They began moving there yesterday morning and by night all of them were hidden away in that region, which the best scouts describe as being worse than'the lava beds in which the Modocs took shelter.These Bad Lands begin at the mouth of Wounded Knee creek, of which so much has been heard of late, and which is the gathering point for all these hostiles and where the ghost dance started upon this reservation. They run 110 miles northeast to southwest and about fifty miles east to west. It is an utterly barren region of precipitous canons and fantastic and ghostly formations. Few white men are acquainted with the region, the Indians, however, know- ing it thoroughly. ‘The fact that it is poceible | for the Indians, when once established there as they are now, to continue making raids upon the settlers adjoining the Bad Lands will cer tainly, it would seem, induce the soldiers to pork ‘into ithe region after this big thieving band of rebels, notwithstanding the fearfal chances to be ineurred.

New Yorx, Dee. 1.—The stock market began the new week this morning with an active busi- ness and a decidedly weak tone, Lackawanna being down from Saturday's closing prices 13-8 per cent, Sugwr refined 144, and Jersey Central, Rock Island and Louisvilleand Nashville, each, 1 per cent, the other losses being generally from 1-2 to 7-8. In the early trading, in addi- tion to the opening losses, Union Pacific Northern Pacific preferred each 1 per cent, and. | fractions, though St. Paul, Atchison and Chicago Gas retired 8" per cent’ At the lowest hour, however, the market displayed little or | | no recuperative power, and while there was showed any inclination to recover. Later there was another material decline all along the list, in which Lackawanna and Chi- | cago Gua were most prominent and the losses in | the active stocks from Saturday's figures ex- tended in Lackawanna end Union Pa- cific to 25% and 2% — per cent, respectively, "with the — others from 102 percent. The activity was principal in St. Panl, Lackawanna, Union Pacific, Atehi son, Chicago Gas, Northern Pacific preferred, and Louisville and Nashville, the rest of the list being comparatively quiet. At 11 o'clock the market was still active and weak at the lowest prices reached. AN UPWARD TENDENCY. Money was easy at 4a5 per cent. ‘The trans- actions in the tock market showed the usual diminution after 11 o'clock, and while there was only small fluctuations the tendency of prices was upward. All life diseppeared from the market and the improvement over the low- | est prices was confined in all cases to small | fractions. No feature of any kind marked the | trading. At noon the market was dull, feature- leew and stagrant at fractional recoveries from | the lowest prices. |.

LOCAL LEGISLATION, Chairman Grout and Mr. Atkinson Say of District Bills, BOTH THINK A GOOD DEAL OF NEEDED LEGISLA- TION FOR THE DISTRICT MAY BE GOT TuROUGH ‘WITH THIS SESSION—GENATOR INGALLS HOPE- FUL FOR THE DISTRICT. From everything that can be learned on the first day of a session, the second round of the Fifty-first Congress will be a very active one, so far as the District of Columbia is cogeerned. Nearly all the members of the House _District committee are on hand and on Friday next the committee will come together and commence the work of the session. Members this morning expressed the belief that the District would obtain all or wearly all of the regular days and that during the session a large number of measures would be disposed of. THE ATKINSON BILL IN THE ROAD. As was the case during nearly all of last ses- sion the famous Atkinson, Pa., railroad “bill stands as a menace to D'strict legis- lation. The House bill with numerous amend- ents stands at the previous question stage in tho House, while the Senate bill, with many Jess emendments, in the interest of the Dis trict, has passed the Senate and rests on’ the re table. The House bill in Present | shape ix’ bad enough for the District, but the one favored by the Senate is much worse, and it is Possible that » movement will be made in the Honse to substitute the Senate for the House ill. A PARLIAMENTARY QUESTION. Itis a parliamentary question whether the Senate bill can be taken from the Speaker's table without reference toa committee. Last session the Speaker ruled that bills could not be taken from the table in this manner when it was necessary to consider them in committee of the whole. ‘As it was also decided last session that the railrond bill must go before the committee of the whole it would seem impossible to take the Dill “directly from. the Speaker's table. It is argued that it would be preferabl 4p the Senate bill, ait couid be considered ont of District time and would not keep back other District measures, and that now with a full House the District would fare much better than they did with a slim House. There are a good many District bills on the House calendar and plenty of work is cut out for trict days. WHAT CHAIRMAN GROUT SAYS. Mr. Grout, the chairman of the committee, said to a Stan reporter today: “Oh, yes; I think it will be a very active session for District affair, which at present are in a very blocked condition. Last session considerable was accomplished, but the Penn- sylvania railroad bill was a tremendous dra on District legislation. ‘This sorkion the bill in some way or other will be out of the rond and the District days will probably be devoted to the transaction of egitimate business. What plan will be adopted in regard to the bill as it stands or whether e Senate Dill will i place the Honse are a on which little can be said at prevent. Ihave not as yet had a chance to consult with any one in regard to the matter, having ouly arrived im the city Saturday even ing. Yes, I think we will be able to pass lots of District Dilla before the 4th of March. As to the bills which will first be passed noth- ing has as yet been decided. Everything is all right in Vermont and 1 don't feel very bad over the election. We were beaten on account of republican apathy and through — the mistake in ny the MeKinley bill so soon before clection. Lies travel a good deal faster than truth, and the lies circulated in regard to the McKinley bill would fill a library. ‘the truth, however, is bound to catch up in the end and long before "92 the peo- ple will have realized the great benefits derived rom the bill and the effect will be an over- whelming republican victory.” WHAT 3B. ATKINSON SAYS, Mr. Atkinson, the second member of the Dis- trict committee, was in his sent this morning, | and was also sanguine of fan active | ssion in regard to District affairs. “Ihave not had a chance as yet,” said the gentleman from Pennsylvania,"“to con- sult any of my colleagues on the committee, and can only make guesses as the future Pigceedings. | L| presume the Honse ill in’ regard to the Pennsylvania will d. ‘The district is quite full and a strongand vigorous be made to clear it.

Already has Chair- man Ingalls called a meeting for Friday next at 10 o'clock and then a program will be de- cided upon. Interior Department Changes.

There was nothing more disturbing in the sen- atorial atmosphere up to within a few minutes of noon today than a languid description of careless expectancy. But few people occupied seats in the galleries and they chatted unob- trusively right up to the moment when the chaplain took temporary possession of the Vice President's throne and from that point of van- tage sent up his appeal for all that the Senate will need during the present session. Of excite- ment there was none at any time. Senators arrived slowly and generally they kept off the floor until nearly noon. They con- gregated in the cloak rooms and indulged in reminiscences which were flavored strongly with November 4. Everybody—Senators and employes alike—greeted each other with ex- treme cordiality, and, for a time, party lines seemed to have no existence. SENATOR VOORHEES’ UNIQUE FLORAL TRIBUTE. Attracting more attention than anything else on the floor was the floral figare—somebody called it a floral decoration—which covered the entire surface of Senator Voorhees’ desk. Thore was nothing idolatrous in the design, for it bore no likeness to anything in the heavens above or the earth beneath or the waters under theearth, Adircular base of roses supported a cone of green and white immortelles, in which were worked "the words *D. W. Voorhees, Indiana.” On top of this was the sickest-looking imitation of arooster ever sen in any campaign. ‘The design wasan amusing conceit, but tion was much more laughable. The feathered Mormon was, if anything, of the brahma breed, a variety of chicken more famous for running than fighting. The donors of this remarable and mirth-provoking production subscribed thempelves ona card_as C. Ki. Faulkner, F. G. Jones, Geo. F. Curtis, E. Hannegan and J. OTHER SENATORS FLORALLY REMEMBERED. Other Senators were florally remembered. Senator Sanders’ desk had on ita small bunch of roses—three varieties and three colors. Senator Frye was the recipient of a nice bou- quet. Senator Harris smiled at, his friends overa pretty conglomeration of La France roses and imidenhair fern, Senator Higgins was not forgotten. He was in some sense a champion of Mrs. J. C. Cole and her bay win- dow, and Mrs. Cole's gratitude found vent to- day in yellow roses and yellow ribbon. GETTING READY. About two minutes before noon, according to the new mechanism in the Senate clock, the cloak rooms were vacated and their occupants moved out to where the general public could see what they looked like. By this time the gulleries were fairly well-filled, Lut there was nothing like a crowd anywhere. A vacant field of blue was the diplomatic gallery, not a single representative of either monarchy or re- ublic gracing the occasion with his presence. Fhe presidential and vice presidential pews were both empty. AT PRAYER. ‘The session did not open with much audible senatorial prayer. Chaplain Butler concluded his petition with the Lord’s Prayer, and it has always been customary for quite a number of Senators to join their religious adviser in the vocal procession. Today there was none of. it, except for a few miufied sounds which acute ears said issued from beneath the snowy monstache of Senator Edmunds. The other statesmen may have been ipa de) quite fer- vently, but it was an internal performance not caleniated to impress the spectators with the idea that Senators were deeply religious. OPENING PROCEEDINGS. ‘The swearing in of Senators Carey and War- ren of Wyoming was speedily accomplished, and it didn’t take Cary long to draw the long term and Warren the short one. A, {¢¥, of, the Testo “seaaiutions were eiGdtritad adopted, and then at 12:20 the Senate took a re- cess until 1:30. Fs HAND SHAKIXG. Then followed such a time of general hand shaking as is only seen once a year at the Capi- tol. Democrats and republicans fraternized 28 though they had all repented of their trans- grcesions and joined the Farmers’ Alliance. Ft was a heart-warming exhibition of brotherly love with just an occasional dash of political sarcasm thrown in. ‘The absentees were Senators Aldrich, Brown, Call, Eustis, Farwell, Hampton, Hearst, Jones (Ark.), Jones (Nev.), Pettigrew, Pierce, Pugh, Hanson, Stewart, Squire, Turpio and’ Wilson fa). THE WYOMING SENATORS’ SEATS. The Wyoming Senators have selected their seats. They had four to chose from and took the two nearest the center. Senator Carey will be at the left hand of Senator Power, while Senator Warren will be on the left of his col- leagne. This leaves the two end desks for the Idaho Senators who have not yet been elected. A screen will protect th chilly air which will steal through the door- ergcks. Senate Regular Report. Immediately after the chaplain’s prayer in the Senate the credentials of the two Senators- elect from the new state of Wyoming were pre- sented by Mr. Hoar, and when they were read the two Senators, Mesers. Carey and Warren, were escorted to the Vice President's desk by ‘Messrs. Stanford and Hoar and took the onth of office. A drawing by lot to decide their re- spective terms took’ place, tho shorter term, closing March 8, 1899, falling to Mr. Warren, und the longer one, closing March 9, 1895, to r.

Speaker Reed him Sutas one democrat who might bot be ine boautful mood walked slowly up to him. “How is it,” Reed said, “that California republican? Ser ae “Because,” _ re} democrat, “Speaker Reed did not take the stump there.” “I wan there once," said Mr. Reed. “I remember,” retorted 3 “I got two thousand Democratic majority that year.” ‘Then they both laughed good naturedly. CALLED TO ORDER. About two-thirds of the members were present when Mr. Reed solemnly walked up the steps to his desk, and, with a look on his face that forbade any levity, hammered the desk and said: “Pho House will be in order.” Silence slowly came over the House. there was went each other. MR. BRECKINRIDGE SWORN IX. The first incident in the House was the an- nouncement made by Mr. Rogers that Mr. C. R. Breckinridge was present and ready to be sworn in, having been re-elected to fill the vacancy caused by his own unseating. The democrats loudly applauded the announcement and the credentials were sent to the clerk's desk and read. When Mr. Breckinridge walked up to the desk to be sworn in there wasa prolonged burst, of applause from the democratic side, which ‘was again renewed when he had taken the oath. ACT oelock the house took a recess for halt an hour. House Regular Report. After prayer by the chaplain in the House the clerk proceeded to call the roll of members by states. The roll call disclosed the presence of 227 members, and the clerk was directed to inform the Senate that a quorum of the House had ap- peared, and that that body was ready to pro- ceed to business.
