TU liillr In Senate and Hons. n I Im. porlant IliiKlneiift In th VarU out Iepartment., Washington'. Feb. .1. In the senate today among the bills reported and placed on the ealander was one increas-ing tho pension of General Custer's widow to tUOO per month. lngalls rising to make a personal statement, said he had been absent li't'iu uie sessions oi me senate oonng the past two weeks iu which interval action had been taken on tho cloture and on the election bill. His attitude, ou both these questions had been a subject of comment and cen-sure and of animadversion. On the day of his departure after the consultation w ith Allison on w horn he had been accustomed to lean, he had left with Casey (who had charge of the pairs of absentees) a note saying: "1 should vote against the proposed change of rules aud should vote for the motion to proceed to the consideration of any other than the election bill, anil 1 am paired accordingly with Senator Allison, who is at liberty to vote." lie had been opposed, he said, unal-terably opposed, to the adoption of the the cloture for many reasons Bullicient and satisfactory to himself. There were those present who know that many months ago, while occupying the chair in the absence of the he resisted many urgent importunities and many strenuous solicitations to operate in that direction by methods which he then and now believed revolutionary and subversive of the fundamental principles of constitutional government, lie had not since seen any occasion to change or modify his convictions. He was now and always has been in favor of a just and impartial election law, directed alike against force and fraud, and applicable equally to all parts of the nation. The measure under consideration, however, did not, in many of its details, re-ceive the sanction of his judgment. It appeared to him to be comhroiis, complicated, obscure in many of its provjsions and difficult of application. It subordinated judicial to political con-trol and opened tin? treasury to indefi-nite expenditure, without requisite sup-ervision and in violation, in his judg-ment, of the spirit, if not of the letter of the provision of the constitution thnt declared that no money shall be drawn out of the treasury except in conse-quence of appropriations made by law. In order to guard against, the enact-ment of such a measure into a law in his absence and without amendments which he n ganled essential to prevent dangers not less distinct than those which it was intended to obviate, he had reserved the right to vote in his absence with those republicans who favored the consideration of other im-portant measures unless those modifica-tions were made. He had no arrangement, agreement, or understanding, express or implied, direct or indirect. remote or contingent, to have his vote counted against Ihe passage of the election bill, lie had been a republican since the party was born and had voted without variable-ness or shadow turning "for every re-publican candidate." During that period he had never espoused the cause, which he believed to he wrong, because it was popular, and had never refused to advocate the cause which he believed to bo right be-cause it was unpopular. Allison deemed it due himself to say that on every occasion when he had an opportunity, he had stated distinctly that he had no pair with lngalls on votes respecting the election bill. The conference report was presented and agreed to on the bill setting a) art for settlement a portion of the Fort Ellis military reservation in Montana. The pension appropriation bill was taken up.

SLAVE TKADE AND I.lOIOR TRAFFIC. A Meiange Uexardine 'he Agreement Signed at Druttelt Last July. Washington, Feb. 5. 'Ihe senate, in exeevtive session, authorized the publication of a message sent to the senate by the president last week, rela-tive to the African slave trade and liq-uor traffic. The president's message is dated January 2!Uh, and is a letter transmitted with a view to ratification of the general act signed at Urussels July 2d last by the plenipotentiaries of the United States and other powers. The act is signed by the representatives of eighteen nations.incliiding the presi-dent'o- f the I'nitcd States, nearly all the European sovereigns, and tho shah of Persia, sultan of Turkey and sultan of Zanzibar. Its provisions are very stringent and contemplate the practical exclusion of tire-arm- s ami spiritous liquors from equatorial Africa, as well as the abolition of the slave trade.

The revolution, ary spirit smouldering throughout Spain nearly burst into a flame in this city today. There was a peaceful dem-onstration in which there was a parado and speeches in favor of the republican leader, I)on Nicolas Salmeron Alfonso. The crowds became somewhat excited. This seems to have alarmed the officer in charge of tho mounted gen d'armes detailed to maintain order. He lost his head and ordered the gen d'armes to charge the crowd. They did so at a gallop, firing pistols and carbines right aud left. The result was that several" persons were more or less dangerously wounded. This deep, ly enraged tho people but the crowd! dispersed without any open act of retal iation. It is understood the govern, ment will be asked to order an inquiry into the conduct of the oflicer in charge of the gen d' armcs. Salmeron's friends claim that ta bullet marks around tho window from which he was speaking show the gen d' armes tried to shoot hira. 1'iiinpiE Conductors, Hr tike in en and Switchmen of the Canadian Pacific Want More Fay.

Boise Crrr, Ida., Feb. 5. Special to Tun Times. Appearances today on the Claggett move to elect another sen-ator to displace Dubois, are that it is dead.

Coiii.dk Down from III. lll.h Altitude. Bf.umn, Feb. 5. Speeial to Thk Times. As has been announced the emperor of China, the government has been informed by telegraph, today granted an audience to all foreign rep-resentatives, and has by imperial de-cree eipressod his intention to make henceforth their reception an annual affair. This sudden change of front in he imperial politics of the celestial em-pire is almost incomprehensible. It is supposed that the son of the moon and the father of the stars finds seclusion no longer profitable and accordingly he condescends to mingle with ordinary men, not on equal terms, for that would be impossible, but upon a much lower plane than that of the divinity to which it has always been his custom to rigidly adhere. SIR JOHN SEVERELY REPRIMANDED. Tha Promtar Ilrlrrn to Dr.prrate Mean-lira- , to fav. Ilia (tovernm.nu Ottawa, Ont., F'cb. 5.

The paper excuses the premier on account 'if the desperate means ho is driven to to save his gov-ernment from ignominious defeat when it goes before the country for vindica-tion of its policy next month.

ANNUAL BLACKMAIL OF $500,000. That I. th Amount of th Subtldlei Paid th Canadian I'aolito. , New Yokk, F'eb. 5. A local paper says the startling fact that the Canadian Pacific railway is exacting a "subsidy" of 4500,000 a year from the American transcontinental railroads, in consider- - ation of keeping out bt California bus)- - J ; y ness, will probably b brought to th v i front at Washington shortly in dqbata - bn the proposed legislation bostit to the Dominion roads. The western traffic association will consider the mat-ter too. The subsidy was agreed upon just before that organization was formed. Jt is on very much the sama principle as payments popularly recog-- 1 nied as "blackmail," which the Paciha mail steamship line sfjeczes out of the same roads in consideration. of its not cutting rates to Pacific points. These payments aggregate about $700,000 a year. It will be seen that the transcon-tinental lines pay altogether $1,200,000 annually to their competitors. Another Hall Uima for Ho.ton.

Tho free coinage republican senators have decided that they will not press the amendment offered yesterday to the pension appropriation bill by Senator Stewart, in tho shape of a free coinage provision. The reason for this decision is the fear that sentimental considerations may cause the loss of votes in cases where senators and representatives have a strong soldier constituency. It is probable that an effort will be made to attach a free coinage rider to some other general appropriation bill, where tho same factors would not enter into tho matter. LEPROSY IN WISCONSIN.
