18th Congress---Second Session.
WASHINGTON, January ', 1885.

WASHINGTON, January ', 1885. SENATE.-Mr. Plumb presented a memori- al from the Oklahoma settlers, complaining of their expulsion by the army of the United States and asserting that this action was taken in the interes6 of certain cattle syn dicate, who without authority of law had fenced in these lands and were using them. They prayed that Oklahoma might be organ ized as a territory. MT. Plumb sustained their request and urged that the Committee on Indian Affairs should decide at the earli- est date whether these lands should be opened to settlement or not.
 The House joint resolution approprating $50, 900 for the relief of certain destitute In dians in Montana territory was taken up and passed.
 MT. Morrill, called up his anti-Spanish treaty resolution including the debate being an open one He did not think senators should discuss such questions with padlocked lips He argued that the President, with the consent of two thirds of the Senate, could make treaties, but he had no power to regu- late commerce with foreign nations or to abridge the public revenue. The supposition that the President could constitu- tionally exercise such powers if two- thirds of the Senate subsequently consented thereto was simply whipping his satanic majesty around the stump" It was only by secrecy before as well as during legislation that such treaties could be rightfully made. Congress could not give the executive its power of attorney in advance to make tar if by treaty. In addition to the constitu- tional objection to reciprocity treaties they were objectionable from policy. The experience of other nations taught us to let them alone. It was said we must do something to build up our foreign commerce. To this he agreed. But to do this it strangely proposed to surrender much more of our markets at home than we were offered from abroad. He ia vored steamship subsidies and other encour- agement to American shipping and an ex- tended and improved consular service as more likely to build up our commerce than any so-called reciprocity treaty. He charac- terized the reciprocity proposed as the ex- change of the American Lexington or Jay Eye See for Mexican mustang or stump tailed mule.
 At the close of MT. Morrill's speech MT. Lapham gave notice that he also would ad- dress the Senate on the subject of com mercial treaties tomorrow morning.
 The Senate resumed consideration of the intsr-State commerce bill. In the course of

THE BROKEN JAW.
How The Accident To The Farren Hoy Happened-Not The Result Oi Teacher Loveland's Temper.

The accident by which James Farren'a jaw was broken in the Grand street school, as reported in yesterdays COURIER, appears to have been the result of an accident quite remarkable and unforeseen. Mr. Loyeland says that the Farren boy and another boy sitting with him were disorderly and he went behind them and shook them, but did not beat their heads together as alleged. When he let go of them Dormans head fell over and struck Farren on the face, breaking the upper portion of the jaw bone on the left side of the face. He took the injured boy out and Dr. Gilbert was called. MT. Love land expresses great regret at the accident and says he did all he could do for him when it was done.
 Farrens father is not disposed to blame the teacher and thinks the affair was acci- dental
 MT. Loveland has taught with acceptabili- ty for many years. He is not man who loses his temper.
 The boy was suffering yesterday consider able pain and had vomited excessively, not being able to keep anything upon his stom- ach. He can eat nothing but liquid food as he is unable to move his jaws. The swell ing of the face has all gone away and in the opinion of Dr. Gilbert the injury will soon heal owing to the youth of the boy

He pursued and grasped her throat, whereupon she grasped 32 caliber revolver from drawer. He grasped the barrel. The weapon was discharged, the ball entering Staeey's head near the ear, killing him iR-- stantly.
