BILE interest In the matter, but in advance
of legal presentation OF the case, he was
not willing to indicate what action he
would take. The present movement Is
based upon facts developed by recent ac-
cursations In the House OF Commons
against Inspector Black, who was chiefly
instrumental In securing the conviction
of the sh-Americans, especially DIR.
Gallagher now in British prisons. In

Against Legislation to Close the
Worlds Fair on Sunday--The Choc-
taws and Chickasawa

WARRINGTON, May 6.--After the refer
ence of few Senate bills, the House
went into committee of the whole on
the river and harbor appropriation bill.
On motion Of Mr.. Reed Of Maine, the
appropriation for the improvement OF
the Harrasackett river, Maine, was IN
creased from &c, 900 to $4,000.
The committee then made rapid pro-
gress with the bill. Without disposing
of the bill the committee rose and the
House adjourned.
In the Senate Vice. President Morton
announced that he had signed the amend
ed House Chinese exclusion bill, which
now goes back to the House and thence
to the President for his Approval.
In presenting a remonstrance from
East Hardwich, Vermont, against lesis-
lation to close the Worlds Fair on Sun
days, Mr.. Morrill, remarked that IL it
were so closed 1t would deprive the work.
ing classes of any reasonable opportunity
to visit the exhibition.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Jones of
Arkansas, for the payment to the Chock-
taws and Chickasaws for their interests

tion NEARLY three million dolIars) was
taken up and Mr.. Platt addressed the

had no right to the lands for which they
claimed payment; and that even II they
had, the claim had been swelled beyond
anything which law or justice, or even
decency allowed.
The law, he said, punished by fine and
imprisonment any lawyer who charged a
pensioner over q for his services; but
here was proposition to allow s56O0O0 to
be paid to three attorneys for presenting
TO Congress the claim OF these Indians,
and there was little doubt that the Sen
ate would concur with its Indian COM
mittee in favor of the claim, although
there had been occasions when the Sen
ate would have condemed such contracts
with attorneys. He concluded with the
remark that when, in the future an addi-
tional claim of six millions would be
presented there would be In the Con-
gressional record such q statement, that
another Senate need not act in igno-
rance.
Mr.. Dawes, chairman OF the Indian
committee, took the floor to reply to Mr..
Platt's speech, but as he did not desire to
weary himself, and the Senate at so late
an hour, IL was agreed that the resolution
should be taken up again today and the
vote upon 1t taken at o'clock on Mon
day.
The Senate, after an executive session
adjourned.

The Peoples Party Losing Ground.

The Chicago News in speaking of the
future prospects in regard to the third
party movement says: Under the
influence of a temporary tidal wave Of
radicalism in the west and south the
purely educational features of the
alliance movement were overshadowed.
But it is noticeable that various
alliance papers are already predicting
a prompt reaction. Those who have
struggled to prevent the alliance from
falling into the hands of extremists
are apparently convinced that the sub
treasury, government ownership Of
railroads and other fads will expend
themselves before November, and that
the great bulk OF the farmers will be
found voting for one or the other Of
the old parties.
But even though voting largely on
established party lines, there can be no
doubt that the really independent
vote-the vote that discards real par
tisanship for an intelligent stand on
the issues of the day-will be larger
this year than ever before"
