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.

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 follows: Yeas?Messrs. Allison, Berry, Black- I burn, Blair, Call, Onrev, Casey, Coke, Cullom, Daniel, Dawes.

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, advene to the Fit* amendment and declaring thatfe ]>ropoaed to MCrifle* the inter sets of art Hp alio read from a document issued on the 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, etchers and engraver* of the world bccanse 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. ?a. Daniel's axexdxext befitted. The rote was taken on Mr. Daniel's amend ment, and it was disagreed to? yeas, 17; nays, 37. txs bill passed. The bill finally passed the Senate?yeaa, M; nays, 14. lorn In the absence of the Speaker the Honse pro ceeded to the election of a Speaker pro tern, and Mr. Payson (111.) waa selected for the honor, and waa escorted to the chair by Mi. McKinley of Ohio and Mr. Dockery of Missouri amid the plaudits of both aides of the cham ber. A conference waa ordered on the District of Columbia appropriation bill and on the Military Academy appropriation bill. THE INDIAX APPBOI-BIATION BILL. The House then proceeded to the farther consideration of the Indian appropriation bilL Mr. Perkins (Kan.) asked unanimous consent that the reading of the amendment to carry into effect the allotment agreement with the C<*ur d'Alene and other tribes of Indians be dis pensed with, but Mr. Turner of Kew York ob jected. The reading of the amendment consumed over an hour and a half, and it waa then agreed to. The bill was passed.

The House then went into oommittee of the whole (Mr. Allen of Michigan in the chair) on the Post Office appropriation 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.
