THEY ARE MOST ANXIOUS ABOUT THE REAPPOR- TIONMENT AND WILL OPPOSE ANY DILL BASED ON THE RETURNS OF THE ELEVENTH CENBUS— THE PLAN OF THE REPUBLICANS. The democrats do not want an extra session of the Fifty-second Congress next spring, and they may be depended on not to adopt a line of policy designed especially to make such # ses- sion necessary. take up the appropriation bills and hurry them forward, the indications are that the democrats will lend them assistance. Messrs. Sayors and Mutchler, the two democratic members of the appropriations committee in the city, express the opinion that the appropriation bills will all be passed and that there will be no delay about their passage, unless the republicans brush them aside to take up the consideration of other matters. TWO BILLS TO BE DEFEATED. There is a very strong determination on the part of the democrats, however, to defeat both the federal election bill and the bill for the re- apportionment under the eleventh census, and itis not improbable that both measures may be defeated unless there is a change of legislation methods in the Senate. ‘The anxicty to defeat what they would con- sider a partisan apportionment bill is even greater than that to keep the federal election Till from resurrection, It is not. believed that the Senate can do anything with the latter meas- uro, but since the election the democrats are not’ as anxious about its operation should it happen to become a law. They do not —_believe that it would be operative, and it is understood that they have a plan to prevent its having any effect on the presidential election, even should it be passed and an attempt be made to make it effective in the congressional contests. ‘The plan is said tobe to change the manner of choosing electors in the southern states, having them selected by the legislatures instead of at the polls on the day of the general election in November, the election of the legislature hav- ing this power to occur before the general elec- tion. ‘This would be constitutional and would take the presidential election in these states out of the supervising carc of the federal elec- tion law. The congressional election would, of course, occur under the law #0 far as it was operative. MORE ANXIOUS ABOUT THE APPORTIONMENT. But the democrats are much more anxious about the apportionment. They question the correctness of the census itself in the first place, and in the second place suspoct the re- publicans of designing to so manipulate the ap- portionment as to put the democrats at a dis- advantage. ‘They profess to believe that there was no attempt at an accurate enumeration of the population of the whole country, and that, consequently, they have been deprived of a gain of some fifteen or twenty Congress men, which they expected. They expect that’ the republicans will attempt to cut them ont of several other Congressmen by the method of reapportionment, and they are prepared to enter into # vigorous and pro- racted exhibition of “kicking.” An investiga- tion of the mothod of taking the census will be demanded by the democrats soon after Con- gress meets, and every effort will be made to Prove to the public the correctness of the as- sumption of unfairness in the census, If the republicans of the House regard the “whip” sent out from the White House urging their at- tendance upon the sessions of the House, und Mr. Reed succeeds in holding a quorum of his own party, nothing can be done to prevent th passage there of such an apportionment bill as the majority decided upon, but the absence of a quorum of their own will be fatal to their plana, But the democrats believe that they can prevent the passage through the Senate of any apportionment bill which they regard as unfair. — REPUBLICAN PLAN FOR LEGISLATION. There are other measures besides the appor- jonment and election bills which make it de- sirable for republicans to have a full attend- ance of their purty. They have constructed their program for this session on a pretty large plan and it will take hard work and prompt- ness to carry it out. It is regarded by some of the leaders as very important that’ the two steamships subsidy bills and several railroad and lund bills be pussed during the session, and there are many other measures on the calendar which they are anxious to get rid of. The chancesare, while the demo- crate will not try to defeat the appropriation bills for the purpose of necessitating an extra session, that all of these bills wil! receive very full discussion, the purpose of the minority be- ing to show that the republicans have been ex- travagant. ‘This and the defense of the ma- jority is liable to take up considerable time. The pension appropriation bill and the defi- ciency for pensions will provoke particularly earnest discussion. ANOTHER FREE COINAGE PROPOSITION. The silver men will be on hand with another proposition for free coinage. The battle over the compound lard and pure food bills prom- ince to open up etively: Mr. Blair has his labor bills still before the Senate, and Mr. Ed- munda’ anti-Mormon bills, the revenue marine transfer, the bill for the relief of the Supreme Court, the bankruptey bill, the copyright Dill and many other measures of greater or less im- portance will put inaclaim for time during the session, DRY_DOCK BIDS. Trouble Over Deciding Who Shall Build the Dock at Port Royal. There is an interesting problem being solved at the Navy Department in connection with the award of the contract for building a dry dock for the government at the naval station at Port Royal, 8.C., for which bids were opened some days ago. The whole matter hinges upon the fact that the highest bidder is the only one of the lot who has ever built or attempted to build a dry dock. He has had long experience, his firm, the Simpsons of New York, having constructed the Norfolk, New York and Phila- delphia docks for the government, and his bid of about £495,000—the limit is '$500,000—is, known to be a fair one, judging from what he has received for his other contracts. ‘The other bidders, one of whom is a Wash- {ington bricklayer and builder, have had, 20 far as has been ascertained, no experiences ‘in the line of constructing water-tight boxes for re- pairing ships, and, fe this. is an art thot is ¢x- emely delicate, their bids, although consid- erably lower than Simpson's, are being scruti- nized with great caro. It has been predicted that if the contract should be given to the low- est bidder he would ‘throw it and forfeit his tee before the wor! was half finished ‘Tho construction of dry docks is a business that requires great skill, for ‘the least flaw of construction renders one use- dena, Tho Pacific Mail Company had a bitter experience afew years ago with a chea| dock. - A bid of about £800,000 or leas was no cepted from an inexperienced firm and the result is that the dock has never been emptied of water. Another difficulty in the case arises from the fact that the most generally used patents are owned by the Sim sons, and they refuse to let them be used by other firms. ‘The bids were examined by a board of civil engineers of the navy who ha just submitted their report, which is being ex- and —————— ‘The Post Office Site. In the condemnation proceedings for square No. 828 (C and D, 11th and 12th streets) for site of the city post office nothing hasbeen done since the return of the marshal. He has served notice of appointment on B. H. Warder, John T. Lenman and J. A. Hamilton. Mr. Warder is expected to return to the city tomorrow, when likely some action will be taken. ‘Winter Helmets for the Police. ‘The contract for furnishing the winter hel- mets for the police was awarded to a Washing- tonian named Moore at 2.98, but as there was ‘a patent on the hat to be furnished he learned that he could not furnish them at the price ‘The firm of C. J. Heller in Philadelphia will now furnish the hat at @2.50. ———_. In the Court in General Term Edward Bowers of on motion of Black, was admitted to the bar. A.

Representative Clements of Georgia is one of the Intest arrivals in the city. Mr. Clements is one of the democratic members in the present Honse who will not have a hand in the legis lation of the Fifty-second Congress, having been beaten for the nomination by an alliance candidate. His successor may prove good and capable man, but will find it hard work tolive up to the reputation which Mr. Clements has made here.

Journal Clerk Smith Does Not Think it Will Be Contested. Mr. Harry Smith, the veteran journal clerk of the House, is thoroughly well versed in all sorts of politics and,if porsible,u little better up on Michigan than any other state. He was asked today concerning the talk of a contest for Mr. Burrows’ scat in the next Congress. “The situation in the Kala- mazoo (Mich.) district «is. simply this,” said Mr. Smith: “Mr. Burrows has on the face of the returns a plurality of 344. ‘The alle gution is made that the polls were kept « two precincts in Cass county after 5 0 clo: that in one case the ballot box was not sealed, as the law required. It is alo alleged that in Van Buren county some Indians were illegally voted. As to the imp. tation of negroes from Indiana and the dozing of white demoeratic voters, that rum out ofa jocular remark of Frank ‘and there is absolutely nothing in it. Mr. Burrows’ opponent has stated his intention of not contesting the election on any technical grourds and there seems nothing elac to found @ contest on.” THE DENTISTS AND THS CENSUS. Supt. Porter Explains the Idea of His Bu- reau in Regard to Them. ‘The dentists throughout the country seem to be afraid that they will be misrepresented by the census office and will be classified as manufact- urers under the eleventh census. In a resolu- tion passed recently by a dental society it is claimed that “‘Denistry is a liberal profession and a branch of the healing art and in no sense @ manufacturing business.” On being shown this Superintendent Porter said: “I know that just as well as they do and, 80 far as the census office occupation tables are concerned, all dentists will be classified as pro- fessional men.” He added that the objections which are being argued by dentists agai cluding as manufactures any part of their op- erations seemed to arise from misapprehen- sion or misunderstanding of the real object or intention of the office. Itis not the purpose = the office to include in the tables of m ia such as plates,crowns, caps &e., whic factured wholly or in part ontside of the m and afterward inserted. There can be no doubt that such features of the profession are clearly within the limits of the census inquiry relating to productive industry,and as such are under the law to be included in the tables of manufac- tures. To omit them would be doing a serious injustice to the industries of places like Phil- adelphia, Baltimore and other cities where this branch of manufactures is such an important element. Not only so, but all this information was collected for the tenth census without a single complaint being made, and included such items as number ‘of establish- mente, capital invested, number of hands employed, wages paid, materials used value of products. “I feel sure,” added the superintendent, “‘that the dentists of the country, as soon as they understand the pur- se of the office in this matter, will see that it js really to their advantage and to the benefit of their profession to answer the questions on the schedule sent to them, and in doing so they cannot in any way impair the high positi they now hold among the professional men of this country.” AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. ‘The Widow of Patrick Ross Now Entitled to a Pension.

He is also accused of steal- ing a wagon load of beef on the last issue day. SCARING THE INDIANS. Something of a scare was occasioned when the water call was sounded last night. The cavalry has been going to a creek about half a mile from the post to water the horses. Along this creek during the last twenty-four hours a vil- lage of ghost dancers’ tepces has sprang up. Last evening the black troopers mounted their with carbines loaded an cartridge belts ‘Then under command of a lienten: hors: as, Squaweai the tepees, while y mounted their ponies and fle hills," But the troopers hud only crossed in or- der to turn and go back tocamp. ‘This maneu- ver excited the village, which was soon repeo- pled with Indians.

It may be that this will settle the matter without trouble, a fight. Special Agent Cooper thinks that any pretext may be seized upon by the Indians for Forcing the issue. DANCING SUBSIDING. The dancing is dying out, but he is not sure whether it is treachery or obedience that is causing the cessation. A number of Rosebud Indians are here without passes and their pres- ence bodes no good. All are unanimous in their assertions of good will, but they are care- fally measuring the strength of the troops the while. ‘The Little Wound, one of the leaders of the ghost dance, has refused to come into the agency, saying that if the agent wanted to see him he'must call at the Little Wound’s tepee. At present it isatos+up between peace and war. ERVOUS AT THE AGENCY. At Medicine Root, White River and White Clay the dancing still goes on and the Indians are not inclined to come to the agency for any pui Here at the agency the general feel- ing is a nervous one. Nearly every one agrees that there will be trouble. The Indians as- sembled here probably number 800 or 900.
