An Inhuman Father Repudiates
His OffSDrino

New YORK, Dec. 17.-Harris Phillips,
who has been in this country for some
time, was at Castle Garden this
morning, when the passengers of the
steamer Etruria arrived. Among the
immigrants were his four children,
Armand, aged fifteen years: Amelia,
thirteen years; Richard, nine years;
and Samuel, three years. They
came over under the auspices
of the English Guardian society,
Hebrew organization. The father as
tonished the Garden authorities by re-
pudiating the notion that he ought
to provide for all his offspring.
He said he would take care of
two of the children. The country, he
said could take care of the others. This
evidence of complete heartlessness
arouse a commotion among the employees
of the garden, who talked freely of
taking the man to convenient
tree on the battery and stringing him
up. Two uncles of the children, resi-
dents of this city, were notified of the
state of affairs and soon appeared. They
said they would willingly care for all
the children if necessary, and with that
understanding the little ones were given
into their charge.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lin the house
to-day a resolution for holiday recess
was agreed to, and it was agreed to
make the South Dakota bill special
order for tomorrow and succeeding
days. A bill was passed for the incor
pOration of the American Historical
association. The house rejected an
amendment proposed by the ways and
means committee to the resolution for
adjournment, and passed it as intro
duced. ut provides for a recess from
Dec. 81 to Jan. y. A resolution appro-
priating $4,000 for the expenses of the
Ford immigration committee, reported
from the committee on accounts, was
adopted. On the call of the
states for the introduction of bills,
the enemies of the Oklahoma, Nicara-
qua and Pacific railroad bills engaged
in filibustering to prevent the consider
alton of those measures. Among the
bills which were introduced and or
dered read to consume time was the
senate tariff bill. Under suspension of
the rules the senate bill was passed with
amendment increasing to $650,000 the
limit of the cost of the public building
at San Francisco. On motion of Mr..
Springer, of Illinois, the house agreed
to motion to suspend the rules and
adopted resolution making the senate
bill for the admission of South Dakota
special order for tomorrow and from
day to day until disposed of, providing
that the omnibus bill may be offered as
a substitute therefor; thereafter other
bills relating to the admission OF the
territories shall be disposed in the order
fixed by the committee, AT AIS the
house adjourned.
Mr. Springer encountered very little
opposition in securing continuing
order for the senate South Dakota bill
with sundry amendments. To Gov.
Ordway. Gen. Allen and the GLOBE,
Mr.. Springer said: 81 do not expect to
accomplish anything in the matter until
after the holidays. Notice is given by
certain Republicans that they will OBJ
pose my committee amendment, but we
will have all the Democrats except Mac
Donald, of Minnesota, working in har
mony with the will of the caucus, and
will pass the bill early in January. We
will act as a party and several brainy
Republicans, like Knute Nelson, will
act with u.s."
Gov. Allen suggested and Mr..
Springer added to his amendments. a
clause providing that the commissioners
shall estimate public works in dollars
and cents and apportion to each Dakota.
Also that they shall cause transcripts to
be made of territorial archives and de-
liver complete copies to each state.

to-day continued the discussion of the
tariff bill. Among the bills reported to
the senate favorably was one to estab-
lish coinage mint at Denver, and one
to furnish arms to the state of Oregon
for militia purposes. The resolution Of
MIR. Riddleberger, to provide for reor-
ganiZatlOn of the senate, was taken up,
and the Virginia senator addressed the
senate on it. saying that it was offered
with a view to having the presiding Off
Ger changed. In the course of his re-
marks he criticized the presiding officer
(Mr. IngallS), who, he said, had been out
of order more often than he. At the
conclusion of his remarks he asked
leave TO withdraw the resolution, but Mr..
Dawes objected, and Mr.. Harris, of
Tennessee, after tribute to the Impair
TALLY of Mr.. Ingalls, as presiding
officer, moved to lay the resolution on
the table. The presiding officer, how
ever, decided that the resolution could
be withdrawn without unanimous con,
sent, and it was withdrawn. The tariff
bill being taken up, the paragraphs re-
lating to tagger iron were passed over
informally. A long debate was had on
an amendment proposed, reducing the
rate on car wheels from 21S cents to 2
cents, and on IngOtS for car wheels from
"a cents to ~ cents per pound. Mr..
Mcpherson, who offered the amend
ment, and Mr.. Edmunds, who opposed
it, had an argument on the superior

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE answer of Sir

that the government has finally deter
mined to make no change in its policy

Suakim and the Red sea coast, nomi-

Sir Andrew forcibly urged the sending
of Messrs. Wylde and Brewster and
Zebehr Pasha as commissioners to ne
gotiate with the tribes on the basis of
the removal of the dervishes and the
administration of the government of
the protected territory direct from Eng
land. relieving the Egyptian ministers
and Sir Evelyn Barring entirely from
any connection with the affairs of that
region. Mr.. Wylde, speaking as
resident of Suakim for four
teen years. declares that the
Egyptian war clique are directly and
wholly responsible for the existing
troubles and asserts that matters will
never assume any better shape under
Egyptian rule. He expresses his will
ingness TO enter 0sman Digna'S camp
alone and negotiate a settlement with
that chief at bis own risk. but the gov
eminent will not allow him even to land
at Suakim. Sir Charles Warren, who
has been assigned by the rumor of the
past few days to the command of the
British corps at Suaklm, will return to
active military duty as commander of

Some Suggestions to Congress.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. II. = Senator
Dawes to-day filed copy of resolutions
adopted by the New England Historical
society, appealing to congress that past
errors in naming states ''new," "north,"
''south" and west may not be re-
peated. The name of Washington as a
state name would introduce serious con-
fusion with the national capital. Re-
ferring to this petition Delegate Toole
says: "The territories are our own
work: the creation of the hands. hearts
and brains of our sturdy pioneer yeo-
many. We are making states of them
by our own energy and thrift. We
have not asked advice from the spec
tacled savants of Boston. We can select
names for states of our own creation"
The Evening Star expresses Eastern
sentiment upon the subject in the fol-
lowing editorial paragraph: "The
proposition to change the name of
West Virginia to 'Kanawha" is o.
good one, and it is pleasant to
be assured that great many people
in the state are in favor of it. If it can
be done by consent of Its inhabitants
by any authority so far as state now
i'll the Union is concerned. With terri
tories proposing to come in, the princi-
pie is, however, different. In that case
the people of the whole country have a
right to be heard on the subject, land it
is beyond question that the popular
voice is against the admission of any
state or country which duplicates the
name of another; having only the prefix .
of NORTH, East" South" or "West"
as means of Identification. The coun-
try settled and unsettled is rich enough

of the Union without resOrting to repe-
tition i'll any case. and duplicate in
part ought MOTTO be permitted In any
instance, no matter what the local ex-
preston of wishes or feeling may be.
Neither should the name of an Individ-
ual be given to state, and in this ex-
clusion the Star desires to be understood
as including even the august names OF
Washington and Lincoln, which have
been proposed in some quarters.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-The agree
ment which was reached in the confer
ence committees of both houses of con-
gresS last Friday afternoon, upon the
Chippewa Indian bill, is creditable
alike to the committeeman and to the
Originators of the bill. There have
been enyies, jealOusieS, and not few
heartburnings over that bill. 1t passed
the house several months ago, and
Knute Nelson properly claimed credit
for that. Then, for reasons known only
TO the senate committee OH Indian af-
fairs, the bill laid dormant for long
time, and not by the most strenuous
efforts was Senator Sabin able to get it
before the senate. AT last, just before
the close of the last session, Mr.. Sabin
managed to get it out of the committee
and reported to the senate, and it was
passed, but with sundry amendments,
the nature of which has been already
telegraphed. Great credit is due Sen
ator Sabin for getting it through the
senate in the face of the objections and
representations of certain Eastern SEN
ators. Credit is now due to Mr.. Nelson
for getting it into the conference COM
mttee and reaching an agreement upon
disputed points. The bill is privileged
matter in both houses and will be passed
some time this week. The president
knows all about the bill and will surely
approve it. This is one of the most i'm

ent. Our congressman are pleased with

guarded by number of negroes, who
fired on the white men. Those said to
have been killed are: W. III. Maury,
5. Cobb. Thomas Nicholson, William
Vaughan and man named Hare. j. +.
Maury and John Dew were also badly
wounded. The shooting occurred nine
miles from Wahalak. The first report
that Halle Motto and Bob White were
wounded is denied. Two parties left
