NEW BILLS IN THE HOUSE.
Tk? Srnmle.
Among tho petitions presented and referred were
two from the state ol Kansas, one in tavor ol an
Import tax on raw silk, and the other to make
good to the ofllcers and soldier* of the late war the
difference between gold and the gold value of the
greenbacks in which they were paid.
? ti g OFCIGARRTTES ETC., TO MINORS IN THB DISTBIOT.
Mr. Chace presented petitions signed by elghty
?ix pastors of churches and 654 superintendents,
officers, and teachers of public schools, and 237
physicians of the District of Columbia, asking
legislation to prohibit the sale of cigars, cigarette*,
or tobacco to boys under slxieen years of age. He
said that the signers of the petitions had investi
gated the subject with great care, and had become
impressed with the belief that the evil was very
nave and serious.
Mr. Stewart added that the use of cigarettes was
destroying the rising generation and affecting in
juriously the prosperity of the country.
The petitions were ordered printed as a public
document.
BILLS RETORTED.
Among the bills reported from committees and
placed on the calendar (except otherwise noted)
were the following:
senate bill to authorize the construction of a
bridge across the Arkansas Klver at Little Bosk.
A bill to authorize the sale ol a tract ol land on
the military reservation at fort Leavenworth,
K&n.
senate Joint resolution providing that the public
lands in Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas now
subject to private entry shall be disposed of ac
oorolng to the provisions of the homestead laws
only until pending legislation affecting such lands
shall be disposed of, or until the present session Of
Congress adjourn. Passed.
A conference committee on the House joint reso
lution accepting tue Invitation of the French ro
publlc to taKe part in the international exposition
at Paris in iw? was ordered, and senators Sher
man, Evans, and Brown were appointed.
on motion of Mr. call the House substitute to
the Senate bill tor a light or lights and other aids
to navigation to guide to Charlotte Harbor, Flor
ida, was concurred in.
THE DISTRICT TOOL PROHIBITION BILL FASSKD.
On motion of Mr. Blackburn the House bill pro
hibiting the making (in Washington or George
town) of "books" or "pools" on the result of trot
ting or running races, or boat r&oes, or base ball
was taken from the calendar and passed.
THE RAILROAD LAND FORFB1TDRB BILL.
The Senate then resumed consideration of the
bill to forfeit certain lands heretofore granted lor
the purpose of aiding In the construction of rail
roads?the question being on an amendment
offered by Mr. Stockbrldge, and amendments
thereto offered by Mr. Palmer.
Mr. stockbrldge withdrew his amendment.
Mr Dawes called attention to the fact that
the bill would affect the rights of the homsttad
ers on, and purchasers of, certain lands In Michi
gan granted to that state for railroad purposes,
but transferred by the state to the canal company,
such lands coming under the designation ol "un
earned railroad lands." He asked the Senator
from Michigan (Palmer) If he proposed to except
these lands from the operation of the bllL
Mr. Palmer replied that he was perfectly willing
to have them so excepted; but he thougtttthat, by
the operation of the bill, they were excepted.
Mr. Dawes said that, if they were, he was con
tent- but many citizens of Massachusetts were In
terested In the question a* purchasers of these
].n.ia in good faith. As he understood the bill. It
would cut off everybody's claim to these lands, and
the lands would become Ue novo public lands, un
der the control of the United States; still he might
be mistaken. . _ . . ..
Mr. palmer thought that he was, but he would
have more confidence In the Senator's Judgment
than his own. . _
Mr. Stewart proceeded to address the Senate,
giving a general review of the land policy of the
Government.
Houm ?( Representative*.
The Speaker laid before the House an Invitation
to participate In the celebration of the centennial
anniversary of the inauguration of George Wash
lngton, to be held in New York April 90,1869. Re
ferred to the committee on ths judiciary.
OPPOSING A PENSION BILL.
The pending business coming over from the
Friday nlgflt session was senate bill granting a
pension of f 100 a montli to Uie widow of Gen.
James B. Rlr ketts, with an amendment reducing
the rate to 175.
Mr. Cheadle, of Indiana, opposed the bill as still
further extending the liberal discrimination in
favor of the widows of officers and against the
widows of private soldiers. It was time that the
House should call a halt lu the enactment of
special pensions. The officers of the Army had
not made all the sacrifices; the men of the musket
had made the sacrifices neceesary to save the liie
ot the I'd ion. ' . ... .
Mr. Bland (Ma), wjille in favor of liberal pen
slons to the widows of soldiers who lost their lives
during the war, or who died from wounds received
In the service, was opposed to singling out those
moving In aristocratic circles lor special gratuity.
Mr. Randall (Pa.) eulogized the services of oen.
Rlcketts in the Mexican, Seminole ana civil wars,
and stated that the widow who would be the
recipient of the pension had rendered the service
of nurse for many months among the Union pris
oners ol Libby Prison.
Mr. O'Neill (Pa.), thought that no more gallant
soldier ever lived thau General Rlcketts, and
he bore testimony to the humanity and kindness
which Mrs. Ricketts had always displayed toward
the veterans of the war.
THE RICEBTTS' PENSION BILL PASSED.
The amendment was adopted, and the bill as
amended passed.
Under the call of states the following bills and
resolutions were introduced and referred:

TUB FISHBRIES TREAT!'.

A SF0GE8TI0N THAT T*( TUB ATT BE TESTED 0*E
SEASON CMDBK THE OPERATION Of THE MODUS
?mWW?THJI QUESTION OP OPEN OK IKUT
?mom
The democratic senators held another caucus
this morning to discuss the fisheries treaty and
the best method of handling It. There was a
general discussion extending over an hour,
during which it was stated that the ap
parent purpose of the republicans is to make
the treaty a party question, and to reject It out
right. xt is proposed that rather than have this
occur the democrats should assent to defer action
upon the treaty that lis provisions may be actu
ally tested under the modus virendi?that is, that
the democrats are willing to let the fishermen, the
men who are Immediately interested, practically
test the benefit or evils that may result from the
treaty. The modus Vivendi provides that by certain
payments for a specified time, the flshennea may
nave most of the privileges of the treaty. The
democratic Senators declare that this suggestion
by them Is only in the nature of an alternative to
prevent. If possible, the summary rejection of the
treaty; that they have entire confidence in the
wisdom and beneficent features of the
instrument, and would gladly vote at
once for its ratification, but as they have
not the power to ratify it, and the republicans
have the power to reject it, they are willing to
leave It In abeyance for one season, and accept the
Judgment of the fishermen as to Its operation.
V\ ith regard to open or secret sessions for con
sideration of the treaty, It was decided that
every Senator may vote as his Judgment
dictates. The impression is that the re

AN EFFORT BEING MADE TO IMPROVE ITS SCR
ROUKDIKGR.
Preparations are at last being made for the re
moval of the unsightly materials and buildings
that have for a long time marred the appearance
of the grounds about the south front of the beau
tiful State, War, and Navy building, on Monday
last the materials were sold at auction, and are
now being removed. The conditions of the sale
are that the rubtiisti shall be removed by the 27th
of this month. As soon as the ground Is cleared
CoL Wilson will begin work in beautifying the
front, gradltB and sodding. There is but a little
money available for this purpose, which has been
kept back with a view of utilizing it lu? this man
ner. It is thought that wit h the mtneyon baud
the ground can be cleaned and put in fair con
dition. By the 1st of July there will it* a great
difference In the view from the State Department
windows. In this connection it may be mentioned
that there Is great necessity lor improvements in
the vicinity of the building in the way 01 paving.
Superintendent Wilson has asked for (11,000 to
pave the street between the White House and the
Navy Department and the street on the south,
In their present unpaved condition the dust blows
upon tho building and is rapidly staining the
?;ranlte. It will cost, tne superintendent estimates,
uliy $2,000 a year to clean the9o fronts, as every
time they are scraped and washed they beoome
dirty again In a very short time. Soap and water
is of no avail, and the only remedy for the stains
Is the use of acid and scraping stones. If these
pavements ware once laid the cause of the trouble
would be permanently removed. Nor is the build
ing the only sufferer. In the summer with the
w indows open tne dust blows in volumes, choking
the clerks and ruining the furniture and carpets.
In the winter the mud is trackcd through the ball
ways. The superintendent thinks that these are
good reasons for paving these streets. The fate of
ihe marble fronts or the House and senate wings
from dust discoloration is a warning The small
columns on the east front of the new War Depart
ment building are already stained around their
bases, so that the marks can only be removed by
tM u?e of acid. There is a chance ef an appro
pttatlon for paving the street between the Wuite
House and the Treasury, and there Is no reason,
the superintendent thinks, why the same should
nbt be done around this building. The lTih-streei
pavement l&Also in a very bad condition.
