of the house. IIo was ably seconded in his
endeavor to defeat the bankruptcy bill by
Mr. I'lnrro of Tonncssno , wlio supplcnicntctl
his every IlllbusterhiK motion with another
which was calculated to prevent action ,
and the JUibiistcrliifi continued.
"Another wasted day , " waa the comment
of the republicans , and their comments were
echoed by n majority of the democrats. Hut
the few democrats opjxmed to the bank
ruptcy measure held linn mul the hpuso
ndjounu-d without action , thus exhausting
the two days assigned to the judiciary com
mittee and the bankruptcy bill.
Finally a joint resolution by Mr. Lock-
wood of Now York , , directing the sec
retary of war to Invcstlpitii the sub

Kilgore came forward with another motion
that the adjournment should bo until Satur
day , which was supplemented by Mr. Pierce
yrjth a motion for a recess until 5 o'clock.
Mr , Plerco's motion for a recess was voted
flown yens , ' lnnys ; , 211 whereupon that
gentleman moved to reconsider thu vote by
which it was rejected.
Mr. Hoed , republican , from Maine , In his
dry manner , suggested that the house should
rccognlzo the fact that public business was
In the hands of n minority. Since the house
could not transact business , why not lot it
adjourn and permit the members to go about
their own business.
Mr. J. D. Taylor , republican from Ohio.
made a iwint of order that the proceedings
MOW In progress were derogatory of the dig
nity of the body , and. therefore , not per
missible. This kind of conduct was not In
keeping with the dignity of the house , or any
other houso.
'If used In any other house. " said Mr.
Rood , ' 'it would bo right , but , " ( drawlingly )
"not this houso. " /
There was not. continued Mr. Taylor , a
town meeting in Now Knglnnd , the home of
the present occupant of the chair ( Mr.
O'Neill of Massachusetts ) whore there
would bo permitted such absurdities , oven
disgraceful proceedings , as tlioso witnessed
today. There were but a few weeks of the
session remaining , and there was a , tremendous
deus calendar. Yet 0110 man who lived in
Texas could prohibit all business ; the very
Indians ( and hero Mr. Taylor pointed to
Chief Wolf in the gallery ) could do better
than this. [ Laughter. ]
U'nx nil Insult to thu Indian.
Mr. Wilson , republican , from Washington ,
protested against the gentleman from Ohio
insulting his constituents. [ Laughter. ]

Mr. Miami , democrat , from Missouri , was
of the opinion that thu hour for adjourn
ment had arrived and made n motion to that
ClfeCt. lyOSt.
Then came the motion to adjourn until Sat
urday , which was again stopped by u motion
to adjourn. The motion was defeated , and
then the question recurred on the motion
that when the house adjourned , it bo to meet
on Saturday.
Mr. Dates yielded himself to the inevita
ble. The question , ho said , was one of
physical endurance. While it hail boon de
monstrated fhat n largo majority was in fa
vor of considering the bankruptcy bill , ho
was opposed to the house going on in this
question of endurance , us if the unifier in
volved was a prize light , and ho therefore
moved that the house adjourn.
j , Mr. Boutello , republican , from Maine , sar
castically Inquired whether the position in
-which the house now found itself was not
the result of deliberate action of the house
in divesting itself of the power to control its
own business. [ Laughter. ]
Mr. Dates' motion was agreed to and the
house adjourned.

WA8IUNCITOX , D. C. , Jan. 25. Secretary
Noble addressed a communication to thu
commissioner of Indian affairs setting forth
his conclusions m the matter of strained re
lations which have for some time existed
between Captain J. iKlroy Drown , U. S. A. ,
acting Indian agent nt Pine Itldgo , and Dr.
Charles Kastuian , a Sioux Indian , tlio agency
physician , concerning which there has been
a very wide Investigation made by the In
terior department.
Charges of a serious nature had been
made by each of thcso parties against the
other Mrs , Klalno Goodalo Kastman , the
white wife of Dr. Kastmau , has vigorously
sustained her huslKind in the controversy ,
and us vigorously denounced Captain Drown ,
who charged Dr. Kastmau with insubord
ination uud refusal to obey bis order * and
with attempting to weaken Captain Brown's
authority with the Indians. Dr. Eastman's
charges ag.ilnst Captain Urown were In
fltilmunco that ho was tyrannically over
bearing and generally unfitted to till the po-
ultlun ho holds , and in tbta he ho to n great
extent the support of Commissioner Morgan.
The secretary's conclusion in that the good
of the service requires that Dr. Kastman
. shall be su.ipcr.dcd from noting as physician
{ at Pine Kldgu agency and that unless Dr.
I ICaHtmm : can be assigned or upjwlntetl to
J another place that he is willing to accept
within tit" next 11 fteen days , ho must resign
or ho will In * removed. The secretary finds
that there is no reasonable ground to find
fault with the conduct of the acting agent ,
Captain Urowo , in this connection. This
action , the secretary says , waa nut taken ,
however , In condemnation of Dr. Kastman ,
who , ho thinks , lias many excellent qualities.
Hut n dno regard for the supremacy of the
agput , as the ofllcer chlclly rcsiKmilblo for
the safety of the agency and cfllclom'yof the
administration of affairs there , demands
that he tdiouid bo maintained absolutely
In his authority or removed , and in this case
there Is not sutllclcnt grounds for tlio
removal of Captain Biown.

, IUl > Ci : M'COMAS * NOMINATION1.
It Is Vigorously Oppmed by Ilomocratlo
Members of the Scimtc.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan. 25. For the first
time this session there was a protracted
struggle in the oxeeutlvo session of the
senate over a presidential nomination , that
of Louis McComas , ox-secretary of the na
tional republican committee , to bo associate
Justice of the District of Columbia supreme
court.
Within a few days after the reception of
the nomination the opposition to the
confirmation began to develop in tlio
senate , and two vague charges touch
ing the business integrity of the nomi
nee. The judiciary committee declared In
Its'report to the senate that in Its Judgment
there wus nothing in any way that tended to
show that Mr. McComas was not fitted for
tlio place to which the president proposed to
appoint him. The opjwsltloti was then trans
ferred from the outside to the senate cham
ber itself.
Today at 1 o'clock the senate went into
executive session with n determination on
the part of the republican senators to con
firm tlio nomination before adjournment.
The case was in charge- Senator Mitchell
of Oregon , who , in behalf of the judiciary
committee , moved that the nomination bo
confirmed.
The opposition , however , desired to bo
heard , and was heard at length. More than
four hours were consumed In the debate.
The opposition to the nominee in t'lo senate
was Dascd almost entirely on the ground
that Air. McComas was not a resi
dent of the district. The republicans
replied to the democrats on this point
by referring to the precedents sot by Mr.
Cleveland in his district and territorial ap
pointments and asserted that Mr. Cleveland
might feel disposed to again ignore platform
declarations in that respect and select the
best fitted men for federal appointments , re
gardless of residence.
When it came to a vote there was no at
tempt to filibuster , and the result was de
cisive , the vote standing 88 for confirmation
to lit for the opiwsltlou. Uecauso of a failure
to adopt the usual resolution notifying the
president of the confirmation the result was
not formally announced at the conclusion of
the session.

WASIIINOTOX , D. C. , Jan. 25. Governor
Murphy of Arizona , speaking of the action of
the republican senatorial caucus yesterday ,
which was adverse to thu admission of Ari
zona as a state , says : "This action is by no
menu's definite. Many of the senators have
expressed the intention to investigate it. It
is to bo regretted , however , that such mis
taken statements in regard to the affairs of
the territory are published and while It is
not contended that these misrepresentations
are intentionally circulated to Injure tlio
territory , a great wrong is , nevertheless ,
belug perpetrated. It is absolutely untrue
that Arizona is afilictod with a burdensome
debt or that poverty exists anywhere within
her borders. No part of the country is more
prosperous than Arizona today , and all wo
ask is to bo intelligently and impartially in
vestigated. This wo propose to flglit for
respectfully but earnestly , and I have no
fears but that wo shall bo vindicated. The
country nt largo is with us , and further
colonial bondage for any of the territories is
becoming distasteful to the American pee
ple. "

ATTACKINM Til 15 TENSION f.A\VS.
Amendment * Itcpnrtcil by n Mnjnrlty of the
HOURCI Siilicoininltlco.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan. 25. The demo
cratic members of the house subcommittee
on pensions have adopted amendments cliang-
ng the law of 1890. The following are the
principal changes made :
That no widow shall receive a pension
under the net of 1SUO unless married to the
soldier prior to 1870 ; that no person shall re
ceive n pension under the act of 1870 nnless
disabled in the service from manual labor
in < l in tlio receipt of an income of less than
$ COO n year , and that no nonresident of the
United States shall receive a pension
unless he was actually disabled
n the service. Another amendment pro
poses the appointment of a commission to re
consider necessary modifications In the
pension laws and to report at the next con
gress. Most of these amendments were
offered by Mr. O'Nell of Massachusetts , who
stated that they were framed so as not to
exclude persons actually dependent , but
would require all persons to prove that they
were , In fact , disabled and dependent. They
were adopted/by a vote of 3 to 2 , the demo
cratic members. Messrs. Mutchler , O'Neil
and Livingston , voting yea , and Messrs.
rout and Ulngham nay.
The bill , ns framed by the majority of the
subcommittee , also docs away with the pen
sion agencies throughout the country and
provides for payment of pensions by checks
directly from tlio Treasury department ,
abolishes examinations of applicants by
surgeons anil provides for the appointment
of 150 examiners to hereafter make examina
tions.
Representative O'Nell of Massachusetts ,
speaking for the majority members , and their
reasons for making tlio proposed charges ,
said : "There is no disposition on the part
of tbo majority of the house to take u pen
sion away from u man who deserves it , from
any man who became disabled while in the
union army. The country wants the pension
list reduced , but it does not want n single
worthy pensioner stricken from the rolls.
It seems to the committee that certain per
sons were entitled to pensions. "
First The wife who patriotically allowed
her husband to leave her'behind to battle
for his country.
Second The father and mother who , de
pendent on their son's support , allowed him
to go to the front.
Third There were many men between the
ages of 10 and 25 who went to the
front who left the girls they were engaged
to behind them , and those who patri
otically allowed their lovers to go to the war
and married them after they came home ,
seem to the committee also to bo entitled to
u pension. But it should stop there.
Mr. Grout of Vermont , one of the two re
publican members of the subcommittee ,
said ? "The republican minority is against
these amendments , and will oppose them in
full committee and in the house. The
proposition to do away with the examining
boards and have tlio work now done by
them done by examiners will bo practically
impossible. It is only another way of stop
ping the settlement of claims , except the
largo number that are already on the com
pleted files. With reference to the other
amendments that are all designed to limit
and embarrass tlio allowance of pensions to
those who did service in the late war and
are simply an attack upon the pension sys
tem , as applicable to those alone who hclncd
save the union. "

ranging from $3 to $5 , after which his

This last week we have

been selling a whole lot of
suits at $8.75 , and that they are bar
gains is evinced by the fact that we sold
so many of them. We have picked
out a whole lot more and
placed them in the same $8.75
lot. Those we had on sale were
our $10.50 suits , and there arc a few of
them-left. Those we .now put in are
our regular $15 suits , made of cheviot - '
iot and cassimere , cut
.75 in sacks and cutaways.
The colors are varied and
stylish. We have all sizes. You will
certainly appreciate these when you see
them , for no one can duplicate them. .
Natural Underwear
We have received two cases of these
goods bought for early deliverybut were
not received by. us until this week.They
were to be sold at $1.25 a garment , but
rather than have them left on our hands
would rather they were on the public's
body ; therefore , have put them down to
the actual cost price.
