THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: WEDNESDAY. FI'RR IT ARY 11. 189L
, THE WKKK IN CONGRESS
FRIDAY, I'I IB. G.
The Senate.
"Washington, Feh. 0.—In tbe Senate,
4he naval appropriation bill was re-
/ported, with sundry amendments, and
‘ Air. Halo gave noiice that he would nek
the Senate to take it up tomorrow or at
farthest on Monday.
Mr. Hawley otTeroda resolution (which
was agreed to) calling on the President
•for tho correspondence in reference to
the conduct of the senior naval officer
present at San dose de Guatemala on the
oocasLD of the arrest and killing of Gen.
, Harrundia, and the action of the Navy
Department.
Mr. Morgan addressed the Senate in
l rapport of the bill, reported from tho
committee on foreign relations, to aid in
the c onstruction of tho Nicaragua tnari-
time canal The bill had support, he
said, from every section of the country,
, and that gave it a broad, national char-
d *ter.
T Mr. Morgan went on to argue, in the
pffiirmative, the question whether con
gress had tl e power to loan its credit to
the Nicaragua Canal Company. The con-
• elusion of his reasoning on that point
■was that tho prohoied subvention was as
clearly within the powers of congress as
tho grant of the original charter of the
company was.
Mr. Wolcott offered a resolution (which
was agreed to) instructing the committee
nient. Tho chairman sustained the point
of order, on the ground that the amend
ment is not germane to the paragraph to
which it is offered, and, further, that it
changes existing law.
Mr. Bland appealed from the decision.
The decision of tho chair was sustained
by a vote of 134 to 127.
Mr. Dockeiy of Missouri moved to
striko out tho appropriation of $20,000
for recoinage and insert the words “and
so much as may bo necessary to meet
tbe expenses of such recoinage is hereby
appropriated out of the silver protit
fund." Adopted. In adverting to bis
amendment, Mr. Dockery said that its
object was to provide for the recoinage
of $10,000,000 of subsidiary coin now in
the treasury. About $18,000,000 of this
consisted of half-dollar pieces, Tbe
amendment provided a sufficient sum to
meet the abrasion or defacement of the
coin, and permitted the Secretary of the
Treasury to substitute coins in current
demand for these half-dollar coins. A
further effect of the amendment would
be to compel the secretary to coin at
once into standard silver dollars the six
million of trade dollars now in the
treasury.
The committee then recurred to the
World’s Fair paragraphs, to which Mr.
Candler of Massachusetts propose*
(though it has not yet been formally
offered) the following substitute: "That
the Secretary of the Treasury be in*
etructed not to approve the payment of
any expense attendant upon the meeting
of the World's Columbian commission,
on foreign relations to request from the or of the l»oard of lady managers, except
Nicaragua Canal Company a list of stock- such meetings ns may be called at the
holders since its organization; to ascer
tain whether tbe work already done
about the canal has been done by a con
struction company, and. if so, to obtnin
lists of officers and stockholders of such
construction company and copies of con
tract.
At the conclusion of Mr. Morgan's
■neech.the Senate resumed tbs considera
tion of the House bill providing for the
adjustment of account# of laborers,
workmen and mechanics arising under
the eight-hour law, and wan addressed by
Mr. Morrill in opposition to it. It was not
too much to say, be remarked, that a
large majority of the people of the
United States labored more than ten
hours a day. He had a deep conviction
thst not only was the eight-hour law of
3863 fundamentally wrong, hut that the
attempted resurrection of it in the pend
ing measure, instead of being beneficial
to the class which it wan especially in
tended to benefit, would indict upon
that class and upon the country
at largo grave and possibly and irrepara
ble injury.
Mr. Stewart argued in favor of the bill.
The amendment reported from the
committcoon education and labor was
read It strikes out of the House bill tbe
proviso that it shall not be operative
whenever the court of claims shall find
that work or service was performed under
any contract, express or implied, and the
workman has been paid therefor the
amount agreed upon.
Mr. Vest moved to amend tbe proviso
by inserting *.b» words which lie had pro
posed: “Without duressor coercion of
any sort by any officer of the govern
ment.”
Mr. Blair opposed tbe amendment and
ragfftftted a substitute—one of the words
"undue influence."
Tbe bill was temporarily laid aside, and
Mr. Edmunds moved the adoption of an
order that on and after Monday next
night sessions bo held, except on Satur
day, with a recMS from 6 to 8 o'clock
jv in.
Debate on the labor bill then pro
ceeded. participated in by Measra Slier-
man, Dawes, Snooner, Cockrell. Blair,
Allison, Teller. Ingalls, Vest and Reagan.
In its course Mr. Blair said that it was
bis purple, alter getting a vote on the
Lonimittco amendment, to move sea
substitute for iho bill, the one pitied by
tho Senate in the last congress.
Mr. Ingalls asksd him why he did cot
offer thst substitute now.
Mr. IUair said that if there was r.o ob
jection, he would do so. Unanimous
consent having l*en given, Mr. Blair
withdrew the committee amendment and
offered as a substitute for the Uouse bill
the one passed by the Senate in the last
congress. It directs the payment of a
day’s psy for every eight hours work of
government employes since June, 1868,
when the eight-hour law was enacted.
The court of claims is to adjust claims on
that basis, and no statute of limitation
and no receipt for money shall bsr the
right to receiver.
Mr. Dawes moved a substitute for that
offered by Mr. Blair. U directs the
proper accounting officers of the treasury
to readjust the accounts of government
workmen ou the basis of e'g it hours for
a day's work, and appropriates ths
amount necessary for their payment.
The difference between this bill and that
of Iks senator from New Hampshire
was. Mr. Dawes said, the difference be
tween something and nothing.
Mr. Bisnd and Mr. Dawes became in
volved in an angry jiersonal colloquy,
Mr. Dawes asserting that his proposition
had been led to sleep in tbe committee
room on educaliou and labor, “where
everything must sleep, unless that which
is concocted by claims agents." and Mr.
llUir repelling the insinuation that
claims agents had anything to do
tho substitute which he bad offered.
Mr. Blair proposed that a vote should
be taken on tbs Dill and amendment at 4
o'clock tomorrow.
Mr. Cockrell objected, laying that
there should be a full discuiaioa of the
bill that would take $J»,000.0U0 out of
the treasury, and which was a worse
back-pay job than that which had re
tired one congress, lie agreed, however,
that the bill should be voted on tomor
row.
That being agreed upon, Mr. Dawes
modified bis amendment by striking out
tho appropriation clause, leaving it an
inatiuctiou to the accounting officer of
the treasury to readjust claims and re
port the result to coogres* Adjourned.

Mr. Wilson of West Virginia questioned
the efficiency of the national commis
sion on tbe expenditure of government
money, and criticised the salaries paid to
officials.
Mr. Breckinridge ef Kentucky de
fended tho action of the committee on
appropriations in reporting tho para
graphs providing for the expenses of tbs
commirsion.
In course of discussion, Mr. Mason of
Illinois referred to the fact that Air.
Candler's amendmonthad not been form
ally offered, and gsvo notice that ho
would make the point of order against
it. when offered, that it was a violation
of n statute of the United Ruts*.
Mrs«ra. Adams, Tavlorand Mason of
Illino ! i defended the World's Fair com
mission and deprecated the criticisms
which had been made upon Chicago and
everybody connected with the exposition
! aa being entirely unwarranted,
Mr. Coleman of Louisiana said that the
exposition had dons more for ths Indus-
trim o£ the & >Uti» than any aciiun UL«m
by congress lor years post.
Mr. Butterworth had no doubt of this
fact, and hs continued at some length to
dvfsad the city of Chicago from the as
persions cast upon it in tbe matter of
raising money, and laid stress up.m ths
point that the proposed exposition was
not an enterprise of Culcsgo, nor of Illi
nois, but was of the whole country.
There ought, he said, to be national
pride in this matter.
Mr. Candler then offered hia amend
ment formally; and against it Mr. Mason
raised his point of order. Pending a de
cision, the committee rose and the House
took a recess until 8 o'clock—the
ing session to he for the consideration of
private pension bilk
At its evening session the house passed
115 private pension bills.
greater fraud had ever been attempted to
be imposed on a legislative uody iu the
name of toiling millions. It was not a
bill for the great russs of those who toiled
by day and night, but was a bill for the
benefit of tiie select, favored, aristocratic
governmental class—officials of the gov
ernment. who claimed to be masters of
tli© great masses of the country. In the
course of hisipeech, Mr. Cockrell ridi
culed the ip'S'iniption that men who
worked t n hours a day were under J
duress—tuat they were iorced to do it.
“Jv>or, deluded creatures," ho exclaimed,
“they come here nnd p ea 1 the hahy net
and ask that they bn paid 25 per cent. ,
more for thoir work than other men get
for like work at the s line time. Thero is r-o
justice, no right, no canity, no houcsty,
in these pit t tided iiaiuir. They are
not claims; they do not rise to the dignity
of claims. In the name of ths tax
payers. in the name of the farmers nnd
laborers of the country, I protest agninst
this hill o; legalized robbery, which takes
from »,ix,0 to $30,000,000 out of
the.r po bets for tin* lour lit of n rlaa* of
16.UWI favors I government workmen.**
Tho qu<wt:ou was taken on Mr. D we*'
amendment, and it was agree * to, with
out a division.
Mr. Cockrell moved to amend it by a
proviso tii.t the iic elml not he opera-
live v. h.never the department shall find
that the work was done under contract,
express or implied, and has been paid
fir. This was agr.ei to—yeas 20, nays
After a long debat**, in tho course of
which it was asternal and denied, with
equal positiveueM, that its effect would
lie to kdl the hill, Mr. Morrill moved to
add to the substitute an appropriation of
$0,000,000, although he had no doubt, ho
said, that it would cos', a great ileal more
than that He did not want to cotu oal
what the Senate was doing in passing the
bill.
Mr. Go>man said that after the adop
tion of Mr. Cockrell's amendment there
whh no necessity (or nuking any appro
priiitmn, as nothing would be expended
under it.
Mr. Morrill's amendment was agreed
to without a division.
Other amendments were sgreed to as
follows: Providing that no contract for
payment of any claim ebsll be recog
nized by any official of the government;
striking out the words which prohibit*
nay on account of reduction of hours of
lawor. notwithstanding contract o ipuia-
tiooa; adding as uu additional section u
provision riving to laborors and “ms-
tsri.il men" on government work dons
under contract, a lien upon moneys due
by tho government; prohibiting the ex
action of contracts us n condition of pay
ment or retention in public service.
The 1 ill was then reported loth: Senate,
and all the auieaOiiiontrt were agreed to
except Mr. Morril's appropriation utuend-
monk That was rejected by a vote of 24
to 25.
The bill wae ordered to be read a third
time—yeas 2D, nays 19.
Tho quistton bring on tho passage of
the lull, statement* were tnadn by eev-
enl senators as to tin rena me for their
votes, Mr. Wolcolt fancied that all the
senators had tho sums quality of sympa
thy with the laboring tuen, and tuought
that it was about time to have sonic sym
pathy with the government. The hill
was an absurdity and ho moved that it
bo riomntniiied to ths committee on
education.

when Mr. ltlair learned how it stood (2d

Washington. FeU 7.—In the Senate,
on motion of Mr. lliacock, tbe llouas
joint resolution to correct an error of
punctuation in the tariff act was taken
up. It amende paragraph 3G2 (as to
cables, cordage, etc.,) so as to include In
parentheses the words “except binding
twine."
Mr. Carlisle contradicted the assertion
that the error was a lerical one end as
serted that the paragraph in the enrolled
bill coutorded exactly with the |*ra<
graph in the original bill and in tbe con
ference report He could see, however,
the injustice of imposing a tariff tax of 3
cams pur pound on flax and only 11-2
a pound on twine manufactured from it,
and be would therefore luako no oppo
sition to tbe passage of the joint reecdu-
lion. He thought that tho rate of duty
ought to be 35 per cent (as it was under
the old rate). Instead of 50 per cent, as
the resolution proposes.
Mr. Berry objected and the joint reso
lution went over tUl Monday.
Tho order for night >*s«ions. sub

Under tbe order as voted, the Senate

Mr. Carlisle asked Mr. Dawes what be

uient applying to piece work as well
to work by day.
Mr. Dawes confessed that he could not
very well explain why It should apply to
piece work; but be had found it in the
llouse bill, and had limply adopted it
Mr. Allison moved to amend Mr.
Dawes' amendment by making it take
effect, not from June 25, 1868, (the date
of tbe eight-boor law), but from March
4, 1977. (up to which time there has al-

struck out the reference to piece work.
Mr. Harris said ike bill could not pos

entertain tbe idea of supporting it. In
point of morality, it rote no higher in

Washington, Feh. 7.—Since the de
feat of tiie attempt to have n free coin
age amendment attached as a "rider" tv
the sand y «dvii appropriation bill, the
silver m*n have been busy devising other
schemes by means of which to compel a
vote l.y tho Hoti e on tho question of
free coiinge. The vote yesterday was
not regarded by them ns n fair test of
strength, for the reason that it was com
plicated with a question of parliamentary
practi* e, on which they did not regard
their position aa strongly fortified, and
thov were therefore anxious to bring the
lusttsr up in »oiue new* form. Mr.
Townsend* resolution (described else
where) was the first effort in the new
plan of campaign. It does not
of i-adf con>tuute a questien
of privilege, but it is believed by Mr.
Townsend and other ardent free coinage
advocatei that it afford*a basis on which
to b .ts a future reoolulluu that will fairly
be a matter of privilege under tiie rules
The proposition is th*t in case the rules
commit ee f-1 s to make a report on the
resolution offered today, that then an
other r-A'dmi n shall bs presented, re
citing that ti e measure (perhaps naming
the Sens « *i!ver bill) has been sup
pressed in committee, and directing that
it be for>hwhn roported to ths Uouse.
It is thought thst bv this means the
question nmy perhaps l>© brought up free

itself to som» members, of patsing the
meavure by the establish nient of u pre
cedent that might hereafter operate in
