Mr. Henley's published speech and denied them
in detail The first charge. was that Cnaries
Francis Adams and his co-directors had crlml-
nally violated the law in issuing s., 600 600 per
c6,.s collateral trust bonds in 1883 That trans
$50; I'D taken place before Mr.. Adams be-
aoro "a, director. The second charge was
that Mr. adams a.i the directors had yi oSa
the law in paying dvden. III e eos, rnu debt Of
the teeth of the existence OF law TO nav
$l3 000 600 It was not violation =. The
dividend where there was floating dsos
third charge was that Mr.. Adams and the d.
rectors had violated the law in placing the IN
dorsement of the Union Pacific on about $lo,-
600, 900 of bonds of the Oregon Short-line com
pany That was perfectly legitimate, and had
occurred three years before Mr.. Adams's connec-
ton with the company. The fourth charge was
that Mr.. Adams and the directors had deliber-
atey defrauded the assessment due on the gov
ernment lien, by anticipating the payment or
the third-mortgage bonds. The answer to that
was that there were no third mortgage bonds at
all
Mr. Henley-Everythpg allege there can be
proven
The matter was then dropped.
Mr. Randall, Of Pennsylvania, moved to dis.
pense with the morning hour
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, inquired sarcastically,
whether it was the intention to call up the sun
dry civil bill.
.sYou will see in the regular course Of bust
ness" replied Mr.. Randall
The other wing of the Democratic party
seems to have taken charge to-day observed
Mr. Reed
"Oh, both wings will flap together after
while" replied Mr.. Randall amid applause on
the Democratic side
The motion having been agraed to. the House
went into committee of the whoie--Mr. Reagan,
of Texas in the char-on the sundry bill,
Mr. Reed remarking that the very sensible wing
of the Democratic party had control to-day.
The pending amendment was that offered by
Mr. Warner. of Ohio, providing that no money
appropriated for the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing shall be used in printing United States
notes Of larger denomination in lieu of notes OF
small denomination Cancelled or retired.
The amendment was agreed to-99 to 49,
Mr.. Gibson, of West Virginia, offered an
amendment the object of which, he said, was to
give chance to the party in power to control,
10 some extent, the Offices to be run by that
party. While he repudiated the doctrine that to
the victors belonged the spols, he did claim that
to the dominant party belonged the right to run
an administration for which it was responsible.
No sensible people ever sent out army Off
cered by the enemy; no business man ever I'M
dertook to run his business under the control of
his rival
Mr. E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, repudiated the doc
trine that to the victorS belonged the spoils 1t
was born of corruption-it was itself corruption.
No citizen Of the United States had right to
demand an Office because he was Democrat or
Republican. He only had right to demand
it because he was an American citizen, and be-
tician, he wished snch unwise men as the gentle
man from West Virginia should have ascendency
IN the Democratic party. No party In this couu-
try could live with such avowed principles
Mr.. Adams, of New York-Did net your party
flourish wel2
Mr. Taylor-It did, and 1t died because it con-
tinued to hold that doctrine too long.
Mr. Warner-How long was tho Republican
Governor of Ohio in Office before he turned
every Democrat out?
Nv McK ell
over the Ohio river. and were out of the State
Mr. Warner-That was the Senate, not the
officers. They stayed as long as they could.
Mr. Milliken-If they were Democrats they
Of that
Mr. Taylor said that no political party could
grow which ayowed the policy that to the victor
belonged the spois, and, as patriot, he deplored
the anxiety of the people to get at the flesh pots
of Egypt
Mr. Warner remarked that it was one thing to
preach and another thing to practice. The Re-
publicans preached WELL but their practice had
been very different. He believed in civil-servce
reform but there never would be state of rest
in the civil service until state of equilibrium
was reached in which the Offices should be shared
between the parties.
The amendment was rejected, without di-
vision
The committee of the whole incorporated an
amendment in the sundry civil bill requiring
the Secretary of the Treasury to issue certii-
Gates OF the denominations OF 81, 81 and $5, OH
all surplus silver dollars now in the Treasury,
in payment of the appropriations made in the
bill, and other expenditures and obligations of
the government.
The section Of the bill concerning the geodetic
and coast survey having been reached, accord
ing to previous agreement, general debate
in order, and Mr.. Ryan of Kansas, proceeded to
cliticise the bill He said that there had been
dimnution of expenditures thus far by the
Democratic administration, while the expendi-
lures for the next fiscal year would not lie less
than $500, 900. In that estimate he took
no account of the navy, coast defenses, an edu-
cational bill, the removal of the limitations of
arrears of pensions. and other pension bills
Whether the revenues would suffice to meet the
expenditures would depend upon the degree of
general prosperity of the country. What assur-
ance had the people that the administration was
making an honest effort to curta the expendi-
lures, when the House had declared that more
than 100000 900 of the estimates were not
needed
Mr. Herbert of Alabama. turned his attention
to the coast survey. He said that the survey had
not completed its work-not from a want of lib
eral approximations but from spirit which had
prevailed in that bureau from the beginning, to
procrastinate and continue indefinitely this work.
To get at the length OF time necessary to finish
the work, experience showed that the calcula-
tons of the superintendent must be multiplied
by four, and applying that rule to Professor Hill
CARDS calculation, it would take fully twenty six
years from day, or Il5 years from the date Of
organization of the survey, to complete its work
For fifty years the survey had been under civil
ian management, while in his Mr. Herbert's
opinion it should never have been taken from
the control of the Navy Department. He be-
ieved that the bureau wished to spin out its
survey untilit was given another class of work
that might be continued indefinitely. He Sc
verely criticised the large amounts expended for
unnecessary telegraphic work.
The committee then rose and the House adj
adjourned.
