Hills and Resolutions introduced and Top ics Discussed by tlu National Rodr of Law, Makers. In the senate on the 28th in connection with a resolution in relation to the Missis sippi river a discussion sprung up and was participated in by many senators, the point turning on the question whether the levee system or outlet system whs a cor rect one or whether thuro should not bo combination of the two. Senator Vest said congress should adopt one sys tem or the other. Senator lCeagau said his investigations had convinced him that the levee system was n failure, as it had been proved in the Yellow river of China, where the river raised nnd devastating overflows caused the loss of millions of lives. The outlet system was the true relief for the overflows ot the Mississippi. After further discussion the business of the morning hour was proceeded with. Sen ator Blackburn introduced a bill for the admission of Aricona. Inferred. The land forfeiture bill was taken up and, after some discussion, went over without action. The senato bill incorporating the society of tho Sons of the American Involution was read.

The pending bill was for the establishment of Kock Creek park. In the course of debate Mr. Hooker, of Missis sippi, alluded to the confederate graves in Arlington cemetery, on the headboards of which are carved the word "lebcl." Ho did not object to this. "Jfebol" was n-t a word of reproach. It onl. showed that they wore tho men who were led by the sec ond great rebel of America, Robert E. Lee, George 'Washington having been tho first. Tho committee having risen tho Kock Creek park bill was defeated. Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, moved a re consideration and the house adjourned.

On the motion to lay Sena tor Call's amendment on the table no quorum voted yeas, 27; nays, 14 but as a call of the senate showed tho presence of rift-two members Senator Sher man rose and said that when ever a quorum was present and the vote did not disclose that fact ho should insist upon the sensible rule that the sena tors present and nof voting should bo counted. After some debate a vote was again taken and Senator Call's amendment was laid on the table by a strict party vote '-yeas, 510; nays, IS. Senator Moody offered an amendment, which was agreed to, declaring the art not to be considered to confer any right on any state, corporation or person to tho lands accepted in tho grants.

Tho senate then proceeded to the consideration of the McKinley administrative customs bill, after which the senate adjourned. In the house on the 2Dth there was a spirited and heated skirmish when Mr. Pierce, of Ten nessee, rising to a question of personal privilege, denied the statement made a few days ago by Evans, of Tennessee, to the effect that there has been ballot stuffing in his district. The speaker ruled that this did Lot present the matter as a personal privilege. This resulted in some sharp talk, in which the speaker was contradicted by Pierce, nnd Mills, of Texas, accused him of fraud. The speak er declared Mills out of order, whereupon he responded: "I am in order, and the speaker is more out of order than the gen tleman from Texas. The ruling is simply an outrage." Tho matter was then dropped. The senate resolution was concurred in, concerning the irrigation of the arid lands of the valley of the Kio Grande. '1 ho lull removing the charge of desertionfiom the record of Wm, Dawson was passed. The senato bill passed for the disposal of the Fort Sedgwick military reservation in Colorado and Nebraska.

The cot was ?C0, 000, but there is no appropriation in the bill Senator Piatt's "resolution for the correction of the Oklahoma bill wa agreed to and the senate adjourned.

The committee on rules reported a rescu lution providing for the immediate consin eration of the- 6enate dependent pension bill, to which the Morrill service pension bill gaay be ordered as a substitute, the Ssvious question to be considered as or red at 4 o'clock. Mr. Carlisle prot66ted against the adoption of resolutions of this character, which took away ftom the com mittee of the whole the right to consider many bills and forced the house to TOta mpon them after a brief debate. It was sot fair to the members of the hoase; it was not fair to the taxpayers of the country. "The pension estimates ware sever liberal enough and he said the exaeaditares under the senate bill would amaaa to $45,000,000, and under the new fcouee bill to $50,000,000.

In the senate on the ist Senator Vest, from the select committee on meat pro ducts, made a report to the senate, and ac companied it with an explanation. lie asked, in the name of the cattle raisers of the country, that tho bill be taken up and considered at an early day. Senator Cullom recognized the impor tance of the measure and declared him self anxious to secure an early considera tion. He asked Senator Vest whether tho repeil would be very long or whether it could be printed soon. Senator Vest re plied that the report covered about 100 pages of type-written matter, and he sup posed it could be printed in a few dayp.

President Gompers and the Worklngmen. May 1, was a proud day, not unmixed with anxiety, for Samuel J. Gompers, president of tho American Federation of Labor. It was tho day for tho great May day parade, a demonstration ogrccd upon long ago, and in tho preparations for which months have been spent, with tho purpose of empha sizing the strength of the labor organiza tions of America, and of Illustrating their demand for an eight-hour day. Mr. Gompers is a cigarmaker by trade, and has been shown by his rapid rise in position and influence, a man of great executive I ability, As president of the federated or- I SAMUEL J.

For the main part his ut terances and actions in the great struggle now going on for shorter hours, have been temperate and judicious. It has been his constant advice that other trades do not engage in sympathetic strikes at this time, but wait for the result of the carpenters' 6trike. Says a Chicago dispatch of the 1st: In view of the fact that the working peo ple of the city ara turning out very goner ally to-day, either to take part or witness the eight-hour work day parade, it is im passible to accurately measnro the extent of the promised strikes.

From the best information obtainable at this hour it seems probable that there will ba spasmodic strikes hero and thore among Bman bodies of discontented workmen, but that none of tho great industries of the city will bo brought to a standstill, such as had been the case with building operations, consequent upon the carpen ters' strike Up to noon tho talked-of strike at tho stock yards was a failure. There was no concerted action toward stopping work. Satiofirri in Milwaukee. In Milwauko tho demand of the union carpenters for the adoption of an eight hour day was not coupled with a demand for increased wages, andas the men are willing to accept eight hours' pay for eight hours' work, tho movement has met with no strong oppposiiion on the part of their employers, although the Contracting Car penters' association declined as a body to formally declare in favor of eight hours, many individual members of tho associa tion have announced that they will con form to the wishes of tho men. The indi cations are that if any striking is done it it will be in cases where individual con tractors insist oa retaining the ten hour system. Strike in Ronton Says a Boston dispatch: A strike of c.rpenters in this city for an eight hour day was inaugurated this morn ing and about 2.000 men are out. It is estimated there are about 2,000 men In the city who have been granted eight hours by about 100 firms not members of the Master Builders' association. A number of the members said the strike is of much smaller dimensions than they expected. TwoItioiiand Carpenters Out in Detroit. A Detroit dispatch says: Fully 2,000 carp'enters are out in this city to-day. The strike is expected to be short livcd,-as the principal contractors aro con ceding the men's demands and it is thought work will be pretty generally resumed to morrow. No other tr&de except the car penters have been affecced by the move ment. Many Wounded in Pesth. The Pesth dispatch is less specific, t says: ,.- The labor demonstration here was marred by a schne cf bloodshed. Early this morning'a large number of workmen gathered imjnront of the rolling mill. Un der the excitement of the 'agitators they engsged-rh a riotocs demonstration which the police were powerless to quell. The mob was ordered to disperse and upon the refusal to obey the troops charged with fixed bayonets, wounding many of the men. J ' Strike for Nine Houyy.

Crowfoot the great chief of the Black feet, died on the 26th of inflammation of the lungs, after a few days' illness. In his will he named Three Bulta as his suc cessor. Crowfoot, or Sapomaxiho, was one of the leading characters in the Can adian Northwest. The history of this region for the past half century has been largly determined by him. His in fluence over the- Indians was supreme. He was the closest embodiment pos sible of the mythical noble - red man. Dauntless in battle, imbued with all the instincts of the Indian, he at the same time possessed many traits of char acter which commanded the admiration of all whom he was brougkin contact.

He was ever the friend of the missionary. His re fusal to join the nbels in tho la9t north west rebellion prevented what would oth erwise have been a long and bloodv con flict. He Married a Poor Girl. The Shoemaker family is one of the old est and wealthiest families in the anthra cite regions. Their annual income from coal royalties alone reaches $250,000. One member of the family is McDonald D. Shoemaker, whose income is $20,000 a year. He is about 40 years of age. Until very recently it had been Understood that McDonald was towed a daughter of One of the wealthiest men of AViikesb.irre. Sud denly the youug man changed his mind and declared that ho would marry a poor girl, one who could assist him in case of adversity. His parents were very indignant when they tear i ed of McDonald's intentions, and even went so far ob to pet:tion the court to inquire into the ydunc man's sanity, lie was determined, however, and one day last week he took a train for Elmira, in company with Annie Lawrence, a young woman who had been formerly employed as a housekeeper. At Elmira they wero married. On Saturday Shoe maker returned with his bride to Wilkes barre, intending to install his wifo in bis mother's house. His uncle, John nar rower, was in waiting, and as soon as tho bridal couplo put in an appearance, nar rower threw their baggage into the street, and when Shoemaker attempted to enter tho house his Uncle knocked him down, blackened his eyes and knocked him into the gutter. Shoemaker has sinco had his uncle arrested. There is great excitement over tho matter in aristocratio circles. Escaped Juxtice for Many Year. Seven years ago Omri Thompson and Ovid White followed Jacob Johnson homo from the Salem, Ind., fair, killed and robbed him. Both fled to Mexico, but later re turned to Kansas. Thompson was arrested at Wyandotte, returned to Salem, triod and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. White, who was apprehended in Doniphan county and escaped by killing the sheriff, has been believed dead since. His arrest at Mineola is now announced. Omri Thompson attempted to escape recently. Tools and money were smuggled to him in hollow apples, and sawing through two floors he escaped, but misssed his friends, who had a change of clothing for him. Hiding under a barn, a dog betrayed him. A most exciting chase over precipitous knobs followed. Volleys wero fired after him, but he was unhurt and only captured when falling, after a six hours' run, nearly lifeless from exhaustion. Thompson claims to be innocen and says that White compelled him to accompan yhim. Afraid of the Clieyonnes. Troops A nnd B, under command of Capt. Wells, have arrived at Oelrichs from Fort Meade, and gone into camp, having been sent there for the purpose of inter cepting the Pine Ridge Cheyenne Indians who, it is claimed, are becoming uneasy and threaten to leavo tho reserva tion without leave and 6triko out for Montana on a visit to the nortern Chey eunes. i. is the intention of tho govern ment to prevent this, and with such an idea in view troops are being sent to different poiuts around and adjacent to the reser vation. Settlers have no fears of any hos tile demonstration on the part of the na tion's wards, and look upon the presence of troops here with not a little merriment. It is quite likely the soldiers will remain during May and June. Mysterious Disease in Indiana. A special from Muucio, Ind., says: Yesterday a half hundred people in this city were suddenly seized with pains nnd severe sickness of the stomach, attacks continuing several hours. A number aro still quito sick, with new cases developing to-day. Much excitement at first pro vailed, as physicians were foiled in deter mining the cause, some thinking that the rouble aroso from diseased meat while others pronounced it la nona, the prevail ing epidemic in Germany and Italy. At tho Abbott house twenty-two boarders, with the proprietor and wife, aro victims, all being attacked at the same time. James Burgess was walking along the road whero ha fell, and laid unattended for an hour. Twelve Were Drowned. The steam gin and saw mill of Charles Lawrence, situated iu Sparkey county, three miles from Rolling Fork, Miss., was burned Saturday night. The loss is small. Fifty or 6ixty of Mr, Law rence's tenants were quartered in the mill, and in their efforts to escape from the Homes seven wero drowned. They had taken'refuge there from the overflow, and it is stated that their carelessness caused the fire. The report that several lives had been lost in the Lob J ell disaster has been confirmed. A family named Watson, numbering five persons, wa3 drowned. Sarah Altliea on the Warpath. Sarah Althca Terry made her appearance in the office of C. G. Sayle, administrator of the estate of David S.

Many Complaints of the tat Eaforeensrat or tho Immigration1 Laws; Word has been received that Secretary Windom,- if ndt exactly alarmed,- is cer tainly agitated over the importation of contract labor immigrant?. There Is scarcely a labor organization in the country which has not complained that the admin istration is altogether too loose in the methods by which the importation of for eign contract labor has been controlled a New York city. In the complaints which the secretary has received there is nothing particular said of the board of state immigration, neither aro there any comments reflecting on Collector Erhart or Colonel Webber, the present boss of the business. Tne complaints ate based chiefly on the statement that there aro not enough representatives of the federal ad ministration to prevent the influx of con tract laborers. Thus it comes about that there is a desk full of complaints from plasterers, stonemasons, musicians, and, iu fact, nil tho principal labor unions in the country; that shiploads of foreign competi tors aro turned loose upon the country every month. These labor unions have made it a question of politics with the ad ministration. They protest that there must be enough men appointed to protect their interests, or they will make it warm for tho administration. Secretary Win dom has issued orders that the utmost vigilance must be exercised in scanning the cargoes of Rtceraga passen gers who arrive at tho port of New York every day in tho week. From this source tho federal official who dees net attend to this matter strictly will have a hot time with the secretary. Mr. Windom himself is expected almost any day to give his personal supervision to carrying out these instructions. From all that can be learned President llerrison is alarmed at tire free importation of contract iabor. A Southern Snmh.

A letter has been received by Gen. Ruger, of the department of Dakota, in St. Paul, from Maj. Carroll, of Fort Cus ter, Mont., giving the details of a peculiar excitement among the Indians of the Tongue river agency in Montana. The Indians have been lod to believe that a messiah is soon to appear to them. The Choyennes and Arapahoes, of the Indian territory, are greatly excited over the 6ame matter. It appears that though these In dian tribes are fully a thousand miles apart they both have the same belief that a 6avior is soon coming to them'and that he will destroy the white people of America. The Shoshone Indiaps claim to have seen Christ and that he has promised to roll the world over on the whites.
