The Senate Debates the Bill to Create an Assistant Nn' al Secretary. THE MEASURE FINDS FRIENDS. Dakota Again Discussed Without Comlns to n Vote The Sulpidng BUI , as Amended , Passes the Ijowcr House. Senate. N , Feb. 4. Prajcr was offered by Itov. T. DoWItt Talmngo ot Brooklyn , The chair laid before the senate a letter from the secretary of the treasury In reply to he recent resolution of the senate relating o the conscience fund. The conscience fund , thu secretary says , had Its origin In n mpular belief that donations of money re ceived fiom persons unknown w ere because of money wiongtdlly withheld from the ijov- 'inincnt. ' The llrst Item to the credit of the fund was made In 1827 , nnd the fund now amounts to 8323,740. Among the memorials piesented and np- promlutely referred was one by Mr. Sovvell , consisting of a concurrent icsolutlon of the cglslattiioof New Jcisey , piolestlng against : ho granting by congress of any right to build jrhlges fiom the shores of Now Jeisey to Statcn Island ( N. Y. ) , and asserting the iloctrlno of states' rights In denial of the power of congiess to grant such authority. Several pelltlonswcio presented from or- gn.nI/.illons of tlioKdlglits of Labor , urging : ongress to open up for settlement the terrl- loiy Oklahoma. Mr. Cameron called no the bill providing for the apuoiiituientof an assistant srciotary ot thu navy. The amendment suggested by the naval committee re-nitres that the assist ant shall come from civil life. Mr. Plumb luped some explanation would la given of the ncfid of such oflicer , nnd the need of such haste In calling up the bill at this time , as the bill had been but icceiitly re- Mr , ilawley favored the bill. He thought It one ot the most palpable indications of the times that the A met lean people wanted something like a respectable navy. A thor ough business man would bo necessary. He would bo the confidential assistant ot the sccietai v of the navy. Mr. Beck said that Secretaries Lincoln and Chandler had two years ago made plain to the senate committee the necessity for an assistant In each of their dupaitmunts. A bill was then passed inovldlng lor such nn oflicer in the wai nnd navy departments , but thesnlaiy § 3,500 had not pioved sufficient nnd the officers weic not appointed. The main nigument then Used'yyus ' that a civilian was necessary In order to avoid iealousles. and as was said , "bourbonlsm" on the naval and military olllceis. Mr. Uockfiivoicdtlie bill , nnd pronoscd an amendment. Mr. Van Wj ck thought this an attempt on thepait of the republicans to force the pres ent administration to accept another onicci. Puihaps , however , the word "lorcc" was too strong. Certainly additional officers were continiy to the cxpiesscd dcsiie ot the pub lished platform ot the now administration as It was of the old. lie thought he had bet- tct put the democrallo senators on their guard , so that they might make sure whether this additional olncor was needed. Mi. Van Wj ck presumed the democrats might bo sus picious of the Greek3Teyen when they bore gilts. They might IM > entrapped.Ho had licard of the gieat eiithuslaam.witlj'wlilch the country some months ago ! beard of the dis charge of some laborers' from the bureau of engraving and printing. The leductlon had been made from the men icceiving a dollar a Mr. Logan expressed his willingness to vote for the pending bill if the secretary of the navy said It was necessary. Ho recom mended , however , that former secietaries had asked foi assistants only when the secretaries were new to their places. Mr. Cameron urged an Immediate vote on the bill , but Mr. Logan opposed this , and at 2 o'clock the matter went over. The Dakota bill was then placed befoio the senite , and Mr. Harrison took the floor. Ho insisted that the real animus of the objections was that another presidential election should pass before the people of Dakota weic to bo permitted to participate In such election. Mr. Morgan said the. senator fiom Indiana ( Hairlson ) , who was evidently a candidate lor the pi osidency , might not have a clninco at the votes ot Dakota for Mr. Moigan did not think ho would linen In four years. Mr. Hnrilson leplled that if he ever should bo u candidate , although ho would not bo suio , that ho might justly claim the electoral vote of Alabama. lie would never expect to have it counted lei him. r- The debate now became animated. On Mr. Butler stating In ono Instance that Mr. Harrison did not understand the point at the moment In contiovcisv. Mi. Moignn ic- maikcd : "Oh he docs not want to under- bland it , let him go alone. " Mr. Haiiison insisted that Messrs. Morgan and Butloi had set up a man of straw and hustled him around tnesenatu chamboi , and , as debate proceeded , aiid Mr. Harrison read pipei.s contradicting those lead on the other side , to snow the feeling picvalont in Dakota witluegardto tlio question ot admission , one tenatoi created something of a sensation by quotlue King Henry's exclamation , "Oh. Loidl how this woild Is given to lying. " | Thls brought down the llooi .is well as the 'Mr. Harrison sp Ke at some lencth In further maintenance of the points originally made by him infavorof the committee bill. In concluding his icmarks , Mr. Harrison ap pealed for justice for Dakota from men yvho. as descendants of the men of ' 78 , would themselves feel restive under the icstraint now Imposed on the territory that was seek ing admission. Mi. Butler obtained the floor toicplyto Mr. Harrison , but Mr. Call asked him to give way for an executive session. This Mr. Butler was willing to do. Mr. Harilson wished ! some ngiecmcnt nr- rlv ed at as to the tlmo when the senate should come to n vote on the bill.

The snow storm which swept down upon the city jcsterday continued with lltlln abatement all night. It Is a regular western bllz7ardmid , undoubtedly the woist storm Now York has experienced since 18S2 , thu winter of the Clark-Howe fire. The streets mo being rapidly filled with snow , nnd the street cars are being pulled along burled rails with great difficulty by double teams of hoisc . What adds to the dlfllculty of the situation Is the strike upon the Bioadway and Seventh Avcnuo railroads , Broadway Suifaco inlliond , Sixth Avcnuo railroad , and Fourth Avenue. Nocais left the stables of the several companies since an early hour this morning. As n icsiilt tlio elevated railroads have becnciowdcd to n dangerous extent all the morning. Many business men have been com polled to walk to theli ofllccs. All malls aio delayed , especially those liom the south and west. Some malls have not been heard fiom jet. Not a car has been run over the Fouith AvenueSurfnco road since nn puly ; horn this mooning. Thoslilko U due to thu refusal ot the company to operate the road according to the lecentlv adopted tlmo .schedule foiced upon the company by the oxeeutlv'o board of thoKnipiia Piotcctlon Association of Now Yoik. All cinplojcs of the load are affected by the strike. The company's stables at Thirty-third street nnd Fouith avenue were deserted this afternoon. Cars stood empty on the track and not more thaii a dozen men were .seen about tlio place. Six bundled drlveis and condiictoisalid 200 stable men. employed by the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Hntlroad company quit \\orkatniidnlgiit because the schedule put Into eflcct by the company on Fcbiuary I did not bilng their working time within twelve hours , agreed upon nsn day's work. Several weeks ago the stablemen asked for no concession from the company.

The dllllcultv with tlio Fouith avcnuo line ended this atteinoon , satisfactory nrranee- ments being mudo between the company and men. At 2:30 : o'clock cms stalled luuriim ; . The difficulties hnvo now been adjusted on all Its lines and the stiiku is nt an and. Tliedifllculty on the Fourth Avenue rail way was adjusted late in the afteinoon. The company agiced to lix a schedule ot trips , which will constitute a day's work , and flic pay for which shall be § 2 per day.

An Arizona Tenderfoot Tackles llio Apncho Quc.tlon. ASHLAND , Neb. , Feb. 3. Editor of the BEE : As nearly nil the tcndeifoot soldiers arc cither complaining or advising in the nfl'airs of the department of Aii/onn , I would like to make a few suggestions to tlio smart ones , vidon't : complain of General Crook's management through th public press , as it will do no coed , but sit down and write the general afriendly letter giving him your plan for subduing tlio hostile Apaches nnd instruct him how to handle the troops in a country you know nothing about and under difli- culties you could not comprehend , if on the giound. Then ho will probably rccogni/c your MHjorior ability and expe rience nnd resign in your favor. Then wo will see those Apaches receive thuir juet deserts in less time than it takes to tell about it. But , seriously , do all those who tire complaining about General Crook's dilatonness in subduing the hostiles - tiles know what they arc talking about ? I bci veil Uncle Sam for two jcars in the department of Arizona , just piovious to Ciook's transfer to the department of the Platto. Given two good bronchos , n saddle , a gun nnd ammunition , I can elude the pursuit of lifty men indefinitely nnd maintain myself in the mountains of Ari/onn and Mexico , if this is true , and 1 maintain it is , how in the name of com mon sense can unyono expect General Crook , or any othergenoral , to bring aim keep in subjection thoau Apncho Indians , who aio familiar with every foot of coun try and every vvntor hole in it , witli an in- sunicient force , nnd handicapped by res ervation agents nnd the press , who will declnro every red devil a "good Injun" as soon ns ho makes his nppcaranco on the reservation. Hero they stay long enough to rest , draw i aliens nnd procnro nmumtion , and nru then ready tor nnother raid. Now J hn o a plan for hitbduli ! < r nnd keeping thu Apaches in subjection , 1'iist let tlio president pro vide every Indian agent in the depart ment witli a foiuign mission or scad thorn on an Arctio exploring expedition. Then turn the Indians over to Gun. Crook , give him what troops lie needs , nnd let him alono. His past record is fciiOlcient guaranty of what ho will do , TKNDEIIKOOT. TJin FIRE HKCOUD. Hairbreadth Escapes From a Country Residence Fire. CHICAGO , Feb. 4. The residence of John D , Caton , on the north bluff , Ottawa (111. ( ) , caught Ino about midnight nnd burned to the ground. Theie was none of the family at home. * The servants had nauovv escapes fiom being burned to death , A female domestic was the Hist to waken , and then the room was full of smoke. She sprang fiom her bed , but could not stop to get her cloth- Ing. In a night diess she lushed thiough the hall to the room occupied by the otho servant.

Tlio second part of "The Now English Dictionary" being compiled nt Oxforn , Knglniid , which Jr. Murray is editing , completes the letter "A"midoiitors upon "II.1' There lias been so long n delay be tween the issues of thu lirst and second parts that impatient scholars began to think that tlio dictionary would bo as slow in finishing as the "Acln Sancto rum. " But the delegates of tlio Claren don press , who aio in cfl'ecttho publish ers , now confidently hope that succeed ing pails will appear nt intervals of six months only. Tlio staff has been greatly enlarged , its hcadqunrlcrs have been removed to Oxford , where the minting is done , nnd I suppose there will bo no dilllculty about money. In all , there arc to bo twenty-four parts , and as two have been published , thu whole work ought to bo eoniplutcd wit hin cloven vcais. It is n long time , and this h an impatient ngc , but meanwhile each part is an invaluable addition to the woiKing tools of every student , or of everybody to whoso business u full knowledge ac- ( iurntu use of words are essential. Dr. Murr.iy's qualticatlons for tlio gigantic task ho set himself are of a high order , and the work ho has already donu is pi oof enough of his capacity. Tlio specialists in words admit his competency and npplnud the wolkinaiiship of the dictionary so far ns it has gene If Dr. Murray's discretion worn equal to his learning , ho would bo a model editor ; a standard which , indeed , hu dons not as it is very far dcpai t from. It is in too ready admission of doubtful words and doubt ful aullioiitles that ho may bo said to orr. If tins is nipant to bo n thesauius of all words which have ever been printed in English type , there is nothing to bo said , Dr. Murray's own account of tlio matter is biond enough to cover anything. The general reader , ho observes , will huro lind thu derivation and accepted pro nunciation , tliu past history and present use , of ovciy word which may occur in his leading. Ho adds , to bo sure , a qualification , if it can bo called ono. ilo is to lind every word which may occur in his reading , and concerning which hu may icquiro tin thcr information. There arc certainly many woids vv hich occur in one's current rending concerning which the judicious student would require no other information rhan an assurance that ho sliovld never meet them again. To include in n dictionary all the slang and all thu slipshod uses of words in the printed matter of the eav ! , is to embalm tiles in amber. The rceoid is cmious rather than useful , and it may bo ex tremely misleading ; its influence on the English language corrupting. Tlio gen eral reader , erroneously but inevitably , has come to regard a dictionary n& an authority and to shelter niinselt behind jt , especially if it bo a big one. Scientifically speaKing , a dictionary is not an aulhorjtj" it is u collection ot au thorities. It is a collection of scstimo- nies by credible and respectable wit nesses. The wider an editor .spreads his nut , the less he Q in claim to bt > of himself an autlioiity. His ollico is iudicial ; he is to determine , and tlmt without appeal , on the admitsibility of evidence. But there are judges and judges. Tlio Eng lish judge admits only such evidence as comes within delinito legal rules. A French judge lots in "every thins. Dr. Murry has preferred tofoljowtliol'Vcnch. ' He lends the sanction of his name and of his dictionary to words woich are of to day , and which can have , or ought to have , no to-morrow. It is a dangcous toleration. The system by which the material for this "New English Dictionary" has been collected would naturally tend to accum ulate great masses of quotations. To gather it has been a task of twenty-five years , and of more than 2,800 readers , working under the superintendence of the London Philological society. More than 8,000,000 quotations have been sup plied to the editor , and of these ho means to insert in the completed work not less than a million. So comprehensive a scheme , useful and necessary as it was , inado it all the more imperative on the editor to apply to the results of it a rig idly critical method. But ho lias been moro catholic than critical , and he has acted in the largest spiiit on his own definition , aheady huge , of a dictionary which should include the his tory of every woid nnd of all tlio differ ent uses of every word in the written lan guage. Yet wo all know ho has not really included all , and could not incliulo all. Dr. Murray would not venture to own himself much indebted to the labors of Itis predecessor. Grose , nor will ho adopt into his thesaurus all tlio words which Capt. Burton lias thought needful for rendering to an English car the full moaning of "Tho Arabian Nights. " For ono reason or another , any editor of any English dictionary excludes something. If from this had been shut out much that is tiivinl and transient , as well as what ever is indecent , the work would not have been less satisfactory cither to the scholar or the general render. In most oilier respects this "Now English - . lish Dictionary" is , by the consent of these most competent to judge of it , an admir able piece of lexicographical woik. It is nothing to say that it surpasses nil others. Thcro is no other which can pretend to compete with it in method , in inllnc-is in tlio copious application of the historical principle to each word , or in llio richness of its etymological exegesis. Criticism on it has dealt for tlio most part witli details ; for its general scope and execution there bus been little but enthusiastic praise from the high est philological authorities. 1'orhaps the most marked compliment of al ] comes from I'lanco. M. Paul Mojor , in pre senting the first pint to the Academy of Inscriptions ami of Belles Lcttrcs , pro nounces Dr. Murray's work Niipuiior to nny existing dictionary , including the "Deutches Wortcrbuch , " of tlio brothers Giiinni , or to Littio , which has , heieto- fore , to the French mind , been the stand- ( hinl of a lexicographical excellence. Each part , which is a model of good printing and arrangement , is published liero at 12s Od , and ought to bo procur able in America for something less than $4 , allowing even for impoUciV piolits nnd tariir. _ Another Cold Wave.

ISpcclalJ- All the committees of thu legislature 1mvo finally been appointed , and there seems llttlo else to do o.xeept to cany foi ward the various Investigations id ready set on foot nnd to grind out bills. A disposition has been man ifested on the part ot a largo number ot mombcis to completely oveihnul the various ohniltnblo Institutions of thu state , nnd nioro special investigating committees will soon bo In older. The new asylum at Clatlnd.i , the deaf and dumb nsv him nt Council Bluffs anil the state ngilcultural college nru now the special objects of legislative Inquliy. An unseemly squabble In the faculty of the state1 univcislty at Iowa City will probably lead tea a thoiough nlrlngof that double befoTo the usual npptoprlatlon Is voted. The case against Judge Hayes will conld back fiom thu judiciary committee In a foty aj & , backed up by a favoiablo report , anfl thu Impeachment piocccdlngs will the ! } begin. Yesterday the attention of the senate was hugely taken up In the Introduction of legal- I/ing nets , and thu house had various bills of the bimo natuio under consideration. Actuated by n spasmodic effort nt economy the house cndcav ored to cut oil the usual sup * ply of statloneiy to the press , but after w listing n half day 01 moioof valuable tlmo , did not succeed. The appointment of the committees as ar ranged by SpcaUei Head , notwithstanding thu grow ling of the little monopoly cappci.s.Jis giving unlvcisa ! satisfaction to the friends of the people. Corporation nttoincvs ( eel very soio over the fact that they aio no lontrer patent In shaping legislation In either branch ol the general assembly , and aio making n united kick , but to no puiposo. The free pass blUinlioditccd by Hon. Ocoigo L. Finn , the anti-monopoly member tiom Taylor , will comeback fiom the inllioad committee of the house , of which Mi. F. himself Is chair man , In a few dajs with a tavoiablo icpoit and will pass that body by a good ma- joilty , but w 111 meet w 1th dctcimlned opposi tion in the senate. The woman hiiflrasists aio heie ejciii ! : the leglslaluic as usual and have nheady suc ceeded In getting a special woman suffrage committee uppointod In both houses. It Is vciy piobablo that the woman sutlingo amendment will pass the piesent legislature to incel Its death In the next one , as it has done heioiofoic. Theie Is a determination on the pi it oftho chinch going element to stop the innnlne ot Sunday trains K possible , bollj houses being deluged w lib petitions to tills cflect fiom all parts ot the state. , , ' * Numerous and largely signed petitions , praying tor the enactment of a law icqulilng the teaching of the physiological clfccts of alcohol aie also coming In , and a bill to this effect will bo Introduced at no distant day. ' The effort of the mayors to secuic a local option bill for the laigo cities lias proven n complete fiasco. Since the sudden and utter ly uncxplnliiftblo somersault by Senator Sut > ton on this question , thopioject has not lind a ghost of a show nnd will not receive the snppoit of a Imlf do/.en icpubllcan members In both houses combined. , In the senate to-day bills were Introduced prohibiting railways fiom clmiglng ton cents extra In the case of cash fares on trains when the fare Is fifty cents or loss ; also , to author- I/o and regulate co-oociatlve societies of woiklngmcn for manufacturing and mer chandizing purposes. In the house the bill to prevent property owners from putting property out of tholr possession to avoid taxation was teportod back , with the leconimcndatlon that It bo In- dohnltcly postponed. This called out a warm discussion , nnd the bill was Dually sent to the judiciary committee for fuither consider ation. In the senate Clark's bill , to requlio Instruc tion In the public schools on the elfect of alcoholic Illinois on the human system , was icpoitod favorably by the committee on schools. It called out a long discussion , pending yvliich the. .senate adjoinned. The Biovvu Investigating committee has oiganUed , with Senator Glass as chairman. Owing to the want of a suitable room no meeting will bj held till next Wednesday , when the taking of testimony will begin. This evening tlio joint committee on the suppression of Intemiuranco gave a heating to thomayois and oilier opponents of piolil- bltlon , Mnjoi Vnnghan of Council Blulls de scribed the effects of the license s > stem In Ills city , and thought that the experience ot the Iowa nmyois ought to carry gieat weight with the Icgislatuio.
