though thu strike on the New York Ccnti.il

they hud not struck , and tliut nil tialns so
fnrvvcroruimltigiill rUht and fully manned.
Webb uld lie had not heard from Depovvyct
and did not expect to today. The worst of
the strike Is over and Webb thought there
was no likelihood that Dopow "would be
culled upon to interfoio.

Mr. Connell , during the consideration of

mined light for au amendment in tlio lu tor-
cits of the Sue and 1'ot trlbo of Indians in
soutluvestcni Nebraska IIovauted for
them Iho usual allotments of their lands
when final settlement is mado. The bill pro
vides that "no one skull bo recognised as a
member of Iho tribe whoso nninu was upon
the roll Jauuary 1 Inst. " Mr , Council said :
"This proviso , whllo it is general In its
terms , Is alined directly and solely at the
elalnnntato whom I have referred. The fait
Is , tliSy were enrolled under the roll of tlio
commissioner of Indian affair * , but not until
Jmunry 1 , 1S90 , ! Novv , Vhcn this bill
e.uno before the scnato nn amend
ment -was propose'd and adopted
by that body , vUiieh Is as follows : 'Unless
the stmo may bo added thercit by the usages
of the tribe and under the direction of the
secretary of the Interior. ' I submit , 2dr.
Spenker , to all within the healing of my
voice that If an opportunity to vote on this
senuto atncndiaciitivos given It voulel heal-
most unanimously conctmcd in. It is an
Amendment which merely soya that this
house proviso , to ' .vhtcli reference has been
made , shall so be limited as not to apply to
such members of tko tilbo ns may bo recog
nized nnd enrol led as such under the usages
of tlio tribe anil under the direction o/ the
sccietary of the lutcilor. Mr Sponkor , I
might talk hero for thrco hours in vlucoof
littecn minutes. I mipht rcul at length - voluminous
uminous testimony which Is before mo and
which relates to the riKhts of thcso
claimants , but vvb.it avail would It bo when
wo uro prevented from taking nny action
with rofcicnro to tbo senate amendment.
This icsolution which I hiuo opposed has the
effect of 'piKrulo.1 It shuts oil discussion
and prevents us fiom tilting the action wo
deslie. Now 1 fall to see iu consideration of
matters of this kind , \vhlchure not political
in their character , v\hy such a resolution
should be supported by the members on this
slelo oftho fioubo merely uecauso it comes
from the committee oniulcs , a majority of
which are republicans , as showing to some
extent the interest and the feeling in the portion
tion of the attto of Nebi.islci to w hieh I have
referied. I would call the nttcatiozi of mem-
ben to certain resolutions adopted by the
Hidmrdson county farmers' alliance and ic-
cently published at Lincoln. "
The itsolutlonsworo read In citenso at the
cleik's desk and Mr. Council continued , sny-
iiigamong other things : "I submit to this
house that it would bu unfair nnd unjust in
thocxticmoto cutout thcso chimnnts with
out RiviiiK them a hearing , \vlthout 'Khhig
them their day in coin t. ' They have made
wliut must at least bo considered n prhnn
fade caso. Favorable action 1m been t.ikou
in their behalf by iho commissioner of.
Indian affairs. Over eighty pages of testi
mony have been taken with reference to their
rights. It v\as upon this testimony that the
commissioner of Indian affairs acted Subso-
( luunttj , when some objection was made , a ,
second order was onteiect suspending tbo one
previously made In favor of those claimants ,
and at the request of some parties
interested a special Indian agent has been
sent to Nebraska to take additional testi
mony. Now it is proposed , while this addi
tional testimony is being taken and after
nitioiihas aheady been had in favor of these
claimants , to shut them out completely by
this aibltrnry and unjust proviso. "
The amendment of the house stands in the
bill yet , Mr , Council's efforts proving un
availing.
DKMOCItlTIO OPPOSITION TO THE TAU1FP.
It becatno visible to the united cyo today
that the democrats intend to olter every pos1
slblo factious opposition Iu the senile to tnu
speedy consideration oftho tariff bill. Mi ,
Vest of Mlssouii , who is one of the demo
( ratioleaders , f-avo notice thnt his side of the
chamber intended todcmmd the fullest con
sideration of e\ory \ fo.ituro of the mcasui-e ,
and they veil lei light Item by Item nnd Inch
by Inch tlio entira bill without
rcspctt to the consideration of any
other measure during the remainder
ofthoscason. This was equivalent tea no
tice that the democrats believe there is some
Kiound for hoping that the exceptions taken
by certain republicans to specific features of
the bill may lead ton division of the republi
can side of thoseunto. It means more prim
arily , however , that the democrats intend bv
dclajinp the final adoption of the tariff bill
to defeat consideration at this session of both
the elections and congressional reappoitlon-
ment bills , The statement brought Senator
Shciman to his feet and ho delivered a voiy
forcible ! review of the senate's action upon
the tariff bill. Ho cautioned the democrats
UK.dnst imposing upon the pi-
tlonco of the country and its
best Intelosts by factious opposition
simply for the purpose of killing time that
other measures might not receive consldeiu-
tlon. Ho c.ime out strong in fuvor of amend
ing the rules or nnikiiigsomo provision so as
to cut oft" debate itftor a reasonable discussion
and seeming a linnl vote. Thcro nas a sharp
repartee between Senators Sncrmm nnd
Cameron ou ono side and Vest and other dem
ocrats on that blue of tlio chamber as to tnu
aims nnd results of the tariff bill nnd also the
elfect of the recently adopted silver coinage
lawduring , which Senatois Shorann nnd
Cameron stated that the adoption of the coin
age law had already Increased the price of

and these staples would continue to Increase
In value till tlio cu of the country's prosper

question inlscd bj Mr. Vest It was pieilictcil
by Mr. Illscotk of Now Yorlc , who is a incm-
