WASHINGTON , D. C. , Fob. 27. Tlioro was a
peed deal of Interest manifested when tlio
Iiouso this morning entered upon the last
legislative week of tlio Fifty-second con-
grew Many Important measures were yet
awaiting action.
Mr Peel of Arkansas was the first grntle-
man to catch the speaker's eye and he moved
ttio passage of the Indian appropriation bill
wider suspension of the rules.
Thr ro was no objection to the measure ,
but it was made n pivot nrounil which cir
cled a general discussion ot the anti-option
bill.
bill.Mr
Mr Peel's motion having been agreed to a
discussion of the Sherman bond amendment
to the sundry ci\il ; appropriation bill was
discussed with some warmth , but finally all
the senate amendments to the measure were
none jncurred in and the hill was sent to
conference
When the speaker indirectly refers to the
house us a 'beer garden , " as Speaker Crisp
illcl tntlnj , the provocation must lie very great ,
and it was A dozen members were on their
feet speaking at the top of llieir voices , u liicli
were rendered shrill through tticirelTorts to
out vie cacti other. The trouble occurred
over the motion made by Mr. Wise of Vir
ginia to suspend the rules and concur in the
senate amendment to the "car coupler" hill ,
which amendment was llnally concurred in
yeas , 1S4. n.ij s , * & .
Iinllun Appropriation Kill ,
The demand for the regular order by
Mr Simpson in the house blasted the
hopes of a number of gentlemen who
desired to have pot bills passed during
the closing hours , of congress. Mr. Peel
moved to suspend the rules and pass
the Indian appropriation bill. Although
more than two-thirds of the bill had already
been agreed to in committee of the whole ,
and though Mr Peel requested that
the reading of that part bo dispensed
with , Mr Kllgore objected and tlio clerk
proceeded to read the bill in extcnso. The
bill was then passed under suspension of the
rules ,
At the conclusion of the reading of the
Indian appropriation bill , the anti-option bill
came in for some talk. Taylor of Illinois
said this was being pressed on the senate by
the greatest combination of millers ever
formed in the world to limit the markets.
Combs of New York sent to the clerk's
desk and had read a newspaper dispatch
from Mankato. Minn. , declaring such to bo
the determination. Ho then called attention
to the fact that the gentleman presenting
the bill in the scnato is one of the most im-
] K > rtant millers in the United States
Hatch replied at some length and said the
bill would limit sales , not sales of wheat , but
sales of wind on the Chicago Board of Trade.
After some further badinage the house got
back to business and passed the Indian
appropriation bill.
Mr Holman moved to suspend the rules
nnd nonconcur in the scnato amendments to
the sundry civil appropriation bill , including
the Sherman bond amendment. After a
rather warm discussion the motion to sus
pend the rules was agreed to by a vote of 309
to 104 , and Messrs. Holman , Sayrcs and
Cogswell were appointed conferees.
Mr. Wise moved to suspeud the rules and
ngreo to the scnato amendments to the car
coupler bill.
Mr. Uicliardson demanded a second , which
after some delay was ordered by a vote of
162 to 05.
Mr. lUchardson moved an adjournment
and on this motion tbo nays and ayes were
ordered.
Jli'bukcd by the Speaker.
EhiiTfor some moments there was great
confusion and noise in the house which com
pelled the speaker finally to state in tones
of stern reproof ; "Gentlemen must under
stand that thl Is the house of representa
tives and not n 'beer garden. ' " [ Applause. ]
The motion to adjourn was defeated yeas ,

academy appropriation bill was agreed tu.
On motion of Mr. Springer a bill was

tariff on fine lincu goods of not less than 100
threads to the square Inch.
Mr. Breckinridgc of Arlcansas moved to
suspend the rules and pass the bill for the
lolief of William W. Burns. Burns is ono of
the assignees of the interest of W. H. Slbley ,
the Inventor of the Slbley tent. The Sibloy
I bill is ono which has consumed the time of
almost every private bill day this session.

WASHINGTON1 , D. C. , Feb. 27. In the sen
ate , after the agricultural bill had been
jlaccd ) on the calendar , the pension appropria
tion bill \vns taken up , and Air. Gorman called
attention to the fact that a bill appropriating
f Hk5KM,000 ( ) was behiR run through the scn
atu with very few senators glvinc any atten
tion to It. This was the commissioner's esti
mate of vrlwt would bo needed , but the fact
was the commissioner did not know how
many pensioners would bo added to the roll
this year , nnd it was beyond question that
there would bo at the end of the fiscal year
on the HOth of .luno next a deficiency of from
f i jr , oooooo to fc.0xioooo. (

passed without amendment.
The conference rcjwrt ou the military

Inc of Business.
WAsnixnTON , D. C. , Feb. 27. Both houses
did a good day's work and took a long step
in the direction of winding up the business
so as to lessen the danger of an extra ses
sion. Few members of the house antici
pated the smooth sailing that was met with
today , and when the senate amendments to
the sundry civil bill were disagreed to in
formally and sent to conference there was a
sigh of relief all over the house. It was ex
pected that there would bo a stubborn fight
on the Sherman bond amendment and the
fact that it was disposed of so expeditiously
was a matter for general congratulation.
Under a suspension of the rules the house
also passed the Indian appropriation billjand
removed that prolific subject of debate from
the calendar.
Ono of the surprises of 'tho day was the
ability of the friends of the car coupler bill
to secure , under susi > onslon of the rules , an
agreement to the senate amendment. Tlio
hill now goes lo the president. The con
ference report on the military academy bill
was also agreed to , and Inasmuch as the re
port was also agreed to In the senate , that
measure is out of the way.
In tnoiscnato equally as expeditious work
was accomplished , the pension bill , involving
an expenditure of about tlJ.000OUO. ( being
passed without any debate of consequence ,
and the agricultural bill was reported.
The senate postofllco bill will bo reported
and the committee will at once prepare and
report the Indian bill , which has just passed
the house.
From this lime , night sessions will be the
order until the close of the congress.

the legislature of any state had appropri

guard the latter is entitled to purchase for
cash from the United States cloth depots

The court of claims today rendered a de

advocate general of the army , against
thoTJnlted States for the recovery of half

x , D. C. , Feb. 27. [ Special to
TUB BEE. ] Democratic comment upon Presi
dent-elect Cleveland's cabinet among mem
bers of congress , when not actually sarcastic ,
Is openly hostile. Tills Is especially true
among members of the senate who will bo
called upon to confirm thcso proposed nomi
nations. Tlio determination or Judge Gresham -
ham not to resign his place upon the bcncu
until after ho has received oniclal notifica
tion that the scnato has confirmed him as
secretary of state , has led to reports that
there would bo an organized attempt In the
senate to defeat him. This report has re
ceived increased circulation , because of the
undoubted fact that an anti-administration
cabal is being organized among democratic
Members of the senate.
This anti-Cloveland combination , however ,
the formation of which was Indicated in
THE BKE a week ago , is not likely to go so
far as to combat the confirmation of any of
Mr. Cleveland's selections for cabinet port
folios. Lesser nominations , including some
of great importance and possibly Involving
thtft historic battle ground of politics , the
New York custom house , may. however ,
beeomo the object of attack. Questions of
litigation also will form the ground work for
bitter contests. It now appears certain the
republican minority of the democratic scnato
will cither vote to confirm Mr. Cleveland's
nominations , or else will not vote at all.
Some Who Arc Agnlnt Him.
The list of democratic senators who arc
active in organizing opposition to Mr. Cleve
land has grown during the past week. It now
Includes Messrs. Hill and Murphy of New
York , Butler of Soutli Carolina , Ilansom of
North Carolina , Harris of Tennessee , Daniel
of Virginia , Coke of Texas , Berry and. Jones
of Arkansas. Pugh of Alabama and Black
burn of Kentucky. The exact attitude of
Seuator Lindsay , Mr. Carlisle's successor , Is
as yet uncertain. Senator Morgan of Ala
bama is known to bo in sympathy witli
the anti-administration democrats , and
were ho in Washington on March 4 would
certainly bo one of the aggressive leaders.
Mr. Morgan , however , has Just departed
for Paris , where for several months
he will be engaged as ono of the American
commissioners in the Bering sea tribunal of
arbitration. In addition to these democratic
senators there is a group of three or four re
publicans who , on account of their free sil
ver proclivities such men as Messrs. Teller ,
Wolcott , Jones and Stewart upon whom
the democrats are counting for aid. It can
be seen from all this that the grand hurrah
of inauguration day , loud as may ring the
shouts of the mob on Pennsylvania avenue ,
will bo drowned by the shouts of battle be
tween the friends and foes of Mr. Cleveland
in the United States scnatu.
Why the Dumocrnt * Are Disgruntled.
It Is entirely from these anti-Cleveland
democratic sources that spring the most bit
ter criticisms of the personnel of the incom
ing cabinet. Republicans as a rule , while
they may find much to smile at , are content
to let Mr. Cleveland go his own gait with
out Ill-natured comment. It is the demo
crats who are pointing out the preponder
ance In Mr. Cleveland's cabinet of such
corporation attorneys and representatives as
Messrs. Gluey , Bissell and Lament , aud
who are d\yelilng upon the capitalistic in
fluences which arc believed to bo pleased by
tho' transfer of Judge Gresham from the
bench to the cabinet , and the elimination of
Michael Holto Smith as an anti-
corporation lawyer In the south ,
where there are ambitious schemes or rail
road and electrical development for the
next four years. It is also exclusively demo
crats who point out that these same capital
istic influences may meet little difficulty in
controlling the conduct of the Treasury de
partment under Mr. Carlisle. The an
nounced intention to inako Mr. Carlisle's son
the chief clerk of theTrcasury department Is
interpreted by these democrats as meaning
a liberal use of patronage , not merely to
conciliate the discontented , but to extend
and promote the political fortunes of the ex-
senator from Kentucky. There is a rich har
vest of plums in the Treasury department
patronage entirely outside of the customs of-
liccrs. Kight hero in Washington , In the de
partment itself , there are so many positions
at the disposal of the secretary and under
the direct control of his chief clerk , outside
of the classified service , as to make It possi
ble for Mr- Carlisle to build up a formidable
political machine in his personal interests.
Prejmred to Skin the Htrnncrrs.
At high noon next Saturday Mr. Cleveland
will succeed Benjamin Harrison as president
of the United States. The streets of Washington -
ington already offer ugly evidence of the ex
pected arrival of as many visitors to witness
the inaugural parade as the railroads can
carry. There are as yet no decorations , but
ovcry park and public reservation on the line
of march has been defaced by enormous
stands where seats will bo sold to the public
at extortionate prices. Every hotel manager
and boarding house keeper in Washington is
prepared to reap an enormous harvest next
week. The influx of visitors has already begun -
gun , and it Is expected ttiat the crush by next
Tuesday or Wednesday will become tremend
ous. Every inaugural display has for
years excelled in the length of
the procession and in the number of the on-
looking multitude , its predecessors. If the
weatner bo favorable it is expected that the
procession of next Saturday will also sur
pass any previous demonstration. The pro
cession will , broadly sK > akiug , consist of
two portions , the military and the civic.
The military parade will include the entire
division of Pennsylvania militia , numbering
8.JOO men , besides largo detachments from
Nexv Jersey. New I'ork , Now England ,
Maryland , the District of Columbia , Vir
ginia and other southern Atlantic states.
But it is the civic portion of the parade
which is expected to bo even a more striking
feature. The chief marshal of this part of
the parade will bo Mr. William Dickson of
Washington.
Coming of the Clant.
Now York will head the line with 3,100
braves of Tammany in the forefront. It Is not
clear whether thcso followers of Mr. Crober
will consider themselves as marching in the
roll of captives behind Mr. Cleveland's
triumphal chariot or as participants in a
triumphnl procession. Behind Tammany
will come the Oriental club of 100 ; the
Cleveland Democratic club of Buffalo , 40J :
the John J O'Brien association , 200 ; the
Kings county democracy , ! ! 00 ; the Bush wick
Democratic club , 150 ; the Seymour Demo
cratic club , 200 ; the Constitution Demo
cratic club of Brooklyn , 2T > 0 ; the John Y.
McKano association , ItOO ; the Long Island
City club. 40 ; the Stuyvesant club-ot Har-
lam , 75 j the Peter J. Masterson association
of Brooklyn , 75. Now Jersey's contingent
will include the Robert Davis Pioneers of
Jersey City , the McLaughlin association of
Jersey City , the Joel Purker association and
the James Smith , Jr. association and the
Krnegcr association of Newark , the Joseph
Koppicr association of Patterson and the
Billy Thompson club of Gloucester.
Maryland will make u good showing.
From Baltimore will como the Calumet , the
Concord , the Iroquots , the Hendrieks , the
Phoenix and the Columbia clubs , besides an
innumerable swarm of other local ward as
sociations There will also bo the mounted
battalion of Prince George's county , which
will Include a contingent of dashing eques
trians , the Dumocratio club of Bladensburg ,
the Cleveland-Stevenson and McKal ? club
ofMontgomery coi.nty , includingtilGmounted
mon. The uuterriflod democracy from till
| K > rtions of Maryland will , on account of the
nearness , also invade Washington.
In all the civic iwrtion of the parade will
Include organizations from fifteen states and
ono territory , numbering in the aggregate
over 20,000.
Miaturlectly Seeking lor 1'lacri.
The advance guard of the army of office
seekers who will disturb. Mr Cleveland' *
dreams at night nnd annoy liU Illusions by
dny has already reached Washington It M
n curious fact that thefptiriclp.il business of
tbo avant couriers of the Jaiksonlan spoils
hunters arc consorting jlnhripally with re
publican ofticeholders. Thi'\vlsh to learn
from thoie holding oftknwnder Mr. Harrl-
Min's administration juU by what methods
the latter succeeded In securing np | < olnt-
ments and to this end ar cultivating most
assiduously the friend ship of the very mon
whose desks they hopd soon Ui occupy. This
vulgar feature of plotting for the loaves and
fishes of politics is onlynno-of the minor In
dications that the alignment of parties is
subject to material change during the
next four years. How far the mere
distribution of party -'patronage will
affect the new altitudaof the democratic
and republican parties , especially in relation
to the forces which favor the wildcat finan
cial and the free trade theories of the Chic
ago platform which havo. been disowned by
Mr Cleveland , Is a question. As to these
broader problems the skirmish line of the
office seeking army which Is about to invest
Washington is all In the dark. At present
thcso persons are confining their efforts to
cultivating the acquaintance of republicans
in office. It is to bo remarked also that n
few a very few of these republicans have
already become renegades aud upon their
side nro exerting every effort Vo cultivate
friendly relations with the now powers that
are to bo.
Wlmt Coiicri'KB May Do ,
The question of an extra session of con
gress before next fall will bo determined
during the cominc week. Such an extra ses
sion would be made absolutely necessar.v by
the failure of any one of the great appropria
tion bills now landing. Oneof these bills is in
serious danger. This is the sundry civil bill ,
the peril of which is due almost exclusively to
the Sherman amendment inserted by the
senate , authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to issue 3 per cent bonds. This
amendment will bo violently opposed by the
free silver democrats of the house , despite
the efforts of Chairman Harrity of the demo
cratic national committee to obtain for Mr.
Cleveland a concressional blacklist upon the
silver question. "It is not safe to make a
positive prediction , but tbu chances are that
the Sherman amendment , after a hard fight ,
will bo defeated. This will be more easily
accomplished because the secretary of the
treasury already has the power to issue a 4
Derccnt bond , which would command such a
premium as to reduce the interest paid by
the government practically to 3 per cent.
The defeat Of the Sherman amendment
would send the sundry civil bill to a confer
ence eoiftmittce , and upon the influences
controlling that committee would probably
depend the creation or the avoidance of the
necessity for an early extra session of the
Fifty-third congress Whatever the fate of
the Sherman amendment , it seems to bo
generally conceded that this administration ,
while opposed to issuing bonds to maintain
the parity of gold and silver , is prepared to
take that step at an instant's notice should
the necessity arise.
Nicaragua May SulTer.
There are two great subjects pending before -
fore the senate upon which action at this
session does not scorn probable. Ono of
these Is the bill giving the guaranty of the
United States government to the bonds of
the Nicaragua Canal company. The argu
ments in laver of such action have been so
frequently and forcibly stated as to need no
repetition. Nevertheless , the press of busi
ness Is so great and the legislative days be
tween now and March 4 are so few that the
Nicaragua bill has little chance of success
ful action.
The other measure of international im
portance still pending before the senate is
the treaty annexing the Hawaiian islands.
So strong is the partisan desire among dem
ocratic senators to rob the Harrison admin
istration of the eclat of this addition to our
territory that it now scemr quite probable ,
either that the pending- treaty will be de
feated or that its ratification will bo delayed
until after March 4.
There are indications that the Cleveland
administration will have to .deal with other
propositions of annexation , besides that of
Hawaii. The acquirement by a United
States syndicate ot the control of the
finances of the republic of San Do
mingo has Men followed by the ar
rival in Washington of h new minister from
Hay ti whoso connection with revolutions has
caused him to be friendly Vjannexatlon. The
movement for the purchase of Cuba from
Spain is continually growing in strength ,
while the agitation for the annexation of
British America will certainly not cease
with the new administration. At the same
time the diplomatic relations between the
United States and Mexico have for a long
time been growing more an > i more Intimate.
American capital is largely invested in Mex
ican mines and railroads , and many conces
sions to investors of the United States are
likely to be granted by the Mexican govern
ment in the future. P. S. H.
SHKIIMAN'S 1JOND AMENDMENT.
It Is Thought the Senate Will Itncedo from
Its Position ou the Question.
WASHINGTON- . C. , Feb. 27. Two views
relative to the Sherman bond amendment
obtain in the senate. The Indications are ,
however , that the senate will rccedo from
its amendment In this particular , and that
the result of the struggle will bo that ttie
sund ry civil bill will be passed without this
amendment attached to it.
Teller , one of the most ardent of the anti-
bond faction , slid this evening that there
was a very visible weakening of the forces
that passed this amendment when it was up
for consideration , and that when it came
baclf from the house the motion to recede
from the amendment would probably pre
vail. There has been a quiet canvass of
this matter going on for the past two days ,
and the opponents of the issue of bonds say
that they have ascertained that certain sen
ators voted for the proposition under a mis
apprehension and the action of the house
will permit them to change the record as it
now stands. It is also said that word has
como from Mr. Cleveland that he would
rather not see the sundry civil bill a law
thatf1 have It imperiled by the attempt to
force the bond amendment on the house.
No ono proposed to sneak for Mr. Cleveland
in this mutter.
A well known senator who enjoys the- con
fidence of the president-elect said today
there was no reason why the tend amend
ment should not prevail and he believed It
would In the end , for the reason that it was
a clean cut business proposition that could
result in nothing but a saving of expense to
the country at largo. The administration
was HI favor of the amendment and in the
event of a contingency the friends of the
administration , the senator said , would
resist any attempt to defeat the amendments
as passed by the senate. The indications
seem to be , though , that a material change
of sentiment has been going on in the senate
and that the amendment will bn receded
from rather than the bill should be defeated.

CLEVER ESCAPE.
A Ilurclur IVrnoimted Another SI an nnd
WHlkril Out of . ( all.
Mr. James Doyle , expert burglar , highway
man nnd all around thief , recently confined
In the county Jail , is once more breathing the
air of liberty this morning as the result of a
very clever trick which he , played upon his
Jailers Saturday. . *
Doyle , was the ringleader of the gang of
niuo burglars which the local detectives un
earthed In an old building at Tenth aud
Jones streets some time ago. They were all
good mon to have under lock aud key and
Doyle In particular was considered wall
worth keeping there as long as possible. It
was developed that ho was the king pin of
the gang and had planned the greater nutn-
Dffl STAIRS TflDH ,
Ccxno m nnd BCD tlieui
berof the Jobi that had been pulled off in
the city during the winter.
The whole outfit was committed to the
county Jail , Doyle being held on a charge of
burglary under $1,500 bonds and with a good
case against him.
One of the less notorious members of the
gang named Clark was not connected di
rectly with any of the robberies and was
sentenced to twenty days for vagrancy. His
time was up Saturday and Doyle boldly
walked up and demanded to be released ,
claiming that ho was the Clark in question.
The impersonation succeeded and the notori
ous housebreaker was permitted to walk out
unmolested and the Jailers did not
discover their mistake until the real
Clark set up a howl and wanted to
know why he was not released as his time
was up according to his calendar. The Jail
officials are saying nothing about the manner
in which they were hoodwinked , and the de
tectives who elated over the fact that the
most dangerous burglar in Nebraska was
safely caged will pin a tag on his back the
next time they catch him so that the Jail
officers will be able to recognize him.
In Judge Iterka' * IliUllwIck.
Edward Darling , who is charged with the
burglary of C. W. Mount's residence , waived
his preliminary examination yesterday
and was bound over to the district court
under $1,000 bonds.
A complaint was filed against Ed H. Har-
round in police court yesterday charging
him with obtaining money urftJer false pretenses -
tenses in Inducing E. G. Floyd & Co. to cash
a check for $10 on the First National bank ,
where ho had no funds on deposit The
name of E. W. McElvey was signed to the
spurious paper.

ANOTHER S TBIKE.
Union Printers of Klopp & IJartlett Walked
Out Yesterday.
The union printers of Omaha have another
strike on hand. This time the office of Klopp
& Bartlelt is under the ban. There was a
similar trouble several weeks ago , at which
time the firm had thrco non-union men in its
employ , but it was settled by an agreement.
The officers of the union say that Klopp & .
Bartlett agreed to discharge the three rats
and that the union on its part was to receive
their applications for membership and give
them Impartial consideration. Mr. Klopp
asserts that the union agreed to taio tlio
thrco printers into its membership if the
firm made its concern a union office. In sup
port of his statement he says the rats were
given permits to work and that matters went
on peacefully.
At any rate the union refused to receive
one of the trio of rats into its membership ,
alleging that ho belonged to the Printers
Protective fraternity and that ho had a
habit of taking the places of union men dur
ing strikes. His permit was annulled , and
yesterday morning the union printers of
Klopp < Sc Bartlett were ordered to walk out
if the firm refused to discharge the rat. The
firm objected to the demand , and tne strike
was on. Klopp & Bartlett charge the union
with bad faith and say they will now run
their office with nonunion printers.
