Wv
to-day promptly passed the Indian
appropriation bill as amended.
Dingley, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, called up the bill
reported yesterday authorizing the
President to conclude negotiations
with Russia, England or Japan, or
either, for a commission to inquire
into the habits of the Alaskan fur
seals and the best methods of preserv-
ing the seals, pending which the
President was authorized by bill to
conclude n1odus UiUendi, to termin-
ate January 1. 1893, for the protection
of seals. and, failing to establish it be
fore the opening of the present seas
on, the Secretary of the Treasury was
authorized to kill all the seals while
on their feeding ground in the Priby
off Islands. The bill passed without
debate.
The House has taken up the Van
Horn Tarsney election contest from

majority report favored the contest
ant, Republican. The minority re-
port of the Democrats and one Repub-
lican favored the recommittal of the
case, the reopening of the testimony,
the segregation Of the legal from the
illegal votes and recount. 1t is Lot
probable that vote will be reached
to-day.
SENATE.
Morrill,, chairman of the Finance
Committee moved in the Senate to-
day that the tariff bill be taken up.
He spoke briefly, urging that the
needs Of the Treasury and business
demand action. On roll call Nor
rill's motion was defeated--yeas %,
nays 33.
After the vote had been announced
on the defeat of Morrill's motion, Il
sensational incident occurred in which
Morrill, and Sherman took part. Nor
rill said the tariff bill was dead, and,
he added, it was now shown there was
not Republican majority in the
Senate.
Teller replied with intense feeling.
He declared he and his silver Repub-
ican associates could not be read out
of the Republican party.
Sherman followed with severe ar
raignment of the inaction of Congress
saying it was q crime against the
country and against civilization. He
declared he would continue to urge
action on the tariff bill.
Frye Of Maine took the floor to de-
clare the tariff bill was as dead as
Julius Caesar. The business interests
demanded the statement be made EN-
phatically that the bill was dead. He
hoped it would never be heard from
again, and let the responsibility rest
where it belonged.
Senators Plat and Aldrich in an.
swer to a direct question, announc.
ed emphatically that the Republicans
would not accept the tariff bill with a
free silver attachment.
Following is the vote on Nor
rill's motion to take up the tariff
bill.

SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT WAGES.

Colonel Carroll d. Wright, United States
Commissioner Of Labor, recently delivered a
lecture in New York in which reference was
made to the rate of increase in wages. His
figures cover a period of fifty years, the most
important beyond question in the history of
modern times and show an increase from an
average of S247. .3s in 1850 to S2ss.94 in 1860,
to S3O2 Os in 1870 to S346.0l in 1880, and to
S449 SO IN 1890.
Colonel Wright, however, points out that
before the real significance of such averages
can be comprehended the fiuctuating value of
money must be considered He says that the
real question of wages or of the amount of
the necessaries and comforts of life is what
days labor will buy at any given time.
Ii is also said that "the figures of averages
are remarkable, but they do not adequately
represent the increased rewards Or productive
work. As result of scientific discoveries
and mechanical inventions, which have
developed to a greater extent since 1910 than
IN any previous period, a days work now
will buy more Of the comforts of life than
oouid be had for ten days wages in the
Seventeenth century" Unfortunately this
docs not apply to such actual necessaries as
food fuel and rent, but it certainly does
apply to an indefnable number of comforts
to newspapers, magazines, books pictures
and nearly everything pertaining to the
paper line, to most articles OF steel, tC
machine-turned articles from wood and
hundreds of other things. The difference
between life in this century (and especially
the latter half of machinery and in an!
century of hand work is so great that it j
almost incredible.

CLEVELAND AND CUBA.
The Presidents Attitude Well Known to
the Spanish Autho rities.


LONDON, April 2O.-The Standards cor
respondent at Madrid says: Despite the
persistent official denials both from Wash
ington and Madrid, it is now an open Sc
cret that both governments have freely
discussed their attitude towards each other
in the Cuban affair. Spain is aware that
President Cleveland wishes to be concil-
iatory but that he cannot answer for the
control of American opinion if the strug-
gle in Cuba be prolonged to the injury OF
American commerce.
Spain, on the other hand, has informed
President Cleveland that she is willing to
conciliate the smypathies of sensible
Americans, but that she cannot entertain
a proposal for the independence of Cuba,
or even for suspension of hostilities to
negotiate with the rebels, as public opin-
ion would never tolerate such humilia-
ton,
Spain has been silently preparing to
execute Cuban home rule bill directly the
colonial authorities regarded it advisable
to do So No date has yet been fixed for
this, however.
