Bureau Formed In Spokane to Dos
seminato Information.
SPOKANE, April ia bureau of ir=
formation has been formed in this city
for the purpose of attracting the best
class of immigrants to this section.
Not long since letter was published in
the city press from Mrs. Alice Hough-
ton, arraigniDg the slowness and sloth:
fitness of parties who should be inter-
terested in the growth of Spokane and
surrounding territory, and drawing
comparisons between them end the ell
ergy displayed by residents of Califor-
mia who followed up their fine display
at the worlds fair BY systematic and
concerted work which produced good
results. In the letter Mrs. Houghton
praised the work of the Great North
ern Railway in its efforts to enhance
the interests of the great northwest.
This railway seems to have occupied the
field to itself, and has flooded the entire
country with advertising matter des-
criptive of Washington, its resources
and industries and what it has to on r
to the intending settler or prospector.
Immediately after the close of the Fruit
Grover.' Convention G. G. Dixon, the
G. P. q T. A. of the company in this
city, forwarded to the general Office in
St. Paul, large display of fruit which
had been on exhibition, and from there
it was redistributed to all its larger
offices in the east as ocular evidence of
what our great state can do in one par
ticular line. 1t is to be hoped that the
Spokane bureau of immigration will
receive the practical encouragement of
every one interested in its praisworthy
objects

TO PROTECT A MURDERER
Invaders and Intriguers at Biuefields Jnb

Roast of Their Acts.

New ORLEANS, April 16.-The steamer
George Seeley arrived today from Blue
fields, Nicaragua, bringing news to
April1s. The Picayune's correspondent
writes:
ION the evening of the OH inst. a
small schooner arrived from GreytowD,
bringing mail adviees and several
Nicaraguan officials Among those, to
the great surprise of even Lacavc, was
the Wilson murderer. Norbut Arguello,
late acting governor of Rama AS soon
as it became known that this man was
in town, the citizens began to congre-
gaze in groups. As the Nicaraguans
suspected that the peculiar movements
of the Americans meant something the
assassin Arguel'o was placed under
arrest and has since been confined to
the provincial tombs.
"In the mail brought by the same
schooner came telegram from United
States Minister Baker, dated April !,

ing him that the government Of Nicar-
aqua had received his exequator
and his official papers. Invaders and
lntriguers were jubilant over this ad
ditional insult to the flag of the United
States and openly boasted that Lacayo
had downed Braid and that the Ameri-
cans must submit to the laws of Near
aqua, and that Charles A. Lacayo will
never permit Robert H. Clarence, chief
of the Mosquitian, to resume control of
the municipal and national affairs of

A Now Nicaragua Canal Bill.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Nor.
gan, chairman of the senate committee
on foreign relations, has reported favor
ably the bill inteDded as the committee
substitute for the Nicaragua canal bill
heretofore introduced by him. The bill
differs in some respects from the origi-
nal measure. 1t contemplates full CO.
operation on the part of the United

Mercantile company. The new bill
strikes out the provision forbidding gov.
eminent directors to be stockholders in
the company, and also eliminates the
discretionary powers conferred on visit,

CAR REED RULES
CongratdIates the Fifty.third Con-
gress on Its Action.
WILL COUNT A QUORUM
Business of the Nation Will Now He Trans
acted With Dispstch-Plaudlts
for the COnquerOr.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-There was
large attendance in the galleries of the
house today. Mr.. Catchings secured
recognition and presented the quorum
counting rule, agreed upon by the dem
ocratic caucus last week. After amend
ments offered by Messrs. Burrows and
Reed, rule to close debate at o'clock
was carried. Under the rule fifteen
minutes was allowed on each side for
debate. Mr.. Hatch attempted to ask
unanimous consent for further time, but
Mr.. Bynum objected. Some questions
followed as to the manner in which the
time should be divided. In the course
of the controversy, Mr.. Reed stated
that so far as the republican minority
was concerned, the rule reported from
the committee on rules embodied the
principal for which they had been con-
tending. There might, perhaps, be
some objection to the details of the
rule, but the principle was correct
one.
Mr.. Burrows, after stating that the
proposed rule was substantially the rule
of the Fifty.first congress, withdrew
the substitute he had offered.
The debate was even.tempered and
wholly unlike what had been antici-
pated. The republicans were bubbliDg
over with good humor over the consum-
nation of their long legislative strug-
gle, and applauded every democratic
convert to the rule put in practice.
Mr.. Russell, democrat, of Georgia, to
whom Mr.. Reed yielded one minute, de-
clared no one would have the temerity
to affirm that the Fifty-frst congress
would have adopted quorum counting
device had the republicans in that house
not been so hard pressed for quorum
With the enormous majority held by the
democrats of the house, it was bumil-
iating spectacle 20 see them forced to
the adoption of revolutionary expedi-
ent. A round of applause answered
this, and Mr.. Reed arose with display
of fervent generosity and good hnmor,
consented for Ave minutes more. II do
not want to use it myself" said he, 81
would like to distribute it among my
democratic friends"
Mr.. Reeds words seemed to goad Mr..
Bynum particularly, and he objected n
loud voice. Thereupon Reed said he
would only consume minute of the re-
MANNING time. He thought it unneces-
sary to say ANYTHING. The scene here
today was more effective than any, ad-
dress he would make. The house was
about to adopt a principle for which the
republicans had contended since the
Fifty.arst congress. 81 congratulate
the Fifty-third congress-" said he i'm
pressively, con the wise decree it is
about to make"
Messrs. Cultivate and Catchings
made excuses for the democracy and
the vote was then taken on the adop
ton of the new rule. The republicans
all voted In the Affirmative. 1t was
adopted, 212 to II.
