Congress Closing Up Business Proliminary to Adjourn- ment, The Main Work Couvflned to Compromising Difference n Conference, Senate Decides, By a Party Vote. to Finisk the Tax Re- duotion Bill, The House Grows Hot Over the Sen- ate's Slow Work, CONGREBN., special Dirpateh to Tur bxx. ENATE PROCEEDINGS, WAsHINGTON, August 4.—Senator Windom reportel house foreign bill for the establishment of dipiomatic relativns with Persia, and aathorizing the appointment of a consul genoral to that country at a salary of $5,000. Passed. House bill to relieve certain soldiers of the late war from the charge of de- sertion was passed, so amended as to exclude from its bonefits those who served loss than twelve months, or who intentionally deserted. The tax reduvction hill was then taken up, 40 to 2, but was temporarily laid aside to enable Senator Slater to call up the conference report on the Indian Creek orphan fund bill. On the latter motion, Senators Cameron (Wis.), Ingalls, Saunders and Van yek, with Davis (LiL), voted aye with the democracs, The priocipal point in controversy on the Indian bill was the item of £1,000,000 for the support of the loyal refugees of the tribe, which the senate had voted to have charged againgt the Creek fund, and as to which the conferees reported that the money shall be paid by the United States directly ayd nothing in the act shall prevent the latter from being reimbursed hereaffer for the same by the Creck nation.; The report, after discuseion, was adopted. Senator Hale presented a conference report upon the naval appropriation bill and explained that argeements had been reached upon all items in dis- pute except that in reference to the temporary closing of the navy yerds and the transfer of perishable proper- ty and stores therefrom, and one authorizing the ?epm to be made upon additional lands and water front for the Norfolk navy yard. He said the house couference regarded the lessening uf the number of yards as the most important reform in the bill as they believed there was now too many yards Persounally the senate conferees agreed with them in this, but were constrained in view of the vote of the senate, to report a formal disagreement. The result of the compromises upoa other items was as follows: Senate amendment protecting the government from any linbility to complete unfinished mon- 1tors is assented to by the house; re- ductions in the line has been arranged by restoring commodores to 10 in number, and distributing the reduc- tions agreed upon through the differ- ent grades as follows: Rear admirals 4, commodores 15, captains 5, com- manders 3, lieutenant commanders 8, lieutenants 30, instead of 80 as pro poscd by the house; masters 25, en- signs 25. This would leave the num- ber of commanders to be retained at 10, und 1t would be seen the redue- tion was less in the upper than in the lower grades In roference to the sale of ships stores and supplies it is provided that old and useless ships are to bo appraised and re- ported upon, the sccretary of the navy to report to congress before taking action, and that perishable materials may be sold after public advertisement and due provision for open public sale. The conferees had not ioterfered with the pay now received by any officer, but had provided that lhereafter offi- cers upon the retired list shall have rank and pay to which they were entitled on the date of re- tivement, This was intended to cor- rect an abuse in the past and would prevent an officer who had been vro- moted without pay from sCtur ing an increase in pay by special legislation because of his promo- tion. Concerning duty to which offi- cers shall be assigned who are not at cea, that part of the clause which proyides that such officars be assiened to shore duty when the secretary of the navy can certity what is their duty, is retawncd in the bill, and the re- maiuder, including the part direct- ing tht eecrotary in certain cases to assign officers upon furlough ay, is stricked out, This leaves the aw unchanged in this respect. The conference report was accepted and a new conferees appointed upon the two items remaining in dispute. Sevators Logan, Cameron, (Pa..) Anthony, Hamilton and Jones, (Fia.) were constituted a select committee under the recent resolution to exam- ine and report upon heavy ordinances aud projeciles, After exccutive session Senators Allison, Hale and Beck were appoint- g ; .d a conference on the sundry civil sire to ship produce to us; farmers |35 © v Considera‘ion of the tax reduc- tion bill was resumed, the question being upon Senator Harris' amend- ment providing for a reduction of 10 per cent after January 1st, 1883, and an additional 10 per cent after Janu- ary lst, 1884, upon important dutiea. Senator Harris rose to discuss his proposition and Senator Pendleton moved an executive session, Senator Morrill regarded the mo- tion as intended to delay the bill and Senator Pendleton such intention and urged that execu- disclaimed any & Do rman, |tive business demand attention. ) Senator Harris eaid bankers and patent medicine men can wait one Corner 13th and Jackson. | day before getting that relief which OMAHA, NEB,, the senator from Vermont is so anx- ious to extend them. Senator Rollins demanded the yeas and nays and the motion was voted down by a straight party vote--23 to 27, It being observed that no quorum was present, the senate adjourned. HOUSE 'ROCEEDINGS, Mr. Robeson presented the confer- ence report upon the naval appropria. tion bill; stating that an agreement had beon reached on all points in dis pute except thatrelative to closing the ravy yard. The report was agrocd to and further conference ordered. The conference roport on the legis- lative, executive and judicial appro priation bill was agreed to. The hovso then proceeded to the consideration of senate amendmente to the sundry civil bill. Matters ran very smoothly, amend- ments being concurred in or non-con- curred in according to the recom- mendations of the committee on ap- propriations, until the clause relative to the national board of health was reached, the senate amendments in- creasing the amount of the approprin- tions for that body to $78,000 Messrs, Dunn, Reagan and Manning advocated coneurrence. Mr. Butterworth argued in favor of the rojection of the senate amend- ments, It was finally non-concurred in. The romainder of the afeernoon was consumed in concurring or non- concurring in the senato amendments, the proceeding only once or twice being diversified by noisy but brief and unimportant discussions upon some of the items It was nearly b o'clock when the amendments were all disposed of and the bill sent to the senate. The house disagreed to the amendment of the senate to the bill providing for printing the April report for 1881 and a conference was ordered. The house took a recess tor half an hour and then the legislative bill was signed by the speaker. Messra. Hiscock, Butterworth and Blackburn were appointed conferecs on the suadry civil bill.

Epecial Dispatch 10 111k Brs, Lirrie Rook, Ark., August 4.—The trouble which begun in northwestern part of Creck nation last week by the arvest of a criminal and his rercue and the murder of his jailor, Capt. Samuel Scott, by a gang of Sands’ men, is not yet settled, United States Marshal Beck, who was in Fort Smith yester- day, gives the following view of the situation: Monday night the Sands men were camped on Pecan creck, nine miles from Muscogee, in com- mand of a noted desperado named Dick Glass. Chief Checota, of Creek nation, was in camp 18 miles distant, with 560 men and citizens were still coming to his aid. He says when the command reaches 800 he will arrest the 12 slayers of Capt. Scott. Sands’ S men called on Agent Tafts at Mus. cogee, who advised them to surrender the men wanted by the author ] as only the means of preventing blood" shed. This they emphatically refused to do and declared lgeir intention to stand by their comrades to the bitter end. Great excitoment prevails all over the nation. As matters now stand the Glass gang must either dis- perse and let Capt. Scott's murderers take their chances with the officers or bloodshed will follow, - - A Stiff Trout. Sgecial D spatch to Tur Brr. DENvER, August 4, —A young man pamed Charles Trout, while intoxi cated this afternoon, went to a house at which his former mistress, Lottio Barnard, was stopping, quarreled with and fired a shot from & revolver at her, producing a_slight wound in the arm. Thinking he had [atally injured the woman he went to his home, a short distance away, and shot himself in the region of the heart, dying in a few moments. Eight Babos in a Row, Special Dispacch to Tirs Bre, Cuicaco, August 4.—A Pole named Holw, living in the town of Lake, a sub- urb adjoining this city on the south, was arrested to-day on suspicion of having caused the death of an infant recently born to his wife, It seems that the couple have been living in that neighborhood about eight years, that children were born to them with unusual frequency, and that they mysteriously disappeared, causing much talk among their neighbors, but no direct steps were taken until yee- terday. After Holm's arrest he con. fessed that during his eight years residence here his wife lLod borne eight children, all of which had died when very young; that whenever one died he put it in n bag, carried it to the lako shore and buried in the sand, and that the bodies of eight infauts were thus interred between Thirty- first and Thicty-third streets. He says his wife consented to this dis- position of them, He admits he some- times hit the babes, but denies he killed them, He states, moreover, that during a short residence in Ne- braska two children were born to them and died in hike manner. The Tariff Commission. Spee'al D spateh to Tux Brx. L LoNe Brancn, August 4 --Before the tariff commission to-day, Willlam Corsey, representing the labor party, said that after a bitter experience, the working classes were now being edu- cated in the use of the ballot as a cure for the evils of the labor pystem. Representatives of white” lead, red lead, letharge, Paris white and whiting, China clay, linseed oil, vene- tians, red ochres and ochrey, each ad- vanced a reduction of the daty. California Freights * Special Diepatch to Tus Bxx. . BostoN, August 4.—A dispatch from Chicago to-day forshgdowing a railroad freight war between the At- lantic & Pacific coasts has stirred up the people here. The business ob- tained by taking the California trade at cheap rates is regarded as sufficient to induce certain roads to breale ‘the pool agreoment. All agree that the threat of the Southern lines to bill on St. Louis and adopt similar improper tactics in regard to billing could hard- ly be considered of any importance. At the same time it was evidently thought that the request of the com- missioner that theso practices bo dis- continued was insuflicient to stop the evil, but what steps he would take to compel an enforcement of his request it was impossible to tell, Base Ball.

Beown's Tron Bittera, An Imitative Race, The colored voters are boginning to understand politics as well as if not better than most white voters, Their natural disposition to lie and steal, as cropsout in the cases of Whittaker and Flipper, is of great advantage to them during a polit campaign, One of the candidates for an offico at the muuicipal office in Austin, not long since, relied on the fidelity of an old family servant to help him out among the colored voters, The candi- date was beaten, After the election he was told that the colored political friend had voted against him. He did not believe it, but meeting him ono day the ex-candidate said: “P]1 give you a dollar, Jim, to tell me whom you voted for.” I yoted agin you, boss,” “‘Well here is the dollar for your candor.,” “Look heah, boss, if yor am gwine ter bay for de candor, I mout as well own up I voted agin you free different times, Three dollars moah, if you please, boss,” This is almost as bad as the way Senator Voorhees treated our repre- sentative, Reagan,—Austin (Ter.,) Siftings.

LUCKY "OIL SCOUTSs.” Thelr Delicate and Dangerous Work in the Oil Reglons Bradford Star, When an operator goes into an un developed field and puts down a test woll he naturally desires to have the profit of his risk. It costs him some thing like §6,000 to put down this wildeat well, for which, in most cases, hegots no return, for the ma- jority of wildeat wells produce noth- ing. If he finds a rich sand, howaver, and cau koop it a secret for a while, ho has a fortune in his hands. He can sell oil short, knowing that when it is known that a now field has been discovered the price will go down. His most direct opportunity, how- ever, is to lease the land in the neigh- borhood of his well, to be sold again at an enormous profit as soon as it is known that it is productive territory. S0 he guarda his secret with ovory ap- pliance he can invent. His most dan- gerous enomies are the *‘scouts.” They aro paid to diecover what he is trying to conceal. Almost every prominent oil broker has o “‘scout” regularly employed to keep him posted on the latest doings at the front. Daring, ciutious, patient, untiring, unscrupulous and honest, the scout must add to the experience of a driller the subtlo judgment of a broker, and tho keoness of an_opera- tor. In the shadows of the night he oarus his salary lurking about in the neighborhood of a new well out of gunshot of the guards about the der- rick, lying often in tho snow or in the swamp for hours, with his noso and ears stretched above the shelter of somo friendly log to catch the smell of gas or the gurglo of fliwing oil; sncaking up to the tank house to get a peep in if possible; watching the motion of the walking beam, and es- timating the depth of the tools there by; ready to bribe a driller or ex- change shots with a guard at a mo- ment's notice. Ho sometimes spends woeks watch- ing ono particular well. He studies the habits of the men working on it, notes if any of them are likely to suc- cumb to the temptation of his brandy flask, jots down the hours whem each one takes his nap, marks which way their faces are mostly turned in their rounds, and, if he can not court their tavor, devises some scheme to get in- side their guard and at their secrot. In the gray of the morning ho rides away to the nearest telegraph office and” communicates with his employer before the market opens. It is a mystery when ho sloeps. Almost any time of the day he may boe seen loiter- ing about wherever there is a crowd, picking up acquaintances with the fow drillers whomn he does not alrendy know. The emoluments of the work are accasionally of a sizo to compensate forany amount of hurdship, For in stance, “‘Si” Hughes, who got the Anchor Oil company a pointer on 646 has beon takon into the company with the oflice of superintendent aud a clear tenth of their profits. His spring’s work will net him not less than $1560,000; but thero 1s a well defined path circling through the woods around 646, worn by the feot of those who worked as hard as he and got nothing but their salaries, How Hughes got his information is siill a mystery, He1s said to claim that ho lay nunder the derrick for ninctoen consecutive hours, but the provailing improssion is that he bought the secret from one of the guards, In the course of an experienco moeting the other evening with Cap- tain Peter Girace, one of the mon who put down the 646 well in this dis- trict, he told me the icae story of the myslery. Much hiy been written abous 16, more prooably than was over printed about an oil well bufore, but the captain told me a fow things that were new. This wonderful Cher ry Grove district owes ity devolcp ment to the msfortunes of George H. Dimmick. He had been wrecked financiaily over in the Coal Creek region, und Captain Grace set him to work out this way rather to give him a chance to recover than from any other motive. Land could b leased for a dollar an acre, and " the experiment was not very costly. ““When the tools broke through the shell of the sand about 10 o'clock on the morning of the 11th of March,” said Capt. Grace, “‘we know we had found wealth. T.e oil filled up a hundred feet before we could get the [2 out. The pressere of gas was tremenduour, We drove a tight-fit. ting wooden plug, 34 feut long, to the bottom of the well, poured the hole full of oil, scrowed in the casing-head, and set the tools, which weighed not loss than a ton on top of it, Evew then when the woll flowed it blew the casing-head off and sent the tools a flying up the derrick. “One trick we played to deceive the scouts I think has never got into print. I took a torpedo man into u room in the hotel at Warren one day, very mysteriously, but took good care to have a scout see me doit. Of course the scout immediately hid himself in the adjoining room. T told the shooter, with my voice trembling, that I had put my last dollar into thoe 646 venture, and had found no oil, [ must got some appearance of greaso in order to sell my lease and get out whole, T arranged with him to go out that night and torpedo the well Well, we went out with a make-be- lieve torpedo filled with water, The scouts were at our heels, of course, and watched every motion, We went to the well in the dead of night, and there went through the form of shoot- ing the well so accurately that even the guards about the well were de ceived. The next morning they com plained that the smell of the dyna- mito had given them tho headachw Sharp as they were, the scouts were all taken in, and did not find out the trick until weeks afterward.” A Baptist Mintster's Experience I am a Baptist Minister, and hefore I oven thought of Leing a clerpyman, I grad- unted in medicine, but left a lucrative | tice for my present profession, 40 years ago.
