Leading OXLY A rmi AT TAELFF ELTORM Many Needed Laws Were Xot Enacted An, Apology for the 1a rue Ex- pendlta res Bills Killed are Xnmbeless. Washdcgtok, March 5, The silver and tariff question, the anti-option bill, and the reduction of appropriations were the leading topics of consideration by the Fifty -second congress, which expired by constitutional limitation at 12 o'clock noon yesterday. Secondary only in im portance to these matters were measures relating to the world's fair, equipment of railroads with automatic car-couplers, national quarantine and immigration, Bering sea and Hawaii annexation. Nothing of an affirmative nature, except to prevent two items in the McKinley bill taking effect, was actually accom plished, so far as respects silver, the tariff or anti-options, the action taken on each of these questions in one branch of congress being negatived by the action or non-action of the other branch. The , result of the agitation of the necessity for retrenchment in expenditures is not apparent in any considerable change in the aggregate appropriations carried by the national supply bills, for they amount to about as much as in the Fifty-first congress, laws on the statute books preventing some large reductions which otherwise would have been made, while the decreases which it was possi ble to effect were offset by increased ap , propriations for pensions and rivers and harbors. The condition of the public treasury, however, though it did not re sult in the Fifty-second congress getting below the billion-dollar limit, undoubt edly influenced legislation to a consider able extent and prevented the authoriza tion of many proposed new expenditures for improvement of the public service for public buildings, for the payment of claims and for other purposes. A nota ble instance of the operation of these influences is seen in the fact that not a single public building appropriation passed the house, and it was only by putting a number of them in the sundry civil appropriation bill tliat any author izations whatever for public buildings were secured. Much Discussed Silver Question. Tlie'silver question was kept steadily before the attention of congress by the alternate efforts of the advo cates of freecoinage and tlio repeal of the Sherman law. The coinage committee of the house in the first session reported a free silver bill which, after an exciting de bate, was saved from defeat by the cast ing vote of the speaker, but was after wards filibustered to death, the friends of the bill failing io secure the signa tures of a majority of the democrats to a petition asking for a cloture rule in its behalf. The senate then passed a free coinage bill, but when the free silver men renewed their fight in the house, they were outnumbered by fourteen votes, and of course failed. The anti silver men met a similar fate in their efforts to secure a repeal of the present law, the senate refusing by a decisive vote to consider it and the house killing the Andrew-Cale bill by declining to vote so as to give its friends the parlia mentary right to move cloture on it, without which it was conceded they could never force a vote in the closing hours of congress. Political Jabs nt tlio Tariff. On the tariff the dominant party in the house adopted a policy of attacking the McKinley bill in detail, largely for political reasons and partly for the rea son that in view of the political com plexion of the senate it was practically out of the question to pass a general tariff revision bill through the senate, while special measures might stand some show of passage. The result was the enactment into law of two hills con tinuing block tin on the free list and India linen at 35 per cent ad valorem. Under the McKinley bill large duties were to take effect on these items in the near future. Other separate bills were passed through tlio house, only to be pigeon-holed in the senate, as follows: Free wool and reduction of duties on woollen manufactures ; free cotton bagging machinery, free binding twine, free silver lead ores, where the value (not the weight) of the silver exceeds the lead in any proportion ; free tin plate, terne plate and taggers tin and the lim itation to $100 of the amount of personal baggage returning tourists may bring into the United States. How Sir. Hatch Lost the Day. The anti-options bill passed both houses, but was killed by the refusal of the house to suspend the rules and agree by a two-thirds vote to amendments put on the bill by the senate, the opponents of the measure maneuvering so as to prevent Mr. Hatch making effective his majority in favor of the measure and forcing him at the last moment to trv suspension of the rules. The pure food bill, the running mate of the anti-optiens bill, passed the senate, but was never able to get consideration in the house. World's fair legislation comprised the grant of $2,500,000 in souvenir half dol lars in aid of the fair, the closing of its gates on Sunday, the appropriation of various amounts for different fair pur poses and the passage of sundry acts of a special nature ana ot minor import ance. Some Important Now Laws, The automatic car coupler bill, shorn of its drastic features, was enacted into law, as was also a national quarantine bill increasing the powers of tiio marine hospital service to meet the threatened dangers from cholera, and an immigra tion law imposing additional restrictions on immigration, but not suspending it entirelv. Thp senate averted trouble ever the Bering sea fisheries by ratifying a treat; of arbitration. It also ratified extradi l - tion treaihi w5m Kiii4 ni mtut countrit". bu ti!l ha Insert tr w lor th Rimxtutt of Itin ll.iw;iii:in Wan-la.

H 'l its. Approximately 425 house and 235 sen ate bill and, joint resolutions became laws, making 600 acta put on the statute books as the result of the work of con gress. A majority of these measures were of interest only to individuals or localities, being for the relief of citizens, for the bridging of streams, for the Dis trict of Columbia, for rights of ways,eto. An uamual proportion of claim bills w ere for the relief of southern men. Many Senate BUla Laid Out. The house passed in round numbers C25 bills, of which 200 failed of passage in the senate and in the neighborhood of 623 Dills, passed by the senate failed in the house, including a long list of public building bills, many private pension bills and other measures involving increased expenditures. Three bills were vetoed by the president, viz : To refer the McGarrahan claim to the court of claims (a second McGarrahan bill failing of action in the house); to amend the court of appeals act, and in relation to marshals iu tht United States courts in Alabama. This last bill became a law bv passage over the veto. Senator lfoar (rtriiublican) stating that it had been vetoed through a misunderstanding of its provisions. The president subjected three bills to a "pocket" veto, and two other bills failed of engrossment in time for presentation to him. All were of comparatively small importance. The pension and census offices, the whisky trust, Panama canal and Pacific mail companies, the Watson Cobb charges, the Pinkerton system and Homestead troubles, the Maverick and Spring Garden bank failures, and the Ellis island immigration station were in vestigated by congressional committees, but nothing came of the reports submit tal Now on the Statute Hooks. The following are the more important of the bills which have become laws: The car coupler bill ; the Chinese exclu sion bill; the immigration bill; to grant American registry to two Inman line ' steamships ; to pension survivors of the Black Hawk and Seminole Indian wars; to increase the pension of veterans of the Mexican war; the dependant pen sion bill ; the eight-hour bill for the ad justment of accounts of men who have worked overtime ; to enable the presi dent to enforce reciprocal canal ar rangements with Canada; to pension army nurses ;to increase the pay of crews at life saving stations; the omnibus lighthouse and fog signal bill ; to amend the interstate commerce law so as to meet the Gresham-Counselman decisions and correct other defects in it ; to amend the law in reference to bills of lading so as to increase and make more clear the responsibilities of transport ers; appropriating $5, 000 for the prepara tion of a site and erection of a pestal for the Sherman statute ; to establish a mili tary board to review court-martial find ings ; for the examination of officers of the marine corps and to regulate pro motions therein ; for the completion of the allotment of lands to the Cheyenne and Arapahoes ; to make the secretary of agriculture eligible to the presidential " succession ; to authorize the establish ment of a branch national bank on the world's fair grounds; to create the Cali fornia mining debris commissionion; the poor suitor's bill ; to repeal the life saving projectile law so far as it con cerns vessels navigating lakes, bays or sounds exclusively; to enable the centennial board of finance to wind up its affairs ; to increase the pay of privates in the hospital corps ; to permit elisted men to be examined for promotion to second lieutenantcies. Lany Minor Acts. Other bills passed of less general im portance are as follows? To accept the bequest of General Cullom to Wesr Point academy; to give commanding omcers m t.ie army the power to remit or mitigate the findings of summary courts-martial; to extend for two years the time in which applications may be made to remove the technical charges of desertion against Mexican war veterans; terminating reductions in the naval engineer corps ; to establish a court of appeals inthe Distnctlof Columbia : to in corporate the American umversitv at Washington; to establish a niilitarv post near Little Rock. -Ark to provide for the collection and arrang- ment of the military records of the rev olution and the war of I8l2;to authorize the secretary of the treasury to obtain designs for public buildings from local architects, who may also be emulovcd to superintend their construction ; to au thorize the entry of lands chiefly valu able for building stone under the placer mining law; to admit duty free the wreckage of the Trenton and Vandalia presented to the king of Samoa ; for the permanent presavation and custody of the records of the volunteer armies; to authorize the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi near New Orleans; to extend the seal protecting statutes to the north Pacific ocean; directing the secretary of war to investigate raft towing on the great lakes; to amend the general land grant forfeiture act of the iast congress so that persons entitled to purchase forfeited lands under that act may have four years from the date of its passage ; to provide for the punish ment of offenses bn the high seas, mak ing important amendments in the pres ent laws; permitting suits to bo brought in the district courts and court of claims against the United States; for land patents within six years from the date of which right of action accrued ; tor the trial in the court of claims of charges of fraud alleged against tho Weil and La Abra Mexican awards; establishing a standard guage for sheet and plate iron and steel. With Appropriating Clauses. There was some legislation effected on appropriation bills that was most impor tant, being as follows: The closing of the world's fair on Sunday and granting the fair $2,500,000 in souvenir half dol lars: authorizing the construction of one new cruiser, one line battleship and three gunboats; appropriating $:JOO,000 for the expenses of the international naval review; prohibiting payments by government officers for transportation over non-bonded branch lines owned by the Pacific railroads, lines leased and operated by the Union and Central Pa cific railroads not being inoluded, how ever; abolition of army contract sur geons; making the action of the second auditor final on all back pay and bounty claims, except on appeal within six months to the coruDtroller: for the col- if tion of railway fxi-.rt ulitir; fof Wmi r-1 !.'!. Tit of civilian liidum agcnti ly arlil" olllrl.iia; rih'filt of l',u eofl f r& t m M-m to a nuinU r of important livt-r und lurU.r jnojiU; to atop the gauging of liquors from rectifying Iiuii.mm; the Churokee outlet purchase, and an appropriation of $25,000 for a dry dork at Algiers, La. The senate passed on two election con tests in favor of sitting members, Du bois, of Idaho and Call of Florida, . the contestants being Clargert and David son, respectively. The house unseated Stewart, the republican sitting member from a Pennsylvania district, and gave the place to Craig. In the Nbyes-Rock well contest from New York it refused to follow the recommendation of the election committee that Rockwell, the democratic sitting member, be unseated, and by a majority rote eon firmed Rock well's title. Iu the cases of McDuffy ye. Turpin, from Alabama, Reynolds vs. Saonk and Grevy vs. Stall from Penn sylvania, and Miller va Elliott, from South Carolina, the elections committee reported in favor ef the sitting members. Failed In the House.

Whitfield First Assistant Postmaster-General Honolulu, the Cro-s-ltoads of the North Pacific, The epBcntial public inttrest attach ing to Hawaii grows out of its central position in the commerce of the Pacific Ocean. Honolulu is exactly in the track of all steamers sailing to Australasia from San Francisco or Puget Sound. The trade on this lino ts between kind red people now ouly in the gristle, but aiready includes one line of monthly steamers, with other lines in early prospect. What will this trafTlo be come when the two or three millions of English-speaking people on either coast shall have multiplied many fold? Even more precisely is Honolulu In the direct route of one part of that enormous traffic from Atlantic to Paci fic ports which eagerly awaits the cut ting of the Nicaragua Ship Canal, to burst in an impetuous tide thiough the Isthmus. All the trade with China and Japan from American ports on the Atlantic must take the Nicaragua route. It is this large movement of ocean commerce impending in the im mediate future, which lends the most terious importance to the political re lations ol the Hawaiian kingdom. Every ship from the Atlantic crossing the Pacific to Asia will naturally tight iha Hawaiian Islands, and every steam er will be likely to replenish her coal bunkers at Honolulu This fact will render the political condition an in ternational relation of Hawaii of im pirtance.
