The senate, after some unimpor
taut preliminary business, took up
the education bill. The amendment
offered by Logan was agreed to,
providing that the secretary of the in
terior ii charged with the proper ad
ministration of this law through the
CDinmiesioner of education, and those
two effleeraj are authorizad, with the
approval of the president, to make
ali needful rules and regulations not
inconsistent with the bill to carry
out those provisions.
Logan said his otje-et was to estab-
lien a part of the board instead of
ItavU g the ouestiocs arising under
the bill entirely to the secretary of
the interior.
Other amendments were agreed to
liqulring from the state i.fflctryeaily
reports of the teachers’ salaries, num
ber of school districts, relative num
bers of white and colored children,
substituting the census of 1890 as a
basis of apportionment after that
cei.bus fhall have been taker:; pro
viding that if any state should de
cline or relinquish its prorata it
ihould go to increase the quota of the
states accepting; requiring the secre
tary of interior to investigate com
plaints of unjust discrimination in
the application of the funds, and in
cluding the District of Columbia in
the bill. A number of amendments
locking to the regulation of studies
in the sohools aided by this bill were
rejected.
Plumb ufitered an amendment pro
viding that no state should be enti
tled to any of this educational fund
till it shall have filed with the secre
tary of interi or a sample of each
school bock in use in its common
schools. After considerable debate
Plumb’s amendment was rej eted,
but on his renewing the part of the
amendment requiring that samples
of school books ne fl'ed in the interior
department without making the
state’s title to the money depend on
such filing, it was agreed to.
Other amendments of detail were
rnaiie on motion of Elmunds, Ev
ans, Hall, Ddph, Btair, Ingalls,
Teller, Eudu, L'gsn, Hampton and
Coi.ger The bill having thus baea
perfected as in the committee of the
whole was reported to the senate and
most of the amendments made in the
committee of the wnole were agreed
to,
On motion of George the section
letting forth that the design of the
act was not to establish an lndepeDs
dent echool system in the states, but
only to extend aid to the state gov
ernment, was restored by a unani
mous vote.
Plumb read some arttclsa from the
New York Evening Post to show
that since the agitation of the ques
tion of national aid the states of the
louth had not put forth their usual
efforts for education.
The bill was then read the third
time aud passed—yeas 86, nays 11. A

owing to the necessary absence of

Galveston, Tex, Maroh 5.—The
meeting of the local trade assemblies
adjourned afer midnigui last night
It was determined that the Mallory
boycott should be immediately en
forced against the Gulf, Colorado and
Banta F - and the Missouri Pacific
roads. The order will at onoe be is
sued that every knight of labor work-
irg on either of these lines must re*
fuse to handle freight consigned to
or from the Mallory company. This
will bring matters to a crisis, as the
reads will bo compelled to d aiharge
the men who refuse to handle the
boycotted freight and then a g neral
s rike will probably follow.
THE CAR LINES TIE UP
New York, March 5 —The grand
"tie up” oi all the Surface Hues ot
the city, ordered by the executive
board of the Empire protective asso
oiation, took place this morning at
4:02 o’clock. The first car for the day
on the Bix h Avenue road should
have l.-lr the depot at Forty-.third
streel. Tne oat did not do so, and as
the night men arrived with their
oars they ran them into the stables.
The men stood around quietly,
laughed and onatted in the best of
humor, and did not attempt to resort
to any violence. The last oar left the
Broadway railroad depot at 3:15
o’clock. The next one to arrive en
tered the depot and did not come cu’
again. The men were very quiet.
They did not intend to tie up
until 4:59 a m, but as agents
from rhe Empire protective asso
oiation arrived and ordered
the men to le .vc, they did so on the
instant. They assembled in orderly
groups and prepared to march to their
hall on West Fifty second street,
where they will remain during the
day. W en car No 204 <f the Third
Avenue line reached the depot at
Sixty-fifth street at 4:20 o’olock the
drivers turr e 1 from tne main track
into the stables and unhitched the
horses Every car that arrived sub
•equently did the aame. Ther? was
nor tr e slightest excitement or noise.
At 4:45 o’clock there were only flf
teen men about the depot. They all
belonged to the night force, for the
day men simplified matters by not
reporting for duty, President Lamb,
of the company, was immediately
notified, but hedecidudnot to do any
thing until he calls the directors
together during the day, when it will
be decided whether it will be worth
while to make an effort to run the
cars A few policemen were sent
over from the Fifty-ninth street sta
tion, but their services were not
Deeded, for everything was quiet. It
was said at the polioe headquarters
that the presidents of the car com-
panics were holding a meeting this
morning, and that it was the general
opinion that they will advise Rich
ards in and the directors of the Dry-
Dock, East Broadway and Battery
railroad company to accede to the de
mands of the men Chairman O’Don
nell, of the strikers’ committee, was
in Brooklyn. The local oommit
tee here, it wae said, will not order
the tie-up to be loosened until they
hear from O’Donnell that the de
mands of the men on Richardson's
Brooklyn roads have also been grant
ed. At 4:30 the cars in B ooklyn
were all running on schedule time,
except the A’.lantio Avenue line,
which went out on Wednesday.
There was no trouble at any place in
the city. The strikers have disap
peared. At 6:30 every line in the
city had tied up. jt t L
At half-past ten no disturbance has
bs-'n reported to the police. Not a
oar is running and the city appears as
if dead. Nothing like it hai been
witnessed sinoe the worst days of ep-
isootio—a dozen years ago. In Brook
lyn seven roads operated by the At
lantic avenue railroad company tied
up, but no violence ia reported. The
New York police are thoroughly or-
ganizid and confident of its ability to
repress promptly any disposition
to riot or disorder. Every
man able to put oa a uniform
and carry a club wasordered on duty
during the night, and 1500 men oan
to-day be concentrated at a moment’s
notice at any point where trouble
may threaten. Tne headquarters
looks like an enormous bivouac of
uniformed men held in readinesi to
answer calls from any quarter Bquais
of 15 or 20 polloemen were dispatched
early to guard around tne depots and
stables. JI.-i-i’.'-u Dicn pa.i-i — a

Washington, M*cb 6 - During
the mouth of F bi nary the secre'ary
purchased 1 4<’0 000 ounces of silver
for coinage into standard dollars,
being about 500 000 leas then 'lie
usual rennibly purchase. It is t x-
plained at the department that the
amount of silver fell short because :to
more was offered at the market rates.
The price was higher, ■■wing io the
incret s' i expenses of transportation
(hiring the ha; wta' ! er which pre
vailed during the mouth. There
was, however, sufficient bullion
ou hand to allow ihe coinage
of dollars to the minimum limit.
These silver purchases are made
semi weekly. A c rnmiselon con
slating of Assistant Secretary Fair-
child, Mr Kimball, director <f the
mint, and Treasurur Jordan, consid
ers the bids received and reports to
the secretary the advisability of their
acceptance A division of eentiirent i
ties prevailed for several weeks p st
among the members ot tbe commis
sion as to the legdity of h
purchases in question. Treasurer J.m
dan holds mat there should be
a specific appropria’ion for such pur
chases and iu Ihe abseuoe of such
appropriation, invariably recoin-
m nils the rejection of ail bids re
ceived. The two ofbei members o!
the commission hold that the coin
age act requirii.g ihe purcha e of
bullion and the coll ate of not less
chan two millions In standard dollars
in each month, is in tbs nature of a
permanent appropriation and con*
re is full authority in the premises
Tne result has been that for several
weeks past the secretary haw
received two reports on the
subject, the majority report
recommending the acceptance of the
lowest hid received, and the minority
re pi r recommending the rejection of
all bids. The secretary has in each
instance approved the majur'ty re
port and directed that silver be pur
chased in accordance therewith. Had
he acted la accordance with the rec
ommendation of Treasurer Joni .n
no silver would have been purebau-d,
and the ootnage of standard dollars
to the limit provided by law would
have bem prae'ically suspend-d.

Hi-rli gfle’d Kepablloan,
The most tiresome man in congress
is Senator Morgan, o' Alabama Ho
Is a good lawyer and has n wonderful
lacUlty in framiug grammatical foi*
tenors. This is what makes him a
bore. Ho oan talk by the hou- and
say very little What is worse, he
dees. Whenever he ris<s to epr-ak,
and be speaks on ov< ry question, the
rest of the senate takes a recess.
The toughest looking specimen in
congress, is still Wollord, of K -n*
tuuky, though lie lias improved a
goi d deal since his first appearance
two years ago Then he su'd, m
wore a collar in the house, and his
whole attire was of a cbaructar that
a-' ranted every body’s attention.
Now, his friends have bought a new
“U>t of clothing for him, aud he is
really in a preseutublocondHlon. Iu
iliehousehe goes by the name of
“Punch," owing to his resemblance
to the portraits of that character,
The republicsns are developing
ah ut as great a bore as Morgan on
their side, in the person of Wilson, of
Iowa. Wilson is a very ponderous
man, who came into tbe senate with
something of a reputaton leftover
from his service in the hou o He
u*iiire) to he a statesman, and ao bs*
tween sessions ha or his clerk work
up a lot of speeches on various mat
ters. Then, at intervals, he proceeds
to take tbs fi or and deliver them.
The honor of being the plainest*
looking mart in congress is borne this
winter by Lyman, a new member,
from I wa He lias a smooth face,
round shoulders, carrot'y hair, fi ti-
toned nofe and an exprendon of utter
vacuity. Tbe firs! day he was in’he
house every one sHu pel to look after
him, He lives in C tine 1 ! Bluffs,anil
is considered so good a I ■ wy-wthathe
declined a place in tae supreme oourt
tji tils state in order to c rue to con*
itress. He is really a strong man,and
tils associates are beginning to find
it out.
