OF probably half dozen, which were laid
aside for future consideration.
Following that unprecedented perform

Interested therein, most OF which were OF u
private or local nature. Among these were
the following

Mr.. Van Wyck made like attempt to

would move II on for consideration to ly.
Mr.. Cullom said he had yielded the time

The bill reported by Mr.. Morrill,, of Kansas,
from the committee on invalid pensions, yes.
terday, TO pension prisoners of war provides
that oil disabled prisoners Of war shall be
granted pensions at the rate fixed for similar
disabilities In honornbly discharged soldiers
result of confinement In southern prisons.
The committee estimate that II will require
81, 100000 annually to meet this addition to
the pension rolls. The bill also provides that
oil persons confined for more than thirty days
In southern prisons shall receive per diem
OF 81 for each days confinement, and to meet
the expenditure on this account will, It is es-
tlmated, require an expenditure of about ST..
000,U0O From the best obtainnblo information
the committee believe that there are about
$4,000 cN.prisoners now living, but large
number Of these persons are already receiving
pensions. The argument In favor of the per
diem payment for the period OF confinement
adduCed IN the report Is that many of the
prisoners were deprived. of the opportunity to
re.enlist and receive bounty therefor. They
were nlso out of the line OF promotion, and in
addition sustained In many cases losses of
personal property through ooniiscatlon by their
paItOrs.

Little improvement in Stocks Likely
tied.
New YORK, April 21.-There was a bet
ter business at the stock exchange to-day,
although the trading may still be reckoned
decidedly dull. The total sales were 2i3,-
600 shares, an increase over yesterday OF a
little less than 100000 shares. Five stocks,
Lackawanna, Lake Shore, Union Pacific,
Pacific Mail, and st. Paul, contributed l4S,-
7G5 shares, leaving less than 100000 shares
for the remainder of the list There was q
strong opening and during the forenoon
the general list showed some fevershness,
moving up and down within range, how
ever, OF fractions, while Pacific Mall devel-
oped decided weakness. After opening at
81 II broke to $50 during the forenoon on
semi official statement that no dividend
would be declared.
This statement was later confirmed, and
the directors decided to pay the dividend
for the coming quarter owing to the fight
existing between the company aud the
Pacific railroads regarding freight rates.
It is the only active stock that shows de-
cline. After midday the general list was
firm and advanced moderately, yielded
slightly late In the hour, and closed on a
rally at figures generally o shade below the
best OF the day.
The news Of tho day was uuimportant,
and the prevailing sentiment Of the street
is that the market will show little change
from the past few days until the troubles
between the railroads and their employees
assume a different shape. During the af-
ternoon some prominent room traders COW
cred their shorts, which was one reason for
the firm tone that prevailed. Considering
the general dizziness prevailing at the, stock
exchange, there was fair business In rail-
road bonds, but the trading was generally
of retail character, and became very dull
late in the afternoon.

Mai John NJ Carson's special dispatch In
Philadelphia Ledger, April 2i.
Mr.. Randall to-day informed your corre-
spondent that 1t was unquestonably true
that the President had spoken to number
of members about the necessity of tariff
legislation at the present session, and that
some of those thus addressed left the white
house with the impression that the Presi-
dent favored the Morrison bill. Mr.. Ran
dali believes, however, that such efforts on
the part of the Executive will have little
influence with members, us they will vote
according to the interests OF Retrospective
constituencies rather than follow the dicta-
ton of the President. 1t is not only i'm
polite, but dangerous, Mr.. Randall thinks,
for the Executive to attempt TO influence.
members upon any question pending before
Congress, and particularly to attempt to in
luence them upon such question as the
tariff. "President Buchanan said Mr..
Randall, "took members by the throat and
attempted TO coerce them to support his
policy touching the territories OF Kansas
and Nebraska, and the result OF his in
reference was not only to bring over
whelming defeat TO his administration, but
division and disaster to his party, Mr..
Cleveland will succeed no better than Mr..
Buchanan. The President may communi-
catetO Congress his views upon the tariff
or any other public question and may inllu-
ence the body in this manner, but ne can
not with proprety corral individual mem
bers and attempt to coeree them into voting
upon great public questions, intimately az
fecting the material interests OF the people,
according to his individual views. The
members Of the House are in constant com
munication with the people and know what
they want and do not need advice upon the
tariff from any executive ofllcer.p
From these expressions II will be seen
that Mr.. Randall is not likely TO besweryed
President may make on behalf OF the Nor
Tison bill. Mr. Randall says there is no
foundation for the report that the Demo
cratic members from Pennsylvania are di-
vided upon the tariff bill. He believes all
OF them will vote against that measure,
and he is confident that 1t will be defeated.
