IN THE HOUSE.
Charges of Corruption That Will Not Be
Investigated.

CHarSeS OF corruption InaC Will MOI BE
Investigated.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-In the house
today Oates, of Alabama, rising to a
question OF privilege, offered resolu-
ton for an investigation of the charges
OF corruption against members of the
house, contained in a recent editorial in
the National Economist After some
discussion the speaker ruled the resolu-
tion not privileged one. On doing so
he said the editorial was of the vaguest
character. 1t made no assertion except
by inference. 1t made no statement
upon which anybody could be expected
to predicate a belief or conviction
There were within the knowledge
of every member paragraphs
,of this character floating around
in the newspapers of the country. The
house could see the inconvenience which
would result to the business of the
house ii any member had the right, on
the production of paragraph like this,
to demand an investigation.
The house sustained the decision of
the chair, an appeal having been taken
by Oates-yeas, 95; nays, II.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on the senate amendments
to the sundry civil bill. The senate
irrigation amendment was finally nom
.cOncurred in.
The committee then rose and the
house adjourned without disposing of
the bill.

is deemed the people when they come
to cultivate these lands, can better do
themselves. The general purpose and
plan of the department, the secretary
says, is to preserve the sources of water
supply from possession or appropriation
of individuals OR corporations. 1t is be-
lieved, he says, to be the duty of his de-
partment, SO long as this statute re-
mains, to enforce it, that its fruits, at
least in the preservation of sources and
reservoirs of water may be kept under
either national or state governmental
control.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The treasury
department has taken the first step
toward giving effect to the last silver
act by the preparation of a circular
which will be issued tomorrow, an
-nouncing that on and after the 18th of
August offers for the sale of silver bull
lion in lots of not less than 10000
ounces, for delivery free of expense to
the government, at any specified coin
age mint, will be received either by
telegraph or letter, for consideration, at
noon Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
of each week, except legal holidays; all
bids to be addressed ''To the Director of
the Mint, Treasury Department, Wash
ington."
It will be necessary to state the guam
tity offered in fine ounces, the price per
fine ounce and the mint at which the
bullion will be delivered. Bidders will
be notified by telegraph of the accep-
tance or rejection Of their offers. The
right to reject any or all bids is reserved,
and also to accept any portion of an
amount offered. Delivery of purchase
must be completed within ten days
after the acceptance of the offer. When
bars bear the stamp of well-known re-
fineries such approximate value will be
paid, pending melt and assay, as may be
regarded safe and proper. When the
bullion purchased is of character to re-
quire parting or refining, the usual mint
charges for these operations will be paid
by the seller. No bars weighing over
l 200 ounces will be received. No silver
coin, except under-currenta and mutilated
coins of the United States, will be re-
ceived on account of purchase.

The Land f orfeiture Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The con-
ferees on the land grant forfeiture bill
have about come to an agreement upon
the measure. They will probably for
mally conclude their report at the next
meeting. 1t is understood that the
measure agreed upon provides for the
absolute forfeiture of the lands described
in the act. The section of the house
bill looking to further forfeitures of lands
is said to have been stricken out.

IRRIGATION SURVEYS.
Secretary Noble Answers Inquiries as to
Their Scope and Purpose.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-An answer to
the inquiries in regard to irrigation sur
veys contained in the recent senate reso-
luton, was sent to the senate today by
Secretary Noble. He states that the
director of the geological survey actually
surveyed and marked the boundary
areas OF sites for reservoirs by him Sc
lected under the act of 1888, and the
tracts so segregated are so marked that
they can be discovered on the ground,
and are delineated on the land office
maps. For reservoir site selections only
so much land has in each instance been
reserved as is intended to be used
for the storage of water. 1t is not
intended, the secretary says, that
the surveys and selections under
the act of 1888, shall be carried to the
extent of planning system Of canals,
bitches, checks and burrows for the dis
tribution OF water over farms, which it

SAN Francisco, July 31.-The cham

this afternoon declaring that whereas
the chamber desires the adoption of
policy calculated to develop the trades
and industries of the Pacific coast, as
well as of the entire republic, by secur-

in view of the consideration of
this question in connection with the
tariff bill before the senate, the chamber
is strongly in favor of commercial re-

ceived July 25th by Senator William P.
Frye from Hon. James G. Blaine, secre-
tary OF state, and the chamber requests
the Pacific coast delegates in congress to
give it their unanimous support.

THE EXECUTORS CLAIMS.
Questions Arising from the Settle
ment Of the Coburn Estate.

SKowHEGAN, February 14.-Judge James
b. Dascomb, r. B. Shepherd and George N
Page. executors Of the late Ex-Governor Alb
ner Coburn will on the first day of April
turn over to the heirs all Of the real estate
amounting to nearly 81, ,0OO, 900 In value, and
have so notified them. This will practically
close their stewardship, although these gen.
tlemen will continue to hold their places as
executors for one or more years, there being
several notes still running and other matters
to attend to. The allowances which they
have applied for amount In the aggregate
to between $4,000 and $4,000, and thus far
they have received S11 600 They have filed
accounts in the probate court, and In the last
one which is not settled yet they claim for
their allowance $65. .4S9.38 less $4,000, which
Is about five per cent of the maximum al
lowed by law.
The heirs have objected to this amount,
and the executors say they are willing to ac-
cept three per cent on the entire property
passing through their hands, which would
give them in the neighborhood of fifty thou
sand dollars in all, and as they have labored
the greater part of the time for the past five
years in settling up the estate, they feel they
ought to receive this amount. It Is under
stood, however, that the heirs will contest
even the paygment of this sum, and IL they
do, the dispute will be settled In the courts.
George e. b. jackson, Esq, administrator on
Philander Coburn's estate, will ask three
psr cent for his services, which would give
him some twenty-five thousand dollars. 1t
is said that the heirs will also contest the
payment of this.
What the heirs will do with their real es-
tate when they get it is a conundrum. The
project Of forming. a trust has been aban-
doned and partition may be determined on.
There are ten heirs Jointly interested in the
Abner and Philander Coburn estates and
one, boy. is an heir Of the Abner Coburn
estate alone, making eleven heirs in all. 1t
is singular circumstance that the least com
mon multiple from which the share to which
each heir is entitled can be rendered is 4,129
Six heirs are each entitled to 379 of these
parts, four to 359 each, and one, the boy Paul
to 295 parts.

SPEAKER REEDS WCTORyIS COMPLETE.
Democrats Did Not Dare to Use Their
Customary Tactics,
And the New Rules Were Adopted
with Both sides Voting.
Triumph Of Which Any Statesman
Might be Proud.
Especial to the PRESS. !

WASHINGTON, February 14.-The debate
on the new rules closed at 8 p. m. today, ac-
cording to arrangement, and on the call of
the yeas and nays they were adopted by
vote of 161 to IA. The Republicans did not
muster quite the 166 needed for quorum
and the Democrats voted. These are the sig
nifcant points. II the Democrats had been
able to stand by their position they could,
by refusing to answer, have forced Mr.. Reed
to count quorum in order TO pass this inn
portant measure, for the Repulicans could
hardly have mustered more than 165 votes
today at the most There is reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Reed would have Just as read
lily counted quorum on this vote as on less
important votes. for he is thoroughly conf
dent that he is right, and that an appeal to
the Supreme Court would vindicate his po-
sition. But the Democrats weakened and
voted The reason for this collapse is inter-
esting. Mr.. Reeds courageous position has
evoked so much popular interest and sympa-
thy throughout the North and West that the
Northern Democrats became alarmed. and
today told their Southern brethren plainly
that they should continue the foolishness no
longer. With the Northern Democrats de-
termined to vote, the brgadiers had to tum-
BILE of course. The announcement Of the
vote was greeted by the Republicans with
applause, and when the House adjourned
Mr.. Reed was detained on the floor by an
impromptu reception of fellow members,
who rendered him congratulations. 1t was
moment at which any statesman might feel
proud. For eight years in Congress and
outside, in the magazines aud the papers,
Mr.. Reed has been laboring to overturn the
cumbersome code of rules that has bound
Congress for decade. Today he saw the
complete accomplishment of his hopes, after
a parliamentary battle that will be historic,
and after personal participation in that
battle as creditable as it was courageous.
