SESSION OF THE SENATE.
The Bill Providing a Government fo
Oklahoma Passed.

The Bill Providing a Government for
Oklahoma Passed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The Senate this
morning resumed consideration of the bill
to provide temporary government for the
territory Of Oklahoma, the pending ques-
tion being on Mr.. Plumb's amendment to
comprise No Mans Land within the new
territory. After some discussion the
amendment was agreed to by vote of n
yeas to 16 nays.
declaring that all that part of Indian ter
rtory west of the 96' of longitude, known
as the Cherokee Outlet, shall be attached to
the territory of Oklahoma for judicial pur-
poses, but that the law and procedure shall
be the same as obtain in the remainder of
Indian territory. The debate continued,
but no action had been taken on the amend
ment at o'clock, when the educational bill
came up as the unfinished business. But on
being appealed to by Mr.. Platt Mr.. Blair
consented not to press his bill at this
time, but to permit the Oklahoma bill to be
proceeded with. After further discussion,
Mr.. Plumb's amendment was rejected.
NO RAILROAD BONDS TO BE ISSUED.
Mr.. Vest offered an amendment prohibit
ing the legislative assembly from authoriz-
ing the issue of any bonds, scrip or evidence
of debt by the territory, or by any county,
city, town or township for any purpose ex-
cept certificates for services rendered. He
explained that the object of the amendment
was the prevention of frauds in the issue Of
railroad and other bonds by county or city
corporators.
Mr.. Spooner suggested to Mr.. Vest that
he should limit prohibition to bonds ln aid
of railroads, and Mr.. Vest accepted the
suggestion and modified his amendment ac-
cordingly, and it was agreed to.
A SPECULATION FOR THE INDIANS.
Some further amendments merely
formaD were agreed to; and the bill was
passed after remark by Mr.. Mcpherson
that he would advise the Indians that they
ought to raise their price for land ought
to double it, or quadruple it, if necessary;
because. with territorial governments on
each side of the Cherokee outlet, land was
worth ten times more than it was worth
before the adoption of the No Mans Land
amendment. As the government could not
take an Indians land from him by force or
by fraud, he ought to be able to get good
price for it.
A committee of difference was ordered
on the House amend ment to the Senate bill
increasing the pension of pensioners who are
totally helpless; and Messrs. Davis, Sawyer,
and Turpie were appointed.
The Senate proceeded to executive business,
and at 5:15 o'clock adjourned till to-mor-
row.

THE GRAND JURY's INQUIRY.
On Dec. II, John T. Talbot, foreman of
the United States grand jury, advised the
attorney general that the grand Jury
had been investigating the report
that there existed in Madison county an
organization of considerable proportions to
resist and prevent the arrest of any one
charged with violation of the election laws
at the last presidential election. Several
witnesses testified, the foreman says, evil
IDENTIFY with the purpose to conceal the real
tacts in the case. 'The organization" he
continues, ''we are satisfied exists, and is of
such numerical strength as satisfies the jury
that no ordinary posse could go into that
county and effect an arrest. The Jury is
thoroughly satisfied that the only
etfectual way would be to send
a mounted posse into the county to re-
main there sufficient length of time to
acquaint themselves with the people, coun-
ty and its surroundings, and in addition to
this to post reliable men at different places
on the borders of the county" The jury
would also recommend a reward of not less
than 81 900 for the arrest of E. E. West,
Rufus r. McNair, and Angus. d. Stanton.

Sanders Ras Conviu ed the Repub-
Hcans That ae Must Be Gated.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Mr. Sanders Of
Montana is worker. He has only been
here ten days, yet he has succeeded in
changing the attitude Of the republican ma
iority IN the Senate toward himself and
Mr.. Power, his contesting colleague. When
Mr.. Sanders came the republican senators
were determined to send all four contest
ants back to Montana, with the declaration
that there had been no election in
any case. But Mr.. Sanders has convinced
them that Mr.. Power and he must be
seated, and they will be seated before the
month is out. The certificates of the legis-
lative officers of Montana declares that the
republican legislators from Silver Bow
county are entitled to draw salaries while
the contesting democrats are not, and the
flight of the democratic senators are the
arguments which will be used by Chairman
Hoar in the report from the committee on
privileges and elections to justify the pro-
posed action.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-Messrs. McKin-
ley and Carlisle are both sick with heavy
colds. Hence Mr.. Cannon continued to
lead the republicans, and Mr.. Crisp the
democrats, to-day. Mr.. Blount alternated
with Mr. Crisp. The republicans, as
though frightened at their own temerity on
Tuesday, have been following Mr.. Cannon
ever since with great docility. Today they
followed him SO far as to vote down two
conservative propositions by Mr.. Crisp,
providing that a motion for the yeas and
nays and an appeal from the decision Of
the chair shall always be in order. As Mr..
Crisp said tonight, whom the gods destroy
they first make mad. The republicans are
expected by Mr.. Cannon and Speaker Reed
to go right on adopting all their PROPOSE
tions and voting down all others, until to-
morrow night the whole code shall be
adopted. The democrats have not deter
mined just what they shall do when the
time comes to vote. Many are in favor
of filibustering, on the ground that it is
the last stand for parliamentary freedom.
but the speaker would simply repeat his
rulings, and so put the rules through, so
the democrats may content themselves with
recording their votes against the code.

A widespread Feeling that the Gov
ernment Should Pardon Him.
PARIS, Feb. 13.-The republican journals
approve the sentence Of two years. impris-
onmenU imposed on the Duke of Orleans
yesterday, and say that the manifestation
made by the Orleanists precludes the posi-
Lility Of pardon for the duke or reduction
in his sentence.
The Journal des Debdts says it hopes the
government will not allow the provocation
Of the royalists to prevent its extending
clemency to the young duke.
The royalisJ papers refer to the noble
feelings that inspired the duke to offer his
services as a common soldier, and declare
that in view Of his patriotic motives the
sentence imposed on him is monstrous.
The SOliete says the law Of exile is unjust
and that the country will declare that il
ought not to exist.
The Figaro announces that the law has
been applied moderately in the case Of the
duke, but expresses a hope that public
opinion will insist upon the prisoner being
pardoned.
The Presse declares its belief that the
duke must be pardoned.

SUPPRESSION OF LOTTERIES.
Georgia Congressman Believe 1t is G
Matter for the States.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia number of
members of the House have been inter-
viewed about legislation to suppress lotter-
les. The Georgian are quoted as follows:
Mr. Blount-The only way to stop the
business of this company Is for Congress to
pass law to prevent newspapers printing
its advertisements. l am in favor of any
legislation which we are competent to en-
act that will result in the suppression of the
lottery business.
Mr.. Carlton expressed himself as opposed
to lotteries and gambling schemes of every
description.
NOT A CONGRESSIoNAL.MATTE
Mr.. Candler-In my opinion congress can
not pass law that will prohibit banks
from acting as agents of lottery. The
only way to reach the lottery is for the
state to suppress it. The present law pro-
hibiting the use Of the mails to the lottery
cannot be enforced, because it would violate
the privacy of the mails. Con gress can
prohibit the publication of lottery adver-
tiSements in the District of Columbia and
territories, but that is all. Why, lotteries
are as old as man, but public sentiment is
growing against them every day. W. have
lottery drawing in the House every new
congress, when the $50 members take
chances and draw for seats. Lotteries have
baneful influence, and ought to be abol-
ished.
MATTER FOR THE STATES.
Mr.. Crisp-I am opposed to the lottery
system and would like to see it abolished. I
cannot agree, however, that the federal
government has jurisdiction over the mat
ter. The only way TO reach the lottery by
federal legislation would be to prohibit the
company the use of the mails. This is
dangerous undertaking. for so many grave
constitutional questions would Immediately
become involved. as soon as an attempt was
made to discriminate against corporation
or company using the mails. l think the
question is rather state issue. In Georgia
the lottery is prohibited by state law and
1 favored the law.

Employer Found Dead.
MEMPHIS, TENN, Feb. 13-A special
from Crawfordville, Ark, says: "a horrible
double murder was committed two miles
west of here last night. Ada Goss, daugh-
ter Of II. G. Goss, a respected citizen, was
found dead near the residence Of her parents
with her body full of buckshot, and short
distance further on the decapitated remains
of George Coryett, employed as a laborer
by Mr.. Goss, were discovered. Nothing is
known as to the motive for the crime or the
perpetrators. Corvett was relative of the
Goss family by marriage, and the theory ad-
vanced is that the tragedy originated from
family trouble"
PARTICULARS OF THE TRAGEDY.
The particulars Of the tragedy at Craw-
fordsville, Ark, were learned tonight from
a brother-in-law Of the murdered girl, who
resides In this city, and who has just re-
turned from the scene. The girl
had been assaulted and murdered
by Corvett while drunk. Without
waiting for the slow process Of
the law, the infuriated people took Corvett
to the scene Of the murder, and with an ak
cut off his arm and legs and severed his
head from his body. When Miss Goss'
brother-in-law left the mob was preparing
to cremate Corvetts remains.

M'KINLEY's TARIFF BILL.
Blaine's Recommendation as to Raw
Sugar Can't Stand.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. - Secretary
Blaine's advice to reduce or abolish the
duties on raw sugar in the interest of South
American trade is much easier to approve
than to carry out, as the republicans of the
ways and means committee are finding ont.
The members of the Kansas delegation
have notified them that they will vote
solidly against the tariff bill if Secre-
tary Blaine's advice is embodied
in it. Mr.. Coleman, the Louisiana
republican, takes the same position. Natu-
rally, this troubles Mr.. Mckinley, for with
out these votes his bill stands no chance,
and if the cut cannot be made on sugar it
can be made nowhere else, for all other
changes in duties are to be in the shape of
an increase The only taxes so far wiped
out in the bill are those on tobacco and
alcohol in the arts

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The chances Of
legislation to settle the Indebtedness of the
Union Pacific railroad to the government
seem slender at present. The Senate seems

opinion is reflected by the members of its
committee on the Pacific railroads, is in
favor Of the Cultivate bill. The differ

an agreement between their respective ad-
vocates seems impracticable. One of tht

night: "Why the passage of the Frye bill
would send the Union Pacific stock away
above par. so unsatisfactory would it prove
to the government"

INDICATIONS OF GROWTH.

As will be seen by an interview with Mir. Hine, the Phoenix Water Con- qany will at an early day make exten- sive improvements in the water supply of the city. Should all the new work in contemplation be carried out, the supply would be nearly trebled and it's effectiveness greatly increased.
 There is no surer evidence of the prosperity of city than for capital to flow into channels of this character. The gentlemen who are behind the Water Company see "the handwriting on the wall," and read there that here will be gathered large population in the near future. Everything is most propitious for Phoenix and for the whole of Arizona, and great strides in material progress will soon be made.
 When these extensions are made to the local system of water supply, it will be perfectly reasonable to demand lower rate of insurance. The Pacific Insurance Union is rating risks very much too high now, and with improved water facilities material reduction should be insisted upon.
