Proceedings in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Mr. Beck introduced
q bill to prohibit members of Congress from
acting as attorneys or employees of railroad
companies that hold charters or have had grants
from the United States, remarking that there
had been much elimination and recrimlnation in
both houses about members of Congress being
employed by railroad companies. The bill, he
said, was intended to see if remedy could be
provided for the trouble.
Mr. Miller called up the bill extending the
eight-hour law to letter-carrers. He said the
Postoffce Department had ruled that the letter
carriers were not entitled to come under the
provisions of that law, but Mr.. Miller saw no
reason why these employees of the government
should not be put on an equality with other
employees. The bill was passed.
On motion of Mr.. Dolph, the Senate resumed
consideration of the Northern Pacific land-for-
fixture bill, which was debated by Messrs. Dolph
and George, until 2 o'clock, when the bank
ruptcy bill was taken up. After a short debate,
the latter measure went over until tomorrow.
Mr. Plumb offered resolution authorizing
investigation of the alleged fraudulent issue of
stock by the Union Pacific Railway Company,
which was referred to the committee on iudici-
airy.
A resolution offered by Mr.. George was, at his
own suggestion, allowed to lie over one day, pro-
viding for the recommittal to the committee on
the judiciary of the bankruptcy BILL with IL
structlons to 80 amend it as to provide for vol
untary proceedings only.
Mr.. Plumb called up the conference report on
the postofice appropriation BILL and On his mo-
ton the Senate insisted on its amendments and
reappointed Messrs Plumb, Beck and Malone,
as the conference committee on the part of the
Senate.
On motion of Mr. Plumb. the Senate then
took up the bill ito prevent the acquisition of
real property by aliens" Mr.. PLUMB said he
would personally prefer to have had bill in
some respects more restrictive than the present
one but the bill represented the views of the
committee on public lands The bill was passed.
Mr.. Sherman called up the supplemental Chi
nese immigration bill, that which explains the
meaning Of the original bills OF the same sub
ject passed in 1882 and 1884 The bill was passed
as reported from the committee.
Mr.. Sherman called up the bill to indemnify
the Chinese for losses incurred by the riot at
Rock Springs, Wy. 7: He said that he regarded
it as good policy. good Christianity and good
humanity to reimburse the injured parties.
Mr.. Cockrell and Mr.. Mitchell opposed the
bill. and Mr.. Edmunds favored it.
Without action upon the measure, the Senate
adjourned.

Representative Johnston 1ncurs the Enmity
of Friends of the Lost Cause.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June l--Representative John
ston. of the Terre Haute district, who delivered
the Memorial Day Grafton at Alexandria, Va.
yesterday, seems to have stirred up a hornets
nest. The ex-confederates are denouncing him
in round terms. and the Gazette the confederate
organ, belabors him soundly for referring to the
slost cause 1t thinks his remarks untimely.
Mr.. Johnston, in delicate and very proper Ian
guage simply spoke Of the feeling. imaginary
or real, that existed between the South and the
North to-day, and deprecated that it was SO. He
implored the people of both sections to bury the
issues with the flowers they heaped upon the
graves of the dead, and to live like brothers.
But he did not think there ever would
be kindly and brotherly feeling between the
two sections so long as the South lionized and
paraded JEFF Davis and the principles for which
he fought, as it is doing at this time. EITHER
the North or South was wrong in striking in the
last war, said Mr.. Johnston; IF it was the North
say SO; but the world has said it was the South
that fought against the right, and the South
should lay down its arms and keep them
grounded" He impressed upon his hearers the
bad taste of the display of jeff Davis at this
time, and the wrong wrought by the present
contention that the South fought for ths right
This seems to have fred ex-confederate hearts
at Alexandria as they were never fred before,
and if Mr.. Johnston is not publicly denounced
there it will be strange.
