the accusations against Voorhees,, disclaim-
ing any responsibility, adding that his state.
ments had been greatly exaggerated and mis-
represented.
Beck advocated the bill, as based on the
true principle of taxation, namely, consllmp-
tion. He did not believe that any ring was
intended.
Personal interchanges followed between
Window and Beck, in which the latter pro-
fessed belief that Windem's remarks were
aimed at members of the Senate as partici
pants in the ring, which was disclaimed OF
the part of the Senator from Minnesota.
Window then withdrew the amendment till
TO- o-morrow, and the resolution was postponed.
Davis raised q breeze by remarking upon
the resolution to purchase some back numbers
of the Congressional Record that it was the
practice of Congressman to work up the trade
by selling copies of the Government books to
second hand dealers, aud then vote to buy
them back.
Window, Ransom and others said this
charge involved the honor of the members,
and should be investigated.

tion of the woods and forests of the natural
domain adjacent to nsvigable rivers.

into Conmittee of the Whole on the Tariff
Commission bill.
Kasson said he hoped to get vote on Sat-
urday.
Hatch of Missouri entered into the consid-
GRAFTON of the general question of the tariff,
opposing the protective features, and partic-
ularly declaring his hostility TO the duty laid
upon the importation of salt.
Lane of Maryland, speaking to the Dem
ocratic side. in concluding his remarks, said {:
will vote with you against this bill or for
this bill, and then l will vote with you for
any amendment that brings this House to the
principles of the tariff of 1886 and will go
to the country on that issue, and l have no
doubt we shall have the support of the
people,"
Morrison OF Illinois, member of the
Committee on Ways and Means, opposed the
pending bill, because he believed if it became
3 law it would support the general principles
of the existing tariff. If the proposed Com
mission reported plan which would reduce
duties, it would find its cemetery in the Ways
and Means Committee.room, and would
never be submitted to the House. The protec.
tionists admit that in all else save the cost of
labor our manufacturers could compete with
the world. A reduction of the tariff for
revenue purposes would benefit the manu-
facturer to the extent that it chespened the
cost OF material labor, and to the extent that
it cheapened the necessaries of life, while the
importers must levy more duties on imported
goods than the manufacturer paid for the
labor in making domestic goods. He then
proceeded to make an elaborate argument in
opposition to tariff for protection, and to
show that while enriching the few it increased
the cost of living to the many.
The committee rose and the House ad.
journed.
Forsyth Complimented.
CHICAGO, May 4th.-The following dis
patch, forwarded to-day. will indicate the way
stock is taken by the Lieutenant. General in
the charges and insinuations against Colonel
Forsyth:
CHICAGO, May 4th-12:15 p NJ
General John Pope, Fort leavenworth, Kansas
The Lieutenant General commanding desires to ex.
press to you his great qualification at the successful
results obtained from the indefatigabe pursuit Of
the hostile Apaches by Lieutenant Colonel George
A. Forsyth and his command He believes the re
suit obtained Is due to the careful management OF
Colonel Mackenzie in the district of New Mexico
and Leutenant-Colonel FORSYTH in keeping scouts
in Mexico to watch the movements OF the Indians,
and by arriving at special understanding for CO.
operation with the Mexican military commanders on
the border. The Lieutenant General orders es-
pecially his thanks to LieutenantColonel Forsyth
and the officers and men of his command and the
officers and men Of Major Tupper's command.

VI. L. Church south-Gencral Conference.
NASHVILLE Tenn. May 4th.-Ths Cen
eral Conference of the M. E. Church South
convened in this city to-day, ard will hold its
sessions in the Hall of Representatives at the
Capitol. II is delegated body, consisting
of representatives from the forty Annual
Conferences of the Church, Each Annual
Conference sends to the General Conference
one clerical delegate for every thirty.six
members, and an equal number of lay dele
gates. The General Conference meets quad.
rennially. An interesting part of the pro.
ceedings of the Conference will be the cleo
tion of the new Bishops. Those most promi.
nently mentioned at this time, and from
among whom the two, four or six new Bishops
that may be elected are almost certain to be
taken, are A. w. Wilson. d. D., the present
, A. VI.
Haygood, D. D., President of Emory Col.
lege, Georgia J. G. Granbery, d. D., Pro-
fessor in Vanderbilt University; 4. r. Hen
dirk, of st. Louis o. P. Fitzgerald, D. D.,
editor Christian Adrocdte; Linus Parker, ID.
D., editor New Orleans Adrocate B. NJ.
Messick, d. D., of Louisville, KY; w. V.
Tudor, of st. Louis, and q. G. Andrews, ID. D.,
President of Centenary College, Louisiana.
A popularity in the outlook for elections to
the Episcopal office at this time is that the
eyes of the Church are turned with strange
unanimity and ixedness of gaze toward
young men-men who may reasonably be
expected to have before them many years of
hard service. Three, at least, of the nire
gentlemen named are not yet 40. and these
seem at present to have the greatest certainty
of carrying off the prize. The question of
union with the Church North will come be-
fore the Conference in come form, though
exactly how, or with what result, cannot be
foretold. On the part of the great bulk of
the members of the two Churches there is
apparently no strong desire for unity. and it
is question if an immediate organic union
of the two bodies would be generally accepta-
BILE either North or South. But in both
Churches prominent men are agitating the
subject, and the General Conference Of the
Church South conveniDg SO soon after the
London Ecumepical, this question ia sure to
have place in its deliberations.
The Rumored Indian Outbreak in wy.
Oming.
OMAHA, May 4tb.-The rumor of an out
break of the Bannocks and Shoshones is dis
credited at the army headquarters here. No
official information has been received, while
if the report was true it would have been sent
from Washakie, unless the wires were cut
Besides, the army officers believe that Chief
Washakie, of the Shoshones, is friendly to
the whites, and has his tribe in check.
CHICAGO, May 4tb.-A Washing gton special
SAYS The reports of trouble in Wyoming
Territory by the Snake and Bannock Indi-
ans are considered here much more serious
than the Arizona troubles. The Snakes and
Bsnnocks are about COO strong, and very
sbr.wd, hard fighters, and If the reports that
they have determined upon an outbreak are
not exaggerated, it may take q considerable
force to put them down.
OMAHA (Neb), May 4th.-General Nc.
Cook has received no further information
concerning the reported outbreak of the
Snakes and Bannocks at Fort Washakie,
wyoming, and knowing the friendly charac-
ter OF these Indians, he does not believe that
there is really anything serious. Fort
Washakie will be entirely ungarrisoped until
the arrival of company of the Sixth In
fantry from Fort Douglass, Utah. They
cannot reach Fort Washakie till early next
week. However. considerable alarm prevails
over last nights report, and the settlers are
preparing for an emergency.
