WAsHrEGror CI1Y. Sept. 1.-THE pro-
gramme Of bills to be passed by the House
in the remaining days Of this session is
short Members are anxious about the
several important measures which it il
deemed desirable to act on, aside from the
minor measures which may get in by unsn-
imous consent. taking but few moments
to dispose of each. The only bills that are
seriously thought Of as having chance for
action are the shipping bills and the But
terworth option bill, hut the chances for
even these two measures are ex.
tremely slim. The chairman of the
shipping committee said TODAY that
he thought they would have to 60 over uotil
the next session. as nothing at all could be
done after the conference report on the tariff
bill was submitted to the House. Pending
the report from the conference, the con-
tested election cases and the deficiency ap-
preparation bill stood to block the way
against all else.
There are several bills of local import
ance to Washington which will probably
have to 90 over until the next session.
One bill in particular. which Wilson said
tonight he would try to call up, is the Cnur
d'Alene Indian bill Perkins, chairman of
the Indian committee, said he still thought
his committee would be given day. and if
that is done the chances of the Ceur
d'Alene bill will be favorable. If no day
is gwen this committee, the bill can come
up only by unanimous consent. and as it
carries large appropriation there is not
strong probability of its consideration.

WAsHIEeToN CIrY. Sept 17.-In the
Senate Blair delivered an address on the
joint resolution proposing an amendment
to the constitution conferring representa-
tion on the District Of Columbia in con-
gress and in the electoral college,
The Senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration OF bills on the calendar, and the
following were passed: The Senate bill to
reimburse certain persons who expended
moneys and furnished services and supplies
in repelling invasi0ns and suppressing In
dian hostiiities in Nevada; the Senate bill
appropriating $4,000 for . monument in
Washington City to the memory of John
Ericsson: the House bill to amend the act
of February, 1885, 90 as to entitle men
who have served thirty years in the army.
navy or marine corps to be placed on the
retired list with Is per cent. of their pay
and allowances; the Senate bill releasing
8. III. Brooks, assistant treasurer of the
United States at San Francisco. and his
sureties from liability for $4,000 lost at
that sub-treasury.
The Senate resurled consideration Of the
Senate bill to establish q United States
land court for the settlement of private
land cases in Nevada, Colorado and Wyo-
ming, and in the territories of New Mex
leo. Arizona, and Utah. Dolph moved to
amend the fourteenth section by providing
that where lands decreed to any claimant
shall have been sold or granted by the
United States it shall be lawful for such
claimant to execute release to the United
States of his right to the land so sold or
granted and to receive payment therefor
at the rate of .25 per acre; agreed to.
Wolcott meved to amend the seventh re-
strlction on the court, which limits confir-
nation to eleven square leagues
of land to any one claim
ant, and to make the clause
read, mo confirmation shall in any case
be made or a patent issued for any less
quantity than was originally issued by the
government in which the claim had in
ception." He argued in support of his
amendment, and said it would be better
that no bill should pass rather than one so
unjust and inhuman as the pending bill
Ransom opposed Wolcott's amendment.
After long discussion the bill was laid
aside without action.
Plumb offered a resolution to re-commit
the House bankruptcy bill to the judiciary
committee with instructions to recommend
a voluntary bankruptcy, and gave notice
that he would ask vote on the resolution.

THE NEFF LAND CASE.


Final Decision Can BE Made Only BY
Secretary OF Interior.
WARRINGTON CRY. Sept 17.-John T.
Ne6's claim against the government for
$4,000. which he paid twice tor lands in
Washington, came to light again today.
The case is getting to be one of the historic
ones in the department of the interior.
Ever since dishonest official neglected to
credit Neff with his first payment the case
has been dragging along. The burning OF
the land Office in Spokane Falls fire COM
plicated it. Senator Allen and Represen-
tative Wilson have been at no end of trou-
BILE to get evidence that Neff
have been made which it was thought set
tied the case forever, but it has broken out
again. This time it is the subject Of let
ter from the secretary OF the interior to the
land Office, IN which he says the ruling that
Neff may have his money is altogether too
premature. In making that ruling they
override his own decisions. and take
upon themselves the power of set
tling questions which only the head of
the. department can settle on ap-
peal. and the action in the Neff
case will not be allowed to stand. He
directed that Neff be treated by them a.
others have in similar cases. and he is not
satisfied. An appeal may be taken to the
secretary.
The case is OF Importance. because one
OF the new points made was that the gov
eminent could not sue for damages on the
bond Of an official, and the land Office pro-
poses TO make a test of it Should an ap-
peal be made to the secretary, it is likely
to be several months before decision can
be reached.

He Must Give Up Tribal Relations Be-
fore Settling ON Land.
WAsHrNGroN CRY, Sept. I7.-Acting
Secretary Chandler today filed q decision
involving the rights of an Indian who
claims land which lies within the limits
of q railroad grant, because of settlement
prior to the time the company's rights at
tached. The case is that of the Northern
Pacific against Peter ]. Quoda, who claims
lot 10. section l. township 20, range 5, in
the Olympia, WASH, land district. Quoda
claims to have improved and
cultivated this land for twenty
one years. and he applied for
homestead rights under the act Of July.
1884. which provides that Indians, who
have located on public land or who may.
under the direction Of the secretary of the
inferior, so locate, may avail themselves of
the privilege of the homestead laws as
fully as may be done by citizens of the
United States.
The secretary holds that the residence of
the Indian on the land, he not having
given up his tribal relations, did not ex-
empt the land from the grant to the North
ern Pacific, and to allow him to take up
the land, under the act referred to, would
be to put q retroactive construction on that
law, as the law was not passed until the
company had filed its map of definite loca-
ton. The secretary accordingly reverses
the decision Of the land commissioner, and
denies hearing.

Cheadle Of Indiana Says Whites Must
Rule in the South.
WASHINGTON Cry, Sept. 17.-In the
House the Langston-Venable contested
election case came up, and the Democrats
resorted to the tactics of leaving the cham
Der when the roll was called to prevent
consideration, but the clerk finally man

Wisconsin proceeded to argue the case.
Cheadle OF Indiana opposed the major
ity resolution and declared that the Fourth
district of Virginia was reliably Republi-
can. 1t had been carried by the Demo-
Gratis, not because of the popularity of
Cleveland or the unpopularity of Harrison.
but because of irreconcilable differences in
the Republican party. 1t had been race

less Republicanism. He was confident that
there never could be a strong and effective
Republican party in the South till there

Woman.
TACOMA, Sept 17.-There is evidently an
organized band of thieves working this
city. There is a woman in the gang who
plays bold part, acting both as spy in siz-
ing up houses for the others to rob, and
also lifting valuables herself as she finds it
convenient She is described by one whose
house has lately been gone through as
being a woman Of % or thereabouts and of
very slender build. weighing not more
than lis pounds. She has dark hair and a
profusion of it. dark, handsome eyes and
singularIy regular and prepossessing feat
ures. Her carriage is erect, her eyes keen
and penetrating. She wore street dress
of fashionable make, of black and white
check stuff, the bottom of the skirt trimmed
with three bands of narrow black velvet
ribbon, and the same kind of ribbon orna-
mented the corsage of the dress, being so
arranged as to come TO q point in bands
about the 'front.' The police are doing their
best to apprehend her. as well as her dar-
ing associates, who are becoming terror
to citizens.

at work in the morning, and the building
will be completed in time for the opening

Brown, of Washington. today telegraphed
Senator Allen that he had two courts rum

marshal's fees. He asked the senator to
have their requisition, which he had sent

trouble with the department in getting
money for assistants for court-rooms and

like the last request. it takes the personal
intervention of the senators or representa-
