Senator Allison has given up all hope Of
getting his tariff bill through the Senate
before the holidays, and he has very little
hope that it will get through tho House at
all. The leaders OF the House want as long
recess as usual, because it reduces tho
chances of bad legislation; a majority OF
the Senate want it for personal reasons, ltut

sTANLEY's UNKNOWN FATE.
Claims That Emin Pasha's Troops
Turned Traitors.

SUAKIM, Dec. 16.-The skhalifa's letter to
Osman Digma stated that a steamer expe-
dition to the equator, commanded by Oman
Saleh, on arriving at Lsdo had Emin
Pasha and a white traveller delivered to
them in chains by Emin's officers
ana troops. Oman Saleh i'll his letter to
Khalifa stated that he reached Lado on
Oct II, and that the khedive had sent
white traveller named Stanley, with letter
telling Emin to go with Stanley, and
Offering the remainder of the force the
option Of going to Cairo or staying. They
refused 10 enter the Turkish service and
gladly received Oman Saleh. Oman Saleh
found a large quantity Of feathers and
ivory. Re heard that another Traveller had
visited Emin but had gone and he was
searching for him.
FIGHTING AT SUAKIM.
A reconnaissance was made on the left and
rear of the rebels position to-day. The
party was headed by Gen. Grenfelt, and
advanced under a heavy fire from the forts.
The Arabs opened fire, but did no damage.
The firing continues on both sides, and the

NOT BELIEVED BY THE NATIVES.
LONDON, Dec II, 4 A. MA dispatch
from Suakim to the Times says: The ma
tives do not believe that the equatorial
provinces have submitted to Ell Mahdi. If
they had, the natives say, proclamations to
the people of Emins territory and other
official acts of the uahdi would have been
made public, and the surrender Of Suak m
would have been demanded. The coast
guard steamer, which has just arrived from
the south, heard nothing of the alleged cap
ture of Emin."

THEIR ARGUMENT.

They hold that this increase was made
upon the idea that it would increase the
fund for school purposes, and that in this
way the wet counties would be called upon
to help educate the people living in the dry
counties, and they argae that this will be
unjust legislation. Senator duBignon, it is
understood, will oppose tho amendment, and
several other senators will do the same.
The House has cut ont big weeks work
on local and special bills and upon railroad
charters. A spirited debate is expected over
the clauses in these charters providing the
manner in which differences between ia.
dividuals and railroad companies shall be
settled over rights Of way.

How the First News Reached Marshal

BERLIN, Dec. 16.-The Cologne Gazette
accuses Sir r. D. Morier, the British am
bassador at st. Petersburg, of having anti
German leanings, and asserts that while at
Darmstadt in 1870 he sent the first news of
the advance of the Germans across the
MoseEe to London, whence the news
reached Marshal Bazaine. This leaked out
during the Getfcken inquiry.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. lG.-Although a
resolution has been introduced in. the Senate
naming next Saturday as the day for ad-
journmeut, it is by no means settled that
the legislature will adjourn on that day, as
it is stated that the appropriations bill and
tirx act will not have an easy road to travel
when taken up for consideration in the
Senate. Several senators representing
counties in which tho sale OF liquor is al
lowed do not like the amendment made by
the House to tho bill which in
creases the business license of the liquor
dealers from $50 to 500.

with Impunity.
Los ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 16.-Judge
Ross, in the United States court yesterday,
rendered an interesting decision as to the
rights of Indians, living on their own reser-
walton, TO exercise their tribunal laws
and pass sentence Of death. The case was
that of Bill Whaley, Poncho Franco, Scott
Luke, Peter and Jason Clino, Tule river
Indians, charged with the murder Of their
medicine man, Juan Baptist, because
twenty of his patients had died under his care
and the Indians believed he was systemati-
cally poisoning them. To the defendants
was assigned the task by the council o f the
tribe of disposing of the doctor, which they
did by killing him.
LET OFF LIGHT.
s.sThey were allowed to plead guilty Of
mauslaughter, but their counsel raised the
point that the court had no jurisdiction.
Judge Ross, in his decision, stated that
under an act of congress in 1855 all Indians
committing crimes against the persons or
property of other Indians or other persons
within the territory of the United States
are amenable to the law Of the United
States whether on their own reservation or
not. The defendants were sentenced to five
years Imprisonment and fine of 81 each.

In this House Of Representatives to-nor-
row motions in behalf of the committees to
pass measures under suspension of the
rules will be in order; bus the pending
motion, made by Mr.. Dunn of Arkansas, in
his individual capacity, for the passage of
the Nicaraguan canal bill, will have the
right of way, the floor having been yielded
to Mr.. Dunn by Mr.. Warner of Missouri,
who has a motion pending for the passage
Of the Oklahoma bin.
Ii is doubtful whether Chairman Blan-
chard, of the river and harbor committee.
will make any effort to call up the bill of
which he is the chanpion on suspension
day, but a strenuous attempt will be made
to secure its consideration and, IL possible,
its passage during the course OF the week.
Vigorous opposition TO this measure will be
made by some members, who, while favoring
works Of international improvement, be-
lieve that the committee has not sufficient
time to formulate proper bill and that the
present method OF making appropriations
for such purposes Is wrong.

Ice for the Dairy.

1t will be several weeks yet before
winter weather will be severe enough
to make ice thick enough for storing.
In the meantime, says the 1merlran
Dai,ymau, if you have not already
got an ice house, why not 90 to work
and build you one It does not re-
quire very scientific work nor much
Of it. Rough boards are as good as
any if you cannot afford the orna-
mental. There is nothing really USE
full in this country that a man cannot
get if he sets his heart on it and
goes to work the right way to get it..
The ice house will not come to you,
but little energy will get it. You
cannot do good dairy work in hot
weather without the aid of ice, or if
you could, ice would relieve you of
half the work and make you better
satisfied with the trials of life. If
you have an ice house on the farm.
be sure and clean it out, and have
ready for the ice when the cold
weather comes. The old straw or
sawdust in it is liable to be wet and
rotten, SO that it will freeze if the
weather is very severe, SO that you
cannot get it out when you are ready
to fill the house. Clean it out now
and have it off your mind.
