eral Pacific railroads, ana increased from 50 to GO per cent, of tho rates paid by privateparties ;the amount to be paid to the aided Tacilic railroad for services performed for, transporting troops and supplies. The changes mad by the Senate committee on appropriations in the agricultural appropriations were few in number. The most important was the addition of a provision allowing manufacturers of aorfzhnm sugar to remove from bond distilled spirits of not less than 1'0 per cent, strength, free of tax, when used in the manufacture of torRhum sugar, and to recover tho spirits by redistillation, under suitable bonds and regulations. Other new items are: To enable tk Secretary of Agriculture to continoe the investigations concerning tho feasibility of extending the demands of foreign markets for United States agricultural products, ?2,.00; to enable the Secretary to collect and dissein-. inate information, regarding silk culture, to purchase and distribute eggs and mulberry trees and to conduct experiments in silk reeling in the District of Columbia, 5io.(X)0; purchase and distribution of seeds to drought sufferers west of the Missouri river, S1."j0.000l The committee increased from S'i63.000 to $723,000 the appropriation for agricultural experimental stations, and from 2T,C00 to $30,000 the appropriation for experimental sugar manufacture. SUBSIDY FOR THE HAWAIIAN CAKLES. The conferees ou the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill have reached an agreement on the disputed Hawaiian cable amendment. The agreement provides for tho retention of the cable clause in the bill, with an amendment reducing the amount to be appropriated for establishing and maintaining of the cable to not more than $150,000 for fifteen years, and requires that an amount equal to one-third of the snm appropriated hv tho United States shall be furnished in addition by the Hawaiian government. The committee also agreed to the Senate amendment raising the Mexican diplomatic mission to the tirst grade, and dividing Central America into two missions. Every point of difference between the two houses was adjusted. The conferees on the sundry civil bill Lave reached an agreement on the points of difference between the two houses. The paragraph rolating to the world's fair ia amended so that as reported it will appropriate $350,000. as proposed by the House, instead of S300.000, as proposed by the Senate, for the expenses of the government exhibit, and for the World's Columbian Commission $35.(C0 jA appropriated, . of which amount $."6,000 shall be for the board of lady managers. The bill as s greed npon appropriates 837.509.203. being $1,(501,175 less than as it passed the Senate and 3,20f,$r3 more than as it passed tho Hnnse. $7,771,081 more than thecurreut law and $1,301,719 less than the estimates. But one point of difference between the conferees on the legislative and judicial appropriation bill remains to be settled. 1 his is in reference to the charge exacted for converting gold bars into coin. The Senate amendment giving additional clerks to the Civil-service Commission was struck out, the Senate conferees being obliged to recede from their support of it .because its retention inigftt endanger the ultimate adoption of the bill. Late tonight the House conferees accepted the Senate provision giving tho mint and assay otlicers authority, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, but not otherwise, to exchange gold bars for gold coin, the Secretary of the Treasury being given discretion to impose for such exchanao a chatge which, in his judgment, shall be equal to the cost of manufacturing the bars. Tbe conferees on the Indian appropnation bill have agreed upon all the items of dispute excepting the Senate amendment appropriating. up wards of $2, 000, (XX) to ratify the treaty with the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians. A new conference will be asked. The House joint resolution which passed the Senate to-day and now goes to the President for his approval, appropriating 81.000.000 for the improvement of the Mississippi river provides that the money shall be expended by the Secretary of War, nnder the plans of the Mississippi River Commission, on the improvement of the river between the head of tut passes and the mouth of the Ohio river, with a proviso that levees shall not be built to reclaim land or protect private property, but may be constructed to improve navigation. Tho appropriation of $1,250,000 made by, the Senate to-day in the postoffice appropriation bill for the transportation of foreign mails, after the adoption of the Frye amendment, increases the appropriation made in the bill as it passed the House by &j00.000 the increase being due to the .passage of tbe postal subsidy law and the amount fixed in tho bill as it came from the House being necessary nnder existing law to pay for the transportation of foreign mails of the United States. Just as it appeared the final agreement had been reached by the conferees on the copyright bill, a new complication arose and the fate of the measure is still uncertain. Tbe amendment proposed by tho Senate conferees was found to be "unacceptable to the Honee managers. SENATE PROCEEDINGS.

House Postal Subsidy Hill Passed Conference Reports and Other Huslness. Washington, March 2. The Senate met at half-past 9 o'clock this morning. The general deficiency bill was reported, and Mr. Hale gave notice that he would ask for its consideration to-day. The agricultural appropriation bill was also reported, with a like notice. Trie credentials of James Henderson Kyle, as Senator from South Dakota, beginning March 4, replacing Mr. Moody, were presented and placed on file. Mr. Frye called up the House amendment to the tonnage subsidy bill, and moved to non-concur in the amendment, and that thei conference asked by the House be granted. Mr. Reagan expressed the wish that the House amendment be concurred in. rather than that the danger of introduction of a more objectionable bill from the conference committee be incurred. The subsidizing of ships, he held, was not goiug to increase commerce. The only way to increase either imports or exports was to remove tbe shackles of the tariff. The bill was, simply and nakedly, a gift to the shipowners of the country. Mr. Morrill moved to concur in the House amendment. Mr. Vest expressed himself opposed to all manner of subsidies, and stated his objections to them. . The subsidy did not apply merely to vessels to be built hereafter. The lied Star line, with four Americanbuilt ships running from Philadelphia, would receive a large subsidy without expending a single dollar even for repairs, and the Pacific Mail Company will receive S6U0.G00 a year without an' further expenditures. The e companies were already making money without any aid from the treasury. lJut at the risk of appearing inconsistent he was willing, if it would terminate the matter and prevent bringing no a worse measure, to agree to the House amendment. Mr. Cameron stated that as to the Red Star line it had been doiug busiuess at a loss. The question being on Mr. Morrill's motion to concur Messrs. Cockrell, Harris and Keaean stated their intention to vote against it, and Mr. Vest stated his intention to vote for it because, otherwise it was certain that the conference report would make a worse bill. After voting down half a dozen amendments offered by Messrs. Vest. McPhersou and Morgan for free ships, reduction of subsidy, etc.. the vote was taken on Mr. Morrill's motion to concur in the House amendment for postal subsidies. It was agreed to yeas, 37; nays, 33 as follows: YEAS. Aldrich, Farwell, Pujrh, Allen, Hawley, Fanders, Itlalr, Histcock, hawyer, Carey, Hoar. fchennau, Carlisle, lurall. Phoup, Casey.

member of the select committee on commercial relations with Canada. r .MANDKRSON SUCCEEDS I NO ALLS. MrV&nerruan offered a resolution electing Senator Manderson of Nebraska as president pro tempore, to bold office during the pleasure of tbe Senate, and Mr. Gorman of e red a resolution tendering the thanks of tho Senate to Mr. Ingalls for "the eminently courteous, dignified, able and absolutely impartial manner in which he has presided over its deliberations, and per

formed the duties ot i'resiuent pro tempore." Both resolutions were agreed to, and the oath of office was administered by the Vice-president to Mr. Mandersou, who was escorted to the desk by Mr. ln- . The credentials ot John is. uordon. as Senator from Georgia, replacing Mr. Brown, were presented and placed on hie. House bill relating to the treaty of reciprocitv witb the Hawaiian Islands was passed: also House joint resolution appro priating a million dollars for the improvement of the Mississippi river to be immediately available. The postoihee appropriation bill was then taken no. and Mr. I rye, in place of the amendment which he had offered on Satnrdav night, offered one appropriating $1,400,000 tor transportation of foreign mails. Mr. McPherson spoke of the amendment as the subsidizing of a "lot of old hulks, capable of floating most of them wooden ships." Mr. Frye contradicted that assertion. Mr. Mcpherson inquired how many of the Pacific Mail Company's ships were wooden vessels. Mr. Frye There is no authority in the bill ju3t passed for the employment of any wooden ships. Mr. Morgan moved to amend Mr. Frye's amendment by inserting a proviso that the Postmaster-general may employ any ships that are owned exclusively by citizens of the United States. Mr. Plumb argued against Mr. Morgan's amendment, and Mr. Morgan argued in support of it. Mr. Cr.rlisle asked .Mr. Frye how ranch of tbe proposed appropriation could be expended in the next fiscal year for transportation of the foreign mails. Mr. Fry o gave the amount as between 400.000 and S'sOO.OOO. He had proposed l;400,000. because that was just about tbe net profits of the Postoffice Department from the foreign mail service, the only mail service from which there was any profit. The conference report on the Indian depredations claims bill was here presented and agreed to. AMOUNT FOR FOREIGN MAILS CUT DOWN. Mr. Carlisle moved to amend Mr. Frye's motion by reducing the amount for transportation of the foreign mails to $1,250,000, and it was agreed to. Tbe question being on Mr. Morgan's amendment, allowing contracts to be made with vessels owned exclusively by citizens of the United States, Mr. Plumb moved to add to it the words "and constr icted in the United States." Mr. PlnmVs amendment was agreed to yeas, 32; nays, 18. Mr. Morgan then withdrew the amendment, remarking that the vote just taken had annulled the purpose that he had iu view. Mr. Frye's amendment, as amended, was agreed to and tbe bill passed. Mr. Plumb offered a resolution continuing the committee on the Pacific railroad debts duriug the recess of the Senate, with power to sit at Washington. Agreed to. A conferende report was presented and agreed to on the bill as to the life-saving appliances on steamers on any lakes or bays of the United States. The bill suspends tbe operation of that law for one year from March. 18Vd. Messrs. Plumb, Allison and Blackburn were appointed Senate conferees on the postoffice appropriation bill. The Senate then, at 2 p. M., proceeded to consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill. Mr. Carlisle made a point of order attains t the committee amendment allowing sorghum sugar manufacturers the use of distilled fipirits free of tax. The point of order was submitted to the Senate by the Vice-president, and, as the amendment was ruled to bo iu order yeas, 29; nays. 23 the amendment was then agreed to without a division. Messrs. Cockrell, Coke and Gorman voted with the Republicans in the aliirmatlve, and Messrs. Edmunds, Evarts, Hawley. Hiscock. Morrill, Piatt, Sherman and Wilson with the Democrats, in the negative. - Mr. Stewart offered an amendment appropriating 20,000 for the collection and publication of information as to the best methods of cultivatiug the soil by irrigation, and extending the limit of time from Jnly 1, UJ)1. to Jan. 1, l&Xi. Agreed to. T1IE PUHK-FOOD BILL AGAIN SHELVED. Mr. Paddock moved to amend by inserting the pure-food bill. Excluded on a point of order. The bill was then passed, and the Senate proceeded to consideration of the general deficiency bill. Consideration of the bill was temporarily suspended, and a resolution authorizing the committee on rules to bit during the recess was reported and agreed to with an amendment, ottered by Mr. Hoar, instructing the committee to consider and report what changes, if any, ought to be made in the observance of the Senate m recard to paying honor to its deceased members. A messase irora the President returning without his approval the Senate bill conferring jurisdiction on tbe Court of Claims to inquire into and determine bow much the hulls of the United States donble-end-ers Agawama and Pontoosuc cost the contractor, Geo. W. Lawrence, above the contract prieo, 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 a dangerous precedent for the government to declare that it wonld make up to a contractor the loss be had sustained by reason of the lowness of his bid and the subsequent unexpected advance in the price of material. The Senate then took a recess till 8 r. M. The vote by which the Senate last week passed House bill to pay judgments of the Court of Claims for army supplies under the Bowman act, was," on motion of Mr. Harris, reconsidered; all the Senate amendments which had then been agreed to were disagreed to, including the Chouteau claim of $749,000, and the bill was again passed without any amendment. The reason assigned by Mr. Harris for this course was that the amendments could not possibly be acted on in the House, and that if this course were not followed the whole bill would fail. Consideration of the deficiency bill was proceeded with. The two items to pay to the widows of Cbief-jnetice Waite and Justice Miller one year's salary $10..VX) and $10,000 tv ere opposed by Mr. Berry as an unauthorized gift of the people's money, and were advocated by Mr. Blackburn, who said it was tho settled practice of Congress to give a year's salary to the family of every Senator and Kepreseutative and every official of Congress who died in public service. Finally the vote was taken and the items were agreed to yens. 4'J; nays, 10. The negative votes were given by Messrs. Bate, Berry, Carlisle, Cockrell. Coke. George, Jonesof Arkunsas, Plumb, Keaganand Vest. The next subject that provoked discussion was the proposition of the House to give a month's extra pay to the officers and employes of the House. Mr. Plumb spoke of tho nnconscionable extravagance of tho two bouses, and said that while the pay of Senators amounted to $100,000 a year, the pay of those who waited on them amouuted to 000,000. The House item was struck out of the bill yeas, SI; nays. 21. llefore tbe Senate had got away from the Riibject of the extra pay Mr. Paddock introduced into the discussion a new subject the Conger lard bill and read oue of many telegrams which he had received praying him to vote for Mr. Hoar's motion to lay aside all the appropriation bills ,and pifcs the Conger lard bill without debate. The digression was wound up by the declaration ou the part of Mr. Vance that the Conger lard bill was dead. All the committee amendments having been disposed of, Mr. Spooner moved an amendment to increase the appropriation for the public buildinir at Dallas, Tex., to 150.000. Agreed to. The bill was reported to the Senate, but final action was reserved on tbe bill aud amendments till to-morrow morn in?. The conference renort on the legislative appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. after an explanation by Mr. Allison that all control erted points bad been arranged except two those as to clerks of committees now receiving a per diem compensation, and as to the clerks to the Senators now receiving a per diem compensation both these classes having been placed on

Western Alliances Will Form a Gigantic Grain and Live-Stock Trust. It Will Be' Patterned After the Whisk j "Combine," and Is Intended to Kegulate Prices What Mr. JlcGrath Says About It. Topeka, Kan., March 2. A new Alliance movement contemplates the formation of a huge grain and live-stock trust, including Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. Frank McGratb, president of the Farmers' Alliance, says that the project is one of tho results of the failure of the Alliance legislatures to pass certain bills. Legislation, he says, is too slow a .means for the achievement of tho Alliance's objects. Mr. McGrath says that district Alliances are being formed in every congressional district, and provisions are being m;;de for building cold-storage aud grain depots. Each district Alliance will be made up of delegates from subAlliances. In this way a constant communication from individual members of tho Alliance is to be had. "We will' know how many cattle each individual member of tbe Alliance nas on hand," said Mr. McGrath, "and he can hold them without selling for need of ready cash. A record of these facts will be kept. No individual member will sell bis grain to option men or baofcers. but, when be is obliged to sell, the xgrain will be taken by the Alliance. The same tbing will follow with cattle. We will have agents m Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis, who will keep the district Alliances posted as to the market and the demand. Upon this information the demand will be supplied, and no more, at a fixed price, determined by tho Alliance. No option wheat will bo on the market. There will be no speculating on grain before harvest. The four States in this trust will practically control the wheat and cattle markets of the United States. The commission each day will wire farmers to send in a certain amount of wheat or cattle, as the case may be. calling on the ones who are the hardest pressed for cash. The amount demanded to supply the market that day will be apportioned among the districts equally and in turn apportioned by the district Alliance. No fanner who is a member of the Alliance will sell his products until called upon. By this plan wheat fluctuations in prices will be avoided. Other State Alliances aw expected to join the movement. "The hardest thing we have to deal with is fixing the price. We mean to cscertain the exact cost of tbe product and add a reasonable profit to it. This will give us a standard price that can be easily maintained. The new scheme is modeled in detail after tbe Whisky Trust. Of course, you will say that our principles will not admit of it, but we have decided that we must tight the devil with tire; that is, we must tight trusts and combinations with trusts aud combinations. While this scheme will reverse matters by putting the stock men and grain men at our mercy, we do not think any injary will result. The scheme looks visionary, perhaps, but will surely be a go. Merchants and Farmers at War. Dubuque, l, March 2. A war to the knife has been commenced in this State between the State Business Men's Association and the Farmers' Alliance. The latter is engaged in establishing co-operative stores throughout the Stated To this the Business Men's Association objects, and has sent due notice to all jobbers that they must either stop selling goods to the Alliance or the members of the association will stop buying goods of them. Parties were in the city to-day to purchase goods lor the Alliance, but the jobbers refused to sell them. The Alliance threatens to retaliate by refusing to patronize the association people. RAN INTO A FIELD OP ICE. Arrlral at New York of the Crew of the Steamer Iowa, Which Foundered at Sea. ' "New York, March 2. The British steamer Chester, Captain Tolle, from Rotterdam, Feb. 10, arrived at quarantine at 6:34 this morning. Tbe Chester is the steamer which was reported by the lied Star line steamer Pennland as having been seen on Feb. 23 taking oil the crew of the Warren line steamer Iowa, which had met with some disaster. The Iowa ran into a field of ice and was cut ! through. The Chester saved' her entire crew and all the cattlemen who were on board. Captain Tolle, of tbe Chester, who was seen to-day, made the following statement: "We left Rotterdam for this port on Feb. 7. At 8 o'clock on the morning of the 22d we sighted a fourmasted steamer which seemed to be broken down. We kept on towards tho vessel. Wo made her .out to be the Iowa, from Boston, to Liverpool. Captain Owens, of the Iowa, reported that he had seen ice the previous night, and was very badly injured. The steamer was still covered witb ice, and a large piece of canvass at the bow ebowed where the crew had sought to patch up the injury to the vessel and stop the inwar( llow of water. We signaled to tbe Iowa, o tiering assistance. Captain Owens reported that he wished to be reported, and intended to proceed on the way to the Azores. We remained near the sinking vessel for a time, when it became apparent that she could not remain long above water. We went alongside, and Captain Owens decided to abandon the craft. We 6ent over four boats and transferred the crew to the Chester. Among those rescued was a stewardess and an injured sailor. The work of rescue was begun at 9 o'clock and continued until noon, when we left the wrecked ship. In all probability the Iowa went to the bottom six or seven hours after we left her. This was in latitude 40 1' north, longitude 4ti SI' west, Twenty-Four Oyatermen Drowned. Richmond, Ya., 'March 2.

CAUL, Probably the Young Lady Hoped There Would Jeer Be Another. Chicago Tribune. The Professor was making one of his occasional calls. "I am pleased to find. Miss Laura," be was saying, "that you appear to take an interest in this subject of the architecture of the middle ages. It has always had a strong fascination for me. I confess, however, that of late 1 have been studying with more interest, if possible, the problem of emigration. Has it not occurred to you that there is need of a deeper insight into this great question?" 'Why, yes. Professor." replied the young lady, "I suppose so, but " '1 knew it could uot fail to present itself to your mind. Miss Laura, as one of the most absorbing of topics. You have seen, I dare say, the report read by Dr. William Farr before the London Statistical Society, of 1853, in which he gave several very interesting tables showing the value of agricultural laborers' wages and the necessary cost of their maintenance? ' - "Why. no. Professor, but" "But you are familiar, of course, with the general resnlts of his investigations. Jnst so. They were published, as you may remember, in all the leading scientific and industrial journals. More recently. Dr. Becker, chief of the German Statistical Office, estimated the average wages of the German emigrant aud the average margin of living, which he finds to be much closer than among the English emigrants. Doyou recall his exact figures?" "Why, Professor " "But, of course, you do, or at least you are familiar with his conclusions. Take, too. the question of Chinese immigration. The testimony collected by the House committee on education and labor in 1878 or was it in lSTCf " "1 am sure. Professor, I " "You are correct. Miss Laura. The testimony was collected in 1878 and the report presented in 1879. You remember the protracted debates that followed? In the Senate there was only one man who stood up for the natural right of a human being to emigrate wheresoever he chose, regardless of race prejudice. It was let me think a moment. Do you remember what Senator it was!" "Why, Professor " ; 'Ah! 1 remember. It was Senator Hamlin, of Maine, as you were about to remark. Miss Laura. It was Senator Hamlin. Mr. Sargent, of California ever met Mr. Sargent?" Why" "Genial and lovable soul. Miss Laura. Full of interesting facts and figures. But bless me! I had no idea it was getting so late. Did not the clock strike 10 a moment ago!" ' I think it tried to strike. Professor." said Miss Kajones, wearily, "but it gave it up." The Fate of Jews In Russia. P. O. Hubert, Jr., In the March Forum. A few days ago a Jewish physician of some intelligence, whose diploma had been withdrawn from him on the ground that he was too full of sympathy for some poor wretches suspected of nihilism, assured me that the Russian Jews who have reached the United States feel like singing hymns of thanksgiving. Since his arrival in this country, a few weeks ago, this physician has been visiting tho tenement-houses and workshops of the east side of Xow York city, in order to gain some notion of tbe life of his fellow-countrymen here. "Their condition may seem miserable to you," he said, "but it is paradise compared to the horrors from which they have escaped." When one realizes that, in the vast area east of the Bowery populated by Russian Jews, the crowding, the filth, the noise and the stenches are beyond description, and that the majority of these people work from fourteen to eighteen hours a day, often beginning their labor at dawn and continuing it nntil they fall exhausted upon tbe piles of clothing that they make for the cheap shops, he can see that the fate of the Russian Jew who has to stay in Russia must be hard indeed.
