SENATE.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-Tbe sundry civil
appropriation bill occupied the exclusive
attention of the senate today. The amend
ment which had been discussed on Wednes-
day, and the effect of which is to continue
in force federal supervision of elections,
was carried by party vote. All the com
mittee amendments having been disposed
of and the bill being open to general
amendment, the question as to the issue of
per cent bonds Lo maintain the gold re-
serve was precipitated. The amendment
was offered by Mr.. Sherman and n point
of order was raised against it by Mr..
Stewart. The point was, after discussion,
overruled by the vice president, and an ap-
peal from the decision was laid on the
table by "a vote of 2S to IS. The merits of
the amendments were discussed for the
rest of the day and the Adjournment came
before the debate closed.
In the course of the discussion of Mr.
Sherman's amendment Mr.. Stewart said
that there was no necessity to sell bonds
to buy coin. There was plenty of coin in
the treasury. There was over $500 900, 900
in silver coin and silver bullion in the
treasury aud sos 600, coo in gold, thus
making over 500, 900, 600 in coin or of what
might be converted into coin. If silver
was good money for the people, it was
good money for everybody, aud there was
plenty of it.

THE CHlckAsAw LAWMAKERS.


ARDMORE, /. T., Feb. 17-[SpeciaL 1.-The
Chichasaw legislature convened at the
capital, Tishomingo, yesterday. 1t is un-
derstood that the extra session is called TO
ratify the recent action of congress grant
ing the Chickasaws and Choctaws some
81 500, 600 in payment for their claim in
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservations
recently allotted and opened to settlement.
This claim has been before congress for
several years, and it is said that nearly
one-half the amount will be paid by the
Indians as attorney fees, etc. 1t IS be-
lieved here among the most prominent
Chickasaws that President Harrison is
simply putting off the payment OF this
money until after the 4th of March to al
low the new administration at Washing
ton to settle the matter. After all fees
are paid and a few of the leaders get their
take-off it is very probable that the re-
mainder will be divided per capita among
the Chickasaws and Choctaws. 1t has
beeen estimated by careful calculators
that each man, woman and child will be
entitled to about So.
The late grand jury at Tishomingo con-
demned the Chickasaw capitol buildings as
unsafe, and it is probable that the ca pitol
will be removed to some point on the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe railway. The
present capital is thirty five miles from
the nearest railroad station, and it's re-
moval is endorsed by many prominent
ChickaSaWS

OUNJS REVIEW

New YORK, Feb. 17.-R. c. Dun & Co. g
Weekly Review of Trade says:
"The exports OF gold today will probably
be not more than $1,000 600, and the treas
ury reserve Of over $l09, ,0O0, 900 has not been
diminished. Moreover, quite large pur-
chases of securities on foreign account are
reported, which would cancel the heavy
adverse merchandise balances, and to that
extent prevent gold shipments. The spec
ulative markets have been comparatively
quiet, in view of the monetary uncertain
", and somewhat weaker, excepting that
oil has risen AZ cents aud lard nearly 15
cent. Wheat is y cent lower, with re-
ceipts of ], 600, 600 bushels at the west III
four days. Corn is / 4 cents lower. Cotton
is "a cent lower, though receipts continue
small. Oats and coffee are each Il cent
lower. Stocks are somewhat depressed by
disappointment about tie bond issue.
"The woolen works are busy, and sales
of wool at the chief markets have gained
IA per cent. The trade in dress goods Is
excellent. Knit goods are strong and car
pets as well, but cottons are little less
active. There is an unprecedented de
mAnd for copper in electric work. Tin
is lower. The coal market is as sloppy
as the weather In the iron trade
no distinct improvement Is seen. While
business Is large, prices are entirely de-
moraliZed by intense competition. Rails
are an exception, and the structural works
are well employed, though at very low
prices; but the demand for plates is not up
TO the capacity of the works, and bar iron
is quite weak.
1.-The financial outlook depends largely
upon the fact that exports of the princi-
pal products during January were S29,-
000 900 smaller than last years, while i'm
ports at New York alone were 81, 100000
larger than last years, which indicates a
considerable excess of imports for the
month. and explains the heavy outgo of
gold. In February thus far exports from
New York have been but little below last
years. though at the cotton ports they
were very much smaller, and meanwhile
imports show an enormous increase.
''The business failures for the past week
were 233, decrease of thlrty-three from
the week before, and of sixty-six from the
same week last year"

THE RESULT OF MERIT,

When anything stands test of fifty
years among discriminating people like
the Americans, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. The value
of medicine is best proved by its continue
use from year to year by the same persons
and families, as well as by steady increas-
ing sale. Few. if any, medicines have
met with such continued success and
popularity as has marked the intro
ductlon and progress of BRANDETH'S
PILLS, which, after trial of over fifty
wears, are conceded to be the safest and
most effective purgative and blood purifier
introduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit, and that
BRANDRDTH'S PILLS actually perform all
that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those
who have used them longest.
BRANDRETHs PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar coated.

mittee on credentials reported 158 dele
gates present. After ringing speeches by

publican principles as enunciated at Min
neapolis; endorsing the national admins
tration and the efficiency of the
Republics territorial government: con-
graduating the Republicans of the terri
tory on their success in the last campaign;
eulogizing in the highest terms the
revered memory of that magnetic and
mRtchless Republican leader, James q.

There is no day in the life of the
British tradesman, excepting, perhaps,
his wedding day, so filed with the
poetry of beatific Joy and exaltation as

ment known as a royal warrant, de-
soends upon him. This warrant is no
ordinary honor, but is in trade more
than degree TO a doctor or a commits

in the ordinary line OF promotion, but

concerned. All royal personages have
a right 20 issue their personal war

HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17-There were no
personal conf cts on the floor of the house
today, although there was strong under
current of bad feeling. In four or five in
stances a passionate word would have
worked trouble, but reason took the place
of passion, and the pension appropriation
bill was passed.
The postoffice appropriation bill was
considered without final action.
The car coupler bill was postponed until
Tuesday next.
Mr.. johnson Of Indiana, in calling the
attention Of the speaker TO what he
thought was a Misrepresentation on the

ceeded in an impassioned manner and en-
tirely out of order, to continue his remarks.
The speaker peremptorily ordered the
gentleman from Indiana to take his seat,
as the gentleman was willfully violating
the rules
Mr.. Johnson-The gentleman from In

ORLANDO GOSSIP.

ORLANDO, o. T., Feb. 16.-[Special /
The location of the territorial penitentiary
! is at present a subject of much considera-
tion throughout the territory, and the
greatest rivalry exists between the varions
towns in their efforts to secure the coveted
prize. Already numerous petitions have
been presented. Many conflicting inter
ests are involved, aud it will require keen
judgment on the part of our Legislative
solons to satisfy so many rival claimants
In determining matter of so much i'm
portance it is not only just but proper to
consider the general good, rather than
a mere local sentiment. 1t is now gener-
ally conceded that Orlando presents the
Necessary advantages aud requirements.
A ma jorily of the council concur IN this
view of the matter, and all the leading
men of the territory agree as to Orlando's
desirable and central location. This fa-
yorable sentiment is due to the efforts OF
Colonel II. E. Glazier. w. II. HysAl, l.. l..
Crider and Colonel G. S. Parrish. who
have worked increasingly in behalf of
Orlando's claim.
Numerous arrests are being made here
of parties accused of cutting timber from
the Cherokee strip Over $50 arrests have
been made so far and many warrants are
still in the possession of the United States
marshals.
Many claims have been sold during the
last few days. and the real estate market
has had quite boom. G. f. Price, ]. B.
Archer, Charles Feel and P. Mahoney are
among the many who sold within the last
two days, at sums ranging from s.. 600 to
5000. The above transfers were made
through Colonel c. S. Parrish, promi-
neut attorney here Jim Van Deventer,
located just south of town, was, on Tues
day, offered $1,000 for his claim, which he
promptly refused
Captain L. b. Sullivan of Mulhall has
been here for several days. He is working
mp interest in favor of General Jameson,
his old commander, who is prominently
mentioned as a candidate for gubernato-
rial honors.
