WAsHINGTo

WASHINGTON, April "a.
Bill establishing a retired list tor non-com-
missioned officers, was taken up
Mr.. Allison offered an amendment that the
President shall each year appoint two cadets
at-large to West Point.
Debate uncomplimentary to West Point
followed and the bill was referred.
Mr. Salisbury (dem.) opposed the amend
ment and bill.
The morning hour expired and the Senate
resumed the resolutions declaring Spo6ord
entitled to kellosgs seat in the Senate
Mr.. Jonas (dem.) supported the resolu-
tions.
Mr.. Blaine contended that the effort to
place Sp0fford in the Senate was astounding,
and was in violation OF the agreement made
on the floor of the Senate, that Butler of s.
c. was to be seated in the Senate.
Mr.. Kellogg made few remarks, contra
dieting the statements in the speech of Mr..
Jonas.
Mr.. Butler-Do understand the honora-
bic senator to say made any agreement by
which l retained my seat, or procured my
seat upon this floor?
Mr.. Blaine-No, sir | never referred to
the honorable senator, because he was not a
member of this body. l said leading DEM
ocratic paper in his State, in an elaborate
editorial, stated and showed by the record
that the senator never could have been seated
except for the agreement made by senators in
this body, and that it was binding. As the
paper representing the senator's political
views in South Carolina states it, ''honorably
binding" upon the democratic side of the
chamber.
Mr. Butler-I know nothing about who
wrote or inspired the editorial, therefore
l., g. Al. rsl..
newspaper says. All | wanted to know was
whether the senator stated or intimated that
I was a party to any agreement BY which
hold my seat on this floor. Of course the
explanation is satisfactory.
Mr.. Bayard (dem. denied in strong Ian
guage that any bargain had been made in re-
lation to seat in the Senate, and rather than
be a party to such q dishonorable affair he
(Bayard) would have left the Senate. never
to return.
4 bill was introduced to tax the manufac-
ture of oleomargarine.
A resolution was passed calling for CORE
spondence relative to interference with
American fishermen in Fortune Bay.

Stewart and the Afghans
On the 10Th the enemy was discovered two

lined the crests of surrounding hills. A
desperate charge by 5000 Ghazis was made
along the whole line, envolving both fanks.
The Ghazis-of whom many were mounted
magnificently-led by three men with
standard. charged right into the British, and
some Of them succeeded in getting around
the flank of two sauadrons of the Lancers,
and charged on the main body. A consider
able number got through the line of infantry
in the centre and nearly reached General
Stewart and the headquarters of his staff. In
stopping these and defending two guns on the
right, two squadrons of Punjaub cavalry did
great execution and made several brilliant
charges. The action lasted an hour, when
the enemy retired, leaving 1000 dead and
many wounded. The British loss was II
killed and 226 wounded.
Mohamed Alan Khan, who held Ghuznee
before the arrival of the British, has surren-
dered in peace to them. Moors Khan. son
of the ex-ameer, had before the arrival of the
British been removed to Shilgurh. Sirdar
