W. WAShINGTON , Feb. 25. An effort was recently made to have a ngbt ! . ; slan of the senate fer the purpose of passing - Ing a bill authorizing an Isio of ends for the District of ColumbIa to the amount of I $7,000,000. Senator Allen of Nebraska objected - ' jected , and spoke a follows : F . "ThIs queston was before the senate only a ' . few days ago , nn(1 It was decided Illvcrely to the Issuance of tim bonds. Why there should be a persIstent effort , In view of the present financIal conl1ton of the country , to Issue $7t00OOO of Inlerest.bearlng obligations for this govermen to pay I 10 not under- t stand. "Mr. President , this country Is undergoing the throes of an Industrial depression the equal of which we have never known. There I universal distress throughout the length and breadth of the lanll. There Is a uni- versal cry on the part of the people for re- hot from our Present financial condition ; and let within the last four weeks , there have been Introduced In this chamber alone , I think I can say In round numbers fully one dozer bills. all calling for the issuance of bonds The President has told us that wo should authorize : the secretary of the lreas- ur1 (0 Issue bonls ; lie secretory of the treas- . . ur himself has called upon congress to authorize him to Issue bonus. "f see no reason why the ( Is1rlcl of Colum- bia ahouhl be made a pet In this Instance ; I see no reason why the taxpayers whose properly Is to be benefited hy these Improve- ments should nol thcmselves pay for the fmprovements. A spirit has grown UII here , I do nol know how long It has existed , but It " ' seems to be almost unh' rsal-that It Is the duly of this government to Improve the city \'ashihngton . and improve the District of Columbia outside of this city. I know of no nero reason why the taxpayers of the United States should Improve the city Washington thou that lucy should Improve the city of Deuuver Colo. . In which my distinguished friend ( : fr. Wolot ) r sldes. I know of no more reason why money should be taken from the treasury of the United Stales for the IIvement of streets and the laying of sewer and water mains In the city Washlnglon G ; ' enl In the District of Columbia than It should ! , bo taken for the same purpose to construct like Imllrovemenl II the town In which I reside. " WHO OWNS TiE TOWN ? ! r. ll-Wi the senator allow me lu Interrupt him a moment ' -t ! r. Allen-Certainly. Mr. 11111-Is there not thIs difference . that , , the goverment owns the District of Columbia ' and owns the streets , but does not own his town ? Mr. Allen-Mr. President that 19 i nominally , true ; but the government does own my town In the sense that It taxes the people of lY town. The farmer In Nebraska the artisan In my little viage , pay the taxes which are expended to Improve this city ; , they are cit'zens ' ef the United States . bearing of the burdens and obligations their full share anl oblgatons 4 , , . . ef the government and If this city Is to be the recipient or I gratuity at the hands.cf the governnttnt , for the Improvement ef territory - ritor lying outside the city limits , why should It not g beyond the District of Columbia and be extended Into ether sec- tons of the country ? . ttl Mr. Hi-Wi the aenlor allow me again ? \i . . Mr. AlenwCertalnly. - Mr. Hill-I smply ! suggest to the senator , that lhe very Ilolnt 10 whch ! ho Is calling the attention of the anate now Is what Is pro- posed 10 be discussed this evening , If he will give the senate an opportunity to 10 It. u : ' ! r. GeorgeI desire to suggest to the p senator from New York , If the senator from - . Nebraska wi allow me , that he labors under a very serious error when be says the government of the United States owns the Dlstrct ! of Columba. ! The government owns , but a very email portion ! of the district. Mr. Harris-If the senator will allow me upon the very point he has suggested 1 will ey that within the limits of the city of Washington the gov- ermen owns more than half , and outside of the city limits , In the county. the United States owns much very valuable property. In the county the asseS value of such government property outside .of the . two cities Is a3 follows : Agricultural lands , $5,296,889 : nonagrIcultural lands , $4r03,696 , aggregating $ 9,800,6S I outsIde of the city limits and In time counly. Mr. Alien-I have heard that argument use here repeatedly. Mr. Harris-It Is nol merely an argument , but It Is a fact. Mr . Allen-It Is a stock argument upon the part of 1U residents of the city of Wash- Ington ; It Is a slack argument upon the part of those senators and members of the house of representatives who believe In expending largo sums of money In this city. There Is not a city In the United States outside of Washington , lint would not be glad to pay the ejitiri' tax of the municipality I the scat of govlrmenl were located there. I , the United States will place its capital at the city of Omaha In my state which Is a city fully as large as this , a city 'of great commercial - mercial Importance and great financial resources - sources , and within 100 miles of the geographical - graphical center or the United Stales I will guarantee that the people of th'nt city and the pCQple of the slate of Nebraska will be willing 10 pay every particle of taxation that may be levied upln the property of that city and not ask the government for one nickel. nlckll.DO DO NOT DOND IN ADVANCE. No Mr. l'realdent with all due respect for the peollle of the city or Washington amid the District of Columbia there have gath. I ered within the precincts of this capital city a certain class of People wtlO believe It to be perfectly legitimate to take every hard- ; earned dolar of the taxpayers of the United I ; States out of the treaslry they can get for the purpose of building UII their own prop- arty , beautifying the city , and enhancing the value of their holdings here. I have no ob- jecton to appropriating every dolar that may be necessary to legitimately Improve this city . I do not propose to be parsimonious - I ous In this respect : but leI us take the money from the treasury IS It may be needed , and nat Issue Intoresl.bearlng obli- gatons to rest on anti burden the people of this country for several years yet to como. I was speaking when interrupted by the distinguished seAator from New York ( Mr. Hi ) , of the fact that we seemum to have become bond crazy. Everything looks toward the issuance - suance of bonds ThE president wants bonds , the secretary at the treasury want bonds , senators upon both side of hula ( chamber want bonds Perhal)3 a hal dozen propsi- tons have come from the republican side within the last four weeks looking 10 givinG the secretary of the treasury unlimited au. thorly to issue bonds. An equal number has como freer : this side of the chamber I am pleased , however 10 note that nol one or those ProPositions has emanated from I pop- ulst In this chamber The time has come when we must retrace our steps financially ; hue ( hue has come when " must cease the Issuance of bonds . We leave la the treasury today millions of dol- ! lars' worth at silver bullion , which the sec- rtary of the treasury lisa ample 'uthorly to coin Into mane and pay out for the current expenses ot the government. lie dos not deny that this authorIty I. conferred upon him In express language by existing stalutes. There Is no Ilrelenso among senator upon upn either side of the chamber thaI the secretary of ( lie treasury dos not Possess ailplo CU- ) thorly 10 coin the aelgnlorage , amounting to $55,000,00. and yet the secretary of the trees. ury doggedly and persistently and without reason refuses to do 10. I shall not by lY vote or by my \010 In this chamber confer upon him authority to issue the Interest. bearing obligations of this government . Sir today every bnd that has been Issued b the secretary of the treasury f absolutely 1ul and void , There I. not a provision upon upn .lle , the statute bn any more conferring authority - . - thoriy upon bins to issue tbo bonds of thll - - - - government than there Is conferring upon me lIke authority . The act of July 14 , 1875. Is rlpelel ; It Is a deal ) letter ; and It Is a mere pretense and usurpation of authority on his part 10 issue obligations under that acl. Enry bond , If its legality were contested In a court , would be held to be voId. EXTENDNG TiE TIME FOR PAYMENT.

GORMAN SURPRISES TiE SENATE. The appropriation of $70,000 for a public building at Annapolis , Md. , was struck out on motion of Mr. Qorman There had been some Indirect critIcism as to Including Annapolis with Cheyenne , Boise City and Helena and Mr. Gorman created some sur- prise by cuttIng off the committee by a personal request to omit Annapolis. Mr. Gorman said he would say to the senate that seven or eIght years ago a bill passed both houses of congress for a public building al Annapolis , but It was killed by a pocket veto and he did not wish to place In an approprIation bill a measure which time president dId not wish to approve In a separate bill. Mr. Kyle , populist of South Dakota secured an amendment for a public building at I'Ierre S. n. Mr. Wilson . republican ot Washington also secured $20,000 for 1 public bulling at Olympia. Wash. At this point several senate pages struggled In with an enormous floral horseshoe which was placed on the desk of Mr. Ransom , nominated and confirmed on " Saturday as minister to Mexico.

Ho thought the old lawyers In the Depart- ment or Justice alongsIde would nol be In- jure by a thenter and he dId not believe In the sentImentalIty that the white house would b hurt by the proximity of a theater. Mr. Palmer made a pint 'of order against the amendment. Pending discussion , the vote on the joint resolution suspending certain operations through the tree zone between the United States and Mexico was reconsidered Ind the resolution was sent back to the conumnittee. A letter was read from the theater man- agers protesting against the government purchase - chase of time Dalno properly atd the cense quent Interference with theater contracts Mr. hale opposed the George 'lnendmenh , urging thaI Mrs. Plaice was not seklng thIs purchase by the government.

The value and title of time Dalne properly was discussed through the afternoon , at tImes becoming very animated. I was stated that experts lied examinee the property , placing the value at $16.000. Mr. Lindsay Mm Vest and others urged that II was worth much less , In view of the outstanding cloud on the title. Mr. Vest's amendment requiring Mrs. Blame to give a "feo simple title" was defeated by a tie vote. Mm . White proposed a substitute provldlnK for time condemnaton of time Dalne property Instead of purchasing It. Mr. hale urged the Injustce of such action against Mrs. Blame.

Feb. 26.-The arrangement for dispensing with the reading of the senate journal and crowding all the usual morning business aside for the appropriation bills to- day was something of a surprise to all but time few senatori Who were In their seats when their order was made. This program was arranged on the democratic side by Senator Cockrfl out ! on the republican by Senator Piatt , and was done upon tile sug- geston of the latter because of the Importance - portance of the appropriation bIlls and the miecessity. as he consllerel I , of securing all the time possible for them to the exclusion of all olher business lie found Senator Ccltrel quite as anxious as himself In be- hal of the appropriation bills. There were not to exceed twenty senators In the chamber and It required but a few hurried conferences on both sides of time chnmher to secure their assent to time scheme . As a consequence the senate plunged Immediately - mediately Into the appropriation hula and ) vas well under way when the senators ar- rived who might have had other business to presenl In the morning hour.

The amelllmenl carried In commitee , but was defeated In time house by a vote of 12 to 143. Some exclemenl was caused by the attempt - tempt to strike out In the house the appropri- aton for an extra month's salary for the em- plo'es of time house and senate and the clerics of members , but II faIled . and time amendment prevaIled by a vote of 13 to 108. Motions to reconsider and recommit were voted down as prompty as offered untIl the opposition dwindled 10 a point where I could not get the yeas and nays. I tben sur- rendered and the bill was issed Dls were passed for the relief of James Pimelarm for the relief of Michael Ryan , for time relief of Maria S. Priest , to construct a bridge acres the Illinois river at Henneilln , to ntl- point Gnrdner D. Hubbad Washington on the Board of Hegents of the Smlthson'n In- stlttittcn . to authorize the erection of a bronze statue of Prof. Samuel D. Cross In the cemetery - tory of Washington. The senate amendments to the Indlnn appropriaton bill were non- concurred In and the bill was sent to canfer- ence. ence.Dy arrangement Thursday WS set acMe for District of Columbia business and the housn then vent Into committee of the wile and resumed the consideration of the gnerai deficiency bill. The pending amendment was to PY $17.610 10 Charles Morgan C. D. Payne and the Southern Steamship company for extra com- penston as mal contractors before the war. Mr. Docllery raised n IOlnt of order ngalnsl the amendment. The committee rose temllo- manly to agree to a partial conference report to the ' District of Columbia appropriaton bill and send II to further conterence after Milch the chair sustained the point of order. The nmendment to pay Great Britain $425- 000. the amount or the awards made by the ParIs Bering sea tribunal against the United States , precipitated quite a long dehate. Mr. Drecdnrldge ] of Kentucky , In charge of the bill , explained the details of the Paris arbi- traton and the decision against time justice and the legality of the seizures the United States hd made In the Bering sea. Great .rltaln , through Sir Julan l'aunceole , had demanded $500,000. and Secretary Gresham had alreed to $26,000 , The Iovernmcnl In honorand - : falrness-should-a ; ept tlej judgment - mont and jiay the damages. ' 'OBJECTED TO . THE PRINCIPLE. ' : s s lr : Cannon of Illinois said he cared little about the sum Involved-whether we were cheated or not-so long ns time damages were assessed according to well estblshed principles - ciples of law. The fatal defect In the judg- mnt of the Paris trIbunal was the fact that the citizenship of the claimants had never been passed upon. Mr. henderson of Iowa analyzed the statement - ment of ex-Secretary Foster to the effect that $81.000 represented the maximum damages that could justly bo assessed agaInst the United States , and that ten of tbD vessels seized were owned , la whole or In part b ) Anmericans and therefor were excluded. Mr. Hilt attacked the amendment vigor- ously. Of the $26.000 claImed , positive tes- tmony showed that $60,00 was owned by cltzenJ of the United States. Hosltwlz , he claimed owned almost all the fet , and had sent It out to Bering sea to lay the founda- ton of 1 scunlrely and fraudulent claim. I looked to him , Mr. Iltt said , as If the State department were making a desperate struggle 'to maintain th . parity between claims and payments. After some furlher debate by Mr. Hooker Gf Mississippi In ( favor of time anemclrnemit Mr. Drecltnrldgo closed with time declaration that the c000cptlon and history of time Paris arbitration - bitraton was an unfortunate chapter In our diplomacy. and Its . result a complete fiasc9. Yet wo must keep- our fallh and pay the award. The vote was then taken and the amend- merit was carried , 94 to S6. Mr. CannOn gave notice that he woull tic- mad a yea alul nay vote In the housc' . On motion of ! r , Dnum of Indkmn . , without - out debate , an amendmenl was adopted dl- reelng the speaker to certify and time ser- gent.al-arms to pay repreecmmtatlvca' salaries withheld on account of absence. This concluded the consideraton of the bill In committee' and It was reported to the house. ! r. Cannon demanded a roil cll on time amen ment to pay the BerIng sea award , and It was lost , 12 to 13. I Mr Snyrs then demanded time yeas antI , nays on the amendment to pay the employes I or the house and senate and the Individual . clerks and members an extra monlh's salary This amendment had been carried In COl- mlteo , ! : to 61.
