THE FOETY-NINTH CONGRESS A Pension Debate in the Senate Calls Out a Denunciation of Gen. Black. Mr. Ingalls Makes an Assault on the Pension Commissioner, Who Is Defended by Mr. Yoorhees —Oleomargarine in the House. THE SENATE. Senator Ingalls Makes an Attack on Pension Commissioner Black. Washington, May 25. —Mr. Eastis presented resolutions of the Louisiana Legislature memorializing Congress for the establishment of a navyyard at New Orleans. Referred. Mr. Harrison reported favorably a bill to authorize the appointment of an additional adju-tant-general of the army, with the rank of major of cavalry. The bill was placed on the calendar. In introducing this bill Mr. Harrison said that it placed it in the power of the President to recognize the services of Lieut A. W. Greely. He was therefore instructed to authorize the retirement of that officer. The bill was indefinitely postponed. A resolution offered by Mr. Call was agreed to, instrxicting the committee on naval affairs to inquire and report whether the interests of the country do require the equipment of the navy-yard at Warrenton, New Pensacola, Fla., for the .construction there of steel ships of war, aud whether an appropriation of not less than $500,000 should not be made for the immediate commencement of the work of constructing such vessels. On motion of Mr. Dolph, June 1 was fixed for the consideration of the bill repealing the preemption and timber-culture laws. On motion of Mr. Plumb, the Senate then proceeded to consider the Atlantic & Pacific railroad land-forfeiture bill. After a few words f debate by Mr. Plumb and Mr. Call, the bill was passed as it was reported from the committee on public lands of the Senate. It forfeits Jll lands except the right of wny adjacent and coterminous with the uncompleted portion of road. Oii motion of Mr. Sewell, the Senate took up the bili heretofore reported by him from the committee on pensions, “To amend the pensions laws by increasing the pensions of soldiers and sailors who have lost an arm or leg in the ■ervice." The bill gives S3O a month to soldiers and sailors who lost one foot or one hand in the service; $36 a month to those who lost an arm above the elbow or leg above the knee; $45 a month to those who lost an arm at the shoulder-joint or a leg at the hip-joint. Mr. Miller offered an amendment extending tbe provisions of the bill so as to include among the $45 a-month pensioners the cases of men whose legs had been amputated so near the hipjoint as to prevent the use of an artificial leg. The amendment was agreed to, and as so amended the bill was passed. On motion of Mr. Sawyer, private pension eases were then taken up and proceeded with. Mr. Ingalls severely criticised General Black, tbe Commissioner of Pensions, declaring him to be an impostor, whom Congress granted the highest pension rate ou false allegations of his being a “wreck." He protested against General Black’s enjoymentof such-a pension while opposing pensions to other soldiers. Mr. Cockrell defended General Black’s administration of his office, citing figures to show that more claims were allowed each year under his administration than in any year in any former administration. If Mr. Ingalls believed General Black's pension unjust, Mr. Cockrell said he [Mr. Ingalls] should introduce a bill to discontinue the pension. Mr. Yoorhees warmly defended General Black, and with energy and emphasis denied that thero had been any false allegations in the matter of his application for pension. He represented General Black’s condition at the time as one of absolute and complete disability, aud his survival and recovery as wholly unexpected and ex-

trnordinary. Mr. Logan would not say that General Black was not entitled to his pension, but he expressed a hope that the Pension Office would be administered in sympathy with the wounded soldiers. He thought that unfair statements had been sent broadcast over the cquntry about the action of Commissioner Dudley. If General Black was entitled to the pensiou Mr. Logan hoped he would retain it. General Black h?*d been a badly wounded man, and if entitled to a penlion, no matter how large, Mr. Logan would not reduce it one cent It did not come with the best grace, however, from men who had received pensions by act of Congress to object to others receiving pensions by similar means. The great majority of men who applied for pensions were disabled, either from wounds received or diseases contracted in the service. Mr. Ingalls said he did not stand here to disparage the valor or courage of General Black, bnt merely asserted officer had received his present pension upon allegations of facts that did not exist and do not exist to day. Mr. Ingalls ■was informed—though he did not know it when he had enthusiastically reportod General Black’s application for a pension—that, after all the surgical treatment rendered General Black, he was active in political and professional life; that he was a candidate for Congress in 1866 or 1868, long after the war closed. He had also been informed that three times since the granting of the pension in 1876, General Black had been a candidate for Congress and made a canvass: that he had been a candidate for Governor, and active on the stamp; that he conducted his pro fessional vocation, and had contended fora seat in the United States Senate. Yet he had been informed from many sources that he was a total wreck, intellectually and physically. Mr. Voorhees denied that anybody had ever •aid that General Black was an intellectual wreck. Mr Ingalls said it had been repeated time and time again. Mr. Voorhees with emphasis of manner denied this. Mr. Ingalls said that among the many allegations was one that he could not practice his profession. Mr. Voorhees—Well, how could he—flat on bis back and torn with wounds, even if his mind was as brieht as Blackstone’s? Mr Ingalls—l ain not here to answer a CftteBhism of the Senator from Indiana about whether a man cnu practice law on his back or not. That does not concern the controversy. Mr. iDgalls reiterated his statement as to the allegation of “intellectual” wreck. As to General Black’s wounds, Mr. Ingalls remarked that no pension could be too large for those wounds. It was not of the largeness of the pension that he complained. No man could be paid with SIOO a mouth for being torn by shot and shell. What Mr. Ingalls complained of was that, having obtained that pension upon those pretexts, John Charles Black should have signalized his advent into the place he now held by a protest against the payment of smaller pensions to men who were as greatly disabled as himself. He (General Black] stood to-day co-operating with the President of the United States in vetoing little measures of relief, at $8 per month, to private soldiers who could not secure sufficient evidence to establish their claims before the Pen•ion Office. He [Mr. Ingalls] protested against John Charles Black enjoying a pension of SIOO a month upon pretexts that did not exist, and. at the sane time, using the efforts of his great office to | revent the payment of pensions that had been la vfully provided for. One of hi3 first official aeie had been to suspend payment of a penlion to a citizen of Kansas who, for nineteen year#; had not seen the light of the sun, nor the face of wifo or child —a poor wretch, doomed to perpetual darkness and isolation—whose pension, in any event, was S2B month less than that received by John Charles Black, though Mr. Black could write his name with his disabled hand. So plain was the case, however, that Secretary Lamar directed it to be paid, in spite of the protest of John Charles Black. Mr. Ingalls, in the name of the disabled soldiers of the Republic. protested against that impostor—be repeated it, with full knowledge of what the word meant—that impostor who was receiving a pension to which he was not entitled by virtue of any disability, and who had used his position, ev*i since he had been in it, to revile his predecessor. Air Voorhees said that It was well known Uutt Mr. Ingalls was at hi# best when extrava-

gant—when confined by no olose or accurate lines. That Senator bad felt compelled to insist on bis statements as to General Black’s intellectual oapacity having been weakened, when there was no statement ever made tr ' effect Mr. Voorheee, in support of his at ment, had the Clerk read General Black’s application for a pension, and the report of the Senate committee with reference to that application. Alluding to General Black’s wounds, Mr. Yoorhees said that to this day these wounds had to be daily dressed by a physician. If the Senator from Kansas felt any pride in assaulting a man who was suffering as General Black was. let that Senator enjoy it, but it was totally and absolutely unjust. As to the Kansas soldier, General Black had simply exercised the prudence to suspend a claim in order to have it examined into. That had resulted in a confederate soldier, now at the head of the Interior Department, allowing the claim. Mr. Voorhees observed that the Senator from Kansas, while denouncing the Commissioner of Pensions, forgot to express his grateful appreciation to tbe late Senator from Mississippi [Senator Lamar], now at the head of the Interior Department. The urgent deficiency report was submitted, and, on motion of Mr. Allison, agreed to. The bankruptcy bill was then taken up. Mr. Teller spoke against the bill and Mr. Hoar in its favor. After an executive session, the Senate adjourned.

THE HOUSE. Continuation of the Debate on the Hill Taxing Oleomargarine. Washington, May 25. —The Speaker announced the appointment of Mr. Dinpley, of Maine; Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, and Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, as conferees on the shipping bill. Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, from the committee on commerce, reported back a Senate bill authorizing the construction of 8 bridge across the Arthur Kill. Placed on the House calendar. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, from the committee on Territories, reported a bill to enable the people of Dakota to form a constitution and State government. Referred to the committee of the whole. Also, adversely, a Senate bill for the admission of the State of Dakota and for the organization of the Territory of Lincoln. Referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. Baker, of New York, filed minority reports on both these measures. Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, from the committee on Pacific railroads, reported a bill to incorporate the Arkansas, New Mexico & Pacific Railroad Company. Placed on the private calendar. Mr. Peel, of Arkansas, from the committee on Indian affairs, reported a bill to equalize the per capita payment to Cherokee Indians out of the $300,000 appropriation made to them by the act of March, 1883. Placed on the House calendar. Mr. Maybury, of Michigan, from the committee on ways and means, reported adversely a bill to carry into effect the convention made between the United States and Mexico, signed on Jhd. 20, 1883. Referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, presented a minority report. Mi*. Randall, of Pennsylvania, submitted the conference report on the urgent deficiency bill, and it was agreed to. After a vain attempt to arrive at some determination as to the order of business to be pursued during the remainder of the week, the House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in the chair) on the oleomargarine bill. Mr. Miller, of New York, gave his hearty support to the bill, and quoted statistics to show the injury which the manufacture of bogus butter had worked upon the exportation of American dairy products. Forbearance had ceased to be a virtue. The farmer could not successfully compete with the manufacturer of oleomargarine, which can be madrf for seven cents a pound. Either oleomargarine must go or the great dairy industry would be wiped out and utterly destroyed. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, had no scruple about supporting the hill, even though it were said that it did discriminate in favor of one industry and agAinst another. No tax could be levied that did not discriminate in favor of or against some interest, and it was because this bill did discriminate in favor of the farmer th*t he gave the bill his approval. The census report showed that practically half of the people of this country were engaged in the agricultural interests, while the protests against the bill emanated from two or three great centers where oleomargarine was manufactured.

Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, did not contend that the bill was, in itself, constitutional. The man who voted for it because he wanted to raise taxes could cast an honest vote without violating the Constitution; but the man who did not vote for it to raise taxes, but only to suppress one industry in favor of another, prostituted the taxing power of the Constitution to a base purpose. He quoted from Mr. Hiscock’s speech in support of the bill, and from utterances of Daniel Webster. to the effect that a bill to raise taxes was all right, but a bill to strike down one industry for the benefit of another was ail wrong, and exclaimed, “Choose ye this nay whom ye will follow —God or Baai, "Webster or Hiscock.” Mr. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, was in favor of a bill which would provide for an examination of the wholesomeness of oleomargarine, but he was opposed to excluding that article of food from the people of the country by means of taxation. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, said he would not vote for an additional internal tax. Could Congress prohibit science from making new discoveries? Could it prevent ingenuity from making new inventions? His life was drawing to its natural close; its best and ripest years had been devoted to a system the tendency and effect of which had been to develop all the material resources of the country, and in developing and bringing them into utility had given employment to the idle, and industry and character to our men and women. Having devoted his mature life and the energy of his closing years to that labor, he would not vote to add to the corrupting overflow of the Treasury in order to say that our material resources shall not be developed, that our people shall not have cheap food, and that there shall not be employment for gentle girlhood, vigorous manhood, and old age. Mr. Mills, of Texas, said Congress had no right to destroy one industry to build up another. Mr. Negley. of Pennsylvania, sent to the Clerk’s desk, and had read, a telegram from the Pittsburg Grain and Flour Exchange, transmitting a let of resolutions adopted by that body, declaring that the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine specially branded is a legitimate and lawful business, and an industry which, by providing cheap and wholesome food, is in the line of American enterprise, and earnestly protesting against any action tending to depress or discourage that important industry. Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, maintained that it was not proper to attempt, through a tariff law, to distroy an industry— to attempt to do indirectly what could not be done directly. Mr. Frederick, of lowa, earnestly advocated the bill, declaring that the oleomargarine business was only carried on by means of deception and fraud. Mr. Hepburn, of lowa, supported the bill. He denounced the methods hy which oleomargarine found a market, declaring that none of it was sold under its proper name. This declaration was earnestly denied by Mr. Lawler, of Illinois, and a noisy colloquy at this point took place between the two gentlemen, in which Mr. Frederick took a hand, with the assertion that Chicago was so used to fraud that it wanted to palm it off on the whole country. Mr. Lawler did not relish this attack upon his city, and retorted with the declaration that Chicago to-day whs one of the most healthy cities m the United States; that its death rate was less than that of any other city in the United States. “It went up a little the other day,” suggested Mr. Reed. •'Not a bit of it,” replied Mr. Lawler. Mr. Frederick remarked that the people of Chicage could not afford to die; they were too devilish mean to die. Mr. Struble suggested that the reason was that they knew they wero going to hell and did not want to die on that account. [Laughter.] Mr. Honderson of lowa said that the farmers had to get fair play in this chamber, and if it were not given, it would bs taken. He believed that there were enough votes on both sides of the House to proteot the interest now clamoring for protection without the help of men who never raised their voices, except to extend the protective tariff. In conclusion, he said that, while he had never seen oleomargarine mentioned in the Bible, Shakspeare had described the process of its manufacture; and, to the

amusement of tbe committee, he read from Macbeth the description of the concoction of the witches’ broth. Mr. Beach of New York supported the bill, and held that Congress had the power to regulate the sale of adulterated food And drugs. Mr. Dunham of Illinois 6aid that the sole object of the bill was to advance the price of butter, And he entered his vigorous protest againstits passage. He sent to the Clerk’s desk and had read an affidavit made by Philip D. Armour, of Chicago, giving a statement of the manner in which oleomargarine and butterine are made in his establishment. “No ingredient is used," says the affidavit, “or ever has been used, in the manufacture of either product which is in any way injurious to health.” Mr. Dunham said that he had similar affidavits from the firms of Swift Bros, and Fairbanks & Cos. Mr. Glass of Tennessee spoke in favor of an amendment, which he proposed to offer, fixing tbe rate of taxation at one cent a pound. Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, ridiculed the supporters of the bill. He had seen many strange bedfellows in politics, but he had never Reen any measure before Congress which had brought together so many heretofore supposed inconsistent, antagonistic and hostile elements. When the vote was taken, free-traders would be found standing side by side with pig-iron protectionists; the advocates of the greatest measure of personal freedom and the irreconcilable enemy of all sumptuary laws standing cheek by jowl with the advocates of blue laws. He had seen the supporters of the free-trade Confederate Constitution petitioning here for the passage of the most outrageous measure of protection, the most unlawful measure of protection that had ever been brought before Congress. In order to take up this bill, the House had passed over measures for the reduction of taxes. The gen tleman from Illinois [Mr. Morrison] had, a few days ago, said to the Democrats, “What brought you here? W’ho sent you here, and what did you come for? To reform the maladministration of public affairs, to reduce the number aud wages of public officers and to lighten the burden of taxation." Nobody had denied the gentleman’s statement, and yet when this butter train was run up against the tariff and internal-revenue bill that lay across the track, the engineer of this butter train never put on a brake nor reversed a lever, but ran against that bill and knocked it off the track. In conclusion, he cited the story related of a man who, being out with a party of jolly companions, returned home late at night in an inebriated condition, and, calling out to bis wife, requested her to come down And pick her husband out of the crowd and take him into the house. After members got through voting on this bill, they would have to send a request to their constituents to please come down and pick out their Representatives and take them home and keep them there. [Laughter.] Mr. Morgan, of Mississippi, favored the hill on the ground of its being a bill for the raising of revenue. If $2,000,000 of revenue could be- obtained from this source, taxation could be reduced on other articles which the people required. Mr. O’Ferrall, of Virginia, favored the bill. Mr. Rowell, of Illinois, supported the bill as protecting a legitimate industry against the unfair competition of a fraudulent industry. Pending further discussion, the committee rose and the House took a recess till 7:30, the evening session to be for general debate on the oleomargarine bill. At the evening session the general debate on the oleomargarine bill was continued, and Mr. Farquhar made a strong argument against the bill and the report in its favor, asserting that to his knowledge the acids which the report, mentioned as entering into the manufacture of oleomargarine, and as having an injurious effect upon the health of the community, were necessary in purifying fats and making them wholesome for consumption. He was opposed to taxing a wholesme food product 10 cents per pound. If his party were in favor of that class of protection, he would leave it. Mr. Price, of Wisconsin, supported the bill as collecting a revenue, and, incidentally, correcting a great evil Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, regarded it as a tyrannical exercise of the constitutional power to levy a tax when the government needed no more revenue. Mr. Brown, of Pennsylvania, hated oleomargarine because it was a fraud, and he hated frauds. But he disliked the bill, because it was as much of a fraud as oleomargarine. It professed one thing and was another. The end in view was a good one. and, much as he disliked the mode of reaching it, he might be compelled to vote for the, but he hoped that it would be amended by reducing the tax to one cent per pound. Mr. White, of Minnesota, supported the proposed legislation as being in the interest of the health of the community. After further debate, the House, at 11 o’clock, adjourned.

Burial of Mrs. Pendleton. New York, May 25.—The simple Protestant Episcopal service was read to-day at Zion Church over the remains of Mrs. Alice Pendleton. the wife of United States Minister George H. Penleton. who was killed on Thursday last, while riding in Central Park. The services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Tiffany, assisted by the Rev. W. A. Leonard, of Washington. The immediate family of the deceased assembled at the residence of Mr. Frank K. Pendleton and ac corapanied the remains to the church. The only floral offerings were a wreath of red roses at the head, and another of white roses at the foot of the casket, and a cross between the two wreaths. There were no pall-bearers. While the procession moved up the aisle the choir sang “Thy Will be Done.” The casket was made of solid walnut, covered with black cloth, aud had six heavy silver handles. A simple plate on it bore Mrs. Pendleton’s name and date of birth and death. Among those present were Secretary of State Bayard, Pendleton Schenck, Erastus Corning. General Newton, Stanley Mathews, Mrs. Noah Hunt Schenck, Elliot Pendleton, Mrs. F. H. Potter, Major Howard and J. S. Barton Key. The body was taken to Woodlawn Cemetery for temporary interment, but the final interment will be in the old family plot in the Cincinnati cemetery. Railway Passengers Injured In a Collision. Toronto. Ont., Mav 25.—While a train which had the Odd fellows’ excursion on board was going into Brampton, on a steep down-grade, last night, the rear car became detached. The engineer, not knowing what had happened, stopped the train, and the detached car ran into it with great force. The car contained forty persons, and every one of them was injured more or less seriously. Following are the names of those most seriously injured: Grand Master Joseph Suinn, badly bruised: Mrs. Carless, spine hurt; iss Rosie Smith, badly hurt internally; Mrs. Ray, badly bruised and injured internally; Mrs. Davis, head cut and badly bruised. Fred Davis, shoulder dislocated and badiy bruised; M. G. Howard, head badly cut and hurt internally; Miss Alma Corty, severe internal injuries; Mrs. Jennie Patterson, cut on heart and bruised about body; Mrs. W. C. Patterson, knee dislocated and head badly injured: W. J. Nord, injured internally and badly bruised. National Convention of Butchers. St. Louis, May 25.—About 150 delegates from fifteen States have arrived here to attend the first national convention of the National Butchers’ Association. The butchers met this morning and were called to order by C. H. Simpson, cbairinan of the committee on organization, and were welcomed and given the freedom of the city by Mayor Francis. He was responded to by Thomas Armour, president of the* association, and the convention then proceeded to effect a temporary organization. The complaints against the dressed-beef monopoly seem to be uppermost in the minds of the delegates, and there is no doubt that the great work of the convention will be to organize in self-defense. It is proposed by many to practically boycott the great dressed-beef firms and to pledge themselves to continue slaughtering for themselves, or, at any rate, in their own cities. Explosion of Two Car-Loads of Powder. Chattanooga, Mav 25.— -While transporting two car-loads of powder from the river, near this city, yesterday, a spark from the engine ignited the powder, and it exploded with terrific effect. The cars were demolished and the engine badly damaged. The engineer and fireman were frightfully burned, as was another man who was standing alongside the track, and all died at midnight last night. The names of the men who were killed were: William Loyd, David Harper, Isaac Ramsey. * Life-Senator Flint, Canadian Parliament, says: St. Jacobs Oil acts like a charm.
