TOLD—lUU.3 AM) MKAfil ItKS UNDER
CONSIDERATION —OTHER NOTES.
TUB 1IOU8K.
Wednesday.—In tho house, Wodnes-
day, Mr. O’Neill, of Missouri, from the
committee on inter-state and foreign
commerce, reported the senato bill fixing
the compensation of keepers ami crews
of life-saving stations. Conunittco of the
whole. Tho senato bill fixing the salary
of keepers at $000 per annum, nnd crow
at $05 per month. The house committee,
on motion of Mr. O'Neill, has been
amended so as to mnko keepers’ salary
$1,000 and that of crow $75 per month.
Tho house then went into a committee as
u whole, Hichnrdsen, of Tenucsceo, ia
tho chair. On the District of Columbia
appropriation bill Dockery, of Missouri,
in chnrgo of tho measure, mado a brief
explanation as to tho roiuctioas of tho
appropriations proposed.
Tiiuusday.—Iu the homo Thursday
morning, Mr. Watson, of Georgia, rising
to u question of personal privilege, seat
to the clerk’s desk and had read a special
disputch to the Atlanta Constitution from
Washington, criticising his voto on tho
Crsig-Stewart contested election case.
Tho dispatch stated ns a fact that Mr.
Watson had bcou a democrat, a third
partyite, and now plays in tho role of a
republican; thnt tie voted tquareiy with
the republicans ngnimt seating tho dem
ocratic contestant, who was fairly
elected. That lie was pi tying into the
hands of the republicans in order that he
might secure financial aid from them iu
his next campaign for congress. It fur
ther stated, us nn opinion based on the
fact and expressions of members, that
democrats could placo but one construc
tion upou Mr. Watson’s vote, and that was
ho was playing to the republican party.
These accusations Mr. Watson do-
nouuccd as base and infamous falsehoods.
On tho other hand the Constitution’s
col respondent reiterates his previous
stntcm nts, nnd thus the matter stands.
After th q little breeze tho house dis
cussed the district appropriation bill.
Aftor tho expiration of the morning hour,
a proposition to allow railroad companies
to grant special rates to commercial trav
elers was discussed until adjournment.
Friday.—Mr. Mitchlor, of Pennsyl
vania, from the committee on appropria
tions, reported tho invalid pension appro
priation bill, nnd it was referred to the
committco of tho whole. Thu honso then
went into tho committee of the whole
(Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, in tho chair) on
the private cnlendur.
Satuuday.—Tho urgent deficiency np-
ptopriation bill was taken up in the house
Saturday. Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, called
up the bill appropriating (as a deficiency)
$150,000 for carrying on the work of tho
buroa of nnnunl industry nnd $10,000 for
tho production cf sugar. Mr, I (oilman
opposed tho bill on the ground tint the
c'linmittcc on agriculture Dad no juris
diction over the matter nnd that it prop
erly came under the jurisdiction of tho
committco on appropriations. This led
to a spirited delmto between Hatch and
Holman. The tilt occasioned much mer
riment for the houso. Tho bill was thon
paticd without amendment.
THE SENATE.
Wednesday.—In the senate, Wednes
day, the Idaho election case was tnkou
up nnd Mr. George statod the reasons
which would control his own notion iu
casting his vote for the contestant. Tho
question, he mid, was a very interesting
one, nnd its decision was of great mo
ment, not only to tho state of Idaho, but
to tho whole country. Tluro was no
room in the case for personal prejudices
or for considerations of party advantages
either now or in tho future. 'Iho senato’s
solemn duty and its sworn obligation was
to consider the question impartially,
without being swayed by any considera
tion whatever, except a desire to do right.
The action of the senate should Ik* purely
judicial. It was the business of tho
senate, on this question, not to make
law, but to ascertain the law and facts,
and to decide iu accordance witli them.
Thursday.—In tho senate Thursday
the right of Dubois to retain his scat was
nfiiintcd by a vote of 55 to 5. Senator
Hill votod cm the different propositions
in favor of Dubois. Mr. Call gave no
tice that although he had intended to
address the senate during the dny upon
a resolution introduced by him relative
to tho interference of railways in the
Florida senatorial elections, iu doferenco
to the pending order, he would postpone
the delivery of his speech until next
Monday. The Paddock i urc-food bill
consumed the rest of the day.
Friday.—Among tho bills reported
from committees and plnccd on the sen
ate caleuder Friday were the following:
To authorize the Norfolk and Western
if ail road company, of Virginia, to extend
its line of road into the District of Co
lumbia; to authorize the saloof the site of
Ft. Francis barrncks, Florida, and to pro
vide for a new site aud construction of
suitable buildings thereon; to ostybliih
lineal promotion through several lines of
artillery, cavalry nnd infantry of the
army. Mr. Stanford introduced a hill
directing tho purchase of silver bullion
and coinage thereof. Referred to tho
finance committee. Mr. Walthall offered
a resolution, which was agreed to, di
recting the committee on privileges ano
elections to Inquire anil consider whether
further legislation is not necessary
to put at rest such questions as
have from time to time niiicn out of tho
construction of the existing law regulat
ing the time and manner of holding elec
tions for United Sta es aerators. The
pure food bill was then taken up and Mr.
Vest stated at some length his position
in regard to it and to such legislation in
general. He y elded for a moment to
have the house District of Columbia ap
propriation bill presented and referred to
the committee on appropriations.
Monday.—The pure food bill was the
main topic before the senate Monday.
A vote on the motion to stiike out sec
tion i and 8 disc osed tho absence of
a quorum, and the senato adjourned.
NOTES.
In the senate, Friday, Gen. Gordon
offered q resolution for tho payment to
the estate of Alexander II. Strplions, of
Georgia, of tho expenses incurred by him
in prosecuting his claim to a seat in tho
senato (in the reconstruction period).
A statement, prepared by tho commis
sioner of imehisl icvonuu in regard to
the sugar bounty, shows thnt 2,525 claims
for bounty, amounting to $9,914,034,
have been received, aud that 026 claims
amounting to $3,052,020 havo been paid.
Tho Mate department, on Tuesday, re
ceived n list of the verified claims of sail
ors of the Baltimore, against tho Chilian
government for injuries alleged to have
been received during tho riots in Valpa-
also, amounting to $0,005,000.
Tho third party platform has been
printed for circulat on. Tho copies sent
to southern mon in Washington have tho
plank about pnjing pensions stricken
out. The third pally loaders know that
plank could never bo endorsed by south
ern men, hut they think it will go in tho
west.
Senator Stanford, of California, lias
put nn cud to the talk of his being
the tiiiid pr ty nominee for the presi
dency. A Washington dispatch of Sat
urday quotes him ns saying, in response
to nn Inquiry regarding the matter: “I
am a republican. I would not dcoltno a
nomination from the republican party,
hut I would not affiliate with any other.
Thcro 1ms been a great deal of objection
raised in recuut year* by coastwise vessel
owners to paying compulsory pilotngo to
stato pilots whenever their vessels enter
or loavo any of tho porta along the At
lnntic coast, for the roason that in almost
every instance tho vessel's pilot is thor
oughly capable of pllotlug his own ship.
To remedy this ana tnako tho law general
a bill lias been introduced in congress to
abolish compulsory pilotage feos.
In tho sennto tho puro food bill is tho
pending order. Thcro are signs that thu
measuto is about to encounter a consider
able dogree of opposition in ndditiou to
the attacks already made upou it, nnd
this may take tho shape ol nn iuterjoction
into tho regular course of huninnisof long
speeches and debates on other matters in
tho expectation that some of the regular
appropriation bills will finally bo brought
forward to di-placo tho puro food bill.
Tho business of this congress is ahead
of that of any congress for several years.
Bpcnkcr Crisp at tho opening, stated thnt
it should bo n congress of busincs -, nnd
ho is making it such already. Three reg
ular appropriation bills have boon passed
and a fourth ia ready for adoption. Tho
bills adopted nnd sent to tho senate are
tho military academy, and tho Indian
appropriation, nnd the District of Co
lumbia, whilo tho pension appropriation
bill has beun pissed upon and will be
finally adopted. Besides these, throe
urgency dificLncy appropriation hills
have been passed. Several other regular
appropriation bills havo been reported,
nnd will bu pushed through very soon.
In tho lift oth and fifty-first congress not
nioro thun one appropriation bill lmd boon
patsod at this time. In tho tariff and
other important legislation this congress
is even further ahead than all previous
ones. The tariff bills havo been reported
and will bo taken up for dohatu at once,
an l before the end of this month cer
tainly they nnd perhaps several others
will have been passed and sent to tho
icnuto.

LUMBERMEN IN SESSION.
The Report in Its Favor as Prepared
by Mr. Turner, of Georgia.
Following is tho report of Mr. Turner,
of Gcorgin.from tho ways and means com
mittee, iu favor of tho hill to admit free
of duty bagging for cotton, mao!dn6ry
for manufacturing bagging, cotton tic-*
and cotton gins:
Tho bill proposes nn act of tardy justice
to those who contribute tho chief item of
our export trade;. We sent abroad dur
ing twelve mouths ended Docombcr 51.
1891, 5,027,852 hales of cotton, of the
a K8 rt: g ate of $227,058,511. Tho
concession which tins meusuro contem
plates is coincident with tho greatest de
pression which thu producers of cotton
nave suffered in a generation. The time
is ripe forsomo mitigation of their bur
dens. Cotton, when sold in thu markets
of Europe, is subjected to
a tare, or deduction, for
bagging nnd ties. Tho American price
is fixed relatively to tho price paid for
cotton abroad. Tho cost, therefore, of
covering and tics, which itieloso lint, is a
sacrifice inflicted on tho cotton grower in
both foreign and home markets. The
argument which inveighs ngainst tho ex
emption of ties from duty, whilo the
band, iron or steel, from which they aro
made is still subject to duty, is
without forco under these circum-
srances. The principle of tho
drawback applies here in full force; bug
ging is covered by tho snino sort of
equity. The right to resort to hpportod
bagging and tics will it is confidently
believed, protect farmers and laborers
engaged in tho production of cotton
agninst corners and combinations among
those who, tinder the present tariff, con
trol tho supply of those indispensable or
tides. Thu exemption of machinery used
in the manufacture of hugging, is pro
posed iu this bill for tho benefit of Amer
ican bagging factories. They already
ha/e their raw materials free.
An additional reason is suggested by
the fact that, if these very simple ma
chines can be imported free, the farmers
themselves can join in the production of
bagging. They will thus havo in their
own hands a final defenso ngainst trusts
and monopolies. They are still smarting
from ibc oppression which a very recent
combination imposed, the raising of the
price of bagging marly 100 per cent.
Tho effect of tho McKinley rates upon
bagging and ties lias not yet been fully
enveloped. Tho first result lias been to
cut off the importations of these articles.
The next step will bo an augmentation
of price. Trust is ulwuys a possible sup
plement to pr tcction.
