THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
What the Two Houses VIII Busy
Themselves with.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The Ed
munds resolutions are likely to be brought
to a final vote i'm the senate about the mid
die of the present week. The pending
question is upon the Van Wyck amendment
to consider the nominations TO which the
resolutions relate in open session. 1t is
possible, however, that this amendment
may be withdrawn, that course having been
suggested by senators who are heartily i'm
favor of the principle il embodies, but do
not think il best TO mix the matter with the
issues raised by the resolutions or
10 dispose OF 1t as party
question. Should it be withdrawn the sub
ject of secret sessions will be brought up
soon after the Edmunds resolutions are dis
posed of. Not less than a dozen senators
are in earnest accord with the movement to
consider nominations i'm open session, and
as many more are in favor Of some mOdi-
ficatiOn of these rules, which force them so
often 10 keep their mouths closed when a
subject is broached which all mankind be-
sides may discuss freely. The unfinished
business of the morning hour is Logan's
Dill to increase the efficiency OF the army
Senator Frye hopes to find an opportunity
during the week to begin the discussion of
his resolution adverse TO the creation of a
FISHING COMMISSION,
and Senator Wilson will look for chance
TO pass the DeS MoineS settlers relief bill
over the presidents veto. In the house to-
morrow the bill TO grant a pension to the
widow of Gen. Hancock and several other
private pension measures will be brought
up as the unfinished business Of Friday
evenings session. The Indian appropria-
ton bill. which was extensively discussed
last week. is likely to be passed tomorrow
afternoon or Tuesday. The postoffice ap-
preparation bill will then have the right of
way, and is expected 10 run through the
week. 1t is understood that
the consideration of this meas
ure will be enllvened by a
political debate concerning the postmaster
generals policy in regard to last years ap-
preparation for carrying the ocean mails.
The business for the morning hours this
week will come from the committees on
war claims, District of Columbia, civil
service reform, and American shipping,
naval affairs, or so many of them as may
be reached under the call. The measures
OF general interest that may thus be brought
up for action are the bill relating to pilot
age and the bill to increase the navy. Sat-
urday will be devoted TO continuation of
the silver discussion.

Poles Ordered Down.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 21.-A large
number of our prominent citizens will pre-
sent petition to the council on Monday
night asking that the Central Union Tele-
phone company be ordered 10 remove their
poles and wires from the streets and alleys
of the city. This is in consequence of a
notice being given by the telephone COM
pany to some of their subscribers here that.
on account Of the law recently passed by
the Legislature. fixing charges, they would
be unable to furnish telephones after April
80. Another company is already in the
field and they are willing TO furnish tele-
phone service for the price per telephone
allowed by law.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The RepubIi-
can senators who have been active in MAIN
tanning the howl for papers from the de-
partments are disappointed that the coun-
try does not stop everything else and join in
the chorus. They say, more in sorrow than
in anger, that the people must be ignorant
of the mighty issues over which
the present battle of words in the
senate is being waged. The galleries We're
crowded the first two days, but since then
there has been no unusual demand for op-
portunities 10 listen to the great constitu-
tiOnal lawyers. In spite of the fact that
under the law as it stands the president can
during the recess of the senate put an OIL
cial out of Office, and thereafter, without
any assistance from the senate, can keen
him out till he dies or his commission has
expired, some of these great Republican
constitutional lawyers think that because if
they do not confirm the successor he
RETURNS TO HIS OLD OFFICE
on the adjournment of congress to be i'm
mediaiely fired out again, and grayer
responsibilities are thrust upon them in as
sisting the president, as they call it, to
Tipen suspension into removal They
think it strange that the whole country, or
all the Republican part of it, does not get
excited over the helnOus conduct of the
president in looking upon a succession of
suspensions as the equivalent TO a perma-
nent removal. But they do reluctantly
recognize the popular apathy, and are pre-
pairing to stop the OTatOrical circus. Sena-
tor Edmunds expressed the hope yesterday
that the senate would sit out the constitu-
tional debate tomorrow. This means,
among other things, that he is having dill
Guilty in keeping his army together, and as
the wordy fight goes on the more danger
there is of a mutiny. Several senators are

dier stationed at Mud Spring. under COM
mand of Lieut.. Wheeler, arrived in this
city to-day from him, who had heard of the
surrender of Geronimo to Lieut.. MauS.
The facts leading TO the surrender are re-
ported to be as follows: Yesterday after
noon. about ten miles south of San Ber-
nardino, the Apache camp was attacked
by Mexican forces, and hot SkirmiSh en-
sued. During the skirmiSh two Apaehes
were killed and the forces of Geronimo
completely routed. Geronimo and his
band fed in the direction of Lieut.. Maus'
camp for safety. and surrendered uncOndi-
tiOnally. Mexican troops followed them
across the line, into Maus' camp, and de.
manded the prisoners, claiming the fight
occurred on Mexican soil, and the victory
was theirs. MauS refused to give the priss
oners up. which greatly incensed the MexiS
cans, who threatened to take the prisonert
by force. Gen. Crook is hourly expected ID

BUFFALO, n. Y, March 21.-Senato1
Mcmillan of this district has introduced in
the legislature bill which provides for the
appointment Of a commission to investigate
and report the most humane method of per-
forming capital punishment. The bill is OF
Importance TO all Interested in the advance
of humanity, and it is probably the result
mainly of the efforts of DR.. A. p.
SOuthwick of this city, who has been for
many years anxious to have the method of
capital punishment changed, and Assistant
District Attorney Quinby. They look upon
hanging as a relic of barbarism. Science is
so far advanced that other and better means
can easily be devised. DIR. Southwick pro-
poses TO execute criminals by means of
electricity, by which death is instantaneous.

His idea is TO use an ordinary chair. In
this a wire could be run from
the electric light works to the Jail.
The man would sit in the
chair, with his head resting against its back.
The wire entering an insulated substance,
such as rubber or glass, would constitute
the positive pole. By placing the mans
feet upon a metallic plate, a connection
would be formed with the poles. AT sig

the desperate who killed three men yester-
day near Lyons remained in the barn
where he was driven all night. 1t was pro-
posed to burn him out, but no one would
volunteer to fire the building. The barn
contained eighteen horses and mules, about
one hundred chickens. plenty of grain and
a well. Besides this there were three
caves, used for the storage of vegetables,
The barn and contents were valued al
800, and it was thought advisable to
wait While before reSOrting to fire. 1t
was concluded to guard the barn carefully
all night and resume operations in the
morning. During the siege the mules and
horses frequently neighed loudly, and il
was thought that they had been
wounded from time to time. Late last night
Sheriff Skinner from Tekamah arrived.
with posse of ten men armed with Win
chester rifles. This morning they opened
fire again on the barn and the desperate re-
spOnded. He shot through one mans hat,
through another's coat and so on, but
wounded no one, as they exercised great
caution. The desperate guarded every
side of the barn, and no one dared to ap-
proach it to set fire to it, as it had been de-
termined 10 do. This morning he fired sew
eral shots through the farm dwelling-hOuSe
where several men were stationed, but hit
no one. A special train has been ordered
to carry fifty armed men from Tekamah to
the scene of the siege. At last accounts,
3 o'clock this afternoon, the desperate still
held the fort. It has been decided to set
fire to the barn in some way the first op-
portunitY.

Honey in he chimney.

Wild bees are becoming very plentiful
In the country around Emigrant Gap.
A score or more Of trees have been cut
near that village during the past eight
months, some Of which provedv very rich.
In this connection the following
strange circumstance Is noteworthy.
The chimney Of James Davis's house,
Bear Valley, had not been used for o
year or two-that Is, not by the family.
Recently 1t was found necessary to start

was duly started. but for a while It did
not burn very successfully.
The fact Is there was an obstruction In
the chimney In the shape Of O large de-
posit OF honey In tho comb. The fire
caught In tho honeycomb, the flames
shot up out OF tho top of the chimney to
the height OF about ten feet, and 1t was

be destroyed, but 1t wasn't. Over 200
pounds OF honey ran down the chimney.
