SEA COAST DEFENSES

Subject of an Important Bill in the Senate.

THE HOUSE NOT IN SESSION.

Turkish Barbarities Against Christianity Are Considered in a Resolution by Mr. Hoar, in Which He Shows a Disposition to Co-Operate With the President—Many

Bills Introduced. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—The senate

worked yesterday while the house enjoyed a recess, but most of the business transacted was of a routine character.

Mr. Hoar showed the disposition toward co-operation with the president in dealing with the Turkish question by offering a resolution denouncing the recent atrocities in Turkey and assuring the executive branch of cordial endorsement by congress of a vigorous course for the protection of American citizens in Turkey and the suppression of the barbarities against Christianity. Mr. Hoar did not ask immediate action on the resolution, but he secured the adoption of another resolution requesting the president to submit to the senate all correspondence relating to Turkey. The resolution makes specific inquiry as to what American consuls are absent from their posts by reason of the disorder prevailing.

The first formal speech of the session was made by Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) on Cuba and the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Allen urged the recognition of the Cuban insurgents, the annexation of Cuba and a strong foreign policy. The influx of bills continued, several hundred be-, ing added to those already introduced. Among them were the following:

Hills Introduced.

By Senator Lodge, to amend the immigration laws, excluding all immigrants between 14 and 60 years of age, who can not both read and write the English language.

By Senator Gray, to incorporate the international American bank in accordance with the recommendations of the international American conference.

By Senator Culliun, providing that ho person shall be eligible as an assignee or receiver of a bankrupt railroad who shall have been a director, officer or employe of such road at any time within three years.

By Senator Hawley, providing for the regulation of the importation of explosives.

By Senator Hale, to reorganize the personnel of the navy. This bill is the same as presented by Senator Butler in the last congress.

By Senator Lodge (by request) appropriating $100,000 for the encouragement of aerial navigation.

By Senator Baker, removing the bar of limitation in suits brought by laborers or mechanics against the United States for work done.

By Senator Voorhees, increasing all pensions granted under the act of 1890 to §12.

Senator Sherman introduced his bill of the last session to fix a uniform standard of classification and grading of grain.

Senator Sherman also presented a bill for the readjustment and increase of pensions granted on account of loss of limbs.

By Senator Voorhees, providing punishment for persons guilty of contei of United States courts. The bill ma moving about, talking or the making of gestures while a court is sitting an act of contempt and provides punishment either by fine or imprisonment.

Senator Squire of Washington yesterday introduced an important bill to provide a general system of fortifications for sea coast defense. It appropriates $87,000,000 to be expended during the next 12 years at the important ports of the country, such as New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New Orleans and others, not only on the sea coast but on the great lakes, the navigable rivers and the estuaries of the sea, such as Puget sound and Hampton Roads. In presenting the bill Mr. Squire dwelt upon the necessity of providing adequate protection to the country. He stated that the provisions of the bill were in accordance with the recommendations of the board appointed by the president under the act of 1885, and said that the scheme was one which had the endorsement of many expert engineers and high officials, including the secretary of the war and the commanding general of the armv.

OBSOLETE RULE

Revived in the Senate—Republicans Will Name Committees. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—The Post says

today: Alter the senate Republican caucus adjourned yesterday the discoveiy was made that one of the senate rules allows the appointment of the members of the committees, except the chairman, by a plurality of the votes cast. Inquiry shows this rule, the existence of which had been forgotten, was put into operation as long ago as 1820, and has continued in force ever since. It has become practically obsolete by reason of the fact that for many years the majority and minority sides have arranged their representation respectively, and the slate thus prepared has been agreed I to be unanimous consent, without the formality of a ballot.

The existence of this rule presents a most interesting phase of the senate sitnation. Under it the Republicans can I elect the members of the committees, except the chairman, because they have beyond doubt a plurality in the senate unless all the Populists should vote with the Democrats against them.

Hotel Investment.

MONTREAL, Dec. 5.—A company of American capitalists, it is said, have made an offer to purchase the Windsor hotel. The offer made is 50 per cent of the capital stock and bonds amounting in all to $750,000. Harry Southgate and Mr. Swett, both former managers of the Windsor hotel, axe said to be interested.

Indiana News. PORTLAND, Ind., Dec. 5.—The official

report of the operations of the oil operators in the Ohio and Indiana fields, shows a total net decrease in the two states of 2,235 barrels. This is swinging the pendulum the other way with a vengeance, and shows that the Standard had good reasons for sending up the price 15 cents a barrel, during the month just ended. It does not account,

In Indiana there has been a decided revulsion of feeling in the leasing, and operators are now extending their holdings to the westward as far as possible. Grant, the most westerly county, is showing remarkable staying powers, and the coming summer will show an unusually large amount of pure wildcatting, in endeavoring to find how far to the west good production can be found.

The field is striving heroically to recover from the force of the recent storm, Second rate rig-builders are getting $5

a day, and are hard to get at that figure. Over 7,000 rigs were prostrated. The $1,000,000 estimate of loss is none too large, when the loss of production is taken into consideration.

olson temperance law has proven a failure in Fulton county. The citizens of Akron successfully remonstrated against Frank Spera when he applied for a license in September, ^but they have withdrawn their remonstrance and will

permit the commissioners to grant the license. They found the quart shop ho conducted under his government permit more objectionable than the reguh retail saloon. In Rochester the half dozen applicants will secure license without trouble. The boycotts instituted daring the former canvass have died out and the citizens do not desire to renew the difficulties.
