and quite a number of ballots were east
before the result was reached.
Adjutant General Stephens sent a State
flag to Washington to-day to tie used in
the inauguration ceremonies on Wednes
day. Tbe Georgia flag, as is well known,
bears a striking resemblaneeto the “stars
ami bars” of the late Confederacy, minus
the stars. The flag in question is of red,
white and blue silk trimmed with
gold bullion. The Governor in
sisted this banner last week, and,
thinking that some of the
“truly loyal” might possibly think it was
a "rebel” ensign, suggested that the coat
ot arms ot the State be put in the blue
field. Col. Stephens had the addition
made, and the flag thus improved will
float to-morrow among the other State
flags. It is said, however, that the change
makes the banner bear a closer resem
blance to the Confederate flag than ever.

RUSHING FOR LANDS.
Rumor* of the Opening of tlie Croiv-
C.'reck Reservation Cause a Stampede.
Mitchell, Dak., March 2.—There is
great excitement here, and at points along
tne line of the road west to Chamberlain,
occasioned by a report that the Crow-
Creek reservation had been thrown open
to settlement. For some weeks the open
ing of the reservation has beeu con
fidently expected, and every one
that has a right to locate has lieen
waiting for the first intelligence. M. H.
Day, of Springfield, a member of the
Democratic National Committee, who
was in Washington, expecting to attend
the inauguration, arrived in Mitchell a
few days ago, and with some others,
organized a syndicate to secure part of
tbe reservation adjoining the city of
Chamberlain, and when the plans of tbe
syndicate were all matured and executed
the information leaked out that the res
ervation would be opened. At the first
intimation of the news hundreds rushed
upon the reservation as squatters, aud it
is said that at least 500 claim that shanties
were erected upon the reservation Satur
day. The Land Office at this place is Ik -
seiged by real estate agents and clients
seeking to put on filings. Ail trains west
are crowded with land settlers.

officers proceeded to take possession ol
the goods when old man Rainey seized a
Winchester rifle which was lying in the
wagon. A scuffle ensued between him
and Johnson, and Rainey shot Johnson
through tbe head, killing him instantly.
Both the Raineys then turned on the
deputy sheriffs, and shot one of them in
the face and legs. The Raineys then
crossed the river and escaped.

DEMOCR UTS JPBILKF..
GEORGIANS PREVENT HE AB
SENCE OF THE HOUSE.
The De*ire to Repudiate the Senate's
Discourtesy Nearly Precipitates Unfor
tunate Action— Strangers Pouring Into
the Capital from Every Direction—The
Movements of the Hour’s Two Heroes.
W ABHINGTON, March 2.—ln the House
to-dav Mr. Mills, of Texas, moved to sus
pend the rules and adopt a resolution
“that the committee appointed to arrange
for the inaugural ceremonies, having de
clined to give to the Representatives in
Congress their proper place, we will de
cline to take any part in said ceremonies
at the capitol.” Tnis resolution, said Mr.
, Miils, reflected the sentiment of large
| numbers of the House.
Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, demanded
a second, and tbe motion was seconded
' by a voteot 138 to 8. Mr. Hammond felt
that the House was about to <lo under
passion a very unseemly thing. On March
4 a President of the United States was to
be inaugurated. It was usual that the
House of Representatives should be with
the Senate aud other public officials to
witness that great seeue. The House
was about, in a personal, childish freak
to decline to be present, iiecause some
body had offered it an insuit. He denied
that an insult had been offered.
I’be Senate bad bad no sucb intention.
Its committee had had no such intention.
If the House believed that there had been
such an intention there was a dignified
way ol arriving at the facts, and a digni
fied way ot maintaining the dignity ot
this body. The resolution which declared
luat because the House had to sit behind
other gentlemen in tne .Senate it would
not sit there at ail was peurile. He had
had the pleasure of a like seat when
President Garfield was inaugurated and
the House had sat with him, and no man
had dreamed tnat he was insulted by his
location. Whence came this sudden
insult to-day ? Why was it wrong that
mem tiers ot the House snouhl sit in the
real ? True dignity consisted in taking
the seats that were offered, and it was
childish to quarrel about the location of
tue House of Representatives. Instead
of maintaining its dignity it was losing
Us dignity. It was offering intentionally
what seemed to be an insult to the
Senate, which had never intended to
insult or to iuflict upon it an affront of
any sort.
HASTE DEPRECATED.
Mr. Young, of Tennessee, earnestly pro
tested against hasty and inconsiderate
action. It might be true that the Senate
bad not been quite as considerate in this
matter as it should have been. It might
be that it had shown some discourtesy to
the House, but admitting that to be true,
did that furnish any reasoa why the
House should inflict an equal or greater
discourtesy on the Presidentof the United
States? He did not believe that anv dis
courtesy or indignity was intended on the
part of tbe Senate. If. would present a
most unseemly spectacle to the country
lor one brauch of the government to ab
s nt itself altogether Irom tbe inaugural
ceremonies.
Mr. Cox, of North Carolina, thought
tnat no discourtesy was intended on the
part of the Senate, and referred to the
spectacle which would be presented to
the world if one body ot tbe national
legislature should absent itself from the
inaugural ceremonies to which the people
of the whole country had been invited.
In his opinion the House was making a
good deal of a matter which did not
justify it.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, supported the
resolution, and said that the House
Khould not submit to the Senate taking
control and ignoring the Representatives
of the people. Preference had been given
to diplomats, Judges, military officers,
uud the heads of bureaus over the Repre
sentatives. The Congress of the United
States was authorized to make arrange
ments lor the inaugural ceremonies, and
a single body was not authorized to dic
tate and arrange it. The Senate com
mittee had not done otherwise than offer
au intentional and deliberate discourtesy.
Tne Representatives would have io
answer to their constituents for their dis
courtesy.
MR. LORE’S ADVICE.
Mr. Lore, of Delaware, said that if the
Senate hail delibeiately intended to cast
a slight upon the House, it would be un
worthy of the House to notice it, and it
would be still more beneath the dignity ol
the House to notice the slight, which he
believed to Le unintentional.
Mr. Keliev, of Pennsylvania, stated
that he bad been present at six inaugu
rations, and that the programme on this
occasion was no departure irom prece
dent. The House would dishonor itself
by refusing to attend the ceremonies on
such an apparent slight.
Mr. llamnumd said that he had no in
tention of allowing the Republican Sen
ate to keep him away from seeing Grover
Cleveland inaugurated. It was the first
time that he had had a chance to see it
Democrat inaugurated, and he intended
to see it. [Applause.] He did not pro
pose that anything should keep him Irom
his proper place to witness tlie inaugu
ration of the man in whose hands the peo
ple had placed the sceptre for the next 4
years.
John S. Wise regarded the place which
•laikbeen assigned to the Representatives
as one of the many slight outcroppings of
the growing evidence of the inside supe
rioritv supposed to exist in the Senate o!
tlie United States. In the programme
present* tl the Senate assumed to repre
sent the legislative branch ot the govern
ment atnl allow the poor House of Repre
sentatives to follow along aa a little dog
under a wagon of entertainment. He
was not willing to accept a back seat and
be quiet.
WISE’S DIGNITY.
He dill not look upon the subject from
any party standpoint, but be did feel lim
it involved the question of Representa
tive dignity, which the House had no right
to ignore, or pass. It was an example ol
the self-assumed superiority of th- Sen
ate, a superiority whi ;h the Senators were
inclined to make grow, and grow, anti
grow, which exhibited itselt in the little
social courtesies of the capitol year by
year, until the Representatives of the peo
ple, coming directly from the i>eople, came
to ask themselves “upon what meat do
these our Ctesars feed, they have grown
so great?” He would rather be a door
keeper in the House of Representatives
than a prince in such a palace of Sena
tors. He was glad ot the opportunity
here, and now, to enter an emphatic
protest on behalf ol the Representatives
of the people against these encroachments
of the would-lie aristocratic body—the
Senate of the United States. It was the
right ot the House to tie present at the
inaugural ceremonies as the equal of the
Senate, and it it could not l>e there as an
equal, dignity required that it should not
go at all. He wanted to see the inaugura
tion. The gentleman from Georgia (Ham
mond) wished to see it because it was the
first Democratic inauguration. He
wanted to see it because he thought it en
tirely likely that it would be the last.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, spoke in support of
his resolution, and inveighed against the
action of the Senate as being a deliberate
slight upon the House. He also wanted
to see the inauguration, but he, as a Rep
resentative of the people, was not going
to be in the tail end with the bootblacks.
The House owed it to its dignity, and to
the respect of tbe people it rep’re e ented,
that it should not accept the infeiior sta
tion which the Senate had assigned to it.
Mr. Blount, ol Georgia, apprehended
that the House was acting under the im
pulse of temper and a misunderstanding
of the facts. He trusted that, as tbe }>eo
ple of the country were gathering here to
witness the inauguration, the House
would not do what he believed to be a
puerile thing.
The motion to suspend the rules and
adopt the resolution was lost by 55 yeas
to 188 nays.
COMPLETING THE PLANS FOR THE CERE
MONIES.
The National Democratic Committee
met to-day in the Arlington Hotel
annex. Hon. W. H. Barnum pre
sided, and there was a full attend
ance. The meeting lasted only ten
minutes, aud was devoted mainly to au
exchange of congratulations upon the
success attending the work of the com
mittee and discussion of the part they
should take in the inaugural ceremonies.
It was finally agreed that the members of
the committee should witness tbe pro
ceedings at the capitol, and then take
carriages and r de to the grand staud iu
front of the Executive Mansion and re
view the procession. Secretary Prince
humorously remiuded the gentlemen
present that it bad oeen twenty-five years
since the committee bad met for the
pleasant object which called them to
gether to-day. Tbe meeting was ad
journed subjtctto the call of the Chair
man. The Executive Committee held a
preliminary meeting and approved bills
for expenditures during the campaign.
SAVANNAH. TUESDAY. MARCH 3. 1885.
SCENES IN THE CITY.
The city is already Ailing up with in
auguration visitors, and the principal
streets, public buildings and other places
of interest to sightseers have been throng
ed with them all day. Large crowds fill
the lobbies of all the hotels, and the capi
tol building has been overrun by strang
ers. The committees which have in
charge the several features ot the inaugu
ration ceremonies have nearly completed
their preliminary works, and the street
decorations are in an advanced stage of
preparation. Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to the White House, is in a
blaze of light and color, the Committee
on Illumination having substituted clus
ters of variously-colored globes for the
ordinary street lamps, and citizens hav
ing lent their aid in brightening the scene
by decorating their houses and stores and
stands for spectators, which have been
erected at every point of vantage along
the route.
Among th organizations which have
already arrived in the city are tbe Kansas
City Democratic Club, the Rocbambeau
Grenadiers of New Y'ork, the Flambeau
Club of Topeka, Kan., the Young Men’s
Dem icratie Club of Philadelphia, the
Busch Zouaves of St. Louis, and
the Tam many Society of New York.
Tcis last named organization arrived here
this evening about 970 strong, accom
panied by the Seventh Regiment Band of
New York, and marched up Pennsyl
vania avenue, escorted by the Jackson
Democratic Association and accompanied
by a large crowd of persons amid a dis
play of fireworks. Tug spectators cheered
the society as it marched past. The or
ganization marched by Willard’s Hotel
and serenaded Mr. Hendricks, who came
to his window and bowed his acknowl
edgments. The Rochambeau Grenadiers
were escorted up Pennsylvania avenue to
their quarters by tbe’Light Infantry of
this city. A portion of the Pennsylvania
State militia has arrived, and the entire
body, 750 strong, is expected to reach this
city some time during the night.
MR. HENDRICKS AT THE CAPITOL.
Vice President-elect Hendricks was on
the floor oi the Senate for some minutes
during tbe early alternoon and Senators
without regard to political affiliation took
opportunity to pay their respects to him.
Alter leaving the Senate Mr. Hendricks
went to the hall of the House of Repre
sentatives, near the cloak room on the
Democratic side, where a number of
members greet'd him. Afterwards he
weut to the lobby in the rear of the hall,
where he hi hi an informal reception and
met both Democratic and Republican
Representatives.
DETECTIVES GUARDING CLEVELAND.
Albany, March 2.—Two men who ap

neighborhood of the Towner mansion,
where President-elect Cleveland lives,

to the Chief of Police, and referred him to
Inspector Byrnes to learn what it was.
They were taken before a magistrate and
committed (or further hearing. The latest
supposition is that they were detectives,
employed by friends of Mr. Cleveland
without his knowledge, or the knowledge
of the authorities, to protect him from the
carrying out of threats of violence that
have been made during the lasttwo weeks.
After the detectives were committed
for a hearing, a dispatch was received by
Chief Willard, signed Inspector Byrnes,
which read: “These men are all right.
Let them go.’’ They were then set at lib
erty. Inspector Byrnes arrived on the
240 o’clock train. He said that while he
knew the men to be all right, he could not
have signed the dispatch, as lie left New
York at 10:30 o’clock this morning, in
company with Col. Murphy, while the
men were not arrested until 11 o’clock.
Someone in his office may have signed it.
It transpires that both and tectives have
been here 24 days, hunting up a defaulter,
and were a weekon his track in tbe neigh
borhood of President-elect Cleveland’s
house.
President-elect Cleveland and non.
Daniel Manning and Col. Lament and
their families left here on a special train
on the West Shore Railroad at 6:4oo’clock

BOTH HOUSES THY TO TIHK OUT
OLD FATHER TIME.
Appropriation Clauses Still Cloaking
the Congressional Machinery The
New Orleans Additional Appropria
tion Discussed at Considerable Length
In and 5400.000 Voted For.
Washington, March 2.—Promptly at
9 o’clock to-day Mr. Edmunds called the
Senate to order. On motion nt Mr. Hale
the reading ol the journal was dispened
with. Mr. Hoar submitted the proposed
amendment to the sundry civil bill appro
priating $ 5,000 for the woman’s depart
ment of tbe New Orleans exposition, and
moved that it may be in order, without
reference to the committee, to present
that amendment in tbe Senate when the
bill should come to be considered. The
motion was agreed to.
Mr. Hoar gave notice that to-morrow he
would ask the vote of the Senate, without
debate, on the proposed woman suffrage
constitutional amendment.
The fortification bill was laid before the
Senate aud referred to the Committee on ap
propriations.
Mr. Allison, from the Committee on Appro
priations. reported the sundry civil bill and
asked that it be taken up at once.
Mr. McMillan said that he would object to
its being taken up if it would result in dis
placing tbe unfinished business, that being the
Bioux City and t. Paul land forfeiture bill.
r. Allison said that if the sundry ci .il bill
was not passed to-day Cos egress would have
an opportunity to stay here several davs aTter
March 4
Mr. McMillan, after liscuasion, withdrew
h s objection, aud the sundry civil bill was
taken up and its reading proceeded with.
Ot the 102 printed pages composing the
sundry civd bill, about 50 pages had
teen disposed of hy the Senate by half
past 1 o’clock. The portion disposed or
included an appropriation of $3,950 to reim
burse ex-President It. B. Hayes f>r the
amount paid for the expenses oi the commis
sion appointed to go to Louisiana in April,
1877. The Senate agreed to this item, as to
most of the other recommendations of the
committee, without division or debate.
ATLANTA’S ARMY POST.
After remarks by Messrs. Brown and Col
quitt, the Senate disagreed to the recom
mendation of the Appropriations Committ* e
to strike out the House provision permitting
the expenditure of $15,000 for the purchase
of a site for an army post at Atlanta, Ga.
The item was therefore restored to the bid.
Pendtug the reading of the bill, Mr. Alli
sou. at 3:15 o’clock, remarking that the Com
mittee ou Appropriations deemed au evening
ssssion desirable, moved that the Senate lake
a recess from 6to 8 o’clock. The motion was
agreed to.
Pending further consideration of the bill
tho Chair appointed Messrs. Mitchell. Van
Wyck and Jackson, conferees upon the bill
granting a pension to Mrs. Sarah Jackson.
This is tlie private pension bill passed by the
House, to which tlie Senate added a general
amendment, increasing widows’ pensions
from $8 lo sl2 per month. It went back to the
House, where it had little chance of receiving
consideration before the end of tlie session.
It was recalled to-day upon a resolution of
fered by Mr. Van Wyck, and its remission to
the conference committee will give it ihe
status of a privileged question when next it
g<.es to the House, at and in this situation final
action may be secured.
Senator Aldrich offered the following
resolution, which was read the tecoud time
and laid on the table to be called u,i later:
Jttnolred, That the President of the United
States is hereby authorized to enter into
negotiations with the States of the Latin
l nion, ami such other foreign powers as lie
i hall deem advisable, with tho purpose of
securing such treaties with them as shall
bind the nations agreeing thereto to open
their respective mints to the free coinage of
silver, with full legal tender power, at such
uniform ratio to gold as shall be agreed upon.
THE EXPOSITION CLAUSE.
Consideration of the sundry civil bill was
resumed. On reaching the New Orleans Ex
position item some debate arose. The House
provision was "for the purpose of aiding” the
exposition, $300,000. The Senate committee
increased the amount to $400,000, but made it
lor “final aid.”
Mr. slierman asked why it was increased.
Mr. Harrison asked why SIOO,OOO more should
be given.
•M r. a i lison said that practically, oven from
this time forward, the exposition would lie a
losing business, or at least not more than self
sustaining. There were thirty or forty for
eign governm nts represented at the exposi
tion, and respectably represented. The expo
sition, as an exposition, Mr. Allison believed to
be a success. Congress wasdistinctly informed
last year that it should be naked for no more
than the million lheu appropriated Tlie
praclical situation, Mr. Allison said, was that
if $407000 were now given, the exposition
could, he believed, hold out till .June, and if
only $300,000 It could not last longer than the
m ddle of April or May, but it was a question
for the Senators to say whether any more
money should be appropriated. If nothing
were given at all the exposition could not last
more than a week or two.
THE FINANCIAL SHOWING.
Mr. Allison said that a statement had been
submitted by the manageis showing receipts
apart from gate money of the sum of $1,630,-
s 68. Of that sum SI,OO- >,00.) was contributed
by the United States and *SS4,OOO had been
paid in by the State of Louisiana and indi
vidual subscribers. A statement of the in
dabtedue s had also been submitted showing
that t ie_ aggregate expenditure up to Feb. 1
was $2,070 000. I’rior to the opening of the
exposition the amount expended was $1,700.-
oeo. The present debt was $3'3.071. The
daily receipts were about $2,500 per day.
Mr. Blair said that less than $2 000,000 had
been expendedon thisexposition, wine $7,000,-
0( 0 had been expended on the centennial. \Ve
were holding the Southern people responsible
for too great an achievement if we expected
that they could have done better than tliey
hait dot.e. Charges of corruption should not
be made against the management of the New
Orleans Exposition without anv proof
to sustain such charges. if this
exposition were treated in a whole
hearted way. with national feeling
and in a spirit of brotherly regard, such as
should pretail between all sections of the
country, Mr. Blair believed the exposition
would last a year, and be a magniliaent dem
onstration of the resources of our country.
No further action was taken, as the hour of
recess had arrived.
After 2i minutes the doors were reopened,
and ihe legislative business was proceeded
with.
Mr Jones at once took the floor, but gave
way to permit the submission by Mr. Allison
of the conference report announcing an
agreement ou the legislative, executive ami
jud cial bill. Mr. Allison said every item
had been agreed on except that relating to
the clerks of Senators, as to which the Hou*e
c-mferecs refused to agree. Tlie report was
agreed to. Mr. Allison did not ask for anew
conference.
Mr. I’iumb submitted the conference re
port on the office appropriation bill. lie
explained that all differences had been recon
ciled except three, namely: the provision re
lating to compensation ‘fur the cimage of
foreign mails, that relating to the ten cent
special postage stamps, and the provision au
thorizing the Postmaster Gent ral to pay rent
for third-class post offices. On motion of Mr.
I’ unib the Senate insisted on its amendments
and ordered anew conference.
LOUISIANAIANS DEFENDED.
Mr. Jonas resumed the floor. He said it
would seem that the Senators who opposed
the appropriation for the New Orleans Exposi
tion regarded it as a matter exclusively con
cerning the people of that city and the State
tf Louisiana. It was true, he said, that the
exposition was held in New Orleans, but it
was held pursuant to an act of Congress, the
preamble or which recites the desirableness
of celebrating the one hundredth anniversary
of the manufacture aud production of cotton.
Tlie act provided that au exposition should be
held iu some city identified with commerce in
cotton under tlie joint auspices of ihe United
States,the Cotton Planters’Association and the
city In which the exposition may bo held, and
that the bill had not been introduced bv a
senator or member of Congress from Lonisi
a*.a. The exposition was appointed to be held
in New Orleans rather against Ihe wish of a
Urge portion of the commercial community
of this city, who were expected to contribute
to its success anil who entertained hosest
doubts as to New Orleans occupying the pro
per geographical position for such an exposi
tion. It would have been better to hare held it
at Atlanta, Nashville or Louisville. At either
of those places it might have proved a greater
financial success. But it was located at New
Orleans. Its managers were appointed by
the President of the United States. Their ex
penditures were all properly and faithfuliy
vouched for. The Director General was not
a director, but ;.n executive officer. What he
has done has been in obedience to the orders
and votes of the Board of Managers. Th se
managers and all actively interested in the
maiuEcement of the exposition were among
the best business meu of the South.
They found unexampled difficulties in the
execution of the duties they had undertaken.
The weather hafl been worse than it ever had
been in the memory of the oldest inhabitants.
Railroad difficulties and other difficulties had
been met. The very generosity of the world’s
response, the growth of the enterprise into
such grand proportions, so far beyond the
conception of its projectors, involved difficul
ties. The people who originated it were poor.
Tne Soutti itself was poor They had entered
on the work in Ihe best of faith, aud perse
vered in that faith. It nad been impossible
to foresee the difficulties that were
encountered. While he (Jonas; had never
dreamed ihat it would pay more than current
expensesjyet he had believed, and still be
lieved, it would pay the United states a thou
sandfold in its grand results. Its daily re
ceipts were now, he said, s>,Coh while
the expenses wereon'y $2,500. However, there
had never been au exposition that had been a
financial success. The Centennial Exposition
had only repaid 33 per cent, of the iponey
advanced,
Mr. Brown inquired whether the managers
hail not been appointed by tho President.
Mr. Jonas said: “Yes.”
Mr. Brown asked whether the vouchers of
expenses did net go to the United States
Treasury aud become subject to official tesu
tiny.
Mr, Jonas replied in the affirmative.
Mr. Brown then asked how there cou’d be
any corruption without immediate exposure.
Mr. Jonas had no idea there was any cor
ruption about it. It was possible that some
or the contracts may have been somewhat
liberal, but there was no other respect in
which, so far as he (Jonas) could see, in which
criticism could lie.
Mr Bayard bsllevsd that much of the diffi
culty arose from the present admitted poverty
of our people. Meu who were well off two
years ago did not now feel able to meet ex
penses that at that time they could have met
without embarrassment. Mr. Bayard was
willing to vote for $400,000. believing that the
exposition Was a great one and that Us results
could not fail to lie beneiicial.
Mr. \Y iliiarart asked whose exposition this
was? Wa* it the exposition of the people of
New Orleans or of Louisiana'? No! It was
au exposition of the world's industry and
commerce, the uio-t magnificent exhibition
ever seen by living man. lie (Williams) be
lieved that the peop e of the wli >le country
ought to cultivate a broad brotherhood as
fellow citizens of a great country, tn the
course of his remarks Mr. Williams
said that he had voted for the bill to place
Gen. Grant on the retired list because be be
lieved Gen. Grant to be the greatest soldier of
the age, and that he had filled a larger space
in the public eye than anv man of his lime,
and Sir. vv illiains felt that it would be a great
injustice to Gen. Grant not to place him on
the retired list.
WORK OF THE MANAGEMENT.
Mr. Hawley said that the New Orleans Ex
position seemed, in some respects, open lo
criticism, but, after all, he as astonished
that its managers had done so much with the
money at the r disposal. Th* re certainly
could have been no robbery in the manage
ment. He was perfectly willing to vote for
the bill, though regretting its necessity.
Mr. Harrison predicted that if this amount
were given Congress would be cal'ed on next
year to give S',oo,coo more lo make up further
deficiencies.
Mr. Gibson said that Mr. Harrison’s pre
diction would not lie verified. He described
tlie difficulties under which the exposition
had started, and said that it was now on its
feet and that there would be no failure from
this lime. He (Gibson), for one, wouid uot
say that he would not vote uext year for any
deficiency of half a million referred lo by
Mr. Harrison.
Mr. Harrison asked bow he could refuse
after votiug for this amount.
Mr. Gibson said that he would do it by vot
ing -no” when Ins name Bhould lie called.
There would be no loss to mechanics, he said,
because tlie laws of Louisiana gave them a
lien.
Mr. Beck said that this fact removed from
his mind one serious consideration. He would
vote for Ihe present amendment.
Coming to a vote, the committee’s amend
ment, increasing -he House provision from
S3CO,OUU to SIOO,IOO, was agreed to bv 40 yeas to
16 nays. Those voting in the negative were:
Messrs. Aldrich, Cameron of Wisconsin,
Chaee, Dawes, Dolph, Enmunds, Frye, Hale,
Harris. Harrison. Ingalls, Morrill, I'Lut,
Seweß, Sherman and Wils >n.
The remaining committee amendments
were agreed to sub tantially as they came
irom the > ommittee.
The hill was then read tbe third time ami
passed with the amendments indicated.
Mr. Dawes submitted the conference re
port ou the Indian appropriation bill. The
report was agreed to. The report discloses a
continued disagreement, but, owing to the
lateness of the hour (2:05 a. m. Tuescay), Mr.
Dawes did not ask for further conference.
A great number of amendments were made
to the sundry civil bill, a majority of wli ch
were of local interest only.
A message from the House announced tlie
continued disagreement of that body on the
legislative, executive anil judicial appropria
tion bill.
Th-i Senate turther insisted on its amend
ments and the Chair appointed anew com
mittee of conference.
At 2:30 o’clock the Senate took a recess until
9 o’clock.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House to-day Mr. Randall, from the
Committee on Appropriations, reported back
the naval appropriation bill with ihe Senate
munis recommendiug concurrence in
some, and non-concurrence in others of those
amendments. Tlie amendments were con
sidered in the House as in committee of the
whole. Ihe following is the action upon the
more importance of tlie amendments: Appro
priating $21,000 for the purchase of steel guns
of small calibre, non-concurred in; striking
out the clause prescribing the test to Le made
of 10-inciiguna now in course of construction,
non-concurred in; increasing by S2S,UW) the
appropriation for tbe Bureau of Equipment,
non concurred in; increasing bv $50,000
the appropriation for the Bureau
of lards and Docks, non-concurred in;
limiting to 20 (instead of 30) per cent, of the
estimated cost of new vessels the Bum lo be
applied to the repair of any wooden ship.
This amendment gave rise to a brief debate,
in which the relative merits of iron, steel ami
wood were touched upon, and the propriety
o/ increasing or decreasing the limitation
considered. It was held by thore who opposed
tbe senate amendment that until our navy
was supplied with iron or steel ships wooden
vehtselfj should > e kept on the sen.
Mr. O Neill, of Pennsylvania, in replv to a
suggestion deprecating wooden vessels, cal ed
attention to tho fact that the United States
anti the Constellation, which were built in
the navy yards heiore 1812, had never been
surpassed in speed by sailing vessels.
i be amendment was non-concurred in by T
a vote of 151 yeas to llti nuvs. Striking out the
clause appropriating $400,000 for the comple
tion of the “New York’’ non-concurred tn
by 151 yeas >o 100 nays.
The amendment providing for the new
crui ers, appropriating for the continuat on
of the work on the double- turret ted monitors,
and for tbe purchase of the Destroyer, were
non -concurred in.
This disposed of all the amendments.
Messrs. Hutchins, liandall and Long were
ton°l)?ll con * erees on naval appropria-
Mr. Dennett, of North Carolina, called up
tlie lowa contested election case of Frederick
vs. Areson.
Mr. Valentine, of Nebrahka, raised a ques
tion of consideration. The Republicans rt
irained from voting and the House was left
without a quorum. But on the roll call the
Democrats mustered up a quorum and the
House determined, by 172 yeas lo 2 nays, to
th<! election ease*, fending the vote
Mi . Adams, of New fork, gave notice that at
the conclusion of the consideration of the
emotion case he wou'd move to suspend the
rules and pa s the bankruptcy bill, and, upon
the announcement of the vote, immediately
made a motion to adjourn, but the Speaker
had previously recognized Mr. Bennett to de
bate the contest'd election case, and did not
recognize the motion.
Mr. V alentine, of Nebraska, however, called
the attention of the Speaker to the fact that
the resolution of the committee hail not been
read aud demanded that it be so r* ad.
The B|>eaker recognized the force of this
objection, and directed the Clerk to rend the
resolution. This having been read, the
Speaker was besieged with motions to *=.l-
J ’urn. and recognized Mr. Adams t > make
that motion.
The motion was lost by a vote of II yeas to
195 nays.
Then motions to take recess to 8, 9 and 10
o clock, respectively, were offered. At ihesug
geslion of Mr. Randall, who said that the
Jloiue would be compelled to sit late to
night perhaps until to-morrow morning—
the first named motion was agreed to, and at
0:25 o clock the House took a receßS until 8
this evening.
Immediately on the assembling of the
House the conflict over the contested election
case of Frederick vs. 3Vilson was resumed,
and the audience in the galleries was treated
to a large number of and 1 story motions to take
a recess until 8, 9 and 10 o’clock and till to
morrow morning. The Republicans re
frained from voting, thus leaving the House
without a quorum, and. after two or three in
effectual roll calls, a call of the House was
ordered.
At 10:30 o’clock the proceedings under the
call were dispensed with in order to permit
Mr. Ilolinan to Hiihaiit the conference report
on the legislative, executive and judicial ap
propriation bill.
The report announced an agreement on all
punts of difference except on the Senate
amendment allowing a clerk to each Senator
who is not chairman of a committee.
Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, moved that the
House recede from its disagreement to this
amendment, but in the course of his remarks
expressed the hope that early in the next
Congress the House would either put an end
lo the claims of ihe Senate or maintain its
rights as a co-ordinate branch of the legisla
tive branch of the government and claim
equal privileges on the subject.
There remaius but one of the regular ap
propriation bills before the Senate Commit
tee on Appropriations—the deficiency bill—
ami this will probably be reported by noon
to-morrow.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, was opposed to the
House bowing down before the demands of
the Senate, a body which represented nothing
and which regarded the House as a “ca
naille.”
Mr. Cannon’s motion was lost and the senti
ment was expressed by several members,
notably by Mr. Skinner, of New York, that
they would prefer to hold an extra session to
yielding a point to the Senate. A further
disagreement was insisted upon and a further
conference ordered. The House then resumed
consideration of filibustering motions.
The House spent most of the night in fili
bustering over election cases, and at 2:30
o’clock was taking a recess of 30 minutes.
The Lottery Suits.
Washington, March 2.—ld the United
States Supreme Court to-dav Mr. Shap
ley, counsel tor the defense in the case of
Mr. Dauphin, President ot the Louisiana
Lottery Company, against the Times
Publishing Company of Philadelphia,
moved that that case be advanced. At
torney General Brewster, on behalf of the
United States, joined in similar suits in
volving the same questions brought by
the President of the Louisiana Lottery
Company against government officials,
and said they were a standing menace
and had a direct tendency to impair the
efficiency ot the official administration.
Mr. Moulton, of New York, counsel for
toe lottery company, asked to have until
Friday next to file objections to the mo
tion to advance, which was granted.

AN ANGU’-RUSSi IN WAR.
AFGHANIS I AN t-URNISHING THE
BON $7 OF CON TEN riQ.\.
The Lion Determined to Retain the He
rat an.l Cabul Passes at all Hazards—
Viceroy Itafferin Instructed to Main
tain a Firm Front—Sir Lumsden Still
a Commissioner.
London, March 2.—lt is undoubted in
some circles that war with Russia hangs
hy a thread. The negotiations between
Russia and Englandrespectiogtheßosso-
Afghan frontier are said to have reached
a very delicate stage. M. the
Russian Commissioner, has urged such
sweeping demands that England cannot
accept anything approaching them, aud a
complete collapse of the delimitation pro
ject and an early advance of Russian
troops toward Herat are expected.
Lord Granville, the British Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, to-day sent a long and
very important dispatch bv telegraph to
Prince Giers, the Russian Foreign Minis
ter, regarding the occupation by Russian
troops of points on the Afghan frontier
which are within the boundaries of Af
ghanistan and which command the
passes leading to Herat and Oabul. Tbe
dispatch - is couched in language that is
very firm and vigorous and it is almost
equivalent to a formal ultimatum from
Great Britain to Russia.
NO BACK DOWN.
It plainly intimates that Great Britain
is resolved to piotect, at all hazards,
strategic points in Afghanistan, which, in
the hands of would menace the
British possessions in India. Russia is
also warned that Great Britain will, un
der no circumstances, entertain the Rus
sian demands for the cession of any por
tion of the territory belonging to her aliv,
the Ameer of Afghanistan. A copy of this
dispatch has been sent to Lord Dufferin,
Viceroy of India, and he has been in
structed to reassure the Ameer of Af
ghanistan of tbe continued friendliness
of Great Britain, and ot his determina
tion to resist any achievements upon his
territorial rights.
sir lumsdkn’s commissionership.
Sir Peter Lumsden, British member of
the Afghan Frontier Commission, recent
ly offered his resignation in disgust at the
delay of the Russian Government in send

WALES’ TRIP TO litELAM).
Dublin’s Mayor Round to Give Vent to
no False Enthusiasm.
Dublin, March 2. —Among the speak
ers at the Phoenix Park meeting yesterday
were Messrs. Mayne, Harrington and
O’Brien, members of Parliament. Mr.
O’Brien said that he believed that the
Irish triumph in the House of Commons
on the censure division had sounded tbe
death knell of the disgraced Ministry of
coercion. He thought that they ought to
pass a resolution of condolence with the
Speaker of the House of Commons rather
than censure him. The speaker needed con
solation more than he (O’Brien) did, and
the Irish party had a deep and sincere
respect for a few of the English mem
bers ot the House of Commons, especially
Mr. Gladstone, who was prominent in
personal character, intellect, and in ten
derness toward Ireland. He hoped that
tbe Irish people would not show disre
spqpt toward the Prince of Wal* s, but he
ought to be shown empty streets and
ruined indifttries—the result ot English
rule.
The Mayor, in returning thanks, said
that hd would haul tbe flag from the
Mansion House as soon as the Prince of
Wales landed at Kingstown, and would
not spend a penny for decorations.
At a meeting of the Municipal Council
to-day, presiding Councillor May gave
notice that at the next meeting of the
Council he would move that the monu
ment to King George 1., at present stand
ing In the Mansion House grounds of the
Lord Mayor’s residence, should be re
moved to some lumber yard.

St. Albans, Vt., March 2.—Receiver
Roberts has caused the propertv of the
Directors of tbe First National Bank to
oe attached preliminary to a suit against
them for $200,000. This suit was brought
against the Directors as trustees for stock
holders for violation of trust in misman
agement of the funds, and for allowing
Albert Sowies, the cashier, to run the in
stitution as be wanted to, and false rep
resentations concerning dividends. It is
learned that tne suit has no bearing on
the failure to meet the assessment, and
would have been brought ir tbe assess

King and Pope.
Rome, March 2.—The Fanfulla says
that the Spanish Minister here recently
invited King Humbert to inspect articles
which had been collected for a lottery in
aid of the earthquake sufferers in Spain.
The Spanish Ministers to theQuirinaland
Vaticau both reside in the same
house, and Cardinal Jacobini, the Papal
Secretary of State, wrote a letter giving
warning that if King Humbert was re
ceived in the apartments of the repre.
sentative to the Vatican, the Papal nun
cio at Madrid would he recalled. A par
tition dividing the apartments was ac
cordingly hastily constructed. The
Italian Government has addressed a com
plaint to the Madrid Cabinet in regard to
the matter.

shocks of earthquake were felt Sunday at
Granada, Loje and Alhama, in Spain. A

fatal-tie.B occurred among village people.

Washington, March 2.—W. F. Vilas
and his family, and William C. Whitney
are in town. Mr. Vilas Is Mr. Letter's

ney has taken a house on Connecticut
avenue. This is taken as an Indication
that Mr. Whitney will certainly go into
the Cabinet.
VICTORY OF THE GEORGIANS.
Messrs. Hammond and Blount, of
Georgia, deserve the thanks of the coun
try for preventing the House to-day from
doing a very foolish thing. Had it not
been for their efforts the House might
have refused to take any part in the in
auguration ceremonies. The House has
been shabbily treated by the Senate in
connection with these ceremonies. The
Senate has arrogated to itself exclusive
control of all the preparations. It has
ignored the House almost entirely.
When it came to the
distribution of tickets lor seats .n the
galleries of the Senate and on the plat
form for Wednesday the Senate Commit
tee of Arrangements coolly gave each
Senator and Senator-elect five tickets,
while eaoh Representative and Delegate
got but two and Representatives-elect
uone at all. The House ts very sore as a
result ot this harsh treatment. So when
Mr. Mids, of Texas, a fiery and eloquent
individual, moved to-day the passage,
under a suspension of the rules,
of the resolution declaring that the
House, having been assigned to poor
seats, “another ot its grievances,” would
not attend the inaugural ceremonies at
all, the House was ready to rush it right
through on only a motion for a second,
“which requires a bare majority.” The
vote was 138 yeas to but 8 nays. Then a
motion to suspend was put and carried
by an almost unanimous shout. If this
vote could have been made final the reso
lution would have been passed, but Mr.
Hammond boldly asserted the right to de
bate and made his point. The debate
killed tbe resolution. It had but 55 votes
to 184 against it, after the discussion hail
given the House something to think about
and time in which to think.
INAUGURATION NOTES.
The Line ol March—The Ball Uooin.
Washington, March 2.—The premoni
tory hum of inauguration day increases
in volume. A subject of considerable dis
cussion and difference of opinion between
Gen. Slocum, the Grand Marshal, and the
Inaugural Committee has been whether
the line of march should bo kept clear of
spectators from curb to curb. Gen. Slo
cum, as well as the Chief of Police, rep
resented that the military could not form
sucb long lines as to reach across the
wide avenue and would prefer not to
march along the car tracks in the centre
of the street, so that one-halt of the street
may be surrendered to the public. The
committee, however, maintained their po
sition that the parade would be more im
posing if the military marched in the cen
tre of the avenue and the public were
kept on the sidewalks. Gen. Slocum has
acquiesced in this view. It is estimated
that 175,000 people can be packed on the
sidewalks of Pennsylvania avenue, from
First to Seventeenth streets.
In order that the avenue may not get
blockaded by the whole body of soldiers
marching to the capitol as escort to Mr.
Cleveland, it has been decided that only
the first division, composed of regulars
and District militia, will escort him from
the Arlington Hotel to tho capitol, the
other three divisions forming in Mary
land, New Jersey and Delaware avenues,
east of the capitol, and falling into lino
after the inaugural ceremonies. The
route will be by the north side of the capi
tal to Pennsylvania avenue, to Washing
ton circle, to K street, to Connecticut
avenue, to Rhode Island avenue, to Mas
sachusetts avenue, to Fourteenth street,
where the parade will be dismissed. The
committee asserts that 25,000 men will be
in line.
The inside of the pension building,
where the ball-room is, presents an ani
mated appearance. Workmen are busy
in every direction. While the small pil
lars around the room lend themselves
easily to decoration, the eight mammoth
brick columns in the centre defy all at
tempts to make them things of beauty.
They have been draped with white muslin
and wound in diamond design with ever
greens. A mass of bunting has been used,
but the plant decoration is as vet sparst
owing to delays. The trial of the acous
tics of the building by the Marine Band
was pronounced satisfactory. There wili
be twenty-three selections on the order of
dancing, the opening march being at 11
p. m. From 9toll a promenade concert
of six selections will be given by the Ma
rine Band of fifty pieces. The Germania
Orchestra, of Philadelphia, of 100 pieces,
will supply the dance music. Gen. M. C.
Meigs, architect of tbe building, has tested
the ventilation, and found it such as to
change the entire volume of air every five
minutes. The heating apparatus was
also tried, and produced a temperature ot
70 degrees. It is thought that a warmth
of about 60 degrees will be sufficient and
can be maintained. There will be forty
six of the Siemens turners to illuminate
the interior.
KOBBEHN WARMLY RECEIVED.
Curious Attempt to Steal from a State
Treaiury.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 28.—An unsuc
cessful attempt to rob the State Treasury
was made at 1 o’clock this alternoon. One
robber was mortally wounded and one
captured. Three hundred collars was
taken, but it was recovered. The wounded
robber died at 4 o’clock. His name was
James Griffin, a noted criminal, who has
killed his man and been engaged in a
number of small thieving affairs. The
captured man is Alvin McGuire, another
notorious thief, who has also scored his
man. It transpires that tbe third man,
who escaped, was in collusion with detec
tives, and decoyed the other two into the
daring crime.
The following details are from the State
Journal extra: “About 2 o’clock this
afternoon three men walked quietly into
the State Treasurer’s office, drew re
volvers and said to Deputy Treasurer
Bartlett, who stood behind the railing,
‘Hold up your hands,’ the muzzles of the
pistols almost touching his head through
the railing. Bartlett answered: ‘What
does this mean, men? Is it fooling or
business?’but his hands went up all the
same. ‘No talk,’ answered the man who
acted as leader. ‘Just hand out the
money, and be quick about it.’ Bartlett
passed out through the railing about S3OO
saying in a loud voice, ‘Here it is; help
yourselves.’ Two of the men then turned
to the door, the third backing out and re
covering the retreat with a oocked revol
ver drawn on Bartlett. The loud
tone employed by Bartlett was a signal
to detectives Pound and Davis, who were
concealed in an adjoining room. Hearing
it, they stepped into the hall just as two
of the robbers passed out of tbe Treas
urer’s public door. The detectives shout
ed ‘Halt,’ but no attention was paid by
the fleeing men, who afterward proved to
be Jim Griffin and Al McGuire. Griffin,
being one-legged, wr.s behind, A moment
later the report of a shotgun was heard.
Griffin fell on the porch steps with ten or
twelve buckshot in his Uick and right
shoulder. McGuire was captured before
he could mount a horse, which was tied
about forty feet flora the door. At t*- f .
moment the gun was fired in the hill the
third man, who is unknown unless to de
tectives, stopped, closed the door instead
of passing through, and, turning, vent
through a door behind tbe railing, ran
across the room, jumped out of an open
window apd made his escape. No pur
suit <)£ this mysterious individual seems
to have been made.
“The money was recovered by Pound
who returned it to the Treasurer. It apl
pears that Pound and Davis knew an at
tempt was to be made, and bad an under
standing with Bartlett that he should talk
to the robbers loud enough to be heard in
their mace of concealment. The descent
has been looked for any day during the
past week, fhe robbers had visited the
capitol several times, but some hitch of
arrangements deterred them from the
robbery until to-day. There is a mystery
about the affair, especd&Uy the part taken
by the detectives, that has created almost
as much furiosity as excitement,. This
may be eeared up when the escaped rub
ber is arrested, if he ever is.”

DISAPPOINTMENT AMONG THE REBELS.
Messengers have arrived here from

the small amount of plunder which they

addition to their numbers of the garrison

appear at ail willing to encounter the
English troops, and El Mahdi is In con
stant fear ol treachery on tne part of his
chiefs, among whom great dissension
exists.
it is reported that the British troops
will remain in the vicinity of Korti
during tne summer and be lodged in
straw nuts. The greatest fears are enter
taiued concerning the effects of the torrid
ueat and the most conservative think that
the mortality among the troops will be
large, although perhaps not as great as it
would be during a continued retreat un
der the desert suu. The Arabs undoubt
edly are lully aware of the existence of a
number of hidden wells in the desert, and
this knowledge, it is thought, will enable
mem, despite the destruction of the pub
lic wells by Gen. buller, to follow and
harass the British with large forces.
THE CABINET'S POSSIBLE COLLAPSE.

Mrs. Greely has personally solicited edi

letter reads us follows:
“Lieut. Greely is a man with a very

seeking to inert o. - before anything is
done for the heij. a widows. In my
ease, I cannot even s ! i <cive the salary
of my husband due and a half years

widows lelt dependent because of the
neglect ot this government. My sorrow
is greatly due to Greely, for whom 1 have
contempt. lie pretended to wish to
hasten to Washington to see the accounts
ot his comrades, while it is proved he
hastened for his own honor. He has pre
tended to facilitate my matters, and has,
on the sly, put a claim of nearly S3OO
against my pittance of back salary for
overdrawn rations. Even the Auditor
told our Congressman that such a shame
ful claim must not appear before the
world; that they hoped to credit it to
Greely. The S3OO will be taken from me,
but the language will be changed so as to
look better for Greely.”
