the benefit of public schools was taken from
the calendar and passed ,

cultural appropriation bill.

Mr. Vance Hpoko In opposition to It.
The bill then passed without division.

" \\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.

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

twal from the decision of the United States
bonrd of canvassers to the circuit court the

A Wealthy Parent Sues His OlTWpriiiR
for n 15aiitelle.
Cmc.ino , July 1. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : DER. ] There is a serious misunder
standing between George U. DCS Rivieres , n
wealthy citizen living at No. iJ.T.23 Wabash
avenue , and his son Francis , u young man
about twenty-two years of age. 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. "

WASHINGTON , D. 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.

Tlio retirement of Brigadier General llobort

Colonel John P. Hawkins ara said to have

-MISCELLANKOUS.
Senator Morgan introduced a bill today to
prevent Mormons from entering publlo lands
in Wyoming. Ho stated that the disfran-

Tammany Presents a
v Memorial Wreath.
, Ind. , July 1 , TLO day for the
unveiling of the 1 lend rick monument dawned
clear and hot , nnd early trains began pouring
crowds into tbo city. Governor Campbell of
OhloGovcrnor _ Hill of Now York and Gov-
cruor'Francls of Missouri , with their stalls ,
are present , and about every military and
civil organization in Indiana ilnd many from
Ohio , Illinois , Kentucky and Missouri are
represented.
The parade formed promptly nt 1 o'clock , ,
being composed of the governors of the states
mentioned and their stuffs , with civil and
military organizations.
At 2 o'clock Governor Hovey called the
vast assemblage that had gathered around
the monument to order and the exercises of
the unveiling were begun.
The monument Is the work of Ulehard II.
Parks , the celebrated sculptor of Florence ,
Italy , and stands on the southwest corner of
the capital grounds.
At the monument an amphitheater had
been erected for the distinguished guests and
the chorus of 1,000 school children. 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
