THAN EVER UNDER HIS BILL.
washington, jan IA Special Chairman Springer.

requirement of the Democratic caucus. Mr. Springer
says he VIII ask the House to consider the Senate
bill and the caucus substitute This sub
titute should be stated. does not provide for the
admission into the Union of Dakota or any other
Territory. 1t simply authorizes the people OF several
Teirtores hold constitutional conventions and frame
constitutions, which must be submitted to Congress
and approved by special act before they take elect
20 senator Representative from any one Of the
new States take his in Congress- until after
mat body shall have admitted such State into the
Union by a special act
AS to the admission of Dakota, Mr. Springer has
embodied proposition to the effect that the Terr-
tory shall not be divided unless the voters north of
the seventh standard parallel shall vote in favor OF
division and the voters south of this parallel shall
also vote In favor Of division. If both North and
South Dakota vote In favor Of DIVISION the delegates
elected In each shall meet In separate conventions to
frame a constitution: North Dakota is TO DO known
as North Dakota or Dakota the North Dakota
convention shall determine. and South Dakota shall
be called by that or by any other except
Dakota which the South Dakota convention may do
termine. Each Of the Dalotas shall be entitled to
one Representative In Congress until apportonment
for Representatives under the Eleventh Censu5 shall
have been made but II Dakota DO admitted as a whole

visions OF the bill apply also TO the Territories OF

rtory shall meet July 4. 1880. frame a CON
stuton, and the election for the ratification or Nc.
lection of said constitutions shall be held on the Tues
day after the first Monday of November. 1885,
1t win DO THAI this substitute which pretends
TO provide for the admission Of new States does no
such thing, and confers authority upon the people
OF the Territories which they do not possess In
short, IL IS a sham.

which II was adopted by vote Of 1855 TO e5 result
which seemed to Indicate that the Oklahoma BIZ can
not be passed under a suspension Of the rules. As
soon as the report was submitted Mr.. Payson, OF
Illinois, an opponent of the Oklahoma measure, moved
TO recommit 1t with instructions to the committee to
bring in resolution making the Dependent Pension
bill continuing special order. The motion ruled
out of order, and Mr. Payson then moved 10 recommIt
with instructions TO modify the report 10 con-
tinue the o'clock order In force on suspension
days" This motion rejected, and Mr.. Cannon,
OF the Committee Rules, spoke in favor Of the
port Mr.. Reed said that he had labored in season
and out of ia the committee and In the House
for such reforms would enable majority Of the
House to control its business. He had opposed the
adoption Of the O'Clock order, which was an invi-
taton to flibusterng, and he favored its abrogaton
now because 1t would give the majority a small NOR
sci of the power TO which 1t entitled.
Mr.. Payson declared that the resolution was the
product of bargain between the Democratic mem
bers of the Committee on Rules and Mr. Weaver, and
that the object Of 1t to enable the friends OF the
Oklahoma bin the Pacific Refunding bill and the
Copyright bin to press those measures despite all
opposition. Mr.. Payson then caused 10 be read the

nfade a vigorous onslaught ON the Oklahoma bin and
brought out some features OF that measure which he
declared ought TO prevent any honest member OF the
House from supporting IT,
Mr.. Randall said he had never been present when
any such bargain was made and Weaver had never
met with the Committee on Rules. Mr.. Randalps

Washington Jan. 14.--At the investigation by sub
committee of the Senate Committee into the conduct OF
the Office of Supervising Architect to-day Assistant
Secretary Maynard and George O. Vannerta' CHIEF
draughtsman of the Office, recommended reorganiza-
ton of the force Of the Office. Secretary Fairchd,
Judge Maynard said, anxious to put the office, as
far as practicable under the Civil Service rules, but
It would be necessary to exempt architects ana
draughtsmen from the rule. Other recommendations
made by Judge Maynard were that the selection OF

Federal officers Of the district and civil engineer,
whose decision shall be final; that the superintendent
Of the erection Of public buildings be entrusted TO
permanent force attached to the Office of the Super
visng Architect and that the Office be made bureau
of the department instead of mere division, as 1t is
now He strongly favored the practice Of contracting
for the entire building at rhe outset Of IT'S erection
