FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.
Discussion Oh Their Repeal to Begin
To-mOrrOM.

Discussion Oh Their Repeal to Begin
Tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-Though bill
to repeal the Federal election laws is to
be presented tomorrow in the House, it
is not probable that debate on the meas
ure will begin before Friday. How long
the discussion will last is unsettled. The
Republicans say it will last at least a
month. Tucker of Virginia, who has
the bill in charge. says there will be no
limit placed upon speeches in the line of
legitimate discussion, but as soon as it is
apparent tlaj the minority is filibuster-
ing, the Committee on Rules will be in
voked for an order which shall compel
vote
good deal of opposition is manifested
even on The Democratic side to the pres
ent consideration OF the proposition to
repeal the Federal election laws. 1t is
claimed 1t VIII detract attention from the
Senate, and in this way, as we'll as by
angerlng the Republicans, endanger the
cause OF repeal.
The answer of the Southern Democrats
to this Is brief but to the point. They
say they have already sacrificed their
opinions on silver to. the position of the
Administration, aud cannot go back to
their constituents unless something is
done directly desired by their section.
Apart from this there Is a general de-
sire on the part OF the Democratic leaders
10 have some question brought forward
upon which political lines can be visibly
drawn. They pcu.u out that the Demo-
cratic party is not unit upon silver or
the State bank tax, or the income tax.
and there are differences of opinion as TO
the extent to which tariff revision should
go.
On the question of the abolition of the
Federal forces at the polls there is no di-
vision Of sentiment. The leading Demo-
Gratis are unanimous in the hope that
there Will be a very lively political fight
on the repeal of the election laws. 1t has
been so long since there has been genu-
ine political fight in the House that it
will be welcomed, not only by the Demo
Gratis but by the Republicans.
The exact programme which the Re
publIcans will follow in their opposition
To the rereal of the Federal election laws
has not y u been made known. AS a mat
ter of TACT the secrecy being observed is
not without purpose, the minority be-
ing afraid of disclosing their plan of cam
paign to the enemy. All that they will
say is u repeat their determination to
fight until they can no longer hold out.
The debate, as already indicated. prom
lses 10 be very bitter.

ARKANSAS CITY, Sept. 13.-One hum
dred degrees of heat in the shade, the air
filled with sulocating dust. and hot
winds blowing across the parched prairie
were severe conditions that the boomers
along the Cherokee line were forced to
endure to-day. At this place over fifty
were overcome by the heat. most of them
being in line before the registration
booths. Six have died and others are in
a critical condition. At Caldwell thirty
two were sunstruck, two of whom are
dying. At Orlando there We're twenty
two sunstrokes and two deaths, and at
Hennessey eighteen strokes and one
death. The indications are that to-mor-
row will be repetition Of to-day.
The crush at the registration booths
has become SO great that from now on
they will be kept open day and night.
During the three days ending tonight
A., 800 certificates were issued. The total
number OF certificates does not indicate
the number Of homeseek ers, for most Of
the boomers take out certificates for both
homestead and town lots. The Santa Fe
brought in siXty-tive carloads of people
to-day. The majority come simply to see
the fun.
At Orlando to-day soldiers brought
tiftythree ''sooners" into camp, and
more are reported to be concealed along
the streams in the forbidden land. The
boomers, in order to get rid of specu-
lators. will not permit anyone in the line
to sell his place. In consequence, the line
thinned out materially to-day and is now
composed wholly Of bona fide home-seelz-
ers.
The Rock Island took 5000 people into
Caldwell to-day, and many more are
coming tomorrow.
The Young Peoples Society of Christ
ian Endeavor has undertaken to relieve
the suffering caused by lack of water.
The Leavenworth society has pledged
money to pay the expense of hauling
water from Arkansas City to the booths,
and three water carts were put into serv-
ice to-day.

ROME, Sept. 13.-The Italian Govern
ment has received dispatch from Rio
Janeiro, dated yesterday, saying Admiral
Demalloss has informed the representa-
tives of the foreign Powers at Rio that
the vessels of the insurgent squadron
would soon open fire on the city's de-
fenses. The forts in the bay will be first
attacked separately, it is believed, and
upon the result of this bombardment the
future movements of the rebels will be
decided.
In consequence of this announcement
arrangements were made to send the for
eign warships and merchant vessels at
Rio to positions outside the line of the
fire. The British gunboat left the bay
early this morning to warn all incoming
vessels to stay Oft the coast until the re-
suit of the bonn bardment was learned.
Much anxiety was felt in Rio as to the
fate of the city in the event of the success
OF the rebels, for in spite Of dispatches
sent to the Government there are doubts
as to the loyalty of the forts in the bay.
1t is asserted the garrisons will exchange
a few shots, haul down the colors and
JOIN the rebels. The Government, how
ever, seems confident of the garrison's
loyalty and that of the troops in the city,
even IL the forts surrender.
The successful manner in which the
Governments police and troops repulsed
the two previous attacks upon Nictheroy
Is cited as evidence that the rebels will
meet with a warm reception on all sides.
There are people, however, who doubt
the truth OF the engagement between the
rebels and the Governments defenders,
and remind the people the report came
from the Government.
The rebels are not having an opportu-
nifty OF communicating their version Of
the affair to the outside world. In fact, it
Is lntimated the reported attempts to land
were little more than communications be-
tween the rebel ships and the shore, by
which the ships are supplied with news,
provisions and recruits. This, of course,
IS only rumor, but it seems worthy OF
consideration. That the rebels have
large number of sympathizers in Rio is
fact admitted even by the Government,
Tor they give that as an excuse for sus-
pending telegraphIc communication.
NEWS CONFIRMED.

Associated Press from London and Paris

Everett's Bill Extending the Time for
Registration.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The House
Committee on Foreign Affairs met this
morning to consider the Chinese exclu-
sion matter. Chairman McCreary laid
before the committee the bill introduced
by Everett of Massachusetts, and which
is understood to be an administration
measure, and suggested that inasmuch as
several amendments We're deemed advis-
bic, it had better be referred to a SUBJ
committee. After some discussion this
action was decided upon and the bill was
referred TO Subcommittee, consisting
OF Chairman McCreary and Everett Hit
and Harmer. The subcommittee will
meet Thursday.
The Everett bill simply provides for an
extension of the time for registration to
one year. 1t is probable the sub-com-
mIttee Will reduce the time to six months
and as there is also some question about
what constitutes Chinese laborer'' that
term will be specifically defined Other
amendments will look to the perfection
OF the bill ana will not affect Its import.

1891. Last night at a conference held at
the residence of Secretary Carlisle, at
which, in addition TO the Secretary OF the
Treasury, there were present Secretary
Gresham, Attorney Olney and
Representative Geary OF California,
members of the administration expressed
the opinion that the bill ought to be passed
through both houses at once, and an in
tention manifested of insisting upon 90
ing ahead with the bill to-day in the
House. Geary, however, pointed out
the radical defects of the bill, which
would render its effects nugatory. He
also declared that the extension of time
OF registering should be reduced to six
months; that the term Chinese la
borer" should be specifically defined, and
the Imprisonment clause be modified
lie also wanted a provision inserted for
photographing all Chinese who registered.
1t was finally decided to agree to the
modlncatons, and accordingly to-day
the bill was referred by the Foreign At
fairs Committee to q subcommittee that
Will meet tomorrow night.
To-day it developed that Cleveland
nlmselt Is not anxious to press the bill,
for fear that it Will complicate matters in
the Senate. In fact, he is in favor of the
House folding its hands and doing moth
ing until the Senate acts on the Sherman

several days with reference to the Tucker
