The Senate fisheries bill h iving l orn laid
before the House, ou motion of Mr. Bel
mont it was referred to tbo committeo on
foreign affairs, aud Ieavo granted that com
mittee to report nt any time.
The granting of leave to report at any
time required unanimous consent, bnt there
was apparently no disposition on the part
of any member to mako an objection. Aa
it lias been frequently held that the right to
report at any time carries with it the right
ot immodiato consideration, Ihe hill will
have tho right of way in the House as soon
as it has been passed upon by the com
mittee.
Mr. Bragg submitted a conference report
upon the army appropriation bill, and it
waa agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Catchings, of Missis
sippi, a bill was passed providing for tho
hold-Dg of terms of the United States
Courts at Vicksburg, MIsb.
After a brief struggle for precedence be
tween tho plouro-pneumonia bill and the
river and harbor appropriations bill, tho
latter proved successful, and the House
went into committee of the whole on that
measure.
Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, offered tho
following amendment, as a subaiituo for
the entire bill: That the sum of $7,600,000
is horeby appropriated out of any money
in the treasury not otherwise appropriated,
Which may be expended by a board of en
gineers, constating of tho chief engineer
and four engineers now senior in service,
eitberfor the repair, preservation, con
struction or completion of such public im
provements of rivers and harbors as shall
in their judgment afford practical and im
portant facilities ty water for inter-Stato
commorca
After a long debate tho substitute was
agreed to (Hu to 27) and it was reported to
the House. The previous queition was or
dered—yeas 165, nays GL
Mr. Dingloy, of Maine, rising to a parlia
mentary questTOD, inquired as to the effect
St ft refaia! os tu* part of tho House to
agree to the substitute.
The Speaker replied that the original
bill would then bo before the House for
action
Mr. lunglej suggested that not nr.o lino
of that ':!! L ul peon consider,il in com-
mit’i e of the whole.
T in Speaker replied that that was a ur,li
ter over wbioh he had no jurisdiction. He
must bo governod by the report of the com-
rnittcc of tho whole, which had roported the
bill with a recommendation that a substi
tute be adapted. If that substitute were
not agreed to, tho question would be on
ordering tho original bill to a third reading.
Mr. Willis hoped, in view of this ruling,
that the snbstitute wonld be rejected-
i'he subBtitnto waa rejeoted—yeas 40,
nays 176.
Tho original bill waa then ordered en
grossed and read three times (yeas 143, nays
b7), and tho previous question was ordered
on the final passage ot the bilL
Ur. Hepburn demanded the reading of
tho engrossed copy, and as the bill bad not
been engrossed the House, at 6:15, ad
journed. The bill will come up for final
aodon to morrow.

The Inter-State Commerce BUI.
WasBixatox, Jmar MHBw M
dent received the inter-state com
weree bill this evening, and
has referred it to the Attorney-General for
txamination. It Is not likely the Preaident
will aot on the bill much before the ex
piration of the ten days’ period. A large
number ol applications have already been
received for appointment on the com
mlMion provided for in the bill, but the
President has not yet given that particular
aubject serious attention.
Tho legislative committee of tbe Knights
of Labor have sent a communication
President Cleveland, asking him to veto the
inter-Slate commerce bill. They regard tbo
following objections as fundamental: First,
the eommtasion clausa. Broond, the arbi
trary power conferred npon the commis-
•ion. Third, the exclusive jurisdiction
given to Federal courts to hear and deter-
mine cess* arising under tbe act. Fourth,
tho acknowledged uncertainty as to the
meaning of nearly all the provisions of the
mearor*

Pestu, January 27.—Herr Tisza, tho Hun
garian primo minister, has Bpoken to bis
friends in very reassuring terms regarding
tbe maintenance of pooco.
The Pesther Lloyd publishes a commun
ication from Berlin which it assorts is from
an anthentio source, and which states that
war between Germany and France is regard
ed os more probable at Berliu than is to be
Inferred from Information which is permit-
tsd to bs accessible to tbe public. “!{ is
erroneous,” says tbo letter, 4 'to suppose
that tho semi-ofliciftl press of Germany pub
lishes the details of the French armaments
solely for tho purpose of
influencing tho people ia the
coming elections. We happon to know
that Bismarck recently, when he
bad that view of the case presented to him
quoted in reply from Faust tho words 4 Tkou
resemblest a spirit whom thou comprekend-
«<st not,' Tho Princn addf>d Unit the state
ments made in behalf of the German gov
ernment,respecting the French armaments,
wero not put forth aa any part of election
mnnoueveriug, bnt as a warning, and he
said tho cold doucho had been turned oa
with less force this time, in order not to
jrovoke the people too much; but it would
)6 turned on with greater strength if that
was found to bo necese&ry. ‘Wo once
averted war,’ continued tho Chancellor, ‘by
appealing against it at the proper moment.’
Ho alluded to tho position of affairs in lsM.
when tbo German semi-official press called
attention to tho fact that Russian cavalry
wero being massed on the German
frontier. Then it was understood
that an ailianoo existed between
Russia and France, and it was shown that
warlike action on tho part of Russia vim
positively imminent. The present condi
tion ol affaire is not exactly analogous with
that which then existed, no Franco-Russian
ollianco being now feared, but thero is Am-
>lo authentic evidence that General Bou-
anger is persuaded that France will be pro-
pared and able, by 1888 at least, to onter
unaided into a great decisive htru/jrie. if
quiet were maintamod in the East until that
time. If Russia, howovor, should speedily
take action, or if an outbreak should occur in
tho Balkans, thero was evidence that Gen.
Boulanger contemplated in thpt event a
campaign against Gtinmny within a fow
months. Germany, therefore, was com
pelled to consider tho expediency of await-
ng inactively for a French attack."
The Berlin communication above alluded
to concludes with these words:
Trrsiib’iit Urevy and Bruno Minister
Goblet both unsuccessfully have tried to
romovo General Boulanger from control of
the military affairs 6f Franco, and to main
tain peace. Mach dopends on General
Boulanger's remaining.

‘Wrestling in Japan is alwAyB done in
tournaments that last from 0 o’clock in the
morning until about 1 oYIot k in th*? «\.*n-
iog. Ab fast os one man is downed another
turns up, and tho winner of the most bouts
is the winner of tho first prize."
'How does Matsoda Sorakicui stand with
the crack wrestlers of Japan?"
Not very high. He is so much smaller
and physically weaker than tho good ones
that he stands no show at nil against them.
The best wrestlers are Adata and Ume-
tatani, of Tokio. They are about as big as
blvan Lewfa, but a great deal Btrouger.
Tokio, Osaka and Kioto aro tho greatest
sporting centres in Janan. There is a good
reason for Sor&kichi’s inferiority to the
other wrestlers of his race. For nearly throe
centuries wrestling has been tho prevailing
sport of that country. Professional wrest*
lore bred their sons to be wrestlers, and in
the conrso of half a dozen generations thero
was developed a class of brawny athletes
big of bone and large of statnre, giants in
every respect physically. Against such
fellows Bor&kichi stands a small show. One
feature" of the Japanese wrestlers that
strikes an American at first glance ia tho
aldermanio paunch the athletes boast. In
this country, where athletes train off every
ounce of superfluous flesh, a man who would
step into a ring with such a waist girth as
Japanese wrestlers carry around wonld be
laughed off the stage. The average Jap will
weigh from 120 t«> I’.IO pounds. None of
the beet wrestlers scale under 200 pounds l
and all stand bead and shoulders above
non-athletio citizens. ”

Washington, January 27.—In tho Senate,
Mr. Cullotn offered tho following resolu
tion, which wbh adopted:
Whereas, since March 31st, 1885, the
Secretary of tho Treasury in his monthly
statements has treated fractional Bilver coin
the treasury as no portion of the cuah
balance available, therefore
Resolved, that the iinunco committee
of the Senate ho authorized and directed to
examine into thin subject aud report
whether additional legislation is requisite
to mako fractional silver coin now held in
tbe treasury a part of the available cash
balance, and also whether it will bo or not
judicious to provide for having such frac
tional silver coin reooined into standard sil
ver dollars."
The resolution offered by Mr. Hoar yes
terday in executive session, declaring that
after the .derate has refused its advice and
consent to the appointment of any person
to office it is contrary to tho spirit and in
tent of the constitution to designate the
same person to the same office im mediately
thereafter, was taken np and referred to the
committeo on privileges and (flections.
Tbe railroad attorney bill wa** t»k«n np,
Mr. Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, moved that
it be postponed till 2 o’clock to-morrow,and
that tho bsnato proceed to the consideration
of the dependent soldiers' bill. After a
long discusBiou it was agreed that tbo rail
road attorney bill be Ando unfinished busi
ness, and that it come up at 2 o’clock to
morrow, and that tho nouso bill for the re
lief of tho dependent parents of honorably
discharged soldiers and sailors who are now
disabled and dependent upon their own
labor for support, was taken up and after
discussion pussed without amendment and
without a division.
The Senate resumed consideration of the
agricultural cxpeiimout hta'ion bill. After
several amendments had been offered and
rejeoted, Mr. Edmunds offered an amend
ment that nothing in tho act shall be con
strued os binding tbo United States to con
tinue these appropriations, bat that Con
gress may at any time suspend or re peal all
or any of tho provisions of the act. Agreed
to. The bill was then passed without a di
vision. It directs tbe establishment (in
connection with agricultural colleges) ot a
department, to bo known and designated ah
an “agricultural experiment station."
Where there are two such colleges* in ono
Stato tho amount appropriated to each

Wx«niNOTON, January 27.—A full attend
ance this more ing of the committeo on for
eign affairs indicated the interest taken in
tho fishery question. Tho Nenato bill, re
ferred to tho committeo yesU rday, with tho
unusual power to report at any time to tho
house, was the subject of discussion. Tho
discussion showed substantial unanimity in
a determination to act without haste and
only after mature deliberation. The mer
its of the 8enate and House bills wero com
pared. Mr. Belmont indicated, his prefer-
eace.for the House bill, but thought there
was no reason for hasto, and that it could
bo improved.
Mr. Rice, of Massachusetts, thought that
the Senate bill went farther than was gen
erally supposed, aud might include more
than the Benate expected and perhaps —
much as the House bill. Tbe Senate bill
excluded not only Canadian products but
goods. Would not good? include any poo-
session, even cars and locomotives?
tbe excitement which had swept tho Senate.
The committee ought to take the wisdom ot
the Senate, as seen in its measure, and the
wisdom of the House, as soon in tho House
measure, and get out of the two, and by the
admixture of new matter, If necessary, some
thing to report which woald be reasonable,
peaceful and efficient. Tho Senate seemed
to want partial suspeu&bjD, and tho Houne,
judging by iU bill, totulnurpemflon of com
mercial intercourse. The wisdom of either
course and the practical details for enforc
ing either plan, when adopted, needed care
ful study. He moved that the matter be
referred to a sub-committee to report next
Tuesday.
Mr. Worthington said Chicago would
never go so far as to let Cana lun cars be
stopped, though it might bo willing to stop
pro lucU and goods that were Canadian.
The matter was referred to & subcommit
tee c< nhiBting of Messrs. Belmont, Cbm
eats of Georgia, and Rice, with instruction*
to report not later than next Tuesday.
