It is the general belief iicie that the Blair educational bill \ \ III bo defeated. Its friends in thohouse aio fewer than they were a few months ago , notwithstanding tlie action of thobcnato to-night. The advocates of the proposition , who place a picmlnm on Illiteracy , have found enemies In all sections of the eountrj , and the members have lately been flooded with newspapers piotestlng against It fiom .sections in which Senator Bhir thought himself the most powerlnl. The north and west have been paitlciilarly emphatic in condemning the bill , and the south Is by no means united In Its Mippoit. WANTS A KKAI'I'IIAISUMKN r. President Cleveland sent to the speaker of the house of icprcscntativos to-day a bill pio- paied by the secretary of the inteiior provid ing for icappraisemcnt and sale of a tract of land In Nebraska belonging to the Sac and Fox Indian rcseivatlon. Tlio appiaisemcnt w.is made at 5.10 an acie , which Is found to boexcessive. The bill just picpaicd gives the hceietary of the Interior authority to re- apinalsc the l.uul and sell it to the highest bidder at not less than the appraised value.

Nebraska's Senior and tlio Howling British Pup That Bothorn Jllui. AYABiuxfiTOK , Mmch 3. [ Special. ] Tlio fact that Senator Van Wjck has been exces sively aiinojrd by a lot of howling dogs kept by the attaches of the British legation has been commented upon by neaily every news- jtapcr In the countiy. The Benator istlll bullors tiom thoannojaiice , and is banteied a good deal on this account by his associates In the bcnate , Hu was asked the other dav why ho illd not avail himself of the consti tutional pilvilego of self-piotection and put an end to the balking buites with a leaden h'lllet. Senator Van Wyck , who avpreclates \ciy thoroughly the POM era of the. foieign diplomatic corps answered that ho would si ont ( he dog In n moment , but for the fcai ll'itt ho would he taken to Kngland for trial bt'foio the senate udjourncd. i coNvuruTioN : LAID our , The cat' itiu sjiucih of Senator intallb In ll.nbcnatc.ut ) , In which hu arraigned those of his conrcrei who arc constantly thrusting the constitution against almost every measure which Is proposed , tins been the subject of a great deal of discussion and the cause ofery many reminiscences among congressmen dining the past week. A Now York member , \\hosenod In the senate of the Empho state , tells a rather good sloiyon "Tim" Campbell of New Yoik In this con nection. Ho "aid that some jcars ace the Honorable "Tim" had n bill In the Now Yoik senate which ho was very anxious to have pr.Sjed. The senator fiom the Twenty-llflh district arose to oppose the bill on constitu tional ground * , when Iho Jlon. "Tim , " ad- drcsslnc him , said : "Will the gentleman from tlio Tvvcnty-llftli allow mo to ask him a question ? " Thcptlvllego was granted , and "Tim"continued : "Pliat has the constitu tion to do wld n question between frlns ? " Ills appeal was successful , and amid the lauijli which followed , the bill passed In splto of tlio constitution. sn.vXKii HAD ins nnvnxnr. The probable lejectlon of the nomination of Judge Mcilick as one of Iho judges of the supreme court of tl.o District of Colum bia calls to mind the cause of his icmoval fiom the bench some twenty 3 cars ago. Kx-Congiessman Spinner of New York had been appointed ticasuier of the United Slates , and lie went to one of the judges to take the oath of ofllce. The judge , who was a southcin man and a hcaity southern sjnipatlilrcr , icfic-ed to administer the oatli because Spinner was distasteful to the southcin ele ment by reason of his abolition speeches In the house. Upon the refusal to administer the oath the old gentleman be came \oiy angiy , and went out saving , "Per haps theio is nothing in the constitution to compel you to administer the oath to me , and , peihaps , congiess cannot compel yon to do so , but congiess can put you out of ofllce , and 1 will see that It does so. " A bill was Intiodnccd In the house a few days alter abolishing the supreme comt of the dlstiict of Columbia , and among Its wannest advo cates was Mr. Spinner , who had been sworn in as United States ticasurcr. The bill passed , the couit was abolished , and It was leoigatiUed under a subsequent law by the appointment of men whose sympathies weie not .stiong enough to Induce them to 10- fuse tocai iy out the duties for vv hldi they wei o appointed. The objection to Judge MenIck among tlie senators Is that ho Is now so old that lie will icach the ago of rctiiemcnt within a vciy few yc.us. POHTY-MN'l'H COXGUKSS. Senate. AVAsntxoTox , March y. The chair laid bcfoic the senate the ptcsldent's message on the tic.itmeiit of the Chinese In the west , which has alieady been published , if was ictciicd to tlie committee on foieign icla- tions.

'Iho petition was icfcircd to tlio com mittee on the Distilct ot Caluinbia. Mr. Kvaits presented the petition of the otllcers and trustees ot the savings banks ot New Yoiu state , piaylng congress to stop the coinage of the silver dollar. It was icfeiied to tlie committee on linance. Mr. Uiddleberger ottered a resolution , which was aciced to , re'iuliing each senatoi to lepoit to the senate the name of his pi hate secietaiy. In Intiodiicing the resolution Mr. Itlddlebergcrsaiit that some men weie holding tickets of admission to tlio senate lloor who would not bo admitted to the par lors of a gentleman's icsldcnce. Such tick ets weie so Issued to people who received no pay except admission to tlie senate lloor to blackmail gentlemen to libel them in their newspapers. .Mr. Itlddlebcigcr said ho knew of a case In point. We know what had been said in the house of lepiesontatlves about Kails being on the lloor of that lieu c. Ho asked II It weie peniilssab'o ' for him ( Hlddlo- bcrger ) to state that while Kads had not been on tlio lloor of the senate ho bad had three henchmen theie two ieprc enting re publican new spapeis and ono a democratic newspaper whoc.imo to sectno inloimatlon on which to libel senators.

Alter the adoption of the icsolution Mr. Hoar had It lecunsldeied and amended so as to have the names sent In to the becielary of the senate. The education bill was then taken up , and Mr. Hairison spoke In advocacy ot the bill and In opposition to Mr. Allison's amend ment. An amendment offered by Mr. Hoar to the amendment of Mr. Allison was tigiecd to , piovldlngtlMt Ino.ich state havingscpaiato whltu and coloieil schools , the money re ceived by such Ntnto under the bill hliould bo apportioned and applied in thopiopoitlonot illiteracy of the two races le.siiectlvely , until an equal sum per capita shall lia\obecn ap- propilated fiom national and Mate funds ; andilcclailng the object of the bill to bo to .secure equal advantages to all chlldien of w batovcr color or i ace. Mr. Kdmnnds then moved a substitute for the amendment as amended. The substitute is as tollow.s : "And In each btato and teul- toiy In which thcrohliall be sopaiate schools lor white and coloied ehlldiun , the money paid In such btate or teuitoiy shall bo appoi- tioned and paid out lor the suppoit ot such white and coloied schools lespectlvely , In the piopoitlon that the white and coloied dill- dten between the age-sol 10 and 21 years in such state or ten I lory bear to each oilier , as shown by thi ) census of lbb ( ) . Tlio foiegoing piovislon shall noteifect the application of a projici pioportlon of Mild money to the snp- poit of all common schools wherein no dis tinction of race or color shall o\Ut. " Mr. Kdimuuls addressed the senate In sup port of this amendment. Mr. Logan bald theie seemed to bo a greater desire tobe consldeied the champion ot some kind ot a bill that would bo called an educa- cation bill than to liiuo ono tlmt would pro duce the icsult contemplated. He ( Logan ) wab as silicon ) n fi lend of tlio colored race as nny senator on thu floor. Ho ( Logan ) had Intioduced two of these education bills In Ibb * , ono In IbsS , and ono In IhSi , Ho had appealed bctoro the education committee of the bcnato In older to make some biigges- tlons , but soon came to tlio conclusion that what little hu had to say would luuo no oiled on tlio mind of tlmt committee. , and thai the icsiilt would bo what it over had been that the shrewdness and bhaipnc.Sb of the men on that committee fiom south ot the line would get the veiy ad\antages that by this bill they eventually had got. Foimeily. Logan said , the colored people of the .south cnvo leprescntation to congress and In tha electoral college based on the ihiee-tiflhs principle , iiowwas It now ? Tlioiepienentation was based on the whole number ot colored and white people Acnl- nied man counted the same a * a white man. On that principle the southern presenta tion In thueltvtoi at college and In congress was enlarged , but to wliat end ? When It came tootlng when * were the colored people ? Mississippi had n white voting pop ulation of iftJ.rjbO and a colored \otlng population of JSOU70-that is to tai\ about 80,000 majority of colored votes. How many men voted in Mississippi ? Only ieo.000 , jn t 10XX , ) more Ilian there weio while uilci * . Wkat that \oto meant and tliowed Mr. Logan would not bay. He did uot think , however , that It was for want of education tli.it thccoloied peoplu abstained from votlntr. They w tie counted w hencver greater political power would eomn to thu wl.lte men by couutlu ; ; them ; tliey wcw not counted as voters. When election day came no man said to the colored voter , "Stand up and be counted. " The same principle , Mr. Logan continued , ran through tide school bill as repotted fiom the committee. What for ? Kor money. For whom ? Was it for themselves ? Oh , no : It was the old story , and uoithcin men had alwajs been found In congiess willing to legislate on the coloied man for the benefit of the while man , If money waste to bo taken from the ticasnry on the basis of the coloied race , In God's nanio let the colored people gel tlielr pioportlon of It. That was the object of the amendment proposed bv the senator from Iowa ( Allison ) , but the bill would accomplish nothing as It stood because the amount Was too small. What was § 7,000,000 the lirst year when dis tributed around among the states ? At pres ent In some poitlons of Iho south , school could not bo kept open more than lour months. The piovlsfon of the bill would add \ery little to that- Hence ho ( Log.in ) proposed to nmko the llrst ) ear's appropria tion SIOooo,000 Instead of 87,000,000 , incieas- Ing the amount each i car for H\e j oars and then decreasing It , until In ten years tlio amount evpendeil would bo Siw,000,000. : This amount was cnonnlitoaccomplish some thing. Decides his amendments Included a scpaiate fund of 52,000,000to aid in the build ing of school houses In sections of country in which the local community mlghtbe too poor to stand all the expense ot building. SchoolIng - Ing could not be got without school houses. Hut the gcneial government should super vise this thins In some way , Ho ( Logan ) favoied a commission for tlmt puipo e not to presetIbe what should be taught , or to Inteifcie with schools , but to -co wheio the moimy went to. Thcic seemed , however , to bo n disposition to pass the bill w Ithont the amendment , even If it did no moie good than thiowing money into H pool. 11 the senatoi from New Hamp shire ( iilaii ) wanted to analgn him ( Logan ) before either the noitiicin or .southorn people ple for wanting this amendment , ho could do so. The time would come , Logan said , when gicat wilteis , oratois , poets and musicians would be found belonging to the coloied lace. We should reach our light hand to these people ple stiuggllng down in the pit ot daikncss and despair ; wo should llftthein up and give them a lair and equal chance. Mr. Hlalr was willing to accept Mr. Ed munds' Mibstltutoloi the Allison amendment , and it wasagiecd to. Mr. Dolph moved to amend by providing that the bill should not take ellect till two- thiids of the states should accept its piovls- lons. It was i ejected. Mr. Doliih called up the yeas and nays on his amendment , and pending the calls the senate went Into executive session , and when tliodoois ic-opeiied adjourned. House. AVASIIIXCI TON , Maieli 3.

The readers of the Ur.i : have already been Infoimcd that on Febiuary 3 , lb > 0 , William Hawkc tiled his petition In the dlstiict comt of the county , piaylng for a dUoico on the ground of extieme ciuclly. Since that date conjcctuio after conjeduic , icpoit followed by lepoit , have been put ulloat as legaids what course the defendant would take , some saying the breach would bo bildged over , while others ! m\o gl\cn It as their opinion that the piayer as applied for In the plaintiffs peti- tlllon would go before the court without any contest on the pai't of the defendant , but to day surmises , lepoiis and conjectuies asre- gaids the action of the defendant received a check In the tiling of thu defendant's an swer to said petition fordlvoico In tlio dls tiict clerk's olllco of tlio county. The answer conipnses about live pages of legal cap. The defendant , in answerdenies that she has ever been guilty ol extiemo ciuelly , or that the plaintiff has over since tlielr marriage con ducted himself toward her as a tine and faith ful husband. The answer then goes on to chaigo Iho plaint ! ! ! with the excessive use of Intoxicating liquors , and that his conduct at such times tended to destioy her peace and happiness and Impair her bodily health. "And that tiie said plainlllf had ever since said man iage gi ossly.crnolly anil wantonly re- tused and neglected to provide the defendant with suitable and proper clothing ; that never , at any time since said man Iage , has ho given deloiidant any aitlelo of clothing ; that de fendant has been forced 1o sew and embroi der to cam money to puichaso her wealing appaiel. " Alter ictuting the chaiges made by plaintift In his petition to tlio effect that she had at divers times lefuscd to pieparo his meals for him , Mis. Hawko concludes her answer as follows : "That the plalntllf , utterly icgaid- less of the duties and affections of a husband , has lett their home williout any cause or pro vocation on defendant's pait , and has left the defendant penniless and homeless , and without one morsel of food. That she hits' donated her cntlic time , energy and labor for the comfort of her husband and the happi ness of their homo ; that she did the cooking and washing for their household , and built the homo files , and waited upon the plaintiff , and blacked and polished his boots. Where fore the said defendant prays that the .said plaint ! ! ! may recover nothing by his said suit , but that the said action may bo dis missed and that said defendant may havs judgment and her costs In this action most wrongfully expended. " Colonel F. P. Ireland will look after the Intcicsts of the plaintiff , while Hon. John Matson will appoir for tlio defendant. Pub lic sentiment seems to bo in the majority on the side of the defendant. It looks now as though the case will bo hotly contested. A Boom on the Smiling Blue. BLUI : SritiNGS , Neb. , Maich 3.

[ Special Telegram. ] The Sun this moinlng prints a long ed- Itoilal under the heading oP'ThcPicsUtent and the Democrats , " I'lom which the follow ing extracts mo made : "The time has come for plain and honest speech. The hope of bettering a bad condition of things by patient forbearance , by appiobatlon for all that could be appiovcd , and byadesho to avoid eveiy cause of probable dlillculty , has In duced the dcmociats to withhold tiuth that can no longer be piopeily concealed from public view. Candid consideration of them may possibly piovldo a lemcdy for the exist ing evils. A year has passed away since Cleveland was Inaugmatcd as president under cheoifnl and oncouiaglng auspices. Tlio paity was united and the out look was satlsfactoiy when ho en- teied the white house. The situation to-day , as compaied with what It was on the 4th of March , 1885 , Is sadly altered. It is not neces sary to Inquho into the causes which have biought about this chango. The fact exists that tlicie Is no coidlal confidence , familiar communication , or political cohesion between the piestdent and the democrats In congiess. They have been drifting apait gradually until It may be said the line of sepaiatlon between them has become broad and maikcd. The piesldent's want of experience In national atlalrs and his slight acquaintance with public men , aio doubtless icsponslbie for some ottho cnois Into which no was un consciously misled in tlio beginning of Ills new cares. In a limited redistribution of pationago the president lias suffered as all hlsplcdecessorsof late years have sulleicd , by either wilful or accidental deception. Discovery of tills practice made him suspi cious in other cases , and by slow degiees a mutual distiust has giown up which now ap pears as threatening danger to the democ racy. A scries of singular successes In his brief earcei has undoubtedly pioduccd a belle ! In the president's mind that his whole course has been acceptable to the people , and that however politicians may disagree witli him , ho Is always sure of that support. This be- llet strengthens the sclt-asscrtton which seems to be natural to his character , and is liimly and bluntly maintained against arguments and mild piotestatlons when dlf- feicnces aio discussed. Hence it is giatity- ing to know that a confeicncc between ac credited lead cis and the president will soon take place , at which the point of disagiee- ment will be frankly discussed and with hopes ot-a clearer iiiidcibtaiiding.

The Uock Island feels rather sore over the continued efforts ot the St. Paul and Illinois Central loads to puichaso tick ets of the Bock Island Issue at scalpers' ofllco at i educed rates to find a pretext for cutting rates still further.

It is stated the St. Paul and Noithwestern aio now considering tlio advisability of hoitcninc tlio running time of their trains between Chicago and St. Paul from eighteen to fourteen hours. If this Is done the Bock Island will have no other , nlteinatlvo left than to meet the shorter time by its compctitois with a coircspondlng icductlon of r.ites. Under these clicumstanccs It Is claimed the only way out of the existing complications is al lowing tlio Bock Island adillcientlal late. This no doubt will bo the ultimate solution of the problem , but before it is done the St. Paul and Noithwestern will make a deter mined effort to bicak up the commission sys tem which they think is icsponsiblo for the piesent tionbics.

Dr.s MOINKS , Iowa , Match a [ Special Teleitram.J Tlio house devoted Iho whole of to-day to an animated debate on the question of Impeaching Judge Hayc * . The ca o came tip under a majority lepoit of the judiciary committee , iccoinnicndlng an Investigation of the chaigcs against him with a view to Impeachment. The minority report lecom- niends dropping the subject without further action , Alieady It Is appaient that whatever is done will have to bo done as a paitlsan measuie. 'Hie commltteo reports were made on party Hues. The debate to-day as inado on paity lines , with ono exception , Major Thompson , n lepnbllcan , opposing the Inves tigation , but In general none but republicans favor the Investigation and none but democrats oppose It. The action of the democrats Is In strange contrast to their couisoa month ago. When Auditor Brown , n icpnblican , was tinder criticism , they were ravenous for an Investigation , even though It lead to impeachment. Now , with a demo cratic judge undei Hie , they are solidly op posed to any Innuhy Into ills conduct , and tight it inch by inch. Tlio prosecution was led to-day by Bcpic- sentatlve Weaver of llardln county and the deienso by Colonel Keatley of Council Bluffs. Tlio former , In his opening speech , said thera weio two { impositions which , If true , would justify impeachment. Fhst , that Jiulgo Haves conuptly abused the dis cretion vested in him by as sessing punishments. Second , that ho exceeded the jurisdiction of his office. Ho is cluuged with n coirupt combination with the district attorney to charge and collect fees moio than should have been charged. He Is clmigcd with dlscouixginLr : a plea oE guilty. I such plea Is given , lie rcnuois judgment forS100 and costs. Attoinoy lor the accused objects. Hayes scratches out Iho judgment. Tlio plea Is cnteicd not guilty. Nodcfcnso Isoircicd , and a line of S.'i is Im posed. It is further charged that in eveiy way possible ho has biought his influ ence , by leason of his high olllce , to bilnp : the law Into dlslavor. It becomes Judge Hayes , If ho believes the law a bail one , and ought not tobe cnloiced , to fcsljm his olllco and not use It lor the purpose that ho . has. He should ticnt the law against selling Illinois as he would the law against larceny , assault and battciy , or any other .statute In our code. Ho might make the line light for the fiist offense , but It one should bo aiiested and biought back time and again , week after week , ho would bo n strange judge , Indeed , who would let him go on Ills own recogniz ance. Alohas so used his dfcciotion that wo must believe he has used his power to shield the criminal Instead of punishing him , and as such ho should bcanswciablo to the high- e.st tribunal in the hind. Mr. Kent ley followed Mr. Weaver , saying that ho rccognl/cd theimpoitaiicenndgravity of the duty of the house at this stage of the pioccedlngs. Ho coincided with his oppon ent ( Weavei ) in totting aside all vnrtlsan feeling. It has been claimed here , ho con tinued , that In uiglng the rlghtfnlncss of the majority lopoit , tlmt theio Is no bound to tlio rights of this house In detei mining whether j Hayes should appear befoio the senate and answer to tlie chaigcs In the memorial. Ha ( Keatley ) stood etlrely : uninfluenced by any body or peison. Ho had never mcb Hayes but once , fifteen years ago , and knew nothing of tlio charges until reading the memorial. Ho wanted to dlschaign his duties In a conscientious man ner and with that end In view had given the subject carelul study. He would ask the In dulgence of tlio house as to time. Tills body owed it to itself that befoic voting articles of impeachment to the .senate lo take time for n most thorough Investigation. Theio Is no countiy under the sun having a coint of Im peachment llko our own except among Kn- glish speaking people , i'ho matter of Im peachment was not of rapid ijiowtli , but of slow grow th.
