been concluded when the Senate ad-
5ourned
After the transaction of routine
morning business the bill for the pro-
lection Of the Indian Territory was laid
before the Senate.
Bate CD OF Tennessee thought the
bill ought to go over, as it was clearly
a violation OF all the. moral and legal
obligations Of the Government to the
Indians of the Territory and the white
citizens who had gone there to live.
The, bill, he said, took away from the
Indians their courts and violated every
treaty that had ever been made with
them by the Government. ei
Consideration was resumed on the
measure providing for the taking of the
twelfth census
Carter (R) Of Montana, in charge OF
the bill, proposed an amendment pro-
viding that in addition to the Director
and Assistant Director of Census and
of FIVE expert statisticians. not more
than twenty-five persons shall be ap-
pointed to the census establishment be-
fore January /, 1899.
Cockrell CD of Missouri accepted
this amendment, in lieu of those Of
agreed to.
Cockrell offered an amendment strik-
ing out the provision that the census
force should be subjected to such ex-
animation as the Director, with the ap-
proval of the Secretary Of the Interior,
may prescribe. In lieu thereof, he pro-
posed that the employees should be ex-
amined and certified by the Civil Ser
vice Commission.
Without passing upon the amend
ment the Senate, at 5:O5, on motion OF
German CD of Maryland, adjourned.

Invite Offers for the Issue.
WASHINGTON, June 7.-Prepara-
tions are substantially complete 1t the
Treasury Department to invite offers
for the bonds for carrying on the Span
ish war as soon as the bonds are au-
thorized by Congress. There will not
be a delay of two days in issuing
circular stating the terms under which
the bonds are offered and inviting bids
at par. Envelopes have already been
prepared, addressed to every national
bank, to the Postmaster at every mon
ey order office, and to the representa-
tives of certain express companies who
have offered to aid in the placing Of
the loan.
The circulars announcing the loan
will be placed in these envelopes and
dispatched as soon as the exact terms
of the Act Of Congress are known. 1t
is the present intention to offer $500,
100000 in bonds at once, reserving the
right to issue an additional 800, ,0OO,-
600 under the proposal Of the minority
of the Finance Committee, in case an
additional issue becomes necessary.
Thirty days will probably be given
for receiving bids before the loan is
allotted. Ahotments will be made at
once however. for the full amount Of
all bids for one thousand dollars or
less. 1t is not anticipated that these
will reach a, sufficient amount to alb
sorb the whole loan. but it is desired to
give the preference TO small bidders.
