In the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. On motion Of
Toole OF Montana the senate bill was
passed granting right of way through
Fort Custer military reservation, Monta-
ma, to the Big Horn & Southern railroad.
The house then went into committee of
the whole OF the post Office appropriation
bill. Alter debate the committee rose to
limit debate. That having been done,
Springer reported the conference commit
tee ON the territorial bill had been unable
to agree. Baker of New York offered a
resolution i%nstructing the house conferees
to exclude New Mexico from the bill and
to provide for the admission Of North
Dakota by proclamation, and provide that
Montana and Washington shall be admit
ted on the same terms, either by procla-
nation or by formal acts of admission.
The matter went over until Monday, and
the committee resumed consideration of
the post office appropriation bill.
Mason of Illinois said he was opposed
to the bill not so much on account of the
effect it might have upon the Chicago
post office as for the effect ii might have
upon the seventh district of South Caro-
lima With this preface Mason pro-
ceeded to discuss the Smalls- Elliott con
tested election case. From his study of
the case he had come to the conclusion
that the most gigantic fraud and the most
outrageous and disgusting schemes to rob
Republicans of a representative in the
tiftieth congress ever know I n modern
politics had been perpetrated in the
seventh district of South Carolina
Crisp of Georgia replied at some leugth
and said the records of the case did not
sustain Mason's statement.
The post office bill then being read for
amendment, Carron moved to increase
the appropriation for the pay of postsfice
clerks by $4,000. Pending a vote on the
amendment the committee rose and the
I house adjourned,

INDIANAPOLIS GOSSIP.
Cabinet Speculation Takes a
Rest for One Day.
A Visit from the Marion County
Tippecanoe Club.
Gen. Harrison Receives a
Handsome Gift.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-Cabinet
speculation has rather quoted down, the
only new feature being a feeling OF OPP
position to Windows name which is
developing among some of John News
friends, who however, assert that he is
not booked for any cabinet place but for
an Austrian mission. This afternoon over
one hundred members of the Marion
County Tippecanoe club called on Gen.
Harrison for the purpose of presenting
him with a costly and elegant bible pur-
chased by the club some time ago. The
binding was specially designed for
Gen. Harrison. On the blank pages are
recorded the names of 100 veterans who
have gone from earth and the names of
100 members who participated in the gift.
They were read informally by Gen. Har-
rison. When all had entered the rooms
| the sacred book in its velvet lined case
was placed before the president-elect and
the Rev. DIR. Henry Day made a brief
but eloquent presentation address. Gen.
| Harrison was noticeably affected. In his
reply he returned thanks to the club for
repeated evidence of the respect and re-
gard its members had shown him since
their organization. Referring to the ad-
dress for success in his new post of duty,
expressed by Mr.. Day,the general said:
Il shall lean upon you and upon that
great company of God fearing people
whom | represent. | cannot hope to es-
cape just criticism in the discharge of the
enormous and complicated duties which
are soon to devolve upon me, but | do
hope that | shall escape the fatal error
and that it will appear when my made
quate and brief work is done that l have
set before me as a model of my public
life and a patriotic purpose to promote
the true glory of the country and the
highest good of our people. God bless
you every one. May the consolation of
this holy book fill your lives with peace
and make the last the best day of all your
honorable lives"
At the conclusion of the generals
touching words the veterans passed along
and g~rasping the generals hand in silence
took their leave. The scene was probably
the most solemn and pathetic every wit
messed in Gen. Harrison's house.

on the diplomatic and consular appropri-
alton bill have reached an agreement.

pointment OF a British minister to this
country. The department, however, has
been informed that Mr.. Edwards. first
secretary of the legation at Washington,

will assume charge of affairs Of the lega-
ton and relieve Mr.. Herbert, second tee.
rotary, who has been in charge since the
departure of Lord Sackville in November

is understood by certain officials to mean
that there is no immediate prospect of
the appointment Of a successor to Lord

DETROIT, Feb. 9.-Ex-Senator jones of
Florida this morning received the follow

The Chamber of Torture

is the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism is
confined. If, ere the crisis is reached,
that fine preventive, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, is used by persons of a rheumatic
tendency, much unnecessary suffering is
avoided. Nervines, anodynes and soda
tives, while having o N but a specific
effect, are yet very desirable at times.
Yet can they produce no lasting effect
upon rheumatism, because they have no
power to eliminate from the blood the
rheumatic virus. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters does this, and checks at the outset
a disease which, if allowed to gain head
way, it is next to impossible to dislodge
or to do more than relieve. rheumatism,
it should be remembered, Is a disease with
a fatal tendency from its proneness to
attack the heart. A resort to the Bitters
should, therefore, be prompt. Dyspepsia,
kidney complaint, malaria and nervous
ness are relieved by it.

The Fight in Samoa.

SAN Francisco, Feb. "a Hawaiin
paper received here contains an account
of the recent battle between Germans
and natives at Samoa, written by Hirana
kamuAi, a native Of flanagan who wit
messed the battle. He states the natives
were prepared for an attack as they had
heard the Germans formed a plan to cap
ture King Mataafa and carry him off.
When the German boats approached the
shore the natives hailed them, but the
only answer they received was the crack
ing of shots from the revolver of a
chief from Savoy named Sua. The bat
tie began at 6 O'Clock in the morning and
continued until Q. Then the bodies of
the dead and wounded we're seen
scattered about on the shore. On
Ma;aafa's side seven were killed and
thirty-one wounded during the principal
battle. After this fight a German spy
glass was directed on shore and eight
Samoans were seen around a fire. The
shell fired among these people killed
seven. making the total loss to the natives
fourteen. On thee German side twenty
one were killed. Among these six had
their heads cut oft and the bodies were
buried. The number of wounded was
forty-eight. Tamasese did not come out,
the path on which he was expected
being INSTRUCTED. The Germans set fire
to Samoan houses.
The letter, written under date OF
Jan. l, continues: 1T Is now said the
German warships are going to Tutuila
where the United States c~oaling station
is located to shell the house. When this
is done they arc going to Savoy to burn
it."
