CIar1nR tnaC MT. baydFu nhu violated Ms
duty in denouncing half of his conrtry
men.
When Mr.. Crisp pressed Mr.. Dingley
hard to know if he believed that Mr.
Bayard's words we're impeachable, Ding
ley replied that in his opinion they were,
but the policy of doing SO he, Dlngley,
doubted.
IMPEACHMENT FEATURE STRICKEN OUT.
The first vote on the Barrett resolution
came on motion by Mr.. Crisp to refer
it to the judiciary committee, the motion
being defeated on rising vote of so to
2O6.
The Barrett resolution was adopted
after striking out the words directing the
foreign affairs committee to report "by
impeachment or otherwise"
The LAND COURT.
The president yesterday sent to the
senate the nominations for the U. s. Ian
court judgships. All the present incum-
bents were renominated as follows: JOS
eph R. Reed, of Iowa; H. G. Sluss, of
Kansas; Wilbur F. Stone, of Colorado;
W. W. Murray, of Tennessee; 7. G. Fuller,
OF North Carolina.
STATEHOOD.
Plans for the admission of new states
are much discussed among members of
the house. Already three bills have been
introduced on the subject. Representa-
tive Wheeler, who was chairman of the
committee on territories in the last con-
gress, has offered bill providing for the
admission of the territories of Oklahoma,
Arizona and New Mexico. Delegate Muir
ply has introduced separate bill in be-
half of Arizona and Delegate Catron, of
New Mexico, has introduced also bill
for the admission Of that territory. The
latter is essentially a copy of the act ad-
mitting Utah to statehood.
CRIPPLE CREEK MAPs.
There has been such demand for the
map of the Cripple Creek district, gotten
out by the geological survey, that Sen
ator Teller yesterday introduced reso-
luton to provide for the printing of 5000
extra copies of the map.
SOME BILLS.
Representative Shafroth, of Colorado,
introduced the following bill: To fix the
time for the assembling of congress to
the Monday after March succeeding an
election; to protect the forests on public
domain from fire, and to provide for the
coinage of gold and silver upon equal
terms.
CAMERON QUITS.
Silver men generally received the an
nouncement of Senator Cameron's deci-
sion, not to stand for reelection, with re-
gret. This position was taken by the
senator because of his desire to escape
from annoyance and criticism, which
were not due to his advocacy of silver so
much as to the political complications in
Pennsylvania. It is also understood now
that the senator will not be in the pres
ident,al race, though this is not yet
definitely determined.
NATIONAL NOTES.
Representative Bell introduced a bill
yesterday Withdrawing the right of the
secretary of the navy to issue
bonds.
If it is true that Great Britain intends
to prohibit the importation of American
sheep, there will be vigorous protest
from our government.
It is reported that the Venezuelans are
preparing for war with Great Britain. At
Caracas a convention is to be held to con-
slider the question of defense.
There is no report at the Venezuelan
legation in Washington of the contents
of the note which is to be delivered to
President Orespo, in which Great Britain
demands 100000 for the arrest of English
men by Venezuelans on English terri
tory"
Senator Elkins gave dinner to a num-
Der of the members of the Republican
national committee. Party policy was
discussed, and Chairman Carter took oc-
casion to say that he did not think it wise
for Republicans to be too confident of
the next election.
