WARRINGTON, D. c.. April s. 1850


Editor Collar Chronicle
1t was generally believed that when
the Edmunds resolutions were passed
by the Senate last week that the mat
ter had been finally disposed of. Prac-
tically, however, the debate has been
resumed, though the public will no
longer be afflicted. as the scene of the
battle has been transferred to the
secret executive sessions and Republi-
can caucuses. The Republicans have
discovered that they are a. much at
sea a. ever as to how executive nomi-
nations are to be treated. The trouble
originated in some very plain words
used by Senator Logan regarding the
Hypocrisy of some of his colleagues in
proposing to confirm internal revenue
collectors Immediately after declaring
themselves in favor of the Edmunds
resolutions. The Illinois Senator's
speech led to replies from several
Senators, and tbess in turn 10 others,
until the Republicans found Themselves
50 thoroughly tangled mp that it be-
came necessary to call caucus to set
themselves right again. The question,
concerning which there seems to be .
difference of opinion. is a. to whether
the Edmunds resolutions shall be con-
sidered as basis for future action, or
"a mere enunciati0n ef principle.

Orleans, Baton Rouge aud Vicksburg
railroad company, the New Orleans
Pacific railroad company, the Union
Trust company Of New York, John F.
Dillon, Henry NJ. Alexander and Gov.
s. ID. McEnery. The suit is based on
first mortgage construction bonds and
coupons issued by the New Orleans,
Baton Rouge and Vicksburg railroad
company, known as the Back bone
road, which it il alleged are secured by
a mortgage on the lands granted by
the United States to the Backbone
road. 1t is understood that A. H.
Leonard, one of the solicitors, holds
for collection some four hundred Of
these bonds, which, with interest,
amount to about 81 ,00O, QUO. The New

dent to invite the governments OF
Mexico, Central and South America to
Join the United States in . conference
to consider questions relating to the
business relations between the c0un-
tries, and to encourage such reciprocal
commercial relations as will benefit all.
Judge Thatcher, of Kansas, late
member of the South American COM
mission, called upon the President on
Friday. He stated to Mr.. Cleveland
what in his opinion was needed to
foster commercial relations between
the United States and South America.
He said that the steamship lines were
required to carry the products of this
country tn those parts Of the world,
and that such lines could not he estab-

week in discussing the labor arbitra-
tion bill. Many amendments have
been made, and great variety OF
opinions have been expressed during
the debate, and although there is no
prospect of an immediate disposition

Of the members prefer to 60 before a

who believe that the bill will never be
voted upon. and there is no doubt but
that IN its present form it is open to
serious objection.
The sudden and serious illness oil
Secretary Manning has led to an in
vestigatiOn of the sanitary condition
of the treasury department building,
which results in the disclosure Of
some startling facts. 1t was found
that sewer pipes running beneath the
floors of the corridors in the basement
had not been cleaned during the past
ten years, and mass of debris having
accumulated in the pipes free circu-
latiOns Of air was prevented. Breaks
in the pipes allow foul air to escape.
To this deplorable and dangerous con-
dition of affairs is doubtless due much
of the sickness which has prevailed
among the inmates of the building.
There are more than 1000 persons reg
ularly employed in the building, in
addition to the great number of per-
sons whose business requires them to
visit the department daily.
An appropriation of 100000 has
been asked for, for use in improving
the sanitary condition and ventilation
of the bnilding. 1t is proposed to
place fans in the four interior corridors
IF the sub basement to force the Dir
into the rooms by meane Of fines or
pipes. During the winter the air will
be passed over coils of steam pipes,
and thus heated before entering the
rooms. h.

successfully carried on for years by
many houses IN the dry goods bust
