The violin ist, with his usual punctuality, pre sented himself at the 'hour, determin ed to stand no nonsense, j "Where js your-violin," demanded the superin tendent; "In the case,"! responded OlelDull cooly. "And where is the rase?" "At the hotel." l"But did I not tell ydu to play for me?" "Ex cuse me, sir, was the -ansAvejj "I did not think you were in earnest.

Report Made in Senate on the Transporta tion and Sale of Meat Products-Senate Bill to Protect Trade and Commerce Against Unlawful Eestrainta ' and Mo nopolies Considered and Passed in the . House. . - I i By Telegraph to the Morning Star. SENATE. ; - .. Washington, May 1. Mr. Vest pre sented and explained the report of the. special committee of the Senate, ap pointed in May ,.1888, on the transporta tion and sale ot meat products. It is a long document, about 100 type written pages, accompanied by copy oi testimo ny taken by the committee in prose cuting its inquiries at St. Louis, Chicago and New York, and is signed fcy all mem bers of the committee. J ., After debate on amendments the bill went over till to-morrow, and the Sen ate adjourned. i , " ' HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. McKinley, from the Committee on Rules, reported! a resolution for the immediate consideration of bills reported from the Judiciary Committee m the following order: Senate bill j relating to trusts; House bill relating to copyrights; House bill relating to bankruptcy, and such other bills asi the Committee may call up. This order to be j in force to day and to-morrow. . I , The previous question was ordered yeas 151, nays 70. j Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, moved tr rprommit tne resoiuiiuu, wini in structions to the Committee on nuies to report back a resolution j fixing a day fnrthp mnsideration of the Anti-trust bill alone. This motion nnuQ 12i5. I was lostyeas 97, The resolution was then adopted, and tin- House, in accordance with its terms, proceeded to consider the Senate bill to nrntprt trade ana commerce asu"31- unlawful restraints and monopolies. ' Mr.' Culberson.! of Texas, advocated the bill. It . confined itself, he said, to subjects over which there was confess edly no question! about the' power of Cnno-fess to legislate and did not in vade any doubtful grounds.,1 .He did not L-nmr nor rould lanv mart know until the nnostion had been determined by th rniirts. what contracts would be rnvpred bv the terms of the bill. ; Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, inquired what effect the bill would have upon manufacturers of proprietary articles, who fixed their own pncei' Mr. Culberson replied nninion. if the centleman that in his Massa- from rhnsetts sold his Rising Sun stove pol ish to a retailer under contract that the retailer should sell at a fixed price and receive a commission, this contract irl he in restraint of trade. But it was difficult to tell iust what contracts were embraced in the provisions of the bill. No one could tell just how broad a swath was cut, , i UDon this explanation of Mr. Culber son some of the opposition to the bill in subsequent debate was based, mem bers declaring their opposition to a bill which needed a decision of the court to interpret. ' .. .. ; Mr, Culberson was plied with a. fire of questions as to how the bill would oper ate in criven cases. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, inquired if the bill! goes as far as thi constitutisnal i mwer of Congress can eor Mr. Culberson replied that in his opinion it did. I i ! 7 Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, c'riti' cized the majority for I its method of conducting business. There was no great legislative chamber among any of the foremost nations of the world in which there was so much blind voting as in the American House of Representa tives. Rules were so administered that no member could tell what measure was to be brought up for the day's deliberations. The Committee on Rules came in, morning after morning.! with resolutions for the immediate consideration of some great public question.! This perform ance was fast becommu; a tapestry upon free eovernment. and ithe House was legislating, not under: the committee system, but under the) caucus system. Here was a bill bristling with pains and penalties making -criminal acts which to-day were not criminal, deranging the course oi traae among .ne states, intro ducing doubt aud distrust into business, yet the House was called upon to put it on the statute books without deliberate or intelligent discussion, when the gentleman in charge of it (Mr. Culber-son)i-as learned and able a lawyer as therq was in the House said time and again that it could only be interpreted by the Gourts. He did not believe that the bill would accomplish its object!. The first and most deadly blow at trusts, he said, must come, not from Congress, but from the btates. ihe states gave the charters. The courts of New Yprk had held that when a corporation, chartered by. th( law of the State for public purposes, en tered into a combination by the surren der of its stock, it vacated its charter. If anybody supposed that this bill, no mat ter now it bristled with pains and penal ties,; would prevent cbmbinations in the nature of trusts, he did not understand the machinery and method of operation ol trusts. He then asked what was the cause of trusts, and discussed; the question from tne. standpoint oi a tarirt retormer in a speech of considerable length. Repub- I licans of the House, jhe said, were bring ing in in one hand ai bill to strengthen the trusts of the country (the Tariff bill), and in the" other a bill that nobody knew the meaning of, and that might in troduce cTiaos into business, professedly io punisn incra. r "I hear a lion in the lobby roar. Say, Mr. Speaker, shall we close the door and keep him out? or shall we let him in, and see it we can cet him ; out airain?" The Democrats said, "Close the door." The Republicans said, "Let him in, and. then we will try to get him out again." ine KepuPiicans invited trusts and then punished them. jMr. Sayres, of Texas; offered an amendment authorizing the President to place on the: free list any imported article which is the) subject of a trust-in this country. Ruled out On a point of oraer. . ; . r . ! Mr. E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, said that the fact that the gentleman from West Virginia had talked about a matter not. before the House jdemonstratcd the ne cessity of having rules by which some legislation might sometimes be passed. He regretted that the gentleman had not retained his tariff speech until next week, for if he had had more time he would have been more interesting i The gentlemari had said that in this country the .tariff caused trusts. Where the tariff operated most largely there were no trusts. There was none in the iion industry; there was none in the woollen industry there was none in the cotton industry, The gentleman SDoke of the tariff on itin plate. Did he not know that every pound i of that article that came to thi$ country came through a syndicate, not in this country, but in Europe. The gentleman's proposi tion was to leave this country at the mercy of foreign trusts, while' if there was a protective! tariff on tin plate Ame rican manufacturers could compete with foreign trusts, " In regard to the pending bill Mr. Taylpr said that it went as far as any legislation which could be passed under the Constitution. It must be supple mented with legislation by the States. What the precise definition of a trust was and whether the; state of facts would, justify the penalties being im posed could be- ascertained only by sub mission to the Courts, r . The debate was continued by Messrs. I I - ...... . - - - I - I Cannon McMillinV 'Bland, McKinley, era or- Artcan sas. stocKaaie ana jcnioe. Mr... Bland offered an amendment making unlawful any contract or agree ment to prevent competition in the sale or purchase of any commodity trans ported, trom one state to onotner. tin believed that this amendment would strike at the beef trust of Chicago with out leaving it to the Courts to decide. -Mr. Bland s amendment was aaoptea on a viva voce vote ana tne diu was passed in the same manner witha sin gle dissenting vote. . W : ' Mr. Adams, of Illinois, next called up the International Copyright bill and ex plained its provisions. He sata that since his report the bill had been criti cally examined by a number of promi nent lawyers, ana as a consequence ii would be necessary to adopt some purely formal amendments to perlect the intent of tfie bill. Under its terms the. Ameri can people would get cheaper literature of the best class tnan at present.; n would also enlarge the privileges of American authors. Mr. Adams was called upon to answer - a good many questions, and in .reply to all jof these said that he was iniormeq mat? xne diu would not strike at what are known as oatent inside newspapers,; but was not absolutely assured on that poirit. Without acting on the Dili tne nouse at 5.15 adjourned. j f SENATE. Washington, May 2. Among the bills reported from committees anq placed on the calendar were the followj- ing: Senate bill for a public building at Columbus, Ga., $100,000; bill for the classification cloths as woollens. ! - and House of : worsted Mr. Cullom. from the Committei ittee oh i report Inter-State-Commerce,l mad$ a with testimony on the subject of Ameri can commerce by Canadian; railroadsl Ordered to be printed. Mr. Vest introduced a bin ; to araenn the Inter-State Commerce act. stating that its object was to place express com- panies under tne provisions oi mat act. and asks the attention of the Inter-State Commerce Committee to the" subject, j Mr. Cullom stated the Committee had had that subject under Consideration, but because of the pressure 6f more im portant legislation as to carriers, that had been postponed. The Committee, he said, would probably take up the question again, especially asthe bill had been introduced. -11 ! I The bill was referred to the Commit tee on Inte-State Commerce.- j The concurrent resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Dolph, requesting the President to enter into negotiations with the Governments ot Great Britain and Mexico, with a view to securing treaty stipulations for the prevention of the entry of Chinese laborers into the United States, was taken up and agreed to. r- !

The amendment was rejected, j Mr. Gray s amendment was reiecte n without division, i ; i ; ! As the Finance Committee had shown its hostility to the! amendment suggested yesterday by Mr. Hiscock. Mr. Lvarts ottered an amendment oi ms own! namely, to insert in the 15th sec tion a provision that the Circuit Court shall give priority to, and proceed to try and ! determine the case.! i i Mr. Vest offered an amendment pro vidingthat in case of ad valorem dutios no, duty shall be charged oh packings or cases, nor on the cost of transportation from the place of purchase to the vessel in which the goods are ; shipper! to tne United States. Iri-the course of a tariff speech in the advocacy of his amend mentMr, Vest read from the report of theTariff Commission in 1883, to show that the estimate then j placed on each averaged ten per cent., so that their taxa tion under the pending bill would in crease the tariff to that extent. The billj therefore, would,, under disguise of being an administrative r measure, work an increase ot the tanlt duty. He had a table prepared for him by two experts to show that in some classes ! of glass ware the pending bill would increase the present duties Irom 4o per' cent, to 77 percent., and the McKinley tariff bill (if passed) would increase them to 20a per cent., while in other cases (chimneys lor jstudent's lamps) duties would be in creased to 430 per cent. ; '; 1 1 Mr. Morrill said that as to increased duties on glass the Senator from Mis souri had no right to assume that the bertate would agree to them, ! Mr. Vest had no laith in that sugges tion. He knew that j whatever action woiild be taken by the I Senate on the tariff ibill would be in accordance with thel platform of the Republican party, on which Harrison was elected, and that was to increase duties up to a point necessary to exclude every article that competed with a like article made in the, united btates, Mr. Vests amendment was rejected.!;: liscussion was interrupted in order to receive a message from the House. announcing the passage of j the .: Senate Anti-trust bill, with an Amendment, Mr!. Sherman wished to ; have the amendment concurred in, but Mr. Vest thought it should be referred! to the- Judiciary Mmmtttee, and that was done. . . j i j .

I Adjourned HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. I Mr. Davidson, of Florida, presented a protest of the citizens j of Key West against the tobacco schedule of ths tariff bill. Referred. I i ; On motion of Mr. 6'Neill, of Penn syivania, a resolution was adopted set ting apart Saturday,! June 14th, for the delivery of eulogies- upon the late Sam uel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania. J The House then j resumed the con' sideration of the Coovr teht bill. ' Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, said that the Ostensible purpose of the bill was to ex tend the rights of American authors to foreign authors, but the j measure meant yastly more than this. ! The inevitable Result of it would be t6 create a gigantic publishing monopoly, Which would raise the price of every book and , periodical pnniea in tnis country, and would im- ipvse a tax on every reader ot books from the boy with his primer to the college professor " with his scientific work. .It would! affect the readei,""of every periodical, and every reader of a rural newspaper would ; suffer. HThe argument that the foreign author; was robbed of something that was his just due, when : his works were vublished here, and that the American author was subject to the same species of ; robbery abroad, was based on the Idea that! the author was indebted to the State ) and people for nothing, and . that his works were not a creation of his surroundings and his associations. The ; most casual observer knew that this was not truei The State rand people had .done as much for ihe . author as he j bad done for them. The American author was protected in tbe labor of his brain for a. period of forty-three vears. iFree schools and free libraries had given him 4 a constituency ot over sixty million peo ple who rejoiced in his success and paid him . willingly, the price he put upon his work. The bill could not be passed on the idea of justice to American au thors. The rights of American people shonld be considered. The benefit de rived from cheap editions of foreign books could not be too highly i esti mated. Congress should not yield to the false sentiment urged by friends of the measure, but should look to the needs of the American people, and legis late in their interest againsfall the world. He denounced as damnable the third section of the bill which he de clared prohibited the importation of foreign books. Foreign " authors had formed a combination with certain la bor organizations for the purpose of making a trust and controlling this mar ket. Labor organizations, when ' they come to understand the question, would denounce the measure. . : I Mr. Simonds,.of Connecticut, argued in favor of the bill. The American peo ple were beginning to understand how great a wrong was being done to au thors, and they were determined that a stop should be put to this wrong-doing. , I ! Mr. Bland characterized the bill as a scheme for monopoly. ! ! The bill was further Opposed i by Messrs. Mills, Culberson and Peters, of Kansas, (who had held that the bill .would strike'a blow at "patent insides,") Anderson, of Kansas, Stockdale, Pay son and Linde, and was advocated by Mr. McAdoo, who said the copyright,law was by Moses in stone tablets, in the words, 'IthOu shalt not steal." j Mr. Moore, of New Hampshire, Who said he had been a newspaper publisher from boyhood, knew all about patent in sides, and asserted that the pending bill would not affect them irt any way. j Mr. Carlisle said be would vote for it on account of the general principle in volved. I ! Two amendments were adopted, but on a vote on engrossment and : third reading of the bill, it was defeated yeas 98, nays 120. j j Before the announcement o1 the J re sult Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, who voted in the affirmative, changed his votejto the negative, for the purpose of moving reconsideration. I J Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table, and Mr. Adams, of Illinois, to take a re cess. A vote was taken on the recess motion, and it was defeated, but as the hour of 5 o'clock arrived the chair! de clared that under the rule the House was in recess until 8 o'clock. A motion to reconsider and lay that motion on the tabic goes over to be acted upon to morrow. , SENATE. it Washington, May 3. Mr. I Frye, from the Committee on Commerce, said he was instructed bv that Committee to report two important bills. The first bill was to place the American merchant marine, engaged in foreign trade, on an equality with that of other nations.This, he proceeded to say, is the bill known as the Shipping League Tonnage bill. It provides for the payment of thirty cents ton for every thousand miles sail ed, and includes all vessels iron, steel. wood, sail and steam from ! five hun dred tons upward. It provides that they shall be what would be regarded as ships ot a very tine order. It pp- vides that they shall carry a certain pro portion of American citizens as sailors; that they shall be officered by Ameri can citizens, and that they may be taken by the government. I he cost ot this bill, according to the Commissioner of Navigation, would probably be for the first year between three and three and a hall million dollars, and would in crease, in his opinion, within six ! years, to five or six million dollars. The bill would save to the people of the United States many millions for every million that it would cost. It has been sup ported by resolutions of innumerable Boards of Trade and Chambers ot Com merce, bv tne National Orange, and (1 am intormed) bv the rarmers' Rational njnance. I also report a bill to provide for ocean man service petweenitne unnea States and foreign States, and to pro mote commerce. It is an original bill. It provides that the Postmaster General may contract tor the carrying ot United btates mails in United btates ships, Ovvhed bv American citizens, between United btates ports and all foreign ports, He'may make a contract jfor not less than five and for not more than ten years' duration. The bill 'provides for four classes of steamships for which he may make contracts, the first class being steel ships ot a registered tonnage ot not less than 8,000 tons, capableot maintain mgat sea, under ordinary weather, twenty knots an hour,, and it provides that only that class of ships shall be used for the transportation of mails f between the United btates and Lreat Kritam. it provides for a second class pf shipa, of not less than 5,000 ons register and ca pable of maintaining eighteen knots an hour at sea in ordinary weather. For third class, of fourteen knots an hour and not less than 25,000 tons; and tor fourth class, of not less than 1,500 tons, Which may be of iron, steel, or wood Pay for the first .class is not to exceed S8 a mile the outer voyage; for the second class, $3for the third class, Sl.50; and for the fourth class, $1. j Vessels of the first three classes are to be of such character that they! can! be utilized i ase of foreign war as armed cruisers. Mr. Frye affirmed that within three years after the passage of this latter bill a line of the best ships in the world American built and officered would be running to Liverpool, another to the River Platte, South America, and two from the Pacific Coast to China, Japan and Australia. The two bills were read a first and second time and placed on the calen dar. , . Messrs. Vest and! Coke, members of the Committee on Commerce, an nounced their entire dissent from both bills presented by Mr. Frye. ; The Senate bill for the relief of Na thaniel McKay, and of executors of Don aid McKay, (referring to the Court of Claims, their claim for further eompen' sation tor tne construction ot the iron clad monitors Squando and Nauset, and the side-rwheel steamer Ashuelot), was passed yeas 38; nays 10; (all Demo crats). " j j ' The calendar was then resumed and several bills were passed, At 4.30 Mr. Harris interrupted pro ceedings with the announcement ot the sudden death of Senator Beck, and the Senate afonce adjourned,! The Senate flag was placed at.half-mast, and Mr. In galls, acting President, despatched as sistant Sergeat-at-arms to make arrange ments for the funeral.) ! v HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES." Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, called up his motion to table the motion to reconsid er the vote by which the House yester day refused to order the Copyright bill to engrossment and third reading. The Speaker ruled that the time al- lotted to tne ummiwr on mc yuui ciary having expired, it was not in order now to call up this motion. The motion could not be called up until anpther day had been assigned for the consideration of business from the Committee on the Judiciary. . -V . !' - . The House then went into Commit tee of the Whole, (Mr. Peters, of ; Kan sas, m the chair), on the Diplomatic" and Consular Appropriation bill. Three speeches were1 made, ait politi cal. " f - Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, made an argument in favor of reciprocity with the . . . a . r l 7 '. A Kutn American . rvepuuncs, iiuu ex pressed much regret that- the Fan American delegates had not visited the Southern States. Mr. Chipman, of i Michigan, found fault with the -existing diplomatic and consular system of the; United States, as not going far enough, &nd as being in efficient m promoting commercial rela tions with foreign countries, and in pro tecting American traders. Our foreign commerce policy was riot aggressive, and, consequently we are falling behind such1 nations as England, uermany ano, France. Mr. McAdoo, of New Jersey, contend-: ed that the diplomatic system was use-i less and vicious.; - It should be disconj tinued. and in its stead the government should have a good and. reformed con4 sular system. " At the close of Mr. Mo? Adoo's remarks Mr. Hill, of Illinois, in charge of the bH, said sarcastically, that in view of the searching and thorough examination of the bill that had been! made in the speeches delivered, he thought that further general debate was not necessary. Laughter.. ' I he committee then rose and the bil was passed. ! .: On motion of Mr. Henderson, of Illir nois, and after favorable remarks by Mr. Blanchard, ot Louisiana, a joint resolu tion was passed appropriating one mil lion dollars for the improvement of the Mississippi river from the head .of the passes to the mouth ! of the Ohio riveii, such sum to be immediately available.
