tnoi up the bill to repeal the pre emption
and timber culture lawe. After eome die-
ms.ion by Messrs. Dolph, Morgan and
Coclcrrll, the bill was displaced by the in
ter S ate commerce bill, the consideration
of which was resumed. Mr. Culiom said

After speeches by Messrs. Hanlson and
lltbone, a vote was taken on Mr. Beck's
amendment to strike ont from theUnnee
bill toe prorisino relating to equal factll-les
and accommodation* for passengers. The
Senate, by a vo'e of 22 to S3, refused to
itrlMnut the clause.
The bid provides tnst railroads ahall not
chirrs more fur a shorter haul than for a
longer haul tkatincludes the shorter. Mr.
Beck moved to amend this so as t> pro

transportation any distance less than the

for a similar vervice oyer the
whole tongh ol the lln*. To

to emend Mr. Beck's amendment no ts to
make it apply only to cases involving
"simllsr circumstances.” Mr. Sherman,

Under the call of 8 ate* a number of bills
were introduced and referred.
Mr. Ktndill called np tbe resolntion

Mr, M intlon, of Illinois, then made
some filibustering motions, on which the
roll ni called.
A yea and nay rota was ordered st 0:20
on a motion of Mr Bloant, ol Georgia, to
adjimrn. Before It was taken Mr. Hnctck
of New York, asked of Mr. Collins, of Mas
••ebusettt, "What can we accomplish?
Yon know it's not poerible to accomplish
anything” Colllna retorted: "Allthings
are possible in aseonlbla assembly." Thai
pitied anotuer hour, and then Mr.
Bpringar. of Illinois, rose and said that
early in Ibn day b* hid yielded his right to
call op a bill of local importance, and that
n* now hoped that unanimous consent
wonld he given to hare it pasted.
Mr. Wane, of Keutucky, objected.

ruptcy bill heing in a majority ranging
from two to elx. and Toting down every

come a day or two sooner. Gov. Cleve
land will «o to the Arlington like any other
guest, and pay his own bills.
On motion of Ur.Cullom.the Senate then
resumed consideration of the Inter-State
commerce bill The question was on Mr.
Plumb'e motion to add tbe words “under
similar circumstances" to tbe amendment
offered by Mr. Beck, which amendment
would prohibit a railroad company from
charging more lor the transporting of
goods over a part of it* line than f *r trans
porting the same goods over its whole line.
Mr. Piumb's motion was agreed to—yeas
26, nays 20.
The question thea recurred on Mr.
Beck's amendr ent as modified. On this
Mr. Vance took the tloor. He ridiculed tbe
Idea that Senators did not have auffi dent
knowledge and common sense to be able to
•ay that railroads should be prohibited
from pooling and diacrl i lasting against
persona and places. There were, no doubt,
matters of railroadimanagemeot that Sena
tors did not understand; but there were
also simple matters that even the Senate's
pages could uudentand. Much eloquence
had been expended in tbe Senate ou this
railroad subject, but Mr. Vsncc thought
tbe eloquence of Senetors was in inverse
ratio to their disposition to do anything
effective. It hsd been ssld that to many
people were Interested in railroad stocks
that we ought not to pass laws to restrict
their charges. The same argument
wonld apply to the business ol robbing
henroosts. The clamor*of railroad meu
were like the protests of tbe chicken steal-
era, who would li. form legislature that they
did not understand the business of
chicken alealiog—that It was a very com-
pllca ed business and differed totally from
the vulgar business of stealing things other
than chickens. Reference to railroad au
thorities as ‘experts” was in Mr. Vance s
opinion t-l though chicken stealers shonld
insist that one of their number, BdlSyk.s.
for example, ahouid be consulted by the
representatives of the people before laws
were passed on the snbjectof chicken
stealing, because BUI Sykes thoroughly
understood the subject. Bill Sykea bad
been in ths business for forty years and
c aid tell an old hen from a pullet by star
light in Ilia top of Ihe loftiest apple tree In
the farm yard. There was In Mr. Vance's
opinion one great mystery about the rail
road business, and that was the meek en
durance and long suffering patience
of tho American people. The
claims of Vanderbilt, Jay Gould,
Albert Fink el Id ornne genus to having
cheapened tbe price of ommodlUe* by
railroad trantp irtation were claims that
properly belonged to science and not to the
uartles named. As well might the sieve
claim credit fur letting water pan tbrongn
' There was not n uch cre lit to be given
people who said "the public be
damned.” The Culiom bill was the direct
progeny of the Circumlocution Office, and
went 1 result in no'htng. Tbe Senate should
not dodge the iasne by passing inch • bill.
Mr. Vsnce favored tbe House bill.
Mr. lleck said Ihst he would now vote
against nis own amendm nt, since it had
been moiified by the amendment of Mr.
Plumb. It would mske the bill utterly
nsel-ss if passed. He severely criticised
the bill.
Mr. Beck's amendment, umndifieJ, was
then voted down—yets 6, nays 41.
Mr. Sherman followed in a long speech
on tbe general subject covered by these
bills, itinln rout with the statement that
lie preferrci the Sanate bill, but would
have voted for either the House or Senate
bill if die other were out of the way.
Mr. Kenns esnte next in opposition to
Ihe'coinraisiisn feature of the proposed
legislation.
Mr. Beck's am"ndmcnt, permitting a
reduction ol retrs ntmout prorinus notice,
wssagroedto—y.j. 16, nay«7. The Hou-e
bill provides that no dlscrimiuation
shall bo mule between pissengers on nc-
i-ount of rate or color, "bit the furnishing
ot separate and equally comfortable ac-
commo rations should not be deemed dis
crimination." Mr. Ingslls more l to strike
out all ot tbit provision except the sta-e-
nient that there should be no discrimina
tion on account of raea or color. Mr. In
ga Is s motion waa agreed to, line atriking
out i lie proviso regarding "separate nccoiu-

Wasiii.vutos, February 1.—The annual
report of the Commissioner ot Patents for

banded to the Secretary of the Interior.
That part of the report which relates to the
finances of the bureau shows that there was
received daring Ihe year Irom all sonroes
81.0 5.709 and that there was expended
5070.680—an excess of receipts overexpen-
oltures ot 3105.219. There is In the treas
ury of Ihe United States a balance on ar.
count ot the patent land ot 32,781,605. TI.6
summary of Ihe work of the office for the
ye ,r show* that there were Issued 20,297
patents and dc-igna; that 110 patents were
tel-sued and that 1.021 trade marks and
613 labels were registered; 12,361
patents expired daring the year
snd patents were withheld In
2,830 cases for non-payment of the final
fee. Uf Ihe patents iasued 19,013 were to
citizens ol tbe United Suites aud 1,281 to
citizens of foreign countries.
The commissioner ag tin calls attenUon
to th - inadequacy of the rooms and of the
facilities for conducting the business of
the office and to the onfitness of the ro ms
now occupied for occupation by human
beings, and s*y« »"ei several deaths have
already occurred irom diseases contracted
in foul, damp rooms. He also calls atten

that an appropriation be made fnra labor

that the present force is inadequate. Id

' That those having boslnesa with this
