The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Morgan, calling on the Secretary of the Interior for information as to the lands of the Northera Pacitic Railroad Company and of other com- panies whose roads were not.completed within the period fixed by the granting act, was taken up, discussed and agreed to, Mr. Manderson guve notice that on Thurs- day, the 18th, he would ask the Senate to con- ler rcolutions in respect to the themory of the late Representative Laird of Nebraska, TRANSFER OF THE REVENUE MARINE. Mr. Gray gave notice that at the first con- venicnt opportunity he would move to take up the bill to transfer the revente marine to the Navy Department. RAILROAD LAND GRANT FORFRITURE BILL. On motion of Mr. Plumb the conference re- Porton the railroad land forfeitare bill was taken up, ‘The main proposition in the report is con- tained in the first section, as follows: “That there is hereby forfeited to the United States, and the United States hereby resumes the title thereto, all lands heretofore granted to any state or to any corporation to aid in the construction of a railroad oppo- site te and coterminous with the portion of any such railroad not now completed, and in ope- ration, for the construction or bencfit of which such lands were granted; and all such lands are declared to be a partot the public domain, Provided, that this act shall not be construed as forfeiting the right of way or station grounds of any railroad company heretofore granted.” 5 MR, MORGAN OPPOSED THE REPORT a5 8 log-rolling scheme gotten up for the bene- St of all the land-grant roads, He said that while the first section professed to be a for- feiture all the other sections related to sepa- rate railroads and exempted them from the tion of the forfeiture section or else secured to them certain pecuniary advantages. It could scarcely be said that thore was any land forfeited by the bill tothe government in consequence of the failure of the railroads to comply with the terms of the . eae grants. The most that could be said” o twas thatafow small railroads that had not got friends enough in the two houses to @tand up for them and hold up their hands were fo be crucified for the sake of glossing over @nd varnishing the false pretence of @ general forfeiture, ONE NOMINATION TODAY, Theodore M, Schleiof to Bs Consul at Amsterdam, ‘ i ‘The President today sent the following nom- ination to the Senate: Pheadore M, Schleicr of Tenniessee-to-be eopsul of the United States at ‘Amsterdam, HOUSE, As Speaker Reed entered the chamber this morning ata few minutes before noon he re- ceived a round of applause from the republi- oan side of the House and from the spectators in the galleries, but no other demonstration was made. After prayer Mr. O’Ferrall (Va.) made the Point that no quorum was present. The Speaker, without taking note of the point, Stated that the question was on ordering the | he quéstion on approving the journal of jesday's proceedings and directed the clerk fo call the roll. On ordering the previous question the vote yeas 87, nays 44—no quorum—and on motion of Mr. McKinley (Ohio) (amid demo- eratic applause) the House at 12:35 adjourned. A HINT TO THE ABSENTEES, Explanation of the Early Adjourn- ment of the House Today. ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR THE ATTENDANCE & BEPUBLICAN QUORUM TO DISPOSE OF T: LANGSTON CONTEST AND THE TARIFF BILL— USELESS TO KEEP THE HOUSE IN BRSSION. Speaker Reed has dotermined that it is neces- ary to have a quorum of republicans present in the House. When the House met this morn- ing Mr. Reed was in the chair, and received a cheering welcome from his colleagues, A vote was taken immediately on the motion for the previous question on the approval of the journal. No quorum was present and the democrats were prepared to renew their filibustering, but Mr. McKinley, who had been consulting with the Speaker, moved an adjournment and the Houso adjcurned promptly. THE PURPOSE OF THY REPUBLICANS in adopting this course is to impress upon the absentecs the importance of their immediate return, The Speaker sees the necessity of having a quorum ef republicans to act upon the tariff vill, and every effort is to be made to bring Cpa absentees back. ‘The House may adjourn from day to day without attempting any business until the ab- sentecs, impressed by this dramatic action to sephasise their delinguence, see fit to return and meke # quorum to do business.

Chairman Morrill said that he had no recollection of having made such a remark, and Mr, Sawyer also denied that it had been made, taking occasion also to denounce the oflicious outsiders who were seeking to inter- meddle and make bad feeling in the committee. BUTLER FITCH’s TESTIMONY, Butler Fitch was then called to the stand and testified that Bradley Tanner had spoken to him about the rofrigerator company prospects ina general way. Witness inferred from the conversation that he was going into it.as a business and repeated the story. Wit- ness also had the idea that the time spent by ‘Tenner in the Virginia trips was not to come out of his own time, To Gen. Raum witness said that Tanner never told him that he had stock in the company or had put any moncy in it, Witness had never told anybody that Tanner had said that he had stock, but told them that he inferred that he was interested. ba To Mr. Sawyer witness admitted that he had no recollection of anything specific that Tanner had said to give him the impression that he would not love the time spent in Virginia or that he had invested money in the company. Was a friend of ‘Tanner's; thought the stock was a good thing and assumed that if he had an opportunity to invest in stock he would do it; but didn’t know that he had. Tanner did not try to induce witness to invest. To Mr. Cooper witness said that he believed that Ty nner used the word ‘‘we” in speaking of the company. Did not tell Mr. Cooper that Tanner's testimony about the time consumed in his Virginia trips “made his check turn pale;” said he was “a little surprised,” but could not now recall anything Tanner had said to justify the assumption that he’ had used the time of the (> perrecaeer on his trips. Tanner had since told witness to tell the committee all that he knew. MR. COOPER ON THE STAND, Mr. Cooper said he had no more witnesses and Commissioner Raum, beginning his de- fense, asked that Mr. Cooper be sworn. In answer to the commissioner's questions Mr. Cooper said that his attention had first been called to the refrigerator company by the newspaper articles und afterward by Geo. B. Fleming. Had talked with half a dozen other persons confidentially, but did not care te give their names, Mr. Fleming had said that the preceding witness (Butler Fitch) had told him that seven Pension Office employes had bought refrig- erator stock. There was where the charge originated, which seemed to be corroborated by the newspaper articles, The commissioner said that Fleming was himself the author of the defamatory articles, Mr. Cooper said that the commissioner had given out an article himself, saying that he did not give his note to Lemon. The commissioner replied that he had de- nied that he given a note for $25,000, Mr. Sepdael remarked that he had set upa cave and then answered it. ‘The commissioner said that he had taken the ease which he found in the newspapers, KXOCKED powx. ‘Mr. Cooper anewered that he had been con- firmed in his belief in the charge by the com- tisstoner’s refusal to answer his question, but the charge rested upon Fleming's and Fitch's recy 8 It they were knocked out all right. ‘The commissioner replied that he thought ier had knocked themselves down. . Cooper wasn't sure but that if the books were produced the names of Pension Ofiice em- ployes would not be found and that Lradiey ‘Yanner had not been promoted for his services to the company. The commissioner again pressed Mr. Cooper for the names of his informants, saying: “I oe to get at the men who have poisoned your mind.” HE HAD SOME FEELING. Mr. Cooper thought the remark was grat- uitous, but excused the commissioner because ho had some feeling. Commissioner Raum—I should think I hada small amount of feeling when a min is trying to destroy my credit on false charges, Mr, Cooper—You have admitted part of them. Commissioner Raum—No. sir; I have not. Continuing, Mr. Cooper said Mr. MeCoiman, representing refrigerator stock, had spoken of the books in a way that led witness to suppose they showed crookedness, ANOTHER OUTBREAK. The investigation ran along quictly, and then again for a quarter of an hour there was another outbreak. Mr. Cooper was stillon the stand and had said that he had never seen the books of the company, when Mr. Flick sharply queried: “You kuow you aro on oath, don’t you? You have sworn a moment ago that you could take those booksand sustain these charges.” Mr. Cooper—I said I believed it. That sug- gestion of yours was ungentlemanly, cowardly and mean, is Mr. Flick—And I submit that yon are a dirty loz. Chairman Morrill endeavored to restrain the members, bat Mr. Flick added: “He had no Fight nor any other—to make that remark.” ir. Lewiy joined in to help out Mr. Cooper, saying: “Mr. Flick had no right to ask that question about his being under oath. It car- r in implication,” Mr. Flick denied any such intention, Mr. Lewis—You have no right toask a lawyer that question. Mr. Sawyer—Lawyers are more apt to wander than anybody else. Order having been restored Mr. Flick con- eluded the examination. FITCH RECALLED. The witness, Fitch, was recalled and posi- tively denied that he had told Fleming any of the things that Mr, Cooper had spoken of. In the course of the examination Commissioner Raum remarked: ‘The whole thing 1s a fig- ment of George B. Fleming, a discharged em- loye of the Pension Office, who has used Mr. Boa r—1 don’t say corruptly.” ‘The chairman again intervened. Mr. Cooper remarked that he was used to that, to which Mr. Flick res; 1: “You will learu to be gentlemanly your own de- “I am not afraid of you,” retorted Mr. Cooper, defiantly, ALL POPPY-cocK.
