OKLAHOMA TERRITORY.
The House Adiourns Just Before
Reaching a Vote.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-The house this
afternoon went into committee of the whole
with MIR. Docllery of Missouri, in the chair,
on the Oklahoma bill The bill was opposed
by Mr.. Hooker of Mississippi, who called it
bill to legalize robbery of the wards of the
nation, and was favored by MessrS Stock
dale of Mississippi, Perkins of Kansas, and
Cobb of Alabama, who thought that the
whole argument upon which the measure
was based was that the Indian had no right
which the white man was bound to respect.
IN THE USUAL WAY.
Mr.. Svmes of Colorado suggested that
the bill provided for a commission to treat
with tho Indians for their lands in the usual
way.
Mr.. Cobb replied that it was this usual
way 10 which he objected. The usual way
TO treat with the Indian was with rifle in
one hand and an AK in the other. 1t was
time the "usual way" should cease
Mr.. Canon of Illinois believed that sound
policy, craftsmanship and humanity, all
dictate that congress should take lands
outside of the territory Of the civilized
tribes, and put them under the COVE nmont
of the law, SO that the sOrOng arm of the
law should be laid upon white men, who, in
the teeth of the law, went upon those lands.
He believed it was sound policy to treat
with the Indians, so as 10 throw open the
lands to settlement. He was for the bill
because it tended in the proper direction.
READ FOR AMENDMENTS.
The general debate closed and the bill
was read by paragraphs for amendments.
On motion of Mr.. Carey of Wyoming an
amendment was adopted providing that
after the territory of Oklahoma shall have
been organized for five years the territorial
officers shall be appointed from among the
citizens of the territory.
Mr.. Payson of Illinois offered an amend
ment providing that the lands contained in
Oklahoma territory shall be disposed Of
under the homestead laws instead of at
81 25 per acre as proposed by the bill.
Pending vote the committee rose
Mr. Sayers of Texas from the commit
tee on appropriations, repOrte the fortih-
cation appropriation bill and it was re
ferred to committee Of the whole.
Mr. Springer gave notice that he would
press the Oklahoma bill to a final vote to-
morrow, and if any disposition to tilIibuster
against it is shown he will, the first thirg
i'll the morning, ask top call of the house
in order to secure the attendance of a quo
rum.
The house then, at O'clock took a recess
until S o'clock, the evening session to be for
the consideration of bills reported from the
committee on the judiciary.

ADJOURNMENT PROSPECTS,
The Senate's Tariff Bill Not SO Threat
ening as at First Feared.

ening as at First Feared.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The outlook for
a greatly protracted session in consequence
of last nights republican conference decis-
ion is not so threatening as appears to be
generally supposed. The tariff bill of 1888
was under discus ion in the senate in inter
missions for other business less than six
weeks. While there is material i'll the
present situation for an almost endless de-
bate there is also promise that the extreme
of possibility will not be tested at the end
of eight months of continuous session.
CAN REPORT IN A WEEK.
1t is thought that the committee can
complete its bill and its report in week
or ten days The senate will then probably
begin its sessions at II o'clock and sit seven
hours daily, with evening sessions as the
debate proceeds
The certainty of the result and the diff
Guilty of keeping a quorum of the house
together with little of Importance to do
after the appropriations bills shall have
been disposed of, and more than all else the
increasing heat, give cause TO believe that
six or seven weeks hence, If not sooner, the
present session will find its record made up
and its work done. Moreover, nineteen
formal tariff speeches by exact count have
already been delivered in tie senate.

HRONEK'5 DYNAMITE.
Police Induce His Wife to Reveal It's
Hiding Place.

CHICAGO, July 26.--It i, stated to-day
that since the arrest of Hronek, the chief
would-be assassin of Judge Gary, ex-States
Attorney Grinnell and Inspector Bonfield,
the police have made an important discov-
cry by working upon the fears of Hronek.
Surprisingly little dynamite was found
at Hroneks house at the time of his
arrest, the bulk of The contraband goods,
consisting of bombs in various stages of
completion. The police were convinced
that he had access TO plenty of dynamite,
and when the subject was properly pre-
sented TO Mrs Hronek she led the way to
the basement of the building in which
Sebic's shop is, and to the delight of the Off
GERS, who allowed her tC do the searching,
returned to the open air with a market
basket full of half-pounC sticks of the stuff
There were fully ten pounds of it-enough
to have blown the whole neighborhood sky
ward. 1t is said that the testimony before
the grand jury shows that Sebic, as well as
Hronek, knew where the dynamite was con-
Cealed

TALK ABOUT THE FISHERIES.
Senator Morgan Thinks the Treaty
Should Be I temporarily Withdrawn.

Senator Morgan Thinks the Treaty
should Temporarily Withdrawn.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The senate this
afternoon proceeded to consideration of the
fisheries treaty in open executive session,
and was addressed by Mr.. Wilson of Mary
land in favor of its ratification. Following
Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Salisbury took the floor
and said he would address the senate to-
morrow and Mr. Vance gave like notice
for Saturday.
Mr.. Frye laid that he would ask the SEN
ate to meet at II o'clock Saturday, Monday
and Tuesday mornings, and until a vote
was reached on the treaty, adding that
shortly the tariff bill would be before the
senate and would occupy all its time.
TELLER ATTACKS BAYARD.
Mr. Teller made another attack upon Mr..
Bayard, commented upon what he termed
some OF the remarkable statements in the
speech of the senator from Maryland and
spoke of an edict having gone out from the
white house that the treaty was to be sup
ported. He accused Mr.. Wilson of having
openly espOused the Canadian size of the
question, and of having gone Seyond Cana
dian statesmen III advocating their cause.
his remarks provoked retorts from
Messrs. Wilson, Salisbury and Morgan.
MORGAN FAvoRS WITHDRAWAL.
Mr. Morgan said that if he were President
of the United States he would withdraw the
treaty from consideration until the sena-
tors got their minds clear enough to con-
slider it on its merits. He believed that the
honorable and venerable statesman in front
of him (AIr. Eyarts) would from his knowl-
edge # diplomacy do it. He would with
draw it and send it back after the political
campaign had ended and after motives for
political strife had ceased
After further discussion participated in
by MesSrs. Evarts, Teller, HOar and Vance,
the matter went over without action
Two presidential vetoes were read and
referred and the senate adjourned till to-
morrow.
FINES RENTED.
OTTAWA, ONT, July 26.-The Dominion

imposed upon each of the American vessels,
Annie Hodgson and Arthur Storey, for
landing men at Shelbourne without report
ing to the customs officers. The govern

Georgian bay to protect the fishing grounds

other amendments, the bill was reported

senate.
Mr.. Berry called for a separate vote on
Mr.. Hawley's amendment, and proceeded
to address the senate in opposition to it.
MIR. GoRMAN's OPPOSITION.
Mr.. German also opposed the amendment
He did not believe that the army apprOpri-
alton bin was the proper place for consider
alton of the question, but if the senate
were to enter on its consideration he should
propose as all amendmenta proposition that
had been thoroughly considered elsewhere
hneanjng in the house committee on appro-
pTiations), appropriating S3S, 100000 to be
expended in certain amounts yearly up to

of a law providing with great particularly
