SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 17.-At noon to-
day, the time fixed by law for joint
meeting of the two houses of the legisla-
ture to complete the election of United
States senator, the senators entered the
hall of the house of representatives in pro
cession, led by their officers, and took seats
provided for them. The hall was thronged
in every part. The galleries were filed
with ladies, conspicuous among whom was
Mrs. Governor Cullnm, who came to wit
ness and rejoice at the triumph of her dis
tinguished husband, about to be
declared United States senator
elect. All the senators except Mr..
Adams, of Cook, answered to their names.
All the members of the house except Mr..
Crofts were present. The house journal of
yesterday showed no choice. The rolls
were called. Senator Adams did not vote.
Mr.. Emerson voted for Cullom. Mr..
Rankin, of Henderson, (amid Democratic
cries of ''Crow'') said in obedience to his
constituents he voted for .Cullom. Re-
votes and Palmer ninety-fve, and Shelby
M. Cullom was declared elected United
States senator. A committee was appointed
to bring in Senator Cullom, who expressed
his gratitude. In congress he would favor
economy in the administration of affairs, a
reduction of the taxes to the lowest posi-
BILE limit, and such additional improve
ment as came within the purview of the
constitution and are demanded by the
trade and commerce of the country.

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS.
THE SEN4TE GIVES IT'S TIME TO THE
TIRTFF BILL
a Grist of Routine Matters in the House,
The Senate Disposed to Protect Infant
Industries"
Senate.

SehOte.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lin the senate Mr..
Edmunds introduced by request bills to
provide for the appointment Of commits
sion to investigate the subject of railroad
transportation and expressed the opinion
that the matter was worthy of considera-
ton, believing some sort of regulation re-
quired.
The conference report on the agricul-
tural appropriation bill was agreed to.
The postoffce appropriation bill was
then considered. Mr.. Davis, referring to
the item for necessary and special facili-
ties on trunk lines of railways, thought the
word trunk designated and confined the
benefit of the appropriation to two rail
roads,-the Pennsylvania and New York
Central. The'whole appropriation went to
these two roads and one city, New York.
Mr.. Plumb said the gentleman was mis-
taken and sent to the clerks desk and had
a letter read from the superintendent of
the railway mail service, showing how
S185,O0O for this purpose was expended,
and recommending if similar appro-
prlatlOn Is made this session 1t should be
a continuation of the existing service this
year.
Dat the conclusion of the explanation of
the bill by Mr.. Plumb, debate ensued.
Mr.. Maxey thought the people west of
the Mississippi were as well entitled as
any other to these mail facilities and un-
less the benefits could be fairly distributed
they ought to be discontinued entirely.
After further debate the adoption of an
amendment striking out the house pro-
vision relating to the compensation to be
paid Pacific railways for mail service, the
morning hour expired, and the bill went
over. The senate resumed consideration
of the tariff bill.
The motion to postpone the considera-
ton of the tariff bill was lost by the fol-
lowing vote:
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1883-01-18

he did not care which would be adopted.
Mr. Logan offered to withdraw his sub
stitute, but Mr.. Washburn, of Minnesota,
appealed to him not to do so, as he thought
there was more danger in making change
than in going under the old plan. Mr..
Logan stated, however, that his motive
was to allow those in favor of the change
to see whether they could present any
thing which would meet the approval of
the committee. If no such plan were pre-
sented, then he would renew his substi-
tute.
Mr.. Lacy, of Michigan, offered the fol
lowing resolution.
ReSOIred, That the number of delegates
to the National convention of 1884 be in
creased, and that said increase be SO dis
tributed as to be based upon the Republi-
can votes for president in 1880, OF so as to
increase the representation of states and
districts showing Republican pluralities in
the presidential election of 1880. without
increasing the ratio of delegates assigned
to any state or district under the last call.
Mr. New, of Indiana, opposed any
change, and renewed Senator Logan's
motion as a substitute for it, retaining the
existing plan of representation.
A member proposed that the vote should
be kept secret.
Another member suggested that the votes
even in executive session of the senate
could not be kept secret.
ooh, yesr' said Mr., Logan, they can
when they are not carried out by some
cat" laughter.
vote was then taken on the substitutes,
and resulted: yeas, 21: nays, II.
So the present plan of representation
was retained.
Mr.. Chandler desired to have another
testing of the question, and suggested a
recess. He intimated that the motion had
been carried by the votes of Southern and
territorial delegates. He wanted to have
another vote taken and thought he had
parliamentary right to insist upon vote
on the original proposition as amended.
Mr.. Logan deprecated the allusion to
Southern and territorial members. They
were all on an equality here.
Mr.. Chandler defended his right to
allude to the fact that the motion had been
carried by Southern aud territorial votes.
The chair decided that a vote should be
taken on the original motion, as amended
by the substitute, and the original motion
was adopted, yeas, %; nays, Is; as fol-

Eetali;c and Nom. Metallic Ages.

Some time ago Herr Ecker proposed
TO divide the prehistoric time into
pre-metallic and q metallic time, in
stead of the three periods of stone,
bronze, and iron. His reasons were
that the earlier period was character
lied rather by the non-use of metal
than by the use of stone, and that the
phrase "metal PERIOD leaves undecid-
cd which of the metals first came in
to use. AS to how man came to use
metals, he has lately urged that it was
accidentally through observations in
working stone. The savage, for ex-
omple, found stone; he hammered it
in order to chip it into shape; no
pieces, however, broke of, but the
stone gradually took, under hammer
ING the desired form. This malleable
stone was solid copper. Thus, in
northern North America, copper seems
10 have been the metal that first came
lhIo use. In another place the savages
fvand that among the stones which
thew used for tireplaces, some got red
alu glowing with intense heat, and
thea could be hammered in this state.
Tnis was the iron bloom. 1t is prob
au.e that in Central Africa iron was
t..e metal which first came into USE
The experience that stones could also
Lc fused, or that two liquid kinds of
stone Copper and tin) furnish still
more liquid third (bronze), belongs
evidently to q much later stage of de-
velnnmeut

MADISON, Wis: Jan. 17.-Both houses
had short sessions this morning. In the
assembly joint resolution was adopted
for the appointment of a joint special
committee consisting of three from the
senate and five from the assembly, whose
duty it shall be to investigate the cause of
the loss of life by the burning Of the New
hal house in Milwaukee, so far as the same
was occasioned by reason of the improper
construction of said building or
lack of the necessary means of escape,
and that said committee is hereby instruct
ed to report by bill or otherwise such leg
islation as it may deem necessary for the
better security of guests and inmates of
hotels and other public buildings, by re-
quiring the necessary means of escape
therefrom in case of fire or other casualty.
1t is understood bill will be introduced
at an early day compelling all hotels of
more than two stories high to provide
knotted ropes in each room and an electric
bell in each room connected with the Office,

Attorney General Stockton arrived from
Cuba at noon, and was closeted with Leon
Albeit and Gov. Ludlow several hours this
afternoon. 1t is understood that power
full combination has been formed against
Senator Mcpherson. The senator desired
a caucus this week, but could
not get the members together. The
opposition consider the delay favorable
to their prospects. It is believed that At
torney General Stockton will be the anti
Mcpherson candidate. If ne is successful,
Leon Albeit will be appointed attorney
general. Senator Mcpherson is not in the
