WHAT CONGRESS IS DOING An Uninteresting Day in Both Houses. ‘ THE DAKOTA BILL IN THE HOUSE. ——_-— The Senate. VETOED PENSION BILLS. Meseages from the President, returning with- out his approval bills granting pensions to Frank D. Worcester and Michael Shawn, were presented, read, and referred to the committee on pensions. In the first case the soldier was discharged (after eleven months’ service) for “manifest mental disability,” which had origi- nated prior to enlistment, and the President says there is no claim for a pension in that case, “unless the government is held liable for every disability that may afflict those who served in the Union army.” In the second case the disease of the leg (which necessitated am- putation) was contracted after the soldier had been discharged from the service, and theclaim is described by the President as ‘‘without merit.” IRRIGATION OF ARID LANDS. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Stewart for a select committee of seven Sen- ators on irrigation and reclamation of arid lands (with a clerk at $6 per day) was agreed to. The Senate bills granting right of way to the Cherokee Central railroad company through the Indian territory, and to the Jamestown and Northern railroad company through the Devil's Lake Indian reservation were reported and placed on the calendar, The Senate bill for the allotment of land in severalty to the Indians on the Oneida reserva- tion, in Wisconsin, was reported back, ad- versely, and placed on the calendar. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ELECTIONS RESO- LUTION. Mr. Morgan offered an amendment to the resolution, reported from the committee on privileges and elections, which was laid on the table and ordered printed. It instructs the committee so to frame legislation on the sub- _ of elections that it shall not apply fo any state whose constitution and laws provide ample security for the honest exercise of the right to vote, for the just and impartial counting and return of the votes, and for the just, impartial, and true ascertainment and certification of the results, and in which state these requirements have been honestly complied with. Mr. Hoar offered a resolution (which was agreed to) directing the Secretary of the Treasury to transmit to the Senate forthwith certitied ee of all the sworn testimony in regard to alleged FRAUDS AND UNDERVALUATIONS in the New York custom-house, taken by Special Agent Byrne. He stated (in explanation of the resolution) that a violent attack had been made in the New York Evening Post on the Secretary of the Treasury and on Special Agent Byrne. “That attack, he said, had been sup- ported by some affidavits of certain discharged — officers, and those affidavits were said to e in conflict with the affidavits presented by Special Agent Byrne, and acted on by the Sec- retary. He had not investigated the question 80 as to touch bottom on it, COMPILATION OF DISTRICT LAWS. The House bill to secure a compilation of the laws of the District of Columbia was taken from the calendar and passed with amend- ments, and aconference asked. IMPORTED LIQUORS, ie ‘Mr. Wilson (Iowa) addressed the Senate in support of the bill relating to imported liquors, introduced by Mr. Frye, on December 21, 1887, reported back, adversely, from -the judiciary committe on March 19, 1888. and then placed on the calendar. The bill reads: “The consent of Congress is hereby given that the laws of the several states relating to the sale of distilled and fermented liquors within the limits of each state may apply to such liquors when they have been imported, in the same manner as when they have been manufactured in the United States.” House of Representatives. On motion of Mr. Rogers (Ark.) the Senate bill was passed providing for writs of error to the United States Supreme Court in all cases involving the question of the jurisdiction of court below. THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL. On motion of Mr. Forney (Ala.,) the Senate améndments were non-concurred in to the leg- islative, executive and judiciary appropriation bill, and Messrs, Forney, Randall and Cannon were appointed conferees. THE SIOUX RESERVATION IN DAKOTA. Mr. Peele, of Arkansas, called up the bill to divide a portion of the Sioux reservation in Dakota into separate reservations, and to se- cure relinquishment of the Indian title to the remainder. ‘The first vote was then taken upon an amend- ment offered by Mr. Breckinbridge (Ry.) opening the land to free entry under the homestead law, and it was rejected. The next vote was an amendment offered by Mr. Payson (Ill.) providing tor free entry by honorably discharged soldiers and sailors. The amendment was rejected and the -bill was passed. THE FORTIFICATION BILL, Mr. Sayers (Tex.), from the committee on ap- propriations, reported back the fortification appropriation bill with Senate amendments, and asked for its present consideration, nut on a point of order raised by Mr. Townshend of 1 Illinois it was referred to the committee uf the | Prepared for@’ bard ‘ight. ‘They feel that they | | have got to get a strong man inthe Speaker's | Mr. Springer (II) called up the conferenec | chair, who wili act wita firmness and prompt- | t whole. report on the Senate bill for the admission of THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA, ‘The report, which reports a total disngreement, was agrecd to. Mr. Springer moved that the House insist on its amendments and ask for another conference. This motion having been agreed to, Mr. Baker, of New York, offered a resolation giving the House conferees the following instructions: First, to exclude the Territory of New Mexico from the bill, Second, to amend the bill so to provide for the admission of South Dako by proclamation of the President under the Sioux Falis constitution, to be resubmitted to the people of South Dakota with provision for a new election of state and federal officers and without a new vote on the question of divi- sion. Third, that the proposed states of North Da- kota, Montana and Washington shall be ad. mitted on ihe same basis, either ali by proela- tation of the President or all by formal acts of admission, Mr. Cox (N. Y. poffered a substitute for the resolution, differing only from Mr. Baker's ‘oposition in that it provides for the admis- sion of North Dakota, Montanaand Washington by proclamation of the president. He earnestly prec) the immediate admission of these ter- tories. THE BLACK CLOUD which has hovered over Hayti, the black cloud which had covered the House yesterday, had rolled away. Tho prospect of war with Germany had smoothed its wrinkled front. the fisheries trouble was as cold as the arctic sea. ‘The time was ri ES clothing She secs only injury she suffered was imprisonment for one night in a police station. The Commis- sioners say they have no further knowledge on the subject,and do not know where else to seek it, CAPITOL TOPICS. TO UTILIZE THE DISMAL SWAMP CANAL, Senator Edmunds to-day introduced the fol- lowing resolution, which was agreed to: Resolved, That the committee on commerce be and it is hereby directed to take into con- sideration the question of the expediency of the purchase by the United States of the Dis- mal Swamp canal, in the states of Virginia and North Carolina, with a view to the same being improved and made an adequate highway for commerce between the Chesapeake bay and the principal sounds of North Carolina, and with a view to utilizing the fresh water of said canal and its feeder in a basin for the metal vessels of the navy.” THE LAND-GRANT FORFEITURE BILL. There wes another inconclusive meeting of the conferees on the general land-grant for- feiture bill this morning. The reading of the accepted to the sections about which there is no material difference of opinion, but upon the real issue between the two houses—that is, the to be as far apart as ever. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. bill continued their labors this morning. Hear- revenue marine service; Chief F. M. Thorn, of the coast survey; Mr. B, A. Colonna, in charge of the coast survey office, and Col. Laselle, of the rebellion records office. THE TARIFF BILL. While the republican members of the ways and means committee have not yet finally de- cided upon the point, the probabilities now are that they will not draw up a formal statement of the views of the minority to accompany the majority report upon the tariff bill. AMERICAN INTERESTS AT PANAMA. The House committee on foreign affairs to- day instructed Chairman McCreary to report favorably the Senate bill appropriating $250,000 for the protection of American interests and citi- zens at the Isthmus of Panama. In view of the fact that work on the canal ceases to-morrow the committee resolved to make an effort to secure immediate action by the House. NOTES. The House committee on pensions has or- dered a favorable report on the bill providing for the issue of artificial eyes to pensioners who lost their eyes in the line of duty. Indian Matters. MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED BY THE SENATE COMMITTEE. A busy meeting of the Senate committee on Indian affairs was held to-day. Favorable re- ports were ordered on bills granting right of way to the Cherokee Central railway through Indian territory. and to the Jimtown and Northern road through the Devil’s Lake reser- vation in Dakota. In thiscase the road has been built and in operation five years. Chair- man Dawes was instructed to report, as an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill, the substance of a Senate resolution di- recting the Secretary of the Interior to ascertain the Cherokee freedmen entitled to the $75.000 ordered to be distributed among them, the expenses to be paid out of that fund. A favorable report was ordered upon the bill to allot to the United Peorias and Miamis in the territory, about sixty in number, their lands in severalty, with an amendment forbidding the Indians to leave them. ‘An adverse report was ordered on the claim of A. B. Upshaw, ex-assistant commis- sioner of Indian affairs, for $1,000 for salary as acting commissioner and superintendent of Indfap schools during the absence of J.D. C. Atking, commissioner.

The scene in the House yesterday over the Smalis-Elliott contested election cas be repeated many times soon after the opening of the Fifty-first Congress, only in the next Congress the fights on the floor will be more protracted. The democrats are almost certain to resort to filibustering to prevent the uyseat- ing of any of their party who have secured certificates of election. It is not impossible that they may carry this policy to the extreme of not permitting any contest being carried to aconciusion. Achange of rules is the only thing that can restrict their power in this matter. The republicans may not be able to increase their majority by a single vote through these contests unless they give themselves enough time TO WEAR A FILIBUSTER OUT. Nothing definite has been learned as yet with relation to the two uncertified districts in West Virginiay but there is a rnmor to the effect that one, at least, of the certificates will go to a democrat.

Curious Argument in a Theatrical Di- vorce Case—Chamberlain’s Overtures. Special Cable Dispatch to Tax EVENING Stan. Loxpox, Feb. 14.—The heavy damages awarded to Izard iin what is called the “Do- rothy” @orce case is a topic of general dis- cussion. The rumored application for a new trial is improbable, Leslie having made $400,000 and built a splendid theater on the “Dorothy proceeds.” Lockwood, the famous advocate, urged in Leslies’ defense that husbands allow- ing their wives to join the stage must expect the consequences. This admission creates a lively controversy. Gladstone at Amalfi last Sunday attended mass in the morning and had English service in his private room in the afternoon. The stories of the empress of Russia's illness are false. She is in excellent health. The report that the German emperor intends to visit London, gives rise to a fear that there will be an unpleasant popular welcome. The Contemporary Reowew article has reached its eighth edition. The kaiser'’s health is good. He has the con- stitution of a horse, Lord Roseberry being elected chairman of the London council, tem, ily retires from | Party politics and abandons his platform en- | gagements. Trevelyn repudiates the payment of school | fees and taxes. except for bourd schools. This is an improbable scheme and fatal to voluntary schools, Chamberlain addressing a liberal club of both sections of the the olive branch, and suggests co-operation on j the agreed points of Irish policy. Until he votes once against the government they will disbelicve in the sincerity of his overtures. German Army Maneuvers.

Harper, against Mra, Mary Baldwin, relict of Ammi Baldwin, cashier of the late Fidelity bank. The document dis- closes a page of Baldwin's history hitherto un- known, and shows that in addition to an $18,000 shortage as cashier of the Third National bank, he appropriated to personal uses and never re- paid about $45,000 while executor of the estate of Mrs. E.

When the term of the legislature ex- pires there will probably be a vacancy in the Senate. Mr, Goff is almost certain to have the oath of ofice administered to him, and claim to be the legally-elected governor of West Virgiuia. The democratic candi- date for governor will! probably do the same thing, and the state will have a dual government. Then if the vacancy in the Senate exists after the See A the leg- isiature, each governor will probably’appointa Senator to fill the vacancy until an election is had, Two sets of credentials would then be presented to the Senate and the republican would undoubtedly be admitted to the seat. But one man is standing in the way of Kenna’s election now, and he may prove enough to de- prive the party of the seat in the Senate. At the District Jail.

The circular mentioned above was the result of a conference held at the convention. At this conference it was decided | that the principal trouble in the order lay im the fact that it bad departed from ‘ite original principles of secresy, and that the only remedy was @ return to those principles, Schilling proposed a plan which was agreed to. It was | to the effect that local assemblies of the | knights all over the United States and Canada | should, as far as possible, be induced i TO REORGANIZE ON THE SECRET PLAN, throwing off affiliation with the general exeom | tive board and setting up under a modus oper- andi that should be unknown outside of the | order. A conference was held at Cincinnati a few weeks later. A wvisional executive | board was appointed ond a new generabmaster | Workman was named. The latter was author- | ized to send out to trustworthy seekers for in- formation regarding the character of the new | movement a circular, the substance of which | Was given in these dispatches at the time. HOW THE NEW SCHEME WORKS. The organizers claim that in Chicago alone | more than a score of assemblies have cut off | all communication with the general executive board and have organized as a part of the new | secret order, The work is done in this way: | The secret organizer picks out ten anti-Pow- | derly men—parties whom he can trust. These | ten organize with a new charter on the secret plan, with a secret name, under the most bind- | ing obligations. Then the ten charter mem- | bers feel their way with the other members and lead them into the secret order by twos and threes in a quiet way until they have cap- tured a majority, Then they go back into ti old assembly long enough to vote it out of ex- istence. Geo. Schilling refused to talk on the matter when approached by a reporter, ——— BOTH TRAINS WRECKED. An Express and a Freight Meet With | a Fearful Shock—One Man Killed. Gaxespvne, Ini, Feb. 14.—There was a seri- ous wreck on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy at St. Augustine, a small station south jof here last night. Ex; train No. 15, which leaves here for Kansas City at 8 o'clock, | had passed through St. Augustine at the usual speed, and just as it was passing over the last switch freight train 18 came insight. Both trains were going so fast that they could not | stop, and they came together with a crash, compietely wrecking both trains, The engi- neer and fireman of both trains jumped and thus escaped unburt.

He lived in this city for many years, but a few years ago he went to Virginia, where he has since resided. For some years he says he was employed by Sam Moran, near Lees- burg, but last month he refused to cut some wood on Sunday, telling Sam that if he wanted wood cut on that day he would have to get somebody else to do it. Sam got some one else and he went to Leesburg to live with his grandmother. The first day he went to work, which was last Sunday, he accidentally stuck the pitchfork in the horse's foot.
