WASHINGTON, January %, 1886.


senate.
Among the bills introduced in the
Senate was one by Mr.. Sherman to dis
continue the coinage Of silver dollars
and TO provide for the purchase of sill
yer bullion in bars Of not less than two
millions Of ounces nor more than four
millions of ounces per month at its mar
ket price, and for the issue in payment
therefor of coin certificates of not less
a denomination than clio, such bullion
to remain in the Treasury as security
for the payment of the certificates.
Mr.. Ingalls, presented the petition of
Frederick Douglass and other leading
colored citizens of the District of CO.
lumbia, complaining against alleged dis
ordinations against them at the thea
tres and other places of public enter
tainment in the city of Washington,
and praying that the license laws Of the
District Of Columbia be so amended as to
prevent such discrimination. The petit
ton, Mr.. Ingalls, said, was accompanied
by ailidavits in support Of its averments.
The petition was appropriately referred.
The Senate then went to the calendar
and resumed the consideration of the
bill to divide the Sioux reservation in
Dakota into separate reservations and
to secure the REIMBURSEMENT Of the In
dian title 10 the same.
After debate the bill, at 9 O'Clock,
was displaced by Q bill providing for
the admission Of Dakota.
Mr.. Buffers substitute for the COM
mittee's bill was read. Il Is an " ena-
bling " act, providing for the admission
Of the Territory Of Dakota as q whole
as Q State Of the Union when an cleo
ton shall have been held under this act |
and Constitution, republican in form,
shall have been adopted by the people
Of such Territory. The substitute also
prescribes in detail the conditions to be
observed by the proposed State as TO
public lands. schools, etc.
Dir. Butler then took the floor in
support Of his substitute. He conceded
the right Of the people Of the Territory
to apply for admission As State when
i had The necessary conditions, but no
denied that the Tsrritory had any inhs-
rent right 10 organize Stats govern
msnt. Congress alone could authorize
ifs transition from Tsrritory TO Q State,
and the exercise Of that power BY any
othef body would b hsid to be IN
usurpation.

A BIG FAIR.
THIS YEARS EXPOSITION TO BE THE LARG-
EST EVER HELD BY THE ASSOCIATION.
A Vast Increase in Entries in ALI Departments
Over Previous YsarS-AddlhOnal HOus-
ing Being Erected.

. Yesterday was busy day at the State
Fair grounds, and great progress was made
bv Secretary Hook and his corps of assist
ants in cleaning up the preliminary work
and getting things in order for the rush
which will set in with the dawn Of Mon
day morning Indications on every hand
point to Fair at least fifty per cent better
than any yet held under the auspices Of
the present Association. Not only has the
new arrangement of the buildings and ex-
tension of the areas allotted to all classes
of exhibitors afforded q vastly increased
amount of space, and greater convenience
for the public, the officials and the exhibit
ors. but the number of entries in almost
every department is from % to 100 per
cent better than ever before. This in
crease is particularly noticeable in the live
stock department, and the Association Of
ficers, although they have strained every
nerve and taxed their recOurces to the
utmost, find themselves utterly unable to
accommodate the entries The
Board of Directors met on the
grounds yesterday afternoon, and after
carefully examining the situa-
ton in this department, ordered the imme-
date construction of one hundred and
forty-fiye new live stock pens, as follows:
forty cattle pens, thirty horse stalls, forty
sheep pens. and thirty-five swine pens.
This, it was thought, would accommodate
nearly all the stock unprovided for, but
last nights mails brought another batch OF
entries, which will, it is thought, have to
be turned away. The live stock entries
closed at nine o'clock last night, but all
letters mailed before that hour are entitled
to be received, so that the last of the en-
tries will hardly come to hand before to-
night Inquiries from st. Clairsville yes
terday, as to the accommodations ayaila-
BILE, were answered by telegraph, the mes
sage ordering the parties not to send their
stun. An inspection of the live stock list
shows the following animals entered, with
n rnmnlriSOn with last wear:
