HOAR DISGRUNTLED.
The Exact Parliamentary Status
OF the Force Bill
Is Somewhat in DOubt-The Massachusetts,
Senator is Very Sore Over
The Natter.

LSpecialto THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatchl
NEW YORK, jan. "a Sun special from
Washington says: The exact parliament
tary status of the force bill at present is
somewhat in doubt. Senator Edmunds
says the financial bill is now the unfinished
business and must be laid before the Sen
ate day after day until disposed of and than
it cannot be superseded by the force bill or
any other measure unless by direct vote
of the Senate. Other Senators do not
agree with this construction of the rules.
Senator Hoar said last night relative to the
parliamentary status of ms force bill: CT
think the vote to-day shows conclusively
that eight Republican Senators are opposed
to the bill and it would seem useless to
press it further"
Don't you suppose some of those Sena-
tors will be willing to vote for the election
bill after the financial question has been
disposed of.'' was asked
81 don't see why l should suppose any,
thing of the kind. Their votes to-day indi-
Gated very clearly their opposition to the
election bill and 1 see no reason TO expect
them to change their opinions on the sub
ject."
When asked whether he would press the
bill for further consideration, he replied he
did not see why he should under the cir
cunstances. He then went on to explain
that with eight Republicans voting with
the Democrats there is no prospect Of pass
ing the bill

Governor Huns Message.

ALBANY, Jan. 6.-The assembly was
called to order this morning and immedi-
ately elected its officers. For the first time
In many years the Democrats controlled
the body. William z. Sheenan was elected
speaker over Milo NJ. Acker the candidate
of the Republicans. Sheenan briefly ad-
dressed the assembly, after which minor
officers were elected in accordance with the
programme. The governors message was
then read. Governor Hill IN his annual
message to the legislature says: "In en-
tering upon the seventh and last year of
my services as chief executive of the state.
will not affect TO conceal my qualification
at the fact that for the first time during
the past seven years the popular branch of
the legislature is in political accord with
the executive"
The first clause of the above is quoted as
an official announcement that he will not
be a candidate for third term. The gov
ernor calls upon the legislature to provide
for the enumeration of the people of the
state, that a fair and just apportionment
may follow i'll due time. The governor de-
nounces the election bill, and saws the
United States Senate is ignoring pressing
legislative business in order to push through
TINS revolutionary measure" He urges
the legislature by resolution or otherwise,
as may seem BEST to express so emphatic
ally its condemnation of the proposed leg
islation, that the united voice of the New
I ork Representative in Congress NAV be
secured to avert from the state and the
couutry the evil effects of so unwise a
law.

eral action as will enable the state to make

PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Opinions of the New York Papers
on the Side-Tracking
0fthe Federal Election Bill-It is Generally
Commended. Except by the Repub-
lican Tribune.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.l
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Here are a few
opinions of the leading New York papers
on the side tracking of the force bill.
The Press (Rep) 1.-THE laying aside of the
federal election bill in the Senate yester-
day, On MIR. Stewards motion to take up
currency legislation, is regarded, apparently
with reason, as serious break in the Re
publican ranks. 1t is TO be taken seriously
in one sense, but in another it is not. In
the first place, there is no sort of doubt
that great many Republicans of the most
intelligent and influential type are opposed
to methods that would disturb the growth
of the south's business prosperity at this
important crisis of it. This opposition is
not entirely due to mercenary consid-
Grafton, but very largely to belief that the
race question will solve itself and disappear
as northern immigration to the south in
creases and as education improves the tit
ness of ignorant white and colored voters
for the rights of citizenship
The World DEM: ''E'rom the votes of
eight Republican Senators yesterday to lay
aside the force bill, even Mr.. Hoar should
be able to infer the country is not clamOr-
! ing for a bayonet behind every ballot.
Merssrs. Stewart, Teller, Washburn, VOL
colt and the rest, including TWO Senators
fresh from the people, may be supposed to
know something about popular sentiment,
and they are convinced that their Repub-
Icon constituents want the Senate to stop
wasting its time over this unpatriotic
measure and go to work at practical legis-
| latiOn.n
The STAR Dem.) ssThe advocates of fraud
and the force election bill were yesterday
astonished and demoralized. The most I'M
| kindest cut of all in the eyes of Senator
Hoar and his fellow followers was the vote
of the Idaho Senators, to whom the RepuD-
licans had just awarded their seats. The
success is a gloriuus one for the upholders
of free elections
The Times Qnd.): cit was a great sur
prise to Mr.. Hoar yesterday when, on the
very eve of caucus called TO arrange for
the passage of the force BILL that bill was
! calmly voted outof the way and the finance
bill was taken up in its place. The change
in the situation is as important as it is sud
/ den and the country will watch, not with
out anxiety. the further action of the new
combination
The Tribune (Rep.): 1.-THE spectacle
presented in the Senate yesterday is not
/ one that Republicans generally can view or
speak of with patience. The names of the
eight members of the majority who united
with the Democrats are not likely to be
/ forgotten. A combine of this kind can
only end in disaster to the Republicans who
/ engage in it.''

The Fight Near Wounded Knee

ST. Louis, Jan. Ga special from the
camp near Wounded Knee creek, S. d.,
gives the particulars of another engage
ment which took place at that point yes

men was sent olt from the camp to meet a
wagon train with supplies for the camp,
and when ten miles out the wagons were
found besieged by a band of hundred
Indians. On seeing the troops approach

number could not be ascertained, as the
reds carried their dying and wounded away.
About three hours after the courler's de-
parture troops were seen coming at full
gallop to the rescue. The Indians scattered
in all directions and the wagon train was
escorted to the camp safely.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Senate Considers 1t i'm Secret
-
PRESIDENT ARTHUR'S TREATY
Its Terms for the First Time Are Made
Public-GOvernor Hills Message to the
New York Legislature.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The complications
between Nicaragua and Costa RIGA grow
ing out of the boundary dispute affecting
the Nicaragua Canal company concession,
were discussed again to-day by the Senate
in secret session and the committee on
foreign relations was instructed to inquire
into what steps have been taken under the
act of Congress incorporating the company,
and what are the present conditions and
prospects of the enterprise, and consider
and report what, in its opinion, the inter
ests Of the United States may require in re
spect to that inter oceanic communication.
The Senate also made public the treaty
signed December l, 1854 between the
United States and Nicaragua providing for
the construction of an inter-oceanic canal
across the territory of that republic. The
letter transmitted was signed by President
Arthur and Is z strong argument in demon
stration OF the necessity for the canal from
political and commercial reasons. The
startling information is contained that this
treaty (Which was 10 have been ratified
within two years but did not obtain ratifi-
Cationl bound the United States and Mica

self is ma lie up of twenty five articles. The
first and second articles read, that "the
canal shall be built by the United States
ana owned by them and Nicaragua. There
shah be q perpetual alliance between the
United States and Nicaragua and the
former agrees TO protect the integrity of
the territory Of the latter"
The other articles provide, in brief. that
the canal shall be of the largest class of ship
canals; that the United States shall have
the free use of Lake Nicaragua; that the
United States shall pay for private lands
used; that a strip of land two and half
miles wide shall be set apart for the WORK

money and build the canal, railway and tel

have exclusive control of the canals con

Salisbury Considering Blaine's Dispatch

LONDON, Jan. 6.-The Press association
announces that Salisbury is engaged in
consideration of a forty page dispatch re-
ceived from Blaine December 80 last from
Washington. 1t does not contain definite
acceptance Of subsidiary proposals for ar
bitration on the main question-that of the
right of British sealers to catch seals in
Behrlng sea. The ASSOCIATION says Blaine
discusses only the Salisbury point-arbi-
tration on the time for closing the sealing
season. The association adds: Blaine has
not replied to Pauncefote's note of June
last, in which the latter says her majesty's
government must hold the government of
tho United States responsible for the conse-
quences arising from acts of interference
with British vessels contrary to the prin-
ciples of international law. The associa-
zion also states that no preparation has
been made to augment the British fleet in
the Northern Pacific ocean, as such step
might be regarded as menace.

SOUTHERN BONDS.
Suit is Brought Against Secre
tary Blaine
To Recover on Them-The Grounds on Which
the Plaintiff ReIies-Seward's
Proclamation.

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. Cd. Van Raalte,
the Dutch consul at Glasgow, has brought
suit against James G. Blaine, as secretary of
state of the United States. Prior to July %,
1868, the plaintiff bought S125, 900, negotiable
coupon bonds issued by the southern states
as state and confederate states bonds
jointly. On the date named above, Secre-
tary of State Seward issued proclama-
ton proclaiming that all such obligations
were void. The plaintiff ccnteads this was
an implied admission that without such
prohibition the debt or obligation
would be good and valid. He aIleg eff
Stewards proclamation was an illegal
interference with the rights of plaintiff as
a citizen of Great Britain and Holland. The
case presents many curious points The
principal contention will be that as the su-
preme court has held that none of the
southern states were out of the union, the
secretary of state had no authority to issue
his proclamation

Miles Urging His Recommendations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Cit is stated at the
interior department that the war depart
ment officials to day received telegram
from General Miles urging prompt approval
of his recommendation that the Indian
agents at the South Dakota agencies be
superseded by army officers and stating the
situation demands that the change be made
at once. Secretary Noble declined to saw
anything upon the subject when questioned
to day, but it is asserted he will vigorously
oppose the adoption of the plan upon the
ground that it inevitably would result In
undoing all, or nearly all, the good that has
been done in recent years toward the
material advancement of the Indian tribes
of the northwest.

THE PATRIARCHS.
They Give Their First Ball of
the Season
At Delmonico's = Ward McAllister Led the
March with Mrs. AstOr-The English
Cotillion Began at 2 IN

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Jan. 6.-The Patriarchs gave
their first ball of the year in New York last
evening at Delmonico's. 1t was midnight
before the ball was fairly under way, but
when once started it was the gayest event
of the season so far. The guests numbered
over three hundred, among them were a
number of strangers temporarily sojourn-
ing here. There was informal dancing for
an hour or more previous to supper. This
was served at small tables and was alto
gether more elaborate than usual, the
wines being more expensive than at any
previous bail. Mr.. Ward McAllister led
the march with Mrs. Aston. Mr. Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt followed with Mrs Willing,
Mr.. Chauncey Depew with Mrs. Paran
Stevens, Mr.. Joseph H. Choate and Mrs.
! Lloyd Boyer. The English cotillion began
| at o'clock and lasted until $780, Mr..
Franklin Bartlett led the dancers, his part
ner being Mrs Thomas T. Newbold, who
was attired in pink silk with profusion of
lace trimming and diamond ornaments
which were very becoming to her brunette
! style. Ex-senator Hitchcock and Mrs.
Ferdinand Yznaga were partners. Among
the 300 present were the Marouise of Tally
rand-Perigard, D. o. Mills, Mrs. McAllis-
tel and Daniel Dougherty.

Spirit of the London Press,

LONDON, Jan. 6.-The st. James Gazette

however, But why is the United States

is to make Behring sea mare clausum
The officers of the American navy do not
act upon rumors printed in American
papers"
The Pau Mall Gazette says: "Blaine
obviously means to try more bounce for
the sake of making political capital We
are convinced, however, the Americans
will not support him. 1t is imperative to
arbitrate the matters in dispute.''
The Globe says it attributes the friction
to Blaine's 'bragging spread eaglesm, u
and is of the opinion, in view of a posi-
bic though unlikely, American display of
force in Behring sea, Great Britain ought
instantly to strengthen her Pacific SQUAD
ron. The Globe also advocates a settle
ment of all matters in dispute by means of
arbitration.
