The Senate Disposes of Seven Para
graphs of the Metal Schedule.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Senate
disposed of seven paragraphs of the metal
schedule to-day, after eight hours of de-
date. The debate was marked by quite a
number of interesting clashes between
Republicans and Democrats.
The sensational feature of the day was
caused by the unexpected presentation
by Jones of an amendment substituting
the Mckinley bill classification and spe-
cific rates on round iron in coils, blooms
and charcoal iron, somewhat higher than
those already proposed. This amend
ment was surprise to some Senators on
both sides. although evidently antici-
pated by Quay and few of his col
leagues.
Hale tried to use it a test for taunting
the Democrats and Teller read him a
very plain lecture on the duty of the Re-
publicans to accept such increase as the
Democrats We're willing to grant without
continually chiding their adversaries
with inconsistency. When the vote was
taken six Democrats and TWO Populists
refused to support the Jones substitute,
viz: Allen, Berry, Blackburn, Jarvis,
Kyle, Mills, Pascoe and PETER.
The rates fixed to-day were as follows:
Iron ore, 40 cents per ton; pig iron, scrap
iron, etc., 81 per ton; round iron, in coils,
s of cent per pound; slabs, blooms, less
finished than bars, tive-eighths of cent
per pound; charcoal blooms, Sl2 per ton;
beams, girders and other structural iron
or steel, IS of a cent per pound boiler
plate. from .5 to % per cent. ad valorem
forgings of iron or steel cotton tiesl, 80
per cent. ad valorem.
The Senate went into executive session.
and shortly afterward adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The question
of civil service reform was given full
sway in the House to-day, the occasion
being the amendment to strike out the
paragraph in the legislative appropria-
ton bill providing for the Civil Service
Commission. 1t gave opportunity for a
few stirring aud amusing speeches. The
amendment was adopted by vote of 100
to II, amid great Democratic applause
and Republican cries of ''spoils."
No other amendments of any import
ance were made to The bill, the only ones
adopted being to correct the texts of few
amendments to which amendments were
made yesterday. Several Democrats op-
posed the amendment virtually abolish
ing the commission, but 1t was adopted
by nearly strict party vote.
Among the Democrats who voted with
the Republicans in favor of the civil serv-
Ice reform were: Wilson, Tracy, Hen
dirk, Dockery, Warner, Springer, Grain,
Sayres, Martin, Kilgore, Livingstone, De
Forest and Everett.
The vote on division was 96 to 81.
There were cries of mo quorum" and
demands for tellers were made, the vote
by tellers being 100 to IL.

WASHINGTON, May &c. w. Buttz.
who was very anxious to be put before
the Senate Bribery Investigation Com
mittee, was not on hand when the COM
mlttee met to-day. Instead, he left his
attorney TO explain that he was otherwise
engaged, and asked to be excused from
attendance for the present. On being
questioned by the committee as to MIR.
Buttz' reason for his conduct, Attorney
McGowan stated that his client was en-
gagged in making search for witness
who could corroborate his statements
and throw light upon the question at
issue.
The explanation was far from satis-
factory, and Mr.. MCGOWAN was informed
that Buttz was the man wanted, and not
substitute Accordingly. they called
the rgeant-at-Arms to their assistance,
and directed that subpoena be issued for
ButtZ.
While waiting, the committee called in
several Senators, including Voorhees,.
Harris and Coke, to whom Senators Hun
ton and Kyle had stated that they had
given Information of the approaches made
to themselves soon after ButtZ made his
propositions to them. They confirmed
the statements of Hunton and Kyle.
When asked if they knew of other at
tempts to bribe Senators, Voorhees,, Har
ris and Coke said they did not.
The Sergeant-at-Arms reported to the
committee at O'Clock that he had failed
to find Buttz. He, however, had ascer-
tanned that Buttz had left the city on an
early morning train, with the purpose
and expectation of returning by z o'clock,
at which hour he said he would again APP
pear before the committee.
Major BGttz did not meet the expecta
ton of the committee by putting in an
appearance during the afternoon, and the
opinion was expressed that he would not
be at the Capitol before tomorrow morn
ing. None OF the members of the COM
mittee think there is probability of his
having left the city to evade the investi-
cation.

county, was to wed Miss Alpha Pilbean
at this place. A short time before the
hour set for the ceremony the groom was

effects OF laudanum, it is feared he has
gone to secluded spot to take his life.
Parties were out last night and to-day

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The House
Committee on judiciary to-day indorsed
the report of the Boatner subcommittee
which Investigated the matter of the in
junction by Judge jenkins. A resolu-
ton will forthwith be submitted saying
that the House disapproves of the action
OF Judge Jenkins, and holding that he
exceeded his power in enjoining the rail-
road men from striking.
The two bills TO be reported will be
drawn to carry into effect the sub-com-
tees recommendation regarding compul-
sorry labor, which is as follows:
Your com mittee recommends that all
possible doubt as TO the powers of Judges
of courts of the United States to enforce
specific performance of labor contracts by
legal process, or to compel person to
render involuntary service under any
pretext. be set at rest by prohibitory
statute.v

with this recommendation The power
to punish for contempt is limited by the
laws OF most of the States. and we see no
reason why like limitation should not
be placed on the powers OF Federal
Judges"

The record-union., 1894-05-23

Representative Bailey of Texas, a men,
ber of the Judiciary Committee, thinks
the report of the Boatner subcommittee
does not recommend sufficiently effective
action. He thinks Judge Jenkins should
be impeached. He reserved the right to
propose impeachment proceedings if he
should conclude that they were the only
effective form of procedure in the case.
Mr.. Bailey said that while he realized
fully that the matter OF impeachment was
a most delicate one, and that such a step
was only to be taken on exceptional cir
cumstances, yet he thought that in case
like that of Judge Jenkins the radical
method of rebuke should be taken to
emphasize the extreme nature of the
offense.

between King Leopold and the British
Minister to Belgium. The King aban-
dons to England small strip of terri-
tory in the region of the Upper Congo,
thus giving England access northward to
the Nile. In exchange England grants
the King until the end of his reign the
left bank Of the Nile up to the seventeenth
degree. This is considered the best
African treaty concluded for many years,
and is a master stroke of diplomacy on
the part of the King, as it shuts out
France from the new basin, and places
the Congo Free State under the obligation
OF lighting the Soudan Dervishes.
