The Houftc Substitute for tlie Senate
Original Package measure.
Washington , June 28. Repx-csen-
tativo Reed of Iowa has prepared on
behalf of tho judiciary committee tho
report on the bill agreed on by the
committee as a substitute for the origi
nal package bill. It first points out
tho differences between the bills , the
eenato bill being applicable to a single
subject of commerce , intoxicating li
quors , and the house bill being appli
cable to all articles of commerce. The
report says that in the opinion of the
committee all property which has been
imported into a state and kept for sale
there ought to be subject for all pur
poses to the jurisdiction of the state ,
and all pex'sons who engage in the
tx-affic within the state ought to be sub
ject to tho rules which it may enact for
the regulation of that traffic. The
states are the proper judges of the
needs of their own citizens , and they
ought to be free to enact and enforce
such laws as they may deem best
adapted to their situation and best
calculated to enhance • the pros
perity and happiness of their people ,
and when a non-resident imports his
* into state and then
waxes a en
gages in the tx-afflc therein it is but just
that he should be subject to thosame
restrictions that govern the citizens of
the state who woxxld engage in a like
tx'aflic , and this would be the effect of
tho bill if amended as recommeded by
the committee. It would in no manner
intex-fere with the right of a citizen of
the state to purchase abroad any arti
cle of commerce which he might desire
for i his own use and have the same
transported and delivered to him at his
place of residence. The state would
have no power to prevent the importa
tion of any article of commerce nor to
obstruct commerce through the terri
tories except in the necessary enforce
ment of their health laws. Its only ef
fect would be to subject such property
as may be imported into a state and
there held or offered for sale contrary
to the laws of the state. The power of
congx-ess to enact a law of this charac
ter - be doubted in the
can hax-dly , judg
ment of the committee. The report
concludes that it would be much wiser
to enact a general law applicable to all
articles of commerce than to meet an
exigency with reference to particular
articles , as it may seem to arise , as
would be the policy of the senate bill
should it be enacted.
The National Election Law.
Washington , June 28. Northern
democratic membex"s of the lower house
have prepared a formal protest against
the national election bill , which is
termed tho ' 'Extraordinary , dangerous
and revolutionary measure now pro
posed by the leaders of the party in
power. " The protest says : "If the
power claimed by the majority resides
in the constitution , which we deny , the
republic has gone through tne diffi
culties of a formative period , made a
heroic struggle against dissolution , tri
umphed and successfrxlly readjusted it
self to the charrged coirdition without the
exercise of such power by the federal
governmexxt for 100 year's axrd over.
The bill is purely a partisan measure ,
intended primarily to control elections
for congress and presidential electors in
all the states and intimidate , hound , ob
struct and harass by political pex'secu-
tions in unfriendly hands adverse ma
jorities in cities of the north. To cax-xy
on this schemo of impex-fect govern
ment millions of dollax-s will be taxed
from our people and the judiciary of
the United States px-ostituted to the
basest partisanship in the management
of elections. And these invasions of
the liberties of our people will be left
for safety to partisan juries in fedex-al
courts , composed entirely of men of
the party in powexv' The protest ap
peals to American freedom without x'e-
gard to power to enter a timely protest
by way of a public meeting or other
wise against this consolidation of the
government , the destx-uction of popular
rights and the very foundation of Amer
ican liberty , as this vicious and un
patriotic measure is the most serious
menace to the very life of the republic.
The issue is , shall a political party
elect itself and keep in power by paid
agents who are to coxxtrol political
elections in all the states ?
The Omaha Public Building.
Washington , June 28. Senator
Manderson , who has been punching up
the treasury officials in reference to
the Omaha public bxrilding site , re
ceived another letter from the supex' -
vising architect today in which that
gentleman says that absolutely nothing
can be done by his office under the law
until the court officials in Omaha re
port that the title to the site to be
vested is vested in the United States.
Although more than a month has
elapsed since the money to pay for the
block was sent to Omaha , the depart
ment has not yet been advised that the
title has been perfected. Until this is
done nothing can be accomplished in
the way of clearing tho lots of the
buildings which , are upon them , and
the law prohibits the expenditure of a
single dollar on the plans , consequently
the whole matter is at a standstill
awaiting the action of the United States
district attorney at Omaha.
Great Rejoicing in "Wyoming.
Cheyenne , Wyo. , June 28 Never
before in its history has this city seen
such a day as yesterday was. For thrco
days the feelings of tho people have
been worked up to the highest tension.
The Wyoming bill has been up before
tho senate and thex'e wei'e the most pos
itive assurances that it would pass. It
had hung fire so long that nothing
short of its absolute passage would sat
isfy the people.
The associated pi'ess report closed at
2:30 p. m. , leaving the people under
tho impression that the bill had been
under drscutsion until the hour of ad
journment. Men came poux-ing out of
the business places into tho street and
collected about tho bulletin boax'ds to
see if tho news was true. Once satis
fied of this the decorations began.
Neai'ly eveiybody had their decora
tions ready waiting for the signal to
flash them to the breeze. Tho feeling
then was that the bill would go over
till Monday and evexybody had about
settled down to that conviction when
the news was x-eceived at 3:25 that the
bill had passed.
In less than five minutes thereafter
there was an upi'ising of tho natives.
Many of the business houses were com
pletely hidden under tho tricolox * .
Flags floated everywhere. Soon there
began to appear upon the streets young
men in fantastic costumes composed of
tho national colox's , and even young
ladies ax-rayed like Columbias. The
bicycle appeared nearly ono hundred
strong , their wheels beautifully decor
ated.
ated.A
A detachment of men with muskets
went through the residence portion of
the town and made tho welkin x'ing
with their shouting. Tho fire alarm
was set in motion iix a very few min
utes after the news reached here. The
refrain was taken up by the church
bells axxd echoed by the locomotive
whistles. An extraordinary supply of
ih'e crackers and other combxxstibles
had been laid in by the toy stores and
soon a din almost equal to pandimonium
was raised.
No Hope lor the Entombed ITUucrs.
Dunbak , Pa. , June 29. There is no
longer any hope. All faith in the in
dustrious rescurers has been aban
doned. The entombed miners cannot
be rescued now. A furious fire has
scaled their fate , and if the dead
bodies escape the hungry flames the
pilfering rats that infest the mines will
have gnaAved them beyond recognition.
Death never came to men in a nrox'o x'e-
volling fox'm and affliction never fell
heavier oxx the bereaved. This has
been awful , yet even a greater diaster
threatens. A fire fiex-ce as a whix-lwind
is raging for 2,000 feet down into the
yawningmouth of the Hill farm mine.
Deadly gas has generated back
of the burning mine and the
ponderous hill into which the Hill farm ,
the Ferguson and the Mahoning pits
ax'e driven is tonight a mighty maga
zine , fairly pregnant with death. The
slightest stroke of a minex's pick would
explode it and the effect of such air ex
plosion would be awful to coirtemx > late.
The rescuing party has been with
drawn from the face of the Mahoning
pit. A strong guard has been placed
at the mouth of the Fex'guson mines to
keep out the impatient , restless miner's
who would rescue the unfortunates on
their own account. Tho flames at the
Hill fax-m mixxes ax'e hot enough to
drive away the invadei'S.
Fire bx-oke from the mouth of the
Hill Farm pit shortly after 9 o'clock
tonight. It followed promptly after
the drill entered the burning mine.
For two houx-s before the flames bux-st
out huge billows or smoke , black ,
dense and deadly , rolled over each
other ixrto the air and dx'ifted upward ,
forming a ponderous monument of
moux'ning to the dead iirside. A rumb
ling , rushing sound like a swiftly mov
ing train through a tunnel preceded
the flames.
Secretary Watchorn , Superintendent
Hill and the reporter were at the pit
mouth awaiting the outbr-cak. To the
experts the smoke indicated approach
ing fire , axrd for half an hour before
its arx'ival its coming could be heard.
Long before the fire reached the pit
mouth it could be seen licking up the
timbex's in the mine , and the steady
stx'eam of water which rippled down
tho slope seemsd oixly to inspire and
encourage to wilder efforts the angry
fiend.
World * • Pair Presidency.
Chicago , 111. , June 29. Ex-Senatoi
Palmer of Michigan was unanimously
elected president of the world's Colum
bian exposition at the meeting of the
national commission and J. S. Dickin
son of Texas was chosen secretary.
The committee on permanent organ
ization recommended that tho officers
of the commission consist of ; > , px'esi- '
dent , five vice presidents , treasurer
and secretary , the first vice president '
to be of opposite politics of the pi'esi- '
dent , and the other four to be equally . '
divided between the parties. The re- ;
port was adopted and the election of .
the px-esident and secretary settled as \
above.
The matter of vice presidents was re
ferred back to the committee to report 3
x'ecommendations. .
The executive committee of the Na- )
tional Live Stock association called on '
Px'esident Palmer this afternoon. He j
told them that his heart was with them
in their desires x'egai'ding the live *
stock exhibit and px-omises the com
mittee that ho would carefxxlly look .
after tweir interests and advised them ,
to present their petition at once , ini i
sisting strongly upon space being al
lotted and on a rough estimate being ,
made. He further advised them to 1
ask for an even 200 acres.

The president sent to the senate the I
following nominations : Lieut. Richard c

In the scnate on the 23d tho houso
bill for the relief of settlex-s on tho
Norther-n Pacific railroad indemnity
lands was repox'ted and placed on the
calendar. Tho senate then resumed
considex'ation of tho agricultural col-
lego aid bill , and MoiTill offered a sub
stitute for vax'ious amendments pend
ing Saturday , as to the division of the
fund between colored and white schools
of the state. The amendment was
adopted and tho bill passed. Tho con
ference x'eport on tho dependent pen
sion bill was then taken up and Berry
spoke against it. Gorman also op
posed tho conference report. The ex
penditure under the bill would aggre
gate § 78,673,105 and this added to tho
§ 125,000,000 under the existing law ,
would leave tho treasury bankrupt in
1891. Vest spoke of the monstx'ous
abuses that had gx'own up under the
pension system , and declared his belief
that the pending bill was being pressed
for personal and political motives.
Finally the discussion closed and a vote
was taken and the conference x'eport
agreed to yeas 34 , nays 18. A con
ference was ox-dered on the fortification
bill , and Dawes , Plumb and Gorman
were appointed conferees on the part of
the senate. After executivesession the
senate adjourned. Iix the house the
speaker announced the appointment of
Messx'S. Brewer , Butterworth and Say-
ers as confex'ees on the fortification bill.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on tho District of Columbia
business. The committee rose without
final action on the bill. The conferees
on the general peixsion appropx-iation
bill failed to agx'ee. The house insisted
upon a disagx-eement to tho senate
amendments , and adjourned.
In the senate on the 21th , the confex--
ence repox't on the naval appropriation
bill was presented and agreed to. The
senate then proceeded to the considera
tion of the postoffice appropriation bill.
Some amendments were adopted and
the bill passed. The senate then pi-o-
ceeded to the considex-ation of the
diplomatic and consular appropx-iation
bill. Senator Shex-man , from the com
mittee oir foreign relations , moved to
increase tho compensation of the min
ister to Turkey from § 7,500 to § 10,000.
Agreed to. All the amendments hav
ing been agreed to the bill was passed.
Senate bills to .adopt regulations fox-
preventing and in l-clation to collisions
at sea were passed. ( These bills em
body the rules agi'eed to by the
international maritime conference. )
The conference report on tho pensions
appropriation bill was presented. The
senate x-eceded from the only amend
ment xrot arranged in the conference ,
that for the appointment of two addi
tional pension agents , and the pension
appropriation bill now goes to the
president. In the house MxButte x--
worth presented a report of the appro
priation comnriltee upon the senate
amendments to the legislative bill.
Tho x-eport of the committee was
agx-eed to and a conference ox'dei'ed. A
conference was ordered on the bill to :
increase the number of managei's of I
national homes for volunteer soldiexv. I
Tho senate amendment to the house }
bill to extend the time for thepay - j
meirt of the purchase money for the j
lands of the Omaha Indians in Ne-
bi-aska was agx-eod to. Debate took
place on the silver bill until the hour
of adjournment.
In the senate on the 25th the house i
bill for the admission of Wyoming to
the union as a state was considered.
The bill was temporarily laid aside and
Ingalls oii'ci'ed a resolution instructing
the committee on px-ivileges and elec
tions to inquire ixrto the publication of
the recox'd to-day of the personal ex
planation by Call , and report whether i
it is in accordance with tho rules , etc. j
This led to a sharp spat , in coux-se of
which Ingalls charged Call with hav
ing "delibex-atelv falsified the recoi'd. "
He was called to order and modified
this , making it "changed" ' the record , j
The resolution went over without ac
tion and the senate proceeded with the '
Wyoming admission bill. An effort !
was made to have a vote taken on the !
bill , but Vest objected and moved an
amendment and the senate adjourned ,
xn the house the conference report on
the naval appropriation bill was pre
sented. Tire previous question was
then ordex'ed and the confex-ence report
idopted. The silver bill was discussed. !

state was taken up and Jones of Ar- II
kansas addressed tho senate. No defi- ( J
nite action was taken. In tho house , l\ \
the regular order being demanded , Mr. ,1 ,
Lodge of Massachusetts began the de'I
bate upon tho national election bill. ll
lie. proceeded to sketch tho bill in out- ll
line , and said the act which it was pro- JI
posed to extend had been called into- ll
existence by tho gigantic frauds in tho 'I
city of New York px-ior to 1870 and J
1871. Hemphill of South Carolina ar(1
gucd it was unconstitutional , and was II
not national , but sectional. There was- ( I
no mox-e iniquitous provision in the bill jl
than tho ono px'oviding for tho ap- i I
pointment of an unnumbei'ed number ll
of men absolutely under the direction ,1
of the supexwisor. Ho examined in de(1
tail the provisions relating to super- I
visor's , and said tho whole bill seemed \m \
framed against tho voters , and in fa- jl
vor of tho supervisox * . Tho discussion ( I
continued till adjournment , no final ] l
action being taken. [ I
In the senate on the 27th considera- \1 \
tion of the bill for the admission of Wy- \1 \
oming as a state was resumed and Mor- I
fl
gan began an address in opposition to jl
it. Payne and Gray argued against tho < l
bill , and Piatt favored it. The qucs- \1 \
tion was taken on Jones1 substitute , ll
( the enabling act for Wyoming , Idaho ,
Arizona and New Mexico ) and it was '
rejected by a strict party vote yeas [ I
IS , nays 29. Jones , of Arkansas , then | l
moved as a substitute an enabling act ll
for Wyoming alone , and it was rejected ( M
by exactly the same vote. The bill jl
then passed by a strict party vote I
yeas 29 ; nays 19. The bill for the ad- jl
mission of Idaho went over as unfin- < l
ished business till Monday. In the house 'I
consideration of the election bill was { I
resumed. Haugen of Wisconsin ad- I
dx-essed the house in support of tho I
measure. He declared it was not prti- I
posed to touch the state elections , bin , I
did px-opose to supervise national elec- (
tions a clear right of congress. The bill jl
was not a local , but a general one in
its application. Covert of New York
said the bill was an evidence of tho
distrust felt by the republicans of tho 9
government of and for the people.
The republican party was used to meet- jl
ing emergencies. The conference re- ( l
port on the legislative appropriation {
bill was px-esented and discussed. The fl
house acceded to the amendment in- jl
creasing the salaries of commissioner /fl /
and assistant commissioner of the land 11
office and another conference was fl
ordei-ed on the amendments relating to { fl
increase of salaries of senate employes. fl
The speaker announced the appoint- fl
ment of Messrs. Conger of Iowa , Wal- fl
ker of Massachusetts and Bland of fl
Missouri as conferrees on the silver H
bill. <
