The House resumed consideration of the
Oklahoma bill.
Mr.. Barnes of Georgia made an argument
in opposition to The bill by an urgent appeal
in behalf of good faith towards the Indians
and of the maintenance of the national honor
of the government.
Mr.. Springer of Illinois, in advoca ing. the
bill stated that he was not surprised at the
gentleman from Georgia appealing for good
faith towards Indians and especially towards
the Cherokees. If any gentlemen should
appeal for good faith towards the Cherokees
1t should be the gentleman from Georgia.
The Cherokees had formerly resided in that
State and the ancestors OF the gentlemans
constituents after having broken faith with
them had driven them from the State at the
point of the bayonet.
Mr.. Barnes-It is unfair in the gentleman
to make an attack on my State. What he
has said is not true and even if it were true
it would show that have improved upon my
ancestry and he has degenerated from his
Laughter and applause

marks the committee rose and the matter

A White Girl DispOses of Her
COlOred Baby.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Oct. 21.-The county
authorities have little mulatto baby
on their hands, and, small as it is, it is
proving a white elephant. The other
day Phebe Brooks, respectable COL
ored woman living on May avenue,
was leaning listlessly over her gate,
when q close carriage drove up and
pretty female occupant thereof engag-
ed Phoebe in conversation, asking her
to care for package for her for few
moments. Having given huge bum
die to the negress, the fair lady gave
the word to the driver and the car
riage rapidly drove away. Phoebe
carefully guarded her charge, but soon
found it necessary to examine the sus-
picious bundle, and found it to con-
tain pretty child five weeks old.
Having waited patiently for the moth
cr to return and finally despairing,
Phoebe reported the matter to the po-
lice authorities, and they Immediately
instituted investigation. 1t was found
that circumstances connected with the
visit of couple of ladies from Orange
burg, S. c., who recently came to Au
gusta and took rooms in Pearl row,
show that they had hand in the af-
fair. AT any rate the child will be
shipped in charge of Detective Purcell
to Gussie Mirtle, and if she refuses to
care for it she will forthwith be COM
PEELED to come to this city to show
cause for refusal to do so.

Strike at Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 2l- The situation
at noon to-day was practically un-
changed so far as public opinion is
concerned. The excitement growing
out of the killing of Begley by the
Pinkerton men and which at one time
yesterday threatened to drench this
city with blood again has about SUBJ
sided. Men continue to go to work
and by Monday next it is thought the
normal condition of the packing
industry will have been reached
again. There has been for some time
past strong, bitter prejudice against
Pinkerton's men, which is by no means
confined to the strikers. The killing
of Begley has greatly intensified this
feeling, and it would not require many
more such acts to subject the force to
constant menace from unfavorably
disposed elements here.

Relieving Sufferers at Sabine.

ORANGE, Oct. 21.-Up to date the
cash receipts from abroad amount to
$4,000, and donations continue to come
in for relief of the destitute. Those
who are already here are being clothed
and fed, and rescuing parties are still
in search of the dead and missing at
Sabine Pass and Johnson's Bayou.
This morning the steamer Vicksburg
left with number of citizens who go
to collect furniture and other house,
hold effects of the sufferers.
Strange as it may appear, pilferipg
and rifiling of trunks, valises, ward
robes and whatever is supposed to con-
tain valuablcs is going on right in the
presence of death and suffering at Sa-
bine, and the lesson ofthe storm seems
not to have conveyed any warning to
the evil disposed of society there.

CLEVELAND'S IDEA OF OF.
FICES.
He Decapitates Republican Office
Holders and Insists on Civil Ser
vice for Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-These be
busy times at the white house. The
president is hammering away ON ied-
eral appointments, trying to clear
some of them up before the annual re-
ports of the bureaus come pouring in
and he will have to begin work upon
that facinating novelette,, the prcsi-
dents message. Mr.. Cleveland does
not like to write, and he works harder
over that dozen columns of chestnuts
than anybody thinks. His brain is
anything but nimble, and he is not one
of the favored to whom Dogberry
says reading and writing come by ma
ture. But the old Slyboots keeps cut
ting Republican heads off with one
hand while he works the civil service
machine with the other, just the same
as ever. One thing seems to have es-
capped notice so far. Mr.. Cleveland is
down on a mans holding one office
while running for another, and in the
case of one of the Taylor brothers,
running for governor of Tennessee,
and of more than one district attor-
ney, he has expressed horror and
amazemcnt that any man should be SO
depraved as not to resign at once when
he was nominated for another Office.
Now, Did Cleveland resign the shriev-
atty of Erie county when he was rum
ming for mayor of Buffalo? Did he
resign the mayoralty when he was
running for governor Of New York?
Did he resign the governorship of
New York when he was running for
president of the United States? Nay,
more-and this is going to give him a
hoist on his own petard when the Re
publicans begin to think it over-will
Cleveland resign the presidency in case
he should be renominated? Will he
hold a federal office while running for
office? This he has declared to be a
very grieveus thing, and folks want to
know what he is going to do about it.

escaped unhurt except Geo. r. Shep-

window in the third story of the
building and received serions injuries,
though he may recover. The hotel
was valued at $4,000, and is total

fire was discovered in two places, and

The Dinkley House was the largest

severe loss to Sherman. 1t was crowd

flames spread so rapidly it required
quick work TO awaken them and get
them out safely.
Shepperd was cut of by the flames

arrive in time, and the cracking, hiss
