A Quorum in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Blair was in his
seat when the Senate met this morning,
and the greetings extended him by his Re
publican colleagues were more than ordin-
narily hearty for the reason that his return
was necessary to make up the long ex-
pected Republican quorum. The Republi-
cans now have forty-five in Washington,
assuming none have lett the city since
Saturday, which is just quorum. The ao-
dition of Senator Farwell is expected to-
day, and it is said Senator Chandler will
also be present within short time The
late cIoture resolution and the election bill
itself are said to be involved in the attend
ance of these Senators, who may have to
make good the possible detection of at least
two Republican Senators who are openly
opposed to the BILL

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-Gorman argued
against the correctness of the ruling made
by the Vice-President Friday to the effecu
that an appeal from decision was not de-
oatable because the question itself on
which the decision was made "a motion to
lay on the table) was an unbeatable one.
Edmunds held the decision was alb
solutely right The discussion kept up
some time when German withdrew his mo.
ton. It's thought TO be something in the
nature of a flank movement against the
closure matter.
Mitchell presented d resolution (which
went over calling on the secretary of war
for copies of ali recommendations and
statements of boards of trade as to a site
foc gun factory on the Pacific coast.
The election bill was taken up and
George spoke. He remarked in
the course of his speech, that much had
been said ABOUT the new consti-
tuition of Mississippi which was less
leable to abuse than those of several other
states. He answered that the constitution
of Oregon adopted in $3.50 contained pro-
visions prohibiting the Immigration of ne
groes and practically outlawing them.
Dolph said that constitution was framed
when Oregon was hopeleSsIy Democratic
under the lead of General Joe Lane. Iu
mad not since been amended.
George dwelt on the matter at some
length, saying in response to a query Of
DOlph that these provisions may not be an
expression of the judgment of the people Of
Oregon of the present day, but they were
an expression at that time, and the people
of Oregon have not seen tit to withdraw
them.
The Vice-President laid before the SEN
ate a message from the President trans
hitting the agreement with the Crow
Indians for the sale of the western part of
their reservation in Montana.
Hoar moved that the adjournment to-day
be until noon tomorrow to give the Senate
an opportunity to attend the funeral of Mr..
| Bancroft. Agreed 10.
George resumed his speech, but yielded
for executive session and the Senate adj
iourned.

The Indians at Pine RIDGE Uu.asv

PINE RIDGE, Jan. 19.-More nervousness
was noticed among the Indians this morn
ing than has been noted for a number of
days. This was occasioned by variety of
circumstances. Many of the Rosebud In :
dians fear to leave this agency lest on
their way to their former place they will
be killed by the soldiers Some of them.
however, have already returned, and more
will follow to-day.
The collection of arms is anything but
satisfactory, only 104 guns having been
surrendered up to date. News of the muir
der of Few Tails and four of his band also
tends to influence the Indians here The
shooting is universally condemned as q
cold blooded murder. This morning the In
dams rounded up their ponies and herded
them near their village, while the Indians
themselves hang around the tepees and
silently watch the agency. General Miles
who was annoyed at this, has put off in
definitely the date of his depsrture

siamese Students Coming to Ameriea

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa, Jan. 19.-The
King of Siam will soon send six youths
from his kingdom to Westminster college
in this place to be educated. They are all
to become physicians. The young men are
chosen from among the poorer classes, and
the expense of their tuition, about $500
a year each, is to be borne by the Siamese
government. They will be escorted to
either London or San Francisco by Super
intendent Hays, of the Bangkok hospital.
The Rev. Mr.. Dunlop, of this place, for
fthirteen years Presbyterian missionary
/ IN Siam, will then take charge of the bows
and escort them to college.
The plan of sending young men to Europe
to- be educated has been tried by the
Siamese government but has not been a
success, and Mr.. Dunlop was directed to
arrange for an experiment in America. 1t
was found that the young men sent to
Europe fell into all manner of dissipation.
Usually they were the sons of princes and
had plenty of money. Thus far there have
been four Siamese youths educated in
America. One of these is one studying
theology at the Auburn seminary. The
only Siamese woman who ever attended an
American college is Mr.. Dunlop's adopted
daughter, who is at Oxford, Ohio. She is
| twenty years old.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The intention Of
the Democrats of the House to resort to
obstruction tactics until the determination
of the Senate on the election bill was man.
ifested this morning when Bland demanded
the reading of Saturdays proceedings in
full, instead of in abbreviated form. Then
Mills moved an amendment to the journal
relative to the refusal of the chair to recog-
nize his motion to reconsider the vote by
which Fridays journal was approved.
Cannon inquired whether it was in order
to move the previous question on approval
of the journal.
The speaker, after an examination OF
Mills motion, recognized Cannon. Then
came chorus Of Democratic demands for
the reading of the amendment, which said
the ruling of the speaker is disapproved by
the House.
The speaker, regarding the amendment
as not proper, recognized Cannon's demand.
On standing vote the demand was re-
jected. But the Republicans gathered
their strength and seconded the demand,
yeas, 1870; nays, 103.
Thereupon Springer took the floor and
for some time the House was entertained
by discussion which went on between
himself and Speaker Reed. Springer said
never before the first session of this Con-
gress had motion been denied by the pre-
siding officer. He referred to the remarks
of the speaker in addresses made in New
York during the last campaign about over
turning the precedents of the last hundred
years The verdict of the American peo-
pie had condemned the rules of the speaker,
Speaker Reed had read several decisions
made py Speaker Randall, showing the lat
ter refused to entertain similar appeals.
Mckinley took the floor and said nobody
could deny the motion made by Mills was
purely dilatory, and it was the duty of the
chair to refuse TO entertain the appeal. 1t
was manifest to the country that for the
past six weeks the whole effort of the
Democratic side had been to obstrucs
public buiiness The whole purpose Of
this filibustering was that it should be i'm
possible, if the Senate should pass the
election bill, to pass the bill through the
! House.

when the spring came and the grass was
green they would be sufficiently excited to

Inc declarations OF the commanding gen

been pillaged from end to end.

is displayed to ascertain which of them

regarding it. The Sixteenth infantry of

to leave without unnecessary delay for
their respective posts. 1t is rumored that
