luton providing that whenever the house

the same shall be apportionsd among the
states on same basis of division used at the
Forty sixth congress, and now known as the
old method.
Mr.. Bayne, Pa, moved to amend so as to

the beginning Of the "peace policy" the
board OF Indian commissioners say, shows an
increase In production by Indian labor Of

distant when all semi-civilized Indians will be

The Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-After short ex.
eeutive session the anti-polygamy bill was
proceeded with, the question being upon the
eighth section as reported from the judiciary
committee and Senator Morgan addressed the
senate. He asked whether the bill would not
expel from his seat in the house the delegate
from Utah, who was represented to be a
polygamist.
Senator Edmunds said reply to the Inquiry
would be made in due time on behalf of the
committee which reported the bill.
Senator Vest denounced the bill. Every
feature was that OF Dill OF atralnder iinhict-
ing punishment without Judicial triad which
was prohibited by the constitution. He would
not give his vote for the principles of the
bill, though upon his assent should depend
his future official life. He believed it would
substitute for an anti Republican government
in Utah an anti-Republican star chamber ar
rangement.
Senator Pendleton objected TO several fea-
lures of the bill, particularly to the one eX-
GLIDING from the jury box known polygamists
in trials for polygamy, etc. He regarded the
measure for reasons stated, as intended to Sc
cure the punishment of crimes without con-
victlon therefor. He gave notice of amend
ments in these respects.
Senator Sherman said he should vote for the
bill, but doubted its effectiveness. He believed
the time would come, and that 1t was not far
distant, when some of the saints in authority
IN Utah would have new revelation from q
source all would recognize, and that in this
way we would get rid of polygamy by the vol
untary action Of Its supporters.
The removing committee amendments and
several sections of the bill were then agreed
to without further debate, and the bill report
ed to the senate as from the committee of the
whole.
Senator Brown then renewed his amendment
requiring that not more than three Of the
members of the board of commissioners shall
be members of the same political party.
Agreed to on a party yote-yeas 20, nays a.
Senator Davis (Ill) voted aye with the Demo.
Gratis and Malone was absent.
Another amendment offered by Senator
Brown to the last section of the bill was
adopted, prohibiting the board from disfran.
chising any one on account of his opinion on
the subject of blgamy or polygamy.
Senator Salisbury offered and advocated
proposition making the seventh section inap-
plicable to all persons now holding office in
the territory. Defeated after a statement of
Edmunds that such an amendment would
render the bill nugatory.
Several amendments were proposed and de-
feated by decisive votes, and after rearrange-
ment of It's sections the bill passed by viva
voce vote, In which no negative responses were
heard.
The pensio9 arrears resolution was laid over
as unfinished business. Adjourned.3

WARRINGTON, Feb. misrepresentation
Dunnell, chairman of the subcommittee ofthe
ways and means committee, charged with
consideration of the proposed changes in the
internal revenue laws, recently submitted a
number OF questions to the commissioner OF
internal revenue and requested Gen. Raum to
appear before the subcommittee tonight
for the purpose of answering them:
First, a reduction of the tax on distilled
spirits from 90 to rs cents per gallon, would
be equivalent to reduction of revenue of $l0,-
5OO,OOO. II the tax were reduced to 80 cents
the reduction of revenue would be twenty.eight
millions. Second, lowering the tax on malt
liquors to 80 cents would be equivalent to
loss Of revenue of 81, Zoo, 900; to 60 cents, OF
$5.S0O,OO0. Third, a reduction of tax on to-
bacco from ID to IL cents would
to 10 cents, %, 900. Fourth, q reduction of
tax on cigars from So to IS per thousand
would involve reduction of revenue of 81, $685.
600; to "a per thousand %, 8S2 600. II in adj
dition to this the foreign congress should take
of the taxes on bank checks, matches and
proprietary medicines, ETC., the additional de.
auction of taxation would be 81 1854, 1886. In
other words there would be grand total re-
duction on lower scale of $3S 1858 $3.50, or on
the higher scale Of se4, os6, $50. The commits
sioner further informed the subcommittee
that Q reduction of special taxes,
say 40 per cent, would be
equal to $3,750,406 If this should be decided
upon the aggregate of all reductions of rev.
enue above specified would DO as follows:
Upon the lower scale of inquiries of 81, 1884,
2S6; upon the higher scale of inquiries of
$67 $751;, 1856. The calculations are based upon
collections for the fiscal year 1881. The col
lections during seven months of the present
fiscal year compared with the same per cent.
OF the last fiscal year show an increase
OF $S3 1884,, 900, which has not been con-

Gov. Sprague Defends his Property VITA Ok
Chains and Rifles.

Nndins anu hlHcss
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Cor: There was
a great scene at the auction sale of Cam
onchet, the home of Rhode Island war
like Governor, Sprague, recently
1t was supposed that he would
deny the legality of Treasurer Chaffee
and the proceeding in ordering the sale
and a crowd assembled to witness de-
velopments. Mr. Conkling, however,
did not put in an appearance. At day
break his son Willie and Mr. Macomber,
the farm hand. were busily at work in
tearing up the bridge leading from the
main road to the front drive way. The
front and back gates had also been
closed and secured with large OK chains
and when those who were personally in
terested in the sale of the property ar
rived at the estate they found every
avenue of approach closed. The mo-
ment the auction began, Patton, coun-
sci for Sprague, interrupted, and Chaffee
gave him the lie direct and was profane
in the course of a lively colloquy. This
over, Mr. Hall, the auctioner, invited
the crowd to get over the gate and come
across the bridge where it was shady.
They followed him across by walking
over the stringers, and were about to
pass tothe grounds when Willie Sprague
suddenly appeared in the road mounted
on horse. He cried, Haltr' The
The order was not obey ed, whereupon
the war Governors son put his hand on
his pistol, following which the process
ion stopped Those interested in the
sale stood on the strringers of the Dies
troyed bridge with the auctioneer, and
the bidding began. While the sale was
in progress, Governor Sprague occupied
the front piazza of his house with a rifle
in hand awaiting any advance of the
enemy. Henry Hidden, a Providence
man, started the bidding at $40, 900, and
it was run up TO S62. 500 and pur-
chased at that figure by Francis ID.
Moulton, the ''mutual friend of the
Beecher-Tilton row. As to what Mr.
Moulton will do with the property moth
ing definite is known at this writing
1t is reported that he represents a com
bination Of spectators who propose to
cut up the estate into houSe-lots and
convert the elegant mansion into sum
mer boarding house. He can take pos
session IN ten days, but whether he will
do so or not is not known. Judging
from the attitude ofex-Governor Sprague
to-day, it would not be a particularly
pleasant duty to enter the grounds and
take possession while the "War Cover
nor of Rhode Island is there Wheth-
er he will soften and allow the law to
take its course time alone can tell, but
it is generally feared that there will be
trouble before Ex-Governor Sprague will
allow himself to be dispossesscd of his
home, as that gentleman plainly says
he will shoot all intruders.
