the whole affair was generally re-

all the attractions were shown.

PAssAIC On. J.), Dec. 4.-The Rittenhouse
Manufacturing Mills have failed. The fail
ure was broush5 about by the mbarrasS-
ment of other houses and the low prices
prevailing in the wool market. The firm is
one of the largest and best-known houses in
the woolen trade in the country. 1t was or
ganZed in 1876 by Edward ii. Ammidown,
Charles ii. Ammidown and S. A. Clark.
William Barbour of the Barbour Flax Spin
ming Company has been appointed receiver.
The selling agents of the Rittenhouse Com
pany in New York are Ammidown & Smith.
The head of this house is Edward II. AM
midtown. 1t is reported the importing and
commission firm and Ammidown personally
are heavily involved in the failure of the
Rttenhouse Company. The business Of the
manufacturing concern has been poor for q
long time, and the mills lately have been
losing money steadily. The company which
went into the hands OF receiver yesterday,
with liabilities of S1,000,000 and assets of
Ss00,00o. employed 500 hands in the manu-
facture of woolen blankets, shawls and
plush. Edward ii. Ammidown, President
of the American Pretective Tariff League,
owns nine-tenths OF the stock and is Presi-
dent of the corporation. The company has
been running at loss for two years, storing
great deal Of their product in anticipation
of the passage of the Mckinley Tariff Bill.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Ammidown IL Smith,
dry-goods commission merchants, assert that
the failure Of the Rttenhouse Manufactur-
ing Company will not cause any trouble to
them. The firm had no interest in the Rit-
tenhouse Company further than selling its
products, but Ammldown was a large stock
holder in tile company.

THE SENATE.

The Joint Resolution Issuing Arms to Bor-
der States Adcpted-Elections Bill
WASHINGTON, Dec. Among the bills
introduced and referred in the Senate to-day
was one for permanent Tariff Commission
and one by Stewart for the free and unlim-
tied use of silver as money.
The joint resolution reported yesterday
by Hawley, to issue arms to North and
South Dakota and Nebraska, was taken up.
Hawley urged the necessity of prompt
action.
VOORHEES, quoted an interview with Gov
ernor Foster of Ohio, an ex-member of the
commission, to treat with the Sioux, in
which Foster said the whole trouble was in
the fact that the Indians were starving
Give them enough to eat and there will be
no further trouble.
After lengthy debate the joint resolu-
ton was amended so as to apply to the
States Of North and South Dakota, Wyon-
ing and Nebraska, and passed.
Morgan introduced joint resolution
which went over until tomorrow, appro-
prating 5000 for an investigation under
the orders OF the Senate as TO the causes OF
the trouble among the Indians
The Elections Bill.was then taken up and
Pugh addressed the Senate in opposition to
1t. The bill, he said. was never intended to
be put in operation In Republican districts.
1t was founded on one proposition, an that
was tnat State election officers might be
watched. guarded and overruled because
they were Democrats. The whole concep-
tiOn of the bill was transparent and auda-
cious scheme, having no other end or pur-
pose than the capture of Democratic dis
trictS and their transfer to the Republican
party, and Congress to be used in perpetual
ing its supremacy IN. defiance of the will of
the people.
Gray Obtained the floor, but as he did not
desire to speak this afternoon, Blair moved
to lay the Elections Bill aside until to-mor-
row, and take up the displaced Labor Bill.
Uoar gave notice that after to-day he
would endeavor to press the Elections Bill
without having it laid aside for any other
purpose whatever until final vote was
reached.
Rockwell objected to the Labor Bill being
taken up, and after number of bills on the
calendar had been passed the Senate ad-
journed.

SIGNS OF DISINlEGRATION.
Indications That a Majority Of the indians
Desire TO Return to the Agencies.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-General Schofied
received telegram from General Brooke
this afternoon saying that forty lodges of
Indians had left Rosebud Agency since the
removal OF the camp across White River to
the edge OF tho Bad Lands, and that there
are strong symptoms of dsintegration, as
about half the Indians seem willing to come
back to the agency. General Brooke also
says, from all he can gather as to their in
tentions, the majority of the Indians want
to come back. The War Department Off
cials are much gratifed at this intelligence.
The Secretary of the Treasury sent to the
House request for the immediate appro-
prlation OF $780, 900 for the purchase of beef
and other provisions for the Sioux Indians.
CHICAGO, Dec. AT army headquarters
Tonight, General Miles reported that all ad-
vices to-day indicate everything quiet at the
scene OF Indian troubles.
General Miles said this morning he would
go in day or two to direct the military ar
rangements in the Indian country. The
General said he had overwhelming evidence
that the Indians have been suffering for
want OF food for two years. and one of the
prlnclpal causes OF the diSaffection is this
fact. One OF the objects of his visit to
Washington was to urge the necessity of
immediate relief. An order was sent from
the Interior Department to the Indian
agents, instructing them during the Indian

Morrow Presents the Pension Appropriation
Bill. for Cons liberation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The galleries of
the House were crowded to-day in eXpecta-
ton of some lively scenes. 1t was under
stood that Morrow would call up the Pen
sion Appropriation Bill, and everybody ex-
pected a lively debate on it.
After the transaction OF the morning bu 81
ness of small Importance, Morrow moved
that the House go into Committee of the
Whole on the Pension Appropriation Bill
The motion was carried, and Speaker Reed
called Burrows of Mi chigan to the chair.
Morrow then made very lucid eXplana-
ton of the provisions of the bill. He was
in good voice and made q good impression.
He was frequently interrupted by the DEM
CcratS but was cool and collected through
out, and answered their questions W ith ease.
Morrow explained that the bill appropri-
ated Tor the payment of pensions S133, 49,
600, to be distributed among 654, 715 pension
ers. This was the largest number of
benefciaries ever provided for in any single
item in the statutes of the United States. 1t
was estimated the gross cost to the United
States Of these pensions for the year 1892
would average $203 40 each. He believed
there would be deficiency next year.
Cooper. OF Indiana got the floor and re-
viewed all the charges made against Com
iniSoiuutI VI TcuSlouS Dlulu winch formed
the basis of the investigation during the
last session, and asserted that they had all
been proved. The Pension Bureau should
be presided over by man above criticism
and above reproach. During the last cam
paign the commission had gene to Indiana
and invaded his (Cooper's) district. The
Commissioners only excuse was that he
might defeat Cooper's election. The Com
missioner had gone to Indiana to prostitute
his high Office for partisan ends. He
Cooper had great veneration for the PEN
sion Bureau and protested that the institu-
tion should not become the spawning place
for corporations, or the stall for the sale
of patent rights, nor should it be presided
over by "moribund and malodorous politi-
cian," likened by Republican paper to
''bad egg"
Sawyer OF New York said he was sur
prised that Cooper should make his speech
at this time before the case was closed
Cooper had said the committee had ahan-
doned any further investigation, but il had
been clearly understood that the committee
should hear further testimony during this
session. Sawyer further denied that the
charges against Raum had been proved
After further debate the committee rose

FEDERAL LAWS.
Difficulties in Enforcing the Chinese and
Election Acts

Difficulties in Enforcing the Chinese and
Election Acts.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Attorney- General
Miller. in his annual report, says that
vigiiant effo rts have been made to enforce
legislation excluding Chinese immigration.
BY the cooperation of the Treasury Depart
ment it is believed that most of the attempts
10 cross the border have been frustrated, as
have the attempts to bring Chinese directly
through the ports of the United States
upon the Pacific. In regard to the reorgan-
ization of the Judiciary, it is earnestly hoped
the legislation which is now far advanced
will not be permitted to fail.
In regard to the difficulty in enforcing the
law the Attorney General says: "The en-
forcement of the internal revenue laws and
the United States election laws is particu-
larly resisted Several assassinations of
officers and witnesses, with the purpose of
impeding the execution of the laws and
orders Of the United States, have occurred
during the past year. Within the last ten
days Deputy Marshal, while attempting
to serve a warrant for the arrest of a man
Tor violation of the postal laws, was shot
and instantly killed by the man sought to be
arrested; and on his preliminary examina-
tlon before magistrate Of the State the
prisoner was promptly discharged. 1t is
certainly an anomaly in the Government
that those who have committed murders for
the purpose OF stopping prosecution in the
Federal courts should not only not be pun
ished, but not even be put upon their trial in
the State courts. So long as persons who
Kill officers, Witnesses, or jurors, for the
purpose of impeding the administration of
Justice, can only be tried ard punished in
State courts, as for minor otfense. the
administration of United States laws and
the laws themselves. in many districts, will
have but little effect.
The Supreme Court recently decided that
there Is a peace of the United States Is
1t not the duty of Congress to provide by
law for the preservation of this peace
everyw here, and at all times In prosecutions
for violations Of election laws ir several
districts, convictions and pleas of guilty
have been ordered in large number Of
cases. As an illustration, however. of the
difficulties met in such prosecutions, the
District Attorney for one district reports
that in certain county, a number of whose
citizens were convicted of violations of the
election laws, the County Court ordered all
fines and costs assessed against them in the
United States court to be paid out of the
County Treasury; and in another county, a
number of iwhose citizens in like man
ner were convicted. $500 was actually
paid out of the County Treasury Il pom SUCH
fines and costs in one day. These facts
speak for themselves"
