THE ROME TRIBUNE. VOL. VI. NO. I.'JB » HOT FOR HERBERT. The Secretary Charged With Overstepping His Authority. CADET APPOINTMENTS. An Alabama Boy Got a South Carolina Boy’s Place and a Row Ensues. Washington, March 6.—Some minoi routine business preceded the resump tion of debate on the pension appropria tion bill in the house. Quite a heated discussion was preclpi ted at the beginning of the session ovei a resolution instructing the secretary oi the navy to appoint a naval cadet from the fifth South Carolina district. It seemed that Strait, the representative from that district, failed to appoint a cadet and the secretary of the navy ap pointed one and charged to that district a young man from Alabama. It developed that in several other cases the secretary of the navy had filled the vacancies from the districts with resi dents of other districts aud there was a manifest disposition on the part of the members of the house to resent what they considered an infringement of their rights. The speaker, however, ruled the discussion out of order and Mr. Hop kins, of Illinois, demanded the regular order. Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, from the committee on judiciary asked unani mous consent for the consideration of a resolution directing an investigation by that committee of writs to the injunction issued by United States Judge Jenkins on behalf of the Farmers’ Loan and Trust company, against the Northern Pacific Railroad company. There were no objection and the resolution was adopted. > Senator Hill’s Resolution. Mr. Hill offered a resolution in the the senate that Whereas, the secretary of the treasury has announced a deficit of $<8,000,000 for the current fiscal year, and whereas, the Wilson bill proposes to discard $76,000,00u of revenue from the present taxes and meet the defincieucy by new internal and direct taxes. Be it Resolved, That the finance com mittee be instructed to frame an amend ment to said bill omifting the internal and direct taxes newly proposed, and instead thereof make provision for a sufficient, rev enue by taxing other foreign imports and otherwise revising the tariff without cre ating a deficiency. He asked that it be laid on the table for the present. Mr. Harris moved a second reading of the seigniorage bill and said there was no more earnest advocate of the silver coinage than himself, hut believing as he had that there was at least one ques tion that should take precedence of its consideration. Without any breach of confidence he was able to state the committee on finance was on the very eve of reporting the tariff bill. He. therefore, objected to further proceedings of the seignorage bill. Under that objection he claimed the bill would go to the calendar. Discussion followed, under an arrange ment made during the debate. Mr. Stewart did not press his motion to take up the Bland bill, but gave notice that he would make a motion at some other hour. EARLY LAID TO REST.
