Kearney has been detached from the Rich- mond and granted three months’ leave. Departure oF SECRETARY Biatve.—Secretary Blaine and the members of his family left by special car on the Pennsylvania railroad for Bar Harbor this afternoon. Mr. Blaine has not yot determined upon the length of his stay in the north, but the members of his family will take up their residence at Bar Harbor for the sum- mer, Tue Porrawatomre Reservatioy. — The Secretary of the Interior has received informa- tion that the absentee Shawnes Indians, living on what is known as the Pottawatomie reserva- tion in Indian territory, have agreed with the Cherokee commission ‘to sell their surplus lands in Indian territory to the government. The Indian bureau holds that neither the Shawnecs nor the Pottawatomies, who occupy this reservation jointly, have any title to the land, but they make a claim, and in order to secure undisputed title the’ commission, by this agreement, promises to pay them a lump sum of $65,000 and the Pottawatomie Indians 160,000. Impontant Decision as to INDIAN Tr¥nER Laxps.—The timber lands held by the Indians in Wisconsin and other parts of the west have been objects of interest to lumber men for some time. Heretofore the Indian Depart- ment, through the Attorney General, has held that the Indianscould not sell their timber, not even the dead timber, standing or fallen, ‘The erection of saw mills on these lands under leases from the Indians was also not permitted. Attorney General Miller.however, has rendered a decision which holds that the removal of dead timber, particularly when standing and threatening the safety of trees near it, is a benefit and not a waste, He also holds that a license can be made to allow an outsider to erect saw mills on Jands owned by Indians, Under this decision the Indian Bureau can give permission to the Indians to sell dead timber and also to make a revocable contract for the erection of saw mills on their lands. Anmy Orpers.—The following changes have been made in the medical department: Capt, S.Q. Robinson relieved from duty at the Mili- tary Academy and ordered to duty at Fort Du- chesne, relieving Capt.

Senator Berry's AllegationsAgainst Various Officials. See SHORT SESSION OF THE HOUSE. a SENATE, Messages from the President as to Indian lands in Kansas; as to postal and cable com- munication between the United States and the Latin-American states; as to the celebration of the fourth centennial of the discovery of America, and as to the agreement between the Cherokee commission and the Iowa Indians in the Indian territory were presented and re- ferred. Mr. Allison moved that the adjournment today be tiil Monday, Mr. Edmunds and Mr, Sherman opposed the motion, aud Mr. Plumb and Mr. Gorman adyo- cated it and it was agreed to. Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: Senate bill granting certain lands to Mile City, Mont.. for use as a public park. House bill to discontinue the coinage of the #3 and $1 gold pieces and of the three-cent nickel piece. House bill to provide fora new design of authorized devices of United States coins, House bill giving a pension of $50 a month to the widow of Rear Admiral Radcliffe. Senate bill appropriating $50,000 for the im- provement of the road between the Chain, Aqueduct and Long Bridges and running in frogt of Arlington Cemetery, TO PURCHASE THE MALTBY HOUSE. Mr. Sherman offered a resolution, which was referred to the committee on public buildings and grounds, instructing that committee to in- quire into the expediency of purchasing the Maltby House (corner of New Jersey avenue and B street) for the use of the Senate. MR, PLUMB IN SEARCH OF INFORMATION. Mr. Plumb offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the Secretary of War for information as to whether articles were being manufactured at any of the national militar; homes that come in competition witl private enterprise, and, if so, the reason and authority therefor. Mr. Plumb also offered a resolution directing the Secre- tary of the Interior to inform the Senate whether he has knowledge of the guar- antee, actual or proposed, by the Union Pacific Railroad Company, of the bonds or stock of any other corporatioa—more especially those of the Oregon Navigation Company and of the Denver and South Park Railroad Company; whether the Union Pacific Railroad Company has paid out of its surplus earnings or otherwise the indebtedness, or any part thereof, of those or other companies; and, if 80, whether such guarantee or payment (or both) is in accordance with law and consistent with the obligations of the Union Pacific Rail- road Company to the United States. Mr. Edmunds suggested to add to the reso- lution the words, “and that the Secretary of the Interior communicate all information in the possession of his department on the subject.” Mr. Plumb accepted the amendment, WHAT MR, BUTLER WANTS TO KNOW. Mr. Butler—I would suggest that the Secre- tary of the Interior also report if he has any knowledge why the Senate does not proceed to the consideration of the report the select committee on the Pacific railroads, I would like to have in- formation on that —_ subject. ‘That select committee ere a good deal of time aad work in getting all the data and report. For same cat is understand, the Senate does not consider it, I suppose the caucus has acted on it. r. Edmunds, responding to the cross obser- yation of toe Senator from South Carolina— I say that the caucus has not acted on it, Mr. Butler—The Senator speaks of my being cross; I am as amiable as a May morning. MR, EDMUNDS X BLICAN DISREGARD OF ACTION, Mr. Edmunds—Certainly. But when the Sen- ator is the most amiable he is generally the cross, To the best of my knowledge and belief no assemblage or other arrange- ment or discussion of republicans has any relation to or consideration of the subject which the Senator refers. Speaking ag one republican, now, and not for the rest of our gradually diminishing numbers, I wish to say that l think that the trouble has been that Senators on this side have not stood by caucus action in the Senate, in spite of endless talk on the other,and perhaps some considerable talk on this side and go on with business, As to this particular resolution I wish to say that Twould be glad to have it embrace a call on the Secretary of the Interior to know whether or not his department is in posses- sion of information and papers showing that at least one of those gov- ernment railway companies (as they are called) has, ever since the passage of the Thurman act, again and again deliberately disobeyed the plain and positive injunctions and prohi- bitions of the act in respect of increasing its obligations aud making dividends under cir- cumstances which the law forbade. I should be glad to know all this, but I will not interrupt the resolution of the Senator from Kansas at this moment by proposing that further inquiry, Mr. Butler—I suggest to the Senator from Vermont that the information which he seems 80 anxious to get he would get by the disous- sion of the report made by the chair- man of the select committee (Mr. Frye). It is understood by that select committee that the report was to be called up and dis. cussed and disposed of in some way or other, Ihave no special choice about it; but havin, devoted a great deal of time to the subject thought it proper that Congress should take some action upon it, FIRST THE FACTS THEN THE SPEXCHES. Mr. Edmunds—The question cannot be con- sidered until the facts are known. When the discussion of the report of the select commit- tee in relation to the settlement of the debt (ag some people sre audacious enough ‘to call it) of these railr to the United States comes up we should be in possession of some facts bearing upon what ought to be done. If it be true that, in spite of positive laws of Congress, with pen. alties imposed, there is not, and has not been, force enough in administra- tion” of the governmentglgeither under democratic or republicgN@Rauspices, to compel these companies the law or to punish their officers who dtlibérately disobey it, [do not know that there would be any use iu passing a settlement bill at ail if it then de- pends upon the will ofeach company whether ‘tue settlement shall go on or whether it shall be broken. XR, VEST ON THE CAUCUS COMMITTER, Mr. Vest—The question is not as to what is in the report, but as to why it has not been con- sidered. It has been intimated by the Senator from Vermont that there has been some sort of obstruction on this side of the chamber to the order of business of the Seni If there has been I have not seen any indication of it It is well known that the order of business is controlied by a caucus committee, of which the Senator from Vermont is either the chairman or the controlling member. The i port rests with that com- mittee and with the qoute | of the Senate, ‘The resolution was ed to, to take alist of them was again brought up by Mr. Berry, who pont to the clerk's desk and had read a letter sent by these attorneys, M.W. Combs & Co., to the clerk of Columbia county, agreeing on a usd ailaic J ‘snvanablo te. j Ark., offering to supply patente in that county for $4 eac! of which fee the clerk was to retain @1); a letter from Wm. Stone, assistant commissioner of the general land office Leg eee ee ea | to this firm extending such facilities to it; a jletter from Cyrus Bussey, Assistant Secretary {of the Interior, certifying to the reputable character of the fir ‘nd s dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Demoei from Vandalia, Ii, on the subject, Mr. Berry said that if any ex- planation could be given of that transaction or auy excuse for that most scandalous conduct on the part of these officers he would be glad to hear it, There were 250,000 of these undelivered patents and this firm would at the low rate mentioned in its letter to the county clerk of Columbia county wrench a million of dollars from cit- izens unjustly and without uthority. He un- derstood that one member of the firm, Thos. HH. McKee, was an officer of the House of Rep- resentatives, THE MATTER DISCUSSED AT LENGTH. Messrs, Teller, Paddock and Cockrell partici- pated in the discussion, the former stating that the possession of the patent was not essen- tial toa man’s title, Mr. Paddock stating that under the present administration of the Gen- eral Land Oftice the number of undelivered atents had been reduced by some 70,000, and r, Cockrell denouncing the affair as a mere speculating blackmailing scheme. Senate bill to establish a United States land court and to provide for the settlement of pri- vate land claims in certain states and territories was taken up. explained, and advorated by Mr. Edmunds and discussed until 2 p. m., when the unfinished business was taken up, being the two POSTAL AND SHIP SUBSIDY BILLS. Mr. Vest continued his argument against the bills. IMPORTANT NOMINATIONS, Consul General to Paris and Other Diplomatic Appointments. The President today sent the following nom- inations to the Senate: Adam E. King of Maryland, United States consul gencral at Paris. H.N. Allen of Ohio, United States secretary of legation to Corea. Charles Heath of Massachusetts, United States consul at Catania, Italy. é James J, Paterson of West Virginia, United States consul at Merida, Mexico. HOUSE. Mr. Lodge (Mass.) asked for a reprint of the federal election bill as passed with marginal notes, Mr. Rogers (Ark.) demanded the regular ofder, Mr. Lodge suggested that there was no necessity to get cross about the matter. Mr. Rogers retorted that the House had had enough of the bill, whereupon Mr. Houk (Tenn.) suggested that the democrats might get more of it, ‘The request was not acceded to. Mr. Dorsey (Neb.) asked consent to offer a resolution requesting the President to return to the House the bill extending the time of payment to purchasers of land of the Omaha tribe of Indians in Nebraska, but objection was made, CONFERENCE REPORT ON THE DISTRICT AP- PROPRIATION BILL. Mr. McComas (Md.) presented the confer- erence report on the District of Columbia ap- propriation bill. After debate and pendinga vote on the con- ference report the House, at 1:45, adjourned till Monday. see THE ATKINSON BILL. Mr. McMillan Inclined to Let It Take Its Turn in the Senate. In the Senate the McPherson-Atkinson Penn- sylvania railroad bill slumbers on the calendar. fo a Sram reporter who made ‘some inquiry about it this afternoon Senator McMillan, chairman of the subcommittee in charge of the bill. said that it was not his intention to call the measure up for consideration. He thought it would be reached within.s reasonable time if let alone. Although Mr. McMillan may not do anything to hurry up consideration of the bill it is not improbable that some other Senator will endeavor to lift it off the calendar. Those opposed to the bill are not saying anything ust now, but there will undoubtedly be a good deal of debate when it is called up. Several repub- licans of promimence are going to fight it from start to finish, and there is apprehension among the friends of the bill lest the measure be crushed in the Senate after it squeezes through the House; for it is generally believed on the Senate side that it will ultimately pass the House, THE DISTRICT BILL SUFFERED. It Went Over Because the Democrats Were Mad. The democrats in the House were in avery bad humor today. The passage of the federal election bill has provoked them to uncompro- mising resistance of the majority and they have declared that nothing shail be done by unanimous consent, and that nothing shall be passed upon by less than a quorur:, Unfortunately the first thing to come in their way when their heads were set for a change was the conference report on the District appropriation bill and they went at it bull fashion, There was no op- posion to the report worth talking about, but they made the point of no quorum on general principles and secured an adjournment. They may get over their mad after a while or they may keep it up for the rest of the session. THE HOPE OF DEMOCRATS. They Intend to Keep the Tariff Issue at the Front. The feeling among the democrats in the House is that it is the purpose of the republi- cans to use the elections bill as an irritant to attract attention from their tariff bill, They say that the republicans with that bill as their platform cannot afford to enter the campaign this fall with tariff as the issue, and that it is their purpose to arouse as much sectional bit- terness as possible, so that they can fight under the bloody shirt, As far as it is in their power to do so the democratic leaders propose to hold the majority up to the tari: juestion, and to force them into the campaign lefending the McKinley bill, With this issue they are entirely satisfied that they will have a large majority in the next House, whether or not the federal election bill becomes a law. They are pl d with the nomination of Pattison in Pennsylvania. chiefly because the think it is an indication that Mr, Cleveland wil have the delegation from that state at the next demotratic convention.
