From the Capital.

WASHINGTON, May 25.--Tke President
pro tempore laid before the Senate to day
letter from the Governor of Ohio.
transmitting the preamble and resolu-
tions adopted by the Ohio Senate. de-
claring the opinion that the election of
Senator Payne was procured and
brought about by a corrupt use OF
money paid to and for the benefit of
divers and sundry members of the
Sixty-sixth General Assembly of Ohio
and by other corrupt means and prac-
tices." and requesting the Senate OF the
United States 10 make "a full investiga.
ton into the facts of the said election as
far as it pertains TO the corrupt means
used in that behalf"
Springer, from the committee on
Territories, to-day presented 10 the
House the adverse Feportof.that COM
mittee on the Senate bill to provide for
the admission OF the State of Dakota
and the Organization of the Territory OF
Lincoln. .rhe report says: 1t cannot be
said that the people OF Dakota, and
especially OF southern Dakota, are in
favor of admitting into the Union the
southern part of that Territory as q
state. the movement having in view
the formation of two States, to be
carved out OF the Territory of Dakota
originated in that Territory. Congress
has in no way authorized or recognized
II. The question of whether the present
Territory OF Dakota il TO be di-
vIded. so as to lay the foundation
of two States TO be admitted into the
Union as one, interests the people OF
the States quite as much as it does the
II a..
states have just as much right to have
that subject submitted TO them for their
approval as have the people Of the
Territory.
Chairman Hill, of Ohio, submits n
minority report in which, while dis
agreeing with the reasoning of the ma
/ iority, he hold that Dakota should not
be admitted until the Senate bill passes,
because all the people of the Territory
were not consulted fairly on the ques-
ton of division and formation of Con-
stitution for the proposed State.
He believed il the duty OF Congress 70
defer this question OF the division OF
the Territory to the full vote OF the
people thereof. Another minority re-
port Is signed by Messrs. Baker, Struble
Cooper. Hermann and Symes. They
respectfully submit that the people OF
Dakots are in favor Of admitting TO the
Union the southern part OF the State.
as every fact justines and every con-
sidsration demands and establishes be-
! yond question the claim and right OF
Dakota TO be Immediately admitted to
the Union. They close their report
with the expression OF their belief that
1t is the constitutional right of the State
of Dakota, 10 be admitted under the
bill which has come TO the House from
the Senate, the passage Of which they
earnestly urged.

CLEVELAND, o.. May 25.-The General
Assembly Of the knights Of Labor which
began its session to-day Is indeed 3 very
close corporation. Everything is done in
secret and all the proceedings come
to the newspaper press through the
committee Of Knights appointed for
that purpose. The first meeting
opened at O'Clock. aud closed at s
to ght. At o'clocE the General AS
sembly took a recess, for the
purpose of giving Mrs. Mary
a Woodbridge. of Rayenna. Ohio,
recording secretary Of the National
WOman's Christian Temperance Union,
an opportunity to address them. The
conference between the committee,
composed of trades Unionists and
knights Of Labor. was highly satisfac-
tory. The trades Unionists presented
a plan adopted by them in Philadelphia
for the solution of the difficulties existing
between the two orders. Tue plan will be
submitted to the General Assembly for
ratification. 1t seems tonight as If
perfect understanding Is altogether
probable, although there is unmistak-
able bitterness among many OF the
delegates. The General Assembly to-
day accomplished nothing save the APP
pointmenr Of q press committee and a
on credentials. Tomorrow
the real business of the order viii be
taken up.

Against Home Rule.

LONDON, May 25.-The home rule de-
bate was resumed in the House OF
Commons tonight. Viscount Leming-
ton, Liberal. sa id the bill was q chaotic
measure. Ireland required social rem
edies. The agrarian question was at
the roet OF the whole difficulty.
The Attorney-General said that one
reason OF the failure of the recent Irish
remedial legislation was that it came
too late. Another reason was that
the benefits offered were not
what the Irish wanted. but what
Parliament thought they ought to have.
Abiding to Chamberlain's views, the
Attorney General said the bill would
really further and not retard federation.
The protests about Ulster were mainly
buncombe and buster. The religious
question was merely bogus bugbear,
intended to brighten the Obstetrics,
whose slarm was without foundation.
Government, he said, sought to substi-
tute q real for an unreal union.
(Cheers)

from Kansas felt any pride in berating

The Mexican Treaty

WASHINGTON, May 25.-In reporting
adversely the bill to carry into effect
the Mexican treaty, the majority of the
committee on ways and means say the
treaty. il such it can be rightly called,
reserves no exclusive rights to either
party. bat stud.ously preserves the
right of either TO act with perfect indie
pendence and N direction which seems
70 conserve the best interests of either.
Even the most ardent advocates of the
treaty admit that its provisions, If
enacted, would in a few years utterly
destroy our sugar interests and work
almost incalculabie injury TO our
tobacco trade. The treaty will
be found to work great
INJUSTICE to our government in
the loss Of revenue and destruction.
At least, OF one great industry. and the
exchange bears heavily almost exciu-
siyely upon the agriculturists of our
country, for it will be seen the ex-
changes Of the products OF the soil and
pasture were brought into Il most I'M
welcome competition with this class of
o IT people. There 10 hut one article of
commercc that by free exchange might
In sense compensate for the sacrifice
4
8 Igar and tobacco. and that Is in the
articles of textile faorics. bat cotton,
woollen, silk and linen manufacture are
wholly ignored in the treaty. Mexico
retains this trade 10 herself. In conclu-
SION the majority refers to the report of
j. Evans. special agent OF the Treasury
as Gear presentation Of the obstacles
which stand in the way of q fair and
| Just trade in Mexco, under her present
tariff system. and as illustrating the
utter fut ilIty of endeavoring 70 establish
a satisfactory or freer commercial rela-
tons with her by treaty SO long as
SUCH q system exists. Hewitt submits
a minority report recommending the
passage of the House bill intended 10
carry into effect the treaty. He says
unless We improve the opportunity
afforded BY this treaty 20 cement our
relations with Mexi %. we are In
danger Of losing all the fruits OF the
enormous expenditure of capital which
has made commerce possible. Tc
fail 10 take advantage of this new field
for the exercise of our energies i.
simply TO declare ourselves guilty o.
stupidity and prejudices which we hzvl
been in the habit OF charging upon 9th
ers. and this act of folly would be com
mitted at time when we so much neeC
new and larger markets for the surplus
products Of our industry.

Under Mob Rule.

TORONTO, May 25.-For over three
hours tonight the city was under mob
rule. Word was received by the Knights
of Labor that omnibuses from Kingston
for the use of the street railroad strikers
would arrive here between G and Z
o'clock tonight, and large crowd were
to meet them. accompanied by brass
band. On their arrival the omni-
buses were driven slowly through the
principal streets, the crowd gradually
increasing in number, until nearly
1000 persons were following in the pro-
cession. Every street car met on
the return was attacked with
bricks aud stones. Passengers,
drivers and conductors were in
jured and the widest uproar was kept
up, the police being pOwerless to do
anything. Between thirty and forty
street cars were wrecked in this
way and are now lying in the COM
pany s shop. Such a scene has seldom,
II ever, been seen in Toronto. For
tunately. so far: as ascertained no per-
son was dangerously injured. Had not
the Knights of Labor broken up the
procession. much more serious results
would have followed.
