Vice President Morton laid before the senate -
ate tbo following communication Just received
by him :
SuriiRMi : COUIIT OP THIS UNITUD STATES ,
WASIIINOTON , D. .C. , Jan. 24 , IS'.M. The Vlco
President ; It becomes my painful duty to
inform the vice president and the senate of
the death of Mr. Justice Lamar , which oc
curred ntH:50 : o'clock last night at Macon ,
Ga. MELVILLE W. FUM.KII ,
Chief Justice of the United States.
Mr. Walthall of Mississippi arose and said :
"Mr. President : The death of the great
man just announced Is In every sense a pub
lic calamity , a calamity It will bo
agreed by nil men , of all shades of opinion
throughout the country , which ho served so
well. Mr President , It Is in Mississippi that
the afllictlon will bo most keenly and se
verely felt. IIo was the pride of that state ,
to whoso name ho brought so much of credit
during his long career of usefulness and
honor In publlu positions of the greatest ro-
niionslbllity and trust. Ho was the
idol of the people of his stato.
They admired him for his many
gifts and for his conceded power. They wore
grateful to him for services which they bc-
liovo , and I believe , no other man could have
rendered as ho did and when ho did. They
loved him and trusted him for that high
sense of honor , that sublime courage , that
fidelity which signalized his private and his
publle life. On this occasion , Mr. President ,
1 may not speak at length of his public
r services , but I may bo permitted on behalf of
Mississippi and of all her people to thank
. . the senate In advance for the action which
I know Is scxin to bo taken by adjourning In
respect to his memory. "
' Mr. Cordon' * Tribute.
Mr. Gordon , democrat , from Georgia sala :
"Mr. President : This Is not the occasion
for any extended remarks In reference to
r the distinguished dead ; but I do feel Im
pelled to say that Georgia sympathizes , and
especially with her sister state , in the deep
uciise of the loss which they have sustained.
Judge Latnar's life began In Georgia , and
his distinguished ancestry make a part of
her history Around his name in early man
hood were clustered the IIOIHJS of her people.
They have naturally followed his career
with the deep interest which would attach
to a career so illustrious , so bril
liant , HO exceptionally beneficial to
Ills country As another weeps , so
Georgia weeps at the death of this great
man. It was my fortune to know him nnd to
love htm. It was the fortune of Georgia to
have given to this union the man who lias
Just passed away , with an Immortal glory
around his name , and with the blessings of
nil his countrymen , from every bcutkm , for
ever to follow him. "
Mr. Wilson , republican , Iowa , said : "Mr.
President' In view of the announcement
just made to the senate and out of proper re
spect to the memory ot the deceased , Judge
l imar , I move that the senate adjourn. "
The motion was agreed to and the senate
adjourned.
KITNDAV O
How ( lie Mmnbnr * of the World' * I'ulr Com-
pilttru of the Homo I'cel on tlioSuhJcrt.
WASHINGTON- . C. , Jan. SI. The house
committee on World's Columbian exK > sItlon
wrestled for two hours this morning with
the Sunday opening Proposition , anj when
It adjourned to attend the mooting of the
house , neither the Sunday opening nor the
Sunday closing had secured a decided advan
tage. The result of the meeting , however ,
was not satisfactory to Chairman Durbur-
row , nor was it very promising of his suc
cess In his efforts to4inro congress rescind
its action closing the gates on Sunday. The
dlsiwsltlou of the inombora of the committee
ppurently was to leave the subject nlotie
nnd not to stir up further Agitation of re
ligious bodic * by bringing In any recommen
dation to congress. The adjournment of the
comn.ltto for ono wcok at this st.iffO of the
session , when It wns over the protest of
Chairman Durburrow. who wanted to hold
ntiutltcr session tomorrow , wu Indicative of
this feeling en the purt of members of the
committee.
Hepivscntatlvo Honk of Ohio favored n
partial Sunday opening Ills Idea , In n gen
eral way , win that the gates should bo
o | > cncd on Sunday afternoon , but the publle
should bo admitted only to the nrt galleries
nnd to the other kindred exhibits , He was
ulna in favor of the proposed religious hall ,
In which all denominations should hold de
votional exercises. There was more support
to this view of n modified Sunday opening
than to the kind of opening proposed by the
fair managers. Mr. Houk'splan also Involved
sacred music and n strict requirement thnt
employed should not work move than six
days In the week. Much of the time he oc
cupied during thu session ua.i taken up In
reading a long letter addressed to President
Hlgglnliothaiu. This letter was largely In
the nature of suggestions , and asked
whether or not , in view of the op
position shown by religious organizations ,
It inizht not be that the receipts would be
diminished by u continued agitation of the
Sunday opening question , and if it might
not bo well to withdraw the opposition.
There are cloven members of the committee ,
nnd It was made evident that the vote would
bo close enough to require a full attendance
to show a majority.
Seven members were present today. Pour
of them , Messrs. HUoy , Dingley , Dolllvcr.
and Hobblnsof Pennsylvania , are opjiosed to
Sunday opening and to further action by
congress. Messrs. Durlmrow , Houk and
Lagan are In favor of Sunday opening In
some form , at least. Of the absentees , Mr.
McCreary Is understood to bo against Sun
day opening , and Mr. Little Is In favor of it ,
leaving Messrs. Wheeler and Cogswell on
tin ; doubtful list , but probably Inclined
toward opening in some shape If tlioro were
good chances to te 'uro favorable- congres
sional action.
Mr. Lagan , while in favor of Sunday open
ing , had something to say , however , alwut
tliu sale of whisky on the grounds and spoke
strongly against It. Chairman Uurburow
endeavored to get a vote on the matter , but
the majority was against him and did not
want one. Ho then suggested a session to
morrow , but it immediately became evident
that most of the members did not want to
act while the agitation was still going on ,
and adjournment for a wcclc was carried
without a negative vote , save that of the
chairman. It Is possible , but hardly more
than possible , that at a late day there may
be got out of the committee , by a bare ma
jority , a proposition favorable to partial
opening.
ADMISSION 01' THItltlTOIlIKH.
KrpuliIIciin Senator * In Caucus Vote for
I'ikvbrablo Action.
WASHINGTON , D. C. . Jan. 21. The repub
lican senatorial caucus this afternoon de
cided by a majority vote to take favorable
action upon the admission of the territories
of Oklahoma , Utah and New Mexico , but
loft Ari/ona out in the cold. This result
was not attained until after a prolonged dis
cussion. A great deal of opposition was
manifested on the part of some of the east
ern senators , who pointed to what they
called manifest evidence of inability of these
territories to take up the cares ami burdens
of statehood.
Objection was made to the admission of
Now Mexico on account of its great pro-
iwndcranco of citizens who could not speaker
or write the English language ; to Arizona
because of its Immense debt and the poverty
of the territory ; to Utah on account of the
prevalence of polygamy , and Oklahoma by
reason of its newness nnd lack of essentials
which go to make up a successful territory
ready for the more advanced position of
statehood. The caucus developed into a
contest between the extreme west and
the east , nnd appears to bo a victory
for the younger members of the senate.
It is considered a victory , however , In name
only , for the subsequent action of the caucus
negatives the result of the caucus , It was
agreed that the question of the admission
should bo made the order of business to fol
low the discussion of the Nicaragua canal.
After the 'present matter of the Cherokee
Strip is disposed of , the senate will take up
the various Interstate commerce bills that
have been or will bo presented and will then
begin the discussion of the Nicaragua canal
bill. In the meantime the appropriations ,
which have the right of way , will begin to
make their appearance and will absorb the
attention of the senate. It will thus bo seen
that the chances for the discussion of the
bills to admit these territories , is very slim
and the eastern senators who gave their as
sent to the caucus program , very reluctantly ,
have no hesitation in saying that no action
will bo taken during this session of congress
whatever. On the oilier hand , the friends
of tljo territories assert that the republicans
s'and committed to n favorable vote ,
regardless of whether it comes up
this session or during the next
congress. The house has already
passed the bills for the admission of Now
Mexico and Arizona , but no action has been
taken on Utah. Of the three territories It
is said only one. that of Oklahoma , is proba
bly republican , but the republican senators
say they will insist upon their admission , re
gardless of politics , for the reason that they
will never advance or become improved until
they are given statehood , and that their Im
provement will enhance the condition of the
other now states In the west. There was a
quorum present during the two hours of the
caucus.
I'lNICKUTON INVKSTIOATIOX.
Ill-port of tlio Subcommittee of the Judic
iary Committee Washington Jfoton.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan. S4. Mr. Dates of
Alabama , chairman of the subcommittee of
the house committee , charged with the In
vestigation of the Plnkerton detective
agency at the Homestead , Pa. , labor troubles ,
and especially the part taken In it by the
PInkertons , submitted his report to the full
committee today. The report was read and
discussed and made the special order of the
committee for Tuesday next , when , It is un
derstood , final action on it will bo taken.
The committee ordered favorably reported
the bill for the protection of persons furnish
Ing materials and labor for the construction
of public works. It provides that persons
entering Into contracts with the United
States for the publlu shall execute the usual
penal bonds with the additional obligation
that they will promptly make payments to
persons furnishing them with labor or ma
terials. In case contractors refuse or fall to ' I
make these payments , such persons are 1
authorized to bring suit. in the name of the
United States against the contractor and
securities and prosucuto them to final Judg
ment.
Interior Department Officers.
Secretary Noble says that In his opinion
the federal service requires the continuance
of the Cherokee commission. There are , ho
says , several Indian tribes on the land
formerly belonging to the Cherokee Outlet ,
with whom no negotiations have been
carried on for the purchase of their surplus
lands. I think it would bo to the
publio interest to have this commis
sion , as now constituted , retained to
deal also with the five civilized tribes in
Indian Territory , with a view to negotiating
for the purchase or other disposition of then-
surplus lands , if congress proposes to move
In that direction. In my judgment the time
has como when the Indian tribes , whether
civilized or uncivilized , should bo required to
take that amount of land which each Indi
vidual can properly prepare for cultiva
tion and grazing , and disiwsoof the remain
der.
Secretary Noble has denied the request of
Colonel Cody ( Buffalo 15111) ) for permission
to engage fifty Indians for exhibition at the
World's fair. It Is not thought the secre
tary 1ms a personal objection to the employ
ment of Indians by Colonel Cody , but ho
prefers that his successor should act in the
matter , inasmuch as the term of service
would not begin during the present adminis
tration.

the inllamed membrane , loosens the
phlegm , stops cougluig , and induces
repose. .

stages , checks further progress of
the disease , and even in the later
stages , it eases the distressing
cough and promotes refreshing
sleep. It is agreeable to the taste ,
