SENATOR PLUmn,s WILL.

1 noe
Sole Executors.
EMPoRIA, Kan, Jan. 15.-The will of the
late Senator Plumb was entered for probate
yesterday and shows some queer features.
1t does not show definitely the value of the
estate, but while it has been placed as high
| 1000, 900 by some and 81 ,000, 900 BY
others 1t will probably amount to about
| $500, 600.
The senator had property in New York,
| Florida, Alabama, Virginia, Ohio, Missouri,
| Kansas, Colorado and Montana Mrs.
| Plumb and her son, both invalids, were
made sole executors of the will, and while
Mrs. Plumb is in very bad health she will
| attend to all the business of the estate.
PROCEEDINGS I'm CONGRESS.
Mr.. Holman wfthdrays His Motion
to Reconsider, and the House Passes
One of His Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Mr.. Holman has
withdrawn his motion to reconsider the
vote by which the previous question was
ordered ON his snti-subsidy resolution.
The house has passed the second of Mr..
Holman's resolutions referring to the eco
nomical expenditures by q vote of yeas
1874, nays 90.
The following bills were introduced and
referred in the house to-day:
By Mr.. Newberry of Illinois-To test
the method of spelling in schools and ap-
propriating 500, 900 to establish q spelling
school at the worlds fair.
By Mr.. Lane of Misunderstanding nails,
salt, lumber, cotton, ties, binding Irvine
and agricultural implements on the free
list.
By Mr.Snodgrass of Tennessee-To place
salt on the free list.
By Mr.. Smith of Arizona-For the ad-
mission of Arizona as a state.
The house then resumed the considers
ton of the motion to reconsider the vote
by which the previous question was order
ed on the subsidy and economy resolution
offered by Mr.. Holman.
Mr.. Holman withdrew the motion. He
had, he said, come to the conclusion that
the secoud resolution was broad enough to
cover and all proper and legal sppropria-
tons. 1t would include all such legisla-
ton as private pension bills and the like.
Mr.. Henderson of Iowa inquired
whethsr separate vote could be had on
each resolution, and on receiving an af-
firmatiye reply demanded division of the
question. This demand, after consulta-
ton with Mr.. Dipgley of Maine, he with
drew, but it was Immediately repeated by
Mr.. Tracy of New York.
So the question was taken on the first
resolution, which reads as follows:
Resolved, That in thu Judgment Of this house
the granting Of subsidies and bounties by con-
gress, In money public lands bonds or by in
dorsement, or by pledge Of the public credit, to
promote special private industries or enterprises
power of congress to make such grants, is unjust
and impolitic, and in manifest conflict
with the spirit of our republican institu-
tions, IL directly tends to create and
foster the wealth of favored classes
a. the expense of the whole people who bear the
burdens Of government, and manifestly furnishes
undue facilities for the enlargement Of great
private estates-a policy which government of
the people cannot justly or safely encourage by
any form of fayoritism in legislation Il was
adopted, yeas ~, nays Il.
The question was then taken on the sec
ond resolution, which is as follows:
Resolved, That in view of the present condi-
ton Of the treasury, and because efficient and
honest government can only be assured by the
frugal expenditure of the public money, while
unnecessary, and lavish expenditures, under any
and all conditions leads inevitably to venal and
corrupt methods In public affairs, no money
onght to be appropriated by congress from the
public treasury except such as Is manifestly
necessary to carry on the several departments
frugally, efficiently and honestly administered.
The resolution was agreed to, yeas, 1874
nays. 90
