,PBOCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS

Senate Indulges in a Lengthy Debate Over What Constitutes a Free-Trader. The IIcnso Tasscstlic Nicaragua Canal Bill and Then Engages in a Sharp Discussion Orer tho Proposed Change in the Rules. Washington, Jan. 4. The presiding ofE- ? presented a message from the President, supplementary to that of Wednesday last, inclosing two copies of telegrams sent in cipher by the Secretary of State to the American minister at Pekin, which had been omitted. Referred to the committee on foreign relations. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, reported a resolution, which Teas agreed to, calling on the President for correspondence and information touching recent occurrences in the Island of Hayti, both as related to the state of the government there and to the seizure and delivery of the American vessel, the Ilaytian Republic. Mr. Sherman also, from the same committee, reported back favorably Mr. Edmunds's joint resolution as to the Panama canal, as follows: Resolved, That the government of the United FtatC3 will look with serious concern and disapproval on any connection of any European government with the construction or control of any ship-canal across the Isthmus of Darien. or across Central America, and must regard any nch connection or control a Injurious to the just right and interests of the United States, and as a menace to their welfare. Resolved, That the President be requested to communicate this expression of to views of Congress to the governments of the xuntric of Europe. The resolution was placed on the calendar, and Mr. Sherman pcave notice thatho would to-morrow ask for its consideration, and ho hoped it would receive the unanimous approval of the Senate. Mr. Stewart offered a resolution, which was agreed to, instructing the committee on private land claims to inquire and ascertain what prosecutions or suits have been instituted or authorized as to patents for Mexican private land grants in California, at whose instance and for whose benefit such suits have been instituted or authorized; what private counsel have been employed to assist in the prosecution; the terras and conditions of their employment, and what interest the United States government has in such suits with power to send for persons and papers. The Senate, at 12:23, resumed consideration of the tariff MIL Paragraphia 321 and 522 were passed over informally. Mr. Vest offered an amendment to Para- , graph 323, referring to Hamburg edgings, by adding the words neck ruffling and niching," but as Mr. Aldrich explained that Tvould increase rather than reduce tho duty on thesA goods, he withdrew it. Mr. "Vanco moved to amend the same paragraph, reducing tho rate from 45 cents rer pound and 15 per cent, ad valorem, to 40 per cent, ad valorem, and in the debate upon this amendment, Mr. Hawley asked Mr. Vance whether there was any nation which had any approximately just system of taxation, and if not, which of the nations was the nearest right! Mr. Vance replied that the system of taxatiou which was nearest right, so far as he was acquainted with them, was the English system. Mr. Hawley -That is about tho answer which I expected to get. Mr. Vance I see what yon call "the true - inwardness' of your question. Tho object is that you may charge that we are in tho English interest; that we aro following tho English system; that we are foreigners to our own people. But there never was a greater piece of hypocrisy than this pretense of a dislike to foreigners. Yon only dislike tho foreicrner when he brings something to selL When he brings in a blanket or a pair of shoes or anything else cheaper than you are willing to make and sell it, then you despise the foreigner and appeal to all kinds of prejudice against him. lint when the foreigner comes here to nndcrbid the American workmen and take the bread out of his mouth, you welcome him with open and hypocritical embrace. Mr. Hawley I hive no personal reason for disliking England or ihiglishmen. I disbelieve in the English system of taxation, and what I wanted was to get one Democrat, if 1 could not get more, to avow frankly the honest purpose of that party, that the adoption of free trade is the policy of thai party. .ot one time in fifty, on the Mump or in tho newspapers, were we ablo in th List campaign to get a Democratic politician or editor to tell the truth in regard to the position of their party. An avowed free-trade meeting was held in Bostou the other day. glorifying the campaign, glorifying the President of the United States, glorifying every effort in behalf of free trade, prophesying a glorious future foritaud the great progress to bo made under it. All wo ask of tho other side is that they 6hall tell the truth about the inevitable drift of their party that which the whole world knows, including themselves, to he the truth that they mean to hriug the country to tho adoption of a syMcm of taxation that will tax only articles of universal consumption practically a poll tax. Mr. Vanco replied to Mr. Hawley. He said: "We had onco m this country a philosopher with a good deal of hard sense, expressed in bad English, Josh Billings. . One of his apothegms was that in order.to bring up a child in the way ho should go, it was necessary for the parent to go that way once in a while. Now, in order to get - your political adversaries to tell you tno truth, tha Senatorfrom Connecticut should do so himself once in a while. (Laughter. He says that I am a free-trader, and that .the Dolicy of my party is absoluto free trade, and he bases that statement on my answer to his question as to which foreign system of taxation I most admired. I told him that the English system was the nearest right, meaning all other systems but our own. (Laughter on Republican side. Senators will contain themselves a moment, and perhaps tho laughter will bo on the other side of their face. I do not mean by that any approval of that system Tinder which we live. God forbid, as God did forbid thousands of years ago from tho topof3iount Sinai, when He said, Thon shaltnot steal.' Laughter and approval on tho Democratic side. I am not authorized to say what tho sentiments of tho Democratic party are. The Democratic party of tho United States has pronounced itself time and again in favor of a system of taxation of foreign imports that will yield suflicient revenues to tho government, and it has never advocated any other system. That is tho system which I prefer to the English or auy other system." Mr. Reagan abo defended tho Democratic party from the charge of being a free-trade 1 ho debate was continued at gTcat length, and participated in by Senators Dawes, McPherson, Vance, Gray, Coke and Morgan. Tho latter commented upon the free list contained in the substitute, and argued that the Republican Senators who reported and sustained it were pro tanto free-traders, and were not justified in applying that term to DemocFr i Mr. Hoar asked Mr. Morgan whether ho admitted the correctness of tho definition of a free-trader given by Professor Sumner, of Yale College, the high priest of freo trade, that a free-trader was a person who did not mean to havothe duties so arranged as to attract capital into any business where it would not otherwise tay. Mr. Morgan replied that when the President-elect would put that in a letter, or when a Republican convention would put it in a platform he would bo prepared to announce his position and so would tho Democratic Party. Mr. HoarIt is a simplo question. Is not tho Senator prepared to answer it now! Mr. Morgan lhave other things to attend to now. Do you adopt Mr. Sumner's definition? Mr. Hoar I do. I think it is a good definition. Mr. Vest read an extract from Garfield's ppeech in the House, to the effect that ho was for a protection which led to ultimate free trade; and aaid that tho Republican party had in lbtO elected that gentleman to the presidency of tho United Stater. Mt. Hoar That does not help ns in tho least as an answer to my question whether the Senator from Alabama considers himself and his associates free-traders in tho Ben of Profes-or Sumner's definition. Mr. Morgan In voting for a tax bill, I vote entirely with reference to tho proper and appropriate necessities of tho government of the United States a pur good government. I do not vote for levying any taxes with a view to advance any man's private interest whether that man be a capitalist or a laborer. If, in the casting of

my vote, a choice is presented between the encouragement of American industry and the encouragement of foreign industry, I Khali always give tho preference to American industry. If I find a tax law so framed as to induce American capital to diversify itself, I shall certainly make use of that power for that purpose; but I am not in iavor of taxing the American people for the purpose of inducing British, Trench, German, or other foreign capitalists, to como hero to engage in any manufacturing industry. Mr. Hoar Although we get back in prosperity more than we pay? . Mr. Morgan That is an impossibility. Tho question was then taken. Mr. Vance's amendment was rejected, and tho bill was then laid aside. On motion of Mr. Aldrich the Senate rules were so amended as to include among the persons entitled to the privileges of tho lloor the President-elect and tho Y ice-president-elect. Mr.' Coke introduced a joint resolution for tho appointment of a board of three engineer officers to make a careful and critical examination of tho northwest coast of the Gulf of Mexico, including the mouth of tho Brazos river, for a deep-water harbor for naval and commercial vessels. Referred. After a brief executive session tho Senate adjourned. The Nicaragua Canal Bill Tassed. Washington, Jan. 4. Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, presented a memorial of the Philadelphia Board of Trade asking that an appropriation bo made for tho establishment of houses of refuge at Point Barrow and East cape, Siberia, and for tho repair of the steamers Bear and Thetis. Referred. Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, then called up the Nicaragua canal bill, with the amendments agreed to in committee of tho whole, upon which the previous question was ordered before tho holiday recess. The first amendment, upon which a yea and nay vote was demanded, wa9that offered by Mr. Holm an, of Indiana, providing that nothing in the act shall be construed to commit the United States to any liability on account of tho Nicaragua Company, and requiring this proviso to bo printed on every bond, certificate of stock, or other obligation issued by the company. Tho amendment was agreed to yeas, 145; navs, S5. The amendment offered by -Mr. Wil6on,of Minnesota, providing that no certificate of 6tock shall be issued until at least 10 per cent, shall bo paid for in money; that tho stock shall not bo assignable until the whole of the same shall bo paid in; that no bonds in excess of the amount of capital shall bo issued until such paid capital shall amount to $5,000,000, was agreed to yeas, 102; nays, "5. The amendment offered by Mr. Bland, reserving to Congress the right to alter, amend or repeal this act, and to regulato tho tariff rates for the transportation of persons and property, was agreed to yeas, 83; nays, SO. Sneaker Carlisle voted in thenegative, in order to make a quoram. The amendment offered by Mr. Baker, of Illinois, reserving to the United States the right, at any time, to purchase property of the company at a price equal to its actual cost, with interest at the rate of 5 per cent, was rejected. The bill was then passed yeas, 157; nays, W. Tho bill is a Senate bill, and will now go to the Senate for action upon the House amendments. Mr. Reed immediately called up the resolution reported by him, yesterday, from tho committee on rules, aboGshing during the remainder of tho session the call of States for introduction and reference of bills upon tho first and third (suspension) Mondays of each month. Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, raised the point of order that the dav b jing Friday and devoted, under the rules, to tho consideration of privato business, the resolution, applying as it did to public legislation, couldnot now be called up. The point having been overruled by tho Speaker, Mr. Anderson raised tho question of consideration. Mr. Reed contended that the House naving. yesterday, ordered the yeas and nays on tho demand for the previous question on the resolution, the question of consideration could not bo raised. Mr. Springer alluded to the abuse of tho rule which allowed one man to use up suspension day by . demanding the reading of trivial measures introduced by him under tho call of States. Tho contest for the retention of the rul? was not a contest for the rights of the minority, but for the despotism of the one-man power. Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, entered his protest against any change of the rules for tho accomplishment of any spscial purpose, or to further the passage of any particular bill. The rufes were made not only for the orderly conduct of public business but to protect tho right of the minority and restrain an unbridled majority. While the government was a government of the majority, vet it was a goverment of limitations. Neither hero nor in any other legislative body in tho country could the majority do just what it pleased. The Constitution was made to protect the minority; tho rules were made to protect the minority, and in this countrya country of majority, though it were there was tho anomalous state of affairs that the incoming President was elected by a minority of the people of the United States. (Democratic applause. Mr. Reed ventured the suggestion that Georgia and some of the other Southern States might have made that minority smaller if they had desired. Mr. Crisp replied that the gentleman need not bo disturbed about Georgia. He could, in the utmost sincerity, assure tro gentleman that in no State was tho right, accorded by law to all classes of people to vote for whom they pleased, respected moro than it was in Georgia, lie Knew something about Georgia, and could, therefore, speak for her. He was not one of those who sat threo thousand miles away and criticised people about whom they'knew nothing except what they read in partisan journals. He would take some future opportunity to talk for Georgia on this question. Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, combated the idea which, he said, had taken possession of some gentlemen that, with tho responsibility of a majority, went also tho power to ride over the minority rough-shod. Anyone who would read tho rules of the Honse. from the first Congress down to tho present time, would find ono principle which had governed tho formation of all rules that they should be made to protect a minority from the despotic power claimed by the gentleman from Maine to be possessed by a bare majority of one. He could well remember many 'wrongs which could have been accomplished in the past but for tho rules of tho House, which prevented an injustice being done to the minority. On this occasion, and on all occasions which might arise hereafter, he would adhere to tho principle which had guided the fathers of the Republic in the formation of the rules of the House the principle of protecting the minority aga'nst the undue acts of an arbitrary and aespotic majority. Applause. Mr. Reed said that tho question presented was in no sense a partisan one. It was a question of the orderly conduct of the business of the House. Tho rules of the House were not for the protection of the rights of the minority. They had no other object than the orderly conduct of business. The gentleman from Pennsylvania IMr. 'Raoall thought that the obstruction to legislation, which the rules permitted, was only taken advantage of against unconstitutional and unwise measures. Ho had stood hero for twelve years, and ho had seenmore honest measures killed by the rules than dishonest measures stopped. The present system consisted in skillful maneuvering by a minority to kill bills which the wisdom of tho majority said were suitable and proper. Members were tho representatives of the people, chosen because they were supposed to bo honest, and manly, and straightforward, but under truth, they had got into the habit of trying to dodge upon every question. The effect of the rules upon members was to make them less manly and courageous. Mr. Cox, of New York, said that, according to the structure of our government, the majority and minority were one, and ho thanked God that one of the most shining jewels in tho people's crown of soverignty was the acquiescence of the minority to the will of tho majority. When a vote was taken in the chamber, the minority bowed to the majority and they became a unity. Mr. E. B. Taylor When the minority prevents a vot. what then? Mr. Cox That is its privilege tinder the Constitution. Mr. Taylor Is the gentleman suro that that is in the Constitution? Mr. Cox If it is not it ought to be. Continuing, Mr. Cox said that when a minority had once spoken and given its vote, its record , was ended. Never was it held that that minority was to be protected, except under the rules of the House. It was now proposed to break up one of the worst abuses of tho rules he had ever seen.

Tho rule was abused when ono member, by the puerile, trivial, little, uneducated idea of trundling up to tho clerk's desk a great big pile of hills to be read on Mondav, could kill without as much intellectual efforts as was required for a prize fight, any bill to which he was opposed; and that was statesmanship and deliberation, and a carrying on of the business of the country. Laughter, Ho was glad that the committee on rules was going to break down that abuse and make the rules conform to what was good order and business proceeding. Mr. Barnes, of Georgia, who is one of the chief opponents of tho Oklahoma bill, declared that he wonld openlv and manfully take advantage of the rules to defeat a measure which he deemed to be unjust and unfair. Mr. E. B. Taylor contended that tho minority had no rights except the right to discuss, the right to protest, and the right to vote. The right to decide belonged to the majority. Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, argued that tho question of consideration could not bo raised against tho resolution, as it came up to-day in exactly the same condition that it was laid down yesterdav, with the yeasand nays ordered on tho demand forthoprovions question. The Speaker said that the question raised was an entirely new one. The general ralo of the House was that a question of consideration could be raised against any question called up. In this instance the facts were that that the resolution had been reported yesterday as a matter of privilege, its consideration entered upon, and the yeas and nays ordered on the demand for the previous question. The Chair thought, and announced his decision with some hesitation and doubt, that nnder tho circumstances the question of consideration could not be made against it, and the Chair so decided. "The Clerk will call the yeas and nays on ordering the previous question," said tho Speaker after delivering his decision. "Don't vote," shouted Mr. Anderson, and enough of his adherents respected his injunction to break a quorum, the vote standing, yeas 106, nays 21. Adj ourned. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

Late jthis afternoon warrants were sworn out by Police-inspector Bonfield for tho arrest of J. J. West, proprietor, and Joseph Dunlop, city editor, of the Times, charging them of criminal libel for the publication, this morning, of an interview with tho wife of Detective Loenstcin, in which she charged her husband with acting as a "fence'' for thieves, and alleging that Police-captain Schaack was cognizant of tho fact. 5Ir. Dunlap was arrested in his room in the Times building and taken to the Harrison-street station, where he remained in a cell until 8 o'clock, when ho was released on bail. At about tho same time Mr. West, who had heard of tho issuance of the warrant, appeared at the llarrison-street station with his bondsmen. The warrant of arrest was at tho Central station, and some delay was caused bv tho necessity of sending for it. No sooner had Mr. West and Mr. Dunlop been released than they wero again placed under arrest. The charge was the same, but in this case tho complainant was Capt. Schaack. Bonds were promptly furnished, and tho two editors were allowed to go their way. Boy Killed in a Unique Manner. New Orleans, Jan. 4. At noon yesterday Noah Stropp, a thirteen-year-old white boy, was killed, at his father's home on Lepage street. The manner of his death is most unusual. All tho rear portion of his skull was blown away by a charge of water lired from an old army musket, a relic of the war. The boy ana his sister, younger than himself weTe playing together in the kitchen. Securing an old musket which had not been hied for twenty-seven years, he unscrewed the barrel from the stock, tilled the barrel with water and placed tho muzzle end in the lire of the stove. Calling his little sister 'come and hear the water in tho barrel boil," ho leaned over and placed his ear to the breech of tho weapon. As he did so, the explosion occurred and the boy was instantly killed, being blown several feet away and having his head nearly carried off. The barrel ofthe musket contained a charge which had been placed in it during the war. The boy was not aware of this and was merely in search of fun. Enforcing- the Iowa Prohibition Law. Burlington, la., Jan. 4. An important move for the enforcement of the prohibitory law took place yesterday. The sheriff made a raid on a wholesale liquor establishment, and seized about 200 barrels of whisky and 100 cases of wiue. The Hotel Duncan saloon was subjected to a call by the the sheriff last evening. Mayor Duncan is tho proprietor of the hotel. These raids have caused a great sensation among tho liquor and saloon men, and it is the general belief that a number of them contemplate removing beyond the limit of the State. Stop that cough. Brown's Expectorant Is only 50 cents a bottle.

A BIG HUMBUG PUNCTUBED

Eeflning Sugar by Electricity Proves to Be an Entirely Mythical Process. . Hott an Alleged Inventor Cunningly Manipulated a "Secret" for His Benefit, and at a Loss of $1,000,000 to Stockholders. New York, Jan. 4. The Evening Sun Frints what it calls "An almost incredible tale of gigantic fraud." It states that the Electric Sugar-refining Company has been duped to the extent of over a million dollars, and that its whole "secret process" turns out to be a humbug of the most barsfaced kind. Tho "secret process" was the invention of ono nenry C. Friend, who appeared in the trade about four years ago with samples of wonderfully pure sugar, which he said had been refined by his "electric process." About a year ago he induced a number of English and American capitalists to organize a company and buy the "secret process" from him. This was done, factories were erected, but no one was allowed inside of them save Friend, his wife and a few ignorant workmen. The rooms where tho refining was supposed to be going on were always kept securely locked, as Friend said his process was not patentable, and he could not afford to allow anyone to share his secret. In the meantime the stock of the company had been bouncing up until it was worth nearly $300 per share of 100 par value. Friend then began to unload, but suddenly he died. The officers of the comSany suspected nothing wrong until a few ays ago, when it was found that Mrs. Friend and all who had been connected with the factory had disappeared, Mrs. Friend leaving word that she liad gone to the West. President Cottrell, Treasurer Robertson and a number of stockholders proceeded to the factory and invaded the secret rooms. What they discovered made their eyes bulge out, and each and every hair on their heads gave imitations of the quills of a porcupine when he is fretful. There were a number of machines used in breaking cube sugar into smaller particles and in granulating tho coarser grades, and nothing else. There was no mysterious electrical apparatus by which the sweet stuff should be transferred as by a dash into the purest saccharine crystals; no wonderful cylinders, pots or pans charged with a purifying electrical current. There were crushers, and that was all. Investigation, at onco set on foot, showed how the great scheme had been worked. Not a pound of raw sugar had been refined in tho factory. Quantities of refined 6Ugar, chielly cubes, had been purchased by the operators and prepared in some secret spot with a chemical liquid which eliminated the ordinary impurities found in all sugars. This "doctored" sugar was then carted to the factory in bags purporting to contain raw sugar. The chemical used had crystallized tho cubes to a large extent, and when they wero broken they had a finer appearance and quality than 6ugar was ever known to possess. Mrs. Friend, and those connected with her, received a large sum of money in cash from tho company for the process, and a heavy block of the stock, w hich was disposed of, partly in England partly here, at a price away beyond its par value. Just how many persons were interested in the scheme does not seem clear, nor will the officers toll just how much money was paid to them, although they admit that, adding the cash and the proceeds from tho stock together, they must have realized a sum approximating $250,000. The scheme was cleverlv worked to the very last. Tho stockholders and the officers of the company wero kept in perfect confidence as to the future of the process until tho largest possible amount of money could bo sec urea, and then the bubble was allowed to burst. There is no such process as electrical sugar refining, and the bugbear of the Sugar Trust is dead. Treasurer Robertson said to a reporter this mornin g: "I am heart-broken over the discovery that wo have made," and he certainly appeared as if ho were. Continuing, he said: "I don't care so much about losing my own money, but I induced numbers ot my friends to invest in the scheme, and it is their financial ruin that distresses me. Then I had such high hopes that the scheme would bring fortunes to us all. Oh, wo'vo been shamefully treated and deceived. It means ruin to us. It's the most outrageous thing I over heard of. Ye,, wo have been over to the factory and seen the interior of the secret rooms. I would rather not tell all that they contain just yet. I am prenarine a statement for the nublic in which I will set all matters forth just as they are "Is there no prospect of being able to savo anvthing out of the wrcckf " aNot that I can see. The revelations found in tho factory prove the entire thing to have been a fraud. President Cottrell left for the West yesterday to try to find Mrs. Friend and endeavor to learn what chemical was used in the sugar. After it is treated with it it becomes a remarkably pure product. If this proves to be wortn anything it might save a total collap"-e, but I cannot have anv faith in it. I cannot tell i'ustyet how much stock is held here and in England. That will all come out in my statement." The results of to-day's investigation of tho affairs of tho Electric sugar-refinery givo additional evidences of fraud, ami President Cottrell left the city to-night for tho purpose of procuring the arrest of Mrs. Olive Friend and WTilliain E. Howard. London, Jan. 4. The sensation in Birmingham over the revelations regarding the Electric Sugar Refining Company has Deen increased by alarming cablegrams.
