"Wo have compared tho Irttor villi others known to bo genuine," said one of tho 1'lnkurton people, "and know they were all written by I'at Crowe." Several other letters written by Crowe to various people have also been sent to the agency..

Tills action by the chair brought forth a protest from Sena tor Owens, who stated that tho petition was 0110 addressed to the Douglas county membcra and not to the sennte, and, therefore. It could not be properly con sidered by that body. Tho chair was In clined to rule differently, but when the senator from Duwsou called his attentinu tp the fact that a petition presented by himself several weeks ago had been de clared out of order because It was not addressed to tho senate, the chair re versed his former decision and sent the petition back to Senator Llddcll.

In the consideration of the hill, the pend ing question wsb the motion ot Mr. Rawlins to strike out the two paragraphs providing appropriations for fast mall service be tween New York and New Orleans and between Kansas City and Nowton. Mr. Vest of Missouri opposed the mo tion In an eloquent speech. Ho said ho never had voted for any subsidy or bounty, great or small, but theso appropriations wcro not subsidies, because subsidies were money given out of tho treasury for noth ing. Mr. Harris of Kansas declared that tho appropriation was a specific payment for a valuable service rendered hy tho railroads. In his Judgment It wns In a sense a sub sidy.

Tho provision, he said, had not been considered by either tho sennto or tho houso nnd neither of the senators from Minnesota who were affected hy tho amend ment had been consulted about It. Mr. Clnpp ot Mlnnosota said ho desired most earnestly and emphatically to protest against 'this proposition Incorporated In tho report by tho conferees. Nnyn luilliiti Were Kolilieil, In defense of tho conference report Mr. Thurston declared that tho manner In which the Indians of Minnesota had been robbed of tholr timber was a shame and a scandal. .Mr. Jones ot Arkansas defended the action of tho conferees, insisting that It was taken In tho Interest ot the Indians. Pending further dltcusslnii. Mr. Allison asked that tho order for n night session to night be revoked, the senate inning mado today such good progress with Its work. Tho request was agreed to.
