partment 10 investigate the Office Of the Sergeant
alarms Of this House. There is not syllable
Of truth in the statement nor a gleam OF war.
rant for 1t. First, know nothing whatever OF
the action Of the sergeant-at:arms In the dis
charge Of his duties that needs investigation
second, have never had any conference what
ever with Mr.. Glover on the subject, nor have
directly or indirectly had any communication
with him. l think 1t is due to the Sergeans'at
arms to state this. If | myself were the only
one involved l never would have noticed 1t,
but as the statement reflects perhaps on the hon:
esty, fidelity and honor Of another, at once and
promptly give this contradiction"
Mr.. Blackburn, from Committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia, reported back the bill relat.
ing to the Washington Market Company which
was briefly discussed, and without action the

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC ROAD.

Mr. Mitchell called up the Senate bill extend.
ing the time to construct and complete the North
ern Pacific railroad. In explanation of the bill
he spoke of the importance Of completing the
road, and said the Northern Pacific would be a
competing line to the Central and Union Pacific
roads, and would check the spirit Of monopoly.
He argued that the bill gave ample protection
to all settlers. besides opening lands to settle
ment.
Mr.. Window also spoke in favor of the bill. and
said it reduced the land grant to the Northern
Pacific road some seven million acres The North
ern Pacific Railroad Company presented to Con-
gress a stronger case than was usually presented by
Corporations coming to Congress asking favOrs It
came with clean hands. The company as 1t exis.
ted to-day was in no sense speculative Organiza.
ton The stockholders had put their money In
the road with the desire Of completing 1t as soon
as possible. he argued the road would constitute
the shortest line across the continent and would
unite the great lakes with the Pacific ocean. The
fertile country through which the road passed,
and especially the valley Of the Red river Of the
North, would rapidly be settled. The completion
of the road would do much to prevent Indian
wars in that section, as the war whoop of the saw
age was never heard within the sound Of the 10.
cOmotiVe whistle,
Mr. Lamar also favored the passage Of the bill,
and after some further discussion the further
confederation of the bill was postponed until to-
morrow.
The Senate then resumed the consideration Of
bills on the calendar.

made to touch, such cases. II can come into
operation only when by the iaao OF State a

the fifteenth amendment, which guarantees
to negroes the right to vote, and was in
tended to compel the southern States to ex-

It was hoped that it would enable Congress

three-tifths OF the negroes. Mr.. PAGE is a
