THE ADMISSION OF WYOMING, Mr. Platt gave notice that immediately after the consideration of the silver he would ask the Senate to consider the bill fot the admis- sion of Wyoming as a state.

The House legislative, executive and judicial appropriation Dill. The Pennsylvania for money expended in 1864 for the militia called into the military service under proclamation of the President, PASSED. House bill for the establishment of new har- bor lines in Portage lake, Mich., was reported and passed. THE DEPENDENT PENSION BILL. Mr. Davis presented the conference repott on the dependent pension bill, and at the request of Mr. Cullom proceeded to explain. After some discussion Mr. Plumb suggested that the matter should lie over until the report was printed with the bill, as it would be if the report was agreed to. Mr. Davis gave his consent, butsaid he would have to be absent a part of next week, Mr. Goriman asked Mr, Davis to make astate- ment as to the probable cost of the bill. Mr. Dawes said that when the bill was first before the Senate he had estimated its cost at $35,908,000. He thought that the changes made would add about four millions to the cost. His own opinion was that the bill would add between forty-one and forty-two millions a year to the present cost of pensions. The report went over and was ordered printed with the bill, as agreed to by the con- terenoe, THE SILVER BILL. The Senate silver bill was then taken up, and Mr. Evarts addressed the Senate, HOUSE, The Speaker laid before the House a letter from Mr. Mills of Texas resigning his member- ship on the committ:e on rules, to which he was appointed yesterday. The resignatiou was accepted and Mr. McMillaa of Tennessee ap Pointed to fill the yacancy. ” THE ANTI-TRUST REPORT REJECTED. The vote was then taken on agreeing to the conference report on the anti-trust bill and re sulted, 25—56. Mr. Stewart (Vt.) raised the point of no quorum and the Speaker being unable to count @ quorum a call of the House was ordered. A quorum having appeared, the conference re- port was rejected, 12—115. Mr. Stewart then moved a further conference with instructions to the House conferees to re- cede from the House amendment. THE TROUBLESOME AMENDMEN This amendment provides that every con- tract or agreement entered into for the pur- pose of preventing the sale or purchase of any commodity transported from one state or territory to be sold in an- other or #0 contracted to be sold or to prevent competition in the transportation of persons or property from one state or terri- tory into another shall be deemed unlawtul within the meaning of this act; provided that the contracts here enumerated shall not be construed to exclude any other contract or agreement declared unlawful in thiis act, As agreed to in conterence this amendment was made to read: “Every contract or agreement entered into for the purpose of preventing competition in the transportation of persons or property from one state or territory into another, #o that the rates of such transportation, may be raised above what is just and reasonable, shall be de- clared unlawful in the meaning 6f this act. And nothing in this act shall be deemed or held to impair the powers of the several states in respect of any of the matters in this act men- tioned. THE NEW CONFERENCE ORDERED.

Mr. Henderson (Iowa), from the committee on appropriations, reported an urgent defi- ciency bill appropriating €8,708,000 for the payment of pensions and $8,075,000 for- ex- penses of the eleventh census, Passed, eaSeone OUST NO BIDDERS RESPONDED: The Government May Have to Build Its Tugs Itself Bids were to have been opened at the Navy Department at noon today for the construction of three steel steam tugs for the United States navy. The appropriation is $35,000 for cach tug, When the time came for te opening of bids one envelope was‘ at hand, marked ‘Proposals for tugs,” and when this was opened it was found to be an offer from the Red Star Towing Com- pany of Baltimore to sell one of their tugs to the government for about €32,000, but this could not be considered. There wére several builders present, who were much amused at the lack of bids, They said that no one could be found to build tugs such as were called for for that money, es} the steel has to pass the government tests. One firm stated unofficially that they could build such tugs for $30,000 each if they could use steel at the ordinary commercial tests, which are not quite so severe as those pre- scribed by the artment. Nothing ne be been decided as begets “a course of the department in the case, w! the tugs will be readvertised with modified stipulations or whether the allowance will be increased, It may be that the boats will be built at the New York and Norfolk yards.« A Payment on THE New OnsgrvaToR¥.—Bec- retary Tracy today approved the beat § of Contractor McLaughlin for the fourteen yment on the new naval ee which e is now building on the hts of this city.

Tea ne) fom nave nese Ae a, enate bill to indemnify the state of | cept in return for labor in putting up TO STIR UP LAZY LO. Acting Commissioner Belt Proposes to Make Him Work for His Rations. There has been a good deal of criticism and complaint in regard to the poor quality of the beef furnished to the Indians. The govern- ment has been attacked because of the alleged frauds practiced upon the poor Indians in this respect. There is, however, another side of the ques- tion ,which has been very tersely presented in a letter of instructions to Indian agents which has been issued by Mr. R. V. Belt, the acting commissioner of Indian affairs. Mr. Belt say: “that the management of the Indian service is often severely criticised and injustice alleged against the Government toward the In- dians because lean and poor beef cattle are slaughtered and issued to the Indians. The no disputing the fact that when the e purchased they are in excellent con- dition and that the Indians have ample graz- ing lands upon which the cattle can feed and gain flesh so long as the grass can be obtained, and in many cases there is an abundance of grass on the reservations that can be cured and fed to the cattle when the ground is covered _ with ow and when the weather 1s severe, preventing the cattle from procuring their own food. If the Indians will allow this abundant supply of provender to go to waste without supplying a sufficient quantity to feed their beef cattle to keep them in good condition for beef they have no just ground for complaint that they receive beef of poor quality.” Reference is made by Mr. Belt to the act of March 3, 1875, which provides, for the purpose of inducing Indians to labor and to become self- supporting, that the Indians be credited for work performed upon the reservation in the distribution of supplies. This law is now en- forced except in cases of tribes which have been excepted from the operations of its pro- visions by the Secretary of the Interior, as he has authority to do. Mr. Belt asks the opinion of the Indian agents as to the practica- bility of enforcing an order which will require that during the entire haying season no able- bodied Indian between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years should receive rations ex- ay to feed the beef cattle for the tribal benetit or in laboring for themselves, Also, that the Indians shall be given to understand that in the fall distribution of supplies and clothing it shall be understood that discrimina- tion will be made in tavor of those who work faithfully and against those who have been lazy and indifferent. Mr. Belt thinks that if the purpose of these new instructions can be carried out that the Indians will have no just ground of complaint against the government. The In- dians = have beens fora number of yeurs past leasing their lands to cat- tlecompanies for grazing purposes. Under the order of the Secretary of the Interior all such leases will terminate in October ne and the cattle belonging to outsiders will re- moved from the reservations. The Indians then can make use of their grazing lands to feed their own cattle. COUNTING THE PEOPLE. Work on Population Returns Com- menced at the Census Office. The first returns of the new census were re- ceived at the Census Office yesterday. The re- sults of the work of the enumerators in seventy-five districts of New York city came in and this morning Mr. Dingman, the supervisor for the District, sent in the returns from thirteen districts of this city. Some of the enumerators in this city completed their work on Tuesday and when Mr. Dingman was notified today that the Census Office was ready to begin the work of counting he at once fur- nished al! the returns he had on hand. There are returas from nine additional dis- stricts which are completed and which Mr. Di.gman will send in today. He expects to- receivea larg» number this evening and to- morrow, and before Suturday,which is the last day of the time allowed, he thinks that the complet» 6 uras of the District will be in the Census Office. Owing to the fact that many of the districts in New York city are quite small the supervisor there was able to make a good showing in the first installment of returns sent by him to the Census Office. THE ROUGH COUNT. As soon as the census schedules containing the returns were received at Superintendent Porter's office a large force of clerks was set to work in making what is called “the rough count.” This is done mainly by machines, invented by Mr. Hollinth, who is also the patentee of the large — tabulating machine which will be used in the census work. Itis somewhat on the same principle Nas that of the typewriter The keys represent families in accordance with the census sched- ules. At the top of each schedule is noted the | number of members in the family. ‘There are families of two, three, four and so on up to twenty and beyond. The clerk in charge of a machine will have the sched- ules of a certain district. As he glances at the first schedule he sees that the family euum- erated contains five members. for example. He touches the proper key, which records ove on the proper dial. When he has finished with the schedule of the district he reads off the dials and finds that there are so many families containing five members or ten members as the case may be, and the entire number in that district is readily ascertained, This count is verified, TO BE COMPLETED SOON. As fastas the returns come in the rough count is made and soon afterall the returns are in Superintendent Porter will be able to announce the general results of the census as to the total population. The machines in use are now being operated in the paper ware- house rented by the Census Office on North Capitol street. ext week they will be removed to the Inter- Ocean building on 9th street near F, which has ime been completed.

There tre now four compani of cavairy at Tongue River in command of Maj. Carroll, and three companies of infantry from Fort Keogh are on their way to the same spot, due to arrive Friday. There are 900 Cheyennes on the reservation and about 2,000 Crows on the adjoining reservation, but the latter are peace- able. The settlers have strongly objected to the Cheyenne reservation, and there have been frequent taunts made that the Indians would soon be cleaned off. The result has been to keep the Indians and settlers at dagger points and to foment auy trivial difficult. “-1h doubt,” said the general. the ground is easily able to cope with the Indians in case of an uprising, which, however, I do not anticipate.

The World’s Fair to be Located on the Coolest Spot in Chicago. Cuicaco, June 12.—The Times asserts that the world’s fair directors have practically de- cided to locate the exposition on the lake front. An organized effort has been made, it says, to clear the lake front of all its objection- able features by coming toa definite under- standing with the Illinois Central railroad, and that with thisend in view ail the projects, so far as the site is concerned. have been Jeft in abeyance. The formal proposition was made to the railroad officials yesterday. Should it be ac- cepted it is said that the railroad company will abandon its present tracks along the lake front, and leaving the lake shore at 22d street it will run out into the lake as far as the gov- ernment pier, thence north just iuside the breakwater to @ point opposite the foot of Randolph street, and thence west to its depots, ware houses and elevators. Inside of the pro- jected new tracks @ massive stone wall will be erected, high enough to shut out its tracks from view from the Luke Frout Park. This wall is to be terraced to the westward and ornamented with plants, trees and flowers, so as to present an attractive appearance. Should the proposed plan be carried out the world’s fair site will extend from Randolph street south to the present Illinois Central pier, at the foot of l4th street. In consideration of the permanent right of way and the depots at the foot of Randolph street, acquired by the railroad, it is proposed that the company shall fill in the basin from 22d street to 14th street. ‘The special merit claimed for this scheme is that it will afford the city one of the most beautiful 4 in the world, and that, too, in the very heart of the city. It will further forever settle all litigation as to the ground. QUITE A DOCUMENT. The Constitution of the Lower Cali- fornia Filibusters.
