In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March IA protest
against the ratification of the Russian
treaty which the Senate, over president
pro TEN. Ingalls, adverse ruling, permitted
Coekrell to present in open session to-day,
was from the Wood Working Machine
Hands union of ST. Louis. The reason
given for the protest are that the signers
consider that the ratification of the pend
ing treaty would be a mistake because the
state is without any regular system of JUS
tice state in which exile without the least
judicial process is governmental institu-
ton can offer no guarantee for the honest
use of an eXtradition treaty.
ingalls, to-day introduced a bill providing

or one arm and one leg may get married at
any time he may so desire to some one to
take care Of him and at his death the

soldiers wife refuses to live with and care
for him, he may after her absence for six
months, procure divorce from any county
court upou the payment of 50.

tion seeting forth the widespread depres-
sion and decay of the agricultural interests
of the American people and the enormous
and appalling amount of mortgaged indebt-
edness on agricultural lands; the total
failure of home markets to furnish remu-
nerative prices for farm productions: the
palpable scarcity and insufficiency of
money in circulation in the hands of the
people with which to transact the business
of the country are circumstances of the
most overwhelming Importance to the
safety and well being Of the government;
therefore, be it resolved, That it is the
highest duty of Congress in the
present crisis to lay aside all
discussion and considerations of
mere party issues and give prompt and
| immediate attention to the preparation
uuired for the relief of the farmers and
other over taxed and under paid laborers
of the United States.
