GFTTFNG DOWN TO WOKE.
Washington, December 12. A number of
executive communications, principally relative
to private land claims in New Mexico, were
laid before the house by the speaker and ap
propriately referred:
Speaker <’arlisle having left the chair and
having called upon Mr. Crisp to preside,
briefly requested the house to relievo hinu f
the responsibility of appointing the committee
on elections. He sniil that the early selection
of that committee by the house would greatly
facilitate the appointment of other com
mittees.
Immediately after adjournment the republi
cans held a short caucus and selected the fol
lowing as their members of the house election
commit lee. All are lawyers: Rowell, of
Illinois, Houk of Tennessee, Cooper of Ohio,
Lyman of lowa, Johnson of Indiana, and
Lodge of Massachusetts.
Half an hour after the adjournment of the
republican caucus, the democratic representa
tives met in caucus to choose tho majority’of
the elections committee.
Mr. Holman moved that Mr. Turner, of
Georgia, who was chairman of the committee
on oka tions during the last congress, be again
appinted to that position. Mr. Turner declin
ed. A oommittev was selected to choose tho
majority of the elections committee
and before it was declared, Mr. Hatch,
of Missouri, moved that the caucus
committee bo instructed to report Mr.
Turner’s name as chairman. Again Mr. Tur
ner declined, although tho vote on tho motion
was unanimously favorable and tho committee
retired to deliberate.
Their consultation lasted over an hour and |
considerable difficulty was experienced in the
task of election. Mr. Crisp, of (ieorgia, was
sent lor and asked to accept tho chairmanship,
which ho respect fully declined.
After further discussion, however, the eom
’ mittce insisted on its choice of Mr. Urisp as j
chairman ami reported his name to the can- 1
cits, together with tho names of the following 1
gentlemen to constitute the majority of tho I
committee on elections; Messrs. (Hiihwaite, i

Virginia: Maish, of Pennsylvania; O’Neali, I
of Indiana, Moore, of Texas; Johnson, of 1

CHAN BILD.
i ’Washington, December 13. Senator
i Chandler has introduced a bill to regulate the
1 holding of congressional elections in South
Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana.
; It provides for the appointment by the presi-
I dent,with the advice and consent of the senate,
! of four .sup< rvisorsjofjelcction for each congres
sional district in states to which the measure
applies, v, ho are required to sub-divide districts
into a sufficient number of voting precincts.
i In each precinct the circuit court of the United
I States is to appoint four inspectors and two
poll clerks, who are to make a registration of
1 voters and conduct congressional elections. The
| supervisors are to act as a canvassing board,
I to receive returns from tho inspectors and as
certain ami declare the result of the election.
I 'The supervisors, inspectors and poll clerks are
j to be divided equally between the two princi-
I pal political parties.
j The measure is made applicable only to the
; states of South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi,
' ami Louisiana. It is elaborately drawn, and
I contains minute provisions governing the
whole matter of registration and the conduct
of elections, together with penalties for elec
tion frauds.
To an associated press repertor, who asked
for an explanation of the theory and purpose
of the bill, Mr. Chandler said it w as drawn un
der the clause of the constitution which pro
vides that the times, places and manner of
holding elections for representatives in con
gress sliall be prescribed in each state by the
legislature thereof, but congress may, by law,
make or alter regulations. lie said constitu
tional power is ample either to pass a general
, law for all the status, or one applicable to a
number of states, or a special law in respect to
! any particular state. In reply to a query as
: to his purpose in limiting the operation of the
! measure to the four states named, he sail!:
It is my desire to secure, if possible, tho
passage of a national election law in those
slates wlicre t here “is a manifest and avowed
suppression of republican suffrage. In Lou
isiana the democratic lenders declare their in
tention not to allow the colored people to vote
tho republican ticket and have also asserted
their intention to settle this question without
j the slightest regard to northern sentiment on
j tho subject, lienee, I think that Loth north
ern sentiment and interests should lead to the
passage of laws to limit tho suppression of
suffrage to elections for state offices,” and give
us free suffrage for national offices.
Mr. (’handler said his measure did not cover
presidential electors for tho reason that the
constitution gave no authority for it. lie ex
pressed tho belief tiiat the bill, or a similar
one, w ill pass thesenate and hopes that it may
pass the honso.
MR. HOAR’S REPORT.
Washington, December 11.—In the senate,
Mr. Hoar, from the committee on privileges
and elections, presented a report in the West
Virginia case. Ho said that tho report was
unanimous. Tho questions raised were very
simple ones, and easily comprehended. One
of them had been long ago determined by the
senate, and he supposed that all the senators
had had occasion to reflect on the other. In
order that the senator entitled to tho seat
might enter at once upon his duties, he hoped
there would bo no objection to having the re
port disposed of at present.
Tho report was read nt length. It concludes
with two resolutions—one declaring that Da
vid 11. Lucas is not entitled to a seat, and the
other declaring that Charles J. Faulkner has
been duly elected senator from the state of
West Virginia for tho term of six years, com
mencing the fourth of March, 1887, and is en
titled to a seat in the senate as such senator.
The resolutions were agreed to, viva voce,
and the oath of office was thereupon adminis
tered to Mr. Faulkner.
The senate then took up the bill introduced by
Mr. Morrill to regulate immigration, and was
nditressi'il by ilmt senator in explanation and
advocacy of the bill. Its main object, he said,
to have the character of foreign immi
grants examined first by United States consuls
at ports of depnrture, instead of by state com
missioners nt ports of arrival. The foreign
idea, he said, teas that the United States in
vited free immigration, regardless of the char
acter of immigrants, but the American idea
was that it never really offered an asylum to
convicts, to irrcconcilcable enemies of law and
order, or to occupants of the old world’s insane
asylums and work houses. The doors were
left open only to persons of good moral charac
ter. The fact that nearly five million immi
grants had come to this country within the
last ten y ears proved that the question was
one ot very great importance. ’ The great
American principal of the free admission of
immigrants was not proposed to beabandoned;
but that principal had always been on the con
dition that the immigrants should ho of good
moral character and should be .able to support
themselves.
Ho referred to the fact that recently the
mayor of tho “Athens of America,” had pre
sided at a banquet, given in honor of the
champion slugger of the prize ring ; and that,
if not his will, at least the political necessities
of the mayor, had consented to that. 110 said
that seventy per eent of the population of Bos
ton was composed of persons of foreign birth and
foreign parentage, eighty per cent of the popu
lation of Aew York, and ninety-one per cent
of tho uopulation of Chicago; and these figures
might t>o aggravated by future immigration.
By the census of 1880, tlie population of. foreign
birth and parentage, was about 15,(KK),0<X); and
immigration since then, 4,34-1,000; so that,
without including children born of foreign
I parents since lsßo, there was now in this coun
try a foreign population of 19,340,000, or nearly
one-third of the entire population. Tills dis
closed the enormous attractive force
exerted by this country on the in
habitants of Kurope. 110 had lately
visited Castle Garden, in tho port of New York,
! where a vessel bad just arrived from Antwerp
, with six hundred immigrants, and tliosightho
' had witnessed suggested tlie doubt whether
i this country possessed the power to transform
, all of those immigrants into good and valuable
I American citizens. Ho quoted the reply of
. Mr. Balfour to a question m tho house of com
mons as to tlie government aiding emigration,
to the effect that the government would ripply
no more money to that purpose dur ng the re
mainder of the year. This, he said, was a neg
ative pregnant. Mr. Balfour had not said that
| pawslies or neighbors should not aid emi
i gratiou. At the end of the year
emigration might be aided by the British gov
ernment again unless tho fishery commission
; should implore Mr. Balfour to refrain from
putting briars in their path, while eumiiug
■ diplomacy was going on here. Tho paupers
of Groat Britain numbered very nearly a
round million, outside of the uncounted va
grants and casual paupers, wlio far exceeded
I the number of so-called paupers. Then'was
too strong a tendency in Europe to regard tho
I'nited States as a cesspool for tho vilest pro
ducts of the old world. Provident husbandry
demanded that young America should not lie
wholly deprived of its birthright. The meas
ure introduced by him was intended to regu
late immigration by a scheme so moderate as
to receive general approval.
A bill intredueed by Mr. Reagan in the sen
ate today, to regulate immigration, author
izes tho secretary if the treasury to appoint
•’.n pecto-.-s of immigration,” to ls> stationed at
such ports of entry as he may deem proper.
The secretary is directed to draft regulations
for the landing of passengers and to protect
them from imposition. I’ower is c nf. rw>d on
l inspectors of ininrigiation to Ui.ird vessels and
icmove iminigi.'inis temporarily for tho pur- '
pose of ascertaining win ther they are prohibit- ]
ed from landing bv this act. All unfit persons
arc to be kept v.nuer the surveillance of the
collector of tho port until returned to the 1
country whence they came, the ex|*enso of
flair iz ti rnto be borne by the owner es the
v«<<ols bringing them over. Before any
immigrant s’. 11 lie permitted to l.iml,

of agriculture, raises the department to the
dignity of an executive department, and pro
vides!'.,r the appointment of a secretary and
assistant secretary of agriculture. He also re
introduced liis bill of last session to jnevcnt
contraction in currency, and to increase the
l circulation of silver and silver certificates.
The interstate commerce commission today
I gave a bearing in the case of William 11.
Heard, a colored minister living in Charleston,
8. C., who complains that the Georgia Railroad
company,on June 8, 1887, compelled him to
ride in a coach of inferior accommodations,
although he had a first-class ticket.
TALKING ABORT THE TARIFF.
Washington, December 16.—1 n the house
Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, submitted a concur
rent resolution that when the two houses ad
journed on Monday, December 19, that they
stand adjourned until Thursday, January 5.
Mr. Reed, of Maine, inquired the reason for
the submission of this resolution.
Mr. Hatch replied that it was the usual reso
lution brought in at the first session of con
gress. The house had been in session since
the first Monday in December. It was well
known that nothing had been accomplished.
The’house was waiting for the speaker to an
nounce the committees, and he (Hatch) was
satisfied, from his personal knowledge and
from what he had seen of the occupation of the
speaker’s time by members interested in com
mittee assignments, that it was impossible
that committees could be announced until
after the holiday recess, as much in the inter
est of public business as for the comfort and
convenience of tlie speaker.
Mr. Reed said that the peculiar condition of
the business affairs of the country rendered the
action which had been taken, or rather non
action, which bad been suffered by' the demo
cratic side of the house, a matter of legitimate
comment, both here and before the country.
Take it all in ail, it was without precedent.
.Many changes in the rules of the house had
been suggested, but bad not been acted upon,
and yet it was proposed that the house adjourn
for the holidays, and commence after recess
where it had been tho custom to begin at the
opening of the session. If there were no mat
ters of public interest before the country, such
a course might awaken only passing comment,
but today congress was pressed upon by a seri
ous public duty, which was the reduction of
the surplus, which was coming into tlie treas
ury in a manner calculated, under the manage
ment of tho treasury department, to be an em
barrassment to the finances of the country.
All were agreed, at least on tho repub
lican side, that this surplus should
be reduced, and tho republicans
stood ready now to make a reduction, to
which the other side was agreed, and that was
in reference to tlie tobacco tax. Ho hoped
that opportunity would be given them by tlie
powers that be, or were to be, to vote thereon,
and show to the country- some proper disposi
tion in this regard. If tho gentlemen on the
other side found it somewhat difficult to ar
range themselves alongside of the recent mes
sage, which had been sent them, that the re
publicans could well understand, and could
give them assurances of most profound sym
pathy. [Laughter.] Tho message was to
some democrats a summons from a very great
ways off, and it required that they should tra
verse a very great distance before they could
get alongside of their pioneer brother at the
end of the avenue.
Mr. Hatch said he had hoped that he could
yield the floor to tlie gentleman from Maine,
without that gentleman improving his oppor
tunity to make a political harangue. He did
not think that the gentleman had improved it
much because lie had made the same old
speech'. If the gentleman had not had oppor
tunity, time and again, during the forty-ninth
congress to vote for the consideration of tho
tariff bill, and had not always voted against it,
there might be some sincerity in liis talk to
day. [Applause.] Time and again the dem
ocratic side of the house had tendered to the
other side an opportunity to reduce taxation
and the surplus in the treasury, but the gen
tleman from Maine, by his voice and his vote,
had always stood, as leader of his party, to re
sist it. The democratic side would give tlie
gentleman an early opportunity to ventilate
liis views on the tariff question, and vote for a
reduction of the tariff, if he wished to.
Mr. Reed—Why not now?
Mr. Hatch.—The gentleman knows why not
now, and the gentleman knows that that is
claptrap.
Mr. Cox, of New York, commented on what
ho termed the sudden conversion of the gentle
man from Maine. He did not think that there
had been such a sudden conversion since the
lime of Saul of Tarsus. [Laughter.] He did not
know why the gentleman should urge upon the
sneaker tho immature making up of commit
tees. Tlie house was without rules, and it had
no committee framed for tlie consideration of
the reduction of the tobacco tax. Ina matter
of so much consequence, the house should
give to the speaker tho same opportunity which
had been accorded other speakers. It was
known that tlie treasury had a plethora which
paralyzed the channels of trade and hurt the
farmer and artisan, and that there must bo
some relief; and it camo with little grace from
the gentleman from Maine to make this sin
ister and ironical and sarcastic objection to the
message of the president. He could recall tho
time when tlie most eminent men on the other
side of the house had insisted upon a reduction
of the tariff to prevent the accumulation of a
surplus. Among tlie rest had been the gallant
man from Maine with the white plume.
Among them had been Frye and Hale, insist
ing ou a reduction of the tax on salt and other
articles, except lumber.
Mr. Cox said there were members of con
gress from republican states, like Minnesota,
demanding a reduction of taxes, but this could
not be done by picking out ono article. It
must be general—it must be stable and perma
nent. He hoped that when tho tariff bill was
considered, all parties would unite and act for
the best interests of the whole people, and not
for the aggrandizement of one man, or one set
of men, or one party. [Applause.]
Mr. Mills, of Texas, offered as a substitute
for Mr. Hatch’s resolution, a resolution de
claring that when the two houses adjourn on
Thursday, December 22nd, they stand ad
journed until Wednesday, January 4th.
Secretary Lamar, today issued an order di
recting that all lands heretofore withdrawn
and held for indemnity purposes under grants
to the following named railroad companies be
restored to the public domain and offered to
settlement and entry under the general laws,
after giving the usual notice: The South and
North Alabama; Selma, Rome and Dalton;
and Alabama and Florida, in Alabama. Tlie
Florida, Atlantic and Gulf Central: Pensacola
and Georgia, and Florida aiid Alabama in
Florida, and several northwestern roads.
An important fact was ascertained tonight.
Messrs. Carlisle and Randall have held a long
conference within the past twenty hours and
Mr. Randall has decided to take a more con
ciliatory stop, which is to co-operate to some
extent with the speaker and his following.
This is authoritative,[for it comes directly from
the speaker through a prominent southern
senator.
It is said. too. that a North Carolina mem
ber will introduce a bill to repeal the tobacco
tax, and that the parly has decided to agree
to a decided reduction, if notan abolition. I
was told tonight that tho Georgia delegation
would support his bill, provided a $50,900,000
or $60,000,000 reduction was made in the tariff.
The republicans are credited with the inten
tion of introducing such a measure in regard to
tobacco to complicate the democratic situation,
but the bill of the North Carolinian will check
mate their intention. H. H. P.

AMERICA_ANDIRELAND
A Large Meeting in Washington
City.
RECEPTION OF ESMONDS AND 0’ CONNOR
■Washington, December 11.—Sir Thomas
Henry Grattan Esmonde and Hon. Arthur
O’Connor, leaders of the Irish home rule cause
in the English parliament, arrived in this city
this afternoon, escorted by a committee of
Washington Irish societies, who had gone to
Baltimore to meet them. The hall of
the temple was brilliantly illuminated
and tastefully decorated with American and
Irish flags and many huge buntings, while such
appropriate inscriptions as “Scotland, Waffs
and Ireland Demand Home Rule,” “American
Sympathy is with Ireland,” “Coercion is an
Outrage on tlie Spirit of Human Liberty,”
“Columbia Greets Gladstone and Parnell,”
ornamented the "rtage -and walls.
Upon the platfo’m were Senators Sherman,
Palmer, Ingallsand Hawley; Representatives
Collins, Bland, Herbert Outhwaite, Foran,
Lawler, O’Neil, of Missouri, Woodbury, Phe
lan, Crain, Kennedy, Parker, Nutting, J. D.
Taylor, and Brown, of Ohio; and McShane,
Fred Douglass and Thomas n. Welch, head of
the Irish movement in Washington. Senator
Ingalls was expected to preside, but he was
lato in arriving and Senator Sherman was se
lected as chairman. Senator Ingalls appeared
upon the platform shortly after Sherman began
speaking.
Mr. Sherman said that in appearing here to
night he was bound to say that he was neither
an Irishman, nor tho son of an Irishman, but
the trouble was that his ancestors had come to
this country so many years ago that it was ab
solutely immaterial whether they were Irish,
English, Scotch or ’Welsh, lie knew one
thing—ho was an American [applause], and as
an American, feeling himself free to speak not
only of matters concerning our national
affairs, but also as to the affairs of
friendly nations, he took pleasure in saying
that he believed he spoke tho general voice of
tho people of the United States in every part
of the union, when he said to the distinguished
guests that the sympathy of America went
forth fully and heartily in the strong desire
that they might have home rule in Ireland to
tho full extent demanded by Messrs. Parnell
and Gladstone. [Applause.]
In conclusion Senator Sherman said:
All we want, and all we pray for, is that Great
Britain may yield to our Irish brethren what they
desire and give them home-rule and the British
government from that day fb'.t i will bo stronger
than ever among the powers of the world. [Loud
applause.]
Mr. Ingalls, after the applause with which
he was greeted had subsided, said two illustri
ous Irish members of the British parliament
have crossed the ocean to tell the story of the
wrongs of Ireland.
“We have assembled this evening,” he said,
“in the shadow of tlie national capitol, for the
purpose of saying, so far as he could voice the
sentiments of the assemblage, that the cause
of Ireland is the cause of America. [Great
applause]; that in a deeper and wiser sense it
is not only the cause of the Irish, but of hu
manity itself. We have assembled for the
purpose of learning from these two illustrious
representatives of Irish sentiment apparently
what has been the result of seven centuries of
oppression of the Irish people by the govern
ing classes of Great Britain, and he said, were
he still more obscure a politician than ho was
he should not hesitate to say that if
called upon to choose between expressing
our sympathies for Great Britain or for’lreland
in this contest, no American citizen will long
hesitate as to what his preference shall be. Ho
did not understand, lie said, that Irish repre
sentatives of home rule desire to interfere with
the unity of tho British empire, but Great
Britain should not forgot that there is nothing
dangerous and so unprofitable as injustice;
Great Britain should not forget that
seven millions of people determined to
bo free can never be enslaved;
Great Britain should not forget that three mil
lions of citizens, in the original thirteen colo
nies, revolted and achieved their independ
ence under far less provocation than seven
millions of Irish people have endured for cen
turies. [Applause.] lij conclusion he said:
“I shall never cease to remember that in
that awful [period, there was not a battlefield
for American liberty which was not illustrated
by Irish valor ami consecrated by Irish blood.”
Representative Herbert, of Alabama, said
there were no people in this land who sympa
thize more intelligently and more sincerely
with Ireland than do the people of the south.
The south knows, he said, that whenever a
stranger rules the people mourn, and that is
what is the matter with Ireland.
In response to numerous calls Mr. Ingalls in
troduced Fred 1 touglass, who said that it was
not his hour. England did not want to know
what Fred Douglass had to say. 110 was only
emancipated a few years ago himself. He was
glad, however, of the opportunity to give color
to the occasion. [Laughter.] With every
other American of whatever color or class, he
was an out and out home-ruler.
The meeting was then declared adjourned
and as the band struck up a lively Irish jig the
crowd left the hall.
Shallenberger’s Pills claim to be an Anti
dote for Malaria. The props of this is in the
fact that cases treated unsuccessfully with
quinine or any other remedy—cases which
have resisted all other treatment—yield at
