He added t if the scheme contemplates the sojourn of artists anywhere in Europe their sojourn should be in Paris and not in Italy. Paris, M. Bar- tholdi claims, is the art center of the world, and here in the future should be the Ameri- can prix de Paris. The American students are sure of a hear welcome in Paris, Referring to the delay in coustructing the buitdings for the world’s fair in Chicago, M. Bartholdi said that the time before the open- ing of the feir was soshort that he had aban- doned his intention to offer an exnibit. An artist, ho suid, cannot work undor pressure.

Blackburn, chief of the division on education of the Indian de partment, to pay their respects to the great father. The delegation consists of Chiefs Johu Grass and Whitebira and three young men, American Horse, jr., Turning Hawk and Three Stars. The rumor that this dele- gation s woing to demand the reason why General Miles and soldiers were not required to surrender their arms tothe Indians is without foundation. This errand is altogether peaceful. They are ed ucated and civilized Indians, some of them oc. cupying positions of trust and honor amongst the whites, and they propose to furnish to the authorities at Washington practical illustra- tion of what the Indian may become under favorable conditions.

Tho Olosure Resolution and Elections Bill Will Not Be Resurreoted, AN INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR ALDRICH. The Amended Omaha Bridge Bill Passcd by the Senate and Con Gers ecs Appointed to Act with the Hou WasninaroNy Bureau Tae Osmana Bee, 513 FouRrTEENTI STREET, Wasmyartoy, D, C., Jan. 81 “No further effort will be made to take up thethe closure resolution or the elections bill. Both may be considered permanently outof the way of the senate. I believe the wcountry understands that we are defeated by eight republicans, who refuse to be bound by caucus ties or party pledges.’ The above is what Senator Aldrich said to your correspoudent this afternoon. Mr. Aldrich, as chairman of the committee on rules, has charge of the closure resolution, and is therefore keeper of the elections bill, for without the one the other cannot be voted upon. Senator Aldrich continued: “When I returned from Rhode Island tonight I thought of making another effort to call up the closure resolution and then the elections bill for the express purpose of placing the republicans in opposition squarely upon record, but I find there is no necessity of that, as it is thought there could be no #good come of such a step and there would he a wasteof time. It may be contended by some of the capricious eight that théy did not vote against closure or the elections btll, but they did, They voted first instance to lay aside the elections bill when they kuew it could not be taken up again. They voted squarely to lay aside the closure resolution when they knew weant the measure's death. What more, they refuse to now that they will vote at any time totakeup cither of theso propositions. They are therefore against both of them just the same as if the had voted no when the closure resolution and the elections bill were before the senate for final adoption,” The cight senators referred to are Messrs, Jones and Stewart. both of Nevada, Walcott and Teller of Colorado, Washburn of Minne- sota, Cameron of Pennsylyania, Ingalls of Kuusas and Stanford of California, “‘What effect will thede! of the eiec bill have upon the republican part peated the senator in answer to the question. “It has already had the effect of creating a great deal of féeling. I havenever seen so much feeling among republicans in Rhode Island, and I learn it is the same throughout the ¢ They — are stirred up and ar mined to have an organization which will win next v withoutthe aid of those who betrayed their party’s interests, The feeling against the republicans who cast their strength in opposition to closure and the clections bill is intense, As party men the elght have been tabooed,~ 1t 18 rough on them, butone of the saving features of the party, 1t is becoming well understood that the earvest republicans in the senate did all they could to pass a bill which would guarantee pure elections or as nearly pure as is possible, and it 15 becow- iug understood that tho efforts made wero aborted by meén Wio were olected to the sen- ate by from republican states to ey ihe c-pmfiy of republicans. Neither the party nor the majority of republicans in the senate can be held respomsible for the false actions of its individual members," Early this forenoon Senator Aldrich, after consultation with Senators Hoar, Spooner and other staunch friends of the elections bill, went over on the democratic side of the chamber and assured Messrs, Gorman, Carlisle and other leaders of the democratic wing of the senate that the clo- sure resolution and elections bill would rest where they are—on the vice president’s table —aud no attempt would be made to take them for any purpose. Messrs. Gorman and sle immediatel ed to the house end conveyed this news to the dem ocratic leaders of that body and ad- vised them not to longer offer any opposition to legislation. They encountered a few southern democrats like . Mills who, while pleased to learn of the new condition in the senate, objected to vielding the op) tunities of forcing an extra session of con- gress. The southern candidates for the speakership fear that delay in organizing the next house will ruin their campaign, as a doubt is arising in the minds of northern democrats whether it will be advisable to take any man from the south to preside over a house which will be in session during the next presidential campaign As 10 the prospects for an extra session of congzress, Senator Aldrivh said in the conver- sation quoted above: "“There is not theslight- est probability of an extra session. We are further advanced with the appropriation bills than usual and can easily finish them all be- fore March 4. Only a failare to vass the ap- propriation bills could induce an extra sion. No, the republicans do not fear the worst from an _extra session. On _the con- trary they would fare the best. It would place the democrats on the defensive. Hay- ing provoked an extra session they would have to warrant it and defend their action and noa-action.” THE OMAHA BRIDGE BILL. Senator Manderson called up the Omaha bridge bill this morning with the awend- ments as agreed upon by the senate commit- tec on _commerce. During the progress of the reading of the bill Senator Manderson suggested that a date later than July 1, 1803, should be fixed for the completion of the bridge. He was antagonized by Senator Paddock upon this proposition, who said that that date would be nearly. two and a half years from the date of the passage of the bill and that he had seen statements on the part of the projectors of the enterprise indi- cating their readiness to commence the con- struction of the bridge immediately on the passage of the bill, and that it would be finished much earlier than the date npamed. Senator Manderson then assented, but later i ndicated that he thought the time was short. Senator Paddock again said that he considered two and one-half years ample time and that his idea was toso limit the time for the com- mencement and completion of the bridge that it will be a briage to be construc and nota bridgo to be speculated upon. Sei dorson said that as congress would ifestly extend the time if the br partly constructed by July 1, 1803, he cared nothing about the matter and was willing to let it go as it stood. "The bill was then re- ported as amended aud the amendments con- curred inand a committee of conference ap- pointed to meet a similar committee from the house. PRESIDENT HARRISON'S AFFLICTION, Few presidents have evor been called upon to bear so many deep afffictions as has Presi- dent Harrison, The death of Mrs. Scott Lord, the sister of Mrs. Harrison, oceurred in the exccutive mansion but a few months sin Three deaths followed in quick suc- cession 1 the household or immediate family of Secretary Blaine. To President Harrison was assigned the sad duty of assisting Secre- tary Tracy in the great bereavement which befel the secretary of the navy when his residence burned and took the lives of his wife and daughter. The president almost constantly at the side of Sec Tracy for severat days and finally cared for bim at his own fireside at the executive man sion, Tothe president it came the duty to couvey to Mrs, Windom at the table of Post naster General Wanamaker the almost trag! deuth of the secrotary of the treasury. In all of these ordeals President Harrison has evinced a tender aftection more like that of & father for a son than that of a ruler of the na- tiou for au oficial advisor., He bas been ten- der in his love for those in . afiction and has been so attentively affectionate that he has won the love of \Washington. Surely the hand of death has dwelt heavily proc upon him, but without complaint, devotion res as surely but with _admis onded 'with the best gifts na has bestowed. President Harrison has never boen open or ostentatious in any of these trying ordoals, but has been 8o modest 8o far as the public is concerned that few outside the immediate families visited by afliction knew at the time his acts of devotion, He has shown o touch of affection in the deatn of Secretary Windom aud a depth of sorrow not seon in & public oficer since the days of Lincoln. FOR NEBIASKA DROUTIL SUPFERERS, _ Mr. Dorsey accompanied the new Nebraska delegation to congress before the sub-com- mitteo of the house committee on agricul this morning, where thoy participated in un argument 1 favor of an appropriation of $1,00,000 for the relief of the drouth sufforers in Nebraska und thoso who sustained losses on account of the Sioux out break. The argument put forth by Mossrs. Bryan, McKeighan and Kem, s anticipated in ik Brr's dispatches, was that inasmuchs | as the government had received from the | sufferers over $4,000,000 since they settled upon the public domaun, it should by willing toassist them in lossés for which they were not accountable. The sub-commit- toe was unable to determine whether it had jurisdictfon of the subject, and there will be another bearing by the' sub-committee on Monday. It is believed thut thesubject will be transférred to the committee on appropria- tions. Not alone is Nebraska's credit to suffer from the representations being made here by the committee asking an appropriation for drouth sufferers, but the action of the legis- lature is havine its efect in the east. A PERSONAL PRIVILEGE Mr. Bland of Missouri has notified his friends that he will rise in the house next week and under the guarantee of a personal privilege move to discharge the committee on coinage, weights and measures from fur- ther consideration of the tree coluage bill and briug it before the house for immediate action. Speaker Reed begun this afternoon to pre- paro an opinion declaring the motion out of ordor. The spoaker says a member of the house has the privileges which the constitu- tion and the rules of the house guarantee to house. He then has aber of & committe: 1t would be necessary, he says, to show that the privilges of ~ membership of the house or of committee were being in- fringed upon or interfered with in some way in order to make n motion to discharge a committee from of a measure Speaker Reed contends further that nould rule in order such a motion it would lead to interminable trouble and con- fusion without limif that ev v man who was not satisfied with the time taken by a committee for consideration of a pension, bridee or any other bill could rise in his seat av any time and ask the discharge of the committeo from further consideration Just what turn Mr. Bland will take in meeting the argument he does not know, but he is already advised that his motion will be overruled and as to the grounds upon which will be overruled. He will in any event take an appeal from the decision of the chuir, The appeal may be sustained. There ure o number of republican members who ar piaued at the speaker, and it _is expected that they will pive evidence of their feling by voting against the decision, The republicans at present, haye a. majority of nineteen in the house, but owing to the absence of some members without puirs it will be necessary for thirteen repub- icaus to vote for the appeal aud ¢ ruling to give the democrats even though that side of the house votes solidly against tho ruling, It is b lieved by Mr. Bland that there will bo & num- ber of free colnage republicans who will feel obliged 10 vote awaiust the ruling iu_ the i terest of the bill to bo taken wto considora- tion, and that no democrat will vote to sus- tain the speaker oven though oppused to free coinago. The contest will be lively if not exeltirg and its outcome is considored doubtful, though the republicans generally are confi- dent that the ruling of the speaker will be sustained, The speaker is hundicapped by having nearly a hundred men on his side who will retire from congress on March +and who are therefore not. so easily bound by caucus action or party obligation as those who expect to coutinue in public life.
