The Secre- tary says that the department has no informa- tion on the subject except ‘newspaper reports of ee SS a aes that the stories have arisen from the highly magnifying power of the visual lens of travelers. EXECUTION OF THE EDMUNDS LAW IN UTAH. Mr. Edmunds, from the judiciary committee, reported the resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Attorney-General for information concerning the execution of the act of 3d March, 1887, in reference to bigamy; also, to report the names of all United States officers who have had any connection with such exe- cution, in what capacity, and what compensa- tion has been claimed or received by them, He explained that the act declared forfeited the property of the church of the Latter Da; Saints; that (as was stated) the judge in Ui had appointed the marshal of that territory re- ceiver of such property; that the marshal had employed as his private and personal counsel in the receivership the district attorney of the United States; that gome of the property had ‘been sold, and a fund opened; that enormous and exhorbitant allowances were demanded for the services of the receiver and his counsel, and that the school board, for whose benefit the property had been forfeited, had been obliged to employ private counsel to resist such demands, THE VACATION OF PATENTS. Mr. Edmunds also, from same committee, made a report on the resolution referred to it ast session as to the power of the Attorney- General to institute judicial proceedings for the vocation of patents. He stated that the Supreme Court had settled the question in the aflirmative and he asked that the committee be discharged from the further consideration of the subject. So ordered. OUR INTERESTS IN THE SAMOAN ISLANDS, Mr. Frye offered a resolution instructing the committee on foreign affairs to inquire into the condition of affairs at the Samoan islands, | as far as the interests and rights of American residents there were affected; the relations of the United States to the islands and her obli- gations under existing treaties; the necessity of maintaining the neutrality or independence of the islands; what steps had been taken in that vegard by the United States government; and what action, if any, was demanded. He gave a resume of recent affairs in the island, particularly as to the course of the Ger- man and English governments, and insisted that the United States were bound to resist the encroachments of those governments. He was responded to by Mr. Gray, who ar- gued that the executive had no power to com- mit the government to action that would mount to war, and that that power resided in Jone, and intimated that Mr. Frye’s vas a piece of “jingoism.” tion was referred to the commit- tee on contingent expenses, THE TARIFF BILL UP AGAIN. At 1 o'clock the Senate resumed consideration of the tariff bill, the pending question being on Mr. Harris’ amendment to reduce the duty on “beams, girders, joists, angles, &c., and all structural shapes of iron or steel” from 1 1-10 cents per pound to 6-10 cents per pourd. The amendment was advocated by Mr. Reagan, but as Mr. McPherson desired to offer some amend- ments at the beginning of the metal schedules, Mr. Harris temporarily withdrew the amend- ment. Mr, McPherson therenpon moved to amend paragraph 130, as to iron in pig, &c., by reduc- ing the rate of daty from 3-10 of a cent per pound to 6a ton. He seid thatthe rate proposed by him was that contained in the House bill; that it was high enough; and that its adoption would al- low further reductions to be raade without any injury to the industry. ‘Mr. Allison approved the amendment, and it was rejected. Yeas, 20; mays, 23, Mr. Plumb voted with the republicans in the neg- ative. Important Nominations.

MONEY IN ELECTIONS, Mr. Holman (Ind) asked for the present consideration of the following resolution: “Whereas it is publicly charged, ig the public press and otherwise, that in general elections of recent years, involving the election of President and Vice-President of the United States and members of Congress, large sums of money have been voluntarily contributed and expended in various ways for the perpose of influencing and ‘controlling such election; and whereas such contributions and expenditures to debase the elective fran- chise, corrupt the ballot-box, and impair the ld and purity of our free institutiqns; there- fore, The committee on judiciary be in- structed to inv. te the said charges. and to inquire what legislation is necessary and proper to suppress such contributions and expendi- tures and to preserve and maintain the free- dom and purity of the elective franchise, with authority to report at any time by bill or other- wise.” MR. DINGLEY’S AMENDMENT. Mr. Dingley (Me.) suggested the insertion of the words ‘and also whether officials of the United States have made contributions to such campaign ‘fund.” ° Mr. Holman—That is entirely covered by the resolution now. Mr. Dingley—Not specifically. It is very im- a for the responsibility of officials of the nited States is greater than that of citizens. The demand for the re order by Mr. Wilkins (Ohio) and Mr. Weaver (Iowa) oper- ated as an objection to the resolution. Mr. Holman then requested its reference to the committee on judiciary. intimating his willingness to accept the amendment suggested by Mr. Dingley. Mr, Wilkins said he would object to the ref- erence, if the amendments were accepted, and the resolution was therefore referred without modification. DISTRICT AFFAIRS. Several bills upon the calendampertaining to the District of Columbia were, at the request of Mr, Hemphill, of South Carolina, recom- mitted to the committee on the District of Co- lumbia, and then, on motion of Mr. Clements, of Georgia, the House went into the commit tee of the whole (Mr. Blount, of Georgia, in the chair) on the District of Columbia appro- priation bi THE HAYTIEN REPUBLIC. The Galena Expected to Sail for Hayti To-Night—The Situation. There are no new developments in regard to the case of the steamer Haytien Republic. Secretary Whitney is still in New York, but is expected to return to Washington this after- to the management of the expedition have been given to Rear Admiral Luce, commanding the | North Alantic squadron.and their execution is all that remains to be done. He is to proceed to Port au Prince and request the release of the steamer Haytien Republic, and if the authori- ties refuse to surrender her to him he is to seize the vessel by force of arms and take it to some neutral territory where she can be re- stored to her owner. It is stated at the Navy department that the Galena is ready for sea with the exception of some equipment stores from Boston, which are expected to reach her to-day. The Yantic will be ready to-morrow or next day, and the Richmond in about ten days, The vessels will sail in the order named. The time of the departure of each will be deter- mined by Rear Admiral Luce, who has full discretion in the matter. It is expected that the Galena will sail to-night or to-morrow. Extra precautions have been taken to guard against yellow fever, and none of the vessels will remain in the vicinity longer than is re- quired to accomplish the purpose of visit. Lieut. Reeder, executi officer of the Galena, paid’ a flying visit to Washington yesterday and spent the day with his family. ‘The U. 8. 8. Ossipee, now fitting out at Norfolk under special orders, will not be ready for sea for three weeks yet. She will hardly be ordered to Hayti, as present compli- cations will probably be adjusted by that time. Naval officials do not anticipate any resistance on the part of the Haytian authorities, and say that either one of the political parties would readily surrender the vessel but for the fear that the other would make capital of it. —_.—-— The St. Louis Ejectment Suit.

The Former’s Friends Will Urge His Claims to be Attorney-General. Special Dispatch to Tuk Evexrxe Sran. Pererspure, Va., Dec. 10.—The fast train from Washington, which reachéd Petersburg late Saturday afternoon, brought from Wash- ington Senator Quay, chairman of the republi- can national committee, and Senators Don Cameron, Farwell, and Plumb. On their ar- rival here they proceeded directly to the resi- dence of ex-Senator Mahone. The utmost se- crecy was maintained as to their presence here. It was thought that they came to confer about the ex-Senator’s wishes in reference to the postmaster-generalship, but it appears that something else important is about to trans- pire. It will be remembered that a few days before the late election addresses signed by D. F. | Houston, chairman, and J. L. MeGone, secre- tary, of the republican state Wise-Houston committee. Gen. V. D. Groner, of Norfolk, elector for that district, and others, were ii sued gle a republicans of V: inia, advising that wing of the party to sup- po rt the Mahone electors, and intimeting that reason of their patriotiem and love of party, in withdrawing their electors, they would be entitled to the results of victory, but promising that the fight would be renewed after the election. The chairman of the Houston-Wise faction has issued a call fora meeting to be held at the Exchai hotel, in Richmond, to-morrow (Tuesday), for the transaction of important business, It has leaked out that a resolution meeting reciting that from being forme: almost overwhelmingly democratic state Virginia was at the late elec- tion lost to the republicans by only a paltry few hundred votes; that the south is entitled to at least one representative in President Harri- son's cabinet; Bhat without wishing to dictate to the President-elect they think that Virginia is entitled to that representative, and expressing what they believe to be_a widespread feeling of the republicans in Virginia, endorse Hon. John 8. Wise for Attorney-General of the United States, This, the friends of the anti-Mahoneites as- sert, is the opening of the fight 2gainst Gen. Mahone. an: A HOT FIGHT FOR SENATOR. Back to the Senate. Special Dispetch to Tee EveNine Stan. Razin, N. C., Dec. 10.—A heated fight for the North Carolina senatorship has unexpect- edly developed, and Senator Ransom is likely to have a close call, if he secures a re-election atall, Ransom’s term expires with the present session of Congress and the legislature will elect his successor in January, He is a can date for re-election, and his friends are vigor- ously pushing his claims, He is being opposed by Col. A. M. Waddell, who made a brilliant canvass of the state as a Cleveland and Thur- man elector, and Ransom’s friends have discov- ered that it won hima larger following than was expected.

Alexander, however, has not entered the field as a candidate, saying he will not try to defeat Ranson, but he says when it becomes plain that Ransom will not be the choice of the majority of the democrats in the legislature he may enter the fight. Ex-Governor Thomas J. Jarvis also has a great number of strong friends, who are doing telling work for him. It is asserted by his ! friends that forty votes are already pledged for him, and twenty-nine, _— to Ransom, are Governor Jarvis is now en route tive state, and is expected before It is not known whether he will enter actively into the race on his return or not. Pe BEVIER RIOTERS TO SURRENDER. The Business Portion of the Town pSwept by an Incendiary Fire. Sr. Lovis, Dec. 10.—Later advices from Bevier, Mo., are to the effect that when Gov- erner Morehouse arrived at Bevier he found the contending factions, the sriking miners | and the new men who have supplanted them, armed to the teeth and refusing to recognize auy authority save the militia. The leaders stated they were not disposed to question the authority of the state, but declned to surrender to the county authorities, Governer More- house therefore called out the militia in order to give the belligerents an opportunity to sur- render arms and thus restore peace. The fire last night was almost disastrous, destroying the eater part of the business portion of Bevier. There ie no doubt that the conflagration is due to incendiary causes, but there is no evidence | upon which anyone can be convicted for the crime. It is understood that the militia, under the direction of Governer Morchouse, will dis- arm both factions and at least temporarily re- store order. oo Lost His Money Playing Poker.

A Chicago Outrage Whose Authors Are Not Yet Known. Cutcaco, Dec. 10.—Shortly after 6 o'clock this morning an attempt was made to destroy Shufeldt & Company's distillery, in the north- ern portion of the city, by means of dynamite, Enough facts are not yet known to justify conclusion as to whether it is the work of anarchists orsome one who has a reonal grievance against the Shufeldts. At the hour mentioned the neighborhood was shaken by @ tremendous explosion, breaking many panes of glass in the surrounding houses, and causing the people to rush in the street in great alarm. Investigation showed that a bomb had been thrown, probably from the street into a de- tached warehouse used for storing hi i * —. This building was shattered and hooks: were burst off many of the casks and the heads were driven in, Very soon afterward a pack- age wrapped in paper was discovered lying in the street. It contained several sticks of dyna- mite and six fuiminating caps. A fuse con- nected with the package showed evidence of having been lighted, but had gone out prema- turely. These articles are now in possession of the police, who are at work on the case. a IS TASCOTT IN THE ARMY? The Latest Clue to the Whereabouts of Millionaire Snell’s Murderer.
