\VJHHIXOTOV , Dec. D. In the senate to-
flay Mr. Vcot offered n resolution continuing
the existence of the select committee on the
iUeslinn | touching the meat product of the
Imitcd States , especially as to Its transporta
tion , with Icavo to sit aurinf ? the cession and
during the next recess. Referred to the com
mittee on contingent expenses.
Mr , Dawes offered n resolution , which was
iiRrced to , calllnp on the secretary of the In
terior for Information as to the alleged out-
rofjcs and restraint of liberty committed in
Alaska on Indian females and other persons ,
tmd what steps , If any , had been taken by
the department to protect the persons of
females in Alaska from such outrages.
Mr. Hoar offered a resolution , which was
i cfcrred to the committee on contingent cx-
jwinev continuing the select committee on
relations with Canada , with power to sit
timing the recess , and to report at the De
cember session of 1S&0.
Mr. Plumb offered n resolution , which was
nijrccd to , instructing the committee on
epidemic discuses to inquire ns to the causes
of the introduction of yellow fever during the
paht soo-son ; whether the Insti nmcntalitios of
such introduction are still In force , and what
legislation , If any , is necessary to prevent a
Bimllar introduction of yellow fever.
When the tariff bill was taken up to-day
Mr. Harris of Tennessee moved to lay on the
table the amendment to the house bill pro
posed by the committee on llnaucc , nnd do-
jnnmlcd the yens and nays. The motion was
i elected by n strict party vote yeas 10 , nays ,
SiO. The rending of the amendment was then
proceeded with.
Mr. Vance moved an amendment to the to-
Vacco section , reducing the limit of claim for
yobato from ? 10 to f5. Kcjcctod.
The next subject , commencing nt Section 3
jmd ending at Section 11 , was that of "Alco-
liol in Industrial arts. " No amendment was
offered , but Mr. Sherman said ho had very
grave doubts as to the practicability of ap
plying these sections without encouraging
fraud. Ho would reserve the rlglit to offer
one or two amendments to faotuo of the de
tails.
tails.Mr.
Mr. Harris gave notice that ho would have
Rome amendments to offer to tlio Internal rev
enue sections.
Various amendments to the internal reve
nue sections woio offered by Mr. Vance , and
all were rejected.
At 2 o'clock the Union Pacific settlement
bill came up as unfinished business , and was
postponed as a special order till Wednesday
next.
Consideration of the tariff bill was then re-
Binned.
Mr. ATanco offered another amendment ,
which was agreed to without division. It
provides that when the health or life of a
prisoner under the internal revenue laws is
endangered by close confinement , the judge
may issue an order providing for such pris
oner's reasonable comfort and well-being.
Then came section 1" , which deals with
"duties upon imports , " beginning with schedule -
ulo A , "chemical products. "
Mr. McPherson called attention to the fact
that the rates of duty rcporteel for chemical
products made no allowance for the remit
tance of tax on spirits used in medicine.
This remission would , ho said , simply
operate as an additional bounty
on chemical products. No member of the
llnnnco committee would deny that there
would bo great frauds on the revenue
under the provision for free alcohol in the
arts nnd manufactures , Ho therefore re
garded these provisions ns the llrst step
towards the total abrogation of the whisky
tax. Ho was unalterably opuoscd to such
legislation , to any remission of the tax
on spirits , nnd to any system which offoied a
premium on Iraud and this bill virtually
did that.
Mr. Allison denied that the proposed legis
lation was a step in elimination of the tax on
ellsttlled spirits.
The discussion then took u political turn.
A vote was finally taken on the motion made
by Mr. MePhorson to strike out all sections
ns to alcohol used in manufactures ,
nnd it was rejected , yeas 17 , nays
31. Mr. Sherman voted with tlio
other republicans in the negative.
After disposing of thirty pages of tbo bill ,
nnd reaching the cnd of schedule A , no
amendments being offered , the senate pro-
cocdod to executive business and soon ad
journed.
House.
\VAsnisaTos , Dec. 6. Under the call of
states \\\o \ \ following were introduced nnd re
ferred :
A bill to regulate immigration ; a bill to di
vide the state of California into two states ;
a resolution calling on the secretary of the
treasury for information concorulng the ro
ller of American whaling and fishing vessels
in Bearing sea and the Arctle ocean : a bill
to establish a graduated income tax , the pro
ceeds of which shall bo applied to the pay
ment of pensions ; a resolution directing the
interstate commerce commission to in
form the house , nfter prompt nnd duo
investigation , in what ways mid to what
cjctent railway companies , carrying inter
state trafllc , may bo or are evading , or by
clearing house or other form of combination ,
may bo seeking to evade , those provisions of
the inter-state commerce act which were in
tended to secure to the people the bcncJlts of.
low freight rates ns u result of competition
among carriers. The commission is re
quested to inform the house- what legislation
may bo most effective to prevent combina
tions for the purpose of fixing or maintain
ing agreed or uniform freight i ales , nnd to
transmit a stenographic repoit of the testi
mony taken. A bill making the International
copyright bill n special order for December
r. 19 ; a bill making thu postal tcjlograph bill a
special order for December 14 ; a bill
% for the construction of two stool crulseis , to
bo armed with dynamllo guns und toipodo
throwers ; also for the construction of txvo
Btool rams , to bo armed with heavy , rilled
dynamite guns and torpedo throwers ,
Mr. Springcrof , Illinois , asked unanimous
consent for immediate consideration of the
resolution making the "Omnibus" bill for
the admission of Dakota , Montana , AVusu-
ington nnd Now Mexico n Boporuio order for
to-duy , tbo bill to bo considered from day to
day until disposed of.
Mr. Grosvenor. of Ohio , objected , icuiark-
ing that the gentleman from Illinois hud not
appeared very anxious last session to admit
Dakota.
In consideration ot the morning hour the
bouse proceeded to consider the nenato bill
fortho adjustment of accounts ) of laborers ,
workmen and mechanics arising under the
eight hour Inw.
After a brief debate the bill wont over
without action ,
Mr. Payson , from the committee on public
lands , icportcd ns privileged matter the bill
to quiet the title of settlers on thu Les ) Moincs
river lands in Iowa.
Mr. Howell made n point of order that the
i'l ( > ort was not a privileged one.
Mr. Cox submitted an elaborate argument
in support of a decision previously made by
him , that while a portion of the bill was
privileged in Its character , the predominant
features had no privilege attached to them ,
aud that therefore the bill was not ; such a
ono us could be reported from the committee
at any time. Ho made the further point
that thu decision having once been rendered ,
oven by a speaker pro tern , the matter was res
ajudica and could again bo brought forward
for ruling ,
Mr. Payson regarded It as a ridiculous po
sition to tnlie , that a decision once rendered
could not bo reviewed or reversed ; and he
proceeded to contend that the bill was priv
ileged , Inasmuch as the germ uf the measure
was a declaration that certain lands in Iowa
were publio lands , a declaration which
brought it within the scope of the rules
granting certain rights to thu committee on
public lands.
In inanlng the ruling the speaker lala be
tlouuht that questions of order which affected
merely the proceedings of the benne , and did
not , like the judgment of a court , conclude
the right of parties , wore always open to ro-
examination. The point bud been tnndo
tlint the bill was not one for the
reservation of publio lauds for the
benefit of actual settlers. The chain had
always placed n liberal construction on the
rule ( minting certain privileges to the com
mittee on publio land * . It was not tlia prov
ince of the chair to express an opinion as to
the merit of the bill , or ns to whether , If
passed , it would accomplish Its object. It
was BUfllelout that the bill showed on Its
face that Its purpose was to reserve public
! " ! ( ! s for the benefit of all settlers , pni1. if
passOel , could aft'eot only those lnn < ! U which
were improperly ccrtllled by the secretary of
the Interior to the state of Iowa Of course ,
If Improved , certain lands were still public-
lands. The second section of the bill simply
provided the means to accomplish the pur
pose of the measure. The question raised ,
that non-privileged persons could not
be connected with n privileged matter , did
not arise In this Instance. With great respect
for the opinion of the gentleman from New
York ( Cox ) , the chair felt constrained to
hold that the bill presented n matter of priv
ilege , and was before the house for consider
ation.
Uoforo the discussion opened the proceed
ings were Interrupted to enable Mr. Mills to
present and the house to enter the following
order ;
That Thursday , December 0 , Saturday , the
8th , nnd Tuesday , the llth , immediately after
thorcadlngofthojournal.be sot apart for
consideration of senate bill No. lit' ' , ) ( the di
rect tax bill ) now in committee of the whole ,
nnd that nt 4 p. m. on Tuesday , December 1 1 ,
the siemo shall be reported to the house , with
such amendments as may bo agreed on in
committee , and the previous question shall
then bo considered as ordered on all such
amendments on ordering the bill to a third
reading nnd on Its passapc , and the votes
thereon shall be taken In the house.
Mr. Springer asked unanimous consent for
the adoption of n resolution iimkltiir the son-
nto bill for the admission of the territory of
South Dakota and the organl/atlon of the ter
ritory of North Dakota , a special order for
to-morrow , nnd from dav to day until dis
posed of. Thereafter the bill for the admis
sion of Montana , Washington and New Mexico
ice shall bo In order until disposed of
Mr. Ptivson objected for the present , and ,
calling up the DCS Moiucs river land bill , ho
proceeded to nrguo in favor of it , and to give
n history of Iho crant.
Mr. Wheeler regretted that the bill had
been brought into the house unexpectedly ,
thus preventing him from tiling a minority
report , a ho had intended to do. Thcro were
in the committee rooms numerous petitions
from settlers proteating against the bill , but
bo was not now nblo to obtain them.
The bill was then passed.
The house then-adjourned.

lows :
The reservation is to bo opened without the

ment Is an appropriation of $200,003 to defray

ST. Louis , Dec. 5. [ Special TelrgTam to
Tun HBE.I The Pullman Palace Car com
pany are greatly worried and perplexed at
the sudden disappearance of a conductor
named E. R. James , who Is believed to have
been foully dealt with or have met with a
fatal accident. Ho Iclt St. Louis Monday
night on Wabash train No. 7 at 8:25 : o'clock ,
and was last seen at Ferguson station. The
porter of the palace car missed him at St.
Charles , Mo. , and the train arrived in Omaha
yesterday without him. The strangest part
of the aflair was noted by the train hands on
Wabash train No. 8 , a through
passenger , which , arrived at the union
depot yesterday morning. When a
short distance east of St. Charles
the engineer noticed a coat and bat beside
the track , and t stopped. The train was
backed to the place , when it was found that
the articles were a cap and pait of a coat
belonging to n Pullman palace car con
ductor. The cars were examined , and on the
braiioboam of the forward car clots of fresh
blood were found , but a further search
failed to ibid the body or piece of the body
of a human being. The pieces of coat and
cap wore carried into the city , and telegrams
were sent to every station between this city
and Omaha , but nothing was Hoen or beard
of tlio missing conductor anywhere. James
was thirty years of ago nnd married , and
lived with , his wife and ono child at No. 5tl !

A HKI'UIlIiToAN BOMB
About to Hxplodo lit tlio Very Midst of
Certain. Missouri Dniuperntu.
K\ssA.sCtTV , Mo. , Dec. -Special ( Tclo-
grain to THE HKR. } For some time past a
number of promii o it republicans have boon
holding secret gatherings in the Journal
building , and have been preparing to expljdo
n most destructive bomb in the very midst ot
the democratic hosts. The gathering has
styled llselt "The Quay Club , " and not until
last night had the plans reached a point at
which secrecy was almost impossible. The
work done by the legal committee of tbo
Quay club , has in view the Indicting of nt
least ono hundred nnd seventy democrats ,
many of whom were prominent in Iho coun
cils of the party , nnd assisted in the work of
voting the alleged illegal and colont/cd con
tingent.
JudgeMcOary Is nt the head of the legal
sub-committee ) , nnd last night stated to the
members of the club that tlio evidences
nt hand in fully one hundred and twenty-
five cases was absolutely conclusive. Of
this large number , 110 were voted pi ono pre
cinct near Independence , nnd it is alleged
were in charge of IConclick & Gleason , a
firm of contractors. Two barrels of boor
sent to this colonized vote were ordered , it is
ascertained , by the investigating committee
through the chairman of tbo democratic cen
tral committee. At the lusj , meeting of the
club it was stated that the evidence at hand
was sufllcicnt to send at least a dozen demo
crats , including several on the county com
mittee , to the penitentiary. One aflldavit at
hand alleges that ono democratic ouicial was
counted in under a threat that ho would ex
pose the whole illegal voting scheme unless
the result unfavorable to him was made to
appear diiferently. The republican invest !
cr.iting committee claims to have made a poll
of the actual vote in the county , and claim
to have evidence at hand showing that 3,500
or tt,000 , votes were cast illegally in tno
county.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 5. A reporter for the

report recently published that ho had been
tendered by the president-elect the position
of secretary of tbo interior. Mr. Clarkson
said : "If it is worth while to deny any such
improbable rumor you may say there.is no
truth in it whatever. I have .not been tcu :
dered that nor any other position by Presi

votcrnns of the Grand Army o ( the Republic
was hold In the Amusoinont ball nt Fort
Robinson to-day. This Is the third mooting
of tlio kind held nt Fort Robinson \vlthin the
past three months , the object being to coiv
suit with General Jumps S. Hrisbm , of the
tiatlonnl staff , who has boon ill. \ eslordny
General Hrlsbln was present , ntul n private
mooting , lasting thrco hours , was hold. Tlio
condition of the order in western Nebraska
was gone over , and It was found to bo very
satisfactory , The order is nourishing mid
.the membership rapidly increasing. There
is money on hand for the sick , and all the
posts are In excellent llnanelal condition. The
proposition to build a Grand Army bull at
Crawford was made and the comrades
offered to subscribe the necessary inotiny ,
General Brisbtn said If the Crawford post
would organize a Ilttlo building association
and tlio comrades take the stoek , they could
in a short time clear the cost of the hall by
rents , and then the income , after the stock
was paid off with interest and cancelled ,
would form a ilno Income for the Crawford
post in all time to come. Ho thought an
eligible site for the hall would bo donated by
the 13. & M. , Klkhorn road , or by Mr. Pad
dock , who was the son of an old soldier.
Tlieso thrco own the town of Crawford , and
ho sold lie would see Mr. Paddock and talk
over tho'mattcr with him , If the comrades
desired him. The general was unanimously
requested to do so.
The command of the Crawford and Hobln-
son post was then tendered General Hrisbin
for the ensuing year. At llrat ho declined ,
but on being informed that it w.is the unan
imous request of the veterans that ho should
command them , hn said such a request ought
not to bo refused , and they might use his
name. Ho will bo elected on the IDth of De
cember ut the regular yearly meeting to
elect annual oilicors.
When asked by your correspondent what
ho thought of the defection in the Grand
Army among the democrats last election ,
General Hrisbin said : "There is nothing in
it ; wo positively have no politics in the Grind
Army. There were a lot of copperheads in
our army during the war who should h.ive
been on the other sldo. After the war they
fastened themselves on the Grand Army and
have been trying to use il to get ofllco for
themselves. Yes , Palmer's ono of them.
The comrades elected him governor ol Illi
nois once and ho wanted them to do it again ,
but they wouldn't , qnd ho got mad and wants
to break up the older. Ho is all broken up
himself , but the ordcr , is sound. I wish to
gradious goodnessthe copperheads would
got out of the Grqad Army , as they are con
tinually trying to m4kc trouble in it In their
feeble way. They are about as powerful in
the Grand Army as they were in the army
during the war. They don't hurt much , but
they are disgruntled , and nothing suits them.
They grumble anclgn , > wl and threaten to , re
sign , and , so far as am concerned , I wish
Hiey would. The order of the Grand Army
is now -120,000 strong , and thcro are not
20,000 of these disgruntled fellows in the
whole United States. Wo can spare them.
"Did I vote for Harrison 1 We don't vote In
the regular army , hut if I had been around
voting that day 1 excct | ) I would have done
so. Didn't the Grand Army men gcncially
vote for Harrison ? . Upon my soul , I don't
know , but it lookslhat way , don't iti Yotf
see , Comrade Harrison stands well with tlie
Grand Army boys. Ho was a soldier in the
war and carriesu lilt of rebel lead , and the
scurred old veterans lilcc that. Uain or
shine , ho was always1 out with the boys , and
the mud was never Mo deep for him to pa
rade. The old ladysavs Benjamin is reliable
and steady in all things but the Grand Army.
Ho don't smolco or drink , and comes homo
regularly at good hours unless the Grand
Army mou have a campflre somewhere , and
then ho is liable to stay out all night.
Ho likes to sing , or try to sing , and
listen or tell war stories of the days
when ho went'soldiering. My dear sir , the
associations formed in the field during the ,
war will last as long as life among the men
who fought shoulder to shoulder m that war.
These feelings all find expression in the
Grand Army , the purest and most patriotic
organization on earth. If t c comrades help
each others it to bo woifdercd ati Siill , I
repeat there is no politics in it , only love ,
fratoinity and unity. Did Hariison ask the
Grandi Army men to stand by him ? Of
'
course'not. No Grand Army man ever asks
a comrade to vote for him. It would not bo
propbr ; besides , . It Would , as a general thing ,
bo unnecessary. Is General Harrison in sym
pathy with the G. A. K. and close to it ? You
bet ho is so close in fact that wo can feel
him breath and hear his soldier heart-beats
away out hero in Nebraska. There are no
Hios on Harrison. "
"Now that will do. You have had enough
about the G. A. K. , and I wont tell you any
thing more to-day. Remember , it is a purely
patriotic organization , and entirely nonpartisan
tisan in its aims and objects Love , fra
ternity and charity. " W. D. E.

An fdlcctrlc Mountain Railway.
A correspondent of the London Dally
News in Lueortie , sends to that piiuoran
account of an electric mountain rail
way the fii-nt of its kind which has re
cently been opened to the public ut the
Burgonslock , nour Lucerne :
Hitherto it bus been considered im
possible to construct a funicular moun
tain railway with a curve , but the now
.ino of the Burgonstock lias achieved
jlmt feat under tbe superintendence of
Mr. Abt , the Swiss electrical unpinoor.
The rails describe one grand curve
formed on an angle of 112 degrees , and
Jio journey is inude as steadily and us
smoothly as upon any of the straight
funiculars previously constructed. A
ucd has been cut , from the most part put
of the solid rock , in the mountain side
Irom the shore of the lake of Lucerne
: o the height of the Burgenstock 2,330 ,
'cot above its level , and U,860feot above
, he level of the sea. The total length
of the line is 038 meters ( ubout 3,0)0
'cot ' ) , and it commences with
i gradient of 82 per cent , which
s increased to 58 per cent after the
Irst400 meters , and this is maintained
'or the rest of the journey. A single
jsiir of rails is used throughout , with
, ho exception of a few yards at half
liatanco to permit the two curs to pass.
Through the opposition of the Swiss
government , each car is nt the present
.imo only allowed to run at half dis
tance , and they insist upon the passen-
jers changing , in order , as they say , to
avoid collision or accident. A number
of journeys were made up and down the
mountains in company with the en
gineer , and the experience is sulllcient
, o provo that the prohibition is alto-
jothor unnecessary. The motive
lower , electricity , is generated by two
lynnmos , each of twenty-five horse-
> ewer , which are worked by n wntor-
vheol of 122 horse-power , erected upon
, ho river Aar at its mouth at nunulis ,
, hreo miles away. Only one man is re
quired to manage the train , and the
novcmont of the cars is completely
under his control. Ono dynamo is
sufficient to perform the work of liaul-
ng up and letting down the cars-con
taining lifty or sixty portions. At the
end of the journey , comnlotod In about
Ifteon minutes , at an ordinary walking
speed , the car moves gently against a
spring blilTor , and is locked by a lever ,

CIIK AOO , Dec. 5 - The committee ) on classi
fications , after two days' discussion of the
subject before it , resolved today that strict
uniformity cannot be reached b > forced or
hurried measures without pioduolng condi
tions disastrous to the business interests of
the country. It was agreed that greater
uniformity in the classification of freight is j
both desirable and practicable , but that the
only safe way to work out the problem was ,
by-irequcnt conferences and coiibtant effort
by the railroads to remove the dispautics in
tbesoveial classifications now in use. A
standing committee was tlkcrefoio appointed ,
composed of txvo members fiom euch of the '
various traftlo associations , to follow up tlio
woik of combining the diffoicnt clausillca-
tions. It was instiucted to use such a num
ber of classes as will pi event conflicting

sections of the country , without sacrificing
the proper Interests of the carrleis. The
