Meeting In the Corridor - Judge
Knowles Commission signed,

wAIuxorov. Feb. 26.-lSpocihl. by
strict party vote to-day The house COM
mittee on territories decided 10 report
favorably the bill admitting idaho. The
democrats on the committee will submit n
minority report against not only Idaho, but
Wyoming. Springer insists on his omni-
bus bill. admitting these territories and
Arizona and New Mexico at the same time.
His bill provides for enabling acts only,
while the Idaho and Wyoming bills admit
upon the constitut ion already adopted.
Springer stated that the admission of these
states would mean two more for the repub-
LEANS. and he wanted them Offset by
democratic Arizona and Wyoming.
Delegate Joseph, Of New Mexi-
co, appeared before the COM
miitee on territories to-day for the
FIRST time 10 urge his territory's admission,
while Smith. Of Arizona. has not said a
word. Both have admission bills pending.
To-day, while senator Ingalls, WAS speaking
about the important legislation that was
being kept back by the Blair educational
bill, he referred 10 the bills admitting Idaho
md Wyoming, among the most pressing.
As soon as these bills can be taken up by
the senate they will be passed. Delegate
Dubois expects 10 get some democratic sup
port for his Idaho bill, Notwithstanding
that Springer objects TO the Mormon
clanse in the constitution OF Idaho, which
is similar Ia the test oath" recently upheld
by the United States supreme court. II is
thought that the democrats in the house
will not follow Springer.

senate Executive sessions.

DUlph's committee. appointed 10 in
vestigate the method by which the news
of the senate's executive sessions became
public, resumed its sittings this afternoon
and began questioning the newspaper men
as 10 their sources Of information. A spe-
cial meeting of the senate committee on
rules was held to-day to consider Teller's
resolution, offered last spring providing
for the consideration Of nominations in
open or legislative sessions. On the ques-
tion. "Shall the rules of the senate be
changedl' there WAS tie vote. Teller's
resolution did not meet with the approval
of any member of the committee. Aldrch
and Blackburn, however, favor a rnodiiica-
tiou of the present rules 20 the effect that
nominations be considered in open session,
or the statement Of the action Of the SEN
ate in such executive session shall be fur
nished for publication.
The committee are beginning 10 discover
that newspaper correspondents are not the
only ones aware of what occurs in executive
sessions. A witness to-day testified that IL
was frequent custom for prominent men
whose nominations were being contested 10
establish themselves in committee rooms
near at hand IN order 10 receive informa-
tion from time TO time of how the fight
was progressing behind the closed doors.
The day the Morgan nomination WIS up.

Indian affairs around the sennte and had
no doubt Morgan knew what was going on.

Defending the Army.

In response TO the senate resolution the
secretary OF war today transmitted to CON
grcss papers relative to the actions OF the
military in Oklahoma. One interesting
feature is the charge against the military
OF undue and harsh exercise of authority.
Tie officers in charge reply that they found
large numbers of lawless people and tho nc
tion taken by them was necessary for the
preservation Of peace. The charges are
said TO have emannted from disconteuied
gamblers and others whom the military pre-
vented from causing trouble. As 10 pre-
venting the election Sept. II. IL was done nt

entertained that many have lost their lives.
A courier from near there says the wave
was fifty feet high when he first saw il. Tho
canyon was full of cottonwood trees and
was swept out clean. Where the lower
dam was building, two hundred and forty
feet long and sixty feet above the bed OF
the river, aud thirty nboye the surface,
every vestigo vi the structure was swept
away. prospector camping on

the sight from whore he stood WAS sublime

low where the canyon contracts 90 about
one-fuurth of liza width between pcrpondic-
ular rocks several hundred feet high, the
waters loapcd up and piled on top of one
another hundred feet high with fearful
crash nnd roar and rushed through the mar
row gorge like lightning. cleaning the last
vestige of everything movable, leaving tho
bare hard rock.
Two prospectors arrived this evening
from the scene of the dam disaster and give
additional interesting particulars. They
arrived NJ the dam Friday morning. Tho
