XLVIITH CONGRESS.
The CeIestiaIs Find a Friend in Senator
HOar, Who Delivers a TwO-HOurs
Speech Against
The Pending Chinese BilI-The Indian
Appropriation Bill Passed by
the House.

WASHINGTON, March 1-Senate.-Senator
McDill presented the resolutions of the Iowa
legislature praying that the patent laws be
so amended as to prevent unjust e1actlons.
Senator Vest introduced a bill to prohibit
the issue of bank-notes or currency by ma
tional banks that may be organized after the
Ist of July, 1882. He hoped the bill would
not be consigned TO the Tomb OF the Capulets,
but would be reported back, either favorably
or unfavorably. Referred
On motion of Senator Window the resolu-
tions reported yesterday from the Committee
on Foreign Relations for an investigation of
the loss or abstraction from the state depart
ment of the diplomatic correspondence re-
Iating to Chill and Peru, and as to any i'm
proper connection of diplomatic or other
officers or members OF Congress with con-
tracts or arrangements in regard to claims
against or grants derived from those coun-
tries, were taken up.
Senator Bayard moved to amend by add
ing as specific subject of inquiry the follow
ing: whether any promise or stipulation by
which the United States in the controversies
existing between Chilli and Peru, or Chilli
and Bolivar, has expressly or implicitly been
given to any persons officially connected with
the government OF the United States; or
whether its influence has been in any way
exerted, promised or intimated, in connection
one officially connected with the government
OF the United States"
Senator Bayard's amendment prevailed
without objection, and the resolutions
amended were adopted.
After the morning hour, the unfinished
business-the Chinese bill-was temporarily
LAID aside for speech by Senator Voorhees,
upon the urgency of better accommodations
for the library of Congress.
The Chinese bill was then taken up, and
Senator Hoar spoke against the measure, as
sorting that the right OF every human being
TO go wherever on the surface OF the earth
he may get an honest living without the in
reference Of the government, came from the
same authority as the Golden Rule and the
Sermon on the Mount. Senator Hoar spoke
two hours.
Senator Kellogg introduced resolution
that the Committee on Education and Labor
tie instructed to report bill making an APP
preparation which, when combined with the
revenues derived from local taxation and in
come from local funds, will be sufficient to
give all children, of whatever race or color,
in all the States and Territories an opportu-
nifty to secure good common school educa-
ton.
The Senate then adjourned till tomorrow.
