NO QUORUM IN THE SENATE And the Sergeant-at-Arms is Sent to Summon Absentees. ———— ARKANSAS CASE IN THE HOUSE. ————— THE SENATE. The message of the President making known his approval of the agreement made with the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota for the cession of their lands, transmitting the report of the commissioners and recommending an appro- Ppriation to complete the survey of the lands, was presented, read and referred. MR. COUCH'S CONTRADICTION, Mr. Berry, as a question of privilege, re- ferred to a letter read by him in the dis- cussion on the Oklahoma bill which reflected on Mr. Wm. L. Couch. That letter, he said, purported to have been written by citizens of Oklahoma, He had now received a letter from Mr. Couch contradicting those allegations, and (in justice to him) he asked to have Mr. Couch’s letter read by the clerk. The letter was read. It declared that the statements made in the communication were @ tissue of falsehoods from begmning to end and that its author was James L. Brown, ‘‘a lot and claim jumper and professional black- mailer.” AGAINST THE SUNDAY REST BILL. Senator Stockbridge presented today two im- mense packages of remonstrances against the passage of any bill in regard to the observance of the Sabbath or the Lord's day or any other religious or ecclesiastical institution or rite; Against the adoption of any resolution for the amendment of the national Constitution that would in any way give preference to the principles of any one religion above another, or that will in any way sanction legisiation upon the subject of religion. These remon- strances contain the individual signatures of 308,377 citizens from different states and teryi- : Michigan, 41,447; Minnesota, 55; Kansas, 30,075; Cal- 22,880; Wisconson, 20, ifornia, 20,428; Ohio, 19. On motion of Mr. Turpie ropriating $100,000 for a tuyette, Ind., was taken and passed, BILLS ON THE CALENDAR, The calendar was then taken up. ‘The first bill on the calendar was the bill to regulate commerce by telegraph, which was reported from the committee on interstate commerce on the 5th of February. it was read in full, Mr. Cullom having sug- gested that, as it was a unanimous report and as it had passed the Senate last session, it would probably not give rise to any debate. But, as Mr. Gorman suggeated (at the close of the reading) that he would like to offer some amendments, the bill was al- lowed to go over withoutaction, GENERALS’ WIDOWS AND PRIVATES’ WIDOWS, A bill increasing the pension of the widow of Maj. Gen. G. K. Warren to $100 a month hay- ing been reached Mr. Reagan opposed it and spoke against the practice of giving large pen- ‘the Senate bill ap- public building at rom the caicudar sions to widows on the groun that their husbands had been die- tinguished officers while the widows of private soldiers might go to the poor house, Instead of the government being one of the people, for the people and by the people it was getting, he said, to be one of the classes, for the classes and by the classes, The bill was defended by Mr. Blair, and on the question of its passage the vote was: Yeas, 19; nays, 6. As there Was no quorum voting there was acallof the Senate, when 36 Sena- tors (still less than a quorum) answered to their | names, Thereupon a motion was made by Mr. Platt and was agreed to directing the sergeant-at- arms to request the attendance of absent Sena- tors. The names of execute the order of the Senate. A QUORUM IN THE RESTAURANT. After some minutes the presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls) informed the Senate that the sergeant- at-arms had just reported to him that there were twenty-two Senators in the restaurant; that they had been all notified to attend and that they had declined to do so. Mr, Hawley remarked that there were sev- eral in the Supreme Court, where an interest- ing case (the Neagle case) was going on. Mr, Platt moved that the Senate adjourn. Mr. Harris—I ask the gentleman from Con- necticut to withdraw the motion so that I may make another motion which, I think, is legiti- mate under the rule, and that is that the ser- ted to compel the at- f absent Senators, Mr. Blair—I hope that the motion to adjourn wiil not be insisted upon, The chair reminded Senators that debate was not in order and that there was no quorum present. ‘The question was taken on the motion to ad- journ and it was rejected—yes 17, nays 86 IN FAVOR OF THE BLAIR BILL, The chair then announced that, as there was @ quorum present and as the hour of 2 o'clock had arrived, the educational bill was before the Senate as unfin' d business and that the Warren pension bill would remain on the cal- endar, Mr. Barbour addressed the Senate in advo- cacy of the educational bill, He spoke of the great interest which the people of Virginia took in that measure and said that it had been favored in the platform of both political par- ties in that state, THE HOUSE, Immediately after the reading of the journal the consideration of the Arkansas election case of Feathertone vs, Cate was resumed, and the contestee was accorded the floor to speak in his own behalf. It was the duty of members, he said, not to elect today a Representative from the first district of Arkansas, but, laying aside party Leh pap laying aside every sentiment of possible party exigency, past, present or to come, to determine whom’ the people of that district had chosen to represent them, He was not seeking personal vindication nor dreading personal denunciation; he was stand- ing here as « representative of 42,000 freemen and asking justice for them. DEFENDING ARKANSAS, Mr. McRae (Ark.) in a four-minute speech defended and eulogized the people of his state, Those people, he said, were not in favor of violence. ‘They were for the law apd the Con- stitution and every imputation that bad been cast against their repute was without founda- tion, If he were to charge agreat state: like Kansas with the crime and in the manner that his people had been charged the people of that state would say that he bad the spirit of assassination about him, and if he were tried lus own people he would be convicted of the charge.

The Secretary of the Navy has ordereda court-martial to convene at the Mare Island navy yard on the 13th instant to try Com- mander Jos. B, Coghlan on two charges—one of conduct prejudicial to good order and naval discipline and the other a violation of the naval regulations, ‘The specifications refer to the writing of a letter by Commander Coghlan to the editor of the Vallejo Chroniclefrom Honolulu criticising the administration of naval affairs in general and that of the navy yard at Mare Island in particular. This letter was printed in the Chronicle and copied in several eastern journals, creating a good dea of comment at the time. In the letter Commander Coghlan abused everybody im authority, apparently, and this, together with some of his subsequent utterances, forms the basis of the charges, The court is composed of the following offi- cers: Commodores A. E. K. Benham and John Irwin, Capts. Geo. C. Remey, John C. Watson, John W. Philip, Commanders Louis Kempff and Nicoll Ludiow and Lieut. Commanders Thos. Perry and Chas, H. Stockton, with Lieut, Wm.

The President will in a few days issue a pro- clamation warning all persons against entering the waters of Behring sea within the dominion of the United States for the purpose of violat- ing the provisions of section 1956 of the Re- vised Statutes. This section enacts that “No person shall kill any otter, mink, marten, sable or fur seal or other fur-bearing animal within the limits of Alaska territory or in the waters thereof; and every person guilty thereof shall, for each offense, be fined not less than two hundred nor more than one thousand dollars, or imprisonment not more than six months, or both; and all vessels, their tackle, apparel, fur- niture and cargo, found engaged in violation of this section shall be forfeited, but the Secre- tary of the Treasury shall have power to au- thorize the killing of any such mink, marten, sable or other fur-bearing animal, except fur seals, under such regulations ax he may pre- scribe, and it shall be the duty of the Secretary to prevent the killing of any fur seal and to provide for the execution of the provisions of this section until it is otherwise provided by law, nor shall he grant any special privileges under this section.” Interior Department Changes.

Lincola of New York, $1,000 to $1,200, 600. Walter D. A Neglected Opportunity. “While McCalla is talking about his strict discipline,” said a naval officer to a Stax re- porter the other day, referring to the troubles into which Commander B. H. McCalla has fallen through his late unfortunate cruise on the United States steamer Enterprise, “why did he not order under arrest the lieutenant whom he ordered to cut down the man Walker with his sword, and who very properly refused to do so? That was a direct act of insubordi- nation, punishable with the severest penalty, an act that should have raised the captain to a pitch of righteous indignation if he was such a stickler as he seems to want to be considered. If he was at all consistent in his discipline he would have ordered that man in suspension and had him court-martialed) There would have been far more ground for such a step than the suspension of Kline and Entwistle, both of whom have good deteuses.” The Chiricahua Indian Prisoners. ‘The post surgeon at Mount Vernon barracks, Ala., reports for Fepruary that the health of the Chiricahua Indian prisoners bas been bad. Among other diseases there were sevent¥-four cases of influenza. There was one death of an adult male from consumption and one birth, There are now left seventy-eight men, one hundged and sixty-five women and one hun- dred and forty-seven children. The children are all under twelve years old.

WHERE WILL IT BE? It Looks as if Washington Would Slip Out of the League. BLUNDER ABOUT THE ANGELUS Hammond, of Cleveland Street, Threatens to Go Home. FRICHTFUL MISSISSIPPI RIVER FLOODS. WASHINGTON TO GO OUT. The Drift of Expectation at the Buse Ball Meeting in Cleveland. CieveLanp, Ouro, March 5.—One of the first magnates to put in an appearance at the Wed- deli house this morning was John T. Brush of Indianapolis, The morning session of the league meeting had been called for 10 o'clock and Brush was evidently determined not to be caught napping. At a few minutes before 10 he came down into the corridor from the dining room. He took a hasty survey of the people who were sitting or loitering about the lobby, and discovering none of his colleagues except Magnute Scandrett of Pitts- burg, probably thought it would be safe to take @ little stroll. Accordingly he sallied forth, but three minutes later he hurried back to the hotel and took another glance around. Two or three magnates had arrived by this time and Brush concluded to put up his overcoat. Half a dozen burried turns through the corridors failed to allay his nervousness and then the Hoosier magnate betook himself to the meeting room, where he remained until the third ses- sion was called to order, Manager Leadley of the Detroit club unwit- tingly betrayed the secret of Brush’s anxicty when asked if there was any probability of a transfer of the Washington franchise to the city of the straits by saying: “+I am afraid not. It looks to me as if there would be only eizht clubs in the league this vear, Washington wants to sell and we are anxious to buy, but I've made & good many inquiries during the last twelve hours and I am constrained to believe that we bave not much hope of getting in. The gen- eral desire is for an eight-club league and in spite of all that has been said to the contrary I am about convinced that Indianapolis and Washington will go out.” Secretary Scandrett of the Pittsburg club seems to think that the schedule committee an- ticipated the sale ot Washington's franchise to Detroit when it drew up the recommendation providing for an equal division of the mileage expenses of these two clubs. “You see,” he said, “if Detroit was to take Washington's place Pittsburg would be thrown into the eastern group, and the consequence would be a greatly increased milage expense. Under the present division of the clubs Pittsburg has much the best of it, for when the western clubs go east we have a shorter distance than any of them totravel. Butif we were to be putin the eastern division we would have to do some very lively hustling to jump around with Boston, Brook- lyn and New York, and our mileage would be much larger than that of any other club. This equal division of the mileage will of course..do away with the tions that we would otherwise be compelled to raise against being transferred to the eastern ag ip. However, I think this scheme to divide a expenses equally is a very good one, no matter whether Detroit takes Washing- ton’s place or not, and I am ro law that something like it was not thought of long ago.” Although the delegates were all on hand shortly before 10 o'clock there seemed to be no desire to begin business in a formal manner. When onkod, what was the cause of the delay one of the delegates said: -'Well, the truth of the matter is we don’t want to run any risk of getting into a squabble. These people are all sharp business men and they are not going to put their feet in it, you may rest assured of that. There are some knotty problems to be solved and they will all be disposed of on the outside, so that when we go into formal session everything will be calm and the sailing correspondingly smooth.” TWO ANGELUS PAINTINGS. A Doubt Raised Against the Genuineness of the Famous Picture, Cuicago, March 5.—The Daily News under the heading ‘‘A Sensation in Art” publishes an article tending to throw doubt upon the gen- uineness of the painting *“L’Angelus,”attributed to Jean Francis Millet, now on exhibition in this city. It is pointed out that the cyclopedia of paintings and painters, issued in 1887, states that at that date the “Angelus” was owned by Mr. W. T. Walters of Baltimore. The Daily News then quotes the history of the painting as given by its present owner, the American art association, notes the name of Mr. Walters is not mentioned among former owners, and points out that the account runs over the period between 1885 and 1889, during which, according to the cyclo- pedia, Mr. Walters was the owner of the famous painting. The article continues: The question now is: How and why and when did Mr. Walters dispose of his “Angelus?” No one knows of two “Angelus” paintings. Yet if Mr. Walters’ “Angelus” recorded in the cyclopedia isthe “Angelus” now on exhibition here in Chi- cago it must’ have been sold some time apteg 1889, for in that year, so we are told, . Jas. T. Sutton bought the “Angelus” for exhibition at the Secretan sale in Paris. When did the sale of Mr. Walters’ picture take place? — Certainly a painting as famous and much ad- mired as this one would nut e hands without any one's hearing about it. Mr. Walters still own his “Angelus?” If so the painting now on exhibition in this city is only replica, Did he sell it to the Secretan collec- tion or direct to his friend, Mr. Sutton? Then is that $110,600 purchase on behalf of the Amer- ican art institute a myth? Mr Sutton must know Mr. Walters’ collection by and this fact in itself casts icion uj the valid- ity of the $110,600 purchase. It would be strange indeed if he shouid give such a sum for a mere replica, But then, taking the other horn of the dilemma and supposing that Mr. Walters parted with the paint , not attach- ing any special value to it, it would be equally strange that Mr. Sutton did not buy the “Angelus” direct from Mr. Walters, Strang- est of all it wouldseem if, after being exhibited in every city of the United States, the “Ange- lus” should be repurchased by Mr, Walters at a serious advauce, say $150,000, and find its way | sradigg its old place in the gallery at Balti- THE ORIGINAL SKETOH 18 IN BALTIMORE.

LAND LEAGUE SECRETS. Some Explanation of the Movements of the British Government. Curcaco, March 5.—The statement of the London Times this morning about P. F. Sheri- dan of Colorado was shown to Thos. Brennan, ©X-secretary of the land league in Ireland, who is now in Chicago. After reading it Mr. Brennan said: “This utterance of the Times fully confirms Sheridan's aff- davit, which I got from him last April and which showed the efforts of the Jimes to man- ufacture evidence against Parnell and his friends. Had Sheridan goue to London, as the Tumes now says he could have done, and toid, not what the Jimes wanted, but the truth, they would instantly have clapped bim into jail. “With regard to the ietter of introduction which Mr. Davitt publishes, he has only this much to say: ‘I saw that letter from Devoy to Egan and Egan sent it over by the same Messenger that also took Sheridan's affide- vit, The man who acted as messenger was James Rourke, who came to Chicago from Dub- lin by way of New York, and received Sheri- dan’s affidavit from me to be taken back to Dublin.” > MET HIS D WITHOUT PAIN, Death in London This Morning of Min- ister Lincoln’s Son.
