Alexander B. Lawton, of Georgia, to Aus tria-Hungary. Bayless N\ . Hanna, of Indiana, to the Ar gentine Republic. 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 of Ohio; Barry, of M ississippi; O’ La, rail, of 1 Virginia: Maish, of Pennsylvania; O’Neali, I of Indiana, Moore, of Texas; Johnson, of 1 I North Carolina, and 1 Irani, of Slisstaui. i The caucus accepted the report and ad journed.

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, the mast, r of the ve-sel shall produce a l.e is not deported for crime, is nut 'a pauper, lions or autlioiize<’. guard ;.i,s. is not an assist ed immigrant, r.rd is not under contract to lal*or in t-.c I lined Stat 's. I M XK-AN V. sr.teu i.iso v’enr S S>l sPnirnU > largo the powers and duties of the department J 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.

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.
