WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Morrow, of Cal

reported the pension appropriation bill.
Referred 20 the committee of the whole.
The speaker laid before the House a mes
sage from the President transmitting with.
out comment communication from the
interior department proposing an amend
menI OF the act providing for the allotment
OF land in severalty to Indians.
The House went into committee of the
whole on the Senate bill to create the Office
OF assistant secretary of war At l 80 the
committee rose without action, and the
House resumed consideration of the bill to
provide a temporary government for Okla
homa. General debate was limited to
three and one-half hours, despite the an
peal OF Barnes and others for five hours,
tlme, and In retaliation for this enforced
limitation they called for the reading of
the original Senate bill and the House
substitute together, fifty nine printed
pages. Onehour and twenty minutes were
consumed in the reading, and it was after
8 o CLOCK before Struble, of Iowa, took the
noor IN support of the bill He criticised
the Senate bill because it failed to include
all Creek and Seminole lands purchased
under the last administration. The House
bill EN- braced all of the territory not occu-
pied by the five civilized tribes. This tract
IN area compared faVorably with the sur
rounding states. 1t was in the heart of a
country well watered; with 1,300 miles of
railroad; with business enterprises. coal
lands, agricultural industries. and popu
lation of 10000 people The House bill pro
posed TO organize it into territory. The first
part ot the Dill related to territorial officers

to be established. Provisions were ma lie
for the establishment of a supreme court
and for the trial of cases. National banks
could be established. ssNo Mans lan6n
was to be opened to settlement and town
sites to be reserved. One section of the
bill provided for the speedy settlement of
the controversy between the United States
and the state of Texas Prospecting the
ownership of Greer county.n What might,
be called the second division Of the bill re-
lated solely to the territory of Oklahoms
and created q supreme court and three dis
tflct courts to administer the law of Ark
ansas so near as applicable to that territory.
barnes advocated the Senate bill in
preference to the House substitute
Springer said that Barnes unintention-
ally tried to misrepresent the scope of the
plll. Under the constitution the United
States had rs much right TO lepislate
respecting the lands of the Cherokee out
let as it had TO legislate on any subject.
Hare had read as part of his remarks q
protest from Governor Bird, of the Chloe
taW nation, against the passage of the bill
as violation of the treaty made aft

Mansur and Perkins both insisted that
they had had communications from
Governor Bird asking to have a court
at a certain point. The com
mittee rose before the debate had concluded
and the House adjourned.

Treasury decision on Ring waste

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.--Assistant Secre-
tary Tichener made decision to-day in re
gard to the classification for the duty on
wool in the form known as ring waste. in
which he holds that the so-called "rinp
waste" is a genuine product resulting
from what is known as the French system
OF OF mule spinning now IN general use in
England, France and Germany; that as il
is imported in its ordinary condition and
not changed for the purpose of
evading duty, it is exempt from
the rate duty prescribed in certain
cases, and while ''ring waste''
is product of processes for spinning wool
INTO yarn, it is not waste" in the sense
OF the tariff act The customs officers are
therefore instructed that so-called s.rino
waste" when found to be wool of high
value, superior quality and in purified
state shall be subjected to duty as secured
wool OF It's appropriate class but when
from any cause it is really degenerated or
waste material of small value compared
with secured wool of higher grades. it shall

him to break his self-imposed vow. The car

came that he was at the point of death.
The holy father could no longer restrain
his affection. He entered an ordinary car
dinal's coach and drove to the palace, taking
no precaution to disguise himself other
than by holding handkerchief to his face.
HIS presence was surprise and consola-

diction and bidding farewell to the diving
cardinal, he returned to the Vatican quietly
aud unobserved.
