The Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia number of
unimportant bills were reported from the
committees and placed on the calendar, af-
ter which Plumb's resolution for daily
meetings at 10 and for evening sessions
was taken up, and after striking out the
evening session clause, was adopted. A
resolution offered yesterday by Dolph, in.
structing the committee on privileges and
elections to inquire n report whether the
right to vote at any election for presiden-
tia electors, the members OF congress, or
state legislatures, or officers is denied to
any male citizen Of any state, or is
abridged, except for participation in rebel
lion or other crime, was taken up and
Dolph stated the reasons why he offered it.
The discussion continued until 9 o'clock,
when it went over without action. The
elections bill was then taken up and Blod-
gett addressed the senate in opposition to
it, as also did Walker.
Dunnell reported the re a~ppOrtionment
bill to the house today. The report makes
changes that will be effected, and says that
from the aggregate population of the
United States the committee subtracted the
aggregate population of the District Of
Columbia II of the territories of OklahO.
ma and Utah. The remainder was 81, $685.
9O6. With this number the different ratios
were obtained by taking as a divisor any
proposed number. Each number was
taken from 1892 to 375. Trials were. made
until a number was found that would give
a ratio which, in application, would secure
each state against any loss in its member
ship, ami in no instance leave a major
fraction. This number was found to be
1856. The ratio was 173,9O1. The number
Of members obtained on even division was
SSS9: The additional seventeen needed to
make 1856 was secured by giving one mem
Der to each OF the states having left to it a
major fraction. These states are: Ala
hama, California, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachu-
sets, Oregon. Rhode Island, South Carroll
ma. South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin. The committee does not
deem the number fixed in the bill an un-
reasonable increase in the membership of
the house. A much larger increase, the
report says, has been urged by many mem
bers. An increase in the membership of
the house has been made in every appor-
tionment act since 1889. except in that of
l843, when there was a reduction Of fifteen.

Immediately.
"A Very Enthusiastic Worlds Fair
Convention Held at Grand
Forks.
An Organization Perfected to Com
mence the Work of Securing
all Exhibit.
The Indians Wanted Their ScaIps.

ST. PAUL, Dec. ia Pioneer Press spe-
cial from Pine Ridge says: Yankton Char
ley. Il of the Indian scouts who accom-
panied the interpreters to a hostile camp
several days ago, returned early this morn
ing. He said when they entered the Bad
Lands many of the Indians wanted to kill
them. This precipitated a row in which
Two Strike and his friends who wished to
come to the agency defended the scouts
and they remained. The hostiles told of a
skirmish over on the Cheyenne river and
that two of their men were killed but had
been brought to life again by the Messiah.
He says the time since the council at the
agency last week had been spent by the
Indians in %counciling and quarreling among
themselves as to whether they would give
up or not. This difference of opinion re-
suited yesterday in a final row when guns
were drawn and an attempt made to take
Two Strikes life. In this they were foiled
and the riot that occurred resulted in a di-
vision of the camp, a greater number join
ing Two Strike and declaring their inten-
ton to come to the agency. Thirty or forty
lodges under Short Bull and Kicking Bear
pulled out for the Bad Lands determined
to fight. Sixty cavalry left Rapid City for
the Bad Lands yesterday.

Governor-Elect Boyd of Nebraska Ineli-
gib1e for Office.
EVANSVILLE, Ohio, Dec. ia curious
complication has arisen in the case of Gov
ernor- Elect James E.. Boyd of Nebraska.
He was born in Ireland in 1884 and came
to this city with his father, Joseph Boyd,
in 1849. The father filed notice of his in
tention to become a citizen, but did not
take out his final papers until November,
1890. The son did not take out papers here
and it is stated that he has never been nat
uralized in Nebraska. Section PIP, revised
statutes of the United States. provides that,
where a father is naturalized, his sons I'M
der II year of age are naturalized. In this
case the father filed his declaration in 1849,
but did not take out his final papers until
1896, which was long after his son was of
age.
