tion of the joint session of the hoase

United States Senators by the peo-
pie and such other measures, in
Guiding the appropriation bill, as
the steering committee may deem
important; that In their report to
the caucus the steering committee
shall provide the order In which
the above subjects Of legislation
shall be considered,
The caucus was In session from 2
o'clock until 1880 p m, and almost
the entire time was devoted to the
discussion Of the first proposition of
Senator Daniel instructlng the
committee on rules TO bring In an
amendment for a eloture and the
speeches were at times very spirit

Senators Vest, Villas, Berry and
George made speeches favoring the
proposition, while Senators Morgan
German, Palmer, Harris, Pugh, and
Others opposed II with vigor and
warmth The speeches were In the
same vein M those which have been
made In the Senate except that the
speaker discussed party questions

cations seems to multiply Of a de
termined purpose ON the part OF
Germany, open or indirection, TO
interpose obstacles in the way of
the importation of American pro.

discriminating duty against German
beet sugar imposed by the OK

First, on the preteXt Of the trans

nto power they would revive the

into power they would revive the
measure.
Senator German took the lead
in pressing these views in opposition
to cloture.
Senator Palmer, who had hereto
fore been an advocate of cloture,
indicated achange of position and
made a vigorous protest against
the adoption Of the resolution. He
said that the Democrats would lose
their majority in the Senate with
in few weeks and said it would be
the acme of foolishness to tie their
hands at such a critical time. The
protest against the proposed change
was 50 general that when a vote
was taken no one considered it ne
cessary to ask for the yeas and
nays.
When the cloture provision was
defeated the friends of the tariff
bill gave up the fight, considering
it unnecessary to make any attempt
to revive their consideration in
view of the opposition of majori-
ty of the Republicans and because
Of the fact that any determined
opposition under the rules would in
sure their defeat Hence it is that
those bills do not appear in the
official list of bills to be presented
for the consideration of the Sen
ate.
The order for the preparation Of
a currency bill by the finance com
mittee carries with it instructions
to take the recommendation of the
president and secretary of the
treasury into consideration, The
order is also broad enough to in
clude any other suggestions of f.
nadcial character which may be
presented and the Senators favora-
BILE to silver who were present at
the caucus say that it is also un-
'derstood that a feasible proposition
for the utilization of silver is to be
included in any currency system
presented to or by the committee.
No meeting of the steering com
mittee" has been called and there
has consequently been no agree
ment as to the order in which the
bills agreed upon shall be taken

State has been notified through its
Consular representative at Bremen,
of a proposed change IN the German
customs tariff by which the duty on
cotton seed oil will be increased 25O
per cent over the present rates.
Among the many additions to
existing duties, this seems to be the
most important, and it is said to
meet the wishes, not only of the
protectionst oil manufacturers of
Germany, but Of the Agrarians as
well. The present duty on Ameri-
can cottonseed oil is four marks ($D
and it is to be raised to ten marks.
IT, however, the imported cotton
seed oil is to be used for soap, 1t
may be officially drugged until un-
fit for food, when it is to be admit
ed at the rate Of 81 cents.

A BILL TO GUST BILL COOK.
Senator Berry's Bill to Change name
and Laws of the Indian
Territory,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The bill in
troduced in the Senate yesterday
by Senator Berry to provide tenn
porary government for the portion
of the Indian Territory occupied by
the five civilized tribes provides that
a territory shall be formed, to be
known as the Territory of Indianola.
Among the first provisions made is
one to the effect that at any time
in the future the boundaries may
be changed or any portion attached
to any other state or Territory by
the action of congress without Sc
curing consent of the inhabitants
of the new Territory, The bill pro-
vides for a governor and secretary
for the Territory, a delegate to
Congress and a legislative. assembly
the latter to be composed of a coun.
Gil to consist of twenty-one mem
bers and the house of forty-two,
the sessions to be held biennially
and to continue sixty days.
The Territory is to be divided in
to twenty-one counties. All male
citizens of the United States who
are actual residents and over Fl
years of age to have the right to
vote, as are also all male Indians
who are citizens of any tribe in the
Territory. It is provided that no
law shall be passed by the legisla'
ture interfering with the primary
disposal Of the soil or with the IT,
ties of the Indians of various tribes
or their manner of holding the same.
Indian nomesteads are made inalien-
able and are exempted from taxa
tion.
The bill provides for complete
judiciary system, and adopts large
number of laws of the state Of Ark
ansas.
All provisions of treaties hereto
fore made by the United States
with the civilized tribes, except so
far as the treaties relate to land
titles are abrogated and repealed,
and all governments established by
the tribes, abolished.
The lands now held in common by
the several tribes are to be divided
in severalty among the members of
the tribes, each to have home
stead of 100 acres, and after this
division the residue is to be sold and
the proceeds divided among the In

Again who can estimate the value

land. We are gratifed to be able
to report that never in the history

IMMIGRATION POURING IN.
Thousands of Desirable Homeseekers
Coming to Arkansas.

immigration is pouring into Ar
kansas at rate which surpasses
the most roseate expectations of
the most hopeful. Several favored
sections of the state are the bene-
ficiaries of the influx, Boone coun-
ty leads all others with a showing of
eighty-fve thrifty families, who
have bought homes and located
there within the last two months.
These desirable immigrants are
from the blizzard blasted regions of
the two Dakotas, Nebraska and
Kansas. The emigration from these
states Of late has been enormous.
Gov. Fishback stated yesterday that
in some Kansas counties the popu
lation has dwindled 50 much as to
leave a smaller percentage Of resi-
dents than is required in order to
secure representation in the state
legislature, The Governors mail is
daily laden with requests for print
ed matter descriptive of Arkansas
resources.
Over fifty families from Illinois,
Wisconsin and Minnesota have been
located in Johnson, Crawford and
other Arkansas valley counties in
the past six weeks, through the
missionary efforts of the Iron Noun
tain railroads indefatigable land
agents. Agent Ennis, with head
quarters at Chicago, is doing some
effective work in the immigration
line for Arkansas.
At the state bureau of mines,
manufacture and agriculture the
attaches are busy receiving and
entertaining advance gaurds of i'm
migration parties from the north
westen States. The state officials
report a brisk demand for prairie
lands from those immigrants who
have tired Of the climatic disadvan-
tageS of the northwestern states.
In consequence Of this demand Ark
ansas County and contig-
uous counties are reaping
a substantial share of
the increased influx, A few days
ago a train of wagons loaded with
homeseekers passed through the
city euroute for Stuttgart with a
view to permanently locating there,
The entire party had been frozen
out in North Dakota
Reports based upon official infor-
nation indicate that the tide of inn
migration towards Arkansas is un-
precedented. In the past three
months upwards of 25,OOO actual
homeseekers have settled within the
borders of the State, either ac-
quiring railroad lands or securing
State land by homesteading, In
his annual report just issued from
the press, Commissioner Vincenhel-
Ter says;
"1n the matter of immigration
alone, during the year 1894, (Which
we insist was largely due to the ef-
forts and methods put forth by this
bureau) who can correctly estimate

NATIONAL ARBITRATION BILL.
Chairman McGann Thinks It's Pros
poets for Passage are Ex-
Cellent.

peCCS IOT EdSSaSe are Elk

WASHINGTON Dec, 6.-Labor Com
missioner Wright will have con-
ference tomorrow with Chairman
McGann of the House committee on
labor, Representative Springer, au-
thor of the pending arbitration bill,
and Representative Erdman, who
wrote the favorable report on the
bill.
Chairman McGann says of the
prospects Of passing an arbitration
bill this session:
81 think such bill will go
through the Senate and House
without difficulty. There seems to
be general feeling, without refer
ence to party, as to the opportune-
ness of such a measure. Under or
binary circumstances it would be
difficult to get through such an i'm
pOrtant bill at a short session, but
the feeling is so ripe for such ac-
tion that expect to pass both
houses, The Springer bill now re-
ported is almost identical with the
recommendations of the Presiden-
tial strike commission, Mr.. Wright
will be asked for suggestions to
perfect the bill, and there will be a
united effort to secure speedy ac-
tion on the subject" d"
Briefly, the bill provides for the
appointment of a permanent board
Of arbitration, consisting of three
persons, one Of whom may, in the
discretion Of the President, be the
commissioner of labor the time be-
ing. The term or their Office is fix
ed at six years, and their salaries
at 50, 900 a year, and their appoint
ment shall be made by the Presi-
dent, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate The arbi-
tration is secured by the petition of
one of,the parties to a controversy,
aud when neither party asks for it,
here is no compulsory arbitration,
but on the application of a state
legislature the President may ten
der the Offices of the national COM
mission, The power Of the commits.
sion to settle strikes is defined in
the bill as follows;
The said national board Of arbi-
tration shall have power, when in
their opinion the public interests
are at stake, to investigate the
causes of all controversies and dis
putes between employees and their
employers in the United States, as
they may occur and the conditions
accompanying them, and the means
Of their adjustment, whether such
controversies and disputes are sub
mitted for arbitration or not, and
to report thereon to the President
of the United States, who shall
from time to time transmit such
reports to Congress Said board
shall have power to adjust and set
tie by conciIiatiou all such disputes
and controversies, so far as II may
be able to do So ~
1t Is pointed out that the moral
effect of a settlement proposed by
the national commission would be
sufficient TO make II effective, and
that this would be better than dras-
tic measures to compel acceptance,

SUGAR TRUST SCORES.

The compromise amendments 20 the
sugar schedule were all adopted in the
senate Tuesday and the pivotal schedule
on which the fate of the tariff measure
depended went through without change
On the vital amendment to place all
sugars on the free list the democratic
line was drawn, Mr.. Hill, Of New York,
voting in favor Of IL and Mr.. Irby being
paired the same way. But the republic
ans were unable to hold their own forces
intact, Messrs. Henderson and Perkins
voting against the amendment and Mr..
Quay being paired against IL, while Mr..
Sherman, who was present did not vote
at all.
Only one Of the populists, Mr.. PETER,
voted for free sugar. Messrs. Kyle and
Allen in the final issue Joining with the
majority Of democrats against IL. Had
all the republicans, with the three popu-
lists and the two disaffected democrats,
Joined hands, raw and refined would
have gone on the free list. On all the
other amendments offered by the repub-
leans the majority against them ranged
from three to ten.
The adoption of the sugar schedule
practically insures the passage Of the
bill at an early date, although 1t is init
mated that the republicans will make a
final stand on the sugar schedule when
the bill is reported and considered in the
senate.
As adopted the schedule imposes duty
OF 40 per cent ad valorem on all sugars
raw and refined. with a dfferential OF
one-eighth Of cent per pound on sugars
above l6- Dutch standard and an addi-
tional one tenth of a cent against sugars
imported from countries paying an ex-
port bounty. 1t continues the Hawaiian
treaty admitting sugars from the Sand
witch Islands free of duty and places a
duty of cents per gallon on moiasses
testing above 40 degrees by the polari
scope. The schedule goes into effect
Jan. 1, 1895. and the bounty is continued
until that date.
