The Territory Discussion.
ash i n;t')n, I). G, Jtin. 17. The
house yesterday continued the discussion
of tin; territorial admission bill,
A resolution was adopted calling on
the secretaries of war aud treasury for
correspondence relating to the use of the
English steamship State of Alabama by
Joseph Cuiiiiiiings in excavating the main
hip channel in New York harbor,
Consent was given to the committee
on postotliees ami postroads to report on
the postollk-e appropriation bill legisla
tiim providing for tiie classification of
cle rks in first and second class postoffices.
The hoti-u; then resumed the considera
tion of the territorial bill. Mr. Joseph
of Xew Mexico spoke at length in favor
of the admittance of his territory.
STItrill.i: KICKS AT XKW MEXICO.
Mr. StruMe, of Iowa, said that the
minority on admission of territories did
not think thut New Mexico ought to be
admitted. Their objection was not on
the ground of the religion of the people.
What New Mexico wanted was liberal
nssist:i nre from the government in build
ing up desert places and irregating her
arid stretcher. A large number of peo
pie in New Mexico could not speak the
l iiiginge of the country, and he thought
th.it until tliev came up to the liue of
American civiliz ition they were not en
titled to admission.
Mr. Yoorhecs spoke in behalf of his
territorr, V.'ushington. lie said that her
inurentiue position gave hwr advantages
over her sister territories. The exposi
tion was a constant invitation to the
aggressions of any foreign power.
Mr. Mansur of Missouri made an argu
ment in favor of the omnibus bill, and
especially in favor of the admission of
New Mexico. He said that in view of
her rapid growth the arguments of Mr.
StruMe were without effect.
Mr. Herman of Oregan made a speech
in favor of the admission of all the ter
ritories tint were entitled to statehood
by rca:n of population or natural re
sou rces.
Mr. Iltker of Xew York said that
South Dakota should not be hampered
by being counted with the other terri
tories. Mr. Dubois of Idaho said his tenitory
would ak an enabling act, fixing a def
inite time for it to assume the responsi
bilities of statehood,
Pending further debate the house, af
ter p i-ii.:g the bill miking Columbus,
., a port of delivery, adjourned.
PANAMA AFFAIRS.
Some correspondence That Inti
mates Coming Troubles There.
Wasvixotox. D.C., Jan. 17. Mr. Ad-
amsou. I'nited States consul-general at
Panama, on tho -2 1 inst. received a com
munication from tho jjeneral of the de
partment of Panama, statiog tjtat al
though the local government would do
all in its power to preserve peace and
order, it is feared tiiat disturbancea of
the public peace might follow the sus
pension :.'f work on the Panama canal,
which suspvinfiun is expected soon.
In transmitting thio information to the
state depai tmcnt, Adamson says:
"W'ij appear to be on the verge of a
crises and grave results may well be ap
prelundcd. Fortunately there are com
paratively few Americans employed upon
thtr c m.il.bur thoso few will surely de
muni my aid. Whatever fehall occur, I
shall do my !! for the protection of
Am -ri 'an iiit--rests here."
Tii s r. t iry of state in his report to
the pre-od-nt. s n : "It will le remem
bered tint in 1 it became necessary
for tli- United State to sen 1 a sufficient

performing their duty under the treaty
to Ji re-;s a disorder at that point."

August Just Received.
FRta". .I in. 17. Th first letter
writ t -n I'V Henry M. Stauley
einc e he j
left the cim of Africa, was received by j
post lat niht. It is dated at Iioma of
lionalva, Mureita, Atir. 17, addressed to
Arab Sheikh Tippoo Tib, whom Stanley
left in clinrge of HfTutrs wliile he pushed
forward to Emin Pasha's relief. The
letter is plentifully besprinkled with
saalam., salutations, profetsions of har-
ing rood heart and other Oriental terms
of speech- Aside from these the
letter contained the following infor
mation: Stanley is in good health, with
a party composed of 130 Wangwana,
tnree soldiers and sixty-six of h.nnns
natives. He 4eft Emin two days before
on the Nyanza, making the trip with the
loss of only three men. Emin was boun
tifully supplied with cattle, sheep, goats
and food of all kinds, and many of
Emin's soldiers were ready to follow
Stanley, but he told them to remain un
til Jhe returned for things at Yambuga.
Stanley asks Tippoo Tib what he is
going to do, and he suggests that he
would like to have him go with him, if
agreeable, as they have been over the
road twice and know the route well.
Stanley says he will wait for him ten
days and then move slowly forward,
going to Big Island next. This letter
was taken to ntanley r alls by a messen
ger and forwarded by post, The messen
ger also conveyed a number of other
letters to Stanley Falls, which are ex
pected in two or three months.

Manderson's Success.
Lincoln, Jan. 16, 1m89.
Editor Herald: All formalities have
been duly observed and today at high
noon Charles F. Manderson was duly
declared the regular elected representa
tive from Nebraska to the Ukited States
senate to succeed himself. The scene is
very different from that of two years
ago, the only reminder being the two
solitary rotes cast for VanWyck. Bills
are coming back from committees, both
in senate and house, and lively sparring
occurs occassionally when the committee
of the whole considers a bill after the
third reading. The senate this morning
Was the arena wherein Ransom attempted
, , . . , r 7
to bear down all opposition and rush
through his bill in regard to insurance

ance iaw of -Wisconsin, but wanted the
ciause relating to personality stricken out.
Ransom wca compelled to desist. The
ony bill in which the house has asked
the senate to concur, is that one relating
to an appropriation to cover expenses of
the legislature. Considering that there
has been an election of a United States
senator, and bearing in mind the time
necessarily consumed in oreranizinff. eet-

Clilte FloSRlng.
This punishment is as peculiar as
most Climeso punishments are. The
man is seized by four or five stalwart
attendants, thrown on his face, hi-i
loose pyjamas rolled up so as to ex
pose he neshy par pf the back of lus
thighs. He is firmly held outstretched
in this position by men at his head
and feet. Two operators then squat
down opposite one another on each
side of the victim. One takes a strip
of seasoned bamboo about three feet
long and one inch wide, and beginj
ugntly spanking tho backs of the
thighs. Ho gives twenty of these ap
parently harmless spanks, and then
hands the bamboo to nis vis-a-vis, whe
gives his twenty, and then hands i
back; and so on, turn about, until thi
two hundred blows are administered
At first the punishment looks ridicu
lou&ly light; but by the time th
first fifty blows are reached tho skit
of the parts beaten begins to assumt
tho anj)earancc of thick wash leather;
and before tho hundredth blow the
skin begins to fly off in loose whito
flakes: by the time two hundred blow3
have been struck, the whole of the
back of both thighs looks like a
mass of swollen raw liver, though
not a drop of blood flows from the
pari. It j3 said, that a man would
expire under the excruciating torture
of two hundred and fifty of these
blows. I have never seen anything
like tho exquisite agony depicted in
that man's livid, quiverinrj features,
Tyhen he was carried into tho prison to
recover. Boston Commercial Uulie-
