Routine Business.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-A motion to sus-
pend the rules and adopt resolution pro-
viding for the final vote on the Oklahoma
bill in the house on Thursday next was
agreed to; yeas, 1873, nays, 76. AS the con-
slderation of the tariff bill in the senate
draws to close, speculation is rife as to
how the measure will be treated when it
reaches the house. So far there has been
nothing like formal conference on either
side upon the subject, although members Of
the ways and means committee have indi-
vidually been thoughtfully considering the
matter. The republicans are inclined to
leave the matter to the democrats and the
latter will let it die in the committee. Sen
ator Davis presented to-day petition
signed by Hon. p. Cudmora and 274 other
citizens Of Fairibault, Mimi, praying that
steps be taken by the United States gov
Island of Cubo. Referred.

To BE Dismissed.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE Times tomorrow
will say that within the past week it has
been promised on behalf of Mayor Roche
that he would dismiss from office for cor
ruption and dishonesty Inspector Bonfield
and Captain Setback, the two police officers
so widely known through their connection
with the Haymarket riot and hanging of
the anarchists. This announcement is
made in reply to proposition sent this
afternoon from Mayor Roche to j. j. West,
proprietor of the Times, asking that all
evidence against the police officials be SUBJ
mitted to three we'll known citizens named.
the purpose stated by the mayor being to
determine whether the Times demand for
the immediate suspension of the accused
should be acceded to pending trial of The
matter in court. The Times answer to be
published tomorrow is that sufficient
sworn proof against the police officials was
some days ago submitted to the Mayors
intimate associates and that the Times
was thereupOn repeatedly assured of
the discharge of BOnfeld and Schaach
forthwith. Having gone to such length in
the public interest, the Times will not now,
it says, be inveigled on any subterfuge
whatever into prematurely exposing GER
tain proof necessary to the proper defense
of the $800O00 of libel suits and other legal
proceedings against the paper. That evi-
dence, the Times says, should not now
be furnished to anybody not empowered
by law to punish crime. The paper is not
vet through, however, with its eXtraOrdi-
nary disclosures,

Not Down on the Bills.

CINCINNATI, Jan. pa duel in real
earnest took place on the stage of the
Standard theatre last night between Rum
ming Deer, an Indian chief, and Capt. Jack
Crawford, scout. The Indian was drunk
and in the duel scene attempted to kill
Crawford. 1t was hard and terrific fight
with knives. According to the play Craw-
ford should have taken the knife from the
redskin, who is Comanche. He refused
to give it up an d made some vicious lunges.
After desperate struggle the scout got
the upper hand and pricked the Indian two
or three times in the side; with the threat
demonstrations. After the play the Indian
escaped and the police are looking for him,
fearing he may do some harm.

A Fierce Wrestling Match.

SCRANTON, Pa, Jan. 21.-A thousand
people in Turner hall tonight witnessed
the wrestling match between Matsadi
SOrikichi, "the JAP" ana Antonio Pierce,
"the Greek" The match was catch-as-
catch-can. The first bout was won by "the
Jap'' after twelve minutes and terrible
struggle. In the second bout the wrestling
became desperate and they violated the
rules by striking at each other. There was
intense excitement at this time and
riot was almost percipitated when
it was seen the that :Greek" strangled the
"Jap" until blood flowed from his nostrils.
The crowd roared foul. A cessation of
hostilities followed, which gave the "Jap"
who was rapidly weakening, time to re-
cover and when the battle was renewed he
went at the ''Greek" with vigor, but the
latter's strength finally forced the "Jap'' to
yield to leg and neck lock. This bout
lasted forty seven minutes. The "Jap,"
agile heretofore: appeared to lose strength
and the big "Greek" twisted and turned
him until he got a leg lock and the "Jap''
went down, thus losing the bout and
match,

callers to day, both from out of town and
at home Among his morning callers was
Hon. H. w. Stone, messenger from the

Prospective Postmaster General.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2S.-John Wanna
maker arrived on the 1880 train. Being
late the committee from the local Wanna
maker club which was uniformed by him
was at the depot to escort their patron
through the city, but they missed him in
the crowd. Wannamaker alighted unac-
companied and finally passed through the
crowd at the gates without being recOg-
nized. He took a carriage and drove direct
to Gen. Harrison's where he lunched. He
will return to Philadelphia this afternoon.
1t was the first meeting between General
Harrison and his guest, who came alone.
No introduction being considered neces-
sary. After dinner they retired to the
back par!or and enjoyed long confer
ance. The conference was one the longest
held by General Harrison Since his cleo
ton, lasting lully three hours, showing
they must have had q good deal to talk
about, especially as General Harrison is
noted for the cOnciseness and directness
with which he handles any topic
he is discussing and with these
gifts he can cover about
as much conversational ground in half an
hour as any ordinary talker would in two
hours. No third party was present at the
conference which concluded at after 4
O'Clock when the general bid his guest
good bye and turned his attention to
score or more of callers who awaited him
in other rooms. Mr.. Wanamaker spent a

Bribery Charged.

Sr. PAUL, Jan. 21.-The legislative in
vestigating committee appointed to look
into the stories Of bribery in connection
with last weeks senatorial caucus has been
in>session all the afternoon and till a late
hour tonight. A large number of persons
have been examined, but the meeting is
strictly secret and no reliable reports of
the developments can be had. Bribery
charges are rumored against both Wash
burn and Sabin. All sorts of sensational
reports have been current and tit is claimed
and pretty generally believed that it is all
a scheme to bring about bolt from the
caucus. Democrats will compliment, by
their votes, Senator Durant, who IS per-
sOnalt friend OF Sabln. 1t is their hope that
a deadlock will give them the balance
power and they can elect senator as they
did Sabin. For reliable particulars as to
the Il probable bribery the committee's report
must he awaited. The committee has
chosen as legal adviser, William Erwin,
who lis Sabin man, while Washburn'S
attorney is democrat. A prominent
leader OF the Washburn forces tonight ex-
pressed the belief that no choice will be
made for thirty days. In case Of a dead
dock Knute Nelson is looked upon as the
probable United States senator In place of
Sabln. 1t is even asserted that he has been
figuring on it all along.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-In the senate
varions amendments to the tariff bill were
offered and rejected. On motion of Mr..
Allison the date for the bill to go into eff
feet was changed from the 1st of February
1889, to the 1st Of July, 1889. There being
no further amendments offered, vote was
taken first on agreeing to substitute and
then on the paragraphs of the bill. Both
votes were identical-yeas SO, nays 3O-a
strict party vote. Mr.. Riddleberger stated
he voted right along with the republican
party and with the finance committee for
the bill, but there was nothing in the bill
which would have justified him in voting
for it after the adoption of the amendments
of the senator from Kansas (Pluc), (pre-
sumably customs commissioner provisoD.
Therefore, if he had not been paired and
had not felt under obligations to preserve
that pair, he should not have voted for the
bill. The senate adjourned ats O'clock.
