TENSION BNX PASSED. After five days of debate the pension appropriation bjll carrying $151,000,000 was passed Wednesday without division. Throughout the debate there had been no criticism of the amount carried by the bill, debate being on the one hand con fined to an assault on the manner in which the present commissioner of pen sions had administered the offico *»h ».«• alleged unauthorized suspension of pen sions, and on the other to a defense of the attempt of the commissioner to purge the rolls of those who were not entitled to a place upon them.

Interesting facts concerning the postal service are embodied in the unusually complete report upon the appropriation bill, compiled by Representative Hender son of North Carolina, chairman of the committee on post offices. The estimates of the department on which the bill is basn I amounted to $90,399,485, exclusive of special facilities on trunk lines, an ftem amounting to §100,($14. The bill rec ommends-an appropriation of $87,470,5^(9, which is, in round numbers, 83,003,000 less than the estimates and about the same sum in advance of the appropria tions for the current year. The esti mated postal revenue for the (iseal year is so that the postal serv ice is nearly self-supporting. Instead of depending upon the future action of con gress to make good deficiencies, the hill provides that a sum equal to whatever delickaeleu may arise shall be appropri ated. r- ARMOR-PLATE CONTRACT FIGURES.

The total of steel plate thus fai furnished is 8,632 tons at $4,562,345. Tht amount still to be furnished is 10,873 tons at •?9,978,607» Of the armor yet to be fur nished the Carnegie Steel company will furnish 4,989 and the Bethlehem Iron company 5,975 tons. It is estimated thai the whole of this will be delivered by July 1,1895. IMMIGRATION STATISTICS. The report of the bureau of statistics concerning immigration for the last yeai contains a very interesting review of the arrival of immigrants since the beginning of the records, which date from Oct. 1 1820. Since that time the total numbei of immigrants landing on the shores oi the United States from foreign countries has been 17,113,937 souls. Of these the greater number came during the period frgm 1881 to 1890,the total for that decade being 5,246,613, or nearly one-third of the Germany stands first in the num- berlirsubjects she'has contributed to the population of the United States, 4,484,480, or more than one-fourth of the entire number.

SENATE TARIFF DILL IS OUT. The democratic members of the senate finance committee laid before the full committee Thursday at 11 o'clock the Wilson bill as tliey have amended it. Iron ore, which the Wilson bill put on the free list, must pay a duty of 40 cents a ton- The duty- on pig iron, iron in slabs, and blooms, rails, and iron and steel in several other forms is raised from 2% to 5 per cent, and the duty on cast iron pipe and boiler tubes is reduced 5 per cent. The Wilson bill made coal free. To oblige the senators from Alabama, West Virginia, and Maryland a duty of 4C cents a ton is recommended. The Wilson bill as it originally passed the house had both raw and refined sugar on the free list. The amended bill puts a duty of a cent a pound on raw sugar and the sugar trust has secured protection to the extent of a quarter of a cent a pound, which was the figure in the Wilson as drafted. bill The whisky tax is advanced from a dol lar to $1.10, and the bonded period is ex tended'from three years to eight. The duties on china and glass are raised from 5 to 15 per cent. The Wilson bill put a duty of 15 per cent ad valorem on lead ore, with *the proviso that in ores containing silver and lead where the value of the former was greater than of the latter the lead should be admitted free. The subcommittee more than doubles the duty, and provides that duty shall be paid on all lead'in the silver and lead ores. The Wilson bill has a provision that the duties oif all woolen manufactures except carpets be lowered 1 per cent an nually, beginning July, 1896, and ending July, 1900, at which time the duties will be 5 per cent lower than those fixed for 1895. The subcommittee recommends that this be stricken out and also that the duties on the most expensive woolen and worsted yarns be reduced a little. The cotton and other schedules remain unchanged. Various increases in the metal schedule are made, apparently as a result mainly the withdrawal of free raw materials from the manufacturers. Free lumber •emails. Municipal elections were held in a number of cities throughout Iowa Mon ly. Des Moines and several other cities with special charters held no eloction. The wpathcr all over stat was extremely disagreeable, and in most places the vote was light. There wero few contests. Party lines were not closely drawn. The republicans made gains in several cities that have been steadily republican and in some others gained slightly in coun cilmen. The largest gain was in Iowa City, where they carried every ward but one. LATEST NBW8. There will be a clash between the con tending forces on the biennial session question and it now looks as If Governor McKinley would bo defeated after all in hlsmessage recommendation. The poli ticians have control and they are inter ested in having the legislature meet as often as possible and remain in session as long as they will possibly stand it. The people of all parties are disgusted at the probable compromise upon annual ses sions that now seems absolutely neces sary. After being out six hours the jury found Daniel Coughlin, of Chicago, not guilty of the murder of Dr. Patrick Henry Cronin. The vordict of acquiftal, al though not entirely unexpected by the prisoner, was evidently a big surprise to him, for he seemed for a moment or two not to fully realize it, but when he did his face lighted up and a smile passed over it. The friends of Big Dan at once surrounded him, and he whoso life was at stake but a moment before was show ered with congratulations over his es cape from the gallows. Mr. Gladstone is seriously 111 as the re sult of a chill. According to the state ment made in connection with the sick ness of the ex-premier,thelatter, walked home from Brooks' club, after dining there with his late secretaries. He walk ed through St. James park, though the night was a chilly one for even a young and robust man to venture out into after dining at'a heated club. As a result he contracted a chill, and upon reaching his home had to be hurried off to bed. In spite of Mr. Gladstone's desire that a physician should not be summoned,claim ing that his indisposition was o&y a slight matter, a doctor was called and Mr. Gladstone put under treatment. A row has been precipitated among western roads that is likely to break up every western traffic association to which the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail road company is a party. The with drawal of this company from the agree ment to restrict the issue of free trans portation stirred up the angry passions of some of the managers of western roads to such an extent as to make themselves guilty of actions which the receivers and managing officers of the Santa Fe con sider a deadly insult. It is their deter mination to get even with the perpetrat ors of the act by serving notice of with drawal from every association of which they are members unless full retraction of the alleged slanderous accusation! against them is made at once. The election returns from the various counties of New York show republican gains. They have made gains in some districts that the democrats held to be essentially their own. In Geneva the republicans made a clean sweep. Every one of their candidates was eiected by an overwhelming majority. In Rochester the republicans are jubilant over the outcome of the election, their candidate for Mayor having been elected by a ma jority of 3.000. In Little Falls not a dem ocrat was elected. Every town in Wayne county shows republican gains. In Gloversville the board of aldermen is en tirely republican. The returns from Rockland, Washington, Essex, Clinton, and Greene eounties all show that the re publicans have either held their own oi made large gains. Lansingburg #!ected the entire republican ticket by over 1,200 majority. Last year the democratic ma jority was 565. Saratoga county.went re publican by increased majorities. In Ithaca the republicans sained a decided victory A statement has been prepared by the immigration bureau showing the number of immigrants arriving, at the ports of New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore from foreign ports during the calendar year 1893. The whole number is 431,712, and these, it is said, represent, at least four-fifths of the whole nnmbcr which arrived at all American ports. Thirty-two buildings in the center of Deadwood, S. D., were destroyd by fire Mondav. A good deal of suffering in all probability will be felt for a time, but in the end the fire will be a benefit to the city, for most of the buildings consumed were owned by eastern syndicates and were veritable fire traps and will soon be rebuilt with brick. The lessees are real ly the losers, for their all was lost. Developments prove" that the transac tions of the Michigan Mortgage company, which recently assigned,covered some re markabie financial mismanagement. About $70,000 of the liabilities of the company consists of money paid by mort gagors who supposed that their mort gages had been discharged, when in fact they were not discharged, neither was the money so received turned over to the mortgagees. The Great Northern contest over wages, which has been going on the last two months, was adjusted Wednesday by General Manager Case of the Great Northern, Grand Master Sargent of the Locomotive Firemen and Chief Arthur of the Locomotive Engineers, the confer ence lasting several hours. The firemen and engineers get certain concessions as to hours of labor, but accent the uniform cut of 10 per cent in wages. A death blow has been dealt the no torious Goodman gang in the arrest of Isaac Goodman, father of Dick Goodman, the leader of the gang that has intimi dated and victimized the people of the In diana gas belt for the last year. Isaac Goodman was placed under arrest on in dictments charging him with keeping a rendezvous for the gang and receiving and keeping stolen property, as well as being one of the organization. The Iowa senate ways and means com mittee has agreed on a bill for the com plete revision of the revenue laws of the state. The bill provides that there sh&ll be a tax on direct inheritances of 1 per cent above $50,000 and 5 per cent above $1,000,000 all other inheritances 5 per cent on sums of $5,000 and upward to $100,000, above which figure it is 10 per cent.
