After his recreation in NewYork and Brook
yn last week, it is likely that Governor Hill
will devote himself aSsiduOuSly for the next few
DAYS to the bills which remain to be disposed
of. At midnight on Saturday the time allotted
10 him for this work will expire. 1t will be
seen by readers of our Albany letter that the
principal measures yet TO be acted on are those
relating to this city chief among which are the
Aqueduct- Claims bill, the Cable Railway bill,
the act rcorganizing the Sheriff : office. and the
bill in reference to Il railway bridge across the
East River. Several of the other measures are
likewise of considerable importance. The Gov
crnor has had abundant opportunities for learn
ing how the people and the city officials feel
regarding the matters concerned doubtless he
asked some questions and got some information
during his recent stay here. The cases in
which be should withhold his signature are no

The BAIIIIREI CASE

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb 6-The evidence
in the libel suit of Rev. DR.. Ball for s25, 900
damages against the New York Evening
Post. growing out of the presidential cam
paign of 1884, was closed today and coun-
sci began summing up. Mr.. Ball had
attacked Mr.. Cleveland's personal char
acter publicly and the Evening Post had
paid its respects to Mr.. Ball for haying
done SO.
John G. Milburn first summed ND for
the defense. He, for one, regretted and
many good men would regret that this
case had ever come into court At
ter Mr.. Cleveland had administered
the affairs of this country with ability and
manliness, and had taken to himself a
wife who had won not only the admiration
but the affection of the country for the
dignity, courtesy and simplicity with
which she presided over the white house,
1t was to be regretted that the old feelings
of 1884 were to be raked over by this min
lister In his greed for money. Mr. Moot
began his summing up for the prosecution.

OKLAHOMA'S GOVERNMENT.
The Senate Debates 1t and Passes to
Other Matters.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Bills authorizing
the construction of bridge across the De-
troit river at Detroit and across the Miss
issippi river at Natchez were reported
back adversely from the committee on
commerce. The first was indefinitely post
poned and the second was placed on the
calendar. On motion of Mr.. Allison the
senate bill to amend and alter the acts of
August 6, 1855, authorizing the construc-
tion of railroad, wagon and foot passen-
ger bridge across the Mississippi river at
Burlington, Ia, was taken from the cal
endar and passed. Mr.. Harris moved an
adjournment from today until next Mon
day. After some debate the motion of Mr..
Harris was agreed to.
The senate then took up the bill to pro-
vide temporary government for the terri
tory of Oklahoma.
After considerable discussion in section
under which persons of foreign birth
(having declared their intention to be-
come citiZens) are permitted to vote at
the first election was so amended as to re-
quired persons of foreign birth to have de-
clared their intention to become citizens
twelve months prior to the election.
Considerable discussion in which Mr..
ingalls,, Mr.. Platt, Nh. Plumb and Mr..
EdmundS INDUCED, followed as to the ex-
pedience of passing the bill so long as it
included only about 5000 square miles.
Mr.. Hale thought that the senate ought
not to agree to this scheme and the propo-
sition of a territorial government, unless
ii is clearly stated in the bill that it was
contemplated hereafter to add largely to
the lands covered by the bill.
Mr.. lngalls-W hat. in addition to the
present area, can be included when other
Indian titles are eXtinguished?
Mr.. Platt-The Cherokee outlet, occu-
pied to the west by the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes, Green county, Arkansas, and
all the land occupied by the five nations.
There are innumerable questions TO arise
f you go outside of that land now open to
settlement. But the committee, recog
nizing the need of law down there, Thought
that the only thing TO be done was to rele-
gate this question TO the future and TO
provide government Tor the territory
Mr.. Nest-The limits in this bill do not
include No Mans Land
Mr.. Platt-l should have so stated.
Mr.. Dawes-Do the 5000, GOO acres which
IL Is proposed will be opened up TO settle
ment by congress and which would be
added TO the lands which would come
come under the jurisdiction of the pro-
posed territorial government include the
area embraced In the two acts of last
congress?
MIR. Plumb-They do not.
After further discussion and the adop-
ton of various amendments the bill went
over till Monday to allow the educational
bill TO be taken up.
Mr.. Blair, however. yielded 10 Mr..
Spooner on whose motion the house ioint
resolution appropriating S75.o,to for the re-
lief OF certain Chippewa Indians of the Ia
Point agency in Wisconsin, was taken up

GOVERNOR FLEMING INAUGURATED.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. Ex-Governor
A. ID. Fleming was inaugurated at noon
today, the ceremonies taking place from
the main entrance to the state house. The
air was cold, a raw wind blowing, and for
this reason the attendance was not large.
Republicans and especially Republican
members of the legislature generally abb
sented themselves from the ceremony.
The inaugural address was quite short and
the only noteworthy feature perhaps was
the reference to the contest for the Office.
That contest the governor defended He
thought his course was right and the leg
lslature after an examination stretching
over a year had upheld his claims.
This evening there was a brilliant re-
ception at the state house followed by a
bail. Governor Fleming and Ex-Governor
Wilson and wife assisted by number of
ladies received the guests in the reception
room attached to the governors suite at
the capitol. The reception lasted from
p. m. till 10 and was followed by ball in
