THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL.
Lively Little Time in the House Yes.
terday.

Lively Little Time in the House Yes
terday.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-In the House,
the debate on the Tucker bill, repeating
the federal election laws, was resumed.
Lacey, of Iowa, spoke in opposition.
He said the bill was inopportune. No
federal election took place till 1894, yet at
this crisis, with an extraordinary session
OF Congress to deal with financial ques-
tions, this bill was dragged into the arena.
What was the reason? The Democratic
party was confronted with great danger.
Last fall, by fusion in some states, by
chicanery in others, by advocating free
silver here and gold recommendation there,
the Democrats had come into power.
The president had attempted to carry out
the programme against silver. He split
his party in twain. Suddenly, by a de-
cree of a party caucus, this bill was
brought in. Why? To heal the breach;
to rally the whole strength of the party
with the war cry, "Down with the fed
eral supervision of elections!n Lacey
laid great stress on the constitution
atty of this law, and then began to
speak on the alleged election outrages in
the south, bringing on wordy exchange
with Talbert, OF South Carolina, when he
reached that state, Lacey getting the best
OF the encounter.
After Lacey concluded. McLaurin. of
South Carolina, replied as to structures on
that state, declaring ne was in favor of
local self government.
Wilson, OF Massachusetts, wanted to
know if the Democratic party favored
home rule; why Cleveland appointed
southern men to places in Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota and other
northern states,
Dearmond, of Missouri, followed in
support OF the measure
The proper way, said Dearmond, to
purify the ballot was the adoption of
system like the Australian ballot law.
That law rested on the assumption that
the people can rule, while the federal cleo
ton laws rest on the theory that they
cannot.
Glllett, of Massachusetts, who was the
next speaker for the opposition, and
Dewitt Warner entered into a heated
alteration about the condition of affairs
in New York. The existence of Tam
many, Gillett said, was considered unde-
sirable by the good men of both parties
in New York. He went on to contend
that it was absurd to go into the consti-
nationality of the laws after the Supreme
Court had ruled.
General Joe Wheeler, of Alabama, fol-
lowed with vigorous speech in support
of the measure. Graphically he painted
a picture of the tyranny that had OBJ
tanned in the south as a result of these
laws.
General Wheeler was followed by ex-
Senator Blair, of New Hampshire.
Blair's throat was SO affected that he was
forced, after he had explained his idea of
the immense Importance of the question
which involved the falsity, and the error
of the pernicious doctrine of states rights.
which he supposed was settled by the
war, to ask the indulgence of the House
to print his remarks in the Record.
The House at 4:15 adjourned.

heavy fighting was reported in progress
north of Buenos Ayres.
The surrender of Santa Catherine is
looked upon as an important victory for
the rebels, as it is contiguous to the Rio
Grande De Sol, which is not seriously
disaffected.
The rebels squadron, which went
south from Santos after falling to affect
landing there, leaving a war vessel to
blockade that point has been off the is
land of Santa Catharina some time and
the surrender of Desterro on its
west coast was announced, but
not believed, some days ago. The rebels
are now said to be in full possession of
the island, which is well watered and cap
able of being made most important
harbor, and having superb bay, where
the rebel ships can provision and refit, it
will serve as a base from which the rebels
will direct inland operations, as the rebel
commander intends to carry on the war
on land and gradually, if possible, gather
together an army strong enough to meet
President Peixoto's forces in a pitched
battle.
Peixoto is said to be greatly annoyed
and alarmed at the fresh success upon the
part of the rebels.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
Government Directors Say the Road Is in
Good Condition.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.--The annual
report of the government disectors of the
Union Pacific railroad states the entire
system is in excellent condition. The
earnings for the fiscal year ending June
30, however, have decreased considerably,
both gross and net, owing to the recent
difficulty in the financial world. For
Union Pacific railway proper, the earn
ings decreased 81 ,952; expenses increased,
$199, 649; surplus decreased, $401, SOP. For
the entire system for the same period the
earnings decreased $500, 927; ex-
penses increased, $174, 6S1; surplus
decreased, S491 500. Outstanding col
lateral trust notes retired, 81
$50, DOC. Notes outstanding, S11, 43O, 600.
The security still held by trustees is estl-
mated as S24, 663, $40. The directors are
confident that prudent administration
of the trust will result in the payment of
all notes outstanding and leave a consld-
cradle equity applicable to the other re-
quirementS of the company. 1t is sug-
gested that the approaching maturity of
the subsidy debt requires the adoption of
such measures as will secure the best re-
turns possible to the government and en-
able the company to discharge its func-
tions as pu bile carrier. The principal
of the debt due the government is S33.-
539, 512, and the approximate amount of
all indebtedness is 500, 000, 600. The di-
rectors repeat their recommendation that
it is for the interest of the government,
the company and the community which
the road serves, to make prompt, Just
and complete adjustment of the finan-
cial relations of the company and the
United States.

WANTS STATEHOOD.
A Convention VIII Be Held at Purcell
Today.

Today.
PURCELL, o. t., Sept. 29.-The con-
vention OF citizens of Oklahoma which is
to be held at Purcell tomorrow in behalf
of the vigorous movement that has set in
for the admission of the territory as a
state, will doubtless transmit to Congress
some very impressive facts and figures.
Oklahoma was organized as territory on
the 22nd day of April, 1889, so that it will
have had a probationary period of about
five years. AT that time its population
was nearly 81, 600. AT the Congressional
election of 1892 there were cast over %, 600
votes, which would indicate a consider
able increase in the number or in
habitants. 1t is claimed by the statehood
executive committee that the settlement
of the Cherokee Strip has brought the
population up to 275, 600 and the taxable
wealth of the territory to $50, 600 900.
These are, of course, outside Figures, but
even allowing a reasonable discount,
they largely exceed the mum Der of people
residing in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas,
and even Texas at the time of their adj
mission, and with the prospective in
clusion OF the Indian Territory would
bring up the population to higher point
than that OF any other territory in the
Union.
