The momcntous question of precedence be
tween different members of the royal family
is still the cause of much uncasiness. AS the
Duke of Edinburgh ranks next TO the Prince
Of Wales, the question seems to be, shall his
wife, the daughter of the car OF tussia, on
state occasions take rank with him, or be
separated from her husband and march in
the rear Of the Princess Louise. AS at for
meI drawing room of the queen the Russian
duchess had apparently yielded the point, the
matter was supposed to be settled, but at an.
other "drawing.room" given by the queen on
the 23d, the Duke Of Edinburgh and his duch-
css were conspicuoUsly absent. The Times
next morning, in 4 courtly paragraph, &c.
counted for the absence by saying "thc truc
reason for the absence was that her highness
has hopes Of an event which will add to her
happiness and that of the Duke Of Edin-
burgh." But the C0uH JOnrHal spoilt this

the sight OF eye sight OF other having been
previously lost by the of both hands by the
loss OF both feet by any other injury resulting in
total and permanent helpessness shall be entitled to
pension OF $50 per month; and this shall be in lieu OF
pension of s9 Is per month to such person By
said section. Portded, That the of pension
shall not be granted by the injuries herein
specified, unless the have resulted in permanent
total helpessness requiring the regular personal aid
and attendance Of another person.
This class of pensioners now receives S3l 80 per
month. The most important amendment reported
by the Conference Committee the restoration of
the word regular" in the description of the per-
sonal aid and attendance required by the pensioner
in the place of the word constant which was put
in by the Senate. An Interpretation has sometimes
been given to this latter term in the Pension Office
more restricted than that to the word regular, and
the object of the amendment was to make sure that
no pensoner permanently and totally disabled
should be deprived of the benefit of this law.
The second Pension bill is as follows:
BE IL enacted That the Attn section of the act entitled
"An act to revise consolidate and amend the laws
lating PENSIONS" approved March 1879 be amended
by adding after the first proviso the following Pro
rided further That all persons who, under like circum
stances, have lost either at above the elbow
leg above the knee, shall be rated in the second
class and shall receive s2i per month PrOried further,
That no artificial limbs, Communication therefor, shall
be furnished such persons shall be entitled 70 pen
sions under this act"
The effect Of the amendment made by the Con-
ference Committee is to rate all pensioners who have
lost leg above the knee in the same class with
those who have lost an above the elbow, and 10
give them S24 month. The present law divides
such pensioners into two classes. Those who have
lost leg above the knee and are unable to use an
artificial limb now receive S2l month while those
who an artificial limb receive SIS. The pro-
vso however requires the latter class to purchase
their own artificial limbs

MKNr PLANS OF THE CUSTOM HOUSE RING
PROSPECT FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE BILL
t8I TELEGRAPH 10 THE TRrBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, June S.-The Senate did some
earnest effectual work on the Moiety bill to-day
II leading Senators had been disposed to postpone
this matter longer the flood of kilograms received
to-day from importing merchants of Boston, New
York. and Philadelphia who had become alarmedfor
the fate of the bill would have convinced them that
these men were in earnest in their demand.
The only important debate that took place to-day
was on the amendment of the Committee to restore
the section authorizing the seizure of books and
papers Senator Bayard led the attack on this pro-
vision, and although else except Senator
Cameron made a speech against it, he had the sup
port of all the Democrats and many of the best men
on the Republican side. Senator Scott, while he
sustained the report Of the Committee, made very
able speech exposing the outrageous features of the
old law, and illustrating by rehearsal of " the
Phelps Dodge case" This brought Senator Bout
we'll to his feet in defense of the action of the
Treasury Department and of Jayne, and while he
disclaimed any suspicion that VIM. Z. Dodge was
personally in any way responsible, broadly limited
that there must have been somewhat IN the case OF
an intention to cheat the Government. de could
not understand otherwise why there should be two
sets of invoices
When the vote was taken on the question OF in
sering this obnoxious seizure question every Demo
crat present voted In the negative, and with the
following named Republicans defeated it by a ma
jority of g. The Republicans were Senators Alcorn,
Cameron, Carpenter, COnkling, Conover, Howe
Lewis. Mitchell, Patterson, Roberts, Wadleigh, and
Washbun. Among those who voted in the affrma-
tive were Senators Anthony, Boutwell,, Chandler,
Seott sherman and others
The rejection of this amendment probably assures
the passage of the bill The remainder of il. it is
believed will meet with general approval both In
Senate and House, except the last section This is

Committee, host of suits have been begun against
everybody whom the informers suspect of the least
irregulariy and these will, of course, all be pend

though the Senate should strike out this section to-
