CLOSE ATTENTION TO BUSINESS PROMISED.

IBI IKIkUkAFI TO THE IAI3DNE-T
WASIuNGToN April 25.-It is understood that. at
the meeting of the Republican Caucus Committee
of the House last night, it was determined that as
soon as the Lynch Chalmers case shall he disposed
Of the Ways and Mean Committee shall he given
tie floor to proceed with the Tariff Commission bill
and that no other business shall be allowed to in
tervene until vote shall have been taken on that
bill
The Republicans manifest a renewed determina-
tiOn that all the contested election cases the nl
10 extend the National Bank charters, and several
other measures shall be disposed of at this session
The probability IS that two three Of the largest
appropriation bills Will not be acted on any
than necessary People who are predicting al al
iournment OF Congress by the middle Of June will
probably live to see this session continue beyond
the hfst OF July.

A WITNESS WITH NOTHING TO CONCEAL.
A REASON FOR BELIEVING THAT PRESIDENT GAR
PIELD NEVER HEARD OF eHIPHERD-THg TRES.
COT Observation-Disclosures STORIES Dis
POSED OF-AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE MR.. BELMONT
UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE OF DIPLOMACY.
The examination Of ex-Secretary Blaine be-
fore tho House Committee on Foreign Affairs
was resumed yesterday. Mr.. Blaine, at tho
opening of the session, stated that in the diary
of President Garfield no mention whatever was
ever made of Shipherd or of the Cochet claim
OF of the Peruvian Company, and this omission,
although negative testimony, was OF great con-
sequence in support of the belief that President
Garfield never heard of either of them. Mr..
Blaine produced the draft of the Trcscot in
structions which was shown to President
Arthur and amended at the Presidents sug-
gestiOn, and denied that he had ever interpo-
lated word, line syllable or an idea. He
also denied that he had assumed TO act as
President de tdcto or that he was engaged in
blocking out q great foreign policy and precipi-
tating it upon the country between two
Presidents. Mr. Blaine was questioned with
great pertnacity by Mr. Belmont, and after
replying with patience for some time was led
TO characterize his course as the merest nom
senscal hypercriticism." lie said that he had
not gone further in the Landreau affair than
Secretary Fish had gone.

Senator Ingalls, is understood to be in favor OF the
bill but be loves n controversy and has few equals
in " running debate" Senator Farley was labor
ing to establish something which was rather
sbstruse. when Mr. ingalls, interjected query
why the people of California gave employment to
the Chinese. Mr. Farley said his people were
much like those of Kansas; they hired
labor where they could get it the cheapest
"But.' said the Senator from Kansas, " the peo-
pie of my State don't go into the slums and hire
leprous and vile wretches to come TO their houses
and enter their Kitchens servants and members OF
their household" Mr.. Farley mildly observed that
the "leprosy lead had been overworked.
But" qucried Senator Ingalls,, why do you
hire themi Would they remain if they couldn't
get work at paying prices, you didn't buy their
commodities "
Mr. Farley admitted that this was hard question:
for it was thing (which 10 fellow

upon the Chinese in Massachusetts, and asked why
they left. Senator Dawes replied that like other
intelligent men. they, went away hecansc they
