Special DLspdteh 20 the Re0ister.
WAsHIYGroN. March SIN the Senate,
to-day, there was another long drawn out
debate on the Chinese immigration bill,
chiefly INDUCED in by Messrs. Hoar, In
gals and EdmundS, the former opposing
it on the grounds that it was unjust to ex-
clude any class who desired to become cit
liens, and a violation Of the principles OF
the Declaration Of independence. Mr.. Ed
mund's reply was more than usually caus-
tic, but without coming to a vote on the
main question. an adjournment was had.
In the House the session was unusually
dull. Haskell moved to take up bills from
the Speakers table. the supposed object
being to reach the anti-Polygamy bill, so
as 10 have it acted upon before the Cannon
Campbell case came up; but if so, the OBJ
ject was defeated for little or no progress
was made, and there is yet more than
thirty bills ahead OF it. The reports in
this case have now been printed and
there will be a strong effort made to dis
pose Oi it on its merits, without pre-
Judging the matter by first passing the
bill declaring no Mormon shall hold office.
1t is said that twenty Senators are in IA
yor Of the Ead's Ship railway bill
Il is now certaia that Senator Edmunds
has declined the pronered place on the
Supreme Bench, and that all efforts to have
him reconsider his decision have failed to
change his views.
II now seems to be agreed that the best
chance OF reaching the Tariff Commission
will lie to take up the Morrill, Ibill already
passed by the Senate which is nearly iden-
tiCal with that proposed by Kasson, which
i now on the Speakers table, and can be
taken up at any time the House No orders
The Sub Committee OF Ways and Means
to-day heard Commissioner Raum in favor
OF q tax on glucose and large delegation
of manufacturers in opposition thereto.
claiming that it was not unhealthy, but q
rapidly growing industry, already employ
ing 50OOO people in its various depart
ments. The proposition is 10 tax glucose
and grape sugar 10 cents per pound, and
syrup one dollar per gallon. Glucose is q
substance with sickening sweetish taste,
extracted from corn and other cereals by
means Of sulphurc acid, and is used for
adulterating sugars, syrups, etc, and for
the manufacture OF beer. 1t is poisonous,
and the object i to prohibit its manufac-
ture. There are several large concerns
in operation throughout the country,
the largest being at Buffalo, \. Y, and
millions of dollars are invested in the in
dustry. The glucose manufacturers claim
that they are now able TO extract all the
poisonous matter arising from the
use of sulphuric acid and that instead OF
using glucose to adulterate Syrups they use
cane syrup to adulterate glucose. Gov.
Tom. Young, who introduced the bill, will
have hearing tomorrow, but 1t is under
rtood the subcommittee have decided to
report the bill adversely.
