( Special Tele- Cram. ) Congressman Mercer's bill providing for the donation to the Mate of Nebraska of the ground and buildings at Omaha now oc- cuploJ by Fort Omaha pissed the house this afternoon and now goes to the senate , whcro It will bo pushed energetically by Senators Thtlrxton and Allen Itoprescntatlvo Mercer proved himself not only a ready debater , but ft well equipped parliamentarian Is passing the bill. Although opposed by the leaders of the house , Dlngley , Car.non , Dalzcll nnd Henderson , Mercer's frlendi came to the rescue , and the bill passed with amendments as outlined In The Dec. Congressman Ilalncr assisted his colleague materially In bearing a portion of the cross-examination which came from n dozen reprcscntr.trvos. OUor members could not understand why Tort Omaha was not put on the market and sold , as provided for In the bill appropriating $200,000 for the pur chase of Fort Crook , covering the monuy thus realized Into the treasury , Mr. Mercer Indicated In several well considered speeches tl'at there was a Riavo question as to the title resting In the government after Its nbamlunment fort military purposes , the original donors claiming that the reserva tion should revert to them In such caso. Mercer contended that the government would con tinue to hold whatever title It possessed In the property , If It granted to the state the use of the grounds and buildings for mil itary purposes , reserving the right to reenter - enter at any time. Chairman Hull of the military affairs com- inltlco stated , that the bllll had been con- eldered carefully In committee , nnd the amendments suggested , which covered all doubtful grounds. Then the friends of Mercer rallied to his support nnd the bill was passed. General Mandcrson enld yesterday afternoon that ho felt certain that IV the bill will pass the senate. "Governor Holcomb , " continued Mr. Slanderson , "Is In favor of the bill. If the 1)111 becomes a law a military school can bo maintained at little expense to the state , as many of the Instructors will bo army officers. The buildings are In good repair and can bo Iccpt so without the expenditure of any great sum of money. " The military reservation upon which Fort Onvalm la situated la located In the * northern part of the city , a few blocks off the Sherman nveniio car line , and contains eighty-two and one-lnlf acres of ground. The mains of the city water works system are laid , with con nections at all the buildings. Gas lamps are along all of the streets and avenues , while the post has Its own system of sewerage , which Is drained Into a ravine that extends to the river. On the reservation tbero are forty-one buildings , three of which arc- con structed of brick. The others are frame structures , and are ono nnd. two stories high. They Include the headquarters building , staff offlccn ) ' quarters , field officers' quarters , com pany quarter * , company officers' quarters , bar racks for the enlisted men , besides the com missary and ordnance buildings , most ot which are In good repair. The headquarters building Is situated In the center of a parade ground of forty acres. The parade ground Is surrounded by two rows of largo trees , be tween which there Is a carriage drlvo. On the west fide of the grounds are situated the quarters of the ofllcers , with the barracks on the cast and the south. The guard house and the commissary buildings are at the southeast corner of the grounds. COMPIAINIXO OF AMKUICAN HAM. GermtiiiN Anflert Hint Smnkcil MentM Were Xot of the lloHt. WASHINGTON , Jan. SO.The secretary of ngrlculture Is In receipt through the Depart ment of State of a communication from the United States consul general at Frankfort , Germany , relative to some complaints made of a trichinosis ham purchased In Antwerp , Belgium , Imported by a firm In that city from a Chicago house. It seems from this communication that through the United States consul at Mannheim , where the ham In question had been received , the original United States Inspection label from the box in which It had been Imported was procured. , The label showed simply that the meat had undergone veterinary Inspection , but gave no guarantee microscopic Inspection for ox- port. It affords therefore , no evidence of defective microscopic Inspection , but simply reveals carelessness on the part of the Ger man purchaser In purchasing Antwerp meat not bearing the United States government certificate of microscopic Inspection.

"The recent Increase In the percentage ol exports of manufactured articles as compared with the total of our cxporti seems to Indi cate that the United States Is upon the threshold of a great development of this Im portant branch of International trade , and the conclusion arrived at from the general view of the world's commercial and industrial activity , submitted herewith.

B13Doug Ics SILVER TOOK UP THE TIME Several Senators Talk on the Bond Bill Substitute , IS LIKELY TO LAST THE WEEK OUT Senator Stewart dive * .Notice He Wilt OfTor ii Tree Silver A in v nil in flit to the TnrlfT lllll No Time I'lxcil ( or R Vote. WASHINGTON , Jan. 30. A very animated debate closed the senate session late this afternoon over the question of taking the vote on the pending silver bond bill. It had been expected throughout the day that Mr. Jones of Arkansas , In charge of the measure , would hold the senate In session until a vote was forced. Ho had given uotlo of this purpose and senators wore prepared for It. nut at 4:15 : , when Mr. Vllas secured the floor for a speech , ho yielded for a motion to go Into executive session. Mr. Jor.es explained that It was proposed to take a recess until tomorrow. Ho foil satisfied that a vote could bo taken In the near future. This leJ to much discussion. Mr. Chandler \vas sarcastic at thu abandonment of a plan for a votu. Mr. Stewart declared that It made no difference when a vote was taken , or whether a vote was taken. It as all "dress parade" and "buncombe. " He added a slgnincant statement that the pending silver amendment would bo germane as an amendment to the tariff bill and that when the latter measure came before the senate he wculd offer a sliver amendment to test senators on their choice between sliver and tariff. After lengthy discussion the senate went Into executive session and then took a recess until tomorrow , without any exact understanding as to the vote , although the talk had shown a purpose to secure a vote on Saturday. A bill was passed providing for the ap pointment of a chaplain for the United States Military academy. A committee amendment to the bill was agreed to making the president the appointing power. Mr. Morrlll , republican of Vermont , called up the bill for the payment to the widow of the late Samuel F. Miller , justice of the supreme court , a sum equal to the balance of his salary for the year In which he died. Mr. Morrlll explained that the justice had left only a house , encumbered by $10,000 , and that the widow's clrcumytances were ouch an to make the appropriation desirable. The bill was parsed. The resolution directing the secretary of agriculture to execute the law relative to seed distribution was then taken up , nnd Mr. George , democrat of Mississippi , spoke In defense of the course of the secretary. Mr. Galllnger and Mr. Allen supported the resolution , The resolution gave way to the silver bond bill , and Mr. Call continued his speech begun yesterday. Mr. Mitchell followed In support of the silver substitute. FOREIGN INDEUTEDNESS INCREASED. Mr. Mitchell said the question presented was whether the bonded indebtedness to maintain the gold standard or a greater use of silver restores the metal to Its primary place as money of the constitution. He pointed out that our foreign Indebtedness during the past twenty-five years had greatly Increased , notwithstanding that during that time there was a balance of trade In our favor In merchandise of $1.763,500,000 , be sides silver exports of $380,311,625 , and gold exports of $271,190.721. There were two remedies to be applied : First , our merchant marine must be encouraged and built up and wo must become our own carriers ; second , we must legislate to Increase the value of our export commodities so as to enable us to wipe out the debt which today makes the people of this country virtually slaves to tht money lenders of Great Britain. Ho thought that the only remedies which could protect the people of America from the Inroads of the Orient weie the abandonment of the single gold standard and the establishment of a protective tariff. He was against any gold standard. Mr. Mitchell said ho was In favor of bi metallism , but ho did not believe it could bo brought abiut by an International agree ment. He did not believe that those who were talking of an international agreement expected that such a result was passible. Ho was In favor of Independent bimetallism , as there was no prospect cf an international agreement. He did not believe that Eng land , us long as she could control Germany and other countries , would consent to an In ternational agreement for bimetallism. Mr. Perkins spoke briefly In Bupporf.of the sliver amendment. Ho and other senators favoring the measure had been accused In the metropolitan press of "misrepresenting their constituents , " fcr , It was asserted , Cal ifornia way In favor of the gold standard. Mr. Perkins controverted this assertion. The last republican platform of California had a plank declaring for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Resolutions were passed by the California legislature Instructing the senators from that state to support the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The people of California had made up their minds on this subject , and , knowing the universal feelIng - Ing In his state , the senator eald ho would cast liln vote for the silver amendment , thus executing the instructions given him , even though his personal views Inclined to a more conservative course. Ho would prefer an American policy on the sliver question , first coining the product of American mines. READY TO VOTE FOR FREB COINAGE. Mr. Stewart of Nevada Interrupted with the question : "Will the senator support the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1. Independent of England ? " "yes , I will vole for this measure , " an swered Mr. Perkins , although I do not re gard It entirely expedient at this time. I will respond to the deslro of the people and the state I have the honor In part to rep resent. " Mr. Perkins proceeded to urge the need of a tariff measure adequate to meet the coun try's expenditures and to overcome the deficit. The senator also approved the popular feature of the bond call. Ho pointed out , however , that no city west of the Mississippi river could take bonds without paying the exchange between San Franclreo and Now York , while eastern cities could buy direct of the subtreasurers without paying ex change , Mr. Perkins said It was an unwar ranted discrimination against the west , In strange contrast with the vast contributions of gold made from the mines of California , At 4:15 : , when Mr. Perkins concluded , an animated discussion arose as to taking a vote on the measure. Mr. Vllas took the floor for a speech , but stated that he preferred to go on tomorrow. It was expected that Mr. Jones of Arkan sas , ln clmrgo of the bill , would Insist on proceeding , but lie Mid ho would yield tar an executive session. "H'o added"I do this being ratlsflpd from 'ttnveridnR with cn tor * , tint there will bo no difficulty In get ling a vote on the bin In the very nea future. " ' " "Has the senator abandoned his proscn plan ? " asked Mr. Chandler. "We had un dcrstood that he north ! Insist on proceeding Will the senator Indlehio his purposes ! " Mr. Jones explained ( hat he considered I desirable to take a , recess until noon to morrow and then 'go on with the * usin morning hour. "Does the senator expect to vote tomor row ? " asked Mr. Chandler. "Tomorrow or the next day , " replied Mr Jones. ' ' ' "Dut will the senator from New York ( Hill consent that a vote betaken then ? " NOT COMMITTING HIMSELF. Mr. Hill smilingly suggested that ho was 'not Just then being polled. Mr. Chandler proceeded to explain tha ho was ready fcr a Vote and ttould gladly assent to any new arrangement It the dls tlnct consent of senators could bo secured If the present plan of a vote was to be abandoned , then some definite new plan should bo offered , Jones answered with spirit that the bll had not been abandoned. Ho had merely adopted what ho considered the most cxpcdl tlous plan. At this point Mr. Morrlll announced that he desired to speak on the bill for about forty minutes on Saturday. This necessitated a further rearrangement of plans. Mr. Jones courteously suggested that ho would certainly shape his plans to affon Morrlll every facility for speaking on the day desired. "Then It appears that It Is not oxpsctet a vote will bo taken tomorrow , " Interjectei Mr. Chandler , for the ssnalor ( Jones ) woult not grant this courtesy to the senator from Vermont , ( Morrlll ) , on Saturday after voting on the bill on Friday. " Mr. Stewart of Nevada suggested that I was perfectly apparent no vote could betaken taken this week. It would bo better , he said , to arrange for a vote ejrly next week Mr. Jones dissented from this , siylng ho felt satisfied a vote could bo reached 01 Saturday. Mr. Harris urged that a receso bo taken until tomorrow at 12 and tbon a recess untl 10 a. m. , Saturday , \vlth an agreement to vote at 12 on Saturday. He said there were reasons why Mr. Jones should bo rcllovei from the direction of this bill In order to meet an urgent personal engagement out o ; the city. Mr. Chandler remarked that ho did not wish to be put In the position of hastening action on "this pernicious amendment to an Important bill , " nor did he desire to have ac tion unduly delayed. He suggested proceed ing under the five minute rule , excepting the speech of Mr. Morrlll , voting on Saturday. This brought forward Mr. Stewart for a verj sharp and at times amusing colloquy with Mr. Chandler. WILL AMEND THE TARIFF BILL. "This whole thing Is dress parade. " as serted Mr. Stewart. "It makes no difference when the vote Is taken , or whether It Is taken at all. Every one lir.ows that this silver bill will not bscomo a law. I know It. and I will make no speecn on It. It Is all dress parade and making records. IJut , " proceeded Mr. Stewart , "this amendment will be germane as an'amendment to the tarlft bill , and when that comes up I will have something to say. I , wlll want to see than what senators will put tariff above silver , or silver above tariff. " ' ' Mr. Chandler sarcastically asked why this drass parade was not Abandoned and other Important business taken up. "Why not. " he asked , "order oft the dress parade sol diers ? " * - "The senator ( Chandler ) knows well , " said Mr. Stewart , "that there Is no purpose of making this measure- Idw. It Is all sham. " "But , " Interposed ( Mr. Chandler , "the sena tor should not assunio to state to know. " "I beg the senator's pardon , " responded Mr. Stewart , "for assuming that the senator knows anything on any , subject. " Mr. Stewart proceeded to charge that the repub lican senators had 'the samp views as Mr. Cleveland. They wqre bpth for bonds. This bond bill , he said , was intended to deceive. Its only pmpose was to enders ? the presi dent's bond policy. Ho > also arraigned the emergency tariff bill as .a "bunco measure" which was not Intended io pass. After further dcBiiltbry talk Mr. Chandler withdrew his suggestion of a flve-mlnute de bate , with the distinct understanding , ho said , that on Saturda'y an earnest effort would be nude to secure a vote on the bill. Thefe was a momentary lull and the presid. Ing ofilcer , Mr. Frye , put the question of going into executive session , and It prevailed. Soon theteaftcr , at 5:50 : , the senate took a rrcess until 12 tomorrow. IJKTHOIT AFTIilll A HIGH 1I11IUGH. Will He Unlit to Acuoiiniiixlnto ( lie Vniiilorbilt Sj-Mli'in. WASHINGTON , Jan. 30. The proposition to build a bridgeacroaa the Detroit river at Detroit , Mich. , was the subject of a hear ing before the senate committee on com merce today. A large delegation of prom inent citizens of Detroit and the state at largo were present. Including Governor Rich , Hon. Don. M. Dickinson , General Alger and Mayor Plngree , besides the representatives of the railroad and navigation interests. The bill authorizing the bridge contem plates a structure sultlclcntly elevated to permit the tallest masts to pass under It. It is to bo built by the Michigan Central Brldgo company for the accommodation of the Vanderbllt railroad system and Is to cost about $1.000,000. Attorney Henry Russsll made the argu ment for the railroad and bridge company. Mr. Russoll's contention was that the bridge would facilitate commercial Intercourse. It appeared that the proposition was an tagonized by the navigation Interests , not of Detroit alone , but cf the entire lake sec tion of the country. The principal opposi tion Is directed at the piers which are to be built In the river , which , It is contended , would materially obstiuct the water traffic , This view was presented by Attorney Goul- der , who appeared for the Lake Carriers association , President Brown and Secretary Keep of this association also being present.

In response to this the president said ho was very glad to have the opportunity to meet those hav ing such Important Interests In charge. Ho wanted to acknowledge the bene fit for American people such associations bad accomplished , and said the day would come when the people would appreciate every thing they had dona ( to Increase the Im portance of this great nation.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 30. ( Special Tele gram. ) John C. Coombs of Boston , repre sentative cf many wealthy banking Institu tions , occupied the time of the house com- mlttco on IMclflc railroads In showing how the Union Pacific and Chicago & Northwest ern had formed an unholy alliance to the det riment of a large section of the northwest and southwest. Ho recited Union Pacific his tory In a manner that commanded atten tion , and outlined a relic mo of buildIng - Ing a line of road from Sioux City to North Platte , as contemplated In 1SG2 , He spoke of the monopoly founded by the Union Paclflc- Chlcago & Northwestern , and how the two big cities had been erected through treachery , Omaha and Kansas City. * Ho graphically pic tured the joy the people of Nebraska would have over a route to Duluth via Sioux City , and the appreciation of watcr-borno rates , to the Atlantic seaboard. Ho stated that the road could bo built by congress passing a bill , providing that the moneys now In the United States sinking fund bo changed as to the tvcurltlcs In which they may now be Invested to have the proposed Sioux City road added to the list of securities constituting the sinking fund , and that the additional security be llrst mortgage bands of this road from Sioux City to North Platte. This , ho said , would build the rend , and the security would bo gilt-edged. Ho asked , fur ther , that the Interstate Commerce commis sion bo empowered to Issue and enforce reg ulations sufllclcnt to Insure full and fair con nections and exchange of traffic at North Platte with the Union Pacific , and to nee that the now line gets Us distributive share ef unconslgned traffic bound for the head of the lake ? and eastern points that comes to North Platte over the Union Pacific.

Representative Money of Mississippi , the senator-elect from that state , hag recently received advices from Cuba which arc of considerable Inter est. According to the statements ot Mr. Money's Informant , the devastation of the leland has been carried to such nn extent that poverty , famine o'nd widespread suf fering will surely prevail in the near future unless by some mans the hostilities arc brought to a close. he writer says the crops of this season have been practically destroyed throughout most of the Island , the cano mills stopped , bridges burned , roads torn up and business almost entirely killed for the time. In the province of Santa Clara , where 225,000 sacks of sugar were ground last year , no wheels have been turning this season , for to start a milt Is to give a signal to the Insurgents to blow It up. The Inevitable result of the continu ance of the war , says the writer , will be a famine throughout the farming districts of Cuba. The United States , being the nearest powerful neighbor ot the Island , and hav ing always responded to calls from suffering countries , will naturally be looked to to fur nish assistance and relief. Mr. Money Is a member of the house com mittee on foreign affairs and has taken palm to secure the most reliable Information from responsible parties in Cuba. The tenor of his correspondence Is that Spain will aever bo able to conquer the revolutionists and that the continuance of the war will Involve more loss of life and the Impoverishment of both Spain and Cuba. A recent letter says the rainy season will begin In about three months and the poorly fed and unaccllmated youths who compose most of the Spanish regiments may be ex pected to dlo like sheep. The Spanish troops will be unable to execute any military oper ations then , for there are few * roads and the forests and oven the cano fields are Impassable to people unused to the country. Th9 letter says many Spanish residents of the island and nil the Cubans support the Insurrection. The Spaniards deslra some forx of autonomy and the Cubans want oftaolute Independence or annexation to the United States. Most ot the holders of largo properties are said to favor annexation , be- causj they bellbve that greater protection to property would be secured under the control of the United States than under a native republic.

No decision In tha matter of censuring Ambmssrlcr Bayard was attained today by the house committee on foreign nffnlrs , but thedlsciiM On upon the question which absorbed the entire hour was one of the most Interesting which that committee had Indulged In for a long time. The members were pracllcilly opposed olonn party lines , as these dispatches yostcrd.iy predicted that they would be , the republicans urging a resolution of cansurc and the demo crats Minding by the ambassudor. The sub committee , consisting of Messrs. Draper of Massachusetts , Pearson of North Cirolltn and Dlnsmnrn of Arkansas , which had been charged with the settlement of the matter , reported It had been unable to agree upon the form ot a rcmlntlon. It In Id before the full committee five drafts ot resolutions which had been submitted by member ! * of the committee. There wasa wide range of dif ference between the resolutions. The most indlcal of them denounced In strong terms the IMInburgh and Boston speeches and called upon the president to recall the nm- biupador. The most mild , on the other hand , did not mention the utterances of Mr , Bay ard , but simply expressed general disap proval of the practice of making speeches on home politics by any foreign rcpresPiita- tlvo of the United States In tlio countries to which they are accredited. The three other resolutions covered the range between these two extremes. Mr. McCreary of Kentucky made a motion to Iiicrearc the subcommittee from three to flvo members. No action had boon taken upon this motion or on the main question when the hour of noon arrived and Mr. McCic.iry brought about nn udjournment , as the foreign affairs committee has not leave to meet while the house Is In session. The discussion Is said by members of the com mittee to have been much warmer than usually characterizes Its sessions. Mr. Pear son suggested to the committee n reso lution which consurrd the ambassador very strongly. Mr. New lands ot Nevada proposed to amend this by asking the president to recall the ambassador. Mr. McCreary and Mr. Money ot Mississippi , both democrats , Uok the principal parts of the discussion. Their chief argument was that the matter was ono for action by the president , if any any steps were to be taken to censure Mr. Dayard , and that the house would be en croaching upon the prerogatives of tlio presi dent If it adopted nny of the resolutions naming the ambassador. Mr. Pearson re marked that the president had not hesi tated to encroach upon the prerogatives of congress nnd even to refer In terms of censure to some of Its legislation. U Is trtio that Mr. Cousins of Iowa lus prepared a resolution which calls Mr. Ilayard by name and censures him , which meets tlio approval of a majority of the republican members oC the committee. Chairman Hltt Is said to fnvor a milder form of censure than most of his party col leagues on the committee desire. The demo- ciats are not disposed to agrco to any more radical expression than a general statement that American representatives abroad should not utter reflections upon the people of tlio United States. In the meeting Mr. Money and other democrats expressed disapproval' ' of Mr. Bayard's speeches , but argued that the house had no jurisdiction In the care. After the meeting the commlttccmcn con ferred with their party colleagues on the floor to secure the consensus of party opin ion on the form of a resolution most appro priate. The matter Is assuming the form of a partisan contest. XATIONAli UOAHI1 OF TKADIj. Sciiiln GroctliiRN of I'oiicc' mill Good Will to KiiKlniul. WASHINGTON , Jan. 30. The National Doard ot Trade at Its closing session today by an unanimous rising vote directed the president of the board to send the following peace * sentiment to the Associated Chambers of Commerce , London. England : "The National Board of Trade of the United States , assembled in annual meeting at Wash ington , sends greetings to the Asiociated Chambers of Commerce of Great Britain , reciprocating all the kindly sentiments ut tered by English commercial bodies and ex presses the earnest wish that commerce and religion , representing the great progressive and civilizing forces of the world , may honor ably avert collision between the English speaking nations , who , more than any other , represent the sentiments 'Peace on earth , good will to man. ' " The commltteo on railroad transportation made a report which was approved by the national board , deprecating all movements looking to the government owner. lilp ot rail way lines , but strenuously advocates a wlsu , firm and continuous supervision over the operation and management of these great agencies In all matters affecting their rela tions with the public In the conduct of Inter state co-mmerce. It was also resolved that in the judgment of this board the bonded Indebtedness of the Pacific railroads to the government should be extended on the be.'t terms practicable , and recommend the passage of the Smith house bill No. 3,4 [ > 9 , now pending In congress.

A resolution was adopted recommending to congrcEvi the enactment of a law punishing by a fine of not more- than 11,000 and Imprison ment any employe of the Agricultural de partment who shall disclose In any way the probable natureof any crop report bcforo general publication. A resolution was adopted by a majority vote endorsing the action of the president In extending the scope of the civil sorvlce laws. The minority vote on the resolution was di rected solely against mentioning the presi dent of the United States in this connection. It Vias also resolved that the Department of State IK urged so to amend the executive order of September 20 , 1S95 ( relating to ex aminations of consuls ) , that It shall provide for competitive examination by n board con sisting in part at least of members of the National Civil Service commission. It was also recommended that congress authorize the president to appoint a commission to make a complete examination of our cntlro consular syutem and laws to the end that any further legislation by congress on the subject shall be based upon ample informa tion and observation. It war. also resolved that the National Board of Trade earnestly urge upon congress the wUdom ot appointing a commission to report ofllclully upon the effect of the liquor truIHc upon the business Interests of the country. The board by resolution approved legisla tion against food adulterations. Iiiillau Appropriation Hill 1 toady. WASHINGTON , Jan. 3IJ.
