Fair Made with the Measure
In the House.

IM IA
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE day in the
House was again devoted to the Indian ap-
preparation bill, and fair progress was
made. A number of amendments were
adopted, the most important being to pay
to the Cherokee nation $1,000, 900. An
amendment by Mr.. Picker to discontinue
the services of army officers as Indian
agents was ruled out of order.
At the opening of the session a bill was
passed, on motion of Mr.. Henderson,, of
Illinois, to grant Mrs. Sarah A. Clapp the
pay and allowances of a surgeon for serv-
ices as such in the Seventh Illinois In
fantry.
The Senate amendments to the urgent de-
ficiency bill were disagreed to and the bill
sent to the conference.
Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee, chairman
of the committee on printing, then, as a
matter of privilege. had read a paragraph
printed in a local paper relating to the in
corporation in the printing bill, passed at
the last session, of a clause extending the
Thanking privilege to members of Congress
vate individuals on official or departmental
business. The paragraph indicated that
the clause had been Incorporated in the
from the Record, showing that the clause
had been debated and adopted by a vote of
AZ to 40.
the whole for further consideration of the
Indian appropriation bill. General debate
was closed and the bill was considered I'M
der the ive-minute rule for amendment.
Mr.. Caruth at this point took occasion to
supplement his remarks of some days ago
against the national postage movement
looking to a reduction of letter postage.
He retracted what he said on the previous
occasion concerning Lyman j. Gage, Of
Chicago, who, along with other reputable
gentlemen, withdrew from their connection
with the movement of last October. After

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Secretary
of the Treasury has about completed his
regulations for the government of vessels
employed in fur seal fishing during the

In an editorial the Times says: France
and Europe have been preserved from the
graveSt dangers arising from Casimfr-
Perier's sudden desertion of his post. Faure
has two things in his favor. Rightists who
opposed Casimir-Perier have awakened TO
a truer sense of their duty. The conduct
of the Duke of Orleans affords an agree
able contrast to that of the Count of Paris
and affords the hope that even the re-
actionairies have been at last frightened
by the progress of the common enemies of
civilization. The second point is the en-
thusiastic reception the Parisians have
given the new President. showing that they
appreciate his self-sacrifice."

will also show that the action of the Paris
tribunal has been proven to have fallen far
short Of preventing the wanton slaughter of
seal life which may soon result in the total
destruction of the herds, since seal may be
freely killed sixty miles from shore. AS
these are mostly females the increase of the
herd is prevented. Another provision of
the Paris. award which is said to have been
abortive is that no fire arms shall be used
within the sixty mile zone. The most sue
cessful natives, it Is said, never use fire
arms, the speer or harpoon being far more
effective and is in general use. In view of
these facts it is believed that steps are
about to be taken to secure Great Britain's
consent to a modification of the Paris
awards having for it's object the total sus-
pension for a specified number of years of
pelagic sealing within the Boring sea. No
mesaure less heroic than this, it is said, can
prevent the ultimate extinction of seal life
in these northern waters.
Secretary Gresham called on Chairman
Savers. of the House appropriations COM
mittee, to-day, to urge that provision to be
made to carry out his accommodation for
payments aggregating $4,000 on account of
claims incurred under the Boring sea agree
ment. Mr.. Savers told him that it would
be considered in committee in connection
with the general deficiency bill.

Union Pacific Bill Considered.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE House COM
mittee on railroads to-day considered the
propositions for a settlement made recent
ly by the representatives of the Union Pa
cific. Francis L. Stettson was present dur

fully the views of the company. From the
tenor of the talk it seemed improbable that
any radical changes from the plan in the
Reilly bill will be made, although minor
amendments are under consideration. The

not seem to find much favor. The Reilly
bill provides that in the event of default

Faure,s Reception in Paris.

PARIS, Jan. I'm. Faure took a train
at the Versailles station and arrived at
the st. Lazare station at 9 p. m. A ma
jority of the Senators and Deputies had
preceded him. Gardes Republicaines
formed a guard of honor at the st. Lazare
station, where barriers had been expected,
owing to the enormous crowd of people
that had gathered outside awaiting the
arrival of the new President Of the Repub-
lie. All the windows looking on the sta
ton were filled with spectators. When the
Presidents train entered the station bugles
sounded, drums beat and the troops pre-
scented arms. NJ. Faure alighted and en-
tered a superb carriage, which was es-
corted by CuiraSsierS. AS soon as the Pres
ident was seen the immense crowd shouted
''Vive la Republique!' "Vive Felix Faure."
The cries were redoubled when Faure or
dered the hood of the carriage to be
thrown back. Hats were waved and the
greatest enthusiasm was displayed. Dupuy
sat beside the President. The cheers of
the throng massed along the footways did
not cease until the carriage of the Presi-
dent reached the Palace of the Elysee.
