CONGRESS.
After the Holiday Recess

MONDAY, Jan. 5.-0n the reassambling of
the Senate to-day large number of petitions
against the Spanish treaty were presented.
Mr.. Beck introduced bill to create Rev
enue Commission, to consist of the Secretary of
the Treasury, five Members of the House and
three Senators, to report to Congress on or be-
fore the second Monday of December, 1885,
what changes and notifications ought to be
made in the existing internal rcvenue laws in
regard to the amount of taxes imposed and the
method of their collection.
Senator Logan was granted a leave of absence
for Is days
In the House motion was made to suspend
the rules and concur in the Senate amendments
to the Mexican Pension bill, which motion led
to discussion, the purport of which was in the
nature of repetition of the numerous debates
upon this threadbare subject.
Mr.. Townshend said he would vote for the
pending motion, but if it were unsuccessful he
would call up the Mexican Pension bill during
this week. He was not afraid of depicting the
treasury by distributing a portion of the sur
plus among the soldiers of the country. The
time was near at hand when the Government
could economize by putting every man who
had fought for the flag. no matter in what war,
on the pension roll, and by aboishing the Pen
sion Bureau and the army Of clerks now en-
ployed i'll examining pension claims.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, predicted that if the bill
were not passed within the next 60 minutes it
would never be passed. The amount which
some gentlemen estimated would be taken out
of the Treasury by the bill was, in his opinion,
greatly exaggerated. 1t would not exceed
S2G,OO0,Oo0 annually.
Mr.. Herbert, of Alabama, regarded the
measure as unwise, extravagaht and unjust
unjust both to the soldiers and to the taxpayers
of the country, who would be saddled with
debt which was absolutely incalculable.
Mr. Warner, of Ohio, held that the principle
of the bill, if followed out, would result in an
expenditure Of not less than s., SOC, 100000.
The principle of granting service pensions was
a dangerous one
The motion to suspend the rules and concur
in the Senate amendments was Iost-yeas I59,
nays S5-not the necessary two thirds voting
in the affirmative.
Mr.. Hiscock, of New York, moved to sus-
pend the rules and pass bill aboishing the
internal revenue tax on tobacco, cigars, snuff,
cigarettes, cheroots, and the tax on distilled
spirits used for mechanical and manufacturing
purposes; also, the special tax on dealers in
tobacco, and tax on liquors distilled wholly
from fruit. The motion was lost.

Senior Isidoro Vidal met his death in the city
of Panama few days ago under most peculiar
circumstances. When about retiring, feeling a
pain in his chest, he rubbed himself with alco-
hol and then poured some of the spirits on his
undershirt. He then put out his light and
went to bed. Subsequently, wishing to smoke
cigar, he struck a match. The spark from
the match set fire the alchohol on the under
shirt, and in an instant the unfortunate
man was in blaze. He died on the following

PLACED ON THE RETIRED LIST

Orders from the War Department this week
place on the retired list two officers of the
regular Army who entered the volunteer SER
vice at the beginning of the war as privates,
and rose by good soldiership to commissions.
The first was Capt. Lemuel A. Abbott, who was
Sergeant in Co. B, 10th VT, in 1862, and rose
to be Captain of his company in 1865. He
afterwards received commission in the 9th
Ohio (colored), and in 1867 was appointed See
ond Lieutenant in the 9th Inf, and became
Captain in 1880. The other is James II. Spen-
Ger, who was a private in Co. K, 9th Mass,
when it marched to the defense of Washing
ton, in April, 1861. He afterwards enlisted in
the Goth Mass, and rose to be Captain. He
entered the regular Army in 1866. as Second
Lieutenant in the 18th Inf, and became a Cap
tain in the 4th Inf. in March, 1879.

MRS. CARLISLE.

The absence of Mrs. Speaker Carlisle from
the line of ladies who assisted the President
on New Years Day has been much remarked
upon. and opinions differ as to whether her
visit to Kentucky was the result of a genuine
desire to eat her Christmas dinner by her own
yule log, or an indisposition to either renew
the struggle she made last year for precedence
or confess defeat by taking lower place.

Somebody is waking up to the necessity of an
efficient armament for our ships and forts. The
Gun Foundry Board asks Congress to appropri-
ote $17,O00,000 for the manufacture of steel
guns OF the highest power known. OF this
amount s., $4,000 will go for a gun foundry for
| the Navy, and another for a similar factory for
the Army. The remaining $15, 100000 will be
divided into two equal parts and pay for the
manufacture Of the guns for the two branches
of the service. 1t will require two years to
build the factories for making the guns, and
therefore the Board asks that the appropria-
tion be made as soon as possible. 1t asks for
the appropriation of the $4,000, 600 for steel
in order to give sufficient inducement to
American manufacturers of steel to erect the
necessary plant to provide home made material
for the use of the factories This amount they
think will be sufficient to supply guns for the
country for the next 81 years.

g." Something orn Monarchis,., !,

If IL had been the intent of the admin
istration to provoke the hostility of
Democrats and Republicans alike, by Sc
lecting for the English mission the most
unsuitable piece Of available material,
that purpose would have been success
fully carried out by the choice of Mr..
Phelps. Not only has he the most un-
fragrant of anti-war records to offend
Republicans and War Democrats, not
only did he give his influence against the
war as late as 1864 and indulge In coarse
abuse OF Abraham Lincoln, but he is ut
terly destitute Of sympathy with or love
for republican institutions.
Even Democratic newspapers find
Phel5a too bitter pill to be swallowed
without q grimace. One of the great
Democratic dailies represents a leading
Vermont lawyer as saying: phelps is a
sort of monarchist. Phelps lost his in
terest in freedom when the negro was
going to have some Of it. He went to
England, and it made great impression
on him. He came back to the United
States disgusted with politics in this
country"
The same paper quotes Mr.. Smalley. oi
Vermont, in the remark that "Phelps Is
something of monarchist. He has been
twice to England. After he came back,
in some of his addresses in tho courts, he
had so much to say and to explain about
the British government that it got to be
a bore to some of our Vermont lawyers
and they notified him publicly to go on
with his argument and let his British ex'
perience alone"
This is the sort of Democrat-a Demo-
crat who sports coat-of-arms--that 4
Democratic reform administration sends
TO represent our democratic republic a
the headquarters of monarchical Europe.

doubtful IL tho much.quoted oldest in

when the game began. Hnines Streeter.
