that the house proceed at the earliest
practicable day during the session to
the consideration of the bill or bills re-
pealing the law authorizing deputy
marshals and supervisors of elections
at the polls.
At the opening of the session this
morning Mr.. Flynn, delegate from
Oklahoma, created mild sensation
10y asking for the immediate considera-
ton of resolution bearing on the out
RACES said to have been committed by
the United States troops at the open
ing Of the Cherokee Strip Saturday
The resolution recited that the press
of the country had for several days
contained accounts of burning vegeta
ton and killing homesteaders by
United States troops in con-
nection with the opening of
the Strip, and called upon the
secretary of war to know by what au-
tbority these troops acted. BY
unanimous consent Mr.. Flynn was
allowed to make a short statement.
He sent to. the clerks desk and had
read accounts of alleged depradations
OF troops, and then in a passionate
way declared that all the regulations
under which the strip was opened
were disgrace to modern civilization
The capstone of the whole infamous
business" he shouted, came wher
the settlers who had stood for hours
in the line furnishing for water were
heartlessly shot down by the mill
tary,"
Mr.. Oates Gala. objected to the pres
ent consideration of the resolution,
and thereupon a struggle to prevent
the report of the Tucker bill repeating
the federal election laws was resumed
For three hours filibustering under
Mr.. Burrows continued. Tucker

ash. When they hoisted the white
: flag and announced the necessity of /;
caucus to whip recreant members int
lime the Republicans signalized tn
victory by cheering wildly.
: The house adjourned and the eau

Senator sherman Renews His Attack

Senator Sherman renewed his attack and re- fused to be convinced even by the Iowa Sena- tor. He wanted the Senate to do the straight forward thing, and not izzle about it.. Give the fair $5,000000 and do not make believe that you are deceiving yourselves by giving a 70-cant silver dollar, or two 35-cent half dol lars" If the children cry for 1t, as the Sen said they did, "Why not give them castoria?'' said Sherman. He knew that 1t was popular thing with the little ones, mere popular he thought than even the souvenir half-d0llars would be. The galleries looked flown with sur prise as these remarks came from Sherman, and Congressmen who entered the chamber lust as Mir sherman utterd them, dropped into the vacant chairs nearest the door.
