plying to somo of Mr. Aldrlohs statements,
B , when tho prosldtng ollloer (Mr. Ingalls) called
UMwfi attention to the agreement that general do-
mMmi .' bate was to closo nt 3 o'clock. It was now ten
MMWt 'l minutes after that tlrao. Various propositions
1 l' were made and llnnlly It was agreed br unani-
1 mous consent that tho Senate bill should be
F I: laid on the tnblo. and tho House bill substl-

H .1 Mr. htowart-I would bo satisfied with that

H j . Mr. lilalr lou would find n cood many other

H Mr. l'lntt (Iiop., Conn.) Does the Senator
H , from NoviiJa bol!oo that If the maximum
H amount of silver authorized by law to bo
H ' coined oru coined, tho rosult would be to re-
H stuVo the equivalency between cold and sliver
H ,i dollars If that ho tho Senator's belief, und
H ; Ir it he correct, then It seems to mo that that
H Is a ground n which nil miiiht tneot.
H Mr. Stewart replied that that was his belief.
H and I'oiirludod by saylnctbat Concress should

H t ' Mr. lleuk'iui lllom.. Toxai) nddresseii tho
H Honato In uilvocin'y of tho unlimited colnnco
H j of f-lUer. and compared tlio pretensions of its
H f enemies, who now claimed to be in Its favor, to
B ! tbo Irishman who was huntine foremplov-
Imont. but was pruylnc to Ood that he would
not find It. That wax tbo position, he said, ot
, tbo I'resldent of tho L'nltod States, tho becro-
; tnry of the Treasury, nml of tb bonator from
, llhndo Island i.Mr. Aldrlch). They pretended
tnbohuntlne for free colnae of silver, but
I they hoped netor to find It, and wero devlslni;
B nil sorts of schemes nnd plans to avoid It.
H : In tho course of his remarks Mr. Iioncan
I maile ui-e of tho word " peai-antry," and wna
B . , lmmndlately cauuht up by Mr. lllair and was
m ! usked to indicate whom hs meant by peasantry.
B lie Raid he would substitute the word "farmer."
B ; J, nnd remarked sarcastically that the benator
BB from New Hampshire, while unwilline to hear
Bl! them spoken of hs peasantry, was wllllne to
BBff I sncilflco them by opposing the free oolnauoof

Washinoton, June 13, Bpeaker Ileed has
I caused a ripple of excitement among his He-
t publican collaacuos in the House by letting It
' ! become known that In bis opinion rlcldeoon-
i' ' omyraustbe the watchword for the remainder
) of this session or his party will find Itself in an
1 embarnsslng situation from which they will
, not bo ublo to escapo. With the exception of
a tho Disability l'onslon bill, which passed the
K Jloieiho otherday, very little legislation has
j ! been onac.ed or mapped out providing for any
I : , N excossivo espendlturs of money, and
1,1 I it Ii plain that Mr. Reed did all
1 1 fi l tt uid to mala Lu cwloacuos tea
the lack of wisdom In adding t7S,000,000 r
ilOO.000,000 to tho annual expenditure for
pensions. That bill passod the House, how
evor. and now the Speaker says that extrava
ganco must cease. The latest bill upon whloh
ho has set his foot, and which has cnusod the
eroatust Indignation among many of his fol
lowers and supporters in the House Is tho Son
ato bill appropriating In round numbors JO.
000.000 for tho completion of the work
of Improving tho vast waterway of th
grent lakos by widonlng tho Hay Lake
ohannol In the. Hu, Mary's, HUor and
tho enlargement of the locks of the crest canal
nt Hault bte. Mnrlo. '1 he bill passod the bori
nte two or throo month9 ago and was favorably
nctod upon by tho Houso Commlttoo on Hlvers
nnd Harbors. It is now on tho calondnr for no
tion, but Its frlonds have nlmostghan uphopo.
The bpoakcr Is opposed to it, and It has beon
Impossible to bring Influenco enough to benr
to get his consent for Its consideration. In tho
expectation that It will to passod the fcori
ato Commlttoo on Commerco, which Is
now ongngod In. tho preparation of tho
lllver und Harbor bill. ,hn loft
this opon so that tho nggrogate of their bjlU'iiii
bo kept at as low a Ilgure ns possible. If the
llrtn&n tnlla In nuKAlirinn the bis! bill. hOWOVOr,
It will bo nocessary to ndd In tho bonnto com
mlttoo an amount sulllclent to coutlnuo the
Improvements during tho coming yonr. air.
Hood has oonlorred with somo of tho loadors in
both Houses on the subioct of tho nocesslty of
practising rigid economy, in view of tho vast
expenditures thnt havo beon provided for In
the now l'onslon bill nnd that are conteinplntod
In measures that are likely to pass,and ho thinks
that n maiorltv of his party will stand by him
in tho light. V ry few public building bills aro
slipping through nowiulms. and thero Is no
doubt that the Hpenker nnd the I'rosldent have
an understanding that there must be no wnsto
ofthepuhllc money. Mnny benato bills pro
viding for largo appropriations hnve bean ul
lon to lie upon the bponker's tabloorln the
commltteo rooms, nnd aro npt to stuy tnero
until the end of this Congross.
Mr. Heed soems to hnvo taken entire posses
sion of tho working of tho Houso, and nothing
can be passed or be dofeated without his con
sent. Ho has forced tho tariff and silver bllli
through without siillloleiit friction to cauohlra
unensTnoes. nnd now ho Is nroparlng to send to
tho bonate within tho next four wooks a Tod
oral oleotlon bill that will nrouto the Demo
crats from ono ond of tho country to tho other.
Mr. Iteedexpocts that It will arouBO the Ito
publlcans also, and that is why he Is deter
mined to how to tho lino which ho mappod out
In his l'lttsburgh pooch. Ho has been told
by many of the best mon In both Houpos
that ho Is exhibiting his mnilod hand
too freoly. but tholbig Hpenkor only shakes his
head and says that a Federal election law is tho
only thing that can save the liomtbllonn party
from utter defeat. Many of the leading mon In
tnobonnte aro joalous and angry at Mr. Hood
for setting a paco for them so Ihelv that
they find the greatest dtffoulty In keeping up
with it, nnd thoy claim that It Is not bocomlng
In tho Houso to forco legislation upon tho
benato. The Spoakor understands his
own prorogntlvos. howovor. nnd thoso
of tho Houso of Itoprosentntlvos. and
he feols that tho most popular course just now
Is to show that he and Ills party tnionu to
carry out tho promises mado In tholr plat
forms. Tho rapidity with which the big form
of tho Spenker Is looming up Is cnuslng con
siderable anxiety to many other would-bo
lenders, and much talk is boing Indulged In as
to tho wisdom or folly of his aggressive oourso.
Thero Is no doubt that Mr. Heod s popularity
ghes much uneasiness to tho frlonds of Mr.
lllalne, nnd they are not bonrlng tholr dfa
pleasuro In sllenco. Thuro Is a strong current
hero to-day to tho effect thnt Mr. Ulalue has
had his oyo upon Mr. Hoed over slnco ho as
Mimed thoSpeakor'schair.and thru tho Plumed
Knight Is beginning to call attontion to tho
alleged mistakes which his youthful rlvnl Is
making. It Is said that the bocrotary of State.
In conversation with a Itepubllcnn Senator
yostordoy, oxprossed his emphatic, disapproval
of Mr. Heed's course, and ventured the opinion
that ho could do nothing that would bo
moro unpopular with the Iiopublicnus nnd
the rooplo generally than to fathor leg
islation providing for a. bounty on
sugar and Federal control of untlonal
olectlons. Whether Mr. lilalno said this or
not. It Is a woll known fact that hl friends aro
sneering at Mr. Heod, and predicting thnt his
dictatorship will end In his downfall and tho
defeat of tho liopublicans. Mr. Hood does not
appear to bo afraid of those predictions, nnd
has told his intimate friends that he intends to
pursue It until convinced to tlio contrary.
Tariff, silver. Federal controltof olectlons. nnd
strict economy is the progrummo marked out
by tho Hpoakor. and to which ho will hold bis
party in tho Houso for the balanco ot the
session.
Thecruisorriilladolphlawill not be equipped
ntthe New York Nuy lord. A delegation has
been hero from Philadelphia nnd represented
that that olty was ontitlod to tho work of lifting
out as well as building the vessel. The appeal
was based on sentimental and material
grounds. Tho Fecretary of tho Navy bns di
rected that tho Philadelphia bo fitted out at
tho Cramps' shlpyaid. This will necessitate
the removal of material from tho iow York
havy Yard to Philadelphia.
Mr. Hyland C. Kirk, tho claimant who n fow
days ago cnarged Mr. Springer of Illinois with
being corruptly Influoncod by tho enomlos of
his claim, has put his chargos Into formal
sbnpe. Ho has urnwn up a long lotter to
bpeaker Heed, in tho form ot nn nuldnvlt. and
ho swears that Jlr. Springer, when Chairman
of tho Committee on Claims in the Torty-slxth
Cougrefs. offered to champion his claim bill
upon the payment of tOOd. Mr. hlrk says that
Mr. Springer told him that If ho wanted his
bill to pass to see his elork und niuku nrrango
ments for tho payment of the cash. Tho clork.
Mr. Kirk says, rofusod to be the negotiator of
the bribe, and henco it was never given. It Is
not thought at all likely that bpeaker Iteed
will dignity Mr. Kirk's attack by calling It to
tbo attontion of the House. Mr. Springer has
novor beon accused of dishonesty, whatever
his faults may bo. and tho members generally
rogatd the attack upon his character as the
senseless abuse, of a disappointed claimant.
Pay Insroctor Ambroso J. Clark of tbo navy
will bo ordered to Boston Instead of to Now York.
He has boen on six months' leavo in Europe and
returned when Pay Director Looker resigned
as Paymnster-General last month. Pay In
spector Clark will relievo Pay Director Casper
Bonenck from duty In tho Boston navy pay
ofllce. and the latter goes to Annapolis, ray
Inspector John 11. btevenson, who was on duty
at the Naval Academy, was relieved by the bee-
Setary. It Is said at the department that Mr.
tevenson was severely critical of some of tho
minor officers stationed nt tho department, and
that his dotaehment from duty at tbo Academy
had been long contemplated. His last skir
mish, according to oljlcors hero, was with
C'npt Sampson, the Superintendent of the
Academy, against whom he Is said to have in
spired tho affidavits of two servants alloglng
retention ol salaries. It was at one time
planned to recroate the old ofllce of Inspector
of Provisions and Clothing nt New York for
Pay Inspector Clark, but he will bo sent to
Iloston, where he Is as well known as In New
York.
The Treasury Department has denied the
application of Mr. 11. Q. Mnrquand of New
York for the free entry of n piece of antique
tapestry nnd an enamelled copner basin re
cently imported by him, nnd which, he says,
wore lntendod to bo donntcd in n short time to
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of which he
is Presldont.

The controversy that has orison over the

upon the bill appropriating the Btimof $2.000..

ponding tho flnnl hearing in bunrome Court.
Chambers, on Monday noxt. The nrtlflclal pro

Ice Manufacturing Company. Limited. Thoy
havo nearly completed n lurge factory in Lnbt
Fifty-third street, and havo oDtainod from the
City Government porralsslon to lay pipes to
tho North Iliver under tho dock at tho foot of
Fllty-thlrd street, by which to draw water for
uso In the manufneturo of their ico. Tho
ltldgewood Ice Company, which loasos tho
right of collecting wharfngo at this dock, ob
jects to the granting of this prh liege to tho
artificial ice company, on tlio ground that It
will injure the dock nnd render It unlit for uso.
It Is an III wind thnt blows nobody good, ond
tho cost wind that has blown In from tbe son
of lato has brought with it many craft from
Maine freighted with Ico. Yosterdav, there
fore, thero was n glut In the market, nnd
prices in some quarters were perceptibly lower
than they huo been of late. The Diamond
lco nnd Transportation Company, whose ofllce
is at 1U1 Paik place, created u sensation by ad
vertising Ice nt Iti por ton, whereas tbe pre
vailing prico has besn tS. or oven higher. A
meniborof this company said yostordoy that
thelowerprico prevailed only nt their Forty
third streot depot on tho F.sst lllver. At tholr
Ye-er street und other depots tho prico us
still $8.
Tho difference, ho explained, was duo to tho
bottor facilities for unloading nt Forty-third
stroot. The lco which was blown in by tho
east wind, he said. Is mostly what Is known as
stack ice, or ico that has been stored without
tbe proper caro to prevent shrinkage. Conso
uucntlv It Is nocessary to get rid of it early In
the season before It melts.
The butchers In Washington Market were
rejoicing yesterday at the decrease in tho prico

Tho abuses of the cab system at Niagara
Falls woro considered by tho State Itosorvatloa
Commissioners at their mooting in Androw It.
Green's ofllco yesterday morning. Superin
tendent Thomas V. Welch said In his report:
At present tha difficulty of maintaining order at tbe
railroad depote and lu tb. village etreeta Is aggravated
by the action of tb. railroad companlea In establish
ing, aiding, and defending a monopoly, appirently ex
ceeding their powere a. common carriers by renting
tneexcluetie privilege of soliciting passengers on their
trains. In their denote, and lo their depot ground, at
their Niagara Falls station, to a livery company, which
also owns, operate, or control, three toll places, two
photograph galleries, and rive stores, to which they
Bstemalicaliv comey their passengers, often without
direction and before taking them to the Kalla. thu.
largely defeating tbe object of the SUte In establishing
the reservation, end granting for a mooey considers,
tlon to one tlrm a practical monopoly or th. bojlns of
catering to the visitors to Niagara Fall.
A petition slgnod by tho President and trui
toea of Niagara village and by seven or eight
hotel keepers contained bitter complaints
against this monopoly. i
Commissioner Iintchelor said emphatically
that something looking toward cab roform
must be done right away. As matters were)
now a man couldn't go to the falls without be
ing insulted by hackmen. This ho knew from
bitter nnd rorioatod oxperlence. On Commis
sioner Batchelor's motion tho Hoard resolved
to meot In Niagara village noxt July to Investi
gate tho abuses of tbo cab syctom and to pre
pare n report nn tho subject for tho blato Hall
toud Commissioners.
