FINERTY FURIOUS.
Shortly before the house was called to order
to-day number of members were discussing
the recent explosions in London. The dis
cussion took place in the check room on the
Democratic side. Among those present were
Representatives Cobb and Finerly. The
former expressed himself as strongly opposed
to the means resorted to by Irishmen to
effect the result desired. Finerty replied
that under the circumstances, explosions in
London were justfable. 1t was the only way
in which the Irish could gain their cause.
"You claim that TO be justfablesn said
Cobb. "Justifable when the lives of inno-
cent women and children are jeopardized.
If you look upon it in that light, you are not
humane.''
Il am humane, SIR" retorted Finerty, "as
m IN oc nd q sitrht
SO. wish those people would be blown to
h-L."
The dispute ended at this. Both members
we're considerably agitated, but controlled
themselves and confined their dispute to
words.
THE NICARAGUAN TREATY.
In the executive session of the senate to-
day Senator Bayard continued and concluded
his speech upon the Nicaragua 'reaty. He
maintained that the Clayton :Buiwer treaty is
still in force, and that the ratification of the
Nicaraguan treaty would be violation of it.
A running debate of an hour tnen took
place. Senator Sherman has two amend
ments pending. One is to open negotiations
with England for the abolition of the Clayton
Bulyer treaty before proceeding with the
ratification of tue Nicaraguan treaty. The
other is to provide that there shall be- no dis
elimination either for or against any gov
ernment in canal rates for the passage of
vessels.
TIE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
The house committee on public buildings
and grounds, which was instructed to in
quire into the cause Of the fire which occurred
yesterday upon the roof of the house, has
performed its duty and will report that the
origin of the fire was purely accidental. 1t
was caused, probably, says the com mittee, by
throwing into one of the fire places in the
building waste paper or other light material,
which was carried up the flue onto the wooden
box in which the flag is kept at the foot of
the flagstaff. In order 10 prevent q recur-
renee of such an accident, the commit
tee recommends that the flagstaff be coy-
cred with metal, and that the box be con-
structed entirely Of that material. 1t
also recommends that the clerk of the house
be directed 10 procure suitable small fire ex
tingushers, and that they be kept in all the
rooms in which documents or papers are
stored.
REDUCTION OF NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.
The house committee on postofIices and
for the bills pending before it relative to the
reduction Of newspaper postage from two TO
one cent per pound. The bill will provide
that the publication of second class matter,
when sent by the publisher from the office Of
publication to bona fde subscribers, or when
sent from news agent to actual subscribers
or other news agents, shall be entitled TO
transmission through the mail at one cent
to ha nraaiI
Representative Morey, chairman Of the com
mittee, prepared report to accompany the
bill He says postage on second class mat
ter can Justly be called privilege tax paid
by the publisher for permission to prosecute
his business.
GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION.
The director Of the mint is engaged in the
preparation of his report on the production
Of gold and silver In the United States dur
ing the calendar year Of 1884. From returns
ID ade from the miuts and assay officers it ap-
pears, he says, that contrary to his own ex-
pectatiou and general opinion q greater
amount of gold was obtained from the mines
Of the United States in 1854 than during the
previous year. The reports from miuts and
assay offices Of deposits Of gold and silver
which he caused to be verified by accounts,
show during the calendar year Of 1884 they
received, gold, domestic production, $780,
SO7, I69, nearly $500, 600 more than the pre-
vious year, while the deposits of foreign gold
bullion were s1l, ,217, ,3O9, foreign coin, &c.
32S, ,922, jewelry, plate, etc, s1,899, ,577 and
United States gold coin s265, III; total ex
Guiding redeposits, 50,51S, 14s. Burchard
says there can be no question but that nearly
tbirty-one millions Of gold, ,as shown by these
reports, were obtained from mines Of the
United States during the last
calandcr year, because the description and
character Of the gold is apparent To the weigh
clerks upon inspection, or Is easily ascer-
tanned, and generally the location also whence
received By inquiry or knowledge Of the
business Of the depositOr and is entered on
the record. Secondly. Every ounce Of the
fifty million dollars in gold reported to have
been received during the year is entered in
the accounts, and has been, or must be, paid
for by officers In charge Of the institutions
where It has been received. Thirdly, the de-
posits Of foreign gold bullion exceeded its
net import, 81, AIS, 797, aud, although the
deposits we're less by nearly $4,000, 900 than
the imports Of foreign gold coin, it was be-
cause that Of the imports Of the latter last
November and December at the port OF New
York, amounting to nearly $1,000 600. only
s6s1, ,6l2 had, up to the first Of January, been
sent TO the New York assay Office, the re-
mainder probably being held in New York
awaiting tue export demand. II is so improb-
able foreign bullion could have been entered
at the New York assay Office as domestic gold
the director says no deduction should be
made on that account from the $50, 800, 900
reported deposits Of domestic gold bullion.
