WASHINGTON, May 11-Internal revenue

The nominal defeat of the Northern Pa
citic Railroad bill causes much comment
Il was backed by an immense LOBBY acuoD,
and was not regarded as detrimental to the
Southern Pacific Railroad, IS the most OBJ
iectiopable features Of the former were not
| in the latter
The nays on the bill for appropriating
| $500 600 for State Department building,
were:
Navs: Messrs. Casserly, Chandler. Crsgin,
| Harlan, Harris, Howard, Howell, Kellogg,
Morton, Pratt SchurZ, Sherman, Spencer,
Sprague and Yates.
The most of these gentlemen opposed the
| bill on other than capitol moving grounds.
Mrs. McFarland-R Richardson's card covers
nine columns of the New York Tribune,
Bills were introduced in the Senate to-day
granting lands to the Alabama and Tennessee
Railroad Company, and for subsdlZIng
| semi monthly steamship line between New
York and Valparaiso. Chill, and other
] Pacific ports via the Panama raliroad OF
available Isthmus route.
| The appropriation bill was considered,
| and an amendment adopted enlarglng the
| capitol grounds at the expense OF S3O0 0OO.
| House A bill was offered and referred to
repeal the act of 1890 authorizing the States
of Maryland and Georgia to levy tonnage
| tax on vessels.
| A bill was introduced providing for the
better protection of the frontier OF Texas.
The tariff bill was taken up and discussed
| to adjournment.
| The House is in session tonight.
| To.day's Tribune says: Mr.. Wilson con-
sents, we are sorry to see and say, that the
| clause of his army bill reducing the forces
| to Twenty-Five thousand men shall be struck
out on the argument of Southern Senators
that it won't do to take any troops tromithe
South. and that of the Western Senator'S
that additional forces are needed In the West
to fight the Indians.
1t does not appear to have been suggested
to the Southern gentlemen that a safer
nolicy for their section would be to rule by
love and amnesty rather than fear and
prescription; that the Western Senators
will discover eventually what they do not
appear now to know; that it is cheaper to
feed than to fight the Indians. and as the
people have forgotten the past animosltles
toward the rebels and heartily favor redeem
ing the present promises to the Indians,
we suggest that the further military occu-
, patton of the South and an expensive war in
The West are not absolutely essential to the
we'll doing of the republic.
The sub committee of the House Com
mi,tee on the Decline of American Com
merce. have agreed 10 report to the general
committee bill providing for the estab
hshment of six steamship lines, and the
incarceration of four companies, allowing a
} subsidy of $3.50 600 to each company. One
| line between Boston and Portland to Gias-
cow and Liverpool, touching at Queens
town, sailing weekly. Another between
Philadelphia and Baltimore, and Southamp-
ton and Bremen, sailing each alternate
week Another between New Orleans ano
Hamburg, touching at Southampton; and
another from New Orleans to Rio de Jane'ro
touching at Havana, and at points III the
J West Indies.
The Postmaster General will be authorized
to contract with these companies for the
transportation, for tea years, of the United
States mails, once in each week, between
the United States ana tne points apo't
, Damed.
A bill has been introduced in the Senate
appropriatiDg $500, 900, to be refunded tol
, customs tariff wrongfuly collec'ed on Rus
: sian hemp. The discrimination agains
that article in the tariff bill, making it S4t
aud MANILA and other hemp S25 per ton
being Incompatible with the Russian
treaty.
The Senate Committee on Public Lands
to-day reported MIR. Kellogg's bill giving
ten sections of land per mile to the New
Orleans, Baton Rouge & Vicksburg Rail
road.
1t is learned from we'll informed source
that the Senate Pacific Railroad COMMITTEE
will report Mr.. Keilogg's Southern Pacii'
Railroad bill with amendments. Th'
friends of the Southern Pacific road seen
, confident that the bill in some shape WI
pass both houses at an early day.
Nothing tangible is known about Collecto
! Casey's reported early removal: Secretar,
, Boutwell, knows nothing to indicate suci
intention on the part of the President.
