A beautiful basket of flowers stood OF
one of the outer desks of the Chamber
this morning,i in compliment to the latest
accession to the ranks of the Senate,
Mr.. Blanchard, who has been appointed

The Vice President, being still absent,
the Senate was presided over to-day by
Mr.. Harris, its official President pro-
tenn.
After some routine morning business,
Mr.. BIanchard's credentials were pre-
scented by his colleague, Mr.. Gallery,
and read, and then, Mr.. Blanchard, es-
courted by his colleague, went to the
Vice Presidents chair and took the
oath of office, as administered to him
by the presiding officer.
Attention was called to the peculiar
language of the commission in which
Mr.. Blanchard is named as a repre-
Sentatice in the Senate and to perform
certain duties, sc.
A substitute for the tariffbillwas intro
duced by Mr.. PETER, and he gave no.
tice that he would seek an early oppor-
tunity of addressing the Senate on the
subject. An amendment to the tariff
bill was also given notice ofby Mr.. Gal
linger to the effect that the bill should
be operative, so far AS importations
from Canada were concerned, only
upon proclamation by the President;
and that a commission should be ap-
pointed looking to freedom of CONNER
| cial intercourse with Canada.
The resolution offered last Friday by
Mr.. PETER for the investigation Of news
paper statements as to some Senators
having been engaged in stock-jobbing
speculations in sugar certificates and
having made large profits therefrom,
was laid before the Senote, but on Mr..
Germans motion was laid on the table
by a vote of SO to 81.
The seigniorage bill was then taken
up and Mr.. Villas continued his speech
against it.

day, on motion of Mr.. Heard, chairman
of the committee on affairs of the Dis
trict of Columbia, called up the bill to
authorize the Metropolitan street rail-
road company to change its motive
power to underground trolley.
Mr.. Richardson, in explaining the
matter, said that the company had ex-
pended s3S4,713 in efforts to use the
storage battery system. 1t was q fail
ure and the only thing left was to use
the underground trolley. They want
one year to make this experiment, and
the committee thought they should
have the opportunity.
