WATSON ;25rT anoo spools COTTON I - . CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY THE HOUSE. IN METITIONS AGAINST TARIFF BET1SION JUDGE KELLEY MAKES AN EXPLANA TION OTBEB NEWS. , Washington, Feb. 29 Senate. Several petitions and remonstrances were presented against any revision of the present tariff, or any legisla tion tending to cripple the industries of the country. They came from the bodies representing the iron and steel, haymaking and wool and wool manu facturing industries, and were re ferred to the committee on finance. Mr, Sherman, from the committee On foreign relations, reported the bill to amend the acts relating to Chinese immigration - and said he would as soon as practicable ask the Senate to take action on it. Calendar. , The bill to provide for the com pulsory education of Indian children was taken from the calendar- Mr. Test's bill of . last session having a similar object was substituted for it and it was passed after having been amended on motion of Mr. Call so as to include the Indians of Florida within its provisions. The bill makes it the duty of the Secretary of the In terior to establish under such rules and regulations as he may think proper, an industrial boarding school on every Indian reservation upon which there may be located any In dian tribe numbering five hundred or more adult Indians. The Secretary is to cause an enumeration of chil dren of such Indians between the ages of 8 and 18 years to be made at least once every two years and to cause such children to be placed in the schools so established and there kept for a period not exceeding five . years. The chil dren so placed in such schools are to be taught, in addition to reading, writing, arithmetic and geography, useful labor. The males are to be instructed in agricultural pursuits, the care and management of stock, poul try and general farm work, and are also to be taught some useful mechan ical trade, and the girls ore to be in structed in household work, sewing, the care of poultry and other em ployment suitable to their sex. The Secretary of the Interior may, when the parents or natural guardians of such children refuse or neglect to send them to the schools established or controlled by the Interior Depart ment and to keep them there in ac cordance with the rules and regula tions bade by the Secretary, with hold rations and annuities from the parents or natural guardians of such children or from the tribe until there shall be proper compliance with the rules prescribed by the Interior De- partment. Nothing in the bill con tained is to prevent the education of Indian children in schools outside the reservations with te consent of their parents or guardians and no provis ions of the act are to apply to the five civilized tribes or to the Oaage In dians of Indian Territory. "The pro- vision$ of tho bill are extended to the Seminole and. Creek Indians of Flor ida. . The dependent pension bill was then uken up. v Mr. f Wilson, of lows, moved an amendment to insert the words "frum infirmities of' age," so as to pension all ex-soldiers suffering "from infirm ities of age, or from mental or physi cal disability. In the debate which took place on toe amendment Mr. Plumb delivered ah eloquent eulogy on the army, re ferring particularly to the fact that when- the war closed the army could have placed one of its leaders at the head of the government, and could have dictated its own terms, but it had asked nothing except to be per-, mitted to disband and return to peaceful avocations. He did not think that any patriotic man, any man who looked with patriotic fervor on that portion of the country's history when two millions ol men sprang to arms to maintain the govern ment, . would ever be willing to oppose the enactment of any law whereby any of the men should be drawn from the ban of poverty and given f at least a decent livelihood The bill, as it came from the commit tee, was, perhaps, a step in the right direction. It was not what it ought to be, and he had sought to make i better, There was to be, he said, no insinuation in the Senate or elsewhere that the Union soldiers were to be beneficiaries under the bill in the sense of being supplicants or un worthy persons. He did not think that partisanship would go that far. and if it did he believed that the American people would refute it Congress was not now dealing with slender resources, but was dealing with abundance. Les than the pend ihg bill proposed, would not be just more was not asked for. Mr. Vest said that he had not the slightest idea when he spoke on Mr Wilson's amendment of producing the burst of patriotic, - fervid eloquence which the Senate had lust listened to. They had heard a good dea about : almshouses and veteran sol diers, i In the State of Missouri there were no Federal soldiers in alms houses, and tie was proud to say that there were no Confederate soldiers in the almshouse either. When Gen. Lee surrendered at Appomattox there were but eight thousand mus kets left of that splendid army which had faced the world in arms and which bad been battered and beaten back i by overwhelming numbers. Oat jof companies which had gone into that terrible struggle, from 125 to 180 strong, only tten had gone back to their kindred and their lioineg ine aouth today was ooverejd with maimed and crippled soldier8 who had been shelled and fabre Struck for their honest convic tions and they asked for no pension and would not take it, God be bless.-J. They were not in the almshouse, and hone of them had ever been seen begging for bread. Whence, then, came the talk of Federal soldiers in almshouses? They were not there. He was tired and sick of the insinua tions of robbery and pretence and Hypocrisy in the name oi tne true and gallant soldiers of the Union. He had personal fiiends among them and, as he had said before, he would give to every disabled or dependent soldier of the Federal army and widows and orphans of those who had ost their lives in the service tne last acre of land and the last dollar. He would have done the same for the Confederate soldiers "if God had TTTI . 1 11 .1 Diessed our cause. w ny taiK mat Congress had not done enough for the Union soldiers when the country had paid out since 1865 eight hundred and eighty-three million dollars for pensions a liberality unparalleled in the history of the world 1 The Sen ate had been told today that the country owed the soldiers a debt of eternal gratitude because they had not, . with mailed hand, seized the Government. The great military and political organization the G. A. R. had thrown its lance into the debates of Congress and had sent bills to their accredited Senators for the purpose of being enacted. When the President of the United States had honestly and bravely discharged his executive duty and vetoed an enactment which he considered improper, he had been threatened by officers of that organ ization with personal insult if he dared to make his presence known in the city where it held its annual meeting. There was a limit to human endurance. He had vetoed the pension bills not because he ha 1 been . a confederate but because he was honestly anxious for the honor and glory of the coun try. He had vetoed them because he wanted to show to the world that the men who had acted in unfortu nate strife respected !he gallant soldiers of the union and were wil ling to give them e en more than they demanded. "But," he repeated with strong emphasis, "there is a limit and I have reached it." and ; will be driven no farther by the claim agents and the plunderers in the garb of sol diers." For the honest and brave and real soldiers of the Union army he was willing to vote any amount of pensions. In this city is a corps of men engaged in inventing legislation to take more money out of the Fed eral treasury. The report of the Commissioner of Pensions shows that When the arrears of pensions act of 1879 was passed there were some thirty thousand applications for pen sions pending. The very next year the number of applications jumped to 110,000. jClaim agents in vented that law and put the limita tion On it, and the number of appli cations for pensions jumped in one year from 30,000 to 110,000, and the amount of disbursements from thirty millions to fifty-seven millions. Mr. Vest went on to say that of 2, 300,000 men enrolled as soldiers dur ing the four years of war there were applications from 1.200,000 for pen sions on account of disability. Such military execution (he said) had never been known in the history of the whole world The Confederates had thought that they had poor pow der and ordnance stores and yet,mak- ing due allowance for effect of the cli mate in producing disability, it would appear that one Confederate soldier, half clothed and half fed, had disa bled three of his adversaries. There had been no such destruction in mili tary ' annals since the children of Israel marched through the wilder ness destroying whole nations in a ingle day. After - further brief speeches from Messrs. Teller and Plumb, Mr. Wil son, of Maryland, a member of the commtitee on pensions, declared him self opposed to the bill as it now stood amended. He gave the figures of the enormous amount paid in pen sions and thought the people were pposed to any further extension of the pension system; it wa3 time to call a halt The bill as originally reported would make the pension list amount he said, to one hundred million dol lars, and with the amendment put on to it the amount expended would be one hundred and twenty-five millions of dollars, and probably more. Without taking a vote on the bill or the pending amendment the ben- ate proceeded to executive business, and at 5.30 adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, rising to a question of personal privilege, sent to the clerk's desk and had read a dispatch from Washington to Boston paper in which he was given as authority for the statement that it would be the policy of the Itepubli cans of the House to obstruct the passage of any tariff measure before the meeting of the national conven tion at St. Louis. He owed it, he said, to his Republican colleagues as well as to himself to say that be had not indicated such a policy for them or for himself. He had made no statement from which any fair- minded and honorable man could reach such a conclusion. When the Republicans chould be called upon to consider tne drait or project oi a tariff bill (which they heard was be ing prepared) it would be time for them to determine their policy. Mr. Holman, of Indiana, from the committee on public lands, reported the bill to secure to actual settlers the public lands adapted to agricul ture and to protect the forests of the public domain. Printed and recom mitted. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Bur rows, of Michigan, in the chair) for the consideration of the bill author izing the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase bonds with the surplus revenue ' Mr. Mills, of Texas stated that the Secretary of the Treasury had been authorized by the law of the 3rd of March, 1881, to purchase or redeem bonds with the surplus money in the treasury, but this authority had never been exercised. The fact that the authority had been given in the appropriation bill seemed to raise a doubt whether it exUnded beyond the i period covered by that bill. The Secretary of the Treasury had, prior to last June, bonds subject to call sufficient to employ the surplus money and after that time he could purchase bonds for the sinking fund. As it was a doubtful question whether the Secretary could uiatfct large mm pur that officer preferred to remit the question to the law-making power. If Congress intended that he should use the sur plus I in purchase of redemp'ion it should invest him with undoubted authority to do so. Then followed a long and interest ing political debate, in which the Re publican members assailed the finan cial policy of the President, whom alone; they held responsible in not using the surplus in the purchase of bonds after the 3 per cents had been redeemed. They held that full power had existed under the appropriation bill of March 3, 1881, and to pass the pending resolution would add noth ing tb his power. The chief Repub lican speakers were Messrs. McKin ney, Reed, Kelley and Weaver. Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, was tne foremost champion of the administra tion, j He asserted that whatever re sponsibility there was for the neces sity of the pending resolution, it lay as much with Congress as with the executive branch of the government, and in a large measure with Republican members of the Forty-ninth Congress, who had voted not to consider the tariff bill during last session. He assured his Republican friends that they would soon have as much tariff legislation to consider as they cared for. Mri Breckenridge was supported oy Messrs. Randall and Hooker. The debate continued until the hour for the special order arrived, and was then contirued half an hour. At its conclusion Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, offered the following amendment which was accepted by Mr. Mills: "Provided that bonds so purchased or redeemed shall consti tute no pirt of the sinking fund, but shall o cancelled by the Secretary of the Treasury." MrJ Bayne, of Pennsylvania, then offered an amendment repealing all laws imposing taxes upon snuff and cigars or other manufactured tobacco, and upon dealers and peddlers of the same.; Mr.j Bayno's amendment was ruled out on a point of order raised by Mr. Mills.; The committee then arose and re ported the bill to the House and jit was passed, together Jwith Mr. Mc Creary 's amendment, without divi sion. The following is the text of the bill: That the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby, authorized to apply the surplus money now in the treasury and such surplus money as may hereafter be in the Treasury and not otherwise appropriated, or bo much thereof as he may consider pro- er totho purchase for redemption of S.i bonds: Jfrovided that bonds ' t it bo purchased or redeemed snau constitute no part of the sinking fund, but shall be cancelled by the Secretary of the Treasury.' Mr.j Docker y called up and the House passed the bill relating to postal crime3. It provides for tlie fin9 and imprisonment of any person who gives false evidence' as to the character of any publication for the purpoee of securing its admission to the mails as second class matter, and for the) punishment of persons forging or fraudulently changing money or ders' and postal notes Eulogies upon the late Representa tive Moffatt, of Michigan, were then pronounced and the House adjourned.

THEIR STRIKE APPARENTLY EXTENDING WESTWARD. DI88ATISF ACTIOS REPORTED ON THE ATCH ISON, TOPEE A AND SANTA FE- SYS TEM OTHEB NEWS. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Chicago, Feb. 29. Emporia and Topeka dispatches printed here this morning assert that dissatiofaclion exists among the engineers on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe system, who, it is stated, claim that the com pany has not lived up to its agree ment. When these dispatches were shown to officials of the Brotherhood in this city they declared it was the first thoy had heard of it and they did no believe the eport was true. Had their men had . any grievances they would have heard of it at least as soon as the newspapers. No com plaints whatever have br n made by the lodges on the Atc'uiaon system. UniUxl states Marshal Marsh has no official notification calling upon him to take any measures whatever in re lation to the strike on the C. B. & Q. road. So far there has. been no in terruption beyond trivial and indirect delay to the transmission of the U. S. mail, and no obstruction in this direc tion is apprehended. Thirty-two en gineers in charge of a Burlington agent arrived on the Pennsylvania road last night. The agent would not say where they came from, but from remarks dropped by some of them it is understood that they are part of a consignment from the Read ing road. Another surburban train was in op eration this morning. All trains coming into and going from the un ion depot were practically on time The fast mail west went out in good shape at three o clock this mormug. POSITION OT THE K. OF L. EHOINEERS. Pittsburg, Pa., February 29. Tbe Knight of Labor engineers of the Reading Railroad have clearly out lined their policy. According to an interview with one of the engineers they will take the places of the Bur lmgton strikers, and will promise Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood, to return to their homes if he calls his engineers off the Reading and Brook lyn Elevated roads.- Five car-loads of engineers and firemen passed through the city this morning en route to Chicago. There were '300 in the party and they were nearlv all : Knights of Labor and mostlv former employees of the Read ing road. They were a fino looking body of men la an interview one of them said : "The statement that has been pub lished of there being 300 Knight of Labor engineers out on the Reading is correct. Tho balance are to follow us. The Brotherhood engineers are filling every place. You see this party t How can you blame us for going to work on the Burlington sys tem T We are not going as Anights of Labor, but as individuals. . Every man in the party is an experienced engineer and each of us has with him his fireman, so that a question cannot be raised as to whether we are com petent to take the places of the strikers. We are compelled to make this move. We could get work no place else. It is a question of home and family with us. On the Reading road the Brotherhood jumped in ard assisted the company to defeat us, and now we go to Chicago to take the places of their own men. There are 360 men who were in Reading who may all go to Chicago." William H. Bailey, of the execu tive board of the Knights of Labor, was a passenger on the same train that brought the engineers to the city this morning. He did not sanction their move, but thought they had been treated very badly by the Brotherhood. He stated that he was not with the party, but that it was purely accidental that he was on the same tram that brought them to Pittsburg. Last night, however, while on the train, he mingled with the men and obtained from them their exact position, as they talked freely to him, whom they recognized as a represen'ative ot the rvnignts oi Labor. Mr- Bailey intimated that while the order did Dot sanction members taking the places of the strikers the proper course for the Brotherhood to pursus was for Chief Arthur to call his engineers off the Reading and Brooklyn .Elevated roads and then the Knights of Labor and the Brotherhood could each handle their own strike. "I am very sorry, said he, "to be compelled to say that the men are going to Chicago to take the places of the strikers on the Burlington sys tem, but I do not know whether they will claim allegiance. It is a deeper ate move on their part and one ' that is to be deplored by all having the interests of organized labor at heart Yet it seems to be only a desire for retaliation on their part for wrongs that have been committed upon their interests. THE SOAD GAINS A POINT. Taking the number of trains moved during the day as a criterion the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad inav be said to have made considerable headway dur ing the past twenty-four hour, in furnishing accommodations for their enormous passenger traffic, and to have gained a point on tbe Broth erhood and so flattering do the offi cials of the road consider their pros pects that they predict a resumytion of their entire passenger service with in the next two days. The supply dalfw men comes from out of Town I and every train over the Pennsylvania road brings number from the Reading regions nearly all, according to the company s story, are competent in every Way to take the places vacated by the strikers.

Dey yain't no airthly na 6 whain dey git rusted." Tkt Proposed Tariff BUI. Washington Cor. Baltimore Sun. 28th. News circles are rife with specula tion about the tariff bill to be re ported from the committee on ways and means. The Democratic mem bers of the committee have been very industrious of late, and it is under stood have agreed upon a bill which may be submitted to the full commit tee tomorrow, certainly sometime this week. The programme is to place the bill before the committee and then report il to the House, with the understanding that it it is to be referred back to the committee for further consideration. Two or three weeks, perhaps longer, will elapse before the bill will get back to the House. Meantime the Republican members of tho committee are ex pectud to prepare a bill exbracing their views, and Mr. Randall may in troduce a bill on his own account. The bill to ba first reported from the committee will have the stamp of Chairman Mills upon it. The best information about the measure is that it will make wool free. This will be a cardinal feature. The tariff on steel rails will be reduced from $17 to 411 per ton. Pig iron goes down from $6 72 to $6 or lower. Iron ores, lum ber and salt are to go on the free list. Sugar is to be reduced twenty to twenty five per cent. The common woolen goods go on the free list, and the tariff on the medium grades is re duced. The best grades are allowed to stand as they are now. These are somo of the salient features. The whole law has been gone over, and extensive reductions have been made. In addition to this the bill takes off all tho internal tax on tobacco except oa manufactured cigars and cigarettes. This would do away with the hardship now imposed upon the tobacco growers in prohibiting: them from selling to any person but a li censed dealer. In short, the grower would be relieved entirely from the government espionage. The bill also takes the tax from fruit, brandy and all fruit distillations, and from alco hol used in the arts. The main feat ure of i he present law taxing whiB ky and beer, is set down to remain as it is. An administrative feature of the bill is the abolition of the bonded feature. Distillers are not to be re quired to pay the tax till their pro duction is taken out of the bonded warehouse, and they will not be re quired to take it out at the end of three years. Those who have made a close study of the views and methods of Mr. Randall expect him to intro duce a bill knocking out the tobacco tax and reducing; the tax on whisky from 90 to 50 cents He agrees with ' tbe Mills bill on somo things, but will let wool and coal remain as they are, and reduce the duty on common woolen goods. It is intimated that Mr. Randall will iutroduce a bill be fore tho republicans get their bill ready, and that it will be a measure that, with a few trilling amend ments, can command the support of tha republican Congressmen. The present movement in he tariff cam paign is regarded as being only a skirmuh. The great battle is a long way on, and thcte are still many peo pie who think Ibat nothing, will be done by Congress. The republicans will probably labor assiduously to prevent the passage of any bill re ducing taxation before the holding of the democratic national convention. Their pollicy will be to embarrass the democrats at e very step in all . kinds of legislation, aud the democratic margin is so saall toat tbe republi cans wi.l find it easy to make trouble The Clio wan Farmers.
