Ho pronounced the present discussion as a

Senator Pclllgrow , by resolution today ,
seeks to have1 the government take charge
ot the Union Pacific railway and Kansas
Pacific railway by Issuing and selling nt not
less than par coupon or registered bonds
of the United States In nmount sumclent
c to pay the floating debt of said companbs ,
" take up the bonds and stocks pledged as
security , bearing not to exceed 3 per cent
Interest payable seml-annually.
This proposition to pay at par not rmly
the first mortgage bonds , but all collateral
trust bondn of the Union Pacific for which
stocks and securities stand pledged , would
bo a godpond to the holders of the same ,
Pacific railroads committee
did a member of the
mittee , "and nil parties Interested In the

stockholders , would undoubtedly ho de
lighted to get their claims In full and leave
the government nothing to realize on
except the mere right of foreclosure. If tlio
government wishes to take the property
it can do It much more cheaply by simply
proceeding to exercise the right of entry
reserved In the original net of congress ,
and then It could proceed to foreclosure
hy separate suit or by proceeding In trio
pending suit , and realize whatever It could
( it the end of foreclosure , without putting
up BO many millions In advance. "

WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. Being a ked as
to the cl.argo made In the senate this after
noon by Senator Vest that the secretary of
agriculture had distributed 150,000 more pack
ages of * ecd In Nebraska than that state was
entitled to last year , Secretary Morton said :
"Under the law , cnc-lhlrd of all the seed
purchased was to bo distributed by the rccrc.
tary of agriculture. In accordance with that
provision rome jcars ago , when thcro was
great suffering along the 's.t Islands ot the
Carolina coast , the secretary of agriculture ,
through Clara Barton and the Red Cross ,
gave n great portion of the one-third which
he wes authorized to distribute to the people
whofa fields and gardens had been ruined
by the tidal wave. As to that very large
distribution of seed * to those southern euf-
fcrerg , no complaint was made. Therefore ,
during the recent seasons ot extreme drouth
In the northwest , ihe secretary of agriculture
frankly confesses that he gave far more than
the normal quota of seel to Nebraska , Kan
sas and each of the Hakotas and to Oklahoma.
The representatives and senators from the
states n tuned" and the delegate from Okla
homa , will verify th t statement. This was
a charitable and not a political distribution ,
"The quotas of the drouth stricken sec
tions were sent directly to and distributed
by societies and persons designated by their
representative communlt'os for that chart'nb o
work. "
The secretary challenges the severest
scrutiny of his Intentions and his acts and Is
delighted with the character ot the enemies
he seems to bo propagating. But slnglo
members ot the \\ouso \ and senate , us the
records of the department show , have dis
tributed In a year several times as many
seed In their respective states and districts
aa they were entitled to. "And how , and of
whom did thcro liberal gentlemen get those
great quantities of seed ? "

WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. In answer tea
a Ecnato resolution of Inquiry touching the
establishment of Canadian post routes In
United States territory In Alaska , the presi
dent submitted reports upon the subject
by th& secretary of state and the post
master genernl. From these It appears
that the basis for the story ot Canadian
aggression was the hiring by the Canadian
government of a messenger to make but
ono round trip with mall from Juneau In
Alaska to Fort Cudahy In British America ,
and had Invited the United States postal
authorities to send along any mall they de
sired. The postmaster general shows that
It Is a common practice for the Canadians
to pass mall from tholr own offices across
the boundary to a United States postoffico
and In turn the United States postodlccs
pursue a like practice toward Canadian post-
offices.
UIiI Promptly Confirmed.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. The nomination
of Hon. B. F. Uhl to bo ambassador to Ger
many was confirmed by the senate today
In a little more than an hour after It had

mally referred to the committee on foreign
relations , to which , under ordinary circum
stances , It would have been sent , but the
committee waa canvassed on the floor of
the senate , and no opposition being devel
oped It wns decided to confirm Immediately.
This action was taken In conformity with
the wish of the State department , where
It Is considered Important that Kir. Uhl
shall reach his destination aa 'early as prac
ticable.

WASHINGTON , Fob , 10. Although the
senate failed to accomplish much today , the
session served to make definite the program
on a number ot Important subject' . Mr.
Morrlll , chairman of the finance committee ,
gave notice that ho would call up the tariff
bill on next WcJnesday. Mr. Call secured
unanimous consent that the Cuban question
bo made the special order following the
deficiency appropriation bill , Mr. Davis ,
author of the Davis icsolutlon on the Mon
roe doctrine , gave notice that on next Mon
day ho would call up the resolution. Thus
the Hire ? most Important pending questions
were gUe'n a dcfinlto time for hearing.
During the moinlng hour Mr. Cameron ot-
focd tlio following joint resolution relative
to the termination of the war In Cuba :
Hosolved , Thnthercas the president of
the United States In his annual message to
this bjdv says : "Neither the warmth ol
our people's sympathy with the Cuban In
surgents , nor our losses nnd material damage -
ago consequent upon the futile endeavors
thus fur made to restore pence nnd order ,
nor nny shock our human sensibilities mny

appear to especlnry characterize this san

devastation ot nrmod conflict may speedily

train the activity and thrift of peaccfu :
pursuits , " nnd
Wherrns , Ho also dcc'.nres that the prei-
ont revolt Is more nctlve than the one which
continued from 1SG8 to 1S78 , nnd ns It ap

n.nncnt pence to Cuba except by the recog
nition of Its right to self-government , the
good olllces of the United States urn earn
estly recommended to the fnvorablo con
sideration of the Spanish government for
the recoiniltlon of the Independence of Cuba.
Mr. Thurston briefly called attention to
published reports that ho wns the author
ot n bill recently Introduced giving pensions
to ex-slaves. The senator explained thnt
the measure was Introduced "by request"
and hevni entitled to no credit for It.
ENOUGH HAS BEEN SAID.
Mr. Smith then addressed the senate on
the Monroe doctrine.
Senator Smith announced that he waa op
posed to the adoption of the resolutions In
troduced by his colleague ( Mr. Sew ell ) and
quite as strongly opposed to these reported
by the foreign relations committee , and ho
supplemented the two assertions with the
remark that ho had very Httlo sympathy
with the position assumed by the sanator
from Colorado ( Mr. Wolcott ) . There was , he
argued , no occasion for any action of any
kind upon this subject by the senate at this
time. Both houses of congress , by the passage -
sago of the resolution providing for the ap
pointment of a commission to determine
the true divisional line between Venezuela
and British Guiana , had done all that the
president and secretary of state , charged with
the responsibility of diplomatic negotiations
with other powers , desired , and all that the
people expected.
"Wo have , " ho said , "dono all that either
prudence can justify or patriotism demand.
Wo have met the situation outlined to us by
the president In such a manner as to show
that there Is no division of sentiment In the
government of the United States when any
question of national honor Is Involved. It Is
not only unnecessary but unwise to either
qualify or Intensify our action thus taken In
response to both executive and public de
mand. "
Later on In his speech Senator Smith
said : "Tho Monroe doctrine does apply to
the controversy between Great. Britain and
Venezuela quite as truly and qulto as Justly
as If the flying squadron were now In a
Venezuelan port demanding the submission
of a people who have achieved their Inde
pendence. To define the methods by which
a foreign power may accomplish Its purpose
by evading technicalities Is to nullify abso
lutely the American principle upon which wo
take our stand. "
The proper way and the only way to apply
effectively the Monroe doctrine In dealing
with foreign powers was to apply It to each
individual case as that case might arise.
The ringing message of the president of the
United States promptly supported by the
unanimous vote of both houses of congress ,
and by the unanimous sentiment of the coun
try was , he said , sufficient notice to every
power In the civilized world that the Monroe
doctrine was a fixed principle of this govern
ment to be maintained In all cases and at all
hazards , The senator believed the people
wore satisfied.
"Thoy , " said the senator , "have had
enough. They want no more jingoism. They
are sick and tired of the constant Injection of
party politics and personal ambition Into our
dealings with other nations. They are- suffer
ing from our Inaction upon matters of most
vital Importance. Indeed , It Is a fact , and we
may as well admit It first asilast , that the
great majority of the people throughout the
country are disgusted with congress In gen
eral and the senate In particular. The most
popular thing we could do today and prob
ably In the present condition ot affairs the
most beneficial thing1 we could tdo would be
to pass the necessary appropriation bills and
go homo. The mere fact that wo are In ses
sion Is a menace to the revival of business
and the return of prosperity. "
Mr. Lindsay gave notice of an amendment
to the house tariff bill , proposing to re
peal the provision of the present tariff law
which provides a duty of one-eighth of a cent
per pound on all sugars above No. 10 Dutch
rttandard , and on all discolored sugars.
VKST RENEWS THE FIGHT ,
Consideration was resumed on the resolu
tion directing the secretary ot agriculture
to carry out the law for the distribution
of seeds , and Mi. Vest renewed his criticism
of the secretary. The senator called attention
to a published Interview with the secretary
of agriculture Inviting Impeachment and Im
plying that the president would veto the
resolution If congress pissed It. In view of
these statements Mr. Vest said the president
should have full Information ou the subject
and ho proceeded to show from Agricultural
department reports that the secretary had
himself , though opposing this seed law , used
the appropriation for his own purposes by
making excessive1 seed distribution In his own

the senit r , "to m l < o\iestjt-'yed \ ) so'dO'S of
reform hnng her hend and bluth for shame "
Mr. Vest offered n'Hul/fesolutlon directing
the secretary ot agriculture to purchase and
distribute seeds as In prqvlnus years and to
procure them by open purchase or contract.
Mr. Hate said thnt 11'"iHis " not fair that the
secretary of aErtcultnro should bo accused
In this manner without. hUov , | being under
stood , He said the seriate speeches were
"Inflamatory and defamatory , " dealing with
abuse and sarcasm when , In the cplnlon of
Mr. Date , the aecretorniad acted with wis
dom and Justice. Tie | secretary had found
this seed distribution funning wild nnd he
had brought It within broper limits and had
stopped extravagance. 'The ' senator mid ho
had looked Into tha charR , of the senator from
Missouri ( Vest ) that vrchlits , lilies of the
valley and palms \\cre' tent to the receptions
by the president and daWnct otllcsrs and had
found thnt not a sprlc ; pr a rose had ever
been ncnt by the sedrcinry of agriculture to
the whlto house or to the homo of any cabinet
olTlcfr.
Mr. Vest explained that ho had Intended
to fhow that the secretary. In starting out
as a reformer , had failed to reform this
profllnito expenditure , but Itni not intended
to say the secretary had direct control of the
bubjcct.
"So , " declared Mr. Hate , "the sarcasm nnd
Invectives of the orchids nnd lilies of the
valley and the dog fennel and the light of the
chandeliers on the red \ > lne was mere poetry
nnd vanished Into the air. " Mr. Bate went
on to declare his fidelity to the agricultural
Interests , but he opposed the npproprlntlon
of $120,000 for seeds this year , because It
would bo too Into to plant them and therefore
they might ns well be thrown In the sea.
Mr. Gray stated that tlio secretary of agri
culture had acted In accordance with the at
torney general's Interpretation ot the seed
law , which was correct. The fault , therefore ,
was not with the secretary ot agriculture , but
with congress.

colleague ? , many of whom did not know

The debate on the bond bill proceeded until

expired. Mr. Halnor , republican of Ne

the frco colnago substltuto and Messrs.
McDcarmond , democrat of Tennessee , Calder-
head , populist of Kansas , and Skinner , popu
list of North Carolina , for concurrence.
The house Immodlatly reconvened. The

In a few words : "We hear with profound

Mr. Dlngley , republican of Maine , en

WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. The action of
the populist senators In deciding to put
their own ticket In the field for the sonntf
offices has caused some of the republican
senators to doubt the expediency of attempt
ing to complete the reorganization of that
body at that tlmo , and It now looks as If
this attempt will bo deferred at least until
there Is greater certainty ot accomplishing
something than now- appears to bo the case.
Some of the older republican senators ex-
pi eisod the opinion that It would be unwlsa
to tie the senate up Indefinitely over a
matter of so comparatively small Impor
tance. _

WASHINGTON , Feb. 10. When Senator
Quay loft the capltol nftcr the adjournment
ot the ivnato today he had almost dechleJ
to withdraw Ills motion to recommit the
tailff bill , or at least not to.prew It. This
was tlio result of the Importunity of sev
eral republican senators , who , after can
vassing the situation among the democratic
senator.1 , had ascertained to their satisfac
tion that \\hlle there would be n solid vote
on the part of both democrats and popu
lists against rccommltal , thcro would bo
no difficulty In getting a comparatively large
vote on the democratic fldo of the chamber
against the free colnago substitute for the
bill. This turn In the situation has led to
an active canvass of the probable vote ot
the substitute and on the original bill , In
caua the substitute Is voted down. This
survey has necessarily been Incomplete , but
the result Is such as to causs the oppo
nents of the substitute to bcllovo that It
can bo defeated. They count upon the
entire anti-silver republican vote on
the republican side , besides the votes o
many of the t-llver republicans , who wll
not agree to displace the tariff bill with
a silver bill , and also upon getting a largo
majority , If not nil. of the anti-silver dem
ocrats against the substitute. With the sub
stitute defeated the vote would recur on the
tariff bill proper.
The friends ot this measure tire not so
sure of Its SUCCOM as are the antagonists
or tlio substltuto of the defeat ot that meas
ure. They are led to bellovo thnt there wll
bo a solid democratic and populist vote
against the tariff bill , and they also rccal
that Senator Hakcr of Kansas declared In
caucus hln Intention of opposing the tariff
bill In the senate. In the event ot Mr
linker's adhering to this determination II
would be necessary to secure two votes
from either democratic or popullstlo sources
to sccuie the passage ot the measure.
There are some who believe these can be
secured. ' The vote will In any event bo very
close , and It Is doubtful at this time as
to render prediction a mere guess.
