watertown ArseSaI Employees Not Paid
For Several Months.
WATERTowN, Mass, March f.--The EN-.
ployes of the Watertown Arsenal, some
200 in number, are much exercised over
the fact that they have received no wages
since the first OF January, when they
were paid their December wages. The
pay ranges from s1.60 to 90 per day, and
over 5000 is required to pay off each
month.
Many of the employees are in sore need
of their wages, some being unable even TO
pay car fares to and from their work
morning and night. They are loud in
their complaints and especially in the
blacksmith shop is the grumbling heardS
1t is said that some families lack many
OF the necessities Of life. They can raise
nothing on theamount due as il is against
the law 10 trustee the wages OF an en-
ploye OF Uncle Sam.
The January account and statement OF
tha arsenal we're llaada-lp- -usual-apd-
forwarded 20 Washington, and the money
was shipped TO Boston and payment or
dered TO Major Varney, at that time com
mander at the arsenal. Before the papers
arrived, Major Varney was transferred
and Major Reilley placed in command.
The sub treasury in Boston refused to
pay the amount called for without Major
Varney's signature and the papers have
been sent TO Major Varney. Not until
their return can the employees receive
their pay.

ceived brief from the Propaganda,

WASHINGTON, March 4.--The lines are
beginning 10 tighten as the date ap-
proaches for the vote on the resolution
fixing time for the consideration of the
Bland bill The anti-silver Democrats,
headed by Messrs. Andrew, O'Neil and
Williams of Massachusetts, and Dewits
Warner and Cochran OF New York, are
urging the Republicans to agree TO assist
them in their fight.
Thus far their efforts have not been sue
cessful. The Republicans have taken no
party action in the matter. A considera-
bic number OF Republicans are disposed
10 vote for consideration, on the ground
that the bill involves an important ques-
tion and one on which the House should
be permitted 10 express itself.
Abner Taylor OF Illinois and G. w.
Stone of Pennsylvania, of the Republi-
can minority of the committee on coin
age, Mr.. Walker, OF Massachusetts, OF
last years committee on coinage, are
among those Republicans who, while OPP
posed TO free coinage, are inclined TO
favor consideration Of the bill.
Some of those Republicans, however.
wish some assurance that IL is really pro-
posed TO bring the silver bill to a vote.
They express feeling that II is merely
proposed 10 permit members to make
speeches and not TO act.
The anti-silver men have found that
some Democrats, whom they had counted
on as favorable 90 postponement, were
weakening and did not wish to be re-
corded as casting a vote which might be
construed as hostile to silver.

A CHANGE IN POSTAL LAWS.
Post Office Committee WOuld Put Third

Post Office Committee wouId Put Third
and Fourth Glass Mail Together.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Senator Saw
yer, from the committee on post Offices
and post roads has reported to the
Senate bill, in the nature of a substitute
providing "that on and after the first day
OF July, 1892, all articles of mail matter of
the third and fourth classes shall be COM
pretended in one class, to be known as
third class mail matter, and postage
on the same shall be chargeable at the
rate Of one cent for each two ounces or
fraction thereof, 10 be prepaid with post
age stamps affixed thereto; provided that
upon the consolidation of the two classes
OF mail matter, all the conditions as TO
wrappers, permissible printing, etc, now
applicable by law TO fourth-class matter,
shall be held TO apply to third class mat
ter, i'm addition to the privileges now con-
ferreA- by law #peH-fi4+t+ef- OF -tAe4aSt
mentioned Glass;.
In an accompanying report the COM
mittee says that there has long been
necessity for change in the rate regulat-
ing fourth class matter, or merchandise,
paying one cent per ounce. While rates
on printed matter have been reduced from
time TO time, the rate for merchandise has
not been changed.
II is believed that consolidation OF the
third and fourth class rates will not only
benefit the people, but will also greatly
increase the postal revenues and also sim
plify the work of postmasters by remov-
ing the doubt which now exists as to the
classification of matter. The change has
been recommended by the postmaster

Protecting Docked Horses.
The House bill for tho protection OF
horses mutilated by docking aroused
much opposition in the Senate. Messrs.
Fernald, Thayer, Reade, Simpkins and
Meade opposed the bill. Mr.. Thayer sug-
gested that an amendment be made so
that horses SO docked should be annoint-
ed with asafptida so as to keep away the

tition that liquor licenses be not granted
in wards of cities that vote no. The rule
was suspended however, to admit the pc
tition OF the Hoosac Tunnel and Whining

House were refused admission.
Business in the House.
The various water bills pending were
recommitted so as to be amended TO pre-
vent the franchises thereof from passing
permanently from the hands OF the peo-
pie.
The House tabled the adverse report on
compelling railroads to sell 500 mile tickets
at mileage rates. Mr.. Fiske OF Andover
offers a substitute bill.
On the proposed new rule to exclude
persons from the reading room, clerks
room and adjacent passages. Mr.. Charles

He moved a further amendment that
nothing shall be received at the post
office except legislative documents, notes
and letters addressed TO the members or

lowed with free criticism OF the rule, but
the amendment was rejected, 56 to So.

sentatiyes at Yesterdays session.
WASHINGTON, March Am the House
Mr.. Watson OF Georgia rising TO 4 ques-
tion OF personal privilege, sent to the
clerks desk and had read a special dis
patch TO the Atlanta Constitution from
Washington, criticising his vote upon the
Craig Stewart contested election case, in
timating that in voting for Stewart he
was playing into the hands of the Repub-
Leans, in order that he might secure fl
nancial aid from them in his next cam
paign for Congress.
II, said Mr.. Watson, one of the reading
clerks should denounce as corrupt one OF
the members OF the House, the House
would be startled and a reply would be
made.
But when the clerk 10 the Speaker OF
the House denounced through the public
prints a gentleman whom he knew TO be
a political opponent OF the Speaker, the
justification for reply was still more com
plete. The statement in the newspaper
is so far as 10 pretended TO state the facts,
was false. The Speaker knew IL 90 be
false, the gentleman who wrote IL knew
20 be false, and every member of the
House knew il 90 be false. Ever since he
had been here, the clerk TO the Speaker
had thought it his duty to disparage him,
30 ridicule him, and TO msrepresent him.
The climax has now been reached and pa
tience was no longer virtue. He de-
nounced the insinuation cowardly as IL
was, as base and infamous falsehood.
The matter was then dropped and the
House went into Committee of the Whole
on the District -ef Columbia-AppEopria
tion bill, which was afterwards reported
20 the House.
The bill goes on the calendar Of unfin-
ished business.
In the Senate the consideration of the
Idaho contested election case was resum-
ed. After several attempts to get in sub
stitute resolutions the Senate decided in
favor of Mr.. Dubois.
The pure food bill was then taken up
and on motion OF Mr.. Haddock, several
amendments, mostly verbal, were agreed
TO. One OF them, however, was 10 strike
out the eleventh section, appropriating
100000 TO carry the law into effect.
