SENATOR HILL SCORES.
White viii Not Go Upon the Finance
Committee Just Yet.

WASHINGTON, Aug 17.-As soon as the
reading of the journal of the Senate was
completed to-day, Harris, on behalf of the
Democratic steering committee, moved
that Senator White from California be ap-.
pointed TO the vacancy on the Finance
Committee caused by the death Of Vance:
Chandler interposed an objection. Harris
made the pdint:of order that his motion
was privileged because it looked to the
organization of the Senate. Chandler re-
marked sarcasticaliy that # was a little
late to begin the organization of the Sen
ate. He called attention to The fact that a
vacancy. ON the Finance Committee had
existed for months. and it; was prop osed
now 10 fill it at the very close of the ses-
sion. Harris declared holly that it was
with profound astonishment he heard OBJ
lection from the other side. In the eigh.
teen years that he had been a member of
that body, and no matter what party was
in power. the majority named at will the
members of the several committees of the
Senate and no voice was heard In obiec-
ton. The course of Chandler he con-
demned as most revolutionary. Chandler

BUZzARDs BAY, Mass, Aug. 17.-Pres-
ident Cleveland arrived at Gray Gables to-
day and was affectonately greeted by
Mrs. Cleveland and the children. He ap-
peaTed to be in good health and delighted
to see his family. The lighthOuse-tender
John Rogers steamed into the bay past
Hog Island shortly after 8 o'clock. Dur
ing the night a coal schooner had appro-
priated the Gray Gables moorings and the
Rogers drifted idly down toward Monu-

WILL CUT OFF FEES.
Judge Bellinger Puts a Stop to
Peculiar Abuse.
In Oregon a Ring Existed TO Make
Money Out of Arrests for Sell
ing Liquor TO Indians.

PORTLAND. Aug. 17.-Judge Belinger of
the United States District Court has de-
termined to put a stop to the abuse of ar
resting white men for selling liquor to
Indians. For many years Deputy Mar
shsls in remote parts of The State have
made business of arresting and bringing
to this city at heavy cost all white men
found giving liquor to Indians. The
average cost to the Government in each
case was about $500, while the fine i'm
posed on the defendant was seldom more
than SO.
Recently Judge Bellnger held that Indi-
ans holding lands in severalty were to be
considered citizens and amenable to State
laws. An Information was filed against
two white men charging them with selling
liquor TO an Indian while a ward Of the
United States and under the charge Of
duly authorized Indian agent. This is
new departure, 80 far as the charge usu-
ally made is concerned, but the Assistant
District Attorney was not successful in
having it accepted.
Judge Bellinger refused to allow any
such information 20 be filed in his court.
He he Id that 'if these cases are of suffi-
Gent Importance the District Attorney
must proceed with them by indictment.
The business has become farcical. If the
cares are Of enough consequence as TO re-
quire action in the District Court there
will have to be such punishment to the
offender as will have a deterrent effect On
the commission of such crime. Tie
court does not feel authorized to- impose
such punishment, except when there has
been an Indictment by the Grand Jury
Such is the practice in the district of
Washington, Idaho and Nevada aud there
is no reason why the same rule should not
be observed here.
IF the cases are frivolous. they require
but small punishment. The State authori-
ties can take care of them, and the State
law is also more drastic than the Fed
eral."
The city of Pendetoh. adjoining the
Umatilla Indian reservation, has been for
many years the central point of operation
among those engaged in the whisky bust
ness that produced large revenue for the
manipulators. So Systematically was it
conducted that il became regarded as a
regular Industry with Its agents, stool
pigeons and professional witnesses. all
we'll trained in their various parts. There
were some genuine cases. and this very
fact was excuse enough to extend the bust
ness until it assumed scandalous proper
lions.
Judge Bellihgers decision will cut off
fees from Deputy Marshals, United States
Commissioners. the clark OF the United
States court and the United States Dis
trict Attorney TO the extent OF several
thousand dollars per annum.

The grade from Two Bridges down
the mountain for twenty miles is very
steep, and engineers frequently apply
the air-brakes to keep their trains under
control. While taking this precaution
this morning at a sharp curve west of
Oak Ridge Pollison became convinced
that the brake on the tender Of his en-
gine was out of order.
He jumped to the floor Of the tank,
and while leaning far out to peer at the
brakes, he was struck by the upright
post OF an automatic time signal.
The blow knocked him from his en-
gine and fortunately threw him away
from the wheels down bank. twen-
