The commission of inquiry which is investigating the alle gations of inefficiency against the French navy and the charges that the French coast defenses we inadequate, has ob tained a great deal of evidence sustain ing the charges which were in effect that the war vessels of France were practi cally useless as engines of war, and the coast defences so weak as to leave the country bordering on the sea at the mercy of any first class naval power. !

They Claim That the' Bill Was Or dered to Its Third Reading Before" They Were Aware of It Resignation of Senator Wbfte Florida's Sena tors Disagree on a Local Matter. SENATE. Washington, March 8. The Vice president laid before the Senate a letter from Senator White, of Louisiana, stat ing that he had sent to the Governor of Louisiana his resignation as Senator, to take effect on Monday, March 12 th. 11 1 3 . i . auo ua,ieuuar was men lauen up m regular order for bills until objected to, The first bill on the calendar was the one referring the McOarrahan claim to the court of private land claims. Objection was made by Senator Morrill, and the bill retains its place at the head of the calendar. r A Senate bill to open certain parts of the Fort Jupiter military "reservation in Florida, to entry under the Homestead law, developed a conflict of opinion be tween the two Senators from that State, Senator Pasco advocating the bill and Senator Call oppsing it, unless certain amendments, which he suggested and which his colleague resisted, were adopted. The opposition of Senator Call was severely criticised by Senator Dolph, Republican, of Oregon, who retorted by charging that Senator Dolph was repre senting and defending syndicates of speculators, as he always did. Finally, on objection, the bill went over without action. The Vice-President laid before the Senate the unfinished business, being the Bland Seigniorage act, the pending ques tion being on Senator Allision's question to reconsider the vote of yesterday order ing the engrossment and third reading of the bill. Senator Sherman expressed the hope that the Senate would make no real ob jection to the Allison motion, so as to leave the bill open to amendment. He proposed to show the importance of hav ing the bill amended. He declared that there was no disposition on his side of the chamber to prevent action on the bill. There was therefore no objection on the part of the majority to avail its self of the accidental position of the - bill in its having passed beyond the amend ment stage. He suggested that Senators on both sides should proceed in the mat ter without taking advantage of a rapid declaration on the part of the presiding officer that the bill had been read a third time. Senator Harris declared that the bill had reached its present stage through the regular methods of procedure in the Senate and he knew of no reason why the bill should not be disposed of in thirty minutes. Certainly he would not consent to any re-consideration unless a majority of the Senate orderedit on a yea and nav vote. Senator Sherman appealed to Senator Harris, as a kind hearted man, and ; a man observant of the courtesies of the Senate, whether it was wka to insist upon the result of a vote taken without the knowledge of several Senators. He then w nt on to argue against the bill. In his opinion it was a violation of the public faith, as declared in the act of 1890, which pledged to the redemption of the silver certificates the entire silver bullion purchased by them. He be lieved, also that it was the beginning of an unlimited issue of paper money to meet the current expenditures. Senator Manderson called the atten tion of Senator Sherman and of the Sen ate to the fact that under the language of the Seignioi age bill, not only might 55,0UU,0U0 ot silver dollars be coined, but an additional $55,000,000 of treasury notes might be issued. Senator Aldrich inquired, sarcastically, whether that was not the intention of the framers of the bill. Arguments against the bill were also made by Senators Lodge and Iliggins, the latter Senator characterizing it as a most obnoxfoos and unfortunate meas ure. The question being on Senator Alli son s motion to reconsider . the vote ordering the engrossment and third reading of the bill, a motion to lay that motion on the table was made by Sena tor Faulkner, Democrat, of West Vir ginia, but, as that motion would shut on: debate, and as Senators Allison and Vilas signified their wish to address the Senate, Senator b aulkner withdrew the motion to lay on the table.' Senator Hoar remonstrated against such a violation of the practice of the Senate in rushing the bill yesterday to its third reading; and Senator Aldrich also criticised the "celerity" of yester day's proceedings, which, he said, he had never seen equaled in the disposi tion of an important measure. Senator i aulkner, who had occupied the chair when those proceedings took place, insisted that they had been, on his part, characterized by extreme cau-tion-j-so extreme that, having ascer tained that the bill had never been read to the Senate in full, he had ordered that to be done. He was not responsible, he said, for the 4 "negligence" of Sena tors. Senator Harris expressed his deter mination to resist any reconsideration and any amendment of the bill, on the ground that if the bill had to be sent back to the House, te chances against action on it there would be 9 to 1. Finally it was arranged that Senator Allison would have the floor to-morrow to speak in favor of his motion, and then at 4:50 o'clock the Senate, after a short executive session, adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Savers presented the conference report on the Urgent Deficiency bill and it was agreed to. Mr. Richardson, called up the bill re ported by the Dockery commission, abol ishing the oflic-s of commissioner and deputy commissioners of customs, and asked its consideration as a privuegea matter. Mr. Reed asked how its privileged character had been retained after being reported. An examination of the record showed that the Speaker had stated when the bill was introduced this would be done. Mr. Reed Could that be done, except by unanimous consent? The Speaker does not seem to have asked the House for it. Humorously. I withdraw ob jections to present consideration. Exhi bitions of tyranny are not unpleasant to me.Whereat the Speaker could not re strain a smile. A letter from Secretary Carlisle recom mending the passage of the bill, as tend ing to a better and more accurate' ac counting in the department, and the report of the .commission explaining uie uesiraouuy ana scope of the opera tions ot the bill were read. The report claimed that $30,430 would be annuallv saved in expenses by the passage of the bill and a more epeeay ana accurate ac rnnntiner obtained. The bill was passed after brief discus sion. The Elouse then went into Committee r th Whole on the District of Columbia Appropriation bill. As reported, the bill carried a total appropriation of $5,157,- 573, and provides salaries for 2,054 per sons, including teachers of the public schools,' as against $5,418,224 and 2,001 salaries in the bill for the current year, and estimates of , $6,966,163 and 2,198 salaries. After a brief debate the committee rose, and Chairman McRae called Mr. Blanchard to the chair in the absence of SpeakerCrisp. Mr. Blanchard's appear ance was the signal for a general hand clapping on the floor. . At 4:50 o'clock: the House adjourned until 12 o'clock to-morrow. COMMERCIAL-NEWS. Stocks and Borrds In ,New xork The Grain and Provision Markets of Chicago. New York, March 8. Washington news controlled the stock market again to-day. Sugar was heavy from the start to finish, and nearly 170,000 shares were traded in. The total transactions in this stock for this week foot up 556,200 shares. The capital of the company, re duced to shares, is 750,000. Right at the opening a flood of selling orders made cneir appearance on tne noor of the el change and the price broke 4J per cent, to 89. After tho break a rally to 91 fol lowed and the remainder of the list ad vanced sharply on the denials that $3,000,000 of gold or anything like that amount would be shipped to Europe on oaturaay. lhe (Grangers were then taken m hand and General Electric was also more prominent in the dealings. A rise of i to If per cent, was tnen recorded. General Electric jumped to 451, the highest figure for some time. - A good Dusiness was transacted in the Grangers at tihis time, and St. Paul moved up to 62 II Rock Island to 70, Baltimore and Quiftcy to 81 and Northwestern to 105J. When the report of the Senate Finance committee was given out showing ma terial concessions to sugar, lead, coal, iron and distilling interests, the feeling was more bullish than at any other time of the day and prices were at their high est. This does not apply to Sugar. The committee's action was a disappoint ment to the majority of the speculative holders, who began to sell when they had mastered the amended schedule., The result was a break in the stock to 87i, a loss of 6f per cent. Distillers on the other hand rose tD within a f rac tion of 28. About 2 o'clock, the bears resumed active operations and it did not take them long to bring about a general decline of to 1 per cent., Western. Union being especially weak. t this time the reports of large gold experts were again revived, but bankers, as a rule, do not credit these reports. At the close the market was weak. The net changes show a loss of i to 1 per cent., except for Sugar, which is 6i per cent, lower. Whiskey gained . The Anthra cite coalers were in demand and rose to 1 per cent. Reading, however, closed unchanged. The St. Paul directors de clared the usual dividends to-day but it had no effect on the market. Total sales were 380,000 shares.of which 191,000 were listed and 189,000 unlisted. Railway and miscellaneous bonds were strong. Chicago, March 3. The Government crop report, which will be issued on Sat urday, and which will treat ot farmers reserves in wheat and corn, is at present the unknown quantity in the markets for those commodities. Outside trade is keeping very quiet and leaving the oper ations in the hands of professionals. To-day's market opened with every ap pearance of steadiness, but soon flat tered out. The ra ie wo not wide, May selling between 601c and 59c and closing i to f c under yesterday, at 60Jc. Corn wa3 inclined to follow wheat, particularly in any downward tendency of that market. There was an evident desire of yesterdav's buyers to sell out even if they were obliged to do so at a loss. Any strength that wasshown was, therefore, met with free offerings. May ranged between 38ic and 37i to 37$c, closing at 37f c, a net loss of ic for the day. The cash demand was good at un changed prices. in oats there was less trade than on yesterday but there was an undertone of firmness apparent. Changes were inde pendent of wheat and corn. A good business was transacted and the close was but c under yesterday. Provisions were very quiet. But few changes in values were made and they were due more to the speculative feeling in grain than to any legitimate influ ences. At the close May pork and ribs were each 2jc lower than yesterday's final figures, and May lard was 2Jc higher. The Sun's Cotton Review. New York, March 8. The Sun's cot ton review says: Cotton advanced 6 to 8 points on most months, while the dis tant months advanced 3 points. Later on, tne general list lost most or an or tne improvement and August and late months declined l to 2 'points, lhe close was at a net advance for the day of 2 points on this crop, while the next crop was 1 to 2 points lower than yester day. Liverpool advanced 1 point and closed steady. Spot sales were 12,000, at firm and unchanged prices. In Man chester yarns had a hardening tendency and cloths were steady. The Bombay receipts for the week were 70,000 bales, against 40,000 for the same week last year; thus far this year, 507,000 bales, against 414,000 the same time last year; afloat 10,000 against 37,000 a year ago. Bombay shipments for the week to Great Britain were 8,000 bales, against none for the same time last year, and 21,000 to the Continent, against 9,000 for the same week last year; total since Jan uary 1st, 21,000 bales to Great Britain, against 4,000 for the same time last year; 161,000 to the Continent, against 158,000 for a like period last year.

The officials of the different South Carolina railroads and the Seaboard Air Line had a confer ence here to-day and effected an ar rangement between these lines and the Old Dominion Steamship company, which places them in a position to offer the growers of produce in and around Charleston the best facilities in market ing their produce at cheaper rates and best time to New York, Philadelphia, Boston and other Northern and Eastern points. The Old Dominion line has agreed to handle all business offered by this route during the entire season, at rates lower than any competing line can offer. ' WILL VETO THE BILL.

Washington, March 8. The state ment is made, by-one of the most promi nent men in public . life that President Cleveland will veto the Bland Seignior- Hge bill if it passes the Senate. This gen- .an taisea with the President vester- day regarding the matter, and the reason given is that the bill would be destructive to the reposeswhich now surrounds the financial condition of the country, and, further, that it would tend to weaken our credit abroad. Secretary Carlisle is -known to be unf avorabL . ia unaerssooa to nave represented to the President that the money that would i - . . .

An annoying error has been discovered in the distribution of the tariff speeches of ex-Speaker Reed and Chairman Wil son, of the Ways and Means committee.

An investiga tion is in progress. ; Relative to the Pittsburg report,1 charging collusion of naval inspectors in the matter of the Carnegie armor plat, Representative Cummings, chair man of the Committee on Naval Affairs, to-day said: "The reports from Pitts burg about the collusion of Government o&cers in the manufacture of armor are incorrect. The investigation developed nothing of tho kind. There were ''cer tain irregularties that were seen by workmen in two departments at Home stead. These workmen informed -the Secretary of the Navy of the fact, and an investigation proved that irregulari ties hadexisted. The Carnegie com pany denied all knowledge of them, but were afterwards convinced that such as the case. They were fined about f 14o,000. Twenty-five per cent, of this went to the workmen who gave the in formation and the remainder was with held in payments due the Carnegie com pany for armor under the contract. The investigation reflects the greatest credit on the Navy Department. The Wilson Tariff bill, which passed the House of Rep-esentatives February 1st, was laid before the full memhprshir. of the Senate Committee. on Finance this morning at 11 o'clock in the amended form upon which the Democratic major ity of the committee had agreed after one wlftue mot? h's consideration and numerous changes of front upon all the more important objects of taxation.

Some time .ago a barge loaded with pro visions was stolen by the insurgents, un der cover of darkness, from the side of the British ship Gerba, and on another occasion sixty bales of cotton were stolen from a lighter attached by a hawser to a British ship. In both eases appeal was made to the British authorities, but they not only refused to interfere but cursed the captain of the ship for being such a d d fool as to keep a barge alongside of his yessel over night. Yesterday, as the tug Isabel, flying the British flag was steaming in the outer harbor, she was fired upon by the in surgents steamer Victoria, the shot pass ing through the Isabel's flag.

About 6 o'clock c veiling cue terrimc explosion or a bomb occurred in front of the Chamber of Deputies. Two persons were danger ously and several less seriously injured. The bomb must have been charged with material of a very high explosive force,' as every window for some distance around was shattered, railings' were twisted, heavy stones moved from their places, and many evidences ot the tre mendous power of its contents were apparent. Many of those injured were cut by fragments of broken glass, but others were hurt, some of them badly, by being thrown violently to the ground or against build ingSj stone work etc. The excitement is U . 1 a , . very great, The police are on the alert to catch the miscreant who threw the bomb and his accomplices, if he had any, while the populace are fearful that other explosions will occur before the bomb throwers are caught;. The Chamber of Deputies had ad journed an hour before the explosion took place, otherwise it is likely that several persons would have been killed, as the number in the vicinity of the Chamber was at least four times greater an hour earlier than it was at the time the bomb exploded.

I had no appetite and could not sleep. I would be compelled to sit up In bed ana belch gas from my stom ach until I thought every minute would be my lasts There was a feeling of oppression about my heart, and I was afraid to draw a full breatli. I couldn't sweep a room with out sitting down and resting; but, thank God, by the help of New Heart Cure all that is past and 1 feel like another woman. Be fore using the New Heart Cure I had taken diiferent so-called remedies and been treated by doctors without any benefit until I was both discouraged and disgusted. My husband bought me a bottle of Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure, and am happy to say I never regretted it, as 1 now have a splendid appetite and sleep well. I weighed 123 pounds when I be- fan ta king the remedy, and now I weigh 130'4. ts eifect in my case haa been truly marvel ous. It far surpasses any other medicine I have ever taken or any benefit I ever re reived from physicians." Mrs. Harry Starr, Pottsville, Pa., October 12, 1892.
