mittee on the Y'ellowstoue park investi
gation. It was ordered printed anil went
over until next sessions Mr. Price, from
the committee on commerce, called up
the senate bill to fix the compensation of
keepers and crews of life saving stations.
Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri, spoke iu sup -
port of the measure. “It would,” he ex
plained, “increase the salary of keepers
from S7OO to S9OO and of members of
crews from SSO to $65 per month while

involve an annual expenditure of $283,-
000. The bill was passed—yeas, 147;

senate bill for the establishment, of addi
tional aid to navigation iu Tampa Biy,

York, from the same. committee

Thursday. —The regular order in the
house was the motion of Mr. Warner to
lay on the table the bill called up bv Mr.
Hatch, to provide a uniform standard
classification and grading of wheat, corn,
oats, barley and rye. Opponents of the
measure refrained from voting, thus
breaking a quorum—the vote bv letters
being announced 7 to 121. The hour
accorded the committee of agriculture
navmg expired, the bill resumed its
place on the calendar. Mr. Blount
from the committee on foreign affiirs
called up the bill to enforce recipro
cal commercial relations between the
United States and Canada. The bill was
passed without division. Also the bill
granting to the Pensacola Terminal com
pany the right of way through the naval
reservation at Pensacola. Mr. Styers pre
sented the disagreeing conference report
on the general deficiency appropriation
hill. The main amendments now in dis
pute are those relative to the Indian dep
redation claims. French spoliation claims

on which no agreement was reached
went over for discussion and action until

son, of North Carolina, called up the bill
authorizing the postmaster general to

amount thereof. On ordering the pre
vious question no quorum voted, the vote,
standing yeas 151, nays 7, and the house
adjourned.
Friday. —The house,immediately after
meeting Friday morning, proceeded with
the regular order, which was the call of
committees. The time allowed the post
office committee having expired, with
out action on any measure, the commit
tee on public lands called up a few bills
of little general interest and none of
them succeeded in passing, the filibuster
ing being so strong. Mr. Sayers then
called up the senate amendments to the
general deficiency bill, which have not
yet been agreed upon. One hour was
granted to debite ou the subject of In
dian depredations claim*, one hour for
French spoliation claims, one hour for
the amendment paying the widows or
legal representatives of deceased mem
bers of congress, half hour for Pacific
railroad claims and ten minutes
for the item relative to the
salary of the assistant attorney
general in charge of the Indiau depreda
tion claims. The amendments relative to
the claim of the Pacific railroads and for
the payment of the assistant attorney
general were non-concurred iD. An
amendment was adop'ed to the senate
paragraph relating to the paymeut to
widows of deceased representatives. The
amendment specifi-s the persons to whom
the various amounts may be paid, and
provides that the legal representatives
shall be paid the balance of the salary to
which the member would have been en
titled, deducting mileage. The next
amendment relates to the French spolix
tion claim amendment, but before the
hou-e had dispose 1 of it the hour of 5
o’clock arrived, and a recess was taken
until 8 o’clock, the evening session to be
for the consideration of priva'e pension
bills.
Saturday. - The house resumed con
sideration of the senate amendment to the
general deficiency appropriation bill. The
pending amendment was that relative to
the French spoliation claims. It was
non-concurred in.
Monday. —ln the house, Monday, Mr.
Wheeler, of Michigan, r ailed up as spe
cial order the report of the committee
investigating the workings of the pen
sion office. Mr. Little, of New York,
took the door in advocacy of the majori
ty resolution, which give it as the judg
ment of the house that the president
should remove ltaum. He be ieved that
the present administration of the pension
bureau Was unfortunately one of the few
dark pages that had occurred in connec
tion with departmental management. He
in Ik vi cl .i iu i,e a political aud moral
crime to permit such management to
coutinua. Mr. Lind, of Minnesota
in apposing the resolution, turned
his attention chiefly to repre
sentative Cooper, of Indiana, and the
part Mr. Cooper bore in the investiga
tion. Mr. Knloe, one of the authors of
the investigation resolution, spoke in fa
vor of the report. The debate was in
terrupted at this time by Mr. Sayers,
who submitted the disagreeing report on
the general deficiency appropriation bill,
and the report was agreed to. Mr. Hol
man then move! that the house recede
from its amendment granting to widows,
or legal representatives of deceased mem
ber’, the balance of the salary which
such members would have received.
No action was taken and the house ad
journed.
THE SENATE.
Wednesday. —The first two hours of
the senate, Wednesday, were occupied in
discussion of the Dill to permit the Pa
gallop Ind ans in the state of Washing
ton to a ien a portion of their l mds in
the neighborhood of Tacom i. The mat
ter was still under discussion when, at 2
o’clock, the anti-option bill came up as
unfinished business. Mr. Vest assailed
the measure as au undue stretch of the
cons: itution, as an attemp' on the part
of congress to exercise police powers
within the states and as a delusion
to farmers, whose interest he said
it was masking. He declared it to
be one of the most pernicious measures
that had come before congress during
fourteen years of bis service. Mr. Vest,
in the course of further remarks, de
nounced the bill as a “bold, wicked,
legislative bighwaymau, booted and
spurred.” Otder senators might find
that they could, under some sort of ex
cuse, vote f r such a bill, but he was
unable to do n It could nqt be
amended, because it was vicious in prin
ciple. It was an attempt to
meet the popular demand, but that, de
mand was, in his judgment, not bused on
the real condition of affdis. Mr. Wash
burn defended the bill from some of Mr.
Vist’s thrusts; and, as several other sen •
ators took part in the discussion, inter
est in the measure was well maintained
for over three h urs Mr. Daniel had the
floor, and was arguing ugainst it on some
what the same lines as Mr. Vest had
done, when the hour of adjournment
came. lie gave notice that he would
move to strike out sections 12 and 13.
The bill was laid aside without action.
A conference was orde e l on the defi
ciency bill, and Messrs. Hale, Allison and
Cockrell weie appointed conferees on the
part of the senate. After a short execu
tive session, the senate, at s:3oo’c'ock
adjourned.
Thursday —ln the senate, the dis
agreeing conference report on the defi
ciency app'opriation bill was presented,
agreed to and a new conference asked.
House amendments to the senate bill for
the establishment of additional aids to
navigation at Terapa, Fls., were dis
agreed to and a conference was asked.
Mr Carey, from the committee on terri
tories, reported back the house bill for
the admission of New Mexico as a state
aud said that he w< uld not call it up
until next session. 'The anti-option hill
was taken up aud Mr. Washburn, in
cherge of it. moved to strike out section
12, which he said he had never regarded
as essentia!. It required every tuau
who possessed property which he
sold and who dealt in futures to take out
a licerse and keep a record. No action
wis taken on the amendment, and Mr.
Daniel proceeded with his argument
against the bill, which he had begun
Wednesday. Mr. White, of Louisiana,
next addressed the senntc in opposition
the anti-option bill. Mr. White’s
speech was a passionate and ener
getic arraignmem of the bill as a usurp
ation of state’s rights, as detrimental
to the interests of the producers of the
country. Mr. White did i.ot conclude
liis speech, but the bill went over to Fri
day. The house bill to enforce reciprocal
commercial relations with Canada was
laid before the senate and was placed on
the calendar. The bills were passed
granting pensions to survivors of the
Indian war of 1882 to 1842, inclusive.
The senate amendments to this bill were
all withdrawn. The bill to provide for
the improvement of the outer bar of
Brunswick, Gi,, passed. The senate then
adjourned after a brief execu'ive session.
Friday. —The resolutions offered
Thursday by Mr. Peffer, in the senate,
instructing the judiciary committee to
ir,quire into the relations of employes
and employers, was taken up Friday
M< rning and Mr. Peffer addressed the
senate in its support. Mr. Peffer argued
there was but three ways to meet labor
troubles. One was for the government
to keep its bands off and let employers
and employes settle the matter between
themselves; the second was for the gov
ernment to establish and regulate the
rate of wages; the third was that the
government take possession of private
manufacturing establishments and con
duct them us public institutions. Mr.
Pi tier’s preference was for the first
named method. At the close of his re
marks, the resolution wa9 leferred to the
c mmittee on education and labor. The
res ilution heretofore offered by Mr.
Voorhees, looking to the establishment
of a tribunal of arbitration in labor ques
tions, was then taken up and Mr. Call
addressed the senate in support of it.
He a-gued that the employment of the
Pinkerton detective force was a violation
of law, and of the constitution, and that
any man should be indicted for raising
tro ips at h:s own sweet will and pleasure
w.thout ibe sanction of the courts or of
the authorities of the country. No action
was taken on the resolution which went
back to the table. The anti option bill
was then taken up at 2:15 o’clock and
Mr. White resumed his argument begun
Thursday in opposition to it. There was,
Mr. White said, a concensus of opinion
on the part of the great commercial bod
ies of the country against the measure.
In proof of this he sent to the clerk’s
d> sk and hail read resolutions of the
Chamber of Commerce of the stutc
of New York, protesting against it
as injurious to the best interests of the
community. He also sent up and had
read protests of bankers of New York,
Chicago and New Orleans against the
bill. He also sent up and had read a list
of other bodies that had sent memorials
to congress against thb bill. That list
comprised New York, New drleatis, Sa
vannah, Houston, Mobile, Greenville and
Memphis cotton exchanges, Milwaukee
chamber of commerce, Chicago board of
trade, New York produce exchange,
New Orleans board of trade, New Orleans
dealing house association, bankers, mill
ers and merchants of Toledo, Ohio; Bal
timore corn Bnd flour exchange) Chicago
merchants and m mufacturerS) and Min
neapolis clearing house association, btlsi
, ness uuion and chamber of commerce,
j Wero these great associations, he asked,
1 mere bodies of degraded and aoaudoue l
gambleis? And yet that whs the inevit
able outcome of arguments in support of
the bill. Mr. White spoke for nearly
three hours and when he closed the bid
went over without action till Saturday.
Mr. Divis asked and obtained unanimous
consent to have taken up for immediate
action the house hill to enforce reciprocal
commercial arrangements between the
United States and Cauadu. It was tiken
up, read nnd passed without auv explana
tion and without division. (It is the
Canada canal tolls retaliation bill ) The
house bill to pay t.e state of South Caro
lina money to w hich she is entitled under
the agricultural college bill, was reported
a d passed. The senate then adjourned.
Saturday. —ln the senate, Saturday,
Mr. Morgan introduced a bill to
provide for the control of the Uuion
ami Central Pacific railroad com
panies until their debts to the govern
ment be fully paid up or secured. It
was referred to a select committee on Pa
cific railroads. The house bill granting
right of way to the Pensacola Terminal
company through lands of the naval res
ervation near Pensacola, was granted.
Monday. —ln the senate, Monday, Mr.
Vest introduced a joint resolution author
izing the pr.si lent to proffer to Great
Britain, Germany and Franco as an in
ducement to enter into an international
agreement for the free coinage of silver,
a reduction of 25 per cent in tariff duties
on textiles, hardware, earthenware and
glass. Laid on the table. The anti
options bill was then taken up. Mr.
George addre-sed the seuate. At
2 o’clock Mr. George yielded
the floor temporarily at the re
quest of Mr. Allison, who presented tho
conference report on the sundry civil ap
propiiation bill. The report, although
referring to amendments of the bill by
numbers, covered many pages of type
written paper, and its reading occupied
twenty-five minutes. Mr Allison made
an explanation at the conference report,
stating that, outside of the provisions
about the world’s fair, there wus but one
other matter left open, the provision in
serted by tho house, prohibiting the em
ployment of Pinkerton detec'ivcs. He
went somewhat into detail upon other
poiuts, on which the senatd conferees had
surrendi red. The report was agreed to,
and n furihe-r couference was asked as to
the points on wdiich there had been no
agre ment. The senate voted to
insist on its amendments agreed
to by the house, and- asked
for a further conference, and then, at 3
o’clock p. m., the si nate w ent into execu
tve Be sion. After the doors were re
opened and some unimportant business
had been transacted, Mr. Georgo resumed
tlie floor, and held it until 5: JO o’clock,
his speech beiDg an argument in favor of
his own substitute for the anti-optio i
bill. After a short executive se sion, the
Semite, at 5:55 o’clock, adjourned.
NOTES.
'I he world’s fair people have done
some good work in the house within the
last few days, and the indications are
that when the $5,000,000 appropriation
is voted on again they will have a ma
jority of the house.
Thu senate, on Friday, confirmed the
nomination of Ministers White io Russia,
Snowden to Spain and Beale to Greece,
Roumania ami Servia, all nominated
Thursday. Cyrus W. Field, son of the re
cently deceased t yrus W. Field, who
was nominated consul to Brunswick,
Germany, was also confirmed.
The World’s Fair Bill.
Congress will not adjourn on the date
fixed bv resolution of the house. The
conference committee on the sundry civil
bill announced on Friday that they
would ba unable to report till Monday.
The senate added $10,000,000 to the bill
os it passed the house, including the
$5,000,000 for the world’s fair, and, of
course, there has been much work for the
conference committee. When made, the
report will have to be printed, and it is
not probable that the world’s fair amend
ment can be voted upon again before
Wednesday. Should it be again voted
down in the house, adjournment can be
had by Monday week, but in the event
the world’s fair people have the voles
they claim now, then the opponents of
the appropriali «n will commence fili
bustering, which might la-t several
weeks.
Frsxress on tbe .Sundry Civil Bill.
The committee of conference on the
sundry civil appropriation bill made un
expectedly rapid progress Saturday, nnd
succeeded in adjusting the points of dif
ference between tbe two houses, except
in regard to the world’s fair appropria
tion of $5,000,000. They will report a
total disagreement on that amendment.
The other senate amendments (some 300
in number), which were non-concurred in
by the house, provide for an addition to
the bill of about six million dollars, dis
tributed through almost all branches of the
service which it covers. The senate con
ferees agree to recommend th it the senate
abandon about four million dollars of
this amount, and the house conferees rec
ommend that the house agree to grant
the remaining two mil’ion. The con
ferees have stricken from the bill all the
new legislation inserted by the house in
regard to district attorneys and marshals.
The managers on the part of the house
consent to the senate increase of the ap
propriation for survey public land from
$290,000 to $375,000, and van
ous other larger amendments are
agreed to or compromised, so as
to fix the amounts as follows: For the
international momentary conference,
$80,000; for the enforcement of tbe
Chii ese exclusion act, $100,000; for the
spicial fund tube placed in the hands ot
tho president for use in case of need to
prevent ths spread of epidemic diseases,
sloo,(Jud. Among tho senate amend
ments wholly stricken out are those ap
propriating SIO,OOO each for tile widows
of three supreme court justices.
CLfcVE AND STEVE
.Votlfled of their Nomination—Orxxt
Gathering at Madison Square Gordon.
Grover Cleveland anil Adlni Stevenson
have been officially notified that they ar#
the choice of thu democracy of this
great country to lead the party to victory
or defeat.
The notification took place Wednes
day flight at Madison square Garden,
Now York City, In tho presence of a
crowd of people that surpa sed iu enthu
siasm and memb ’rs even the vast throng
that, on September 6, 1888, at the same
place gave greeting to Allen G. Thurman,
The great amphitheater of Madisou
Square garden was crowded as it never
had been before nnd a thousand and odd
eectfic lights twinkled in wonder as
they looked down from their lofty
perches upon tho s a of heads and at the
gesticulations of speakers.
A STRUGGLING MASS.
Madison avenue, Twontv-aixth to
Twenty seventh streets nnd Fourth ave
nue were crowded as early as 0 o’clock,
ft was a smuggling mass of humanity
pushed like waves against a pile of rocks,
iu this instance being burly policemen
who showed no favors, took no back
talk, simply pushing people back until
the management s»w fit t open tbe por
>ala of the great bad. When the doors
were opened the people overrode the
police, clubs and nil. They made one
frantic rush for seals, and in the remark
ably short space of ten minutes all the
room in tbe building that remained va
cant was the reserved seats on the plat
form and the boxes,
THE CANDIDATES APPEAR.
Mr. btevenson was the first to appear,
but Mr. Cleveland soon followed. After
waiting soma time for an opportunity to
be heard aud ’or the uproar of applause
to subside, Mr. Cleveland arose and Mr.
Wilson notified him iu a speech of ten
minutes duration that he had beeu nomi
nated for the presidency. Owing to the
great din that prevailed it was with diffi
culty that Mr. Wilson’s voice could be
heard.
READING THB OFFICIAL LETTER.
Secretary Nicholas Bell, of the notifi
cation committee then read the official
letter of notification. Mr. Cleveland then
arose to reply and again pandemonium
reigned. II is voice could not be heard
ten feet from the platform. The people
weie«ot aware that he had begun and
when it gradually dawned upon them
that they weru losing the best part of tho
speech they quieted down ■nd the tones
of the ox-president were heard in every
part of the house. He was listened to
attentively and interrupted but seldom.
It was 9:10 o’clock when the cx-presi
dent finished. He closed amid cheers
and cries of “four—four—four years
more.
NOTIFYING MR STEVENSON.
The next speaker, ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor. Steven M. White, of California,
had more success wiih his speech, notify
ing General Stevenson of his nomination,
than did Mr. Wilson in bis effort. Mr.
White’s voice was most powerful. He
quelled the disturbance by its very loud
ness.
GsncrAl StevcDSOu exhibited some signs
of nervousness as he stepped forward to
respond, but quickly recovered his com
posure and gazed calmly on tho crowd ai
it cheered. If General Stevenson had any
doubts iu his mind as to the enthusiasm
of a New York audiencu they were com
pletely effaced by the reception he got.
Ho delivered his speech with effect, and
at its conclusion received tremendous
applauso.
At the conclusion of General Steven
ron’s speech the meeting was adjourned.

that the seating rapacity of Madison
Square garden is in the neighborhood of
tight thousand, and that between twenty
and thirty thousand were there ossem
bled.
