CITY ITEMS... i iy i Oklahoma Town Sites Bill in the Senate. iy THE SENATE, The conference report on the bill to increase the pensions of totally disabled pensioners was presented by Mr. Davis, and was agreed to, after an explanation to the effect that, under the actof 1880, it had been provided that totally disabled pensioners then drawing $50 a month should receive $72; that the increase did not apply to those who were pensioned there- after; that the bill, as it paused tie Senate, was intended to correct that omission; that the House had amended it so as to allow arrears of pensions in such cases; that the conference was on that point, and that the result was practi- cally the adoption of the Senate bill as origin- ally passed—no arrears being allowed, BILLS REPORTED, Among the bills reported and placed on the calendar were the following: For the establishment of a pure food division in the Department of culture. To authorize the building of arailroad bridge across the Mississippi river at Redwood, Miss. To provide for fortifications and other sea- coast defenses, To provide for the establishment of a gun foundry for the finishing and assembling of heavy ordnance on the Pacific coast. Mr. Edmunds introduced a bill to- punish vrimes against officers of the United States while in discharge of their duties, and (by re- quest) a bill to reorganize the rank and pay of ¢ personnel of the navy. Referred. TOWN SITE ENTRIES IN OKLAHOMA. The Senate then, on motion of Mr. Plumb, proceeded to the consideration of the House bill to provide for town site entries of lands in Oklahoma, Mr. Plumb moved to substitute the Senate bill on the same subject for the House bill. Mr. Berry opposed the substitution and argued against it, He sent to the clerk’s desk and had read the report of Messrs. Pickler and McBride (sent there as officials of the Interior department) showing the manner in which the Jaw and proclamation has been disregarded by men who had been appointed deputy marshals, and, under that pretence, had gone into the territory in advance of the time and had made entries of some 1,100 acres of land in and around the town of Guth- rie. This had becn done, he said, by the con- nivance of Land Rezeiver Barnes and of Mar- shal Needles. Among the names of deputy marshals who had acted thus he mentioned that of Wm. H. Clayton of Arkansas and said that Mr. Clayton had since that time been nominated as district attorney and that his nomination was now pending before the Senate. Mr. Berry had also read the report in the New York World of an interview with Mr. McBride giving details of THE FRAUDS PERPETRATED in the entry of lands im Oklahoma, and said that the passage of the Senate bill would give effect to these frauds. If the Senate bill should become a law Congress would make itself a party to these frauds and would become the pro- tector and defender of those who had openly violated the law. Mr. Plumb’ said that no one would take ex- ception to the statement made by the Senator from Arkansas in condemnation of those who had entered the territory in violation of the law, but the Senate amendment, he said, conferred no rights on any person in any form whatever.

Of the cighty bauks included in the second call favor- able responses have already been received from sixty-five, which surrendered over $5,000,000 in government bonds, thirty-two of the banks going out of the system altogether. ALL Tue Testrvoxy To Go To THE SENATE.— Secretary Tracy has decided to transmit to the Senate the entire report of the court of inquiry that recently investigated the subject of or- ganizations among Officers. He was asked by the resolution introduced by Senator Chandler only for answers to certain questions, the last of which he could only answer by mak- ing up his mind from the information given him by the court. It is really unnecessery for him to send the whole of the report, or, in fact, any of it; but he is anxious that the Senate shall feel that he has not withheld any infor- mation upon the subject.

Taylor (Ohio), from the judiciary committee, presented a resolution calling upon the Attorney General for information respect- ing the number of murders and assaults in the District of Columbia during the past six years, Also the number of convictions of persons for carrying concealed weapons. Adopted. THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL, Mr. Lee (Va.) offered his resolution calling upon the same officer for information as to what steps, if any, have been tuken to protect the interests of the United States in the Chesa- peake and Ohio canal company. Mr. McComas (Md.) suggested as an amend- ment an inquiry as to what is necessary to pre- serve the canal as a waterway, and as Mr. Lee refused to accept the amendment he objected to the consideration of the resolution and it was referre? to the judiciary committee, Upon motion of Mr, Burrows (Mich.) it was resolved that when the House udjourn today it be to meet on Monday. THE WORLD'S FAIR BILL. The regular order being demanded Mr, Hooker (Miss.) proceeded to address the House upon the world’s fair bill. He spoke of the vast importance to the world of Columbus’ discovery, which marked the greutest era in history. It deserved commem- oration. We celebrated the centennia! in sight of the hall where the Declaration of Independ- ence had been made. It was appropriate that it should be celebrated there. tt would baak- rupt the multiplication table to calculate the advantages of that celebration to the United | States, He was ior the centennial celebration of the discovery of America, Always in the old world ike seat of government had been the lace where their celebratious were held.

Pull Miller of Philadel Saher ihe gpa liberty. -five yours SHavdatd | FRR A YE nawranas, Secretary. w York, encroachments i HE NOW OPPOSED THIS PROJECT. The government had nothing to do with fairs, Columbus never saw North America, This country was discovered by the man whose name it bears, and the celebration is afew years too soon. Bat this was a business mat- ter; there was something besides patriotism in it’ The cities came here hurrahing for the old fixg and an appropri- ation, This was a proposition to make money. The Philadelphia exposition was a success. They wanted first only government recognition, but finally came for an approprias tion. He denied that inventive genius de- pended upon government aid, citing the case of MeCormick and the builder of the yacht America, which astonished the world. if New York wanted a fair they could organize it ON BUSINEES PRINCIPLES, as they did a bank, and hold it. So it was with Chicago and St. Louis, They were business cities and knew how to manage a business en- terprise. The republicans had been condemn- ing the southern people for denying to the colored men the right of suffrage. Who had disfranchised the colored men in the District ot Columbia in the Forty-seventh Con- gress? A republican House and Senate and President. They were afraid to trust the colored man to manage the District govern- ment, but were willing that they should gov- ern Mississippi and Louisiana, They had bet- ter pluck the beam out of their own eye before they plucked the mote from the eye of some- body else. In the District it was proposed to issue bonds to pay the expenses of the fair. ‘The people were now taxed and governed to death. He took it for granted that the fair would be held; that Congress would go on interfering with the rights of the people. and it would be charged to patriotism and Colum- bus. And he would have to do as the rest did. He would have to vote for the site and repre- sent his people, and he would vote for Texas’ neighbor—st. Louis, [Applause.] FOR TEXAS FIRST, THEN FOR ST. LOUIS, It would give his people a chance to go to the fair with the least expenditure of the money which excessive taxation left in their pocketa, If he could get enough members to yote his way he would fix the site in his own district, As it was he would vote to fill the blauk with the name of St. Louis, and then he would vote against the bill altogether. WHY MR. MORSE WILL VOTE AGAINST THE BILL. Mr. Morse (Mass. ) said he should vote against the bill—first, because his democratic brethren had predicted in advance that the first acts of the majority of this House under the new rules would be to wipe out the surplus and empty the treasury of the United States. One of these bills, and the only tikely to pass, called for an issue of bonds by the District of Columbia and an expenditure, if the fair should be held in this city (which would undoubtedly be the com- | promise agreed upon if it were held anywhere), of $15,000,000, one-half of which, at least, the government would be held for, The Paris ex- position cost $12,000,000, It is supposed that the country would get back a part of this sum from foreign visitors and exhibits; but he thought it safe to say that this proposed world’s fair. wherever held, would in- volve a loss to the treasury of the United States of several miilion dollars. if it was pro- posed to practice economy would not this be a good place to begin. If we were going to have a world’s fair and issue bonds or appropriate large sums of money from the treasury there are several bills calling for large sums of money that he desired to see passed—first, the soldiers dependent pension th second, we should pass a bill to pension every soldier still living (there are not many) who suffered the tortures of the damned in Andersonville and other prison pens of the south, This vast sum could be better used in other directions, This great and expanding covatry is calling for and is entitled toa large appro- priation for the improvement of its rivers and harbors. We were suffering for public build- ings in the centers of trade and population. Far better to expend $15,000,000 in establishing a | postal telegraph throughout the country or to take the tax off sugar—a prime necessity of life, a tax that bore oppressively upon every laborer or mechanic aud the humblest of our citizens. The country necded education. The statistics of illiteracy in several large states of the Union are appalling and growing worse. We were NOT SUFFERING FOR 4 WORLD'S FAIR. The country had a surfeit of celebrations for the present. The great event of the discovery of America might probably be celebrated by erecting in the capital of the nation a monu- ment or a statu granite or bronze to Colum- bus for a comparatively small sum.
