that the tariff bill could not possibly be
taken up this week. as the senate would
probably adjourn from Thursday till
Monday and probably the Idaho Dill
would not be disposed of this week.
The report having been read, the Idaho
bill was temporarily laid aside and the
agricultural appropriation bill taken
up. There are q few amendments
Mr.. Coke moved to add to the para
habits of insects $25, 900 for investigat-
ing the history of and remedies for the
cotton ball worm. Agreed to. The
bill then passed. In the house
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky pre-
sented the credentials of w. W. Dick
enson as representative-elect to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Carlisle. Mr.. Dickinson
then took the oath of Office. The de-
bate on the federal election bill was
then resumed, Mr.. Herbert of Idaho
being accorded the floor. Mr.. Herbert
dwelt on the construction laws and
said that by them the negro had been
taught to distrust the southern white
man. The negro was now learning
that 1t was not for his interest to array
himself solidly against the white man
and the white man was doing every
thing in his power to teach the negro
this lesson. II the south was allowed
to work out the problem for itself the
time would soon come when the negro,
being educated as the white man was,
would be able to take care of himself,
both as taxpayer and as citizen.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Houk.
Coleman, Burrows, Chapman, and 9TH
ers, but definite action was not taken.
In the senate on the 1st Mr.. Morgan
introduced a bill providing that no
person shall enter any public lands in
Wyoming under the homestead or other

or who teaches, counsels, aids or en-

or polygamy, or who is member of
any association that teaches polygamy.
Referred to committee on public lands.
The conference committee on the legis-
lative appropriation bill reported that
it was unable to agree on the pay of
senator's clerks and committee clerks,
and new conferees were appointed.
The Idaho admission bill was re-
sumed and Mr.. Vance spoke in oppo-
sition to it. The bill then passed with
out division. A message from the
house, announcing that it had resolved
to adhere to its disagreements to the
legislative appropriation bill was pre-
sented by Mr.. Dawes of the conference
committee, who stated that the house
declined to confer further. After a
leng discussion the senate refused to
recede from it's amendments by
a vote of "a to 10. In
the house consideration of the
federal election bill was resumed.
Mr.. Lodge offered an amendment to
the bill providing that as soon as the
certificate of the board was made pub
lie any person who was candidate for
election may by motion before the
United States circuit court having jur-
isdiction in the district, contest the
correctness of the certificate made by
the board and demand an examination
and compilation of the returns. The
returning officers shall produce before
the circuit court all the returns, re-
ports, tickets and all evidence on
which it acted in advance in awarding
the certificates. The circuit court
shall thereupon determine and certify
the person shown entitled to the GER
tificate; also an amendment providing
that if there be an appeal from the de-
cision of the United States board OF
canvassers to the circuit court the
clerk of the house shall place on the
rolls as representative-elec the name
of the person certified by said court as
entitled to the seat. The amendment
was agreed to. Mr.. Buckalew of Penn
sylvania moved to strike out section

place the selection of jurors in the
hands of the clerks of courts. Adopted
