SENATE.

!. + 81 . q f-
WASHINGTON, Jan. % %. The Oklahoma
resolutions of Senators Vest and Plumb
was placed before the senate. *
Senator Vest withdrew his resolution.
In doing so he took occasion to say that
there could be no doubt whatever that
as the laws stood, Oklahoma lands could
not at this time be subject to settlement
by the white people.
Senator Plumb's resolution calling on
the president for his views as to the
present status of the Okolahoma land was
then agreed to.
Senator Vest then offered his resolu-
ton directing the secretary of the treas
ury to ascertain and report on what terms
the Greek and Seminole Indians would
surrender all their remaining rights to the
land in question. He requested that the
resolution lie over till tomorrow, when
when he would make it more compre-
hensive. The resolution was laid over
accordingly The senate then went into
executive session, with reference it is un-
derstood, to Nicaragua treaty. When the
doors were re-opened the senate ad-
journed.
On motion of Mr.. Lanham, the senate
amendments to the house bill authoriz-
ing the appointment ofacommission to run
and mark boundary lines between por-
tion of the Indian territory and Texas,
to act with similar commission ap-
pointed by the state of Texas, were nom
concurred in.
Mr.. Cobb presented the conference re-
port on the Oregon Central forfeiture
bill. The house receded from it's dis
agreement to senate amendments.
The house then went into committee
of the whole (Mr. Wellborn in the chair)
on the Indian appropriation bill.
Mr.. Chase tnen spoke in support of an
increase in appropriation for the Indians
of the Fort Peck agency.
Mr.. Maginnis attributed the starving
condition of the Indians of that agency
to the ineficiency of the Indian depart
ment. s.
Mr.. Reagan said it struck him as
curious fact that the government could
always find means of appropriating
money to feed lot of lazy and vagabond
Indians, but could never find means for
putting them to work. He read letter
he had received from Bishop Whipple, of
Minnesota, who is now dying on the
shores of the Mediterranean, imploring
his good office for the Indians and asking
him to request the president elect to
be deeply careful in the selection of a
commissioner of Indian affairs. No po-
sition, says the bishop, in the gift of the
can bring to his party greater
honor or greater fame.
Mr.. Cutcheon offered resolution ap-
$4,000 for the emergency
fund, to be applied in case of necessity
for relief in extraordinary cases OF dis
tress among Indian tribes. Ruled out
on point of order. s$a

parliamentary sparring, a democrat moved
to make the temporary, the permanent
of the house. Points of
order were raised that an election could
not proceed in this way, but the speaker
refused to entertain them, and also re-
fused to allow vote upon the appeal
from this ruling, and directed the roll
call on the previous question. The pre-
vious question was lost, Haines voting
with the republicans.
The house adjourned without trans
acting any business. Strategical motions
were made by both sides, but no vote
was secured on permanent officers.
Cronkrite withdrew as candidate for
the speakership, and E. M. Haines, Of
Lake, who last night resigned the chair,
was unanimously nominated as the dem
ocratic candidate. Now it is thought by
the democrats that opposition in the
party to him will subside, and that he
will receive the seventy-seven votes nec-
essary to elect
Sphinx County Speaks.

would be difficult to describe the feeling
of Indignation produced here by the re-
ceipt of the intelligence to the effect that
a bill has been introduced into the terri
torial legislature looking to division of
Sphinx county and that the measure is
favored by Hon. J. P. Day, contrary to
pledges made by him at the time of his
nomination and during the succeeding
campaign. The citizens of Athol and
vicinity in mass meeting to-day unani-
mously passed a resolution oondemning
all such action and expressing their un-
qualified opposition to any legislation
looking to division of Sphinx county in
any shape. It is the general opinion here
that if the measure were submitted to a
vote of the people of the county it would
be overwhelmingly defeated.

Threatening Old Haines.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-The Journals
Springfield, ILL.,, special says: Temporary
Speaker Haines applied to Mayor Nc
Creery this forenoon for the police to
protect him. He said that he understood
he was in danger of personal violence.
The mayor informed him that he had no
jurisdiction over the state house, or the
legislature; that the legislature appointed
it's own policemen, and he (Haine) had
the power to appoint as many as he
deemed necessary. If anything dis
trrbed the peace outside the state house
the mayor would interfere.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-It is learned tonight
that the county grand jury has voted to
indict 255 judges of the recent election
for permitting carelessness and frauds
through which 100000 appropriation
for additional police was made to appear
to be carried by a majority of $4,000,
when in reality the proposition was de-
feated by several hundred votes. The
number of judges to be indicted include
about three-quarters of all who served.
County Clerk Ryan, Justices Scully and
Kerster, who composed the canvassing
board, are also to be indicted.

FOREIGN.

LONDON, Jan. ga report is current
that General Stewart has occupied Me-
temeh. This lacks official confirmation
but, it is generally believed, as Stewart
pushed forward the greater part of his
forces Immediately after the victory of
Saturday, near Abulake. It is highly
probable also that all the rebels who have
been stationed at Metemeh left that
point to take part in Saturdays engage
ment And it is thought unlikely that
they rallied and made a stand at Mete-
meh so soon after their decisive defeat.
The government telegraphed public con-
gratulations to Wellesley and Stewart.

A Bat That Cost 311.

Lieutenant Farnan, of tho Southern
Police District, has u picked leather
winged bat. He didn't buy it, but he
says the bat cost him a considerable
sum, and he intends to keep it. His
story Is as follows: ''Onc OF my little
boys, who sleeps in q DON next to

night and said something had struck
him on the head, and l saw Il bat fly-
ing around the room. / closed the

I struck again several times and didn't
get him. Then my boy said: Papa,
have you got himp / could have caught
him myself in this time.' Then l got
mad, and l slung tie spread around at
the bat again, but instead of hitting
him knocked every ornament off the
mantlepicco and broke the globes on
the chandelier. Then l was madden
than before, and l tried to fall on the
bat as he came neal the floor, and
fell I've a chair and broke that. All
the time my wife was saying. Tom,

and don't tear the house down. That
made me still worse, and making Il dies.

Finally, l got my wife TO bring me au

Tulips.

As in the case of hyacinths, the sin
gle varieties of these force earlier and
better than the double ones. Tulips
require the same soil and treatment as
hyacinths, only that several roots
should DO ported together in one small
pot in order to form good group. Ro-
man hyacinths r valuable OF ac-
count of their earlinoss, as they can, if
ported in September or August. be
easily had in flower in November. They
are useful for decorative purposes If
ported or planted pretty thickly. but
being scentless, and otherwise inferior
to the common hyacinth, they are sell
dom grown after the latter comes in.
Both snowdrops and crocuses force ear
ly and freely, and should be pottcd
thickly in pots or pans in about four
inches of sod, and forced very gently
as soon rs rooted, under the same treat
ment as hyacinths before potting. They
make an effective display in Il cool
house between Christmas and April,
during which period -they may be had
in flower by introducing patches from
the cool frame every ten days or so.
The polyanthus narcissus of different
sorts have always been favorites for
forcing, but of late the datfodil section
has become popular for this purpose,
and very handsome pot plants they
make; and the beautiful N. bulboco-
dunn, or small hoop petticoat datfodil
is one of the best. 1t does better in pots
than out doors, as u rule, and stands
a good while in perfection. There arc
no neater subjects for pot culture, and
those who grow it once will grow it al
ways. The small bulbs should be pot
ted early in the autumn-say August or
September-kept cool till rooted, and
then forced into flower in gentle heat.
The whole Of the daifodils force in this
way. N. Horsticldi is one of the best
large-fowered sorts for the purpose as
it flowers very freely, does not grow
tall, and is ono of the very best of its
class. The large-ilowcred single N.
maximus is also good; so is the COM
mon double datfodil; and the little N.
nanus makes almost as neat u .peci.
men as N. bulbocodium. The larger
kinds must have pots from six to eight
inches in size, and the small varieties
will succeed we'll in four to tive-inch
ones, and in any common soil that is
light and sandy. All are extremely
easy to force, and the bulbs are com.
paratively cheap.-Lond0n Field.
