SWASH'saTON, August 7. Sbnatk. Tllt) iesolution offered yesterday I Mf. Jones, of Arkansas, instructing the committee on finance to make an investigation of the cotton bagging pool was taken up and adopted. ;f he Senate bill to remove tho pu- mfcal disabilities of Julian M en, of Georgia, vtas reported from the judi ciiiry committee and passed. The Senate at one o'clock resumed consideration of the fisheries treat- in opon executive session, ana wac addressed !by Air. Sherman in opposi tipq to -its ratification. He said he hid made up his mind not to engage id the debate, but the remarks of the Senators from Alabama and Dela ware (Morgan and Saulsbnry) re fdrrirj'X to what had occurred in the cpinruittee. room on foreign rela tijons had: made him change his mind, lie denied their assertions that the course pursued by the Republican Senators (in declining to offer amend ments) was, the result of a party can cus and assured those Senators that so iar as tie Knew tnere naa been no caucus decree, no caucus order and no proceeding of a caucus to influ ence in the slightest degree the action of any .Senator as to the offering of amendmenis. The only Bubiect of conference! had related to the question of considering the treaty in secret Or in open session. In -discussing the details of the pending treaty, Hr.Sherman said.be regarded'tbe 15th section of the treaty, allowing .the free- importation of Canadian fish and ilish oil, aa a surren der of the right of the-LJnited States to levy taxes on imported goods, as an insult to the United States. There was not, he said, in the history of diplomacy so one-sided a irea'y be tween two great and powerful nations. Such a treaty seemed to him to be disgraceful to American diplomacy. That expression was perhaps too strong, but certainly suoh a treaty was the most unfortunate concession that could be made by any adminis tration, and he deeply regretted that Secretary Bayard had ever signed his name to it. : The fifteenth section of the treaty i was a Siamese-twin to the Mills bill, and both ought to be ) debated; together. The treaty might be considered as a sim ple supplement to the Mills bill.' It -was ia pursuance of the line of policy to which the Democratic party was daily becoming more and more committed, and which would surren der I all the! greet industries of the couhtry to I undue competition with foreigners. Another bugbear mentioned by the S,ejagrjfjom Alabama (Mr. Morgan) tries were going to Wir ifenrW; matter, and; the Republicans were asked what' they would do if they came. into- power. His (Sherman's) answer was: that they would, sand, politely their plenipotentiary to the British government to communicate io thaty Government in the kindest and freest manner tneir aisoonient with the abortive agreement made by Mr. ; Bayard. They would state respectfully tne grounds oi tne aim culty and say that while they were willing to make concessions as to ocal jurisdiction along the coast so as to meet the changed ideas of the times they wanted for that conces sion and that surrender the same privileges that were granted to all the people of the world, except tne nshermen.of the Unit ea states, ne would like to see any British govern ment resist Buch a demand. He did not believe thai, any English ministry that resisted it would continue one month in power. Any man, who de sired war in this day and generation was a lunatic; any man who desired war between the United States and Great Britain was a madman. The two na tions would settle this controversy as they had settled so many others- No voice should be raised against sucn a hopeful result. If in the great con troversy now to be carried to the peo ple' of the United States (not bo mnch this treaty as the other great ques tions to which be had first alluded) it should be settled by the people that this administration bad fallen short oi its duty (in that regard as well as in't uen. narrison auuuiu resident of the United Stites,as he (Sherman) most earnestly hoped and believed no war need be feared ;and no dangerous controversy abbut the i fisheries- The question would be settled on terms that would h honorable, rteacef ul and proper. Mr. i Frye stated that Mr. Evarts would i be ready tomorrow morning to 'close th debate on the Bepubli-7; can side, and he expressed a sincere desire that the Senate would hasten the matter to a close. He hoped that the Senator from Alabama (Mr. Mor gan) would close the debate on the Democratic Bide, and let the Senate; have a vote on the question. Mr. i Morgan said he understood that several Senators on the Demo-; cratic side desired to speak on the; trtiatv, and be should not undertake to limit their right to do so. He didr not propose to enter into any agree ment about it. Mr. Frye I am authorized by those who are opposed to the ratinca tion of this treaty to give notice that attar Ttomorrow morning it will be uEeseed to a final vote. iMr.i Morgan If there is any dispo sition on the other side to press this; treaty to a vote unseasonably or to hold the Senate in session until thfe viSto isSttaimd, I notify the other side thafthry cannot do it. We wilt be here ttj see that you do not tak anv very rouh advantaee oi us in J ' J T - O this casv j , Mr. Frye We have no purpose on disire to i take any advantage. Tha treatv has now been pending for a loner time in the Senate. When I said that I oroooaed to press it to a fintl vote I did not mean to be under stood that I would ask the Senate to sit it oat ton. or row or next day, but I mean that, having entered on the disci tomorrow, I shall ask the Sena o continue it to the exclusion of ail other business until the discussion ceases. Mr. Morgan Perhaps we will not agree t that, either. There is" t plenty. of legislative business mote pr-sBing than this treaty. Mr. Frye That is what I expected. Mr. Call intimated his intention tc ad Iress the Senate on the treaty. Mr. Evarts intimated that every Senator had had an opportunity to speak Gn the treaty without the ob jeo'toniof either side. If other Sen ators ob the Uemoc a ic side desired to speak, ha Wiahel thty would do so before lie closed the argument on tLu Republican side. Mr. Morgan said that the ttpeech of Mr. Sherman was on a piano so much higher than the other speeches on that side that he desired to see the text of ! it in print before he or ti e other Senators undertook to reply i. it. He had perceived no sort of in consistency in Sherman's attitude on the question, and he lad expected just Biich a speech as that which the Senator had ma le. He coal i sto no reason why the treaty should be hur ried to a vote. He would u-e all his rights to prevent its being o hurried. Mr. fivarts tooi the floor and the Senate proceeded to lelsiM ive busi ness. A message from the President, ve toing the bill to grant C35 acres of the military reservation to tho city of Takena; Washington Tern ;ory, for a park, was read and referred to the committee on public lands. The grounds of the President's disap proval are that the army engineers report against the grant because the land may be needed for military pur poses, i The Senate then resumed tho con sideration of the bill reported from the committee on foreign relations to prohibit the coming of Chinese labor into the United States. ' Mr. Morgan, addressed the Senate in an argument to show that instead of legislation to restrict Chinese im migration, having been favored by the Republicans and opposed by the Democrats in former years, the con trary ha;d bten the case, and he quote 1 extensively from the report on the subjectmada by Senator Morton, of Indiana, and from speeches made by Messrs. Hoar, Dawes, Piatt, and other Republican Senators, condemnatory of such legislation. Mr. Stewart addressed the Senate in advocacy of the bill, and in reply to Mr. Morgan s argument. At the close of Mr. Stewart's ar-u- inent at 16:15 the Senate adjourned. . ;j HOUSE. Mr. Oiithwaite, of Ohio, in an car- hes". speech, appealed to the House to permit him to call up for" immediate consideration the Senate bill making an appropriation to enable the several executive departments to participate in the Ohio Centennial Exposition to be held in Columbus, Ohio, in Sep tember and October next. Mr. Gates, of Alabama, who, on - 7 f t. ., . i i . n conbtitutio that while he obieeted eminent going into the snow oaoiuc., be would not now object, but wouia content ' himself with voting against the bill. So, thire boing no objection, the bill was taken up for consideration. Mr. Vise, of Virginia, offered an amendment providing that if there shall be any surplus of the appropria tions made to enable the dpartmeuts to participate in the Ohio Valley Cen tennial Exposition it shall be used to tenable ithe departments to be repre sented at the expositions to be held at Augusta, Ga., and Richmond, Va. He urgjjd his amendment ia a brief speech, and his argument was ear nestly seconded by Mr. Birnee, of Georgia). Mr. Gannon, of Illinois, said it was time that CongresB should determine what policy should govern it in such matters. Heretofore the policy had been to aid only expositions of an. in ternational or national character. II that policy were now abandoned and aid . given to the Columbus exposi tion, it must also be granted to toe Aupusia and Richmond expositions. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, offered an amendment appropriating $250,000 to aid the exposition to be he!d by the colored race in Atlanta, Ga in 1889 and 1890 under the aus pices 'of the Colored World's Fair Association of America. He argued that rf Congress was to give govern- ment aid in this class of cases it should certainly be afforded to a struggling i race incn wiBbea to snow its au yancement after trenerations o 'f 8iftVerv. j Mr. Heibert, of Alabama, thought that if the government was going into the circus business it might do it sys tematicallv.

Mr- Wise advocated the amendment offered by him, and argued that in extending government aid Congross should not discriminate between me various States and cities.

Y. v'e.ngressni'-u Mills aud W t' V liieekeurilgo spoke to a large meeting LeM under the auspices of the Young Men s Democratic Club of Harlem, V , Saturday night and aro report e l by the New York Times as fol Mr. Mills spoke at considerable length, in part as follows: " W e are fairly launched U.pn a cam paign which will determirw the fjture policy of our government. The con dition of tha Treasury is anessrutial ly caatradictory , OLe. Iu all other governments there is a desperate liui-t to find articles which may be taxed so that Kullicietit revenues may bo secured. to pay the expenses of an expensive gOTerument. In this coun try it is the oppoere. We have more t' aa $lo0,0()0,000 in t'ne vaults of the Treasuey which trnvo be. n wrung from the people. .Mere thani$9,000, OUO come into the possession of the government each month. This great qiiiniry-of money goes on isiorcas'ng, so thrd by the end of Jan next year we will have an sdlitional 100.u00, OOti which we will not know whit to d with "W hat does all this mean t.iinply tl, ?: Subtraction of money from the revenue of the people mown a fall in prices. It tn?ar.s that the weight of tbe expenses of government falls aiot heavily upon those least able to bear it and that the amount taken by law. is so much taken from th annual supply that must satisfy the actual wants of life. As that money is sub tracted the prices of property fall. When prices fall money is scarce, when money is scarce people are poor, when they a'e poor they stop buying, manufacturers stop making, workingmcn stop working, aud bank ruptcy and ruin stalk through a ruined country. This must be stop ped This moucy must be taksn 'out of the Treasury. The Republican plan is to spend it: Perhaps they will erect great edifices; perhaps they will divide it among the States, or perhaps they will assume control of :he public school systems of the vari ous States. The government should not take anything iwi-e from the citizens' pockets th.n is eufficiont to eupport it. Democrats say that taxes shall be reduced upon food, clokhing and raw mnterials; that men shall makf more money, more wage3 and attain a greater prosperity. W'bai the Republicans offer is free whisky, which Col. Ingereoll apostrophizes; but which does not mean smiles from your wives and child: en, but beauti ful snakes in your boots. ' Mr. Mills concluded by his exposi tion of the reduction demanded by the bill which he framed He dwelt particularly upon tha materials which it is propos. d to admit free of duty, and the necessity which s-ich an ad mission on the free list is to the com merce of ihe country. lie concluded with the remark . "Free raw materi als will allow of greater production. Increased production demands more labor, and ihe more labor ia demanded the higher tha rates of wages will be. Y'ou all know that the demand fixes '- - 7 " Miils. lie was reetneu aa much applause as was the chairman of the committee on which he served. He talked at some length, and was often stopped by prolonged applause. He said that the moRt sovereign power of a government was the right of tax ation. There was a tacit understand ing between the government and the citizen that the citizen shouid bear bis fair burden of the governmental expenditures, but no other man's part of that burden. He domed the right of any government to take a dollar from a citizen except for a just and fair government purpose. The Dem ocratic prty regarded the money in th'j Treasury as belonging to the pe'o ple, and the Republican party re garded it as biiiongici; to the United States and something with which they could do as they saw tit. He showed how practical a measure the placing of raw hides on the free list in 1872 had pioved, and said that the Repub licans were making a great cry over free wool because they wanted to pull the wool over the workingmen's eyes. He sad he v, as & workingman him self, and that he lived by the sweat of his brow. He and all others had but one product to sell, and that was labor, and there should be no restric tion to competition, because it is competition that gives value to labor. Ho said that he brought before the bar of the pub ic a sj stern of taxation that in twenty years Las enabled seme men to make $20,000,000 and doomed tho gi:ls of a factory town to the loom at thirteen years of age. flu- It'alne 1'ecrplloa.

He rarely wore his uni :u;e form, and a more uniuiUtary -looking man nevei lived in citizen's dress. The follow. ng is a good picture of the oommander-in chief at his headquar ters: "Most of tht: officers about him were in civilian's Irens, but there w-w hardly one of them who did not wear some outward sign ot his military character. Sheridan was very short, and each year seemed to add to the rotundiiy of his pudgy figure. When I saw him in the lobby he wore upon the back of his round, bullet head n very slim', high, old fashioned Bilk hat of a Btyle that was very popular about the time of the close of the war. It was about two sizes too small. His short, iron. gray hair stood out from under tbe rim of hia hat at nearly right angles with it. His red, weather-beaten, face did not show any new lines of ad vancing age, but his grizzly, iron gray mustache and imperial were whitening very fast. He wore a short, light, yellow gray overcoat which had. only two buttons, and they were near-', ly ready to tly off from the undue strain of Sheridan's round figure The coat, like the hat, p.pp eared to have been long out grown. The trou sers were a gray, plaid and fitted very' snpgly to the General's fat legs. His boots were thick soled and unblacked. pe wore no gloves. The side and Mear views of the Guneral suggested a low comedy mau who had walked off the stage all made up for a funny part, but wli6u you came to look at tlae General square m the face its stern, solemn, composed lines were enough to make one forget his gro tesque figure and careless dress. He was not as popular as was Gen. Sher man with the ladies. He was fonder of staying at home than of going about in society. He took more pleasure in paying attention to his own wife than to other men's wives."
