In the Senate.

WASHINGTON CITY, June 13.-In the sen.
ate the pension appropriations bill was re-
ported back with amendments and placed
on the calendar 1t carries a total appro-
prIation of $146, 737. $50, an increase of $l1,-
921, 2S4 over the house bill, and $11, 500 565
more than last year. The principal item
of increase is $1l ,9O7, ,634 for army and navy
pensions.
PETER then spoke on the bill introduced
by him on May 26 to increase the currency;
to provide for its circulation; to reduce
rates of interest and establish loan
agencies at the capital of every state and
territory and other convenient places; to
loan money to people secured by real
estate in sums of not less than $I00, nor
more than 81, 800. to one person or family.
but there is no provision as to the
rate of interest; to provide funds.
treasury notes are to be issued at the
rate of $l.5o for every dollars worth
of gold or silver coin and bullion
belonging to the United States: no corpo-
ration or firm is hereafter to receive more
than 5 per cent. interest on short time,
nor more than 4 per cent. for a year or
longer. Provision is made for loans on
agricultural products in warehouses at
the rate of per cent. Much OF Peffer's
speech was in denunciatlon of usury,
which he said was breaking down the re-
public. The republic would go down un-
less the people were saved. There was no
way of saving them except by destroying
usury. He believed that congress had
full authority under the constitution to
lend money to the people, as much as to
provide for carrying mails or packages,
or TO determine the rates which railroads
may charge for carrying freight or passen-
gers. At the close of his speech the bill
went over without action.
Mcpherson gave notice of his intention
to address the Senate Wednesday on free

was given to reading anything SO mis-

lettering the volume 'Noltaire," which
everybody would have understood, he
had them inscribed ''Arouet's Reports"

How the Map of Picking Was Made.

How a military map Of Picking was Sc
cretlv made is told by General Sir Robert
Biddulph. During the China war Of
1860, in which Sir Robert was engaged,
our army was greatly embarrassed by
the absence of any map Of the city. But
it happened thu. the Russian legation
had, only a few months before, con-
trived to make a map in spite OF the
Jealous watchfulness Of the Chinese.
They had sent an officer, in a small
covered cart, such as they use to carry
their women about, completely covered
in. An Indicator was attached to the
wheel. He drove for a certain distance
| TO a certain crossroad, for example, ana
"took a shot" with his instrument; then
down the next road, and in that way
made a complete plan of Picking, with all
its streets and roads, both IN the Tartar
city and in the Chinese city. Genera
Ignatieff, who produced the map, offered
| its use to the English. There were nc
photographers then attached TO tue
army: but an Italian photographer Wht
had followed the army for his own pr
vate purposes, being set to work. pro
