BUTTE WAS NOT ON HAND.
Sergeant-at-Arms Directed to Bring Him
Before the Investigating Committee.

Sergeant-at-Arms Directed to Bring Him
Before the Investigating Committee.
WASHINGTON, My Go. w. Buttz,
who was very anxious to be present be-
fore the senate bribery investigating
committee, was not on hand when the
committee met Tuesday. Instead he
sent his attorney, McGowan, who said
his client was engaged in making search
for witness who could corroborate his
statements and throw light upon the
question at issue. The explanation was
far from satisfactory and Mr.. MCGOWAN
was informed Buttz was the man wanted
and not a substitute. Accordingly they
called the sergeant-at-arms to their as
sistance and directed that subpoena be
issued for Buttz. While waiting the
committee called in several senators, in
Guiding Messrs. Voorhees,, Harris and
Coke, to whom Senators Hunton and
Kyle had stated they had given informal
ton of the approaches made to them
selves soon after Buttz had first made
his propositions to them. They con-
6r1ned the statements of Messrs. Hunton
and Kyle.
The sergeant-at-arns reported to the
committee at | o'clock he had failed to
find Buttz. Major Buttz did not meet
the expectations of the committee by
putting in an appearance during the
afternoon. None Of the members of the
committee think there is any probability
of his having left the city to evade the
Investigation.

JONES SURPRISES THE SENATORS.
Presents the NIoKinley Bin Classiaeatloh

Presents the Mckinley Bill Classification
Iron Ore as an Amendment.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The senate dis
posed of seven paragraphs of the metal
schedule Tuesday, after eight hours of
debate. The debate was marked by
quito a number of interesting clashes be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats.
The sensational feature of the day was
caused by the unexpected presentation
by Jones of an amendment substituting
the Mckinley bill classification and spe-
ciic rates on round iron in coils. blooms
and charcoal iron, somewhat higher than
those already proposed. This amend
ment was a surprise to some senators on
both sides. although evidently antici-
pated by Quay and few others of his
colleagues. Hale tried to use it as a text
for tauntIng the Democrats, and Teller
read him very plain lecture on the
duty Of the Republicans to accept such
increases as the Democrats We're willing
to grant without continually Gliding
their adversaries with inconsistency.
When the vote was taken, seven Demo
Gratis and two Populists refused to sup
ported the Jones substitute, namely: Al
len, Berry, Blackburn, Jarvis. Kyle,
Mills, Pascoe and PETER.

Civil service In the House.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The question
of civil service reform was given full
sway in the house Tuesday, the occasion
being the amendment to strike out the
paragraph in the legislative appropria-
lion bill providing for the civil service
commission. The amendment was adopted
by vote of 1u9 toll, amid great Demo
cratic applause and Republican cries of
'fspoils.' Several Democrats opposed
the amendment virtually abolishing the
commission. but it was adopted by nearly
a strict party vote. Among the Demo
cratss who voted with the Republicans
in favor of the civil service reform were:
Wilson. Tracey, Hendrix. Dockery, War

WAGeENER HAs HIS HANDS FULL.
Judge Williams Too Busy to Try the San.
ders CommonWealers' Case.


Topeka, May 22.-United States Dis
trict Attorney Perry has telegraphed
from Wichita to Judge Waters, attorney
for General Sanders and his common
veal army, that owing to other judicial
engagements it would be impossible for
Judge Williams to try the cases. This
probably will have the effect of postpon-
ing the cases until the next term of
court. unless they be dismissed by the
voluntary action of the government or
by habeas corpus proceedings, instituted
by the men themselves. The latter, If
instituted, must be before Judge Will
Jams at Wichita. if he will consent to
hear them, or before Judge Caldwell at
Little Rock. It issreported here that the
government authorities are disposed to
dismiss the cases and set the prisoners at
liberty, but cannot get the consent of
the Missouri Pacific people, who fled
the inforTnations charging the common
wealers with obstructing the mails. It IS
also reported that the railroad company
is anxious to effect some sort OF an ar
rangenent by which the cases may be
dismissed, but 50 far all propositions
have been rejected by Waters.

Women who Make The neat wives.

Probably there is no one old enough
to be interested In the question "What
women make the best wives?" who has
not some personal ideas on the subject;
but whatever our ideas on the topic NAV

G. R,>& ]. railroad OF q portion OF its
grant This suit is based on exactly the
same grounds as that which Commission
er Lamoreaux recommended short time

All reserved" lands were expressly
excluded by the terms OF the grant, but

ed 10 spite Of this provision many thous-
and acres which had been preserved" for
an Indian reservation. The lands 10 ques-
ton are 10 Emmett county. aud embrace
10000 acres, for which patents have been
issued, and 5000 acres for which patents
are still withheld. Secretary Hoke Smith

torneys T. j. O'Brien and ID. Fox asked
for delay until they could file briefs with
Olney. showing why suit should not be
Instituted.
As a matter of courtesy, the case was
deferred until the receipt of the briefs
yesterday. The attorneys claim that
while the lands actually were once .re-
served" for possible use by Indians, they
never actually formed part of resrva-
ton, their withdrawal from the reserved
class seeming to be due toan official over
sight. The case will undoubtedly be
