WABIIIXOTOX , December 11. In the nenato
after routlno business Van Vyck oifered the
following :
"Whereas , n commercial treaty of great
importance has been negotiated between the
United States and Spain , which was made
public by the king of Spain to such an extent
that It wns cabled from Madrid by the Times
to New York city and given to the American
people hy that journal before ttie s.uno was
presented with becoming solemnity in the
eonato and , whoroae , provisions of said
treaty materially affecting revenues
and taxation and Involving no serious
( luostionu of diplomacy and state secrets , a
discussion thereof should bo in opon. saision BO
that the people may bo fully apprised of the
reasons why the said treaty should bo r.itiQod
or rejected. Therefore , resolved that the
commlttoo rules bo directed to report an
amendment or additional rule requiring treat
ies which ccncern inattom of revenue bo con-
Hidorod in open session. " On objection the
Wilson matter went ever ono day.
The considoation of the Oregon
land forfeiture bill was resumed
The amendment olferoJ by Plumb was
agreed to , 33 to 11 , repealing the act of March
3 , 18 5 , which allowed rettlers on railroad
lands subsequently forfeited to locate the
amount equal to the original entry without ad
ditional cost. Shcrmun in aomo remarks fa
voring this , said that , the land was open to
homestead entry , which won enough. It
would not do to permit speculators to get a
hold on these lands aud hold them from sot-
tlomont" He ( Shoinmi ) would fav. r in the
bill a repeal of tlio pre-emption laws ; they
had long outlived their iiBotulnesB , Morgan
said of mortgages that existed on the landa of
the company , the matter should be looked
into and the tights of all
psrliea affected ascertained. It might bo that
mortgagers' rights covered the right to take
tlm lands and build the uncompleted portion
of the road. Hn moved to recommit this bill
to the committee on public lands for further
examination. Mr. Van Wyclc said that dcy
after day until midnight the attorneys of
these railroad companies appeared before the
cominitteo _ and made evury conceivable ob
jection to these forfeitures. Everybody
kcnw that every land grant rail
I road company had put a mortgngo on , its
cntiro grant and it could have boon
cafely assumed from the beginning that this
compuny iid f olio wo J that course. If Alor-
pnn's position was correct , Van Wyck ivrpuod ,
not only would every mortgagee have to be
feoard but every judgment creditor , ton.
After further debate the bill had to yield to
the unfinished business of yesterday , being a
1)111 providing for the admission of Dakota.
Harrison replied at length to Vest's objec
tions nnd Cullom'd interstate commerce bill ,
which was the npeoi.il order for to-day , had no
opportunity of being considered. After the
oxicutivo session adjourned until Monday.

WAKIUNOTOK , December 11. The desks of
half n dozen-democrats were ornamented this
riorning hy roosters of brilliant plumage.
Tim IIouso resumed the consideration of
t&e interstate commerce bill. Ola cock di
rected his remarks more especially to the con-
tcdoration of the evils which grew out of the
BVfitem of "pooling 1 by railroad companies.
Ho ndvoctited a Btrict prohibition of this sys-
tam. He expressed a preference for the fea
ture of thu "Koagmi" substitute over the bill
of tho-cominitteu. He oppoancl however , a
provision of the substitute pruhibitiug greater
charges for a rhoit than a long haul as being
generally unjust , nnd especially inimical to
the : ntcn'st.i of his etata ,
Woodward upoko in f > uptiort of thu cominltton

Stcretajy Kitlinyu.'ceu to-day submitted to
the president a c.inpandiuud ktatunont the
jmrptto and etfeet uf vviious article * of the
Snarish treaty and nn nntlysts of the schoJ-
ufos altaciied to it , showing tucccetfvely the
nxact clmnges pioposed tn bo made in the ex
isting Spanish tariff. The fecretary aayi :
The object ho had inicv if the negotiation
of the treaty was three-fold ; first , to establish
Biicli tec procity iu the exchanges of products
between the United States and the neighbor
ing Spinish provinces and Unds nnd
Cuba and Porto 1'lco , and such mutual ship
ping privileges as would tend to a greater de
velopment of commerce ; second , toremovo the
restrictions and obstructions to which the
American trade and shipping for many years
has boon exposed under the tariff and custom
regulations of these islnmls ; and third , to sup
plement the treaty of 1785vti ! Spain by the
moro modern provisions ai to conumrchl free
dom , protection of the righu of persons nnd
property , and ' most fiuoml nation"
clause , which do not exist in
that treaty. A new feature
specially noted ia a stipulation that the ben
efits of the carrying trade shrill IIP limited to
American and bpantth vessels. The secretary
then explains thu treaty article hy article and
Its bearing on the objects aimed at. Ho then
says : "It in maintained by us that the "most
favored nation clause" treaties could not bo
app'.led In Its unrestricted sense to reciurocity
convention ? , but that when two nations slip ,
ulate for special favors , or a reciprocal reduc
tion of duties upon spociliod conditions third
powers cannot claim or enjoy like favors
except upon the fame or equivalent con
ditions In the negotiation of commercial
coventlous with countries on the American
continent and adjacent islands , iu view of the
disp&ilty of the papulatUin , it is not to bo ex
pected nor is it possible wo can necuro an ex-
ret equivalent exchange for product * . In the
case of the Spanish Antilles , two and u quar
ter millions of inhabitants cannc t olTern mar
ket equal to lilty-fivo or sixty millions of pee
ple. Other considerations besides those nf-
feeling the revenue merely have to bo remem
bered. Now markets for agricultural products
and manufactures of the country are highly
dosirnblo [ a this period of our production , and
encouragement to our shippiyg Is a matter of
the highest moment. If these objects can ba
secured in exchange for tropical pro
ducts for general consumption by aur puoplo
It is not csBontial that the loss of revenue of
the two contracting parties should bo cqilal or
even approximating ; indeed , if the conces
sions on either aide are proportionate to the
population of the respective contracting par
ties , should they bo equal or even approxi
mately BO. Indeed , if the concessions on
either si do are proportionate to the population
of the respective contracting parties the inin-
ciplo of true reciprocity may ba deemed to have
beou objcrvo . The only products Cuba and
parts as named for admission to thn United
States which require special notice are sugar
and tobocco , cofloo and most items scheduled
as duty free already on the froa list , of our
tariff , the duty on sugars and tobacco is the
chief basis upon which we can negotiate any
treaties of commercial reciprocity with tropi
cal countries and America. It w.-s conpidor-
od to bo loss injuriom to our nativu tobacco
both leaf and manufactured , a rcduc'ionof
ifty per cent , than to concede free adiniesion
to either leaf or manufactured snp irately
in viewof the fact that even after tlio reduc
tion of Cuban tobaccs and cigars wil b > sub
ject to a heavy import dnty and to in ; ernal
rovennu taxes in addition it seems that our
lioiuo producers aud manufacturers can still
enjoy a fair and remunerative protection , 03-
[ Hcially when under tha treaty with Cuba-
md Port Ilto w ill for the first time be open
to American tobacco at a-rate of duty much
lower than the reciprocal duty levied in the
United States. In anangieg the schcdunls for
admission of American products into Cuba
and Porto llico , the Spanish government will
tie under the noceseity of respecting the obli
gations which it had contracted with r. fjurd
: o the Cuban debt , to tecuro the interest and
principal of which a certain portion of tha
: ustoms and revenues nad been pledged. The
government claims it has gone us far towards
; ho completely frco admission of products as
ts public faith anil obligations will permit.
An examination of tha schedules will , show we
have obtained lorgj aud important concessions
'or our agricultural industries and national
iroducta. The significance and value of these
: oncessions are shown by the fact that uuder
.he present tariff of tha Spanish West Indies ,
iheso products nra burdened with such heavy
duties that only n limited demand ctiu bo cre
ated , while with a free market provided by
the treaty tha consumption must bo largely in
creased. Concession to American manufact
ured gcods are not less important. While the
Spanish government did not feel
that it could in good faith
to its creditors , remove all import duties on
American goods. On another largo list of ar-
ticlea such laro reductions hive been made
that producers and manufacturers in the Uni
ted States can compete successfully for the
trade of thu islands. The BCe.rot.iry concludes
ns follows : I cannot doubt that the conven
tion will work immeiliato benefit to our citi
zen" , our trade and our veeeels ,
The loss of revenue which a reduction of
Bugar and tobacco duties involve harmonizes
\yith tlio polii y whic.li placed collea and ether
like products on the free list. Unlike that
moastiie , however , the present schema utilizes
this favor to our population by it in purchas
ing other favora with an enlarged denrind in
Cuba mid Porto IMco for articles which wo
nrj by this arrangement entitled to
supply under favorable conditions. .
A commercial movement toward the
articles from our bhores mutt
Bpring up whi jb will tend to equalize , if in
deed it doou not fipeadily and entirely equalize -
izo the pnwont iri-quality of trade between
thorn. Our vusat'ld niimt necessarily Miaro
largely in this augmented commerce. Under
the act of cortps , the Spanish government is
empowered to ratify thu convention and to
[ nit it into operation without further legisla
tive action. The completion of
tlio compact by ratification uf
the convolution and by thu passage
of Rtatutc-a needful to carry it into effect on
our p.iit rest wholly with tha congre.'rfof the
United Status. In order that commerce may
not sulfur in the meantime through stagnation
while awaiting the result of their delibera
tions it is most dcmrablu that not a single un-
nocefs.iry day shall onaua In giving
effect to thu convention , which taken
in connection with like ongagoiucnta
of the American pyntem must uxort an im
mediate and ben tidal i licet on the iuttr-

the chief deputy In County Clerk llyan's office -
fico , makes a public atatoraeiit this morning
over his own signature , charging Henry liielil ,
ouo of the emplopos ui the county clerk's of
fice , with having abstracted the cnvolopo con
taining the ballots of the second precinct of
the eighteenth ward and thereby allowing a
substitution of forged ballots found in the envelope -
volopo when the same was opened by the federal -
oral grand jury. Gleason relates that the envelope -
velopo iu question was placed with others in n
largo box in the county clerk's vault and nailed
up. On the day the Bounty canvassing board
closed its labors , and when the first impres
sion had been created that a fraud had been
perpetrated , Air. Kyan sent word to Gleason
to take good cnro of the returns.
On the receipt of this mes
sage Gloason says ho called to his as
sistance llonry lliehl , Wm. J. Sweeney , and
Wn. Harper , clerks ii the ollico , Search
was made for the returns , Biehl finding them
in a nailed chest , whereupon the twu other
searchers were directed to not look any longer.
Glcason then went to attend to othur duties.
Biehl soon afterward informed ( Iloason that
he had placed them in ono of the tin drawers
in the vault , numbered 211. The only persons
knowing the eiact drawer in which those bal
lots had been placed wore Biohl and Gleason.
Gleason save ho aid not personally make an
examination of drawer 241 to ascertain
whether Biohl iuformnd him correctly or not ,
but took it for Granted that ho did.
Ho did not go to tlio drawer until . ( November
25 , when ho scum ! them there. Pnevioua to
that time he declarer ho never had the envoi ,
ope in his hands. The vault in which these
ballots were kept was locked with a combina
tion , being known only to four persons , Henry
Bichl , John Shields , John O'Laughlin and
Gleason. The ballots wdro pieced in the
vault where the combination was known only
to four and their location only to but two ,
Biehl and Gleason. Gleason then says
thoovidcnco shows beyond a doubt
that a change m ballots was made while in the
vault of the county cleik'a office , The evi
dence also chows that neither Shield or
O'Laughlin knew wheio thpy weie placed , &nd
it would have been exceedingly difficult for
nny ono not knowing their exact location to
find thorn.
The ballots having been taken from the
vault in the afternoouof November Slst.eithor
Biehl or himself is guilty and aa ho declares
ho did not commit the crime , it could
havehccn committed by no
other person than Biohl , and
ho ( Slcascn ) therefore charges him with its
perpetration. The two persons now diiectly
charged with the crime are Joseph C. Mack ,
secretary of the Cook county democratic cen
tral committees who ordered the bogus tickets
printed , and Biehl with abstraction of the en
velop' containing the orjgin&l ballotts to r.llov , '
the substitution of the bogus ono ; .
Henry Biehl also makes a public statement
in which hn traverses the charges umdo by
Gleason , Ho says the crime of removing the
envelope from the county vault was undoubt
edly committed hy ( iloasnn or himself , and. as
ha knowa ha is not the guilty party ho believes -
lioves tJlenson to be , and U strengthened iu
this view owing to the extraordinary state
ments made by ( ileason before the grand jury.

WASIIINUTO.V , Dftember 10. Kditor Itcao-
water of the Omaha BKE made nn argument
to-d y bcfoio the neiinto judiciary committee
in opposition to the sixty-year fnudimr bill ,
Among other thlngr ho said :
"It is au established fuct that the first niurt-
g So and subsidy bonds of the Union 1'aciCc
railroad represent nn cnormoi.8 oxccts ou the
actual cost of the road from Omaha to Ogden ,
And its entire capital Block tip to 1SS3 WAS
fraudulently issued , contrary to Its charter -
or % as WAS proved by teitiimny of
olhcprs of the road bcf9ro congicssional
committee ? . For fifteen years the people of
the trans-Missouri region have boon compelled
to Rubn.it to the outrngeoua exactions of this
national highway In urdor to enable Its man
agers to pay interest upon its excessive debt
and upon its lictittou * capital , * According to
the roXtts ] of the company more than 25 j > or
cent nf the gross earnings of the Union Pa
cific llailroad are derived from local tratlic.
In other words , the psopln along the line be
tween Oijdeii and the MUsouti rKor , .And
largely in Nebraska , have boon taxed an ig-
prcgato of oxer § 10,000,000 per nunum for the
tramportation of products.
"In view of the fact that congress up to
1878 had failed to protect the government or
the people from the aggressions and \iolntioui
of charter provisions by the managers of the
Union 1'acilie , and oven after the piwogo oi
the Thurman act failed to enforce its pro\is-
ions , It would slniply bo monstrous to Impose
upon the local population of the icpion ttav
ersod by the road an Involuntary servitude
for more than half n century. This is not all.
By extending the period of the maturity of
the Pacfic railroad debt duo the government ,
all hope of competition hotwoon the various
Pacific railroads is absolutely dcsl'oyod for
fifty years. It is obvious that nn form rates
would bo maintained by all these roads as n
matte of self-interest. By this net Con
gress would naturally permit the Union Pa
cific to corn Interest ou its recognized debt ,
and thpjoianngor ? would endeavor to earn in
cdditlon thereto dividends on their pretended
capital , The rates fixed by the Union Pacific
would furnish the basis for all other lines west
of the Missouri , * *
"It is , howoxor , entirely needless for 'con
gress to resort to such extraordinary legisla
tion under any pretense , The earnings of the
roid.nro ample to moot its just liabilities and
nay interest on its actual cost , oven with ma
terial reduction iu rates from tlmo to tlmo , if
congress will prohibit the payment of im
proper dividends and compel the company | lo
devote the proceeds of laud Bales to the liqui
dation of its bonded liabilities. The pro
posed sixty years' extension will have the
effuct to delay the sale of the Innd-craut , and
consequently will retard the settlement of the
country. "
.Health Conference ,
WASHINGTON , December 11. The national
conference of the health boards resumed to
day. Dr. llaymond , health officer of Brook
lyn , said all the ponds in that city had been
filled and other sanitary precautions adopted ,
Ho thought all surface wells should be cloeod
and the sewers kept Hushed. Erastus Brooks
of the state board , of Now York and Brook
lyn , to prevent the spread of contagious dis
eases , believed those cities were well prepared
tr > resist the introduction of cholera. Dr.
Smith , of Now York , delivered nn address up
on the water supply from wells ; he thought it
should be absolutely interdited by the author
ities unless a chemical analysis had proved
them pure ,
C.V Rowland , of Cincinnati , said the
health officers were making every effort to put
that city iu a gocd sanitary condition and
prevent the accumulation of filth.Dr. . Id-
dings , of Dayton , Ohio , leported the death
rate of that city above the average , which was
the result ot the roneral use of old fashioned
privy vaulti and cesspools , Reports were also
presented by Gray , of Pittsburp , Germor , of
Krlo , Pa , followed by 0. B , Thornton , of
Nashville , Tonn. , Dr. Lindsloy , of the state
board of health , c Tennoosseo , and Dr. Wrr > .
Perry , of Galveston. The latter said the state
authorities had complete control of qnaran-
tine and panitary arraneompnti. Dr. Kevls ,
rrpresenling the West Virginia utato board'
advocated the appointment of women as
liouao to house inspectors , as they
would find many defects overlooked by mou.
Ho tried to cultivate the cholera scare in
Wheeling , believing it had a good effect in
improving the cleanliness of the city. Re
ports wore also made by Dr. J. T. Reeves , of
Wisconsin , Health Officer Townsend , of
Washington , D. C. , Dr. Muntizambsrt , of
Quebec , representing the hoilth boards of
Canada , Drs. Cavertoii and CanmfT , ot
Toronto , and Dr. Baker and Dr. Campbell , of
Richmond , Va. said the death rate amen ?
the negroes there was very large , and attribu
ted it to tlio poverty , and not to the condi
tion of the city. Ho was catisfiod thit the
future mortality among the negroes would bo
imuh loss. Sicretaiy McCprmach made a
ppeciol report upon the peculiar contagion in
