Plnnfl.
Tha radical changing of the grade of St.
Mary's avenue , which was first advocated
about a year ago bv Mr. Herman Kountzo , Is
again being pushed by that gentleman , who
during the past ten days has boon waiting
upon property owners on tbat avenue with a
vlow to getting them to waive damages for
tbo proposed chango.
. Mr. Kounuo lawithout exception , the most
licavlly Interested property owner on that
street , owning nil of the property on the
Tiorth sldo of the street between Seventeenth
and Twentieth as well ns another half block
on the south sldo.
Mr. Kount70 was requested to outline the
change for which ho was working nnd its ef
fect , and ho talked very freely about the
matter.
' Said ho : "Tho change proposed is qulto a
radical ono , but it is what is needed.
It contemplates n grade of tlio
street from Sixteenth to Twcnty-llrst
street That will rcqulro a nil the
cntlro distance , the heaviest work being ut
Nineteenth street , whore a 1111 of fifteen feet/
will bo necessary to meet the Intended grade.
. At Seventeenth street the 1111 would bo about
flvo feet.
"I don't know Just how much earth would
bo required to do the work , but it would ap
proximate 100,000 cubic foot. I understand
that thcro will bo Just about that
quantity of dirt to spare when Douglas
street Ii cut to the now grade. The two Jobs
could bo done together , for half what cither
ono of thorn would bnvo cost alono. The
Douglas street dirt could be removed to St.
Mary's nvouuo for 15 cents o cubic yard , or
oven loss , while it would cost nearly double
thut price if it bad to bo taken down on the
bottoms , us would bo the case If it could not
bo utilized In making this other 1111.
"After dividing the cost between the two
grading districts , it would not amount to so
very much.
"The same plan would hold good for filling
up tbo lots of abutting property owners. If
Douglas Htroct Is cut down , the abutting
property must also como down , nnd that dirt
would bu in demand to till up the lots on St.
Mary's avonuo. It would bo considerably
less'than half the expense to property
owners that it would otborwfso be.
I have tallced with several of the Interested
property owners nnd almost without excep
tion they want the work dono. Many of them
nro willing to waive damages. It Is really
no damage whatever to the propnrty , but on
the contrary It would bo a benellt. Tlio rest
of raising the property to grade would bo but
alight compared with Its Increased vuluo
after getting It up where tt belongs.
"The now grade would bo very slight bo-
twcon Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets ,
nnd at no point between thcro nnd Twonty-
flrst sticots would thcro bo a steeper grnuo
than that on Fifteenth street , between Far-
natn nnd Ilnrnoy. Of course the grading of
St. Mary's avenue would necessitate corro-
spondlngcbnnKes on the bisecting cross streets.
Tbero Is considerable paving that would have
to como up and bo rclaid , nnd that would
probably cost more than the grading of thcso
streets. On nearly all ot them the paving
has been down but a short time , and could bo
f y replaced. Some of it may bu so badly worn
i' i as to render now paving advisable , although
[ _ ilio KTUiiita paving on St. Mary's aveauo Is ,
V of course , lu as good condition as it ovorwas.
"Tho project of raising the grade of that
thoroughfare was first started about a year
ago , and I think that it was a llttlo before the
Douglas street cut was proposed. I worked
on it for a whllo , when other matters , includ
ing my trip abroad , monopolized my time , and
it was not until recently that I found
it convenient to again push the matter.
Nothing has bcon done about it further than
to sco to what extent the property owners
will wnlvo dnmiiges. If the result In this re
spect is satisfactory , the course to bo pur
sued will bo the same as m other coses of a
similar nature , and the matter will bo laid
before the city council. The city's ' notice
bos not ns yet bcon called to the ease in any
manner. 1 have no knowledge as to what
the total cost of the change would Lo , but It
would not bo ns heavy as would naturally bo
supposed. If the work Is done It ought to bo
done in connection with the Douglas street
work , although the plans were not originated
in conjunction. It makes all the clIfTorenco
in the world whether the dirt Is hnulod two
or three bloclct or half as many mlloa.1'
City Engineer Tlllson wns asked to submit
a few figures as to tbo probable cost of tbo
proposed work , but stated that ho had not
considered the matter to any great oxtcnt
slnco the new grade of Douglas street was es
tablished.
"Tho now grade , " ho said , "Is a llttlo dif
ferent from the previous ono , but tt would
not materially change the figures I made at
that tlmo. The dirt to bo moved is something
llko 00,000 yards , nnd 1 am of the opinion that
this amount would raise St. Mary's ' avenue
and the cross streets to the grade proposed by
Air. Kouutze. The part of Douglas street nf-
lectcd by the now graao Is from Sixteenth to
Twentieth streets. It causes a cut of five
feet at Seventeenth street , and tlio deepest
cut is Uyont.v-iilno foot , between Eighteenth
nnd Nineteenth streets.
"Thero nro places wheroDouglas street has
not been cut down its full * width to con form
to the present grade , and this dirt will have
to ho taken out as well as whnt Is covered by
the last chango. Douglas street is 100 feet
wide , whllo St. Mary's ave nuo is only slxty-
uc feet , nnd all of the cross streets down
there are also narrow , so tbat the Douglas
street cartb would go a long way toward Jlllhiir
them up to the now grado. I nm satlllcd that
both joos of grading could bo done for $20,000. ,
The city has done several bigger Jobs than
bU , onlv tboy covered tnoro territory. There i
was only 100,000 yards of dirt in the Thir >
teenth street Job , and about as much on
Park uvcuuo. I tnndo some partial
Jlgures to ascertain the cost of these
two joba some tlmo ago nnd I placed itat
aboutf 15,000 orSOT,000. , I remember I was
surprised to find it so small. The cost of ISB
pavlng would bo qulto an item. St. Mnry's '
avenue Is now paved with gAulto , but I un
derstand that Mr. Kountzo wants the rcpav-
ing done with asphalt. The paving on the
cross streets Is all block on concrete founda
tion with the exception of Twentieth street
north , which Is laid on plauk and sand , and
has been down from two to 11 vo years , idI
tlon'tlenow as It would hardly pay to take It
up , but lot the dirt go right in on top of It.
The wood wouldn't amount to much , and the
concrete that would bo taken up would liavo
to bo worked ovor. The grading wouldn't '
cost over $20,000 , and tbo city would have to
stand half of that amount.
"But llttlo work would liavo
to bo done on Seventeenth street , olthor near
Douglas or St. Mary's nvonuo , but there
would bo some heavy cutting on Eighteenth
nnd Nineteenth near Douglasand the 1111 near
St. Mary's avenue would also bo heavy , but
only for a short distance , as it IH nn up lo
in cither direction. The city Is Interested In
the Douglas street cut on account of the InK
ball. The work will probably bo , done this
summer , if It Is to bo done. I look for a big
cut on Dodge street when that paving if
worn out. It would lower tbo southeast cor
ner of the high school grounds a little , but
tbat must not stand in the way of the public
streets. I look for the tiiuo to como when
the travel from the wboto north sldo of tbo
city will como down to Farnam without going
down to Sixteenth , and thcso hill cuts must
bo made In order to accomplish it. "

Shortly after tj o'clock In the evening she
mnnngcd to escape from the hospital nnn is

TWO UNKOUTUNATE3.
Destitute < uncn wlio Soolc Alt ! Prom
the County Continlnnlnnors.
O. P. Ellis made n statement to Poor Com
missioner Mahoney yesterday concerning
the condition of nn unfortunate young girl
named Anna Anderson. Ellis lives at 1000
North Twcnty-slxth street. His statement
Is that Anderson , the father of the girl , who
Is but sixteen years of ago , boards at Twenty-
eighth avenue nnd Douglas street , anil that
while ho Is perfectly nblo financially to pro
vide for his child , ho refuses to do so. The
girl's adlietlou Is of the spinal column and Is
growing worse dally. She suffers Intensely ,
nnd as Kills Is n poor man ho concluded to nslc
assistance from the county authorities. The
county physician will render Immediate as
sistance , but If Anderson has means bo will
bo compelled to piy the expense. The child's
mother is dead.
A HIB : icportcr last evening visited the
house at 310 Soutb Twenty-eighth nvonuo ,
where Anderson maltoi bis homo , butho wns
absent. From ono of the boarders It was
learned that Anderson owns the place nnd
occupies some of thj upper rooms , renting
the rest of the building for a boarding bouse.
Some time ago Anderson wns employed in a
wholesale house In the lower part of the city ,
but has been out of work lately , Last week
ho did a few day's work grading , but hns
bcon Idle milch of the winter. It was also
learned that ho has two daughters , both of
whom nro somewhere in the city , the ono nt
Mr. Ellis' , who Is n blacksmith , being the
older.
The general Impression among the occu
pants of tbo house seemed to bo'bat Ander
son had uhont all ho could do to support him
self in his careless , lazy , easy-going way , but
that ho could do much better if he tried ,
The property Is worth several thousand
dollars , but Anderson's acquaintances were
of the opinion that it was mortgaged. They
expressed surprise that an nblo bodlod man
llko Anderson should allow his children to bo
dependent on the charity of others. They
had been given to understand that ho wns
contributing to the support of his children ,
although ho was very uncommunicative
about the matter. Tboso who linow Ander
son were disposed to give full credence to
Bills' stpry , and expressed the opinion that
Anderson could support his daughter if ho
chose to do so.
The rent of the Twenty-eighth nvonuo
property will undoubtedly attract the atten
tion of tbo county olllcials.
Ellis had no sooner left the room when the
commissioner was confronted by another
case of destitution. Mrs. Adalono Still , car
rying an infant babe und leading another less
than two year * of ngc , entered the small
quarters nnd unfolded her tain of woo and
want. She was a widow , penniless and starv
ing" . Her homo was In Knnkakco. Ills. , to
which plnco she desired to go. She was
started on her Journey with transportation
and a llttlo money for the children and her
self to live on during the journey. Tbo
woman stated that when her child was only
nine days old she walked and carried the two
children from Omaha to Bcllovuo , a distance
of seven miles.

G TD tlio Ninth Its Due.
OMAHA , Jan. 13. To the Editor of THE
DEB : The papers have boon ringing with
accounts of what the the brnvo Seventh cav
alry Is doing. Certainly the odlccrs nnd monet
ot the Seventh are bravo bravo as any ether ,
regiment , in the service. But does being
singularly unfortunate In most of tbolr en
gagements plnco their conduct in notion-upon
a higher scale than that of those whoso
bravery certainly cannot bo questioned , but
whoso death record show fewer casualties.
Glvo the "dovllhisduo. " Sayeortethiugof the
brave Ninth. Toll how they marched ninety
miles without halt or refreshment , getting
Into the agency ns the bugles in the infantry
camp were sounding reveille. Before tbov
had unsaddled , oven before they had broalc.
fasted , "boots and saddles" rang out , nnd nl >
most sooner than I can write they were clat
tering out to tbo rollof of Captain Land's
wagon train , three miles from the ngency.
Colonel Henry's famous whistle told the
troopers what to do. They dashed down on
the hostllcs , who hna surrounded the train ,
and put thorn to rout. When the Seventh ar
rived on the scene there was not un Indian In
slgut , though tbo papers say that the Seventh'
cavalry was first in this skirmish.
That same day at 2 o'clocic n batloss scout
came flying into camp to bring word that
Forsj the wns hard pressed and needed help
at on co. A rain tbo weary men mounted their
now Jaded horses , nnd came upon Foray the
nnd his mcu just m time. Tboy had been
drawn into a pocket , bemmod fn on three
sides , and the savages were closing in on the
fourth. Once moro tbat splendid skirmish
Hue charged , at the same time putting now
life into the overpowered Sovcnth by send
ing forth the heartiest cheer that ever raised
man's soul from the depths of despair.
To them , of course , It was only a soldier's '
duty , yet to us , who are out of it all , It
seemed bravo and untiring , The nfllccrs nnd
non of the. Seventh show their appreciation
in the most extravagant way , yet outsldo of
1'lnn Hldgo I do not behove the real facts are
known.
Ouster has had his full share of pralso for
bravery and knowledge as a soldier. Yet
every ono Knows that the very engagement
\\hIchhiLS given the Seventh its imtnaof the
bravest and most unfortunate rcirlinontln the
service , Ouster was acting in direct opposi
tion to orders , and I am not nlono m thinking
tnoTeal pnilso Is duo those unfortunates who
followed him tn bis wild cbitrgo. Still ,
There's nothing either irood or bad
But thinking makes it so. W.

TI1I3 UNION PACIFIC'S ANSWER.
It Cliilins to Hnvo n r cKil Ownership
of the Viaduct ilomls.
Thomas L. IClmball , on behalf of the Union
Pacific railway company , filed his answer in
tbo Stuht , Hnwo ot al. Injunction suit with
the clerk of the district court yesterday after
noon.
Thodocumont isavcrylongono and reviews
the ground thoroughly. It states that the
mayor nud council were duly author
ized by law to pass the ordinance
calling for the viaduct bonds nnd had acted
legally when the proposition was submitted
to tbo people who ratlflcd it by tholr votes.
It denies tbat the union depot Is
a private venture gotten up
for speculative purposes , but ttfat
on the other hand it would prove a great
bcnollt to the traveling public und the citi
zens of Omaha generally. That up to tbo
present tune tbo Union depot company has
spent moro than $150,000 , the amouat stipu
latedand basin every detail folio wed out the
original contract. That the company Is now
ready to proceed to comply strictly
with the ordinance. Everything has
been conducted In regular form. The
viaduct Is now completed and
has bcon turned over for tbo public uso.
Mr. Klmball denies that the Union Pacific
road has refused to permit trains of othnr
roads to run across tha bridge into tlio union
depot.
Ho Is ready to comply with the ordinance
strictly and to proceed with the erection of
the magnlllcont structure , but that if
the Injunction Is maintained by the
court the company will bo com
pelled to stop the construction
of the union dopot. The company will bo
compelled to abandon Its organization as a
depot company and to permit the premises
set apart for a depot to revert back to
tbo original owners , and thus prevent
for years the construction of a union passen
ger depot much to.the detriment of the peo-
plo. liut if the injunction is dented the com
pany will proceed utonco in'.strict accord
ance with the ordinance.
John M. Thurston , as attorney for the com
pany , fltod a demurrer to the amended peti
tion filed by Mr. Howo.

The Milwaukee engineers and firemen have

begins is changed from twelve to ten hours.
The time when work boclns Is chanced to the
hour when the train is scheduled to leave ,
instead of when it actually leaves as hereto

[ Special Correspondence of Tun BEE--hAt
such times ns I nnvo not been engaged In
trying1 to sift the grains of reliable news from
the moss of baJly mixed rumors concerning
tbo hostllcs and in keeping up with antici
pated moves of the military , I nnvo "been
quietly endeavoring to ascertain tbo true
facts in regard to Agent Uoyor's ' responslbll- .
ity for the present trouble on this rosorva-
tion-tbo trouble that resulted tn tbo military
being sent bore at n time wbon ho called for
help without specifying the kind of help that
ho considered was required.
The result of my Investigations the bottom
tom facts boiled down , give Ibis showing :
In an elaborate report made to the depart
ment nt Washington by E. B. Koynolds ,
special United States Indian agent , regarding
bis personal investigation of the ghost or
Messiah danca or craze hero. Mr. Koynolds
stated :
"From all I witnessed of the exercises I nm
ol the opinion that It is exceedingly prejud
icial to their ( the Indians ) physical wolf are ,
and mentally It bos tbo effect of binding
them to the customs of their ancestors , from
which the government Ii spending largo
sums of money to wean them awny , and I
think that steps should bo taken to stop It.
Tills can only bo done by the use of the mili
tary unless the cold weather accomplishes
this end. "
Dr. noyor did not take charge of the
agency-until October 0. On October 13 ho
wrote the department as follows :
"In my Judgement there nro but two ways
to settle it ( meaning the Messiah craze ) .
First , to use every effort possible and bring
influence to boar upon the chiefs to cot them
to pull out of the dance , which would stop It.
Second , if persuasive means fall , then force
them to ODCV by the use of the military. I
very much dislike tbo iuca of bringing tbo
military here , us it would likely prejudice
many of the Indians against mo during my
entire- administration , thereby destroying
what good I might bo able to do under other
circumstances. "
On October 27. the Indians , assembled m
council , in formed General Miles that they did
not Intend to glvo up the ghost dance , nnd
thntthoy wanted their agent. Dr. Itoyor , to
wiito the great father and tell * him too that
they would not glvo It up. General Miles re
plied by giving them good nctvlco , nud alter
Insisting that they stop the dance ho wont
his way.
Early In November Agent Royor ordered the
arrest of an Indian named Llttlo for killing
cattle indiscriminately. The Indian force ar
rested Little , and as bo was being brought
in to Agent , Hover's oDko for examination a
grei.crowd of the ghost dancers rushed up ,
surrounding tie prisoner nnd his captors.
Little pulled a bowie Unifo to assist in gain
ing bis liberty , and hls.iriends did the same
thing. The entire police force rushed forward
to assist the officers , rtho had made the arrest
but they too were quickly surrounded , and
by a throng of yelling rcdfacos outnumber-
In g them , thirty-four1 told , flvo to ono.
The lawless assailanti grabbed the officers ,
and with uplifted knives threatened to cut
their hearts out if Llttlo was not released.
Little escaped , but has since been recaptured
and sent to Sioux Falls to await trial , for
lirst open outbreak or declaration of war ,
that occurred in Agent Uoyor's administra
tion , although n much worse affair on the
part.of thcso Indiana ho.d. transpired and ono
unpunished a short tlmo bolero Dr. Itoyor
took charge of the hgCncy.
Agent Koyer asked , urged and begged of
the department at Washington to have tbo
police force increased to 100 , but it was re
fused.
Every statement made In the foregoing Is a
matter of department record at Washington.
To these statements I add the following ex
pressions of opinion :
General Brooke The military was ordered
to other reservations than this. The trouble
Is of a general nature throughout the north
west.
Special Indian Agent Cooper It was cer
tainly Just the proper thing to send the mili
tary hero.
. J. W. Thomas , president of the First Na
tional bank of Kushvllle , Nob. All the best
elements of Kushvlllo heartily nntl fully en
dorse Agent Koyor's actions all through this
troublo. If it was by ills Influence- that tbo
military was brought hero to protect us from
what I am fully convinced would have been
death in horrible form had wo remained un
protected by military power , that wo aro.nll
the moro tnankful tbat ho came into ofllco
at ( the tltno that ho did. Dr.
Rover is an honest , bright , practical ,
and fearless roan , ono whom I personally
know to bo well titled for the position of In
dian agent Under the present very trying
circumstances ho acted moro wisely than it
Is possible , perhaps , for those At a distance
to appreciate. Hud ho not craspcd the situa
tion In the firm , decisive manner and at the
tlmo that ho did , now moro than a month
ago , 1 should certainly have sent ray family
a long wuy from hero to insure their per
sonal safety , and many others In this vicinity
would have done the same thing.
Rev. C. S. Cook , Episcopal clergyman A
certain portion of the Indians had become so
defiant , oven In the face of tbo police In
deed , the latter had completely lost all influ
ence and control over the people that to call
In tbo military , in my opinion , was the only
alternative loft to Dr. Royor for preserving
law and order In the administration
of the agency. Even If bis predecessor was
In charge of tbo ngatiov. sooner or later , I believe -
liovo , the soldiers would have had to como.
Dr. lloyer promises lo make a good agertt.
Ho has made nn excellent Impression gener
ally with the Indians by his pleasant manner
of doing business with thorn nil.
Ho seems much interested in them. As
a fact under his administration ,
nn addition of 1,000,000 , , pounds of
beef has boon granted by the government.
Ho Is making strenuous efforts now to have
the police properly clothed , fed nnd quar
tered aiid adequately paid. From the In
dian standpoint , 1 say , give Dr. Itoyor a
chnnco.
Ror. C. G. Sterling , Presbyterian clergy
man Dr. Uoyor came into ofllco at a critical
tlmo , when it would have bcon hard for any
man to handle the dlfljqultlos , partlcalarly
anv man now to the work. Ho was prob
ably the best Judge ns-to whether his police
force was equal to ttiQ unusual situation. I
do not think that an outbreak was Imminent ,
yet it Is beyond 'question that the
Indians were growing steadily moro
sullen ami defiant. Altogether , despite
some unfortunate results which followed the
coming of tbo troojH-1 am disposed to bo
llovo that wo are bettor off for their coming
and that the settlement , winch It was plain
must soon bo had , will now bo the moro
speedily and satisfactorily accomplished.

front looking after the construction of the
road nnd was at Pine Bluffs when Engineer
Hill was killed and Arthur wounded. At
that tlnio ho WM working under the auspices
of General 0. M , Dodge nnd Inter became
connected with the Union Pacific town lot
department , of which ho bad charge. Ho ro-
slgnctl thiit'posltloii lu July. 187:2 : , lo go to the
Texas I'aeHIc with General DoJgo nnd was
superintendent of construction on that rend
until Its completion lu November , 1S75 , wbou
ho returned to Omabn.
Mr. Clark then placed him In clmrgoof the
construction of the Omaha & Hopubllcim
Valley rond. After that ho was stationed nt
Denver for n Bhort tlmo as general agent and
then wont to Chicago , where for a number of
years bo was general agent ol the Santa Fo.

When Colonel Eddy loft Omaha a year ago

The Elections Committee Submits
fllnjorlly and Minority KepurtH.
PicmiE , S. D. , Jon. 12. [ Special Telegram
to THE BBE.J The only business In the
house of Importance today was the reports of
the elections committee on the Brown county
contests of Scattorgood and Bates , Independ
ents , for the scats of J. L. Brown and
Maxon , republicans. There were majority
and minority reports , the latter signed by
tbo only republicans on the committee.
Buchanan moved a division of the reports ,
which after much skirmishing and ox tended
debates was carried. Ibis was considered a
republican victory and was certainly a point
scored In their favor. After numerous at
tempts on the part of the Independents to
secure Immediate action on the reports and a
great amount of llUbustcrinRtho.republlcans ,
with the assistance of Converse , who voted
with the opposition on speaker , secured
on adjournment until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning and obtained an order for a full
printing of the testimony nnd evidence tbat
appeared before the committee. This Is
clearly a victory for the republican side.
The cases will come up tomorrow niornlnc
and both sides expect to win. It may bo said
to bo tbo pivotal point that will decide the
election of a senator. Great pressure Is
being brought to boar on Converse , who held
the balance of power in ttio election of
speaker , but best reports are that ho will
vote with the republicans. With a full vote
this would make sixty-two votes for each
sldo. No further developments are obtain
able , both sides claiming a majority. To
morrow's vote is expected to decide in a largo
measure who will ultimately control the
houso.
In the scnato Preston introduced a bill ap
propriating $10,000 for an exhibit at the
world's ' fair. Stoivart introduced a bill re
pealing the law authorizing the secretary of
state to nnvo an assistant. Wickham Intro
duced a bill extending the law relating to the

gram to THE BE . ] Although tholcglslaturo

ance legislators and all of the state senators
were in the city at noon. The alliance men
went into caucus at 3 o'clock and united on
P. P. Elder , an old tltno politician of Frank-
lln county , for speaker. The senatorial quos-
tloa was discussed at length nnd every man
present pledged himself against Ingalls , As
eighty-three Is a majority on joint ballot n
general row Is all that can save Ingalls. Tbo
republicans decided to hold no caucus at this
tlmo but await developments.
Jerry Simpson , congressman elect
from the Seventh district , William
Baker of the Sixth and John Davis
of the Fifth have been closeted with the alli I-
ance men nil day , urging them to allow I10
personal ambitions to stand in the way 10Jf
Inp.ill's defeat. The fact that the alliance :
men have already cone into caucus makes
oven Senator Intrall's frlonds admit that bis
chances of election nro slim. The tight of the
republicans hns been to prevent a caucus.
Three alliance men have already lllod notices
with the secretary of state announcing their
Intention of contesting the election of repub
licans to whom oortlflcatos have boon given.
All three of the contestants will probably bo

A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE ,
The Dhcusslon Upon It Occupies Consid
erable Tinio in the llousj.
INVESTIGATION OF THE SILVER POOL ,
A Special Committco of Fi-vo Will In
quire \Vhptlicr IMcmbors of Con-
rcss Had Anything to
Do with It.
WASIIIXOTOK , Jan. 12. In the house this
rooming Mr. Dockory , rising to n question of
privilege , oflorod n resolution reciting the
fact of the reference of bis "silver pool"
resolution to the committee on rules unit the
/act that the cotnmlttco refused to
report the snmo , nod directing tbo committee
on rules to report the resolution to the house
for consideration.
Mr. Dlnpley of Miilno mntlo the polnt > tlmt
the resolution illd not Involve a question of
privilege.
Mr. Uockcroy contojuled thatltilld.
Mr. MoKliiloy snlil thntAvhotheror not the
original resolution Involved tha matter of
urlvilega hud nothing todo with the pending
question. It had bcou referred to the com
mit too on rules and the committee had not
yet been able to tnnko Its report. Ito had not
the slightest objection to the broadest In
vestigation.
Mr. Mills of Texas contended Hint the
original resolution referred to the dignity mul
Integrity of the members of the houso. The
house did not lese Jurisdiction of the
question because It referred Its considera
tion to ono of the committees. There
was no doubt of the power of the houso. The
question wni ono of propriety , and this ques
tion must bo considered with reference to
the length of time the resolution was hefore
the committee. U'ho ' resolution wns referred
onthollrst day of the session. The session
was now half RODO and nothing hud boon
done. The houio ought not to adjourn until
It exculpates the Innocent and places the con
demnation whore it rlRtitfully belonged.
Mr. Adams of Illinois nrRuod that the reso
lution under the rules did not Involve the
question of privilege.
Mr. Crisp of Goorglasald that there was no
express rule authorizing the dis
charge of a committee. The original
resolution was unquestionably a. question of
the highest privilege. It the committee re
fused to report the resolution a motion to dis
charge was privileged.
The speaker inquired whether the gentle
man believed the original resolution ono of
privilege.
Mr. Crisp replied that ho bad assumed that
the speaker had so held.
The sneaker said ho had not. On the con
trary. In a somewhat similar cnso , ho had
ruled , mul the house hud sustained the rul- i
in ? , that the house did not possess such uj
privilege.
After some debate the house dccldoil , by a
vote of 148 to SO , that the question raised by
Mr. Dockory was one of privlloKO.
During further debate Mr. Melflnley said
the committee had decided to rnnko n thor
ough investigation , but the m for of the resolution
elution had disclaimed any personal knowl
edge in the matter and the correspondents of
the Globe-Democrat refused to make any
statements or oven to say who was the au
thor of the article. The committee had in
tended to co to the bottom of the matter and
ascertain facts enough to Justify the recom-
mandatlon to the houso.
Finally Mr. Kogers of Arkansas offered a
resolution as an amendment to Mr. Dockery's
resolution.
A resolution was adopted providing a spe
cial committee of live members to Investigate
the alleged connection of members of con
gress in the silver pool , and to inquire Into
the ownership of 12.000,000'ounces of silver
bullion which the United States Is asked to
purchase.
The diplomatic mul consular appropriation
bill was reported and placed on the calendar.
The house then went Into cotnmlttco of the
wboto on the army appropriation bill.
Mr. Stone of Missouri , taking advantage of
the wide scope of the general debate , entered
npon a general denunciation of the election
(
bill. In the course of his remarks ho referred
to Mr. Lodge as representing the Oscar
"Wilde typo of statesmanship and to Mr. Hoar
as a maternal masculinity who represented
Mr. Pecksniff.
Mr. Grosvcnor then took occasion to speak
on the plea , of no sectionalism by Mr. Lau-
non of Texas Saturday. The dohato then
drifted Into general political and sectional
talk , in which Mr. Grosvcnor arraigned the
democratic narty for nothonorlnR the worthy
oxconfedoratos , and Mr. Spinola wanted to
know why \\\o \ \ northern ropuulicans did not
give ofllccs to negroes.
Finally the army bill was taken up.
Mr. Aland offered tin amendment providing
that none of the appropriations for the nay
of the armv shall bo paid to ofllcors detail jd
to state colleges nnd institutions.
This was ruled out on a point of ordorfrona
which Mr. Bland appealed , pendlnir wbleti
the committee rose nnd the house adjourned.

WASIIIXOTOX , Jan. 12. In the senate today
the following bills wore Introduced and re
ferred :
By Mr. Quay To prevent fraud In federal
elections and insure the lawful and peaceful
conduct thereof.
By Mr. Stanford To provide for the ex
tension of the executive mansion.
Mr. Yest introduced by request a bill to
repeal the act amending section 704 of the
revised statutes ( as to appeals to the supreme
court ) , and inado explanations in regard to
it. Ho referred to the case of the Japanese
murderer , Juglro , sentenced to death
by electricity , nn appeal In whoso
case was denied by the supreme
premo court , nnd said the attorney
for the prisoner bad applied for another writ
of habeas corpus to the saino court and
claimed that ho could bring up nn appeal on
a writ of habeas corpus as often ns ho could
find a now ground of application. His own
judgment as a lawyer was that nu further
legislation on the subject was necessary , but
tbo Judge before whom the last application
came through held that ho was compelled to
grant on appeal to the supreme court whenever -
over the ground alleged was different from
that formerly presented. So tbo result was
inevitable , if the decision Is correct , that
sentence of death would bo absolutely de
feated by continued appeals to the supreme
