\VASUINOTON , D. C. , March 11. Senator
atowartof Nevada today offered a joint resolu
tion proposing n sixteenth amondinont to ths
constitution , which states that "after
18J7 no person who has held the
-nffllco of president for four yoorj , or
nny part thereof , shall bo eligible
to thnt ofllco within four years nftor the ox-
plratlon of such term. " The resolution ,
which was referred to the commlttco on
civil service reform , further provides that
the amendment , shall not take effect until
otter March 4 , 1897.
Speaking of the resolution , Senator blow-
nrtkald : "Tho object of the advocates of
civil service reform , as I understand It , is to
remove from the administration of ofllco po
litical considerations. It Is dinicult to un
derstand how this can bo accomplished by
placing the appointment of clerks and others
under the control of a civil service board ,
while the presidential ofllco , In whloh the np-
volutlng power Is lodged , may bo used for
eilinuing : in ofllco the incumbent who over
lie may bo. "

WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 11. The tariff
fcjllscussion In the house today was moro than
f ( Jaually interesting , and there were several
IVvely passages which forcibly reminded one
of the florco political scenes of past con
gresses when this all-absorbing Issue was tc
the front. Tbo speeches today on both sldoi
of the houio were well for tilled nnd listened
to with n great deal of attention hy members ,
The somewhat unique spootaclo of the largos !
individual woolen manufacturer In tin
United States arguing In favor of the fro <
wool bill was presented when Mr. Slovens
of Massachusetts , a member of tlio ways ant
moans commlttco , took the floor in supper
of the Springer bill , and the democrats pale
close attention to his remarks and grootci
his arguments with applause. No loss flat
turing was the attention paid by all the mom
bars of the house to the next speaker , Hep
resentatlvo Montgomery of Kentucky.
T. II. Brooksblro of Indiana took oocasior
in the cour.so of his remnrus to denounce tin
so-called reciprocity schcmo of tbo repub
llcan party as u delusion and a snare.

Representative Hay of Now York , th
chief republican orator of the day , succoedoi
in provoking moro than usual partisan strife
and It looked for u tlmo as though his alter
oatlon with Representative Meredith of Vii
jffula might surpass parliamentary bounds.
/ Among the petitions presented In th
* house were memorials urging congres
to pass a law to prevent the landln
of criminals nnd pauper immigrants
to rovlso tbo naturalization laws and to sub
niit n constitutional amendments provldini
that no state shall grant the rlght.of kulfrag
to any person not a oltlzon of the Uuitoi
States.
The house wont into committee of tin
whole on the free wool bill am
was addressed by Mr. Steven
of Massachusetts. Mr. Stevens read fron
manuscript , but In so lotv a voice that h
could not bo board ten feet awuj
Ho believed the pending hi
would bonollt alike the manufacture
of woollen goods and the great muss ot th
American people who consumed them. Th
abolition ot the duty on wool did not men
necessarily a smaller demand or lower price
for American wool It meant both America
wool and foreign could ho used to the bs :
advantages for the purposes to whloh oac
was host adapted.
Mr. Montgomery of Kentucky then teethe
the floor and spouo In support of the bill.
Attacked Itcdprocity.
Mr. Montgomery having concluded h
speech , ho was followed by Mr. Brcokshli
o&indlana.
BJr. Brooksnlro sold that Mr. Blalnc's s
called reciprocity scheme and the lax upc
raw wools were the two most eminent fa
x by which the protective system wi
to bo maintained. Ho made a sur
\ jf tbo agricultural exports of this coui
t'\ . Jr the purpose of suggesting to 01
farmers to what countries those oxpor
were aestlnod. It was not the agrlcultur
products thut the people of South Amorii
wauled. In the main they wanted manufa
turcd goods. Reciprocity scorned to I
tha slocun nf tbo republican parly. In h
Judgment the whole scheme of roelproci
was a snare nnd a delusion and fell far she
of developing necessary markets for the su
plus of agriculture , Jt was but an artf
contrivance for tba people , In the most si
ifbh , oppressive and unjust system of tax
tion over fastened on a free , loyal and sol
respecting pcoplo.

lieved tno number of killed will not bo less

The rumor that the Belgian government Is
about to propose an International conference
for putting down anarchism is totally untrue ,
although Germany would bo glad to do
something of tbo sort covertly through the

It has been ascertained that the foot and

bers or thn House o | Common * .
LONDON , March 11. Tha question of the
defenses of the ports of Esquimau ! * , in Vau-
couvor Island \yat r.ilsod in the House of
Commons yesterday and was discussed with
heat by Lord George Francis Hamilton , llrst
lord of the admiralty and several liberal In-
lerrogalos. Hardly had this breeze died out
when the Boring sea controversy was
brought before the house by the question
addressed by Elward Tomporly Gourloy , the
advanced llocral member from Sundorland ,
and answered for the government by under
secretary of foreign ofllco Lowther.
Mr. Ferguson , member from Loith , led off
by asking these questions of the llrst lord of
tbo admiralty : Uoos the slto of the navy
yard at Esquimault belong to Canada or tbo
crown } Wll the work of Improving Ibo'de-
fonses of the harbor , including plans , engi
neering nnd coustiuction , bo done by Iho
Canadian government or the crown 1 Are
any advantages secured to her majesty's ves
sels at Esquimault harbor thai are nol
accorded ihcin in such porls as the United
States , Franco or other civilized uatloiih ?
If Iho garrison bo put under eruow of the
Canadian government , will the homo gov
ernment have any moans of assurance of
the support of thu same for her majesty's
fleet in tlmo of war ? If , as has heon sug-
gculcd , Canada should decide lo cast her lot
with the United States and oecomo incor
porated wilh Ibat country , would she carry
with her the guns and other portable equip
ments of the fortifications )
The interrogatories were delivered amid a
storm of exclamations and ramonstrunces.lhc
last being put In such a way as to supgost
that in litno of wiir the imperial government
could not rol/upon the loyally of Iho do
minion. Tbo impression was lhal tilt
speaker intended to' say that Canada had
ilriftod too far towards iho Untied States to
bo trusted to cooperate with the mother
country in case of iroublo wilh the Ameri
can Bovernmcnt.
Lord Hamilton said ; "Tho slto of ino
n ivy yard at Esquimault belongs to the
crown , and Ihe Canadian government lias
reserved for her majesty's ships exclusively ,
a part of the harbor. The Canadian govern
ment will provide the bite for Iho forliflca-
tlons a dtno euns , and will bn responsible
for Ibo manning of tlioni. The honorable
genlloman's other question seems lo have
been put with the otjjoct of causing the In-
fornnco that in tlmo of Iroublo or danger ,
Canada will not ho ready to co-opornlo with
Ibo homo government. I decline to un.iwor
these hypothetical questions which arc
prompted by suppositions at once injudicious
and dangerous.1'
Mr. Ferguson Jumped up asking : "I beg
tbo first lord of admiralty to answer mj
inquiry wheiher in the event of Canada sepa
rating herself from her majesty's erapiro , the
guns , stores , ammunition and fortifications
will belong tO the imperial governmentf"
The liouro was In a hubbub when Mr. Ferguson
guson sat down , and rang with the cries ol
' don't answer. " Lord Hamilton made no
roply.

itlos , however , doipito their efforts to flue

could possibly put to work , were forced ti
turn away hundreds of tbo clamoring work
rneu , Those- who fallen to obtuln employ
