(skinner's Lumber Bill Other Gossip.
Washington', Jan. 1G. The Sen
ate is at present occupied in listening
to Butler and Teffer. The old Kan
sas "Whiskers" read everybody out
of the chamber vesterdav, and has
not yet got through his pile of man-
1 usenpt. there will be probably ten
I davs of this sort of thiDg Mean
while, the House is occupying itself
with passing a pension bill of $141,
00,.'00, which will be put through
today, no doubt. The pension ap
propriation have been as foilows:
18-S7, $7f;,000,0O0; 18S8, $86,000,
000; 18S9, $80,000,000; 1890, $107,
000,(100; 1891, $127,000,000; .1892,
$143,000,000; 1893, $160,000,00(1;
1894, $100,000,000; 1895, $151,000,
000. The political chess play that
is going on between the Reed and
McKinley men is evidenced by the
buncombe ten minute speeches that
are so lightly tossed off even iu the
month of this colossal and treasury
voting bill. Reed is not losing a
move.
Settle yesterday introduced a bill
providing for the enlargement of the
rederal building at (Jreensboro and
asking for $25,000.
Skinner yesterday introduced a
bill "to prot-ct lumber,' L vying a
tariff as follows: On sawed boards,
planks, deals and other lumber rough,
$1 00 per thousand fie'; lumber of
any kind planed or sin faced oneor
two sides, $1. 50 per thousand feet;
lumber of any kind worked to a
specific form of manufacture, such

Washington, Jan lO.-The Senr

Washington. Jan ir. Senator
Butler opened his head yesterday at
precisely two o'clock and closed it at
4. 'JO. I sent you yesterday the reso
lution to which he spoke. There wao
a sudden vanishing of Senators until
only 7 were left at the start and
most of these were conversing or
writing. Suppose I give the picture
as it really was: Butler had on
clean cuffs and his 8ampson country
Sunday doe-skin coat all hanging
down before. He had circled around,
and spoke from Senator Stewart's
seat so as to command the "body."
Tillman sat on one of the sofas, chit
ting with some friends. Skinner
and Shuford and Stroud and Bell, of
Colorado, had come over from the
House side as willing sacrifices.
Pntchard was in his seat, but did
not seem to hear a word. Strange to
sav, old Sherman and Morrill listened
for a "short while. Perhaps they are
utter hypnotizing the young Senator
for further uses. The only thing
Peffer does to earn his salary is to
listen to:.il t l e speeches that an
made; they s-jy h,. h; never missed
one; he i!o. sn't oun take time to
shave; and so be listened. There
were present in the Senate when
Butler began besides these mentioned,
Senators Stewart, Jones of Arkansas
Pugh, Lindsay, Call, Congressman
Kerran l mhho other congressmen.
Hill came iu presently made a pass
at Butler to bedevil him, and went
out laughing. The audience began
to thin; Sherman and Morrill got out
and so did Skinner; Shuford ami
Stroud still stuck; the listners waned
to about ten, and it was dismal. It
was well that Pritchard stayed:
Butler presently gave him something
worth listening to: I took down the
words; here they are in extracts: "A
man who claims to be for silver
and who votes for a gold
man for President is the most valu
able friend the gold men can have."
"He thus betrays his peo
ple in the interest of hartv success."
"The test of every man's
patriotism is who will he support
for President?" -How can
a silver man be for a gold man for
President!" This won't be bad to
repeat to Mr. "McKinley" Pritch
ard at some other time wheu the
moment is ripe.
Collector F. M. Simmons arrived
yesterday to see Commissioner Mil
It r on routine business. Mr. R. S.
Jones, of Raleigh, accompanies Mr.
Simino ns.
Senator Ransom is expected today
in time for the meeting tomorrow of
the National Committee.
' The insiders say that Shaw has
all his triggers set and is almost
sure to keep his seat. On the other
liiiud, it is said that Settle is doing
all he can to unseat Woodard who,
it will be remembered, voted against
Settle in his contest. This is retali
ation, if not justice.
Tin y say that nobody has been
able to find out which way Senator
Martin will vote on silver, except
his wife Senator Daniels says he
don't know, and e'ven the S tutor's
brother, who is his private Secreta
ry, says he don't know. . The vote
will be close, aud much interest
thus attaches to .Martin's vote. But
it is thought by some that the jun
ior Virginia Senator will vote for
sHver under the influence of his
colleague Daniel, for whom he is
kuown to have great admiration.
