unknown BILL IN BALANCE "lie Steering Committee of the Senate Looking After It (ii;NERAL DEFICIENCY BILL No Amendments of Any Importance Were Adopted fropo.-ltlon to Get the Pooling Bill to s Vote F.vcn it a Sunday Session Is to Be Held Washington, Feb. 22.—The Democratic steering committee of the Senate, alter many postponements, held a meeting to** day ami decided to recommend Co the Senate that Senator Hutlcr should be per mitted to move at 3 o'clock tomorrow for the consideration of the pooling bill, that this bill should be continued as the unfinished business until 12 o'olocJc Mon day, and if ItShould not be disopsed of by that time it should give place to other business. The programme was imme diately construed into a decision to hold a Sunday session and this fact was made the most of by those Senators who oppose the bill. I'hc advocates of the bill did not idtnir in many words that their pur pose included a Sunday session, but they toufesst"! tllttt if they should succeed in felting the bill up they would use their ltnio-t endeavors to have it. voted upon •efoiv the; expiration of the time set for .ts consideration, ami as this time would include only about, three hours of the S'lttirdav session and one hour of the Monday session they would necessarily have very limited time for the bill with out either night or a Sunday session. When Senator Butler, who was cha r nian of tiie Interstate Commerce Commit tee, who hits charge of the bill, was asked what his purpose was, as to a Sunday ses sion, he said he did not wont to be quoted a- saying anything that could be con strued into a threat, and be would only say he would use his best endeavors to get the bill before the Senate, and that if he should succeed in that he would con tinue his exertions in its behalf until a rote could be reached. He felt confident of the success of the bill in case a vote COUld be reached, and he believed a clear majority would be shown on the vote for consideration. While Senator Butler would name no figures, it is understood other friends of the bill claim that a llnal vote would show two-thirds of the Senate in favor of it. The opponents concede that if a vote should be taken it would pass, but they are determined in the. declaration that it shall not reach the point when the test of its strength shall be made. The tactics which they will pursue were forsbadowed in Senator Pettigrew's brief speech in the Senate just prior to the adjournment tonight. The feeling is such as to make it clear there will be a very sharp clash when the effort is made to take up the hill, and the indications are for a period of mostdecided paliamentuy sparring against the meas ure, which will probably be led by Sena tor (iorman on the Democratic side and Senator Aldrich and Chandler among the Republicans. IN THE SENATE The Navy Affairs Committee Sends In a Resolution Washington, Feb. -2.—ln the Senate Navy Affairs Committee a resolution was adopted ' y uturiimous vote today recom mending tbe increase In the navy as pro vided Iri the naval appropria'ion bill, now bef re the Senate Committee on Appro priations. The cominitte; agreed to re port an Amendment to the naval bill for an appropriation of 1100,000 for dockyards a' M-ire ts and, and another provid ng that officers of the navy detailed for shore duty shall rec -i .c sea pay while perform ing this duty. Rev. Mr. Milburn opened the session of the Senate today with a fervent and elo quent prayer extolling the public and pri vate virtues of (lebrge Washington, who, he ai , sow d a stead fa t devo ion to the Intli ests of his country, subordinating his private wi-hes and will to the good of the peopl . Sue i a noble example might veil enter into tho charactir of every American boy and exalt our patriotism, making our n tional Institutions the safe guard of all social, religious and | rlvatJ institutions. Quay presented ft memorial from the Manufacturers' Club of Philadelphia strongly urging that the cause of the financial distress was the assault on tho American protective system, anil indig nantly protesting against the course of the President in borrowing money from a foreign syndicate. The memorial closed with an earnest appeal to Senators and members to so adjust the tariff duties as to overcome the distress of the Treasury. The House provision that the Secretary of the Interior reduco expenditures for contract schools 20 per cent annually, so that at the end of live years such expendi tures shall cease, was struck out, but the appropriation is reduced 20 per cent from last year's expenditures. Whm the executive bill comes before the Senate a motion will bo made to strike out the provision for the Utah Commission. It is claimed that as Utah will become a state in the fall, with full powers, the commission should be abol ished. The commission will continue un til July 1. Himator Mills has given notice of the tallowing amendment to the sundry civil •ppropriation bill: "And all laws which ■ uthoritse the Secretary of the Treasury to ell bonds for any purpose are hereby re pealed. " There were numerous objections, and linong them one from Mr. Pettigrew which was emphasized by the brief but pointed statement he made. It was in the nature of a disclosure that ii private agreement had been reached among the Senators whereby the pooling bill will be taken up at 3 o'clook tomor. row afternoon and held before the Senate all night and over Sunday until passed. The statement came so unexpectedly tine) was the sequel to such active work -uroii ;hout the day by tho friends of the pooling bill that it created something of a sensation among the Senators and spec tators. Mr. Pettigrcw added to this an nouncement that he would take effective steps to defeat the passage of the pooling bill by objecting to the disposal of the Indian appropriation bill or other meas-' lives having precedence. The contract school item of the Indian bill was com pleted in such form as to provide a 20 per cent reduction from the expenditures ot last year. Mr. Morgan of Alabama spoke throughout the afternoon in favor of a judicial system for the Indian Territory, but his amendment to that effect was finally ruled out of order. Two House bills were passed amending the articles of regulation of the navy. A spirited contest arose over the construction of the bridge over the Delaware River at Phila delphia. It was linally agreed to take a vote on the question tomorrow noon. Mr. (iorman secured unanimous con sent that unobjected cases on tho calendar should be taken up at night sessions next Tuesday. The Indian appropriation bill wan then taken up. The pending amendment was that of Mr. Pettlgrew, of South Dakota, that of the $1,104,3f>0 appropriated for industrial and day schools for Indians $715,000 shall be used for contract schools, and that 20 per cent of the latter shall be used in purchasing such contract schools as may be offered for sale. A vote was taken on the amendment of the Appropriation Committee, striking out the House provision that the Secre tary of the Interior should reduce the ex penditures 20 per cent annually, so that at the end of live years the entire expend iture for sectarian Indian schools shall be at an end. The committee amendment was sustained —yeas, 41; nays, 23. The cffe tof tliis was to do away with the House provision for the gradual aban donment of the contract schools during thi' next live years. The Petti grew amendment was defeated —yeas, 13; nays, 3(1. Lodge withdrew his amendment offered last night, fixing three years as the limit for the abandoning of the contract s hools instead of rive years. With the changes made, the provision for Indian schools makes a reduction of 20 per cent from the expenditures last year, but leaves future Congresses to make such further reductions as they see fit. Morgan offered an amendment for the establishment of United States courts in the Indian Territory. He spoke of the barbarous condition of affairs among the live civilized tribes, where an armed ven detta existed. Perry urged that a territorial form of government was the best remedy for the evils existing in the Indian country. Train robbery, lawlessness of all kinds and the absorption of Indian lands by a few persons constituted the main abuses. The discussion of conditions in the In dian Territory lasted through the after noon. Mills made a point, of order against Morgan's amendment on the ground it was new legislation and being submitted to the Senate the amendment was de clared not in order. Call, in charge of the Indian bill, sought to have a time fixed for a final vote. There were objections. "If this bill does not pass today or early tomorrow," said Call, "then some of the remaining large appropriation bills will surely fail." At this point Pettlgrew, Republican of South Dakota, came forward with a most emphatic objection. "It is understood," said he, "that a plan is on foot to get this bill out of the way and then to take up the pooling bill at 3 o'clock tomorrow ami sit it out even over Sunday. 1 want to say here and now distinctly that the plan will not suc ceed if I can prevent it. And what is more the pooling bill cannot become a law if I can do anything to prevent it, especially it cannot he passed on Sun day." Pettlgrew make his statement with the evident consciousness that the Senate rules permitted the opposition of one man to be very effective. this, anil the other objections, prevented any time being lixed for completing the Indian bill. Call was willing to lix it at any time be fore adjournment, but Chandler objected and then, at 5:16, the Senate went into executive session and ten minutes later adjourned. THE DEFICIENCY BILL The Home Hears Some Objections from Mr. Breckinridge Washingotn, Feb. 22.—When the speaker called the House to Order at 11 o'clock, less than fifty members were present. On motion of Mr. Bynum the Senate joint resolution was adopted extending to Mexico the thanks of Congress for the high honors paid Isaac P. Gray, late United States Minister. Martin of Indians, chairman of the Committee on invalid Pensions, asked unanimous consent to extend the evening sessions tonight (for considering private pension bills) to 12 o'clock. Jones of Virginia objected, After a debate, in which the propriety of the Government taking a hand in suppressing railroad strikes was disc ussed, the motion to strikeout the appropriation for the pay of marshals was withdrawn. The House then into Committee of tho Whole and resumed consideration of the general deficency appropriation bill. When the paragraph relating to the eleventh census was reached Mr. Hepburn wanted to know when the reports of the last, census were to be published. Five years had elapsed, he said, and yet but two of the twenty-six volumes had reached the public. Mr. Breckinridge, in charge of the bill, replied that all tho material would be in the hands of the printer by March Ist, and the volume would be published there after as rapidly as possible. Mr. Livingston, Democrat of Georgia, moved to strike out the appropriation of $121),tlOO for United States marshals fees. It precipitated some discussion. Mr. Boatner criticized the appropria tion on the ground that no specific claims of these had been furnished. Mr. Cameron, Republican of Illinois, defended the appropriation. A large por tion of the sum was to pay deputy mar shal) who were in Chicago on the occa sion of the riots there a year ago. The amount of these fees could only be estim ated, for, he said, vouchers were not transmitted to the Department of Justice until they were paid. On motion of Mr. Boatner a prnvi sion was added to the paragraph requiring the Attorney-Genera! to report to Congress a list of the persons to whom this money should be paid and the amounts paid each. Gradually the discussion drifted into the question of the Government taking v hand in the suppression of the strike. Mr. Breckinridge expressed his appre hension that the doors were opening too wide when great corporations were allowed to go into the courts and secure protec tion for their property at great expense to the Government. Henderson, Republican, of lowa, in an eloquent response, called attention to the resolution passed by Congress after the Piesident had sent troops to Chicago commending his action. The Govern ment, said he, must afford protection to interstate commerce and must enforce the mandates of the courts. "I am glad," said he, "to live in a LOS AT-TG-ELES HEEALD: SATURDAY MOROTN'G, FEBBTTABY 23, 1895. country where the'executivo met his duty, as Mr. Cleveland did, manfully and cour ageously, and where Congress with one voice endorsed his action. "The storm tins now blown over," he continued, "and the men who took their lives in their hands, who responded to the call of the law and helped to execute it, should have their pay. Most of them are poor. Now, when the trouble is passed, can we afford to haggle and growl about paying them their due? Shame upon Congress if it fails to do its duty." Mr. Livingston argued that it was not a question of refusing to pay the honest ob ligations, of tho -Government, but it claimed that much of this appropriation would illegally go to deputy marshals who were illegally engaged in protecting pri vate property which should have been protected at the expense of the city of Chicago. Mr. Livingston finally withdrew his mo tion to strike out the appropriation. Mr. Livingston offered an amendment to pay C. B. Payne, Charles Morgan, N. 0. Mordccai and the Southern Steamship Company $2910 for mail services rendered some time ago. The amendment went over temporarily, as did one offered hy Mr. Tracey, Democrat of New York, to pay the employees of the House and Sen ate an extra month's pay. An amendment to pay the widow of Thomas McCoy of St. Paul, the late Con sul General at Liberia, $2000, was agreed to. Mr. Terry, Democrat of Arkansas, of fered an amendment to pay Jason Black burn of Little Rock, Ark., a member of the Fortieth Congress from Louisiana, $17,700, the balance of salary due him. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole (Mr. Tarsney) ruled the amend ment out of order. Without oomple ing the consideration of the bill the committee rose. A bill was passed to amend an act granting a right of way through the In dian Territory to the Kansus and Gulf Railway Company-: also, on motion of Tracy, the Senate bill to postpone the time for the enforcement of the new regu lations tn prevent collisions at sea. At fi o'clock the House took a recess until 8 o'clock, the night session to be de voted to the consideration of private pen sion bills. Story of Admiral Beardslee Condemning Repair Work Denied Washington) Feb. 22.—1t is positively denied at the Navy Department that any report has been received from Admiral Beardslee, commanding the Pacific sta tion and now at Honolulu, condemning the character of tbe work at Mare island navy yard, or that Secretary Herbert has ordered an investigation of the affairs at tin' navy yard.

The amend ment for payment of the first class claims carries an appropriation of $238,289 and is as follows: That there shall be paid by the Secre tary of the Treasury to those producers and nianuracturers of sugar in the United States from maple sap, beets, sorghum or raw sugar cane grown in the United States, who complied with the provisions of the bounty laws as contained in the schedules of the tariff act of 1800, a bounty of two cents a pound on all sugar testing not less than ninety degrees by the polariscope and one anil three-quarter cents per pound on all sugars testing less than ninety and not more than eighty de grees, manufactured and produced by them previous to the 28th of August, 1804, and upon which no bounty has previously been paid. The provision for the payment of a part of last year's bounty is that there shall be paid to those producers who complied with tbe McKinley bounty law by filing application for license and the bonds re quired prior to July 1, 1395, and who would have been entitled to receive a license bounty of 8-10ths of a cent a pound on sugars actually manufactured and pro duced in the United States, testing not less than HO degrees, during the period of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1805, com prised in the period commencing August 28, 1894, aud ending June 80, 1896, and for this purpose tf),000,000 is appropriated.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue is empowered to make regulations for the payment of the bounty and to employ two revenue agents, in addition to those al ready employed, for the transaction of the business. LANDED IN PRISON Bold Roy Bandits Brought Up With a Round Turn San Francisco, Feb. 22. —A. gang of boy pirates, after operating with singular boldness and remarkable success for the past 18 months has been rounded up and the quartette landed in prison. The en tire outfit, comprising a sloop and row boat, a wagon and team, with a large quantity of provisions, was captured. Captain Wilcox, known as tbe "King ol tbe Pirates," is an experienced sailor and piloted tbe craft across the bay on stormy nights, which best suited the piratical operations. The gang boldly sailed up to tbe wharf, and under cover of darkness, stole anything they could And on the wharves or on vessels discharging cargo. Provisions were preferred, as most easily sold. All the plunder was taken to the Alameda side and unloaded on tbe San Leandro bay, where a warehouse was lo cated for the storage of the stolen goods, subsequently sold from door to door at prices far below the market rates. So bold were the pirates that they continued their depredations on a wholesale order, and their low prices were explained on the pretense of a cut in provisions by whole sale houses. Their capture was the result of incautiously offering a large consign ment of Hour at one-third the market quotation. The women solicited ordered the Hour delivered on the following day, meanwhile notifying the police. Kvidence against the thieves is so direct that com mitment to the penitentiary is considered inevitable. A CHINESE COMBINE Wealthy Pagans Will Lease and Operate the Bidwell Rancho San Francisco, Feb. 22.—A syndicate of wealthy Chinese of this city, composed of members of the Six Companies, has se cured a lease of the fruit ranch owned by General John C. Bid well, the Chico millionaire. Bidwell's orchard was for many years the most ex tensive in the state and still ranks second, containing between 4000 ami nOOO acres planted in deciduous fruits. Nor has tbe syndicate stopped at the one place. Sev eral large orchards in the northern fruit belt, comprising the districts about Maryiville. Vina, Willows, Red Bluff and Oroville, aggregating several thousand acres, have been secured at rentals from $1000 to $5000 a year. The past two seasons have been so unprofit able to orchardists that they are glad to lease to Chinese, who are able to hire coolies at half the wages a white man would be obliged to pay them and can thus afford to pay big rentals. A local cannery, owned ami op erated by Chinese, will handle the prod ucts of these leased ranches. In the orchards white laborers will be unable to obtain employment, and serious labor troubles are feared during the coming sea son.
