HUI 81.
WASHINGTON, January 10. - The
House, this morning. continued con-
sideration OF the Territorial bill, the
pending question being on McDonald's
substitute for Springer's omnibus bill
which itself is substitute for the Sen
ate Dakota bill.
The House proceeded Immediately to
vote upon McDonald's substitute which
never had been read, but which en-
bodies the main features of the omni-
bus bill, except that it provides for the
immediate admission of South Dakota.
The substitute was rejected-yeas III,
nays liz.
Mcdonald and Farsney were the
only Democrats in the solid Repu bllcan
vote in favor of the proposition.
Springer then offered an amendment
to the omnibus bill looking to the re-
submission of the Sioux Falls constitu-
ton in 1885 in case the Territory di-
Yided.
Mr.. Springer demanded the previous
question on the pending amendment
and the third reading of the bill. The
Republicans demanded further time,
but Springer was obdurate, but finally
agreed to allow one hour.
Randall declared the Territorial bills
were taking up the time due to the ap-
preparation bills, and the edict
"DeN'T VOTE"
went forth, leaving the House without
a quorum. Springer then withdrew his
demand for the previous question, and
the discussion was resumed.
After some political sparring between
Springer and Warner, Strubble. of Iowa,
read a letter wri ten by Springer to
Governor Ross, of New Mexico, asking
him to secure memorials for the admis-
sion of that Territory and forward them
to Washington. He read this. he said
to contrast Mr.Springer's frlen diiness to
New Mexico, whose Legislature never
petitioned for admission, with his I'M
friendliness to Dakota.
Springer replied that the Republican
Legislature of New Mexico rendered a
vote of thanks to Delegate Joseph and
himself for their assistance in that Ter
ritory.
Perkins, of Kansas, moved an amend
ment by providing that if the Souix
Falls constitution is ratified by the
people of South Dakota, the President
shall issue proclamation declaring the
State of South Dakota admitted into
the Union,
Dougherty, of Florida, offered an
amendment
INCLUDING UTAH
and Arizona Territories, saying he
could not see why the omnibus bill OF
Democratic origin, should let in all the
Republican and keep out all the Demo.
cratic Territories. He did not see why
Utah should be kept out. The people
were fully equal to Statehood, and were
among the most reliable Democrats in
the country. In this case religious
prejudice operated to keep out Utah.
Why should she be kept outP l believe
it is bad politics for the party to admit
Territories which will strengthen it's
opponents and keep out those that will
strengthen itself. Ruled out on point
of order.
The House then proceeded to vote on
THE OMNIBUS BILL,
as amended as substitute of the Sen
ate messure-yeas 1873, nays 1904
party vote.
Baker. of New York, then moved to
recommit the bill, with instructions, to
the committee on Territories, to report
back the bill for the immediate admis-
sion of South Dakota and enabling acts
for Montana and North Dakota. The
Senate bill, as amended was then passed
yeas LA, nays SO.
Springer moved to amend the title SO
as to conform to the body of the bill.
Grosvenor, of Ohio, thought the title
should read so as to try to convince the
people of Dakota that the party is will
ing that Dakota should come into the
Union, but in fact to keep that Terri
tory and all others that have a Repub-
lican majority out of the Union fore an
indefinite period of time. During the
last session OF Congress a gentleman
from Illinois. and those who acted with
him, had refused to consider the bill
for the admission of Dakota, but
THEY HAD HEARD A VOICE.
It had been the voice of the magnif-
cent population of the northwest. 1t
had said that the Democratic party ID
unfit to rule the country. The people
of the northwest had called for bread
and the Democratic caucus had given
them stone. There was nothing in the
bill now but delay; its purpose was de-
lay, and to defraud the people out OF
their rights.
Springer's motion was agreed.
The House then took recess, the
evening session to be for the considera-
ton of private pension bills.
At the evening session the House
passed thirty private pension bills and
at 10. 80 adjourned till tomorrow.
