establish temporary form of govern
ment IN Oklahoma, and it was read in
part. 1t was then allowed to go over
until tomorrow, and O'Clock the
BLAIR EDUCATIONAL BILL
was taken up and Mr.. Blair proceeded
to address the senate. MIR. Blair said
that at the present time there were IN
the United States 100000 of children
of school age, not enrolled in the
schools. and for whom there was no ac-
commodation in existing school struc-
lures. 1t would require 120, COO school
buildings to supply that accommodate
ton. One third of the children of this
republic, (whose existence depended on
the intelligence of it's citizens) were
growing up without means of educa-
ton. The total C, st of the required
school buildings would be $1,000, 600.
Mr.. Blair reviewed the history of the
educational bill. 1t had passed the
senate three times, and still it had
not become law. He spoke of
the general approval given to it
from all sections of the country, and
said it was Endorsed by the great mass
OF Intelligence of the United
States. Mr.. Sherman here interrupted
Mr. Blair to report from the committe

THE MINORITY IS DISGUSTED.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-There was
scarcely time for the employees to throw
open the doors ana secure a change of
after the Republican caucus adjourned,
before the Democratic members began
to file in to attend their caucus. They
appeared in good number and were
presided over by Mr.. Holman. The
only subject discussed was the new code
OF rules. The Democrats were at a
disadvantage in that the members
were not supplied with copies as were
the Individual Republicans to-day. So
Mr.. Carlisle was Obliged 10 read and
explain the rules from his private copy.
Naturally this was slow work, and most
of The session of the caucus was con-
sumed in this way. There was little
discussion. Now and then some mem.

particularly obnoxious rule was read
and its effect pointed out. MIR. Springer
thought that the rules meant that the
watchmru were gagged; the watcbdogS
chained and the treasury
THROWN OPEN TO PLUMBER.
But the general ST timent was that,
no matter how obnoxious the rules are,
they were asked for by the Democrats,
and would be considered in a fair spirit.
Mr.. Carlisle was accordingly instructed
to negotiate with the majority managers
for Il proper and reasonable time to con-
slider the rules. in case they should be
reported tomorrow, inasmuch as the
Democratic members are without copies.
The Republicans will also be requested
to allow debate of reasonable
length upon them when they
are called up for consideration,
and If these concessions are
granted the Democrats will interpnse
no unusual obstacles to action upon
them. A feature of the evenings pro-
ceeding that would have been amusing
if it had not resulted In positive incon-
venience, was the attitude of certain
capitol policemen who. acting under the
orders OF a stupid superior, refused eiI-
trance to the building Ia the reporters of
the press, privilege never before de-
MED. Moreover, they persisted in this
course in spite of the fact that the chair
man of the Democratic caucus. Mr..
Holman, had courteously given orders
for their admission.
