New Bills introduced and Miscellaneous News From
the Nations Capital

WASHIN GToN, June 30.-In the Senate
to-day Mr.. Evarts gave notice that, on ac-
count of the absence (from illness) of Mr..
voorhees,, who desired to take part in the
commemorative services in respect to the
late Mr.. S. S. Cox, of New York, those SER
vices, which had been fixed for tomorrow,
would be still further postponed until Tues
day of next week.
The House bill in relation to oaths in
pension aud other cases was taken from the
calendar and passed.
The House bill for the admission of Idaho
as State was then taken up for considera-
ton. The bill having been read, Mr.. Nor
rill gave notice that he would at the earliest
practicable moment move to take up the
tariff bill.
Mr. Plat said that he could not consent to
any suggestion that interfered with the
Idaho bill. Much as he believed in the
tariff bill, and anxious as he was to see it
passed, he would not consent to its being
taken mp until the Idaho bill was dis
posed of.
THE TARIFF BILL NEXT.
Mr.. German said that there had been no
understanding arrived at as was usual, as
to the order oil business, and that he thought
business would be very much facilitated if
the Senator from Vermont would fix a time
when the tariff bill could be considered-the
latter part of this week or the beginning of
next week.
Mr.. Marrill said that it was not his pur-
pose to interfere with appropriation bills or
with conference reports, but he repeated that
at as early q moment as possible the tariff
bill would be called up.
Mr.. Teller remarked that the tariff bill
could not possibly be taken up this week.
Thursday till Monday, and probably the
Idaho bill would not be concluded this
week.
Mr.. PIatt said the Senate ought to get
through with the Idaho bill tomorrow.
SIS, 900 TO INVESTIGATE INSECTS.
The agricultural appropriation bill was
taken up. Mr.. Coke moved to amend the
paragraph sppropriating SIS 900 for investl-
eating the history and habits OF insects by
increasing the appropriation s.. 500 and di-
rectiDg that amount to be expended in in
vestigations into the natural history of and
remedies for the cotton ball worm. Agreed
to. The bill was then passed.
The consideration of the Idaho bill was
resumed and Mr.. Cullom addressed the
Senate in favor of its passage. He said the
Idaho and Wyoming bills had been reported
from the Committees on Territories out of
a sense of duty to the people of those Terri
tories and of the United States. The commit
tee had been charged with seeking political
advantage because it had not also reported
bills for the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico. He assured the Senate that the
committee was entirely innocent in the mat
ter. If New Mexico were to show a reason
ahlv united disnositinn tn hecome n State he
would perhaps favor its admission. He had
not believed couple of years ago that the
time had come for the admission of New
Mexico, but the people of that Territory
had made rapid progress of late, and it
might be that in a short time, perhaps at the
next session, he would feel it his duty to
vote for the admission of New Mexico.
