JN CONGRESSIONAL HALLS. Daily Rootine ol Eott Houses ol tbe Fifty-Second Confress. Mcaanres Discussed and Bills Passed By Our National Law-Makers. THE SENATE. In the senate, Thursday, Senator Wol¬ cott gave notice of the amendment to the Sherman silver purchase repeal bill. The amendment requires the coinage of all silver bullion now in the treasury or hereafter to be purchased. The of speech Kansas) began by Pfeffer continued (populist, last Monday and Tuesday was finished by him, the matter is now before the senate. It is in sup¬ port of the constitutional amendment to limit the presidential office to one term. The senate adjourned Friday out of re¬ spect to the memory of ex-President Hayes, whose funeral occurred on that day. House amendments to the senate bill authorizing tbe construction of a bridge across tbe Mississippi river, at New Or¬ leans, was presented to the senate Satur¬ day and concurred in. The bill now goes to the president. Numerous peti¬ tions on the subject of opening the world’s fair on Sunday were presented. Mr. Walcott called up the joint resolution, introduced by him some days ago, direct¬ ing a discontinuance of the sale of the Columbian postage stamp, and made one of his brief, breezy .speeches ou tbe subject. He was at a loss to understand, he said, why those stamps had ever been manufactured. lie noticed that the postmaster general suggested in his an¬ nual report, that he expected to receive $1,500,000 extra profits out of tbeir sale to stamp collectors. Since the resolution was introduced he had from many sources letters showing good reasons why it should be passed. Railroad clerks com¬ plained that the one cent Colum¬ bian stamp was so much like tbe regis¬ tration stamp that constant mistakes were dicing made by them, lie hoped that the poEtoffice commit’ee would take speedy action in the matter. The resolution was referred to the postoffice committe. At 1 o’clock the senate went into executive session. At 2:30 o’clock the doors were re-opened. r Ilie credentials of Mr. Tur- pic for his second senatorial term, begin¬ ning March 4th n< xt, were presented and placed on file. The auti-optiou bill was then takeu up, the question being on Mr. Vilas’amendment to Mr. George’s substi¬ tute. The bill was discussed for ar. hour and then went over without action until Monday. The senate, at 12.40 o’clock, Monday, by unanimous consent, proceeded to the consideration of the anti-option bill, the question being on the amendment offered by Mr. Vilas to Mr. George’s substitute. Mr. George continued his speech began last Saturday. Ho spoke for exactly one hour, and when he took his seat a propo¬ sition was made by Mr. Washburn to have the vote taken Thursday next. This was objected to by Mr. White, who said that the seuators from New York and Delaware, Hill and Gray, desired to address tbo senate and were not present, and he suggested Tuesday of next week as the time for taking the vote. Af¬ ed ter some coloquy Mr. Washburn consent¬ to Mr. White’s proposition and the ar¬ rangement was fiually mode that at 1 o’clock Tuesday of next week the vot** shall be taken on Mr. George’s substi¬ tute, and not later than 2 o’clock on tho bill itself. Mr. Chandler expressed a willingne^ to have the vote taken at once on the auti-option bill aud sooke another hour on the subject. The anti-option bill went over without action and the Cherokee outlet bill, which had come over from the house, was taken up for consideration. The amendments of¬ fered by Berry providing for the appoint¬ ment of a commission for the extinguish¬ ment of the national or tribal title to lauds in Indian Territory, was agreed to and the bill went over without further action to be before the senato when the auti-option bill is not. The senate then, at 5:15 o’clock, went into executive ses¬ sion and soon afterward adjourned. THE HOUSE. Iu tbo house, Thursday, objection was made to the consideration of the New York aud New Jersey bridge bill, and the house engaged iu the consideration of miscellaneous business of no public importance. In the house, Friday, the general defi¬ ciency appropriation bill reported from committee on appropriations by Mr. Say¬ ers, democrat, of Texas, was placed ou the calendar. Mr. Dutnphy, democrat of New York, asked consent for the con¬ sideration of the joint resolution author¬ izing the postmaster general to obtain additional premise* iu New York city for the accommodation of the postoffice, but Mr. Watson, populist of Georgia, came forward as an objector.and consent was not given. De Armond, from the committee on election of president aud vice president, reported revised a bill to repeal a section of the statutes con¬ cerning supervisors of elections. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Outh- waite then rose and addressed the chair. Iiis object was to offer reso- olutionsof respect to the memory of ex- Prcsident Hayes. Before the resolutions could be read Mr. Belt/.hoover, rising to a privileged proceed motion, the moved considt ration that the of house to business on the private calendar. But tbe members of the house, knowing the purport of tbe committee’s resolution, voted down Mr. Bvltzhoover's motion and Mr. Outhwaite's resolution was read a« follows: ”R solved, That this house, on this day of the funeral of tiie late Rutherford B. Hayes, formerly chi f magistrate of the United States, as a fur¬ ther mark of respect to his memory, do now adjournThe resolution was- adopted aud accordingly the house ad¬ journed. Iu the liou*o. Saturday. Mr. Outhwaite called up the senate bill for marking the Hues of battle at Gettysburg, Several amendments were recommended by the committee ou military ; flairs and these gave the opponents of the measure an opportunity to filibuster against it. Fil¬ ibustering was confined to the Texas del tgatioq, but it was successful, and the morning hour expired without final ac¬ tion on the bill. Mr. Blount reported the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill and it was placctb on the calendar. Theu the floor was accorded to the com mitteeon commerce and the national quarantine bill was called up. Home con- stitutional objections were raised against tbe measure, but outside of a speech by Mr Rayner. of Maryland, and a few re¬ marks made by Messrs. Cockraa and the Lodge, bill. little interest was manifested in the house Throughout the confusion in was very great and its culmi¬ nation whs reached when an amendment was offered, the reading of which could not be beard feu feet from tbe clerk s dtsU. To this fact Mr. Dickeison called fie added tint t •<* W\iS an important 011 c and should not be acted upon in a scene of such utter inattention, He. therefore, moved that the committee ':xrn "i tar jns o’clock tcok a recess until 11 o’clock Monday. The house Mondny morniDg continued the consideration of the quarantine bill and adopted the amendment by Mr. Warner (democrat from New York.) ex- tending the quarantine to land bounda- ries. The amendment prohibiting inter- fercnce with migration between the states, was rejected. The amendment offered by Mr. Brosius (republican from Pennsylvania), tine giving national quaran- supremacy in cases where it exists at the Bame place with state quarantine, was rejected. The bill was then reported to the house from the committee of the whole, L h riiamc h 0 U,v 0 . U «“ k fr« d Tverl° member drew the knot the firmer. The bill as reported from the committee of the whole was a substitute for the original bill introduced by Mr. IUyner, and as such the substitute was reported as one amendment, although it had itself re- SoneV ceiytd several amendments. I he com- P \,, Va sta“us r iL of but r firm in hi, decision that there was hut one amend ment—-the substitute_pending ordered°on The previous question was the substitute reported by the committee of the whole—139 to 29—and the substitute was final agreed to. Then came the vote the passage of the bill. On a divi- si ui the vote stood 111 to 49. Mr. Mai- lory raised the point of quorum, but on a vote by tellers, the vote stood 138 to 29, and the bill passed. No effort was made to secure yeas and nays. Mr. Wise, of Virginia, then called up the New York and New Jersey bridge bill, but filibustering against it was so strong that it was withdrawn. The house then, in committee of the whole, proceeded tc the consideration of the sundry civil ap¬ propriation bill. The committee, after disposing of about half the bill, rose, and tbe house, at 5:15 oclock adjourned. CAPITAL GOSSIP. Mr. Euloe, Tennessee, is thirsting for the scalp of Pension Commissioner Raum. He will make a speech reviewing the evidence in the case and insist that the house pass a resolution of censure. The president, on Thursday, sent to the senate the following nominations: Elijah W. Halford, of Indiana, to be paymas¬ ter, with the rank of major. Postmas¬ ters: Leroy L. Brinkley, of Edenton, N. C.; Seth W. Collins, McCombs, Miss. Sirs. Potter Palmer has suggested that congress give to the woman’s work of the fair $10,000 in souvenir coins, made in twenty-fivc-cent pieces, with a picturo of Queen Isabella on one side and the woman’s building on the other. She thinks these coins would sell for many times their value. The committee were favorable to her suggestion. Representative Fellows, of New York, has introduced a red hot resolution call¬ ing for an investigation of the American end of the Fanarna canal trouble. Two and a half million dollars is said to have been spent in securing tbe acquiescence of the United States in the canal proj¬ ect. The chief purpose of the investiga¬ tion is to ascertain who got it. The nomination of Louis McComas, of Maryland, to be judge for the District of Columbia, was called up Saturday in ex¬ ecutive session, but final action was not taken. The senate was in secret session a little more than an hour, during which time a couple of United States consuls and two postmasters were confirmed. When the nomination of McComas was called up a rather stormy time ensued, as much opposition to his confirmation de¬ veloped. The house committee ou banking aud currency, Friday, instructed Mr. Bacon, -of New York, to ask the committee on -rules for a special order giving one or ttwo days if necessary’, for the consideral tion of the Andrew Cate banking and Sherman repeal bill. No day was named. The vote on asking for a day stood 8 to 6, one member favorable to the proposi¬ tion being absent. The negative vote indicates the purpose of the minority to contest even the consideration of the bill. The petition clerk of the house docu¬ ment room is literally swamped with many thousands of petitions from all sections of the legislation country, praying that congress enact for opening tbe world’s fair on Sunday. The Con¬ gressional Record of Monday contained thirteen columns of titles of such peti¬ tions sent in by societies, associations and individuals, all of which have been referred to tbe Columbian exposition committee, of which Mr. Durborrow, of Illinois, is chairman. Tuesday there were about 10,000 to be recorded, and the associates of the petition clerk arc assisting him in his labors. IHoney for Public Builtliuits. In response to the house resolution calling for information as to what public buildings, appropriated preceding for by this con¬ gress and congresses, having been in part or in whole contracted for, and what other buildings have been ap¬ propriated for without any time steps being taken up to the present to carry the law into effect by awarding contracts,some rather startling figures are supplied by the tre agury department. Contracts have been entered into for partial work or for the completion of public and buildings to the amount of two a quarter million dollars. Providing for Fen*ious.

A Lake Erie and Western passenger train went through a bridge spanning the Wabash river at Peru at an early hour Friday morning. So far as can be learn¬ ed no one was killed outright, but every passenger on tbe train was more or less injured. One has since died, and three others are not expected to live. One of the end spans of the immense bridge went down, carrying the train with it. Fire immediately broke out, and in less than an hour the entire tram was burned.

There was about forty-live feet of water in the pine at the time of the collapse, which went rushing down the mountain side with terrific force. No lives were lost. The loss to the city is about $12,000. A Richmond, Va., special of Saturday says: William F. Wickham, of the First Virginia regiment of cavalry, has re¬ ceived a letter from General McMahon, of New York, declining to give the regi¬ ment the [lost of honor at the inaugural ceremonies of President-elect Cleveland. He says it is customary to grant that post to the Washington military, aud this course will be pursue! in March. 'Wick¬ ham's regiment will not go to Washing¬ ton.’ Seven tons of powder exploded Sunday afternoon in the large mills of the Kel¬ logg powder works near Huntington, W. Va., wrecking the plant and shaking up the city fearfully. Fortunately, no one was hurt, the employes having gone to dinner. This is the sixth explosion in less than two years. Ou the 18th of Jan ¬ uary, 1892, seven men were killed and a great many wounded at an explosion at these works, A suit has been in court some time to compel their removal. Dam¬ ages, $10,000. A Louisville, Ivy., special says: John G. Carlisle has sent in his resignation as United States senator from Kentucky to Governor Brown. A later telegram s’ates that Governor Brown has with- drawn from the senatorial race to succeed Carlisle. This leaves the tight to Con¬ gressman W. J. Stone, and James B. McCreary, and Judge William Lindsay, Kentucky’s world’s fair commissioner. Carlisle’s resignation was received by Governor Brown Thursday night, and the fight promises to be a lively one. MORE OF THE RYAN CASE. Prosecuting Attorneys Dou’t Want the Matter Submitted to Jury. The ait >rneys for the receiver in the Ryau case have appealed from ihc de¬ cision of Judge Marshall Clarke submit¬ ting the matter to a jury, and the case will now be passed upon by the supreme court of the state of Georgia. If the act¬ ion of that tribunal is unfavorable to Ryan, his bond of $100,000 will be an¬ nulled and lie will be remanded to jail, the ca«c in all its di tails going back to the findings of the auditor and the de¬ cision of Judge Clarke thereupon. The appeal in the case was filed in the office of the clerk of the court in Atlanta Sat¬ urday afternoou, and is a lengthy doc- ument. The grounds upon which the appeal is taken are briefly as fol¬ lows: A petition aud a motion by Ilyaa upon a motion to dismiss by the receiver should have been dismissed and denied by the court. Because the granting of a jury trial under tbe act of the last legislature was illegal in this case, as Ryan had already been adjuged in contempt. The matter which was being considered at the time the new law was passed was sim\)lv in a further detention of tbe prisoner ac¬ cordance with the special directions of the supreme court.

WHAT DUN SAYS. Dun’s review says: The volume of do¬ mestic trade continues larger than last year, but exports arc decidedly smaller from New York; in three weeks of Jan¬ uary $8,592,861 below tdc same weeks last year. As imports are meanwhile very heavy for two weeks of January, $3,919,130 more than last year, the pros¬ pects of further gold exports causes no surprise. f i here is much hesdtatiou re¬ garding the action of congress on vari¬ ous measures and the uncertainty silver purchases. The repeal of the anti-option bill and the defeat the interstate commerce act tbe markets and trade to some extent. There is also a somewhat general crease in complaints about collections, al¬ though money at nearly all markets comparatively easy and in supply quate for legitimate demands, fidence regarding the future of is in all parts of the country strong and general, especially in view the interest taken in pending measures congress.

The tribe only numbers some 1,500 souls, and it has to its credit iu the United States treasury the sum of $8 - 500,000 in cold cash, besides 1,400,000 acres of choice land, worth, at" the least computation. $5 an acre. Light hun¬ dred thousand dollars of the money iu the treasury is interest fuud, and the nn tional council of the tribe wants Uncle Sam to shell it out, that they may be able to pay their debts.

Savage, the celebrated Bos¬ ton divine, pieaches extemporaneously, presented but his thoughts are so well that the stenographers’ reports rarely re¬ quire any editing for publication in book form. The Farmer and the Grocer. A grocer would not pay a farmer the price of a ten- pound turkey for one that weighed but seven pounds. Why should a farmer pay a grocer the price of the Royal Baking Powder for a baking powder with 27 per cent, less leavening strength ? The Royal Baking Powder is proven by actual tests to be 27 per cent, stronger than any other brand on the market. Better not buy the others, for they mostly contain alum, lime and sulphuric acid; but if they are forced upon you, see that you are charged a correspon¬ dingly lower price for them.
