Dani Gama: '
Congress has made most creditable progress
thepast several days. The Senate has con-
sumedmost of the week in the consideration
of the Chinese Bill. It became evident early
in the debate that the friends of the extreme
measures incorporated into the bill were in a
majority, and that ' '
“rm: Cnrxnsn MUST no! "
Able and exhaurtive speeches were made by
different senators, both for and‘ against the
bill. New ‘England was practically solid
against it, and the clearest and most logical
and most damaging speech of any in oppo-
sition, was made by our Senator Platt of
Connecticut. He proved-from the record
that this bill was in spirit and letter in viola-
tion of the solemn obligations of the Bur-
lingame treaty, and that its enactment would
east the stain of dishonor upon us as a great
nation. Senator Hoar remarked in our hear-
ing that it was the clearest and most exhaust-
ive presentation of the case made by any
senator. This was certainly high praise, be-
cause the Massachusetts senator is not only
a competent judge of a sound argument, but
he had himself made an elaborate speech on
the same side and subject. Senator Edmonds,
although on the committe reporting the bill,
said Mr. Platt’s speech was one of conspicu-
ous ability and comprised all that could be
said on that side of the issue, and that our
senator had stated his points with clearness,
‘ force and convincing power. The Pacific
slope senators, one and all, conceded that it
was the most damaging argument made againt
their bill, and regretfully acknowledged its
great ability. Like all of Senator Platt's
efforts, it was a calm and clear statement of
what was just, fair, honorable and right, and
no attempt at gush, oratorical display of
himself or his rhetoric, and therein is the
explanation of its convincing force.
Senator Haweley made a less elaborate but
an earnest, impassioned and eloquent protest
against the bill, it nevertheless was passed
by the unexpectedly large vote of 29 to 15.
rm; ALCOHOLIC LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
The bill fora commission on the, subject
of the alcohol liquor traffic was considered
in the Senate yesterday and finally passed
by a vote of 34 to .14.
The bill provides for the‘ appointment by
the President and confirmation by the Senate
of a commission of seven persons, not more
than {four of whom shall be of the same
political party,nor,bo advocates of prohibition
to hold office not exceeding two years, who
shall investigate the alcoholic liquor traffic
its relation to revenue and taxation, and its
general economy, criminal, moral and scien-
tific aspects in {connection with pauperism,
crime, social vice, the public health and
general welfare; and who shall inquire as to
the practical results of license and prohibtory
legislation. The commissioners are to serve
without salary, and to report within eighteen
months after‘ the passage of the act. An
appropriation of $10,000 is made for their
expenses.
The House on Thursday passed the Agri-
cultural appropriation bill. This makes sev-
en of the regular annual appropriation bills
that have already passed the House and
which shows an unusually rapid advance
and gives reasonable hope of an early ad-
journment.

THE rnsospnxos or nine IN ran SENATE.
Tne protracted 'struggle for precedence of
consideration for pending measures, in which
the respective merits of the Tariff COmmls-
sion bill and ‘ the Japanese indemnity fund
and presidential count matters were detailed
at length, occupied the, consideration of the
Senate yesterday. A charge by Mr. Beck
that the protaetlonists were seeking to delay
cction on the tariff and that journals owned
by them had made open avowals to this ef-
fact, was met by counter charges. Our
Senator Hawley asserting that the free trade
programme was to prevent any change, in
order that the conditions of‘the present tariff
might remain available as material for politi-
cal argument. _
EXPlZDl’i'lNG PENSIONS.
Senator Pratt, who is a member of the
Pension Committee, recently introduced a
motion cnrlolying a request to the House
Pension Committee to appoint a sub com-
mittee to act with a similar Senate Com
mittee, to consult with the commissioner of
Pensions, the Surgeon General and Adjutant
General, and ascertain the most feasible
means of expediting the examination, settle-
ment and payment of pensions. The Senate
sub-committee consists of Messrs. Teller,
chairman, Plait and Jackson. The House
committee consists of chairman of its Pension
committee, Mr. Marsh, and two others. To-
day the first meeting was held at‘ the Pension
office and the views of Commissioner Dudly,
the Surgeon and Adjutant Generals, 2d and
3d auditors of the Treasury and of the Con-
gressional Committee, were interchanged.
The result of the conference, was an agree
ment on the part of the Commission and
officers of the War Department, to send to
Congress the coming week‘,.such a schedule
of clerical increase in their respective depart-
ments as will enable the Commissioner to
adjust all claims within the next three years
and a statement as to the amount of money
needful to carry out this rapid "completion of
the present enormous gorge of pension
business. The soldiers of the country will
not fail to give Senator Platt the credit due
him, for originating and setting on foot this
most just and meritorious measure, while
the tens of thousands of disabled and desti-
tute pension claimants, (whose applications
have been ‘for months and years deferred
because of the Pension offices inability to do
the work crowded upon it) will bless him
with their gratitude. Senator Platt believes
that Congress will, before it adjourns, make
the needed appropriations for the additional
clerks and the money required to complete
and pay every pension claimant, justly enti-
tled, within the next thirtyasix months.
JEWISH runsxcorron‘s IN nussu.
Mr. Belford, of Colorado, has introduced a
resolution in the House reciting the miseries
inflicted upon the Jews in Russia, declaring
that the people of the United States protest
against the spirit of persecution revived in
liussia, asserting that the Hebrews are loyal
citizens and subjects, and requesting the
President to submit to his Imperial Majesty,
the Czar, the friendly assurances of the peo-
ple of the United Statsund to request him
to exercise his power for the sake of humani-
ty to protect his Jewish subjects from the
violence of his enemies.

0 REPORT on 'rna rLoons.
Captain J. M. Lee, of the ninth infantry,
who was sent to Memphis by General Beck-
with to inquire into the condition of the
overflowed districts, has reported by telen
graph to the Secretary of War that all the
counties of Mississippi, from the state line
below Memphis to Vicksburg, on the river,
and ten counties immediately hack of them
are wholly or partially submeiged. The
water coming through the broken levees
fiows back againlinto the Mississippi through
the channel of the Yazoo. The lowest esti-
mate places the number of the destitute at
18,000, but there are overflowed counties
from which no reports have yet been receiv-
ed. From Tunica county down to Green-
ville a large number of people are living on
the levees. Captain Lee thinks that the
destitute must be subsisted for at least thirty
days, and that 860,000 rations will be requir-
ed. The rations should coflst of meat and
cornmeal.
TAXES orr.
' It is understood that the sub-committee of
the House Committee on Ways and Means
have virtually agreed upon a bill reducing the
Internal Revenue tax on whiskey and tobac-
co, and removing the tax entirely from a
number of articles embraced in schedule
“A.” The totalamount of reduction in the
Internal Revenue to be effected by the hill is
estimated at about $70,000,000. The bill
will probably be reported to the full commit-
tea next Tue day. It will take off the tax on
checks,matches, perfumeries and proprietary
medicines. Nothing has kept the average
democratic congressman awake o'nights, like
the present high tax on whiskey and tobac-
co, and it will not be surprising if as a com-
promise that these two tsxes should be in a
measure reduced. . .
census naronrs.
A false impression is abroad that the vol-
umes of the Census Reports are out and
ready for distribution. One advance copy
only has been sent to each member of the
Senate and House, of No. 1 of the series.
This is unbound, and it will be some months
yet before the volumes can be completed and
in readiness for general distribution.
Drssursracrrou wrrn CHAIRMAN aosnonaus.
Ex-Senator Barnum, 'chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, was at the
Capitol to-day and had a long secret consul-
tation with Congressman Flower, of New
York. It appehrs that certain democratic
leaders are not pleased with the selection of
General Rosecrans as chairman of their con-
gressional committee and are endeavoring to
get up a movement to effect a change in the
interest of a younger and more active man.
Barnum’s interview with Mr. Flower today
is said to have been on that subject.
The Democratic Congressional Committee
is now complete with the exception of five
designations. Early next week the commit-
tee will hold a meeting to elect a new chair-
man and secretary. But what is the use of
such a committee, anyhow ?

son places, where a gang of men commenced
work on Saturday last. The cuttings thus

seemed to indicate, and if this good luck
continues the work ‘will require less ,time

A. L. Austin and Jerry Brooks, the rock
cutting being on the Seymour and Brooks
land. The earth for the embankment for the

Burned to Death.
Our community was horrified on Monday
morning to learn that the venerable Polly M.
Meeker, widow of Silas Meeker, had been
burned to death the evening before at the old
homestead on the Westport road.
She was in the 82d year of her age and
was the mother of two of our well known
business men, Messrs. Silas B. and Aurelius
J. Meeker, and has since the death of her
husband, resided in the old homestead with
her son Silas B.
It seems that she was home alone, her son
and his family having gone to the evening
church services, and at about 8:80 or 8:45.
she, as has been her usual custom, went from
the sitting room to the kitchen with a lighted
Kerosene lamp, intending to‘ place it on a
table near the window so that, it would cast
its light out in the back yard for the benefit
of her son on his return from service. In
some unknown manner the lamp was broken
from her grasp and fell, andthe oil therefrom
spread overgher person and she was, it is sup-
posed, instantly afiame. Mr. Charles W.
Lockwood residing a little one side, but on
the opposite side of the road, hearing a
woman’s scream, went out on his porch and
seeing the flames immediately ran to the
rescue. Whén be got near to the house, he
saw the aged lady on her knees a few feet
outside of the kitchen door, but as he ap-
proached she fell over and was dead when he
reached her. Extinguishing the fire on her
person, he then‘went into the house and put
out the fire which had caught in a rug on
the floor, thus saving the house from taking
fire. -
The sympathies of our people are with the
relatives in this, their sad and fearful bereave-
ment.
Mrs. Meeker was a hale and hearty old
lady, active and energetic and in a few days
would have been 82 years of age, in fact a
gathering of friends and relatives was to have
been held in her house on Friday, of this
week which would have been her birth-day
anniversary.
The numerous friends of Miss Clara Ran-
dle, formerly of Winnipauk, will grieve to
learn that she" is lying dangerously sick at
the residence of her sister Sarah, in Vermont.
Last week Mr. E. C. Bissell and Miss Anna

From latest reports it is probable that she
will not recover.

We are informed that the Adelphi has been

Herald says of it:—
“Photos” shows the works of a man well
acquaintedwith all the tricks of the stage,
and one who knows just what pleases an au-
dience. It is one constant theme of clever
acting, humorous incidents, charming melo-
dy and artistic mimicry, and as presented by
the cleverest of all companies of its kind, the
Harrisons, it is one of the pronounced suc-
ceases of the season. The consummate acting
of Alice and Louis Harrison and their admir-
able company stamping it the brightest ec-
centricity ii has been our fortune to witness.

The Parallel Road.
The Hartford'correspondent of the New
Haven Palladium'says:
There has been considerable talknboht the
‘ house to day regarding th'e alleged standing "
of the committee on railroads on the question
of recommending that the charter be granted
the petrtronars for _a Parallel. The report
will be presented next Tuesday. ' ~
The New Haven Oourisr's Hartford corre-
spondent says it is rumored that the commit-
tee would report in favor bf changes in the
general railroad law which wril do away
with many of the objections made against
it. The correspondent also says there are
many rumors in reference to the problem.
and it is difficult to tell how it will be solv--
ed, “althoughtat the present writing the Con-
solidated road would appear to have the ‘in-
side track.’ ”
The Hartford wrrespondentpf the New
Haven Register goes into the question inde-
tail in the letter printed yesterday. He says
Hon. Lynde Harrison, counsel'for the New
York, New Haven and Hart-ford road, and
Professor Simeon E. Baldwrn, counsel for
the New York‘ and New England road, ap-
peared before the railroad committee Wed-
nesday afternoon in advocacy of a petition
drawn up roughly by Mr. Harrison for
changes in the general railroad law. It pro-
poses ho strike out the provision prohibiting
the bridging of navigable rivers without spec
ral permission from the general assembly,
giving new roads more time to take lands,and
[raking more rigid the provisions regarding
the 3mm of bonds so as to prevent fraudulent
and over issues. The petition proposes to
lengthen the time for taking lands from one
to two years.
The Regr'star’s correspondent says the rail-
road committee had a lively executive session
Wednesday afternoon, and torik a vote wuich
showed that they stood five to four in oppo-
Nothing has stirred up the members so much
this session as the rumored standing of the
committee.
The Regr'ster‘s correspondent gives Senator
Baker as authority for the statement that the
members of the committee are pledged to
keep the secrets of the committee room.
He says he proposes to bring matters to a
point as quickly as possible in order that he
may be free to speak. He says no vote was
taken Wednesday,and there was not even an
informal discussion disclosing the standing
of individual members. It had been said for
several days that the committee stood five to
four, but. the friends of the Parallel confi.
dently trusted that the majority report would
be the other way. A ,
Twenty-five new passenger cars are now
being built at the New York, New Haven
and Hartford our shops in New Haven, and
will be running by the middle of summer.
Two elegant sleeping cars sixty-two feet long
to be provided with all the newest appliances
are also being constructed. They are named
“Boston" and “New York” and are lettered
“New York. Springfield and Boston Sleeping
Car." Six passenger cars are being refitted.
and the sleeping cars “Meriden,” ‘fBridge-
port” and "Portland" are also receiving gen-
eral repairs. A number of engines are being
overhauled and provided with more powerful
machinery. A new freight engine will soon
be commenced. ‘ '
The New HavengPalladr’um thus refers to
those opponents of the consolidated road
who are using personalities in their advocacy
of the new parallel project: '
“To criticise the acts ol a corporation is
one thing, to give currency to mean insinua-
tions regarding the character of an officer of
a corporation is quite another. The one is
legitimate, the other detestable. The New
York. New Haven and Hartford railroads is
a corporation whose acts are not always above
criticism, but its president is a gentleman
whose unimpeachablc character ought to pro-
tect him from the slightest suspicion of
wrong doing. We have no patience with
those who. impure improper motives to
President George H. Watrous. They are
either wilful slanderers or they do not know
the man.”
