SENATE
/ Mir Benton laid upon the table the map of
the route TO OregOs over which Wh,tne, s
Trail road will have to pass, referred 10 by
4 hun yesterday.
Mr.. y. also presented another letter upon
thc subject ct the hafboI al the mouth oi the
Columbia river. which. WAS referred 10 the
Committee OH Printing.
/ Mr.. Benton, from the COMMITTEES ON Com
ference on the Army Appropriation bill, made
a report stating that they had nset the COM
mIttee OH the part oil the House, and had
been unable Go come To any agreement upon
the difference existing between the two Hou-
ses, aud the Committee therefore recommen-
ded that the Scnarc insist upon its own a
mendment, and upon its disagreem nj TO the
amendment OF the House.
The report was sdoPicd.
The House bill 10 define the boundaries OF
the State OF Iowa was passed
The bill TO sell the Mineral Lands on Lake
Super or "copper" mines, &c.) was taken up,
and the subsiitut offered by MIR Woodbridge
wassgrred to snd pass d.
] NJ. Johnson Of Md. moved TO take up the
bill TO repeal the PHO, laws OF 1897, with the
view to make il the special order Tor Monday
at liz o'clock. The motion was lost.
! The Sub-Tressury bill was then taken up
the question being on Is passage.
MI. Webster thought 1t his duty to call the
attention OF the Senate tn state nent i'm the
Union ot last night, relative TO the new T riff
bill, in which the editor saws THAT the value
OF the goods taxed is to be settled not by the
importers invoice, but by competent and
skiliul appraisers. They are TO sppraise the
goods at their actual market value ia our ports
in New York or Philadel phia not at Canton
or at Manchester.
more enormous error had never been com
mitted. Exactly the reverse of what was sta
ted was true. The new law is that the goods
are to be appraised at their true market value
in the principal markets OF the country from
whence the importation shall have been made
or in which the goods shall have been origin
ally manufactured or produced, as t,e case
may be. The editor should b. more careful
in making such statements.
Mr.. Webster then proceeded TO the subject
Ter consideration, aud briefly pointed oul
his objections To- the Sub Treasury system aud
the evil consequences which must result from
1t, should the measure 90 into operation.
Mr.. w. concluded by suggesting to friends
OF the bull whether ii would not be better TO
have 1t postponed until the next session.
Mr. Niles continued the debate in favor Of
the bill, and after some remarks from Mcssrs
Evans, Simmons aud Miller againstit,
Mr.. Evans replied to the defence of the
system made by Mr.. Niles Mr.. +. did not
think it very good policy To pass this measure
was calculated to increase foreign imports,
and which would stimulate them very much.
These stimulate had been the cause OF all
the monetary embaTrassinents OF the Govern
inent. The collection OF the entire revenues
IN specie might require an important amend
mcnt 10 tins bill al AN early day.
Mr.. Niles defended the general principles Of
this bill, and the idea OF dvorcing the Gov /
from the banks. He argued that the !
country had been great losers from Banking,
particularly during the suspension OF specie
payments.
Mr.. Evans replied. lie wanted the Sens-
tor from Connecticut 10 tell him, IL he ,ould.
Df any Bank BY whirh che Government had
ost any money in 1887. II no oie would tell
him where These losses had accurredhe would |
then say that the fiousTnElcH had not lost !
one tnrthtmg By these benkssirom the suspe,,- |
sion nf 1897.
MIR Evans said that during the war Of 1912
the Banks had kept the Government in funds
The war would have ended most ingloriously
but Tor the facilities afforded by the Banks
They loaned money TO the Government and
kept, it alone aud some OF the money i'm
Treasury notes deprecated TO 20 per cent be-
low their nominal value.
The debate was further continued BY Mes
ST.. Simmons OF X. T. Miller OF n. J, and Cal
houn. The question was then taken and the
Sub-Treasury Bill passed by the following
