The Bill For Aid of Oaptain Hads' Project of a Ship Railway. Miscellaneous Notes of a National Character. CONGRESS. National Associated Press PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUMR. Wasminetox, D, C., March 4. —The house passed the bill establishing a term of United States court at Wichita, Kansas, and extending the district of the United States court over of Indian territory, The bill provides that portion of said ter- ritory west of the civilized tribes and north of the Canadian river and now in proximity to a railway and accessi- ble to the courts at Wichita and Fort Scott, is attached to that jurisdiction; that portion west of the civilized tribes and south of the Canadian river con tingent to Texas, to the jurisdiction of the court at Graham, Texas, The bill authorizing the directors of the mints to exchange standard dollars for trade dollars was called up and unanimous consent asked for its passage, but under obj:ttion by Mr. Randall it was passed over. The house took up again the con- sular ahd diplomatic bill, and Mr. Hiscock spoke briefly in reply to Mr. Hewitt's speech last 'Thursday, saying credit should be given Mr. Rcbinson (N. Y.) in regard to the act of 1868. Mr. Cox (N. Y.) spoke briefly, say- ing this act was due to the support of both parties. The record of the democrafic party, however, had ever been that of the kindest relations to naturalized citizens. Mr. Robeson (N. J.) said there had been a good deal said in the discus- sion of this bill abut the relations of the political parties of this country toward foreigners, and proceeded to argue that the history of the repub- lican party showed it had been the friend of foreign-born citizens. He referred t> the treaty of Ghent as the creation of men whose principles decided the republican Elrty, men- tioning among them the name of John Quincy Adams, To this Mr. McLean replied Adams was a demograt. Mr. Robeson replied that at least| he did not represent modern democra- cy. There is a difference between democracy as it once existed and de- mocracy of to-day. Grant was a democrat, but fought thegprinciples of modern aemocracy on fields made glorious with the bloed of mil- lions. Regarding the question of American citizens imprisoned abroad he said it was the duty of this country to see that speedy trial is granted them, and he believed it would be done. Mr. Cox in reply asked the gentle- man who had so kindly referred to Grant and who was a member of his cabinet, if he would favor us with some extracts from his message upon the question of expatriation. To this Mr. Robeson replied that he could not. Mr. Cox, requesting permission to ask Mr. Robeson a question, asked if Mr. Hoar's bill, the predecessor of the Bancroft treaty, which wronged our German citizens, came from Grant and if thq Bancroft treaty, which caused the naturalized German citi- zens of this country returning to Ger- many to lose their American citizen- ship’after two years in_that country unless reporting to certain offizials for permission to further remain, was ap- proved by that admnistration, Mr. Robeson replied that the author of the Bancroft treaty was a demociat and had always been, Mr. Hazleton (Wis.), who sat near Mr. Robeson, also volunteered a rather vociferous reply to Mr. Cox, to which Mr, Cox replied that he was ad- dressing Mr. Robeson and it was not courteous that Hazleton should inter- rapt in this manner, Mr. Hazelton replied Mr. Cox was himself interrupting. Mr. Cox responded, it was only by the consent of the gentleman to whom he had put a question (Robeson) that he had interrupted. He had a right to his interruption, Mr. Robeson, continuing, said the cause of opp! American citizens in British prisons had lost much by the inconsistency of the leaders who had championed it. There had been too much of sentiment and gush and too little of dealing with facts. A real statesman deals with facts as he finds them. Foreign born citizens and the interests of labor generally maust look for protection to the party which has indicated its sympathy wit] labor and with the laboring man and not to the party which had for many years held laborers in chains and de- graded labor by associating it with slayery. Mr. Cox replied that Mr. Robeson does not dare defend this legislation which came from his party—the Ban- croft treaty and all its injustices, by which the rights of American citizens were withdrawn in this unjust man- ner, o far as the opinion of the for- eign element regarding that party and the gentlemen, who had just spoken in regard to its relation fo them, is concerned, & 1esolution of the land league which recently denounced him, reply. Thisis an old -ubg'ecb over ain, the federal deviltry of the time :f John Adams and alien laws. The man who embraces the democratic arty as other than as a friend to the fnm.m opulation of the country, falsifies history and will be convicted of it by the people. The entire afternoon was spent on the bill, and it was finally reported to the house without material change. Mr. Springer (Iil.) offered an amend.- ment, reducing the number of foreign representatives of the government and enlarging the field of those remaining aocordingly, but it was voted down. The report of the committes on elections, dismissing the case of Smith against Robertson, Sixth distriot of Louisiana, was passed. The house adjourned at 8:15. st PITAL NOTES Natlonal Assoclated Pross. THE BADS SHIP RAILWAY, Wasnivarox, March 5. —The sen- ate commeroe committee devoted five hours yesterday to the consideration of the Eads ship railway project and instructed Senator Vest to report the bill with some amendments to the senate, The bill gives the guarantee of the United States for 6 per cent. dividends of $50,000,000 of the $75,- 000,000 stock of the company, the guarantee , to attach as the work pro- gresses, and $5,000,000 when a vessel of 4,000 tons 1s carried inward ten miles and return from one terminus and $5,000,000 when the same is done at the other terminus. In default for the nonpayment of interest the amount paid as the government guarantee is to be good for the payment of tolls after fifteen years. For the guarantee thus given by the United States, mails and vessels are to pass free, and American merchant ships are to pay but half the tolls paid by other na- tions except Mexico. There was no dissent on the resolution for the biil to be reported to the senate, but some of the members of the commit- tee reserved the right to offer an amendment to or dissent from certain portions of the bill when it comes up in the senate. This was moie on ac- count of a desire for a more careful examination than actual hostility. THE HENNEPIN CANAL. The Towa and Illinois congressional delegation met the house committee on railronds and canals last evening, by invitation at the Ebbitt house, for the purpose of exchanging views as to the propriety of construction of the Hennepin canal. Secretary Lincoln and Senator David Davis were pres ent. Several speeches were made and great interest was manifested by all concerned. CONKLING, The president’s mail has as yet brought no reply to his letter inform- ing ex-Senator Conkling of his con- firmation as associate justice of the United States, and the presdent stated to-night that he had nothing to communicate on the subject He had a long conference with Senator Jonss, of ilev-dn, to-day, after which the latter said he (the senator) knew no more about it than the reporter who had applied for information. Still later this evening one of the president’s household said if President Arthur has received Mr. Conkling's declination, as reported, it did not come by mail. The last letter to the president from Conkling was cp another subject two weeks sgo. The president said last week that when the matter was settled he should let it be known, and when ho says there is nothing to be said it is generally looked upon as fair to think that Conkling intends to wait until he receives his commission signed in due form before making any siga. It is rumored here to-night that the correspondence between the president and Conkling has been carried on by private messenger, and that the final result will known officially to-morrow. MISCELLANEOUS, The members of the democratic congressional committee, as chosen by delegations, are as follows: Messrs, Barbour (Vmg{, Cassidy (Nev.), Clark (Mo.), Cox (N. C.), Davidson (Fla.), Deuster (Wis.), Evans (8. C.), Flower, (N. Y.), Hardenberg (N. J.), Hern- don (Ala.), Jones (Ark.), King (La.), Martin (Del.), McLane (Md.), Morse (Mass.), Phelps (uonn.), Randall (Pa.), Rosecranz (Cal.), Singleton (Miss. ), Thuxwmn (N. Y.), Town- send (Ill.), Wellborn (Tex.), and Wheeler (Ala.). Pennsylvania being entitled un- der the new apportionwent to one more than herpresent num- ber of representatives, an earnest effort is being made here to secure the nomination a8 representative-at-large of Wm., H, Kuntze, who represented the Somerset district in the Thirty- ninth and Fortieth congresses. The president yesterday signed the commission of Sargent to be United States minister to Germany. He will probably sail for Europe early in May, The house committee om Indian af- fairs yesterday heard a delegation of chiefs of the Miami and Peoria In- dians relative to the allotments of lands in the Indian territory in sever- alty to them, The same commuttee agreed to re- port favorably the bill drawn by the secretary of the interior accepting and ratifying the agreement with the Shoshone and Bannock Indians for the sale of a portion of their reserva- tion in Idaho required for the use of the Utah & Northern railroad and an appropriation of $6,000 for the pur- ose under terms that will admit of installment payments, The commit- tee has under consideration several oTors of land and i» inclined to acoept. Representative Bland, of Missonri, made an argument before the coinage, weights and measures committee yes- terday in favor of a branch mint at St. Louis, Mint Director Burchard was also present and in a general wa, approved the establishment of a branc! mint in the Mississippi valley, with- out designating a preference for any particular locality. Twenty-five hunpred star route pos- tal contracts, aggregating az.wo,&)o, and tlilmbutulguwr the entire coun- try, were yesterday awarded by See- ond Assistant Postmaster General Elmer. Beveral of the indicted star route ringsters got some of them, Col. Boone, one of the principal ringsters, being awarded contracts amounting to over $200,000, A Frand National Associated Pross. Kansas Orry, March 5. A sensa tion has been ereated hero among po- lice and county officials by the fact that George Snlgp.rd, ex-guerilla and bank robber, Who claimed to have shot Jesse Ja the notorlous ont- law, at Joplin, Mo., just after the Glendate train fobbery of 1870, had proved a traitof through all that trou- ble. Shep knew the James Brothers wel and offered to go among them and lead them into ambush, where they were to be killed or ocaptured, His offer was a¢ , and for several woeks he wrote latters to the detec- tives, and at Jast a special train over the Fort Soott milway carried a posse of men to Gialens, Mo., where a bank was to be robbed. The day previous to the talked of robbery Shepperd came tearing into Galena on horse- back, claiming to have killed Jesso James, saying the yang became sus- picious of him. _ He wa. himself shot clear through the left leg below the knee, and said two members of the band followed & mile; Cummings hitdhit him. The report '}:“ believed, and evel in the countr, sounded ryshplp.‘"l_. praise But 1’0, has become public that all the time Shepperd was ing in with the robbers, and thit a scheme was en. tered into wh the officers were to be made to k that Jesse was killed, and the large reward for his body dead' or alive could be obtained by ird anddivided with Jease, In order $oaquare himsel{ with the officers, Sh had to be slight- ly wounded andhe deliberately held out his leg and allowed Jesse James to shoot a ball through it. The plan to get the reward failed and Shepperd, who has been h8nging about Kansas City ever since the reported shooting, has admitted thek'whole thing was a put up job and says he would no more shoot Jesse James than he would his brother, Thief Sent Up.

PITTSBURG ATEEL WORKERS, Pirrssura, Pa., March 6.—Tho sit- uation at the Homestead steel works remains unchanged. The strikers hold possession of all points of en- trance te the mill and thus prevent any from going to work, The sheriff sent up fifteen more deputies last night, making his total force seventy- five men, who are powerless to pre- vent any oxpected disturbance. 1t is Mliavet{thu quietness of to-day is but the lull that preceedes a storm, and further disturbances may be looked for. The proprictor of a boarding house called ‘“‘Castle Garden,” the rondezvous of many of the scab workmen, fearing the strik- ers will carry out their threat to burn the building, has moved his family and household goods to the county pcor house nesr the scene of action. Fitty colored men from Staunton, Va., brought here to help the man, 'refused to go any farther than.McKeesport, five miles from Homestead across the river. Thoy slopt in the waiting room last night. The proprietors of the Homestead works, who aro interested in seven oreight other P traburg mills, heed not the amalgamated society’s threat to inaugurate a eneral strike and will fight it out to the last. They will invoke the aid of Governor Hoyt. A meeting of all the delegates of the different lodges of the amalga- mated association of iron and steel workers of this association was held at Moran’s hall last hight to discuss the mituation at Homestead. Two hundred delegates were present, and it was unanimously decided to order a strike in all the mulls in this ' city whose proprietors hold stock in the Pittsburg Bessemer steel company at Homestead on and aftor next Saturday the 11tL inst., unless these proprietors bring about some settlement of the difficulties now existing at the Homestead works. The mills referred to are those of Tinger, Nimmick & Co., Hussey, Howe & Co., Wm, Clark & Co., and the Su. perior rail mill, The Oliver wire mill owned by Harry Oliver, who made such a strong canvass for the nomina- tion as Umted States senator from this state by the republican caucus a year ago, is also included. The em- ployes of this mill were discharged be- cause they were members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, These five establish- ments employ 4,000 or 65,000 men, MipxiauT. —Later news has reached the city from Homestead that armed men from points up the Mon- onaghela river are coming down and crossing the river, with the intention of terrorizing non-union men. Organ- ized resistance will be made, and the whole may end in bloodshed.

The car was to have proceeded along this division last night. Thompkins, the division su- perintendent, was sept for and on guaranteeing the payment of wages by Monday the car was allowed to pro- ceed.
