The prisoner Was sentenced in each case to six months’ imprisonment, and to pay a fine of $300 and costa. The terms of imprisonment were Inade consecutive, each to begin as soon as the previous one terminated. After Snow had served ont his first term he applied to the third dis- trict court of Utah for discl ‘upon a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that he had com- mitted only one continuous offense, and that the Judgments in two of the cases were vold. The dis- trict court, however, decided that upon his own showing he was not entitled to a discharge and denied bis petition for a writ of habeas corpus. From that decision he has appealed to this court. Presonat.—Senator-elect Farwell of Illinois, J. T. Garrow of Canada, E. H. Cree, A. J. Todd and E. A. Cunningham of New York, W. H.

The publication of a communication trom a chief Of division of the Treasury department to Senator MeMilian to the effect that papers bad been filed there showing that 8.D.Leavitt, recently appointed collector of customs in Maine, had been convicted of the crime of smuggling, led to a thorough search by department Officials for the papers re- ferred to.

Passed in the Senate and an Inquiry Made as to the Fortifications Bill. ——— THE RHODE ISLAND CONTEST. ———————— Occupying the Time of the House pe ‘The Senate. Mr. Charles B, Farwell, Senator-elect from the State of ilnols, escorted by Mr. Cullom, had the oath of office administered to him by the presid- ing officer, and took the seat recently occupied by Mr. Cullom, while the latter took that of the late ‘Senator Logan. Mr. Frye presented the credentials of his ool- league, Mr. Hale, for the full term commencing ‘March’4, 1887. Placed on file. ARMY APPROPRIATION AND THE FORTIFICATIONS BILL. Mr, Allison presented the conference report on the army appropriation bill. He stated that most of the amendments were formal, and that the total amount appropriated in the bill 1s$23,724,7: being $28,398 les than the appropHadon of last ye ear. ‘Mr. Hawley thought this a good opportunity to inquiry of Mr. Allison what had become of the fortification bill of last session, Mr. Allison suggested that Mr. Dawes, chairman of the conference committee on that bill, could ex- plain the matter best. Mr. Dawes said that the conference committee on the fortification bill had held two or three sittings last session and had been unable to agree. Immediately on the assembling of this session the conference committee had been called together and had had several meetings without being able as yet to agree, He was not certain that it would be proper for “him to state what, the differences were. ‘There was some prospect, however, that in spe shape there would be an early agreement. ‘The conierence had been interrupted by the ab- sence of two of the House conferees. ‘The dif ferences seemed to be radical They seemed to be between doing substantially nothing and a propriating five or Six millions to begin the Work. There seemed to bea lack of confidence on the Dart of some of the House conferees in those who would have to execute the law under the existing administration, He thought that if the confer- ence committee could be induced to establish a new bureau for the purpose of executing the law & good deal of the difticulty could be got over. THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL PASSRD. ‘The confereifte report on the army appropria- tion bill was then agreed to. LANDS IN SEVERALTY TO INDIANS. Mr. Dawes, from the conference committee on the bill to provide for the allotment of lands in severalty to Indians on the various reservations, and to extend the protection of the laws of the United States and of the ‘Territories over the In- dians, made a report. Mr. Dolph inquired whether the limit of twenty- five ‘years fixed as the time before which the lands owned by Indians could not be alienated had been reduced, Mr. Dawes replied that it had not been. The time’ limiting the power of alienation had not been reduced. On the contrary the President was authorized to extend the limit'in particular cases. AS soon as the individual Indian took up his allot ment he was to have a patent, which patent would be held by the government for twenty-tive Years, at theend of which time he was to get a patent in tee. After further explanation the conference report was agreed to, AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS. Mr. Morgan was still speaking when the hour of 2 o'clock arrived, and the prealding officer an- pounced the rerular order to be the unfinished business—the bill to establish agricultural ex- perimental stations, THE WOMAN SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT. Mr. Blair moved to lay aside the unfinished bue!- ness and to take-up the’ proposed woman suffrage constivutional amendment.
