THE SENATE.
What Was Accomplished in the
Senate Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Mr. Brown,
of Georgia, called up the resolution Of
fered by him on the 4th of January, de-
claring it the imperative duty of con-
gress to repeal the internal revenue
laws at the earliest day practicable, and
proceeded to address the senate in adj
vocacy Of it. Speaking for the people
of Georgia, he said, that while they de-
sired a just revision of the tariff and the
abolition Of the revenue system, they
did not wish to crush American manu-
facturerS or to reduce the compensation
of American labor. Hequoted from the
Democratic national platform of 1884,
and said that he and his state stood on
that squarely. Under it tariff reduction
must be carried out as not to injure
home industry. Let the South, he said,
adopt the policy that has ell
riched the North. Let the iniquit-
Gus internal revenue system be
repealed and the tariff revised so as
to impose higher rates on luXurieS and
lower rates Oh necessities, as demanded
by the Democratic platform of 1884,
upon which the only Democratic preSi-
dent has been elected in twenty-five
years. The senate then proceeded to
the consideration of the undervaluatiOn
bill which, Mr.. Allison said, was the
unanimous report of the committee on
finance. The bill of twenty-seven
printed pages was read at length and
went over. Mr.. Platt gave notice as
soon as the undervaluation bill was dis
posed of he would ask the senate to
take up the bill for the admission of
South Dakota as state, The presiding
officer announced the select committee

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Star
this evening announces that Senator
Vest Will decline reelection in 1890.
1t says: Senator Vest has informed
some of his friends that it is his pur-
pose to retire from the senate at the end
of his present term. This decision has
occasioned no little surprise. The SEN
atOr's most intimate friends can scarcely
believe that he will actually adhere to
his determination, for a seat in the
United States senate can perhaps be re-
tanned by Mr.. Vest during the balance
of his natural life should he desire to
hold it. His tenure will continue as
long as his party retains power in Mis-
souri, and he desires the post, and even
the most Sanguine Republican scarcely
party will carry Missouri. Senator Vest
was elected to the senate in 1878
by the practically unanimous de-
cision Of his party. in Missouri.
He took his seat in 1879, and six years
later was reelected unanimously by the
question that he could be returned with
the same unanimity in 1890, but his
health has been very much impaired,
and he feels the need of rest. Senator
Vest has peculiar hold on the people
he serves. He has their personal regard
to marked degree, they are proud Of
him and feel that they could not do too
much for him.

Speaker Carlisle Again in his
Seat.


Seat.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Speaker
Carlisle resumed his post of duty this
morning aid was greeted with round
of applause.
Mr.. O'Ferrell, of Virginia, submitted
tiOns in the Illinois contested election
case of WorthingtOn VS.. Post. Calendar.
1t confirms the right of Mr.. Post to the
seat. Several private bills were passed,
and one measure referring to the court
of claims the claim of Hannah j. Jones,
eXecutrix of Emanuel Jones. gave rise
to considerable discussion. The facts
are that during the war Emanuel Jones,
a British subject, residing in Mobile,
purchased with confederate money,
number of bales of cotton. In April.
1865, the federal army took possession
of Mobile, and guard having been
placed around the warehouse in which
the cotton was stored, Jones was denied
admission thereto. In August the ware
house was burned down and the cotton
destroyed. The claim is for cotton so
destroyed. Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi,
and MI. Herbert, of Alabama, advocated
the measure as one of common justice.
By the act of the United States govern
ment, Jones was deprived of his
power to ship his cotton OF to insnre it,
and he should have opportunity to ask
the court Of appeals and present the
facts upon which he based his claim for
relief. Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois, op-
posed the bill, and stated that he would
rather pay the claim of brave confed-
crate soldier than that of shylock who
took advantage of the misfortunes of the
people among whom he lived. He
moved to lay the bill on the table.
Pending action on the motion the house

CHIPPEWA FALLS, March 1.-THE in
vestigation being conducted at Wash

affairs in Northern Wisconsin by Indian
Agent J. f. Gregory is keeping quite
number of prominent loggers on tender
hooks. while others secretly rejoice that
a number of crooked deeds are being ex-

pear that the Callagan Bros, of this city,
made charges against Gregory from self
ish motives. However that may be. it
is evident that the complaints of the In
dians would have been unheeded had
not white men taken the matter in hand.
Furthermore, the Callagans are not the
only ones who are sore over buying tim
Der. Some faithful Democrats were
bitten, as Gregory's friends are not all
in Democratic ranks. Many of the
favors were bestowed without thought
of politics, and as a consequence some
of the ''blackest" Republicans have
walked off with the lions share. Further
investigation will bring to light many
affairs, which the interested parties
would prefer not to hear. The Superior

Asbury street by flames rising from
the cellar. He succeeded with difficulty
in waking several more who were sleep

utes nearly 100 families were standing

Immense banks of snow prevented the
