Ho wont over on November 10 , in company
with Henry Saundcrs , liberal member from
East Hull , who had been making a tour o {
this country. "Wo went over by the Eider , "
said Mr. George. " 1 spent a week in Lon
don seeing friends , and then addressed a
number of meetings In England and Scot
land. A great many banquets were given
mo and I received a Haltering
list of addresses. The meetings wcro
all very enthusiastic. I found everywhere a
thorough knowledge of the land question ,
nnd a growing desire oa the part of the
people to agitate. The difference in my re
ception lour years ago and now was as
marked as It was encouraging. The situa
tion is so Important that at the earnest re
quest of my friends in Great Britain I have
agreed to go buck there by March and stump
the kingdom for three months. There is an
intense but quiet feeling about the papal re
script condemning Irish agitation. The Irish
bishops have held it back hoping that they
mav induce the holy father to modify it. It
will be the occasion of much agitation in the
near future. "
Mr. George expressed himself thoroughly
satisfied with his visit and was enthusiastic
about the warmth of his reception and the
change of the people and press of England
on the land question.

The appointment of Leon O. Uailo.V to bo
United States district attorney for Indiana
Is considered the most partisan act of Presi
dent Cleveland. It Is looked upon by repub
licans in the senate as indicating in n de
gree the Ill-feeling the present occupant of
the white liouso must bear toward his suc
cessor-elect. Leon Bailey is now , and has
all along been , the deputy of District Attor
ney Sellers , whoso resignation a few days
ago caused so much comment throughout the
the country. IIo it was who delivered the
speech at Indianapolis during the recent
campaign in which it was first charged on
the forum of the state that General Harrison
risen had declared that "a dollar n
day was enough for n laboring man ; "
that "a cheap coat generally cov
ered a cheap man , " and that during
the railroad strikes nt Indianapolis in 1S77 ,
General Harrison , as an oiliccr in the local
militia , advocated shooting down the strikers
nnd wanted to wade knee deep in their
blood. The speech was printed In document
form and circulated everywhere. Bailey
followed his speech with nllldavits to provo
his assertions. Ho spent weeks at this work ,
heaping parsonal columny and villlflcatlon
upon the republican candidate for the presi
dency. Ho guvo the dollar-a-day lies cre
dence , by stamping them with his olllcial
authority. Ho was deputy district attorney
of the United States , and drew his salary ,
and neglected his ofilci.il duties to do this
political woric. Although the attention of
President Cleveland was called to what
Bailey was doing , ho was not requested to
refrain from it. Now that ho la hon
ored with this distinguished promotion
President Cleveland has endoiscd all that
Bailey has said against General Harrison.
He has given his approval of Ihi ! origin nnd
circulation of it nil. The nomination will
not bo continued by the republican members
of the committee on Judiciary , who will pass
upon thinomination. . The Bailey appoint
ment will not only not bo confirmed , but it
will bo rejected. Your correspondent this
nfteinoon made imiuirv amontr quite a num
ber of republican senators , and with one
voice they said the nomination would bo re
jected. A member of the committee on
Judiciary said : "f assume that it would bo a
personal affront to General Harrison to take
Invorablo action on this nomination. It
is surely un affront to the intelligence ,
and decency of the senate. Mr.
Cleveland is in bad blood. His message
showed that. I never saw such a bad temp
ered document , The man seems to hnvolost
his balance. I am amazed nt this nomina
tion , although it is not more than what
might bo expected under the circumstances.
I wonder it Mr. Cleveland believes that Gen
eral Harrison , when ho becomes president ,
would nominate the man who circulated the
Maria Hnlpin story , to a prominent olllco in
the city where Mr. Cleveland may live. "
Indiana democrats in Washington do not
spring to the front to assume the responsi
bility of the nomination. They say it was
made upon the recommendation of Senator
Turpic. Others in the state- delegation ex
press surprise at the nomination. District
Attorney Sellers will continue iu commission
until his successor is confirmed andqunlilied.

John Kcrr , J. T. Hatch , and u largo number
of other senators , on the unearned lands of
the Sioux City & St. Paul railroad company ,
in O'Brien county , Iowa , praying that the
senate make un investigation of the cause
why J. P. Murphy , United States attorney
for the northern district of that state , did
not bring suit against the state of Iowa and
the railroad company named , for the
return of the patents of the
unearned lands claimed by Dthat
corporation , in all about twenty-three thous
and acres. It is stated by the memorialists ,
that Attorney General Garland , last Febru
ary , instructed District Attorney Murphy to
bring suit nt Sioux City , at the term of the
court which convened on the 3d day of last
October. They state further that they now
are being prosecuted by that railroad com
pany in the supreme court of the state , on
appeal from the district court of O'Brien
county , and allege that if Murphy had
brought the suit , ns he was instructed , all
litigation in ttio state courts would have

"Every returned traveler says that , but I
mean it ; nnd what- particularly pleases mo
is that I came to Chicago and went homo
without a single policaman knowing I was

come mo on my arrival , but I outwitted
them. 1 got off at the first stop south of the

to wonder where in the world I had gone. "
Mrs. Parsons was otijicr favorite tack , nnd
it was a difllcult matter to turn her in an
other direction. Before she wns through
with lur condemnation of the police she
had said many uclyj things. When Hie ,

of other matters , she told ngnin what
she had been doing in England , and was en
thusiastic over the way jn which the anar
chists and socialists aroUllowed "tongue li
cense" in that nation. Mrs. Parsons is of
the opinion that it will take n terrible up
rising to fairly inaugurate the doctrine of
anarchy in America. "Over in England , "
said she , "tho rich are not like they are hcic.
The rich classes here are intoxicated with
their wealth. They are a lot of clodhoppers
who have not been out of the gutter more
than ten years , ahd they are the ones back

The widow denied that she was about to
wed the English socialist , Bernstein. She
never know him personally. She says that

Ofllcer Smith started out to borrow the

In the most disorderly scones ho could recol
lect occurring on the senate floor. Ho said
that n change was necessary In order that
the faith of tno republican party , pledged to
n consideration of the British extradition
treaty In open session , might bo Kept. At
the conclusion of his remarks Mr. Riddle-
berger nsked leave to withdraw the reso
lution , but objection was made by Mr. Har
ris , of Tennessee , who moved to lay it on the
tnble , and called for the yeas and nays , after
paying ii high tribute to Mr. Ingalls' im
partiality nnd ability , after which the sena
tor from Virginia wus permitted to with
draw his resolution.
The conference report on the bill ns to the
Chlppewa Indian reservation iu Minnesota
was explained and agreed to.
The senate then resumed consideration of
the tariff bill , ut paragraph 147 , referring to
tacirers' iron. This paragraph and the two
preceding ones on the same subject , were
passed over informally without action. The
next paragraph , 14S , was as to "spikes , nuts

House.
WAsniNOToy , Dec. 17 , In the house n
bill was passed for the incorporation of the
American _ hibtorical association. The com
mittee on ways and means reported back
the concurrent resolution providing for a
holiday recess from December 21 to , January
7. The committee propose an amendment
striking out Monday , January 7 , and insertIng -
Ing Friday , January 4.
Mr. Springer of Illinois was of the opinion
that , owing to the press of important legisla
tion before congress , the recess should bo ns
short as possible. This committee amend
ment wns rejected and the original resolution
was agreed to.
The committee on accounts reported n reso
lution appropriating SJOO.OOJ out of the con
tingent fund of the house to pay the expenses
of the Ford immigration committee.
Mr. Dunham of Illinois said the committee
had already expended $5,000. The matter
had the appearance to him of u junketing af
fair.
fair.Mr.
Mr. Ford of Michigan said that a man fa
miliar with the work of the committee would
not accuse it of any extravagant expendi
tures. The committee desired to conclude
its investigations and tnalto a report to con
gress immediately after the holiday recess.
Mr. Gucnthcr of Missouri remarked
that If the gentleman from Illinois
thought the committee was ft jun
keting committee ho ( Guentnor ) , ns a mem
ber of that committee , would resign in the
gentleman's favor.
Mr. ICerr of Iowa thought there was no
necessity for the committee to
proceed further with its investiga
tion. In a couple of months
there would bo an administration in har
mony with the laws on the statute book. The
olllcers appointed under that administration
would see that the laws were enforced , und
there would bo no necessity for congress to
institute nn investigation in order to make
those officers enforce the lows.
Mr. Cox of New York hoped the house
would give Iho committee the money asked
for. It ought to bo able to report n bill of
borne kind so that the laws might bo more
stringently enforced. -
After some further debate the resolution
was adopted.
The speaker proceeded to call the states
for the introduction of bills.
Mr. McRea , of Arkansas , introduced a bill
to settle outstanding accounts between thu
United States and Arkansas.
Mr. Hooker demanded its reading in full ,
the object being tj consume time nnd pre
vent the attempt to pass the Oklahoma bill
under suspension of the rules.
Mr. Springer made the point of order that
it was not "competent for a member to de
mand a reading , but the point was overruled
by the speaker.
The reading having been completed , Mr.
Barnes of Georgia ( another opponent of the
bill ) introduced a bill to establish n uniform
system of bankrupfcy , a measure 9 ! eighty
printed pages , and demanded its reading.
Mr. Springer declared that this was an
effort to prevent the house from considering
the Oklahoma bill.
The reading was interrupted by Mr. War
ner of Missouri , who stated that us it was
evident that the opponents of the Oklahoma
bill would not allow its consideration to-day ,
nnd in the Interest of other public business ,
ho wus willing to huvo the bill laid aside tem
porarily.
Mr. Barnes withdrew the bankruptcy bill ,
nnd the call of stutes was then continued , but
utter Mr , Perkins of Kansas hnd put in a bill
appropriating f.10,000 for a public building at
Arkansas City , Kun , , the call of roll was again
interrupted by Mr. Anderson , of Kansas ,
who , with a largo printed bill in his hand ,
said ho hud assurances from Mr. Outhwuito
of Ohio , chnirmun of the Pacific railroads
committee , that ho would not attempt to pass
the Union Puclflo funding bill under u sus
pension of the rules. IIo wished to call the
attention of Mr. Outhwaito und the house to
this fact.
Mr. Outhwnlto said ho hnd told the gen
tleman from Kansas that ho would , not
move the passage of the bill under suspen
sion , but ho hud tnado and intended to make
no agreement which would preclude him
from offering u resolution fixing u day lor
consideration of the bill. Owing to the
noise in the chamber , Mr. Anderson under
stood this to bo a promise that no such reso
lution would bo offered , and be took his scat
without introducing the measure he held In
his hand.
The speaker had reeognlml Mr. Brcokoti-
ridgaof Kentucky to introduce it bill appro
priating fDOUJ ! for thu establishment of a
zoological garden in the District of Colum
bia , when Mr. Anderson became aware of
his error , Ho thereupon usked unanimous
consent to Introduce the bill before him , < liin
purpose being lo kill time by demanding Us
reading , but Mr. Outhwalto objected ,
Thu call wus then continued niuV several
bills wuro introduced ,
Then Mr , Splnola , of New York , arose and

snld ho held In his hand n bill which ho would
Introduce by request , disclnlmlngnny respon
sibility for n single Horn in it IIo sent to
the clerk's dc k n copy of the senate tariff
bill and demanded a reading.
Mr. Outhwnlto In other words the gentle
man has joined the filibusters.-
Mr. Splnola It means that wo will not
have the Nicaragua bill to-day.
Mr. Dunham , of Illinois , moved to adjourn.
LoA , Yeas -14 , nays 127.
Mr. Splnola then withdraw the bill and the
call continued , several measures being intro
duced.
Mr. Morrow of California moved to sus

OPl'OSKI ) TO ADMISSION.
An Address to thu Country l y the
liitieral Leagueof Utah.
S\I.T LAKH , Utah , Deo. 17. The Liberal
committee issued to-day the following address
to the country :
The liberal territorial committee , repre
senting republicans and democrats alike , de
sires to call the attention of the country to
the fact that the gentiles of Ut.ih unan
imously oppose the Mormon statehood
scheme recently endorsed by the democratic
COIIRI esslonal caucus. Wo nro con fronted by
n condition , not n theory. Polygamy is not
dead. The law is not supreme. Two
hundred and thirty-four indictments
were found nt the present term ol court at
Provo , for violations of United States
statutes designed to suppress polygamy and
polygamous living. To give Utah statehood
would retard progress , depreciate value , pcr-
petuato polygamy nnd hand the territory
over to the Mormon priesthood. We call
upon patriotic citizens everywheio to unite
in strong protests to congress ngnitibt the
proposed action. The admission of Utah to
statehood would bo a crime against American
itibtitutions. O. W. I'owmiM ,
Chairman.

nnd an investigation of his books has been In

To Prevent Jlnto Cuttiii ? .
WASHINGTON , Dec. 17. Judge Cooley ,
chairman of the inter-state commerce com
mission , has returned from investigating the
rate cutting wars of the northwestern roads.
He says the comuiissioii will consider the ex
pediency of recommending amendments
which will make it illegal to pay commis
sions for the s.ilo of tickets , and require rail
roads to redeem unused portions of tickets
lor the amount received from them. As long
as companies are allowed to pay coinmis
sions , so long , says the judge , will rates bo
cut. Commissioner Morrison thinks thut
congress will have to bo called upon to de
fine excursion tickets as used in the net , as
much of the rate cutting is done ou that
class of tickets.
