Likely to be Renewed in the House To- ry. ‘The session is rapidly slipping away, and Mr. Randall is beginning to display signs of anxiety about his internal revenue bill. The contend- ing parties are getting into line, and the fight is likely to occur before to-day’s session termi- nates. As soom as the Indian appropriation bill is disposed of Mr. Crisp will move to pro- ceed with the consideration of the California contested-election case. Mr. Randall will then raise the question of consideration, stating that he proposes to go into the committee of the whole to take up the substitute of the Cowles bill. Mr, Mills and his friends do not intend to resort to filibustering, but there are several conference reports ready to be called up, and other questions of privilege, including several acts, mei es, and appropriation bills, which have the right ‘of way, hence it appears that the Randall proposition will encounter fopesed rough knocks before a final vote can be taken. ATTITUDE OF THE WAYS.AND MEANS COMMITTEE. Messrs, Breckinridge and Scott, of the ways and means committee, stated to a Srar re- porter to-day that Mr. Randall will not be al- lowed to pass his internal revenue bill unless he couples it with certain tariff provisions. The effort made to secure the signatures of a majority of the democratic members to a peti- tion requesting Spe&ker Carlisic to recognize Mr, Ranesll’s bill, appears to have failed. Up to 1 o'clock to-day only forty nafhes had been secured. Mr. Cowles WEST TO SPEAKER CARLISLE and urged him to allow Mr. Randall's motion to prevail, The Speaker inspected the list and decided that under the circumstances he could uot depart from his original proposition, which was that he would cheerfully recognize Mr. Randall if a majority of the democrats recom- mended it. The Speaker suggested that a com- romise might be reached by a caucus, but Mr. Sowles sttted that he was not authorized to accept such a proposition. He therefore in- formed the Speaker that the friends of the in- ternal revenue bill would be compelled to take ‘ssue with the ways and means committee. Chairman Herbert is prepared to antagonize Mr. Randall with the conference report on the naval appropriaf iL. tee. Inauguration Weather. GEN, GREELY THINKS TAE OUTLOOK VERY UNFA- VORABLE. “Is it too soon to begin talking about the in- anguration weather ?” asked a Star reporter of Gen, Greely this morning. “T don’t know that it is,” was the reply of the chief signal officer, as he led the way towards i: EFF i i f AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL Under Consideration in the House. THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT. Bill to Amend It Taken Up in the Senate, The Senate. THE APPROPRIATION BILLS. A conference was ordered on the army appro- priation bill; and Senators Allison, Piumb and Gorman were appointed conferees on the part of the Senate, Mr. Plumb reported back the post-office ap- propriation bill and gave notice that he would call it up for consideration to-day. ‘The conterence report on the agricultural de- partment appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. The House having notified the Senate that it disagreed to the conference report on the bill to change the eastern and northern judicial districts of Texas, a new conference was ordered. ‘The Senate bill to amend the law to provide for the better protection of the salmon fisheries of Alaska was reported by Mr. Stockbridge trom the committee on fisheries and passed. THE INAUGURAL ADDRESSES. Mr. Hawley, from the committee on print- ing, reported back a substitute for the resolu- tion as to printing the inaugural addresses of all the Presidents of the United State was passed. , It Provides tor printing, 10,000 copies of the addresses, in chronological order, together with certain historical data con- nected with the inauguration ceremonies, brief biographical sketches of the Presidents, the Declaration of Independence, the Consti- tution of the United Stutes, the farewell ad- dresses of Presidents Washington and Jackson, a steel engraving of the capitol, steel portraits i the Presidents, and a suitable index by sub- jects, Three thousand copies are to be for the use of the Senate, 6,000 for the use of the House of Representatives, 1,000 for the use of the compilers and editors, And it appropriates $5,130 for the printing of the illustrations at the bureau of engraving and printing. STATES OF IDAHO AND WYOMING. Mr. Platt, from the committee on territories, reported two bills for the formation and admis- sion of the states of Idaho and Wyoming, and said he would endeavor during the day to sub- mit a written report. As soon as the bills were printed he would ask for their consideration. Mr. Plumb having made a correction in the report of proceedii the presiding officer Qilr. Ingalls) remarked that the CONFUSION IN THE SENATE CHAMBER was, at times, so great that his surprise was that the proceedings were reported so correctly as they were, THE ARKANSAS ELECTION OUTRAGE. Mr. Hoar, from the committee on privileges and elections, reported an amendment to the deficiency bill (which was referred to the com- mittee on appropriations).appropriating 25,000 to encble the President of the United States to offer a suitable reward for the detection and conviction of the persons who illegally carried away and destroyed the ballot-boxes of Plum- merville, Ark., at the last election for Repre- sentatives ia? Congress and for presidential electors. He stated that it was a majority re- port—the minority dissenting. The House bill to remove the political dis- abilities of Henry A. Ramsay, of Maryland, was (on motion of ‘Mr. Gorman) taken up and passed. . TO AMEND THE INTERSTATE-COMMERCE LAW. On motion of Mr. Cullom the Senate pro- ceeded to the consideration of the Senate bill to umend the interstate-commerce law so as to act upon the House amendment, on which the conference committee has been unable to agree. Mr. Sherman favored concurrence in the two House amendments, House of Representatives. On motion of Mr. Culberson (Tex.), the Sen- ate amendment was concurred in to the House bill requiring United States judges to instruct juries in writing in certain cases, BILLS PASSED. Acting under the special order, the Speaker recognized Mr. Abbott (Tex.), who called up the Senate bill for the erection of a public building at Fort Worth, Tex., with an amend- ment limiting the cost to $75,000. Much to the rise of the House, Mr. Biand (Mo.) re- mained in his seat and refrained from entering he filibustering motion, and consequently the bill was passed. Mr. Adams (Ill) was next recognized, and is his motion a bill was rege for the relief of the widow of Col. Arno Voss, Mr. Allen (Mich.) was the next favored one, and he called up a bill increasing to $150,000 the limit of costfor the public building at Winona, Minn., but pending action the hour for the consideration of business by unanimous consent expired. A NIGHT FOR THE DISTRICT. On motion of Mr. Hemphill, of South Caro- lina, a session was ordered for Thursday night for appropriate ceremonies pertaining to the acceptance of the Cass and Muhlenberg statues and for the consideration 6f business reported from the committee on the District of Co- lumbimt THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL, The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, in the chair, on the Indian appropriation bill, The pending amendment, appropriating 1,912,000 to pay the Seminole Indians for the lands in the Indian territory ceded by them to the United States, was agreed to. Tho lands acquired (2,037,000 acres) are made open to settlement under the homestead law, On a point of order, raised by Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, the clause was stricken out which provides for the sale of certain bonds heid in trast jor the Delaware Indians and for the distribution of the proceeds among the Indians, On a point made by Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, the provision that not more than three of the five members of the commission to negotiate for the cession of the Cherokee ont let shall be of same political party was ruled out. Mr. McAdoo seconded the adoption of an amendment forbidding the purchase of re- freshments for the Indians during their meet- ings with the commissioners. MR, KENNEDY HAS THE FLOOR. Taking advantage of the five-minute debate, Mr. Kennedy (Ohio) replying to censures by Mr. Crisp, passed upon his conduct as presiding officer of the Ohio rehearsed the history of the box frauds in Hamilton county. He defended his conduct in refusing to allow the four mem- bers of the legislature, whose seats were con- tested, to take part in the proceedings, DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

Senator Evarts yesterday offered an amend- ment to the deficiency bill, appropriating $1,500 for a bust of Chief Justice Waite, to be placed in the Supreme Court room, CAPITOL TOPICS. A TARIFF STATISTICAL BUREAU. Representative Wheeler, of Alabama, from the committee on expenditures in the Treasury department, yesterday reported to the House a bill to create and establish a tariff statistical ean in the Treasury department. The bu- is to secure and keep constantly on file the riff laws of all countri d to collate and compile information showing the effect of those laws upon the general prosperity of the coun- tries by which they are enacted. The com- mittee in its report says that the bureau is ab- solutely necessary to enable members of Con- gress and the citizens of the several states to acquire reliable and accurate information re- garding the tariff laws of foreign countries and the effect of the tariff legislation w! is in force in the United States at this time, EXTRA SESSION OF THE SENATE. President Cleveland last night issued a proc- lamation calling an extra Session of the Sepate to meet at noon on March 4 to receive execu- tive communications, THE INAUGURAL CEREMONIES IN THE SENATE. Those ex-Senators, governors of states, officers of the army and navy, persons who have received the thanks of Congress and Sen- ators and members-elect, can secure tickets of admission to the Senate to witness the inaugu- | ration ceremonies on the 4th of March by mak- ing personal application to Col. Canaday, ser- geant-at-arms of the Senate, on Saturday. WORTHLESS PAPERS. The Secretary of War to-day transmitted to Congress detailed statements from the heads of bureaus in the War department, showing the condition and character of such papers, &c., a8 are not needed or useful in the transac- tion of current business, and have no perma- nent or historical value. FOR THREE MORE NEW STATES. Representative Springer has introduced a bill providing for the admission of the territo- ries of Arizona, Idaho, and Wyoming as states. It provides that these territories may become states as provided in the omnibus bill approved on the 22d instant, and that the provisions of that act shall be extended to these territories the same as if they had been included in the act with certain exceptions. NOTES, Representative Perkins presented in the House yesterday a Senate concurrent resolu- tion of the Kansas legislature asking for legis- lation that will open the Indian territory to settlement, = The republican members of the Ohio con- gressional delegation will give a dinner to Sen- tor Sherman Friday evening at Welcker's hotel. STILL FIGHTING FOR WEBB. Unsuccessful up to Date. The friends of Commissioner Webb are mak- ing desperate and plainly visible efforts to se- eure his confirmation, Yesterday afternoon Mr. Riddleberger. the Commissioner's cham- pion, moved to go into executive scssion. He has been making that motion for some time past, but last night was the ~first time the Senate gave it considera- tion, Everybody understood why the Sen- ator from Virginia had suddenly changed front on the question of the executive sessions, and some people imagined thag the confirmation of Mr. Webb would undoubtedly take place the first time the Senate had a chance at it. It did not, however, turn out that way last night. Motions were made to discharge the commit- tees in charge of the nominations of Commis- sioner Webb, Assistant Postmaster-General Stevenson (to succeed the late Judge Merrick), and Assistant Secretary Thompson, as a member of the civil-service commission. Ob- jection was made to immediate consideration of the motions, so under the rule they went over to come up et the next executive session. The friends of the nominees mentioned believe they can secure-enough votes on the republican side to join with the democrats in taking these cases out of the hands of the committies, A lively fight is anticipated when the question comes up for discussion at the next executive session. : It is evident from the fact that a motion to discharge the committee from further consid- eration of Mr. Webb's case was made that the ambiguous action of the District committee last Friday in the absence of a majority of the re- publican members is not viewed either by the Senate or the committee as a favorable report upon Mr. Webb’s nomination. It was rumored last night and early this morning that a special meeting of the District committee was to be held to-day to consider the nomination and to make some definite report thereon, but if any portion of the committee desired such a meet- ing they did not get it. A Hotel Robbery. D ‘ WO WILL BE HELD INAUGURATION, The first arrest of an alleged crook who the police claim came here to do the town during the inanguration, was made to-day by Detec- tives Mahon and Carter. The prisoner is a neatly dressed young man, a stranger to the officers, The detectives arrested him about 12 o'clock the Belvedere hotel, whtre they found him asleep in his room, ‘Phe arrest was the result of an Investigation made of a robbery that occurred in the hotel lest night. The house was pretty well crowded, and tomuke room for another guest the bartender, Mr. J. H. Staples, occupied a bed in the room of Mr. J. W. Cody, one of the regular boarders. This morning about 5 o'clock when the bartender awoke he reached for his vest pocket to get his watch, but it had been stolen during the night. He called to his room-mate, whom he knew well, and informed him of the robbery. In amo- ment Cody learned that his watch had also been stolen during the night. Complaint was made and the detectives went to the hotel and investigated the matter. They learned who the guests in the house were except ohe yor mna, who bad ed on the 10 a room. He registe Pa.” When taken from bed the y pressed surprise. He put on his Gia mot have ast overcoat, Mell ha; ‘The detectives took him to ’. Phillips, Grace church; J. W. Clark, St. James church; W.

He will probably be arrested there by the Paris police on charges connected with his dealings in obscene literature and his debts and be extradited on a warrant for forgeries, forged bills of exchange on the Hibernian bank, A letter from him to the Tires’ solicitor this morning, repeating and contirming the Labouchere confession, has completed the Times’ discomfiture and forced the attorney- general to withdraw the alleged Parneil letters with apologies. How reluctantly this is done ig seen by to-day’s Times. which contains no - ‘¥, but continues the advertisement of the **Parnellism and Crime” pamphlet, with the fac-simile letters. NOTED UNIONISTS IN THE CONSPIRACY. Russell's speech to-day, begging the court to continue the effort to unearth the foul con- spiracy, created a marked impression. Union- ists high in the political world are believed to be implicated. Parnell then entered the box and denied the authenticity of the letters and the court adjourned till Friday. when the other Parnellites will deny, and the courts will express an opinion on the letters as part of the case, The Standard, Telegraph, and other lead- ing unionist journals bitterly denounce the Times, recognizing that a strong reaction is probable in Parnell’s favor. The indemnity clause in the Parnell commission bill excludes Persons procuring, or attempting or conspiring to procure, false evidence. The Parnellites hope to obtain ion of Pigott's letters and thus get a clew to the real originators of the conspiracy. Houston is considered too young and inexperienced to have been the a pp Parnell gave his testimony ad- | mirably and made an obvious impression on the court, MR. ——_— MORTON LEAVES NEW YORK. No Delegation Accompanies the Vice- President-elect to the Train. New Yors, Feb, 27,—At 10 o'clock this morn- ing Vice-President-elect Levi P.
