the four new states were admitted and there
they remained until the action of the Senate
yesterday seating the Republican contestants
under the terms of the resolution presented i'm
executive session Saturday by Hoar. Sanders
and Power were assigned by lot TO the classes
of Senators whose terms expire in '93 and and
'95, respectively.
Among the bills introduced was one by Reagan
proposing an amendment to the constitution for
the election of Senator's by vote of the people.
The Senate bill appropriating $4,000 for the
improvement OF the military reservation known
as Fort Walla Walla, Wash, passed. Also the
House bill for the appointment and retirement
of John c. Fremont as major general of the
United States army.
The House bill to transfer the revenue cutter
service from the treasury to the navy depart
ment was taken up. Z.
Sherman opposed the bill, which was laid
over, and the Senate proceeded to consider the
House Joint resolution for the appointment of
thrty medical examiners for the pension bu-
reau without reference to the civil service law
Faulkner moved to strike out the provision
taxing the appointments from the civil service
ana Cockerell said he had hoped that some ono
of the Republicans, the party of civil service
reform, would have raised his head in defense
OF civil service. This precipitated a breezv
poll1Cdu ueDaIe. Cockcrell tainted the Repul-
mean Senators with lack of sincerity and said

Inc Republicans intend to Tample the civil SER

the pending measure was TO destroy and break
down the civil service law

Sanders (Republican) voted in the affirmative
with the Democrats. The roll call disclosed
the presence of forty-four Senators. Hoar
moved Ill an amendment by inserting the words
under regulations to be prescribed by the
President of the United States'' ''These
examiners" he said, were to be appointed
only for brief service, for an emergency. and
this was additional reason why the general civil
service rules should not apply 1t was ner
fectly clear to him that the record of no party

Senator would be found absolutely in accord

" IT is ALL BOSH,"
The Report About the Rio Grande
and the Rock Island.
GOSCHEN PRESENTS THE BUDGET.
A Favorable Showing for British Finances
The Pan-American Congress DispOses
of the Arbitration Question.

DENVER. Colo, April H.-[Special telegram
to THE HERALD. 1.-THE report that the Rock
Island road has secured the Rio Grande is all
bosh,' said Mr.. Dodge to THE HERALD man this
afternoon. There has been no change in the
relations of the Western to the other roads, and
none is pending. The fact that conductors have
instructions to honor Rock Island passes has
no significance. They also have instructions to
honor passes issued by certain Rio Grande
officials, and have had such orders for long
time.''
You can say to THE HERALD he continued,
that the Rio Grande Western will remain as
at present for an indefinite time, and that my
headquarters will remain in Denver. The audi
tors office will be removed to Salt Lake May 1.
as that is the proper location for it. This has
been contemplated for some time'
In connection with the rumor above contra
dicted it was also reported that the Midland
road would also go to the Rock Island and COM
plete the road to Salt Lake. The Midland
officials deny this. They added that they ex-
pected to run their trains through to Grand
junction and Salt Lake by July l. provided the
Western road is ready then to take them. AS
the Rio Grande will not have its track ready to
run through the tunnel at Tennessee pass be-
fore September it is prOpable that some joint
arrangement will be made to run the Rio Grande
trains over the Midland track between Leadville
and Glenwood until their line is completed

Goschen Presents the BUDGET.

LONDON, April l7.-Goschen, chancellor of the
eXchequer, presented the budget in the com
mons to-day. 1t shows that the expenses ex-
ceeded the estimates by e1l,6OO, and that the
receipts exceeded the estimates by over three
million pounds. Commenting on the gross rev.
enue from alcoholic beverages, e29, 265, 600,
GoSchen said the figures showed universal
rush to the beer barrel, spirit bottle and wine
decanter, 1t was circumstance that must be
deplored. Closer examination would not
diminish the surprise, for the largest increase
had been, of all spirits in the world from rum
1t was mainly at the seaportS. 1t was ar extra
ordinary historical fact that in the years 1873
and 1876, the greatest drinking years recorded,
there was precisely the same rush and precisely
the same proportion of revenue from the differ
ent spirits. Increased prosperity, therefore,
meant great increase in the consumption Of
alcoholic drinks
The postal receipts exceeded the estimate by
100000. The revenue from the telegram ex-
ceeded the estimate by $4,000 The exact sur
plus reached GO, 22l 600 The total reduction of
the national debt for 1889 reached the sum of
tS,293OOO. This amount, added to the reduc-
ton for the previous two years. made a grand
total of t23, $4,000, the largest amount ever
made in the reduction of the debt in the same
length of time.
Proceeding to the estimates for the coming
year, he estimated the expenditure at 6S6 S57
go and the revenue at 800 100000. AS to the
disposal of the surplus, he proposed among
other things, to reduce Indian and colonial

been reduced and the duties on gold and Silver
plate would be abolished. Tipplers who
had largely produced the surplus would
have chance to redeem themselves
owing to the reduction OF the tea
duty by pence per pound CHEERS.
The duty on currants will be reduced from to
shillings per cwt. The increased beer duty
temporarily imposed in 1SS9will be taken off.
The inhabited house duty will be reduced and
all working class tenements under EGO rental
will be exempt from the house tax TCheers. |
Turning from imperial to local finance. he
proposed to raise the revenue for county coun-
Gil purposes by an increased duty of 8 pence a
gallon on spirits and pence barrel on beer.
This would yield 9l,COO000 He hoped the
friends of temperance would be satisfied and
the publicans take a broad view of the cues
tion Goschen spoke three hours.
In reply to MundellaS complaint that nothing
had been done for the cause of free education.
Goschen promised that the subject should be
dealt with at the next session. He also hoped
to deal with the currency question, but would
reserve his opinion regarding the issue of 81
notes.
Sexton said gross injustice had been done

governments proposals by every means in their
power: Formal resolutions were adopted au-
thorizing the proposed increased duties. The

Republicans Disagree ON Silver.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE House and Sen
ate Republican caucus committees are hope
lessly apart on the silver question. After the
last Intellectual meeting of the joint sub-com-
mittee, the House contingent reported to the
full committee a failure to agree. Thereupon
Walker of Massachusetts, addressed the com
mlttee, holding that concessions to the extreme
silver men had been made with the understand
ing that something positive would be achieved !;
but as they failed to reach an agreement the
House committee should revert to the modified
Window bill reported by the coinage commit
tee. This was put as a motion, which pre-
vailed, 10 5. The next step Will be to report
to the House Republican caucus, probably
about Monday night The indications are that
the caucus will accept the House committee
bill and that it will pass the House. Mean
while, the Senate will probably pass its bill and
committee.
