lJIE. CHAKDLEE'S BESOLUTION PASSED..
Eual Officers Xot to be Compelled to Bay Bisk-Priced
iEflUBCt.
A discussion irai entered into by the Sen
ate Yesterday on the subject of reform of the
lobby. A circular from Passed Assistant
Paymaster Cowie, seat to naval officers,
brought in by Mr. Chandler, started the fna
ttnd the dignified Senate enjoyed it for quite
' a while.
"Washihgtoit, December 19. In the
Senate to-day, Mr. Chandler called np the
resolution offered by him some days since, in
regard to organizations among naval officers
to influence Congressional legislation, and
made a statement on the subject. He de
sired, it possible, to protect naval officers
irqm being levied upon and induced or com
pelled to pay money (which they could
poorly spare) for the purpose oFInfluencing
legislation. He said that a year or two ago
Thomas J. Cowie, a passed assistant pay
master in the navy, prepared a
bill for the increase of the
rank and pay of officers of the
navy. It was a very comprehensive bill.
It increased the rant: and pay of all the
officers of the navy. It contained no fea
ture ot economy whatever. There was no
reduction anywhere. It was an increase all
along the line. That bill had not been in
troduced in either House, but it had been
flitting aronnd privately in print In con
nection with that bill, there had been a
movement organized to secure money from
naval officers. That movement had taken
the shape of certain printed circulars.
A LOBBYIST'S CIBCULAB.
One of those circulars Mr. Chandler seat
to the clerk's desk and had read. It was
from Mr. Cowie, and was dated December 2,
1SS9. It stated that Mr. John H. Thomas, o
Illinois, had been engaged as attorney to take
charge or and advocate the passing of a bill
framed by him tor the reorganization and
equalization of the pay of the personnel of the
navy; alid it expressed the hope that all the
officers would respond promptly to Mz. Thomas'
communication.
In connection with this circular one from Mr.
Thomas himself was sent to the Clerk's desk
and read. It is also dated December 2, 1SS9,
and states that he has been requested to act in
the matter; that expenses must necessarily be
Incurred, and the time and labor must be de
voted to the wort; and that his (Mr. Thomas')
acceptance of the proposition depended upon
his sending a retaining fee of $5 and signing a
contract (of which a, form was sent) to pay a
contingent lee ot iv per cent on me increase oi
the pay for one year.
Mr. Chandler added that there were 1,500
naval officers; and that this attempt to get
them into the movement had taken an ex
tremely offensive shape. He submitted to the
Senate that it was an extremely objectionable
and discreditable attempt to influence legisla
tion. He did not believe that Each a contract,
even If entered into, would be legally binding:
but at any rate, it was a contract which would
absolutely paralrze the Committees of Con
gress who would have the bill under considera
tion. A 1TATTEB OF EEGEET.
Mr. Hale supported the resolution. It was, he
Said, a matter of deep regret and of some-mortification
to know that public legislatipn, and
outside efforts in the direction of accomplishing
it, were being hawked about by attorneys in
"Washington. There were a great many men
living In Washington (and bring pretty well!
whoss scource of income was derived from
their supposed influence on legislation, and who
(as the senator from Kansas, Mr. Ingalls, sng
, jested, in an aside) "toil not, neither do they
spin,' because it was a. fact that Senators and
ItepreseotattTes bad such men before them in
their committee rooms. The imposition was
not so much on the Senate and House as on the
persons Interested in the matter. He hoped
that the resolution would be agreed to, and
promised that when the Information was re
ceived, the Ifaval Committee would give the
matter a thorough investigation. .
Mr. HcPherson defended the action of Pay
master Cowie, and said that if that officer bad
discovered a method by which the pay of of
ficers of the nary could be equalized to the sat
isfaction of all the naval officers he should be
regarded as a public benefactor. He aid not
know any particular reason why the matter
should bave been brought before tne Senate
and ventilated. Mr. Cowie had done nothing
more nor less than what hundreds of naval and
aimy officers had been doing for the last 10 or
15 years.
SETTEE ULTE THAK SEVER.
Mr. Butler said that while he had suggested
the other day that the resolution should be re
ferred to the Committee on Naval Affairs, he
had no objection to its being adopted, nor to
the fullest investigation of the whole subject.
He was glad to see the effort of the Senator
from New Hampshire, and of the otner Sena
tors, to reform the lobby; and he only regretted
that such a course bad not been selected 10 or
IS years ago. The country, he thought, would
' bave been a. little better off if it bad been.
The spirit of reform was abroad in the
land political reform, educational reform,
temperance reform; and now there was to be
lobby reform. He supposed that it was better
late than never, but it appeared to him to be a
tempest in a teapot. An officer of the navy,
because be chose (in the exercise of bis right
as a citizen of the United States) to employ
counsel to represent him before Congress, was
denounced as if be had done it very improper
thing; and the attorney, because ho chose to
make a contract with naval officers, was held
np to the country as violating some code of
propriety and rectitude. He thought tbat the
whole performance was unnecessary, and be
-wished that the effort to drive away lobbyists
would be appbed in other directions, as well as
to officers of the army and navy, whose mouths
'Were closed.
CANITOT SEE WHY SOT.
Mr. Butler wonld be the last man to do or to
say anything that would, in the least degree,
impair the efficiency of the navy or of the
army, or that would encourage combinations of
officers; but be codld see no reason why officers
should not employ counsel whenever they
pleased and pay counsel whatever they pleased.
Mr. Coekrell expressed his astonishment at
, bearing the Senator from South Carolina say
that officers of the army and navy bad their
mouths closed and could not approach Con.
Cress. Congress was lust as open to them as to
any citizen of the United States. Any officer
might send to the Senate or Honse bis petition
through the proper channel. The question was
whether officers bad a right to go into a com
bination, paying a fixed fee in advance, and
agreeing to par a contingent fee.
jkr. Butler Why should not officers do it as
well as any other body of citizens?
'Mr. Coekrell I am satisfied with the Sena
tor's Indorsement of this mode to secure legis
lation. Mr. ButierT repeat my question; why should
not officers do it as well as other citizens'
.Mr. Coekrell The public win answer that
ouestion. 1 do not propose to go into an argu
ment upon it before this body. It answers
itself. I hold in my band a similar circular.
Issued a short time ago, in reference to another
bill to increase the salary of officers; in which
it is stated that the fee is 300 as a retainer,
with a contingent fee of $5,000. and in which
the assessment is spoken of as 142 for one class
and 100 foranother class, tu pay the retaining
tee. Such things, ho declared, were disgrace
to tne army ana navy.
. CAUTIONED TO KEEP COOL,
ilr. Butler If the Senator from Missouri
were not so very much excited
"Mr. Coekrell (impetuously)-: The Senator
Xrom Missouri is never excited. Laughter in
the press gallery.
.Mr. Butler I would like to ask the Senator
why be talks of this as an assessment. I sup
posed that there was some sort of compulsion
about assessments.
' v"-ilmself uses in his confidential circular.
jttr. turner ou promised not to get ex
cited. Mr, Coekrell lam perfectly cooL Laughter.
.After further discussion bySenators Butler,
Coekrell and Call, the resolution was agreed to.
The Senate then went into Executlro ses
sion. After the doors were reopened messages
were received from the Home announcing the
deaths during the recess) of Beprcsentatives
iAird.ofNebrsskajTownsend.of Illinois, and
Cook, OT New York. Resolutions expressive of
the regret of theenate were offered by Sen
ators Manderson. Collom and Erarta, and were
agreed to, and, as a further mark of respect to
the deceased, the Senate adjourned.

OVERCOAT PRICES!
Don't think we're jesting, for we're not Would to
gracious it were a joke, instead of grim reality. A loss
of thousands of dollars isn't any particular fun for any
body, and we're a good deal like the average man in this
respect But what can we do ? To be compelled to store
awaytill next season $100,000 worth of overcoats means
a loss of $5,000 in interest to begin with; it further
means a loss of $2,000 in insurance, an indirect loss in
' storage, and more than all, involves a risk of many more
thousands by reason of damage from storage and a
probability of a change of styles next year. Why take
these unnecessary risks and losses then, when
