"Our whole business is interrupted,

Referring to a number of dispatch

o'clock. The new tariff bill was laid
before the committee by Senator Al

and a second complete copy w4a
handed at the same time to Senator
Harris. This was at once securely
sealed, addressed to Senator Beck
and forwarded by a trusty deputy
sergeant-at-arms to Fortress Monroe.
The committee then formally began
consideration of the bill. The ma

Mr. George gave notice that he
woull tomorrow address the Senate
on iir. Hoar s Dill to estaoiisn in
quests by national authority.
Several Conference reports were
presented and agreed to.
Mr. Stewart offered a resolution
calling on the President for such in
formation as he has received since
the 7th instant as to the action of the
Chinese government on the recent
treaty.
Mr. Edmunds suggested that tne
resolution had better be considered
in executive session for reasons which
he would state in executive Bess on.
The resolution was thereupon laid
on the table temporarily and the den-
ate, on motion of Mr. Edmunds, pro
ceeded to executive business with
closed door?.
The doors were re-opened at o-ie
o'clock and legislative business wis
proceeded with.
Air Chandler, who was to havo aa-
'dressed the Senate today on his reso
lution of inquiry into the Louisiana
election, said he had decided not to
3o so until Thursday next.
Mr. Sherman s resolution for an in
quiry into the state of tne rt-lations
between the United States and ureat
Britain and Canada was taken up and
Mr. Morgan proceeded to discuss it.
He said that it was an obvious fact
that the distinctive policy of the Re
publican Senators was that no other
than a Republican administration
should have the settlement of the
questions now open between the peo
ple of the United States and those of
Canada. The Senate, he said, was to
have a glance at a substitute for the
Mills bill and would then probably
sdiourn.
" Air. Morgan yielded the floor tem
porarily so as to permit Mr. Allison
to report back from the oommittee on
appropriations the House joint reso
lution to continue the provisions of
the existing law providing for ex
penditures of the government up to
and including the tenth of October.
The joint, resolution w bb passed, ft
is tibe fifth of its kind passed this ces
sion, the dates of the other four being
the 30th of June, 31st of July, 1st of
September and 15th of September!
, Mr. Morgan then resumed the floor
and proceeded with his argument in
favor of the policy suggested by tne
President. He declared the sugges
tion to be a masterly stroke of policy.
It would have more to do, he
Said, with the coming of Canada
within
political affiliation with the
United States than any other argu
ment which any human being couid
name, because it brought before the
eyes of the Canadian people the great
practical question tnat tneir materia:
interests were so bound up with those
of the American people that a com
noon government were necessary for
for all alike. Mr. Morgan paid a
high compliment to the President for
his clearsightedness and courage.
There was, he said, no trimming, no
double dealing, no hiding away of j
opinions on the part of the President.
The. l'reeident had put the uubject
before the people and the Congrea c '
the United States in such a simplt ,
plain and manly form that no man
could misunderstand it. The President
bad asked Congress to give him the
power, not merely to retaliate on
Canada for the wrongs she had done
lo citizens of the United States and
to convince her that she must do so

no longer, but also to put the reve
nues of the country on the same foot
ing as they were in respect to
Mexico, or any other foreign State,
and at the same time to relieve him
from an embarrassment which he
could not escape so long as the law
remained in its present imperfect and
tangled form. That was what the
President asked. Would the Senate
grant it? It would not. Jt had no in
tention to grant it. There bad been
no action taken upon it. In a few
days more the tariff bill would be re
ported to the Senate, and that meas

Mr. Dolph replied to what he de
signated "the extraordinary speech of
the Senator from Alabama." He spoke
of the inconsistency! Democratic Sen
ators, who, from being on the British
side when the treaty was pending wore
now the most Radical advocates of
retaliation. He regarded the Presi
dent's retaliation measure as a most
extraordinary document. After rejec
tion by the Senate of the fisheries
treaty which was "a shameful surren
der of American rights, the Jf resi
dent had been left free to execute the
retaliation act of the 3d of March, 1887,
but he chose to bluster rather than
to act, and he undertook to inetruct
the Senate on the'question. At the close
of Mr. Dolph s remarks the resolution
was referred to the committee on for
eign relations, Mr. Sherman sta'ing
that it would be considered tomorrow
The Senate then proceeded to pass
the private pension bills on the cal
endar to which there were no objec
tions.
Among the bills passed was the Sen
ate bill granting a pension of $3,500 a
year to tne widow of Jt'nuip tx. oneri
dan. Mr. Berry said he was opposed to
the bill, but would not make any ar
gument against it, contenting him
self with voting "no" on its passage
(which he did). All pension bills on
the calendar, 104 in number, were
passed the legislative operation oc
cupying -15 minutes.

In the morning hour Mr. Cochran,
of South Carolina, from the oommit
tee on foreign affairs, called up and
the House passed the joint resolution
accepting the invitation of the Impe
rial German Government to the
United States Government to become
a party to the International Geodetic
Association.
Mr. Hill, of Illinois, from the same
committee, called up the joint resolu
tion requesting the President to ne-,
gotiate with the Government of Mex
ico for the creation of an Interna
tional Commission to determine all
questions touching the boundary line
between the United States and Mex
ico, where it follows the bed of the
Rio Grande and the Rio Colorado.
Mr. Lanham, of Texas, wished to
offer an amendment authorizing the
President to negotiate with Mexico
for the abolition of the Zona Libre,
but Mr. Hill refused to yield for this
purpose and the joint resolution was
passed. t
Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, from the
committee on naval affairs, called up
the bill to regulate the course of the

present minimum of fourteen years
was too low and that the naval ser-
vice
would be benefited by an m-
crease in the minimum. I The amend
ment was adopted 26 to 7 and the
bill was Mflsed.
Mr. Herbert also called up and the
House passed the bill allowing sea
men in the United States Navy to de
posit their savings with the paymas

borne ; a bill permitting any sailor
who haa received an honorable dis
charge to select a home on board of
