Proceedings of the Second Ses¬
sion of the 51st Congress.
SENATE.
The Nicaragua (a ial bill was taken up
in the senate Thursday as unfinished bus
arguments made against it. Edmunds, Speeches
were also made by Messrs.
Gray, Vest and Turpie. An effort was
made to reach an agreement upon a time
for taking a vote on the bill. The con
ference report on the navy appropriation
hill was presented and agreed to after a
statement by Mr. Hale that the senate
amendments were agreed in the confer
ence report. Adjourned. Davis, the
On motion of Mr. senate,
after the transaction of routine busi
ness, Friday morning, proceeded to the
consideration of pension bills unobjected passed
to. There were 130 pension bills
in forty-five minutes. The senate then
proceeded to the consideration of the
Nicaragua canal bill, giving a guarantee the
of the United States government to
company's 4 per cent bonds to the amount
of $100,000,000. The bill was read in
full, and Mr. Edmunds announced that
in the absence of the chairman of the
committee on foreign relations (Mr.
Sherman), it became his duty to take
charge of the bill. Mr. Vest took the
floor in opposition to the bill—not, he
said, from any hostility to the Nicarague
canal, but because he thought it of im
portancethat in considering the pend
ing bill, the relations between Great
Britain and the United States in regard
to interoceauic communication across the
isthmus should be considered. Mr. Vest
argued that the bill throughout, from
beginning to end, goes United upon
the assumption that the
Scates is to control that canal.
Mr. Davis opposed the hill for the rea¬
son, among others, that the instrumental¬
ities by which it was proposed to have
the canal constructed were objectionable.
It was his opinion that, if the canal was
to be constructed at all, it should be
done by the government directly in its
sovereign capacity, through its corps of
engineers. Mr. Edmunds replied to what
he called the earthquake theory of oppo¬
sition to the bill. The committee had
not been oblivious to the danger from
earthquakes. The committee knew that
earthquakes occurred in Central Ameri¬
ca, as they occurred in San Francisco and
Washington and Charleston, S. C. No
one had ever hesitated to go into any
public work that was deemed useful, on
account of the possible danger of a cata¬ it.

defense and advocacy of the bill.

short executive session, adjourned.

HOUSE.
The exceptional action of the house
Thursday, in holding two distinct legis
lative session on the same calendar day,
give rise to some confusion Friday morn¬
ing as to what journal should be read. A
brief debate arose, which resulted in the
journal of Thursday night’s proceedings
being read and presented approved. Mr. petition Flower, of
of New York, the
H. B. Claflin and other merchants of New
York in favor of reciprocity with Canada;
referred. Mr. Cannon, from the commit
on rules, reported a resolution for the
immediate consideration of business re¬
ported by the committee on judiciary—
the first bill to be taken up to be the bill
for the relief of the supreme court, -with
senate amendments, and the next bill to
fix the salaries of United States
judges. Mr. Breckinridge, of Ken¬
tucky, raised the question of con¬
sideration. The house decided—yeas,
113; nays, 79—to consider the resolution.
Mr. Cannon then took the floor, stating
that he would say but a few words as to
merit of the Mr. Mc-
Milliu inquired whether the object of the
gentleman in saying a few words was not
to prevent the forty-minute debate al¬
lowed under the rules after the consider¬ previous
question was ordered. After
able wrangling, the resolution was finally
agreed to—yeas, 155; nays, 4; nnd under
its provisions the court bill was immedi¬
ately taken up for consideration. The
reading of the senate amendment fixed was
concluded at 2:30 o’clock—the time
for the ordering of the previous question question
—and the speaker put the
whether the senate amendment should be
non-concurred in. The speaker announced
that the senate amendment had been non
concurred in and a conference was or¬
dered. The house then proceeded to the
consideration of the bill fixing the sala¬
ries of United States district judges. Mr.
McMillin opposed the bill as being ex¬
travagant in its appropriations. He had
never seen anything history like the prodigality of
this, congress in the of the couutry.
M|PCheudie, of Indiana, also opposed
tLe bill, regarding It as a stepping stoae
towai’ds an increase of the expenses of
the taxpayers of the country. Mr. Cas¬
well, of Wisconsin, spoke in favor of the
bill, holding that adequate swlaries should dis¬
be given to judges of United S’atcs
trict courts. The house substitute war
withdrawn, leaving the senate bill in its
oiiginal district form, providing shall that the $5,000 salaries
of judges be pes
annum. Mr. McMillin offered an amend¬
ment reducing the salary to, $4,000. To
this J. D. Taylor, of Ohio, offered an
amendment, providing that the salaries
of district judges shall be increased $500.
On Mr. Taylor’s motion no quorum voted,
and under the rules, the house took a
recess until 8 o’clock, the evening session
co “ i,ic "“ i °° ot prI "'“
The house was in a bad humor Satur
day morning, and several lively little
tilts occurred among the members. The
democrats followed their tactics of delay
by demanding the reading of Fithian the journal
in full. Several times Mr. inter¬
rupted the reading, declaring that the
clerk was skipping some of the names on
roll call. This, upon authority of the
clerk, the speaker stated to be incorrect.
The clerk proceeded interrupted with by his Mr.Springer, task, when
he was again he reading
who stated that was only the
numbers of pension bills passed Friday
r ,he r*-. After a brief
controversy the speaker stated that the
clerk was reading exactly what was fur
nished him by the journal cferk There
had been no time to till in the titles. A
lively and somewhat heated debate fob
lowed regarding the manner in which the
journal was made up. The journal was
finally approved, of and Lnited the senate States dis- bill

NOTES.
The copyright bill, as it passed the
senate Thursday is not in a shape to
satisfy those most interested. Its advo¬
cates, however, expect the conference
committee to correct the inconsistencies.
The bill providing for increasing the
salaries of all tederal district judges to
$5,000 a year passed the house in the rush
Saturday. It has already passed the sen¬
ate, and now only needs the president’s
signature to become a law.
Wesley Lewis and Henry Jackson were
lynched by a mob on Saturday night at
Dent’s Thfcy swamp, near Brunswick, Ga.
had been tried in the morning at
Sterling for the murder of Mr. C. Jordan,
of that place, and were found guilty.
They were on their way to Brunswick in
charge of a posse, when the mob sur¬
rounded them and hanged them in the
woods.
Washington’s birthday was appropri¬
ately celebrated at the Capital Monday by
a parade of civil and military organiza¬
tions, which passed in review before
President Harrison. The “Oldest Inhab¬
itant Association” observed the day in
their time-honored way by listening to
the reading of Washington’s inaugural
address. All the executive departments
were closed, and after 12 o’clock business
was generally suspended.
The nomination of ex-Gov. Foster, of
Ohio, to be secretary of the treasury,
which the president created sent to little the surprise, senate
Saturday afternoon,
as it had been generally expected. Irre¬
spective of party, the pullic men at the
capital commended the selection, and
from the number of complimentary things
which were said of Gov. Foster, it is evi¬
dent that he is quite as popular among is
the politicians of other States as he
among those of Ohio.
THE HOSPITAL DESTROYED.
Three Hundred Patients Miracu¬
lously Saved.
Further particulars received Monday
of the Rochester fire report the loss at
$65,000. Fireman Frank Jayne was
fatally hurt by falling irom a ladder.
None of the hospital patients were injured. There
were in the 300 patients, nine¬
teen sisters and fully that number of em¬
ployes. The inmates were in all stages
of disease and many were unable to get
from their beds. Immediately the fire
was discovered and an alarm given a
scene of the wildest confusion ensued.
Tho corridors were filled with a terrified
crowd of patients, some clad only in
night clothes and all trembling in abject
terror. Never before did women work
more nobly than did these sisters, and to
them alone should go the major portion
of the credit of saving the lives of the
patients. The insurance on the hospital
building is $20,000, or $22,000.
IS IT “JACK?”
A Man Arrested as the White
ehappel Murderer.
A London dispatch of Monday, says:
The latest discovery made by the metro¬
politan police in connection with the
Whitechapel murder Friday morning last,
by which the woman known as “Carroty
Nell,” lost her life, bids fair to connect
the man, Sadler, now in custody, with
the “Jack the llipper” crime, The
metropolitan police now have in their
possession a sharp, dangerous-looking
knife, stained with blood and showing
traces of having recently been washed.
This formidable knife has been traced to
■the possession of Sadler, who was a fire¬
man on board of a steamer, which recently
arrived from Turkey.

“German
Syrup”
G. Gloger, Druggist, Watertown, of
Wis. This is the opinion a man
who keeps a drug store, sells all
medicines, conies in direct contact
with the patients and their families,
and knows better than anyone else
how remedies sell, and what true
merit they have. He hears of all
the failures and successes, and can
therefore judge : i i I know of no
medicine for Coughs, Sore Throat,
or Hoarseness that had done such ef¬
fective work in my
Coughs, family as Boseliee’s
Sore Throat, German Syrup. East
winter a lady called
Hoarseness, at my store, who was
suffering from a very
severe cold. She could hardly talk,
and I told her about German Syrup
and that a few doses would give re¬
lief; but she had no confidence in
patent medicines. I told her to take
a bottle, and if the results were not
satisfactory I would make no charge called
for it. A few days after she
and paid for it, saying that she
would never be without it in future as
a few doses had given her relief. ’' ©
