The Speaker pro tern, laid before the

Mr. MeKinley, of Ohio, secured
the unanimous consent of the Hou-e
to have printed in the Record a mem

proposed by Mr. Mills' tariff bill.
Mr. Randall from the committee

vate pension and political disability
bills, i Under the terms of the reso
lution the House is required to take
a recess at five o'clock Fridays and
to re-assemble at 7:30 o'clock, the
evening sessions to be adjourned not
later tnan 10:3U o'clock. .Resolution
adopted. The House at 1:30 went
into committee of the whole on the
private calendar, Mr. Hatch of Mis
souri in the chair.
The committee resumed the con
sideration of the "omnibus" bill, which
provides for the payment of thirty
odd claims for supplies used for the
army during the war, reported by the
Court of Claims under the provisions'
of the Bowman act.
Mr. i Lee, of Virginia, offered an
amendment appropriating $20,000 for
the relief of the Protestant Episcopal
Theological Seminary and High
School of Virginia.
Mr. Brewer, of Michigan, thought
that the amendment which provided
for the payment of rent would prove
a very dangerous precedent if it were
enacted into a law. It would be fol
lowed by thousands of claims asking
for compensation for the occupation
of the : schools and churches in the
South. i
Mr. Lee advocated the movement
as an act ci justice and .thought that
the time had come when the animosi
ty of War should have passed away.
The institution was an old one and
had alumni in every part of the Uni
ted States and throughout- the whole
war it had .been within the Federal
lines. No Confederate soldiers had
ever passed Over its gronns, and the
majority t its faculty had remained
under the jurisdiction of the United
States.!

ment never had touched ; such a
claim as this and never ought to.
The property was within a seceded
State, i It it was an organization for
public purposes, it could not be ex
empted from the action of Virginia
when she went out of the union, it
it was a private corporation, it was
affected by the political sentiments of
its owners.1 It was a strong sugges
tion against the justice of the claim
that instead of being pressed upon
its merits it was sought to be incor
porated in a bill to which there was
no objection.
Mr. i (jutcheon, oi Jmcnigan, re
garded the amendment as a far-reaching
measure, and one which, if enacted
into a law, i would be followed by a
flood of Bimilar claims involving hun
dreds of millions of dollars. If this
claim i was paid claims would
come I in f asking for compensation
for the occupation of every camp
ground which the Union soldiers
used after crossing the Potomac
river. I There would be nothing to
prevent the owner of the battlefield
at Manassas from bringing in a claim
for occupation by .the Union army
during the battle.
Mr. Spooner, of Rhode Island, sup

his mind a vast distinction between
this claim and the claims for payment

in the Enoxville Tribune against the
reputation of Rev. Dr. Pease of this
city, The charges are indignantly
denied by Dr. Pease and his mends.
Last evening a meeting of the Board

and resolutions denouncing the Trib

of tr. Tease were unanimously

CnrcAoo, 111., March 2. An inter
national question has been vigorously
stirred up by County Judge Prender
grast from the number of insane pau
pers, subjects of European powers,
who have come before him while hold
ing a court of insane inquiry. The
Judge has long been of the opinion
that foreign governments are simply
dumping their undesirable inhabitants
into the United States. Yesterday
he decided that the best means of
forcing the subject to legislative at
tention was to order two Canadian lu
natio; paupers to be sent to the British
consul, one German to the German
consul and one Hungarian to the Aus
trian consul. Before they were sent
an officer of the court was dispatched
to the consuls with a note from the
'udge explaining that as the paupers
tad been allowed to come here in
sane to be a burden on Cook county
the consuls ought to take charge of
and ship them back. Baron Norden-
nichtj the German consul, at once re
replied warmly, savin cr that as he re
ceived orders only from Germany he
begged to state that "if any attempt
is made to 'carry out the orders of the
(Jounty Court by leaving Victoria
Rieda at my office without my con
sent I shall invoke the aid of the Fed
eral jsourts." Other consuls sent
similar replies and thus the matter
stand.

Baltimore, Mar. 2. The funeral of
Monsignor Bernard J. A. McManus,
took place this morning at St John's
church, of which he was pastor from
the time it was built, thirty-two years

Long before the services be

and thousands of people stood on the
street unable to gain admission. The
office for the dead was recited by Rev.
W. E. Bartlett, Cardinal Gibbons cel
ebrated high requiem mass and the
Rev. Dr. John S. Foley preached.
Among those present were Bishops

The. Methodist parsonage at Mount
Olive was j burned about 2 oclock
Wednesday morning. It was 'occu
pied bv the Rev. J. P. Abernathv.
The fife originated in the (feed room
of the stable on the premises. Very
little of the furniture in the house
was saved. Mr. Abernathy's wearing
apparel as well as that of his wife
was situated in that part of Virginia
which was within the Union lines
from the beginning to the end of the
war the territory within which it
was situated had during the entire
war been represented in this House.
Mr. Alien, of Jmcrugan, tnougnt
that the common farmers required
that the Government should pay for

erty from the close of the war up to
the time is was vacated by the army,
but he waft opposed to paying for its

was only kept there by the Federal
troops.
Mr. Liong, of Massachusetts, in
quired whether the same was not true

Mr. Alldn replied that it was not.
If the Federal troops had laid down
their guns for twenty minutes this
property would have been occupied
by Confederate soldiers. The semi

Mr, Holman, of Indiana, offered an
amendment providing ! that nothing
in this appropriation should be con
strued as recognizing the liability of
the United States to pay for the use
and occupation of property by the
United States Army at the seat oi
war during the late war.
Mr. Urosvenor regarded the amend
ment as a child s play. It would
have no effect except to quiet the
conscience of eome gentlemen who
desired to vote for the claim. In one
breath the House paid for the rent
of the property and in the next said
that it would not admit having done
the very thing it had done.
Mr. Holman s amendment was re
jected and Mr. Lee's amendment was
adopted, 102 to 64. The bill was
then agreed to, and pending action,

IV Mat Cbalraaam Mills Says.
Wash. dor. Baltimore Bon,
Chairman Mills makes no effort to
conceal the fact that he is wellpleaeed
with the results which he and his
Democratic , colleagues on the com
mittee have ' accomplished in the pre
paration of the bill. While sealed in
the ways and means committee room
this afternoon he talked quite freely
to the Sun's representative on the
subject. The majority of the com
mittee, says Mr. Mills, have prepared
a bill Which they think should be ac
ceptable to all persons interested in
bringing about a reform in the tariff.
There! has been no attempt to wil
fully ; injure any industry, and the
committee has made no allowances
for probable compromises that may
be suggested. They are prepared to
stand-by the bill just as it was re-
etrtea, in committee as well as in the
ous. He had been informed that
Mr. MeKinley and several other Re
publicans would probably request
that representatives of various indus
tries be given a hearing before the
full committee previous to the bill
being! reported back to the House.
To thia suggestion Mr. Mills replied
most emphatically that so far as he
waa concerned, and he believed that
a majority of the committee would
sustain him, there would be no such
hearings permitted. . The minority
will be allowed about two weeks to
ponder over the bill, and at the ex
piration of that time the majority
will be ready to report to the House,
so that the discussion upon it may be
gin about the hrst of April.
ine policy of the .Republicans will,
Of course, be to delay its consid
eration as long as possible, and should
the committee yield to requests of
certain industries to be heard there
is no teiiing wnen tne bin wouia
finally reach the House. The expe
rience of Mr. Mills upon the ways
and means committee has taught him
that there is not much desirable in
formation to be obtained from such
heariacrs in addition to that alreadv

to reveal their business secrets. There
is one) thing certain, if the present in

Mondiyin the Senate, Gov. Vance
introduced a bill for the relief of the
legal representatives of John Bap
tists Ashe.
Pending the discussion of the Nica
ragua Canal bill Senator Vance said :
I have searched this bill through
from beginning to end, and at first
I would not believe the evidence of
my senses, but I was forced to upon
continuing the investigation, when I
found that there was not one word
or one line which compelled this cor
poration to buy anything of Ameri
can manufacture, and now that omis
sion is so marked that it amounts to
a license and an authority to this cor
poration to do otherwise. And if it
shall r do anything more than ap-
Sears upon paper, and ever get
own into Central America and com
mence digging, I can prophesy to
Jou, Mr. President, what is going to
appen. Just so sure as you live
these fellows will buy iron and other
materials from whomsoever they can
get them the cheapest and of the best
quality. Why not guard against thatf
Should such a Btate of things as that
come along and men be permitted to
buy where they please T Do we not
all know that doom is impending over
i.s: and when it falls, who can tell the
consequences of thus allowing a man
or a corporation, which is an artificial
man, to buy where he can get the
cheapest materia), and of the best
quality T Is it not an evasion of the
duty that we owe to these manufac
turers of ours? Is it hot a practical
abdication of the allegiance which you
ana i navo sworn to them, to lecris-
la'e for them and not for the interests
of the Government T : Is not the end
of all things nigh when we can char
ter a foreign corporation, or a corpo
ration to act in forei'en parts, with
permission to buy iron and steel ma
terials from this old tyranny that is
going into all the corners of the
earth ? The Senator from Colorado
has just warned us that she is reach
ing out her paw over Venezuela, and
here are a lot of North Americans, in
corporated by the authority of this
Congress, who are buying iron from
that lion and trading with him; and
is not the profit which they make by
that transaction a fraud upon their on
and steel manufacturers of the United
States T Are they not beincr robbed ?
I will not offer an amendment com
pelling the corporation to buy solely
in tho American market ; that is not
my business; but I ! thought in . the
character of amicus curies I misht
perhaps suggest to the Senators who
nave these special interests in charge
that they were emitting a very im
portant provision in this bill; and
with that suggestion, if the result
which I have prophesied shall follow,
their blood be upon (heir own heads.
Laughter. J j
Senator Vance also offered an
amendment to the bill as follows :
And all laborers employed in such
work shall be either native or natur
alized citizens c f the United States,"
"The section fcas provided by an
amendment of the Senator from Ver
mont that a majority cf the directors
shall be citizens and residents of the
United State, and by another amend
ment that the president of the com
pany shall be a citizen and 1 resident
of the United States.' Now, if there
is any (rood thine done there I want
our wot kin "men to have a hand in it.
So I offer the amendment"

Editor Roanoke
recently been greatly complimented,
as you xnow, by Democratic encomi
ums and Republican detractions. The
Roanoke Nete$ and other papers hare
published me as worthy of a seat on
the highest judicial bench in the
State, and still other Democratic pa
pers hare mentioned! me in that con
nection, while the organ of the Re
publican party published in this city-
has in issue after issue done me the
honor to say many hard things of me
all of which has been exceedingly
gratifying to me and for which I now
express my sincerest thanks.
To be considered of sufhoient im
portance to be selected by the enemy
for denunciation ana attack along
with such men as Ransom, Jarvis,
Fowle, Stedman, Clark, Coke, Holt,
your brilliant county-man, W. H
Day, and others, is indeed enough of
honor to turn my poor head; but not
withstanding all this I yet can see
that lam not fitted for such high honor,
and I therefore deem it proper to cay
that I am not a candidate for a seat
on the Supreme bench, or in fact for
any office.
Ere lonir. when the Republican
party of North Carolina is dead and
we have met to perform the last sad
rites for the departed, may I be con
sidered sufficiently clerical to preach

Pittsburg, March 2. Another car
load of engineers who were formerly
employed on the Reading railroad
passed through this city this morn
ing en route to Chicago. There were
about thirty in the party, sixteen of
them being from Shamokin, Pa., and
the others from Philadelphia. One
of the men who was asked about the'
report that Chief Arthur would call
the Brotherhood of Engineers, off
said: "We have heard the rumor but
have had no official notice that it is true.
If such prove to be correct we are
willing to turn around and come back
to fight our own fight and leave the
Burlington troubles solely in the
hands of the Brotherhood." A. A.
Carlton, of the General Executive
Board of the K.'of L, who passed
through this city this morning, said
that he had not learned yet whether
there was any foundation for the re
port that a compromise had been ar
ranged between the Brotherhood and
the K. of L. '
Chicago, 111, March 2. It appears
that Secretary Capill, of the executive
board of the Reading employees,
brought Chief Arthur and Grand
Master Sargent official information
that 150 members of their organiza
tion had taken the places of the K. of
L. on the Reading road. Both Chief
Arthur and Mr. Sargent have denied
repeatedly that they knew that their
men had taken the places of the
Reading striking employees. They
assured Capill that they had no
knowledge other than the vaue news
paper reports that this thing had oc
curred. Both gentlemen expressed
a willingness to play fair with the
Knights, and an agreement was en
tered into by which Arthur and Sar
gent agreed to request their men to
quit work on the Reading road. In
return (Japiil agreed to keep 150 to
200 Reading engineers in the city
from taking the places on the Bur
lington, ibese men, it was agreed,
would be held . back 24 hours.
If the Brotherhood men obeyed the
request of their chiefs and quit the
Reading road the Knights here would
return home. After the settlement
with the Reading men was made
Chief Arthur and his comrades took
fresh courage and were a trifle less
ready to make concessions to the
company. They thought the strike
would be brought to a speedy termi
nation if an agreement with Capitt
was effected. Chairman Hoge, of
the engineers and firemen's grievance
committee, said tht complaints had
reached him that aeveral roads were
violating the neutrality agreement.
He declined to say which were the
offenders, but the Rock Island and
bridgevmJon"iisf xtfee iWrtaVf
Debs, of tne ifiremen s irovnernooa,
said that unless this assistance was
stopped a general strike would be
ordered within fortf-eight hours.
