Morrill, would ask the senator if he
does not think that is legislation
Voorhees, supposed there would be
no question raised about the right TO Of
fer resolution, and by consent of the
senate l desire to submit a few remarks
upon il, not asking for any action on the
resolution.
Morrill, make point against the
resolution; it is out of order"
Senator Ferry commended that the res
olution was matter of legislation and
not in order this session.
Senator Voorhees, said he had no idea
he was running in conflict with any
question of order in offering his propo-
sition. He had been informed that pre-
cedents were that even legislative acts
might be passed here at this sessions and
await the action of the house next SEES
sion. He understood the precedents
stood in that way. He simply desired
to submit a few remarks which would
be in the interest of the people on this
question, and it might be desired on the
other side 10 rule the resolution
ont on a point of order. He
did not know that senator
CoHkling had suggested that the SEN
ator withhold the offer of his resolution
until tomorrow SO as to enable the sena-
tors to look at the pTeeedents and law
on this question. The senator would
lose nothing by doing so. Such resolu-
ton must be addressed to the legislative
duty ADD function of the senate The
senator did not admit, nor did he (Conk-
ling), that in rising to speak in the SEN
ate that senators were speaking to some
body else. Remarks in the senate were
addressed TO the senate. Therefore, if
he were to say he wished to address the
senate on subject which could not in
any way be considered by the senate, it
would be an open admission that he was
using his place in the senate as he
would at the hastings to speak to the
people.
Senator VOORHEES, finally acceded to
the suggestion made by Senator Conk-
ling and withheld the resolution.
The senate then went into executive
session.
When the doors were reopened the
senate adjourned.

CONFIRMED.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 22-The
senate confirmed Henry G. Pearson as
postmaster of New York.
KEW SENATE OFFICERS.
There is some difference of opinion
among the Republican senators in regard
to a choice of senate officers. Arrange
ments were made to elect Democratic
Readjuster and friend of Mahone's, ser.
geant- at-arms, but several Republicans
object TO it, saying if they are going to
elect q Democrat, they might as well let
the Democratic incumbent remain. State
Senator Riddleburgh of Virginia, au.
thor of the bill to reduce and readjusi
state debt is candidate Of Malone, but
cannot be elected unless every Republi.
can senator votes for him. Riddleburgh
| is also objected to because of his record
on the Virginia debt question. 1t is
now regarded as probable that the new
officers may not be elected.
Several Republican senators are re
| ported as saying that the best policy is
to let the election go over until the regu
| lar extra session of congress. Some dis
appointment is expressed here to-day by
anti-Grant Republicans at the stalwart
! character of the nominations for New
| York and Illinois. There is a strong
! 'lndercurrent against an extra session
| though popular clamor seems to favor it
| The president told Republican senator
/
! 4 good many western senators and rep
resentatives oppose it and the financial
interests are also opposed to an extra
session. To-day the opinion of some o
the best informed of the Republican,
was that the session would not be called
but the matter will probably be deter
mined at the cabinet meeting this after
noon.
NOMINATED.

art l.. Woodford, as q. S. attorney 70

DECISION APPROVED.
| WASHINGTON, d. c., March 22-SeC
rotary Kirkwood has approved the de
cision of the commissioner of the lant
Office, that lands embraced in the oil
Cherokee reservation, so-called, nea
Dardenell, Arkansas, are not subject L
entry, and are not included in the gran
to the Little rock and Fit. Smith railroa
company. Congressional legislation t
establish the reservation is suggested
also prior ascertainment of any valid In
dian claims, and that actual settlers Oh
the reservation be protected in thei
homestead rights. Questions relativ
to this reservation have been pendin
before the interior department since 1877
Creditable to Crawford.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-WithIn
few days ex-Gov. Samuel j. Crawfor,
will transmit to the treasurer Of Kansa
a draft for the $192 ,268.27, recently al
propriated by congress with which t
pay that state the amount due to it o
account of % per cent. on net proceed
of public lands sold within Its limits.
This is large sum to go into the schoo
fund of Kansas, and as 1t about close
up one of the important matters confide
to Gov. Crawford by the state authorize
it is a pleasant task to review the resul
of his efficient services.
By his intelligent methods and PEI
slstent efforts Gov. Crawford has, wit
the assistance of the delegation, SUE
ceeded in obtaining decisions that sc
cure to the state of Kansas 265, 900 acre
of selected lands of the valuation @
about 100000. To this add the ''
per cent" fund, which will, when full
settled, amount 10 $400,00o He has ais
secured an allowance of $4,000 on &C
count of military vouchers, making

efforts, and he yet has other matters I
close up for the state.
So entirely successful has Gov. CraW
ford been he will probably conclude Il
devote his future attention to the prose
cution of claims, involving large intel
ests, with the federal government.

Iowa CITY, Ia, March 21.-The RI
publican has unearthed very peculia
case of TannePism. Nothing like it ha
been heard of in this part of the cour
try before. The fact that the lady refel
red to is well known in the community
and that the most reputable physician

following statement: Miss Hattie Due
sister-in-law of DIR. Aylworth of thi
city, has not taken morsel of food 70
twenty-five days, nor has she spoken
word for three years. She ahstained from
food on the ground that it was her relig
ious duty TO do so, and from talking 70
the same reason. The persuation O
friends is useless and she is slowly vast
ing away. Miss Duel is maiden lad
50 years OF age, and has always beef
highly respected.
