resolution was adopted calling on the

savlngof public expenditure could bo niado
by transferring the bureau of pensions from
the Interior department to the war depart
ment.
A resolution was adopted calling upon the

mate as to the amount of money which will
boroqul rod for the payment , of arrearage .In
the cuso the limitation of the nrroais act is

A bill was passed authorizing affidavits
and depositions under the public land laws
to bo made before cotumlsafoncrs of United

of record In which the land is situated.
Mr. Pnyson of Illinois called up the bill to
repeal the timber culluro laws , pending
notion on which the morning hour expired
and the house went Into committed of the
whole on iho pension appropriation bill.
Mr. Morrow , In clmrgo of the bill , which
appropriates $93,427,401 , explained its pro
visions In detail , and lu reference to the
general subject of pensions said It might
safely bo assumed that the number. of pen
sioners would reach its maximum about July
1 , ISO I , when the cxpcndtturo would bo
$112,000,000. On that date , undoVtho exist
ing law , the number of pensioners on the
rolls would bo 750,000.
Mr. Sayers discussed the pension system
as affected by both iho nets of 'congress and
the administration of the service. " Ho cited
statistics to show that from .lu'ly'J' ' , 18BO , to
January 1 , 1800 , the expenditures of tjo gov
ernment for pensions ( wore ' $ t,1D , " > ! KO,017 ;
that the expenditures for' 'pensions for the
past fiscal year were $ i9,131W ; tfiat the ex
penditures for pensions fro'in March' 4 , 1789 ,
to Juno , 1SG1 , throughout n period of sevonty-
two and a half-years , "wero $ SO,7a3W7 , ! , and
the excess of pension disbursements for the
fiscal year ending .Tuna ! 10 , ISS9. ov'er the
pensions from 17s9 to 1&01. 'ar ' period of
seventy-two and a half years was $5,393,041.
Ho severely criticised the administration of
the pensiqn otllco and cited many instances
where ho claimed Uio decisions were" incor
rect and Improper. ' Ho wished to' call at
tention to the manner In which 'tho , pension
system wns being administered , lie thought
there should bo a thorough/fbVc.stlgatlon of
the system in order that complete justice
should bo dona to ttio men who had fought
for their country , aud that bounty "jumpers
might , bo stricken from tho'rplls' . '
Mr. Peters said that for the lirst time In the
history of the country tbo lduso | li'id before
it a careful and concise bstimatn of what the
expenditures of the pension bureail would
bo during tbo next fiscal year. lie defended
the administration of- the pension bureau.
While ho did not defend all ( tie nets of Com
missioner runner ho could only .say that that

Among the pension bills" reported wa's-ono
giving a pension of ? 50 "per month"to Mrs.
Stevens , a daughter of Qehbral Baker , who
was killed at the Uatllo f J alls tuff.
Immediately aftor-.tho- . . morning business
the consideration of tho1 urgent ddlicicncy
bill was resumed. Tbo bilKlinally passed
after several amendments' nad been made ,
including one authorizing tho' usoxrt ? T .000
for the relief of the TurtlO'Monritain' band of
Indians at Devil's Lake agency.
The Blair educational bUlvas than taken
up and Mr. na\vloy addressed iho sennto In
opposition to it. ( .Congress did not [ govern
so well that it should undertake
to do everything , said Mr. Ilawloy ,
There wcro not school houses
onouch in the city of "Washington , where
congress baa exclusive jurisdiction. Half of
the children hud to attend school in the fore
noon and half in tflo afternoon. Congress
had shown that it could not'run the common
schools of the district. Ho found , too , that
congress was not a success in the manage
ment of the Indians , for ho read every day
charge ! ! that government agents wcro rob
bing the Indians , and ho had roatl recently
nu eloquent protest from the chief of the
Choroicccs that they worn being crowded out
of their lands. Ho found congress was im
becile , so fur us tho' coast defenses of the
country were concerned. The government
had a few castiron guns and no protection
against first or second class ironclads.
Three or four years ago there hud boon
nothing but the ruins of n former brilliant
navy , some poor old broken down ragged
cripples of ships. Now the country was be
ginning to have a navy , but stilt it was prac
tically defenseless. Ho found the supreme
court loaded down with neglected business ,
so there was practically u denial of justice
all over the United States , and'congrcss had
not been able or willing to reorganlzp and
roUovo that court. In short , ho found
everywhere proots that congress \vas not
absolutely wise. Tlip bill was bad , It aban
doned the original Jhoory of , government and
launched the government on an unbounded
sea of wild schemes.
Mr. Moody offered sotnq amendments to
tbo bill , which ho said would render it
fairer to South Dakota , and made n brief
speech in support of the measure.
Mr. Chandler also argued in favor of the
bill. The bill then wont over till tomorrow.
The house amendments to the Oklahoma
bill were non-concurred In and n conference
ordered.
Among tno senate bills for publio build
ings passed were : Sioux Fulls , S. . D. ,
# 250,000 ; Deadwood , S. D. , JMO.OOO. Other

TAcoMt , W.tih. , March 13.Special ( Cor
respondence of Tun UEK. ] Tacoina and Se-
111110 are both thriving I'ltlos. Kach claims n
population of ! IOOOJ. In 1SSO Tacoma had
but 1,000 unit Seattle only about U.OOJ. So
late ns 1SSI It was doubtful whether the
Northciu Pacillo road would climb the Cas
cade mountains , and a tunnel over bo com
pleted through the autumn. .Since that time
the road has established its terminus at Ta
coma , the wharfage has Increased from TOO
feet to live miles , and the taxable property
of Pierre county from half a million to
$05,000,000. Twenty-two years ago \Vllliam
B. Ogden , the first Orosluent of the North
ern Pacltlu road , said that if the company
fixed its terminus on Puget Sound , it would
become the largest city on the Pacific coast.
Whether that place Is to bo Tuconm or Seat-
tin appears doubtful now ; both cities , which
nro only some thirty miles apart , present
claims equally strong to that distinction.
The nauio "Tacoma" was Ilrst known
through Tccodoro Wlnthrop's book , "Tno
Horse nud the Saddle , " which appeared in
-ISO'J. 'Winthrop wont to Panama for Aspln-
Wall in 1S52 , and in 1853 visited Piigot Sound
on his return. Ho gave an account of hii
voyaga in a canoe with Indians through
Puget Sound , and of his romantic and excit
ing nil CM > vert ho Cascade mountains. Hegavo
the name of Tacourn to the great mountain
peak hitherto known us Kalnior , nud the
word Is supposed to have been mi attempt
nt imitation of ono spoken by his Vukitno
friend ? . The name wns taken from his book
by the founders of the place. Winthrop was
killed early in the war at Big Ilethel , Va. ,
and his book was printed immediately after
His death. The name of the mountain dls-
tngulshc ! < the inhabitants of Taconm and
Seattle , wtib respectively call It " 1'acoma"
nud " { { ainicr , " ns earnestly as If their well-
being depended on the distinction.
Tacoma strlltcs ono going up to it from the
railroad station'much as'Kansas City im
pressed the visitor twenty years ago. 'Iho
road climbs along up the side of n lofty bluff ,
and when the level of tno principal street is
reached seven or eight other streets are
fohnd running parallel with it along the hill ,
witn a rise of suventy-tlve foot in each block.
This gradient is pnly on the streets running
up tno biutho ; parallel streets , unlllto these
of Kansas City , are noarlyjovel from end to
end. As the crest nf the hill U ncarcd the
vlow becomes moro expansive , of sound and
hill and mountain. Mount Tocama fifty
nillcs away rises loftily nbovo the surround
ing 'heights , and on a clear day at sunrise
seems to stand juat beyond the waters of
the sound. Some of the streets around the
hill , and notably Tacoma avenue about mid
way In the .height , nro building up hand
somely. There nro many beautiful homes
and lawnspand there are line school-build
ings , churches , business blocks and theaters.
Wliorc-aro now streets cut through the hill
ascending , nro neatly graded thoroughfares
nearly level running along the hill , there
was four years ago only u steep und wild
ascent tilled with standing timber , with logs
lying about. Oil nil the first live streets
along the hill residences and business blocks
are everywhere mingled , many of the latter
ot brick and three and four stories in height.
The streets nro all run at right angles and
are wide , llko these of Omaha , Tacoma has
only Just'discnrded horsocars , and is substi
tuting electric cars. The city is with all its
activity , bustle and thrift a very quiet , law-
abiding .place. There is no moro ovi-
donee of inebriety and lawlessness here ,
than ono sees lu Omaha ; tbo saloons
are quiet places and gambling is carried on
inconspicuously. The churches are numer
ous , largo and neat , and arc well attended ;
Kev. Mr. Copeland , lately of Omaha , in com
mon with all the religious pastors , has his
house woll-hllcd with u well-drcs&od. intelli
gent qnd alert congregation. The peonlo
are mostly new comers from the eastern and
middle states , who think lirst of all of their
business , school , church and social relations.
Uho establishment of the terminus of the
Northern , Pncillo road , with the
nxpenditu'ro by the company of
? JOW,000 ) or ? "i,0t)0,000 ) on terminal improve
ments , shops und ofllccs , is leading moro aud
moro , to largo permanent investments of
private capital , as in the locks aud ware
houses along the city front for sea-going
vessels : in the monster Raw mills located
along tbo shore for .several miles ; in the great
smelting works now nearly completed , at an
expense of nearly $500,000 , and in many
other manufactories and shops that are cer
tainly going up. A magnificent structure will
bo built the coming season for the
display of the industries and resources of the
commonwealth. From its lofty towers the
sound , Commencement bay , Mount Tacoma ,
the Cascades and the Olympic mountains
will bo seen. The main building will bo
iiSOxSOO feet , and two stories in height.
There will bo botanical gardens constructed
of iron and glass , tilled with blossoms and
foliage , the most magnificent to bo found in
the northwest , especially the Horn of Puget
sound , with sea and fresh water plants , und
submarine vegetation , the tanks being ornn
montcd with shells and rocks. A collection
of wild animals and birds native to the re
gion , of indiguous plants and nutivo woods ,
and of the various minerals found lu Wash
ington will also bo on exhibition.
Seattle is u remarkable place. It differs
from Tacoma much us Kansas City ill ( Tors
from Omaha. Its streets nro narrow , they
lira more or less curved ; they intersect ono
another with llttlo regularity ; but down
town they exhibit a life , activity and magni
tude of business nothing short of surprising.
By the great firu of last June , the whole bus
iness portion of the city , over a mile in length
und from a quarter to half a mile
in width , comprising 1-0 acres along the
shore ot tbo sound , was swept away. The
view of that portion today recalls that Chicago
cage after the great lire. Everywhere over
the burned district t hree.fivo und oven seven-
story buildings of brick , stone and iron are
going up , constructed In the most durable
and ornamental manner , and the founda
tions ofhundreds of others are being laid.
On several down-town blocks , business is
still being carried on In the canvas tents
which wore hastily improvised after the
tiro. The lower story ot many of the grow
ing structures is already utilized , while
workmen uro adding stories above anil fin
ishing oft the roofa. The surprising thing is
tno great number of real estate hrms , whoso
signs ororywhcro meet the eye , along with
these of the cheap restaurant und the Chin-
osolaundrymaii. The city It growing im
mensely beyond Its recent limits. There are
already thrco Hues of cable can In operation
nml one of electrie cars , which penetrate
over the hills In every direction to the coun
try two or thrco miles. Along all these lines
buildings are going up nt n
surprising rate. Ono oablo road runs
along on the top of the bluff to tha
north. The view at every point Is charming
several hundred foot bulow the waters of
the sound skirted on either side with forest-
crowned hills , and alive with the business ot
Its doclis and vessels ; In the distance iho
Olympian mountains rising to a height of
over ono inllo ; while along the road golngup
and down hill Incessantly is a succession of
the most lovely sites for houses and grounds.
The cable road running back to the laltes is
oven more attractive. Going out on one line
the lalto is aeon far below and the cars rush
down the long grade as If to land ono in the
waters that glimmer among the dense growth
of trees with which ttio hills are covered.
Passing along the shore on a lofty bridge
curving over a deep ravine , the way up ttio
hill is by un incline little less than appalling.
For half a mile ono is whirled up au assent
of ruily 35 ° pver a bridge 150 foot In height.
As au Indispensable part of bis experience
ono wlil not neglect to speculate on wbat ,
would occur In cuso of the breaking of the
cable wnich hold * tha cars to the track.
That will happen eome tluia and possibly
omo ooo among the many may live t ? tall
the talo.
Both Tacoma and Scuttle have the tre
mendous problem bofora thorn of paving
their atreots. lit the case of Seattle , this is
a vexed question. The mud Is simply moro
awful than in Tnqptnu , and the Htuepor and
