CONGRESSIONAL FiLfBUsrt RS.
Gives Rise to a Severe Sectional Contest.
Especial 20 the Times

WAsnrSGToS, April 5-The most Sc
we're sectional contest that has occurred
for years in the House was precipilated
last night on the direct tax bill. The
House seemed 10 take fire like tinder, and
though the contest was induced merely
on y Quibble, it ragged until 230 am,
when the wearied statesmen sullenly
withdrew under resolution for recess
until fl:45 to-day No sooner did the
curtain roll up on the scene this morning
than the champions on both sides rushed
into the arena, and at 1890 the fight Is
growing hotter, with little chance of q
truce.
The direct tax bill provides for the re-
| payment of the direct taxes collected
during the civil war The leaders of the
opposition to the bill were Breckenridge
OF Arkansas, Oates of Alabama, McMil-
Ian of Tennessee, and Weaver OF Iowa
Mr. Breckenridge, in this contest, Is en-
titled TO the credit of introducing a new
trick in the noble game of fli-
clustering. He moved that Mr..
Mcmillan be excused from voting on
motion for recess, and this induced a
spirited contest over the requirements of
the Sth rule, and the sIde-show brought
MesSrs. Reed, Burrows, Taylor, Buch-
AMMAN, Grosvenor, and other Republicans
pranciug into the ring. AS the roll
was about TO be called Mr. Cannon moved
to excus9 Mr.. Mcmillan from voting ON
the motion, and at once the House per
ceiyed tha, Mr. Breckenbridges brilliant
stroke had been a revelation in filibuster.

that has been so ridiculous
STATESMEN COOLING DOWN.
WAsmNGToN, D. O., s p. m.-The

settlement than IT was last night In the
meantime the two days assigned to the
important business of the commerce

rations to 900 Arapahoes and LOO Sho-

of the Arapalloes are at the bottom of the
trouble. Two white men were found dead
near the Rattlesnake mountains on
the reservation, where they were doubt

Contract Labor Matters.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Representative
Ford of the committee on contract labor
returned to Washington this morning.
Speaking of the results of the trip to-day
Mr.. Ford said: II do not believe that we
shall make a report until the entire investi-
cation is completed and we have more inn
portant testimony to take; but what we
have taken has convinced the committee
that something positive must be done.
The laws relating to contract labor have
been violated to an alarming extent be-
cause of the lack Of machinery to enforce
them. The whole Of Italy is flooded with
steamship agents who are telling lies about
the United States to induce emigration
One OF the facts brought to light incident
| ally was that naturalization papers are
being issued fraudulently to an alarming
extent. Another fact developed was that the
| New England fishermen about whose rights
we have had so much trouble, are really
made up of aliens to the extent of rs per
cent. AS to the remedy, although we Shall
undoubtedly recommend some legislation.
the committee has not agreed upon the
form it shall take. One form which it ap-
pears to me would be effective would
require man to declare his intention of
becoming an American citizen six months
before leaving his native country. That
would enable the nearest American con
sui or agent to inquire into his character
and ascertain whether or not he is a
criminal or pauper. Again, some mem
bers favor tax of about 300 on each i'm
migrant, but can't agree to that Dan.''

call that committee together again because
it had failed. Mr.. Hale said that every
particle of testimony taken by the COM
mittee was before the world. 1t had been
taken with open doors and the reporters
were invited to be present. The world
knew that the administration was dis
credited in its pretense of civil service
reform, and even the New York Evening
Post, a clamorous able organ of the admin
tration, had said that no man was left who
placed credit in the reform statements or
assumptions of the present administra-
tion. Pending disposition of the confer
ence report, the senate went into secret
session and soon adjourned.

The House.

The house spent considerable time over
the equestion as to whether members should
be granted leave of absence in order that
they might take part in the campaign.
The question came up on a request for
leave by Mr.. Grosvenor in order that he
might fill engagements to speak in Maine.
His request was finally granted. Mr.. Hol-
man of Indiana introduced bill to slls-
pend laws touching the disposal of public
lands except the homestead laws. Re.
ferred. The house then went into com.
mittee on the Oklahoma bill, the debate
on the pending section Of the bill being
limited to three hours. Mr.. Payson took
the floor in support of his amendment to
the bill requiring that land thrown open
tor settlement shall be disposed of by
homestead entry and not sold by pre-.
emption, as proposed by the bill, SO as tc
secure enough money for the satisfaction
of the Indians for lands relinquished
After considerable discussion the house
adjourned,

A Pressing Invitation to Absent Con-
gressmen to Visit the Capital.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-In the house,
after some preliminary business, MIR.
Burns of Pennsylvania moved that the
house go into committee on the deficiency
appropriation bill. A call of the house
showed no quorum. Mr.. Payson, of Illi-
nois, who had objected to the several
leaves of absence, offered resolution re-
voking all leaves of absence except those
granted on account of illness, the revoca-
ton to take effect on Monday next. Mr.
Cameron sharply critiZed the democratic
management OF the house for permitting
the absences OF members. Mr.. Wilson of
Minnesota charged the friends of the
French spoliation claims with breaking a
quorum in order that certain lobbyists
could get their hands into the treasury.
Mr. Quinn Of Arkansas offered an amend-
ment to MI. Payson's resolution directing
the sergeant-at-arms to inform the absen-
tees by telegraph of the action Of the house.
Mr.. Dunn's amendment was agreed to as
amended. Mr.. Payson's motion was
adopted. After consuming a couple Of
hours in a vain effort to secure quorum
the house adjourned. .--

SAID BY BLIINE.
A scathing Opinion cn the Object Of the
Mills' Tariff Bill.

CALAIS, Me-, Aug. 29.-Hon. james G.
Blaine addressed an audience of from
5000 to 5000 people in this city this morn
ing. He devoted the opening portion of
his speech to an attack upon the Mills
tariff bill, which he said might aptly be
termed "a bill for the destruction Of the
material interests of Maine" 1t is a bill,
he says, to throw open our American mar-
kets to the Canadians without considera-
tion, recompense or exchange Of any kind.
Commenting on President Cleveland's re-
taliatory message he asked why it might
not be reasoned that as soon as the senate
defeats the Mills bill thepresident will not
make another somersault and change as
radically in regard to the tariff as he has
in regard to the fisheries. Said Mr.. Blaine:
"May not his belated letter of acceptance
disclose such radical but temporary
change as will show him a protectionist
up to the point of a prohibitory tariff ?
Would it be whit more inconsistent
than his sudden conversion on the fish

BERLIN, Aug. 25.-The Emperor William
will not visit the Vatican unless the Vati-
can authorizes to arrange that there shall
be no semblance in the ceremony of superb
ority. The Vatican. in the meantime, de-
clines to make an exception of the new
German emperor. The Cologne Gazette
says the attitude of the pope represents an
absolute abandonment of the papacy. No
Europea an power now cares to support its
pretensions to be the spiritual guide Of the
people. Despite the attitude Of the Vati-
can Emperor William personally desires
to see the pope: Arrangements have been
made at the Vatican to receive the en-
peror with the usual ceremonies. The
pope refuses any lackstairs conference
within court circles. 1t is known that
Prince Bismarck has had trouble in per
suading Emperor William to submit 10
the papal ceremonial.

MICHIGAN FOREST FIRES.
Considerable Damage Already Done and
Further Destruction Feared,

MARQUETTE, MICH, Aug q. Forest
fires are raging along the railroad lines in
the peninsula. At Mumford twenty-five
buildings were burned, causing loss of
$4,000, with little insurance. At Corney
the Menosha Wooden Ware company lost
500 cords of slaves, a barn and twenty tons
OF hay. Brown Il Co. in bark and cedar
posts lost $4,000 1t is feared that in the
back districts there will be loss of life. 1t
is difficult to get reports about the fires
near Nadeau, but it is believed they are
worse than at first reported. Several
buildings burned last night and the village
is going by piecemeat. A number of fam
lilies living on farms near the village es-
capped with nothing but their clothes and
are now being cared for at Powers. Ow-
ing to tine flames and smoke it is imrossi-
BILE to tell whether any of the people living
farther back from the settlements have
lost their lives or not. The family of seven
reported missing from Mumford have not
yet been heard from.

the ST. Paul & Duluth road is here for a
few days. He says his road will not enter
into the agreement in regard to railroad
rates proposed by the Chicago roads.
While he did not specifically SO state he
left the inference that the early compile
tion OF the Eastern Minnesota branch of
the Manitoba, giving that road compet-
ing line between St. Paul and Duluth, had
something to do with this determination.
The announcement of conference of the
roads on this question here to-day was a
