WASHINGTON, March 20 In the senate
Mr. Pierce Mr. Call and Mr.. Evarts made
speeches on the educational bill, and Mr.
Voorhees, spoke at length on his resolution
as to agricultural depression. Vice Presi-
dent Morton resumed the chair Of the pre-
siding officer A bill TO increase the pen
sion Of a soldier Of tue war OF 1872 Isaac
n. DAILY. 9S years old from IS 10 $50 a
month, was passed. The resolution offered
by Mr. VOORHEES, last Monday as TO agri-
cultural depression was taken up, and Mr.
VOORHEES, addressed tho senate in relation
to it.
Mr.. Voorhees, on Agricultural Depression.
1t was now nearly thirty years, he said,
since the close Of terrible war had given
to unhallowed avarice an opportunity to
prey upon the self sacrificing patriots Of the
country. The measures then resorted to for
the taxation Of one class Of citizens and for
the enrichment Of another class had been
the legislation by which the burden Of the
public debt had been doubled, silver demon
stized and high protective tariff estab-
lished The time would come at no distant
day whom the farmer would look on the
proposition to tax him and his wife and
children for the protsotion and benefit Of
other people besides himself as he would
look on a law Of congress to establish the
army worm aud weevil on his wheat, to in
fest his cattle with murrain and his hogs
with cholera. 1t was a notorious aud self
evident truth that the tariff, as it now
stood, increased the farmers expense ac-
count from IS to 100 per cent on every i'm
plement OF industry with which he toiled,
and last year binding twine had been en-
HANGED eighteen cents pound by the tariff
and twine trusts. Mr.. Voorhees, held that
the value Of improved farm land had de-
creased 35 per cent. in the last five years
MIR. Evarts AID the Blair BiIi.
The educational bill was then taken up
Mr. Pierce spoke in opposition. to the bill, or
in favor of postponing action on it until
next December Mr. Evarts followed with
a speech in support Of the bill He has seen
the bill pass twice with great concurrence
on the Republican side of the chamber and
with large assent on the Democratic side I;
but then the situation Of congress and Of the
executive had been such that there was no
reasonable expectation Of the bill becoming
a law. If the bill could have been sub
mitted to "a vote of the house Of represent
atives it would have passed with great
deal Of enthusiasm, but the dictation Of the
Democratic caucus and Of the committee
rooms prevented its being presented to the
house.
There had been also question whether the
then executive would have approved the
bill. Now, all that was changed What
ever should be the action Of the senate, if
it passed the bill. it was doomed to pass the
house, and was sure to receive the approval
Of the president There would have, he
said, TO be found something TO satisfy the
northern people if the bill were now killed
in the senate better than bad been pre-
sentei by any of the opponents OF the bill.
Mr. Call spoke in favor of the bill. He
supported it because it was donation with

standing after the disastrous calamity of

working in the debris Several injured men
have been taken out and search is being

torn down by the mayor. The injured so
far as known are: George Harter, about
the knees and hand Peter Alban, hips,
back and head; and William Meadows, side.

Reports OF eye witnesses are very conflict

Another New Cruiser for Uncle Sam.
PHILADELPHIA, March The United

signed under Secretary Whitney's admins
tratiOn of the navy and the last of the three
steel cruisers built by Cramp 4 sons was
launched from her wooden cradle at Cramps
ship yards, on the Delaware, yesterday
afternoon. The launch notwithstanding
the unfavorabie weather, was witnessed by
a large number Of people, including dele
cation of members Of congress, naval

The Newark is $40 feet long, 40 1-6 feet In
extreme beam and with maximum draught
of 20ls feet. and mean draught Of 1884
feet, giving her an intended displacement OF
| 4053 tons. She has twin screws, horizontal
triple expansion engines, which, it is hoped,
will furnish 5000 horse power under natural,
and 8, 500 under forced draught, giving to her
a speed OF eighteen knots The Newark will
have bark rig. She has a double bottom
extending 129 feet, or much more than {
third Of her length. The vessel will be slight
ed throughout by the incandescent system
Of electric lighting, and she will be supplies
with electric search lights. The vessel !
fitted as a flagship, the space under the poo
being converted into quarters for officers
The Newark will have twelve six-inch higl
power breech loading rifles, like the armn
msnts Of the Philadelphia and the San Fran
cisco, and it is expected to have also abou
a dozen rapid fire and machine guns in he
secondary battery All her appointment
and appliances for drainage, pumping, ven
tilation and electric lighting win be Of th
best modern sort, and no doubt she vii
prove valuable addition to the navy.
