SHORT, But SPIRITED.

Senator Tillman Criticized Mr.. Nor
gan, Who Resented the Use of Ger
tain Words.
Senators Tillman Of South Carolina and
Morgan of Alabama had spirited debate
in the Senate this afternoon.
Mr.. Tillman declared that Mr.. Morgan's
proposition to give public lands to the
states was a pean to ''gobble the public
domain
Mr.. Morgan warmly resented the state
ment. saying he was not amenable to the
rules applying to ''gobblers.'
Mr.. Tillman also referred to stealing
the lands of one state for the use of an
other.
Mr. Morgan protested against the use of
"Gobling" and Stealing and said it was
the first time in his service in the Senate
that he had been taken off the floor by in
terruptiors personally offensive.
Mr.. Tillman disclaimed any purpose to
be discourteous, and the incident closed.
The Senate agreed to vote on the free
homestead bill at 3 o'clock tomorrow, and
at 3:10 pm. adjourned.
The homestead bill releases settlers on
public lands acquired from Indians from
the payments now required by law, and
also gives free homesteadS on such lands
not now occupied.
An amendment was offered by Mr.. Nor
gan giving all public lands, not taken up
by homesteaGs entry on January 1. 1890,
20 the several states and territories for
educational purposes.

ton he gave an opinion that he had been

for street sweeping will shortly be ready
for distribution. The specifica tions will call
for bids for period ef two, three and five
years contract. although there is little
doubt that the Commissioners will not con-
slider any but the bids for the short term
They are convinced that the bill now pend
Ing in Congress will become a law, which
will insure municipal control of street
sweeping. and they are not desirous of pro-
longing that time by tying themselves up in
contract. The bids asked are for the pur-
pose OF getting the best figures, although
1t is said they have no idea Of awarding a
contract for longer period than two wears.

dent has been called to the action of the
ex-Congressman regarding the speakership
