TUESDAY,.
The Tariff and Reciprocity Discussed
In the senate.

WAsHrsdroS, Sept. 2.-Mr. Evarts
to-day presented the resolutions of the
Buffalo merchants exchange favoring
reciprocity, not only with the nations to
the south, but also with that OH the
north.
The house bill in relation to lotteries
was reported from the postoflice COM
mittee, and placed on the calendar, with
would ask for It's consideration as soon
as the tariff bill was passed.
The tariff bill was then taken up and
the sugar schedule considered.
Mr.. Carlisle said that he would move
to strike out all the paragraphs relative
to sugar bounties.
Mr.. Hale offered a reciprocity amend
ment, of which he had given notice on
the 10Th of June. and addressed the
senate upon the desirability of such
interchange of products as the amend
ment proposed. He said II had been the
subject which had given rise TO the clos
est attention and had resulted in grave
and pertinent suggestions from eminent
public men In the United States during
the last thirty years. Whoever had
seen the gradual falling oil of the Amer
ican trade with Central and South
America and the isles OF the sea must
have witnessed those conditions with
the greatest impatience. The people of
all those countries had common in
terest with the people Of the United
States.
Alluding to the late American
congress, Mr.. Hale said 1t was proved
that the same considerations which had
their influence In the United States
were also moving In the minds of the
eminent men from our sister republics
who took part in the proceedings Of that
congress. and that they all pointed to
one sure, inevitable end--an increase of
trade between the United States and
those people. Those considerations,
which applied to an extension of trade
and increased interchange for products,
spplied not only TO ti.s nations of Cen
trail and South America, but to the
islands OF the Spanish main.
Mr.. Hale assurec the senator who
represented tho sorghum and beet sugar
districts that he was not In antagonism
with them. IL those senators objected
to the policy Of trying to secure some
benefits from those countries for the re-
peal of the duty ON their sugar, he asked
them how much more they ought to OBJ.
ject to the unreserved repeal Of those
duties. II would be declared n policy
not much short Of lunacy to repeal the
sugar duties. unless that repeal was
used to obtain some benefits for tho
products of American labor. To him

MONDAY.
Mr.. Cooper Rises to n Question Of
Privilege.

WAsnIYeTos, Sept. LIN the house
to-day Mr.. Stockbridge, of Maryland,
moved TO suspend the rules and pass the
bill providing for government inspec.
tion of coali mines in the territories,
agreed to.
Mr.. Cooper, of Indiana, rising to q
question of privilege, stated that one OF
the charges in the resolution offered by
him for the investigation of the COM
missioner Of pensions, was that Of the
commissioner selling stock in the re.
frigerator company to employees of the
pension office. To-day he learned that
one Of the members of the investigating
committee, Representative NJ. l..
Smyser of Ohio, was one of the stock
holders. Mr.. Cooper, therefore, offered
aresolution discharging MIR. Smyser from
the committee.
Mr.. Smyser said he had no intimation
that he was going to be appointed on
the committee until the announcement
was made by the speaker. As a mem
ber ofthe committee he entered upon the
discharge of his duty and had done 1t
faithfully and well. He did own some
of the stock, but that fact in no manner
could affect the integrity and honor OF
any honest man.
Mr.. Smyser felt that there was moth
ing in tho charges against General
Raum in any way rejecting on him,
but In order to satisfy the other side OF
the house and the country and as duty
to himself, he most respectfully asked
to be relieved from further service on
the committee.
The request was granted.
The speaker stated that when he ap-
pointed the committee he had no knowl-
edge of any relation between the gen.
tleman from Ohio and the company re-
ferred TO. The chair had made the ap-
pointments from tho COMMITTEES on PEN
sions and on invalid pensions because
he thought 1t would facilitate the dis
posal OF the matter to have gentlemen
serving ON tho committee who had
some knowledge Of the pension office.
On motion of Mr.. Chapman, of Mhchi-
gan, the senate bill was passed cxtcnd-
ing the criminal jurisdiction Of the cir.
cult ami district courts to the great
lakes, and their connecting waters.
Mr.. Perkins, of Kansas. moved to sus-
pend the rules and pass the bill to ratify
and confirm the agreements with the
Sacs and Fox and Iowa tribes OF Indians
in Alabama, and after explanations by
Aiessrs. Perkins aud Peel, IL was passed,
and the house adjourned.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Passage of Several Measures In RsIq-
tion to Labor.

The house this morning took up the
bill for the adjustment OF the accounts
Of laborers, workmen and mechanics,
arising under the cight-hour law. The
measure was earnestly advocated by
Messrs. Caruth, Dingley, of Maine,
Covert, Morrill,, Flower, Wade, Reilly,
Osborne and Farquhar.
Brewer asserted that the men who
had worked in the navy yards had
entered into a contract with the govern
ment to work ten hours and had been paid
for ten hours work. To-day they wen.
to work under protest. and that they
ought to DO repaid for the extra two
hours was too ridiculous an argument
to be presented.
Mr.. Brewer then offered an amend
ment providing that the act shall not be
operative whenever the court of claims
shall find that claimant has performed
service under any contract, expressed or
implied. and has been paid the amount
agreed upon.
The amendment was adopted and the
bill was then passed.
The house then proceeded to the con-
sideration OF the bill amending the alien
contract labor law.
After some discussion the bill was
passed without opposition, as were also
the following:
The bill prohibiting the employment
OF convict labor on public work; the bill
toprevent the purchase of supplies the
product OF convict labor by the United
states; the bill giving consent to North
Dakota TO appropriate section of land
for the use OF the state agricultural col
lege; and the conference report on the
bill to prevent collisions at sea.
The house then adjourned.

Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, in which

WAsnISGroN, Aug. 30.--Mr. Morgan
to-day presented the resolutions of q
colored mass meeting held at Birming-
ham, Ala, against the passage OF the
federal election bill.
Several unimportant bills of o local
character were passed, and the tariff bill
was then taken up, the pending question
boing on Mr.. Carlisle's motion 10 strike
out the wool paragraphs, SO as to place
wool on the free list.
Mr.. Daniel addressed the senate in
support of the amendment. Facts dem
onstratcd, he said, that the high tariff
Oh wool and woolens should be a COM
plete failure. If that high tariff had
been designed to increase the number
of American sheep, the cultivation OF
fiocks, and the wool clip, 1t had failed.
III the design had been 20 decrease the
price OF wool. 1t had succeeded. The
high duties had not checked the i'm
portation of foreign woods, because
these were necessary for the utilization
of American woois.
