PUBLIC BUILDING BILLS REPORTED. Bills making appropriations for public buildings were reported and placed on the calendar as follows: Sterling, Ill, $50,000; Oak- land, Cal., $300,000; Cheyenne, Wyo., $150,000; Chester, Pa,, $100,000; Helena, Mon., £150,000; Salt Lake City, Utah, 500,000; Stockton, Cal, $85,000; Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone national rk, $10,000; Pawtucket, R.I., $100,000; Woonsock: R.L., €100, 000; Portland, ibe $500,000; Hudson, N.Y., $100,000; Virginia ie Nev., 275,000; Hasting, Neb., $150,000; les, Ore., $100, Salem, Ore., $100.000; Stillwater, Minn., $100,000; Reno, Nev., 975,000; San Diego, Cal., 2300,000. BILLS PASSED. The following bills were reported and passed: Providing the time and place for holding the United States district court in South Dakota, In relation to the arrest of offenders against the United States escaping from one district or state to another, Mr. Sherman offered an amendment (which was referred to the judiciary committee) ap- Propriecng $3,745 for the widow of Chief ‘ustice Waite, being equal to the balance of his salary for one year. SOLDIERS’ HOME BILL PASSED. On motion of Mr. Voorhees the House bill appropriating #40,000 for the Marion (Ind.) branch of the National soldiers’ home (to be immediately available) for the current fiscal year was taken up and passed. VICE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE, Mr. Evarte, from the committee on privi- leges and elections, reported a resolution (which was laid over) that it is competent for the Senate to elect a President pro tempore, who shall hold office during the pleasure of the Senate and until another is elected, and who shail execute the duties thereof when the Vice President is absent. On motion of Mr. Gibson Senate bill appro- pristine $800,000 for a site fora public build- ing at New Orleans was taken from the calen- dar and OKLAHOMA. The Senate resumed considecation of the bill to provide a temporary government for the ter- ritory of Oklahoma, Mr. Plumb offered an amendment to include within the boundaries of the territory all that tract of land bounded on the east by the 100th meridian, on the south by the state of Texas, on the west ud the territory of New Mexico, and on the north by the states of Colorado and Kansas, and known as the public land strip. Mr. Ingalls inquired of his colleague whether that was the region known as NO MAN'S LAND. Mr. Plumb—It is, Mr. Ingalls—I believe that it is not contigu- ous to the territory provided for in the bill. Mr. Platt—It is a tract of land 125 miles from Oklahoma territory. Mr. Plumb admitted that that was one of the difficulties of the situation; but he argued, nevertheless, that the jurisdiction of the terri- tory of Oklahoma should be extended over No Man's Land. Mr. Platt argued against the amendment, stating that it would be just as incongruous as it would be to unite a county in eastern Kansas to a county in western Kansas, ‘The organiza- tion of No Man’s Land should be left until the Cherokee outlet (which intervenes) shall be open to settlement and shall be attached to Oklahoma, Then he might be disposed to have the public land strip attached to the territory of Oklahom, although some people favored its annexation to the state of Texas, IMPORTANT NOMINATIONS, Charles Emory Smith as Minister to Russia Heads the Diplomatic List. The President today sent to the Senate the following nominations: State—Charles Emory Smith of Pennsyl- vania to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Russia, Samuel Merrill of Indiana to be consul gen- eral at Calcutta, J.

In explaining the provisions of the code Mr. Cannon stated that of the 47 rules which gov- erned the last House 29 were reported without struction of the minority as had been given to the consideration of the business of sixty mil- lion ee ae PEOPLE DEMANDED. that the engine should be reversed and thata code of rules should be constructed so as to en- able a majority of the representatives of the people in the shortest time consistent with due consideration to register the will of the people in the shape of law. EE DEFENDED THE PROPOSED CHANGE prohibiting the Speaker from entertaining dila- tory motions, No Speaker would dare to re- fuse to entertain a motion until it was patent to all that it was dilatory, and then the Speaker should refuse to entertain it. He denied that the proposed rule was tyrannical, but if it was then it was a tyranny sustained by the majority of the House. If he had to choose between the tyranny of a consti- tutional majority responsible to the people and the tyranny of an irresponsible minority he would sand by the Constitution and so act as to let the majority rule. Discussing the rule permitting the Speaker tocount a quorum he said that if the demo- crats wanted to go to the country as against the principle contained in the rule the republi- cans were ready to meet them and let the people choose. But as sure as the republicans remained in the majority they would perform the functions that the Constitution and the people made it their ane to perform. AN EARLY "ADJOURNMENT. What Congress wil D Do After Adopting the New Rules. It is expected now that this will be a short, sharp session, The liberality of the new rules, which give promise of promt action on all measures reported, has excited to great ac- tivity all the people who are seeking special legislation, whether for claims, pensions or what not. The friends of every one of the six thousand bills that have been introduced are encouraged by the hope that fair consid- eration will be accorded the measures, Of course many of the bills proposed, if passed, would greatly reduce the surplus in the treas- ury.. While it is the purpose of the majority to dispose of proper legislation and do justice to those who have aright to demand legisla- tion, it is not to the party interest to let the appropriations mount up too high in one year, n order to prevent excessive appropriations it is proposed to set all the important measures welladvanced ahead of the great mass of matter, and when they are disposed of to se- cure an early adjournment. ‘Yhe committee on appropriations have been working hard to get their bills out of the way. and they believe that it will not be their fault if a final adjonrnment is not had by the 10th of June, The subcommittee on the pension bill has practically finished with the bill, which carries 298,000,000, and the work on all the other bills is well advanced, AFTER THE VOTE ON THE RULES. It is proposed to have a vote on the rules by Wednesday evening. After that the coutested election cases will be disposed of as promptly as possible, and the appropriation bill, the tariff and other important matters may be brought in in quick succession, Under the new rules, however, every committee's rights are re- spected, and the question of priority of consid- eration will depend upon the activity of the committee and on the temper of the House re- garding the measures proposed. If they succeed in getting all the measures that are of importance out of the way early they will probably adjourn as soon as possible thereafter. There would be several advan- tages in an early adjournment besides that of cutting off unuecessary legislation, An early adjournment, with all the necessary work done clean, would necessarily give the republicans badass in the next elections.

Bishop Hurst’s Project Received With Much Favor. Since the publication in Taz Srar several days ago that those interested in establishing a Methodist university in this city has secured the refusal of the Davis farm, a tract of about ninety acres on the Loughborough road, much interest has been manifested in the enterprise. Bishop Hurst, to whose efforts whatever has been done so far is mainly due, feels very much encouraged by the substantial support which has been given to the project. The land, gs has been stated in Tue Stax, will cost $100,000 and it is the intention to show to the dendmiination throughout the country that the citizens here are sufficiently interested in the sabject to start the enterprise by the | donation of the site, which has been se- cured. Mr. Matthew G. Emery, the president of the Second national bank, will act as treas- urer of the fund, and both he and Bishop Hurst have received several handsome sub- scriptions from citizens here. These gentle- men are prepared to furnish all information when called upon. While this is « church enterprise, yet it is not a denomina- tion: one, and it has, it is stated, the support and sympathy’ of members of all denominations and of those who are ready to aid any undertaking calculated to pro- mote the welfare of the city. When the ground is paid for then the members of the denomina- tion elsewhere will be called upon to aid in the endowment of the institution. It 1s the plan to establish a hiversity in the broad sense, where young men can pursue post graduate or profes- sional studies. Mr. Studebaker, the carriage maker of Indianapolis, and other prominent Methodists are heartily in favor of establishing a uni- versity in this city. ——_»____ Back to Get His Legacy.
