ASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Representative Lentz of Ohio to-day introduced a joint resolution reciting the charges growing out of the presence of United States troops under Brigadier General Merriam at the centers of mining troubles in Idaho and asking for an investigation by a special committee of nine members to be appointed by the Speaker. The resolution says that it is a matter of general information that United States troops were sent to Idaho in defiance of and contrary to the Federal constitution, at the individual request of the Governor, when no riot or insurrection existed, and without consulting the Legislature or the local Sheriff. It is asserted that General Merriam declared martial law and arbitrarily and without warrant of law arrested hundreds of citizens and held them under ‘“‘most brutal and tyrannical conditions.” The arrests, it is charged, included many members of the Miners’ Union and the local Sheriff. It is asserted that many men were imprisoned in a “bull pen, a place unfit for human habitation.” The allegation is made that one prisoner became insane from the treatment, and, escaping, was shot as he jumped into a river. In another case, it is charged, a dying prisoner was denied spiritual consolation. Spe- cific acts of cruelty are given, including compulsory standing erect for ssven hours each day in the hot sun, under penalty of death if attempt was made to move or sit down. It is alleged also that a captain under Gen- eral Merriam “amused” himself by calling prisoners “cowardly curs” while these punishments were being in- flicted. The resolution also asserts that the wives and families of the miners were insulted by soldiers, and it is alleged that responsibility for the various actions recited rests with the mining companies of the localities.

Richardson, leader of the minority, ! some of the majority leaders with their change of front in coming out fi footedly for the gold standard, but Gre nor and Cannon good-naturedly replied at they had learned something with ad- cing years. The former said the Dem- atic party was the only living demon- ation of the survival of a great organ- tion which refused to Jearn anything. Roberts, the Mormon Representative- elect from Utah, was not in the House when the session began to-day. It was agreed Immediately after the reading of the journal that when the House ad- journed it should be to meet on Monday Dalzell of Pennsylvania, from the Com- mittee on Rules, presented the amend- ments to the rules agreed upon by committee for the creation of a Commit- tee on Insular Affairs, to consist of seven- teen members and to have jurisdiction ver all matters (excepting those affect- 1 ues and tne appropriations) ng to the islands which came to va 1869 with Spain, and to Cuba, and to in- crease the membership of the Committees on Foreign Affairs, Merchant Marine and ¥ ies, Public Lands, Military Affairs, Naval Affairs and District of Columbia from 15 to 17 members and the Committee on Territories from 13 to 15.

But one day was to be given the minority to study the bill, while members of the | jority had stx months in which to pre- | m pare themselves. majority with base.

He made an elab- orate argument Lo prove that it was a proposition to hastily determine a ques- tion to which the best and most careful consideration should be given, Grosvenor of Ohio, In support of the rule, argued that it could not be justly said tnat it would unduly curtail debate and conslderation. As to the charge that members of the majority would find it difficult to explain their change of front, he sald it was one of the proudest boasts of the Republican party that it was wiser now than it was a good many years ago. “The Democratic party,” said he, “is the only well recognized demonstration of a great organization which has survived long period without learning anything. The of the Republican party is be- hind it; of its present it is proud, and Its is assured.

Izell closed the debate by recalling some of the rules under which the Demo- ts had forced through important bills in the Fifty-second and Fifty-th.rd Cone gresses. He referred particularly to the adoption of the confererice report in the Fifty-second Congress upon the tariff bill, which_*the greatest Democrat since An- drew Jackson, Grover Cleveland (derisive laughter on the Democratic side), had ronounced a piece of party perfidy and ishonor.” He described this procedure as a “rape of all precedents,” and cited other cases where he said “gag rule” had to these been employed.

BRADLEY REPLIES 0 JUDGE TARVIN |Says the Jurist Kept a| [ Cowardly Silence. | — Epectal Dispatch to The Call. FRANKFORT, Dec. 8.—Governor Brad- ley to-night gave out his first public ut- terance on the burning of the nego, Dick Coleman, at Maysville. This came In re- ply to an interview by Judge James P. Tarvin of Covington, criticizing the State authorities and boiding them responsible | for the Maysville mob. The Governor | this afternoon wired Mr. Tarvin, asking him if he had been correctly reported and received the following reply: i “The penalty given Coleman may be | consicered just, but the failure of the State authoritles to protect him after he in custody Is wrong, and any citizen has a right to ¢ cize it. The fact that| Le was a negro, hardly above a brute, is only the more reason for protecting him. ur telegram means fight [ have the e of weapons and choose cannon, you ay at F fort and I at Covingion. Please don’t send the militia.” The Governor, commenting on the above, sald: “This dispatch is character- istic of the man. If the penalty Coleman by the people was should Tarvin object tion to remain in entleman in Frankfort, persons - who now him will be astonished to learn he is willing to fight, even at that distance.” The Governor closes his statement by | saying: “As Governor I have done everything in my power to protect human life and en- force the law. If 1 had known, as Judge | Tarvin knew, that this man was about to | be taken to 'his death at the hands of a mob, I would not have kept a cowardly silence as he did, but would have protect- ed him. Ever since Judge Taryvin as | selzed with the Idea that he was Vi dentinl timber, hls friends have kept | nt watch on him. This latest ef-| fusion is additional evidence that he is irresponsible.” | STEAMSHIP NIAGARA [ THOUGHT TO BE LOST! Belief That She Went Down in Lake Erie With All Hands on Board.
