WASUISUTOX D. C. , August IS. )
Scnntor Quay's nmendod resolution , llxlng
tin order of business for the riMii.ihulcr of the
present session of thosonato , went over under
the rules till Wednesday tition the reipiost of
Senator Hoar , who upon tomorrow di'sires to
deliver n speech upon the subject. When It
comes up on Wednesday It is fxpeeted that a
lively skirmish will be in. The adding of
the anti-lottery bill to the list of measures
which Senator Quay proposes 1o discuss dur
ing the remainder of thu session has not
Iveii the proposition any strength , an the
adoption of the lottery hill by the sennto
his : hecti conceded as a matter of
course. But It must bo confessed that Sena
tor Quay's proposition to limit the remainder
of the session to certain measures , not includ
ing the election bill , has grown In popularity.
IWloen or twenty republican senators uro
very much determined that the election bill
shall bo passed heforo adjournment , und it la
b.irely possible , although not probable , th.it
the four or llvo resolution } looking toward a
curtailment ot the debate nml liinithn , ' the
length of the session will De staved oiT by
sonio movement. Yet If it is true , us stated
upon the authority of n number of
veil Informed republican senators , that
there nro as many us llftcen
ou the cast side of the chamber who will join
the solid democratic side in. the cll'ort of Mr.
Quay to limit tlio consideration of measures ,
the struggle \Vedncsday will bo n success
in a "greater or less degree to the efforts of
the Pennsylvania ! ! . The Impression prevails
that tlio Quay resolution will ho adopted in
sonio form.
Mr. IiiRalls , who presides over the sennto
in the absence of the vice president , said this
afternoon that lie hoped a verbal agreement
could bo made between the republicans
whereby tire measures named by Senator
Quay could bo disposed of without resorting -
ing to the adoption of a resolution
or caucus action , but Senator Quay said later
in the day that ho did not see how It was pos
sible , as fully a suulcicnt number of senators
were tired of tbo session and so eager to pot
away as to give any reasonable proposition
u majority without the nssUtanro of the Ui'iri-
ocratio side. Senator Quay contends that
there la tie political question involved in the
consideration of his resolutions ; that it is
purely a m.ittor of business for the cottnti-y
ami convenience for Individual senators. IIo
says thnt if a programme is not agreed upon
the democrats will string out the
debate on the tariff bill and con
sume the remainder of the session
in the consideration of measures which ho
names in his resolution before the election
hill is reached and without consideration
whatever of the latter bill. A most deter
mined fight will bo made hv the friends of the
elections bill for its consideration before ! ad
journment , but it looks now as if it would go
over till next session. If the Quay resolution
is adopted It is believed adjournment will be
had during the last ten days of September.
MnjorMcKInloy , however , docs not belluvo
that congress can adjourn before October 1 ,
oven If the Qua\ resolution Is adopted in the
senate on Wednesday. With the tariff bill
ho thinks there will bo a conference of at
least two weeks.
There is n decided Impatience in the house
which may compel nn earlier adjournment.
Nothing can bo more absurd than the tnllt
about hanging up the tariff bill by the house
republicans In ruvcngo for the hanging up of
the election bill by the senate. It is true thu !
ninny members , particularly the western und
southern men , are very sere over the fate of
the bill. Ono of them , a southern member ,
who lias ndvocatcit the bill with deep inter
est , said today : "Wo do feel very bitter
against Air. Aldrich nnd Mr , Quay. They
have practically told us to look out for our
selves In thu matter of elections the best way
we can. Now , suppose wo turn around and
tell the iron manufacturers of Pennsylvania
to look out for themselves the best way they
can. "
Nevertheless , desplto this bitterness , the
tnrilf hill will bu passed as it comes out of
conference. Thcro uro many members who
see no I'cason why it should bo la conference
two weeks , us Mr. McKlnlcy thinks neces
sary.

in the history of the land ollico. Less thnn a
year ago , when bo took charge of thoollice ,
ho was confronted with tbo enormous sur
plus of 205.01)0 ) case ? , which were enacted up
on and which were the bequest of previous
administrations. On last Saturday ho was
nblo to report to the secretary of the interior
that the number of cases which have not
been , acted upon has been reduced to
tbo number of 103,000 , While ull
of this work has been going
on ho has been nblo to Iteop up with current
business , Only 18.,000 , cases , a little more
than one-hnlf of nil those upon the Hies when
Commissioner Giroll took charge of the ofllcc ,
remain uuncted upon. Commissioner G roll'
said today that ho hoped within n year to
have cleaned up all the hack work of the land
ofllco and bo nblo from that tlmo forward to
devote himself to the business as It comes up

The House Democrat io Minority Sab-

WASIIIXOTOX , August 1 , Keprejentativo
Mnrsh today presented to the house the re
port of the democratic minority of the com
mittee on elections in the rase of Clayton vn
Hroek-lnrldgc , second Arkansas district.
The report says that \vlth \ one exception the
district lias always gene democratic nnd the
presumption .should ho In favor of the dem
ocrat against the republican contestant. The
theft of a ballot box In the c.ise Is admitted ,
but it is hold thnt it did not change the re-
nult of the election , as tbo democrats carried
the district by a majority of H ! ) , even allow
ing the republicans the disputed votes in
every townshlii. The report com
ments on the instruction of the house to
make a full and thnrouuh Investigation of this
exceptional case , calls attention to tha grout
number of chiiiyes and counter-charges and
issues Involved , ami RIIVS that the committee
spent but twelve days in taking evidence.
Kays the report : "The bouse tiniv jmUro
this , and it will Iw called upon to Judge from
the proceedings , still more uuu.siml and sliuck-
ing.Iiow disgracefully nml criminally thisraho
has been handled. I'urty prejudice , malice
'
nr.d a purpose to ucconiplU'h an Improper end
seem to have deadened every sensibility In
"
tbo gentlemen from whom tbo" house and the
country hail a right to expert better things.
Sonio base nnd ingenious mind seems to have
gnideil , and it is far short of tin- truth to say
that this Investigation hm been a miserable
farce and the majority report is un
founded In truth , not'juslllicd by the
evidence und is defaced by a repetition of
partisan slanders und not sustained by
any testimony. " In conclusion the r port
sa.vsVlien . : thoio entrusted with oillcial
power so forgot right , justice and duty 111 to
act aa tlio majority of this roininlttee bus
done it brings distrust and odium upon the
party and upon the house , and their actions
and conclusions should bo rejected and re-
buki'd. Never IMS n great question been so
wrelrlinlly , so lei'blv , so unjnstlv and so
scandalously treated and adjudicated. Hut
passion under injury ami wrong is not a
proper mode of redress , und if the bouse puts
the seal of Us approval upon the report and
recommendations of the committee , then wo
appeal to the people to rebuke tiuil right it by
their votes.1

] > rln Heroic Measures.
CHICAGO , August IS. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : UEI : . I It is among the probabilities Hint
the great packing houses of Chicago may
have to close for want of water. Mayor
Crcgler has decided on heroic measures with
regard to the packinghouses in the town of
Jjake , which nro directly responsible for tbo
scarcity of water in that locality. Today
Commissioner of Public Works 1'urdy ad
dressed a letter to P. D. Armour & Co. warn
ing them that unless some arrangement can
bo effected by which the public health will
not bo sacrificed for the benellt of the pack
ing houses , the water supply of
tha Utter will bo cut off. The letter
goes on to say that the lamentable scarcity of
water In certain portions of the town , which
is causing diphtheria and other infectious
diseases , was duo to the fact that the pucldng
houses had decreased the town's water sup
ply by pumping water from the city mains
directly to these places. This piactlee ,
Commissioner 1'urdy informed Mr. Armour ,
was In violation of the city ordinances.
The packers arc further notllled that unless
they can show proper authorization for their
practice of pumping water from the city
mains , measures will bo taken at once to stop
It und the packing houses' ' connections with
the water pipes will bo removed by city ofll-
cluls. The letter to Mr. Armour is intended
ns a test for nil similar cases at the stock
yards. A few dnys ag > they refused a prop
osition to only pump water ut certain inter
vals und the city has now dotJiminod to shut
them off entirely if necessary. The packers
will probably apply for an injunction.
