THE BOND INQUIRY Senator Peffer Again Called Up His Resolution. AND MR. HILL OPPOSED IT Spoke for Over Two Hours to Kill Time. STOPPED BY ADJOURNMENT Sherman Favors the Proposed Inquiry and Says the Resolutions Con tain No Refaction on Carlisle. Washington, May 4.— The outlined programme for the Senate procedure this week, was shattered early in the day’s session by two unexpected mo tions. When the intended action to consider the River and Harbor bill was attempted, it was antagonized by a motion to consider the Dupont elec tion case. Mr. Mitchell with consid erable display of feeling sought to prevent this course, but by an Aye and Nay vote, resulting 31 to 32, the Sen ate decided to take up the Dupont case. tater an agreement was effected to postpone the matter until the River and Harbor bill was passed, the final vote in the election case to be taken two days after consideration was be gun. Mr. Call (Dem., Fla.), called up his resolution for a special committee of four Senators to investigate alleged election irregularities in Florida. When last before with a modification re was adopted with a modification re quiring the regular committee on Priv ileges aud Elections to conduct the investigation. As Mr. Call desired a special com mittee, he pressed the resolution in its original form. Mr. Sewell, (Rep., N. J.), moved to table the resolution which was de feated. Mr. Harris’ motion to refer the res olution to the committe on Privileges and Elections prevailed 35 —22. At 2 o’clock, Mr. Peffer occasioned another flurry. At that time the Bond resolution was laid before the Senate as the unfinished business. It was supposed the resolution would give way but Mr. Peffer insisted on going on, saying,he had yielded to three appro priation bills and would yield no longer. Mr. Jlill declared thut this “politi eal-financial-partisan” resolution was entitled to no privilege. Mr. Sherman said he thought the bond resolution should be acted on promptly, in view of the previous un derstandings and the desirability of granting any request for information on Treasury or bond transactions. He did not think the Secretary of the Treasury would object to it There was no "reflection on him. The bond resolution should be disposed of in a few hours. Mr. Frye, in charge of the River and Harbor bill, finally moved to proceed with that bill. The effect of this mo tion. if adopted, would have been to displace the bond resolution, and prac cally defeat it. The motion was defeated —nays, 37; ayes, 28. When the vote was announced, Mr. Frye remarked that he was indiffer to the result, but it should be un derstood that this action w as a serious blow to the River and Harbor bill. Let me suggest to the Senator from Maine,” inter jxosed Mr. Wolcott, “that the country will be delighted to know that these appropriation bills, carry .ing Bullions, have been laid aside un til some information is had as to bonds wilich furnish the funds.” Mr. Hill (then secured the floor, tak ing up the thread of his speech, op posing the bond, resolution, begun many days ago. Mr. Hill referred to the “Massachu setts and Maryland combination,” in Awaking of the votes of Mr. Lodge and Mr. Gorman, just given in favor of the Ixmd resolution. The Senator spoke of Mr. Peffer’s re cent course in striking out of the resolutions (the offensive insinuations against the Secretary of the Treasury. By doing this, Mr. Hill said, there had been struck out the only allegations on which the resolutions could be based. Now it was proposed to have an investigation without any allega tion. Mr. Sherman asked Mr. Hill to point out any objectionable feature in the resolutions, adding that, he would like to know r if there was any reflection on Secretary Carlisle, for if there was, he would object to it. as the Secretary was not open to offensive criticism. Mr. Hill responded thalt this debate had forced the author of the resolu tion to strike out the offensive state ments. On that alone the Senate and country was to be congratulated. At one (time it looked as though the Sen ate was bound to throw mud. “I would have the Senate treat John G. Carlisle just as a Democratic House of Representatives treated John Sher man,” said Mr. Hill. Mr. Sherman rose to say that he had, while Secretary of the Treasury, will ingly submitted to every Congressional inquiry. “Bfc should be known,” said he, “that tfbere is a law dating from the time of Alexander Hamilton, requiring the Secretary of the Treasury to submit to any inquiry from Congress.” Mr. Hill thought that should the House or Senate desire any information us to the sale of bonds, or other data regarding the conduct of the Treasury department, that a courteous note ad- KALEIGH, N. C., TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 5, 1896. dressed to the head of that depart ment to appear in person before the committee and give the facts desired, or even reply by written communi eation would be promptly met, and would suffice. Messrs. Sherman, Gray and Gordon, supported Mr. Hill in this position, the former reading the statute pro viding that any committee of the House or Senate, might cail upon the Secretary of the Treasury for any date he might have as to the business of the Treasury department, or even might call on him to appear in per son. Mr. Nelson, (Rep., Minn.), made an effort to secure the passage of a pri vate bill, for which purpose Mr. Hill yielded, but an objection from Mr. Peffer prevented action. Mr. Hill took this incident as a text for further discussion stating that now everything was revolving about this great bond investigation. “Appro priation bills,” he said, “were thrust aside, private bills were obstructed all to allow this combination to throw mud at this administration, and at the same time, make an effort to vindicate itself.” It became apparent that Mr. Hill was .speaking mainly to consume time and the galleries became thinned and but few Senators remained in their seats. * While the Republican side was deserted, Mr. Mills unexpectedly re quested Mr. Hill to allow r him to move an adjournment, stating that he be lieved Mr. Hill to be quite, tired, after having spoken for two hours. Mr. Hill acquiesced and the motion carried. Messrs. Lodge and Chandler and oth er Republicans hurriedly entered from the cloak rooms and made an effort to defeat the motion, by a call for a quorum and aye and nay vote. Both were refused, and on a division the motion stood 13 to 12, in favor of ad journment, and then at 5 p. m., the Senate adjourned until to-morrow. NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. Skirmish in the' House Over Reduction of Number of Battleships. Washington, May 4.—The first skirmish over the Senate amendment to the Naval Appropriation bill, re ducing the number of battleships from 4 to 2, occurred in the House to day when Mr. Boutelle, chairman of the Naval committee, moved to non concur in all the Senate amendments and request a conference of the Sen ate. Mr. Boutelle undertook to chas tize some of the Senators for their inconsistency. He referred to the war scares of the past winter and the belli cose resolutions Introduced in the Sen ate and then practically contrasted the war talk of some of the Senators with their votes to reduce the number of battleships provided for in the bill. lie went on to refer to the “remark able aim extraordinary propositions,” advanced in the Senate to maintain this “novel and aggressive attitude.” He briefly sketched the bills introduc ed by Mr. Chandler for the purchase of $100,000,000 of war material, the re solution of Mr. Hale for calling out the Naval reserves and the purchase qf vessels and all the other bills and reso lutions introduced bearing on the Cuban question. He quoted from Mr. Vest’s speech in the Senate, in which the Missouri Senator referred to Spain as a “toothless old wolf,” a speech which Mr. Boutelle said caused great excitement throughout Spain. “If it were parliamentary,” said Mr. Bou telle, “I would say that the record shows that that Senator voted to strike out half the House provision for strengthening the Navy. He quoted Mr. Allen, who he said, voted to strike out all provision for the Navy and also the declaration of Senator Sherman, who voted to strike out two battle shij>B aud was proceeding to read Senator Hill’s resolution, when Mr. Quigg, (Rep., N. Y.), jumped to his feet, and called Mr. Boutelle to order for violating the rule which provides that members of the House shall not criticise the proceedings In the Sen ate. “When the gentleman from New York has served lierer somewhat longer than he has,” sard Mr. Boutelle, “he will have learned that in order to es cape all possible strictures under the rule, it is necessary only to state a hypothetical case. This is a point of order frequently made here, but almost always by new members.” But the Speaker evidently did not coincide with Mr. Bouteiie’s opinion. “The chair has the impression that the point of order is well taken,” he said, amid some applause. Mr. Boutelle protested against such a ruling, declaring that the idea that a member could not read from the rec ords of the Senate or any other legisla tive body on earth, was a “monstrous proposition.” He said he was amazed at such an infantile point of order. Mr. Gnosvenor (Rep., Ohio), decided with Mr. Boutelle, and Mr. Gow (Rep., Pa.), thought the record could be re ferred to, but not commented upon. Mr. Boutelle, however, acoihplished all that he intended, despite the Chair’s ruling. Subsequently, Mr. Sayers, of Texas, moved to concur in the Senate amendment reducing the number of battleships, but, by consent, the mo tion w'ent over for action until to-mor row, when it is likely that the whole question of large apropriations at this time for strengthening the navy, will be opened and ventilated. Quite a number of bills w r ere passed during the day, mostly of minor im portance. Among them were bills for the protection of yacht owners and shipbuilders, to authorize the construc tion of a bridge across the Illinois river at Grafton, Illinois; to create a new di vision of the Eastern judicial district of Texas; to pension Gen. Joseph It. est, at the rate of SSO per month, and to authorize South Dakota to select the Fort Sully Military reservation a» part of the lands granted to that State. CITY ELECTIONS YESTERDAY.

Washington, May 4.—(Special)— There was quite a little flutter this morning among North Carolinians on the receipt by Congressman Linney of a telegram from Cy.

Try to save him.” Mr. Linney at once hustled off to the St&te departmet, and w-as there most of the day. Air. Olney said that no hasty action would be taken by the Spanish authorities, and that the whole thing would probably be straightened out in the next t\yo or three weeks. At a this was supposed to be a passen ger on board the boat Competitor, but information here is that all the pas sengers had been landed at Barr;was before the vessel was overhauled by the Spaniards. Air. Linney could not say whether Mr. Mathis was going to Cuba as a newspaper man, or to join the revolu tionists. At any rate, there is no im mediate alarm about the case. Air.
