Yerely arraigned the committee on
rules for the tyranny 1t was said to
exercise over the proceedings of the

again stood by the policy adopted
few days ago in the case of the widow
of Major General StOneman, in fixing
the rate of her pension at $50 per
month, by rejecting conference re-
port granting a pension of $75 to the
widow of General Joseph B. Carr.

sALISBURYS sNUB To WILLIAM.
The Emperor's Proposal for Blockade
Promptly Rejected.

Berlin, Feb. 20.-The newspapers of
this city reflect the bitter resentment
felt by Emperor William at the re-
lection by the Marquis of Salisbury of
his majesty's personal proposal to CO.
cree Greece by joint blockade of the
Piraeus, the port of Athens, by the
fleets of the powers
The emperor's proposal caused great
surprise in diplomatic circles, as it was
generally assumed hat he would not
oppose the Greek pretensions in regard
to Crete, owing to his sister, Sophia,
being the wife of the Duke Of Sparta.
the crown prince Of Greece. But it ap-
pears that there has long been an abb
solute estrangement between the em-
peror and his sister, arising from old
time quarreis, ana HIS majesty, In adj
dition, has never been over friendly TO
the royal family of Greece
The emperor's proposal to blockade
the Piraeus was urged by his majesty
with unusual vehemence. The Mar
quis of Salisbury, without any hesltn-
ton, promptly declined the emperors
proposition, saying that public opinion
in Great Britain would never acquiesce
in such a. policy.
