IN SENATE AND HoUs E.
Debate on the Anti,option Bill Begun
in the Upper Body.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The joint reso-
luton for the appointment of commits
sion to make an agreement with the five
civilized Indian tribes for allotments Of
their land in severalty and for opening
the Indian Territory to settlement was
discussed in the senate yesterday, and
then went over without action. Its ref
erence to the commtteeon Indian af-
fairs was advocated by Mr.. Jones, of
Arkansas, and Mr.. Platt, of Connecticut,
the latter Renator taking a rather ad-
vanced position in favor of putting an
end to the existing anomalous condition
of things in the Indian Territory by the
establishment of regular territorial
government there. After that matter
was laid aside the anti-option bill was
taken up, and tho rest of the days ses-
sion was occupied by Mr.. George, of
Mississippi, in advocacy of that bill. No
tice was given by Mr.. Teller that he
would ask the senate to act today on the
presidents message at the close of the
last session, vetoing the bill for the re-
lief of William McGarrigan.
In the house the greater part of the
days session was consumed in the dis
cussion of the bills referring to the
ancient We'll and La-Abra Mexican
awards to the court of claims, to pass
upon the allegations of fraud made in
each case. These were passed, and the
house, without transacting any other
business of public Importance took an
early adjournment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-tieneral Scho-
field said today that he had received no
official news Of the reported CARA out
break on the Mexican border. II was,
however, doubtless true, but not, per-
haps, so serious as reported. This was
the rainy season in New Mexico, and for
that reason bands of marauders could
find grass to feed their horses. A spirit
of unrest seemed TO prevail among the
lawless on the border, and he expected
to hear of foraging bands during the
season. The United Statos troops would.
of course, do all in their power to pre-
vent these Mexicans from crossing over
and remaining on the American side of
the Rio Graude.

decided TO renounce his crown i'm

decision by the unpleasantness caused
between him and his ministers by his
unstable attitude at the time when

Prince Ferdinand to Mile. Vacaresco.
An additional reason has been found in
the incnrablo illness of the queen.
