WASHINGTON, Jan. Elm the senate
to-day number of bills and resolutions
were introduced, and the bill to dispose
of certain lands in the state of Alabama
was debated. Among the petitions
presented were two from Kansas and
Texas respectively, the first urging the
selection Of Chicago and the secon the
selection of st. Louis as a site for the
worlds fair OF 1892. Mr.. Platt pre-
sented copy of the constitution
adopted at Boise City for the propUsed
state of Iiano. and it was referred to
the cOnmitte tee on territories. Mr.. Plumb
offered ii resolution. which was agreed
To. directing the managers of ma
tiOnal soldiers homes to report
on the advisabilty of establishing a
hospital at Hot Springs, Ark. for dis
abled Union soldiers. Mr.. Plumb of
fered a resolution, which went over, set
ting forth the fact that advertisements
had been issued for bids fer the seal
privileges in Alaska, and that under eX-
listing conditions no company had any
chance in the bidding with the Alaska
company, which was charged with eX-
ercisiny it's present rights there OPP
pressively; AMI calling upon the Sec
retary of the treasury to take no further
action in the direction of leas ng the
privileges until congress shall have
taken further action on the subject, and
in tile meantime to make full report
to congress as TO the manner in which
the Alaska company has discharged its
duties. MIR. Call offered long resolu-
ton setting forth the fact that the
bonded
DEBT OF THE ISLAND OF CUBA
was held by German bankers. that they
controlled the financial and political
policy of the island; that as neither
Cuba nor Spain would be able to repay
this money, an alliance between the
German empire and Spain would be the
natural result: and declaring that in the
sense of the senate, anything done in
the island of Cuna tending to transfer
the financial and political control of the
island to any European power is con-
trary TO The best interests of the United
States. and must be discouraged. 1t
also requested the president to furnish
the senate such information as the state
department may possess OH the subject.
Mr. 5 herman objected To- immediate con-
sideration of the resolution, ana it went
to the committee on foreign relations.
Mr.. Dawes offered resolution. which
was agreed to, calling on the postmaster
general for information as TO the pro-
posed connection of the postOffice depart
mrnt with the Telegraph companies,
and as to the probable cost OF construc-
ton of an independent government tel
egraph line between the cities of st.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 6.-The Demo
cratic senators and representatives met
again at noon to-day. took one ballot
for United States senator, and there
being no quorum present adjournment
was taken till tomorrow. EX-Gov.
Hauser, whose friends thought he
would secure the caucus nomination
for senator, in an interview to-day
talked very freely about the situation.
He says he believes the action of the
Democratic senators in taking the oath
of office was bad move, and that he
had always opposed it for tine reason
that SO long as the Democrats stayed out
they had the means of bringing about
an investigation OF the alleged fraud
III precinct thlrty-f0ur. But one or.
two Democratic senators would not
listen TO advice from anybody. and thus
forced all the Democratic senators to
take the oath. Referring to the charge
that HauSer is preventing the election
OF Democratic United States senators
by advising his supporters among the
state senators to stay away from the
joint convention. the ex-governor said:
las matter of fact | could not i'll
tfuence our senators, if | wanted to.
They are independent men. who will do
what they believe to he for the
BEST INTERESTS OF THE PARTY.
l will say in answer to that charge,
however, that in The past three days oUr
senators have been in daily telegraphic
communication with certain Democratic
United States seEa 5ors as to the course
they should pursue, and the action they
have taken is based upon the advice Of
these men," Referring to the possibility
of settlement of the deadlock, eX-GuV.
Hau>er said that i'll his opinion an early
settlement was possible but not very
probable, and that for the best interests
of the State the opposing parties ought
to get together. His opinion is that in
case four senators Should go to Wash
ington none of them would yet their

Gratis this evening with tie idea of unit
ing on some plan of action, but just
what action Was taken is not definitely

Land district, to Hartmann IL

Commissioner Croft to-day. The conf
miSsionerS lind that there was no fraud
in the issue nf the patent and entirely
exonerate Hartman u Mallet. They
find that the patent vas issued through
carelessness in the department. They
lay the blame for the error on Miss
Evans. but excuse her on account
of being new appointee, unfamiliar
with the work and not thoroughly
posted by her supeIiOrs. Clerk Doug

though he was misled by the error Of
Miss Evans in miSreading a telegram.
Commissioner Croft has taken no action
on the report yet, having only
received il at 4 p. M. No Indication
of what his action will he has yet
developed. This is in reality a hard
blow to the Minnesota lr0n company.
for the contestants were directors OF
that corporation, and the land Is of
enormous value. A. G. Brown. of Mill

mented by all ATTORNEYS and officials OF

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-The Montana
senatorial muddle is causing great in
tereSt down here. Senator Davis was
asked whether there was any precedent
for such state of affairs, and replied
that he did not think there was. The
law provides that senator's certificates
of election must be sgred by the exectl-
tive and secretary Of state with the
great seal of the state. Now if the two
Republicans come down with certifi-
Gates signed by the secretary of state
and lieutendnt-gOv rnOr, with the great
seal, they will not be up TO the require
mentS OF the law. In the same way, if
the two Democrats come down with GER
tificates signed by the governor. but
without the signatures of the secretary
of state and without the great seal, they
will he equally faulty. Senator Davis
expresses the opinion. however, that
the refusal of any state officer to per-
form his duty is not sufficient ground
for the will of the people to be set
aside, and that If four senators. two
Democrats and two Republicans, come

Senator Davis attention was called to
this and he said that such proceeding
would be absurd. as the constitution of
the United States expressly provides
that each house of congress shall be the
judge Of the election and qualification
of its own memhers, and it would make
little difference what the election court
decided, if the majority in the house
was small, the men who belonged to the
party in the majority would be seated,
The constitution is very explicit in its

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-In an opinion
rendered to-day in the well-known Ell

of the United States holds that silk and
cotton ribbons used exclusively as hat
trimmings are dutiable at % per cent
under the provisions of the tariff act of
1888 for trimmings for hats. b0nnets

under the provision for materials Of
which silk is the component of chief
value. The government will by this de-
cislOn be compelled to refund 1000, 900

court also rendered all opinion in the
case of Nephi w. Clayton. appellant, VS..
The People of the Territory of Utah, an
appeal from the supreme court of the
territory of Utah. This case arises out
of the peculiar situation OF affairs in
Utah caused by the Mormon question.
Clayton was elected auditor of public
accounts of Utah in 1879, and has held
the Office ever since, refusing to turn
over his Office to Arth r Pratt, ap-
pointed to the place by Gov. Murray. OF
Utah. 1t is cOntended that Clayton is

the act of the legislature of Utah
passed in 1852, creating the Office and
providing that it should be filled by
popular election, is in contraventi0n of
the organic act of the territory, which
vested the appointment of all except
lO'ai officers in the governor. The
supreme court Of Utah decided against
Clayton. and this court affirms that
Judgment. The decision of the
state supreme court in the case
