TO INVESTIGATE JENKINS.
Resolution Adopted Jn t ho Hons Provid
ing For an Inquiry of Ills Famous
Strike Order President Cleveland
Returns From His Outing Trip.
WASHINGTON, March 0. There was
evidence during the progress of routine
business in the senate this morning of a
purpose on the Republican side of the
chamber to displace the tariff question
witha silver discussion over the Bland
bill. (rTliere. were but few Democratic
sensixMs. Jntha,chamber when-the vic
president's gavel fell. Sir. Hill awak
ened interest. by offering the following
resolution - and asking its reference to
the committee on finance.
Whereas, The secretary of the treasury
has announced a deficit of $78,000,000 foi
the current year,
Whereas, House bill No. 4,804, known
as the Wilson bill, proposes to discard
$70,000,000 revenue from present tariff tax
ation and to meet the double deficiency
by new internal direct taxation, therefore,
be I ifc
Resolved, That the senate finance com
mittee frame amendments to the senate
bill amending the said bill, omitting the
said internal and direct taxes newly pro
posed and instead thereof, make provision
for sufficient revenue by tariff on foreign
imports and otherwisa revising the tariff
without creating a de ficiency.
The silver stormcloud, which had been
lowering all the morning, broke over the
senate when Mr. Harris (Tenn.) moved
the second reading of the Bland bill.
In doing so, he stated to the senate and
especially to the senator from Nevada
(Mr. Stewart) that the latter was not a
more earnest advocate of silver coinage
than he. Bat he (Harris) believed that
there was one question which should take
precedence over this and, without any
breach of confidence, he could state that
the finance committee was on the verge
of reporting the tariff bill to the senate.
He, therefore, objected to further pro
ceedings on the seigniorage bill, and un
der that objection it would have to go to
the calendar.

SOMK POSTAL SERVICE FIGURES,
Representative Henderson's Report on the
Appropriation Rill.
Washington, March 6. Interesting
facts concerning the postal service are
embodied in the unusually complete re
port on the appropriation bill, compiled
by Representative Henderson, chairman
of the committee on postoffices. The
estimates of the department on which the
bilLis'based amounts to, $90,399,485, ex
clusive of special facilities on trunk
lines, an item amounting to $19S,G14.
The bill recommends an appropriation of
$87,470,590, which is in round numbers
$3,000,000 less than the estimates and
about the same sum in advance
of the appropriations for the
current year. The estimated postal
revenue for the fiscal year 1893 is $81,-
427,748, so that the postal service is
nearly self supporting. A mate rial re
duction from the estimates is made in
the compensation of postmasters. The
amount asked was $17,250,000 and that
recommended is 16,000,000. For free

CS5 is recommended, an increase of $1,-

mittee, and the commercial representa
tives. Mr. Hatch characterized
the written statement of Presi
dent BJoss of the New York
Cotton exchange as an "arraign
ment of the committee." He said that
an objection to it would cause its exclu
sion, but he would raise no objection.
Mr. Bloss' statement was very plain and
urged that the Hatch bill was pernicious
and an unwarranted meddling with the
individual liberty of citizens.

right and left at his colleagues, cut a
prominent figure in Tuesday's proceed
ings. Mr. Pence's reference to Mr.
Hainer had been incorrectly reported and
rising to a question of privilege ho took
occasion to apologize for the personalities
he had indulged in, but Mr. Cooper (Ind.)
was not satisfied and gave him a severe
scoring. Again Mr. Bland was unable
to muster a quorum on his motion to
close debate on the seigniorage bill, so he
allowed the debate to run on without
limit.
Washington, Feb. 27. The senate
' held another brief session Tuesday, in
which nothing of importance was ac
complished and adjourned after an exec
utive session of half an hour in order
that the Democratic caucus might be
j continued.
Washington, Feb. 28. The deadlock
in the house was broken Wednesday
after l.vo weeks of continuous filibuster
ing against the Bland seigniorage bill,

cured than the house managers brought

ing and bring the .bill to a direct vote
after two hours of additional debate.
Although Mr. Bland secured 184 votes,
when the deadlock was broken several
eastern Democrats, including Messrs.
Cummings. Clancy and Wagner of New
York and Dunn of New Jersey refused
to act longer with filibusters, Messrs.
Doolittle, Aitken, Ellis of Oregon and
Lacey stopped voting on the next vote
and the previous question on the adop
tion of the order was only sustained by
one more than a quorum.
When it came to adopting the special
order, Messrs. Bowers, Lucas, Pickler
(Rep.), and Dunn (Dem.) again joining
the silent host and the quorum was lost,
only 176 members responding to their
names.
Washington, Feb. 28. The senate
held a two-hours session Wednesday, the
whole of which was given to a speech by
Senator Frye in opposition to President
Cleveland's Hawaiian policy.
Washington, Marm 1. The long
Btruggle in the house over the Bland bill
for the coinage of the silver seigniorage
and the silver bullion in the treasury was
ended Thursday by passing the bill by a
vote of 167 to 1'dU, a majority in favor of
the bill of 37. The special order to bring
the bill to a vote was adopted by a bare
quorum immediately after the house con
vened. This broke the opposition of the
filibusterers and they were unable to do
anything further to place an obstacle in
the way of the bill. All the amendments
offered to the measure by its enemies
were defeated. The bill as passed was
in the nature of a substitute for the orig
inal text of the measure. The changes
do not affect the material features of the
bill.
The changes in the substitute simply
make specific the fact the seigniorage is
to be coined and that this bill shall not
effect the redemption of the treasury
notes under the existing law.
An analysis of the vote by which the
bill passed shows that 141 Democrats.
19 Republicans and 8 Populists, (total
168) voted for it and 79 Republicans and
50 Democrats (total 129) voted against it.
The bill for the rescue of the armament
of the wrecked Kearsargo passed just
before adjournment. The Joy-O'Neil
contested election case will be taken up
next.
Washington, March l. A contro
versy which seemed imminent in the
senate Thursday owing to Mr. Voorhees
resolution proposing that Mr. Mills of
Texas be temporarily assigned to the
committee of finance in the absence of
Senator Vance was disputed by the
withdrawal of the resolution at the re
quest of the Senator from Texas.
Washington. March 2. The house-
Friday entered upon the consideration of
appropriation bills. The fortification
bill footing up something over $2,000,000
passed and then the pension appropriat
ions came up. This bill usually leads to
considerable display of political feeling
and Friday was no exception. Meredith
and Funk almost came to blows but
were parted by friends.
Washington, March . In the house
today two private bills were passed
by unanimous consent, one on motion
of Mr. Richardson (Tenn.j to pen
sion Fanny Norman and the other
on motion of Mr. Curtis (Kan.) to pension
Andrew Franklin, a captain in Captain
Armstrong s company in the war of 1812.
Washington, March 5. The debate
on the pension appropriation bills con
tinued all day in the house Monday and
at times considerable spirit was mani
fested. The principal speakers were
Messrs. Dolliver, Hepburn, Enloe and
Cannon. Hepburn (la.) declared the late
Confederate states contributed not even
$1 to the payment of pensions. Of the
$150,000,000 internal revenue tax, the
south paid less than $9,000,000; of the
$177,000,000 custom receipts, the south
paid but $4,000,000: of the miscellaneous
receipts, less than $2,000,000. "So that,"
said he, addressing tho southern mem
bers, "you contribute less than $15,000,
000 to the revenues of the government.
How do you get that back, $9,000,000 re
turns as sugar bounty; $5,000,000 in pen
sions, and $5,000,000 as a deficit in pos
tal receipts. You, therefore, receive
back $3,000,000 more than you contrib
ute. You contribute not a cent to north
ern pensions. What difference does it
make to you what we do with our
money'' Republican applause.
Washington, March 5. The senate
held a short session Monday and but
ittle business of importance was trans
acted. A brief fight was precipitated by
the intention expressed by the vice presi
dent to refer the Bland seigniorage bill
to the finance committee. Stewart (Nev.;
opposed this disposition of the bill and
asked that it be allowed to lie on the
table subject to being called at any time.
This was finally ordered. Mr. Stewart
at the same time offered a free silver
amendment to the bill. The only other
event of interest was the offering by
Morgan (Ala.) of a resolution looking to
the appointment of a tariff commission,
