A PUBLIC BATHING BEACH. Mr. Ingalls today in the Senate introduced a bill establishing a free public bathing beach on the Potomac river beside the Washington monument grounds; €3,000 is appropriated for the purpose. AGAINST THE SUNDAY REST BILL. A number of petitions adverse to the passage of the Sunday rest bill for the District were introduced in the Senate today. AN ADVERSE REPO!

In reply to the letter of W. B. Morgan, in ha the sacle yewrer fed oorty merreguon or, lie covered with coverings, A SURPRISE IN THE HOUSE. THE DEMOCRATS SCORE A VICTORY, pea Gis, And Secure Time to Discuss the New House Rules, ———— OKLAHOMA BILL IN THE SENATE. THE SENATE. Among the bills introduced and referred were the following: By Mr. Edmunds—Establishing a public school system and providing for the mainte- nance and supervision of public schools in Utah. AGAINST FOOD ADULTERATIONS. Also providing for an inspection of meats for exportation, prohibiting the importation of adulterated articles of food or drink and au- thorizing the President to make proclamation in certain cases, Mr. Edmunds commended the latter bill to the earnest attention of the committee on for- eign relations, adding that it had twice passed the Senate, but had not been acted on in the House, and that it was of very great impor- bese to the interests of citizens of the United tates, By Mr. Pierce—To create an agricultural commission to investigate the present depressed condition of the agricultural, interests of the country. A FREE BATHING BEACH IN WASHINGTON. By Mr. Ingalls (by request)—Establishing a free bathing beach on the Potomac river near the Washington monument grounds, BILLS PASSED. On motion of Mr. Allison the Senate bill ap- propriating $100,000 fora public building at Burlington, Iowa, was taken from the calendar and passed. On motion of Mr. Mitchell the Senate bill for the relief of certain settlers on the public lands was taken from the calendar and passed, THE OKLAHOMA BILL. The Senate at 1 o'clock resumed considera- tion of the hill to provide a temporary govern- ment for the territory of Oklahoma—the pend- ing question being on the amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Plumb to comprise No Man's Land within the limits of the proposed ter- ritory. Mr, Vest argued in support of the amend- ment on the ground that there was now a large number of persons living in No Man’s Land without laws, without government protection and without ‘security for life, liberty or prop- erty, and that. these people should have a territorial jurisdiction extended over them. He referred to the case of the Sioux reserva- tion, where, he said. SCENES WERE BEING ENACTED TODAY that beggared all other scenes heretofore known to the American people in the way of opening 3 new country to settlement. efer- ring to the objections of the Cherokee Indians to surrender the Cherokee outlet, he said that assoon as these Indians realized that the United States was in earnest in the matter, and that No Man’s Land had been added to the tefritory of Oklahoma, they could take it as au fait accomple that the Cherokee outlet was to become a ieee of Oklahoma and would abate their demands. AGAINST THE AMENDMENT, Mr. Platt (in charge of the bill) argued against the amendment. He attributed Mr. Vest's earnestness in the matter notso much to apprehension for the 3,000 people living in No lan'a Land as to a desire for the opening of the Cherokee outlet to public settle- ment. He (Mr. Platt) was as anxious as the Senator from Missouri that the Cherokee out- let should be opened to settlement. He be- lieved that in the progress of events it was to be opened during the present session of Congress, That would require an act of Congress, and when that act was passed the outlet could be attached to the territory of Oklahoma. He did not think that there was any such pressing necessity as might make it desirable at Bees that No Man's Land should be attached to the territory of Oklahoma—not attached but included within its jurisdiction. . Dawes opposed the amendment, although he said he agreed with the Senator from Mis- sourias tothe importance and inevitability of the Cherokee outlet becoming soon a part of the public domain, and to become #0 not by spoliation, but by reason- able and fair compensation. He believed that thatend could have been accomplished long ago, and could have been accomplished last summer if there had not been threats mingled with the negotiations. There had been held up to the Indians negotiations in the one hand and a sword in the other. That had been the radical defect in all negotiations with the Indians. It had been announced within the last six months by those who had been sent to negoti- ate with the Cherokee Indians that, unless they accepted the proposition to t with their lands at $1.25 an acre, the land would be taken from them, and a distinguished statesman had thrown out the idea (as if it would help the negotiations) that it was within the power of the United States to condemn the land for public uses. THE HOUSE. The journal of yesterday's proceedings con- tained a yea-and-nay vote upon which the Speaker counted a quorum. The democrats would not by their silence acquiesce in its ap- roval and a roll call was rendered eon? it was approved—yeas 150, nays 1 (Mr. alew)—the Speaker counting a quorum, THE NEW CODE, Mr. Cannon of Illinois called up for consider- ion the proposed code of rules and he offered @ resolution Frovisiog that general debate shall close at 1 o'clock tomorrow and that (after de- bate under the five-minute rule) the previous question shall be considered as ordered at 4 o'clock tomorrow. VIGOROUS PROTESTS against cutting off discussion in such short order were made by Messrs. McMillin, Hooker, Springer, McCreary and Flower, but they were of no effect, and Mr. Cannon demanded the Previous question. Butthe House would not sustain this demand, and, many republicans Voting against it. the demand was rejected by an overwhelming vote of 58 to 149. Mr. Springer immediately claimed the floor, but Mr. Cannon declined to yield it. He pro- posed either to lose the previous question or at least to get some indication ut what time this year gentlemen on the other side were willing to close debate. He demanded the yeas and ov on his demand for the previous cles tion, it not a sufficient number of members arose to enforce this demand and, amid ap- plause from the democratic side, the Spéaker ote aa th yielded the fi recogniz- Cannon then yiel e floor, a ing, as he said, that his colleague (Mr. He ri rt) was in charge of the resolution, ter. ]. THE DEMOCRATS WERE JUBILANT over their victory, and as Mr. make a motion he was greeted ringer rose to many of his colleagues as being in charge of the proposed “y, agin oft 4 ir. Springer then offered a resolution provid- ing that general debate shall proceed until ad- journment tomorrow, after which the code shall be red under the five-minute rule until § o'clock Friday, when the previous ques- tion shall be considered as ordered. ‘THE DEBATE BEOING, Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) in supporting the new: code said that while it had been charged on the other side that the changes in the ‘sm unted to no one had at wherein, this reveiction wonld maeree and ‘affect the unfavorably business revolution lay. to counta quorum, and criticised the action of a minority in breaking a quorum by a refusal to vote. Every member of the House been guilty of this action. He confessed that he himself had been guilty of joining, in this method of preventing legislation on many occasions, and he was reudy to stand here and say (as his colleague, Mr. McKinley, had said), that he had never done it an revented the action of the majority; that he had not felt that he was guilty of an unjustifiable and almost unpardon- able breach of duty to his constituents, In his opinion the rights of the minority were ended when that minority had expressed its opposition to a measure, had recorded its votes against it and had protested to the country, He knew of no other God- given or Constitution-given right of the minor- ity. HADDEN CROSS-EXAMINED, The Ballot Box Investigating Come mittee Trying to Get at the Facts. The cross-examination of Lewis Hadden was continued this morning before the House com- mittee investigating the ballot box forgery. To Gen. Grosvenor witness admitted that he paid money to Mrs. Wood, About the middle of last October Wood wrote that he was engaged in looking up the $6,000,000 gun contract; that he had seen McLean, who was anxious that Holstead should not be elected Senator. He asked for $100 for himself and 250 for his wife, saying that he could not reach “his royal high- ness,” who was traveling over the state. Wit- nesé did not feel called upon to give the money, and did not reply. Then Mrs, Wood came to his house and gave him 4 LETTER FROM WOOD, inclosed in a letter to herself. He told Mrs. Wood he would consider the matter. The next morning he showed the letter to Dr. Graydon, saying he did not feel like taking the responsibility himself. Graydon said he had better give her the money, and handed him $150, which he gave to Mrs. Wood. Graydon was looking after the interests of the party in Hamilton county, but was not a member of the committee. Didn't tell Dr. Graydon about ‘Tom Campbell’s original paper and couldn't tell now why he didn't tell him; perhaps be- cause he was not thoroughly awakened the night he was called out of bedto see Mr. Hal- stead. Witness did not see the head of Camp- bell’s paper and Campbell did not say there were any words except the names upon it, Did not then tell Gov. Foraker that there was a contract in existence, but told him he believed there was written evidence, prseeing the paper he had questioned Wood about it. Asked why he had told the governor that the fac simile resembled the paper le had seen in Campbell's hands witness said it was because he recognized some of the names he had seen on Campbell's paper. Some days after the first payment to Mrs, Wood she cuiled at his hous» and left word for him to come to her house, He went to see Graydon and told him he pre- sumed sho WANTED MORE MONEY, It was near the close of the campaign and Graydon gave him 250 for Mrs. Wood, Witness went to her house. Saw Wood's let- ter and gave her the money, He told her he was not a national bank and she must not call for more financial assistance. She showed him a letter from T. C. Campbell, written in an angry tone, in answer to something she had written about “people living in glass houses.” Witness had told Nr. Kurtz about the payment of $150. Believed Graydon reimburses out of the campaign funds, THE NIGHT OF WOOD'S ARREST Mrs, Wood called with her son upon witness (abo tmidmght) and said that Wood wanted to see him at the station, He fhsisted on his coming and said that T. ©. Campbell had a man there (at the station house) who promised Wood that he would set him free if he would give up certain letters; that Wood didn’t want to do this and wanted to consult with witness. Witness re- fused to go after she had appealed in vain for money. The next day he saw Graydon, who told him to use his own judgment; that it was ® matter of giving it away; that the campaign ‘was over and they were NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WOOD’s TROUBLE. That night Wood's son came to his house. He was in great distress about his father's arrest and his mother’s worry and lack of money. He asked for money, saying his mother had no place to go, and that his mother would not bother him again. He felt a great deal of sympathy for the boy, gave him $40, and, to comfort ‘im, said that his father would probably soon be out of jail. Graydon paid witness the $40 next day. Had told Gov. Foraker ull about this on January 9, and believed, but was not sure, that he had spoken to Kurtz’ about it. Never’ paid money to Charles Blackburn or any one else to g0 On Wood's bond. A SUBP@NA FOR BLACKEURS. Gov. Foraker here requested a subpeena for Mr. Blackburn; but Mr. Grosvenor having re- marked that he had been proving that Gov. Foraker did not make any such payment, the committee held the matter under advisement. ‘The witness asked Mr. Grosvenor if there was any intimation from any person or witness that he had paid $100 to Mr. Blackbur: Mr. Grosvenor replied that the witness had no right to question him. The witness—Your question leaves a bad in- ference. If there was any such statement made I want the man bronght here to face me. I don’t want to go away from here under the inference that I paid money to Blackburn, Mr. Grosyenor—You have just sworn that you paid $200 or $300. Witness—At the suggestion of somebody else, Mr. Grosvenor—And it didn’t arouse your in- dignation. You had better wait awhile. The witness retorted that it appeared that he had been on trial here for some time, CROSS-EXAMINED BY FORAKER. The cross examination was then taken up by Gov, Foraker, who put questions intended to show witness’ good character and disclose the various public offices he holds, He said that Gov. Foraker and Mr. Kurtz did not know anything of the payments to Mrs. Wood until January last. ‘The chairman asked if witness had made any engi statement since he left the stand ere. himself CONTRADICTING GEORGE CAMPBELL. He replied that there was not one word of truth in George Campbell’stestimony. January 80 witness received a note from George Camp- bell saying witness owed him a little balance of $75 or $100, and witness sent him a check for $75, which he had owed him more than a year. Later in the day he met George Campbell and spoke about the debt, but there was never a word said about the ballot box, this investiga- tion or Gov. Foraker. That was the only money he had borrowed from Campbell. Campbell's story about his (witness) being forced to tell his story here and about the promise to take him to see Halstead was all untrue. Mr. Cogswell—You seem to have been the first man to have spoken about the matter out- side of those interested. How was that? Here was this corrupt thing going on and you ap to have been the first man to dis- close the transaction.

TWO BIG FIRES IN GRAND RAPIDS, ian INDIANS STARVING. Appeal From Their Agent for Instant Help or They Will Die Like Dogs. Fr. Torres, N.D., Feb. 11.—Between 800 and 1,000 Indians credited to the Devil's Lake agency are wholly destitute of clothing and in the last stages of starvation. Unless furnished with food, clothing and medicine at once the Indians will die like dogs, Disease has brought fully one-half of them to the verge of the grave and the recent inclement weather enhanced their sufferings. Indian Agent Cramsie has issued the following as an appeal for aid: “I desire to appeal to the American people for relief for the Indians of Devil's Lake, who are in a starving condition and very destitute of clothing. ‘The circumstances have been fully reported to the Interior department, with proper estimates for articles of food and cloth- ing. from time to time since August 5, 1589, and I have been furnished 2500, which was ex- pended in food and long since issued. I am in- formed that no further relief can be rendered by the government until Congress makes an appropriation, but from appearances the In- dians will be in their graves before relief by an “ppropriation can be used. These Indians have supported themselves for years by their own industry without government aid, and their present destitution 1s through no tault of their own, but is due only to the total failure of their crops, the same as in the case of white settlers in the neighborhood,and while the latter are receiving from the different counties the wards of the general governmeiit are starving. With other misfortune the grip has added to their sufferings. Their only means of subsist- ence is from the sale of wood, which has to be carried to market from 14 to 20 miles, and the price obtained for it is so xmall that very little food can be purchased with the proceeds; be- sides, the Indians are so very thinly clad that there are not many who can make the journey. Any contributions of subsistence or ‘clothing will be thankfully received vy the undersigned aud properly distributed. Joux W. Cuamsie, U.S. Indian Agent.” CANADIAN IMMIGRATION, Why Do Thousands of Canucks Come to the United States’ Orrawa, Feb. 11.—Mr. Charlton's motion for the appointment of a select committee to in- quire into the exodus of native-born Canadians and immigrants from Canada to the United States camo up yesterday in the house ef com- mons and was defeated by a majority of 21 votes. Mr. Charlton made a brilliant speech. He said the exodus was increasing every year and was y alarming. There were at present over 500,000 Canadians residing in the United States. Last year 28,000 people left Canada to settle in the states. He wanted the govern: ment to explain what this enormous exodus, compared with Canada’s small population, was due to. The government, however, did not believe in Mr. Charlton's figures aud, ona strict party vote, they defeated the motion. A WORK OF REVENGE, The Standard Oil Company’s Explosion Seems to Have Been Incendiary. Lyra, Ouro, Feb. 11.—Quite a sensation has been created here over the testimony of J. B. Showalter, a deaf mute employed at the Standard oil refinery, given at the inquest be- ing held by the coroner. Showalter said that the morning before the explosion which killed one man and injured five others he was at work in the still house, when a strange man ap- proached him from’ behind and tapped him on the shoulder. He looked uround and the strange man motioned for him to follow him. He did so and the fellow gave him a note tell- ing him everything was fixed, and then when he gave him the tip to look out. Showalter was frightened and did not work the next day, when the explosion took place, The strange man he had never seen betore and the sup- position is Some one as revenge aguinst the company. ‘The matter is being fully investigated. ——— A CLOUDY HORIZON, Strike of 75,000 Miners Threatened in the Great Coal States. Prrrssura, Feb. 11.—Patrick McBryde, ex- secretary of the Miners’ national progressive union and member of the executive board of the United miners, the new organizetion, is in the city for the purpose of making the ar- rangements for the annual conference with the operators. Hig presence will be the means of inaugurating the annual seale trouble and this year sensational developments are looked for. Mr. McBryde says unless the operators of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Lllinois come together and sign the interstate scale the great- est coal miners’ strike ever seen in this coun- try will take place. It makes no difference whether the Pittsburg operators are willing to grant the advance or not. The four states must act together or a shut-down will be called by the miners’ representatives. This will throw 75,000 miners idle. As the operators of Indiana and Illinois have virtually refused to go into the conference the strike seems proba- le. _—__ WORK OF THE FLOOD.
