at a meeting of the House com
mittee on public lands, Scales with
drew his revolution, offered yester-
day, providing for the forfeiture OF
lands alongside the portion of the
Northern Pacific railroad not com
pleted TO date. He said he had IN
derstood the power of Congress to
forfeit the land of the Northern Pa
cifc had been waived, but on ex-
animation into the legal aspect of
the case he found he had a wrong
impression.
Anderson then withdrew the reso.
luton offered Dy him yesterday
which provided for the forfeiture of
the land not earned within the time
specified by the act making the
grant of July Il, 1879, and offered a
substitute providing that all grants,
except unpatented lands, be for
feited.
Straight moved to amend the cub.
stitute so as to provide that only
lands opposite the unconstrucJed
line from Wallula to Portland, be
forfeited. The amendment was lost
on a viva voce vote.
Van Eaton offered an amendment
providing for the forfeiture Of the
entire grant. This was los', by 4

then lost by a vote of 8 to s.
Henley rene wed his original reso-
luton, offered by Anderson, and
which provided for the forfeiture Of
all land not earned in the time spe-
cited by the act. The vote on the
proposition was to 4, Cobb, Pay
son, Anderson, Henley, Straight,
Lomis and Scales voting aye, and
Bedford, Oates, VanEaton and shaw
nay. In preparing the bill declaring
the forfeiture, the committee pro
posed treating purchasers from the
railroad company as though they
were purchasers from government.
Members of the committee say 53I
miles from Duluth to Bismarck were
completed in the time specified In
the act of July 14th, 1879, and that
about $500, 900 acres will be forfeited
if the bill passes as prepared by the
committee.

Another Tariff Bill.

Washington, 28.-At meeting OF
the eight Democratic members of
the ways and means committee, it
was unanimously agreed to report a
substitute for the Morrison tariff

Kasson regretted the Incidents re
ferred to::were to be made in any de,
gree subject for debate. In his
opinion the house will better con
suit its dignity by waiting till some
official communications have
reached 1T that improper comment
had been made upon its action.
Wncn it was Informed that the

embrace more thorough system in

and giving the committee leave to
report at any time.
Calkins, of Indiana, inquired
whether in the present state of
business the effect of this resolution
would not be to kill the bill en-
tirely?
Randall denied empbatically that
such would be its effect. Randall
demanded the yeas and nays; the
resolution was rejected, yeas 1879,
nays 145, so the House refused to
recon- init the bill. The bill then
passed, yeas 155, nays 127.

The Floods.

Shreveport. La, 2S.-The water
is on a stand. Nearly all the river
plantations for 100 miles above the
city are under water-s Below the
city the flooded district extends
ninety miles on the west side, aud
all except few elevated places are
covered. On the east side, the
banks being higher, the country
is not so badly overlooked,
though several plspta ions are IN
der water. 1t is impossible to ap-
prOximate the loss TO planters in
houses, fences and stock. The
waters spread out like see to the
s~amps and highlands. There is
much suffering among the colored
people.

HOUSE.

Washington, 2S.-Deustsr, rising
to question OF privilege, sent to the
Clerks desk and had read q resolu
ton adopted by the executive com
mittes OF the liberal uui0n of the
German Parliament, expressing its
appreciation OF the action of the
House o. Reprssen' atives in adopt
ing the resolution as 30 Herr Ed
ward LaSker.
The speaker stated that the ques
ton was not one of privilege but by
unanimous consent Deaster was
permitted to continue. He said the
executive committee Of the liberal
union expressed the sentiments of
the people of Germany. The spee-
tacle now presented was peculiar IS
seen through American eyes. Prince
Bismarck, the autocrat OF the Ger
man Empire, was the embodiment
OF an idea sntagonistic to American
institutions. He had returned the
Lasker resolution. This might stand
to prejudice the German people, but
the resolution of the liberal union
contradicted, that assumption from
a cis-Atlantic standpoint. Death
broke down all political feeling and
in the presence Of the open grave
the universal Brotherhood OF men
was the inspiration of the hour. The
same was true OF the Germans as
people, and if they were misrepre-
scented by a man In place of DO yer
they had no other method II
setting themselves right before
the world than by resolutions.
la presenting this resolution in his
official place as a member of this
body, as native O. Germ any and
au adopted citizen CT the United
States, he desired to express his
earnest conviction that the action
Of the Liberal Union was the
true feeling of Germany, and that
the action Of Prince Bismarck would
not rise above the dignity of a mat
ter of personal vexation, in no wav
affecting the friendly relations now
existing between the two nations.
It might be premature now to criti.
else the action of Prince Bismarck.
but when official information there
OF was in possession of the House
he would endeavor to show that the
Lasker resolutions were kind and
proper.
GuentEer denied that the reople
Of Germany were hostile to this
country, or its institutions, or that
the letter of Prince Bismarck re-
turning the Lasker resolutions re.
f1ected the sentiment of that people.

Salaal Morse.

New YORK, 2S.-The inquest OIL
Salmi Morse's body was resumed
this morning. Mary G. Blackburn
continued her testimony. She sait
Morse had been suffering from hem
orrhsge of the lungs. He oftsn toll
me he was tired of life; said this T.
me many timess did not pay mucf
ttention to it This was after TIT
"Pa=sion Play" was very despon
dent. He received a email pension
every month; a few days before BIZ
death he had been to hjs physician
She was then examined on her tes-
timony given yesterday, snd said she
had nothing fu ther to say and was
excused.
DR.. Conway was the next wit
ness. He said he bad examined the
body of Morse; that death wss due
to drowning; there are some slight
marks on the face. probably caused
by striking against the rocks.
Thomas Mckinney testified thai
he had known Morse and Mary
Blackburn three months; had been
on friendly terms with them until
within a week, when they had a
difficulty about theatrical matters.
He acknowledged going to Mary
Blackburn's on the night before the
death of Morse He found Morse
and Miss Blackburn there in a
questionable position. Morse i'm
meiiately left the room. [ never
struck him in my life. [ remained a
few minutes talking with Miss
Blackburn, then went to the Leaf
ing House, stopped there until six
o'clock Friday morning, when re-
turned to Miss Blackburn'S; she ad-
mitted to me that che wanted to see
me on theatrical business; did not
mention Morse.
Mckinney later corrected his
testimony by saying the janetress
had a light aud the room was not
as dark as he at fist stated. He
called the attention of the janetress
to positions of Miss Blackburn and
Morse, saying to her-"Mary, l
want you as a witness in this
scene." The Janitress heard him
call Morse an old Racial. After
his second call on Miss Blackburn
he went to Harlem street; it was
after 6 o'clock. He had no un-
pleasantness with Miss Blackburn
on the evening of the 21st, beyond
a few words in reference to mort
gage which bis lawyer wanted to
get on stage properties. The lawyer
said he could get 81, 900 on them.
Miss Blackburn told him he had no
right to do anything there, because
everything had been purchased in
her name, and he answered her to
the effect that the question would |
have to be tested before any money
could be raised on the property.
Counsel for Miss Blackburn de-
ii ed to examine McGivney as to |
The character of his client, who
had been attacked, but the coroner
iecided that the only way in
which his testimony could be re-
outte9 was to recall Miss Black
1arn. This was done, and she ex-
planned their difficulty over the
money transaction. She denied, in
he most emphatic manner, the
ruth OF the remainder of his tess
imoHy, relating to her relations
With Morse.

He wanted to see America ready to
resent any insults that might be
heaped upon her, come from What
quarter they might.
Bayard reviewed the action Of
Congress the last few years In re-
gard to the navy and continued tina,
1t was impossible for q Senator to
Ignore the fact that there was, for
one reSson or another, a great deal
OF dlstrust in the head Of the navy
department.. In the opinion Of many
men, the Presidents selection as in
cumbent for that position, was not
wise one. This was not ques.
ton Of a personal assault, but or the
fitness of a person for a place.
There was nothing In the anteced
ents or requirements of the indi-
vldual referred to that rendered his
selection wise. He (Bayard) would
be reluctant to give pain to any
man, but these were public cues
lions and should be discussed in q
plain, open and public manner. 1t
was in no other spirit he referred to
this subject. 1t was partly for this
reason that Congress placed restric-
lions upon the building OF ships
now in course of construction.
Hale here remarked that he had
given notice of an amendment to
the pending bill, which would
throw the protection of the acts of
1882 and 1888 around the ships cow
The amendment reducing the
number OF proposed ships from seven
to four was defeated, yeas II, nays

provides the conditions under which
the contracts should be made, Hale
offered the amend ment above get
forth.
Sewell offered as a substitute for
Doth, an amendment Iro idlng that
vessels be built 1T one or more gov
