THE IDAHO BILL PASSED , Without Division the Senate Votes to Admit That Territory , THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL , Ilcculvcil from the HOIINO Announcing Itn Intention to Adhere to the DlHiigreeinenC Other Doings. WASHINGTON , July 1. In the senate today the senate bill to authorize the leasing of school lands In the territory of Oklahoma for the benefit of public schools was taken from the calendar and passed , Mr. Morgan Introduced a bill providing that no pci-son shall enter any public lands in Wy oming under the homestead or other laws who Is a bigamist or polygamlst , or who teaches , counsels , aids or encourages others to enter Into bigamy or polygamy , or who is n member of any association that teaches polygamy. Referred to the commltteo on pub lic lands. The conference commltteo on the legislative appropriation bill reported that It was unable to agree on the pay of senators' clerks nnd committee clerks , and new conferees , wore ap pointed. The conference report on the District of Columbia bill was disagreed to and a now conference ordered. A conference was also ordered on the agri cultural appropriation bill. The Idaho admission bill was resumed and Mr. Vance Hpoko In opposition to It. The bill then passed without division. A message from the house , announcing that it bad resolved to adhere to its disagreements to the legislative appropriation bill was pre sented by Mr. Dawes of the conference com- mitte , who stated that the house declined to confer further. After a long discussion the senate refused to recede from its amendments by a vote of 24 10 19. The result of this Is that unless cither sen ate or house backs down the legislative ap propriation bill falls nnd a new bill will have to bo reported and go through the house. A motion to reconsider the vote of the sen ate , lowover , was made by Mr. Hiscock nnd entered. Mr. Hcagan addressed the senate lu favor of the bill introduced by him to prevent the transportation of merchandise In bond through ports nnd territory of the United States Into Mexico and to restore that privil- cpo whenever the free zone between the two countries is abolished. At the close of the speech the senate went lute executive session and soon adjourned. IIOIIHC. " \\A9iiiNOTON , July 1. The house resumed the consideration of the federal election bill , the pending amendment being that ollcrcd by Mr. Lehlbaeh of New Jersey , providing that the chief supervisor of election for each judicial district of the United States shall take such1 action as is ren.ul.ilto to secure such supervision In every congressional district as provided by the laws of the United States. Mr. Holman of Indiana contended there was no occasion for the enactment of the pro posed law. Every member who bud spoken bad repudiated the bill ns far as his Individ ual district was concerned. Miv Taylor of Illinois said ho wanted the _ law . Inhis . district. " . . _ . * * if" ? n.rn. t * L members who made tha admission. | Mr. Taylor said ho supported the bill be cause ho wanted it In Ins district. Ho sup ported it because ho wanted it for the city ho in TiMrt. vi m * * spMf nil Plifrncn illil npnil snrnn law of this kind. Thcro never had been nn election held in Chicago where there had not been illegal voting and cheating at the polls. While this law was needed in Chicago , ho did not believe that It was needed in any other district in the state of Illinois. Mr. Springer of Illinois contended that the Chicago election law had worked to the satis faction of the people of that city without re gard to party. Ho controverted the assertion made by Mr. Houk of Tennessee that in re ' porting'tho contested election case of Dean vs Fields in the Forty-fifth congress ho ( Springer ) had taken the very position occu pied by tills bill. Mr. Hill of Illinois opposed the amendment and satirically twitted the democrats for de nouncing the bill mid then rushing pell mcll In support of the proposition which made the provisions of the measure compulsory instead of voluntary. Mr. Stone of Missouri made a constitu tional argument against the bill. Finally , on a rising vote , Mr. Lehlbach's amendment was rejected. Tellers were de manded and the amendment was lost liS ! to Mr. Hemphlll of South Carolina offered an amendment eliminating from the bill the pro visions for United States boards of can vassers'and providing that from the returns of supervisors the chief supervisor shall tabulate and forward to tlio speaker of the house , to bo submitted by him to the house , the results as they appear therefrom In each congressional district under his jurisdiction In which this law Is to bo In force. Mr. Bucknlew of Pennsylvania favored the amendment. Mr. Rowell of Illinois opposed the amend ment and advocated the bill. Mr. Mills of Texas pointed out the dangers which might arise from the application of the law. Suppose the house was democratic by twenty-five majority and was so shown by the certificates of the various irovcrnors. Suppose the supervisors certified twenty-live majority the other way , and the clerk of the house acted upon this certificate , what would be the result ! The gentlemen ought not to forget that this was an Anglo-Saxon race. That race had always been jealous of Its- rights and bold to assert them , and never counted the cost of doing so. Mr. Carutti of Kentucky asked what had the republican party done for the negroes I At tbo close of the war they were shelter less , mid It gave them no shelter ; they wore hungry , unit It fed them not , they were naked , mid It clothed them not. When they attempted to save money for a rainy day the republican party , with the organized Freedmeu's bank , btolo the llrst fruits of their labor. Mr. Dolllvcr of Iowa rejoiced that behind " the speaker of the house was the republican party of the house and behind the republican purtv of the house were millions of American people that believed in the government. He believed the time had come when the repub lican party must discharge not only Its prom ises but its duty to the American people and . trusted the republican party would stand as eno 111:111 : for the sanctity of American cltlicn- shlp.l Mr. Mason of Illinois said the republican party had been charged with neglecting the negro. It was guilty. It hud given them feet to walk with and no board or plank on Which to walk. Ho declared , notwithstand ing the protest of Mr. Oates , that ballot box after ballot box had been stolen in the south nnd never returned , The south counted the negro when the census was taken. The south counted him as n Voter and the republicans proiwscd now to do him justice and let him vote. vote.Mr , Wilson of West Virginia said there never had been and never could bo any bill which would strike a moro dangerous blow at the very el'imouts and foundations ot free government. The gentlemen dared not strluo ut the freedom of the press , but they did at tempt to strike down the freedom of repre sentation In the house. ' Mr. Butterworth presented the conference report on the legislative appropriation bill mid. tlio house voted to adhere to Its non-con- currcnco in the senate amendments regard ing senators' clerks , etc. Mr. Lodge offered an amendment to the election bill providing that aas soon as the cortlllcnto of the board was made publlo any jxirson wlo was a uiudlduto for election may by motion bc'o o tin United States circuit court lm\in. ' } rlidivtion in the dUtrlrt , con test the correctness of thocortillcnto mudo by the lionrd and demand an examination and Compilation of the returns. The returning Ulcers shall produce before the circuit court I all the returns , reports , tlckoLi nnd all evi dence on which it acted In advance in award ing the certlllcatcs. The circuit court shall thereupon determine and certify the person shown entitled to the certificate ; also nn amendment providing that If there bo an np- twal from the decision of the United States bonrd of canvassers to the circuit court the clerk of the house shall placeon the rolls as representative-elect the name of the person certified by said court as entitled to the seat. The amendments were agreed to. Mr. Ilemplilll's amendment was then lost yean , 13" ; nays. 111. Messrs , Lchlback Of Now Jersey and Chea- die of Indiana , republicans , voted with the democrats. Mr. BucKalcw of Pennsylvania moved to strike out section I3 , which changes tha law no us to place the selection of jurors In the hands of the clerks of courts. Adopted yeas , MO ; imy.i , 1SJ1.

The court shall fix a day for consideration of the matters set forth in the application , giving nt least ten days' notice. If on n hearing the court shall bo of the opinion that n fair and free registration will not bo held nnd that there Is necessity for federal supervision the court shall grant the application. In passing upon the application the judge of the circuit court shall associate with him a Judge of the district court , nnd unless both judges concur In granting the application it shall bo dis missed and no further proceedings bo taken.

[ Special Telegram to Tin : DER. ] There is a serious misunder standing between George U.

Several years ago , when Francis left school in ac cordance with his father's earnest desire , ho entered n college of law and began to acquire legal knowledge. Francis made rapid progress , and Is pro nounced by his classmates to bo ono of the brightest youths lu the Institution. His father was delighted nt his son's suc cess nnd did not stint his allowance. Ho also provided him with plenty of law books. Francis graduated with high honors , but on leaving the college ho en gaged in tbo insurance business and Is now the assistant superintendent of an insurance company. His father was much provoked at his son's dereliction and besought him to make use of bis knowledge of law , but it was of no avail. Today Dos Rivieres , sr. , brought suit against his son to recover J-00 , the value of the law books ho had provided. The case was sot for July 11. Young Dps Rivieres was on hand today and says ho will light the matter to the bitter end. "The reason I did not begin to practice law is this , " ho saiJ , " < vhcn I left college I hud f.'i as a starter. I apocaled to father for $100 with which t'j open an oftlco and get fairly launched , and ho refused to ac commodate mo , telling mo to go and earn my own money. " 'All right , ' I said , nnd I went into the in surance business. I am glad I did , for I like It better than the law. My father brought this suit out ot spite , and I mcau to stick it out.

C. , July 1.1 A caucus of the republican senators will shortly bo held to determine what is to bo dene with the , federal election bill after it goes over from the house. It Is very likely that the suggestion made by a number of re publican senators to let the bill remain before the commltteo on privileges and elections until the next session will not prevail. Whllo there are some conservative republicans who Dollovo It will bo better lu the long run not to attempt for two or three reasons to dispose of the measure at this session , others argue that it would bo a show of weakness ou the part of the republicans , who have a clear working majorlt3' , to take up tbo meas ure simply because a number of democrats threaten to talk it to death. GeiiM-al Mandcrson of Nebraska Is usually considered one of tbo republicans who knows what h going on in the senate and who occu pies a conservative position before that body , lie said this afternoon of the outlook for the elections bill : "If the republicans in the senate conclude to let the measure go over until the next session It would be a frank acknowledgement that they fear the work of the democrats. It would bo an announcement to the country that a largo and vigorous ma jority fear a fair and open contest with the minority. I think we shall take the bill , de spite the threats of the democrats to talk all summer , and consider it in good faith and with a determination to get a vote upon it at the earliest possible day. I have no doubt that the democrats will talk upon the bill In definitely with the determination to defeat its operations at least until after the forthcoming elections. Thcro are a number of republican senators who opooso the measure on general principles and others who take exceptions to its details. It is a question of policy which should bo well considered is tbo way I look at it. This may not bo the time for the federal government to interpose its control over local elections , even though congressmen are involved in the result. The federal gov ernment already lias a general supervision over congressional elections , and the question is wncther congress 1ms not already gone as far as it should go. This same general ques tion of policy arose when we were confronted witli the condition of negro slavery. There is no doubt that , having given the negro the right of suffrage , we should protect him in the exercise of it and wo should not lliuch in protecting the fran chise In all sections of the country oven though it should involve us In the most serious dittlculties. However , this is moral izing , and no fair minded or honest citizen will attempt to gainsay the fact that tbo bal lot should bo protected everywhere. No , I donotbcllovo the senate will adopt any rule putting tlio bridle on debate , oven to meet , , the emergency. WD should Jiayoone.-place , ' * * " ' ' " " * " 'ntlefist"whcre'debate'"is"frco aiid full. "As Senator Edmunds said the other day , if tbo minority wants to enter upon a game of physi cal endurance the majority can stay just as long as the minority and moot the climax bravely. I am in favor of taking up the bill after the tariff and silver are out of tbo way and proceeding with its consider ations as cxpcditijusly as possible. If it Is necessary to stay hero in constant session until after the elections in order to reach u linal vote upon the elections bill , very well. The majority can surely stand it if the minority can , This is a question of general principle , mid I do not think any republican senator will vote against the bill simply be cause it does not meet his views as to detail. " As anticipated , the contest in the house over the elections bill is very close , but the linal result is not feared by the republicans. Thcro was one test vote taken today which resulted in liij ayes to 11S ! nays , a majority of only 0. It was stated that Just outside the capital building at a neighboring bar were eight democrats at the time the vote was taken , and none of them were paired. Had they been present the opposition would of course succeeded , and an amendment of fered by Mr. Hemphill of South Carolina lina would have been adopted and the bill practically ruined. It is now pretty clear that not more than three of the republi cans will vote against the bill on its liunl passage. They are Messrs. Coleman of Louisiana , Ewnrt of North Carolina and Lohlbach of New Jersey. The latter says ho objects to the bill because it is so stringent In the matter of citizenship , and he has a number of foreign-born constituents who have asked him to oppose tbo measure. The other two republicans against the bill say they are acting in the interest of the south in their opposition and that the measure Is sec tional. During the debate every day the long tier of galleries on the north side of the house is filled with colored men , who hliow great interest In the future of tlio bill and drink in eagerly every word. Thcro may bo a number of additional amendments of fered and the ilnnl vote may not bo reached until late tomorrow afternoon , but tboro is no doubt at this time In the mind of Speaker Heed that the bill will bo adopted in the house and before the adjournment tomorrow.

IDAHO AND WVOMINO. This afternoon the senate passed the Idaho statehood bill without division. 'There- were no amendments made to the measure and It will go to the president in the exact form In which It passed the house some days since. It was believed for a while that the clause disfranchising Mormons would bo modified , but the opponents throw down their hands before they had proceeded two days in the debate nnd let It go through without contest. The bill giving statehood to Wyoming was amended In the senate and sent back to the hoiibo. The measure ns it passed the house loft some doubt as to whether the federal' government had absolute control of Yellow stone park , and the senate so amended it as to give the federal government complete con trol beyond any question of doubt. The house will undoubtedly accept the senate amend ment , but It may not do so In time to admit of Wvomlng becoming n stuto upon the same day that Idaho Is admitted. Delegate Carey is working llko a Trojan to have the house consider the senate amendment to morrow , when the Idaho bill is to bo' laid before the president. It Is hoped that both Wvomlng and Idaho may become states on the Fourth of July , when the event Is to bo celebrated In these states In true Rocky mountain style. Delegates Dubols of Idaho nnd Carey of Wyoming have telegraphed their constituents that the president will either sign the two bills before ho leaves for C.ipe Mav on Thursday or take them with , him and sign them en the Fourth of July a.d that the pcoplo of the states of Ululio out ] . Wyoming may get thclf.canon and anvils out on the hill tops , pile high the cedar nnd pine branches from the canyon * nnd prepare for u noise and bonfire on the day nnd night of the Fourth of July such an etbuslastlo style ns to awaken the cntlro country , nnd preparations out there are going forward for a great cele bration. bration.WHO WHO WIIA 1115 Jl'FF.l5tT'S SCCCESSOIll Tlio retirement of Brigadier General llobort McFeely , for moro than fifteen years com missary general of subsistence , will give President Harrison the opportunity of ap pointing another brigadier general.

Up to within a few weeks Col onel Bcekman Dubarry hiis bcox conceded to lead the applicants for promotion to fill the vacancy caused by General McFccly's retire ment. The action of the president In promoting meting Colonel Batcheldor makes any predic tion us to McFccly's' .successor extremely doubtful. Colonel Dubarry and Lieutenant Colonel John P.

Tlio ex ercises were opened with a patriotic song by this chorus. .i Governor Hovcy then made a brief speech of welcome , Judge Hand , president of the Hendricks Monument association , briefly re viewed the history of the monument and Hov. Dean Jenckcs of St. Paul's Episcopal church Invoked the divine blessing. General Sickles of , New York was then led forward , nnd on behalf of tlio Tammany so ciety presented to Mrs. Hendrieks n hand some memorial wreath , accompanying the presentation with a brief speech eulogistic of the dead statesman. Mrs. Hendricks , who was attired In deep black with a long mourning veil , stepped for ward , and , with a deep bow nnd a few words which were drowned in thonoisoof thecrowd endeavoring to catch u glimpse/of the honored woman , accepted the memorial. Judge Rand then took Mrs. Hcndrick's arm and escorted her to the base of tlio monument ment , where she drew the veil of national colors from the bronze figure of her husband amid the shouts of the vast throng and the booming of cannon. An ode by James Whiteomb Hiloy was rend and Senator Turpio delivered the oration of the day , r The speaker gave a running review of Ilcndricks' life and concerning his position during the civil war referred to a letter Ilcndricks wrote to some of his constituents In the llrst month of the war , in which he snidlnpbrt : "Ho regarded it the duty of citizens of Indiana to respect nnd maintain the authority of the general government and give honest and earnest support to the prosecution of tbo war until in the providedence of God it may bo brought to nn honorable conclusion nnd the blessings of peace bo restored to the country , postponing until that time nil con troversy relating to the causes and responsi bilities therefor. " "Of the same tenor , " added Turpio , "were his numerous addresses to the people in the political campaignof. ISO'which .immedi ately p'rcceded "his'"election to "the senate ; * During his term ns senator bo constantly acted and voted in aid of the government in every measure looking to the suppression of armed insurrection , always reserving the right to freely discuss the civil policy of the administration. " ' Speaking of the reconstruction period Tur pie said Mr. Hendricks took his position In these words : "I desire this to bo a union In form under the constitution and In fact by the harmony of the pcoplo of the north and south. I deny that at the close of the war there were no state governments in the southern statess. Tlio constitution of a state once admitted becomes part of the national compact. I deny that thn pcoplo of that state have n right to destroy its government and thus cease to bo within the union , I deny that a convention , legislature , or any other assembly whatever , can voluntarily terminate the ex istence of their state government anil thus cut off their connection with the federal union. This doctrine , " said Turpio , from the verv day nnd hour of Its ut terance was rejected with every epithet of reproach and cont.imclv. It was botiirn , sub merged by large majorities in both houses of congress , and decried as an uncsnditi mill surrender to the enemy. Ilcndricks lived to see these principles , ouco so much denounced , universally approved ; to sco this policy of reconstruction adopted as the basis of all legislation upon the subject ; ultimately to behold these tenets sactioneu anil declared to bo law ot llio land by Its highest tribunal tbo supreme court of the United States. If Webster bo styled the expounder of the constitution the old constitution with its half truths and compro mises upjn a subject noted , but unnnmo.l therein Hendrieks may bo as justly called the expounder of the new. If ono Is known as the constructlonlst the other will bo known as the reconstructionlst of his ago as a true Interpreter of the constitution re vised nnd amended , and of tno nature and character of the union thus reformed and ro-cstabllshed. Amid the clangor of arms , shouting and thunders of embattled hosts died he nro-omi- scarcely away , was - - nently the slvlllau and publicist of that mo mentous and perplexing period. At the conclusion of the address brief ro- murks were made by Governors Hill , Francis and Campbell , and after the benediction by Bishop ( Jlmtnrd the assembly dispersed. Letters of regret were received from Presi dent Harrison , who said that publio duties would prevent his attend , nice , from General Sherman , who said his previous arrange ments for July would preclude his attend ance , nnd from ex-President Cleveland who said In part : "It Is useless , I hops , to assure you of the satisfaction it would afford mo to testify my respects nnd appreci ation for your distinguished fellow towns man by joining these who will gather to honor his memory on the occasion you con template. His eminent public service and his faithful discharge of many and important oHlchil duties render the commoimnoraUon of his public and private virtues mnsUlttlngand proper.
