Not ChUbch Regalia.?Assistant Secretary
Spaulding has denied an application for the
free entry as church regalia of certain manu

ments intended for the chapel of the convent

ticles were classified as manufactures of silk
dutiable at the rate of 60 per cent ad valorem.
Landing Certificate.?Assistant Secretary
Spaulding has informed the Secretary of State,
in response to a question raised by the United
States consul at Paso del Norte in regard to
landing certifiates for merchandise ostensibly
consigned to one person but consisting of lots
destined for final delivery by him to va
rious persons, that in the opinion of the Treas
ury Department a holder at the foreign port of
the bill of lading issued to him by the common
carrier may be considered as the consignee
within the contemplation of the statute, and
that a landing certificate executed by such con
signee is sufficient.
THE TAOAMT SECUKTARYSHIP.
Gossip at tlx Department?The Nam* to
Be Probably Sent In Tuesday.
The gossips uptown around the Treasury De
partment are scanning every sign that promises
to reveal the identity of the successor to Sec
retary Windom, but they are making little or
uo headway against the mystery. They all
have the name of Foster on their lips, as he
seems to be the most likely man in light. Hie
alleged conference between him and the Presi
dent in New York yesterday has been effectually
disposed of by Gov. Foster's denial.
The President is certainly the last man to
talk polities with any one, even privately, on
such an occasion as that of yesterday. It is
undoubtedly true that the President and Got.
Foster met and talked, but not of political mat
ters. Got. Foster is close to the President.
Their relations are intimato and it is the most
natural thing in the world that, being together
is New York, they should come together.
It mar be remembered that we President
positively refused to speak of the matter of
Mr. Windom's successor until after the funeral,
and it is quite likely that he will wait until this
sad week, ??"*?* by the burial of Porter and
Sherman, has passed before making public hie
?election.
He cannot very well make the nomination on
Monday, which will be obeerved aa a holiday on
account of the birthday of George Washington,
and it ia generally expected that the eeeret of
hia choice will be revealed very early nest
week, probably Tueeday.
IN CONGRESS TODAY
The Nicaraguan Canal Bill Discussed
in the Senate.
MORE FILIBUSTERING TACTICS TODAY.
Democrats in the House Leave the
Chamber in a Body.
A REED AND McMILLAN TILT.
SE>ATK.
On motion of Mr. Davis the Senate, after the
transaction of routine morning business, pro
ceeded to the consideration of pension bill* un
objected to.
There were 190 pension bills passed in the
spaoe of forty-five minutes. Among them was
one giving a pension of a month to the
widow of F?ar Admiral Steedman, one increas
ing the pension ot Brigadier Ueneral Laudruni
of Kentucky to ?50. one increasing the jh usioii
of a widow of a soldi, r of tlie war of 1812 and
one giving a pension of f 12 a month to Mary
Morgan'Edson of Vermont, si* of whose sons
had served in the Union army in the war of the
rebellion. All these were House bills.
THE NICARAGUA CANAL KILL.
The Senate then proceeded to the considera
tion of the Nicaragua canal bill, giving the
guarantee of the United States government to
the company's 4 per cent bonds to the amount
of *100.000.000.
The bill having be^n read in full. Mr. Ed
munds said that in the necessary absence of the
chairman of the committee on toreign relations
(Mr. Sherman I it wa.- hi < duty to take charge
of the bill for the time being, 'lhe subject was
not a new one. The natural importance of hav
ing the kind of inter-st in the Nicaragua canal
which the bill provided for had been fully dis
cussed in the Senate two or three years ago.
Besides, the report of the committee was so
full and complete and condensed that he did not
fcehcalled upon at this time U> taac up the time
of the Senate in again going over the grounds
stated in the report -especially in view of the
very complete and able observations of the
Senator from Alabama v,Mr. Morgan; some
day ago.
MR. VF.ST OPPOSES THE BILL.
Mr. Vest, in opposing the bill, disclaimed any
hostility to the Nicaragua canal project, al
though he had favored t apt. tads' Tehuantepec
ship railroad project. He took no part in the
cheap attacks upen Great Britain and
remarked that, while aggrandizing ten
dencies of Great Britain might lie
denounced, it should be remembered that the
United States had the same characteristic com
ing from hereditary and social peculiarities.
At the risk of being misconstrued he asserted
that no greater calamity could come upon the
world than a war between the United States
and Great Britain. It would destroy com
merce on every ocean and would involve coun
tries in antagonisms, difficulties and losses of
life fand property which no intelligent man
would ever wish to provoke. It was. therefore,
of importance that in considering the pending
bill the relations between Great Britain and the
United States in regard to inter-oceanic com
munication across tlie isthmus should be con
sidered. It was easy enough to denounce the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, and he joined in that
denunciation, for he never couid understand
why the United States should go into partner
ship with Great Brituin in the management and
control of a line of transit between the two
oceans.
HE AOBEED WITH DOCOLAS8.
In this connection Mr. Vest read from a pam
phlet giving Mr. Stephen A. Douglass" views,
and said that there was now no difference of
opinion between intelligent man in the United
Su.tes us to the impropriety of Mr. Clayton's
ever having made the treaty of 1830. But the
question was not as to whether it should have
been made or not. The question before the
Senate now was as to the attitude of Great
Britain in relation to that treaty and as to
what would be the result of the
United States, assuming the.treaty not to
be in existence, and without any conference
whatever with Great Britain, proceeding to
legislate as if that treaty had never been made.
If Senators would place themselves in the posi
tion of officers of the British government they
would appreciate what he said when he de
clared that the question wa* a most important
one to the people of the United States. In the
face of the qusetion which he was consider
ing it did not matter as to public opinion
in the United States, except as to whether the
American people would justify a w.tr with
Great Britain in order to pass the pending bill.
It Great Britain assumed that the < layton
Bulwer treaty was in existence (and the Senate
had no intimation that it did not I. then it w as
fair to assume that the government of Great
Britain would act as the government of the
United States would act under similar circum
stances, and if Great Britain should, in spite of
the Clayton-Buiwer treaty, undertake to build
a canal across the isthmus without the consent
of the United States, the Senators had no
right to assume in the light of history and
login that the people of Great Britain
were not as jealous of their national honor
as the people of the United States were. On
the contrary, the government of Great Britain
was the most tenacious of all governments of
national and individual rights. Whatever
might be said of British propensity to
aggrandizement, conquest and commercial and
territorial dominion, it had to be conceded that
no government had ever excelled that of Great
Britain in protecting her national honor and
the individual rights of her citizens.
If Great Britain had, at any time, under any
minister, ever conceded that the Clayton
Bulwer treaty had been by any act of' hers
abrogated and was now null and void he
would be glad to have it pointed out to him.
Mr. Morgan (to whom the inquiry was ad
dressed) said that he was not aware that the
question had ever been discussed diplomati
cally and that there had been no occasion for
having it discusaed. If the United States re
mained in its present attitude it would not be
discussed for a hundred years and there would
not be an interoceanic canal for 200 years.
THE HOUSB. '
The exceptional action of the House yester
day in holding two-distinct legislative sessions
on the same calendar day gave rise to some
confusion this morning as to what journal
should be read. A brief debate arose, during
which Mr. Springer (111.) remarked that this
proceeding was .in line with.the unprecedented
character of this session.
The Speaker?The language of the gentleman

been of the same unprecedented character.
The journal of last night's proceedings was

Mr. Or.non replied that he wouM answer

tions already made on the democratic side. uii

(Mr. McMiliin i. the republicans accepted notice
that the gentlemen on the democratic aide did
not desire to facilitate business. He w,.tild
make a few remarks and then demand the pre
vious question.
Mr. McMiliin inquired whether it *u the
gentleman's purpose to attack him and his mo
tive* and then to move the previous question
and cut off debate.
Mr. Cannon disclaimed having made an at
tack upon :?n> l*>dy.
Mr. Mt-Millin miJ that this was a propositi.*)
to increr.se the salaries of judge* while the ap
propriation bills were still pending.
Mr. Cannon replied that it wis a proposition
to put the court aud tlie salary bills into con
ference if the majority wished so to do.
Mr. McMiliin responded ihst the gentleman
had announced his program and had said that
after talking a few moiucrts he would shut of!
debate. If that was the program to he pur
sued the democrats would mart it at every
point. (Democratic api<l.iuse.|

THkkE mSl'Tia TO rtET HIS RILE OFT.
Mr. Cannon said that he would yield the gen
tleman from Tennessee three minute*. He
wanted the gentleman to have an opportunity
to get all tlie bile off his stomach.
Mr. G. 11 Taylor Why is the gentleman from
Tennessee ?o excited?
Mr. McMiliin Because I see you propose to
plunder the treasury. [Democratic applause
and jeers from the republican side.]
Mr. Blount ^Oa. 1 moved to recommit the res
olution v.itb taste actions to report it back after
the landing appropriation bills shall have
passed.
Mr. Cannon?The gentleman does not de
ceive even himself by that pi o|Hisition.
Mr. Blount?'ihe gentleman does not try to
deceive anybody.
Tlie democrat^ demanded a division on Mr.
Blount's motion, and in order to save time the
republicans called for and. on a standing vote,
ordered the veas and nuvs.
Mr. McMiliin naked for tellers ou the yeas
and nays, and strenuously objected to the
Speaker ? refusal to entertain his demand.
THE DEMOCRATS LEAVE THE HOt'SE.
The clerk proceeded to call the roll and (fol
lowing the precedent set last session I the great
body of the democrats arose aud left (he hall. The
vote resulted yens. 12: nays, 150--the clerk
noting a sufficient number to constitute a
quoi um. aud tlie motiO'i was lost.
The question then recurred on the demand
for tlie previous qucs'ion. and having de
manded the yeas aud nays, Mr. McMiliin. by a
signal of his hand, directed the democrats who
were iu the cloak rooms to come forward^ to his
support. Having obeyitl the sigual long enough
to accomplish Mr. McMillin's object, the dem
ocrats once more disappeared.
THE Kt1.ES HAVE BEES CHANGED.
The vote having been concluded Mr. If cMiilm
demanded its recapitulation.
This demand the Speaker declined to enter
tain on the ground that it was for the purpose
of delay.
Mr. McMiliin retorted that it was a delay
that hud never been denied by any predecessor
of the present Speaker.
I'recisely. answered the Speaker, but the
rules have been changed.
IS HE A CANDIDATE?
Mr. Cleveland's Frteads Doubt the Story of
His Withdrawal.
The statement published today that Mr.
Cleveland has decided that he will not accept
the nomination of his party for the presidency
and that he will soon write a letter has caused
something of a sensation.
It is understood that a eery distinguished
democratic Senator is authority for the state
ment. This Senator has stated that Mr. Cleve
land told him that he would not again be a
andidate.
It is not known that this Senator has seen Mr.
Cleveland lately, and it is likely tliat their con
versation occurred some time ago. It is re
garded as likely also that the Senator gave too
broad an interpretation to Mr. Cleveland's as
sertion.
Ihe report does not come from sources par
ticularly friendly to Mr. Cleveland, and, of
course, the anti-Cleveland men seize upon the
story with great eagerness. Mr. Clevelsnd's
closest friends in Congress, however, know
nothing of any purpose on his part to decline
the nomination, and do not believe the story.
HIS LLTTEB TO MR. TRACEY.
Mr. Tracer of New York had a personal letter
from Mr. Cleveland within four days. No ref
erence is made in it to any purpose on the part
of the writer to withdraw from the field of
presidential possibilities, though the character
of the letter gives opportunity for such an
avowal were it iu his mind.
On that subject he says merely that if a ma
jority of his party are opposetl to hi?n be is
standing in no one's way. This may indicate
an indifference as to the result, but it certainly
gives no indication of a purpose to place him
self out of the reach of his party if they want to
nominate him.
MR. TRACE! DOES SOT BELIEVE THE HTORT.
Mr. Tracer would be very apt to know as
soon as any one of such a purpose on the part
of Mr. Cleveland. He said to a Stab reporter
today that, while be did not know positively
that' the story was not true, he did
not believe it. He said he did
not think that Mr. Cleveland was at all eager
for the nomination, but felt positive that he
would not decline the nomination if offered to
him.
Sometime ago, Mr. Tracey said. Mr. Cleve
land had an idea of taking himself out of the field
of choice, but his friends pointed out tc him
that his duty would be to obey the commands
of his party and be had agreed not to withdraw
his name, but let the future shape itself.
It is well known by Mr. Cleveland's friends
that he will not seek the nomination: that be
will not trim his opinions from time to time to
catch the prevailing breeze, but they do not
think he can withdraw his name from among
those from which the candidate must be chosen
in W.
war CLEVELAND nocu BR A CAVDIDATR.
There is a very particular reason pointed out
why Mr. Cleveland should be a candidate if he
is in earnest in his fear of the result of fres
coinage, as he undoubtedly is. It is argued
that to any one who looks well into the matter
without prejudice that Mr. Cleveland can
easily get the nomination.
It is almost as apparent that bo other man
who is openly opposed to the free coinage of
silver could get it While many democrats in
certain sections may disagree with him oa this
question, the whole party is in accord with
him. and he is their leader in the tariff fight.
If Mr. Cleveland declined now it would
probeblv result in the nomination of a fres
coinage inan. This consideration would seat
to put his declination oat of the qaestaon.
