Mr Stewart followed Mr. Mitchell upon the same side of the question, but the me thod he proposed was somewnai amereuu He had offered a resolution requesting the President to negotiate a treaty with the Chinese Empire, excluding Chinamen al together,' except diplomatic agents and those engaged tin foreisn trade; but it would be; necessary also to ave treaties with Great Britain and Mexico to prevent those powers from opening their doors and allowing Chinese to come into the United States through their territory. If such treaties could not be negotiated, he would be in favor of Mr. Mitchell's bill. He moved the reference of the bill and of his resolution to the Committee on Foreign Relations. They were so referred. The Senate then proceeded to executive business, and half an hour afterwards ad journed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Caswell, of Wisconsin, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported ad versely the limiting the time for the pre sentation and payment of claims against the United States. Laid on the table. Mr Wilkins, of Ohio, under instructions from the Committee on Banking and Cur rency, called up for present consideration the bill providing for the issue of circular ting notes to JNaUonaieanaing iuuwHuu. Mr Weaver, of Iowa, made the point or order that the bill was not accompanied by eontemDlated in the rule requiring committees to, submit writ ten reports with every measure reported upon This bill was on merely recom mending its passage, and yet upon such a report the House was asked to act npon a measure whose certain effect was to in crease the National Bank circulation to the extent of $20,000,000, and whose possible effect was to increase it to the extent ot more than $400,000,000. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, made a further Doint of order that the bill must receive its first consideration in Committee of the Whole.

Senator chandler'-"aoolntlon for En quiry into Jacfcon, MlM , Election Adopted oy Sirlct Party Vote-Bon-telle's Battle Flae Resolution, as Amended, Adopted in the House. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. SENATE. Washington. Jan. 12. Mr. Piatt pre sented a memorial in regard to printing on third class mail matter, and remarked that he did not think there was any raun in me law, but that the trouble arose from an in correct interpretation of the law by the Postmaster General. Also, a petition for the issuance of fractionsl currency and the abolition of postal notes. Mr. Hiscock offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the President for information as to the judgments before the late Spanish-American Claims Commission. The resolution offered by Air. Chandler on the 10th of January, instructing the Committee on the Judiciary to enquire into the suppression of votes of colored citizens of Jackson, Miss., at the recent municipal election in that city, and into the alleged participation in such suppression by the U. S. district attorney, deputy collector ol in ternal revenue and deputy United States marshal, was taken up, and Mr. Chandler addressed the Senate in explanation and support of it, He said be had a communi cation from Jackson, asking for such in vestigation, and asserting that the facts stated could be proved by the testimony of the best men of both political parties. He bad not in the resolution provided for pow er to send for persons and papera, ,becanse he apprehended that the facts would be all found on file in the Department of Justice. If that, however, should not prove to be so, he would desire to have the power given to make a complete investigation, tie sent io the clerk's desk and had read several let ters and telegrams received by him; also, a manifesto which first conveyed to the col ored people of Jackson the information - that they would not be allowed to vote. This manifesto, he said, displayed at its head au engraving of a couple of pistols, a couple of shot guns and a powder flask, and in it the "young men of Jackson an nounced 'their ultimatum. It declared that having seen one of their number hell ishly murdered in the dark by a negro bully, set on by a negro policeman or a negro cursed city, that corrupt radical negro government should and must be wiped out at any cost ; that if negroes ran for office thev should do so at their ex trsme peril, "and it warned ail negroes against attempting to foist upon us this black and damnable machinery called government." Colored citizens, under the circumstances surrounding them, had resolved that it would be unsafe for them to attempt to vote, and had consequently abstained from voting, so that none but white men voted. The Federal officers engsged in that business were Harris, Dis trict Attorney; Wilson, Deputy Collector o! Internal Revenue, and Livingstone, DeDutv U. S. Marshal. He submitted that tbe question, although it affected only for the ume being the municipal election in the eity of Jackson, was one of national importance. The country, this year, was to enter . on the Presidential election an election which wa8 to decide the complex ion of the national House of Representa tives. In that election at least twelve millioa voters, representing sixty million of the American people, would participate Among those voters were probably one . and a half millions of black men, represent ing six or seven millions of their own race; and it was an important ques tion whether these one and a half millions of black men were or were not to be allowed to vote. It was a question which concerned those citizens who de sire to protect the tariff, whether that mat ter should be settled by a fair vote of all who are voters under the constitution, or be settled with one half million -of those voters disfranchised, in pursuance of that policy which had been deliberately adopt ed in the capital of the State of Mississip pi, which State was seeking to-day to have an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to aid in passing on the validity of consti tutional amendments. Mr. Riddleberger remarked that there was no concealment of the fact that the re solution was intended to affect matters that ought to be considered only . in executive session; and he gave notice that, as to him self, he would vote for the confirmation of Mr. Lamar. Mr. Walthall said he had not risen to of fer any opposition to the proposed inves tigation ; on the contrary, he was anxious that the resolution should be adopted by the votes of those Senators whose views on the constitutional power of the Senate dif fered from his own. If the proposition were to investigate a town election in New Hampshire, he should vigorously oppose it. He courted the fullest investigation of " occurrences at Jackson, but he protested against any prejudgment of the case. In stead of mere anonymous communications he desired that the motives, provocations, grievances, and surroundings of the people of that city, together with their actions, should be laid bare before the country, and that the verdict of the country should be had upon them. Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, sent to the clerk's desk and had read, a telegram sent on the third day of January, by Attorney General Garland.to District Attorney Jack son, in these words: "I notice in the papers that you are mentioned, personally, an narticiDatinz in political meetings re cently, at Jackson, to suppress the colored vote of that city, and to prevent colored " people from running for office, by violence and intimidation. Report fully to me, at once, tbe whole proceedings, and your con nection with it?" Mr. George said that his first impulse had been to let the resolution be adopted, without any debate or objection on his part. He would vote for it, except for one insuper able objection; and that was, that it em braced matters entirely outsidejof the juris diction of the Senate, but if it had been confined to an investigation of the conduct of the Federal officers concerned, he would have voied for it. For fourteen years the Republican municipal administration had existed in thocity of Jackson, without dif ficulty, without protest, without any vio lent efforts to overturn it. Up to Christ mas eve there was no opposition to the Re- nnlilfAnn 1 . t!HUA, .tin nl.Atlnn V ing for the first Monday in January; but on Christmas eve an occurrence happened (the mutder of a quiet, respectable white man, by a colored man), which excited the passions and apprehensions of the white population. He did not mean to say that even such a brutal murder justified viola tion of the law, but only that it was well calculated to excite passions, and to pro duce irregular and illegal action. The resolution was adopted yeas 29; nays 24 a party vote, except that Riddle berger voted with the Democrats, while the two Mississippi Senators were excused. Mr. Mitchell called up the bill introduced by him on the 12th of December, abroga- it was not within the province of the Chair to decide upon the sufficiency of the report and Bland's on the ground that the bnl made no appropriation of money. Mr Wilkins stated that under this meas ure national banks, if they saw fit, might increase their circulation to the extent or ten per cent. There was in the Treasury, as security for the circulation of $167, 000 000, U. 8. bonds to the amount or $189,000,000. If this bill should become a law. the circulation of the national banks could be increased, in tuuuu uumu, $317 000,000. Mr. Wilkins offered to yield the floor to any gentleman who desired to discuss the measure, but its antagonists, noticeably Anderson, of Kansas. Brown, of Pennsylvania, Bland, of Missouri, and Weaver, of Iowa, demanded recognition in their own right Mr. Wilkins then at tempted to effect a compromise, offering to allow the debate to continue through out the dav, provided that the previous question might be ordered to morrow. This being objected to, Mr. Wilkins demanded the previous question on the third reading of the bill. On division the vote was 113 to 59 in favor of sustaining the demand.and the yeas and nays were or dered, pending which opponents of the bill resorted to fillibusterlng tactics . Motions to adjourn and to adjourn to a certain day consumed the remainder of the morning hour in which the bill was being considered and the matter went over. It will probi fthiv ho further considered to-morrow. Mr. Townshend, from the Military Com mittee, reported back the Boutelle "battle flag" resolution aa amended by the com mittee on fililitary Affair?. Mr. Boutelle had no objection to the amendments though he did not think that the broadening of the scope of inquiry, so as to obtain informa tion as to the return of the fiaga to the Northern States, had any bearing upon the f the orieinal resolution. No banners belonging to loyal States had been captured by the United States, though he had seen it stated that certain flags cap tured by the Rebels and recaptured by Union troops, had been returned to the survivors of regiments which had borne them into battle. Mr. Cox, of New York, rejoiced at the unanimity with which the committee on Military Affairs had reported the resolution. The country was to be congratulated upoh the fact that this resolution, which con fined a matter which had touched public sensibility so greatly, could be reported unanimous and even receive the approba tion of the gentleman from Maine, (Bou telle). The resolution was adopted. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, from the com mittee on Post Offices and Post Roads, re ported a bill relating to permissible marks, printing or writing, upon second, third and fourth class matter. House cal endar. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President transmitting the invitation of the French government to the government of the United States to participate in the exposition to be held in Paris in 1889, to commemorate the taking of the Bastille. The House then, at 2.30, adjourned. A storm Extending from tne Kockles to Lake Wlcnln-Tne Wont of the Season. 'S- rieraph to the Morning BUM St. Paul. Minn., January 12. Railroad men agree that the storm of to-day is the worst ever known in the Northwest, tor iheir business. It extends from the Rocky Mountains to Lake Michigan, but its worst effects arc felt la Dakota and Minnesota Everywhere it has been accompanied by high winds which drift the snow badly, and in northern Dakota, with a below-zero temperature, it assumes the character of a genuine blizzard. Railroads had hardly finished clearing their tracks froa) the pre vious storm, and that of to-dsy has abso lutely blocked all the small roads, though the through lines are battling bravely with the elements to keep trains moving. Trains on roads to Chicago are from one to nice hours late, but all the main lines are still open and Eastern trains left as usual to-night. All freight on the Northern Pacific and Manitoba lines have been aban doned, and no passenger trains were sent out on these roads to-night. The Kansas City train, on the Omaha line, was also abandoned. Superintendent Egan, of the Manitoba, says its passenger trains are laid up at stations where there is plenty to eat 8t. Paul &Dululh is trying V keep its main iine open, but has abandoned the branches. A special from Huron, Dak., says: "The wind is blowing fifty miles n hour. The air is so full of snow that one is unable to see fifty feet at any time Some unthinkinc teachers dismissed young school children, some of whom have to go four or five blocks across open land. Five or six children got lost. Whistles were blown, bells rune and people turned out and took long ropes and walked fifteen or twenty abreast, back and forth over the ground. They found two, but the others have not yet discovered. The mercury is four de greas below zero and has fallen twenty eight degrees since 10 o'clock," Bismark reports that children started for school were forced to turn back by she fury of the storm. A Pierre, Dakota, special says the wiud is blowing sixty miles an hour, and it is impossible to tee fifteen feet. Thrco Mains are snow-bound at Reehers and there ia re ported a collision between two 1 mights at the eame ooint. Minct. Dakota, reports tb etoim raging for twecty-four iiours, ad t uc temperature flfleeu degrees below z.ro All railway travel is suspended Jameston, Dakota, reports no train mov ing on the main line ot the Northern Pa cific. Groton, Dakota, reports the wind blow ing at a gale, the mercury twenty degrees below zero, and impossible to see more tban two yards. In St. Paul a parade and other ceremo nies attending the laying of the corner stone of the third ice palace were postponed to Saturday. Scalper Have tbe Fleld-Tne Chief Interest Centred In Provisions. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. CHiCAQCvJan. 19. The grain markets were almost featureless to-day; interest being chiefly centred in the provision markets. Both corn and wheat opened a trifle firmer, with trading very limited. The scalpers bad the field pretty much to themselves throughout the day. On the afternoon session the market improved somewhat. May corn opened at 58ic and kept between that fleure and 54c until just before the close, when it reached the high est jQgure of the day. Oats sold within Jc range. Provisions opened very weak. May pork started in 42tc lower, at $15 15 Re ceipts of hogs were larger tban anticipated and prices 1020c lower. The pork pit was well filled at tbe start and the pressure to sell waa heavy In the first fifteen min utes trading in May pork broke to $15 CO. and during the next hour was rather ner vous, between $15 0015 10 A great deal of pork was marketed on country stop or ders, as well as a considerable amount held bv local longs. Lard opened 7ie off at $7 60 for May. but instead of declining it firmed up to $7 65. The provision market recovered from the tffect of early raids and pork waa back again to $15 15 before the cl"e of the morning session. While-?here were large amounts or stun ror saie. on me wav down there was enough buying by the short interest to cause recovery to opening prices. The market for all products held strong during tho afternoon session and the close was considerably above the first prices. ALABAMA.

Premier Crispi, in con sequence, it is supposed, of attacks made by the French press, has refused to dis miss the magistrate who ordered the police to search the French consulate at Florence. He is willing to reprimand the magistrate, but on condition that Franee removes the present Consul at Florence and hand over the papers sought for to the Italian govern ment. Flourens, Freneh Foreign Minister, has not yet replied to this proposition. Count Menabrea, Italian ambassador at Paris, is having daily interviews with Flou rens, trying to arrange the matters. St. Peteesbtjkg. Jan. 12 The order to reopen the University has been suddenly revoked, and it is now announced that it will not be opened until March 27th. The professors are animated by the same in censed feeling that prevails among stu dents, and it is doubtful if they will appear when the government does permit the open ing of the institution. Among the men arrested in connection with the latest plot against the Czar is an employe on the Baltic railway, who kept the Nihilists informed of every journey of the Czar to and from Gatschina . Letters were found on the prisoner showing that the plot was ripe for execution on the eve of the man's arrest. London, Jan. 12. A section of the Unionist members of .Parliament will op pose the appointment of the Minister of Agriculture by Lord Salisbury. The fog continues extremely dense, and shows no sians of lifting; forty loaded ves- Bals are fog bound in the Mersey. Among them is the White Star steamer Celtic, which was to have left for New York yes terday. Service on various packet lines has been ' suspended. Several ves sels have gone ashore on account of the fog. The fog has demoral ized the railroad service and makes it im possible to maintain the schedule time. Numerous fatalities have occurred. The unfortunate woman, supposed to be Mrs. Flora E. Walker, the eleventh victim of the Bradford Railroad accident, who died Wednesday night, was identified as Mrs. Floral E. Ward, of Gardner, Maine. Henry A. Hart, of Deering, Maine, died yesterday, making the total number of deaths twelve. Two others will probably die. Tlie Rcadlnc Railroad Strtki New Developments. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Philadelphia, Jan. 12. Inquiry here as to what happened at yesterday's confer ence between President Corbfn, of the Reading company, and the delegation of business men from the mining regions, is barren of results, but two New York pa pers published this morning, in identical language, the following: "After hearing what the different members of the com mittee had to say, President Coibin replied that he heartily sympathized with the ob ject of the committee, which was to end the strike, which he deplored bs much as any one; but that the position and duty of the company were perfectly clear. He said there was nothing tbe company could submit to arbitration: that the strike Wii over; the men who left the service of the company were discharged, and i would un der no cireumstances be taken back." Reading, Pa , Jan. 12. The only new development in the Reading situation is that several small iron ore mines, whose product was worked up along the Reading road, have shut down owing to decreased consumption by reason of short supplies of fuel.
