JONES OF ARKANSAS. ——__— SENATE. Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: The House bill making an appropriation to construct a road and approaches from Cul- peper, Va., to the national cemetery near that place. The House bill to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to procure and snbmit to Congress proposals for the sale of the western part of the Crow Indian reservation, Montana. The Senate bill to extend the time for the con- struction by the Newport and King’s Valley Railroad Company of its road through the Silets Indian reservation. SARCASTIC MR. EDMUNDS. A resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Call directing the secretary of the Senate to pre- pare a table showing the number of bills intro- duced by each Senator and the number of them pa was takeu up, and Mr. Edmunds moved to lay the resolution on the table, remarking (ironically) that as the test of a Senator's value was the number of bills introduced by him, and as he tound that under that test he (Mr. Edmunds) Was not of much value, he wished to have the resolution lai¢ on the table. After an explanation by Mr.Call of his motive in offering the resolution the motion to lay on the table was agreed to BILL FOR THE ADMISSION OF WYOMING. The House bill for the admission of Wyoming asa state was taken up, and Mr. Jones (Ark.) addressed the Senate. He declared himself in favor of the admission of Wyoming and of all the other territories except Utah when they had sufficient population and sufticient wealth to justify their assumption of state governinents, But he was unwilling to see Wyoming admitted in the way now proposed. and he proceeded to state the reasons why. in his opinion, the pass- age of the pending bill would be exccedingly unwise, here had been no law. he said, passed by Congress or by the territorial legis- lature ‘authorizing the holding of a constitutional convention. It had been held at the instance of the governor, acting on his own sole responsibility. If the assump- tion of Mr. Platt yesterday were correct that there was a population of 125,000 in Wyoming, there ought tobe at the rate of one voter to every four persons (a fair ratio in the terri- tories) over 30,000 male voters in Wyoming,and perhaps as many female voters—aggregating some 60,000 voters. And yet the vote on the adoption of the constitution was only 8,175, and of that number 1,923 had voted against the constitution. He saw in the smallness of the vote the lack of interest felt on the subject in the territory and the proof that the move- ment was oue got up and sustained by only a sali minority. AGAINST WOMAN SUFFRAGE, The participation of women in the vote on the Constitution was another ground on which Mr. Jones based his opposition to the pending bill. Other grounds of bis opposition were the constitutional 1 ebpege | fur woman suffrage, for the holding . of real estate a alieng. and for compulsory education. He referred to a aph published in a newspaper fn dee rritory, which had been read in the House, and which he had never seen authoritatively denied, that in the “banner” county the election was held in the back room of a grocery, where three men put ballots into a cigar box till one of them said he was tired of putting in so many for one man and would now put in some for “the other fel- low.” In conclusion, Mr. Jones declared himself in favor of passing an enabling act for all the terri- tories, except Utah, and of admitting them as States after they had complied with the pro- visions of the act, and he moved, as a substi- tute for the pending bill, one for such an en- abling act. ‘MR. PLATT'S DENIAL. Mr. Platt, replying to an assertion by Mr. Jones that the reason for excluding New Mex- ico for admission as a state was that it was ex- pected it would send two democrats to the Sen- ate, denied that he had been actuated by any such idea. He said that, on the contrary, lead- ing republicans of New Mexico had been urg- ing its admission and had been assuring him that it would send two republicans to the Sen- ate. MORMONS’ VOTING WIVES. In the further course of his argument Mr. Jones referred to the wives of Mormons in Wyoming and Idaho voting, and said, in answer to Mr. Morgan, that he did not know how many wives cach Mormon had to vote with him. Coming back to the question of New Mexico, Mr. Jones permitted Mr, Payne to send to the clerk's desk and have read a statement recently submitted to the committee on education and labor by 4 delegation from New Mexico, and which set out facts of a in relation to the progress a that — territory. Among these facts were: That the territory of New Mexico contained an area of 123,000 square miles, a population of fully 200,000; 70,000 children of school age and an average attendance of 43,000 at the public schools, HOUSE, The House met at 11 o'clock today. Upon motion of Mr. Dunnell (Minn.), the House bill | with Senate amendments authorizing the con- struction of a bridge across the Mississippr river at Winona, Minn., was passed, LEAVES FOR POST OFFICE CLERKS, On motion of Mr. Ketcham (N.Y.), seconded by Mr. Flower (N.Y.), who said he could in- dorse the measure in every particular, the House bill was passed granting fifteen days’ leave to clerks in first and second-class post offices. Mr. Flower said that he could say from six years’ personal experience in post offices that no class of goverument employes were more deserving than these clerks, and he would also favor the passage of the bili making eight hours a day's work for post office employes. On motion of Mr. Chipman (Mich.) a bil was passed granting to school district No, 7 in the township of Dearborn, Wayue county, Mich., certain lots for school purposes. On motion of Mr.Hall (Minn.) a bill was also assed to construct a wagon bridge across the ississippi river at Hastings, Minn, ‘MB. LODGE ON THE ELECTION BILL, The regular order being demanded Mr. Lodge (Mass.) began the debate upon the na- tional election bill. He said that he did not think amore grave and serious subject had ever come before the House, It demanded serious and deliberate treatment, He had no per- sonalities or reflections to make, but desired to treat the question dispassiouately. ‘Lhe bi propose: to extend existing laws regarding the election of members so that they would be effective throughout the United States whenever the people wanted them so extended, He proceeded 7 the bill in outline. No local machinery was disturbed, he said; ballots were to be cast as at EE and no secret ballot system was to be terfered with where it now prevailed, OPEN AND ABOVE BOARD. Everything that concerns elections should be open. The business of the people must not be transacted in hidden corners, but openly and before the ening Star, bill. Under its terms concealment became ossible without a resort to violence, and violence was itself publicity. THE QUESTION OF CONSTITUTIONALITY. As tothe power of Congress to enact such legislation the Constitution and the decisions of the Supreme Court were absolutely con- clusive, The power was found in section 4, article I, of the Constitution relating to the time, place and manner of electing Represent- atives. It was not enough that elections were fair. They must be known to be fair. The ques- tion of expediency was s most important one. Ithad been charged that the bill was sectional, Observing the Recs sar certain persons and newspapers and their vehemence, he was led to remember that suspicion always came to guilty minds, The acts which it was proposed to extend had been called into existence by the gigantic frauds in the city of New York prior to 1870 and 1871. That certainly was nota sectional origin in the sense that the charge was now made, NEW YORK CITY CITED. Mr. Lodge gave a description of the state of affairs at that time in New York city, citing, among other cases, the tenth district of the sixth ward, where, he said, the democratic vote (after throwing out all of the other votes) was 884, or 14 more than the total number of every man, woman and child resident in the district. The legislation enacted to meet these frauds had been of enormous value to the cause of honest elections. There were other cities and districts where the law was needed, Investigation in one case had revealed in a patent-lock ballot box the cuffs and buttons of an inspector of elections. In his own state there had been complaint of the regis- tration system and accusations had been made that the lists were not right. If they were not right the bill would remedy the wrong. He did not believe that any body or party, honest in intention and purpose, would be afraid to have the truth and the whole truth known, The other side had criticized the FRAUDS COMMITTED IN NORTHERN CITIES, He would put the secret official ballot in use in every election district because he believed that was the only way to stop the use of money in elections. It must not be supposed that legislation against bribery must be national in ite character. The bill, however, went as far as possible toward meeting that evil. He asked the gentle- men who were so warm in their denunciation of corruption and bribery to unite with him in attacking those and other evils besetting elec- tions, AS TO THE SOUTHERN STATES, it was apparent that many people believed that great frauds were therecommitted. Ifthe belief that such « thing as a fair election in the south was unknown then it was high time the United States should put a stop to the evil, if it had to exercise every power the Constitu- tion put into its hands. Mr. Lodge presented a number of statistics to show the insufficiency of representation in the south, He said that in forty-one election districts in the south the members were elected by an average of less than 15,000 votes. He compared Mississippi and New Jersey,:where the populations in 1580 were equal in number. The total vote in Mississippi was 117,000; in New Jersey 245,000. In 1888 the total vote in Mississippi had dwindled to 115,000,while in New Jersey it had swollen to 303,000. No intelli- gent and fair-minded man would deny that there had been frauds in the north, and the proof was the efforts made there by both pattics to throw open the elections to publicity. it was not necessary to argue that southern elections were not always fair and free, Where wrongdoing occurred in the north it was where one party sought to get ahead of the other by vulgar means. As to the south it was largely A QUESTION OF RACE. ‘The negro problem was one of the gravest before the American people. It was one in which all were concerned and were responsible, whether living in the north or the south. The wrong of slavery was to be expiated by the north, which condoned it, as well as by the south, which upheld it, The negro was not forced on us hke the Chinese. It was idle to say that he was better off than if he had not been broughi te civilization. Better an eternity of savage liberty than a civ- ilization which came to them with the auctio: eer’s hammer in one hand and the slave driver's whip in the other. Such fidelity as the negro had shown to government and master deserved a better reward from the country—north and south—than it had yet received. The negro wanted no brutality on one side nor sentimentality on the other. The government which made the black man a citizen was acowardly government if it did not protect him in his right. A failure to do right brought its own punishment. The bili had been called revolutionary; the revolution was tobe found in the speeches he read— speeches which showed that the constitutional representation did not exist. The first step towarda SOLUTION OF THE RACE PROBLEM was to take it out of national politics, The national government extends to every citizen the equal rights which the constitution guaran- teed. In conclusion, he said: Let us do our whole duty to every American citizen—rich or poor, bluck or white, week or strong—and we can safely abide by the result, Let us secure to every man the liberty and freedom which is the corner stone of American liberty. “I would m ake men free, As much from mobs as kings, From you as me,” [Applause.} At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Lodge was warmly congratulated by his republican colleagues. et AUSTIN P. BROWN’S ANSWER. A Plea Filed by Him Denying Charges Made by His Divorced Wife. In the case of Clara R. Bell Brown against Austin P. Brown, in which complainant seeks | to have a decree of divorce made in December, 1878, set aside and asks a new decree, the re- spondent has filed plea by W. F. Mattingly and A. 8. Worthington. He states that she filed the petition in the former case and swore to the same and denies that her signature or oath | were procured by fraud or misrepresentation. He denies an alleged interview in which she offered to forgive the past if he would only give up Cora Brown, or that she threatened to get a divorce on the ground of adultery with Cora Brown and asserts that the use of the lat- ter’s name by the complainant is wholly malic- ious on the part of complainant and her state- ments in reference to her are absolutely false, without foundation and gross libels, known by complainant to be untrue. He denies that he told her that he would get her a lawyer and had telegraphed his friend, N. L. Jeffries, to come to Washington and look after her inter- ests and says she procured his services and sets out her letter to Gen. Jeffries. He denies that when the petition was prepared that he took it to the bedside and pretended to read it. He denies various other allegations and that she believed the decree was granted on accouat of adultery on his part. He asserts that his first knowledge of her desire to see the papers in the case was the service of the rule upon him for the return of the papers to the tiles, which was done,and says the scandalous affidavit upon which the rule was granted was stricken from | the files. He denies that it was in July or Au- gust last she first saw the papers and asserts =e she knew and fully understood the con- te, SBS ee Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issuee by the clerk of the court to W.

Chicago Feels as if She Had a National Convention on Hand. Curcaco, June 26.—The national movement | in connection with the World’s Columbian Ex- | position was inaugurated today. From an early | hour the rotundas and corridors of the prin- cipal hotels presented au appearance familiar to those who have participated in the national conventions of the great political parties, On every hand there were to be encountered men of national prominence in business life, in the Political world and in the arenas of statesman- ship and diplomacy. The Grand Pacific Hotel was the principal center and by 10 o'clock its spacious rotunda was almost impassable. Esch | of the states and territories was represented | by two delegates and the ten delegates at large appointed by President Harrison had all put in | an appearance by noon. At that hour the na- | tional commission was formally opened in the jarge club room of the Grand Pacific and the existence of the body became a matter of record A. T. Ewing, one of the commissioners from Illinois, called the commission to order on behalf of the Se retary of State, The Rev. Dr. M. Woolsey Stryker made the opening prayer and Mr. Chas, H. Deer,also commissioner from Ilinoi moved the election of —_ John 1. Harris of Virginia as temporary chairman. ‘The com- ion as a whole will first be called upon to decide two matters.-first, the question of site, and second, the suiticiency of the fund. Al- though the local board of directors have already practically decided upon the lake front and have opened negotiations with the Iilinois Central railway looking to joint action it is not at all certain that the national commission ill indorse that action. As to the question of the sufficiency of the fund there will be no dif- ference of opinion. If, in the judgment of the national commis-ion,’the amount subscribed or | to be subscribed is not regurded as ample for all purposes the board of directors will guar- antee to secure without delay as many millions more as may be necessary or desirable. A LITTLE POLITICS. The probable officers of the national commis- sion came in for @ good deal of canvassing this morning. Ex-Senator Palmer of Michigan seems to be everybody's candidate for pre: dent, The New York delegates have publi announced their intention of placing Mr. Depew in nomination, but in view of the vast interests which require his undivided attention it 1s not thought probable for a momeut that he would consent to occupy the position. For secretary energetic efforts have been put forth on bebaif of the Hon. Benjamin Butterworth and john T. Dickinson of Texas, and it is thought that the latter isin the lead. The meeting today is simply to comply with the statute and it does | not follow that permanent organization must | be effected at once. Under the law the com- missioners can, if they so determine, remain in continuous session until after the the fairshall have been accomplished” From noon today, moreover, the State De; has no control over the delegates. It has given effect to the law by the urposes of irtment | issuance of except to carry the mail.

Ixpranapouts, Inp., June 26.--The engineers of the “Big Four” system are still discussing the wage question in secret session. What the result will be can only be surmised. The care- ful and lengthened consideration they are giv- ing the matter causes the belief that a decision will be reached to ask for an equalization of the wages on all divisions of the road, and it the concession is not made by the company a strike is likely to follow. ———— Mountain Fires in Colorado.
