The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1893-09-28

Tn the House after routine business, the
printing bill was taken up.
Mr.. Morse Mass, E. J, in the latitude allowed
in Committee of the Whole. made some re-
marks as to the present conduct of the PEN
sion Bureau. He charged the Com missioner
apparently with the approval of the Secre-
tary of the Interior) of assuming legislative as
we'll as judicial power in overriding the laws
oil the country. He declared that there was
authority in law for suspending a soldiers
pension in the absence of any evidence of
fraud, neither had he any authority for re-
viewing the acts and decisions of his predecessor
Such cOBduct on the part of the President
would subject him to impeachment.
He charged the Bureau with issuing pensions
10 applicants known TO be dead in order to
swell the lists of pensions granted, and which
cost the Government nothing. He denounced
the present practice of employing secret agents
or spies, who approached pensioners in the gArb
of friends, and elected from them statements
which were made pretext to stop their little
pensions. He said such conduct was dishonOr-
able and unjust.
He had not the slightest doubt that when the
loyal and patriotic people of this country were
heard from in the coming election, they would
rebuke the Administration for its unkind. un-
just and unpatriOtic conduct toward the de-
tenders of the flag and toward the men who
sprang to the defense of the country when the
life of the Nation hung trembling in the bal
auCe and who saved Us Nation among the
Nations of the earth.
Without disposing of the bill, the House at
400 adjourned.

SATURDAY, SEPT. %.

In the Senate, DIR. Stewart introduced reso-
luton declaring the independence of the Legis-
Iative. Executive. and Judicial branches Of the
Republic. He gave notice that he would ad-
dress the Senate upon the resolution Monday.
This is evidently but another OF the schemes
10 delay legislation in the Senate which are
beginning to be introduced by the silver Seu-
ators. They will occupy the time between IL
and 2 o'clock, thus shortening the daily hours
for the discussion of the repeal bill, and so
multiplying as far as possible Senator Voorhees,
plan.
Mr. Turpis lind, d. argued against the
closure resolution, expressing the opinion that
there was no necessity for extreme closure or
obstruction; that middle ground could be
discovered upon which the Senate might pro-
coed safely and without shock to its traditions
He declared that il would be necessary TO re-
construct the whole body of rules and amend
the Constitution, because the Constitution fixed
the right of one-ffth of the Senators present
tn order the yeas and nays on any question
and so long as the minority counted one fifth
10 bill or resolution could be forced TO vote.
Dir. Call Fla, d. also opposed closure, argu-
ing that free deliberation in the Senate was
necessary for the preservation of public lib
erty.
The closure resolution was, after long dis
cussioD. referred to the Committee on Rules.
Mr.. Voorhees, did not succeed in having any
time devoted TO the repeal bill, in spite of his
efforts, for Mr. Jones lark. d. reminded the
senators that there was matter pending in
Executive session which would occupy the re-
mainder of the day. lively discussion fol-
lowed, and Mr.. voorhees, was obliged to give
in.
The Senate, after opening the doors at 4
O'Clock, adjourned until Monday at II a. N.
In the House some routine business was dis
posed of. The bill remitting the penalties on
account of the delay in the construction of the
cruiser Vesuvius was considered, but went over
without action.
The printing bill was again taken up, and con-
siderable discussion passed the time until 800,
when without disposing ofthe bill the House
adjourned.

ADMISSION OF NEW STATES.
Important Question to Come Before Con
gress Soon as the Repeal Bills are Gu
of the Way.

,,ress Soon the Repeal Bills are Out
of the Way.
Several bills have been introduced. or are in
course of preparation on the subject of the adj
mission Of new States into the Union. Gen.
Wheeler, OF Alabama, is Chairman of the COM
tnit'ee which has charge of this matter, and he
announces that he is strongly in favor of adj.
hitting Territories as soon as they have the
necessary population Ho said last week in an
interview:
The population of the four Territories on
JnHo /. 1890, was: Utah. 207, 905 New Mexico,
l53 593; Oklahoma, 61.S34; Arizona. $500.
The population Of all these Territories has in
creased very much since that time. The popu-
lation of many Of the States admitted into the
Union was very much less than these Terri
tories.
We cannot state the accurate population
of any State at the time of its admission, nor
can We state the accurate population of the
Territories now seeking admission, but here is
the population of many, as shown by the CEN
srs taken next preceding their admission:
Minnesota, GOT; Nevada, 6S57; Illinois, 10
2S2; Oregon. 1894; Indiana, 24.520; Ne
hraska, 28,S4l; Arkansas. 30,358; Wisconsin,
309i5; Michigan, 81 $50; Tennessee 81, Sol;
Colorado, 50. S64. ] have given the question of
Statehood for Utah much consideration and
have introduced bill providing for its adj
mission One provision of the bill is that the
Constitution submitted to Congress wiih appIi-
cation for admission must contain provision
prohibiting polygamy. / do not put in that
provision because think it absolutely neces-
sary to prevent polygsmy, but did it to satisfy
those members of Congress who are not nvesti-
eating the matter and whose information Of the
subject does not satisfy them that polygamy
has virtually ceased to exist.

The only two speeches upon the resolution
were made by the Colorado Senstors-Wol cott
and Teller.
Mr. Wolcott said that he would vote against
it, but that he would make no prolonged oppo-
sition TO it, and that he thought it could be
very soon brought TO a vote. As to the repeal
bill itself if his associates should deem il best
to contest that measure inch by inch he would
eheerfully and cordially join them, and any
attempt 10 impose cruel aud unusual conditiOn
would be resisted by every obstruction which
the rules permitted.
Mr. Teller was not so literally inclined to-
ward the closure rule as his colleague, but
asserted. ON the contrary. that he would resist
by every method obstructive and otherwise,
the adoption of a rule which would limit
debate.
The repeal bill was taken up at o'clock,
and speeches against it made by Mr..
George Miss. d.; Mr.. Hansbrough IN. d.,
r.. and Mr. Stewart New. r..
An agreement was proposed by Mr.. voorhees,,
and assented to unanimously that from Mon
day until further orders the daily sessions
shall be from ii a. m. to p. IN.
The Senate adjourned at G;l0.

MONDAY. SEPT. 25.

In the Senate, the resolution offered by Mr.
Stewart as to the coordinate departments OF
the Government was laid before the Senate.
Mr.. Stewart addressed the Senate on the reso-
luton. His speech was attack on the Presi-
dent for alleged unfaithfulness, non enforce
ment of laws, and imputations against the
Senate and the House.
Mr.. Cameron took the floor in opposition TO
the repeal bill, relieving Mr.. Stewart, who had
not finished. After Mr.. Cameron concluded
Mr. Stewart again occupied the valuable time
of the Senate.
After brief Executive session the Senate
adjourned at 5:45.

not be accomplished. II is true that there is
law existing which authorizes 81 combination
of Nevada and Utah. which makes that case
different from Rhode Island and Connecticut.
+" The inception of any such measure would,
] think. create bad feeling, which ought at this
time to be avoided. 1t is difficult to say, more
over. what the political result would be of
combination of this character. l think that
any State admitted by the Democratic party
while it is in power would probably elect
Democratic officers and Democratic Congress
men,"

In the House, not more than a hundred NOM

journal having been read, Mr.. Reed suggested
that the document was not correct, so the ap.
prevail of the latter was deferred.
Mr. Catchings presented the report of the
Committee on Rules, providing for taking up
the electoral laws repeal bill on Sept. 26, and a
final vote on Oct. 20 The yeas and nays were

In the House, Immediately after the approval
of the journal, the fight over the Federal cleo

Mr.. Burrows moved to dispense with the call
of committees for reports Pending this, Mr..
from the Committee on Rules, but before it was
read Mr.. Burrows raised the point that the
resolution was not in order.
The Speaker overrnled the point of order,
and then the House was thrown into great con-
fusion.
Mr.. Reed made one of his Characteristic
witty speeches, in which he denounced the
Speakers decision. The Speaker and Mr.. Reed
had some bitter passages.
Mr.. Burrows appealed from the decision, and
Mr.. Fitch moved TO lay it Oh the table. This
was agreed to. The Speaker recognized Mr.
Catchings to call up his report, when Mr. Hep

Abstract of the More Important
Proceedings of Both Houses.
TUESDAY. SEPT. 70.

In the Senate. there was considerably more
intensity OF feeling displayed by the Senators
during the proceedings than at any other time
since the beginning of the siye; debate.
A few minutes after noon Senator voorhees,
moved the consideration of the silver bill and
then launched out in an impassioned speech in
dicating the reasons why he could not move
for a closure, and giving notice that to- morrow
ne would move for longer sessions. In con-
clusion Mr.. Voorhees, appealed for the third
time to the silver managers to know if there
was a time when vote could be taken.
Mr.. Dubois idaho, r. objected in bitter
speech, defying Mr.. Voorhees, to force the Issue.
He turned bis attention to those silver Sem
ators who favor a repeal of the silver-pur
chase law, and attacked Senators Allison
Hoar. Lodge and Sherman being too weak
TO frame a financial measure of their own,
and weak enough to follow the lead of Mr.. NOor-
hees, the acknow lodged representative of the
Administration.
A battle OF words ensued. After this queted.
Senator Mills delivered long and somewhat
impassioned speech favoring unconditional re-
peal.
Senator Stewart then took the floor. but
without finishing gave way to motion for
Executive session, and the Senate adjourned
at 5:25.
In the House, although 1875 Democratic Rep
resentatives were reported in the city this
morning, only 173 presented themselves in
the chamber, aud SO the majority could do
nothing with the bill to repeal the Federal
election laws.
Had the Democrats staid in the cham Der,
and stood together, they would have been
able to proceed with business in spite of the
Republicans for there were 16l hats in the
cloakroom three more than quorum.
The House. at 245, adjourned.

changing the tariff and repeating the Federal
election laws. He argued that if Senatorial
courtesy was to permit unlimited debate Sena-
torial courtesy must reciprocally allow votes to
be taken.
Some amendments were offered and then the
resolution went over until tomorrow.
The repeal bill was then taken up. Mr..
White made an argument against it, speaking
more than four hours.
The Senate at 7:30 adjourned.

WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 20.

In the Senate, Mr.. George addressed the
House against repeal. As he continued, the
absence of Senators became too evident, and it
required two roll calls to get sufficient num-
Der to constitute quorum. which soon melted
away again. This made no difference to Dir.
George, who spoke on, pausing later for au-
other roll call, and he then gave way without
finishing to Mr. Gray. (Del., d. who took up
