Fifty-Second Congress.
Measures Discussed and Bills Passed
By Our National Law-Makers.
THE SEX ATE.
In the senate, Thursday, Mr. Hill in¬
troduced a resolution, which went over
until Friday, calling on the secretary of
state for an opinion as to whether the
Chandler inuuigrat on suspension bill is
violation of the treaty.
In the senate Friday, Mr. Hill’s reso-
lution of Thursday as to the immigration
bill was taken up and agreed to. The
quarantine bill was then tuken up and
was under discussion when, on motion of
Mr. Sherman at 12:50 o’clock the senate
proceeded to executive business. After
a few minutes the doors were re-opened
and consideration of the quarantine bill
was resumed. The remainder of the
day’s session was given exclusively to the
.[discussion gration for of the bill to suspend Mr. Chandler immi-
one year,
spoke for about three hours, devot¬
ing most of his argument to the last
mentioned bill, although the other was
really the one that was up for discus¬
sion. Io this latter,however, an amend- ,
ment was pending to authorize the pres.-
dent immigration to issue from a proclamation countries where suspending chole-
icholera may be prevailing. Argu-

Assigned 6 d consideration^of A SH ‘ ng -
day forthe
as to quarantine and as to suspending
immigration have proved to be too short
a time for the disposal of even the first
of these measures, and the special or
dcr was extended so as to in-
elude Monday after which, if the meas-
urcs be then disposed of, the anti-option
bill will, in ail probability, displace
them. A vote might have been reached
on the quarantine bill during the dav
■ had not .Mr. White avowed his purpose
to prevent it, nor would he give his con-
sent to have the initial vote taken Mon-
;day, inasmuch as he had learned that
[several gentlemen from New Orleans
were on their way to Washington t«
present their views in opposition to the
measure. Among the amendments
the quarantine bill that were agreed to
was one substituting the words “other
contHginus or infectious disease” for the
words “yellow fever,” and one making
an the appropriation of $1,000,000 to be at
disposal of the president to the exi-
gencies in the execution of the provisions
of the laws.
At the close of the routine morning
business of the senate, Monday, the joint
resolution introduced December the 21st
by Mr. McPherson, authorizing and di-
reeling the secretary of the treasury bullion to
suspend all purchases of silver
under act of July 14th, 1890, was taken
up, and Mr. McPherson addressed the
eenate, taking for his text (which he
sent, to the clerk’s desk and had read),
‘the plank in the last democratic national
convention, denouncing the Sherman bill
as a cowardly makeshift, and declaring
that the legislation must be repealed.
THE nOUSE.
Private pension bills coming over from
the last session were considered in the
house Thursday as unfinished business.
Thero was a bare quorum in attendance.
The session at the house Fri lay was
nu uneventful one. The attendance was
small, and nothing but private business
was considered with the exception of the
bill providing for the muster pay of cer¬
tain officers and men of the volunteer
forces. About twenty-five private pen-
sion bills wore passed aud the house ad-
journed.
The house wns engaged all day Satur-
day in consideration of the District of
Columbia appropriation bill. The only
incident of interest was a discussion as
to the amount which the general govern-
ment should appropriate for the support
of the district, and this discussion was
merely impromptu one. It, however, eu-
abled Mr. Otis, of Kansas, to present his
reasons why the government should pay
no more th>m one-fourth of the appropri-
ation for the district aud Mr. De Armond,
of Missouri, to express his disapproba-
tion of the government saddling upon
itself any part of the expense, but the
housc did not concur with either of these
gentlemen and the present law was al-
lowed to remain, the government and
district government to divide expenses,
Without disposing of the bill the house
abjoured.
In the house, Monday, the District of
Columbia appropriation bill occupied the
attention of the earlier hours aud was
passed. The house committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce ordered a
favorable report on the bill for the es-
■ tablishment of a national quarantine.
The measure agreed upon is similar to
the Harris bill now under discussion and
contains all the amendments to the Har-
ris bill adopted by the senate The bill
“ r ?P°f! ed a suhsHtnte for the bill in-
troduced in the house by Mr. Raynor, of
Maryland,and was agreed upon by a sub-
committee of the senate. The committee
on committee measure will be reported to
the house by Mr. Raynor, with a report
recommending its passage.
The routine business, . of
momma none
it important, occupied the halt hour in
the house, Friday morning, and at its
close the bill granting additional quaran-
tine powers and imposing additional du-
ties on the Marine hospital service was
again taken up,the pending question be -
ing an amendment offered by Mr. White
(demcraO of Iowa, that all provisions of
the act shall expire on the first of January.
Consideration of the bill for admission
of the Norfolk and Western railroad into
the District of Columbia. The bill was
passed.
CAPITAL GOSSIP.
The senate Friday confirmed the nomi-
cation of Gilbert A. Pierce, Minnesota,
as Minister to Portugal.
Secretary of War Elkins has recom¬
mended ip congress aa appropriation of
$250,000 for a building at Fort Pulaski,

nomination of Henry Clay Evans, of
Tennessee, to be first assistant postmas¬
ter general.

The house committee on naval affairs
has decided not to begin the preparation
%
made to ihe house by the ways and means
committee. The committee does not
wish to put the bill to the house until
they are sure that the recommendations
they may make for appropriations are
warranted by the condition of the treas¬
ury.
Mr. Harris’ bill, looking to the ex-
tension of national control in Tuesday quarantine and
matters, passed the senate does
now goes to the house. It not.
place quarantine matters under exclusive
national control, but extends the powers
of the marine hospital service in such
matters in conjuction with the state quar-
antines already in existence. It is a long
step in the direction of turning all quar-
antine matters over to the national gov-
ernment.

thing over $13,000,000. The commit-
tee, after hearing this statement, inforra-

pusi 1 *u s bill,
After the Commission.
The civil service commission may be
obliged to take its turn upon the con-
gressional rack. In the house, Monday
morning, Mr. Bynum offered for refer-
ence a resolution directing the civil ser-
vice commission to furnish the names of
all appointees reinstated in the classified
service of the government since the 4th
of March, 1889; the cause of their sepa-
ration from the service; the states to
which they were changed at the time of
their separation and the states to which
they were credited upon their reinstate¬
ment. Mr. Bynum biiefly explained the
iutent of this resolution by saying that a
number of employes under the classified
service had been discharged for cause
and had been reinstated. This was
against the rules, which distinctly pro¬
vide that such employes dismissed from
the government service for misdemeanor
should not be reinstated.
Civil Service Extension.
By an executive order issued by Presi-
dent Harrison, Friday, postoifices the employes in
all free deliv* ry iu the United
States are brought within the classified
service. The order also brings into the
classified service the employes of the
weather bureau under the agricultural de-
partment. Heretofore the classified service
has only extended to free delivery post-
offices having fifty or more employes,
The present order is sweeping, and ex-
tends to all the free delivery offices,
whether they have forty-nine employes or
four,which is the lowesi number in the free
delivery offices. It will bring in from
8.000 to 10,000 republican minor officials
and carriers at free delivery offices. The
order, as it applies to the weather bu-
re&u, will probably protect from 400 to
500 republican officials. By the terms
of the order, however, these officials
must first pass a civil service examina-
tion, which is provided for before ob-
taining the immunity from dismissal for
partisan reasons. After this order goes
xd!o tffect there will be about 50,000 em-
ployes under the protection of the civil
service law, including those iu the cus-
toms service,

day afternoon by a combitiaiiou of popu¬
lists and democrats. The election of a

There is a prospect now that the long
cotton strike will soon be settled by an
amicable arrangement between the mas¬

tage of the exciting chapter of accidents
to the river coal transportation—fre<zing
up of the river, then the breaking of the
ice gorge with a great loss of coal barges,
followed by another treeze and very cold
weather, and have raised the price of
coal to $0 per ton. The prospect is that
it will go to $7 or $8 before it falls. The
P’iee was $2.50 per ton before the freeze
began.
A special of Tuesday from Cheyenne,
Wyoming, says: In four days 290 tales¬
men have been called for jury service in
the trial of the blue-blooded Johnson
county regulators. Twenty-three have
been peremptorily challenged aud not one
accepted by both sidis. At this rate
3,764 talesmen will be required and the
county h s ordered about 2,000. The
outlook is discouraging to the prosecu¬
tion. In ease a jury cannot be s. cured,
the defendants will be discharged.
There are 391 peremptory challenges to
be used.
A special of Friday from Helena, Mon¬
tana, says: The democratic and popu¬
list members of the h. use of representa¬
tives have come to an understanding in

menting Sanders with their votes.

party man. and that Judge John Martin
was not an available candidate. Martin
has been locked upon heretofore as a
responsible possible fusion effecting candidate, he fusion having been
for a between
the populists and democrats. The dem¬
ocrats are very much put out over '.he
action of the populists’ caucus anti the
chances are that the five members of tbe
legislature who held the ba'acce of
power wiil stand Srm for a ompromi-c
candidate.

BUCHANAN’S MESSAGE,
He Giyes an Exhaustive Review of Ten*
nessee’s Mining Troubles.
Governor Buchanan, on*Moad»y, font
in his message to the general assembly of
Tennessee. The message opens with a
statement regarding the labor troubles
which have occurred during the past two
years in the e -stern portion of the state.
growing out of a sense of injustice and
oppression on the part of the miners be-
cause they are compelled to bear the
chief b f den of the competition with the
labor of ihe state convicts. He says the
state is a f partv to the lease contract and

in manv cases d fficult for them to repre She .

Further on he savs: “The gravity of
t h e state’s responsibility should call
forth the most earnest and patriotic ef-
fort on the part of the gem rai assembly
to relieve it of all embarrassment and to
make an equitable eoiution of the p-ob-
lem thot confronts it." Governor Bu-
chanau says the prison question^The
most important and thf-t urgent question of
state government confronts the legis-
lature. Ho reiterates the suggestions
ma(Je him to the extra session of the
preceding general assembly concerning
this matter. Speaking of the present
status of prbon affairs, he says:
“The branch prisons at Tracy City and
Inman are guarded by the regular convict
guard without military force. Oliver
Springs and Coal Creek are protected by
special military companies enlisted for this aud
purpose for a year’s service,
under , present . conditions .... it . is necessary
to ™intam «t these places.”
NEED A PENITENTIARY.
He says ihe state’s greatest need is a
penitentiary of sufficient size to accom-
modate all of its prisoners, aud he urges
the necessity for taking immediate steps
toward the erection of a new prison. The
governor says that if the penitentiary be
located on a farm of sufficient size to
main-aiu the prisoners, he can see norea-
son why it cannot be m ide self sustain-
iug on the state account plan. Another
plan of employment which seems to him
altogether feasible is for the state to pu r-
cbase or lease coal and iron lauds adj i-
cent and employ the convicts m mining

are as follows:

the ultimate payment of which the state
looks to the lessees, $14,016.81. Ou ac¬
count of the military iu the field, sala¬

His Essay on Columbus.
“In these Columbian times,’' said a
well-known Missouri statesman, “I can¬
not avoid recalling a 6tory published in
a London newspaper some twenty years
ago, Midlands. as having come from a school in the
The master told the boys of
the third class to write short essays on
Columbus. When the essays were called
for, one ambitious young man handed up
a which document, as near as I can recall it,
read like this:
“Columbus was a mau who could
make an egg stand on end without
breaking Columbus: it. The king of Spain said to
‘Can you discover America?”
‘It es,’said Columbus, ‘if you wiil give
me a ship.’ So he had a ship and sailed
over the sea in the direction where he
thought America ought to be found. Tire
sailors quarrelled and said they believed
there was no such place, but after many
days the pilot called to him and said:
‘Columbus, I see land.* *TheD, that is
America,” said Columbus, When the
ship got near, the land was full of black
men. Columbus said : ‘Is this America?”
‘Ye8,’it is, said they. ‘I suppose you are
the niggers?’ ‘Yes,’ they said; ‘we are;’
and the chief said: ‘I suppose you are
Columbus?” ‘You’re rigtrt, said he.
Then the chief turned to his men aud
said: “There is no help for it; we are
discovered at last.’ ”—St. Louis Repub-
lie.

Let’t turn into this side street until she

Husband—“Quarreled with her?”
Wife—“No, but I don’t want you to see

Husband—“Hum! Why not?”
Wife—“I know you’ll admire that new
dress of hers, and it wiil only worry you
to think what a ridiculous k fuss you made
over the bills for this cheap thing I've
got on.”—New York Weekly.
A Teader Heart.
Little Johnny—“I guess I’ll get rid
of that dog I found. He’s too much of
a fighter. He’s always hurtin’ other

Woman is a man's incentive to go for¬ i
ward—the tempting bait and the merci¬ j

worth all the other bones of his body put j
together,
Woman is the stringing ®f a fitful harp,
played by the wind-man is the golden
framework.
Woman is the index of tbe family book:
from her you can judge of the chapters
and the illustrations.
Woman the through i which , . ,

Bill Nyc, the philosopher, ’ speaking 1 & of

down Satan, says: “When they know
the great adversary of s >u‘s 39 well as I
do, they will not try to scare him with a
cross-eyed woman or dr ve him and his
host by bea'ing a tambourine, and the—
landlord. Humanity charity, soft soap,

misguided men and bleating women who
seek to harass the host of hell with a
bass drum, while their own children,
with empty stomachs aud unlaundeied
noses. weep at homo.”

Actual tests show the Royal Bakin#
Powder to be 27 per cent, stronger than
any other brand on the market. If an«
other baking powder is forced upon you
by the grocer, see that you are charged
the correspondingly lower price.
Those baking powders sold with a gift,
or advertised or sold at “half the cost of
RoA'al,” are invariably made from alum, and
are dangerous to health.
Every can of Royal Baking Powder contains a ticket giving directions
how to obtain, free, a copy of The Royal Baker and Pastry Cook, contain¬
ing zoco of the best and most practical cooking receipts published.

“August Flower”
“ I am Post Master here and keep
a Store. I have kept August Flower
for sale for some time. I think it is
a splendid medicine.’’ E. A. Bond,
P. M., Pavilion Centre, N. Y.
The stomach is the reservoir.
If it fails, everything fails. The
liver, the kidneys, the lungs, the
heart, the head, the blood, the nerves
all go wrong. If you feel wrong,
look to the stomach first. Put that
right at once by using August
Flower. It assures a good appetite
and a good digestion.
