proceed vigorously against the Homcstako

that tlio offer to compromise the suit has
focon definitely rejected as much vigor will
0)0 Instilled Into the prosecution of the cor
poration asvus customary In the cases of
Individual depredators on timber lands of the
government a few years ago. The fact that
the company has offered to compromise , even
by the payment of so small a oum as $30,000 ,
Is regarded as un Indication that the govern
ment's case Is as strong as It could well bo
against the concern , and the offer will un
doubtedly Jiavo weight with the Jury as evi
dence In Itself that the company has ad
mitted the Justlco of the claim.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. At the opening
of the Donate tod-iy Mr. Quay ( Pa. ) said he
had noticed In the morning newspapers that
lie had yesterday voted for the consideration
of the- Teller reiolutloo because the senator
from Mltuourl ( Vest ) had asked him to do so.
This , Mr. rfuay eald , was not true In any
ecnse , as ho had not conferred with the Mis
souri senator about It. Ho had voted as ho
bid because the present condition of the reso
lution would bcoellt the country and the re
publican part > .
The resolution of Mr. Allen of Nebraska ,
nskliiR tlio secretary of the Interior for pa
pers concornltiR the dismissal from the pcn-
Klon olllco of Mrs , M. R. Hoberts , was laid
before the senate. Mr. ( lalllnger moved to
refer the resolution to the committee en civil
servlco and retrenchment. Tending the vote
on that motion Mr , Allen said ho desired to
speak briefly ui > on the matter. Mrs. Hob-
urls , ho had learned , wan a friend of former
Secretory Carlisle , from Covington , Ky. She
was for years a member of tlio family of
James K. Hock , teico senator ( torn Kentucky ,
and her appointment was made through Sen-
titer Dock's Influence ,
"I want to say , " said Mr. Allen , "that no
sclf-rewpcctlng gentleman would treat a
woman as tlila woman has been treated by
the secretary of the Interior end comm'a-
eloner of pensions , If this administration la
-willing to Injure Itself In this way I am will-
Ing. If it desires to hurry Itself out of power
kl am drolrous of hastening Its exit , hut I do
hold , Mr. President , that It U not an tabor-
cnt right ot the secretary of the Interior or
the commissioner of pensions to bo brutal In
their treatment of clerk . If the commis
sioner Jcwlrod the place of Mrs , Kobcrtfl for
nonie hanger-on , why did ho aim a poisoned
dart at her ? Ho must bo a poltroon cad
coward , Indeed , , who will make a covert
charge against a woman and refuse then to
etato the charges. "
Mr. Alien referred to the position taken by
Mr. GallliiEiT , to which the Now Hampshire
senator replied :
"If the senator from Nebraska means seri
ously to Impute to mo such motives as hU
language indicates , ho Is using unparlia
mentary and unwarrantable language. " Mr.
Oalllngcr said ho had learned something
S. about the Hoberts case and was satisfied that
1 the senate was not the place for the dis
cussion of the details of this case. In the
privacy ot the committee room the state
ments of Mrs. noberts , the secretary of the
Interior , the commissioner of pensions and
other * could bo heard upon tbo caso. Then the
case coijld 'bo ' properly dlsciirscd and In
vestigated. Such caaco 23 this have no place
in the senate chamber , and It may ba
possible 'that It may bo the part of gallantry
to consider this ease in private and in the
end Mr. Galllnger 'thought ' Mrs. Roberts
would thank him for the position ho had
taken in the matter.
Mr. Allen contended that there wna a hint
of something vitally wrong In the moral
character ot Mrs. Ilobcrts. He rovlowed the
cane again and discussed at eome length
Its application to the present agitation of
the civil servlco Question.
Assurance was given by Mr. Prltchard of
North Carolina , chairman of the committee
on civil servlco and retrenchment , that t'JO
committee would carefully Investigate the
causes referred to his committee. Mr. Allen
agreed to such a reference. The resolution
was then so referred.
Mr. Lodge ( Map.s. ) , somewhat to the sur
prise of the people In the galleries , who were
expecting a discussion of the Teller resolu
tion. moved that the senate go Into oxecutvlo
session.
"Dcfore the motion Is put , Mr. President , "
said Mr. Vest ( Mo. ) , I desire to make a brief
statement. I gave notice yesterday that
the resolution reported by the finance com
mittee -would b ? further considered today ,
but several senators opposed to the resolution
have said to me that their personal con
venience requires that the resolution shall
not bo pressed at this time. They have
suggested to me that wo permit the resolu
tion to go over until next Tuesday and that
.It bo taken up at the conclusion of the morn
ing business on that day for discussion and
that a vote upon It and upon any other
amendments that may be offered1 thereto be
taken at 4 o'clock next Wednesday. I wish
to say that this arrangement is agreeable
to me , .and BO far an I know to my colleagues
on this side of the chamber.
Mr. Stewart ( Nov. ) said ho would like
to make EOITIP remarks on the pending reso
lution , and would do so tomorrow If the
senate were in session ,
Mr. Turplo ( Ind. ) proposed that Instead
of taking the final vote on Wednesday , It be
taken on Thursday before .adjournment , and
this proposal waa agreed to.
Mr. Perkins ( Cal. ) announced that at
the conclusion of morning business on Mon
day ho would call up the pension appropria
tion bill.
Upon Mr , Ivodgo's motion , the senate then ,
nt 1:05 : p. m , , wont Into executive cession ,
and at 4:45 : adjourned.

WASHINGTON , Jin. 21. Tbo stormy
scones of the lant few days In the house
were followed .by . comparative quiet today ,
At the opening of the session a bill was
passed to grant the commUsIoners of Daloy
county , Alabama , the right to construct two
bridges across the Choctawhatchlo river.
Under the rules this was private 'bill day ,
but Mr. Cannon , chairman of the committee
on appropriations , antagonized It with a
motion for the consideration of the senate
amendments to the urgent deficiency ap
propriation bill. His motion -waa carried ,
125 to 31.
The senate Nicaragua oinal commission
amendment was nonconcured In ,
Cao of the senate amendments was con
curred In with an amendment to appropriate
$10,000 for the repair of the national ceme
tery at Fort Smith , Ark. Thla amendment
was seconded by Mr. Llttlo ( dem , , Ark. ) , who
explained the necessity for It , owing to tiie
devastation caused by the recent storm in
that sectlcm ,
The main flght came on the oenato amend
ment striking out the provision In the bill
requiring depositors of bullion hereafter to
pay the cost of transportation from the assay
oincea to the mints ,
The debate soon drifted onto the silver
question and Mr. Cannon submitted a mod
ified proposition providing that the deposl-
tor of bullion should pay the cost of trans
portation to the "nearest mini , " which was
defeated , 93 to 130. \
The senate amendment to strike out the
whole provision was then agreed to with
out division In the committee of the whole
nnd was confirmed on a yea and uay vote
In the house , 144 to 112.
The bill was sent back to conference.
The vote was considered significant , us
there wa to an extent a certain alignment

Mr. Lacey called up the bill ito extend
the public land laws to the territory of
Alaska and to grant a general right of way
to railroads , which was passed.
The house then went into committee of
the whole , where the pending question was
a point of order raised against the motion
of Mr. Cooper ( dem. , Tex. ) to substitute for
the senate bill to refer the claim of the
Hook Publishing company of the Methodist
Episcopal church south to the court of
claims , the house bill to adjust tlio whole
claim by the payment of $288,000.
Mr. Payne ( rep. , N. Y. ) , who was In the
chair , sustained the point of order.
.Mr. Grcsvenor ( rep. , O. ) said ho desired
to go on record as totally dissenting from
the ruling of the chair.
After u parliamentary struggle by the
opponents of the measure to delay action
the house bill appropriating $288,000 was
taken up on Mr. Cooper's motion.
Mr. Cooper Immediately moved to lay It
aside with a favorable recommendation.
Mr. Ualzell denounced the bill as an at
tempt to loot the treasury. Twenty-five
years ago , ho sold , this claim was presented
to the house and In a careful , exhaustive
and learned report by the present secre
tary of agriculture ( Mr. Wilson ) , then a
distinguished member of the house , and by
a distinguished democrat ( W. R. Morrison ) ,
the claim was thrown out as unworthy of
the attention of the patriotic representa
tives sent here , not to loot , but Co guard
the treasury.
There was considerable parliamentary
sparring and finally , at 4:55 : p. m. , the
house adjourned without action on the bill.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. Chairman Towno
of the silver republican committee ami A. J.
Warner 'ot 'the , 'Bimetallic league have sent
a reply to the banking and currency com
mittee , relative to- the application of 'Messrs. '
Warner and Towno for a hearing before the
commtttco. The committee eald It would
hear the gentlemen In/ / ( support of any bill
for which they might assume the authorship
and responsibility. The reply says :
We t'nlnk It .proper to advise you and the
committee-of the clrcumstancex under which
the application was made on our l ) luilf for
a hoarinu , At a meetlnpr of the executive
committee of the American JJlmotnlllc union
held In this city on the ISth Inat. Home in
formal discussion waa .hud . respecting cer
tain propositions of currency legislation now
pending bofsre your committee , viz. : Tj.it
of the administration , " commonly referred to
us tlid U'Jgv ' plan , and that of the so-called
monetary commission constituted by the
Indlanapollu sound money convention of u
year use and recommended In ndvando by
the president In his xpeclnl mestigo of July
21 last. The opinion prevailed that thu wide
publication of an cx-inrle position of those
measures by their supporters , such an re
sults from Wo policy governing the hearings
thus far , was calculated to create a wrong
ImpreHHlon and from our Htandpolnt to d )
harm by Klvlng uoneriil circulation to views
on bunking and currency both unscientific
In theory and ruinous In operation. There-
fora a resolution was passed providing that
nn application he made to your honorable
committee for a hearing In behalf of repre
sentatives of the American Bimetallic union.
And wo were designated us auch representa
tives.
Having for many years been pomewliat
familiar with the procedure of congress In
similar cases , we could not anticipate the
refusal of BtiL-h a request , So far as wo arc
u\\-aro , this Is the first time that In a matter
of BO much Importance > i great congres
sional committee , engaged In giving hear-
Inga on a proposition before It , has refused
to accord a full und fair hcarln ? to both
sides , At all events the Important commit
tees of way * and means and coinage ,
weights and measures have uniformly , un
der euch elmimstimc.B , opened their hear
ings to representatives of every ehado of
opinion. Not to our knowledge I ma U ever
before been required ns ft condition prece
dent to iH-ini1 ! Jieiinl that caah witness should
have his own Individual bill Introduced and
referred to the committee. It seemn clear
to us that an fix a requirement la wholly Il
logical and unreasonable , Under U the at-
flrmatlvo would nlwnys"have a monopoly of
the testimony and np person satisfied with
existing ; Inw on any subject could bo heard
against any proposition to change It unless
he should first li.ivo sravely introduced a
bill to keep the law as it is.
In conclusion we bej ; to assure your
honorable committee that it was not the in
tention of the American Bimetallic union
to cuuso them nny embarrassment. Th2
solo purpose of the application was to fur
nish a way whereby the country nt large
mlg'.it ' Icnrn In their appropriate connection
the views held by that numerous body of
citizens who oppose any and all plans to
substitute bank paper for government cur
rency , or to commit the country more thor
oughly to the sold standard.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 21. The senate de-
votej Its principal attention In executive ses
sion today to the nomination , of Attorney
General McKcrina to be a Justice of the su
preme court of the United States. When the
doors were cloaed the Hawaiian treaty was
laid aside in order lo afford opportunity to
consider the McKenna and other nomina
tions. An effort was made to iwcure the con
firmation of the nomination of General Lonp-
street to be commissioner of railroads , but
Senator Vest made- objection to Immediate
action and the nomination went over until
another day. Mr. Vest did not state his ob
jections beyond mentioning the fact that they
wcro cot personal. The nomination of Attor
ney General McKenna was then taken up In
accordance with the agreement reached laot
wjek to dispose of thU nomination today.
Senator Allen immediately took the floor In
continuance of hb attack upon the attorney
general. He presented a largo number of
documents In support of his contention that
Mr. McKerna was not competent to dis
charge the duties of the high ofilce of justice
of the supreme bench.
McKenna waa confirmed by an almost
overwhelming vote.
Senator Allto ojctipled almost the entire
executive session with his speech In oppo
sition to confirmation , though there were
brief remarks by Senators Turner and Wll-
con of Washington , and others favorable to
Mr , MoKoroa. There waa no division on
the vote.
