WASHINGTON. May 29. ( Special Tele
gram. ) An earnest effort will ho made to
.got a quorum of the house present on Mon
day to take up the sundry civil bill. Ser-
goant-at-arms lUissoll today sent out tele
grams to absent republicans , requesting their
. .attendance on Decoration day. This action
on the part of the republicans stimulated
Uomocrats and populists to Induce their
members to bo present , and' the wires have
been kept busy summoning legislators to
Their duties. Grectin of the Sixth Nebraska
wired-that he would start for Washington
( thls afternoon and would. If pcesible , bo In
his seat on Monday. Sutherland of the Fifth
will start east Monday. Whether Strode of
the Flint will respond to his party's call Is
a questlpji , he having been excused Indefi
nitely 'on account of Illness In his family.
As It looks now , there will not be a quorum
present to do any work Monday , and the
house , under Us general rule adopted early
lii the session , will adjourn over until Tuurs-
.day , when It may bo canildently predicted
the sundry civil bill will be passed and go
to the president for his signature.
P. I1. 'Shelby ' , formerly of Omaha , ts being
etrongly pressed for the place of commla.
slonor of railroads , now held by General
Wade Hampton , For a number of years
this place has gone to the south , and It Is
understood that General James Longatreot
'has been elated for the position , but no one
can Jnat tell why. Shelby IH backed by the
entire Nebraska delegation , as well as by
delegations In the northwest , and notwith
standing LoiiKStrect's apparent lead , there Is
to M made a determined effort to land
Shelby In the place.
The postal congrcEa , now lu scajlon in
this city , -will probably finish the work and
go on a tour of the eastern half of the coun
try next week. It la now decided to leave
hero next Friday , the following Itinerary
having been arranged ; Washington to Plttai
'burg , to Indianapolis , to St , Louis for the
following Sunday ; Chicago on Monday ; Clcvo.
iland , Buffalo. Niagara Falls , Albany. Bcs-
iton , New York , on Thursday or Friday ;
Philadelphia and back to Washington. The
return Is made nccctsary , that delegates to
the congrera may be able to glgn the treaty
an agreed upon during the present session ,
WILL HKTUHN IMMEDIATELY.
Aa soon as the senate confirms the nomi
nations of Colonels John 1C. Mlzner and Wil
liam M. Graham to be brigadier generals
both olllcers will Immediately go upon the
retired list , although they would not reach
the retiring age until March 2 and Septem
ber 28 , 1SJS , respectively , It Is the deilro
of the president to make army promotions
as rapidly as possible , but when the succes
sors of 'Mlzner and Graham are nominated
there will not be any more Kencral officers
retired until October 11 , 1898 , when General
John J , Copplnger. will reacn the age limit.
It Is generally understood that Colonel Mer-
rlara of the Infantry arm of the service will
.bo promoted-to a brigadier generalship as
soon as possible , but no conclusion seems to

WASHINGTON , May 29. After an Investi

thu bldn for supplying photographic mapa ,
platea , etc. , for the general land office dur
ing the npxt fiscal year have been rejected
and new bids have been called for to bo
submitted June 15. ThU action Is tbo re
sult of a determination of Commissioner
Hermann that bids submitted should be on
an understanding that photolithography
should bo made from pen und Ink tracings
direct and not from photolithographic
copies , which urn usually worn and de
faced. This was reached liter a thorough
inquiry , which disclosed the fact that the
old practice had allowed plates for in , ins
valuable records and "nacred" archives of
the government to bo taken from the olllce
and photographed without pen and Ink
tracings , leaving the copies easily craalble
with little handling , though the object of
the work was to replace worn documents
for preservation of the records. The fail
ure to make the tracings , It Is stated , re
sulted In a saving of about $5,000 to the
contractors , When the Item WAS reached
In the course of business a few weeks ago
It was held up , end all bids rejected.

WASHINQTON. May 29. The ( senate
reoumed its work at noon todt.y with the
uyual calm prevailing , notwithstanding the
stormy events of yesterday , Mr. Mills of
Texas secured consideration ( or a joint
resolution authorizing the- secretary of war
to USB rations far the relief of destitute
persons in the district overflowed by the
Illo Grande rlvor near 131 Paso , Tex. , and ap
propriating $10,000 tor thU purpose. Mr.
Mllla read a telegram from the mayor and
city officers of El Paso , saying that GOO houses
had boot ) destroyed , that 3,000 pcoplo were
destitute and that the condition was beyond
the power of local relief. The Joint resolu
tion was passed , ami the tariff bill was then
taken up on motion of Mr. Aldrlcb , who
called the paragraphs relating to china ,
crockery , porcelain , etc. , which hail been
passed over.
'
Mr. Aldrlch. in behalf of ttm committee ,
withdrew the ncnatc amendments to
paragraphs ninety and ninety-one , and stated
that thu hotlfo provision would bo allowed to
stand. Mr. Jones of .Arkansas objected to
partial consideration of the china schedule
and It was finally agreed to let the entire
schedule go over.
The bill was then considered from the
point reached yesterday , viz. paragraph 100.
An agreement was reached striking out the
provision that all fluted , rolled , ribbed or
plate glass , when ground or otherwise
obscured , shall bo subject to the pamo rate
of duty as finished , cast , polished plate
gtaes , unsllvered.
ASSAILS PLATE GLASS SCHEDULE.
On the paragraph as to undllvered , cast ,
polished plato glasa.small size , Mr. Jones
of Arkansas moved to rcduco the rate from
S cents to 5 cents per square foot. In this
connection < Mri Jones declared that the In
crease of duty ; ' on nil classes of plato glass
was astounding. In one case , he said , the
rate waa Increased 83 per cent above the
high rate of the McKlnlcy act , which , ho
asserted , had been repudiated by the people
because of its high rates. This was an at
tempt to ralsd the price of mirrors used In
cheap furniture , for poor people , while the
large size glass , used .by people of wealth ,
had Its rates reduced. This was the pecu
liarity of the whole bill , as It the senators
In charge of the bill had In mtBd the old
proverb : "To htm who hath shall be given ,
and to him whom hath little It shall betaken
" J
taken away.
When Mr , Jorim referred to the enormous
dividends declared by the Plate Glass trust ,
Mr. Platt * ! of iConnectlcut stated that no
dividends had .bean declared In the la.t three
years. Mr.'Vest ' .of Missouri added that the
entire plate'rBla3Jf trade , with a few trilling
exceptions , \vas Controlled by the comblna
which met 'annually at Plttshurg , fixing
rates. ,
Jones presented : a statement showing that
the plato glass combination had made profits
of about ? 2,500,000 In the last twenty-two
montlu. on capital of $7,000,000. Mr. Quay
of Pennsylvania read a letter from the Pitts-
burg Plate 5Glars company declaring that
any statements that It was a trust or com
bine In restraint of trade were untrue.
After a Idngthjr debate on the plate" glass
schedule Sehatot * Jones' motion to reduce
the rate onrrougli plate glass from 5 to G
cents was defeated ; yeas 21. nays , 29. <
MOftOAN ASSAILS HEED. -
inScnator ( Quay rfiodo a motion' this after-
nooftj.to tuljniinl rover Monday in .honor'.of .
Decoration , dayj The 'motion ' was discussed
afsomo lei.gth , a number of11 republicans
Baying they thought/the tariff bUl shotlld be
pressed. The democrats supported the mo
tion. Senator .Morgan , in discussing it , said
ho regretted that the republican house of
representatives was compelled to meet on
Monday bj the autocratic rule of that body
which worked like a doorkeeper under direc
tion'of the speaker , who nulled a string
and opened and shut the doors.
Senator Frye called Mr. Morgan to order
tor speaking In that manner of a co-ordlnato
branch of the government , but the Alabama
senator continued , and mentioned the vari
ous public measures passed by the senate
which had not been acted on in the house.
Senator Morgan ' chlticlsed the house for not
considering tho' Cuban resolution and disre
garding the action of the senate.
Mr. Morgan eald the house of representa
tives was compelled to follow the dictates
of ono man , and congress was dishonoring
Itself by being subjected to the mind of one
man. Mr. Morgan continued to criticise , the
speaker and the bouse , and was called to
order by Mr. Hpl6 of Maine.
The chair directed the Alabama senator
to take his seat , until the rule was read Mr
Galllnger of New Hampshire , In the chair
sustained the point of order , and Mr. Mor
gan appealed from the decision.
Mr. Halo withdrew" his point , but Mr. Mor
gan nevertheless was cut off by Mr. Quay
asking a vote'on his adjournment resolu
tion , which was carried , 34 to 17.
The debate on plate.glass and the exlstenco
of a trust became protracted. Mr. Jones
read a number of letters complaining ot the
methods of thorplttsburg company and ho
declared emphatically that the action of that
company was outragepus.
ALDUICH , DEPENDS THE DILL.
Mr. Aldrlch .defended the rates of the bill.
It was not true , he , said , that the ratea on
plate glass were to b Increased as asserted
by Mr. JonesOP that
, OP plato glass was on
article of necessity to the common people.
Plate gluts was not an article of general use
by the common people. The changes pro
posed were simply a rearrangement of the
rates In the McKlnley and the Wilson acts.
The senator from Arkansas ( Jones ) had taken
ono of the Items nnd had rUng the changes
'
on that Item , as though It applied to all of
them. Commenting on Mr. Jones' statement
that the * Plttsburg Plato GUss company was
the Mirgest of its kind In the world , Mr.
Aldrlch declared that this wao an evidence
of American energy and enterprise and wane
no cause for raising or lowering dutlea.
Mr , Lindsay of JKeutucky asked If the
existence of a trust 'to control the trade was
not a good reason for withholding protec
tion , t
"I deny most emphatically , " Mr. Aldrlch
replied , "thaJQ tliefp 'la any combination to
control prices * pro limit production or to
do anything seUeotbat Is generally under
stood PC a r itra < j't of ; trade. "
Mr. Vest polhtatl out what he considered
a peculiar fehtQruJ'or-'the readjustment , that
the ratea w n ? Increased on the grades In

Mr , Quay propped at this point that the
understanding be. reached as to adjourn
ing over Monday , ' 'when Decoration day will
bo celebrated ,
Mr , Chandler a'ddei ) his approval to the
fair way in which the democratic side was
allowing the bill to proceed.
Mr. Aldrlch answered that he felt bound
to urge the tariff bill at every possible hour ,
and ho did not approve the loss of Monday
for debate.
Mr. Frye of Maine said that the highest
exhibition of patriotism on the part of the
senate would be to remain in session on
Monday and he believed every union tuldler
\voulU approve this course.
Mr. Morgan began to speak on the desira
bility of encouraging the patriotic spirit of
the people , for , he eald , wo were not through
with our wars , and we would have need of
all the patriotic Itnpulicg of our people. Mr ,
Morgan then diverged to a severe criticism

PHYE CR1TICISRS.
Hero Mr. Fryo of Maine raid the senator
was exceeding to n slight degree the pro
prieties of the debate In criticising the pro
cedure In the other branch of congress.
Mr. Morgan announced that ho should bo
congratulated that his offense wna slight ,
as the evil required severe treatment , Mr.
Morgan went on with his severe arraignment
of the house. It had so far abandoned Its
duty that thora was n grave question whether
congrci's w"as now In session. It was a shockIng -
Ing outrage on the people and the govern
ment. Hero were hundreds of representa
tives "chewing the cud of reflection" and
standing around until ono man Raid they
wcro to act. The congress of the United
States was dlfthonorlng Itself by submitting
to such a flagrant wrong. This course , ho
said , was all In the Interest of the tariff
bill , and ono man commanded , "pass * thl.i
bill. Stand and deliver. " Popular repre
sentation in the house of representatives
wan dead , and when popular representation
was dead the rights of the people were dead.
At this point an exciting Incident oc
curred. Mr. Hale Interposed a point of order
ngalnst Mr. Morgan's language , saying that
the Alabama senator was violating a funda
mental rulq .s to refraining from criticism
of a co-ordlnato legislative bodv. The chair
was temporarily occupied by Mr. Galllnger
of Now Hampshire , who promptly required
Mr. Morgan to take hip seat pending a de *
termination of the question of order. Mr.
Morgan resumed his seat.
Mr. Qalllnger , from the chair , ruled that
the point of order was well taken , and said
the senator from Alabama should proceed
in order.
Mr. Morgan had risen to his feet , showIng -
Ing suppressed agitation , nnd with a slight
quaver in his voice appealed from the de
cision of the chair.
Mr. Hale promptly relieved the strain by
withdrawing the point of order ho had made
against Mr. Morgan , and ita a result there
WOB no decision from which Mr. Morgan
could appeal.
QUAY OBJECTS.
Mr. Quay followed this up by objecting to
further debate on his amendment , that the
senate adjourn over Decoration day. The
vote was taken 21 to 17 and the motion
prevailed , party lines not being maintained.
Mr. Morgan continued on his feet , and now
that the decoration day motion was out of
the way he secured recognition on the tariff
bill , although ho continued to pay attention
to the house. Ho showed evidence of
feeling over the ruling of the chair. This
closed" the Incident , nnd the senate came
back to the tariff bill.
Mr. Jones of Atkansas moved n reduction
of the rate on unsllvored plato glass 24x30
from 10 to 8 cents per square foot. On a
yea and nay vote the amendment was de
feated 18 to 28. Mr. Jones or'.In moved a
reduction from 11 to fl cents per square foot
on cast polished plato glass , silvered , (10321) ( ) ,
but on a yea and nay vote the amendment
was defeated 1 ! ) to 26. The committee
amendments on cast polished plato glass ,
silvered and unsllvered , and looking glass
plates , were then agreed to.
When paragraph 105 was reached at G:1G :
p. m. Mr. Aldrlch yielded to a motion for

SI3XIHXG OP WHEAT IMPKACTICA1IM3
P.MMillnr Condition" Which I'rcviill
In Inilln.
WASHINGTON , May 2D. Senator Chand
ler has received a letter from George A.
Klttrldge , concerning the proposed relief
expedition for India. Mr. Klttrldge spent
many years In India , and says from his
knowledge of the conditions , the proposed
shipment of wheat will bo Impracticable , and
says there < s no organization In India for
the distribution of food , and that the famine
districts are scattered from Madras In the
south and to Punjab In the north. "It would
be almost Impossible , " ho says , "to divide
a largo quantity of grain among the needy.
The grain would go to India In bulk , but
there are no elevators there or other means
of receiving It In that form. It must bo put
into bags , the bags must bo bought and
the grain filled In the bags on board the
steamer. Apart from the expense of the
bags , 1 do not see how the bags could be
filled In that climate In the holds ot the
steamers. There Is the expense of Bund-
Ing the grain to India , and after Its arrival
ata port , the expense of railway freight-
heavy In India of sending It up country.
A theory has been promulgated In India that
the plague arose from wheat , the result Is
that no wheat or flour will bo received In
other parts of India from Bombay. The
authorities In Calcutta have forbidden the
receipt 'of ( lour ground at flour mills at
Bombay , Under no circumstances , there
fore , must the grain bo sent to Bombay.
If before its arrival In India the plague
should break out In Calcutta that city would
bo put Into the same position , and the grain
would have to remain there. Very few of
the people of India have ever seen Indian
corn. They would have no means of grindIng -
Ing It , nor would they know how to cook It.
Wheat , too , Is used by comparatively few
of the people. "
Ho suggests that If the contributions are
sent In the form of money , It would bo dis
tributed In a manner to bo of some use to
the suffering people of India.

WASHINGTON , May 29. ( Special. ) Two
subjects for tariff debate , In which Nebraska
ts vitally Interested , arc lead anil sugar , the
former of which will bo reached early next
week. The schedule as reported ofVi cents
on lead In ores Is beyond all reason , accord *
Ing to the men engaged In the smelting bus *
IIHIW , and If It should bo adopted would
throw from 300 to 500 men out of employ
ment at Omaha , quite as many at Kansas
City , whllo other smelters throughout the
United States would bo affected In proper
tion. This Is therefore a grave proposition ,
as the smelting Interests with their millions
of capital would bo compelled to do their
smelting In Mexico nnd British Columbia ,
sending the finished product Into the United
States as lead In pigs for manufacturing
purposes.
The house hill laid the duty at 1 cent per
pound on lead In ore * after hearings ac
corded all Interests. The snioltlng people
accepted this Increase , rather than endanger
the hill , although they felt that It would
ho much fairer to have the duty three-fourths
of 1 cent on the unfinished and 1V cents
on the flr.l&hod product , lint they acqul-
( deed In the schedule and thought that every
thing was harmonious , when to their sur-
prlso the arnato finance committee repotted
the bill with 1V4 centa duty on load In. ores.
There was a skurrylng to Washington and
at once efforts wcro made to have the duty
changed. Whether these efforts xylll bo BUC-
ccssf ill la now a subject of serious cor etnpla.
lion. Senators Shoup of Idaho. Caiter of
Montana and JOIUH of Nevada , who are lead *
Ing the fight for tlie duty aa rcportisl , are
determined to keep the rate In. the bill.
Allen and Thuraton of Nebrnnka , llaker of
Kansas and Turner of Washington are fight
ing ns hard the other way , Mr. Hosewatc. '
of The Ueo la also actively Interested with
Mr. Alexander of the Omaha & Grant SmeltIng -
Ing works In having a reduction In the
rate made , and no stones are being left un
turned that irny bring help to an Omaha In-
du .try , which , If compelled to run on third
force would bring widespread desolation to
many homos.
It Is the dcslro of the smelting Interests
to have the rate reduced to the house bill
agreed upon In the finance committee , there
by avoiding a fight on the floor , which could
not help but become acrimonious In view of
charges and counter charges that have been
made. And a powerful force Is at work to
accomplish this , notwithstanding that Sena
tor Shoup told The Bee yesterday that he
would help defeat the bill If the senate
"monkeyed" with the tariff on lead.
One , of the smallest warrants over drawn
by the Treasury department was signed by
Acting Secretary Howell In favor of the
Sioux City & Pac'lflc Railroad company for
2 centa In payment to that company for
hauling headstones for the graves of union
soldiers. Tills was the balance due the com
pany for transportation , and as these ac
counts must be rigidly kept , a warrant was
necessary to pay off ttu government's in
debtedness. There Is a tradition about the
Treasury building that i smaller warrant
waa drawn than the ono above referred to ,
namely for 1 cent , shortly after the war , but
no record has been kept of It , or nt least no
ono has been able to put his hand upon the
order for the warrant. So the warrant of
yesterday must stand as the smallest cvci
Issued by the government. Kx-1'rcsldent I (
Cleveland received a check , at one tlmo dur
ing his career ad chief executive for 2 cents
In payment of a balance on his monthly
salary , but nobody or corporation ever re
ceived so small a warrant aa that of the
Sioux City K. Pacific Railroad company.
The supreme court of the United States , In
passing upon the question nhclhcr the In
terstate Commerce commission had the right
to fix rates had this to say of the Nebraska
statute creating the Slate Board of Trans
portation. The opinion of the court Is by
Mr. Justice Brewer , and is found In the
case of the Commission against the New
Orleans & Texas Hall road company :
We have not bvoi looked the statute of Ne
braska , nor the decision of the supreme
court of that state In respect thereto. This
Htntutc was approved March 31 , 1&S7 , a few
weeks after the passage of the Interstate
commerce act ( Laws of Neb , 1SS7 , pag-e DiO ) ,
and was obviously largely patterned upon
that act. The general obligations Incor
porated Into that act In respect to reason
ableness of rates , prohibitions of discrimina
tions , undue preferences , etc. , are all In
the Nebraska statute. A commission called
"a board of transportation" Is also pro
vided for ( section 11) and Is charged with the
general duty of enforcing the net nnd su
pervising the railroad companlcb In the s'nte.
Section 17 , which In more full and Bpeclllc
than any to be found in the Interstate com
merce act , provides that "said boanl Khali
have the general supervision of all railroad. !
opentttxl by steam In the state , nnd shall
Inquire Into any neglect of duty or viola- .
tlon of any laws of this state by railroad i
coiporatlom. It shall carefully In- j
vestlgate any complaint mmle In wrltlns nnd i
under oath concerning any laclc of facilities. ,
* or afralii ! > t any unjust discrimination j
against either person , Ilrm or corpor.itlon or '
locality , either In rates , facilities furnished
or otherwise ; and whenever In the judgment
of said board * any change In the i
mode of conducting Its business or operating
Its road Is reasonable and expedient In order ,
to promote the security and accommodation
of the public , or In order to prevent unjust
dl&crliiilnatloiiH ngalnst either persons or
places , It filmll make a tlndlng of llni facts ,
and an order requiring nalu railroad cor
poration to make such repairs and Improve
ments , " etc.
In State ngalnst Fremont , Rlkhoin & MIs-
souil Valley llailroad Company (22 ( Neb.
313) ) it appeared that the , Board of Transpor-
ntlon had found that ccitaln rnt H enforced
upon the load of the defendant company
wcro excessive and thnt other ratea letM
: han the rates In force were reasonable and
U3t. On application to the supreme court
t wan held that thu state was entitled tea
a mandamus compelling obedience to such
determination , the court observing ; "In the
cane under consideration the board found
hat the rates and churRCs of the respondent
were exclusive ; In other words that theic
wan unjust discrimination against that part
of the state , and , having sr > found , the
joanl Is clothed with ampin power to re
quire such railway company to reduce Its
rates and charges , The power of the board ,
; herefore , to establish regular rates and
charges of thernllwayo within the state of
Melirneka IH full , ample anil coiiiplc'e , "
Without criticizing' In the least the logic
of thl.l decision , It in enough to say tlmt It
In based upon a sfcctlon which Rives wider
nnd moro comprehensive power lo thn su-
pet-vising lioanl than Is Riven to the Inter
state Commerce C'ommlsMon , and It Is not
Just of Inference ! that the latter has the
same power In respect to prewrlblnc rates
tlmt by such derision was declared belongIng -
Ing to the Nebraska Hoard of Transporta
tion.
tion.Somo reliance wan placed In the argument
on this sentence , found In the opinion of
thin court In Railway Company against In.
trrMatc Commerce Commission ( IC2 I' , S.
l\l. IM ) , "that the commission Instead of
withholding- Judgment In such a matter un
til an Issue shall be made and itho facts
found , Itself Hxcil n rate , yet that It could ,
whenever complaint of an existing rntftvai
made , give notlcp and direct a hearing , and
upon siu'h hearing , determine- whether the
rate established was reasonable
or nnrca-
tonalile , and also what would bo n reason-
on o into If the onp prescribed was found
not to be , and that * nch cmler could bo nnido
llio basis of a Judgment In mandamus re
quiring UH\ carrier thpreafter to crtnform

made , and imde with forco. tlmt while the-
commission may not have the leuMatlvo
power of establishing rates. It has 'thp ' Judi

pill that will" is Ayor'o Cathartic Pill. It is a
pill to rely on. Properly used it will euro con
stipation , biliousness , nick houdaono , und the
other ills that result from torpid liver. Ayer's
pills are not designed to spur the liver into n ,
momentary activity , leaving it in yet moro
incapable condition after the immediate effect
is. past. They are compounded with the pur
pose of toning up the entire system , removing
the obstructing conditions , and putting the
liver into proper relations with the rest of the
organs for natural co-operation. The record of
Ayer's Pills during the half century they have
been in public use establishes their great and
permanent value in all liver affections.
