TIIK 1'HorE.KIllNOn.

W abhingion, March b.—After five I days of debalo tho pension appropriablll carrying S161,000,000 was

tiou passed Wednesday afternoon without division. Throughout the debute thore had been no criticism of tho amount carried by tbo bill, debate being on the one hand confined to an assault on the manner in which the present commissioner of pensions had administered the office and his alleged unauthorized suspeuKion of pensions, and on the other to a defense of the attempt cf tho commissioner to purge tho rolls of those who were not entitled to a place upon them.

AiueuduietlU Defeated.

All the amendments to the bill, save one, that of Mr. Plckler, to muke the reports of tho examining surgeons open to the inspection of the applicant or Ills attorneys, were defeated. They all fell under points of order that they were not germane. The one which attracted most attention was that of Mr. Knloe, to repeal a portion of the provision included in the act of last December to prevent the suspension of any pension, except on thirty days' notice, so as to permit the suspension in case of prima facie evidence that tho pensioner had procured his pension by forgery, perjury or other palpable fraud. This amendment was offered at the suggestion of Commissioner Lochren himself, who, under tho opinion of tho attorney general, declared that if the act of last December stood over ST.00,000 would have to be paid ont to suspended pensioners who wore proved beyond all (juestlou not to be longer entitled to tho pensions they had boon drawiug. Mr. Outhwuite, tho chairman ef the committee of the whole, however, ruled the amendment out on Mr. Martin's point of ordor that it was not germane.

ChIIk

It a Political Machine.

Mr. Springer (dem., 111.) took the lloor iu defense of the policy of the pension bill. He wanted to know why Illinois, having more population than Ohio, had but. Us.UOO pensioners, receiving $11,019,000, while Ohio had 101!,OS', pensioners, receiving $17,328,000. Iu Indiana $000,000 was distributed to the congressional district, in Ohio 1855,000, while in Illinois but ?r00,000 was distributed to tho district. He attributed this state of affairs to the fact that the pension ofiico had been made a political machine by the republican party. Illinois was certain for the republican party, while Indiana and Ohio were doubtful. Tho pension cases were settled in the doubtful states, while those from the solid states were pigeon-holed.

Mr. Marsh (rep., 111.) explained this discrimination bv pointing out that In Kansas, which .sent but fifteen regiments into the field, there were 42,000 pensioners. The old soldiers from Illinois had moved west to Kansas and other states.

The Dclmtft Cloned.

Mr. O'Xeil (dem., Mass.), who was in charge of the bill, closed the debate, lie warned the republicans that they were in poor business when they saw lit to discredit Uen. .Black and Commissioner Lochren in the eyes of the old soldiers. Neither could they discredit the president with the American people. They had absolute faith in his honesty, Ins pluck and Ins courage.

At 8 o'clock the general debate closed under tho agreement reached yesterday and the bill was read for amendment and debate uuder the fiveminute rule.

Henderson ('l ies Shame at «eu. llltmk. Mr. Henderson (rep., la.), who has been ill for some time, got the floor. Several weeks ago he submitted to another amputation of his leg. He had been pained beyoud measure, ho said, to find that upon theme which ought to inspire every patriotic heart this house was as divided as if it was a war measure. Gen. Uhick, who deserved every generous word that had been spoken concerning him, had stood hero with a bouquet of rhetoric for the soldier in one hand and a dagger to strike him to the soul iu the other. Mr. Henderson continued: "Ob, my country, lie wbo wore stars upon his shoulders in tbo cause of the unlou can do more harm lo his comrades than all those who fought under the confederate flag. Mark tho coutraHt presented by that other dlstingumhcd 60ldier, Gen. Sickles, who, fearing not the thunder of the executive or the cruel hoel of pulronatfe, stands for the soldiers with whom he fought. Hoars are honorable, but they must not be usod as a cloak from behind which to btrlke equally honorable men. This debate shall not close without my crying: 'Shame, shame, at tho soldier who sought to discredit his comrades in arms."

The Jllll FaHHod.

Mr. Grow (rep., Pa.) offered the lust ame ndment providing that no pension on account of disability in tho service should be less than fl2 per month. With this amendment as a text he made a brief speech, his first since his return to the house, which he left thirty years ago as speaker. The bill was then reported to the house and passed without division and the house adjourned.

Itnml Third Time In the Senate It. Opponent. Knew It. Washinqtow, Maroh 8.—An exciting and interesting debate was precipitated iu the senate Wednesday by Senator Harris' (dem., Term.) motion for the second reading of the seigniorage bill. This was opposed by Senator Sherman (rep., O.), who moved its reference to the finance oommlttee, and in the course of a strong speeoh in opposition to the bill said that its object was to divert a trust fund from its legitimate purpose—a thing which in Ohio would be a penitentiary offonse. His motion was defoated, however, and the bill taken up on unfinished business, and almost before any one was awaro of what had happened it passed its third reading and was on the point of passing the senate. Then its opponents recovered from their surprise and endeavored to prevent Its passage, and oil request of Senator Sherman It went over until to-day.

Wabiunoton, March 8.—Just before leaving the capitol a few minutes past 4 o'clock Wednesday benator Voorhees, as chairman of the senate committee or. finance, ordered the issuance of a call for a meeting of the full committee to-day at o'clock. As lie left the building he said the meeting was for the purpose of considering the tariff bill, which would then be submitted. He at the same time reiterated the statement made on the floor of the senate that the committee would be given a few days to consider tho bill as a whole, and that after it should he reported to tha senate at least a week of additional time would.be permitted for the preparation of speeches before there would be an effort to have the hill taken up in the senate.

Mcl'hersou Kxplalns.

The call for the mei^iug of the committee was the culmination ot events of the day connected with the tariff, which were of more than usual interest, not the least important of which were the statements of Senators Voorhees and Mcpherson on the floor of the senate. Considerable comment was made upon the remark of Senator McPherson to tho effect that he had been alone responsible for the delay in reporting the bill, because of his opposition to tho general reduction of duty rates as fixed by the committee. After taking upon himself the whole responsibility for delaying the bill, Senator McPherson proceeded to deny that he had any speculative interest in the matters under consideration. It was true that some sugar stock had been purchased for him while he was out of the city, but it was without his knowledge or consent. He had ordered his broker to sell it upon learning the fact, and he had uot purchased any sugar stock since, though he did own a few shares of railroad stock, which, of course, were not affected by the bill.

Th« Sennit* Startlrd.

This confession also startled the scuate, and when Senator Vest (dem.. Mo.) arose immediately afterward «verydody expected that the senate was about to be transformed into an old-fashioned experience meeting iu which everybody would plead guilt}* and ask for prayers for forgiveness. Senator Vest disappointed his auditors, however, for he declared most emphatically that he had not purchased any sugar stock and that anybody who said so in print or otherwise was a willful and malicious liar

Mu*t Itcjmrt for Melf-Defeune. The fact that the senate for two days has been considerably exercised over the published iutimations that speculation was going on is regarded as a good sign. It indicates that the uneasiness is extending, and that the finance committee will be forced to report the bill as soon as possible in self-defense if for no other reason.

The capitol has been thronged with protection lobbyists for the past month, and no more earnest lobbyists have been found in the corridors than exist upon the floor of the senate in relation to certain interests and industrie* Senator MePherson, who frankly con-, fessed his part in the delay, has been conspicuous as a lob 1)3* is in behalf of various New Jersey manufacturers who want their interests protected by high tariff duties, and Senators Gorman, Uric Hill, Murohy. Pugh, Faulkner. Caffery, White ot Louisiana ami White of California have ail appeared before the committee almost til3* to protest against certain proposed changes in the direction of lower duties and strictly revenue tariff.

Stories of senatorial speculating have been afloat for weeks and all sorts of rumors regarding the profits and losses of some (if these spec ulators have been in circulation with more or less detail. It is no longer doubted that some of the senators have been buying sugar stoelrand that most of those who have done so have profited by their speculation. This fact is well known to the finance com mittee.

Cuioaoo,

March 8. Through the

overflow of tho IJesplaines river over the dam or spillway between Summit and liiversidc over 100,000 cubic foot of water is being forced Into the Chicago river every minute. This condition has prevailed since Tuesday afternoon and' will continue until the levee is repaired. This large amount of Desplaines valley water has changed the current of the Chicago river, and at present the city sowage is going into tho lake. It has not reaeheu tho cribs, however, owing lo a fortunate shift in the wind.

A torrent of water has been pouring through a 40-foot break In tho banks of the old canal 1 mile below Summit, Hooding the now channel and tho country between that point and Jollet. The freshet is due to tho melting snow and the recent rainfall. The rise In tho Desplaiues river has been 8 feet, or within 10 Inches of the highest water mark known.

Nearly 100 men were at work on the break all day Tuesday constructing a new dam inside the old oue. No boat could be forced past the opening ou account of the powerful current, so the work was all from one side and necessarily slow. Two canal boats of stone were used Tuesday and It is expected' that by to-ulglit the levee will be repaired. Many tons of baled hay are ou tho embankment ready to complete the new dam at the proper time.

All Under Water.

As a result of the overflow at the spillway and drainage section 1£ the entire valley around Summit is under water. Excavating machinery, houses, wagons and tram cars belonging to contractors are under or floating on the flood. The powerful currents have carrlod away fences and flooded tho. vulley. Movable property along the half doze., railroads in the vicinity Is either under water or has been carried away iu tho flood.

Narrow Ktoitpn of Traveler.. The Riverside-Summit bridge and wagon road is 4 feet under water onehalf mile from Summit. This Is the flood that broke into section 1£, and thence into the old canal. There were several narrow escapes from loss of life at the bridge Tuesday. This road conneots Summit with tho country on the opposite side of tho caual, and when tho river broke over its banks there was no other way to communicate with the outside world. Two wagons and two buggies, made tho crossing Tuesday. In two Instances the horses had to swim out. Six persons who tried to make the crossing in one carriage baroly escaped, while tho team was so far gone that the carriage had to be abandoned in order to save the horses.

An authority in Desplaiues river floods says that had It not been for the drainage work already performed tho present freshet would have as disas trous an effect a* the one of 1US5.

Floods In Jollet.

At Jollet the water Is clear over the banks of the caaal from Jackson street half a mile south to the McDonough street bridge, flooding basements of machine shops and flowing over into the lumber yards. In tho Sixth ward tho water lapped two blocks east from the canal, forcing the householders to move to the upper story. The dam at Jackson street had -JO feet taken out to a depth of 12 feet clear to the lower level. From the Summit lo l.ockport the flats are one seething sea surrounding the shanties of employes of the drainage ditch, who have been forced to flee to the blutVs. The works of the drain age canal are all under Severn I feet of watoi. Near Leniont a section of 700 rods of the canal bank has been torn out, letting the water run out in a torrent. The poles of the 1'ostal Tele graph company were torn out by 4 feel of water.
