Washington, Dec. u.—Stanley Matthew's concurrent resolution, declaring in favor of paying the United States bonds in silver dollars, was called up in the senate to-day, when Mr. Matthews spoke nearly two hours in favor of its passage. An amendment was proposed bv Mr. Conkling, converting the resolution into a joim resolution, which would require it to be sent to president for approval, and place it in all respects upon the same fooling as a regular bill. It is said that this was done in c.der, should the resolution ISB both houses, to test the fueling of the president on this question. Pending the consideration of the amendment, the senate adjourned.

THE SILVER BILL.

The silver bill reported by the senate finance committee will come up to-mor-row as the special order, and will be continued from day to day until disposed of. There is a disposition on the pirt of th« silver advocates to make an effort to get a vote on the Matthews resolution tomorrow before taking up the silver bill, the purpose being to adopt Mr. Conkling's amendment to send it to the presi dent to test his feeling, as previously stated. The advocates of silver also propose to sit out the silver bill and force a •ote upon it before the adjournment for the recess 011 Saturday next. In order to secure a vote upon the bill and give ample opportunity for discussion its friends propose to hold nigh sessions and allow opponents of the bill do all the talking. Senatur Allison, who has charge of the hill, will explain its provisions and make a speech in lavor of its passage, and after this, certain time will be given to its opponents. Senator Jones, of Nevada, doesn't know whether he cm remain silent, but thinks he will only speak against any amendments whatever being made. The indications are that as the friends of the Will are largely in the majority, they will be able to secure a vote on its final passage before adjournment on Saturday next. Of its passage there can be no doubt. THE PACIFIC RAILROAD CHAIRMAN

SHIP (QUESTION.

The house committee on Pacific railroads meets to morrow, and will probably determine the question of the chairmanship of the committee, which is vacant by reason of the resignation of Mr. Potter, of New York Speaker Randall desired to have a new rule adopted by which he would be given authority to appoint the chairman, but there now seems no prospect for getting such a rule adopted, and the committee proposes to proceed immediately to business. Mr. Throckmorton, of Texas, a warm advocate of the Texas Pacific scheme, is second on the committee, and according to univer.-al precedent should succeed to the chairmanship, lie does not, howeve care to be chairman, and it is probable that Mr. Morrison, who is third on the list, and who is opposed to granting sub sidies, will be chosen. As constituted, the committee is favorable to granting a subsidv to the Texas Pacific road

THE SENATE FULL AND COMPLETE. The admission of Mr. Eustis, to-day» makes the Senate consist of its full number—76. This is the first time all the states have been fully represented in ihe senate since March 3, 1873, Colorado having beet? admitted since then. The present senate is numerically larger than ever before.

THK NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD At the last session the Northern Pacific railroad company tried unsuc cessfully to have passed a bill extending the time specified in the act authorizing the construction of the road for its final completion. A bill of like character and purpose has been again introduced in the house, and referred to the committee on Pacific railroads. A petition from the officers of the company, urging the passage of the bill, recites that since the organization of the company more than thirty miles of branch road have been constructed in Washington territory, and that the work of construction on the main line west of Bismaick, in Dakota territory, is now in progress. The petition states that it is the purpose of the company to proceed with the work of constructing the main line as rapidly as a prudent use of means will permit, and to construct, equip and complete the entire road and branch -within sveh reasonable and sufficient lime as congress shall spe cify for that purpose. The time for completing the road and branch is limited by the original act to July 4, 1879. Up to this time all the conditions and requirements imposed by congress have been complied with.

THE VINCENNES STEAM MILL TRACT. Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, has introduced in the house a bill authorizing the commissioner of the general land office to convey to the city ofVincenoes the eighty acres of land now owned by the United States, located within the corporate limits of Vincennes, on both sides of the Wabash river, and known as 'the steam milt tract,' for the

P'he

urpose of being used as a public park. bill is now before the committee on public lands, and is as follows: •Whereas, The United States heretofore acquired for debt through the intervention of trustees, certain real estate in and near the city of Vincennes, in Knox county, Indiana, consisting of about

eighty acres of land, more or less, survey number five, township number three north, range ten west, second meridian, together with lot number one, and the whole ol lot number eight, of Harrison's addition to said city of Vincennes, commonly called 'the steam mill tract.' and 'Whereas The portion of the said land which lies within the limits of said city of Vincennes, i» in a strip of about thirteen rods in width, and commences on the Wabash river, and runs nearly south through said city, said city being built upon both sides of said land, and the streets abut on each side of said land and

Whereas said tract of land, or so much thereof us lies in the said city of Vincennes, would make a desirable public park for said city: therefore 'Be it enacted by Senate and House of] Representatives of the United States ofj America in Congress assembled. Th.# the Commissioner of the General LIIHO office of the United States be, and he id hereby, authorized to convev, by deed os otherwise to said city of Vinccnnes tso much of said tract of land as lies with* in the corporate limits of said city, consisting of about thirty acre6, to be used for a public park, or as much thereof as may be necessary for that purpose and that the portion or part of said land lying outside of the limits of said city be sold in parcels 36 mav br convenient and desirable under existing laws.

THAT PATENT OUTRAGE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-—In the United State district court, 10 day, a motion was called up to vacate tbe decree of the supreme court in the ca.-e of Cochrane vs. Dtener, the celebrated suit under the flour middlings patent, on the ground that the appellees had an understanding with the appellents hy which the case was virtually settled, and the argument presented in behalf of the defendants was, in consequence, meagre and insutficient, and hence the court was led to decide in favor of the validity of the patent. The result of the motion is of vast importance to the flour and milling interests of the country.

THE SUSPECTED STEAMER.'

Special Telegram to The Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Dec. 12.—The case of the steamer Estelle, which is detained at Bristol, R. I., under guard of a revenue cutler, on suspicion that she is intended to aid the Cuban revolutionists, was discussed at the cabinet meeting. Secretary Evarts presented a letter from the attorneys of the owners of the Estelle, demanding that she be furnished clearance papers, or, if further detained, the regular course of law be followed, so that her owners may meet any accusation in open court. They disclaim all intent to use the Estelle for unlawful purposes and deny that she is intended for service in aid of the Cuban revolution. The settlement of the question was referred to Secretary ^Evarts. There are two methods by "which tnia case can be disposed of one is to seize the Estelle by an order from the president for suspected violation of international law and treaty obligations to Spain, the other upon an affidavit that the steamer is intended for illtgal pur poses. The Spanish mioisier, at whote instance she is detainei, has up to this time declined to make such affidavit, as hv has no e^Jence to sustain it.

The actio* of this government has been based entirely upon the suspicion that the Estelle is intended for *erv ice against Spanish interests in Cuba. The demand made upon Secretary Evarts by the owner* of the steamer will requite action by the government, and it is probable the question will be speedily decided. NO APPREHENSION OF TROUBLE WITH

MEXICO.

The Mexican question was discussed at the cabinet meeting to-day, but no conclusion was reached touching the recognition of the Diaz government. The sensational reports being printed in some papers were alluded to, and- the opinion of the cabinet is that these stoiie6 originate with persons who are interested in promoting war, and who are desirous of preventing recognition of Diaz. No apprehensions are entertained by the presideni and cabinet that there will be anv disturbance of our friendly relations with the Mexican government. REPORTS ON CERTAIN EXECUTIVE NOM

INATIONS.

The senate committee on commerce to-day reported the nomination ofRoose velt to be colector and Prince to be naval officer of the port of New York adversely, Senators Gordon md Randolph being the only members of the committee who voted against making an adverse report. The nomination of General Merritt to be surveyor was reported favorably. In executive session of the senate, Mr. Conkling asked tor immediate action, but Whvte objected, and they went over until to-morrow, when a sharp contest is expected.

After the executive session, the Democratic Senators met in caucus and considered what should be their course of action an the New York nominations. It was developed by discussion that Thurman, Eaton, Dennis, Garland, Armstrong and Voorhees will vote with Conkling to reject the nominations of Roesevelt and Prince.

Washington, Dec. 12 —The house committee on A PACIFIC RAILROADS this morning voted that Throckmorton has succeeded to the chairmanship under the rules of the house and taat the committee decline to excuse him from serv-

ing. The house FOREIGN AFFAIRS committee to-day agreed to the bill pre-

ftared

by the sub-corn mitteee providing br the immediate distribution by the state department of the first installment received from Mexico on account of the awards of the mixed commission, excepting those for the Weil and La Obra claims, which the president is authorized to suspend for the present in order to make them subjects of diplomatic correspondence or possible investigation, if such course shall be ound desirable.
