Congressman Taylor Proposes n Little
Resolution Which Fails.

Congressman Taylor Proposes Little
Resolution Which Fails.
The Hon. J. ID. Taylor of Ohio one of
the small array of statesmen who persist
in running in all kinds of experiments on
this town, got sat down on in great shape
in the House this afternoon. Shortly af-
ter the journal was read Mr.. Taylor sent
ito the Clerks desk little memoran-
dunn which was read, This 'whereased''
to the effect that the bill to prohibit the
sale and manufacture of alcoholic spirits
in the District of Columbia had already
been fayorably reported to the House,
and resolved that the 9th Of January be
set aside for its consideration.
II Object came from dozen oily
throats. Mr.. Mills clarion voice could be
heard above all Others, with the Hon.
Asher q. Caruth of Louisville u good
second. The report was therefore laid
aside where it viii remain for long time
to come.
Brother Taylor should try his prohibit
ton lymph ON his own State first and let
the good people of the District know how
il works before introducingit here.

Mr.. Cameron presented to the Senate to-

of Friends in Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Delaware concerning the action of
the Government in keeping its obligations
to and its treatment of the Indians adopted
at u meeting held in Philadelphia on the
18th day OF twelfth month, 1890. The
memorial is strong. one, and urges the
Government TO observe its treaty stiplila-
tons with the Indians and to treat them
with justice and kindness.
The memorial claims that the Indians
have rarely broken treaties which they
have comprehended aud ratified, and nj

A New Force hin Needed.


What is sauce for the goose is not by
any means sauce for the gander, at least
from the Republican point of view.
This fact was clriously illustrated in the
Senate the other day when the Senator
from Oregon was making a terrific attack
ON the South by way of advocating the
Force bill, The Senator filled the air full
OF Ku-klux and other political hObgob-
Inns and declared that the Force bill was
necessary in order to uplift the negro
voter and cause the tyrannical Southern
Democrat to take his hind foot off the
neck of the down-trodden African.
Senator Eustis asked the honorable gem
tleman what the people of Oregon would
do If their State was rs thickly populated
with Cinnamon as the South is with
negroes. Would there be demand for Il
Force bill to compel the Cinnamon to
yote} Senator Dolph refused to give Mr..
Eustis the desired Information.
Then Senator Morgan rose and quoted
from the constitution of Oregon certain
passages which restrict the suffrage to
white citizens, whereupon Mr.. Dolph sat
down ON himself and refused TO make
any more patriotic remarks.
The Force bill which the Senator from
Oregon really needs is one that will pre-
vent these impolite Southern Senators
from bothering him when he begins to
soar,

One of the prettiest suits on the street
this season is a combination of brown and
black. That sounds plain and cold, and
not at all as il two colors could be trans
formed into a creation that would attract
more attention than anything else on the
street. II was difficult to decide wheth er
1t was the beautiful woman that COM
pleted the beauty of the suit or the suit
that enhanced the beauty of the wearer.
She was a dark-eyed blonde. Her hair
was the color that Is the sure test of nat
ure's dye-a dark yellow. The. dress was
brown and lights up with yellow cast,
the color broken by u large plaid of black,
The skirt was made plain and tight cut ON
the bias, and drawn back in q four plat
IN the back, She wore u walking Jacket
Of sealskin, made close fitting, with high
collar. On her head was a small toque of
brown velvet trimmed with blacllbrds
with their heads nesting down in the
folds Of the velvet and their tails pointing
heavonward in the most independent
manner, as If they were willing to have
been killed TO live forever on such beau
tiful head. Around the edge of the hat
was a puff of black velvet, caught down
by handsome jet ornaments. She wore
brown gloves and earned a mum. Her
shoes We're walking boots, with brown
cloth tops.

The commission to select site for a

again to-day, but reached no conclusion.
II is generally understood that the COM

able. and the sites that were offered
within the limit of the appropriation the
commission does not consider as desir-
able locations for public building for
such large city as San Francisco. The

He caae out of ths Bellevue hotel few minutes later bleeding pre- fusely from tbs absve named wounds. The story of the affair as learned from several parties seems to be substantially as follows Colonel Eggers aad Robert Brown, who are attorneys fer A. !.

Brswn called as the lat,er's rosm in tke Belle vue hsteI aud commenced 10 abuse hiua. He was armed at the time. Mir.

When they came in, Doctor Blackbrrn, was tn Mir. Hawks rooHs engaged in conversation. He spoke to the visitors when they entered. when Colonel Eg- fers opened the conversation by Ian gusge sf an abusive character. Mr. Hawk remonsrs,ed with hlm as be had before with Brown. Blows fol- lowed words resulting in pro ducing toe wounds mentioned. The affair is a very unfortunate one, as all tke parties arc of considerable proni- pence. Brown vas taken Is the ceanty jail where hs remained for some time. Colonel Eggsrs was taken ts bis room where his wound were dressed by Drs Robinson, Hslssy and Lincoln.
