In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE morning hour
was devoted to routine business and at It's
exploration the financial bill was taken I'M.
Stewart suggested that some time be fixed
for taking a vote on the bill and amend
ments and named O'Clock Friday next. No
objection was made and the matter went
over till tomorrow.
The Senate conference report on the
public printing deficiency bill was agreed
to- The financial bill was taken up and
Daniel spoke in favor of free coinage
Plumb followed. He credited the silver
act of last session with having had the
effect of preventing a universal financial
panic. Whatever might be said about its
shortcomings, its effect on the Immediate
situation had been of munificent charac-
ter. He did not share the fears of the
Senator from OHIO (Sherman) as to what
would happen from the free coinage of
silver Perhaps he was not as sensitive
on that point as he might have been if
he had not so often heard similar forebod
ings from the same quarter that had not
been realized. He (Plumb) was not able to
give his support to the bill reported by the
financial committee. He was opposed to
the first section providing for the purchase
of l., 000, 900 ounces of silver. 1t would of
course add that much money to the circu-
lation, but it would inevitably bear on its
face disposition to help certain class of
cersons at the expense Of the treasury. 1t

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. AFTER disposing of
routine business the House went into com
mittee of the whole on the shipping bill
The Senate bill increasing from fifty to
seventy the number of army officers who
may be detailed to military colleges,
PASSED.
The House went into committee of the
whole on the shipping bill.
Herbert, of Alabama, opposed the meas
ure because it proposed to indiscriminate
by giving a subsidy to vessels Of every
character in the foreign trade. 1t was the
natural result of the Mckinley bill.
Dingley, OF Maine, reviewing the deca-
dence of American shipping interests, said
in such a condition as the country now
found itself, with only 1919 per cent. of the
carrying trade, with Great Britain en-
trenched on every ocean route, it was obvi-
Gus it was utterly out of the power of pri-
vate individuals, without assistance in
some direction, to dislodge the shipping of
Great Britain. 1t was said the DILL would
not do for our merchant marine what was
claimed for it. We could Judge of that by
what similar policy had done for France
with a less maritime people than that of
the United States. Within few wears from
the establishment of the subsidy system, the
steam tonnage of France had doubled
With the widest extent of coast known to
any naGlOn, Jne OnlJSQ states could reap
benefit from subsidies far greater than an v
other nation. Italy adopted a subsidy
policy in 1885 and in four years her steam
marine increased 40 per cent. The maxi
mum expense of the bill the first year would
be 81 coo, 000 of which all but about $500. OOO
or 100000 would come from pos tage and
tonnage dues. Taking the highest rate of in
crease in tonnage and he estimated as a re-
suit of the provisions OF the bill the greatest
amount of expenditures that would be
needed in one year would be 81 900 (0, after
which the rate of payment would steadily
diminish.
Dockery, of Missouri, said three causes
constituted an eifectual barrier against any
attempt to restore the American carrying
trade. The first was the difference of cos,
between American and foreign vessels
The second, the greater running expenses
of American vessels were under, and third
the harsh and restrictive features of our
navigation laws, exacting heavy tonnage
dues, consular fees, and other dues Fur
thermore, the Republican policy of exclu-
sion of imports was at war with the in
terest of the American carrying trade
He opposed subsidies and all other protec-
ton to special industries and asked
Farquhar, chairman of committee, how
much the Pacific Mail Steamship company
which at one session, he said, corrupted
the employees,of the House, would get.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-01-08

Farquhar replied it would get the same
as all other steamship companies.
Dockery said that was no answer and
asked if Pacific Mail stock had not risen
on the possibility of the passage of the
bill
Farquhar warmly replied. If it were so,
he was glad of it and hoped the stock Of
every American company would increase
in value.
Dockery retorting said he wanted to
take the fact home to the farmers of the
west that S5.000,000 were being taken out
OF the treasury to sustain and support New
England ship owners. George Could he
understood, was one of the ''laboring men
to be benefited"
Dockery then invited attention to the
restrictive scope of the reciprocity advo-
| Gated by Secretary Blaine. So far as the
| farmers are concerned, defect that was
fatal to subsidy, was alike fatal to recip-
rocity, the farmer could derive no benefit
from reciprocity because the South Ameri-
can countries had almost every article
necessary for their own consumption. Let
the country return to that propitious policy
under which it explored every sea and cast
anchor in every harbor. Divested of arti-
icial restrictions, our marine could renew
and assert its Importance upon the deep.
Pending further debate the committee rose

Indians Returning to Pine Ridge.

CHICAGO, Jan. captain E. L. Higgins,
division headquarters here, received dis
patch this evening from Assistant Adjutant
General Corbin at Pine Ridge, saying a
number of Indians are coming into the
agency from the camp of the hostiles. How
many of the savages are en- route it was
impossible to approximate. According to
the dispatch the general situation had not
greatly changed for the day preceding.
The message said the difficulty was well
expressed by an old Indian who to-day put
in an appearance at Pine Ridge He de-
clared the trouble is that too many lies are
passing in both directions between Pine
Ridge agency and the Sioux camp. The
inference is that when the real situation
becomes clear to both sides the end will be
less distant than has been made to appear.

ing in around the hostiles in the valley of
White Clay creek. General Brooke has
given instructions to each commander of
troops in this vicinity to patrol the country
from one command to the other to see that
no party of hostiles escape. Late last night
the camp was aroused by shots from out
lying pickets about two miles from the
camp. a picket rode into camp and said
band of Indians had tried to surprise them
by shooting at them from behind a pile
of rocks. They Immediately returned the
fire. AS the night was dark the number of
Indians is not known, but judging from the
number of shots they must have numbered
at least twenty. Two troops of cavalry
they could find no Indians During the
firing one of the pickets was slightly
wounded

zR - SALT THURSDAY,

was in the interest of our trade and of
honest money that the country should es-
tablish as nearly as possible parity be-
tween gold and silver. The population of
the country was increasing at the rate of
~ per cent, while the business was in
creaslng at the rate of per cent. The cir
culation should have relation to both popu-
iation and bushes. There should be inter
national bimetalism. He did not hold that
the free coinage of silver was panacea
for all evils, but he did contend it was a
long, wise and much needed step in the
right direction.
Riscock spoke against free coinage. The
people he represented never believed that
the free coinage of silver would place that
metal on parity with gold.
Sawyer moved to go into executive ses-
sion. ''Oh," said Edmunds, "let us take a
vote on this bill now.'" -
Stewart expressed desire that an early
day be fixed for vote, say Saturday.

The session is drawing to a close and this
most important and Immaculate bill ought
to be got into the form of law at the earliest
possible moment. The country, of course,
Is suffering Tor it. Disaster and BANK
ruptcy are said to be impending, and there
fore we ought not to leave a stone I'M
turned to get an immediate vote upon it.

Sir John Thompson's Views.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 7.-Considerable in
terest is manifested here in the latest phase
OF the Behring sea discussion caused by
the publication of Blaine's report to Lord
Salisbury. Blaine seems to have LIT uuon
one or two new points and with a view tn
ascertaining their relative strength Sir
John Thompson, minister of justice. was
asked Tor his opinion upon them Sir John
SAID that in the case of the CeyIon pearl
nsnerles, the jurisdiction exercised by Eng
land was simply to prohibit injurious oper-
atlons against those fisheries by British
subjects and there had been no ATTEMPT to
exclude foreigners from the pearl fisheries
or restrain the operations
What do you think of Blaine's conten-
ton in regard to ST. Helenal"
That" answered Sir John, seems to
De a new point raised and takes the United
States back TO 1916. Napoleon was then
confined at st. Helena and Great Britain's
actions IN excluding vessels from the
waters within eight leagues Of st. Helena
was measure OF war taken in concert with
| the great allied powers who alone would be
interested IN resisting any assertion of
dominion. At that time the assertion of
sovereignty by every maritime power in
the seas surrounding her possession was
vastly more than 1t is to day. II will be for
Blaine to enforce this contention in the
face of the fact that Dwight. who con
Quoted the case for the United States he
fore the Halifax commission, made if a
strong point that the pretenGions of ali
maratime countries at that time could not
be cited at the present day as defining the
| bounds of international law as regards
marine jurisdiction. Great Britain has
been for years asserting sovereignty over
all the seas surrounding the British islands
and she has claimed, with the acquiesence
OF both France and Spain, all the bank
| fisheries within sixty miles of the
| coast of Newfoundland and the
whole of the Gulf of St Lawrence
so that even if the question of ST. Helena
was not entirely exceptional and the result
| of a compact, it belonged to period which
| cannot De cited as a precedent in modern
international law"
| 'What do you think of the questions
which Blaine desires to submit to arbitra-
tion!'
They are all involved in the reference
which Lord Salisbury proposed-What
were the rights exercised by Russia in
Behring sea: How far were they conceded
| by Great Britain. Was Behring sea in
cluded in the Pacific oceang and so on.
Blaine obviously is not sincere in his con-
tention, because he could have raised any
of these questions on a general reference.n
