Senate not In Session Public Build ing Measures Considered In tne House. LBy Telegraph to the Morning Star, l Washington, Feb. 25. Senate not in eession. , HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Yost, of Virginia, called up the bill granting a pension of $50 per month (with arrears from 1878). to Mary B. Kirby, wid ow of Maj. R. M. Kirby, who died in 1884, - from disease contracted in the Florida war. On motion of Mr. McMillan, of Tennes see, the arrears feature was eliminated from the bill, and Mr. Struble, of Iowa, moved to reduce the amount of pension to $30 per month. The amendment was re' jected and the bill passed. Mr. Stewart, of Georgia, from the Com ; mittce on Judiciary, reported a bill render ; ing eligible to any position in the Arm, any person who has served in the military, naval or civil service of the Confederate States. House calendar. Also, adversaly for puniahiDg the passing of Confederate 1 money as genuine United States obliga tions. Laid on the table. The floor was accorded, in Committee of the Whole, to the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds. The first bill called up was one appropriating $75,000 additional for a public building at Chat tanooga, Tennessee. Mr. Bland renewed hia opposition to what he considered a loose method of dealing with public building matters, aad finally offered an amendment providing that no public building shall hereafter be constructed unless some one of the Exec a-' tive Departments shall first certify to Con gress that no suitable accommodation for the service of the government can be ob tained in the city or town specified, at a less rental than $500 aear. The amend ment was ruled out of order, and the bill was agreed to. . Upon the next bill, appropriating $250. 000 for the purchase of a site for a public building at Buffalo, N. Y., Mr. Bland took occasion to renew his attacks upon the ta riff and to advocate a reduction of the sur plus by the payment of the bonded debt. "'He appealed to the House to cease the waste of money on these public buildings, and to come down to the Democratic doc trine of economy and reduction of taxa tion. He referred to the President's m a sage, (a reference which was received wrh applause on the Democratic side), and de nounced every attempt to take the people's money from the Treasury by the B:air Educational bill, public building measures, and other squandering propositions . Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, suggested that the gentleman from Missouri (Bland), by his course of action in regard to public building measures was violating the spirit of the resolution making those measures the special order. Mr. Bland replied that he would not pe r mit a handful of men to sweep these bills through in shame and scandal, but he would avail himself of his constitution il right to require a quorum to vote on every proposition. Mr. Cowles, of North Carolina, wishing to ask Mr. Dibble a question, the an nouncement by the chair "that the gentle man from North Carolina desires to aik the gentleman from South Carolina a ques tion," gave rise to much laughter, ad ' charges were rung on the character and spirit of the question to be propounded. ' The next bill was the Senate bill appro priating $1,200,000 for a building at Omaha, Nebraska, with a proposed substi tute appropriating $500,000 for the par- chase of a site, but making no appropria tion for the building. Mr. Bland by offering numerous amend ments prevented the vote being taken on bills, and the committee having risen, the House, without action on the bills reported, at 5.10 adjourned. WASHINGTON. Important Action of tne Senate Com mlttee on Rules Tne Open Execu tive Session Discussed Heports of Progress of Work on tne New Crol- ;sers Collapse of the National Opera Company. tBV Telegraph to the Horsing Star. Washington. Feb. 25. The Senate Committee on Rules acted to-day favorably upon Senator Blackburn's resolution to make it not in order for the Senate Con mittee on Appropriations to report back any appropriation bill (except the Urgent Deficiency bill), within five days after its 'receipt from the House of Representatives. The original resolution said ten days, but -the Committee amended it. This is a noti fication to the House of Representatives . that, the Senate will ' not hereafter consent to an adjournment sine die until it can eee its way clear to an opportunity of at least five days within which to consider appro priation, bills. At the last session three im portant bills reached the Senate for the first .time within two days of the final ad journment. " ' The Committee also agreed to so amend the rules that no debate or remarks shall ' be in order upon presentation of petitions - or memorials. Mr. Platt'a resolution for open executive sessions was talked over an hour without definite result, It was developed, however, ' that a majority of the Committee, namely, Senators Aldricb, Sherman and Blackburn, 'are at least in favor of some modification ' of existing rules, both with reepect to . - treaties and nominations. Another meet ing will be called soon to consider the mat ter further. Washington, Feb. 25. Mr. Wilson, chief naval constructor, and Commodore Schley, Chief of the Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting, have just returned' from a visit of inspection to Cramp's shipyard, Philadelphia. They report the status of work Jon the new vessels as follows : Ways - " Being put undex the gunboat York town, preparatory to her launching; the craJ8irMteaiaed Is ready f the ways, ?hfSlSiauD a. few day8 later than ; .the Yorktpwn.

Washington, Feb. 25.--A.fter the per lormance at the new National Theatre, this . evening, the National Opera Company de . cided to disband. The business has been for a long time very indifferent in receipts ' -"ana the return engagement this week was r simply disastrous. There have, been strikes -. among the artists, orchestra, etc., for the i - lastiur eights of the week, delaying the rising of the, curtain and necessitating a change of operas. At a meeting of the i Company this afternoon, Manager Locke announced that the end had come; there were no funds, and he had exhausted ail . means . of financial help. The . jeceipts of the matinee and. tonight'. performance will ba used to take the com pany to New York. Manager Locke states that the deficit of sixteen weeks is $100, 000; $75,000 of which is a loss to himself and friends. He has ; lost : everything.; Twenty-five thousand dollars ' is owing to the artists and other members of the company except the orchestra. Manager Locke says in time he wilt pay everything. He is now convinced, he says, that the opera on a grand scale .cannot be made self-sustaining in America. PENNSYL TAN I A. fleets or tne Coal strike on tne iron Tradftx-Fnrnaeec at Pittsburg to Stout Down Beading; Ballroad Men and the Impendlns Strike on tbe Bur lington Road. Bv Telegraph to the Morning St&r.l Reading, Feb. 25 The steel mill of the Reading Iron Works suspended this after noon, throwing 275 men out of employ ment. This company had previously laid off 200 hands in its other mills on account of dull trade. It is believed by heading iron manufacturers that the coal strike has had the effect of diverting a certain amount of the iron trade to other sections. Pittsburg, Feb. 25 It is probable that all the furnaces at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works will be shut down next Tues day on account of the failure to settle wage differences. Both sidea are firm, and re fuse to make any further concessions. Arbitration has- been suggested, but the company will not agree to it unless the award is for the year, while the men re fuse to accept it for more than six months. As this is the ultimatum of employes and employers, a strike seems to be inevitable. "If the men refuse to work," said a mem ber of the firm to-day, we will bank our furnaces and have our pig iroB shipped from outside sources. The firm is deter mined to maintain the stand they have taken. Wages have been reduced at other steel works, and we cannot pay higher wages and compete with them in the man ufacture of rails." Reading, Feb. 25. The impending strike of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, is an event of consider" able interest to two hundred engineers on the Reading Railroad, who lost their posi tions during the recent trainmen's troubles. These engineers were Knights of Labor and most of their positions were obtained by Brotherhood men whom they sup planted ten years befote. They now pro pose to retaliate, and a movement to this effect was started to-day, along the line of the Reading Railroad, wherever these Knights of Labor engineers are now located. In the case of the strike on the Chicago, Burlington & Quiccy Railroad they pro pose offering themselves for the places of the striking Brotherhood men. A delega tion will probably leave for Chicago early next week, with more to follow. THE E OR OPEANSl T OA TI ON Tne Ultimate Issue Is War An All! ance Between France and Bmili, (Copyright by the N. Y. Associated Press ) Berlin, Feb. 25. The skill of the players in the game of diplomacy now pro ceeding before the eyes of Europe, makes its successive developments in the highest degree interesting; but everybody recog nizes the fact that the ultimate issue is war, whatever temporary advantage diplomatic trickery may achieve. The Bismarck Kalnoky combination may soon entrap Russia into a false position from which only submission with supreme humilia tion can rescue her, unless she prefers war with incomplete preparations, or the Czar's advisers may manage to postpone the final crisis until they deem that the fitting mo ment to strike has come. In playing this waiting game Russia has scored the first siccess. Bismarck's formal invitation to the Czar to demand restitution of Russian preponderance in Bulgaria, concealed be neath its apparent frankness the pitfall for Russian diplomacy. If the Czar had in terpreted the invitation to mean that Rus sia was free to restore her status in Bul garia by force, the crisis would have been precipitated and Russia would have been drawn into the fighting allies' trap. This has been avoided, and the protracted contest of negotiations will now be preceded by the tragedy of war. There will be much wearisome yearn ing about the collective notes, differences amongst the Powers, the concert of the Powers for deposition of Prince Ferdinand, concessions of Russia, adhesions by Austria, &c, but amid them all the situation will re main unchanged. The Porte may conde scend to the mockery of denouncing Ferdi nand, if the Powers decide to declare that the order of things in Bulgaria is not quite in accordance with the Bsrlin treaty, but the result will be n Prince Ferdinand will not succumb till he is ousted by force. The central Powers will accept no Russian candidate nor any settlement the Czar can propose. Meanwhile Russia has taken ad vantage of the delay to complete negotia tions for the French alliance, to extend the mobilization of her force, which is now practically progressing, and to set troops in line of battle, with her immense resources recognized since the discovery of defects in the transportation and commissariat de partments.
