BILLS TAKEN UP.
TheGeneraI Deficiency Passed-The
Military Academy Hitch.
IN THE SEN ATE
Mr.. Stewards Substitute for the
Free Coinage Bill.
THE SENATE.

Among the numerous department communi-
cations laid before the Senate this morning by
Mr.. Manderson, President pro tenn, was one
from the Secretary Of the Interior, with a list
OF Indian depreciation claims" aggregating
over s25, 100000
House bill amendatory Of the census act Gas to
general and special schedules of industries) was
reported by Mr.. Hale from the committee on
the eleventh census.
Mr.. Cockrell asked whether 1t was not too late
to 90 into re-examination of statistics. Mr..
Hale explained that the bill simply extended to
individuals and to unincorporated companies
engaged in manufacturing the provisions
applying to Incorporated companies. The bill
was passed.
The Legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill was reported by Mr.. Allison, who
gave notice that he would call it up at the close
OF morning business today.
The House amendments to the Senate bill as
to circuit court of appeals were non-concurred
in and a conference was asked.
COST OF PRODUCTION OF GOLD AND SILVER.
Mr.. Stewart offered a resolution which was
referred to the committee on contingent
expenses, directing the committee on mines and
mining to inquire and repoIoas to the average
cost Of the production of gold and silver bullion
in the United States.
Mr.. Hale offered the following preamble and
resolution and said that he would call it up
tomorrow:
Whereas at no time has SO large proportion
OF the American people been employed at so
high wages and purchasing the necessities and
comforts OF life at SO low prices as in the year
1892; and
Whereas the balance of trade has never been
so large in favor Of the United States as in the
last year; and
Whereas these conditions exist and are largely
due to the republican policy Of 'protection;"
therefore
Resolved, That the committee on finance be
and hereby is directed to inquire into the effect
OF policy Of tariff for revenue only upon
the labor and the industries of the United
States and to report on the same to the Senate.
Mr.. Cockrell suggested that the resolution
should be called up tomorrow for the purpose
of allowing Mr.. Hale to make some remarks on
it and not for action, and the suggestion was
tacitly assented to.
MR.. STEWARDS SUBSTITUTE.
Mr.. Stewart offered as a substitute for his
free silver coinage bill one providing that the
owner Of silver bullion may deposit the same at
any mint of the United States to be coined for
his benefit. The coins are to be legal tender
for all debts and dues, public and private
Foreign silver coin or bullion derived from it
by melting are excluded and the silver act of
1890 is repealed.
The substitute was laid on the table and Or
dered to be printed.
The Senate then proceeded to the considera-
ton of the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill.

but still when the House met at II O'Clock this

Saturday were read and approved.

report on the Military Academy bill.
Mr.. Wheeler stated that the bill as agreed

tions to the next conference committee to in
sist upon an amendment appropriating $4,000

sCBLEY WAS READY.
The Baitimore's Captain Was
Fixed for ChiIian Attack.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-An interest
ing incident IN connection with the
Gillian difficulty has not before been
made public. After the attack on the
sailors of the Baltimore, excitement ran
high in Valparaiso, and as will be re-
membered rumors were thick and fire.
oueut here that the Chilians intended
to attack the Baltimore. The naval
demonstrations on their part were very
threatening. and of such a character
that Capt. Schley was impeiled to put
his ship in order for hot fight if it was
forced upon him. According to the re-
ports, a combined attack was to be made
upon the Baltimore by the Chilian
cruisers Esmeralda and Almirante C0ch-
ran and the torpedo vessels. The idea
of the Chilians was that with their force
they could make complete wreck OF
the Baltimore in very short time.
Capt. Schley did not think SO. At
any rate, he was ready to give them
warm reception. On either side of the
Baltimore, and between the range OF
her guns and the Chilian cruisers, lay
the German man-of-war Lelpslg and the
English man-oT-war Melpomene. Capt.
Schley had determined, in case OF an
attack, to let the torpedo boats go in the
dlu UlICCl ulS dIlCdtlOh W sAAN
work of disabling the cruisers. But he
wanted to have them in the line of his
gun. Getting into his gig. he first
boarded the German man-of-war and
stated his views and wishes to her COM
mander. The German captain promptly
said he would get out of the way at
once and give the Baltimore a fair show.
Capt Sehley then went to the
Melpomene. but her captain did
not show the spirit of accommoda-
tion of the German. He said his
ship was in very good anchorage. and
he did not see why he should move.
After some further conversation he con-
sented to comply with the request of
Capt. Schley, and said that he, TOO,
would get of the way. As it happened,
the Chilians either abandoned their in
tention to attack, or never entertained
it. Otherwise there would doubtless
have occurred one of the most remark
able naval engagements of history.

A SORRY SHOWING.
American Shipping Becoming but
Memory.


NEW YORK. Feb. civilian E. Fer
guson, of the New York produce ex-
change, who is recognized authority
OIL the statistics of the grain export
trade of this port, has Just made his an
nuaI report. The tables compiled by
MIR. Ferguson show the enormous in
crease Of the grain export trade of New
York, and the dwindling away OF the
American ocean marine. The Amerl-
can merchant flag is being driven off the
seas by Great Britain. The complete
ness with which steam has superseded
sail in the ocean carrying trade may be
seen FROM the fact that of 1888 vessels
which carried cargoes of grain from this
port during 1891, only fifteen were sail
ing vessels.
There was shipped from New York.
during 1891 66, ,223, 52S bushels Of AmeTi-
can grain to feed the hungry mouths OF
Europe. Not included in this were 260,-
SIT bushels of buckwheat, which ap-
pears in the statistics for the first time,
buckwheat never having been exported
before in any quantity. OF the 1,23S
shiploads, only % were carried under
the American flag. There are only four
