Mr., Eustis said that nothing of that
kind was asked.
At O'Clock Mr.. Blair endeavored to
call up his education bill, but failed, the
bill, however, retaining its place as un-
finished business. Discussion of MIR.
Eustis' resolution then proceeded.
Mr.. German defended the administra-
tiOn. The sub-Treasury at New Orleans,
he said, had been found deficient in the
clerical force in the office to count all the
silver dollars that were or would be pre-
sented. The Treasurer of the United
States had already stated to the Senate
that he had not issued orders to the sub-
Treasury to decline receiving silver dol
lars and issuing silver certificates,
THE DEPARTMENTS ADVICE.
When the Assistant Treasurer at New
Orleans had notified the Treasury Depart
ment that certain banks in Tennessee and
Texas were trying to use the sub-Treas-
ury as a convenience merely to transfer
silver from one bank to another, and that
there was not clerical force enough to do
it, the Assistant Treasurer had declined
to have anything to do with it, and the
Treasury Department had said, "Iou are
quite right, the sub-Treasury is not to be
made a convenience. In such case de-
cline to receive silver that you cannot
count and issue certificates for on the day
it is presented" Mr.. German deprecated
the use of the Treasury Department as a
convenience between three or four banks
involving the payment of express and
other charges by the government.
THE SILVER IDEA RUN MAD.
This would be the silver idea run mad.
He was not opposed to silver. He believed
in silver. but he believed in an honest sill
Yer dollar.
Mr.. Sherman said that if the transac-
tiOn of consideration involved a request
from bank that the Assistant Treasurer
should open an account with that bank
for silver dollars deposited with the sub
Treasury, then the government official
was right in refusing TO open such an ac-
count. Mr.. Sherman said the inquiry
was entirely proper, and that the Senate
had a perfect right to anything on the
Executive files. either relating to this sub
ject orr to Executive appointments, sus-
pensions or removals.
This pTecipitated debate upon the
question so long pending in the caucuses
and committee meetings and secret ses-
siOns as to the right OF the Senate to in
formation regarding removals.
TOUCHED ON IN THE HOUSE.
The House to-day went into committee
of the whole on the halt-gallon liquor tax
bill.
BIr. Weaver, OF Iowa, took the fl0or in a
speech upon the financial question and an
attack upon the national banking system.
He said that the House might just as we'll
face the music first as last. There were
four things relating to finance which this
Congress must enact: First, it must pro.
vide for unrestricted coinage of American
silver; second, law>must be passed for
the issue OfTreasury notes to take the
place of bank notes, third, the larger pOr-
tiOn OF the surplus in the Treasury must
be paid out in the liquidation of the inter-
est-bearing public debt; fourth, it must
forbid by law any further discrimination
against silver coin. The committe then
rose and the House at 5:15 O'Clock ad-

diately bailed out.
CELEsrIALs IN COURT.
All the Cinnamon on board the steamer
were marched to the court house by the
militia in answer to the writ OF habeas

ton was made TO this movement. Judge
Green informed each Chinaman that he
was at perfect liberty to 80 or stay, as he
choose.
PREFERRED TO GO.
A majority chose TO leave. They were
accordingly escorted to the steamer. and
those who elected to stay were escorted Ia
their homes. Up to this time there had
been no blood shed, although the streets
were crowded. At noon, however, an at
tack was made on the home guards by
few hot heads. The guards were finally
ordered TO fire, and responded with a
volley.
FOUR MEN SHOT.
Four men fell, one of them being killed
and three wounded. They were:
BERNARD MULLANE, killed.
JAMES MURPHY, special policeman,
shot through the arm.

tween waldo and Tampa.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. SIN response TO
a request from Senator Call, OF Florida,
for reconsideration of the action Of the
Interior Department in ordering the with
drawal OF lands for the Florida railroad
between Waldo and Tampa bay, Commits
sioner Sparks, OF the General Land Office,
has made report, In which he concurs
with the late Secretary, Mr. Chandler, in
holding that there WAS no authoritative To-
cation OF the road prior to the expiration Of
the grant in 1866, and that no legal lOca-
ton could be made after that date. The
grant was made In 1856. In 1860 a map Of
location was presented TO the Interior
Department, which was rejected and re-
turned 20 the railroad company. In 1873
n copy Of this map was presented 20 Sec
retary Chandler, who also refused 10 ac-
cept IL. In 1880 II was again presented
10 Secretary Schurz, who accepted 10, and
ordered the withdrawal complained Of.
Commissioner Sparks holds that the later
action was an attempted revival by the
authority alone OF an eX-
pired and abandoned grant, and that SUCH
action was without authority Of the law,
and he has recommended TO Secretary
Lamar that the withdrawal be revoked.
Tine line Is 100 miles in length, about half
OF which has been constructed since 1880.
About 500, 900 acres are involved.

SURPRISED BY SHERMAN.
The Precipitation of the Information
Debate Unexpected.


Debate Unexpected.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-John Sherman
astonished the Senate this afternoon
during the debate on the silver question
when he came down from the chair of the
President pro tempore to make an attack
on the administration for refusing to send
to the Senate papers asked from its Cabi-
net officers by the Senate. He dwelt
particularly on the course Of
the Secretary of the Treasury which
he cOntrasted with what ne said had been
his unvarying compliance with similar
requests of the Senate when he himself
was Secretary of the Treasury. The
Democratic Senators disturbed him some-
what by pointing out the fact that when
Secretary OF the Treasury he had not
furnished such information in regard to
the removal of the Superintendent of the
Mint at New Orleans.
SURPRISE.
The action OF Nr. sherman was the
more surprising because Of the general
understanding on the Republican side
that the matter should be postponed until
Mr.. Edmunds, who is confined to his
house by cold, could get out. The sem
ate Judiciary Committee deferred report
ing the Edmunds resolution this morning
for this reason, and it was supposed that
until Mr.. Edmunds was able to report
this resolution, the discussion on this sub
ject would not begin. After the doors
were closed the debate continued in ex-
executive session. Some OF the Republican
Senators claimed that the Secretary OF
tDe Treasury was by statute differently
placed from any OF the other members Of
the Cabinet as regards a request for intor-
nation from the President.
REFUSAL DECLARED IMPOSSIBLE.
IL was claimed that request for infor-
nation addressed to the Secretary OF the
Treasury by the Senate must be granted
by him whether the President authorized
him 10 do so or not. IL was proposed 70
bring him before the Senate Financial
Committee to show cause why he had not
furnished the information asked for by
the Senate in the resolution adopted
at the suggestion of the Finance
committee. After this discussion the
Senate confirmed some Postmasters. The
Republican Senators are very evidently
no longer following Mr.. Edmunds, and
this being the case there will be inde-
pendence OF action on the part Of lndi-
viduals, and hence the opposition 10 the
President viii in all probability gradually
fall to pieces.

The Duke of Portland Interferes with a
Scheme to Select Wife for Him.
LONDON, Sept. 7-MoGern Society recently in
vited its lady readers who were willing to have
the Duke Of Portland for husband to a compe-
tition called the Portland stakes" The object
was to obtain a large number of names of ladies,
who were suitable to occupy the position of
Duchess of Portland for publication. The list
of aspirants, or of those whom the editor
deemed worthy of being the wife of the
Dnke Psrtlsnd, was to appear
in to-mor'rows edition Of Modern Society.
The Duke of Portland, having become aware of
the scheme. chartered special train and came
to London. where he consulted with his solicit
ors regarding the matter. The result was that
the solicitors letters and legal notices to the
proprietors, printers and editor, warning them
that legal proceedings would be instituted if the
list appeared in the paper. The editor sent a
reply stating that it would not be published.
