21. resolution was reported from the Committee of Foreign Relation by Mr. Turpiu, of Indiana, and agreed to, expressing the high appreciation by the Senate of the distinguished honor accorded by the Mexican government on thti occasion of the obsequies of the late Uuiled Status Minister to Mexico, Mr. Gray, and directing the Secretary of State to forward copies of the resolution to the authorities of Mexico. The credentials of Benj.

I The House Joint resolution foif the suspension of certain features of the law authorizing the transportation of goods through 10 the reel zone of Mexico so the Mexican free zone law exists, was Ireponed by Mr. Coke, of Texas, from the Judiciary Committee uud passed.

A proposition forj an evening session to consider a bill authorizing thu Issue of 57,500,000 of bonds'f or the Increase of the sewer system Of Washington, was antagonized by Mr. Alien, dl and he said thut i seemed to him as though the American become a nation of bond j-aiaers. Everything looked to the issuing of lands. The President wanted bouds, of the Treasury wanted bonds. Perhaps half a dozen propositions to issue bondd hud come from the Kepublicun side uf the chamber and as; many tnore frotn the Democratic side, bqC not one had emanated from a Populist.

Every bond issued by the Secretary ol the Treasury Mr. Allen asserted 'was absolutely null and vjld. The act of Jim. 14, 1875, under which he claimed to issue them had been repealed unjd was a dead letter, and every suuh bond, If legally contested in a court would be held to be void. Mr.

Allen asked whether it WHS possible thai beyonjd the city boundary lines, where the sewers were to be laid, HOIUC tieiiatoralowned property that would be beuefittedL As bis speech had 1 a that there had been left, lof the morning hour HO that theie was time to have a vote on the resolution for a uight session, Mr. Harris, of Tennessejt 1 chairman of the District of Columbia Committee, who had offered the resolution, gave notice he would tit to-day move that, the Senate cake a rttcess till he would move to ike up the newer bond i Mr. George, of And I give notice tlmt I i uiovo to a by substituting the bankruptcy bill." Which motion," said Mr. Harris, will not be iu ordbr." Mr. a of floury land, called up a motion which lib had made yesterday to reconsider the which the conference report on the bill in relation to income tm was agreed to.

On tliis motioq a somewhat lively discussion endued, Mr. Sherman arguing thut, the amendment male the Conference Uomroittee relieving corporations of the requirement, of reporting salaries of employes except where specially called for was made Tor the convenience oi' corporations, and Mr. Chandler, of New sliire, Intimating "was the work of the agents of tin; "Eleven billion" railroad partnerships who were lounpng around ijhu doors of Ihe two chambers seeking to influence lypislu- tlon. i These assertions! were indignantly refuted by Senator? Vest Mo.) and A i (Ilep.y I a members ot the Confcrsnce Committee and finally the motiou to reconsider was, on motion of Mr. Vest, laid on the table, veas 57, nays 10.

I The Senate then JeRumed consideration of the Indian appropriation bill taking it up at page Bit wlirere it had been lelt ofl' yesterday. i When the paragraph iu relation to In- diiin schools was reached the usual, controversy arose. In explanation ot the anienpments reported Mr.Cockrell(Dem-) chairman of the Committee on appropriations, stated that 15 or '20 iichoolR were left out because they were dejnoml- 'national schools. These included tho I i a schools at Ilarupton, and the J.ineoln schools, Irhiladulphia. These he said were Protestant schools--denominational schools.

The committee had taken out everything Protestant and' everything Catholic--separating eternally as far as the Committee could the Church and State. The Protestants bad no right to complain, neither had the 'Catholics. 1 Mr. Ilunton (Deib-, Va.) asserted that the school at Hampton was entirely undenominational. Mr.

Quay Pa.) made a like statement us to the schools at Philadelphia. Mr. Woluott Col.) Inquired whether there was-not a committee on appropriations with intelligence enough and Information cnlough to tell the Hen- attq something about these schools. Mr. Call said these schools were as a kind of half apd half schools, receiving government aid and understood to be under Protestant influences.

Mr. Woleott declared the school should not be classed as denominational because on tho Sabb-ath day some sort of services are held Iniit. Mr. Lodge, Mass.) said the schools In question fit Hampton aud Lincoln were not church schools and it waa unfair to pltfce them In that class. Mr.

Hawley, Conn.) argued that the blue pencil should. have been a against Hampton, which was Iu no sense sectarian, though he would rather, he said, have a Catholic school run by Jesuits than a school with no God in It. Mr. Cockrell, bill came up from the House with i Beveo- Catholic schools, (named iu laws) struck out; the House retained rn the bill two Protestant schools. not believe that just or right.

Wri made a provision in the bill that all schools be maintained (Catholic and Protestant) until provision is made government schools." I Mr. Gallinger concurred In the recommendations of the committee on appropriations except ae to the Ilamp- den school. The question was taken on the men to strike out of the bill the two items for the support and education of Indian pupils at the school at Ilarppton, for $20,000, and Lincoln institute, for The amendment rejected--y 21, naye and the two items were rUalncd iu the bill. At 5.30 Mr. Harris Tenn.) moved that the Senate take a recess till 8 i'.

M. After some filibustering on the part of the opponents of the motion it was Hgreed to--yean nays 12. At the evening session, after a hopeless attempt to get a quorum, tbe Senate adjourned, House.

Mr. MeCreary Ky.) denied that the expressions in President Cleveland's messages of 1836 and 1887 relating to tbo Importance of; telegraphic communication with the Hawaiian Islands were an approval of governmental construction of a cable.

He favored the annexation of the islands und looked upon the building of the CHblo as the first step In that direction.

In the judgment of the entire Pacific coast, said Mr. Herman Ore.) no question equals ID importance this project of a cable to Honolulu. It is not the outgrowth of a mere impulse patriotism, bat of the buEinees necessity of the situation.

the McPbertioii Arson Case Closer Thursday. The McPherson arson case which has been before the Supreme Judicial Court his week was continued yesterday and finished in the afternoon. At O.ilO o'clock bounty Attorney C. A. Bailey began his rgumcut for the government and it was able presentation of the government's ide.

Mr. Bailey in beginning remarked upon he severe penalties for such crimes and pon their duty as jurymen to try the use fairly and not to exercise Ihelr prl- ate judgments nor charity. He then went on to say that it waa charged that Che IHh of October the of tumncr J. Flnson were hurniid. How ame that lire in the stable? You have icard the defense suggest it might been communicated by some fire In he house.

Kven had there been a fire In he house the fact that the wind wus i in tho other direction seems to a possibility of a Bpurk fly- ng in a direction contrary to the i which it must have done to a set that in the barn. Did they believe that that lire came rom the lantern carried by Mr. Emery on the post? It, was un ordinary lantern. It did not overflow. It not easy for a spark to come from a un tern.

Thut road must have been as a i i a to him us a rond which he traveled.

There nothing put in evidence, to be sure, that he hud any unpleasant relations i Mr. Kinson. Hut you don't know what was i In the priHoner'ri breast. The circumstances of this house- old wen; There seems to lave been a through the married life of Mr. und JMrs.

McPherson mon: tliun hue been expressed here. Htie was discouraged i to be i to i Hut his had gont- repented- i to get her buck und slu: hud re- 'used. Could he not feel that some influence at that house was restraining? The Attorney spoke of the confident i of Iho Cook boy and then said that several witnesses had been brought in by thu defense to prove a i i on Ihe 9th of A favorite means cf defense. But it is sometimes a dangerous weapon. The all-important fact remains that the boy, at or a that time, met the prisoner under the circumstances above described.

Mr. Bailey spoke of Hie prisoner's movements in this city on October 3rd. Mr. Grant says he left the hole! about S) o'clock, but be don't know when he I the city. He appears t.o have subse- drifted into places a allure men by i lit! did not leave city at 9 o'clock.

He merely fixes i time so that it will correspond i the rest of Ills testimony. He hasn't i ihe facts. There is no evidence of how long it Look him on the road i be arrives ul Mr. Beau's. Mr.

Ileau's testimony can IK: relied and he states a when lie, was awakened it was about 11 o'clock. was not likely thai McPherson fell asleep, but If he did, that horse didn't fall asleep. He was going as unerringly home as instinct would have taken him. McPhcrsoii that night was goinir for the road. He was goiug deliberately for the Kin son road und when he turned down Into liean's he thought he was on the Kinson roud.

Why did the prisoner drive beyond the Kinson buildings uud then It WHS as a a as life. Don't you suppose if he had left the horse near there, that that horse would have goue unerringly into, Kinson's door yard, and don't you suppose a man bent on such a deed as thia would drive some distance beyond to aeo that no one was coming and that the coast was clear? he was confronted i the fact, when arrested, that he was on the Finson road that He denied at first thitt he was in thut locality. The keg of tpbacco was the clue. It was then that tho prisoner had to admit that be must have been on the roud that night. Circumstances point to the fact that about 12 o'clock McPherson was In the vicinity.

Now, if he was there firing these buildings at 1'2 o'clock, he coulJ not have been out at another point tea miles beyond, as be states, at 1 o'clock. It would be a queer case Indeed, which didn't summon such men ae Charles Goodwin, John White and a host of other eatelhes, to come here In the defence of a prisoner, men who get up in the middle of the night to chase a mure in some pasture, doctors who get up In the middle of the night to call on a patient, comedian, a man who gets hours of the night to drive down to get the address of a man. some of the evidence that Is brought to bet in this case. What time did McPherson get home? He says ic was about two o'clock, but he said he fed all the horses when he got home, and a person would not be likely to feed animals at that unseasonable hour of the night. McPherson did not reach home until later in the morning.

Mr. Bailey said It was reasonable doubt that was to be considered and read a legal definition. In closing he desired to say that It renjalned for them to see that duty was performed, for unless Juries performed their duties faithfully we can have no society, no order, system, but anarchy, riot and ruin. Chief Justice Peters then charged the jury with hh customary soundness aid ability. He said that the alleged offence here Is tho burning of a dwelling In the night time.
