( Special Tele- Kram. ) The committee on military nlTalr reported favorably today on Itcprcacntatlvo Mercer's bill ceding Fort Omaha reservation on Its abandonment In the spring to the state of Nebraska far the purpose of establishing n Kate military cchnol. An nridltlonal sec tion was added to the bill by the committee , making It the duty of tlio state while In pos- ecsslon of such military reservation to keep the permanent buildings and Improvements In us peed condition and repair na at the date It shall enter Into possession thereof , and the name are to be Inspected at least once a year by an officer of the army , who shall report ttn the condition of such Improvements to tlio secretary of war. Attached to the re port wau a letter from the secretary of war. stating that the reservation will no longer bo needed for military purpose * after the re moval of the garrison to Fort Crook. The ad dition of the section providing for Inspection Is entirely acceptable to Mercer , who says It fl.xc * the military character of the Institu tion , and , If anything , strengthens tha bill. The favorable recommendation of the bill from the committee Insures Its passagu In the Jiou e.

Beyond this nothing could be ascertained until after his presentation of the scheme to the committee.

Ho explained that It was not the Intention of the govern ment to carry out In its ontlloty the de cision of the court of appeals and again place Major Armcs In close confinement pending court martial , but tlio prosecution prac tically sought only to have Its course vindi cated. Major Armes' counsel agreed to these con tentions of the prosecution. The court In dltpcslng of the case Bald the whole case ap peal ed to bo a piece of spite work on. the part of General Schofleld , and that this belief waa Justified by the fact that thcro now ap peared to bo no Intention to prosecute further. Today's action loaves Major Armes con structively under arrest , hut It Is probable the matter will not be pushed further. t OppOHcil to Any F M 11 ill n w Dili. WASHINGTON , Jan. 29.

Jan. 29. The action which the senate foreign relations commute urges tha president to take In response t Cuba Is said by persons versed In diplomacy to ba absolutely without precedent. Neve bsfore has a nation b * n requested to nc cord belligerent rights to rebels against It government , and never have such rights been accorded. A recognition of bclllgerenc ) amounts to nothing unless manifested In a proclamation of neutrality , EO that the sen ate committee's proposition Is really equlv alcnt to a request upon Spain to permit th United Slates to Issue n proclamation dc daring ourselves neutral an respects th present conflict In Cuba. It It was the in tcntlon of the senate committee to secure hu mane treatment of the Cubans , to ensur them against capital punishment on th charge of treason , this , It is said , mlgh have been Indicated by n request that Spain recognbe the municipal belligerency of th insurgents , which would In no sense be equlv atcnt to an admission of International belllg crcncy. Because the United States government In our late war treated captive confederate ; a prisoners of war , made exchanges of prison crs , and recognized flags of truce , the na tlons of Uuropc held that wo had recognlzec their belligerency , and immediately , by the Issue of neutrality proclamations , proceedei practically to recognlzo the belligerency o the south themselves. Mr. Reward cnterei a most vigorous protest , and In the course of the correspondence he made a very nice distinction , showing that the United State had been Induced to treat the. confederate In this fashion solely from Impulses ot hu manlty , and not from any consideration o International law. His protests were un availing to affect the action of European na tlons , but he did place the United State on record In a fashion that will make It ex trcmely difficult for our administration t reconcile Mr. Saward's utterances with a compliance with the request of congress presuming that the senate committee rcsolu tion will be adopted. It Is probable that the president may a this tlmo give some consideration himself to the question that has already been broached but not disposed of , In the debate In Ihe house upon the Armenian resolution , nm that Is Just iiow far he is bound to be gov erned by such suggestions and requsels "a are contained In these concurrent resolutions of congress. It is becoming apparent tha wlille the president Is ready and even anx ious to hear the wishes of the legislative branch upon such features of our foreign re lotions as ho may bring to its attention , ho Is disposed to Insist upon retaining in his own hands the control of our foreign cor rcspondence as a whole , and is likely , there fore , to consider well the subject matter o such concurrent resolutions as are now pcnd Ing , In any stage , before acting upon them Scnor Dupuy do Lome , when seen , refuset to comment upon the action of the senate committee. AMj WANTED CONDEMNED CANNON Illlln IntroilnrtMl to Appropriate Then liv WholcHltlc. WASHINGTON , Jan. 29. The session o the house was brief today. The opposition to a bill reported from the Invalid pen sions committee to amend the act of 1890 , so that in the consideration of widows' claims unexplained absance for seven years should be considered sufficient .proof . of death , let to the making of the point of no quorum early In the session , and the house was forced to adjourn. The proceedings opened with a scramble for condemned cannon. Mr. Brew- stcr asked unanimous consent to pass a bll for the donation of condemned cannon to Grand Army ot the. Republic posts at Rochester and Ilocltport. N. Y. Mr. Plckler asked If tlioro would be enough cannon to go to all the Grand Army of the Republic posts. "It all are as worthy as these posts are , " replied Mr. Brewstcr. "I think we can afford to manufacture condemned cannon for the Grand Army of the Republic posts of the country. " ( Laughter. ) Immediately fully fifty members were on their feet trying to after , amendments ifor the donation of condemned cannon to their dis tricts. After the bill had been loaded dowr with amendments and Mr. PIcltlor had offeret an omnibus amendment to provide for con demned cannon for the Grand Army of the Republic departments of each state and terri tory , the clamor for cannon became so loud that the bill with Its amendments was re ( erred to the committee on naval affairs. A demand by Mr. Crisp for the regular or der resulted In the call ot committees for reports , under-which bllla were passed to exclude the public lands of Alabama from the operation of the law of 1SSS , relating to mineral lands ; granting homesteaders on the Yankton Indian reservation leave of absence for one year ; to designate the offcers before whom preliminary entries of public lands can be made. AIM'KOIMIIATING MONEY FOH SERDS. AKrlcultiiriil Hill AKnln Carried the Um-xpeiuloil Unluiicc. WASHINGTON , Jan. 29. The house com- niltteo on agriculture today finished the bill makhig appropriations for the support of the Agricultural department for the fiscal year 1897. The total amount carried by the bill Is $3,153,302 , as agntnst $3,303,750 , appropri ated for the present fiscal year. The $130- 000 carried by last year's bill for the pur chase and distribution of valuable seeds , but which was unexpended by Secretary Morton , Is again appropriated. Thcro Is an unex pended balance of over $1,000,000 that has accumulated from the agricultural bills for some years past , and rather than lot this amount lapse and be turned into the treas ury , the committee will recommend thntljt bo set aside as a nucleus for the erection ot a now building for the Department of Ag riculture In this city. The difference in the amount carried by the bill and that appro priated for the current fiscal year Is duo In part to a reduction of $70,000 for the bureau of animal Industry , where considerable work regarded as unnecessary will bo discontinued , and a reduction of $14,000 In salaries In the weather bureau Is made.

Senator Jones of Arkansas , who has charge of the sliver bill In tha senate , said after the somate adjourned today , that while ho did not propose at present to attempt a test of physical en durance In order to pass the bill , ho would , beginning tomorrow , ask- the senate to sit at night for its consideration , If he should fall to fix a tlmo for a vat * He did not , however , expect to ask thartho sessions be prolonged beyond 10 or 11 o'clock. The friends of the bill are adverse to naming so late a day as February 6 , the date suggested by Senator Hill , because that would take the final disposition of the question to a date beyond the time fixed for receiving the last ot the bids on the proposed bond Issue.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 29. The presentation of committee reports on Cuba and a highly dramatic ; and sensational speech of Mr. TI1I- man , the new senator from South Carolina , furnished two stirring events Ju the senate today. The majority resolution on Cuba astty the president to urge Spain to grant belligerent right * to the Insurgents , while the minority report directs the president to take steps toward securing from Spiln the complete Independence' of Cuba. Both resolutions went to the senate calendar. Such a torrent of Invective has seldom been heard In tbo senate as that In the speed ot Mr. Tlllman. Veteran members of th body characterized the speech MI one of the most remarkable In the history of the uppe branch of congrow. It abounded In Btate meats of a sensational character , arraigning President Cleveland , Secretary Carlisle and other men In high places. There was a directness of statement and n dramatic manner nor of delivery which awed floor and galleries The gcstureu of the senator were used fre quently In acting his words. At one poln ho made a profound e-alutc , and then tipped his hat to Sherman "as the financial victor o a quarter of a century. " The galleries wer moved alternately to applause and laughter Pausing for a sip of water amid roars o laughter , he remarked : "I seldom wet my whlstlo white I speak ; still you can't run a windmill on water. " The next moment there was a hush throng ] the chamber no the senator applied sucl names as "Judas. " to a member of the cablne or characterized the president In bitter terms At times the senator's voice sank to a whlspo ao for Instance , when he gave warning of th approach of a popular revolution and com iminlsm and the marching on Washington o a host with rifles In their hands. Again his vice refunded through the chamber am the outer corridor * as he called senators am members "cowards" for not resorting to 1m pcachment. Mr. Jones of Arkansas gave further notice of a test of endurance tomorrow , If ntces sary , to secure a vote on the t'llver bond bill. bill.Mr. Mr. Morgan , democrat ot Alabama , fron the committee on foreign relations , very promptly , after the senate proceedings began today , reported the resolution for the recog nition of the belligerent rights of the Cuban Insurgents. The senator read the report In full , stating that It favored an action on a iiubstltute resolution. The reading of the resolution and the re port was followed by close attention by sen ators. Following Is a copy of the resolution In full : Resolved , By the eenatf , the house of repre sentatlves concurring , that the present de plorable war In the Island of Cuba has reachcc a magnitude that concerns all civilized na tions to the extent that it should bo con ducted , if , unhappily. It is longer to con tinue , on those principles and laws of warfare - faro that are acknowledged to bs obligatory upon civilized nations when engaged In open hostilities , including the treatment ot cap tives , enlisted In either army , due respect to cartels for 'exchange ot prisoners and for other military purposes ; truces and flags o truce ; the provision of proper hospitals and hospital supplies and services to the sick and wounded of either army. Be It further resolved. That this represen tation of these views and opinions of congress be sent to the president , and If he concurs therein , that he will , In a friendly spirit , use the good offices of this government to the end that Spain shall be requested to accord to the armies with which it Is engaged In war the rights of belligerents , as the same are recognized under the law of nations. The resolution was accompanied by a re port. The report says : CANNOT REMAIN INDIFFERENT. "Tho congress ot the United Statea.dceply regretting the unhappy state of hostilities existing In Cuba , which has again been the result of the demand of a largo number of the native populatlgn of that Island for its Independence , In a spirit of respect and re gard for the welfare of both countries , earn estly desltcs that the security of life and piopcrty and the establishment of perma nent peace and of a government , that Is satisfactory to the people of Cuba should be accomplished. And to the extent that the people of Cuba are seeking the rights of local self-govornrnent for domestic purposes , me congress or tlio united states expresses Its earnest sympathy with them. The con gress would also welcome with satisfaction the concession by Spain of complete sovereignty eignty to the people of that Island and would cheerfully give to such s. voluntary conces sion the cordial support of the United States. The near proximity of Cuba to the frontier of the United States and the- fact that It Is universally regarded as a part of the con tinental system ot America , Identifies that Island so closely with the political and com mercial welfare of our people that congress cannot be Indifferent to the fact that civil war Is flagrant among the people of Cuba. " The report then sets forth that It Is Im possible longer to overlook the fact that the destructive character of the war Is doing serious harm to the rights and Interests of our people on the Island and to the lawful corrmerce , the protection and freedom of which Is safeguarded by treaty obligations. It is recalled that In former wars of the same character as the. present the United States has always observed all of Its duties tcwaid the belligerents. "This , " the report says , "was a difficult task , but It was per formed with vigor , Impartially and Justice , In the hope that Spain would so ameliorate the condition ot the Cuban people as to give .hem peace , contentment and prosperity. This desirable result l.as not been accomplished. Its failure has not resulted from any Interfer ence on the part of our people or the gov ernment with the people or government of Cuba. The hospitality which our treaties , " laws ot nations and the laws of Christianity javo extended to Cuban refugees In the United States has caused distrust on the part of the Spanish government as to the fidelity of our government to Its obligations of neutrality In the frequent insurrections of , ho people of Cuba against Spanish authority This distrust has often become a source of serious annoyance to our people and has led o a spirit of retaliation toward Spanish au thority In Cuba , thus giving rise to frequent controversies. " STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE. Reference Is made to the absence of re sponsibility of the government In Cuba as a cauoa of doljy , of protracted Imprisonment and property confiscations , also to the fact that theBB Cuban insurrections have over iroved a temptations to filibusters from hN country , causing trouble and expense , t Is assarted that the devastation of Cuba n the present war that Is "being waged with fire and sword" is a cause of unrest among looplo of the United States , creating strong ground for protest against Its continuance This struggle , the report sayo. Is rapidly changing the Issue to one of existence on ho part of a great number of the native lopulatlon. The report continues : "It Is neither Just to the relations that oxlet between Cuba and the United States nor Is It in keeping with the spirit of the age or the rights of humanity tint this struggle should be protracted until one parly or the other ehould become exhausted In the re sources of men and money , thereby weaken- ng both until they may fall prey to some rtrong power , or until the stress of human ympathy or the resentments engendered by eng and bloody conflicts should draw Into ho strife the unruly elements of neighboring countries. " "This civil war , though It Is great In Its proportions and la conducted by armies that re In complete organization and directed nd controlled by supreme military authority as not a safeguard of a cartel for the treat ment of vroundel toldlers or prisoners of var. In this feature of the warfare , it be- omcs a duty of humanity that civilized lowers should Irfslst upon the applications ot ho laws of war recognized among civilized mtloni ( o both armies. AH our own people ro drawn into thla struggle on both sides nd enter either army without the consent t our government and In violation of our aw , tholr treatment when they may bs wounded or captured , although it Is not regulated by treaty'and teeates to be a po l UTO care of our ggte pment. should not b left to the roventeful { retaliations which ex pone them to the thte bt pirates or othc felons. " > Attention Is called.tp the Inability of Spain to deal with the revolutionists as a mlsfor tune which It Is unf U to vIMt upon th United States. "It ,1s rtue , " the report con eludes , "to the situation of affairs In Cub that should rt6e hlze Spain the existence o a. state ot war In the Island and Miouli voluntarily accord ( o the armies opposed to her authority the rights of belligerents nnje the laws of nations. ' < * ' CAMERON OFIAKUS A SUBST1TUTD. Following Is the text pf the resolution re ported by Senator Cameron as. a substltut for the Cuban resolution reported by th senate committee on iforclgn affairs : Kenolrcd , That the president Is hereby re quested to Interpose Ms friendly offices with the Spanish government for the recognition of the Independence ot Cuba. Referring to the Isurrectlon In Cuba soon after the close of our civil war , Scnito Cameron says : "It Is saM that early In th > enr 1S69 a proclamation was actually slgncC by General Grant recognizing the Cuban as belligerents , although the fart was known to but very few jier sar. This proclamation was not promulgated owing to the opposition of Secretary Fish. " The sonstcr also quoted at some length from the menage cf Prest dent Grant of 1809 , In which the presiden predicted that In duo time Spain must flm It to her Interest to establish the Indepcnd ence of her dependents. He refers to the diplomatic efforts made at that time by till government to secure Cubin independence which was on the following basis : 1. Independence of Cuba to be acknowl edged by Spain. 2. Cuba to pay Spain for the relinquishment mont of her rights. 3. The abolition of slavery. Our government was to guarantee the payment mont of the Indemnity. Mr. Cameron at tributes the fact that our government fallcc at that tlmo to recognize the belligerency o the Cubans to the premises of reform made In Spain and to the Internal strife In Spain which rendered our government loath to press an outside complication. Ho says also Mr. Fish was Irritated by the operations o the Cuban Junta In thti country , which a times Infringed our neutrality laws. We also had trouble of cur own In the south The action of our government was , he says In striking contrast to that ot Spain In rec ognlzlng the confederates as belligerents Mr. Cameron also refers to other revolu tlons In which our government was on the point of Intervening. "Tho nicest sense o International rcqulremcntp , " he says , "can not fall to perceive that provocation fron Spain was overlooked by our governmen for a longer period and with greater pa tlenco than any other government of Ku rope would have tolerated. " SPANISH CONFESSIONS. After quoting at length the report mode by General Campoa In 1S78 , Mr. Cameron says : "The highest Spanish authorities have been obliged to confess that the grievances ot the Cubans are Just and their aspira tions for liberty legitimate. " He said the Spanish government In Cuba was an armet monarchy. "Tho danger and the scandal of the Cuban situation , " he says , "have beet such as can be- compared but to the con dition of Armenia. " He asserts that a state of war exists and that with that alone vie have to deal. "The precedents for li-ecognltlon arc , " he Bays , "clear , and If ou.r action were to be decided by precedent nlono wo should not bo able to hesitate. " Ho asserts that the Insurgents have mada .a record which en titles them to recognition , and adds : "If the government of the" "United States still re frains from recognizing Ithe belligerency after the conclusive proot. of ( the fact the reasor doubtless is that In the absence of lega ! complications the question becomes whollj political and that Htsi true situation musl be , not In a recognition of belligerency , bul In a recognition of Independence. " Ho says In conclusion that he Is confident that no other action accords with our friendly relations with Spain , , , our just sympathy with Cuba and vvlth _ our dignity and con sistency. - Both resolutions wore placed on the cal endar , i . Mr. Gray , democrat of Delaware from the committee < on foreign Delations , "made a fa vorable , , report on th6-res61uttbn , calling on the secretary of state for information as to the arrest of Mark E. Roderiguez on the United States mall steamer Olivette at Ha vana on the 15th lust. , and also tlio arrest of Louis Somelllon and his son In Havana at the same time. The committee strikes out that part of the resolution as Introduced instructing the secretary of state to demand the Immediate release of the prisoners named. The resolutions wont to the calendar. Among the bills Introduced was one by Mr. Galllngcr of New Hampshire , pensioning the widow of General Thomas Ewlng , who died recently. Mr. Call's resolution directing the Inter state Commerce commission to Investigate and report on a canal across the state ot Florida , was agreed to. The rezolutlon as to Eugene V. Debs was referred to the Judiciary committee on the assjiiranco or Jir. near , cuairman 01 uio com mittee. that early action would bo taken. At 2 o'clock Mr. Tlllman took the floor on the pending silver bond bill. The galler ies filled quickly , and the senator was ac corded close attention. Ho moved from his rear seat to one In the front row , Immedi ately In front of the 'presiding officer. Al though provided with manuscript , ho began extemporaneously. During "Mr. Tillman's bitter criticisms of the president he put down his notes and put senators and galleries In roars of laugh ter by tellliiK how , as governor of South Carolina , ho had come here to Inaugurate the president , had stayed four hours out In the snow and sleet until ho was nearly trozen to death to honor this president. "And. " concluded the senator , "I ask God to forgive me for dolngi It. " At one point , after bitterly arraigning the pres'dcnt , the senator addressed himself to ; he republican side at the senate nnd ex claimed : "Why have you not Impeached ? You have the majority to do it. " Mr. Haw ley Interrupted with the query : "Why did not the last congress do this ? " "Ho Is not Impeached , " continued the sen ator , "because he > carries out your republican policy. The last congrots was no better ; han'ths. ! " The senator closed at 4 o'clock. The mem- icrs of the house from South Carolina and many others congratulated him. Mr. Jones of Arkansas asked the unani mous consent to fix 2 o'clock tomorrow as the time of voting on the , silver bond bill. Mr. Hill. objected. "Will the senate name a day for a vote ?

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29. Belva A. Lock- wood , once a presidential candidate on the woman's rights ticket nnd now a practicing attorney In this city , waa today disbarred at a practicing attorney or agent before the pen sion bureau. This action grew out of a charge made against Mrs. Lockv.ood by the pension department accusing her of having Improperly accepted a fee of $25 In a pen sion claim. The bureau called her attention to the alleged Improper charge and insisted that she return the fee to the claimant , as It was held that she had never performed any service In the case for which the fee wati paid. She refused to comply with this de mand , which Is a customary one In the bureau procedure , pending an investigation , and she submitted lengthy statements In support of her position. This was unavail ing , how'ovcr , and action was promptly taken disbarring her from practice. Mrs. Lock- wood probably will make a strong contest for reinstatement. Kxpcctliic Imports of Gold. AVASHINGTON , Jan. 29. On Ing to favor able conditions now existing In the foreign exchange market , the Treasury department s hoping that quite large shipments of gold will be made from abroad to be used in mak- ng payments for the bonds to bo issued un der the call now pending and if this nhould irovo to bo the care It Is understood that t will bo the policy of the department to offer every facility In its power to those who propose to use the Imported gold In payment of the several Installments. No official or even a definite statement can bo obtained at the Treasury department as to what advantage bidders for the new jonds will receive who have obtained the'r ' gold from abroad. The department Is ex ceedingly anxious that a large proportion of the gold offered In payment of the bonds shall bo obtained In Europe and for the purpose of encouraging Imports it is Inti mated that the bidder who offers foreign gold or who demonstrates that he has golden on the way at tbo time the bids are opened will bo given the prefercncn In the awards , other things being equal , over those who offer domestic gold. At this time the pre mium on gold In New York Is quoted at % of 1 per cent for buying and % of 1 > er cent for Belling. As near as can bo ascertained the average cost of importing ; old from London U a little less than 1-5 of . per cent. Under these conditions a ismall profit , Independent of the bond Issue , ap- virently could now be realized on gold Im- > orts. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I'renlilent Will Deliberate Over It.
