and having selected and located the best
route. force OF $50 men is now actively
engaged on the construction, and several
miles have already been graded. The
road connects at Powhatan station, about
eighteen miles from Richmond, with the
Richmond and Danville railroad, thus
giving Richmond direct communica-
tion with Farmville, and it also connects
with the BTighthope railroad, and thus
Fhrmville gets an outlet to the ocean at
Bermuda Hundreds. The total length
OF the line will be about ninety-nine
mites, and rs the railroad company has
valuable county and town subscriptions,
which subscriptions are payable to the
State for the use Of the conyicts, the
company is put upon such solid finan-
cial basis that the road is certain to be
completed. What is gratifying in this is
that this road is operated and fnsn-
ciered almost entirely 10y citizens OF this

FIFTiETH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON. March !, 1888.
Senate.


The credentials of Mr.. Wilson, of
Iowa. for the senatorial term beginning
the 4th OF March, 1889, were presented
by the presiding officer and placed on
file.
The resolution reported yesterday by
Mr.. Sherman, from the Committee on
Foreign Relations, requesting the Presi-
don't to negotiate a treaty with the En-
peror of China containing a provision
that no Chinese laborer shall enter the
United States, was taken up, discussed,
and adopted.
The pension bill was then taken up,
the pending question being on the
amendment offered yesterday by Mr..
Wilson, of Iowa. to add the words,
" from the infirmities of age"
Mr.. Beck said that he understood the
meaning OF the amendment to be that
every man who served in the late
war, or in the war with Mexico,
or il any Indian war, and who
was suffering under the "infirmities
of age" would be entitled to pension
OF Sl2 per month. He supposed that
every man over fifty or sixty years of
age would consider himself as suffering
under the infrmities of age. Could the
Senator from Iowa or any other
senator guess how much money
that amendment, If adopted, would
take out of the Treasury? He
ventured to assert that five hundred
millions will not half cover the amount
of expenditure under it. There was no
use, he said, OF talking Of surplus in the
Treasury. This bill would settle that
for all time to come. The moment Con-
gress undertook to pension all the men
who became old the country will be
bankrupted unless the taxes were
doubled, tripled, and quadrupled. A
robber or monopolist could not have
drawn a bill in their own interest more
adroitly than this bill was drawn.
Incidental to this phase of the bill
Mr.. Beck digressed to a discussion of
the tariff, and later on the demonetiza-
ton OF silver and "trusts" Inter-
ruptions and questions by other senators
turned the discussion into an interlocu-
tory debate. participated in by Messrs.
Bawley, Plumb, sherman, Aldrich,
Platt, Teller, and Mcpherson.
Without vote on the pending amend
ment the Senate adjourned until Mon
day.
