From the Philadelphia Times, 21st. “When we started :from the -Girard college grounds at 4:15 Monday afternoon,” sald Signal Service OMicer Hammond, in relating his expe- ences on his first balloon ascent with Aeronaut Klug, “I confess I felt just a little bit nervous. ‘This soon wore oif,liowever,for the professor's cool- ness Inspired one with similar confidence. We rose almost perpendicularly and very rapidly from the college grounds. Wien we reached an alu- tude of about half a mile we were caught in a northeasterly current and carried swiftly over the ity into New Jersey, in the direction of Mount Holly. We gradually rose to a helght of and then found ourselves over Some. extensive woods. The darkness was rapidly overtaking us, ‘So Prof. King Judged it would be better to descend without attempting to reach a lofter altitude, as we had intended doing. “We therefore descended on a little vill Manahawken, avout t our and a balf miles froin the extreme end of Bar- hegat beach. It was five ininutes after seven o'clock when we touched land. Our objeet in mak- lag the trip was to obtain the changes of tempera- ture at different elevations, It has been stated that the temperature varies one degree in 300 feet of altitude, but yesterday it changed one degree in 380 feet. When we left Girard college the ther- ometer stood at 23 FE org When We reached Ur ulghest point of 5,890 fect it had gone down to 9 e also made note of our vetocttyy,with tue reguit that In three minutes we rose 1, Teet, Or 1.4 of an inch of the baromeirical change. That is at the rate of 400 feet a minute. I found another thing, that we were. so higit at 6,800 fect that we could not hear an echo, and that at an elevation of two-thirds of a mile We could distincly hear a volce. It was not very cold. We were very warmly clad, but Idid not even need to button my coat. ‘The distance traversed was abqut eighty miles, and we did itintwo hours and fifty minutes. It Was iny first balloon trip, and I enjoyed it thor Snisbaetes willagers ho rer surprised Bea sian vil who were measure at our sudden descent upon them from the skies. This was Prot.

THE INDIAN BILL IN THE HOUSE. ee The Senate, Mr. Frye, from the committee on commerce, re- ported favorably the bill recently introduced by hummself for the encouragement of the American merchant marine, and to promote postal and com- me rclal relations with foreign countries, ‘The Dill was placed on the calendar. ‘THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. Mr. Manderson, from the committee on printing, Teported favorably the concurrent resolution pro- viding that the Congressional record should be an accurate transcript of the actual proceedings and Uebaces of the two houses. ‘The resolution was placed on the calendar. THE OKLAHOMA RESOLUTIONS of Mr. Plumb and Mr. Vest were placed betore the Senate. Mr. Vest withdrew his resolution. In doing 80 he took occasion to say that there could be no doubt whatever that as the laws stood the Oklahoma lands were not at this time subject to settlement by white peopte. ‘The President there- fore was unuble to do otherwise than as he had jone. Mr. Vest explained the condition of the Oklahoma question, and said he was astonished to see that statements had been made at the other end of the Capitol to the effect_that the President, in his ac- tion in this matter, was violating the law. Noth- ing could be further from the fact. ‘The President ‘Was compelled to execute the law, and the law was clearly and unquestionably against permittin white settlers to go on to these lands. Mr. Vest believed it inevitable that the lands would tn time be opened up to such settlers, Dut that time was hot now. He expressed the hope that Co would now take action on the matter, and avert Ploodshed, ‘The remaining rights ot thé Indians to the lands in question should be purchased and pald or, Mr. Dawes hoped that the President, in nis proclamation, would notify the law-abiding ple f the United States who were desirous of on ‘the public lands in accordance with law, that their Tights Would be respected, and that those who Went on such lands in violation of law would not be Pernaltted to violate the authority of the govern- ment Mr. Dawes wished to obviate the shedding of Dlood, Dut the supremacy of the law was the one thing’upon which there could be no possible ques- Uon. It must be maintained at whatever cost. He had observed with regret that a western legisla- ture udvocated the immediate opening, ry che Oklahoma lands, and that elsewhere the President Was charged with violating the law in the course he had pursued. ‘This was simply taking the side Of taw breakers, ‘THE PLUMB RESOLUTION PASSED. After along debate the Senate adopted Mr. Plumb’s resolution calling upon the President for information in fegard to Oklahoma. Mr. Vest’s resolution directing the Secretary of the Interior to communicate with the Indians in relation to a release of the territory went over till to-morrow, EXECUTIVE SESSION ON THE NICARAGUAN TREATY. At 2:15 p. in. the Senate went into executive ses- ‘sion on the Nicaraguan treaty. House of Representatives. Or-motion of Mr. Lanham (Tex.), Senate amend- ments were concurred in to the House bill author- szing the appointment of a commission to run and mark the boundary lines between a portion of the Indian Territory and Texas, in connection with a similar commission to be appointed by the state of Ar. Cobb (Ind.) presented the conference report onthe Oregon ‘Central forfelcure bills and it was to. ‘The House recedes trom its disagree- ment to all the Senate amendments. ‘THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The House then, at 12:20, went into committee of the whole, Mr. Welborn (Tex.) in the chair, on the Tndlan appropriatiol DIL Hl On mouon of Mr. Ellis (La.) an amendment was adopted ee CSI een ot Sebel wo Prepare a appro’ ant claims of citizens on account of Indian ronnie nd to report the same to Congress on the first Monday of next December. THE OPEN LETTER WRITTEN TO ME. ELLIS BY MR. PAINTER, Mr. Rockwell (Mass) brought up the matter of ‘the open letter written to Mr. Ellis by C. C. Painter, charging that the appropriations made for the Montana Indians were insufficient, and criticised the speech made afew days ago by Mr. Ellis de- claring that the statements made therein were false. Mr. Painter was a gentleman of an un- ‘stained record and of an integrity which had never been impeached. He called upon Mr. Ellis to show peer the statements maue in the letter were x Mr. Ellis replied that he had never yet seen the letter, but hi thered his information regarding: it from editorial comment. When pe SROkr, after the previous question had been ordered, it he did hot brand C. C. Painter with falsehood, he would make lim an apology. ‘Mr. Rockwell then read Mr. Painter's letter, and pald a high tribute to the character of that gentle- an. He was an honest ran and2 gentleman, and the aspersions of the gentleman from Louls- jana (Mr. Eills) were not merited. He (Mr. Rock- well) believed that on further consideration of the matter the first man In the House to regret that he had made an attack on an honest man would be the gentleman from Louisiana him: Mr. Chace (i. 1.) suggested that Mr. Ellis would withdraw his remarks; but Mr. Ellis igeimated that when the proper time came he wot inten- sify them. Mr. Chace then spoke in support of an increase in the appropriation for the Indians at the Fort Peck agency. ‘Mr. Maginnis (Montana) attributed the starving condition of the Indians of that agency to the in- sufficiency of the Indian departinent. Mr, Reagan (‘Tex.) said that it had struck him as a curious fact Unat the government could always find a means of appropriating money to feed a lot of lazy and vagabond Indians, but could never find means for Peg She to work. Mr. Hewitt (N. Y.) read a letter which he had re- ceived from Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, who is ow dying on the banks of the Mediterranean, im- ploring his good oftices for the Indians, and asking him to request the President-elect to be deeply ow in the selection of a Commissioner of inden airs, ‘The District in Congress, ‘THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. Follet says he expects to report the District appropriation bill to the House very soon. His absence, on account of the election investigation at Cincinnatt, has rendered tt impossible to dispose of the Dill before, "There will be some little legisla- tion on the bill, but none of special Lmportance. At present the "law of the Distriet is such that property may be sold for taxes; but no tax Utle can be given. ‘This will be corrected. ‘apitol Topics. ‘THE INDIAN LAND LEASES INVESTIGATIO’ Mr. E, B. Townsend, formerly Indian agent at the Sac and Fox agency, Was examined by the Senate committee on Indian affairs to-day. He is at pres- ent a lessee of lands from tne lowa Indians. He denied using his .official position to obtain the lease, but acknowledged that he negotlated for 1t before he resigned his position. Mr. Pickett, the licensed trader at the Iowa Indian agency at the Umne the lease was made, was in partnership with him in leasing the land." He subsequently became Mr. Pickett’s partner in the trading business at the agency. Adjourned till to-morrow. ‘TUE BILL FOR THE RELIEF OF MRS, HUNT. Mr. Miller, of California, from the Senate com- mittee on foreigi. relations, to-day reported favor- ably a resolution to allow Mra Hunt, widow of the late minister to Russla, one years galary of that position, amounting 1 $17,600. It wili be Teferred to the appropriations committee. TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF CHOLERA. ‘The House committee on the public health to-day decided that, by reason of the fate stage of the ses- ‘sion and the crowded condition of the calendars, it ‘would be tipossible to pass, during this Congress, such a bill to protect the pubite health as was re- cently prepared by the delegates from the various state boards of health assembled in convention at Wasitngton. ‘The cominittee, however, decided to recommend the appropriation’ of $25,000 for the na- onal board of health, and to be used at the discretion of the Prasident in preventing the spread of cholera, should it appear in this country before the next Congress.
