A WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Land Grant Forfeiture Bill
in the Senate.
OREGON LAWS FOR ALASKA
Obstructive Tactics in the House
Mr.. kennedy's Attack on
Senator Quay.

WASHINGTON, Sept lin the senate
tho house bill for the sale OF certain
lands for school purposes in the town o
Pelican, Wis, was placed on the calen'
dar.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Mr.. Morgan calling ON the secretary oi
the interior for information as 10 the
lands of the Northern Pacific railroad,
and other companies whose roads were
not completed within the period fixed
by the granting act, was agreed to.
The conference report on the railroad
land forfeiture bill was then taken up.
The main proposition is contained in
the first sections, forfeitIng to the United
States all lands heretofore granted by
any state O, corporation to aid in the
construction Of a railroad opposite TO
and coterminus with the portion of any
such railroad not now completed and in
operation, for the construction and bene-
fit of which such lands were granted,
and all such lands are declared q part of
the public domain, provided that this
act be not construed as forfeiting the
right of way or station grounds of any
railroad company heretofore granted.
Mr.. Morgan opposed tho report as a
log rolling scheme gotten up for the
benefit of all the land grant roads.
While the first section proiessed to be
forfeiture, all the other sections related
to separate railroads, and exempted
them from the operation Of the forfeiture
section, or else secured them certain
pecuniary advantages. The most that
could be said of the bill was that few
of the small railroads that had not
friends enough in the two houses were
to be crucfed for the sake of CHASING
over and vanishing tho false pretense of
general forfeiture. After speaking Tor
over four hours Mr.. Morgan yielded for
a motion to adjoarn.
REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS.
The republican senatorial caucus to
decide the order of business to-day con-
cluded to limit the programme for the
remainder of the session to the follow
ing bills, to be considered in the order
named, after the report OF the confer
ence committee on the land grant for
feituIe bill shall have been disposed of:
Tho anti-lottery mail bill; the bill to re-
peal the timber culture act; to establish

OF the supreme COURT for the adjust
ment of the claims of laborers, etc.

partment; the Paddock pure food bill;
the bill for the settlements OF the claims
arising from Indian depredations; the
bankruptcy bill; the bill to place tele-
graph companies under the operation of
the interstate commerce law; District of
Columbia bills.
The question of adjournment was dis
cussed only incidentally. Outside of
the caucus the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that after the tariff bill was dis
posed of, a quorum could be held Tor
only short time.

In the house to-day the senate bill
was passed for the relief OF Admiral s.
L. Carter.
On motion of Mr.. Carter, of Montana,
the senate amendments were concurred
in to the house bill authorizing the sec
retary OF the interior to submit proposals

The house then proceeded TO the con-

the clerk TO communicate TO the senate
that the house reprobates and condemns
Mr.. kenncdy's language as unparlia-
mentary.
Tho pending question was on the point I
of order against the resolution raised by
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio.
Mr.. Blount of Georgia, in arguing the
point, recalled the Brooks-Sumnerl Cpl
sode, and cited the action Of tho house
In that case. Whenever member OF
this body arraigncd a senator as felon
and traitor, by reason Of his conduct
in regard to legislation, there could be
no question but that the character of the
house was assailed. lie, Blount, was
not here to impugn tho character Of the
senator from Pennsylvania, or to inves-
tigate whether or not the charges made
by the gentleman from Ohio were true,
But the question of tho character and
dignity OF the house was the one with
which the members had something to
do, and for which the people would hold
them to rigid responsibility.
The chair ruled the point In order.

resolution referring Mr. Enloo's reso-

THE news !
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS TO
THE CITIZEN TO-DAY.
THE STRIKE ON THE NEW YORK
CENTRAL.
FIRST FREIGHT TRAIN WENT
OUT THIS MORNING.
OFFICIALS SAY THEY WILL WIN
THE FIGHT.
POLICE: OUT, hut THERE'S NlS
USE FOR rHEMl.

NEwa ycRK, August 11.--Whatcvc,
way one looked at the situation thi.
morning it seemed as though the strike
on the New York Central was slowly
petering out. Nevertheless both parties
to the blockade of passenger and ircigh,
traffic were, so far as words went at all
events. as stubborn as ever.
All through the night the Grand Cen
tral depot presented II scene of unusual
quiet and gloom, but rs daylight began
to appear Il was hurry, scurry every,
where. There was some apprehension
apparently as to how the days work
would Ike begun and the third day of the
great strike entered upon. The newspn.
per train moved out exactly on time at
3.55 n. m, and before seven o'clock two
trains had been sent out over the Harlem
division. Having been successful so far
the management set about making its
plans for the day and soon after the an
nounccment was made that all trains
would be run to-day with the exception
of the Croton locals, both north and
south bound. 1t was thought advisable
to abandon these trains altogether, but
ut the same time, to meet the emergency,
the management arranged so that all
trains, except express trains, should stop
at all way stations north of Spuytin
Duyvil.
The police arrangements remain about
the same as yesterday with exception
that the men were told not to- leave their
posts to-day for even an instant.
1t was reported this morning that
the frcmen OF the road had struck, but
this was denied by Vicc-Prcsidcnt Webb,
who said: "All the trains are running
all right and every one OF them lett here
fully Manned"
"What about the signal towers? ?"
asked a reporter.
"Thcy are also fully manned and the
men changed their shifts this morning as
though no strike had ever occurred"
"Thc fact is. my young friend" con
tinued Mr.. Webb, everything is beaut
lul all along the road, except at Syria
cuse. At that point the railroad is no;
getting sufficient protection. have tel
cgraphcd to Governor Hill asking him to
send out plenty of Tilitia in order to pro.
tect the employees Of our road.
I'VE have already made arrangements
Tor moving freight this morning. have
not heard from Mr.. Dcpcw yet, and in
deed do not expect to hear from him
to-day. You see we have copcd with the
strik' so far ourselves and ! think that
the worst Of it is over, so that you can
readily see that there is no likelihood that
Mr.. Depew will be called upon to inter
fcrc."
The first train of freight forwarded
from this city over the road since the
strike began, moved out this morning
All the freight shipped was pcrishabc
The departure of the train was watched
by about 100 men who stood in the ad-
jaccnt vacant lots. Two hundred police.
men were Oh hand. but there was prac-
tically nothing for them to do.

RUTHERFORD COLLEGE
II TOTALLY DESTROYED by
FIRE.
4 $4,000 Library BurIled--The
school to he COntinued-I'Ossi.
bile Cause of the FiTe-A worthy
Tribute.

Rutherford College at Connally' S
81 rings burned early Saturday morn
ing. Mr. Gay Green, who went there
Saturday to attend school, and saw the
building burn, told the CITIZEN to-day
that all the buildings pertaining to the
college were totally destroyed. The loss
including 81 600 in students notes tha,
can be replaced, Dr. Albcrnathy's library,
$4,000 and two society libraries is about
$50. 900, of which the building cost
$4,000 and was not insured. Mr..
Green states that the faculty have great
hopes OF rebuilding at once. An effort
will be made to continue the school in
the Methodist church, which has kindly
been placed 1T their disposal.
1t is suspected that the fire was the
work of an incendiary. Some years ago
Il student was killed and his fellow stu
dents were accused of taking part in the
lynching OF the murderer The relatives
oi the latter have, it is said, made threats
of"gctting cvcn," and it is thought this
fire is the result of such threats.
There was no little excitement during
the hire, but no one was hurt. Noattcmpt
was made to put out the fire, for there
was nothing with which to fight it.
The Raleigh Chronicle says: Ruthcr-
ford College has II warm place in the
hearts of all patriotic North Carolinians,
and its president and professors deserve
the lasting gratitude of every citizen.
This college has given free tuition and
help to hundreds OF poor boys who
could not have obtained an education
without this help. DIR. Alternately has,
in hardships unknown, sacrificed more
for the education of poor boys than any
living North Carolinian, and in the Sc.
we're loss that has come to him, he de-
serves not only the sympathy of the
people, but their practical help as II.
1t is not only personal loss. 1t Is a
loss to the State.
