The Salaries 1VI11 Not be Cat.
CHICAGO , Nov. 25. The world's fair
national commission adopted a num
ber of committee reports , including
that of the judiciary committee oppos
ing a reduction of salaries. The report
of the executive committee on the es
tablishment of bureas , and that of the
tariff and transportation committee in
regard to apportionments wers refer
red to the special committe which yes
terday reported on the powers of the
commission Another important ac
tion was the decision of the question
whether or not money awards should
be granted to exhibitors. The live
stock men are demanding subtstantial
awards in cash and threatening not to
make an exhibit unless the demands
are complied with. Commissioner Rus
sell of Nevada introduced a resolution
that the local directory be asked to
appropriate $200,000 for live stock
premiums. This carried and immedi
ately thereafter the report of a joint
committee on awards was introduced ,
providing that there shall be awards
to consist of parchment certificates , ac
companied by bronze medals , to be
granted upon specific points of excel
lence or advancement formulated by a
board of judges or examiners. In the
opinion of the joint committee it is em-
inetly fitting that the government
should furnish' these certificates and
medals , especially in the case of for
eign exhibits , but there does not ap
pear to be any provisions made there
for in the existing appropriation of
congress. * This report was laid over.
Then a more complicated matter
came up on the question , "What are
the lady managers here for ? " After
floundering about for some time in a
state of great uncertainty , the com
missioners laid the matter on the ta'Sle
and the ladies were left to settle the
matter to suit themself.
Tbe Farmers Fighting for Fare Food.
The following resolutions were adopted by the
Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association of the State
of Illinois in Convention assembled at Spring
field , on the 21st day of October , 1890 , by a very
large vote :
AVnEBEAS , There has been introduced into the
Senate of the United Statsa % bill known ns the
Paddock Pure Food Bill , ( Senate Bill No. 3991) ) ,
which bill was referred to the Agricultural Com
mittee of the Senate and reported favorably by
the lion. A. S. Paddock , Chairman of said Com
mittee ; and
WHEREAS , Tinier the provisions of said bill all
drugs and food products are required to be prop
erly branded when offered for sale , and all adult
erations prohibited under heavy penalties , thus
preventing fraud , and enhancing the value of all
farm products , therefore
Be it resolved. That we favor the passage of the
said Paddock Bill , but oppose any measure of
taxation such as the Conger Compound Lard Hill ,
which is class legislation taxing one industry for
the benefit of another.
Be it further Resolved , That a memorial to Con
gress be prepared setting forth our views , and
that as delegates we affli our signatures to the
same.
THE NEXT SESSION.
A. Forecast of Legislation in tlie Com
ing Congress.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 25. Washing
ton will not fill up to any appreciable
extent incident to the convening of
congress till the end of the week. At
present there are less than fifty sena
tors and representatives in the city and
few of the officers of either house. So
far there has been no caucus held &nd
no preliminary work is expected , so
that it is only necessary , in .order to
conform to duty to be here one week
from Monday at noon. There is every
prospect of a very full attendance in
both houses from the first to the last'
day. It is understood that the presi
dent will have a vigorous message and
that he will make recommendations
for much important legislation. As
the session will be of but ninety days'
duration , closing March 4 , there will
have to be quick and determined work.
A strong effort will be made to pass
the election bill , but it is extremely
doubtful if it can get through the sen
ate in any form. The house has lost
none of its faith in the measure , but
there are many republican senators
who doubt the propriety of the adop
tion of the measure. They argue that
the conditions which result in a prac
tical disfranchisement of the negro
south and also the poor whites who
would vote the republican ticket will
adjust themselves if left alone.
The stringent money market and the
flurry on Wall street have combined
to defeat the possibility of the adop
tion of a bankrupt bill. It is feared
that if there was such a measure it
would invite many business failures at
such times as these.
Something will be done to enlarge
the circulating medium. Probably
national banks will be given circula
tion to the full value of bonds depos
ited with the United States treasurer.
This will enlarge the circulation about
$14,000,000 , and if the redemption re
serve is given out will increase it to
about $20,000,000.
A snipping bill will be passed and
something done towards the immigra
tion question. Probably the head tax
will be passed , but no law will be
passed which will make it more diffi
cult for an honest intentioned foreigner
to enter our portals.
It is possible , although not proba
ble , that a free silver coinage bill will
be passed , but since the impression is
strong that the president would veto
such a measure , it is not likely that it
could get out of the house committee
on coinage , weights and measures.
A congressional reapportionment
bill will be passed.
Senator Paddock's pure food bill
will probably be passed as a substitute
to the Conger lard bill , the former
being free from the outgrowth of busi-
ness rivalry , general in terms and far
superior to the latter.
In short there will bo much of im
portance to do in this session and there
will bo practically a full attendance
from the first to the last day.
Postal Telegraphy.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 25. Postal tel
egraphy will occupy a large portion of
Postmaster General Wanamakor's an
nual report. He will urge it with
earnestness and present it in a new
light. The postmaster general is study
ing the question of a parcel post simi
lar to that in use in England and on
the continent. At present the postal
services of this country carries pack
ages of only four pounds' weight , while
under the international postal treaty
packages are taken from this to other
countries which are eleven pounds in
weight. The postmaster general be
lieves that we should carry packages
to the weight at least of eleven pounds ;
and that in connection with the postal
service there should be a parcel postal
service , so that quite all of the express
small packages at present may be car
ried at fourth-class postal rates. The
express companies will fight this prop
osition bitterly , because it means an
immense curtailment of their business
and the merchants in small cities will
oppose it on the ground that it will
give the merchants in large cities an
advantage and that customers through
out the country will order goods from
large merchants. The farmers' alli
ance and labor unions will back up the
proposition for a parcel post and will
also demand that the express com
panies be placed under the provisions
of the interstate commerce law.
The War Department Aronsed.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 22. Acting In
dian Commissioner Bell yesterday re
ceived a telegram from Special Agent
Cooper at the Pine Ridge agency say
ing the Indians are still dancing. The
police report that thirty Rosebud In
dians have arrived at this reservation
and GOO or 700 more are en route to
the agency. We hope to settle this
Indian craze without bloodshed. All
kinds of rumors are in circulation.
In the course of the afternoon the
following telegram was received at the
war department from General Miles :
The number of Indians going from the
Rosebud agency to the Pine Ridge
agency is increasing. Advices show
this Messiah craze extending to our
Indians near the mountain border and
between the home nations and Canada.
Secretary Proctor curried the dis
patches to the cabinet meeting and
they formed the subject of discussion.
Secretary Proctor & : iys a sujrjjestion
made by ( Jefn'rr.l Miles that troops
! other than his own command be got
I in readiness to reinforce him had al-
{ rendy been anticipated. Onlsrs were
sent to the commanding officers of
troops as far south as Texas to pre
pare the men for movement if an
emergency arises. In any event it is
the intention of the department to re
inforce the troops in the Dakotas dur
ing the winter , and they will be moved
in from other divisions. In this way
it is expected that the department will
be able to mass an overwhelming force
at the agencies where the excitement
is at its height so as to suppress any
Indian uprising in the spring.
Big Foot \VI11 be AVatclied.
CHAMBERLAIN , S. D. , Nov. 21. The
troops stationed below the forks of the
Bellefourcho and Cheyenne rivers have
been notified to make preparations to
remain where they are until next
spring. This military camp is in the
vicinity of the belligerent Big Foot's
village , and as Big Foot is one of the
active spirits on the Messiah , craze the
soldiers will keep a watchful eye on
him.
The Methodist missionary confer
ence at Boston adopted a resolution
calling on the church to give the com
mittee $1,250,000 as the least sum with
which it can meet the demands of the
year 1891.
Parnell will probably be continued
at the head of the Irish party.
