Encouragement in the agricultural de-

Toilette had been placed in charge. He
said he was perfectly willing to trust the
governor and that that latter had . record

expression Of his devotion to public duty,
no matter about the consequences, and
with few remarks in his peculiar phiio-
sophical vein about the degeneracy Of the
times.
Chairman winchell FIRST replied. He
stated that the evidence would show that

fefred in his criticism had been fully An

Baker said that while the other eight
members of the committee might not

was entitled to At least a. much weight.
He contended that If there had been ex-
travsgance the law was to blame, and not

OLYMPIA. March 1--ISpecial.l mo de-
cision was reached today relative to the
Anderson freight rate bill, but railway
fence bill, probably the senate bill intro
duced by Helm, will be reported favorably
tomorrow. The committee gave most at

collection Of hospital dues from employees.
1t 10 expected that tho Ncergaard passenger
rate bill will be reported with an amend
ment increasing the rate from to cents

bers interested in securing railway legisla-
ton relative to the fate Of the bills in the
hands Of the senate committee IS growing,
and request for action on them is likely
to be made by the house any day.

WASHINGTON CITY, March LIN the
house today Hatch moved to suspend the
rules and concur in the senate amend
ments to the anti-option bill. The oppo-
nents of the bill then began to filibuster
against the motion and business came to q
standstill. On demand for a second to
Hatch's motion the opponents of the
measure as a rule declined to vote and it
was more than half an hour before Hatch
was able to muster q quorum. Then fol-
lowed a debate. Hatch closed the debate
and his motion to suspend the rules was
seconded by vote OF l63 to Z. A vote was
then taken on suspending the rules to pass
the bill, but it was defeated; yeas LIZ, nays

by Hiscock. The object was to have the
report taken up on q motion which would
dispiace the Hudson river bridge bill, but
the report was read. and Allison asked tho
unanimous consent Of the senate to pro-
coed with its consideration. This gave
Hiscock another opportunity to object and
he availed himself of it This forced
Allison to move that the report be now
considered. The motion was agreed to.
and this had the effect to deprive the
bridge bill Of its right-of-way. Allison
made an explanation Of the report, and
stated that in relation to the Sherman
bond amendment he would. in order to
test the sense of the senate upon it, move
to recede from ii. Sherman explained and
advocated the amendment. He digressed
in order 70 pay q compliment to Carlisle,
saying he knew of no man in the United
States better fitted to hold the Office of Sec
rotary Of the treasury. Sherman's speech
was replied to by Stewart, Wolcott, Teller
and German. A vote was taken and the
senate, without division. receded from the
Sherman amendment. The conference re-
port was agreed to. and q further confer
ence ordered on several amendments which
were not finally disposed of.
The business of the senate was then sus-
pended, and after paying a fitting tribute
to the memory Of the late Senator Gibson,
Of Louisiana. the senate adjourned.
The president sent to the senate today
the nominations of Truxton Beale, of Cali
fornia, as minister to Roumania, Servia

jected the nomination of w. w. Findlay

ported to the senate this morning added

cordance with the full estimate of the
department.
The Indian appropriation bill was re-
ported to the senate today. It includes
S., 1876. 1856 for the purchase of the Cherokee
outlet, making the grand total of the bill
SIC. 431, 400. Among the items added to

This is equivalent to defeat of the bill,
a. 1t cannot be reached on the calendar.
The senate amendments to the agricultural

Cured in and the bill was sent to con-
ference. The conference report on the

Few From the Far West Have Yet
Reached WAshington City.

WAsHINGToN CITY. March 1.-ISpecial.l
While the capitol city is crowded with
visitors to witness the inauguration on
Saturday. there has been no great number
of arrivals from the far West. The hotel
registers, up to the present time, show
very few arrivals from Washington state.
1t is understood, however. that a great
many people from that state have secured
quarters and will be here between now
and Saturday. Senator Squire expects
several guests from his sta,e, but on the
whole. it is probable that not many Demo-
cratic enthusiasts from Washington will
travel across the continent and back in
order to see Mr.. Cleveland indicted into
office.

cratic club and a large number of other

NORTON HONOks STEVENSON.
Regardless Of Precedent He Tenders .
Reception to His Successor.


WASHINGTON CRY, March IA recep-
ton rendered tonight by Vice President
and Mrs. Morton to Vice President-elect
and Mrs. Stevenson at their residence
marked another deviation by Morton from
the traditions surrounding his position.
It is an unprecedented thing for the out
going vice president to bestow any recog-
milton, official or social, upon his sue
cessor, but when cards were issued giving
notice of the vice presidents intention to
thus honor his successor, it was felt to be
gracious and proper courtesy. Morton
served in the house with Stevenson, and
ever since there has existed between them
. sincere mutual esteem.
In anticipation of the event Morton's
elegant mansion was decorated with
palms, ferns. foliage, plants and cut fow-
ers. Mr.. and Mrs. Morton received the
guests in the doorway separating the par
lor from the corridor, and at their side
stood Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson, to whom
the passing throng were introduced in
turn bv the host. It was a distinguished
and representative gathering that greeted
the new official and his wife. The men,
bers of the senate were present almost
en- masse, members Of the cabinet and as
sistant secretaries of departments, heads
of bureaus, the New York and Illinois
delegations in the house of representa-
tives, justices of the supreme court
of the United States and of the
District of Columbia and the court of
claims, the diplomatic corps in all the
brilliancy and insignia of their several
orders and honors, heads Of the army
and navy and good sprinkling Of sub
ordinate officers. In addition to these
official guests, Pice President and Mrs.
Morton presented to Mr.. and Mrs. Steven
son q large number of their personal
friends.
During the evening admirable musical
selections were rendered by the famous
Marine band under its new leader. Prof
Fanciulii. and an elegant collation. was
served in the dining room. Among the
guests were the members of Stevenson 8
party who accompanied him from Bloom
ington. including his son and daughters.

ANOTHER BOY DROWNED.

Lewis Schlumpr, ii l0-year- old boy, who
lived with his parents in the little tin
house at the west end of the Thirteenth
street bridge, was drowned in the Little
river last evening about o'clock. The
accident occurred while the 10y was BATH
ing for the first time. No one accompa-
MED him, and therefore no one saw it
occur The fact is the boy never went
swimming before, but he saw other boys
swim, and the indications are that he
decided to go alone to the swimming pool
yesterday and try the experiment. tie
was found in eight feet of water. HIS
parents are Bohemians and are unable to
speak English to any satisfactory extent; he
was the eldest of six children and was
quite handy to his father who is poor
man.
The case is sad one and was especially
so last night when the EAGLE reporter
called. The body was lying on the floor,
the poor mother was heartbrokeu, the
father was in tears, but in contrast, the
two youngest children were playing
around the body oblivious Of the fact that
the sleep that their brother was in is the
sleep that knows no waking. The home
is very humble, though neat one, but
the same paternal instincts were mari
tested there that are manifested ID the
afflicted palaces of the rich.
