WASHINGTON' , Feb. 13. A resolution of
Inquiry offered yesterday \ Senator 'Haiti *
of KnM.i-i precipitated a spirited discussion
of the Pacific rallrcod question today. The
resolution called on the attorney general
for tl.o reasons whlc'i ' Induced him. to nhan-
Oon his plan ot redeeming the first mort-
Rage bonds of the Kansas I'ac'.flc ' branch of
the Union Pacific and having the road oper
ated by a receiver. Mr. Harris denounced
the prfnrnt plan to sell the road at the bid
of the reorganization committee as dotratid-
lip t'.io government out of something more
tlun SD.ftOO.OOO.
Mr. Poraker explained the view taken of
the I'llttor by the administration , show Ing
'tho president was convinced the reorganl/-a-
tltm committee proposed to pay for the road
all It was worth.
The resolution was finally passed In
amended form.
Mr. Pel tin ( Ala. ) offered nnd so-
rured the passage of a resolu
tion requesting the president , if not Incom
patible with the public interest , to Inform
the senate that action has been taken In
reference to Segundo N. Lopez , a citizen of
the United States arrested on April 11 ,
IS'Jil , In the district of San Diego del Valla
TMagueralla , Cuba , by armed soldiers of Spain
commanded by Colonel Estrucb.
TAKE UP TIIK RESOLUTION.
The resolution introduced yesterday by
Mr. Harris ( ICati. ) directing the attorney gen-
cial to furnish the senate information as to
tbu agreement male by the government with
the reorganisation committee of the Union
' iP.irlflc railway concerning the Kansas Pa
cific branch WOK laid bcfoie the senate.
Air. Chandler said he had nu objection to
the resolution , but did not approve of the
preamble , which Included a press dispatch.
Air. Harrli replied that ho might not In
sist upon the preamble after he had made
a fltatement. The Union Pacific , ho said ,
for a long tlmo had attempted to Influence
congress and olllclals of administrations to
ecalo down the debt of that company to the
government about SO per cent. Until a year
. ago last January the company had been un
successful. At that time they made an ar
rangement with Mr. Cleveland's administra
tion by which the road was to be disposed
of with a lose to the government of about
$28,000,000. Mr. Harris Jlien outlined the
reasons why the arrangement was not car
ried Into effect. Public sentiment was
aroused from Maine to California. The de
mand of the people , he salt ! , being that they
bhould not be swindled out ot the enormous
sum mentioned.
When the present administration came
into power the question was grappled wit !
and the government finally obtained every
cent Jue from the Union Pacific on the rcalo
lino. "Wo were all voiy glad , " said Mr
Hauls , "that the government received
just duo and nobody das more cordially con
gratulatcd the present administration thai
I upon the successful negotiation of tha
transaction. "
ROlAD i ; Cm THE MONEY.
Tt was a.\yi \ oped , Mr. Harris said , thai
the govorr .t would got the full value o
Iho debt from the Kansia Pacific branch
In cas' reorganisation committee ehoult
< lecll' pay the full amount due abou
$1 ? ,0 It 'van the understanding that
f eminent would redeem the first mort-
tionds and have the road operated by
rcolver. A competent receiver would
.ir.'v the value of the property , which Mr.
Harris believed was qulto $30,000,000. The
reorganization committee , Mr. Harris said ,
had evidently succeeded In obtaining fron
the attorney general such concessions as hai :
hcem outlined In the Associated Press dla-
patchcs , and the government Is to stand Idlj
by and ECO the enormous sum of $0,700,000
of Interest sacrificed. The value of the
property , Mr. Harris thought , was a most
Important consideration , Uy the reorganiza
tion committee and by the Union Pacific of
ficials , an effort had been made to minimize
the value of the road.
"It la particularly significant , " said Mr.
Harris , "that the statements of the reorgan
ization committee nnd the officials of the
Union Pacific regarding the value of the
main line liave been proved by eubsequent
events to bo untrue.
"As was said once by the senator from
Missouri ( Vest ) , 'When they speak they lie ,
and when they are silent they steal. " "
Mr. Harris then discussed the value of the
Karoos Pacific roaj , and said that having
lieon a civil engineer on the I'oo , his In
formation was that of an expert. Ho aald
that during the lost eleven yeara the line
had earned en amount equal to 4 per .cent
oa $30,000,000.
PRESENT PLAN UNSATISFACTORY.
Ho further said that on February 5 the
nttonucy general had agreed to redeem the
first mortgage bonds and to have the road
operated by a receiver. This arrangement ,
Jlr. Harris said , was perfectly satisfactory
to those for whom ha pokc , but the Inten
tion of the attorney general to abandon that
filan , nnd to let the road go with a lass to
the government of nearly $7,000,000 , was not
only a surprise to him and others , but ah-
eolutely unsatisfactory.
Mr. Harris maintained the Kansas Pacific
road was worth the last cent of the govern
ment's claim , and It ought to bo demanded
l > y the attorney general.
Mr. Morgan , referring to the effort to pass
bill In the seivvto giving powers to the
administration to become a bidder for the
Kansas Pacific road , said ho thought that
the senate ought to take the measure up and
piss It. Whether It would pass the con
gestion which sometimes takes place In the
oL'ior branch of congress , he could not say ,
It would be possible , however , thus to
Jr' demonstrate- whether there was a power In
the housn of representatives which would
n stand la the way of the proposed measure
fffl Intended to save the people of the country
floveral millions of dollars. "Political parties
will sometimes permit robberies. They
will snnllow the consequences of these rob-
lierles without u strain , but the people will
not allow themselves to be juggled with ,
whatever political parties unay do , " con-
rtlmied Mr. iMorgun ,
> Mr. Gear objected not only to the pre
amble of the resolution , but to the wording
ot the resolution , which was dlscourteouo to
the attorney general. Referring to a peti
tion from the London banking firm , raid a a u
jinrt of Mr. Harris' remarks , which con
tained every evidence that there- was trouble
liptwt'on the reorganization committee and
those It represented , ho said that when
roguea fell out honest men wore likely to
pet. their ilucs.
"That la a coiisummatlton devoutly to bo
( wished for , " exclaimed Mr. Harris. "When
these thieves fall out perhaps the United
States will get Its dues. "
'Mr. ' Gear , continuing , regarded as the
creates * plume In the cap of the present administration -
ministration the fact that It received 100
cents on every dollar of the Union Pacific in
debtedness ,
"Thm why is It willing to take -IS cents
on the dollar of the Kansas Pacific liens ? "
imiuircd 'Mr. ' Morgan.
"I don't know that It Is. " replied Mr.
Gear. " 'Hut ' If It Is perhaps It Is because
the road li worth only -tS cents on the del
lar. "
DEFENDS THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. Foraker discussed the situation aa U
had been viewed by the president. The pres
ident had asked congreca to give him au
thority to enter the sale of the Kansas Pa
cific ns a bidder , but congress had taken
no action. The final offer made by the reorganization -
organization committee the president had
ovldt'ntly regarded aa reasonably satisfac
tory.
tory.Mr
Mr , Gear moved that the resolution bo re
ferred to the committee on Pacific railroads.
Pending the vote on this motion Mr , Tur-
lilo declared that an effort was lielng made
by the reorganization committee lo recoup
out of the Kansas Pacific sale what U was
compelled to pay for the Union Pacific main
line In addition to what U had expected to
pay. Ho maintained that the Kansas Pacific
branch was necessary to the owner * of tbo
main line nnd that they were compelled t
purchaio the branch road. In view of tin
fact they ought to be forced 1o pay the $ C ,
000,000 of Interest due , Mr Turplo then offered
ferod the following resolution and asked lha
It Ho over until tomorrow :
IlesoUed , TJiftt It It the opinion of the sen
rite that Die Rale of the Kansas Paclfl
division , made today , ought not to bo cor
firmed pxccpl upon the lerms that the orlgl

KaiiNnH Pacific division , bo paid In full b

feated 19 lo 34.
Two verbal amendments by Mr. Chandlo
were agreed to nnd 'the ' resolution wa

WASHINGTON. Feb. IG. The house pu
In a busy day. The tlmo was devoted to the
consideration of resolutions and bills unde
the call of committees , and sixteen of more
or less public Importance were passed.
An order was also entered by common con
sent for the consideration of the Loud bll
relating to second-class mall matter , March
1 , 2 and 3. nnd the order for tbo consider
ation of the bankruptcy bill , which begins
tomorrow , was modified so that the flua
vote shall bo taken on Saturday instead o
Monday as arranged last week ,
In the house today Mr. Coonoy
( dom. . Mo. ) , rising to Q quos
tlon ot privilege called attention to the
fact that a resolution of Inquiry Introduce !
by him December 14 , calling upon the secretary -
rotary of the treasury for the statement and
accounting of the receiver ot the First Na
tional -bank ot Sedalla , Mo. , which was re
ferred to iho banking and currency com
mittee , had not been reported back. Under
the rules a resolution of Inquiry not rcportei
upon within seven days Is privileged.
After an explanation by Mr , John
son ( rep. , Ind. ) on behalf ot the
subcommittee , of the banking am
currency committee , who said actloi
upon the resolution had been delayed by pe
culiar circumstances and that ho thought
the sub-committee would report upon the
resolution tomorrow , Mr. Cooney withdrew
a motion he had entered to discharge the
committee.
Mr. Payne ( rep. , N. Y. ) , chairman of the
committee on merchant marine , called up the
senate bill to amend the navigation laws
of the United Sbites. Mr. Payne explainer
that the bill had been prepared by the
Treasury department and was designed to
protect our seacoast trade along the Pacific
coast with ( Alaska.
Mr. Terry ( dom. . Ark. ) said the bill hud
a much broader scope than appeared at first
blush. It related to th entire coast trade
of the United States. Ho believed that this
'trade belonged to the United States. Our
slilpplng laws were all antiquated , but there
should bo a general revision , not special
la s. Laws , In hla opinion , simply fostcret
the shipping trust. As long as American
owners were unable to place the American
Hag o\er a foreign built vessel , ho was op
posed to such bills as the pending measure.
Mr. DIngley cald the pending bill was de
signed to carry out the traditional policy of
the government of restricting our coastwise
carrying trade to American vessels. The
bill was passed without division.
The committees were Iron called. Mr.
Updcgraff ( reo. . La. ) , from the committee
on judiciary , called up a bill to amend the
act of 1887 relating to the fees of the United
States officers 10 aa to correct sorno existing
abuses , and it was passed.
Mr. Cox ( dom. , Tenn. ) from the committee
on hoiking and currency , called up a bill
"To better control and to promote the safety
of national banks. " Tbo bill provided that
no national bank shall make a loan to the
president or nny other officer or emplojo
ot the- bank until such officer or employe
has submitted the ptoposltlon for the loan
In writing to the directors and It has been
approved by n majority of them , and In
mo case shall tUe loaa exceed the amount
permitted by law. The report of the comp
troller , Mr. Cox said , showed that 90 per
cent of the failures of national banks were
duo to the appropriation or absorption of the
honk's funds by Us ofliceis. A similar bill
had twice patsed the- house and had once
passed the senate , with an amendment. The
bill was passed.
The house agreed to consider the Loud
bill relating to second-class mall matter co
March 1 , 2 and 3.
Considerable.discussion arose over a com
mittee amendment striking out the word
"directors. " The directors , as well as tfjp
officers , wore subject to the restrictions of
the measure In Us original form , but the
committee recommended that directors bo
stricken out.
Mr. Johnson ( rep. , Ind. ) , Mr. Cox ( dem. ,
Tonn. ) , Mr. Fitzgerald ( dem. , Mass. ) and
others , thought the directors of a bank. In
regard to loans and overdrafts , should been
on the same footing with officers , The weed
"directors" was retained In the bill , and It
was parsed , C5 to 28.
A bill was passed extending the time in
which the Pittsburg & Mansfield Railroad
company may complete a bridge across the
Monongahela Tlvor.
Mr. Hall ( dem. , Tex. ) , from ttio committee
on rivers and harbors , reported a resolution
calling on the secretary of war for on esti
mate for creating a channel 100 feet wide
at the mouth of Double Uayou , Galvcston
bay , and It was adopted ,
A bill presented by the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries was presented
amending the law for licensing mates on
ocean and river steamers.
Mr. Loud ( rep , , Cat , ) , from the committee
on postofllces and postroods , called up the
bill to make It lawful to transmit through
the malls private postal carJs with a 1-ceiU
stamp affixed. The bill was passed.
Mr. Loud then said It was very Important
that the house should act nn the bill relat
ing to a revision of the law relating to second
end class mall matter , as the psstolllcs ap
propriation bill was being held up pending
the decision of the house on that measure.
Ho asked that March 1 and 2 bo devoted to
Its consideration.
Mr. Williams ( dem. . Miss. ) suggested that
the Oebatu bo extended until March 3.
The suggestion was accepted and tha order
was entered ,
Mr. Loud then called up a bill reported
l > y his committee requiring prepayment of
postage on all first class mall matter , but
ufter o brief delate It as recommitted ,
A bill was passed giving the ussent of tlio
{ ovornmpnt to n change of the -compact bowen -
; wen the United States and the state of
Arkansas asked for by tbo legislature of the
same state , so i-s to prevent the apportlon-
ui'iit of common lands for common school
lurpoaes ,
At this point Mr , Dalzell ( rep. , Pa. ) asked
or a modification of the order for consid
eration of the bankruptcy iblll , which begins
nmorrow , by which the final vote should be
aken on Saturday Instead ofl iMonday , as
originally ordered , with the understanding
hat Monday should be private bill day , The
modification of the order was agreed to.
A bill was passed empowering registers
and receivers of gcnral land offices to Issue

WASHINGTON. Feb. IS. Secretary Wllrcn
of thr 'Agricultural department has re
turned to the city from a week's visit t
Florida , where howent at the suggestion o
the president to study the productions o
that country. In an Interview coneernln
his observations there the secretary spok
as follows :
"Tho most striking development 1 found In
Florida was the growth of the tobacco In
terest. Within the last tow years 40.00
Cubans have coinu over from their natlv
country , many of whom had been llfc-lon
tobacco growers and understand the art fron
the planting of the seed to the marketing o
the cigar. The Cubans recognlzo the hum
mock lands of Florida as being very slnilla
to that of the best tobacco land In Cuba. Tli
Americans "caught on1 to the huslnes
very rapidly. The state statistics enow tha
the Cubans sold last year 60,000,000 cigars
and tha sale of all tobaccos brought Cubans
113,000,000. The United States still pay
yearly to Cuba , Sumatra , Mexico and othe
countries $17,000,000 for tobacco. Thla the
Florldlan Is reaching out for. Notwlthstand
Ing the people get 18,000,000 cigars annual ! )
from Florida scarcely such a thing Is to be
found on the market us a Florida clRar
They all come north under the Havana name
I found very much the same condition o
affairs In the north regarding the- Florida
cigar -is I flnd In London regal ding Ameri
can butter. The consumer In London Is
well satisfied that the American butter Is the
llnest that ever went on his table. The
northern epicure after smoking hla cigar
will testify very readily that nothing equals
bis flno Havana. Then If you have evidence
to provo that It was grown , cured and manu
factured In Florida , you will convince him
but not otherwise. 1 made cftorto to buy a
box of Cuban cigars grown In Florida , but
only In one Instance was I able to do so.
KNOW LITTLE OF SCIENCE.
In connection with the tobacco Industry
Inquiry , Secretary Wilson said ho was
forcibly reminded of the work done In
past years 'by ' the agricultural experiment
ctatlons In mastering the principles that
underlie the flavoring of 'butter ' and the
ripening of cheese. After the tobacco has
been grown Ita \ fairly well understood tint
fermentation along several Unco produces
the characteristic flavor of the product , and
Just e > n several cheeses mo given their
peculiar taste through ibactcrlil action so
unquestionably tobaccos grown and mami-
factuied in different sections of the coun
try are flavored hj- different kind * of bac
teria. Ho expressed ! the belief that neither
the Cubans nor the Americano In Florida
know anything about the principles that
underlie the curing of the ncvcral 'tobaccos ' ,
but said that Dr. Stockbridgo , In charge
of the experimental station at Lake City ,
fully realizes the requirements of the altu-
atlon. Ho lias Inaugurated a series of researches /
searches regarding fertilizing and what
goo3 on during the process of fermentation
and phosphoric acid Itf. the secretary said ,
required In the production of tobacco. The
acid exists In Florida in abundance , nitro
gen can bo had through growing leguminous
crops , and as the potash Is found below the
salt deposits of the German mines the secre
tary osked whether It might not also bo
found In this country below the salt de
posits. The tobacco raiser must hnve It.
The secretary also looked Into the orange
Industry and expresses the belief that there
Is TIO tropical ' ( belt In Florida. Frost will
como occasionally and Injure tha fruit , but
ho believed that protection might bo had
for the Florida orange , as It sold very high
compared with fruit from any other coun
try. The pineapple 1ml IM try was prosper
ing and was very profitable and the small
fruit Industry was qulto Important. The
rllibon pugar cane he thought would also
succeed In Florida whenever the culture of
It wag undertaken systematically. Mr. Wll-
aon believed thsrc were certainly openings
for Industrious people In Florida. Jackson
ville people had to pay 10 cents a quart for
their milk , and It would bo a very fair
speculation , ho said , for northern people to
take the cows there to furnish milk at that
price. In conclusion , Secretary Wilson ex
presses the opinion that straight farming
waa of moro value to the people than rais
ing tcJbacco , sugar cane , vegetables , etc. ,
end that the ctaplo Industries of the state
would bo dairying , cattle raising , sheep
raising , bacon hog raising , etc.

WASHINGTON Feb. 15. The executive
session of the senate- today was enlivened
by a vigorous effort by Senator Tlllman to
secure recognition to make a point against
he contention tb'it ' the Hawaiian Islands
vcro of strategic Importance to the United
States ,
Senator Oalllngor occupied the chair and
other senators were seeking to make reports
upon nominations , several coming In after
Mr. Tlllman had risen. 'His ' voice w.s
Irowned by theirs and it began to look as
f the senate might adjourn without his
> clng heard.
Apparently realizing the situation , the
South Carolina senator toolc hia position In
he middle nisle directly In front of the chair
nd demanded to < bo heard. "I have stood
lore on my feet while eight or ten men have
eon recognized. " he said In stentorian tones ,
'and I want to know If I am to be heard. "
"If the senator -would speak a llttlo
oudnr , " slid Senator Hoar , "ho might be. "
This remark did not apaprently fall agreo-
bly upon Mr. Tlllmnn's ears and ho replied
by appealing for protection and fair 'treat
ment. "I have been a member of this body
or three years , " ho said , "and I have al-
vays tried to Oeport myself ixs a gentleman
nd I think I am entitled to fair treatment. "
At this point Senator G ; lllnger. who oc-
upied the chair , rap | > ed ) for order. Ho then
xplalned that the falure to recognlzo Mr ,
Tlllman was duo entirely to an Inadvertence
ncl to the fact that his attention lv.il boon
Irected In another way.
To this Mr. Tlllman replied that this ex-
lanatlon was entirely satisfactory and ho
irocecded to nviko hla point , which waa
hat the strategic Importance- the Ha-
vallan Islands was overrated. He argued
liat In case of war between Japiin and the
'nlted ' States Japan could bring coal for Its
ar ships over In tenders nml thus render
self entirely Independent of the Islands.

The end of the first day's session of the
Nebraska division , Sons ot Veterans , which
lo In annual convention In this city , found
all the delegates inery good spirits TliU
hilarity , which \\as shown o.ily In very
proper form , was , produced by the fact that
the lost year has placej the order In the best
condition In cvciy way that It has o or en
Joyed in Its history. That was thu tale told
by the reports of the ofllcers.
.All thu reports wore delivered at the first
meeting ot the convention , which was held
ycstcrcMy afternoon. At 2 o'clock Com
mander DavW called the 'hojy ' to order ,
about fifty delegates bslng seated before
him. Woodmen of the World hall , In which
the gathering lock place , had something of
an appropriate patriotic air. The national
colors 'Here ' draped In places about the walls
and there was a stack of rifles on the floor.
The meeting was largely occupied with the
preliminary work ot the convention In ap
pointing committees nnd listening to the
reports. The division commander , the chap
lain , the adjutant nnd the quartermaster
each sgavo a resume of the year's work In
their respective llnro. The convention ex
pects to get down ) to hard woik this morn
ing and It will ( bo pretty busy until the flnal
adjournment Is taken.
According to the reports of the ofllcers
good progress Ins 'been ' made during the
last year. The dele-gates wtre especially well
pleased with the financial report. This
showed that the division Is completely out
of debt and has money In the treasury.
This was particularly i 'leasing ' because the
division had been oncuirAerod with debt for
some yearn past and has been unable to
throw the load oil despite strenuous efforts.
The membership has aho Increased about
sixty , the roll of the division now containing
over 500 names. These monrbora are dis
tributed among twenty-six camps , a de
crease of four for the year.
COMMANDER'S RECOMMENDATION.
The report of Commander Davis contained
a number of recommendations. Among the
mcst Important cf these Is favorable to the
adoption of an Incuranco department. The
commander also recommends that the per
capita tax bo increased GO as to replenish
the treasury. He also favored the passage
of a resolution calling upon the Grand
Army veterans to set aside a day at their
annual state encampment to ho known as
Sons of Veterans' day and to be given over
to the members of the order.
All the recommendations will In course of
tlmo bo considered by the convention. The
first ono to come -up will be that regarding
the Insurance feature. A committee ap
pointed last year to Investigate the matter
has reported favorably upon It. This report
Is to come up for discussion at the session
this morning.
Last night the delegates were the guests
of Clarlwon camp of South Omaha. The
evening was spent In demonstrating the
secret work , , the elaborate "long" ' Initiation
iboing employed. During the course ot the
evening the delegates were tendered a sup
per. The meeting did ) not ( break up until a
late hour.
About half cf the expected number of dele
gates were In the city yesterday , some fifty
registering. As many more nrc expected to
day. Some .of . the belated de-legates came In
on last night's trains and the rear will come
in this morning.
