CONGRESSIONAL.
WAsHIsGToN, February 20.
SENATE.

Mr.. Hosr presented petition from
the citizens of Cape Cod, demonstrating g
against the passage of Mr.. Ssrgents bill
10 organize the coast guard and lite-ssv-
ing service.
Mr.. Sargent said the reports of the life
saving service emsnating from the
Treasury Department showed disgrace
tul state of inefficielcy In the service. II
was we'll known that in some instances
where officers and men of the life saving
service were in sight of vesseIs needing
relief, they were afraid to man the boats,
and other persons had come forward and
performed the service. Persons were
appointed now to please political friends,
and not on sccount of their fitness for
the work. He thought that sailors sccus-
toned to the sea and used to military
discipline would improve the service.
The Chair laid before the Senate
House bill 10 amend section AIS OF the
revised statutes, which provides when
ever there shall be vacancy in the
office o. pension agent, by death, resig-
nation, or delay in qualifying after sp-
pointment, the President may, il he
deem it necessary, appoint some person
to perform the duties OF pension agent
for period not to exceed sixty days, or
until the vacancy can be filled in the reg
ular way.
After some discussion the bill WAS laid
aside for the present. Consideration was
then resumed of unfinished business, the
bill 10 authorize long bonds for the invest
ment of savings.
Mr.. Wallace explained the provisions
of the bill sl length. He said there are
two purposes in the bill, one to provide q
fund for the investment OF the earnings
of the poorer classes. The argument for
this is the insolvency oil savings banks,
SO recent and so wide spread. The
remedy seems in tie wise use OF our pub.
lie debt, as fund for that purpose. The
other purpose is to initiate the policy OF
diffusion of the public debt among our
own people by popular loan at low
rate of interest, to run fifty years, to ease
the burden of taxes and keep our
surplus earnings at home. 1t antago-
nizes syndics.es, and appeals 10 our
own people. It looks beyond National
banks and fuds an anchor for the pub
lie faith with the people themselves.
Pending discussion, the bill was laid
aside temporarily, and the Senate re-
sumed consideration of the bill consid-
cred in the morning. in regard to the
payment of pensions in New York City.
The amendment of Mr.. Sargent was
agreed TO, and the bill was read third
time and passed, yeas, AS rays, 8.
Mr.. Edmunds called up House
bill to authorize q special term OF the
Circuit Court OF the United States for
the Southern District OF Mississippi, to
be held at Scranton, jackson county,
with the understanding it should be con-
sidered tomorrow, subject to call FOR

The latest sensation here is the fight
from their homes in this place OF two
young ladies-Miss Msy Cowen and
Mss Frank Campbell. The girls left
home clsndestinely this morning and
took passage over the B. & st. q. Rail-
road, since which time nothing has been
heard from them. Miss Campbell stated
to some one on the train that she was go
ing to Bsrnesville, but it is supposed
that Pittsburgh WAS their objective
point. Miss Cowen is daughter OF
Judge Cowen, one of our leading citi-
zens. She is about seventeen years OF
age, while Miss Campbell is perhaps q
year younger. The latter lived with q
relative, William S. Campbell, one of our
wealthy citizens: Both girls have excel
lent homes, and it is mystery what
could have induced them to run away.
Mr.. Campbell and Mr.. Frank Cowen,
brother of May, have started in pursuit
of the runaways.

time in May, perhaps later, and when 1t
reaches the Senate there is no knowing
when II may get through that extremely
deliberative boGy. Certainly not before
midsummer, and only then after beng
torn to pieces with amendments. Alto
| gether, the Senator thinks there
are few chances OF passing
tariff bill this session. Al
though something of free trader,
the Senator thinks that the present tariff
laws ought not 70 be disturbed, at least
for the present He says that the simple
sgitation Of the subject overturrs and
enbsrrasses business and tho trade basis
of the present law. He says that Row
there is not single interest throug ghout
! the country that is settled and stable.
Business men don't know whst to do, for
they are uncertain what Congress will do,
and he thinks that SIX months of such un-
certainty will do the country more in
| jury than financial psnic, which 1t will
end in. The Senator says if he had his
way he would appoint commission OF
practical men, informed on the various
| questions embraced in the tariff, who
! should draft bill and submit 1t tor dis
cussion and amendment for one year,
and thst when passed by Congress it
should remain in force for ten years or
some given period. Then the manu-.
tacturer or dealer would know exactly
what to expect, and could adjust his
business accordingly.
