Herbert, of Alabama, and Belmont, of jew York, calling upon the President to detine the position of this government with relation to the Congo conference is the result of @ feeling among gome of the leading members of tae House that ‘the part we are taking ia thatconierence Is likely to greatly embarrass usin the future.

The Senate. ‘The chair laid before the Senate a letter from the Secretary of War, transmitting a petition of the West Point cadets who may be graduated in 1885, Praying for such legislation as may secure for them appointments in the amy on ther graduation. It Was referred to the committeee on military affairs, ‘THE OKLAUOMA SETTLERS, Among petitions presented was one by Mr. Plumb from the Oklahoma settlers, who set forth that the land they occupy had been long since bought from the Indians by the United States and paid for; that the United States did not expect or intend that In- dians should again occupy the land, and the pett- Uoners therefore saw no reason why they should not be allowed to remain in the homes they had es- tablished for themselves and families. ‘They protest against the cruelty of their removal, and say that they would not have been disturbed but for the great influence of wealth and powerful cattle owners, Who do not themselves pretend to have any ttle’ to the lands, but who use the land for grazing cattle. ‘The petitioners add that they have gone to Okla- homa to stay, with their plows and axes, and that thousands of thetr friends expect to go there, and pray Congress to withdraw the mliitary forces, apd instead, to take early steps to 01 tory of Oklahoma into a state. Jn presenting tue petition, Mr. Plumb sald that although these setticrs may’ be guilty of a techni- cal violation of law, as the law Was interpreted by the Attorney General, yet Congress had already sald that the lands in question should not be again ecupied by Indiaus, abd it seemed to him that the Une had come when Congress should say “yea” or “nay” on the question of the occupaney of those lands by white settlers He hoped the committee on Indian affairs would act on the subject at the eurllest opportunity. Mr. Dawe sald the committee had already ex- amined tie subject, and reported that in the pre Sent condition of the title to the lands they could not be opened to settiement, and that the Senate had adopted that report.

AN INVENTOR ASKS FOR AN INCREASE OF CLERICAL FOKCE OF THE PATENT OFFICE. An Indiana inventor, in a petition presented to the Senate on Monday, asks that the clerical force of the Patent office be increased; stating that he has an application on file fora patent, and is in- formed that it will be impossible to reach his case before the middie of the summer, This delay, he claims, will result in the loss of consid- money to him.

Notwithstanding the attitude of tne House con- ferees on the naval appropriation bill, the Senate conferees helieve that the former will yet accept the bill passed by the Senate on the sith ult,, after the House had adjourned. —Oue of the Senaté com- mittee on appropriations says it 18 a great to have the nary without money. Said he: “Sup- pose a vessel of the American navy wants coal some foreign port, Say ina Spanish port, and has not the money to pay forit. Now what sort of im- reasion do you suppose the inability of our navy pay for what it Wants creates among the people ofa foreign nation? ‘They either suppose that this government 1s too poor to provide its navy with funds or else that there is some Internal political contest golng on here Which threatens the existence of our government.” NOTES. It begins to look as if the land grant forfeiture bills may get Crowded out again, a3 at the last ses- sion, by the press of other business. ‘Te documents and correspondence sent to the Senate by the Interior department, relating to leases of Indian lands, is such a huge mass that it Will Tequire “the Indian committee soune time to reat : The Leased Indian Lands.

H i i i i i HE t i I i if ij THE INAUGURATION, Preparing the Pension Building the Ball—The Committee on Decora- tions Organized—Notes from Hicad- quarters, ‘The canvas which is to comprise the temporary Toot of the new Pension building is now being sewn by sailmakers at the navy yard. This will de stretched overa steel cable, Which will serve as ridge pole. The steel cable is considered pretera- bie to rope, as the latter would be subject to con- ‘traction and expansion by moisture. If the root Were put on in dry weather and a rain storm came j up the rope might snap and the roof would col- lape. It is expected to-day to begin the prelim- inary work at the new Pension bullding so that everything will be in readiness to stretch the cable when It arrives from New York. Several members of the committee on bullaing visited the new structure to-day. For a distance of about fifty yards around the building to-day the mud 1s ankle Geep. Inside the large hall the mud is Just as deep, except in places where paths have been made by the workmen. ‘The ground is covered with the Utter of construction. ‘To anyone but an enthus- fastic and tle committeeman it would seem lke an almost Fopeiess ‘task to attempt to prepare ‘he Duilding for the ball, but the members of the committee expect to make marvelous changes in the building during the next month. THE MONUMENT AND THE INAUGURATION. “There 13 a suggestion made by some ladies,” ‘said Secretary Clagett to @ Stan reporter to-day. “As it 1s copyrighted, I will tell tt to you. The proposition 1s to have the Washington monument Unvelled. It would require a sheet of canvas 560 feet long and 200 feet wide to vell the monument. It 18 proPowd to have holes like eyelet holes run Uirough i, and have tt corded up around the monument in way that when @ suring is pulled the whole overing Woull fall and expose the monument to view. After that the canvas can be rolled up and tsken to the Pension building. It will be just te Proper size to spread over the top of the bullding.”” ‘A CLEVELAND BELL J. Regester & Sons, of the Baltimore bell foundry, has written a letter to the inauguration commituee suggesting that a large bell mounted upon a wagon to ring out the giad tidings after Mr. Cleve. laud has taken the oath of office and precede the procession from the Capitol. “With this end in.

Atuanr, N. ¥., Jauary 7.—The senatorial contest has narrowed down to Mr. Evarts and Mr. Morton. The last two nights’ conferences settle that fact. It also makes it reasonably certain that some of President Arthur's friends, who worked hard for Air.

MR. JAMES D, WARREN For EVARTS. Before leaving Albany Mr. James D. Warren agreed to lend his support to the Evarts men.

DONALD ON CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Not Entirely in Favor of the Present Law, but Thinks Cleveland Will En- force It. Carcaso, January 7.—Ex-Senator MeDonald is in ‘the city, and to an Jnter-Ocean reporter spoke freely on civil service reform and kindred topics. Mr. McDonald said he would not have voted forthe civil service law, owing to a variety of reasons, one being Its undue principle of perpetuity in office, to ‘which he objected, believing it not accogding’ to the Scan of our lustitutions, and going Back too much to British models; but having such a law upon the statute books, he believed it to be the duty of the President to enforce it. This duty, Mr. McDonald belteved, he would certainiy perform. Mr. McDonald regarded the President-elect's recent letter on this subject a8 a fair and clear exposition of Mr. Cleveland's intentions. He did not think that Mr., Cleveland was @ man given to, doubie- dealing, ér that he intended that anything shouid be rex to cases of vio lent partisans in office, Mr. McDonaid sald he be- lleved Mr. Cleveland would in decided cases un- doubiediy exerciss whatever powers of removal be has under the law, and leave the Senate to act in the matter as it Should please. Faithful public cfileers, str. McDonald iit, would be retatued undl thelr terms expired.
