WlTtr NATIONAL LAWMAKERS Brief Summary of the Dotags of the People's Servants in Session at Washington Cleverly Condensed by Special Correspondents. Wednesday, Jan. 21. For three hours Mr. Burnham of New Hampshire addressed the senate in opposition to the omnibus statehood bill. Mr. Culiom explained the neces­ sity for considering the Cuban reci­ procity treaty, and appealed to Mr. Quay to permit an executive session. The latter refused, and the matter was put to a vote, with the result that the senate refused to go into executive session by a vote of 37 to 27, Which was the first test vote on the state­ hood bill. Toward the end of the day Mr. Hoar criticised the president for expressing approval or disapproval of bills before congress had acted on them. His remarks were called forth by Mr. Burton offering a. bill, which, he said;- bad been vetoed once by the president, but that it now met'with his approval. By unanimous consent a bill amending the bankruptcy act was passed, and the senate adjourned. The house spent the day in debate on the Philippine coinage bill. The minority offered a substitute providing for the introduction of the American currency system into the island, and it received powerful support from Mr. Hill (Rep., Conn ), who declared on the floor that the proposition for the extension of the American system had tbte -support of Secretary Shaw and other high officials of the treasury de­ partment. The military academy appropriation bill was reported, abd the house ad­ journed. Thu sday, Jan. 22. Mr. Fairbanks decided not to call up the immigration bill in the senate. The statehood bill was then taken up on motion of Mr. Quay. Mr. Quay yielded to permit the passage of a bill to appoint Brigadier General H. C. Merriam, retired, to the grade of Major General on the retired list. Mr. Burnham then resumed bis speech on the statehood bill. • He did not con­ clude bis remarks. The legislative, ex­ ecutive and judicial appropriation bill was sent to conference. The bouse passed a resolution authorizing the committee on naval affairs to investigate the charges of attempted bribery brought by Repre­ sentative LessJer. Thi» "Philippines currency bill wan then discussed. A resolution was adopted calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for a list of the national banks holding gov­ ernment deposits, other than deposits of disbursing officers, Dec. 31, 1892, and on each succeeding Dec. 31 up to the present time, with the amount held and tbe average amouit of such de­ posits in each year. The bouse then proceeded to tbe consideration of the Alaska delegate bill. Friday, Jan. 23. The statehood bill again occupied the attention of tbe senate. During the debate several spirited colloquies occurred in which senators on both sides of the question charged tbe oth­ ers with obstructing important legis­ lation. Mr Burnham continued bis re­ marks in opposition to the admission of Oklahoma, Arizoha and New Mex­ ico. During the morning hour Mr. Fairbanks made an ineffectual attempt to secure consideration of the immi­ gration bill. The house passed 235 private pen­ sion bills. They included pensions to the widow of Gen. Franz Sigel at $100 a month, the widow of Gen. Francis Negley at $50 and tbe widow of Rear Admiral Henry Picking at $40. Tbe Alaska delegate bill was pasBed. It provides for the representation of the territory of Alaska in the house of rep­ resentatives by a delegate. It also de­ fines the citizenship and the qualifica­ tion of electors, and creates tbe ma­ chinery for the elections, the«date of which shall be tbe last Tuesday in September. Tbe first delegate is to be elected next autumn and is to hold a seat in the Fifty-eighth congress. ?=* Saturday, Jan. 24. The Senate bad barely assembled when Mr. Quay. In charge of the om­ nibus statehood bill, moved that when the Senate adjourned it adjourn to meet at 11 o'clock Monday, an hour in advance of the usual time. He gave as his reason for this motion the fact that tbe diplomatic appropriation bill is to be taken up Monday. Mr. Hale objected to tbe motion as being op­ posed to the real expedition of busi­ ness, and the request was withdrawn by Mr. Quay, who said he did so in deference to the wishes of the appro priations committee. A bill Increasing the limit of cost of the public building In Defense of Glenn. Manila cable: At the court-mar­ tial of Major Edwin F. Glenn at Ma­ nila two civilian scouts testified that tbey ordered the native guides killed, and that Major Glenn did not order their execution as charged. at Indianapolis t^ the extent of $400,- 000 was passed. On Mr. Quay's motion the otnnibus statehood bill was then taken up, but he gave way while a number of bills to which there was no objection were passed. At 1:30 the statehood bill was again called up, and Mr. Spooner took the floor. He said be did not propose to speak, of the pending bill and began discussing the Indianola, Miss., postofflce case. The session closed with tbe passage of a number or private pension bills. After some routine business the House went into committee' „of the whole and took up the consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill. Mr. Wadsworth exp!ained that it car­ ried $5,238,860, being $29,000 in excesB of the current law. One of the in­ creases consists of an appropriation of $10,000 for Investigating the best method of exterminating the cotton boll weevil. The appropriation for tbe distribution of seed was increased from $270,000 to $300,000 on motion of Mr. Chandler (Miss). The bill was then passed, and the House adjourned until Sunday, when eulogies will be delivered on the life and public ser­ vices of the late Representatives De- graffeareid and Sheppard of Texas. 8unday, Jan. 25. The house of representatives insti­ tuted the experiment of holding me­ morial services f<jr deceased members on Sunday. It will be followed here­ after during this session and probably will become the general practice in the house in the future. Tribute was paid to the life of Representatives Rus­ sell of Connecticut and Sheppard and Degraffenreld of Texas, all of whom died during the congressional recess. The attendance In. the galleries was large, and there was a numerous as­ semblage of the friends of the de­ ceased members on the floor. Monday, Jan. 26. * In the senate Mr. Quay, in charge of the omnibus statehood bill, insisted upon its consideration to the exclusion of other business. When Senator Piatt of New York attempted to cail up a committee report providing for the printing of a document Mr. Quay objected. Mr. Halo thereupon de­ clared Mr. Quay was confiscating the time of the senate. The latter replied calmly that this could be obviated by allowing a vote on the statehood bill. A resolution offered by Mr. Morgan of Alabama questioning the credentials of Dr. Herron, the Colombian charge d'affairs, who signed with Secretary Hay the canal treaty, caused the sen­ ate to go into a long executive session. At its conclusion the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill was passed. The credentials of Senator Alger and of Senator Kittredge to succeed him­ self were presented and the oath of offico administered to them. The statehood bill then was taken up, and Mr. Foraker, having it in charge in the absence of Mr. Quay, yielded for the passage of a house bill making an appropriation for the suppression and to prevent the spread of contagi­ ous and infectious diseases of live stock. The house made a new record In the matter of appropriation bills. The military academy bill, carrying $644.- 273, was passed without a single word of debate. The Indian bill, wnich fol­ lowed, was not completed, as Mr. Bur­ ton (Ohio) made a long speech on it in general criticism of the policy of the government toward the Indians. He offered several amendments, but tbey were all rejected. A resolution was adopted calling on the postmaster general for the cbrrespondence in the Indianola. Miss., postofflce case. Mr. Overstreet (Ind.) submitted tbe re­ port upon the anti trust bill and ob­ tained consent for individual members of the judiciary committee to file their personal views. The bouse ordered 5,000 copies of the majority report. INDICTMENT IN COAL CASES Ottawa Grand Jury Returns Bills Against Nine Dealers.

HAY'S PDO HIM HONOR Point'to the Numerous Dlplo- , patic Triumphs That He 7-4 Has Achieved. to press its consideration oatfl the statehood deadlock is broken. ENDS AUSKABOUNDARY FIGHT Signing of the Treaty for a Commis­ sion to Settle the Disputie Is Claimed to • Be the Cap 8heaf to His Ef­ forts. Washington dispatch:, 'ffriends of Secretary Hay are disposed to con­ gratulate him on the numerous diplo­ matic triumphs he bas scored since be became the head of the State de­ partment. The announcement that he had completed the negotiations for a treaty with Great Britain for the appointment of a joint commission to settle the long drawn out dispute over the Alaskan boundary is pointed to as the cap sheaf of a numerous line of diplomatic successes. That their praise has substantial cause is shown, they say, by the following list of im­ portant results achieved by the State department under Secretary Hay's di­ rections: Drew the modus vivemdt with refer­ ence to the Alaskan boundary, by which a clash ^between the United States and Canada was averted. Saves China. Sent & note to the powers with refer­ ence to China, by which a principle was laid down which in the end pre­ vented the dismemberment of China. Negotiated the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, by which the construction of an isthmian canal by the United States, tbe neutrality of which was guaranteed to the world's commerce, was made possible. Extra Session Talk. Washington dispatch: ^ Several Re­ publican senators expect an extra ses­ sion of congress. Senator Spooler, who Is an excellent judge of the legis­ lative situation, says that an extra session is practically inevitable. The deadlock over, the statehood bill has occupied so much time and prevented the consideration of so many impor­ tant bills that it is doubtful whether congress can dispose of tbe pressing matters even though the statehood fight is finished this week. It Is th« intention of Mr. Quay of Pennsylvania, who Is leading the omnibus forces, to press matters during the next few days in the hope of obtaining an agree­ ment for a vote, but the senate lead­ ers who are opposing him give no evi- aence of surrendering. Day for Supreme Bench^ Washington dispatch: William R. Day of Ohio, judge of the Unit­ ed States Circuit court of the Sixth circuit, has indicated to the president his willingness to accept an appointment as associate justice of the Supreme court of tbe United States. This is in response to the in­ formal tender. He will succeed Jus­ tice Shlras, who is expected to retire some time next month. The president has not yet .selected Judge Da^'|t suc­ cessor In the Circuit coui\. c Consular Appropriation. Washington dispatch: The diplo­ matic and consular appropriation bill, as reported to tbe Senate, carries. $36,- 000 more than the amount appro­ priated by the house. It authorizes the payment to the widow of the late minister to Japan, Mr. Buck, of $6,000, and to the heirs of Thomas F. Prentis, late consul at Martinique, who lost his life in the Mont Pelee disaster, of $6,000. The other Increases are main­ ly in the rank and pay of consuls. Moody on Vacation. Washington dispatch: Secretary ANOTHER RICH GOLD 8TRIKE REPORTED FROM ALASKA. ; The Dream. The Realization. Detroit Free Press. Wrote the Roumanian note to tbe powers signatory to tbe treaty of Ber­ lin, which guaranteed civil rights to the Hebrews in Roumania, obtaining for them their rights, and preventing further persecution and the immigra­ tion of thousands of pauperized He­ brews to tbe , United States every year. Negotiated a reciprocity treaty with Cuba. Induced the powers coercing Vene­ zuela to recognize the principle of ar­ bitration and refer the question to The Hague tribunal. Negotiated tbe Panama Canal treaty with Colombia. Negotiated a treaty with Great Britain to settle the Alaskan boundary dispute by a joint commission. OPPOSE CUBAN PACT* Outlook for Reciprocity Treaty Is Not So Bright qp It Was. Washington special: Opposition to the Cuban reciprocity treaty is grow­ ing. It has been tbe claim of the friends of the treaty that it would re­ ceive tbe solid Republican vote. It is definitely known that this promise will not be realized. Senator Bard of Cal­ ifornia is one Republican at least wbo will vote against ratification, and his colleague, Mr. Perkins, has sent his legislature, now in session, a tele­ gram announcing that should the legis­ lature request, he also will vote against it. The effect of tbe British protest against the treaty is problem­ atical. Should it result in the defeat of the committee amendments which commit the government to a policy of not granting concessions to sugar from other countries and which make the life of the treaty five years, sugar beet senators who were opposed to the treaty without these amendments will probably again fight its ratification. Altogether the prospects of Cuban rec­ iprocity are not as bright as they were, and the danger of the treaty failing seems to increase. Senator Cullom, chairman of the foreign rela­ tions committee, who has the treaty in charge, does not at present propose Germany Expels Mormons. Berlin cable: German opposition to Mormonism has again appeared. Several Mormons who have been advo­ cating the tenets of their se$t near Hanover have been notified that they must leave Prussian soil. > . * - . Moody and ltak_st£nograpber.

A ̂ Washington dispatch: Just at th» "X present time there seems to be an ei*V :; f| cellent prospect that the Venezuelan ^ difficulty will be settled on a fair bas|» and speedily.
