House and senate PROBABILITIES.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-Silver and pol
itics are likely to be topics for discussion
and action in the house this week. Mon
day is suspension day under the rules,
and on the following day either the silver
bill or the postponed MeDufie-Turpin
A9abama election case is to
come up. The order has not
yet been finally determined, but if lead
ers who are canvassing Republican rep
resentatives, have progressed far enough
in their count to insure adherence of
majority to the main features of the
caucus bill, they will call it up Tues
day under special rule, which will
limit the time for discussion and final
action to period probable not exceeding
two days. The Alabama election case is
expected to arouse good deal of par
tisan feeling, and it also may occupy two
days. The postoffice appropriation bill
is also among the probable subjects for
early action.
In the senate also the silver question
promises to be the principal topic for
discussion. The progress of debate in
silver is likely to be interrupted by con-
sideration of conference reports on sew
eral measures.
Senator Allison will call up tomorrow
the report on the army appropriation
bill, and some discussion may ensue
upon the canteen clause.
The conference report on the antitrust
bill is also ready for presentation, and
may possibly be brought before congress
for action this week.

THE CENSUS.

Questions Asked or Take the

Discussion in the House This Week
Other Questions Up.
Ready for the Census.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-Robert Porter,
superintendent of census, has advices
from about a hundred supervisors stating
that they were thoroughly prepared to
enter upon taking the census Tomorrow
morning, and that everything
was in readiness to push the
work forward with accuracy
and rapidity. The telegr ans were in re-
Spouse to messages sent out from Wash
lngton yesterday. All supervisors heard
from reported that no trouble has as yet
occurred and that no serious difficulties
were apprehended. Mr.. Porter intl-
mated very plainly this evening that
so far as chronic questions were con-
cerned it was not the intention of the
office to endeavor to bring punishment
to those who were reluctant to
make answer, but as to the "mort-
gage" question he held language not
quite so cheering for those who have
determined not to answer this
part of the schedule, though the proba-
bility is strong that nothing will be done
with recalcitrants on this matter He
expressed himself very earnestly, how
ever, with regard to bringing the law to
bear upon those who wilfully refuse to
answer any and all questions put to
them by enumerators. They will be
compelled to answer, he said, or take
the consequences of their refusal. He
thought there was a possibility that
members of the criminal Glasses might
take advantage of the fight made against
diseases and mortgage questions to re-
fuse any information whatever, and he
stated that this would not be tolerated
under any circumstances.

redating Bucks.
Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, Tex, June deputy Mar
shals Minnett, Tucker and Chancellor re-
turned from the Cheyenne reservation
Today, where they have been after some
desperados for whom they had warrants
When they had reached the reservation
the Indians sent them word that they
could not get the men, and to keep away
from there. The officers then went to
Fort Sill and asked tho commander of
the post to assist them in making the ar
rest. He declined on the grounds that
the Indian agent was absent and that he
had no authority to act in the matter
without instructions from him. The
commander of the post does not
believe that the agent will permit the
military to assist in making the arrest,
as it is sure to cause trouble with the
Indians. Two years ago four deputies
from the Northern district went there
after the same parties and succeeded in
making the arrest, but no sooner had
they done so than they were surrounded
by 200 Indians with Winchesters, who
compelled them to release the prisoners.
The officers are at loss as to what course
to pursue, but have not given up the idea
of capturing their men.

NEW YORK, June LIT was an
nounoed short time ago that a test case
might soon be made in the courts to as
certain whether converts to Mormonism
who came here IS emigrants from Eu-
rope at the solicitation of Mormon
agents, properly came under the pro-
vision of the contract labor law. AS a
result of this news committee of three
Mormon delegates, Cannon, Cain and
Claussen called at the custom house
Yesterday to consult with the
collector on this question. Col.
Erhardt was out of town, but they told
told Acting Collector Cruoh that no Eu-
ropean converts to Mormonism came
here under contract A number of
newly fedged Mormons would arrive
here next week and they were anxious to
see the collector about them and the
committee went to the barge office and
had long conference with Superinten-
dent Weber and Chief Inspector Null
holland, who first proposed to make a
test case of the contract labor law With
regard to Mormon immigrants. The.
committee were assured that the
government had no intention of perse-
cutting the Mormon church, but that
1t was thought best to make
an effort to see whether these people
really did come within the scope of the
contract labor law because the admins
tration was fully determined to enforce
that law. and the committee replied that
the QOVernm ant authorities abould haze
every name and address of the immi-
grants expected here next week SO that
