Bill Against Viyisection.


The chaplain of the Senate, in his open
mig suppIication yesterday, invoked the
Divine blessing upon Queen Victoria and
prayed for continuation of her long and
CONNIE ndabie reign.
Senator Galiinger, Ia a brief address
called forth by protests to his anti-yivisec-
ton bill, spoke strongly against what he
termed the vicious habit Of filing memorials
and protests after both sides hal been
heard by the committee, and after tie
findings had been published in full The
Senator explained the introduction OF
his bill at the last session against yivisec-
ton.
Hearings were accorded the opponents
OF the bill, but at the time when the CON-
mittee fayorably reported the measure
those favorable to vivisection had filed
protests, and had rcvie wed The committees $
report He charged that in doing so the
facts had been nilsstat ted in some instances.
He introduced the bill again this session
and again haveits opponents Come forward
with protests which they desire to be
printed asdocuments Reference wasmade
to the protest filed yesterday and another
one offered by Senator Proctor today.

that thcse papers should be print at Gov
ernment expense.
A resolution Offered Tuesday by Sena-
Tor Quay relating to the allotment OF Ger
tain lands TO the Choctaw, Chickasaw and
Wichita tribes Of indians, and the payment
to the tribes of certain sum which is nov
in dispute in the Court of Claims provoked
a small controversy started by Senator Pet
tigTew. He objected To the resolution,
which, he said. had not been referred to
the Committee on Indian Affairs
Senator Jones stated his view of the
matter. The controversy was as TO whom
should be paid the money for lands be-
longing to the Wichita tribe and not set
tied or occupied. Some OF the land belong.
ing to the Wichita tribe was occupied by
other tribes. With the consent of Senator
Quay the matter went over until today.
Senator Allison asked immediate Ton
sideration of a resolution appropriating

ing and binding. 1t was explained that
unless this money was appropriated ne
fore many days the Public Printer would
