THE SENATE.
The senate re-assembled at noon
Thursday after the holiday recess of
about ten days. About thirty senators
were present when Vice-president Ste¬
venson called the body to order and
more came in during the reading of the
journal. . Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania,
introduced his proposed amend¬
ment to the urgency deficiency bill,
amending the tariff law by striking
out all provisions for an income
tax and substituting a new wool¬
len schedule, including a duty on raw
wool. At 2:30 o’clock the senate re¬
sumed consideration of the Nicaragua
canal bill, Senator Morgan speaking.
After the presentation of sundry reso¬
lutions and memorials, Mr. Sherman,
from the committee on foreign affairs,
reported, and the senate passed the
resolution heretofore introduced by
Mr. Lodge, of Massachnsettsj calling
on the president for the correspond-
ence and other papers relative to the
delivery of the United States consul
at Shanghai of two Japanese
prisoners to the Chinese authorities.
The resolution went over and the
senate again proceeded to the consid-
eration of the Nicaragua canal bill,
Mr. Morgan had the floor to make a
speech on the bill, but before he be-
gan, the senate, on motion of Mr.
Squire, republican, of Washington,
passed a bill granting an American
register to the vessels Linda, of North
Carolina, and Archer, of Washington,
Mr. Morgan then began his address on
the Nicaragua canal bill. He eriti-
bised senators who opposed the bill by
imputing to those who favored the bill
motives other than patriotic. He de-
fended the constitutionality of the
present bill, which had been attacked.
I Less t^xan twenty senators were in
Iheir seats Friday when Vice-Presi-
lent Stevehson called the senate to

to why the
yarship*? had been withdrawn from
Honoluiu. At the conclusion of Mr.
nodge’e remarks, Mr. Butler, of South
barolina, moved the reference foreign of the
fesolution to the committee on
relations. Mr. Lodge was disposed
to combat this reference, insisting
that it should more properly go to the
committee oh naval affairs. The mat-
ter was discussed 'by Messrs. Butler,
Gray, Lodge and others. Mr. Aldrich
suggested thatihe.resolution be
fied so as to request the information
of the subject from ”tbo president,
There was no reason why it should not
pass. The people of the United States
were entitled to the information de¬
sired. Morgan, democrat, Alabama,
declared himself in favor of annexa¬
tion and a good friend to the people
of Hawaii. At the same time the
resolution should go to the committee
on foreign relations. He believed the
new republic of Hawaii should have
an opportunity to -show to the world
that it did not need a crutch to help it
along. • Other speeches were made on
the measure, :and at 2 o’clock the reso¬
lution went to the calendar and Sena¬
tor Morgan resumed his speech on the
Nicaragua canal bill. On motion of
Senator Stewart, a resolution was
made making inquiry of the secretary
of state as to whether Hon. J. W.
Foster had any connection with the
American government in his mission
to China and Japan.
In the absence from Washington of
Vice-President Stevenson and Presi¬
dent Pro Tem Harris, Senator Cox call¬
ed that body to order Monday. The
chaplain in his opening prayer made a
touching allusion to the death of Rep¬
resentative- Post, of Illfiioisl Mr.
Gorman, democrat, Maryland, offered
a resolution nominating Mr. Ransom,
democrat, North Carolina, president
pro tem of the senate. This was
agreed to and the oath of .office was
administered by Senator Morrill. In
taking the chair Mr. Ransom briefly
thanked the senate for its expression
of confidence. It was due to himself
to say oh the return of the distinguish¬
ed senator from Tennessee (Mr. president Har¬
ris),'who had been elected
pro tem of the senate, he should ask
to be relieved from the position, and
that the senator who had discharged
the duty with so much ability and sat¬
isfaction, to the senate and the coun¬
try should -bo returned to the place.
The presiding officer then called Mr.
Manderso-n to the chair and a resolu¬
tion was adopted authorizing the sec¬
retary of the senate to inform the
president and the house of represen¬
tatives of its action regarding the elec¬
tion of a presiding officer.
Mr. Ransom, of North Carolina,
president pro tempore, presided at the
opening of the senate Tuesday. The
early routine business having been
quickly disposed of, Mr. Morgan
(democrat of Alabama), offered a res¬
olution which was adopted, calling on
the president for reports, documents

lution, calling for information why the
Uni ed States warships had been with-
dravu from Hawaiian waters was then
considered, after which the een-
ate paid a tribute to itB late
distinguished member, Alfred Holt
Colq lift, of Georgia. At 2 o’clock
Senator Gordon arose and offered the
following resolution: Resolved, “That
the senate has heard with profound
sorrow of the death of the Hon. Al¬
fred Holt Colquitt, late a senator from
the atjb of Georgia. Resolved, That
as a lift >rk of respect do the deceased
the but ss of the senate by now sus¬
pended to enable his associates to pay
proper ibute of regard to his high
character and distinguished services.”
Genera! Gordon, who was the first
speaker, >aid a characteristically fer¬
vid am; < .oqnent tribute to his distin¬
guished and lamented colleague. Sen¬
ator Yialsh followed his senior col¬
league in a brief address full of elo¬
quence and feeling and breathing a
high spirit of reverence and regard
for the great Georgian whose seat the
eloquent speaker had been called to fill.
THE HOUSE,
The holiday recess being ended, the
house presented an animated scene as
it was called to order by Speaker
Crisp Thursday. The galleries were
crowded,and over half the diplomatic members
were ih their seats. In the
gallery were the Japanese minister
and his secretary and maDy prominent
personages looked down on the foren-
sic arena from the reserved gallery.
After the call of the committees for re-
ports, Mr. Quigg, republican, of New
York, attempted to offer a resolution
relating to salaries in the New York
postoffice, but Mr. Springer, in charge
0 f the currency bill, cut him off with a
mo tion to go into committee of the
whole for the further consideration of
that bill. Accordingly the house went*
into committee, of the whole, Mr.
Richardson in the chair, andMr. Black,
democrat, of Georgia, a member of the
banking and currency committee, took
the floor in favor of the bill.
At the opening of the session of the
house Friday, the speaker presented

The first business called in the house
Tuesday was a resolution from the
committee on rules asking the appro¬
priation committee to insert a clause
in the Sundry civil appropriation bill,
authorizing the transfer of the milita¬
ry prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan¬
sas, from the jurisdiction of the war
department-of justice. The resolution,
after some debate, was adopted by ja
vote of 156 to 12. The debate on the
currency bill was then resumed. Mr,
Sibley, of Pennsylvania, led off in ^
sensational speech, arraigning and at¬
tacking the administration and the
president for its attitude on the finan¬
cial question. Mr. Sibley, though
hailing from Pennsylvania, is an ex¬
treme free silver man. He was hot in
thn collar, and he showed it in
iiis utterances, particularly in his crit¬
icisms of the president. *
FLORIDA’S PHOSPHATES.
Europe Has Stored Up a Largo Supply
of Fertilizers.
The phosphate shipments through
the port of Fernandina for the year
1894, as compiled at the custom house,
aggregated 135,509 tons, an excess of
nearly 9,000 tons over those of 1893.
Since the discovery of Florida phos¬
phate was made in the latter part of
1889 Fernandina has shipped 448,987
tons, all of which has been hauled
to Fernandina from the mines by the
Florida Central & Peninsular railway,
.which company has erected at tide wa¬
ter an immense elevator and long
lines of wharves. This elevator has
a storage capacity of 9,000 tons. For
the year of 1895 the shipments of
phosphate from will hardly exceed
125,000 tons, for the European buyers
have taken advantage for the last two
years of the very low conditions of tho
market and low freights and have sue-
ceeded in storing in Europe the eaor-
rnous amount of 900,000 tons of Flor
plmbplitGf-- — -V..C tb, .t :;t
sible for the price to further decline,
they intend to dispose of what they
have on hand, which will have a ten-
dency to improve the condition of tho
market, but cause a slight decrease in
the amount of phosphate rock shipped
from the state.
GOULD’S MILLIONS.
An Appraiser Fixes the Value of His
Estate at $80,934,580.
A New York special says: Lawyer
David McClure, who, in March, 1893,
was appointed appraiser by the surro¬
gate to fix the value of the estate of
the late Jay Gould, at the time of his
death, with a view of determining the
amount of tax that should be placed
upon the personal property, has made
his report, by which he finds the value
of the personal estate of the late mil¬
lionaire to be $80,934,580.79, less the
amount of his debts, $6,553,520.71,
and less legacies, annuities, etc., to
his brother, sisters, grandson, of $1,-
136,513, making the amount of the
residuary estate to be $73,224,547.08.
Mr. McClure says, in his report,
that it was found at the outset of
the hearings that they would be pro¬
tracted and it was then determined
by deposit the executors of the estate to
with the comptroller an
amount, which, in their judgment,
would meet the taxes to be paid upon
the property. The executors then
paid $600,000 to the comptroller, upon
the assumption that the personal es¬
tate would not exceed $60,000,000.
Each of the six children of Mr. Gould
is' entitled to a life estate, in trust,-
in one-sixth of the residuary estate,
with the remainder to their children.
Under a recent deoision of the coqrf/
of appeals it is held that these re-4
mainders are not liable to taxation,
which formerly they were. This will
reduce, the. tax considerably, and it is
expected that the executors will be
entitled to recover from the $600,000,
which they paid to the state, a small
sum in their favor.
THE JUDGES DREW STRAWS.
Mabrey Got the Longest One and is
Chief Jiistice of Florida.
Florida has a very drastic statute
against gambling, but its fundamental
law embraces a -provision which com¬
pels its highest tribunal of justice to
engage in a game of chance for a big
stake. When -the supreme court met
at noon Tuesday at Tallahassee its first
duty was to elect a chief justice, which,
by a peculiarity of the Florida consti¬
tution, is done by lot. Mr. Justice
Mabrey drew the long straw, and-this
chance mokes him chief justice of
Florida. He has been on the supreme
bench since 1890.
Mexico’s Demand for Damages.
The Mexican government has made
a formal and specific demand on Gua¬
temala, fixing the arnoupt of damages
inflicted by invading Guatemalans at
$1,868.54.

Wliat the Caucus Did.
In the democratic house caucus,
Monday afternoon, Speaker Crisp,
urging the Carlisle currency bill, said
that the caucus was to test whether the
currency bill would pass. Information
on this subject was necessary, the sit¬
uation being grave and important.
Representative Bland, of Missouri,
opposed the resolution. “We have
now reached the point,”he said, “when
for the first time the democratic party
is asked to become the advocate of
state banks. ”
. Springer asked unanimity of
ion for the sake of the party and
mntry.
Mr. Cochran, of New York, thought
the question was an economic, not a
political one, and ought not to be set¬
tled in a private caucus.
After a number of other speeches
had been made and amendments offer¬
ed, Mr. Crisp offered the following
resolution:
“Resolved, That it is the sense of
this caucus that the Carlisle currency
bill should be passed by the house of
representatives substantially as pre¬
sented in the substitute which has
been printed in the Record and which
will he offered at the proper time by
the chairman on banking and curren¬
cy, and that the committee on rules
be requested to report an order
Wednesday, immediately after the
reading of the journal, which shall
provide for its consideration for one
mole day for general debate and there¬
after under the five minutes’ rule and
final vote thereon at the earliest prac¬
ticable time during this week.”
The resolution was adopted by a
vote of 81 to 59, and at 5 o’clock the
caucus adjourned.
It is only by education that men can
be brought to the proper way of
thinking. “As the twig is bent the
tree is inolinedl”
