The Copyright Bill Occupies Most of
the Senate's Time.
THE BILL WITH AMENDMENTS PASSED
An Amusing Colloquy Between
Messrs. Wolcott and Plumb.
A TEMPORARY SPEAKER.
SKNATK.
Senate bill confirming to th* Kansas Central
Itailroad Company the right of way over the
Fort Leavenworth military reservation was re
ported and placed on the calendar.
The conference report on the t>ill to incorpo
rate the Washington and Arlington Railroad
Company of the District of Columbia was pre
sented and agreed to.
A motion to reconsider the vote naming the
bill granting right of way to the Metropolitan
Southern Railroad Company through property
of the United States in Montgomery county,
Md-, was made by Mr. Qorman and pat on
THK COPYRIGHT BOX.
? The copyright bill having been taken up as
the unfinished business, Mr. Piatt yielded to
the request of Mr. Davis to allow some pension
bills on the calendar to l.e passed.
Mr. Paddock notified Mr. riatt that In view
of the very important bill next on the order of
business (the Indian depredations bill) he (Mr.
Paddock) would have to insist,unless an agree
ment could be secured for a vote on the copy
right bill before adjournment today, that
that bill be laid aside uud the pure food
bill taken up. He recognized Mr. Piatt's great
anxiety about the copyright bill and the labor
bestowed upon it by "him: but it looked to
hin i Mr. Paddock)?as it looked to inanv other
friends of that bill?that the question had de
generated into a wrestle between those who
speculated on the brains of other people and
who were determined to get advantage one of
the other.
Mr. l'lutt agreed with Mr. Paddock that the
copyright bill had occupied a long time and
had been kept before the Senate to the exclu
sion of other matter*?very much to his sor
row. He was as anxious to get it out of tho
way as Mr. Paddock in, and was as anxious as
that Senator could possibly be to come to the
consideration of the pure food bill. He as
sured him that he would do everything (even
refraining from discussion) in order to get a
vote on the bill, aiul did not think that it would
occupy over two hours more.
PBKBION BILLS PASSED.
Rome dozen pension bills were taken from
the calendar and passed, including bills in
creasing the pensions of the widows of Gen.
Custer, Admiral Wilkes and Gen. Daniel
Uliuiitun to ?100 a month. The first was a
House bill; all the others were Senate bills.
When the bill to give .*100 a month to Mrs.
Custer was read Mr. Plumb inquired if Mr.
Davis, chairman of the committee on pensions,
had considered the question of increasing the
pensions of the widows of private soldiers.
Mr. Davis informed him that when he (Mr.
Plumb) introduced a bill to that effect it would
be considered.
Mr. Plumb?I wish to know what the oom
mittee has done on that subject.
Mr. Davis?The committee has not had any
occasion to express an opinion upon it
Mr. Plumb?Then I um bound to suppose
that the widows of private soldiers have not
yet com* within ths purview of tb*t com
mittee.
THK SHERMAN AMENDMENT.

A TILT BETWXKK WOLCOTT AND PLCXB.
In the course of a discussion on Mr. Frye's
amendment a somewhat amusing colloquy took ;
place between Mr. Wolcott and Mr. Plumb, the
former intimating that views which Mr. Plumb
had expressed on art and artistic and liter
ary propertv might suit the ideas of the
state of Kansas in these latter days,
but were not generally accepted elsewhere, and I
Mr. Plumb retorted that such a remark did not I
become the Senator from Colorado, and that
when the time came for them to hang out their
soiled linen on the national clothes line he (Mr.
Plumb) could say as many mean things about
Colorado as Mr. Wolcott could sav about Kau
nas?even if the majority of tLe population
of Colorado had come from Kansas.
"Bui thev have not, ' said Mr. Wolcott.
"I should like to know that they have not."
said Mr. Plumb.
"I like it, too," retorted Mr. Wolcott, and the
galleries indulged in a laugh.
The vote was taken on Mr. Frye's amend
ment and it was agreed to?yeas 41, nays 34, as

MR. ISOAIXS' NEWSPAPER AMENDMEKT.
Mr. Ingalls moved to strike out of section S
the proviso allowing the publisher of a news
paper or magazine to import two copies of
any newspaper or magazine published in a
foreign country and to insert in lieu thereof
the following: "And except in the case of
newspapers and periodical,!, which are hartby
exempted from prohibition of importation.
Agreed to without division.
?ORE AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED.
Mr. Daniel suggested an amendment to sec
tion 3, which requires a printed copy of the
title of the copyrighted book, Ac., to he sent
to the librarian of Congress on or before the
day of publication in this or any foreign
country. The suggestion was to make the
section read, ''within six months after the day
of publication."
Mr. Piatt deprecated any further change* in
the bill. Mr. Daniel then suggested a recom
mittal of the bill so thst the committee might
respond to the sense of the Senate on the sub
iect snd prepare a bill in conformitv with the
udgment pronounced on the pending bill.
Mr. Piatt thought that he could hardly^* ex*
peeled to mak* such - a motion. Of coarse he
eonld not prevent its being made. Bat every
one knew that a recommittal of th* bill wonld
be the end of any hop* to obtain a copyright
bill at this m suon.
Mr. Daniel?Then I offer th* amendment
which I hav* suggested.
Mr. OarUsl*, responding to a remark of Mr.
Plait's that the provision which Mr. Daniel
sought to amend had the'approval of all the
AmerieManthon exoept on*, read from an ar
ticle In the Stew York Tribune of February 10,

thatfe ]>ropoaed to MCrifle* the inter sets of art

part of the Author*' League expressing sur
prise and regret that the rery first response of
the Senate for copyright should be a sweeping
denial of it to the painters, draughtsmen,

that would inevitably be the effect of the litho
graphic amendment.'
Mr. Carlisle clotted by an ring that he would
hare to rote against the* bill.

THE VACANT SECRETARYSHIP.
Cannon Oat of the Kmc*? Ex-Uov. Fa
lielleved to Have Keen Selected.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois, it is said, is no longer
being considered in connection with the sec
retaryship of the treasury. The appointment
of the Secretary will be made this week, and it
is stated with positiveness, on what ought to be
excellent anthority, that Mr. Harrison has de
cided to appoint ex-Gov. Foster of Ohio. He
would not select a man from the far west for
the reason that he did not want to give any sort
of countenance to the free silver movement,
and the selection of Got. Foster is in part due
to the fact that his record on the money ques
tion is sound. When the inflation craze had a
hold on Ohio be made an issue against the
movement and was elected governor of Ohio.
FINANCIAL PLANS THAT( FAILED.
Representative Wade on the Situatloa?He
Applauds Cleveland's Stiver Letter.
Representative Wade of Missouri says that he
thinks the shipping bill will pass the house be
fore the end of the session, but that he thinks
there is little hope of any other legislation.
Mr. Wade is one of the southwestern men
who does not believe in free coinage of silver.
He has some very positive convictions on
financial questions, and they do not accord
with what is usually regarded as the southern
and western sentiment.
"There should have been some financial leg
islation^' he said to a Stab reporter today,
"and there would have been, had certain mem
bers of our own party acted squarely.
Mr. Harrison did all he* could in the
matter and there was everv reason
to expect that a proper bill would be passed,
but tne action of those republicans who have
gone wild on the silver question has destroyed
all our plans. I should have to use strong
language to express my opinion of the action of
these men.
"The bill reported bv the Senate finance
committee should have been passed. only that
there should have been e3W),OOO.COO in
stead of r200.000,000 ia 2 per cent
bonds authorized, r.nd the national banks
should have been authorized to usue currcn-'v
to the pur value of this deposit of bonds.
This would have been done but for those gen
tlemen in the Senate who are bigger than their
party. The public debt would have
been refunded with these bonds,
the national banks would Lave issued currency
for the full amount and the increase of the cir
culating medium that is necessary
would have been had. The talk of
the free coinage of silver furnishing
the needed relief is absurd. It would not in
crease the value of money if it is true ns the
silver men claim, that foreign silver would not
be sent here, for we already consume
more than the product of the American
mines. The refunding of the public debt
on a 2 per cent basis and the enlargement of
the national bank circulation is what should
have been provided for. The banks pay a tax
of 1 per ccnt on their circulation. This would
practically put the public debt on a 1 per cent
XL. Cleveland's silver letteb.
Speaking of Mr. Cleveland's anti-silver letter,
Mr. Wade said that he thought the writing of
that letter was an act of the highest patriotism.
"The democratic party," he said, "in trying to
follow the Farmers' Alliance, is hurrying
toward anarchy. It is patriotic to try
to check them in their thoughtlews
course and to try to preserve the countrv
from a great danger. The whole country is
menaced by the wild schemes that are being
agitated, and patriotic men of both parties
should join bands to stop the frenzy."
Mr. Wade says he thinks Harrison will be re
nominated and that the republicans will be vie- <
torious in 1802, in spite of the injury that 1
been done them by men within the party.
THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION RILL. I
It ia Seat to Conference?Mr. MeOmaaa*
Views aa to the Probable Result.
The House this morning sent the District ap
propriation bill to conference, Messrs. Mct'omaa,
Clements and Morrow bemg the House con
ferees. Mr. McComas to a Stab reporter said
that he could not Judge how much time would
be required in conference, but ha looked for
an early report.
Likewise Mr. McComas was retioent as to an
opinion of the clauses of the water main and
zoological amendments remaining in the re
port and passing the House. "Speaking per
sonally, however," said ha. "I have always
been in favor of the Zoological Park being en
tirely paid for by the government, and 1 hare
not changed my views on the matter."
MR. McCOMAV EXPECTATIONS.
He Kamn Mstklag sf
Appointment Bald to Have Been Mad* 1
Among the names of republican Congress
teen who hare been mentioned in various way*
for appointment ander the gorerament at the
end of their terms in March Is Mr. MeComas

spoken at for several pod Hons In the District,
among them being that of ctril service com
missioner to succeed Mr. Lyman and the dis
trict attorneyship, rendered vacant by Judge
Hoge's resignation. Mr. McComas said to a
Stab reporter, however, that he had not ap
plied for or been offered any position. He in
tended to remain hare until the 4th of March
and attend styctly to his work ia Congress.
After that, so far as ha was able to my, ha
should retire to private life and by the practice
