House of Representatives.

CONTINUATION OF WEDNESDAYS SESSION.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-At 10 to-day the
House, resuming the Wednesday session, went
into committee of the whole and continued
discussion of the legislative appropriation bill.
Mr. Scales supported the proposed repeal on
the ground that the laws as they now stood
were unconstitutional and dangerous to the
liberties of the people. The Democratic party
was right upon this question and he would, II
he could, write upon the sky itself that all
men might see it, that that party stood up
to-day
IN FAVOR OF FREE ELECTIONS.
Mr.. Davis, of North Carolina supported the
position the Democrats had taken. They said
the army should not be used as political ma
chine for the benefit of the Republican party,
while that party said that unless the army
could be so used the army must starve. That
was the only issue presented. Abiding to the
speech of MIR. Burrows, in which he inquired
how long it would be before slavery was re-es.
tablished, Mr.. Davis said that it would be at
tempted as soon as the Republican party found
it to be tolls interests to establish it, but when
that time came the South would stand up and
say, ''This is one of the things you cannot dc" )"
Mr.. Cobb argued there was no constitutional
power upon which election laws could rest.
MIR. Gillette said that he did not consider that
there was any pressing necessity for placing the
proposed legislation the appropriation bill
and he should therefore vote to strike it out
but if it was retained, he would vote for pas

GENERAL CAPITAL NEWS.

TRYING TO PROVOKE INDIAN HosTnITIIs
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The interior depart
ment entirely discredits and ridicules the story
of Salusken, the Indian prisoner, telegraphed
from Washington Territory, felative to the al
legged treachery of Chief Moses last summer.
The department has the amplest evidence from
civil and military officers of the entire falsity
of the statement, which is attributed by the
department to desire on the part of the
Washington to provoke hostilities, in order to
lead to the expenditure of money by the gov
ernment and produce, as they express it, q
showing of greenbacks. The Indian bureau
some time since received advices from re-
sponsible party that every effort would be
made by certain white men in this locality to
provoke Indian hostilities with this end in
view. The story about Chief Moses is the re-
vlval of an old canard of last summer, investi-
gated and disproved at the time.

He Don't Know the Town and is Taken
in and Done for by Burglars.
Sergeant West, of the Minneapolis police, ac-
companied by M. Wilk, of the same place,
called at police headquarters yesterday morning
that city the night before. Mr. M. Wilk and
brother, b. Wilk, were the victims to the ex.
tent of quite lot of valuables. They
do combined jewelry and gents furnishing
business at No. 227 Washington avenue.
Thursday night their store entered from
the rear; window pane in the back door hav-
ing been broken, entrance gained and pro-
miscuous robbery followed. The burglars had
it all their own way unmolested
and helped themselves bountifully to the con-
tents of the store, not being choice as to quail
| ity, but prodigal in quantity. When the Wilk
brothers got to their store, yesterday morning
at clock, they found they were losers of the
following big lot of articles:
Twelve sets of ladies jewelry, ten bracelets;
fifteen sets coral jewelry; six nickel plated
| watch chains; twelve sets of shirt studs; twelve
pairs sleeve buttons; two pairs of pants; three
dozen silk handkerchiefs; one dozen figured
meerschaum cigar holders; half dozen same,
plain; six meerschaum pipes; twelve white and
colored shirts; one dozen silk neckties and va
rious other minor articles. Fortunately the most
valuable jewelry was placed in safe, which
the burglars did not attempt to open. The
money drawer was broken into, but nothing
obtained.
Suspicion is directed to certain parties.
whose accurate description Sergeant West left
with the chief of police here. Sergeant West
believes the operatives were rough workers and
new to the business. They didn't show the
work of experts in getting in, and that they
were new at the business was shown by the
goods they stole, when others more valuable
were just as handy. In other words, there are
good reasons for believing that the burglars be.
long either to the tramp fraternity are are
home folks venturing in new line of business
for the first time. Anticipating that the
thieves might try to dispose of their plundez
| here, Sergeant West, under Capt. Clarke's
guidance, made a tour of inspection, but dis
covered nothing.
Mr.. Wilk is SO Mortified at the fact of the rob.
berry that he can't reckon up in dollars and
cents how much he has lost. But it's enough te
make him sick, and he couples this condition
of mind by saying he only came to Minneap-
olisa few weeks ago. Before he'd been in
the oil regions of Pennsylvania, and such .
thing had never happened to him even in that
lawless section. By this time Mr.. Wilk realizes
the fact that he should have settled in st.
Paul, where the police don't allow such things

The Entertainment Last Nighttime. Gale
Makes a Speech and Sails into the Cor
don PinafOre.
A few minutes before tho curtain rose for
the performance of Il. M. 8. Pinafore, at the
Opera House, last night, the audience was sur
prised by the appearance, in front of the STAGE
reasons why it was necessary to explain
certain deficiencies before the pres
entation of the opera Mr.. Gale first apollo
gized for tho absence of orchestra, explain
ing that he had arranged with Professor Seibert
few days since to furnish the music for the
supposed, an understanding with MI. Gordon
whereby he was to have the score used at the
Pinafore presentations in this city last week.
Mr.. Gale then stated that he had received
dispatch from Prof. Ssibert, Friday, announc-
ing that Mr.. Gordon refused to let him have
| the score, whereupon Mr.. Gale telegraphed to
Chicago for the music, which, owing to de-
| lay did not arrive in time for the performance.
| At o clock yesterday afternoon note was
! received from Mr.. Gordon stating that the
| company could have the use of the music
| which was received too late, however, to notify
be gotten together the offer being returned
with thanks. Mr.. Gale then adverted to the
Gordon card, published last Tues lay, charging
| the company with endeavoring to anticipate
| the Davidson-Buckelew benefit. In explana-
tion of this change, Mr.. Gale stated that up to
the first of the week he was not aware that such
a performance was contemplated, in proof of
which he cited the fact of Mr.. Davidson's pass
ing Saturday night at his residence in Mime
| apolis, but he had not heard at that time of any
such project.
After Mr.. Gale had retired the curtain rose
to large and appreciative audience, and, con.
sidered from an artistic standpoint, the enter
tainment is entitled to rank 3 most agree
able and decided success.
The different vocal requirements of the lead
ing female roles were executed In highly
artistic and captivating manner and the sur
passing quality of several of the principal
voices would require columns of comment t.
render adequate justice, while comparisons ART
manifestly uncalled for.

finished and satisfactory manner and the voca
