TO RENT. APPLV TO W3ST A BAUNETT, BROADWAY Frye's Resolution to Retaliate on Canada Passes the Senate Without Dissent, Attempts to Amend the General Pension Bill Rejected The Urgent Deficiency Bill Passed by the Housa A Long Talk on Education The Study of Narcotics and Alcoholism. Washington, May 18. Alter the routine business bad been disposed of in the Senate yesterday Mr. Frya called up the House Shipping bill passed February 1 last abol-Islilug the foes for measuring tonnage, for Issuing licenses, registry certificates and a great variety of other fees.

The having been read Mr. Frye moved to 1ld to it as a new section the provisions of the bill recently reported by im from the Committee on Commerce, authorizing tho President to issue a proclamation whenever ho might deem proper denying to vessels of foreign countries such privileges as were denied In such foreign countries to vessels of the United States. This is the provision authorizing retaliation for the recent action of the Dominion of Canada in excludiug United States vessels from certain privileges In Canadian ports, but the provision of Mr, Frye's bill Is not confined to Canada, but Is made general so as to apply to all foreign countries. After some inquiry by Mr. Mcrherson and Mr.

Vest, and a reply by Mr. Frye, the amendment was agreed to without debate. The bill as amended by the Senate was then passed, and on motion of Mr. Frye, a ommittee of conrereuce was orciereu ontne disagreeing of the two bouses upon the bill. The Chair appointed as the Conference Committee Messrs.

Miller, Dolph and Vest, Mr. Frye having announced that ho was obliged to be absent from the Senate for an Indefinite time. Proceeding to tbe calendar, tho Senate passed the following measures: A bill au thorizing juries ot tne unuea states and District Courts to be used interchangeably; a joint resolution authorizing the Treasury Department to audit and pay a claim of the Kansas City, Fort Scott Gulf railroad for currying the mails; a bill to au thorize the State of California to take lands, in lieu of sections 16 and 30, found to be mineral lan ls. At two o'clock the Pension bill was laid before tho Senate, tho pending amendment tteim? that heretofore offered by Mr. Van Wyck, providing that no soldier under this ict should receive less than 8 per month.

Mr. Blair moved to amend the amend ment by substituting for 8. Mr Van Wyck said injustice had been lone by the methods of the Pension Oilico weighing aud etilimatini! the amount of (lensiim that should be paid under acts fix- ug maximum sums aim not minimum in Ills providing tor me payment oi pensions wording to the proportion of disability. Under such bills pensioners got such ridicu- oualy small sums as If 1 ir per month. I'bo Pension Oilice had not been to blame the matter because Congress had made he law and set the example, and the reli gion Oilice had no doubt measured tho disa- lility as well as it could.

Mr. Plumb said that at the proper time he would move the following amendment the amendment of Mr. Van Wyck: 'This rate, as applied to tho least disability for which any noldier shall be pensioned under this act, shall turuish a basis on which all pensions hereunder or under any other law shall be adjusted and paid hereafter, saving only pensions for what are Known as specific disabilities. In suDPort of tins aniondment Sir. numb said he thought the proper course would be to take the least aisanimy ana make mat the basis of all others.

Mr, Logan moved an amendment provid ing that all pensions hereafter granled under any previous act to any soldier itiould where less than 5fs a mouth Dad been allowed, be Increased to 88 a month and uo less amount should be allowed to any pensioner being a soldier, under this or my previous acts, tie was utterly opposed to pensions of SI, $2. S3 aud a month. If a nian was entitled to a pension at all, lie was entitled to mora than that. The first question being taken on Mr. Blair's amendment to Mr, Van Wyok's amendment, It was rejected 18 to sa, Tho Question then recurred ou Mr.

Lo gnu's amendment to the amendment of Mr. Van Wyck. Mr. Cocluell was opposed to the amendment It would add, he thought, SlO.OUO.OOl) a year to the pension list would establish great inequalities as be tween pensioners. Mr.

Logan hoped the Republican party would never forget the services of the vo uu- teer soldiers fur the sake of any desire to ac- cumulate money, mountain high, in the treasury, Mr. Logan's amendment to the amendment of Mr. Van Wyck was rejected; yeas 23, nays 27. Mr. Blair moved, as a substitute for the pending amendment, a proviso that no pen sion hereafter to be paid under any law to my soldier should ba rated at less than 4 a month.

Mr. ritler submitted an amendment to be pv pos 'd by him at tho proper time, providing for a pension of $8 a month to eacb surviving soldier of the Mexican war. Without further action the Senate went into executive sesslou. and when the doors roopened adjourned. HOUSE.

When the House met yesterday, on motion Mr. Lanhnm, of Texas, a bill was passed for the erection of a public huildiug at Kl l'aso, at a cost ot Under tho call of States the following bills were Introduced: By Mr. O'Neill, ot Missouri, to grant leave of absence to employes In the United States navy yards; by Mr. Little, of Ohio, to provide for the covering into the treasury of specific Items of appropriations when the President should be satisfied that such appropriations were detrimental to the publit interests; by Mr. Hewitt, of New Yoik, a resolution calling upon the heads of the executive departments for a full and complete schedule of all trust funds In their custody, from whom and when received, to whom duo, where held, the amount thereof, tho amount of the unexpended balance on the Geneva award available for the payment of tho judgments of the court of commissioners of Alabama claims, and all other unexpended balances in the custody of their departments; the estimated amount required for the repayment to Importers of excess of customs duos, and any and all claims of whatevei nature, estimated or ascertained, which may within tho lineal year become liabilities against tho Treasury of the United (states, Tho Ilousa then went Into Committee ol the WhoJa on the Urgout Defloloncy bill, back to his normal condition.

Every consumer in Wellington and Sumntr county has been benefitted by the "flour war" for even home loving millers and merchants of a like character can be very pathetic when monopoly of trade gives them chance to make big profits.

Competi tion. however, always stirs up their Ire but as buyers are benefitted by the fight we do not care for the kicks ef an interested few. It is amusing to note the fatherly affection some deal er have for the "dear people" and it is all the more laughable to see them advise those "dear people" what best for them, as if our entire popula tion was made up of little children.

APPLY TO I3ARNETT, debt of those roads. Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, explained at some length the reason of the committee for reporting the Funding bill and then the motion to suspend the rules and adopt the resolution was agreed to without division. On motiou of Mr. O'Donneil of Michigan, from the Committee on Education, the rules were suspended and the House passed yeas, 203; nays, 8 the Senate bill to provide for the study of the nature of alcoholio drinks and narcotics and of their effects upon the human system, in connection with the several divisions of the subject of phy siology and hygiene by the pupils in the public schools of the Territories and of the District of Columbia and In the military and naval academies and Indian aud colored scliools In the Territories of the United States.

Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri, from the Committee on Labor, moved to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution setting apart June 3 and subsequent days for the con sideration of business presented by that committee. He stated that the bills which will be called up were those prohibiting the employment ot alien and convict labor on wonts, to protect servants and me chanics in their wages and other like measures. The Educational bill, Mr. O'Neill contin ued, would not be called up under this order.

This statement had the effect of arous ing the antagonism of some of the friends of that measure, and this antagonism was hard ly appeased when Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, speaking as a frieud of the bill, said that as a matter of fair play to tho Labor Committee a day should be given to the consideration of its bills. Ho would trust to the generos ity of that committee to give the House an opportunity in due ime to consider the Ed ucational bill. Mr. O'Neill thought that It was unfaii and nngenerous in men who pretended to lie friends of the Educational bill, which lad been referred to a committee to which it did not belong, to put their legs around the neck of that committee and throttle every thing else unless the Educational bill was called up.

Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, was op posed to making labor the accessory to carry the Educational bill through. The ay for which the Labor Committee asked thould be confined to the consideration oi matters that related to the laboring In terests. Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, energetically af firmed that the Education bill had uot had fair play and he had never before seen lireat measure throttled hy such mi warrant ibiu means as had been resorted to iu ordei to throttle that bill.

Mr. O'Neill remarked: "The geutleman does not apply that to our Mr. Dunn answered: "1 npnly it to those who have goverued this "And," broke iu Mr. Morrison, tapping himself upon the shoulder, "whatever re sponsibility attaches to me I toko." Laugh ter. Mr.

vowies, of Carolina, expressed his sorrow that notwithstanding the declar ations of National aud State Democratic eouventions, he should find himself among so few who were willing openly to champl on the cause or public education. Mr. Morrison suggested that the gentleman forgot what party he was in. The educational piank had been in the Repub lican platform, jot in the Democratic. Mr.

Dunn opposed the resolution on account of what lie considered an unfair dis crimination against tho Educational bill. t'lio opponents of that measure were afraid to let the House vote upon It, The most remarkable and extraordinary fortifications had been erected against it. had found among his file of reports a report of the bill extending the bonded whisky period. That was the same old bill that had been kicked Ignominlously out of the Uouse during two or three Congresses. Some gentlemen seemed willing to vote millions for whisky.

but not one dollar for education. Laughter. That was not his platform. The motion to suspend the rules and adopt the resolution was agreed to yeas iuo nays is, and tne uouse adjourned. EXILES OF OHIO.
