XLVIIth Congress list Session
SENATE.
WASHINGTON. Nav !


WASHINGTON, May 5.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Window for
the appointment of an investigating committee
into the charges made that ring was at work
in Washington to favor the passage OF the
House bill relating to distilled spirits in spec
ial bonded warehouses Adopted
The Senate bill favOrably reported by Mr..
Rollins from the naval committee authorizing
an increase in the naval service OF 5OO en-
listed men, was taken up.
Mr.. Platt said he could see no reason for an
increase in the present condition OF the navy.
Mr.. Rollins replied that an increase was i'm
peratively necessary to supply enough men to
man the ships in actual service. The bill was
laid over informally.
Various bills granting individual relief were
passed and debate on the Court of Appeals bill
resumed.
ments by Southern Senators making radical
changes in the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court These would jeopardize if not defeat a
bill earnestly demanded by the country. He
apprehended their motive was partisan one.
The bill went over until Monday.
Several Senate bills were passed and the
Senate adjourned to Monday.
HOUSE.
At11.1O the House went into committee of
the whole on the tariff commission bill and ex-
Speaker Randall spoke in opposition to the
measure from Democratic standpoint He
advocated his proposition for a mixed commls-
sion.
Mr.. whitthorne opposed the commission
bill.
Mr.. Tucker, a member of the ways and
means committee spoke for two hours and re-
viewed the various methods of taxation con-
tending that the tax upon incomes was the
fairest that could be levied. He vigorously de-
Tended the policy of free trade.
Mr.. Kelly spoke at length in advocacy OF
the BILL The present discussion, he said, haa
demonstrated the unfitness of the American
Congress to handle the subject and had given
the House an insight into the public mind on
the question. He denied the tariff needed
overthrow or reconstruction, but it needed
amendment Mr.. Kelley criticized the at
tempt of Democratic congress to frame
tariff bills causing good deal of merriment by
his exposition of the absurdities as he asserted,
of the Morrison tariff bill.
This closed the general debate and the first
section was read it being understood debate
would only be permitted on bonafde amend
ment.
The committee then rose and the House
took recess nntil 730, the evening session to
be for consideration of the pension bill.
At the evening session the House passed 45
pension bills and at $50 adjourned until to-
morrow.

PORTLAND. May 8.
The wholesale market for Breadstuffs and Provis-

reported The most prominent feature to-day in
the business situation is the advance in Beef of Soc

Sugars are unchanged in prices, but the market
is in rather an unsatisfactory state, which is due
partly to the high figures which ruled early in the
season, and during May we shall probably witness
an unsteady market. In Molasses easier feeling
prevails on grocery grades and boiling but without
quotable change in rates. Canned goods generally
are In active demand, in buyers favor and low but
three months of active consumption and distribu-
tion must pass before new packed goods will have
any influence in the market, and by August first
the country ought to have smaller stock of last
and previous years packing than it ever held at the
end of the season. The European demand for IA
vorte brands of fruits bids fair to be brisk and
look for lively competition for such fruits and veg
etables as are needed to supply the foreign trade
Flour is stiff for all good brands with decidedly
upward tendency. Eggs are steady and the stock
is pretty well cleaned up. Butter is firmly held at
quotations.
The following are to-day's quotations OF Flour,
Grain, Provisions, &c.
