WiausoTON, January 5—At the expira
tion of the morning hour the House went
into committee of the whole, on the Indian
appropriation bill. Mr. Wellborn, of Tex-
la gave a general outline of the appropria
tion! of the bill, and upon his statement
that there was no legislation contained in
the bill, general debate was dispensed with
and the bill wav read by paragraphs. An
amendment was adopted making amena
ble to the laws of the United States any In-
diaain Indian Territory who commits mur
der, manslaughter or assault upon the per
son of any Indian poliooman appointed un
der the lawa of the UnitedStates, or of any
Indian deputy United States marshal. The
biU gave rise to no opposition in any of its
features,, and the committee having arisen,
it vaa pasaed without disousBion or divis
ion. It appropriates $5,116,000.
Tho Military Academy appropriation bill
vaa then taken up and pasaed within a
qurter of an hour.
The Speaker laid before the House the
following communjcation, dated Washing
ton, D, R,, December 31,1886:

were railroads to do if prohibited from mak-

taught that the old rate wars would begin
again, and the end of it would be (w it

monopolies of this country had been bnilt
on the graves of weak competitors, and the
bill invited a grand monopoly of railroad
capital in this country, which would be
built on the grarce ot railroads that are not
able to stand competition. That railroad
monopoly would be the master of the peo

He believed it better to let little oountry
stores live than to build up great mercan
tileestablishments at their expense. He
believed it better to let weak railroads live
than to bnild one magnificent railroad oor-

busineas of the oountry the same position
as the Western Union Telegraph Company
bears to the telegraphic business of the

Air. Morgan stated the reaaons whioh
would influence his vo.e against the bill.
Ho was not content with it in respeot of its
iraotical effect open the people of his own
State. Alabama was at the farther south
ern margin of the United States. The mar
kets in which her people bought their dry
goods and a large part of their groceries
wore at the far northeast, and there was a
broad intervening area between them. The
markets in which they bought their food
supplies, Chicago, St.Louis and Cincinnati,
were also far distant from Alabama. The
markets in whioh they sold their prodnots
were all distant. They bad a vast area
to cross in getting either to tho market of
the purobaser or the market of sale, so that
any bill which forced a railroad company to
raise their charges on freights for long
hanls would be necessarily inimical to the
best interests of his State. That the prac
tical statement of the reasons why he op
posed the bill would be quite sufficient, he
said, to justify him in the course he felt
compelled to take toward it. Bat he had
other reaaons. Ho then proceeded to argue
that States wero perfectly competent to
deal with this subject, and that The inter
ference of the Federal government would
lead to still further invasions until the
management of railroads would even
tually become the moat absorbing business
of Congress. He declined to enter on that
field, and would not do so voluntarily. As
a citizen he bowed to the decision of the
Sripreme Court, but as a Senator he quee-
tinned it with a s«n»« of duty which would
not permit him to adopt it. He could not
snbsoribe to tho dootrine that inter-State
commerce could only bo practiced through
the action of Congress. Tho bill was based
solely on that false premise. It opened the
door to tho interference of Congress with
•very regulation ot trade and oommeroe. It
exposed the charter of every railroad com-
oany given by States to modifications
hrough acta of Congress. For a
hundred years tho States had
assisted und protected inter-State
commerce. Congress, doubting the extent
of Us powers, had peimltted auqji assistance
and protection on the part of the States and
in doing so had blessed tho country by its
inaction. The principle of this bill would
end in making merchandise of politics
while it ruined business. He admitted
whet had been said na to the infferingz and
wrongs ot the people through the greed of
railroad companies, but in finding a remedy
for the evil, he neither wished to find for
the people n now master (remote from them
and their influence) in Congress, nor to
place in the bands of that master power
over their trade and traffio more dangerons
to them than even tho power of the rail
road company. As he read this bill (the
nterpretation of whioh was so uncertain
hat every one had to interpret it for him
self,) it necessitated on inorease of rates on
long hauls in all cases where roads oonld
not sacrifice a large port of their income
lie was convinced that the roads to coal and
iron fields of Alabama could not do that,
and tho harden would fall very heavily upon
those new Industrie# of Alabama, and would

TH1 ACCIDENT AT REPUBLIC.
Nine el the DUHsitreil Hodlee Still Unldentl-
n-d-Flelcher lterpacilble.
Tims, O., January 5 —Every vestige of
yesterday's horrible accident has heen re
moved from the scene and traffio has been
resumed. All that remains to tell the tale
ii a few charred timbers, which are being
covered to-day by the snow, and the horri
bly bnmed trnnks of nine bodies, which
were disfigured beyond recognition. These
have been cared for by an undertaker at
Republic, and will bo kept as long es pos
sible, bo that friends may identify them.
Every piece of bnmed clothing, keys and
everything that was not utterly destroyed
has been gathered up to aid in the identifi
cation of the bodies. These will be held by
the coroner, who will immediately institute
- thorough investigation.
The responsibility of the accident is now
placed upon the freight conductor, Fletcher,
who pulled out of a siding four miles west
of Itepublio without orders, intending to
make the siding at Itepublio for the pas
senger traiD. He missed his calculation
nst one mile, and the remains of the un-
tnown victims testify to his criminal care,
lessness. Telegrams from many points arc
constantly being received, making inquiries
for friends supposed to bo lost. Most ot
them are happily assured of the safety of
their friends, but not a few are still in
doubt

The reason for these maneuvers has been c

the 200 or 300 troops heretofore stationed
at Paso del Norte, the number is
to be increased to 1,000, and the headquar
