In the House.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Carter of Mon
tana submitted the conference report on
the bill to dispose of the Fort Ellis mill
tary reservation in Montana.
This bill Allen of Mississippi took as a
text for political speech, in which he
charged the republican party with de-
generacy and inconsistency.
McCreary of Kentucky gave notice that
he would raise the point of no quorum
against the conference report, and Carter
withdrew it.
Caswell of Wisconsin submitted letter
addressed to the speaker by Postmaster
Wheat rendering his resignation. Subse-
quently Spooner, from the committee,
submitted report. Ii states that although
the relations between Dalton (the pre-
vious postmasterD and Culbertson Ia
mail contractor gives rise TO a
suspicion of some private arrangement
between them whereby Dalton, during the
49th and 50th congresses derived personal
profits out of his contracts for carrying
the mails, no absolute proof was OBJ
tanned. The report was accompanied by
resolution declaring the office of post
master Of the house vacant and di-
rectiDg the assistant postmaster to per-
form the duties until a postmaster shall
be appointed and qualified.
Hayes (of Iowa. submitted a minority
report, dissenting in reference to Post
master Dalton.
Pending discussion upon the question
Mckinley called up the resolution for
final adjournment, with an amendment
fixing the hour at 6 o'clock. Agreed TO.
The Wheat resolution was then agreed to.
The speaker laid before the house a let

that he had forwarded the governor Of

from the seventh district in that state.
The speaker further stated that he had
received a similar communication from
Representative DeHaven of the first dis
trict of California, but the letter was mis-
laid.

Williams Of Ohio objected and Caswell
withdrew the resolution.
Mckinley, chairman OF the committee
appointed TO wait upon the president, an.
nounced that the president had no further
communication TO make, and then the
house took a recess.
During the recess nearly all the mem.
bers left the hall 20 make preparations
for their departure from the city, so when
the speaker re-convened the house that

empty seats. He merely stated that ac.

BOISE CRY, Idaho, Oct. Lowing to
the distance Of many polling booths from
the telegraph stations definite returns will
hardly be obtained from all over the state
inside OF two days, but enough is already
known in this city and vicinity TO warrant
the democrats in hoping Idaho's first state
legislature will be democratic. Democrats
here think the returns will show 25 repub-
licans and - democrats. This city and
county were the main battle ground, and
never was flercer political war waged.
The republicans stood by their legislative
ticket hereto man. Everything was sacri-
feed for their Legislators. Notwithstanding
this, il is believed at this hour that the
democrats elected AT least two out of six
on the legislative ticket for Ada county.
The vote on all is very close in this
county. The democrats elected sheriff,
county clerk and district judge, sure. In
all parts of the county except in this city,
the democrats made remarkable gains.
In this city in one precinct where citizens
and legal voters polled their votes, the
democrats showed big gains, but in the
other precinct $50 employees Of the "Big
Ditch south of town were voted almost
solidly for the republicans by Contractor
OConnor, who was paid by republicans
TO deliver the votes of his men and did il.
Never were more disgraceful scenes
witnessed at the polls. Boys who were
in their teens and bribed buns who had
not been in the state the required time,
aud knew they were not entitled TO vote,
urged on by their boss, took the oath and
voted the straight republican ticket.
Shoup for governor ran ahead of Will
son in this county, while Taylor, the dem
ocratic candidate for lieutenant governor,
gained a little. Mayhew for congress,
held his own well, and the result is in
doubt. Stevenson, state superintendent OF
public instruction on the democratic
ticket, and Tim Reagan for state treas.
urer, are considered reasonably safe,
Shoup lent great strength 10 his ticket
here. Dubois friends in this county stood
loyal to the republican ticket, though they
knew every man on the legislative ticke,
was an anti-Dubois man, and that Pride
was knitting them in Bingham.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Reed's boasted
business house suspended "business" to-
day, and its last act was the dismissal OF
thieving postmaster, whom II had
elected last December. Almost the entire
day was taken up in presentation and
discussion of this man, who had been
caught trying to make 81, 800 a year out OF
5000 contract. The republicans tried to
recover by putting suspicion upon Dalton.
the last democratic postmaster, but they
only succeeded in directing words OF sus-
picion to him at the same time that they
specifically declared that there was no
proof to justify the suspicion. Representa-
tive Caswell of Wisconsin, who was re-
sponsible for the robber postmaster, and
who Dragged that he had saved
to the government the money
he had been prevented from wrongfully
appropriating to his own use, proposed to
go into an election of a postmaster and
nominated another Wisconsin man for
the office. The house was not bowling
for any more Of Caswelrs thieving Wis
consin postmasters and his proposition
was declined.
II was bad day for Carter. and he was
in trouble that Reed could not help him
out of. He brought in the conference re-
port on the Fort Ellis reservation bill,
about which wired you last night. Allen
of Mississippi took the floor and made a
long political speech, provoking the first
defense of Quay that has been
heard since he was denounced
as "a branded criminal" and generally
scoring the republicans on the record of
the session. Then several members began
inquiring about the amount of land in the
Fort Ellis reservation, about how much
the state would get and about what sort of
land was included in the tract proposed
to be thrown open. At last, when Carter
appeared about to get vote, McCreary OF
Kentucky declared that the bill was one OF
such importance that il could not he con-
sidered and passed by less than a quo
rum, and Carter, who had been i'm a very
nervous state for two hours called for a
vote. There were 63 yeas and IL nays,
and the point of no quorum being made
by McCreary, the bill went over until the
next half of the session.
The speaker was in an unusually tyran
nical mood toward the last and there was
so much ill-feeling provoked on the demo
cratic side that business had to be sus
pended upon the point of order that ther'
was no quorum present to do business
The usual resolution of compliment fo
fairness, that the minority is accustomed
to offer for the speaker, was not pre-
sented by anybody. Even the loathsom'
Keifer was not so mean as to be treated
with this disrespect.
