HOUSE

WASHINGTON, December 16.-Brown
(Ind.) offered a resolution changing the
rules so as to provide that leave to print
IN the Record shall be allowed only
when the question is under considera-
tion. Referred.
Onmotion OF Norwood(G Ga. J. the Senate
bill passed; removing the Political disa-
bilities of Alexander r. Lawton, OF GA.
Discussion of the proposed revision of
the rules was resumed and Herbert
(Ala). took the floor with an argument
in favor of the general feature OF the
revision, but in opposition 70 the plan
of distributing the work of the appropri-
alton committee. That committee
should remain in charge of the money
bills, but all power should be taken
away from it to incorporate In the gen.
eral legislation.
Hiscock. member of the committee on
rules, presented the reasons which had
impeiled him to agree to the report OF
the majority. Gentlemen who opposed
the distribution feature did so on the
theory that q majority of the House
could not be trusted with a chance to
get at the public treasury. They
Sought to disguise this argument by de-
cIaring that the committee, when organ
iaed, would attempt to aggrsndize its
power and IN illustration a gentleman
from Pennsylvania (RandalD had pre-
pared a table showing a large in
crease of appropriation carried by the
river and harbor bill since that
measure had been taken away from the
appropriation committee. This was
hardly ingenious. for, In point OF fact,
the Hill had practically never been I'M

Sv the commerce committee. He His

RESPONSIBILITIES nor sharing in its labors
and its leadership. He was OPP

on TO argue that if the appropriation

bills were distributed. they could all be
reported within thirty days of the or
ganization of the committees.
6lscock spoke with much earnest
ness, and at the conclusion of his
speech was appIauded and congratu-
lated by his party colleagues. He was
followed by Holman, of Indiana, with
an argument in opposition to the aboli-
ton OF the clause OF the rule known as
the Holman amendment which ena-
bles legislation to be engrafted on the
appropriation bills if it Is in the inter-
est OF economy. He maintained that
before the adoption OF this amendment,
general legislation was placed in nearly
every appropriation bill. and generally
In the direction of extravaganza. He
quoted from & debate on the point of
order raised ny him in the Forty-second
Congress, when proposition was made
to increase the Presidents salary, to
show that the point was overruled.
though the rule then was identical with
that recommended by the committee on
rules 10 day.
Burrows, (Michigsn), suggested that
II the gentleman would read further he
would find that the House had sus-
tanned an appeal from the decision Of
the Chair.
Holman admitted that it was
true, but he called attention to
the fact that when it was
proposed to increase the great body OF
salaries, the proposition was ruled in
order. and legislation has been framed
which had been condemned by the
whole country. He went on to urge
that the Holman amendment, instead
of having been an evil, as had been CON
ceded by its enemies, had saved to the
people who paid taxes of many millions
OF dollars. After warming the Demo
cratic party not to exchange the rule
which prohibited legislation, except in
the interest OF economy, for one which
would ALLOW legislation which would in
crease expenditures, he passed on to the
question. which he considered only
Of secondary Importance, of whether
the appropriations bills should be
distributed
Holman thought the gentleman from
New York would hardly have gwen
that answer, though he could find any
attempt made By that gentleman to
dethrone himself from control. After
speeches BY Wellborn, OF Texas, and
Blount, OF Georgia the House, without
continuing the general debate adjourn

Northern Paci C Lands.

WASHINGTON, December 16.-Inquiry
at the General Land Office to-day con-
corning the recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court, by which the
treasurer of Trail County, Dakota, is
enjoined from collecting taxes upon the
lands granted TO the Northern Pacific
Railroad, elected substantially the fol-
lowing statement:
In 1870, when making an appropria-
ton for the survey OF the lands granted
to the Northern Pacific Company,
Congress added the prOvisO that be-
fore the title shall pass from
the government there shall first
be paid into the Treasury
of the United States the cost of sur
veying, selecting and conveying the
same by the company or party IN inter
est. The Northern Pacific Company
has never asked for or received patents
upon lis lands in Dakota, but has left
the title in government, thereby re-
lieving the company from the cost Of
making the surveys, and from the bur
den of local taxation. 1t IS further said
by the General Land Office Of
ficialS that even If Congress should
declare the forfeiture of the entire
Northern Pacific land grant, for alleged
noncompliance with some of the terms
of the charter, bona tide settlers would
in no manner suffer, as his claim is held
TO be superior to all others. and that
hardship would result only to The land

DUEL IN THE DARK

Two shots fired in rapid succession rang
out on the still midnight air. alarming the
inhabitants of the Fifth ward. Had some
one been shot, killed or wounded, Twas
with bated breath and hesitating footsteps
that the reporter fastened TO the scene of
the supposed tragedy. When he arrived on
the scene the smoke had cleared away and
the pistol of one party had been laid aside,
and the other party-had gone. An IN
vestigation revealed the fact that it was II
sure enough shooting affair, ard If remained
for the reporter to trace out the bullet holes
The shooting had occurred at the store OF
T. ii. Lynch, formerly owned by
J. b. Rutledge, on Chicago avenue. At the
time il occurred two men employed by the
proprietor occupied it-one his son. Charley
Lynch. and the other James McLeoud.
About IL or ! O'Clock a man stepped to a
back window and called to the parties with
in: a have come to kill you, you are the

bed and spoke, when he heard pistol cock;

took effect just at the side of McIeoud's
head in the side of the room. and his shot

house, when it fell harmless on the floor.
The would-be assassin fled, and TO this hour
he is not known.
1t is assumed that the former proprietor
of the store was being looked for by the
| stranger for some fancied wrong, and that
the bullet shot at McLeoud was intended for
him. At any rate woman Is said to be

RAIN. CROPS. AND OTHER MATTERS

Mr.. Howard Soule. who has just returned
from tour of the western counties, was IN
the city yesterday, and in conversation with
an EAGLE reporter gave his views at length
on the crop and business prospects.
The recent copious rains, which were
pretty general, have enriched this par; OF the
state BY millions OF dollars, said Mr.. SouIe'
"out through the western counties the ram
fall has been greater than in the Arkansas
valley. was out through Finney county,
and at Garden City, where usually
there is very little rain and the roads we're
quite muddy"
"The crops are simply immense, said MT
Soulc. YOU cannot travel over so much ter
ritory in any other state in the Union with
out finding some section where the crops
are partial failure, but in southwestern
Kansas it is one unhroken field, as You
might say, of the most luxurious crops and
that in many places where nothing has beer
done but to turn the sod over on the seed
There is but one thing TO hinder al this section
becoming suddenly rich, and that one ieins
is better markets. Low figures for ou'
product is the only drawback, and If al
those proposed lines of railroad which In
EAGLE is striving with might and main Il
push forward are built, thus opening con
nection with the great marts OF the nortf
and south, rcnumers.ive prices for ou'
produc, and cheaper goods Will be the re
suit. and thus the one barrier TO the rapi'
accumulation OF wealth in this section
removed and with continuation Of on
bountiful harvests southwestern Kansas VII
become immensely rich.
