amendment which he proposed to offer to the
third section. That amendment was, prOvid-
ing that the tax or duty paid on all distilled
spirits when the same are withdrawn, shall be the
amount of duty or tax which would have been
paid if paid when such distilled spirits were
put in bond.
Mr.. sayler stated that was provided in the
resolution. he had no objection to it except
that it was mere surplusage.
Mr. Butler-Well, if you admit that amend
ment withdraw all objection to the resolu-
ton.
MIR. Lapham regarded the measure as prop
osition to lend to distilers for two years at five
per cent, the vast revenues which they pay to
the treasury, and that too, at period when the
revenues were diminishing-when the House
was told that it will be difficult to balance the
books at the end Of the year-when gentlemen.
on the other side were crying, Economy!
economy! Reform! reform!' Such propo-
sition could not have his approval.
Mr.. Frye feared the object of the bill was to
give time for the whisky men to obtain a re-
duction in the tax.
Mr.. Harrison opposed the bill, not only as
being class legislation, but as being in favor Of
certain class of the whisky interest, not the
whole interest. II was for the benefit of that
whisky which improved by age. The kind of
whisky which brought an immense revenue
into the treasury would not receive the slight
est benefit from it.
Mr.. Burchard supported the bill. 1t did not
endanger the revenue Of the country. 1t was
not much in the interest of the distiller as
in the interest of the revenue.
Mr. Fort supported the bill. He denied that
it would reduce the revenue, because the rev.
enue came, not from the amount put into
bond, but from consumption. It might cause
temporary reduction, but in the end all the
tax would be received.
The general debate having closed, the bill
was read by sections for amendment.
Mr.. Butler offered the amendment suggested
by him and it was agreed to.
Mr.. Conger moved to make the interest seven
per cent. instead of five. Rejected.
Mr.. Conger then moved to make the interest
six per cent, Rejected, II to IS.
The committee then rose and reported the
bill and amendments. The amendments we're
agreed to, and then the bill passed, yeas 118,
nays 116.
Mr.. Sayler then moved to reconsider the vote
| by which the bill was passed, and moved to lay
that motion on the table, on which Conger,
| owing to the closeness of the vote, called for
| the yeas and nays, which were ordered, and re-
suited yeas 121, nays los. So the motion to
reconsider was laid on the table.
Mr.. Foster, from the committee on appro-
priations, reported the bill appropriating thirty
| thousand dollars for the contingent fund of
| the house. Passed.
| Mr.. Springer called up the report of the
committee on elections in the Massachusetts
| contested election CASE the report of the ma
| jority being that Dean, the contestant is en-
titled to the seat and that of the minority being
| in favor of Field, the sitting member. After
an opening speech by Mr.. Springer, the House
! adjourned.

JAY GOULD,s GAME.
He Gets Good Solid Snub from Senator
Mcdonald.

Mcdonald.
Washington Special to Chicago Times
1t Is Judge Thurman's intention, at an
early day, to press the consideration of his
bill forcing the Union Pacific railroad to
give the government good security for its
Indebtedness. Under the ruling of the
supreme court the interest is not due until
the maturity of the bonds. When this time
comes it is folly to suppose that the govern
ment will ever realize the enormous sum
that the accumulated interest and amount
of principal will aggregate much larger
sum than the entire road and its properties
are worth. The Union Pacific railroad com
pany, after having had the use of tho road
and its immense profits for years, would
throw up the road to the government rather
than pay their Indebtedness.
Jay Gould is understood to be close
pressed in carrying the stock of this road,
and he is here watching very closely any
legislation looking toward forcing the road
to pay its dues to the government. Any
such result would undoubtedly dspress the
stock, and possibly prove his ruin. He has
been successful operator with the Legi:la-
ture at Albany, and he has transferred his
Albany tactics here. His mode is to come
directly to his men, and employ no third
party or agents.
Senator Mcdonald, who is member of
the judiciary committee, before which the
legislation on the subject of the Union Pa
cific Is pending, went to his room the other
day, and he discovered little man In black
curled up in his most comfortable easy
chair before the open CRATE. The little,
keen, whiskered, darkly attired visitor
| arose with nOnchalant air when Senator
| Mcdonald entered, and said:
| "You are Senator Mcdonald, presumed"
YES said Mcdonald.
'My name is Jay Gould, of New York."
said the visitor.
"Ah!'' was the reply.
''You are member of the Senate judiciary
! committee, are you not!'
81 am,' said Mcdonald.
II have very heavy interests pending be-
fore your committee" said Gould, with great
emphasis upon the word "heavy." And
come to see you about them,' slowly and
carefully emphasizing the word "see,'' as he
looked Mcdonald straight in the face.
Gould's manner put Mcdonald upon his
guard at once. He arose and said in a frig-
idly cold tone of voice, "Mr. Gould, you
cannot she or talk to me upon the subject of
Union Pacific interests except in the judiciary
committee room and before the committee"
Gould laughed in reply, in sort of con-
temptuous way, as if he had no faith in Nc
Donald's protestations, and began in a
wheedling way, after the fashion of the old
gentleman in black, to talk about his inter
ests, how much they were, and what great
sums were involved, when Mcdonald put an
end to the conversation by putting on his
coat and hat as he said, 'Mr. Gould, I am
going out of this room. l shall not listen to
you, and think you had better go, too"
This ended the conversation, as Gould saw
that Mcdonald was in earnest.
