CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
ROUTINE WORK OF THE FIFTY
FOURTH SESSION.
Substance of the Bills and Resolutions
introduced In the Senate and House
Condensed Record of the Doings of
the National Lawmakers-Senate.


Washington, April lS.-.The resolu.
tlon for an investigation of the recent
bond issues was taken up in the senate
today and Hill made sensational and
dramatic speech in opposition. The
New York senator defended Secretary
Carlisle and his administration of the
treasury against loose insinuations of
irregularities, and showed the preva-
lence of charges of this character by
presenting and reading in full the
charges made by Senator Chandler
against the friends of Mckinley that
levy of money was being made on pro-
tected industries i'll behalf of McKin-
ley's candidacy for the presidency. AS
a further evidence of the prevalence of
the charges, Hill spoke of the sugar
investigation, where, he said, one SEN
ator, referring to Quay, had frankly
admitted that he had bought sugar
stock and had right to buy it, and
today that senator was the favorite son
OF the leading republican state as a
candidate for the presidency.
Washington, April 20.-To avoid
struggle for precedence, the senate, ON
motion of Canon, took up the resolu.
tion directing the secretary of the in
terror to open the Uncompahgre reser-
vation without further delay, the I'M
derstanding being that the bond in
vestigation resolution should come up
at ? o'clock as unfinished business.
After Brown had spoken for the resolu-
tion he sought to secure vote. Cor
man asked that action be deferred ow-
ing to the absence of Villas, who de-
sired to be heard. Aldrich said it
must be clear that there was "some.
thing behind" these efforts at delay,
and this persistence in putting off a
vote. German responded that it was
the first intimation coming from the
distinguished senator on the other side
of the chamber that delays in public
business were occurring.

Robbed by Servants,

London, April 30 William Dunlap,
described as Il valet, and William Tur.
ner, said to he footman, have been ar.
rested here. They stated that they left
the employ of gentleman in New
York recently. In Dunlaps pockets
the police found diamonds valued at
$4,000, believed to have been stolen,
and search of the room occupied by
the couple revealed bracelets, earrings,
diamonds and other jewelry of great
value. There is no doubt that these
men robbed the house of l. Townsend
Burden, of New York, in December
last, of jewelry to the value of about
$50, 900. The officials of the United
states embassy have cabled Secretary
Olney to this effect, and have asked
for extradltion papers. Streeter, the
Bond street jeweler, called at the
United States embassy today in refer.
ence to the Burden jewels. He said
the prisoners called ON him last Wed.
nesday, and he saw that many of the
stones they wanted to sell had been
torn from their settings, while others
were black with dirt. He told the
men he would have them cleaned and
make an offer on Thursday. Turner
and Dunlap left the Jewels with
Streeter, and the latter communicated

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Pittsburg
Plate Glass company Of Chicago has
filed a bill in the circuit court to
restrain the Pittsburg Plate Glass
company of Pittsburg from doing busi-
ness in the state Of Illinois under the
corporate name that it assumes.
The charges made by the complain
amt are that the defendant company is
a trust company composed of the fol-
Loving glass manufacturing concerns:
Pfttsburg Plate Glass company.
Diamond Plate Glass company. How
ard Plate Glass company, Crystal
Plate Glass company, Charleston Pate
Glass company. In January last. it IS
shown these concerns entered into a
combination to limit the production of
plate glass and also carry out restric-
tons in regard to its manufacture. so
that competition would be prevented.
BY reason of this the complainant says
that it ought to be protected in the use
of its corporate name and aver that
the transaction of business by the de-
PENDANT is unauthorized in this state.

WASHINGTON. June 17.-Pfesident
Cleveland's published statement as to
the money plank of the Democratic
national committee has caused wide
spread comment here today, although
few prominent public men outside of
cabinet officers and department off
Gals remain in town and these will
not be quoted.
Senator Jones (Pop.) of Nevada. a
prominent silver leader, said Cleve-
lands statement was not open to an
alysis.
There is lurking conceit about such
an expression said the senator, in
dicating. the belief that when he says
it will not do what he knows 1t Will
do, the public will pause and fall in
line and recognize him as a great pro-
phet. But the convention will dis
close what poor prophet he is, for
after all influence of patronage and
office the convention will be for silver.
The president merely gives IL as his
opinion that the convention will not
be for silver. passing over the merits
of the case. There is no discussion of
the right or wrong of the great ques-
ton. The statement that the free sill
Yer proposition will not attract a ma
jority of voters CT the country sounds
much like placing this large queSs:on
of shaping the platform to catch votes
rather than to set forth principles

REED IS SERENE.
STARTLING PIECE OF NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON.
Working in Behalf of the Man
From Maine

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Speaker
Reed was about the hotel quarters
throughout the morning and read the
bulletins of the early proceedings at
St Louis. Besides these, close friends
of Mr.. Reed kept him pretty thorough
~ advised of events beneath the sur
face. He maintained his usual serenity
and appears quite as much concerned
with his books as with developments of
the convention. The speaker is very
reticent and will not talk as to the
outcome of the convention.
A western congressman, who was &C
tive in behalf of Reed, received a dis
patch today saying there was a strong
undersurrent in behalf of the Maine
candidate and the outcome was nrt
yet free from doubt
This information was taken with
some allowance as it was felt he was
Influenced by preference for Reed.
Reeds friends here regard the declara-
ton in favor Of a gold plank as in
Producing a new phase in the contest
among candidates, and one which
might operate as an important factor
in shaping results if a, few days more
interviewed before ballot.
