SHORT AND UNIMPORTANT.
The House Does Not Transact a Great
Amount of Business.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Although
the proceedings OF the House to-day
were without interest,and would not oc-
cupy more than two or three pages Of
the Record, the probabilities are that
the Record will be a voluminous one.
Mr.. Milliken, of Maine, will publish
the brochure on plymouth Rock 10
Mckinley" which will use up about ten
pages.
Mr.. Doliver, of Iowa, has filed for
publication a series of articles from the
New York Tribune.
Mr.. Smith, OF Illinois, will print (if
he has time TO collate them) a number
OF editorials and letters in the Americdn
EcOnOmtSt, and several other members
on the Republican side will, by printing
extraneous matter, emphasize and bring
into public prominence the action Of the
House Yesterday, which declared in sub
stance that, under leave to print, mem
bers may make OF the Congressional
Record a medium OF advertisement.
Whether in Difference to religious
sentiment, or in Difference to the in
clement weather, number Of members
were absent this morning and when the
Speaker called the House to order at
noon the vacant seats far outnumbered
those which were occupied. The Speak,
er laid before the House the House bill
to promote the safety OF nominal ma
tional banks, with Senate amendments
thereto.
Mr.. Bacon, of New York, in charge
of the measure, not being present re-
quest was made that the bill be per-
mitted to remain upon the Speakers
table, but to this Mr.. Bland, Of Mis-
souri,, objected, and upon HIS motion
the bill was referred to the Committee
on Banking and Currency, which &C
tion, in the opinion of the advocates OF
the measure, means its defeat. Private
business was then proceeded with.
The bill for the relief Of the heirs OF
II. II. Sibley, (the inventor Of the Sib-
ley tent again proved an obstacle to
the transaction of business, and the
whole day was consumed in its consid-
Grafton. No quorum was present and
two roll calls emphasizing this fact, the
House took u recess until o'clock-the
evening session to be for the consider
alton OF private pension bills.

Bingham Peurose, the cattle bandits fu-
Citiye surgeon. who was captured by ON
GERS Yesterday. as ne was fleeing south, is
securely locked in cell in the county Jail.
He is an aristocratic looking man, about
35 wears old. A card found on him gives

He is heart broken over his arrest and in
carceration, and the knowledge that be is
10 be taken back to Johnson county and
tried for conspiracy and murder.
He claims that he deserted the murder
Gus band of cattle men before their first
killing. but the officers here think that he
is living about it. He represents that his
parents are wealty people OF Philadelphia
and he is fearful lest they will learn OF the
FIX he is in. He says there were hfty-two
persons in the gang after they left Casper
but subsequently deserted when they
learned that it was an expedition bent
solely on murder.
The doctor, proposes 70 make clean
breast OF the whole affair 70 the authori-
ties of Johnson county and testify fully

IT SILL GOES ON.
The Investigation of Raum and His Pen
sion Bureau Unfinished.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 15.-As-
sistant Secretary Bussey, Of the Interior
Department, testified before the Pen
sion Office Investigating Committee TO-
day that he had recently received a let
ter from an attorney stating that James
Dugan, acting as clerk to Representative
Hallowell, of Pennsylvania, had offered
TO furnish information similar TO that
furnished by Heresey. He had sent the
letter to the Commissioner. Mr.. Bussey
contradicted statements made by Green
B. Raum, Jr., yesterday rejecting on
the character Of James Engle, a Pension
Office clerk who had brought charges
against him.
w. Z. Stieff, pension Office clerk,
testified that he and other pension office
clerks were specially assigned to attend
to the calls made by Mr.. Dunbar, Mr..
Cooper's Congressional competitor.
Red Durnan, chief Of the western di-
vision Of the pension Office, testified
that his division answered about seven
ty-fye of Mr.. Dunbar's calls, and some
15O or 200 remained unanswered. The
instructions were to answer all that
could be answered by tuesday oeIore
the election-the inference of course be-
ing that if calls could not be answered
by that time it would be no good.
Mr.. McCulloHhn, another clerk, testi-
fed that he was discharged by the COM
missioner, who wrote that he did not
know that witness was furnishing in
formation TO George B. Fleming, but
the fact that witness associated with
Fleming was sufficient for his dis
charge. He was reinstated after de-
claring that he had furnished no infor-
nation to Fleming. He worked on
cases under the completed files system.
Mr.. Lemon at first had most Of the
cases. subsequently Milo b. Stevens,
who had offices in Washington, Cleve-
land, Chicago and Detroit, had more
cases than any one else.

CHEYENNE AND ARAPAHOE LANDS.

The Excitement Over the Opening Subsld-
ing Very Muoh-Very Little Cash in the
Party.
ELRENo, o. T., April 15.-The ex-
element over the Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe lands is quieting down, due princi-
pally to the fact that new arrivals are
materially decreasing. Many OF the
boomers, even those who have horses
and wagons, do not seem to have any
cash, though most of them have flour
and bacon.
Hundreds realize that they are not in
condition to hold down a claim and
have no intention OF doing so. They
hope 10 secure a good piece Of land and
then sell out to some one within two or
three days. II they cannot do this, they
will be reduced almost to starvation.
There are perphaps $1,000 people
ready TO go in from the
east, and 1000 or 5000 in the Washita
country while about 5000 Texans are
drawn up along the south line. There
are not many people on the west line.
On the north line, about ten miles east
OF Cantoument, there are 1,5OO people
from western Kansas camped in one
bunch.

EMPRESS TRAIN ROBBERY,
The Engineer aud Fireman Compelled

Taken.

The Engineer and Fireman Compelled
to do the Robbers Bidding--ss.oOo
Taken.
New ORLEANS, La, April l5.-The
Times Democrats McComb City special
gives the following particulars OF the
Illinois Central train robbery. The
Illinois Central No. was held up and
the express car robbed between Arcola
and Pangpoha about 9 o'clock Wednes-
day night by five armed and masked
men. One man got aboard Of the en-
CINE at Hagmond, held up the engineer
and fireman and told them TO do as they
were ordered.
The train went on side track at lnde-
pendence TO meet another train. Soon
after leaving Arcoia the man on the en-
CINE ordered the engineer TO stop. Sew
eral men were awaiting the train at
this point; then the masked men forced
the engineer and fireman 10 go to the
express car and order the messenger TO
open the doors. The messenger did
not do so, and entrance was effected
from the side OF the car.
The messenger put in the stove sew
eral valuable packages and MADE MS es-
cape. The robbers kept every one in
side OF the coach and sleepers until
their work was completed. Neither
the passengers nor mails were dis
turbed. After the hlghwaymen were
through with the robbery they made
the engineer cover his headlight and
back down about 200 yards when they
ordered him TO go ahead. No one on
the train can give a good description OF
the robbers. They were apparently
young men, two OF them had full boards
and all were very poorly dressed. On
entering the car they assaulted the bag
gage-master by striking him on the
side Of the head with a revolver, saying
he was with the expressman and that
he had the money. He pleaded with
them and they did not harm him any
more. About 81, 600 was taken. Every
effort is being made TO catch the rob-
ber5.

TWO VESSELS SEIZED
BY the Insurgents of VeneZuela-Prospects
OF their Ultimate success

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Herald
has cable news from Venezuela TO the
effect that word has just been received
at Caracas OF the capture by the revo'
utlonists OF two government vessels,
which were loaded with arms and mu-
nitions OF war for the government
forces.
This is regarded by General Crespo's
followers as a great stroke OF good luck,
as arms and ammunition are what the
insurgents have been so anxious to Sc
cure. The insurgents now consider
that they have gained a decided advan-
tage, and it is said that they will soon
begin their march toward this city.
Shortly after the capture OF the gov
ernmeut vessels the revolutionists were
further rejoiced TO learn that In two
skirmishes with Palaces troops their
advance guard had won decided victo-
ries.
