March; he is not to go abroad; he is
to settle down in New York; in Wash

Stipend on Novel Grounds.

day took up the private pension bills on the
calendar, and passed all but one Of them
thirty-fve in number On the very last
one (which was the bill to restore to the
pension rolls widow, who had been
dropped becadse of re-marriage there was
a good deal Of discussion, turning on the
point that there was no proof Of the second
marriage, but that, on the contrary, the
woman had been living in such promiscuous
intercourse with men, that she was not liv-
ing long enough with any one of them to
establish the assumption Of marital rela-
tons.
Mr.. Cockrell sought to amend the bill by
making the pension date from the tinie Of
restoration, instead Of dating back TO 1878,
when her name was dropped, but Mr.. Ed
munds argued that IL was not for the
United States 20 make inquiry into tue
moral conduct Of pensioners, and that, IL
the woman had been deprive1 of her pen
sion Illegally, she was entitled e. her back
pension. Finally the bill was recommitted

DEFEAT OF THE HARBOR BILL.
Republicans Tried to Use it as Tariff
Stumbling Block.

WASHINGTON, April 17-Chairman
Blanchard, of the House Committee on
Rivers and Habors, says that he has dis
covered the secret of the opposition which
suddenly developed and defeated the river
and harbor bill yesterday. He declares
that large number Of Republican repre-
sentatives held a caucus, or secret meeting,
and resolved TO oppose the passage of the
river and harbor bill as a means of OBJ
structing the passage Of the tariff bill
They calculated that the friends OF the
former bill would be forced to defend it.
even to the extent Of antagonizng tariff
legislation. Mr. Blanchard expects that
another effort will be made to pass the river
and barbor bill in a week or two, when
further obstructive tactics are looked for,
bnt he declares that he for one will not be
driven to antagonize the tariff bill.

DAKOTA AND THE DEMOCRATS.
Mr.. Vest Tells Why the Party Does
Not Fear New Electoral Votes.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Senate to-
day resumed consideration Of the bill for
the admission of the State of South Dakota
and the organization of the Territory of
North Dakota, and was addressed by Mr..
Vest in opposition to the bill. He denied
that the question was local one. and ad-
mltted that it was partisan in its nature.
The Senator from Wisconsin (Mr.
Spooner) had waved yesterday that en-
sanguned garment known as "the bloody
shirt" and scattered its ruddy remains
around the chamber. He had spoken of
secession and said that there was no differ
ence between States trying to break out of
the union and States trying to break into it,
But what did that Senator say of State
neither i'll or out of the Union, which
claimed to exist us State in spite of the
laws and in defiance Of Congress. If any
Southern community had under
taken to do what the people of Da-
kota had done there would have
been an outcry Immediately, only exceeded
by that in regard to Fort Sumter; and the
senator from Vermont would have pro-
posed piece of Legislation equivalent to
that celebrated legislation which he had
carried in 1876, which put Mr.. Hayes into
the presidential chair; and 'to arms, to
arms, would have been the cry all over

EDMUNDS DEFENDS THE FRAUD.
Mr.. Edmunds wished to say with en-
phasis that he believed and that nine -tenths
of the people of the United States who
knew anything about it believed Che
thoughn that President Hayes was lawfully
and fairly, and justly elected by the votes
of the States, according TO the constitution
of the country; and that the only evil
which had existed in regard to that matter
was the attempt of body of men at head
quarters in New York to buy the electors of
the State of South Carolina, and those men
had not been Republicans
In further discussion of the same subiec
Mr.. Vest declared that in his Judgment,
there had been no necessity for the Electoral
Commission; that the Democrats who con
sented to it had made greal mistake; and
that if they had only stood by their legal
and constitutional rights with the great
gublic opinion of the country behind them
Gov Tilden would have been
seated by right indisputable in the
executive chair. AS to the object of
tho Democratic opposition to the bill being
the keeping out of the three electoral votes
Of South Dakota, Mr. Vest denied it en-
phatically, and declared his belief that
President Cleveland would be elected Presi-
dent by majority, in which three votes
would be so small fraction as not to af-
feet the result to any appreciable extent.
The Democratic Senators were willing
to admit the whole Territory of
Dakota as a State, but they were not will
ing to divide He had believed that the
bill to admit South Dakota had sprung
from personal motives and to achieve per
sonal and party ends.
Mr.. Edmunds took the floor to speak in
support of the bill, but it was laid aside,
with unanimous consent that the vote shall
be taken on it tomorrow

DUTIES ON RICE.
The Committeemen Not in Favor of
Modifying Their Bill

WASHINGTON, April 17.-The members
of the Ways and Means Committee say that
no change will be made by them in the rice
schedule of the tariff bill. They understand
that as it stands it's practically satisfactory
to the rice growers of the country, at tho
same time that il makes a sufficient reduc-
tion in rice duties to crafty consumers.
Consequently it is likely that the changes
desired by the New York importers will
not be made. They are, however, doing
everything in their power TO have the def-
milton of cleaned rice changed

NOT UP TO THE TIMES.
WOOL on THE FREE LIST.

Mr. Kelley said That the proposed law by
putting wool on the free list would abolish
sheep husbandry, destroy the immense
capital embarked therein, and impoverish
more than 100000 men who own fiocks or
are employed IN their care, and by working
this ruin it would diminish the supply of
cheap and healthful animal food now
furnished by the wool growers to
the mining and manufacturing laborers
of the country. 1t would also render the
production Of American tin plates and cot
ton ties impossible by placing those arti-
cles on the free list with wool. BY the
