After the transaction of the routine morning buint'Bs the Senate proceeded to the consideration of bills on thej cal endar Among the measures taken up was a join resolution authorizing the President to grant permission to one or more officers of the army to accept tem porary service under the government of Core, to instruct and drill its troops, the officers no! to- receive pay from the United States during their absence. Mrj Seawell , moved an amendment requiring that no. leave of absence under theV u thor i ty of th ejoin t'resolu tion should continue longer than three years This was agreed to. The joint resolution was then changed to the form of a bill and temporarily laid aside to give time for the preparation of an amendment sug gested by Mr! Ingallsj permitting such officer to receive pay from the govern ment j)f Corea. '' . j -Mri Morrill called up the House bill permitting : national ; banks to change their name, location and capital by a vote of two-thirds of their stockholders. After a long debate an amendment wps made' limiting the, right of a bank to change its location so that it shall not change to . another; State or to a place more than thirty miles distant from the original' location. The bill was then passed- The bill authorizing American offi cers to take service in Corea was again taken Up and passed I The dhcussion of the educational bill was then resumed and Mr. Blair ad dressed the Senate in reply to objections and criticisms made against it. He con tended thai the legislature of Alabama had given unanimous endorsement to the principle of the bill and to the bill itself so far as its essential features were concerned. He deuied that the people of the South were opposed to the meas ure and insisted that they favored it well. He dwelt at some length on the benefits to come, not only to the South, but to the entire country, from the removal of illiteracy in the South, i Among those beuefits to come to the South he inclu ded immigration and a consequent in creased activity and prosperity Mr. George said the house of repre sentatives of his State (Mississippi) had passed resolutions requesting the U. S. Senators from Mississippi to support thi measure. Mississippi was not here, however, ;as a suppliant of national bounty; It regarded the measure as a' generous offer from 'the Northern States teward-reinoving the illiteracy prevail ig in the South. ; Mr. George would be compelled, however, to decline the offer it. he believed j it to be unconstitu tional, j He cited a number of instances in which money had been appropriated from the national treasury to purposes not in any manner enumerated in the cohstitotion, which .amounts, u the theory- of fthe opponents of: this education bill were correct, had all been unlawfully and improperly paid! out. Among the itema specified by! i Mr. George were the following : The pur chase of the Louisiana Territory by Mr. Jefferson) the acquisition of Florida ; the purchase of Alaska; the payment of several thousand dollars to refund the amount paid by American citizens cap tured by Algerian pirates ; the appro priation of 850,000 in 1812, approved by- President Madison,: to relieve the people of Venezuela who had sutler ed from an earthquake Where did the Senators find authority for theso Sppro- priauoas on tneir tneory oi tne consu tution, and where in their view of the constitotion did the Senators find au thority' for the sending kf ships in 1847 to Ireland and ia,876. to France and Germany to r relieve the ; dis tressed people in those countries? In 176 we bad given' millions 4)1 monev to a centennial exposition. We had last year given a good deal of money; to the. New Orleans exposition. Where was the authority found in the constitution for any one of these acts, if not in the general welfare clause. ; VV here was 'authority found ; to establish the bureau of agriculture, send expeditions to explore the north pole, observe the transit of Venus, to tax the people to educate the Indians, to establish and maintain the Congressional library, to pay pensions 7 "1 am a estates rights, strict constructionist Democrat con tinued Mr. George, "and as my consis tency pas been assailed on this floor, mean ito prove that; I am with the fathers" in H their construction Air.

In ihe morning hour the Hooso passed the bill to annex the northern part of the Territory of Idaho to Wuhington Ternary ; t i Ou behalf of the committee on rail ways and canals, Mr. Murphy, of Iowa, called up and the House proceeded to consiuer in committee of the whole the IleuniDin canal bill. Mr. Murphy spoke in behalf of the bill, and said that the wheat raised 14 the six Western States which were in the neighborhood of the proposed cau ! could be transported i to the seaboard at a saving of six cents per bushel. If the K .vernnient of the United Stales would do its duty and construct this canal, the people !of the Northwest could save 50 per cent over the present rate of transportation,! and save enough in one year to build the canal two or three times over. At the expiration of the morning hour the bill went over and the. House went into committee of the whole on, the half gallon tax bill. Mr. Morrison stated that the purpose of the bill was to compel the payment of tax, at the time fixed by law and at the rate fixed bylaw, on all distilled spirits removed from distillery ware houses. From 1862 Ito .1868 the tax had been collected in cash, on gallons and fractions of gallons In 1868 a sys tem of collecting through stamps had been adopted, and it having been incon venient to have stamps for every frac tional part of a gallon, it was p ovided that not only gallons,: but parts of gal ions, should pay fifty cents tax. In 1872 it had been determined not to tax less than half a gallon at all, but tax half a gallon at gallon rate. It had turned out that widh a'vl . u cccaping taxation all parts of gallon were less than a half gallon, and the com uissiotter of internal revenue reported that in the past year this fraud had grown to such an extent that the packages which con tained less than half-gallon fractions exceeded those containing more than half-gallon fractions by 500.000, which I would amount to a loss of $250,000 to the government. - Mr. Wise, of Virginia, took the floor, and as it was known that he intended, to reply to the speech made some time ago by Mr. rady,ot Virginia, the members crowded around him to listen; He started with the statement that on the 16th inst. a night session had been or dered for the discussion of the Fits John Porter bill In violation of an implied if not an express understanding, he (Mr. Brady)- -but ha as not permitted to proceed further, for Mr. Brady impetuously interrupted him and ex claimed; "The gentleman in making that statement states what i not true. because I had a direct understanding not only with Mr. Springer, the chair man of the committee of the whole, but with the others." Before Mr. Wise eould make any re ply, Mr. Morrison came forward i and declared, indignantly : "We have had quite enough of this; irrelevant matter and I protest against It. I will ha7e no more of it." i Mr. Wise made another attempt to proceed, but he was; again interrupted by Mr Brady, with an exclamation that he had- been misrepresented here Mr. VV lse said that.he did not wish to imitate or follow the bad example of those who had gone before him. ; He wanted to declare that he wished to oc cupy the floor not upon the whisky bill. but m reply to hlg-'OOUaajrae s speech. Mr. Brady "That is what 1 stated with regard to the Fits John Porter bill before I made my speech.

The chairman replied that that was a question to be considered by the then chairman of the committee.

Ileid, who is a staunch friend of the measure and greatly interested in its enactment, we came to the conclusion that it will pats the House by a good round majority, although it will en counter considerable opposition from some of the Southern members on ac count of what they claim to be its doubtful constitutionality. It may be stated, therefore, as near a fact as an future contingency can be, that the bill will become a law during the present .Lsion of Congress, it being understood that President Cleveland will not with hold his signature. ,; Colonel GTeen on ''Chances." I have had a talk with Col. Wharton Green, the second member ) of the agricultural committee, who has interested himself so much and so effectively, it seems in the matter relative to the proposed cre ation of the department of agriculture and labor. The colonel assured me thai, in his opinion, there was hardly a doubt about the consummation of the plan. Ue also stated that frost signal stations would not only be established throughout the tobacco belt, but in other sections of the State where their establishment is either necessary or de sirable. , ' ; Anent Appropriations. It is proba ble that the House will devote the week to the consideration of . appropriation bills. The immediate deficiency bill is expected to ; be reported today and an effort will be made to secure its passage at once. The pension, and Indian bills are already on the calendar and it ' is probable that the army, consular and diplomatic and postoffice appropriation bills will be reported to the House dur ing the present week. This looks as though the distribution of the appro priation bills was a wite act. fo far as speed is concerned," at least, eh' CO-NGRKhSMlX's CONSTITLKNTS are becoming very dear to the political heart of those gentlemen just now. and the degree! of: affection will daily in crease until the nominating conventions have been held. Many members took advantage of the recess from Friday un til today to "run down homo' and do a little handshaking. As Judge Bennett remarked when a bill was introduced in the House, a short while ago. to prohibit Congressmen from soliciting patronage for constituents and to otherwise pro tect themselves from being "bothered:" " 'Constituents' are no more persistent in seeking offices through us than we are in soliciting their votes when election time comes around.'' The Judge- was right, too,'- and this characteristic re mark of his prompts me to say that they don't make many more candid, few bier, and no better men than Risden T. Bennett. .

Washington, Feb. 23. The House committee on naval affairs expect to report a bill sonie day this week which will be the initial of a se ries of measures designed to ! gives the United States a navy equal hi efneincy to that of any nation in the wOrJd. Num bers will not be so much the! object as to provide ships iwhich in all) respects will be models of modern naval warfare. The committee has heard elaborate statements from ; the secretary of the navy, Admiral :Porter, the heads of bureaus in the department and other eminent navy officers, and the testimony given by all of them will accompany the report of the committee. The commit tee estimate that $15,000,000 will be a 0 . V - a proper sum ior this uongressi to appro- filiate as a beginning, of "which $7,4 500,000 will be provided foe in the bill shortly to be reported, with an under standing that a like amount shall be appro priated next year. It was decided not to adopt the idea; of the heaviest iron clads of England, as vessels Of that size, so Admiral Porter told the committee. draw so much water that there are probably only two harbors On our whole Atlantic coast they could enterPort land, in Maine, and Fort Royal, m South Carolina. -Admiral Porter said England had more than onei iron-clad which, while it could not get into our harbors, could lay off Coney Island and utterly destroy Brooklyn, if not New York. To meet such vessels as this it would be best to provide for torpedo boats, which make their attacks under cover of j darkness. The determinina tion not to recommend the construction of vessels of the heaviest class was influenced by the consideration that such vessls have no other capacity than to ngbt, their movements trei slow and speed is lost sight of. Secretary Whit ney in his remarks to the ; commttee favored the creation of a plant at one of the navy-yards sufficient to produce? heavy ordnance,; armor plates- steel shafts, &o. This idea the committee will in all probability adopt and recom-i mend a liberal appropriation,1 Bay per- hips 250,000, for this purpose Five large vessels will be recommended to be constructed, one at a government i v . . i i . . t i i : yara nereaiier to pe aeterminea upoD, and four to be given out by private con tract; these fite vessels to be of from six to eight thousand: ton, to be heavily armored and equipped with.the mo: powerful armament attainable, and to have the capacity of not only .lighting, but of running if necessary. As a mem ber of the committee said today : "We want these cruisers to be so constructed as to give a: good account of themselves un ler auy circumstances, put to be able to show their heels to the enemy if con fronted bv an overnowerinQ force, and not be helpless to escape destruction like the monster iron-clads of some of tne European powers in similar circum stances."

The lockout assumed -a new McCormick aspect at a secret mass meetinir of thef emploVf e held last night. There were present about eight hundred employees of the reaper factory. The session was a stormy one and results in the adoption of a series of resolutions to the following purport : That a board be appointed, composed of representatives! of tie dif ferent trades, to which everything per raiuing to a settlement shall be referred. That no proposition will be jentertained not looking to the reopening Of the works with' union men in ail departments. That the McCormick firm sign a guaran tee limiting the powers of the super intendent in discharging men who work in the interest of the organized labor molders and metal workers. , The men pledged themselves to stand "to gether in consummating their purposes. 1 he ; adoption of these it is feared does the hones of an earlv resolutions . a away witn settlement. The presiding officer said that on and after today the Knights of Labor Would prevent any cars or stock of any . de- scription from being taken to or from the works. This action gives the lock out members of the Knights of Labor the right to call upon the local assem blies 4 for aid and it ia clearly evident that such aid will be required at no dis tant day. To feed and clothe 1,300 uinn and others affected by the lockout for twelve months will cost; it ia esti mated, not less than $1,000,000, but the men say that money will be 'forth coming if necessary.
