WASHINGTON, February 16.-In the
Senate to-day the resolution offered by
Plumb some weeks ago, directing in
quiry as to the inefficient mail SER
vice, was taken up and agreed to.
Among the bills introduced and re-
ferred were the following:
BY Farwell, to brevet army officers
on the active and retired list
BY Sabin, to authorize the Presi-
dent to confer brevet rank on army
officers for brilliant" services in the
Indian campaigns.
By Teller, to authorize citizens of
the United States to return estray
cattle from Mexico to the United States
without payment of duties.
The Senate Committee on Finance
reported to amend the Under-Valua-
tions bill. The measure incorporated
three new provisions, the effect of
which is to allow importers to appeal
to a Board of three general apprais-
ers. who shall have final powers to de-
eide all questions as to value and
classification, except so far as law
points may be involved, which points
are to be certified to the Circuit Courts
for determination.
PUBLIC PRINTING.
Manderson's resolution requiring
the Secretary of War to furnish the
Senators on request list of the per-
sons to whom copies of the record of
the rebellion are to be issued was
taken up.
Manderson said that since he in
troduced the resolution, the Secretary
OF War had expressed his readiness 10
comply with the request. He continued
by saying that the distribution of
public documents should be made
under some executive officer.
Vest said that there was unuueg-
tionably a waste of money in the way
of printing documents.
Teller claimed that much matter in
the departments was kept secret and
protested against this. He extended
his ideas in saying that he did not be-
lieve in secret sessions of the Senate
except perhaps when the Senate was
considering any treaty. He thought
that the discussions of combinations
should be public.
In reply to questions from the other
Senators, Teller said that while he
did not think Cabinet meetings should
be held publicly, yet when the Cabi-
net came to conclusion on any sub
ject, that conclusion was properly for
the whole people, and the President
had no right to conceal it. The reso-
luton was adopted.
BORDER SMUGGLING.
Morgan offered resolution calling
on the Secretary Of the Interior for
information as to the smuggling over
the Mexican border, in consequence
of the Mexican free zone, and calling
on the President for copies of CORES
pondence with the government of
Mexico on that subject. Adopted.
Teller introduced bill to establish
a land Office at Folsom, New Mexico.
Referred
The Senate then adjourned until
Monday.

tory, and finally to the Exchanges
Hotel.
To-day the whole square is mass
of smoking ruins except the Aldrich
House corner, where the granite walls
stand in weak condition. All the
guests Of the hotels escaped, but saved
very little. The total loss is estimated
at from $500, 900 to 500 ,0C0.
A LATER ESTIMATE.

THE TREATY'S TERMS.
Privileges Conceded to
American Fishermen.
OUR RIGHTS WELL PROTECTE
No Changes Necessary in the Tar
iff System-COmments in
Canada.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, February 16.-The
fisheries treaty was the subject of much
speculation and discussion at the capi-
tai to-day. While declining to give any
specific information IS to it's provi-
sions, Secretary Bayard tonight said
to an Associated Press reporter, that
for many years the great contentious
among American fishermen have been
for fair and just construction Of the
treaty OF 1918, and that the present
treaty had been framed by the Ameri-
can negotiators with view to meet
the needs and necessities of the Amer
ican fishermen, and he believed that
if the treaty is ratified that end will
have been accomplished.
From trustworthy source it is
learned that American fishermen are
secured in all the commercial privil-
eges for which they have been con-
tending, with the exception of the
right to purchase bait in Canadian
water, which is expressly withheld.
Their right to touch at Canadian ports
for fuel, water and repairs is conceded.
Certain bays which are specified
are to remain under the exclusive
Jurisdiction of Canada. There is
nothing in the provisions Of the
treaty, it is said, which necessitate
the removal OF the duty on Canadian
fish or in any way changes the
American tariff system. In its i'm
portant features, the treaty, it is
stated, is favorable to the United
States, and while new and valuable
privileges have been acquired, this
has been done without any costly
sacrifice on the part of the Americans.
Secretary Bay ard said tonight that
the published reports purporting to
give the essential features of the
treaty were unauthorized and wholly
wrong.
The American negotiators left for
their homes to-day. Sir Charles Tup-
per and Mr.. Chamberlain will remain
in Washington for few days longer,
the latter expecting to sail for Eng
land in about week.
OPINION IN CANADA.
OrTAwA, February 16. - Foster,
Minister of Marine and Fisheries,
says that the reports sent from Wash
ington regarding the terms of set
tlement OF the fishery question are
specimens of bad guess work. AL.
though Foster does not speak warmly
of Canada's luck, he says that the
settlement reached, will, if endorsed
by tho Senate, promote better rela-
tions between the two countries.

NEW HOUSE RULES
NEWSPAPER CRITICISM.

The Daily News, referring to
O'Brien's speech, says that his dis
play OF wondrous magnanimity will
certainly appeal with irresistible
force to the English people. The
Tories will be unable to complain OF
any bitterness on his part, although
the occasion justifies bitterness.

IRELAND'S CHAMPION.
O'Brien Speaks of the
Crimes Act.
SOME SHARP CUTS AT BALFOUR
AllusiOn Made to the Treatment
Of Irish Political
Prisoners.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.

LONDON, February 16. - In the
Commons to-day, Labouchere asked
further questions regarding England's
position toward the other nations and
under-Secretary Ferguson again de-
clined to produce the correspondence
between the government and foreign
powers. Ferguson further said that
he was happy to inform the House
that the fishery treaty had been
signed in Washington. The govern
ment believed it satisfactory, although
yet unaware of the precise terms.
VIM. O'Brien resumed the debate
on the address OF reply to the Queens
speech. He said that Balfour had
failed to smash the Irish organization
weaken the spirit of the Irish people,
or degrade them in the eyes of the
world. Abject discontinue and dis
grace attended the Crimes act, the
operation of which proved it to be
one of the most horrible measures
ever directed against human liberties.
O'Brien said that he did not feel
wounded nor in the least disgraced by
his own imprisonment. While in
prison he resented and felt keenly
Balfour's steslthy, loathsome insinua-
tions that he (O'Brien) sheltered him
self under plea OF illness. Now they
were face to face, and he challenged
the Government to produce prison
doctors to prove the truth
of the insinuations. (Parnellite
cheers.) 1t has been asserted
that the imprisoned Leaguers tried to
secure distinction between the treat
ment given them and the imprisoned
peasants, but there was no foundation
for the assertion. When the govern
ment asked them voluntarily to ac-
knowledge their kinship with crimi-
mails they answered "We will die
first. You will have to learn the
difference between representatives Of
the criminal classes and Irish political
prisoners, even if It takes coroner's
jury to announce the distinction"
AN IMPORTANT MEASURE.
The new local Government bill in
final form as unanimously adopted by
the Cabinet, creates new county
boards on purely elective basis.
The conditions OF suffrage at the
election of members Of boards are to
be the same as at parliamentary
elections. These boards are tc
have entire control of the po.
lice force within their jurisdiction,
and also TO issue and annul pubiicaas
licenses, accompanied by pro-
vision for the compensation Of pub.
licans for the loss Of their licenses,
unless these privileges be annulled in
consequence OF violation of the law.
The House agreed to Lord Randolph
Churchill's amendment, asking for a
special commission to inquire into the
Board of Public Works scandals.
NEW HOUSE RULES.
The Governments new rules of pro-
ceedure provide that the Commons
shall sit from P. NJ. until l A. NJ,
with dinner hour; that the cloture
rule may be applied if there is ma
jority of 100 instead OF 200 as at pres
ent, and that the Speaker may sus-
pend for the sitting, disorderly MEM

time, and the Rev. B. Lyman the one who
unified them. Flowers and fair maidens
graced this memorable scene. The audience
was highly appreciative of the ceremony,
after which they each and all extended to
the happy couple the well deserved con-
gratulations. Mr.. Batesen's example is one
worthy of the highest emulation. 1t is
worthy Of remark that as our fellow citizen

Bottineau's bellies, he was the recipient of
quite an ovation. With characteristic coy
ness, M. o. 7. blushed profusely and pro-
foundly.
