I Wasiiixgt ., April 17 Ses.vi n. Among the .bills reported from the COiDtri:', ec-B and placed cn the calen dar (unless otherwise noted) were the following: The House bill amending itho so' fir ti . public building at jpuaiianooga, Tenn.; the Hou9o bill &ppr):iprip,ung $2,500 forlhe enlarge ment and improvement of the public buildioc at Charleston, West Va : the Seu.tte bill, "for the public build ; teg at Key West, Fla , 67,000 addi- j tional and changing tha limit of the j expenditures to $175,000. j i; Satiate bill to change tha timo of meeting from the 'District Court of the Southern District of Mississippi passed.; Mr Iflurub, from the committee cu public land?, reported the resolution Instructing the committee on public laudd to iuvesLig:i e all the facts bear ing oa the general allegations made by Senator Call as to the illegal and fraudulent conveyances of public land) in Florida. Laid over. Mr. Stewart offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the Secretary' of the Treasury for a state men ?of amounts of United States money deposited ixt national banks as to whether there is any regulation of ihe treasury, department by which it lean be determined in what bask de- posifed, and to what extent the placed deposit is discretionary with the Sec retary. Ihe resolution odered yesterday by Mr. Riddleberger suspending the rules as to t xeeutive sessions during the consideration of the fishery treaty ) was laid before thB Senate by the pre- siaiBg omcer. Mr. Edmunds "In consideration of that resolution I move that tho doors bo closed." i Mr- Harris'I second the motion." Mr. Riddleberger ' I ask tho Sen ator; from Vermont to withdraw his motion. I simply want to make a statement and will not discuss the treaty at all." Mr. Edmund?, however, persisted iu bis motion, and, the motion having been seconded, which is all that the rules cf the Senate, rtq iire in such a matter, the sergeant-at arms was di rected by the presiding officer to cleat the galleries and close the doors of the Senate. Within tea minutes thjB doors were reopened and the public business of the iSena e proceeded with. Tbe bill to forfeit certain lands heretofore granted for the purpose of aiding in the construction of rail roads was taken up for consideration Mr. Walthall offered an amendment to the fifth section, which excepts from the operation of the act until January 1, 1889, the grants for the GuH and Ship Island railroad, and for 'the railroad in Alabama from the Tennessee river, at Gunter's landing, to Gadsden, oa the Coosa river, by adding these words: "And in all cases where any of the lands excepted as aforesaid in this section have been sold by tbe proper officers of the United States for cash or (with allow ance and approval of such officers) have been entered in good faith under the homestead or pro eruption" laws, the right and title of persons holding or claiming any such lands under such sales or entries are hereby confirmed." After discussion and explanation the amendment was agreed to. The bill went over. The Senate then resumed consider ation of the bill for the admission of tha State of , South Dakota aud the organization of the Territory of North Dakota, and wa3 addressed by Mr. Vest in opposition to the bill. He denied that the question was a local one and admitted that it was partisan in Its nature. The Senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Spboner) had waved yesterday that ensanguined garment known as the bloody sbirt and scattered its ruddy remains around the chamber. He had spoken of secession and said that there was no dmerence bet reen States try ing to break out of the Union and States trying to break into it. But what did that Senator say of a State neijther in nor out of the Union which claimed to exist as a State in spite of the laws and in defiance of Congress t If ianv Southern community had un dertaken to do what the people of Dakota had done there would have been an outcry immediately only ex ceeded by that in regard to Fort Sum ter, and the Senator from Vermont would have proposed a piece of legis lation equivalent to that celebrated legislation which be had carried in 1816 which put Hayes into the Piesi dential chair and "to arms" would have been the cry all over the North Mr. Edmunds wished to say with emphasis that he believed and that nine-tenths of the people of the United States who knew anything about it believed (he thought) that resident Hayes was lawfully and faifly and justly elected by the voteB of the States according to the Con btitutionof the country, and that the only evil which had existed in regard to that matterjwas the attempt of a body of men at the headquarters in New York to buy the electors of the State of South Carolina, and those men had not been Republicans. In further discussion of the same subject Mr. v est declared that in hia j idgment there had been no neces sity for the electoral commission; that the Democrats who consented to it had made a great mistake, and that if they had only stood !v their legal aud constitutional rights (with the great public opin ion of the country bpliind them) Tilden would have been sea'ed by right indisputable in the executive chair. As to the obj ju of the Dem ocratic opposition t-j the bill being the keeping out of the three electoral votes of Dakott. Mr. Vest denied it and declared his belief that Cleveland would be elected President by a ma jority in which three votes would be so email a fraction as not to affect the result to any extent. The Demo cratic Senators were willing to adm t the whole Terrjtory of Dakota as a State, but they wera n"i willing to divide it. He hud beli-.. d that the bill to aJmit South Dakota had eprung from personal motires, and to achif-Te person! and party ends. Mr. ltdmufi.lj onk the floor 'o speak in supjnrt of i':e bill, b it i: was laid: as:d.e wit-i t unauiiii j.j.- cnsyrit jthat a veto shUl be t.;keu on I it tomorrow.

Mr. Coc'k!-.;!1 sought to amend the bill by lii'kirrg the pension date frcJm the licit: of i lestoration instead of daticg back to 1S78, when her name was dropped; but Mr. Edmunds ar gued that it was iiol for tho United States to make inquiry inio the moral conduct of peuaioisers, and t)at if the womau had been deprived of her pen sion illegally; she v us eut-tkd to her back pension. Finally the bill was recommitted; Adjourned. house. Iu view of the fact that the contest over tha tariff bill is to cpen in the House today, the galleries were un usually well filled when tho House was called tp order a coou. After reports from the eommitteo the House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer iu the chair) for tho eonsidera ion of tbe tariff bill. No opposition was made o Mr. Mills' motion to thid effect. Mr. '"'ills b?gan his speech by say ing that tha great increases of the duties made during the war had been, at the time they were made, stated to be only temporary. Yet a quarter of a century later tiiese duties were higher than they were during the war, ana they now averaged 4. 10 per cent on! imports. The inc- ime tax had been imposed to meet ihe war ex penses.! It yv.'is gone. I 1 was a tax on wealth, and the $72,000,000 an nually realized from that source was swept away. But the war tax oa clothing, ou food and oa the imple ments of labor remained and war was still being prosecuted against the peopie a fiscal war exhausting in ts demands, and every effort to re- movo or lower that taxation had been resisted and defeated. The Demo crats had Ijeon taunted with the charge that they had failed to reduce taxation. This charge had been made by the minority, which had been guilty of preventiEg action on many bills brought into be House by the committee on ways .nd means. Mr. Mills then turned his attention to the woolen manufactures and argued that the public at large waa injured by the present excessive tax and no body benefitted by high duties and limited importations anl exporta tion. A reduction of the duties would not, as as3erted, check- the man ufactures and cramp labor, We al- j ways imported more goods when j price3 were high. Under lower du- j ties we could export more goods, our j manufactories would run steadily and i labor would be constantly employed, j .Not more than 10 per cent of the poods consumed in the TTnitfld States I would be imported if all tho custom houses were torn down and the gov ernment supported by direct taxes. The protectionists argued that man ufactured art clcs were cheaper hero than in any other country as there- suit of protection. It was not so : but, supposing that it wa?, why then should they resist so itrongly any . effort to lower the duties if they were able to undersell the Europe! aa manufacturers. Did the manufacturers pay high wages because protection enabled them to do it? No, high wages wro made by coal, steam and machinery and high wages meant lower cost of produc tion. This accounted for the fact that Iree-trada England paid higher wages than p otection. France and Germany yet controlled the world's markets. He had requested tho present chief of the labor bureau to ascertain if there was any excep tion to the rule that wages depended on tha r fficiency of labor and if the re sult of highly paid efficient labor was tne loV cost of the product. In answer he read the labor statement prepared by Commissioner Wright, giving tho result of the inquiry in a number of cases which appeared to fully bear out the rule. Mr. Mills closed his speech amid loud applause at 2 50 and v'r. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, took the floor to reply. Mr. Kelley said the enact ment of this bill would instantly paralyze the enterprise and energy of the people. Under the influence of such a law the report of the census of 1890 would announce the overthrow of our manufacturing supremacy and reduction of our commanding com mercial position to that of colonial dependence. It was studiously desig nated to produce these ruinous re sults and is nicely adapted for its purpose. It was confessedly a par tisan measure and - was framed in the interest of the party whose leaders appeared to bo oblivious to the overwhelming sccial and economic changes wrought by the abolition of slavery. The gentlemen who framed this bill and could brook neither modification nor discussion of its provision by their associates in the committee to which the preparation of the revenue bills was confided by law were, with but two exceptions, representatives of what was a clave territory. The bill was an anachronism. It had no rela tion to this era. It belonged to the saddest epoch in our national history, the period between 1821 and 1861 Doring that period slavery dominated our national councils and guided the administration of our national affaire, in hostility to tho national interests and in tjie iu erestof f;eextrade twice, threatened war. It was in the inter est or free trado that the war was threatened in support of the doctrine, of nullification, and it was in the interest of free trade that t o c- .i .! y was involved for -nore thitu tour years iu fiactricidal var,tL!epiopor:tiousof which were more urigat ui than ever characterized any ml war. TLe entire South knew hat f ee trade waa essential to the perpetuity of slavery iu the republic, it d H should also know that the logic chat could defend free trade in a jountry cu lowed with the boundless diversify of the elements of manufac ture and the immense supply of forces for thef conversion which we enjoy, vanished wbeu slavery was abolished. As a measure proposed for the future guidauce, the bill was an aLdbronism, and was illustrative of tb-i systems cf economic philoso phy against which history had written in brood decrees that are final and im mutable; none of i:s provisions were in ha;nony with the spiiit of the age for they antagonize the asperations of the American people and are not adapted to facilitate their efiorts to supply their wants, gratify their desires and provide for the future of their families. Its first effect, should it be ejiacted into a law, would bo to arrest the magnificent development of th.3 mineral wealth, of the manu facturing power and of tha diversifi cations of ngaeulruro now taking place throughcu the South and to para'iTze the organized industries of the North. Mr. jve'lly spoke f r two hours and when he resumed his seat was loudly applauded and received the congrat ulation of his party friends. The committee then rose and ihe House at 5.10 adjourned. It is not ex pected that the debate on the tariff will be continued tomorrow, and the day will be given up to tho consider ation of the bills reported by the committee on labor. Treaenry Circular.

A Chicago special to tho New York Herald says: There is a good deal of feeliug regarding the proposed re moval of Libby Prison to Chicago. It is thought that the acheme to tear down the building, bring it here and set ir. up for a public show, to which an admission fee will be charged, is silly and useless, and will bo UDprofitj able. Kvery. dollar invested in it will be suak, and the general sentiment is that i ought to be. If it is intended to bring up personal reminiscences of the war, it will fail in its purpose as few, if any, soldiers west of In diana were confined there. Th6 Western ex-soldiers will care nothing for it, and it is argued that if it is in tended for a display of the bloody shirt, it would be more practical to movj it to Philadelphia, New York or Boston, as 95 per cent of the Libby prisoners belong in the East- Chicago has no bitter memories connected with it, and no desire to have the old tobacco warehouse brought here. The building in itself would be a t ublic eyesore and nui sance. According to the sentiments expressed by people here, the best use to make of it is to let it stay where it is. It is somewhat remark ablo that such a feeling should have manifested itself against what was intended as a, purely business enter prise, but the feeling exists, never. 'heliBs. -iga-- -aiM The President and Pension Bills. The President has returned to the Senate unsigned the acts granting pensions to Hannah K. Jjangaon, Betsey Mansfield and Laura A. Wright. These acts are vetoed on the ground that the deaths did not result from injuries received during the war or sickness incident to army service, and that until it is estab lished as a policy that all soldiers' widows shall be pensioned, it is un fair and unjust to makaexceptions in favor of only such as procure the passage of Bpecial acts.

RoscQe Conkling was born at Al bany on; October 30, 1829. He re ceived an academic education and af ter wdrd studied law, and in 1843 en tered the law office of Francis Kr nan, afterward his colleague in the United States Senate. His actual political career began in 1858, when he was elected mayor of Utica. In November of the same year he was sent as a Republican to Con gress and took his scat in 1859. He was re-ejected in I860. In 1862 he was defeated by his old law partner, Francis Kernan, but the succeeding election lie jin turn defeated Kernan. His first; important speech was in sup port of th fourteenth amendment. He opposed the generalship of McClelland; and Spaulding's Legal Tender act.j It was in the House that the fa mous passage between himself md Blaine, for whom he had a contempt, occurred, and their antagonism was never reconciled. He was re-elected in 1806, but ia 1867, before he took his seat, ho was chosen TJnited States Senator, and returned in 1873, and 1879. Mr. Conkling supported Grant's administration, and largely directed its genfral policy. He was instru mental in the passage of the Civil Rights bill and favored resumption of specie payments. At Cincinnati in 18 1 G Mr. Conkling received ninety-three votes for the Republican nomination for President. In the Chicago convention in 1880 he advocated toe nomination of Grant for a third term. The end of his political life came inl881,when he became hostile to Garfield over the matter of New York patronage, and resigned hia office to seek a - vindication in a reappoint ment at the bands of the Legislature. In this be failed through the efforts of Blaine, and at once declared his political career ended. He then re-entered upon the practice of law. Sincd then he has been employed in many important cases, being re garded ;aa one of the first lawyers of his day his fee never being less than $5,000. His personal character was consid ered good and he was net mixed up in those frauds in which other leading men of his party were implicated. He married the sister of Governor Seymour, the great leader of the New York Democracy, but his married life was not a happy one. Rev. j. W. Blosaer, M. D., Greensboro, N.

Uoltl .Boulanger. G-.;n. Boulanger has written a let ter to the electors of the Department of the Nord, ia which he says: "The fifteenth of Ap: il will henceforth be marked in tho annals of the country as the d.t e of her true deliverance: You have courageously resisted all pressure. You have held your grouud against acts of tyranny, obeying only the voice of conscience. What France dtmnndn, what the electors have affirmed through my name, is th9 necessity of a constitu ent assembly before which all ambi tions will bo effaced, and which will give the people the large place they ought to occupy under a republic. This has always been promised to them, but systematically withheld. E'ecto.p, our mutual interests are those of the country and of tho re public. It docs not suffice to love both. You must know al60 how to protect ard defend them. Without a thoii ;h of provocation, together we will tit vole ourselves to this great tiuk. Without allowing ourselves to be thwarted by 1 calumnies, we will labor to u ako the republic respected and indestructible.'1 M. Feny, iu a speech at Epinal denounced General Boulaa-g.-r as u m ut nous soldier. wou'd support the Fioquet cabi net, and ho called upon ir. to assume au uetivo militant attitude toward Boulacgerim, aud to concentrate Republicans ugainst the plebiscitary Ca-sarian movement. The return of France to Cftsarism would lead to a fo.eigu vcr. , Franca would lose the esteem of the rest of Europe if a sec ond time in forty years Bhe should be so foolish as to take mediocrity for genius a Cataline for a Washington. All good citizens must rouse them selves to combat a reversion toCicsar ism, which had always left shameful, blood stained traces in tho history of France. The Ilepubli'yue J-Vaiicaise savs : "There is madness in the air. We must not despair, however, but must stubbornly fight the battle." The 1'etit Journal Bays : "It is for the government to attach the proper meaning to the demonstration in fa vor of universal suffrage just mado." Boulauger'e Campaign. Tne Paris papers have been de voted almost wholly to descriptions, reports and comments bearing on the canvass which seems to have been a strauge combination of the astute f.ud grotesque. M. Laguerre,'5 a young depu y from Vancluse, who has borne the principal part in the management of Boulanger's cam paign, La3 been appearing on plat forms iu various towns of the depart ment, accompanied by a dog which has been trained to bark vehemently at the mention of the name of Jules Ferry. One gets a fair measure of the intelligence aad diguiry which marks Boulanger's appeal to popu lar suffrages by this little ran dom selection from his bag of tricks. A column could b filled with similar illustrations of the low level of sense which the general's managers ascribe to the moss oi the Nord voters. At least two variations of the Napo leonic legend that has been built up around his name for the delusion of tho oitdulous have found publicity. One of the stoiies i3 that he is a nat ural son of the late Emperor. The other, which is more romantic and circumstantial, makes him a grand son of the first Napoleon, the theory being that hi3 father was the child of a Russian princess whom the great Corsican met and loved during his march to Moscow. . Both of these stories are said to have obtained con siderable credence in the agricultural seciioas, as they were shrewdly started at opposite ends of the de partment and have not had time yet to come into collision with each other. Newspapers and cartoons have played an unprecedented part in the contest. Not only have millions of copies of 8UCU Paris journals as favor Boulanger been sent into the .Nord. but Doys and news paper vender?, accustomed to the stentorian Dawiinc' ot taeir wares im ported from Paris by the thousand and distributed throughout the de partment, are giving av.ay papers with portraits of the general, and rudely-colored caricatures, the most popular of which is a burlesque of the crucifixion with Gen. Boulanger on the central cross and two common soldiers on the others and a figure of France weeping at the foot of the cross, while Ferry, Logerot and other anti Boulangists personate the cal lous Roman authorities and Phari sees. One would have thought that this would have been resented by the clerical party, which is stronger in the Nord than in most portions of France, but to the contrary it is understood that the priests are going to throw their whole strength lor Boulanger.
