HE FAVORS THE SENATE AMENDMENT. The Democrats Give Notice That Th will Fight the Tariff Bill Theough all Its Various Miscellancous. y goi— Wistiyeron Buaeav Tiee Onana Bee, | 3 Founreesm Siweet, 3 Wasniseros, D, C, August 11, ) Mr. Connell, duving the ration of the Indian appropriation bill, which has just leen sent to a conference, will make a deter mined fight for an amendment in the inter. ests of the Sac and Fox tribe of Indians in southwestern Nebwaska, Ho wauted for them the usual allotm of their lands when finalsettlement is made, The bill pr vides that *no one siall be recognized as o member of the tribe whose name was upon the roll January 1 last.” Mr, Connell said “This proviso, while it is gencral in its terms, is aimed duvetly and solely at the claitmants to whom [have vefor . "The fact is, thiy wore enrolled under the roil of the comumissioner of Indian affairs, but not until January 1, 1800, when this bill ax before the senate n - amend- ment was proposel and adopted by that body. hich is as follows: ‘Unless the sime may beadded thereat by the nsages of the tribe and under the diroction of the of the interior. I submit, Mr. r, to all wi the hearing of my hatif an opportuity to on this senate amendment wi givenit would be al- most unmimously concurnad fn. Itis an dmendment which mercly says that this house proviso, to which reference has been made, shull sobe limited as not to apply to such members of the tribe as may be rec nized and enrolledas such under the usages of the trbe and under the dirvection of the secrtary of the interor. Mr. Speaker, T might talk here forthree hoirs in vlace o fifteen minutes. Tmight rea length vol uminous testimony which is before me and which relates fo the rights of these claimants, but what_avail would it be when we are prevented from taking any action with reference to the senate amendment. This resolution which [ have opposed has the effect of ‘gagrule) It shuts ofl discussion and prevents us from taking the action wo desire. Now I fail to sec iu consideration of matters of this kind, whichare not political in their character, why such a resolution should be supported by the members on this sido of the house mierely because it comes from the committee onrulés, a majority of which are republicans, asshowingto some ent, the interest and the fecling in the jor- tion of the state of Nebraska to which 1 have rred. I would call the attention of mem- to cortain resolutions adopted by the Richardson county farmers' alliance and re- cently published it Lincolu."? The resolutions wero read in extenso at the clerk’s desk and Mr. Connell contunued, say ingamong other things: “I submit to th house that it would be unfairand unjust in tho extreme to cut out theso cliimants with- out giving them a hearing, without ‘giving them their day in court.’ They have made what mustat’ least be considered a prima facie case. Favorable action has been taken in their belalf by the commissioner of Tndian affairs. Over eighty pagesof festi- mony have been taken with reference to the rights. It was upon this testimony that the conmissioner of Indian aflirs acted. Subse- quently, when some objection was made, a second order was entered suspending the one previously madein favorof these claimints, and at the request of some parties interested aspecial ludian agent has been st to Nebraska to take alditional testi- mony. Noy it is proposed, while this addi- tional testimony is being taken and after tion s already been hud 1n faverof these claimants, to shut them opt completely by this arbitrary and unjust proviso.”” Theamendment of the louse stands in tho bill yet, Mr. Comnell's efforts proving un- availing. DENOCRATIO OPPOSITION TO THE TARIFF. It became visibloto the naked cye toda that the democrats intend to offer every pos: sible factious opposilion_in the senate f0 the speedy consideration of the tariff bill. M, Vest of Missouri, who isoncof the demo- aticleadors, gave notice that his side of the chamber intended todemand the fullest con- sideration of every feature of the measure, and they would fight item by item and inch by inch the entire bill without respect to the comsideration of any other measure during the remainder of the season. Thiswas equivalent toa no- tice that the democrats believe there is some ground for hoving that the exceptions taken by certain republicans tospecific features of the bill may lead toa division of the republi- can side of thesenate. It means more prim- arily, however, that the democrats intend by delaying the final adoption of the tarif bl to defeat consideration at this session of both the elections and congressional reapportion- mentbills, The statement brought Senator \erman (o his feetand he delivered a very foreible roview of the senate's action upon the tariff bill. He cautined the democrats against imposing upen the pa. tienco of the conntry and i best interests by factis opposition simply for the purpose of killing time that other medsures might not receive cousidera- tion, Hecame outstrong in favor of amend- ing the rules or making some provision so as to cut off debate after areasonable discussion and securing a final vote, There was a sharp repartee between Senators Suerman and anieron on one side and Vest and other dem. ocrats on thatside of the chamber as to the aims and results of the tariff bill and also the effect of the recently adopted silver coinage law, during which Senators Sherman and meron stated that the adoption of the coin agelaw had alveady increased the price ot farm products and farming lands 20 per cent, nd these staples would continne to increase value till the era of the country’s prosper- ched apoint to which it his not been rars. Afterthe discussion of the ised by Mr, Vestit was predicted ew York, who is 8 mem- rommittee ou finance, that the ses- sion would last till the next scssion begins, with possibly a short recess for the elections. in November, IN TRE INTERESTOF IRIGATION, Charles Williams, of Aberdeen, S, D., is here in the interest of an ion_conven- ion which is to he held at Aberdeen on the 20th inst. He is al thohead of project which proposes to tap the Missouri river di- rectly west of Aberdeen and rin an irrig tion canal to Aberdeen, where it will empty into the James river. The canal is tobe pri- marily for irigation, but is incidentally in- tended W besufficiently large to floal small tepresentative Pic s called with Mr, Williams upon Major Powell, director of the geological survey, and, after listening patiently to a full exposition of the project, the major assured his visitoss that he would ~ secure a preiinry survey of the canal 50 as to afforda busis of opera- tion, Senator Moody y committee on irvgation an amendment tothe deficiency appropriation bill appropriating £100,000 for continuingexperiments in artesian aud undertlow waters for irrigation purposes, and says it will undoubtedly beadopted.
