by United Press.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 3.-The Sen
ate agreed to adjourn from to-day until
Monday.
Mr.. Plumb offered resolution which
was agreed to, calling upon the Secreta-
~ of War for information as to whether
articles were being manufactured at the
national military homes, in competition
with private enterprises, and the reason
and authority for it.
Mr.. Berry sent to the desk to be read
papers concerning the charges that un-
usual facilities were afforded firm of
Washington attorneys in the land Office.
They included letter sent by the at
torneys (H. W. Combs & Coy to the
clerk of the Columbia county, Arkansas,
Offering to supply patents in that county
| for 81 each (the clerk to return one dol
lar); letter..from acting commissioner
Stone extending these facilities to the
| firm and a letter from the assistant
| secretary.
Bussey, of the Interior Department,
certifying to the reputable character of
the firm.
Mr.. Berry said that one member of
this firm, Thomas a. Mckee, was an
officer of the House of Representatives
The question was discussed without
action.
| Senate bill to establish court to set
tie private land claims was discussed un-
til p. M, when Mr.. Vest resumed his
argument against the subsidy bill.
| Mr.. Vest said he was as anxious as
Mr.. Blaine to open the ports of South
| America to American products. He sin
cerely desired the extension of com
merce, and that the American flag might
again be seen in every port and on every
sea. But the question was one as to
the means to bring about that end. The
senator from Maine (Mr. Frye wanted
subsidies. He (Mr. Vest) opposed them
in toto.
| Mr.. Vest went on to speak of the late
Pan-American conference, and he sent
to the clerks desk and had read a clip
ping from the New York Herald of a
Buenos Ayres correspondent to show
what prominent and intelligent citizen
of Buenos Ayres, Senor Pierra who ac-
companied the Argentine delegates to
Washin ton, thought of the conference,
of Mr. Blaine, Mr.. Curtis and the u S.
delegates.
AS soon as the clerk had finished the
reading of this very caustic criticism,
Mr.. Hawley asked Mr.. Vest wheth .r he
, knew who wrote that; and whether il
was quite fair and decorous to have
printed such q mass Of irresponsible
blackguardism.
, MIR. Vest replied thaJ the gentleman's
name was given in the communication
Mr.. Hawley-I re-affirm what said
that the man who speaks as he does OF
honorable gentlemen, and who says ot
American colleges that degrees can be
obtained for $4,000, says wifully that
t which is false.
t Mr.. Vest-That may be ascribed te
the ignorance of American colleges.
Mr. Hawley-And to her ignorance O
all the laws that govern gentlemen.
;. Mr.. Vest-He is Secretary Of society
in Buenos Ayres, and accompanied tht
delegation from the Argentine Republic
t to the pan-American conference.
J Mr.. Hawley-And you may add tt
: that description that be is liar an(
i blackguard.
Mr.. Vest-That is question between
a him and the Senator from Connecticut
q Mr. Hawley-The Senator from Miss
/ issippi, introduced his friend here.
: Mr.. Vest-The article was published
in New York paper, extracted from ;
paper in Buenos Ayres and has gon
K broad cast over the country.
q Mr.. Hawley, the Senator from Mis-
II souri,, will not endorse what that black
r guard said
Mr.. Vest: have not endorsed it, bu
# if the Senator will contain himself
= moment, will state my object in quot
10 ing it here.
A. Mr.. Vest then explained that his OF
h ject in having the statement read was
show that the assumption Of this admir-
istration that wining and dining woul
er affect our commercial relations was q
81 fault. Nothing but self-interest woul
-" do that.
lg Mr.. Wilson, Of Maryland, spoke i
g oppo sition to the bill.
81 The bill went over without action.
o. The conference report on the agricu
tural appropriation bill was presente
ne and agreed to.
