The military committee called up the
senate bill authorizing the president
to confer tho brevet rank upon army
officers for gallant service in the Indian
campaigns since 1867; passed.
This house went into committc Of the
whole OH the bill to provide for tho ap-
pointment OF an assistant secretary of
war, and after some debate the bill was
favora bly, passed.
The Oklahoma bill was then taken up.
Mr. Hooker gave notice that he would
move 70 strike out all OF the sections
after section 25, providing for q judicial
system for the lndian territory. lie
said that the sections proposed grand
robbery, equaled in the historp of ciyili-
2ation only BY the spoliation Of Poland.
Mr.. Washington declared that tho bill
violated no property rights of the Indi-
ans, and In his opinion, there could be
no greater crime against civilization
than to leave 5000 people in territory
without any government at all.
Mr.. Perkins said that there was not n
single provision thar infringed on the
rights Of the Indians.
Mr.. Morey said that the bill should In.
clude all Of the Indian territory. There
was no necessity for a division of that
MAGNIFICENT territory. Tho Cherok-es

Provisions we're made for the establish.
ment of a supreme court and for trial oi

Mr.. Barnes advocated the senate bill
In preference to the house substitute.
MIR Springer said that Mr.. Barnes had
Intentionally tried to misroprosent
the scope of the bill. The United states

Speaker Ecighnn was out of sorts, too,
and used his gavel frequently and visor-
ously.
A scene of tho widest confusion
marked the close of the morning session,

Speaker Fcighan grow red In tho face

WEDNESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10.-Among the
bills received from the committees and
placed on the calendar Today were the
following For The inspection of meats
for expectation, and the prohibiting OF
the importation of adul.cred articles of
food and drink, and for the relief of
women enrolled as army nurses.
Mr.. Cullon,, from the interstate com
merco committee, reported preamble
and resolution respecting the allegation
that by reason OF the excessive freight
rates on the lines Of railroad, that great
section of the country lying between the
Rocky mountains and the principal
food distributing ceuters was
unable to market its food prod
ucts and obtain for them the actual
cost OF production and directing that the
committee investigate such allegation
and report whether such rates were roa-
sonable or unreasonable, whether the
reduction of such rates was prevented or
hinderod by reason of any provision of
the interstate commerce act, aud
whether more stringent enforcement
of the act was practicable and would
remedy the evil. complained of. The
resolution was agreed TO.
The resolution heretofore offered call
ing on the attorney genera! for ini1yma-
tion as TO the assassination of ". r..
Saunders. deputy United States marshal
for the northern district OF Florida, WAS
taken up.
Senator Pasco proceeded to address
the senate in exclamation of the facts
and circumstance OF the case.
Mr. pasco had not concluded the state.
mcnt when the hour arrived and tIIc
educational bill came up ms unfinished
business. Mr.. Blair, however. yielded
the floor temporarily.
Mr., Plumb inquired OF Mr.. Morrill,,
chairman oT the CuinWiitco ON tiunncp,
as to the bill concerning the lease OF the
seal isiauds of Alaska.
Mr., Morrill, replied that since the bill
was reported on the 4,h ot February
there iias been no time when hearing
of the subject could be obtained. The
committee had learned that II would DO
injuflous to the government, and per-
laps unfair to any new competitors
TO postpone the time for making
the lease. Tho 2lst of February
was stated to be tho last day
ior allowing bidders fair opportunity
with tho present company, and he had
beun instructed by tho committee on
finance not 10 press the bill.
Mr., Plumb--"l suppose the committee
have not only arrived ut conclusion
that nothing is to- bo done 10y legislation
in the matter, but also that tic sccto.
tarv Of the treasury Will on the 2lst OF
the present month proceed to make n
new lease for twenty years. | regard II
as very unfortunate ihnt congress does
not take action upon the subject"
Mr.. Blair then resumed his argument
in favor of the educational bill.
Without concluding his speech, Mr.
Blair yielded ior an executive session.
after which the senate adjourned.

fore tho House Committee.

WAsnIaGroH. Feb. ls.-Tnc house
committee on postoiiices and post-roads
con tinued the consideration Of the sub.
jcct of limited postal telegraph. Post
master General Wanamaker and A.
Chandler. president of the Postal Tele.
graph Company, were present and gave
their ideas on tho subject.
blr. Wanamaker thought II should be
under the control of the civil service
commission. and that the wires should
not be used politically.
In response to questions, Mr.. Wana-
maker said that the difficulty In getting
a contract flexible in character. so thtt
the government might take advantage
OF a new invention occurring during the
ten years of the contract, was not so
troublesome as II might seem. His
whole aim in using tho employees now
engaged was to obviate the objections
which had been raised that the postal
telegraph would take n great deal Of
money from the treasury and would
ring in new army of Office seekers.
MIR. Chandler, the next witness, said
that his company could not work at the
proposed maximum rates provided in
the bill without u loss. No other COM
pany company could do II without loss.

referred to the committee Of the whole.
The speaker laid before the house q
message, transmitting withou comment,
q comm unlcation from the interior de-
partment, proposing an amendment of
tho act providing for the allotment of
lands in severalty IN the Indians.
The senate bill providing for the ap-
pointment of an assistant secretary of
war was laid before the house. It is
substantially the same as the house bill.
1t is already fayorably reported from the
military committee.
The speaker held that It was, under
the rules, entitled to Immediate consid
Grafton; so the house went into com
mittee of the whole thereon.
At 1 40 the committee arose without
action and the house resumed the con.
siderntlon OF the bill for the Temporary
government of oklahoma.
The general debate was limited to
three and q half hours, despite the ap-
peal OF MIR. Barnes and Others for five

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
a Long wrangio over the Tactics OF
the speaker.

After the reading of the journal Mr.
Carlisle arose and said that since Janu-
airy . his side of the house had been
protesting every norning against the
approval of the journal, on the ground
that 1t contained an entry, made by the
direction Of the speaker, showing the
names of certain members present and
not voting. Last Friday the house
adopted code OF rules providing for
such practice. Against this the demo-
Gratis protested, and would protest, as IL
was unconstitutional; but II was ques-
ton which could not be decided in the
house, and whenever tho proper case
arose II would go to some other forum.
II was the purpose of his side to sec that
this occasion should he made in such
shape as would DO finally and doclsively
passed upon, Therefore, lie saw no
reason why the journal. the form of
which the house had the right to pre-
scribe, should not bo approved.
This was done.
When the resolution from the worlds $
fair committee was presented there was
second on tho motion for its passage.
and the tcllers appointed reported the
following result; Ayes ia noes s.
The point of no quorum was made.
The speaker ran his eye rapidly over thu
house, and in few moments said I:
"rhere are 172 members present, more
than quorum
Mr.. McMillin, OF Tennessee, protested
that the rules prescribed that telcrs
were appointed as means of nsccr--
taining the presence OF quorum and
that II was not proper for the chair to
count.
The speaker inquired what rule re
quired the tcicrs to determine the pres
enoe of & quorum.
Mr.. McAlilln quoted from rule touch
ing ON motions to suspend the rules,
which requires that motion shall be
submitted to the house, to be seconded
by n majority of the tcllers. II de-
mnnded.
Tho speaker responded that majority
had seconded the motion, ia to 4, and
that debate on the motion was now In
order, but the democrats made an
earnest resistance.
Mr.. MGMillin insisted on the point
that no quorum had voted. Neither
the speaker nor amy other man could
assume that the men counted were In
tho house whilo the vote was being
taken. The speaker replied that he an
uouncod az the time that there weN liz
members present by actual count. No
one was counted who was not present at
the time the vote was taken. II n
member did not desire TO vote, the pre-
sumption was that lac aoquicsced in the
result OF the vote.
MIR. Bland wished to know by what
right the tellcrs left the place before the
gentlemen voted, and the speaker said
that II the gentlemen desired to vote tho
tcllers would take their places.
Mr.. Nj ills, OF Texas, maintained that
tho rules required a deciaion by the tell
