liy Mr. Townshond, of Illinois —Besolu
tion calling for executive information. The

"That the Secretary of the Treasury be
reqnested to ascertain whether any national
banking association located in the city of
New York has, during the present month,
loaned its surplus money or deposits to
brokers or other persons operating in stocks
or bonds without secniity and merely upon
the receipt ef interest on the same, for the
purpose of enabling speculators to
lock up and prevent the use
of money in business transactions
and thereby produce a scarcity of money
and greatly increase the ratcH of interest on
loans; and also whether during the samo
period any of said banks, for tho purpose
aforesaid, knowingly permitted the total li
ability of any person, corporation or firm to
exceed the amount limited by statute in
said cases, and that said Secretary report
all tho facts to this llouso os soon as prac
ticable, with each recommendations as he
may deem proper."

House, with the concurrence of the gentle
man from New York, Mr. Hiscock, had de
cided not to have any reveuue legislation,
neither to increase nor diminish tho reve
nue, and, indeed, not to consider tho
question. He hud been in hopes that, obe
dient to tho will of tho Honse, tho gentle
man would have withdrawn this proposi
tion to increase a tax already enormously
high.
Mr. Hiscock’s motion was lost—yeas 90,
nays 1(55.
Tho Democrats who voted with tho body
of the Republicans in the affirmative were

Mr, Forney, of Alabama, on behalf of
the committee on militia, moved to suspend
the rules and pass the Senate bill amending
the statutes making an auuuai appropria
tion to provide arms and equipments for
the militia, with an amendment proposed
by the Honse committee, making the annu
al appropriation $11,0,000. Agreed to; yeas
198, nays 49.
Alt. Townshend, of Illinois, on behalf of
the committee on patents, moved to sus
pend the rules and pass the bill limiting
the jurisdiction of the United States Courts
in patent cases, and to protect persons
who, without notice^ are bo-
flue manufacturers, purchasers,
venders und u->ers of patented ani.les. The
bill limits the jurisdiction of United States
Courts in patent oases to cases wherein the
amount in controversy does not exceed $200
against one person or citizen. Section 2
provides that purchasers of any patent
light for actual use shall not be liable to
damages, royalty or for tho value of the
same, or for infringing the same in any
manner, who at the date of such pur
chase had no knowledge of the claims
of aoy third person, or that the inventor
of the same has an interest therein adverse
to the seller thereof; that no ptrson who
shall in good faith purchase, nse, manufac
ture or Bell, without previous knowledge of
the existence of a patent therefor, any arti
cle, maohine, or machinery or other thing
for the exclnsive nsr, sale or manufacture
of which any patent has been or here
after may be granted to any
person, persons, or corporation
whatever shall be liable in damages or oth

presented and agreed to.
Mr. Cnllom called np the conference re
port on the inter-Siate commerce hill. He
said that he did so for the purpose of giv
ing the Senator from Iowa (Mr. Wilson) an
opportunity cf making some r. marks upon
the bill, after which, in arcoordance with
the suggestions of many Senators cn both
sides as to the impracticability ot action on
it before the holidays, be would let the bill
go over until after the holidays. He an
nounced, however, that when the Senate
resumed its sessions he would again call up
the conference rtportund insist upon its
consideration from day to day, until dis
posed of.
Mr Wilson, of Iowa, thereupon pro
ceeded to address the Senate in favor of
the adoption of the report.
At the conclusion of Mr. Wilson’s re
marks, Mr. Camden inquired from Mr.
CBlloa to hi» intentions in regard t.o
the management of the bill. He said that
be regarded it as a wise, conservative meas
ure; that the conntry demanded thepasBSge
of some such bill, and that it was the
duty of Congress to set npon it, A large
portion of the time of the session after the
holidays would be taken np by appropria
tion bills, and nnltss this bill was acted
upon promptly and in tbs early part of
the session it was liable not to be acted
npon at all, and would fail for want of
time.
Mr. Cnllom replied that bis own prefer
ence would be to proceed with Ihe lull un
til the recess, but there seemed to be so
unanimous a decree that it Bhculd not be
pressed to consideration at this time, in
view of the fact that Congress would ad
journ to-morrow, that many Senators de
sired to go home this evening, that ho hud
oniy thought it wise ami proper to u»k fur
its consideration To-day, so that the Sena
tor from Iowa might make some remarks
on the subject. He appreciated the fact
that tbe bill might easily be allowed to fail
for want of time, bnt so far as he was con
cerned it should not do so if he had the
power to prevent it. Hu would esk the
Senate to resume its consideration immedi
ately upon reassembling after th<r|recess.
The bill then went over, and the bill to
establish agricultural experiment stations
in connection with agricultural colleges was
taken np ns unfinished business, and it was
arranged that it should retain its place on
tho calendar.
After an executive session the Senate ad
journed,

such infringement shall be thereafler dis

Mr. Townshcnd said the only object of the
measure was to protect innocent purchasers
against blackmail.
Mr. Hammond opposed the bill,
and declared that the first sec
tion would Btrike down seven-eights of
all the patents iu the country, while the
second section would place a premium up
on scoundrelism.
Mr. Bntterwortb, of Ohio, regarded tho
bill as a bold attempt to kill the goose that
laid the golden egg. It was due to the
patent system that the United States ex
celled every other nation to-day os a man
ufacturing country. The bill practically
wiped out tho patent system, while it would
icitye msicpolte^ if any such existed in
this country, unharmed.
The House.
Washington, December 21.—After the
reading of the journal the Speaker called
the attention of the House to tho vot.cn
the question of adjournment yesterday
evening. As tho result was handed to the
Chair the vote stood yeas 124, nays 121, and
thereupon the Speaker had declared the
House adjourned. An examination showed
that tho vote really was yeas 121, nays 125.
The error had ooonrred by reason of the
great confnsion existing in the hull during
th» roll call.
Mr. Reed, of Maine—“Then we are still
in sossion.” Townshcnd, of Illinois, con
tended that as the House had refused to ad
journ the legislative day of Monday must
bo continued. The Speaker—Tho Chair
thinks tho House did adjourn. [Laughter.]
Mr, Morrison, from the committee cu
ways and means, reported back a con
current resolution for a holiday recess from
December 22 to January 4. Agreed to by
132 -25.
Oa motion of Mr. Buchanan, the Senate
amendment to the bill for the relief of tho
survivors of the Arctic exploring steamer
JeAnnette was concurred in.
Mr. Dinghy presented the remonstrances
Cbicaoo, .December 21.—An important
secret circular has been received by Dis
trict Assemblies 24 and 57, Knights of
Labor, of this city, from Master Workman
Fowderly, concerning faoltonal quarrels
which have existed in the organization for
some time. Tho circular touches upon
several topics, but the most important are
political questions and the notion of
Knights in reference to the condemned An
archists. When the order is promulgated,
it is elaimed that the conservative leaders
of the organization will be pleased with
I’owderly’s commands, while they will
greatly displease the radical wing.
Mr. Powderly has ordered the master
workman of District Assemblies Nos. 24
and 57 not to allow any money to be col
lected for tho condemned Anarchists, and
instructs them that if any fnnds have been
collected that snch moneys be returned to
the assemblies and persons who contributed

Toccoa, Ga., December 21.—The report
ed burning ot Frank Sanders, murderer of
five members of tho Swilling family, proved
to be incorrect, at bo was returned to jail

Cincinnati, December 21.—CoL Dccths, I
chief of police, to-day discovered Richard
Shir-nick in the Cincinnati workhonce,
where be had been placed two months ago
for disorderly conduct. A dispatch had been
sent Deeths to arrest Khinnick for a mur
der which Shinuick’s wife, oa her death
bed at Richmond, Va., said he had com
mitted here last fall. Shinntck will be |
held for the Richmond authorities.
UflEl
The General Master Workman’s action,
it is contended, settles the question of the
relation of the Knights of Labor and the
Anarchists, It also explains why on tho
joint meeting of these District Assemblies
last Sunday the matter was not*! brought
np, when the meeting was for that purpose.
THREATS TO WITHDBAW FROM THE ORDER.
I’hij.adklfiiia, Pa., December 21.—Tho
Record to-morrow will say: The desire of
the assemblies of machinery constructors
of the Knights of Labor to obtain from tho
general executive board a national trade
charter for their industry has become so
urgent os to threaten a split in the ranks of
the order in caso request be not granted.
The members in this industry com
prise workers in all trades for
construction—boiler makers, blacksmiths,
machinist—pud they claim as a right that
they should be allowed to direct business
that pertains to their particular interest.
For instance, should the employes of sumo
particular machinery establishment dudre
to strike and a groat majority
of their brethren in other shops
be convinced that snch action
wonld be unnecessary and injurious to tbe
larger number, it is claimed that a district
assembly, composed of other trades, should
not be given authority to compel snch
strike, to the injury of those who do not
desire to go out. Their wish is that machin
ists be granted power to regulate tho inter
nal affairs of their industry while holding
allegiance to the principals ot their order,
A petition to tho general executive beard
setting forth this idea in detail was practi
cally the result of the convention of local
assemblies held in Cincinnati on Nouember
8th. Delegates were present representing
twenty-one local assemblies, principally
in Chicago, Cleveland, Covington,
Cincinnati, Scranton, Phiiadeiphia,
Wilmington, Del., Baltimore, Washington,
New York, Newark. N. J., Troy, N. Y., and
Shoshone, Idaho. The petition was pre
sented on the lith of November, and tbe
committee were informed that tbe board
would look into the matter and give
a reply in a short time, “and that,”
said one of tho committeemen to-day,
“is Ihe last we have heard of the petition.
The local assembly which 1 represent has
notified the beard that if its answer be not
retained by the 27th of this month we will
satrender our charter.”

Mr. Martin, of Alabama, regarded tne

Mr, O Donnel), of Michigan, contended
that the pending proposition wonld not in

Richmond, Dtoember 21.—There have
been no new developments to-day in the
case ot supposed murder, sn account of
which was telegraphed hence last night.
Workmen, nnder supervision of the police,
continued .their search of the premises on
which the alleged murder was committed
and where tho body of the victim was sup
posed to lie buried in an old well. It is
now thought that it a murder was com
mitted by Shlnnick, as his djingwifestites,
ho made way with tbe body by some other
means or kuocked the man down, robbed
him and then pnt him out of the house.
Nothing was found by the searchers to in
dicate either that a murder had been com
mitted or that there bad ever been a well on
the premises, although a few old citizens
assert there was one. Mrs. Shinnick, who
is not yet dead, sticks firmly to her original
statement, bat belief in it is weakening
on aeeonnt of tho fact that noth
ing has been fonnd to sustain
her assertion, and the farther fact that she
is a women who did not bear a good char
acter before her marriago. It is said by
many that she had a revengeful motive
against her husband on aeeonnt of ill treat
ment. A telegram from Cincinnati, re

Washington, December 21.—In the Sen
ate, Mr. Merrill, from the finance com
mittee, reported bock favorably a bill to fix
the charge for passports at ono dollar, and
it was immediately passed.
Mr. Allison, from tho committee on ap
propriations, reported bock the Honse bill
making appropriations to supply deficien
cies for the pnblie printing, with, ai
amendment requiring too money to be ex
pended rateably. The amendment woe
his reasons for sending in the second time
the name of a man whose nomination the
Senste had ouoe rejected. It is reported
that tbe message, after reciting the fact of
tuo first nomination and reject! >D, states
that a. Urge number of persons
in the district had conceived a prejudice
against Matthews, which fact doubtless in
fluenced the action of tho Senate; that
Matthews had now been in office several
months, and bod proved his capability by
reecning records of the office from loss and
illegibility and that his management ot tbe
offioe bod had tbe effect of removing mneh
of the opposition which formerly existed.
For these reason! and profeadeg an earn
est desire to co-operate in Mealing for col
ored men jnat recognition, he vmiaree in
u_e utmost good faith, to send in tbe nomi
nation again, disclaiming, however, aoy
intention of questioning the previous set of
the Senate in the premises.
