment. Mr. Enloe (Tenn.) attacked the adiministra- tion of the pension office and offered an amend- ment reducing to $3,000 the salary of the com- missioner. ORN. RAUM DEFENDED. Mr. Perkins (Kan.) came to the support of Commissioner Raum, declaring that no more faithful, efficient, honest and capable man ever presided over tie pension office than the pres- ent commissioner. His only fault seemed to be that he was a gentleman and had been @ Union soldier. He (Mr. Per- kins) protested against the accusations indulged in without foundation and which in his judgment were untrue. Mr. Enloe replied that he pursued no man from any personal motive or because that man had been @ Union soidier, He had asked for an investigation because charges (which he be- lieved ‘to be justifiable) bad been made against Commissioner Kaum. If such charges had been made against him (Mr. Enlve) would have deman:ied a complete investigation. He would have had an investigation worth something or no investigation at all. He with- drew the amendment. PONIES ACES, THE SENATE AMENDMENTS. If They Are Agreed to There Will Be No Likelihood of a Deficiency. “The prospect of a deficiency in the reve- nues of the District of Columbia for the current fiscal year,” said Auditor Petty to a Stan re- Porter this morning, “including the sum pay- able by the United States of nearly $400,000, has been the cause of great anxiety to the Commissioners and the several heads cf de- partments charged with the duty of disbure- ing the various appropriations. It has been evident to them,” continued Mr. Petty, “for some months past that unless some plan of re- lief could be adopted many important public works would of necessity be abandoned, if in- dged it might not be necessary to retrench in the matter of salaries. In view of these facts it is not strange that some of amendments made in the District bill us reported to the Senate esterday have given the liveliest satis- faction. I have watched this matter with great | condition: attention and am pleased with crediting back to the a paid for the 48-inch main and the estab- lishment and maintenance of the Zoological Park. If the House to the Senate amend- ments in these partic ficit will be banished and ample means will be the provisions athand to meet all the requirements of the | que teil government for salaries, the public schools, BUT LITTLE HOPE. The Physician’s Opinion of General Sherman's Condition. RERRA IN THE INDUN BUREAU. A Bold But Unsuccessful Attempt to Rob a Bank. MR. BRADLAUGH’S SUCCESSOR GEN. SHERMAN IMPROVING. Hopes Entertained That He May Eventually Recover. New Yorx, Feb. 12.—The lights and the flitting shadows in the death chamber of the old warrior, who is slowly passing away, were carefully watched during the entire night by a score of newspaper men, and every bulletin issued by Drs, Alexander and Janeway was quickly wired all over the continent. During the night Rev. Father Taylor of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament was called to the bedside of the dying general and he remained there until about $ o'clock. At about 1:30 a memen- ger rushed out of the houre to the telegraph office with a message to Senator Sherman, call- ing him instantly to the bedside of his brother. He arrived in a carriage at 2:30 and consider- able movement was then noticed in the gen- eral’s bed room. After a short while, however, the light was turned down and the announce- ment was made that though no change had taken place in the general's condition he was, however, sinking rapidly. Two policemen were on duty outside and crerything waa kept ax quiet as possible in the neighborhood. ‘The
