PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS

Tho Montana Case Laid Aside and the Anti-Trust Bill Passed by the Senate. Congressmen Make an Appropriation to Sappi the Silcott Bcficiencj InterestiDfi: Delate on Increasing the Kavj. Washington. April 8. In tho Senate today Mr. Edmunds gave notice that as eoon at tho Montana election case could be disposed of the judiciary committee would endeavor to bring in the anti-truat bill, as reported by that committee in obedience to the order of the Senate. Among bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar was the Senate Mil to amend the interstate-coinmerco act. Mr. Edmunds introduced U joint resolution (which will bo referred to the literary committee), directing the literarians of Congress, of the Senate, of the Ilouse and the Department of Justice, respectively, to deliver extra or duplicate copies of lawbooks to the law department of Howard University. He said that he had heard with astonishment that a law-book in the District of Colombia, connected with a college that existed under the anthority of the United States had deliberately and on consideration refused to allow a person of some African blood, and in every respect a gentleman of extraordinary ability to attend its law lectures on account of his having African blood in his veins. The Howard University has also a law department, and he had introduced the resolutions so that law-books, not needed for the public service, might be donated to the Howard University, and that that portion of their fellow-citizens who were denied equal rights in other nniversities in the District might have a chance to learn some law. Mr. Call offered a preamble and resolution, which went over till to-morrow, reciting the published newspaper statements as to the packing of the juries in the Northern district of Florida, of which Charles E. Swayne is judge and Joseph Strippling district attorney, and instructing the judiciary committee to tako evidence in tho matter. Tho Senate then resumed consideration of the Montana contested election case, and Mr. Spooner continued his argument in favorof the right of the Kepublican claimantsMessrs. Sanders and Power. Much of his speech was directed against Governor Toole, of Montana, for his coarse in reference to the meeting of the Legislature; and another lara3 portion of it to show that aliens who h id merely declared their in tention to become citizens, but had not been fully naturalized, were not entitled to vote and to have their votes counted. If the Senate were to adopt the minority views and to seat Messrs. Clark and Maginnis, it would seat men whose title de pended on the votes of men who were not citizens of the United States and who were no more entitled to vote in Montana than if they had never crossed the ocean. Mr. Fugb. a member of tho committee on privileges and elections, argued in favor of the minority report, declaring Messrs. Clark and Maginnis entitled to seats. When he had spoken for uout half an nour it was lonnd that tnuu was not a quorum present, and Mr. Pugh, not feeling well, tho case was laid aside. Mr. Vcorhees sent to the clerk's desk and had read a telegram received to-day from Helena, Mont., stating that at the election in that city yesterday tho Democrats had elected their Mayor by over SCO majority, and that tho Republicans, who usually had a majority of from 400 to 6,000 had carried only one ward. Mr. Spoouer8 sarcastic comment upon the telegram was that "that ought to settle it," ana -Mr. Hoar's was that that w&s the strongest argument yet broduced on the Democratic side. The Senate then took up the anti-trust bill, as reported from the'judiciary commit- . tee. When the bill had been 'read, Mr. Sherman said that while the bill was not all he wanted, he believed that it was the best that could be got, and he would, there fore, vote for it as it stood. After further debate the bill was passed yeas, 52: nays, 1 3ir. liiougett. me bin as passed is ex actly as it came from tho judiciary com mittee on April 2. Adjourned. Silcott Deficiency Supplied. .Washington, April 8. -The morning hour of the House was devoted to passing minor bills. Mr. McAdoo of New Jersey, from the committee on naval affairs, called up tho bill to prevent the enlistment of aliens in the naval service of the United States, and it was passed. Mr. Adams of Illinois called np tho mo tion to reconsider the vote by which the House defeated the bill making appropria tion to supply the deficiency caused by the Silcott defalcation. Mr. Holman of Indiana moved to table the motion to reconsider. Lost. The motion was then reconsidered and the bill wa passed. The Hot O then went into committee of the whole. Mr. IJutterworth of Ohio in the chair, on the naval appropriation bill. Mr. Holman of Indiana expressed his s a. j.t ?- m - astonisnrnent at me xnagnuuuo oi tno ..naval nrogrammo marked out by the Sec retary of the Navy and initiated by this bill. Mr. Peters of Kansas criticised the pro2 I M I'll . 1 . A A 1 vision ox mo uui ior xuree oaine snips. What was the object of building these snipsi , Mr. Boutelle To fight Mr. Peters To fieht. To ficht where? If we are to be involved with any foreign nations the war will not bo on the Atlantic or Pacific ocean. Continuing, Mr. Peters said that the strongest mandate was tho diplomatic mandate. Mr. Boutelle inauircd how that mandate was to be enforced- Mr. Petor9 replied that it would be employed in preventing war. Mr. Boutelle inquired whether the gentleman would send tho diplomate out to meet tho British man-of-war. Mr. Peters replied that we now had a navy which could carry a diplomato to any port in any foreign country. The dav for battle ships on tho ocean had passed. 'This country would have no more naval warfare. He did not believe there was any clanger of any foreign nation declaring war against the United States. Foreign nations knew that the United States was as unconquerable as any nation under tho shining sun could be. Mr. Dolliver of Illinois said that the people of the West were in favor of tno reconstruction of the American navy. With them it was a matter of national pride. The country could not get along with mere diplomacy. His idea was to make the Nation so strong on the sea that back of 4iplomacy would be the strength of the American people, manifested not only in protecting the coast, but also in protecting our commerce and citizens in every port of the world. The bill was then taken up by ectiocs; but without completing its detailed consideration'- the committee rose and the House adjourned. QUEER ANTICS OP A I0USG MAN. Richard Proctor's Eccentricities Lead to His Incarceration in an Insane Asylum. St. Joseph, Mo., April a There is much excitement here over the strango actions of Richard Proctor, tho only son 5 of the late famous English astronomer, who died in S'ew York a year ago of yellow fever. Proctor, who is a young man of twenty-one, has until recently been looked upon as unusually intelligent, and likely to succeed his father in fame as an astronomer. About two months ago, however, ho began to act strangely, and took exquisite delight in wandering abroad at night and hurling Joge stones through the windows of private residences. At his own home he frequently would chop the furniture to pieces and toss the debris into th street. Two weeks ago 31 rs. Proctor took him to Denver, where she lertured, and ho amused himself in the, Pullman car by appropriating the raiment of sWpiug l-m;ilo passengers and dressing in tho garments, and was only induced t aurrmdur them to the owners by force.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

Calvin t Brlte's New Purchane, and "What Is Likely to lie Done With IU l General Manager Bradbury, of the Lake Erie Ac Western, said last evening that the Brice syndicate had a deed of the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati & Louisville road, and that as soon as a few minor matters were shaped np by General Manager Saul they"; would take possession of the property, probably on the 14th. He stated that it would be operated as; the Cincinnati division of the L., E. Sc W. The securing of this property by the Brice syndicate increases the mileage of the Lake Erie & Western system one hundred and thirty-three miles. Speaking of its physical condition, he said between Fort Wayno and ConnersviH there is but one and a half miles of iron rail; the rest is laid with a steel rail weigh ing fifty-six pounds to the yard, most of which has been placed in the track recently. A large portion of the road needs ballasting with gravel, and also new crossties. Bridges are in fair condition, but it is the intention of the new management to at once place the road-bed and the equipmont in good condition. The road is better provided with power than with pas senger and freitrht cars. In speak ing of the extension of the road southward, ... . . . . no remarked that that was a matter in which he was not posted, but probably tho road would be extended southward to some prominent railroad center. When the road was projected Louisville was to be tho terminal, and it might be that this project would yet be carried out.' Although he ex-; pressed, ignorance of the intention of. the Brice people, from the tenor of his conver sation it seemed more likely to be Cincinnati. The route would not be as direct as from Connersville. It is claimed that a road twelve miles shorter than the C, H.' & D., from Connersville, can be built, and, aside from the heavy expense of getting into Cincinnati when at the city lim its, it is estimated, could be built at a cost not to exceed $13,000 a mile. After the Brice syndicate reach New York the exteu-' sion question will bo taken up, and some definite action taken. An impression provails in railroad circles that the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dav ton will oiler such "favor able terms that the idea ox building into , Cincinnati wHl be abandoned, and the C, H. & D. will do their business. A Change In Policy Contemplated. Since the days of Thomas A. Scott the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has done but little in the way of reaching into new, territory, more especially in the West. The several roads now in the system west of Pittsburg were practically in it the day Mr. Scott died. Since his death there havo been reorganizations of tho various com panies on a different financial basis, but no actual extensions have been made. A Philadelphia paper intimates that the able men at the head of the Pennsylvania affairs are looking to extend their lines west of Chicago through obtaining an interest in the Chicago, Milwaukee & StPaulroad, and it is thought that a portion of the new issue of stock, amounting to &,000.000, will be expended in bettering the company's position west ot its present terminals. It is thought that the Pennsylvania Com pany will be forced to take some such action for self-protection. Tho Vanderbilts have, without doubt, the Chicago & North4 western under their jurisdiction, if not full control, the Northern Pacific bids fair to become part of the Baltimore & Ohio's great through line, and there is really no way of estimating what changes may be brought about in the map of other Chicago roads within the next twelve months. P., C. & St. Zm Stockholders. Tho annual meeting of tho stockholders of the Pittsburg. Cincinnati & St. Louis . road was held in Columbus, O., yesterday. The annual report for' 1SS9 shows an increase in gross earnings, as compared with 1SS8, of S485.G14, and a decrease of expenses of $3,071). The net earnings for ISSOwero CI CO! Of.nftO Tim anmlna Via tri f rf 18S0 was $G26,257. ' Deducting losses on leased lines, $h0,194, leaves a surplus on all lines for 1889 of $2S6,0C2.r4, against a deficit upon all lines for 1888 of $95,254.74. Tho tonnage on all lines increased 070501 tons. The number of passengers carried on all lines decreased 20.418. The agree ment for tho proposed consolidation with the Chicago, St. Louis cc Pittsburg Railroad Company was not submitted. A special meeting for that purpose will bo called later. The old board of directors was re-elected, with the exception that Henrv D. Welch was chosen in the place of Wm. Thaw, deceased. Personal, Local and General Notes. Assistant General Manager Barnard, of the Big lour lines, went to Chicago last night. Tha annual meeting of the stockholders of tho Cincinnati, Wabash & Michigan will be held to-day. General Manager Bradbury and II. C. Parker, traffic manager of the Lake Erio & Western, are in Chicago. John II. Martin, general agent of tho Bie Four at this point, is so ill with rheu matism as to conhne him to his home. W. II. Folsom has been appointed pur chasing-agent of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road, vice F. C. Butzo re signed. J. V. McNeale auditor of the Indianapo lis, Decatnr v W estern road, who has been out of health for some weeks, is off on a health-seeking trip. H. H. Kendrick, auditor of the Pittsburg & Lake Erio road, has resigned to take tho position of auditor of the Louisvillo, ov Albany & Chicago road. It is stated that T. B. Burnett, superintendent of the Peoria & Pekin road, is soon to resign to accert a position on one of the roads running out of bait Lake City. William Gibson has been appointed priv ate secretary of William M. Greene, gener al manager of the Big t our lines, vice T. A. Switz, whose resignation was mentioned several days ago. J. Ramsey, jr.. assistant to President Ingalls, is expected to be in tho city to-dav. to deride which of the bidders shall bo awarded tho contract to put in an elevator at tho Union Station. It is stated that tho Big Four people nra. in a quiet manner, favoring the buildinir of the proposed road from New Albany to In dianapolis, and would gladly jom them in making a good Chicago line. L. A. Boyd, superintendent of the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western road, who has been conhned to his room for threo weeks by illness, is so much better that he expects to bo at his omce to-day. General-manager Woodford, of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton lines, who has been .hast for some days, hgnnng on a deal to take under control of the C. If. & D. certain western lines, is expected home today. 1 D. W. Holbrook. roanacer of the Lake Shore & Eastern railroad, has tendered his resignation, to tako effect May 1. after which date the omce will be abolished and the duties assumed by the managing trustee. Tho Richmond TelegTam intimates that the citizens of Richmond are not pinning their iaun so mucn to tne promises of the Mackey syndicato as in times past, so manv of the proposed schemes failing to material ize. - The meeting of the stockholder, nf 1ia Indianapolis, Decatur Western, called for to-dav. has been postponed thirtr d.-iv. It is stated, howtver. that everything is moving alcng smoothly so far as the reorganization of tho afiairs of the company is concerned. The high waters at Cincinnati the last week of March told seriously on the earn ings of the Big Fonr, practical stopping its ireigui nusiuess at Cincinnati, inn earnings the fourth week in March dropped ftS.701.:7 below those of the last week in March. 1S9. but for the month an increase is shown this year of $10,531.31. From one of the organizersls learned that tho work of federating tho brotherhoods of engineers, firemen, brakemcn and switch men in the Eastern States is moving along with much more promise than in the Western States. Confederations have been formed at BnfTalo. Jersey City, New York, llobokeu. and many other points. With tho taking effect of the spring timetable tho Pennsylvania and the Vandalia will shorten trjo running time of trains Nos.. 20 and 21. The run between Indianapolis .and Now York will bo made In twenty. three

hours, between St. Louis and New York in

twenty-nine hours. 1 he time, respectively, is now twenty-four hours and twenty-nine and a half hours. At the meeting of the freight department of the Central Trallic Association, at Chicago, yesterday, it was resolved that rates on iron and iron articles be made on the basis of 6ixth class in car-loads, and on fifth class in less than car-load lots. This is a reduction granted at the urgent request of the iron ioen. It will become efiective April 17, and remain in effect until Sept. 1. The rumor that there is to be a change in the presidency of the Baltimore & Ohio roads meets with a prompt denial from Andrew Carnegie. Mt is too foolish to talk about," exclaimed Mr. Enoch Pratt, the close friend of Mr. Carnegie. To think that Mr. Carnesie would relinouish a busi ness of 850.000,000 a year to come to BaltiPendleton is ready to vote a handsome subsidy to the Ciucinnati, Wabash fe Michigan road, providing the company will, in extendingit eastward, go three miles out of tho way and strike Pendleton. As the same parties which own the Big Four (old Bee-line) now own tho C, W. A: M., it may bo as well for all parties to abandon the idea that the C. W. fc M. will be extended south of Anderson, Ind. -A company has been organized to build a belt road at Milwaukee. The capital stock of the company is placed at $2,500,000. It is the purpose ox the company to build a belt line around the citv. starting at a point near the junction of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western and Chicago &. Northwestern railways, and taking in Wauwatosa. North Greenfield, Bay View and St. Francis, and enter tho city from the south. Tho estimated cost of the shops and round-houso which the Big Fonr is to erect at Iiudalo. about six miles out of Cleveland, is $200,000. The shops will have a capacity to build or repair ten engines at ono time, and the Tound-house will hold fifty-four engines. The company has had a very handsome offer for the ground on nillUU lUUir ptcoellli BUUpo BlitUU 111 UJDIDland, where ground is too valuable to be utilized for shops. There are now emnloved in the Union Station 234 persons. This statement includes not only the officers and employes of the Union Railway Company, but the officers and employes of the other roads. which have within the last twelve months taken quarters in the second and third stories of the building. This number; will probably be increased fifty more as soon as tho rooms remaining in the third story are properly fitted np for othces. The Pittsburg & Western owners still show a determination to extend their line westward, and it is believed they are interested in the talked-of purchase of the Ame'rican Midland road. The American Midland, which is in the hands of a receiver, is to be sold, aud it is believed that the P. &. W. interest will purchase it; then, by building forty miles of road, the com pany would have a line as far est as lort Wayne. To do this the P. &, v. people would, of course, be obliged to convert the Toledo, Delphos & Western narrow-gange into a standard-gauge road, lhat therittsburg &, Western can get as -far as Fort Wayne at a comparatively small cost will not be doubted, but from that point to Chicago the cost would be much greater per mile. . CALLINGS FROM THE COURTS. The Street Railroad Company Not Chargeante with Street Improvements. Judge Ilowland rendered n 'decision yesterday on a demurrer to the com plaint in the mandamus suit of the Vestern Paving and Supply Company against the Citizens' Street-railroad Com pany, to compel tho latter to pay its share of the Pennsylvania-street asphalt im provement. He held that the demand could not be enforced against tho defendant. The present street-railway company, he said, is 'operating binder the same conditions that bound the old company. I "By the ordinance of lSGi,"J!the Judge continued, "tho company was required, when a street was improved, to do its own bowldering between its rails, and to improve the required space outside its tracks on the best terms it could raako by contract or by the employment of its own force of trackmen or laborers. - and ing ior or executing mo vvurn. cicepi its inspection and approval. Now, by the ordi nance of 1884 the city asserted the right to make a contract for the whole work, including the portion which theretofore the company had the right to do, and to bind the company by the terms ot that contract. in the making of which it had no part. The original ordinance once accepted consti tuted a contract between the old company and the city. It is plain that the new obligation imposed by the latter was in vio lation of the contract and not binding on the company unless assented to by it. Whatever right existed to assess the prop erty of the company must be the creation of contract. When the com pany asked admission to the street. tho flaw required tho consent of the city to be first obtained. To the giving of that assent tho city could attach abso lutely any conditions, including any streetimprovement burden which it might deem proper. Once fixed and accepted, theso be come a contract which neither the city nor company could change without the assent of the other. We seek in vain for any law which could justify the terms imposed by the ordinance of 18S4. It does not show a cause of action existing in the plaintiff contractor or against the defendant." Judge Howland further said that he had looked into the matter very closely, and that ho deoided tho question as he did .with some reluctance, as he believed .that tho railroad compauy should bear its. share of the expense on street improvements. "Some time," he continued. "men may learn that the time to consider j Ai ai. . a. i it i-' aim us. iuu terms ut a contract is wucu it la entered into, and not when it is to be en forced. The power of a court is restricted to the enforcement of a contract as made. It does not include the power to make or modify them." Addison C. Harris, attorney for the paving company, filed an amended complaint in tho Circuit Court, claiming !that the strest-railroad company agreed to tho conditions of the ordinance of 1884, in order to secure the privilege of coming into the city to buy and operate the plant of the 'old Johnson company. f On Trial for Cutting a Contractor. ! Frank Pi pr is being tried by a jury in tho Criminal Court on a charge of assault and battery on Vanleutine Ileitz, a con tractor. Ono Saturday last November, Piper, who is a bricklayer and who was working for Heintz, quit the tatter's em ploy. They had somo words over the mattor, but made it up aud parted apparently good friends. The. following day .they ' met at Fisehingeis saloon and renewed tho dispute. Piptr claims Heintz called him a liar, whereupon he pulled out a pocket knife and severed an artery in Hcintz's arm. Fischinger separatei th man. Ami some bvstanders bound the contractor's arm tightly with a hand kerchief, probably saving his life. The latter, it is alleeed. was ill several weks from the loss of blood and the injury. Tho case will occupy several days, as there are many witnesses to be examined. The Complaint of a Plumber. , Fred L. McGahan has brought suit against the Indianapolis Natural Gas Company for $5,000, for injuries received in an explosion last June at No. 144 East New Y'ork street. a house occupied at the time by Mrs. Ella Kilburn. McGahan is a plumber, and was called to the house in question, to investi gate a break in tho natural gas pipes. He nlleces that the defendant company had been notified of a leak before he visited the houso. and that ho repeated the notifica tion, but that no attention was paid to it. He was acrain summoned to the house and went into the cellar to investigate the trouble more thoroughly. The lighting of a match caused an explosion which injured lcuanan aud :irs. iviiDurn ana wrecKea tho house. Got L-eis than Ife Claimed. The judges of the Superior Court met in general term yesterday, and were occupied with the suit of Henry Stacy against the State. It came before them under the new law requiring all disputed claims against the State to be brought before tho general Trm or me Jiarion superior VOurt. tne derision nf that tribunal boinir HhaI SHpv superintended the putting in ' of the engines aud boilers in tho female department of the Insane Hospital, some years ago, ana was auowea wu xot tno

work. He claimed $3,000, and tho matter has been in dispute ever smee, having been

oeiore tne legislature several times in one shape or another. The suit, which was for $1,900, was disposed of yesterday by the court allowing Stacy $990. A Fight Was Too Much for Her. The suit of Mrs. Pearl Day against the Citizens' Street-railroad Company is on trial before a struck jury in the Circuit Court. Mrs. Day was a passenger on the Brightwood car at tho time of the fight be tween the driver and tho passengers, not lone atro. and alleges that she was so pros trated by the affair that she sutiered a long illness.
