WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the
members except Secretary Lamar; who is
not in good health. n The principal topic of
discussion was the action of the house of
representatives yesterday in adopting Mr..
BANDS resolution calling on the secretary
Of the treasury for information in regard to
bis past and future policy on the silver
question. The propriety and expediency of
disclosing the future policy OF the admins
tration on this question was considered at
length. 1t Is understood that the conclusion
reached was that the secretary could best
reply TO that portion of the resolution by
reference to the views expressed by the
president in his message TO congress and by
the secretary of the treasury in his annual
report on the subject, with an explanatory
statement that their sentiments in regard to
silver remain unchanged

Congress Doing Little work.


WASHINGTON, Feb. At looks as
though the predictions made by the oppo-
nents of the new rules of the house were
likely to be fulfilled. Two months have
now passed since the assembling Of con-
gress, and there has not been sent to the
president half dozen measures for his sig
nature. AS for the appropriation bills.
they seem TO be in only an embryo state.
Take the river and harbor bill. for instance.
1t has been listening to delegation after del
egation, and now at the end Of the
second month of congress finds it.
self only ready TO begin its first
work on the bill. 1t will begin at
the northeastern extremity of the country.
the coast Of Maine, and travel down the
coast. hearing arguments on the require
ments OF the various streams and harbors
on the coast. Then il will follow up the
Mississippi valley. then jump to the Pacific
coast and then scour the country generally,
hearing arguments and fixing approximate
estimates for each place. This viii prob
ably consume a couple of months. Then
the whole ground will have to be gone over
again, and so If the bill is ready before May
II will be something surprising. So with
the other appropriation bills. They are all
going to hold out until Late, and when they
come in struggling for precedence In the
last days there will be music.

AN OKLAHOMA FRAUD,
I'm Which People May be Duped for
Two Dollars.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-On the 25th of
January, Representative McRae. Of Ar
kansas, referred TO the commissioner of the
general land Office copy of circular pur-
porting to be issued by the Texas Okla
homa Homestead COLONY, DenisOn, Texas. I"
inviting membership in the Colony" at a
fee of So each, and promising to secure
homesteads in Oklahoma for members as
soon as land Office should be established
there. Mr.. McRae requested the commits
sioner's opinion as TO when the lands would
be opened TO settlement. and as 10 the bene-
fits to accrue 10 members of the alleged
colony. In reply Commissioner Sparks
gives history of the Oklahoma lands, and
states that the question of opening these
lands to settlement involves a question of
grave importance-that of a dismember-
ment of the Indian Territory and C be
determined only by congressional ton.
de further says:
But have 4 very positive opinion that no
benefits can be derived from a membership.
IN the alleged colony" II the lads were
opened for settlement the agents or the ''col-
ony" could not make settlement locations
and entries for the members. because settle
ments and settlement entries can be made
only by settlers in person. But. as the lands
are not open 70 settlement, the formation of
an actual organization for the purpose OF go
ing into the Oklahoma country would be en-
gaged in an unlawful combination. As
prospective scheme the only tangible result
that can be perceived Is the obtainmeut by
its alleged promoters OF 81 from each person
who may be deceived and imposed upon by
said circular. The whole scheme is undoubt-
eddy an imposition and dangerous one, be-
cause the small SUM required for member
ship" may induce q large number OF unsus-
picious persons 10 become its dupes.
