The Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 9.-The first half hours session of the Senate consumed in the presentation of peti- tions-most of them from religious as- sociations-for the closing of the Worlds Fair Sundays, and from State granges on various subjects of proposed legislation. Among the bills proposed and referred was one by Mir. Sawyer to authorize the establishment of postal telegraph service.
 Mir. Morgan moved to reconsider the vote whereby Mir. Dubois was declared entitled to retain his seat, but it was laid aside temporarily.
 The pure food bill was then taken up and speeches were made by Messrs. Berry and Paddock.
 Mir. Palmer expressed his sympathy with the purpose of the bill. The State of Illinois had laws to punish the sale of adulterated food and drugs, and those laws, if enforced, were entirely adequate for the purpose. It was to be regretted, however, that they were not thoroughly enforced. The ques- tion was then taken on Mir. Coke's mo- ton (made some days ago) to strike out Secs. and 5. The vote resulted yeas l3, nays IS. No quorum, and the Senate adjourned.

SPRINGER MAY LIVE.
PASSED A GOOD NIGHT AND IS
 BETTER TO-DAY.
Lively Colioquy Between the Speaker and Mr. Reed-Chilean Minister Month to Bc Called Home-The Pension Ex- animation Continued.

WASHINGTON, March 7.--Mr. Springe' rested well last night and is much bet ter to-day. His physicians believe that the crisis of his illness has passed and that all that is needed to insure their patients recovery is little confidence on his own part The night was long and anxious one to the watchers beside the stricken Congressman's bed. He slept all through the night and did not awaken till broad daylight. His eyes were brighter than when they had closed in sleep. But the tired, worn out leader of the House longed for 6 rest, and with smile, the first the watchers had seen since he had been stricken down, he shut his eyes once more and fell asleep again. It was then the dark clouds of despair parted and the sunshine of hope came through.
 At 8 o'clock the doctors came. They entered the sick-room on tiptoe, gazed intently at the face of the sick man, noted his breathing, which was full and regular, and exchanged glances of satisfaction. They inquired for the iccofu oi 'hc hiRht anu uPon receiNihR it showed still more satisfaction.
 There is marked improvement in his appearance since yesterday. His face is less puffed and clearer. The cough which characterized the begin ming of the sickness is less frequent and his temperature and pulse are nearer the normal. If this improve ment continues through another night the physicians will pronounce him well on the road to recovery.

FREE COINAGE SCORES v,o
 TORY IN THE HOUSE.
The Vote 100 to s4-The Berinp s.. Dispute Becoming serious-Mr. Shrine. CTS Condition shows Slight Improve ment-Proceedings of The s.n.,.

WASHINGTON, March e.-Sir Ju,ian Pauncefote was at the State Depart. ment to-day in conference with Assist. ant Secretary Wharton over the details of the Bering Sea'controversy. Nothing was presented to show that Lord Sails. bury is ready to modify the suggestion of a limited zone instead of a renewal of the modus vivendi There was in fact nothing to show that the situation is less critical. mn. less the independent talk about the propositions of the Brit ish Foreign of- flee not being final can be so considered. The position of the United States. how. ever, is final and definite. It is will ing to ratify the arbitration treaty. provided renewal of the modus vi. vendi can be assured to protect the seals in the interim before the results of arbitration can be had If this pro- lection cannot be secured by interna- tional agreement with Great Britain this country will undertake to do it alone.

The House.

WAsnINGToN, March 9.-The Demo cratic party is for free coinage. The House, which has a Democratiec mem. bership of 236, showed this plainly to- day in the skirmishing over the Bland bill and the adoption of the special order by ls0 to s4. It was only slirm- ishing, because the fighting was over the report of the committee on rules setting aside three days, beginning March 22, for the discussion of that measure. Mir. Bland said the free coinage question was one which ought to be considered outside and inde pend ent of any party exigency connected with it.
 Mir. Pierce of Tennessee said that the Democratic party had favored and would ever favor bill for the free coinage of silver. Within the last four years twenty-eight Democratic State conventions in their platforms had de- clared for the coinage of silver.
 The House then took up the pension appropriation bill. Mir. Grout moved 10 recommit, with instructions to in- crease the aggregate from Sl33, 900, ,O00 to sl44, ,000, ,o00. This motion was de- feated, the bill passed and the House adjourned.

CUDAHs WILL FIGHT.

The Chicago Packer Trying to Control the
 Stock Yards Business at LouisviIle.
 LOUISVILLE, March "A war is on between John Cudahy, the big pork packer, recently from Chicago, and the Bourbon Stock Yards company of this city. Cudahy wanted to control the entire live stock business in this section and offered the Bour- bon people guaranty of 1 per cent on their investment if the company would turn the yards over to him. His offer being rejected he began to build yards of his own in South Louisville, and is trying to induce the cattle merchants to move to his place of business. The Bourbon yard has the advantage of an exclusive contract for several years with the Louisville & Nashville railroad, but Cudahy thinks he can compel the road to deliver stock at his pens and will fight the matter in court.

United States VIII Negotiate.
 OTTAWA, Ont, March s.-one of the reciprocity delegates who recently vis- tied Washington, when shown the cable dispatch regarding the announce ment of Sir John Gorst in the British parliament that Great Britain intends to prevent the arrangement between the United States and the British West Indies increasing the duties on British manufactures, said:
 You have now before you the true position of facts as regards the result of our negotiations with the United States. The United States emphatic ally declines to negotiate on any other lines than those which would involve a discrimination against Great Britain in the matter of tariffs. In their policy to maintain the friendly relations with Great Britain, our present government is sustained by the people and we are not prepared to make any departure from it. We did not leave Washington without having the fact fully impressed upon us by Secretary Blaine and Gen. Foster that 1t was useless for us to at tempt negotiations unless we were pre- pared to discriminate in favor of the United States against the manufactur- CTS of Great Britain"

LETTING THE MINISTER DOWN EASY.

Montt's Recall Is Because of Dissatisfac-
 ton at Santiago Over Ills Course.
 WASHINGTON, March 7.--Partial con- firmation of the report that Minister Montt has been called home by the Chilean government is found here. The attempt to make out that his election as Deputy for Petorca is a promotion is misleading. It means simply that his cousin, the President of Chile, has found way of letting him down. During the con troversy over the Baltimore outrage he deceived his home gov ernment into the belief that his intrigues with ex- Mayor Grace would let the Chileans out C hat affair without any baekdown- His attempt to influence American sentiment against Minister Egan, who had saved his neck from Balmaceda's halter. made everybody in official cir cles suspicious of him. It is possible after Montt returns and the Baltimore indemnity is settled that Minister Egan will come home, but it will be for the purpose of receiving diplomatic pro motion.

CRIsP's HOUSE IS TOO CARELESS.
Measures Pass the Body Without suffi-
 cient Inspection.

Cteut hhspecttOns
 WASHINGTON, March 2. - Speaker Crisps House, in matters of legislation, is proving a rather careless one. It was constant complaint against Mir. Reed that legislation slipped through in an imperfect state. But there was nothing done while Speaker Reed pre- sided that compares with the perform ances of Speaker Crisp. Some time ago the House passed the Oates blaclmail bill, which made it possible for any statesman who thought himself ridiculed to have the newspapers or the correspondents ridiculing them punished for black mail This was probably the grossest abuse of legislative power that ever went through the House. The plea was made that the Judiciary commit tee, which reported and passed the bill, did not know the meaning of the measure. But if the bill had not been stopped in the Senate it would have gone on the statute books, and de- cision of the Supreme court would have been necessary before it could have been set aside as infringing the liberty of the press.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-H. Scott, a wealthy coffee planter of Guatemala
 who just arrived from there, says the reports that Barillas hasn't made Tor tune during his six yearsin the presi- dency of Guatemala are absurd.

The House.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Greek met Greek in the House yesterday, and for the brief space of five minutes parlia- mentary colloquy was witnessed which in aptness of retort has had no pre- cedent in the present session. On the one side was Speaker Crisp, who stands as the sponsor of the rules of the Fifty second Congress, and on the other was ex-Speaker Reed, who stands as the the Fifty-first Congress. The vexed question of "a quorum" and the construction and legal significance of this term was the subject of the con troversy, and each gentleman is re- garded by his particular partisans as having been the victor in the brief par liamentary fusillade of the day. The entire day had been consumed in the desultory consideration of unimport- ant private bills, and Mir. Kilgore of Texas made a motion that the House take a recess till o'clock last evening.
 On division the vote stood s5 to S4. MT. Enloe demanded tellers, and, they being refused, raised the point that no quorum had voted
 During the colloquy between the Speaker and Mir. Reed both gentlemen appeared to lose their customary equanimity, and their retorts. though couched in polite language, were char acterized by earnestness and some de. gree of warmth.
 During the early part of the session Mir. Mutchler of Pennsylvania, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported the invalid pension appropriation bill and it was referred to the Committee of the Whole.
