A PARLIAMENTARY FIGHT.
Disagreement Between the French
Senators and Deputies.
[Copmight 1889 bv James Gordon Bennett

[COpHright 1859 by James Gordon Bennettl
PARIS, May 10 New York Herald Gable
Special to THE BEE. The votes taken in
the senate last week on the military law are
of considerable importance. The senate
again adopted the amendments which were
made to the law when it first came up from
the chamber OF deputies and which the latter
body refused to RECEIPT. This disagreement
between the senate and the cham
ber relates to dispensations from the
military service. The senate wishes to grant
an absolute dispcnsation of two years to the
eldest sons of widows and other analogous
situations, but the chamber insists that the
granting of this dispensation shall be left to
the discretion of the military commissions.
On the other hand the chamber had sup
pressed the party dispensations allowed those
who were preparing to become teachers or
to follow certain other liberal pursuits not
including those who were studying for the
clerical profession. These dispensations
have becn introduced into law by the senate
n the face of the strenuous opposition
of the minister of the interior
ana the president of the council
As amended by the senate, the military law
runs a strong chance of not being adopted
by the chamber The senate cut out of the
bill the very provisions that the majority of
the chamber had most mt heart. This latter
body has shown far less concern about the
real interests of the army than it has about
the political interests involved. The first
aim was to pass n law that seemed TO smack
of democratic equalizing principles and
that should apply, with the ut
most severity, the formula that would
let priests shoulder knapsacks. 1t
was especially desirous that young
men, intended for the liberal professions
should be forced to interrupt their studies in
order 10 vegetate, during three years, in inc
army barracks, even though the military in
struction was practically complete at the END
of the first year The senate refused 10 fall
in with these ill-conceived ideas of equality
The unanimous opinion of all competent au-
thorites is that a military service of three
years to be IMPOSED, without distinction on
discrimination on all the youths of the
country, would infiict mortal blow To
intellectual interests by lowering
the standard of French intelli
gence. As for those who desire to
follow clerical career il does not seem tc
be the intention Of those who framed the law
10 make soldiers OF them. They would prob
ably make very poor combatants, but might
perhaps, be of real value in the hospitals
but three years apprenticeship is not neces
sary IN oruer TO become hospital assistant
II is, therefore, without any plausible mo
tive, but only spirit of intolerance, that the
republicans in tho chamber wish 10 impose
three years service on seminary students
These considerations have had some weight
with the senate, but will not find favor will
the chamber.

ACCIDENTS TO SHIPPING.
Several Steamers Collidc--Two Pilot
Boats Gut Down.

Boats Out Down.
New YORK. May ia number of acci
dents to shipping, caused by the thick fog
yesterday, were reported to-day. Two pilots
were lost by the cutting down of pilot boat
No. 5, Charlotte Webb, by the French
steamer La Normandie, bound out. There
were eleven pilots on the boat The men
saved were put on board the Etruria and
landed at Staten Island, this morning. The
men lost were the boatkeeper and the Oldest
pilot on board.
Last night, during the fog, the steamer
City of Atlanta, from Havana, ran into tho
schooner Mary Davis, anchored off the mar
rows, outward bound. She struck the
schooner on her starboard bow and cut clear
through to her foremast. AT 6 o'clock last
night, the steamer Cowal, bound out, was
run into by the steamer Guyundotte, who
cut about fifteen feet into the starboard
quarter of the Cowal. The Guyandotte's
bow was cut seven or eight feet in width, to
within foot of the waters edge. The
Cowal's steering gear was destroyed by the
collision. Both steamers put back for re-
pairs, this morning.

Not n Gala Day.

DEs MONIES, Ia, May 10. Special to THE
BEE. l--Commander Smith, of the Grand
Army department of Iowa, is endeavorng to
have Memorial day this year, kept as
sacredly as possible. He discourages the
practice of making it n gala day, or general
holiday, for amusement purposes, and thinks
that the idea of reverent honor for the dead,
should be with all its solemnity, the
uppermost idea on that day. In his general
order on this subject TO the Grand Army posts
of this state, he notes the disposition that
has prevailed heretofore TO regard Memorial
day as a gala day, with games and other
amusements and schemes for money making.
He believes that this is the result of thought
lessness, rather than an intentional neglect
of what Is rghtfully due to the occasion. So
he requests the posts to take the lead in ar
ranging for public exercises and TO invite all
citizens TO suspend business from 10 a. IN.
TILL 8 p. m, and join in paying reverent
tribute TO the dead

IOwa's Indians,

DEs MONIES, Ia, May 19.-[Specal to
THE BEE, While so much is being
said about the Cherokee Strip ana
the Sioux reservation, and other Indian
lands, there are good many inquiries of the
governor IA to the few Indians yet in Iowa,
and the lands they hold. The Indian ques-
tion, so far as he is concerned, seems to have
taken fresh boom. The only Indians in
Iowa are located near Tama City, IN Tama
county. They are a remnant of the old Sacs
and Foxes, who formerly occupied large
part of this state AT present their lands
embrace very small tract-only about 300
following the Indians in Iowa made a treaty
with the government and sold their lands,
and very generally moved to Kansas and Ne
braska. But shortly before the war, some
OF them began to pine for the old home and
wanted to get back to Iowa. So they bought
the land now occupied by them in Tama
county, and n few hundred of them moved
back. The titles TO their lands are made out
in the name of the governor, who thus acts
as a kind of perpetual guardian of their in
terests They have been doing little farm
ing in very primitive way, but they don't
take kindly to the encroachments of civliza-
tion. They care but little for the schools
which are provided for them, and as n whole
are shftlesS and improvident. The whole
number of Indians in Tama county is now
about 800, and the tribe is slowly passing
away. The government gives them an
annuity of about So, 900, and they usually
make visit to the governor once year to ask
him to have the amount increased. The more
annuity they can get, the less they Will work
The little band of Iowa Indians are not very
suggestive of the noble red man of history.

Iowa Recorders Oreanizing.

DEs MONIES, Ia, May 19.-[Specal to The
BEE. And now it is the county recorders
VINO want state organization to improve
their prospects. An effort is being made to
work up u state convention of recorders and
thus keep up with the sheriffs and
county auditors, who have state organiza
tions and annual meetings. Aside from the
social benefits which would result from such
an organization, the recorders have several
different ends which they hope to reach in
this way. They think that official bonds
should be recorded by the recorder instead
of by the AUDITOR as at present. They think
that fees should be paid for several little
services that they now perform gratuitously,
and that the fee laws should be revised and
made more explicit, so that they can be more
certain of their compensation. Then they
want the recorder to have a seal and some of
the authority that notaries public have.
There are a number of these reforms and
improvements, so far as they are concerned,
that they think could be secured by united
action. The recorder of Chickasaw county
is leading off in the work. and ls stirring up
the other recorders to join in a state con-
vention, and then make state organization.

The Development of Wyoming.

aLARAMIE, Wyo., May 49, Correspond
ence of THE Bee The recent snow fall
here has been of great benefit to stockmen,
as the ground was becoming very dry and
the prospects for n good grass crop were
poor. This country has undergone very
material change in the last few years. Not
long ago it was generally understood that
the country west of the Missouri river was
great big desert. That such impressions
We're wide of the truth, IS attested by the
fact that at intervals are towns and cities
which would well grace older states. Per-
haps among those towns along the line of
the Union Pacific railway, Laramie City is
the most beautiful and thrifty. Lar annie
will furnish more glass during the next ten
years than any other city in America. There
are no glass works in the United States that
are situated in the midst of all glass making
material as those of Laramie are. What is
badly needed to bring about this result is
capitalize brains are here and the mill.
The cattle industry is getting on sounder
basis now that the cattle are owned by more
persons, and consequently, fewer TO the per-
son. The country is fast settling up with a
good class of citizens, who are establishing
permanent bones. These small ranChmen
own from ten 10 200 head OF cattle each, and
with the care usually bestowed, are acquir-
ing competence for rainy days The large
herds are gradually, but surely, being
crowded out, to the benefit of the country.
OF very recent years the fact has been
demonstrated that with reasonable amount
of care and diligence, good crops of the
more hardy varieties of vegetables and
cereals can be raised with profit in this part,
while farther north all fruits ana vegetables
raised in the middle states are successfully
grown. correspondent At Douglas, Wyo.,
writes that pumpkins as large as the fore
wheel OF u wagon are OF rather common oc-
curence, while even larger ones still are
often seen growing The day is fast coming

WYONlSGrS ASPIRATIONS.
The Territory Additions to Don the
Garb Of AStatehoOd

CHEYENNE, Wyo, Nay 10 Especial 1ele-
gram to The BEE. l. The people of Wyoming
are at last waking up to the necessity for
united exerton in securing statehood. At
the last session o. congress a bill was unan-
mously reportel to the senate by the senate
committee on territories, under the pro-
visions of which it is proposed to act. AS
soon as general demand is made, Governor
Warren will issue call for a constitutional
convention. The delegates will be elected
at an election to be held on the second Mon
day in July.
Under the provisions of the bill the num-
ber of delegates is limited to fifty-tive. The
apportionmeut is made on the basis of the
vote cast for delegates in congress at the last
election, and is made by the governor, chief
justice and secretary of the territory The
convention then meets here on the first
Monday in September, ana after adopting a
constitution, submits the same to the people
on tho first Tuesday in November, when
state officers will be voted for should the
constitutional convention so decide.
There was at first some opposition to the
movement because it was feared 1t would
increase taxation, but as the subject is being
better understood the people are wheeling
into line and eagerly demanding that imme-
diate steps be taken. The uncertainty of
congressional action is recognized, and as
congress is now favorably disposed, it is
thought best to strike while the iron is hot
Everybody realizes that statehood will as
sist materially in development; that the
credit of permanent form of government
is better established than a provisional form
that cheap money can be had and foreign
capital is more readily invested. AS 1t now
stands, the territory itself can own compara-
lively little property. Its public institutions
must be maintained either by direct taxa
tion or by bonded Indebtedness Under the
act of congress the latter cannot exceed 4
per cent of the territory's assessabe valua-
tion. Each territory admitted to statehood
receives from the government a bequest of
public lands TO maintain state institutions,
and the senate bill is fairly liberal to wy.
omng IN this respect.
The business of the territory is expected
to receive great impetus through the state
hood movement.
