Washington, Fob. 10—Beginning with
tomorrow there yet remains to this Con
gress hut eighteen days in which to
transact business and close up its af
fairs. Despite the faxjt that the end is
mi near, hut one of the thirteen appro
priation bills that provide for Govern
ment expenditures for the year ending
June 30, 1800, has become a law uud
received tins signature of tiie Fresidcnt—
the Military Academy hill. The Army
lull lias been signed by the offieers of
Isith 1 louses and has gone lo the While
House; there are in conferenee the l’en
won , Fortifications and the Dint riot of
t’oluinbin lulls. The Diplomatic hill pass
ed the Senate yesterday after the
long debate on the subject of the Ha
waiian cable. There are now on the
Senate calendar the 1'oatoifice and In
dian bills, and Chairman Cockrell ex
pects to report the Agricultural bill to
morrow .
The two bills now before the Senate
will he subjected hi much detsite, hut
the degree to which it may he protected
depends entirely upon the attitude of
those in charge with regard to the with
drawing of certain ohjr ttollable amend
ments that have been made.
Tiie first, hill to he celled up is the
Fostorthre Appropriation hill, A t. the
solicitation of Mr. Vilas (lie committee
lias reporttsl an amendment to the hill
providing that the Government shall own
the postal cars ill use on tiie different
roads carrying Hie fast mails. The Re
pulblicans look upon this n.s the first step
m the direction of Government owner
ship of railroad* and will antagonize tiie
amendment . Another and far more im
portant a mend meat, standpoint, more object!onaiiie
from a political in one Hint
places tiie expend'd ure for $3,000,000 special ap
propriated for t he support of the
fast mail facilities at the nboolute dis
cretion of tin* First master General. This.
Hie Republicans say, is oonfbary to all
precedents. They maintain that Con
gl’f'HN Stself slum'll stipulate where and
how this money should he spi-nt. So
long ti« this amendment is permitted to
remain as a part of the bill, Republican
leaders sny they will not permit it to
pass. Necessarily it follow* that this
Mil will precipitate a. good deal of dis
cussion, unless those in charge of Hie
me*s 11 re capitulate early in the fight
to the opposition that will he raised to
these two nmndments.
'The passage of tihe I’ostoflice bill will
lie followed by ft struggle between the
Pooling and Bankruptcy MIL Mr. But
ler some days ago tiie introduced a resolution
which makes Pooling bill the unfin
ished business and keeps it. before the
Somite until finally acted upon. He
gave notice that he would call it up
immediately after the passage of the
I’ostoflice bill, and this contest, will prob
ably occur some time 'Tuesday. Tiie Ite
publio-ans, who are against, the Bank
rn ptoy hill, will assist in substituting
the Pooling hill for it, but such a vic
tory would ho of no material benefit
to the Pooling hill, for it would he set
aside for appropriation bills or talked
to death, which latter seems to be the
sure fate of the bankruptcy measure
in case the Pooling bill should not dis
place it. There appears little hope of
the Pooling hill ever renehing the final
singe, for a number of senators, capable in
of unlimited speech, ready and willing antagonize to
dulge therein, are to
it, and they could easily at Ihis late day,
send the Pooling bill to an untimely
end.
It Is immaterial whether the Agricul
tural or the Indian hill comes up next.
Ghanges in both of them will he de
manded by the Republicans. At the last
session the Republicans, against the
opposition of the Democrats, hail a mil
lion dollars appropriated thistles, for the this extermi
nation of Russian appro
priation going on to the Agricultural
bill carries nn amendment reported by
the committee appropriating extermination the same the
amount for tlm of
Gypsy motih, which will be fought by
the Republicans. In addition to this there
is said to have been present In the hill
some new and objectionable before paragraphs hill
that must ho expunged the
can pass tiie Senate.
The consideration the Indian
will probably he preceded reorganization by that of a
bill providing for Hie of
the courts in fhe Indian Territory. If
this is not done in a separate measure
it will lie put upon the bill as an amend
ment, hut the committee prefers that it
shall come before the Senate ns an in
dependent proposition. This reorganiza
tion is the outgrowth of the report of
fhe Dawes commission and the personal
investigation made by a sub-committee
of the Committee on Indian Affairs. Mr.
Platt, a leading member of the commit
tee, and its chairman under the Republi
can organization, insists that this Mil
shall pass before tiie Indian Appropria
tion bill becomes a law. In this he is
supported by a number of Democrat*,
who recognize Hie great The need Indian for the
legislation suggested. productive bill
proper will be of a long de
bate, inasmuch ns it has been amended
very Republican largely by the Senate committee.
members of the Indian Com
mittee do not hesitate to say that the
hill lias been loaded with a great deal
of objectionable Watt stuff will lead that the must debate he cast
out. Mr. on
SS-Tcrs; has placed sAAfoaMS large number of
upon It a
amendments, the following being the
most important: Affecting the rights of
the Choctaws nnd the Ohlekaaawa ami
suils relating thereto in the Court Of
Claims; to enable the President under
the act to provide for the allotment of
hiiuU in severalty to the Indians to
cause Bitch lamia as are advantageous
for grazing and agriculture to he super
vised and complete the allotment, open
ing negotiations with the Belkamp In
dians for the surrender of a part of their
lands in Montana; make proceedings
with the Blaokfoot Indians of Montana
and Indians in other States; appropriate
ing $400,000 for the survey of lands in
the Indian Territory, providing for leg
tsl.ition in the matter of attorney fees
and Indian claims; extending the laws
in regard to the rights of homestead
settlers on Indian lands; and ninny
other amendment* involving matters
which, it is claimed. Should come he
fore t\mgross as independent apptvpria
tion*.
Meanwhile the Republicans having ail
their votes present, ns they together
with the Populists making the majority,
Mr. Allen will take the first opportunity
that presents itself this week to cal! up
his resolutions providing for the af^oint-
ment of a committee to Inrestlgat* the
Alabama elections; and Mr. Call, if he
is able to amend hie lottery bill, ne soon
as he ie able to make it clear to the Re
publican*, will do likewise. There is
chance of the Republican* assisting In
the passage of both theae resolutions,
and thus getting two investigation com
mi I tees at work. In any event they
will be useful in consuming time and
preventing the discussion of other meas
ures to which the Republicans are op
posed . precipitate
'Die Republicans may by the a
discussion of financial affairs

tion. It is apparent that the Finance
Committee will do nothing, although the
President’s message will doubtless be
discussed at the meeting next Tuesday,
Should nothing come of it the message
will, it is understood he brought be
fore the Henate for discussion through
some other channel. The Republicans
tire willing that a financial measure
should receive ample consideration, and
will lend all the assistance newled to
get some scheme, practicable in their
estimation, before the Senate at any
time wlien the Democrats will indicate
their willingness to co-operate with
them. A financial debate this week is
riot among the improbabilities .
A strictly business air will characterize
the transactions of_ the managers of the

of the session. Immense pressure is
being brought to hear on the Committee
on Itules for orders for tiie considers'
Won of this or that measure, which its
advocates deem to lie of rarest import
ance; lint members of the committee
saM yesterday that; until the approprta
t.mn hills were all out of the way no
arrangements would he made lor the
consideration of the special lulls.. Of
course this decision of the committee
is not inflexible. like the laws of the
Modes and Persians, and should the
Commititce on Ways and Means come to
the improbable conclusion to recommend
the passage of a hill giving the Secretary
of the Treasury authority to issue 3
per cent, gold bonds, in accordance
with the suggestion contained in Pres
ident Cleveland’s financial message to
Congress dotilrlless a day would be
granted for its discussion. But no hill
of that nature Is expected within the
period remaining of the existence of
the Fifty-third Congress.
The program outlined for this week
contemplates the passage of the Legisla

TION OFTHE DETECTIVES.
It Mas 11 Merc Allegation Lnsup
ported 1>>- Facts.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10.—(Special.)—An
erroneous impression detrimental to
Solicitor Lewis M. Thomas, of the city
court has been created by some of the
reports of the police board investiga
tion. It was alleged by the accusers of
the detectives that they had received
pay from Solicitor Thomas for prose
cuting lewd women and gamblers in
his court. While the charge was highly
sensational, it developed that it was
wholly unfounded in fact, but the mere
allegation of such a state of affairs
without a complete report of the evi
dence bearing upon that part of the
Investigation does Solicitor Thomas
Injustice.
There was no evidence tending to
show that he had given the detectives
anything, except the testimony of Capt.
Geo. B. Forbes, who swore that when
he wan a deputy clerk in 1S92, $25 was
paid over to Solicitor Thomas to pay
Chief of Police Connelly and the de
tectives for making cases against five
women and that the grand jury had
indicted these same women and Solici
tor Hill had nol prossed the case be
caur^e they had been fined in the city
court. Solicitor Thomas on the stand
said Captain Forbes had been drinking
so long that his mind was impaired
and that he was drunk at the time he
his evidence.
Deputy Sheriff Blount, when put up,
swore that the‘$25 referred to by Forbes
had been paid on Feb. 8, 1892, anil the
records of the office were introduced to
substantiate him. Solicitor Thomas did
not take the office until Feb. 23, 1893,
so it was clearly etstablished that lit
had nothing to do with the transaction,
but that hie predecessor handled the
$35. To further prove Solicitor Thomas’s
disconnection with the transaction So
licitor Hill testified that the grand jury
had not Indicted any women since So
licitor Thomas went into office, that he
never nol protssed any bills and that
Forbes was mistaken. Chief Connelly
also swore Solicitor Thomas had never
paid him any money. tTiat
Solicitor Thomas said his un
pardonable sin was that he refused to
“let up” on John Loyd, a well-known
gambler with influential friends, and
that the gamblers and other criminal
characters are trying to throw mud
upon him because of his vigorous prose
cut ion of them.
.Southern Steamship
Tiie railroads comprising the South
i-i ii Railway and Steamship Association
will hold an important meeting here on
next Tuesday. This meeting will be
preceded on Monday, the 11th, by a
conference of the State committee of the
association, and that meeting will also
be of unusual importance.
It its expected that the fate of the
Southern Passenger Association will be
determined at Tuesday’s meeting. Foi
six mouths the association has been
held together by the slenderest thread.
Several attempts have been made to get
the different lines interested together
to settle the question of the associa
tion's future existence one way or the
other but no quorum could be obtained.
There is considerable doubt of a quo
rum being present at the Tuesday
meeting, and another indefinite delay
may be caused on that account. Until
a new agreement is made or the assoc
iation falls to pieces the clerks here
who do the work will be on the anx
ious bench. Commissioner Stalilman is
himself doubtful of the future existence
of the passenger association, because,
he says, some of the lines will not keep
an agreement after it is made.
