THK HAY'S WOIIK.

WASHINGTON, March :!.—The important legislation of Monday in congress may be briefly summarized. Tho senate acceptcd the Cannon substitute postal subsidy bill just as it came from the house and it now awaits the president's signature.

The house bill correcting the error of the MeKinley bill in abrogating the provisions of the Hawaiian treaty has also been accepted, as has the house measure appropriating 81,000,000 for the Mississippi river improvements.

The conference reports on the Indian depredations and the timber culture repeal bills have been agreed to.

The house has sent to the senate a substitute for its meat inspection bill. The house has sent, the copyright bill back to conference, instructing its conferrals not to agree to the Sherman amendment, permitting the importation of foreign copyright books on payment of tariff duties.

The senate 'lias included in the general deficiency bill a provision for payment of Krencli spoliation claims to the amount of $1,800,000.

The Paddock pure-food bill and the Conger lard bill went by the board together in the senate committee on appropriations. Senator Paddock (Neb.) made a desperate effort to secure the attachment of his bill to the agricultural appropriation bill, hut was defeated by the efforts of Senator Allison (la.), who opposed it as likely to cause too much discussion in the senate. Monday morning Senator Paddock proposed the purefood hill as an amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill in open session. Senator Washburn (Minn.) immediately arose and proposed the Conger lard bill as an amendment. The point of order was made that the bill was new legislation. Vice President Morton, prompted by Sena' tor Edmunds, decided the amendment not in order and Senator Paddock appealed at once from the decision of the chair. The vote was a close and exciting one, the decision being sustained and the bill lost by a vote of 2T to 2fl, a majority of a single vote.

The house resolution appropriating 81,000,000 for the Mississippi river's improvement, to be disbursed by the Mississippi river commission, was passed.

The credentials of James Henderson Kyle, as senator-elect from South Dakota. beginning March 4, (replacing Senator Moody) were presented and placed 011 file.

The senate also passed the post office appropriation bill after adding on an amendment appropriating 81,250,000 for the transportation of foreign mails. The credentials of John li. Gordon, as senator from Ceorgia (replacing Mr. Brown). were presented and placed 011 file. The vice prosident laid before the senate a communi cation from the family of Admiral Porter tendering thanks for the condolences of the senate on the death of the admiral. The house amendment to the senate bill for a public building at Saginaw, Mich., reducing the amount from 8350,000 to SMOO.OUO. was concurred in.

The bill was then passed aud tho senate proceeded to the consideration of the general deficiency bill. The consideration of the bill was temporarily sus pended and a message was read from the president returning without his approval the senate bill conferring jurisdiction on the court of claims to inquire into and determine how much the hull of the United States doubleenders Agawam and Pontoftsuc cost the contractor. George W. Lawrence, above contract price and allowances for extra work and to enter judgment for this amount in favor of the administratrix of

Mr. Lawrence. The ground of the president's veto is that it would establish dangerous precedent for the government to declare that it would make up to a' contractor the loss he had sustained by reason of the lowncss of his bid and the subsequent unexpected advance in the price of material. The senate then took a recess till 8 p. m.

At the evening session the vot* by

CRA.WFORDSV1LLE, INDIANA. TUESDAY MARGE 3, 1891

which tin- sonata last week passed the house hill to pay judgments of the court of claims for army supplies (under tin- Bowman act,) was. on tno-

tion of Senator Harris (Tenn.), reconsidered. All the senate amendments which had been then agreed to were disagreed to (including the Chouteau claim of 8740,000) aud the bill was again passed without any amendment. The reason assigned by Senator Harris for this course was that the amendments could not possibly be acted on in the house, and that if this course was not followed the whole bill would fail.

The consideration of the deficiency bill was proceeded with. The two items to pay to the widows of Chief Justice Waitc and .Justice Miller one year's salary—810,500and $10,000—were opposed by Senator Berry (Ark.) as an unauthorized gift of. the people's money, and were advocated by Senator Blackburn (Ky.), who said that it was the settled practice of congress to give a year's salary to the family of every senator and representative and every official of congress who died in public service. Finally a vote was taken and the items were agreed to yeas, 49 nays, 10.

The next subject that provoked discussion was the proposition to give a month's extra pay to the officers and employes of the house. Senator Plumb spoke of the unconscionable extravagance of the two houses and said that while the pay of the senators amounted to 8400.000 a year, the pay of those who waited on them amounted to 8000,000. Tho house item was struck out of the bill—yeas, 31 nays, 21.

The sundry civil bill as agreed upon in conference was reported to the senate, but went over without action. It appropriates 837,509,303, being 81,661,175 less than as it passed the senate, and 83,200,893 more than as it passed the house, 87,771,081 more than the current law and 81,301,719 less than the estimates.

The house amendment to the senate bill for the inspection of live cattle, hogs, etc., intended for exportation cvas concurred in. A further conference was ordered on the Indian appropriation bill.

bronze statue of the great divine, which stands in the city road, was formally unveiled with elaborate religious services and in the presence of an audience of several thousand. The statue represents Wesley attired in his Oxford gown and with the Bible in his hand, just as he appeared a century ago while addressing the large audiences that gathered to hear him. It stands in front of the Wesleyan chapel on the city road and directly opposite Bunliill Fields cemetery, where the remains of the founder are buried. Memorial .services were held by the Methodists in all the large cities as in many country districts and will continue through the week.

Fowler, one of the members of parliament for London city, addresseda meeting in the City Road chapel, extolling the virtues of Wesley. The archdeacon delivered a long and eloquent eulogy of John Wesley, during the course of which he said that he regretted, as'a churchman, that, the church a hundred years ago had not the wis dom to assimilate with the mighty enthusiasm which gave momentum to the Wesleyan movement It seemed, said the archdeacon, shocking and disgraceful in Christians bound by a com mon Christianity to treat each other with mutual coldness.

TIRKD OF WAITING KOK I.BGISI-ATION. TOPEKA, Kan., March 8.—A new alliance movement contemplates the formation of a huge live stock combination, including Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. Frank Mel! rath, president of the Formers' Alliance, says thai, the project is one of the results of the failure of the alliance legislatures to pass certain bills. Legislation, he says, is too slow a means for the achievement of the alliance objects. Mr. Met!rath says that alliances are being formed in every congressional district and provisions are being made for building cold storage and grain depots. The district alliances will be made up of sub-alliances. In this .way a constant communication from individual members of the alliance is to be had. He concludes:

We will know how many cattle each member ot the alliance 1ms on hand, and he can bold them without scllin? tor need ot ready cash. A record of those fnct* will be kept. So individual memher will sell his grain to option nten or bankers, but when he is obliged to sell the grain will be taken by the alliance. The same tbiiiR will follow with cattle. We will have agents at Kansas City. Chicago and St. Louis who will kocp the district alliances posted as to the market and the demand. Upon this Information the demand will be supplied. No option will be on the market. There will be no speculating on grain before harvest. The four stales In this trust will practically control tbe wheat and cattle markets ot the United Slates. The commission each day will wire farmers to send in a certain amount of wheat or cattle, as the oase may be. culling on those who are the hardest pressed for cash. The amount demanded to supply tbe market that day will be apportioned among the districts equally and In turn apportioned by tbe district alliance. No farmer who Is a member of the alliance will sell his products till called upon. By this plan fluctuations in prices will be avoided. Other state alliances are expected to join the movement. The hardest thing wo have to deal with is fixing the price. We mean to ascertain the exact cost of the product and add a t-eit*onahln profit to 11

This will iive us a standard price that can lie easily maintained. The new scheme Is modeled In detail after the whisky trust. Of course you will say that our principles wilt not admit of It, but we have d« elded that we mils', tight the devil with fire that Is. we must tight trusts and combinations with trusts and combinations. While this scheme will reverse matters by putting the stock men and grain men at. our mercy, we do not think any injury will result. The scheme looks visionary, perhaps, but will surely be fol lowed out."

HAHMKIIS VS. lltrsl.VKSS MEN. DF.S MOINKS, la., March 8.—There is likely to be trouble between the State Business Men's association and the Farmers' Alliance, growing out of the establishment by the latter of co-oper-ative stores. To this the business men object, and have notified jobbers that they must either stop selling goods to the alliance or the members of the State Business Men's association will boycott them. The alliance threatens to retaliate by refusing to patronize members of the Husiness Men's association.

THE CHINESE MISSION.

Seuator Blair .May Not Go to relclu After All—The Celestial i.overument May Frotest Against ifU Appointment.

WASHINGTON. March 3.—There is a rumor here that Senator Blair may not go to China after all. The stories are that the Chinese legation here has informed the government at Pekin that Blair is a labor agitator and a bitter opponent of Chinese immigration, and that he has on frequent occasions in the senate uttered sentiments hostile to China and insulting to her people. Extracts from some of Mr. Blair's speeches were cabled on Saturday to the imperial government, and it is not at all unlikely that the latter may enter a protest against Mr. Blair's appointment. The latter has not yet concluded to accept the place, and may not declare his intentions until afffc idjournmenl.
