Fiftieth Congress--First Session.
WASHINGTON, March q


SENATE-Mr. Daniel of Virginia, speaking
on the Blair bill, said that if the question
were one of courtesy or of discourtssy to the
senator who had introduced the bill there
would be no doubt in his mind as to how he
should vote. He felt incapable of offering
discourtesy to any senator and certainly he
should go far to avoid doing SO toward one
who had been inspired by such nnsgnanis
nous and generous sentiment as that which
the senator from New Hampshire had exhib-
tied But no public question could ever be
belittled by a question of courtesy. The
question before the Senate was the propriety
of the consideration of the bill. If it had
gone to committee in due course without
vote or comment no one would have felt that
there was anything improper in it, but since
q question had been made upon it he trusted
that no ex-Confederate would dodge that
question, although doubtless his emo
ton might induce him to do SO. If
he OanieD could with propriety de-
he would do so, because in his
Judgment it did not become Confederate
soldier to ask the United States government
for any peculiar right or privileges. The
Confederate soldier had boldly laid down the
gauntlet of war. And when he came out of
the war he had contempt for but two classes
of men engaged in it-frst, those who made
apologies, and second, those who demanded
them. Questions of great international strife
and of great social conflicts never descended
to personalities, but were governed by the
great PHILOSOPHERS of human existence. He
had no doubt that the. Senator FROM New
Hampshire had introduced the bill in a
spirit of bsnevolence, kindness and geHeroei-
ty, but it had not been called for by any
Confederate, nor had it grown out
| of the demands of public senti-

The SO" Cars TO be Handled.

KANSAS CITY, March 20.-A surprising de-
yelopment in che situation of the Burlington
strike to-day was the handling of the boycott
ted freight by all the roads but one-the
Wabash Western. The engineers made no
objection whatever and this circumstance is
partly due to the fact that the grievance COM
mittees some of the roads agreed to make
NO objection to Burlington freight. This
amounts to practical surrender of one
of the weapons with which the men have
been carrying on their contest, but they
stoutly deny that it is an indication of weak
ness. The first freight handled by the San
ia Fe to-day was train of Burlington cars.
The Missouri Pacific, the Fl Scott and Gulf
and the Union Pacific all announced their
willingness and ability to take care of all bus
mess offered.

P1TTTBURG, March 20.-The Chronicle-Tel-

learned that there is a scheme afoot to unite
the four different labor parties to agree upon
one ticket at the national convention in Gin
cinnati May 10. There will be three conven-
tions held at Cincinnati on the same date. 1t

time and place in an effort to unite in one
platform It now crops out that the Green
hackers will hold national convention al
Cincinnati on May 15 This will be compos
ed Of those members of that party which

Green Flag ON st. Patriek's Day.
NEW York, March 20.-Mayor Hewitt
sent to the board Of aldermen to-day letter
explanatory of his action in refusing to per
NIT the Irish fag to be raised over City Hall
on st. Patrick's day. The Mayor makes a
long, careful and very deep analysis of the
ethics as we'll as the law of the subject, and
concludes that the danger line is reached
'Ewhere we must decide if native or foreign
ideas are to rule this city" He says that as
it is part of the Irish demand for home
rule that the Irish should rule Ireland, SO
they should concede the rights of Americans
to rule America. He calls attention to the
fact that under an act of Congress all foreign
born citizens have all equal rights before the
law with native born Amer leans and it
would be manifestly wro ng for public Off
Ger to officially recognize one foreign nation
atty more than another.

they treat the recent dispatches from the
