COUNTING OF THE VOTES
The Principal Feature of the Sessions of
Congress Yesterday.

The Principal Feature of the Sessions of
Congress Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The counting of the
presidential vote and its formal entry on
the journals of the senate and house was
the feature that attracted the populace to
the Capitol yesterday, and every place re-
served for spectators was crowded to such
an extent III the house chamber that a
number of ladies were admitted to the
floor. There was some filibustering over
the reading of the journal and the taking
up of the quarantine bill received from the
senate, but it was of short duration and a
motion to concur in the sena<e amend
amendments to the quarantine bill was
agreed to.
The Event of the Day.
Some unimportant business was transact
cd, recess of fifteen minutes taken and at
1855 the senate and supreme court marched
in, and the ceremony of counting the cleo

contained in boxes kept in a safe in the
Capitol, and these boxes were brought in
by guard of police headed by Captain
Bassett Representatives Lodge and Chip
man were the tellers for the house, and
| Senators Hale and Blackburn for the SEN

when it was noticed that one box was hard

GRESHAM AS PREMIER.
The Judge Said to Be Slated as
Cleveland's Secretary
of State.
The Appointment Soon to Be An
nounced by the President
Elect.

CHICAGO. Feb. S.--A special to the
Herald from New York says: Judge
Walter @. Gresham, of Chicago, is to be
secsetary of state i'll the Cleveland adj
mlnistration. This fact became known
here today to a few persons. The offer
of the post has been made to Judge
Gresham and he has accepted. Mr..
Cleveland himself will make the fact
known in a day or two. This selection
will be sure to create some surprise
when it becomes known. The rumOr
that Gresham was offered the place was
circulated here some time ago and was
received with incredulity by many Dem
ocrats. They did not deem it pos
sible that Mr.. Cleveland would go out
side the ranks of his party for secre-
tary of state. and did not think Judge
Gresham would accept, even if the
tender was made him. But the expert
ment has happened, and Judge Gresham
will in two weeks resign his seat on the
bench and prepare to move to Wash
ngton to take up his duties as secretary
OF state. Thus man who four Years
ago was a candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination is to become
premier under the incoming Demo-
cratic nomination.

AGAINST CLOTURE.
The Silver Repeal Bill Will Fol
low the Usual Course.

The Silver Repeal Bill Will Fol
low the Usual Course.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The report of
the committee on rules on the silver
question will come up in the house to-
morrow. This afternoon the advocates
of the repeal of the Sherman act were
in conference in the banking and
currency committee rooms. Their
hopes of securing cloture have grown
less as the time for TAX
ing the vote has approached.
A majority of the Democrats are agains
it, and the efforts to secure supper
from the Republicans appear to hav
failed. Mr.. Reed, and the Eastern Re
publicans generally, are in favor of xii
ing the ''silver snake" as it is called,
every time the opportunity presents it
self; but the Western Republicans, as
rule, refuse to follow the lead of their
Eastern brethren. The Western leaders,
Hopkins and Lind, have list of
between thirty and forty Republicans
who. they say, will oppose taking
up the silver question at this time. Be-
sides the free silver Republicans, this
list includes most of the Republicans
from Michigan, Kansas, Minnesota, Hi
nOis and Indiana, and also votes from
other states. The Iowa Republicans
appear to be wavering and undecided.
The Illinois and Indiana Democrats,
with few exceptions, are decidedly
against clOture on one ground or
another, and in the South number of
members who favor action on the silver
question fear To commlt themselves to
an notwithstanding policy.

TWO STICKS DYING.
The Indian Murderer Will Not
Recover From His Wounds.

PINE RIDGE, Feb. S.-The Uncapapa
boy Mark, who was the only one of
the murderers of the four whites at the
beef contractors ranch on White Clay
creek, was brought into the agency
today. He was captured by the special
detail, and is under guard at Young
Mara frajd- His Horses camp to-
night. He will be turned over to
the United States marshal tomor-
row. Two Sticks is expected to die
before morning. White-Face Horse
confessed just before dying that old
Two Sticks did not go into the dug
out to participate in the kill
ing, but remained outside OH the
hill and made signals so they
would be sure to succeed. The bring
ing of the murderer to the agency is
likely to cause considerable excitement,
but the whites and friendlies here have
full confidence in Capt. Browns ability
to cope with the hostiles. A special
from Robinson, where the first
battalion of the Ninth cavalry is
stationed, reports that arrangements
are being made there to get ready for
the field. Horses are being shod, har-
ness mended and similar preparations
for active service are in progress. There
will be more reason for the statement
that trouble is anticipated than the
armed people have been willing to ad-

DEMOCRATS DIVIDE.
A Split in Indiana Which May Re-
suit DisaStrOusly

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. S.-A big row
has developed on the Democratic side
which may result in the enactment of a
Republican legislative apportionment
bill. Some time ago the senate
passed bill restoring to the gov
ernor the right to appoint the trustees
of the various penal and benevolent in
situations, etc. The Democrats of the
house caucussed on the bill and voted it
down by substantial majority. The
defeated minority has threatened to
pass the bill with the aid of Repub-
lican votes. Tonight joint Demo-
cratic caucus was sheld to consider
the legislative portionment bill. None
of the minority in the previous house
caucus-those opposed to the restoration
of the appointing powerto the governor
were in attendance. As the Demo
cratic members of the senate were
almost unanimously in favor of restOra-
ton the ants feared that the
restoration question would again
be raised and tnat in Joint debate they
would be beaten. This action on the
part of the ants greatly incensed the
restorationists, and they declared that
if theiT opponents did not come into the
caucus they would vote for the Repub-
lican reapportionment bill.
