WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Various an
nual reports, including that of the sec
retary of the treasury, were presented
and appropriately referred to the SEN
ate to-day. Mr.. Frye at 1890 moved to
proceed to the consideration of the
Union Pacific settlement bill. MI.
Mitchell opposed the motion, ON the
ground that he had had no time to OK
anime the report. Mr.. Teller also IA
vored a pOstponement of the matter.
Mr.. Frye said he did not, of course,
wish to urge the bill upon the senate if
sufficient opportunity had not been
given for reading the report and investl-
eating the subject, but the matter was
a very familiar one to the senate. The
report had been made in writing, and
had been printed as long ago as July
last. The bill, he thought, could be dis
posed of in four or five morning hours.
Mr.. Plumb regarded the bill as being
matter more OF private than public
interest. There was no particular
reason for haste, as the debt would not
mature for nine years. In his judg-
bate. Without saying what might
eventually become of the bill, he
thought it would be found to be one of
rather more importance than the sena-
tor from Maine seemed to think. Mr..
Frye asked that the bill be made
special order for Tuesday next. On
Mr.. Plumb's objecting, Mr.. Frye gave
notice that tomorrow he would ask to
have special order. On motion of Mr..
Allison the tariff bill was then at 1890
taken up for consideration. MIR. Vance
said that Democratic senators who had
amendments to offer to the tobacco sec
ton (the first in the substitute), were
not prepared to offer them to-day, but
would be tomorrow. He therefore
asked it's postponment till 2 o'clock to-
morrow. Mr.. Allison-If this bill is to
be postponed till tomorrow, suggest
that it be taken up Immediately after
the morning business. Mr.. Vance
That will be agreeable to me. The
bill was postponed till tomorrow, and
the senate at 1855 adjourned.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 4.-The supreme
court to-day rendered decision fayor4
able to the plaintiff in the case of Wights
man VS.. The Chicago G. Northwestern
Railroad Company. Wightman was
elected from Northwestern train for
insisting on presenting the detached
portion of rOund-trip ticket, which
contained the words, "NOt good for
passage if detached" Wightman had
the other portion of the ticket. which
had been inadvertently separated, but
the conductor maintained a strict cOnt
structi0n of the wording, and, in cOpse-
quence, Wightman was put off. He
subsequently obtained Judgment for
$500 i'll the circuit court, and the case
was appealed and the decision of the
lower court sustained. Justice Cassa@
day says in his opinion in the case:
''The words Not good for passage If
detached would seem to have been sd
placed upon the ticket to prevent im4
position by separation of the parts
and the use of each as a single trip
ticket, but when such parts of the
tickets became separated by such inad4
vertence, and are then i'm good faith
presented together and at the same
time to the same conductor on the going
trip, the purpose of such words would
seem to be as fully attained as though
the two parts of the ticket had not been
previously separated"

GATHERING OF GREAT MEN.

Meeting of the Board of Promo
ton of the Proposed Constitu-
tional Centennial.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-There was a
notable gathering at Willard's hotel to-
day. The members of the board of
promotion of the proposed constitu-
tional centennial and the world exposi-
ton assembled there at noon. This
board includes representative men
from every part of the country.
This was "a general meeting
of the board to hear the re-
ports of officers and of the executive
committee showing the progress made
in the work of preparing the way for
the proposed celebrations. Mayor Smith,
of Cincinnati, as vice president, took
the chair. Mayor Smith made a brief
speech, commencing the objects that
they had in view. Mayor Smith called
for the report of the executive commit
tee. Secretary Anderson presented
this in an address. He said that the
100000 people of the new
world desire to commemorate the
4OOth anniversary of the discovery
of America by Columbus, and
eighteen American sister republics de-
sire to celebrate the centenary of the
Inauguration of constitutional govern
ment upon the Western hemisphere.
The movement, he said, has received
the written Endorsement of the COVER
nors of forty states and territories, who
have formally accepted membership in
the national board of promotion. 1t
has been indorsed by the mayors of
fifty-seven leading cities, 160 presidents
and secretaries of boards OF trade
throughout the United States,
and the masters and secre-
territorial oranges. In brief, it has re-
ceived the cordial and enthusiastic ap-
proval of the press and public of the
three Americas. In addition to this,
the government of Spain has acted Off
cially in the matter, and has expressed
desire to pay tribute to America by
celebrating the four-hundredth ami
versary of its discovery. Secretary
Anderson explained that the proposed
exhibit by merchants and manufact-
urers is but a temporary affair for the
six months of 1892. and should then
be removed; whereas the state and
territorial and the three Americas
exhibit should remaia for all time, as
lasting monument to the progress and
developement of American states and
nations. The proposed exposition of
the three Americans at Washington, he
said, is matter of transcendent practi-
cal Importance to the merchants and
manufacturers of the United States,
and may easily be made the entering
wedge to an enlarged foreign COM
merce with the rest of this -hheenniii=
sphere. Letters from a number
ofMprincipal people, who were un-
able to be present, were read. Resolu-
tons were offered and adopted to the
effect that the bills now pending in con-
gress having in view centennial cele-
bration in 1889 of the adoption of the
constitution, and Three-Americas eX-
position in 1899, are heartily approved
by this convention, and that their
passage is hereby earnestly petitioned
for. This evening the members of the
board were entertained at a banquet.

Up a Whole Day to Kill Off
Monument Measure.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The feature
of the house proceedings to-day was
the unsuccessful effort to pass the bill
to erect monument to Maj. Gen. Henry
Knox. The speaker laid before the
house the annual reports of the secre-
tary of the treasury and the comptroller
of the currency, which were appropri-
ately referred. Mr.. Macdonald, of
Minnesota, presented petition of citl-
ZenS of North Dakota for the immediate
admission into the Union of South Da-
kota and Montana. During the clos
ing days of last session Mr.. Ding
ley, of Maine, succeeded in hay
ing made a special order for
to-day bill for the erection of monu-
ment to Maj. Gen. Henry Knox, at
Thomaston, Me-, but subsequently Mr..
Kilgore. of Texas, entered a motion to
reconsider the vote by which the order
was made. Mr.. Dingley to-day called
up this motion and moved to lay it on
the table. After tilibustering tactics on
the part of Mr.. Kilgore, the yeas and
nays were ordered, and Mr.. Dingley's
motion prevailed-yeas 125, nays So.
The house then proceeded to the con-
sideratiOn of the bill. Mr.. Dingley said
it was senate bill. He briefly sketched
the public service Of Gen. Knox. Mr..
Kilgore did not think that Gen. KnoX's
reputation was superior to the constitu-
tion OF the United States. In his opin-
ion congress exceeded its authority in
using the money wrung from the people
by taxation to erect monuments in Maine
or Texas or Colorado. MIR. Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, said that there were upon
the calendar twelve bills for the cree
ton of monuments throughout the
country. the appropriations contained
therein aggregatlng S275, 1000. 1t seemed
to him that the government was going
into the monument business rather at
wholesale. Mr.. Spinola, of New York,
favored the bill. On the demand for
the previous question the vote stood:
Yeas Ill, nays 46-no quorum-and
call of the house was ordered. Further
filibustering ensued. Finally, Mr.. Ding
ley yielded to Mr.. Mansur, of Missouri,
to offer an amendment locating the
monument in Washington. The previ-
Gus question was ordered on the amend
ment and the third reading of the bill.
On Mr.. ManSur's amendment the vote
stood: Yeas &c, nays 92-no quorum
and more calls followed. This pro-
ceedure was continued until o'clock,
when the house adjourned.

people of the South are perfectly will
ing to have that direct tax refunded to
the Northern states, but they want, at
the same time, to be relieved of the old
cotton tax. 1t is safe to predict stormy
scene: but the bill, once before the
house, will undoubtedly pass, fornearly,
If not quite, four-fifths of the members
