WASHINGTON, January IL, 1884
SENATE.

In the Senate this morning Mr.. Van
Wyck, from the Committee on the I'M
provement OF the Mississippi River, sub
mitted a joint resolution appropriating
81 100000 TO continue the improvements
already begun by the Mississippi-River
Improvement Commission. After some
debate it was amended so as to give it the
form of bill, which was read three times
, and passed.
The following bills were introduced:
BY Mr.. Call: To establish university
OF medicine Also. to provide for the es-
tablishment OF system OF postal savings
banks in the United States.
BY Mr.. Edmunds For the relief OF the
SURVIVORS OF the exploring steamer jean
nette and the widows and children OF those
who perlshed in the retreat from the wreck
OF that vessel in the Arctic sea.
Mr.. Anthony's resolution Of January 9th
was taken up, instructing the Committee
ON Foreign Relations TO inquire into the
eXpediency OF such legislation as should
enable the Executive to protect American
interests against those Governments which
have prohibited or restrained the importa-
ton OF healthful meats from the United
States.
Mr.. Van Wyck moved to amend by add
ing except such Governments whose
manufactured goods or products were pre-
viously restrained or prohibited from free
access to our ports" Mr.. Van Wyck was
proceeding to explain the purport Of his
amendment when the morning hour eX-
pired, and the matter went over.
Mr.. Culom then, according to notice
heretofore given, addressed the Senate
with regard to his bill to re6rganize the
legislative power OF Utah. 1t provides
that the government OF Utah shall consist
OF a Governor and council OF nine MEN,
bers, to lie appointed by the President and
confirmed by the Senate, and they shall be
citizens and qualified voters Of the Terri
tory.
Mr.. Brown followed Mr.. Culom in op-
position to the bill. He did not propose,
he said. to discuss the social question nor
the church polty involved in the Mormon
problem. At future time he might do
that. He proposed now to speak OF the
question from the standpoint Of the Con-
stitution. He declared all the recent legls-
lation OF Congress in connection with Utah
affairs unconstitutional and indefensible.
When the matter had been already before
the Senate he had denounced polygamy,
anu Dc NOufu llhc W sec sOiHclHluS uouc W
suppress il il it could be done without vio-
lation of the Constitution Of the United
States, which every senator had taken q
solemn oath to support.
Mr.. Garland had always thought the Ed
munds bill for Utah trouble very much
like prescribing corn-plaster for con-
sumption, but he hoped the right remedy
would be found. The Supreme Court had
laid down the doctrine that the people
could not shelter themselves from the con-
sequences Of crime by pleading the re-
quirements OF religion.
The Senate then took up the unfinished
business of yesterday, being the new rules,
and after some debate the rules were
adopted.
The Senate then went into executive
session, and subsequently adjourned until
Monday.

bin agreed upon provides for the re-
appropriation OF the unexpcndcd bal.
ance Of the appropriation for the fiscal
year that ended June 30, 1883, amounts
ing In round numbers TO SS9,000,0O0,
OF the balance OF tho appropriation Tor the
present year which win remain unexpend-
cd ut the close OF the year ESTIMATED at
SIG, 900 .000), and fresh appropriation OF
Sl5, 000, 900, making In all SS0,000,OO0 In
round numbers. The bill also provides
for an appropriation OF SSou,ooo tor eN-
penses OF special agents OF the Pension
bureau. and for other appropriations for
fees OF boards OF examining surgeons, ex-
penses Of pension agencies, and salaries OF
agents for which estimates have not yet
been perfected, the whole falling within
Sl.000,000.
Fir. Holman said tonight that the COM
mittee IN going below the Commissioners
estimates had been governed by the idea
that the appropriation Of large sums OF
money for payment OF pensions In excess
OF requirements was iniudicious, as It de-
ceiyed the country as to the real condition
OF the Government expenditures. The
Commissioner had asked for forty million
dollars In addition to the uneXpended bal
ance Of the former appropriations, which II
acceded TO would, according TO the COM
mittee's estimates, bring the amount placed
at his disposal up TO sic 100000.
