Washington, Dec. 23. The Benate
yesterday resumed its norninl appear
nnce after the obsequies of tho previous
day, but thero was a significant scanti
ness of attendance and an obvious dis
position to bring about an early ad
journment.
The vice president laid before tho sen
ate a communication from tho acting
secretary of war transmitting a report of
the chief engineers in response to a reso
lution of tho senate, adopted at this ses
sion, inquiring what Btepa had been
taken by the war department to carry
out the provisions of tho last river and
harbor bill relating to obstmctions in
navigable waters of the United States
and what further legislation, if any, was
necessary. The acting secretaiy of war
concurred with the chief of engineers
that the law had not been in force a suffi
cient length of timo to ascertain its prac
tical effect on what further legislation
would be necessary to secure its enforce
ment. Mr. Manderson presented a memorial
from the Minnesota commaudery of the
Loyal Legion calling attention to the de
fenceless condition of the cities and har
bors on tho seaboard and expressing the
opinion "that while the new war vessels
thus far constructed and authorized by
congress are a credit to the American
people, it is a sense of this commandery
that a navy sufficient in shins and arma
ment to commend and enforce the re
spect duo to the flag of this nation the
world over should be completed at the
earnest possiDio moment.
Clerk Kerr, of the house, announced
tho passage by that body of the concur

A number of bills were then intro
duced. A report of the assistant clerk of the
court of claims being laid before the
senate giving findings of facts and
figures in some additional French spolia
tion cases, precipitated a brief debate on
these claims. Mr. Cockrell wanted the
report referred to the committee on
claims and not to the committee on ap
propriations. After discussion tho re
port was referred to the committee on
claims to investigate and report instead
of tho committee on aDiironriations.
Senator Stanford took the oath and his
seat as senator, re-elected by the state of
California, and immediately afterwards
presented a heavy batch of pills.
On motion of Mr. Allison the senate
took up and passed the house concur
rent resolutions to pay employes their

sion. At the expiration of ten minutes

Toledo. Dec. 23. Tho recent disaster
in th Lake Shore yards in this city, in
which ten persons were cooked to death,
is the causo of a bitter war between the
Lake Shore and the Flint and Peie
Marquette roads.
The ueriMon of the coroner in the rase
of the wreck has not yet been made, but
suits iir,'VH'.'.i(iiig $'35,000 were com
menced Saturday against the two roads
by survivors who were injured. Service
was made upon the Lake Shore Mondav,
but not a Flint & Pere Marnuetto offi
cial or employe could be found in the
state when the sheriff tried to serve
summons on that road yesterday.
It be'-in. that Monday night every
Flint and Pere Marquette ticket seller,
freight or passenger engineer, conductor
or other employe living in Toledo, or
Ohio, was summarily discharged. Not
a soul in tho Mute can be fount! who has
the dligliteat connection with the road.
It lni'! abandoned its vast business inter
ests here and will make its future
terminals Monroe and Detroit.
It turned an average of 20.000 cars of
freight per year over to the Lake Shore
which will now go to the Michigan Cen
tral. This is ostensibly because the
Flint and Pere Marquette would not
sign an agreement for using the Lake
Shore tracks which was declined Jby
President Newell, and on which he in
sisted after the accident occurred. The
roads have been running on a verbal
agreement for twelve years, and tho
great haste of the Pere Marquette peo
ple to leave the state is to save that
road from paying probably $250,000 in
damages to injured passengers and rela
tives of ten dead ones.

Cilicvao, LV ....jima) ub ..
closing day of th" session ui h. Aiu-1 .
can Institute of Sacred Literature a
Farwell hall. The interest of the dv
centered in the address to business inj
by tho Right Rev. Bishop Samuel Fal
lows. Ho said:
"Tho 1-nmes of the business men of to
day were begun centuries ago and wei
among the chief causes that led to th.
ruin of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
Their balances were deceitful and their
measures false; they gained wealth by
defrauding their fellow-men.
"The Mime statements can be applied
to tho great majority of business men
today. They bell adulterated food and
ease their consciences by thinking that
they did not do tho adulterating; they
givo short weights in coal; they uso
marks and In-ands that aro calculated t.
deceive and sell liquors and beveragos
that can not fail to have a deleterious
effect on tho purchasers. It is by the-"
methods that the business man of todn .
acquires money, and it is by these prac
tices that tho whole of. business into
course is made corrupt. It is u
abolish such practices that institutes of
this character are organized and main
tained. "The business man who knowingh
sells an article that is not what it is rep
resented to be, and then goes to church
and prays Sunday, will be along way
from heaven when the judgment dav
arrives. The business men of Chicago
are busy men. and muny of them may
claim that they have not the time to de
vote to the study of the magnitudo of
the evil or to take any steps to stop it.
Every man has the time to do this thin
if he ouly has the disposition. Stud,
your Bible lesson eacli Sabbath and givo
a portion of each day to the htudy of
such principles as will tend to elova'.o
tho mind. If you give one-tenth t
much time to such contemplation as yo..
give to business affairs you will find that
both yourself and the world will bo bet
tered. Our work is to elevate the mcral
of the peoplo and your aid is indispensa
ble to us."
