Both the vice-president and president
pro tenn being absent the chair was occu-
pied by Harris. who laid before the senate
a special message from the president on the
subject of the claims of the Wichitas and
affiliated tribes of Indians in Oklahoma
Territory. 1t was referred to the commit
tee on Indian affairs.
Dawes introduced a bill to punish in
truders on the lands of either of the five
civilized tribes in the Indian Territory. Re-
ferred to the committee on Indian affairs.
Frye introduced bill to amend the law
relating to shipping commissioners, sea-
men, owners of vessels and other parties
drafted by committee of seamen sailing
before the mast on the Pacific coast. Re-
ferred.
A conference was ordered on the census
deficiency bill. and Messrs. Hale, Allison
and Cockrell were appointed conferees on
the part of the senate.
A Joint resolution to provide for inter
national bi-metallic agreement having been
reached on the calendar, it was, on motion
of Mr.. Sherman laid over without action.
Consideration of the Idaho election case
was resumed, and Mr.. Vance, of the minor
lty of the committee, continued his argu-
ment begun yesterday in support of the
claim of Mr.. Claggett
At the close Of his speech the conference
report on the census deficiency bill was

the contestant, presented to the senate by
Stuart and recognized by the presiding officer
as entitled under Yesterdays resolution) to
address the senate for two hours. Mr..
Claggeta took 4 stand at Hale'S desk and
slowly, distinctly and in clear, musical
tone of voice began his speech. So much of
his time was occupied in listening to and
replying to questions the limit of time,
on motion of Vance, was withdrawn,
and he was permitted 10 speak without
any time of limitation.
His argument appeared to interest the
senators very much and they listened to it
doth sides of the chamber) with
very close attention. After he had
spoken about two hours. but
without finishing his speech, Claggett
yielded the floor, and the Idaho case went
over without action.

DALLAS, TEX, Feb. 20 Judge Clark Of

from his friends and supporters. He was
in one of his happiest moods and received
his visitors with cordial hand-shake and
q pleasant word The rotunda OF the
Grand Windsor has been filed all day with
his admirers and callers. Some could be
heard swearing fealty to the judge and ex-
pressing themselves in more forcible than
elegant language-as against Governor
Hogg. He seems conscious OF being in his
stronghold here IN Dallas, and chatted
freely with those who came on nearly
everything except the canvass, and no
doubt goes from Dallas with the strong
conviction that he can depend on her. TEE

of the bar were in to see him
and extend their welcome-Seth Shepard

termined When he prepared TO take the

Special to the Gazette
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-There was suf-
ficient strength on the part OF the free sill
yer men in the house caucus last night to
have declared in favor of the Bland bill but
they did not press matters that far. They
were satisfied to adjourn and leave the
status undisturbed, confident in their ability
to force the consideration OF the bill at the
proper time. The most significant feature
of the caucus was the bold declaration Of
Congressman Fowler of New Jersey that
his state was in favor of free silver, and
that it could be easily carried on such
platform, thereby giving the lie to the oft
repeated cry Of gold bugs that no Eastern
state favors placing silver and gold on an
equal basis.
Despite the persistent attacks of such
men as Harter of Ohio, the silver phalanx
in the house is standing steadfast and there
will be no retreat on their part. The Bland
bill will be considered early in April, and
there is not the shadow of doubt of its
passage; even the anti-silver men admit
this, though they will resort to all sorts of
tactics, including flibusteriLg, to prevent
the bill from passage.

C. W. Stone of Pennsylvania IN support of
the CLAIMS of the sitting member.
The Democrats increased their majority
in the house by one to-day This addition
to the already overwhelming Democratic
majority was by no means necessary to in
sure freer working Of the party
organization, but Andrew Stewart of
the Twenty-fourth Pennsylvania
district was unseated and Al
exander 4. Craig, Democrat,
contestant declared the regularly elected
representative. Although two DAYS de-
bate was required to bring about this re-
suit party lines were not at all closely
drawn, and Stewart at least derives
satisfaction from the fact that
certain Democrats are among
those who maintained his right
to represent the Twenty-fourth district.
Arguments for the most part were quits
monotOnouS. The first vote was on the
minority resolution confirming the right of
Stewart to the seat, and it was defeated.

The majority resolution seating Craig was

LAGRANGE, FAYETTE COUNTY, TEX, Feb.
26.-The hogg and Cook faction of the
Democratic party in this county have COM
promised their differences, and have shaken
hands across the bloody chasm.
There are no determinations or
determinations. 1t is agreed that
bygones shall be bygones. Following is a
literal copy of the agreement as signed by
the chairman of each faction IN order 10
adjust and settle the differences in
the two wings of the Demo-
Gratis of Fayette county: 1t is
agreed by and between W. II. Ledbetter,
representing one wing, and John Lane,
representing the other wing of the Demo-
Gratis of F'ayette county, that they join in
call of Democrats to meet in convention in
each county and primary to meet at
the same place and on the same day. The
time is agreed upon in the future, and that
the Democrats send up delegates to the
county convention from the joint primary
conventions to transact the bust
ness in rsai6 county convention
for the whole Democrats of
both counties, without reference to the past
differences, so that they can present solid
front TO their enemies IL the future. They
are signed, n. j. Lanier, chairman of the
Democratic executive committee of Fayette
county, and w. H. Ledbetter, chairman Of
the Democratic executive committee.
Both parties are glad that the breach is
healed, and that the old ship of Zion will
start TO ride the waves.

The free coinage men of the house feel
elated to-day over the action last night of
the caucus refusing to consider any propo-
sition for delay of free coinage legislation.
Although the action of the caucus,
in so far as results are concerned,
may be termed 4 draw, the failure of
Harker and other pronounced opponents of
free coinage to secure any considerable
support for the proposition for postpone
ment is great Icomfort to Bland
and his free silver colleagues in the
house. Bland, Pierce of Tennessee,
and other leaders of free coinage IN the
house are compiling and arranging petit
tions to be presented tomorrow to the com
mittee on rules, asking for 4 day to be set
for consideration of the free coinage bill.
These petitions have been freely circulated
on the Democratic side and contain the sig
natures of all friends of free coinage.
