He predicted that the time would
come when the precedent set in the@se
of Andrew Jackson would be followed
in the Senate. and when deep black
line would be drawn around the journal
of yesterdays proceedings.
Mr.. Cockrell then closed his argu-
ment against the proposed rule. 1t
was useless, he said, TO try to disguise
its purpose. Its only object was to pass
the Force bill, the Lodge bill, the bill
which had grappled the Senator from
Massachusetts, and had him in its dead
ly embrace. The Silver bill, the Appro-
priation bill, and everything else were
subordinate TO the. vhims and caprices
OF the Senator from Massachusetts un-
Til he was now trampling on his entire
life record. Apostrophizing Mr.. Hoar,
Mr.. Cockrell exclaimed: "Ah, shame
upon you. My friend from Massachu-
setts, who attempts to force upon the
people of Massachusetts and OF the coun-
try the humiliating confession that they
are no longer capable of holding their
own elections"
He then read from the st. Louis
Globe a letter addressed TO Mr.. Ed
munds by former Republican coDstitu-
ent of his, now living in Weatherford,
Texas, Francis Granger, protesting
against the passage Of the election bill.
Mr.. Edmunds said that he had never
received such letter, and believed that
il was fabrication in order to promote
operations Of resistance to the bill that
was now going in the Senate chamber.
Applause.
Mr.. Cockrell said that the letter spoke
for itself and was genuine letter.
Mr.. Gray followed Mr.. Cockrell in
opposition to the proposed rule against
the elections bill. Mr.. Gray made a
plea TO Senators to let the bill go over
until the next Congress. Mr.. Stewart
then took the floor, but the hour OF six
having arrived the Senate took recess
until tomorrow at II o'clock.

the Force Bill.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, January 23.-
The Senate to-day passed unanimously
the House Joint resolution thanking

4 resolution was introduced setting
forth that the Legislature Of Alabama
had laid upon the table the proposed

Election bill pending in Congress should
be passed such an exhibit would be OF
no value to the State, and calling upon
the Illinois delegation in Congress tc
vote against the passage of the Election
bill in the interests Of the Fair.
Motions to table and refer to COM
mlttee were defeated by the full Demo
cratic vote, aided by the three +. NJ. b,
A. votes aud one Republican. In the

that the two Senators from Illinois hold
the balance Of power in the Senate and
can defeat the passage OF the bill.
Pending action on the resolution, the
hour for the Joint session OF the House
and Senate TO ballot for a United States
Senator arrived. aad the matter went

lot for United States Senator was taken,

by the two men in performing the trick
was about the same, and as far as he
could see they employed the same

cules the idea OF "mind-reading, but
employs muscle reading and legerde-

Johnstone does by "mind reading"

Special Telegram 10 he Register.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, January "a
An interesting time was brought about
in the House this morning by the intro
ductiOn of resolution by Mr.. Young,
providing for the appointment Of COM
mittee TO purchase suitable single desks
and chairs for the members. Mr.. Shaw
explained his opposition to the PROPOSE
tiOn by saying that when a similar
question was up at previous session,
the gentleman from Marshall (Mr.
Hanen) said the reason he SHAW voted
against ii then was the fear that the
next election would change the political
complexion of the House: and now that
the complexion was even better that
to convince his friend he was mistaken,
would oppose it.
Mr. Ferguson thought it economy to
get new and suitable desks, as it is i'm
possible for member to write on his
desk at present, for lack of room.
Mr. Carrie thought the chairs were
good enough. He said that they were
quite comfortable, especially to a farmer
who is accustomed 10 sitting on rail to
rest on his farm.
Judge Ferguson said so far as he was
concerned he would be willing for Mr.
Carle TO bring in rail and sit on it, If
he so desired.
Mr.. Pugh thought it would be
economy to get new desks, and sub
stantiated his argument by scriptural
quotation as follows: There is that
which scattereth and maketh rich; and
there is that which withholdeth more
than is meet, and it tendeth to poverty" "
Mr.. Thompson offered a substitute res
olution providing for appointing a com
Hittee TO inquire the cost of new furni-
ture, and what disposition could be
made Of the old, the committee to re-
port by Monday. Adopted.

HOUSE STIRRED UP
BY Mr.. Cooper in Regard to the 1nvesti-
cation of Commissioner Raum.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 23.-Mr.
Breckenridge, OF Arkansas, caused the
usual delay this morning in the House
in the approval of the Journal, but that
was finally accomplished after it had
been read in full. Mr.. Cooper, of Indi-
ana, rising to question OF privilege,
sent TO the Clerks desk and had read 4
resolution offered by him on Septem-
ber 4th last, making certain charges
against the Commissioner OF Pensions,
and asking for broadening OF the in
vestigation OF that official. This reso-
luton had been referred 10 the select
committee examining previous charges,
and on the llth OF September the chair
man of the committee, Mr.. Merrill, OF
Kansas, had been directed to report the
resolution, but he had never performed
that duty.
During the debate on Mr.. Cooper's
resolution, he made an attack on the
administration of the Pension Bureau,
and he also criticized the action of John
Raum, son OF the Commissioner.
Mr.. Grosvenor, Of Ohio, in defense Of
the Commissioner of Pensions, said that

The time would have come when IL was
not safe for man II he wished to be
treated respectfully to refer to the Amer

Mr.. Henderson, Mr.. Smith and Mr.
Cannon, OF Illinois, briefly defended the
Commissioner OF Pensions.
Mr.. Cooper said be had never learned
that the American flag was n symbol TO
be used for the shielding Of any body
from investigation.
The matter was settled amicably by
Mr.. Morrill, obtaining the original reSo-
luton from the files Of the House, re-
porting it from his committee, and hav-
ing it referred to the Committee on Rules.
The House then went into Committee OF
the Whole on the Naval Appropriation
bill.
Without making any progress with
the bill the committee rose and the

characters are different. Russia, ac-
cOrding 10 the Chamberlain. can only
reap advantage from contact with the

the Chamberlain, had recently shown
that her wealth was greater than ever.
and II was gratifying 10 know that the
two nations were most closely connect

CHARLESTON, w. VA, January ga
In the Senate this morning Senator
Gikeson offered the following reSo-
luton;
WHEREAS, 1t is thought by some OF
our people that the compensation now
received by the Auditor and Secretary
of State is more than it should be, and
that those officers should be paid eX-
clusively by salary, and that the fees OF
those offices should be turned into the
general treasury Of the State
Resolred, That the Auditor and Sec
retary Of State be requested to lay be-
fore the Senate a statement OF all fees
received by them respectively, from all
sources in the year 1890.
The resolution was laid over for one
day. There will evidently be an effort
made To reduce the compensation re-
ceiyed by the Auditor and Secretary ol
state for their services.

STATE OF TRADE.
WESTERN CENTERS OF TRADE FREE FROM
FINANCIAL DISTURBANCES,
Which Have Increased the Confidence ia Easter
Crcl.s-A Moderate but Steady Increase in the
YOlama Of Business-Ths Iron Trade
Improves Little-Ths Failures.

New YORK, January 23.-R. &. Dun
Il Co.'S weekly review OF trade says:
IL has been noteworthy throughout the
recent financial troubles that western
centres Of trade have been compara-
lively free from disturbances aid appre-
hension, and now the energy and growth
OF the west have their effect in larger
trade and stronger confidence in east
ern centres.
In reports of this week a moderate
but steady increase in the volume of
business compared with last year is the
most striking feature. At Chicago a
heavy increase all grain receipts and
in pure meats and hides is noted, with
some decrease in lard and dressed beef,
but in dry goods and clothing trade is
much larger than Il year ago. Trade is
healthy and no fears are expressed.
Cleveland reports money little closer
and collections slow. but a fair trade
and confident.
Reports from the South show i'm
proving business.
At Pittsburg somewhat more activity
is seen in iron, though glass is rather
dull and some factories temporarily
closed. The iron trade is stffened by
the large decrease in production. The
demand for bar does not improve, how
ever, and orders for plates are some
what scarce, and trade in structural
iron is only about fair, but in pipes ex-
cellent. The coal trade is comparative
ly quiet. The market for breadstuffs
has been stronger and wheat has au-
vanced quarter, corn cent, oats Il
while pork and lard are a shade lower.
There is no change in the volume of
circulation, though the Treasury has
put out $500, ZOO more of money than il
has taken in, and has issued in addition
$500, 900 more silver notes. The return
of money from the interior pushes the
rate downward here and greater ease IS
noted at most eastern points with bet
ter demand for commercial paper.
Business failures during days $50. as
compared with All last week and 33s
same week last year.
