WASHlNGTON, II. O., July "A. J
The senate has passed the house bill estab-
lshing terms of the United States court to
be held at various points in Nebraska. The
bill was amended by the senate committee
so as to strike out all that portion dividing
the state into divisions, also by dropping
Kcarncy as one of the places named in the
bill as it passed the house The bill, as il
was finally passed by the senate is similar
to the one which was introduced by Mr.. Dor
sey and passed in the Forty y-nmth congress
naming Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings and Nor
folk as points at which terms of the court
shall be held. Judge Dundy made serious
opposition to the adoption of the bill which
was passed to day. lie claimed that there
was not sufficient business to justify the
changes The committee however, agreed
that there should be terms held at Omaha,
Lincoln and Hastings, and then Senator
MandersOn and Mr.. Dorsey appeared before
the committee and argued that the
points in the Third district should
not be dropped from the bill
and that they should have considera-
tion. They were asked to name the
one point in the Third district where they
wished terms of the court held, the commit
tee stating that it would retain one of the
points mentioned. They declined to do this,
and said that they would insist that the re
sponsibilty should rest with the committee.
They added that they would show why both
points should be retained in the bill The
committee by a bare majority agreed to name
Norfolk as the additional point for terms of
court The bill will now 20 to the confer
ence committee, and Mr. Dorsey promises
to the house committee on Judiciary that it
will demand the five places named in the bill
as it originally passed the house. The house
committee on Judiciary feels that the senate
committee on judiciary has treated its recon-
mendatons in this and a number of other
court bills without any consideration what
ever, and it intends to make fight
ANOTHER DEADLOCK PROMISED.
Democratic members of the house say they
will flibustcr all summer and they will let
the sundry civil appropriation plll perish be-
fore they will accept the amendment pro-
posed to-day by the senate committee on
finance to pay the direct tax on the basis of
Shcrmans direct tax bill, which passed the
senate early in the session, which is now
pending in the house and which the demo-
Gratis in the house led by Oates of Alabama
| for ten days iilibustered against. The pros
| poets are that the direct tax amendment will
| lead to another deadlock in the house and re-
suit in the defeat of the sundry civil appro-
| priatiOn bill.
THE INDIANS CANNOT GO.
Secretary Villas has countermanded the
| order of the commissioner of Indian affairs
agency to attend the reunion at Norfolk,
| Neb. The secretary gives as his reason for
cancelling the order that a commission has
| been appointed to treat for the opening of
| the Sioux reservation in Nebraska and Da-
kota and that it is necessary that all Indians
on the reservation shall be at their homes at
the time when the soldiers reunion is to be
| held. 1t is probable that the Indians now
| with the Wild West show will be ordered
back to their homes for the same reason.
| INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTIONS.
A special report showing the internal
| revenue collections throughout the country
| by districts for the past year has just been
| issued by the commissioner of internal reve-
| nue.. 1t shows that the collections in Ne
