Bill Passed in Senate for Increase of Num ber of Pension Agents, also the Military Academy Appropriation Bill Army Ap propriation Bill Discussed A Bill Passed in the House Granting a Pension to Mrs. Delia S. Parnell Tariff Bill Further De bated. Ey Telegraph to the Morning Star. SENATE. Washington. May 9. The question of the proper reference of a communica tion from the Treasury Department with reports from special agents as'to the evasion of laws against the entrance of Chinamen coming from Canada, led Mr. Hoar to remark, sarcastically, that in view of the alarm caused to both countries bv the presence of the unhap py Chinaman recently on the bridge at Niagara, he thought that the Committee on Grast Defences might be the pro per reference. It was referred to the Committee on Immigration. The Annual Pension Appropriation bill was taken up, the question being on the amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Sherman, increasing the number of pension agents (salary $4,000), from eighteen to twenty. The amendment was agreed to yeas 2.. nays 19; a party vote, except that Mr. Payne voted aye. and Messrs. Alli son. IngaJls. Plumb and Teller voted no. having been reported The bill- having been back from the Committee of the Whole to the Senate, on the question that the amendment came up again for action, Mr. Cockrell confessed that he was mortified andfhumiliated at the fact that the great Committee on Appropriations, headed by the distin guished Senator from Iowa, had been just ridden over rough-shod by the Re publican majority in defiance of every profession made hy that party for the last twenty years. This was a "reform administration," an "economical ad ministration." and yet here was a Re publican majority in the Senate creating two offices of no more earthly benefit than the man burning sticks in the moon. The amendment was discussed by Messrs. Plumb, Blair. Sherman, Faulk ner, Allison. Paddock and Gorman. Fi nally the discussion closed, and the vote on Mr. Sherman s amendment was again taken. It was agreed to yeas, 22; nays, 21. Mr. Payne again voted with the Re publicans, and Messrs. Allison, Inealls and Plumb with the Democrats. Mr. Teller, who had also voted with them on the former occasion, refrained from voting. The bill was then passed, and the Mil itary Academy bill was taken up and passed. The Army Appropriation bill was then taken up. Among the amendments re ported from the Committee on Appro priations and agreed to by the Senate was a paragraph appropriating $100,000 for buildings at military posts, for libra ries, gymnasiums, amusement rooms and canteens. Mr. Hale, iu connectfon with it. moved an amendment providing that no alco holic liquors, beer or wine shall be sold or supplied to enlisted men in any such building at any military post. Mr. Gorman submitted that as the paragraph had been struck out, there was no propriety in submitting such a proviso. If the House should insist up on restoring the paragraph, then the Conference Committee could prescribe the conditions. Mr. Hall thought it as well to estab lish now the proposition contained in his amendment. If the paragraph were re stored to the bill the proviso ought to go wun it. The discussion on this amendment be came a discussion of the canteen sys tem as against the post tradership sys tem, and of temperance in the army, and occupied the remainder of the day's session. Mr. Cockrell moved to amend the amendment by striking out beer and wine. The vote resulted yeas 12, nays 18; no quorum voting. The Senate then at 5 p. m. adjourned till to-morrow; leaving Mr. Hall's amend ment to the Army bill and Mr. Cock rell's amendment to the amendment pen ding. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Hill, of Illinois, called up the bill coming over from Friday last), grant ing a pensionof $1,200 a year to Delia S. Parnell. daughter of Admiral Charles Stewart, with an amendment reducing the pension to $50 per month. Mr. Cummings. of New York, in op posing the amendment, said that the proposed pension was to be granted to Mrs. Parnell. not because she was the mother of Charles Stewart Parnell. but because she was the daughter of Admi ral Stewart, whose brilliant services to his country he portrayed at length. Admiral Stewart was in active service for seventy-one vears, and was the senior officer in the navy for seventeen years. He (Cummings) appealed to members of the House as Americans, to allow the pension to remain at $1,200 a year. Mr. Hill said that the Committee on Invalid Pensions had carefully con sidered all the facts in the case, and had concluded that $-50 a month was the proper pension to grant. The amendment was agreed to, 35 to 26. and the bill as amended was passed. The House then went into Commit tee of the Whole, Mr. Payson. of Illi nois, in the chair, on the Tariff bill. Mr. r itch, of New l ork, opened the debate, beginning his argument with a charge against Mr. McKinley of incon sistency between his speeches now and those of two years ago. The bill, he said, was a makeshift to meet the politi cal situation. When the Republican party proposed to say that the tariff question had been settled to the perma nent disadvantage of the people of the metropolis, it must take notice tbat to such settlement the peopkfof New York would not submit so long as the tide beat on the Battery and the Hudson plowed to the sea. Applause. nc aiacussion then took a colloauial '"c ume Detwern Mc, for the support of their own government bv collecting something from the people of foreign governments. It was absurd to make a proposition of this sort. No man of sincerity would question the reposition that the people of the United tates alone paid every dollar that went into the treasury. The people were vitally interested in understanding why it was that so large an amount of that which represented to them labor and toil should be taken and accumulated as a surplus in the Treasury. The tariff was a tax paid primarily by the importer, but re-collected by him from the indi vidual to whom he sold his yard of cot ton or suit of clothes. The article which came for sale was charged with every item of expense that entered into it up to the time when it came to the consumer. Ninety per cent, of the manufactured articles used in this country were (it was claimed) Produced by domestic manufactures, he existing law had given them a market practically without competition iu very many manufactured articles. The prices of those articles in this country, compared with the prices of those articles in other countries, were more dear, and not more cheap. He did not believe that to the manufacturer protection had been a beneficial system. As to laborers in manufacturing estab lishments, as to farmers throughout the land, he felt sure that the system had been injurious. The system drove out competition. It diminished the number of producers of a given article, and in creased the ease and facility with which they could combine to elevate the price. The majority of the Ways and Means Committee, said Mr. Crisp, was pledged to the principle of protection, and offer ed a sop to the farmer. It said to . the farmer that it had put a duty on his products, when the truth was that that would do him no good. The way to benefit the farmer was to give him free salt, to give him free cotton ties, and to reduce the prices of the necessaries of iife. The gentlemen on the the other side claimed that they were recording the verdict of the people. The people did not agree that the tariff question had been finally settled at the polls. It was generally believed that protected indus tries had put together a great campaign fund by which they bought in "blocks of five" and five hundred men to vote to carry out their ideas. After the Re publicans had obtained money and place in this way, they now proposed to refund that money in the shape of an illegal and unjust tax. Mr. Bayne, of Pa. Do you believe that? Mr. Crisp I do. I have not a shadow of doubt of it. Mr. Payne, of New York, (of the Ways and Means .Committee,) referred to the passage of the Mills bill by the Senate. The issue had been submitted to the people and they had rendered a verdict. Mr. Payne proceeded to argue in support of the bill, especially of those features which he contended would be of benefit to farmers. In the course of his remarks he stated that there had ap peared before, the Ways and Means Committee members from the other side who had asked for protection. There had come before it the Representative from Virginia, who had advocated a duty o?. Sumac, saying that if the committee. put a duty upon K he would privately bless it, though he would have to vote against the bill. Laughter. Mr. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, inquired who the Representative was? Mr. Payne I have no objection in telling you. It was your colleague, Gen. Lee. Laughter. Mr. O'Ferrall suggested that his col league was not present, and that the gentleman should not have alluded to him in his absence. His colleague, if present, would be able to speak for him self. Mr. Payne He was able to speak for himself before the committee. Laugh ter. Chairman The gentlemen seem to be agreed on this point. Laughter. Mr. O'Ferrall reiterated that the gen tleman from New York should not have alluded to Gen. Lee in his absence. Mr. Payne replied that he had men tioned the name in response to the gen tleman's inquiry. If the gentleman from Virginia (Lee) could be present in his seat and be absent, he could be out of his seat and be present. Laughter.f Discussing the question of the duty on Sumatra tobacco, he was interrupted by iir. asnington, oi i ennessee, with the query whether the repeal of internal taxes on tobacco would not be for the benefit of the farmer? Mr. Payne re plied that on that question he was on record. In the 49th Congress, when he was in the minority, he had advocated the repeal of those taxes. But now when he was in the majority he thought that while Congress struck off the tax on sugar, it should not go too far and make a deficit in the Treasury. Mr. Washington suggested that the views of the gentleman varied as he was in the minority party or majority party. Mr. Payne replied that when he was in the minority he realized that half a loaf was better than no bread. He was willing to take even a slice. But when he was in the majority and the majori ty was responsible and had things its own way, he believed that that majority should fix things just as it thought best all along the line. Applause and laughter. Discussing get from eternal en jdyment, thar await ed theriL. He then proceedfidto criti-; cize in detail the, features of the bill, and to denounce all special privileges and- benefits. He closed his speech with a glowing eulogy of the mission; performances and future of the Demo cratic party. " The Committee then rose and the House took a recess till 8 o'clock. WASHINGTON NEWS. Another Caucus of Republican Senators on the Silver Question A Satisfactory Con- elusion of the Matter If ear at Hand. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, May 9. Another meet ing of the Republican Senatorial Caucus was held to-day, at which the Silver question was again under consideration. It is said that the only proposition dis cussed was one making a full legal ten der of the notes issued for the purchase of bullion, the bullion redemption clause having been abandoned by those who advocated it. 1 he Caucus was at tended by about two-thirds of the Re publican Senators, and while the majori ty were in favor of making the notes of full legal tender, it was decided to postpone formal action of the proposi tion until another time, when there shall be a full attendance. It is said that a number of the friends of the legal tender idea were not present to-day, and that on a full vote the majority in its favor will be even larger than it was this morn ing. Various Senators, representing both sides of the question, while declining to talk of the proceedings of the caucus, united in saying that a desire lor agree ment upon the measure was more mani fest than for some days past, and they ex pressed the opinion that a satisfactory conclusion of the matter would be ar rived at.

This is the -third day's session of the General Conference of the Methodist Church South. After the religious exercises the report of the Board of Church Extension was submit ted by ; David ""Norton, Secretary. It shows the total receipts of the Board for the past four years were $109,887, and disbursements $109,804, leaving a ; cash balance on hand of $684. The report says: "Under our organic act 42, auxil liary boards, one in each annual confer ence, have been organized. Much val uable work has been done by them in the matter of securing information as to tne local welfare of their territories, ana in aiding the general board to decide the merits of places asking help of it. Immediately after the passage of the amendment by the last General Confer ence to the constitution, by which the woman's department of our work was created, Miss Lucinda B. Helen was elected secretary; she entered promptly on her work and has prosecuted it with great vigor and success. ' The standing committees reported that they had organized, and a call for memorials was begun. Memorials from the Northwest Texas Conference called for sundry changes hv.the discipline; one feature being prohibition of licens ing of women to preach."

" ' New York,', May 9. During the past week the business situation has changed but little. The leading facts .are. still enormous volume of traffic in progress, and expectation of monetary expansion. 1 ne i reaction in wneat, 01 wnicn- mere were signs a week ago, became distinct, but was followed by another upward jerk : when the State reports indicated that the official returns for May would show no improvement in the condition. Cotton is a shade weaker than a week ago,!and accounts of injury less impres sive. Iron shows no-great change, the radi cal fact in that branch being the transfer of a part of the production to Southern instead of .Northern fields. The increase in the wool supply this year: cannot be large, but the expecta tions of higher prices, so generally en tertained by growers, tend to embarrass manufacturers. Boston sales were 2,045, 000 pounds, 10 per cent, more than last year, with prices stiff. The movement of meats continues heavy at Chicago five millioa pounds dressed beef, against 945,000 last year. Beef cattle have reached the highest point for the year. Lard receipts at Chicago are nearly double, and hogs grow stronger at the West. The dry goods business continues of full volume, at Chicago larger than last year; and the shoe trade is also larger. The volume of all trade shown by the exchanges outside of New York remains about 10 per cent, above last year's, which in turn was the largest on record. Reports from interior cities indicate a fairly maintained activity. The money marketjis fairly supplied, with a prospect of increasing abundance. The business failures throughout the country during the week number for the United States 185, Canada 24, total 209; against 211 last week. ' :; - i A NOVEL CASE. ...

Trading in wheat was again very large and the feeling un settled and nervous. Prices were higher all around, and for deferred futures touched a higher point than has yet been reached on the recent up-turn. Bad crop news, which was the prime cause for the firmness yesterday, was the cause for a further advance to-day, and the short interest covered freely. The open ing for July was 22Jc higher than yes terday's closing, advanced after some fluctuations c more, then declined 2c, ruled irregular, and closed about c higher than yesterday. It was diffi cult to do anything" in Ma. v. and an easv lwtefe4Ktxaie-MvJiine, parties not car ing to make trades and disposed to close up old ones. It was not altogeth er bad crop prospects which created the nervousness and excitement which pre vailed, but no doubt the fear of a squeeze on account of meagre stocks and light receipts. The situation was not an in viting one to short sellers, however strong their belief that speculation has carried the market too high. There was a good trade in corn, prices being very irregular withiu the range of 2lc. The feeling on the opening was wild and unsteady, but soon ruled weak er and .-juickly declined. There was no new feature presented and prices were governed to a great extent by local in fluences early, and later by free selling for country account prices were strenghtened. The market opened about c higher than yesterday's close, the trade being mainly in July, but under free offerings became very weak and soon declined lc, ruled steady, and closed lower than yesterday. Oats were active and excited early in the session and a sharp advance was re corded, May selling to 29c, an advance of 2)c over yesterday's closing appre ciation due to sharp demand for "shorts" and disinclination on the part of a ma jority of the holders to sell with any de gree of freedom until the top was reached, when offerings increased and prices declined 2c. The market closed at lc advance over yesterday. June and July advanced c, but it was lost at once. - The feeling in mess pork was weak and prices ruled 2025c lower and the market dosed" tame. Trading was light. Fairly active trade was reported in lard. The feeling was rather weak du ring the greater portion of the day and prices reacted 57c. The market closed steady at the reduction. There was fair trade in short ribs, but chiefly in more deferred deliveries; prices ruled irregular and 57c lower, and the market closed rather tame. ARRIVED.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, May 9. The Sun's review of the cotton, market to-day says: Futures made only a slight advance on a much stronger report from Liver pool, but it was a listless sort of market, and if there was no decided reaction it was from an absence of sellers rather than the eagerness of the demand. Every thing awaits action on the Silver bill. Weather at the South was better, hav ing turned warmer, and from Texas ad vices were quite favorable. Red river is so high as to preclude the hope of an early abatement of the floods in the lower Mississippi, and much cotton land will no doubt remain overflowed till too late for planting. Cotton on the spot was l-16c dearer, but quiet. NORTH WATER AND MUL 1 o'clock a. -m. Monday, until 11.45 p. m. Satnrday. CHAS. P. BEOWN, Agent, mar 9 D&W tf Wilmington, N. C.
