ADMISSION INTO THE UNION.
TIE House Apt TO Pass a Substitute
for the Senate BIZ.

WASHINGTON, Jan l7.-ln the House
this afternoon consideration of the terrific
rial bill was resumed, and speeches were
made in turn by the advocates of every
proposition which has been brought fer
ward
The Senate bill was then read by sections
for amendment. Amendments were adopted
increasing to 1900 acres the grant of land
to the Agricultural college in South Dakota !;
providing that the price Of school lands
shall be SO per acre; fixing April 8 as the
date for the election to decide the question
of accepting the boundaries fixed for the
new state, and the election of state officers
and two members of congress. The read
ing of the bill having been completed Mr..
Springer moved to strike out all after the
enacting clause, and to substitute the omui-
bus bill
POINT OF ORDER.
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan raised a point
of order against the substitute. He rested
his point upon rule 16, which says that no
motion or proposition on a subject different
from that under consideration shall be adj
mitted under color of an amendment. 1t
was true that the order under which the
House was acting provided that House bill
No. s, ,466 might be offered as a substitute
for the Senate bill, but the substitute now
offered was not House bill No S,466, but
was a caucus proposition, differing from
that bill on every page.
THE POINT SUSTAINED.
The speaker sustained the point Of order
and ruled the substitute out
Mr.. Springer then moved to strike out
the enacting clause and insert House bill
No. S, ,466 with certain amendments
The speaker ruled that this was not in
order. All the gentleman had right to do
1,
8,466.
Mr.. Springer thereupon offered that bill
as a substitute
Mr.. Burrows raised a point of order
against it,
The speaker did not rule upon Mr.. Bur-
rows point, but submitted the question to
the House for its decision, "Shall the pro-
posed substitute be entertained and consid-
cred by the House"
Some discussion followed as to what was
intended by the order under which the house
was proceeding. Mr.. Burrows said that as
there was a misunderstanding as to its eff
feet, he would withdraw his point of order.
RECEIVED AS A SUBSTITUTE.
House bill No. S466 was then received as
a substitute.
Mr. Springer then asked unanimous con-
sent that the previous substitute offered by
him (tbe one providing for the division of
DakOtal be considered in its stead.
The speaker protein. (AIr Cox, submitted
the request, and there being no objection, so
stated. Subsequently question arose as
to whether this consent had been grantek,
but no record Of the transaction appeared
in the official reporters notes. Much con
fusion ensued, but finally consent was again
given.
Mr. Mcdonald, Of Minnsota, then off
cred his substitute for Mr.. Springer's pro-
position this substitute embodes the prin-
ci pal features of the omnibus bill except
that it provides for the immediate admission
of South Dakota). Pending its reading the
House at 5 O'clock adjourned.

CORRESPONDENCE READ.
Attorney General Webster then read the
correspondence between Matthew Harris
and Michael Davitt with reference to land
agitation. The only letter that attracted
attention was one from Mr.. Davitt to
Mr. Harris, written in New York,
in which Mr. Davitt said: perhaps
Won are not aware that John O'Leary
is here. He came from Paris to upset my
land league endeavors. He viii go back

Parnell would be shown to the Parnellite
counsel, as the commission seemed to be
within reasonable distance of getting at
them. Attorney General Webster refused
to be pinned to a definite time for, the pro
ducton Of the letters.
Justice Hannen then expressed the opin-
ion that both sides should show the letters
in their possession intended to be used for
comparison.

HARRISON'S HOME.
Georgians on Hand for Conference
Heavy Mails.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 7.-Gen. Harrison
had an unusually large number of callers
to-day, both from out of town and at home.
Col. r. D. Locke of Macon, Ga, arrived
this evening and will be joined tonight by
Col A. e. Buck of Atlanta and DR.. G. w.
w. Arnold Of Albany. Ga. All
are prominent republicans in their
sections. They will confer with Gen.
Harrison tomorrow on Southern politics
Col Buck has been frequently mentioned
rs n cabinet aspirant, but his friends say
that he is in no sense candidate and that
if he were he would not come here.
Gen. Hsrrison's mail seems TO steadily
increase as March 4 approaches.
HORDE OF oFFICE-sEEKERs.
Calendars by the score have arrived from
all parts of tne country, but the bulk of his
mail consists Of applications for Office. At
first tho Endorsements and applications
were chiefly confined to the cabinet places
and the higher grades Of offices, but now he
is being flooded with hundreds of letters
asking for petty clerkships, and is even
petitiOned for places as watchmen.
For the benefit of those making,
or about TO make, applications
il might be OF interest TO state that these
petitions are premature. Gen. Harrison
has no time to peruse them, and probably
not ono in a hundred reaches his eyes
They are simply Endorsed and filed away
for reference when the general gets settle d
down at Washington, and he reaches the
respective cases.
WHEN THEY MAY BE READ.
Not one Of them will be passed upon by
him until his Inauguration, and as the early
applicant acquires no advantage over the
last by reason Of hi, being on hand first. it
would be a convenience and a relief to tho
Presdent-eect and his secretary If appli-
cants for office would restrain themselves
until the new administration takes the reins
of the government
A story has been going the rounds Of the
press purporting TO give an account OF Mrs
Harrison's being snubbed by Mrs. Blaine
on several occasion at the white house dur
ing Gen. Garfield's administration. II is
reliably learned to-day that there is no
truth ia this story.

The First Three Subjects Considered
after Meeting Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE House was
informed this morning that Gov. Hovey's
resignation as representative had been re-
ceived at Indianapolis and accepted.
A committee was appointed to investi-
gate the purchase Of real estate by the com
missioners of the District Of Columbia.
Mr.. Stockdale Of Mississippi, rising to a
question of privilege. sent to the clerks
desk and had read Washington dispatch in
a New York paper stating that he had
voted against Nat McKay's bill in the COM
mittee on war claims because Mr.. Mckay
in the recent presidential campaign had
been guilty of pernicious activity. He said
it was admitted that the bill could not pass
tue House over the Presidents veto, and
the attempt to do so seemed to him to be an
attempt to get a number Of government
officials to aid citizen in criticising the
President He did not wish to be put in
that attitude, and consequently had op-
posed the bill.

Militia, II Necessary - Inoffending
Negroes Driven from the Homes
Their Toll Had Won for Them.
JACKSON, MISS. Jan. 1.-THE following
letter will appear in the Ne,O Mssissippian.
copy was handed to night to the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press:
SuAPULAR, MISS Jan 16 1889
To the Editor Of the Nel0 MtSStssippidn, Jack
son. Mss:
DEAR SrR-I sent you telegram this morning
giving short account Of what is going on in
the northern part of Kemper and the southern
part Of Noxuhee county. | had previously writ
ten to the governor on the same subject am
not seuSationalist, but when mob composed
OF the most depraved and irresponsible part
OF our community, can rob and plumber defense
less women and children and drive them from
their homes, carrying on their barberous work
Tor three weeks without check or hindrance it
IS time some one should take the initiative and
appeal 10 those who are high in authority and
have been intrusted by the law with the preser-
walton OF our lives and property.
ALMOST rSCoNCEIvABLE
Crimes have been committed that the outside
world have not dreamed of. Brutes, feeling no
restraints Of law and order have endeavored to
soc how deep they could steep them
selves in infamy. and, as tee-
graphed you to-day. over forty families
(by actual count have been driven from their
homes, Many of these families by years of
industry and economy, have paid for their
lands, and had stock and supplies sufficient to
make these crops These people have com
mltted no crime, unless indeed it
is crime to be born black. No
charge has ever been made against them.
Three families who sent to me yesterday
for protection, have been notified to leave
within five days. One woman has a child II
days old. and another a child about 3 weeks
old Their limit will expire tomorrow. They
are now rushing through mud and rain, haul
ing their corn, meat, bedding, and household
furniture, to save them from the vaudals.
TRUSTING TO THE GOVERNOR.
1t is time that the press of the state should be
aroused. We have been crimnalys Negligent in
permitting these Outrages to go ON almost at
our doors without giving any notice to the out
side world. | am, perhaps, not competent to
judge, but 1t does seem to me that the governor
Of the state ought to place these people back on
their farms and protect them there in the en-
ioyment OF the fruits of their labor and the
comforts Of their homes, IL il should take the
militia Of the state to do it.
Make what use you please of this letter. IL
it will serve even in a slight degree. to draw
the attention Of lovers Of law and order and
fair play TO the vandalism now going on at our
very doors it viii have served a good purpose.
Respectfully, S. ID. CHANBERLAIN
Gov. Lowry is making diligent inquiry
into the facts and will take all necessary
measures to suppress the lawlessness.

STANLEY REACHED EMIN BEY.
LONDON, Jan. 17-Sir Francis Dewinton
is of the opinion that Stanley reached Emln

Emin's headquarters to the east coast
would occupy from six to ten months.
Sir Francis has received a letter from Maj.

of Lieut.. Baert, Tippoo Tbs secretary, on

Committee's Proposition.

The Senate Discusses the Finance
Commuters Proposition.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Senate at
1920 o'clock to-day resumed consideration
Of the tariff bill, the pending question being
an amendment to the tin plate paragraph.
Mr.. Hale asked Mr.. Allison to state what
portions of the bill remained unacted on.
Mr.. Allison specified as among the
important matters yet to be acted
on the wooden, sugar and wool and
wOolen schedules, with q great many
detailed points from other sections, such as
rice, cutlery and various other things that
would lead to more or less debate. Discus
sion of the amendment was continued by
Messrs. Vest, Allison. Dawes, Teller, Cor
man, Sherman, Patt, Salisbury, Plumb,
Aldrich, Mitchell and Cullom. Finally a
vote was taken and the amendment was
adopted by % yeas TO IS nays, Mr. Brown
voting aye. 1t fixes the duty on
tin plate taggers irons or steel
when valued at cents per pound
or less, thinner than No. 10, and not thinner
than No. % wire guage, at cent per pound !;
on thinner plates at 1-l0 cents and l $40
cents and 4-l0 cents per pound, and on

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.
The amendment proposing bounty on
sugar made from beets, sorghum or sugar
cane grown in the United States
was then taken up. Mr.. Vest
declared emphatically his opposition
to all such bountIes, which he considered
the most Objectionable form Of protection
a partnership" between the government
and the recipient of the bounties.
Mr.. Allison defended the bounty PROPOSE
tion and was cross-examined as to its proba-
bic effect and what brought it about by
Messrs. Eustis and Gibson OF Louisiana.
Mr.. Vest hinted at the "new light"
which had broken in upon the finance com
mittee and at "the political exigency"
which had led to the reporting Of the
amendment.
Mr.. Allison denied emphatically that his
Judgment or that of the committee on this
matter had been controlled by any ''politi-
cal exigency."
AN EXPERIMENT.
He looked upon the proposed bounty as
an experiment and had been willing TO
come TO it last summer, but other senators
had not been willing to do so; SO that If the
senator from Missouri had expected to catch
al piAlle DJ MS ioAll4b ACdAHA u no hAA
made a great mistake.
Mr. Vest denied fishing intentions, and
Mr.. Frye suggested that the 'old trout was
altogether too shy to rise at such fly.
[Laughterl
Messrs. Sherman, Plumb, Stewart and
Morrill, advocated the amendments, and de-
clared that they could not see how it could
have political effect, and Mr.. Eustis spoke
at length in opposition to II. No vote was
reached, and after a short executive session
the Senate, at $40 o'clock, adjourned.

PARIS, Jan. I'm. Relnach, editor Of

ber of prominent Orleanists recently told
the Duke d'Aumale that it would be to the
partys interest to support Gen. Boulanger
in the pending election in the department
of the Seine for member of the chamber of

that he did not know whether such support
would be to the party's interest, but he was
sure it would not be to its credit.
1t is reported that a decree abrogating
the decree of exile against the Duke D'Au-
male awaits President Carnot's signature,
and that if Gen. Boulanger is defeated in
the coming election the decree will be pub
