other increases of the bill.
Mr. I terry of Arkausns olijee.ted.
It was agreed to adjourn overfill
1'ridi.y.
Mr. Morrill of Vermont explained
that the tinaiiei; miumktce desired to
eons tier the boint and tanlV bills on
'I'liur.iday.
Mr. (handler's resolution, offered
yesterday, ashing the committed on
navul uH'air lo investigate tins prices
paid by tlie government for armour
plute and as to whether any oflicia! of
the government, was interested in
patent processes, was called up. At
the .suggestion of Mr. (lormaii the
words directing an inquiry into the
facts s.s to w tiether tlie prices paid by
the I'nited States were "as low a.i
paid by the foreign governments"
were stricken oat.
The resola'iou was adopted.
Mr. Suerman then introduced his
resolut ion, w hich was listened to with
keen interest, in view of the Senator's
utterances again.it the retirement of
Kreeiiiiack. lie gave notice that on
Friday lie would su limit some remarks
upon it.
Mr. Mitcbel of Oregon then too!; the
floor and spoke in favor of his resolu
tion instructing the (inane;! committee,
to restore the McKiiiley duties on
wool in any revenue bill reported to
the Senate,
Senator Mitchell declared thut no
industry had received such a slugger
ing and deadly legislative blow as that
indicted upon tho wool industry by
the Wilson larilf act. It had drained
from tho Fiutil States within t he last
year gTi.OUll.uoo 'u gold to pay for for
eiirn wool, and had occasioned a loss
to the wool ; rowers of this country of
more than Sl.ouo.iido. Inlcss this leg
islation wa-- changed the sheeii iudu--
trv of the l'ac'di i cons
woc.ld be mi-
llihilated.
Mr. Mitchell said the tariff bill
passed by the House would probably
iiitn use 'the revenue i!'1 oniMmo a yi-ar
Anictidcd, as it should be, by tilford
iug wool, lumber, barley, hops, and
other agricultural products adequate
protection it will give an add.t:oiial
revenue of Jr 'lO.dOl t, () K), mid place a
pin) lock upon the so-called 'endless
chain"' by which gold is drawn lrom
the treasury, will stop all neccs'iiy
for further issue of bonds and rescue
from unpenning ruin the wool and
other agricultural interests of this
country.
While Mr. Mitchell was contending
that the Secretary of the Treasury
could have stopped the gold drains by"
using his discretion to redeem rices in
coin, Mr. Hill of New York asked him
if it was not true that greenbacks had
been redeemed in gold by every secre
tary since Is?!'.
Mr. Mitchell replied that, it might
be true, but in his opinion il was very
nour policy.
I "Treasury notes have only been re-
deemed in gold since I Si) I," interrupt
to virtue, Cll m,.. rock re 11 of Missouri.
Is that a fai t'.'" asked Mr. Mitchell.
"It is," replied Mr. lockrell, em
phatically. "In l-.'it in response to a
telegram sent by mo to Secretary Cos
ter he replied that the lir-t treasury
note had been redeemed by him in
gold in I-'.il."
I am talking
about greenbacks,
ha id Mr. Hill.
"Have not all the "Secretaries of tlie
Treasury redeemed these notes in gold I
ince IsT'.i'.'"'
"Crecnbacks were never pre-enled,"'
baid Mr. l ockrell,
"There was no demand for gold and
that can be show n on the record. The
Senator from I 'bio (Mr. Sherman! since
that time propoM'd to redeem and re
tire every one of thoie grernbueks
with silver dollars uiul his amendment
to that elfcet is here on record, in
which, he propose to substitute for

THE HORSELESS VEHICLE.

Army l.'iti! Woulfl l;e a Jrcnt Kiivlii;;.
W a sin no ro, Jan. L (ion. Miles is
now making a study of the horseless
vehicle, with a view to determining' its
utility in army use. The idea is to
use it, for the army trains. At. each
of its forty-one military pts our
army employs two or more wag
ons, prescribed by tin; CnurU-ruiaster
(leneral. "Tie luner, the six-mule
wag-in, is for transporting army sup
plies to and from i.i.lrcad stations on
the frontier posts. The other, known
as the escort wagon. i- pulled by two
or four mules. It is used in tin: imire
uucmv seuien regions, lor the tsme
purpose, as well as for nflicial err;
rnilds.
-. lJ: In
TIiom wagons have been usi

over them. I!e-.ides, it would ba
great saving.
Our sma 1 1 army of 'jri.wio ieu em
)!oys !l,."iOt) horses and. mules for uses
of the cavalry an I artillery and for
general oral t mg purposes. 1 lie aver
age cost of the-iC for the
hist tiseal
year, for instance, ranged from $.'.. lo
Jfl'iS each, the cavalry horses costing
I he least, even less than the (iovern
luciit mules, and draft horses t he most.
Thus the army makes a great outlay
each year, not only for purchasing
horses, but for keeping them well fed
and groomed.
