For the first time this session the housa
met this morning with a code of rules TO
govern its procedure, but owing TO the
driving snow storm which visited Washing
ton to-day, the attendance of mem bers was
small. Speaker Crisp, who only occupied
the chair yesterday for brief period,
called the house to order this morning
Crisp was very hoarse and his voice was
scarcely audible and to one of the reading
clerks was delegated the duty of calling
committees for reports. Finally Crisp left
the char and yielded the gavel to Nc
MILAN of Tennessee
Fithiap of Illinois sent to the speaker for
reference a bill placing farm implements
upon the free list. He wished to have the
bill printed in the Record, but the speaker
declined to recognize him, and several re-
ports were made from committees and
placed upon the appropriate calendars.
The house considering the census Get-
cheney bill in committee of the whole,
Savers of Texas, in charge of the bill,
made an explanation as to its provisions
and brought a charge Of extravaganza
against the administration of the census
bureau. Hundreds of men and women. who
never ought to have been, were employed
congress. Had the superintendent of the
census bureau been left to operate the
bereau without pressure from the outside,
to put in Office large number of iucompe-
tent persons, expenditures would have been
very much less.
Henderson Of Iowa contended the Office
had been economically administered.
Sayers said he believed a committee
should be appointed to investigate the ad-
ministration of the office. Such an investi-
cation would justify him in the statement
as to extravaganza Of the bureau. After
further debate pro and con, Sayers OF
Texas offered an amendment approDriating
nbcic Of ba In
dams and calling upon the secretary Of the
interior TO report to the house the names OF
all employees under the direction and super
vision of the Indian bureau. The latter
clause OF the amendment was the first gen.
eral legislation to be incorporated upon an
appropriation bill, but no objection being
made, the amendment was adopted.
The committee having arisen, the bill
passed.

The Peopla,s Party.

WASHINGTON, Feb 4-The Peoples
party of the house is intact as q political
organization and united as to party
measures, which IL is 10 present to the two
houses of the F'ifty-second congress.
Within the past few days various reports
Of alleged dissension in the ranks of
the nine Peoples representatives have been
current and the third party, in answer to
these insldious rumors, has issued an ad-
dress to the country, stating:
AT no meeting of Alliance members
Of congress was any motion or sug-
gestion made that they should
join the Democratic party or cast
their lot with it. y disagreement occurred
because certain ones of the Alliance con-
gressmen thought the contest should be
made through the old parties, and others
thought independent political action neces-
sary. There has been no split
among the Peoples party representa-
tives. We are as united now as
we were at the opening of congress. We
each believe independent political action
necessary. The only dissension that come
among the Alliance members came when
we had conferences with congressman who
adhere to the old party lines.'
MIR. Watson of Georgia is generally &c
cepted as the leader Of the independent rep
resentatives in the house and this evening
declared the reports of the past few days
were but the articles of the enemy, in
tended to injure the Peoples party move-
ment all over the country.

Anarchists of America.

1.-THE short seller is to-day the anarchist
Of America" said John Whitaker, large
pork packer Of St Louis and Wichita,
Kan, to-day in an address to the house
committee on agriculture in advocacy Of
the anti-option bill
Whitaker said the wheat exported this
year probably averaged in price % cents
bushel. and if this proposed law
had been in effect it would
bave brought more than 81 a busheL
He did not believe it would hurt the owners
of real grain or provisions because If
fictitious offerings were done away
with the market would be supplied
with actual grain or provisions and
there being a smaller quantity offered
prices would be better. In New York 1t
was regarded necessary to sell 5000, 600
bushels of grain to market three or four
million We produce no coffee and for that
reason he believed in options selling in
coffee That gave the American citizen
cheaper coffee, as it era bled the price TO

WASHINGTON, Feb. At is conceded here
that Governor Hill can have the Democratic
nomination, and many congressman think
his nomination affords the only chance for
the party TO win. On the other hand, they
cannot get him to agree to say that he
would accept the nomination, or that he
thinks it is the only or best nomination to
be made To an intimate friend he remarked
the other day: There is no hurry about
this nomination; let US look around little
and plan the battle first so we can win
with any man. 1t is more important to get
the party in good fighting trim and on a
vantage ground than anything else. The
record this congress makes will have Il
great deal to do with the desirability of the
nomination. While deeply appreciate the
thousands of testimonials of friendship and
support that 1 am receiving from all sec
tons of our common country, yet it is better
10 look more to the plan of battle"
There is no Cleveland talk here, and very
little mention of any particular Western
man; perhaps Boies and Gray are men,
toned oftener than any others from that
section, but neither as often as Senator
German. Since the Gillian affair the Re-
publicans are getting very nervous about
Harrisou's nomination, as they are fearful
OF disclosures during the campaign. Sport
ing men are betting on Blaine for the Re
publican nomination and Hill for the Demo
cratic nomination.

ROBERT LAD.
IT'S GUIDE Plaid and AfIckIe GUIDE May
COON of Wearing 1t in the Storm-A
Scotch Wood-Chopper's Fortune.
Special to the Gazette.

ATCHIsoN, KAN, Feb. 1.-THE recent
cold snap has proved blessing in disguise
to Robert Dawning, sturdy Scotchman,
who owns a small but well-cultivated farm
five miles southwest of this city. When
the blizzard struck this section, Dawning,
who is hauling cord wood 70 town, ransacked
an old chest brought with him from the
North of Scotland in the search for cloth
ing that would defy the bitter blasts. A
coat of antique Scotch plaid which had
been given him by miser uncle years ago,
and which had long ago been forgotten, was
rescued from the depths Of the moth-eaten
chest.
Several days ago as he took OF the coat
for the evening he noticed soiled and
time-worn package fall from cavernous in
ner pocket. Picking it up, the wood
chopper was astonished to find that it con-
tanned a yellow, somewhat ragged, but
genuine bank Of England note for el000.
He came into town, deposited his treas
ure in the bank and told his story. which
was corroboRated by his wife. He will re-
ceive his $780, less the commission, in a
few days. Dawning tells an interesting
story Of the old coat which contained the
hidden treasure.

CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 5.-The Herald. which
has always been a warm supporter of Mr..
Cleveland, says of the last move towards a
bolt in New York in his behalf:
The protest of the mugwumps and doubt
full Democrats in New York against an
early convention is a senseless howl. It is,
doubtless, the voice Of disappointment at
the condition of sentiment there, rather
than q manly opposition to unfair methods.
The claim that an early convention has
been called for the deliberate purpose of
taking snap judgment against Grover
Cleveland and his friends is absurd. How
is it possible to catch mapping man whose
candidacy for a presidential nomination has
existed for three years and longer2 During
that time Mr.. Cleveland has been, so far as
the persistent pushing of his friends could
make him. an active and avowed candidate,
to say nothing OF his own significant ac-
tions. In what way, then, can he or his
friends be surprised by holding the conven-
ton early or late2 They have, to all ap-
Strength at any time. If they have not
been and are not now ready, what have
they to gain or to hope for by delay2
The truth appears to be that the element
which frantically opposes the will of the
party organization in New York is COM
posed largely of one-man Democrats. They
will vote the Democratic ticket if Mr..
SlSNSldnu uSduS II, anu OthlSS luSy VIII
not support it. Protests from such sources
avail little. The Democratic party is
neither one-man nor q one idea party. 1t
has an abundance of leaders, and its code of
principles embraces every sound doctrine
of popular government. If the one-man
Democrats are not willing to abide by the
action of the combined wisdom of the party
they have no place in Democratic councils.
At this distance they would present a more
inspiring and pleasing spectacle if they
would expend the force now being wasted
in useless protests by devoting it to earnest
efforts to select delegates of their choice.

the Matter.

MAKES DEMOCRATS TIRED,
The Third Party.

A prominent third party Alliance man
remarked yesterday TO reporter OF LEE
GAZETTE:
"Politics in Texas are muddled as they
are all over the country. There is large
element in the Alliance that want to organ
ize and push third party organization
here in Texas and elsewhere. The element
has the backing of the labor organizations
An effort is being made to have the Alliance
fight this fall under Democratic colors, but
II won't work to any extent, and the St
Louis meeting will knock all this maSq uer-
aiding politics in the head. WHAT we did in
Fort Worth VIII be done all over the coun-
try, and we will fight under our own colors
and not be the tail to the kite of a Demo-
cratic faction. The Dallas convention will
not attempt to bind the Alliance member
ship to supper: n Democratic faction known
to be corporate in all its aims and tenden-
cies and opposed to financial reform. If
such an attempt is made, two-thirdS of the
Alliance membership in Texas will join the
third party movement. The Abolitiouists
tried for years to settle the salary question
through the Wing and Republican pa, ties,
then had to organize a party of
their own to carry out the reform.
Those in favor of financial reform know
that it is useless to play any longer with
old political organizations. II the Dallas
meeting makes deal with either Demo-
will not abide by it. The out and out Dem
ocratic element in the Alliance will not go
with US now, but will drift into the third
party next year, or out of the Alliance at
any rate. If any of the Alliance leaders or
paper, commit themselves against railroad
regulation, silver co mage, OF alien land law,
there will be war in the camp and our third
party movement will gain strength. 1t has
got to come to fight under third party
leadership, and the laborers and producers
are finding this out very fast. The St.
Louis meeting will fix platform leadership
and organization, and in Texas we will fight
the Hogg, the Clark and the Quincy party,
and do the same thing all over the United
States just as we have done in Kansas.
Whatever the Alliance may do, the labor
ers and producers have hoisted their own
flag, and we have no deal to make with any
body. The GAZETTE should have repre-
sentative at st. Louis for there will begin
a hot and successful fight against both old
parties. Our party has no money, but it
has principles and grit and q great deal at
stake, as the masses are oppressed by high
taxes, scarce money and class legislation.

"MY CHILD, MY CHILD, !"
SCREAMED THE MOTHER, AS AN
EAGLE CARRIED AWAY
Her Boy-A Thrilling Experience of 9
Party of Tourists In New Mexico-A-
most Miraculous Release.
Special to the Gazette.

RAToN, n. M, Feb. Ga party of tour
lists witnessed strange sight near this
place few days ago. Late in the after
noon, while going by q little house near the
road, they heard the frantic screams OF a
woman. Several OF the men ran to the
house and found her standing in a side
door screaming, "AIy child my childW
and pointing 10 an clubhouse, on top OF
which sat a big bald eagle with child
about one year old in its talons. Before
any of the party could shoot the bird the
noise had frightened him and, picking up
the child, he tapped his enormous wings
and started away. The weight of the child,
however, was almost too much and 1t
seemed impossible for him to rise more than
fifty feet above the ground. A Mr.. Roberts
in the party had rife, but feared to shoot,
knowing that If the bird was killed the
boy would fail to the ground and be dashed
to pieces.
The half-crazed mother and the party of
tourists, wild with excitement, ran along
keeping as near the eagle as possible. AT
last the mother implored Mr.. Roberts TO
shoot the bird. Thinking the boys
death was almost certainty in any event,
Mr. Roberts took careful aim and fired.
The eagle gave scream and began beating
the air yiciouslY with one wing, while the
other hung useless by his side. The bullet
had evidently broken the left wing. 1t was
almost minute before the strength of the
bird gave out and 1t began to fall, still
holding the boy in its talons. 1t came down
slowly circling about, lower and lower each
time and at last reached the ground. The
mother rushed at her child but the eagle
began to fight with beak and wing and it
was not until it had been killed with the
butt Of the rife that the child was released.
The talons OF the eagle had gotten well
tied up in its clothes, and this had saved
the boy's life. He was black and blue III
many places, from being beaten by the
eagles wing, but was not otherwise hurt
The mothers JOY was something indescriD-
able. She told the tourists that the eagle
had been about the house for a long time,
and had almost become pet. 1t had seemed
to oe much attached to dog owned by her
husband, and spent much of its time near
the dogs kennel. a few weeks before, the
dog had shown symptoms of madness, and
had been shot. Since then the eagle had
seemed very vicious. Two days before it
had taken the child, 1t had gone away, and
had not been seen until the mother, at
tracted by the cries of her child, ran to the
door and saw it perched upon the barn, with
the baby in its claws.

Fithlan,s Resolution.

The first attempt to enlarge the scope OF
the Democratic policy OF the ways and
means committee came to-day
in the form of resolution
introduced by Fithian Of Illinois, directing
the wsys and means committee to report a
bill placing all kinds of agricultural i'm
plIments upon the free list. Fithian
thinks the proposition should have she sup
port of every Democratic representative
from the agricultural districts, and has
already received assurance of support from
Watson and his colleagues in the house.
Said Eithlan: "A. B. F'arquhar, the i'm
plement manufacturer, has admitted what
has often been asserted by Democrats, that
Americau-made implements are sold to
foreigners cheaper than to our farm
ers. He says that we receive
the prices current in the markets
in which we sell We can't get more and
could not be expected to take less.
If 1t is true. as Farquhar asserts, that
implements made here are sold for less to
foreign firms than TO our own farmers,
does it not demonstrate that our manu-
features of implements are not in need OF
projections"
In regard to the resolution Of Fithian,
Watson said: Il think it is a proposition
that will have the support OF the Peoples
party representatives if reported from the
committee. We would favor this PROPOSE
tom
Chairman Springer of the ways and
means committee was not prepared to say
his committee would receive favorably
Fithian's resolution. He said it would not
do to put finished products on the free list
and leave raw materials subject to 4 tax.

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, Feb. 4-The plans laid by
the Clark anti-commission gathering here
Monday are gradually coming to light. The
word is passed around in political circles
with considerable semblance of reliability
that the plan decided upon is for the anti
sub-treasury Alliance to call upon MIR. Clark
to run for governor at their meeting TO be
held here on the 10th inst. The secret con-
clave did not make public their selection
because nearly every member OF 1t was
known to be opposed TO the commission.
They were known as a body of political
lawyers and they selected man opposed to
the commission, railroad lawyer, ma
tional bank advocate and an opponent to
free silver coinage. These facts were too
patent to be concealed, and to counterfeit
their damaging effects as far IS possible
they decided to seek the Alliance meeting
as an instrument to make the call. 1t Is be-
lieved that this plan will work unless the
delegates TO that convention revolt from
the leadership of those who are supposed to
be steering the meeting. 1t is possible that
they will refuse to be handled for such .
purpose.
Interest is now centering on the move
ments of that faction which has declared
war upon both Governor Hogg and Mr.
Clark. They are canvassing the field for q
leader and 1t is thought he Will be located
somewhere IN North Texas: more than
likely the Panhandle viii furnish the man.
Something in this direction is expected to
develop very soon. This faction will con-
tend for a railway commission elected by
the people, and they will do some cam
paigning on the line Of showing up the true
inward anti-commiSsion spirit OF their
friends, the enemy. They are going to
make an independent and stubborn fight,
but as between the administration and the
Windsor hotel crowd they are less embit-
tered against the former. They expect to
draw from the Grange and Alliance aud the
independent class of agriculturists who are
without membership in either order and
who do not agree with the position OF the
administration.
It is predicted by some prominent Al
lance men that in case an effort is made to
deliver the meeting of February 10 to the
Clark crowd, another split In Alliance
ranks will be sure to follow, because the
rank and file viii not accept Mr.. Clark S

A significant fact bearing either upon
Blaine's health or his relations with the
president, comes to the surface to-day in
the discovery that the government side Of
the approaching negotiations with Great
Britain on the Behring sea question
has been placed in the hands
of John W. Foster of Indiana, former
minister to Spain and a personal friend Of
the president. The reason given is that
Blaine's health is insufficient, but by some
it is looked upon as another evidence of
dissatisfaction Of Blaine's course on the
part of the president. The fact that Blaine
is thoroughly conversant with this subject
makes the action of President Harrison
more significant.
