When for argument’s tat;-' admit the statement to be ue’ioae was unfavorable, i Cleveland is criticised for the niment. Judge Gresham’s mo tor accepting the place'and his :v and high character are not toned to any extent. Mr. Cleve t is said by some close friends, oi expect to make an appoint oi this kind without stirring up tn in the democratic party. He i. however, that in time the party ho general public Will endorse anointment as eminently fit and :r. Some of the irreconcilables uoicu as saying they fear Mr. land's self-will will be a bad ior the democratic party, he appointment, it is believed in quarters, will result in assist ocing given to Hill and Murphy, U mesa two determine to make on the administration, enator Palmer is thought to bo unpleasant frame of mind. Mr. Ison cannot believe the report is Mr. Isaac F. Gray, it is pre d. will be given a bureau ap. ment or mission abroad, lenator Palmer said that he knew e Gresham and admired him. ‘I t a good democrat might have found somewhere, if not in Illl for this, the most important cab piace. I know it is claimed that :e Gresham is now a democrat I believe he confesses himself a jerat only to the extent of having d for Cleveland at the last elec 1 am not disposed to criticise Cleveland for his appointment ! must say I believe many good Dcrats will be disappointed. They have no right to feel aggrieved, me reason that a president is ex ed to exercise his own judgment personal preference in the seiec of secretary of state, hilt still they ikeiy to So so.’ I no senator does not think the Illi democrats will bolt. He evi ■y thinas they will get over their npoimment. " hen asked his opinion as to the t;oal wisdom of the appointment in neral way, Senator Palmer replied he felt a delicacy in expressing seif on this point, because he had oeen consulted, and it was proba none of his business. He ventured ay, however, that Mr. Cleveland certainly departed from the ordi y lines of political precedence.” oeaily the newspapers say: “The t.cians were treated to a genuine >r!se yesterday in the announce " lhat Walter Q.

WASHnf&xoN, Feb. 11_Senator Pettigrew was before the senate com* mittee on appropriations looking after items in the bill which particularly pertain to South Dakota and the west. He secured the* promise that his sev eral requests will be granted. The most important was in striking out a provision which practically repealed the land law of 1891, by which so many land titles were settled. ' The provision was put in at the request of one Buttes, formerly of North Caro lina, now of North Dakota, and the express intention was to upset the title of the site of Great Falls, Wherein Buttes was an attorney. He has been trying to smirch everybody who assisted in passing the law of 1791, saying it was put through at the request of Pres ident Hill of the Great Northern road for the express purposeof getting possession of the Great Falls town site. The provision in the bill has been stricken out. Mr. Pettigrew was also promised an increase for surveys and an appropriation for the Sioux Falls building, with a provision that it should be made fireproof, that the number of land offices should not be diminished and the adoption of the Fort Randall military bill as a part of the appropriation bill. Senator Petti grew today introduced a bill to ratify the agreement between the Rosebud and Lower Brule Indians in South Da kota, which, if passed, will have the effect of making the Brules a part of the Rosebud agency. ., JACK CLIFFORD NOT QLjlLTY.

The junior senator from New York. Mr. Hill made the motion, of which he had given notice last Friday, to proceed to the consideration to repeal the Sher* man silver purchase act and in sup port of the motion delivered a care fully prepared speech in which he declared himself unconditionally a friend of free bitnetalic coinage. The motion was defeated ’ by nearly a two thirds majority, the vote being, yeas, '.'a; nays, 42. Afterward the quaran tine bill* was taken up and passed with out a division; also a bill tor payment out of the treasury of local taxes on lands held by Indians in severalty. Senate bill for the payment by the government of local taxes on lands held by Indians in severalty was passed. The house bill granting ad ditional quarantine powers and im posing additional duties upon the marine hospital service, was taken up. The question being on the substitute reported from the senate committee on epidemic diseases. The bill was passed, the substitute being agreed to. In the bouse it was suspension day and Mr. Kilgore of Texas early began filibus tering motions, his superficial object being to prevent the consideration of the anti-option bill, but deeper than this was his antagonism to the bank ruptcy bill, which public rumor had put down on the slate for today. It was after 1 o’clock when the various filibustering motions of Mr. Kilgore were disposed of and the journal ap proved. Then Mr. Bunn moved to suspend the rules and pass a bill ap propriating |32,000 for the relief of the heirs of Adalicia Chouteau. Mr. Burrows demanded a second, and, as no quorum voted, on motion of Mr. Kilgore a call of the house was or dered. The call showed the presence of a quorum and tellers were again ordered, and again no quorum voted, and again a call ol the house was or dered. After some other roll calls the house adjourned, without having reached the anti-option or the bank ruptcy bills. In the senate on the 7th considera tion was had of the substitute reported from the committee on interstate com merce to promote the safety of em ployes and travelers on railroads by compelling common carriers engaged in interstate commerce to equip their cars with automatic couplers and con tinuous brakes and their locomotives with driving wheel brakes. The mo tion went over without definite action. Mr. Turpie, democrat, from Indiana, offered the following, which was laid on the table and printed: Believing that the doctrine of asylum, as prac ticed and approved by a very large majority of the members of the family ' of nations, is higly expedient and the jurisdiction in what are known as po litical offenses, ought not to be exfra. ditable, it is concluded as the sense of the senate that no treaty should be approved which proposes to oust the courts or magistrates of the United Stales of the right to determine, in each case, under the allegations and proof therein, whether the offense charged be political or non-po litical under the law of nations. In the house the legislative appropriation bill was considered. Mr. Dingley said that the appropria tions made by this congress would reach $1,038,000,000. against $980, - 000,000 made by the Fifty-first con gress, an increase of $.00,000,000. If there should be no tariff legislation to disturb importations the revenues for the fiscal year 1894 would undoubtedly reach $405.000,000. and the expense should not exceed $390.000.000, and would not, if the river and harbor bills should not exceed $15,000,000. which was $2,000,000 more than was ever expended. If they should go up to $33,000,000, as contemplated by the action of the house, then there would inhvitably be a deficienby next year. The tariff legislation foreshadowed would undoubtedly reduce the revenue unless the duties should be made low enough to enormously swell importa tions. In the senate on the 8th the follow ins' bills were passed: House bill for the relief of certain settlers on publio lands in the Tucson land district, Ari zona; house bill to amend the act of March 3. 1839. and establish a court of private land claims; senate bill to except the veterans from competitive examination in the classified service of the United States. Senate bill to amend the act of May 5. 1892. prohib iting the immigration of Chinese, hav ing been reached. Mr. Hoar gave no tice of a substitute for the bill—the substitute being that the act • -is here by repealed. ” The senate then pro ceeded to the house to count the elec toral vote. On returning the vice president made a statement of the vote for president and vice president of the United S la tea and said that the announcement of the vote by the president of the senate was by law, a sufficient declaration that Grover Cleveland of the state of New York was elected president of the United Statea and that Adlai E. Ste venson of the state of Illinois was elected vine president of the United Statea each of the terms beginning ' & ’ Xi ' * i.v' •via- 'm March i 1893, and the fact would bo •at*rad. together with a Hat of tha ▼otaa, on tha journal of tha senate. In the house, a faw momenta before 1 o’olook, Doorkeeper Turnerannounced the presence of the vice preaident and the aenate of tha United States, qpd tha east assemblage rose with one ao oord to do them honor. The vice pres ident took the chair assigned to him, to tha right of tha speaker, ’and the senators occupied the first four rows of seats to the right of the presiding officer. The oounting of the electoral votes waa then proceeded with, and at its completipn the senate returned to its own hall. When the senate retired the house resumed, In committee the oonalderation of the legislative appro priation bill. *« lauara UU tua VbU kUO WUUiO of the 'day’s session was .devoted to a dltcutsloh of the railroad .au^omptio car coupler bill. The subject reported by the committee on inter-state com merce was amended by making the first section, requiring the use of pow er driving wheel brakes to take effeot July 1, 1898, instead of 1895, and the fourth seotion, requiring the use of grab irons or hand holds in the ends and sides of the cars, to go into force on the 1st of July, 1896, Instead of 1893. It was also amended by strik ing from the second seotion all but the first sentence. In the houBe Mr. Catoh ings called up the resolution from the committee on rules, setting apart this legislative day for the consideration of the bill repealing the Sherman act. Mr. Bacon, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, said the main purpose of the bill was that the purchase of silver bullion and the stor age of it in the vaults of the treasury as a commodity in metaiio form, and without coinage, should stop. Mr. Bland, the general of the silver foroes, said that it would be a curious thing for the country to observe the vote upon the cloture resolution in brderto ascertain how many men on the dem ocratic side of the house who, when the free coinage bill was up, planted themselves on the high horpe of dem •ocratio principles and announced that the proposition was undemocratic, would then come down from their horses and would vote in the interest of Wall street to demonetise silver. The discussion was continued by Messrs. Bartini Watson, Bryan, Cox, Walker, Springer and Reed. Mr. Gatchings dosed the debate with a statement that the committee on rules would not be affected by any action which the house might take on its re port. The roll call was taken on or dering the previous question. At its conclusion the speaker announced that the previous question bad been ordered by a vote of yeas 162, nays 143. In the senate on the 10th discussion continued on the automatic car coupler bill. A vote was about to be taken on the passage of the bill, when Mr. Harria democrat, from Tennessee, proposed that the vote should be post poned until a new print of the bill, as amended, could be had. That was agreed to. The vote upon the bill to provide for sundry light bouses and other aids to navigation, which was passed some days ago, was, on motion of Mr. Dolph, reconsidered; all the amendments adopted by the senate to it were rejected, and the bill was passed without amendment, just as it came from the house. The calendar was taken up and these bills were passed: Senate bill appropriating $50,000 for a public building in Lara mie, Wyo.; two senate bills to author ize the construction of dams across the Kansas river; senate bill to' amend section 4347 of Revised Statutes in re lation to the transportation of mer chandise. It prohibits the transporta tion of merchandise from one Ameri can port to another American port through a foreign port. In the house After the routine business had been disposed of the house considera tion was had of the invalid pension appropriation bill. Mr. Mutchler, in charge of the bill, stated that the ap propriation recommended was $166, 400,000. It was proposed to amend the measure so that that amount would be reduced to $166,090,000. The bill carried about $4,000,000 in excess of the amount that* would be expended during the current year. Mr., Grout admitted that the amount of money required for the payment of pensions was a large one. But it must be re membered that the bulk of it was for invalid veterans, or for widows of men who had laid down their lives for their country. He was opposed to the transfer of the pension bureau as pro posed by the biil. He did not think that such a transfer would take the bureau out of the domain of politics. But he did believe that an appropriate amendment could be frameid in that line, which would be beneficial to the pensioner. The debate was not con* eluded when the house adjourned.
