From WASHINGTON. A dispatch from
Washington, dated Monday evening, has
the following:
The Senate were engaged for five hours to-
day on the treaty. Senators Davis of Ky.
and Thurman made speeches Though not
opposing the treaty, they severally indicat-
ed amendments which they desired made. 1t
is said the latter gentleman expressed doubt
as to the wisdom Of Incorporating in new
rules or in the law Of nations prohibition
against neutrals building or equipping yes
sells for hellgerents, believing that this sub
iect ought to be- left to the operation ofmu-
nicipal law. Thus far but one Senator has
mentioned how be will vote on the treaty,
and this will be in opposition to 1t. Dur
ing the proceedings to-day, near the close
OF the session, Vice President Colfax, feeling
I sick, requested Senator Pomeroy to occupy
his place Directly the latter gentleman
! reached the chair and Mr.. Colfax left the
/ platform. On his way out be suddenly be
came dizzy, and would have fallen to the
/ floor but for the efforts Of Mr.. Flagg, prin-
/ cipal legislative clerk, who conducted him
! from the Chamber Major Mcdonald, chief
clerk, and Capt. Bassett, doorkeeper. imme-
dately repaired TO the scene, as did the
senators in that vicinity. The Vice Presi-
dent was conveyed to his room, where he
was laid upon sofa and doctors Bliss and
Mccoy promptly summoned They imme-
diately applied proper remedies, when the
patient seemed much relieved. His sickness
/ was probably caused by the close atmosphere
in the Senate Chamber, as all doors were
closed, being in executive session. The Vice
| President remains at his room in the Capitol
and tonight is conversing with his friends
! Several senators said this evening that the
Senate will probably vote on the ratification
Of the treaty On Wednesday or Thursday
while another remarked that an effort vii
be made tomorrow to complete the business
even if night session be necessary.

The San Francisco Bulletin says that
alfalfa, the new grass discovered in California
in regard to which 50 much has been written,
is nothing but the luccrne grass, well known
in the Atlantic States. Still, It IS great
thing for California. as it ID the only grass
well adapted for dairy purposes which will
live through the six months of dry weather
an dis very productive. The Bulletin says
that ten acres sown to alfalfa will produce
more forage than one hundred acres of ordi-
nary pasture. The editor has seen patches
this year which had been cut twice, the yield
each time being very large, and three more
crops are expected from the same land. This
grass sends It's roots down to moisture, lives
and grows during the dryest season, pro
yided it once gets good start, and when the
land is rich and well titled the yield is won

The Right to First.class Coaches liz:
PAYMENT Of First .clasS Fare.

At last a suit has been brought
against a railroad company, based on
the right of person who pays for a
frst.class ticket to ride in tirst-class
car. The custom has always been to
store a gentleman, unaccompanled by
a lady, Notwithstanding he may hold a
first-class ticket, into car crowded with
a heterogeneous mass of reeking flesh
and tobacco odor, to the great dlscom-
fort of those who do not use tobacco in
anv of it's forms. Railroad men seem
to argue, from the fact that some men
smoke aud chew tobacco, that no man
is averse to sitting in tobacco juice up
to his ankles. and to have the rest of
his body enveloped in cloud OF smoke.
Some men have not attained that de-
gree of endurance, however. Among
them is Benjamin II. Rugg, who took
massage on the Cincinnati and Muskln'
gum railroad in July, 1870. Having
raid for first.class ticket, he naturally
sought the first-class car, but found Its
doors locked. The other car was filled
with second-class passengers and smoke
Being unwell, he declined entering
that car, but waited until the conductor
made his appearance. OF him he de-
manded admittance to the tirst-class
car. Admittance was not only refused,
but the conductor put him off the
train. For damages resulting the
com plainant asks $4,000.
