Washington, Jan. 27.-In the house today a bill was passed making Santa Fe, N. M., the permanent capital of that terri tory.
 Mr. Hit, chairman of the foreign af- fairs committee, reported from his com mittee with the recommendation that it lie on the table, the Lewis resolution call ing upon the president for the authority under the constitution under which he ne- gotiated a treaty that will bind the treas ury to pay $4000,000 to the Hawaiian bond holders. The democrats manifested a de- sire to discuss the report, but the question was not debatable and the vote was taken by ayes and nays upon the demand of MT. Dinsmore (dem.) of Arkansas, the senior minority member of the foreign affairs committee.
 The report was adopted and the resolu- tion laid on the table-143 to 101.
 Quigg Comes Back.
 At this juncture MT. Quigg (rep) of New York, as a question of privilege, re- piled to Mr. Louds charge, made yester- day during the controversy over the ap- propriation for letter carriers that he (QulSSD Sldleu WDdL WdS untrue WHen dlG said that the prospective deficiency was the exact sum which the appropriation in the current law was below the estimates of the department.
 Mr. Loud declared that he stood by his statement yesterday.
 The house then went into committee of the whole and resumed consideration of the Indian appropriation bill.
 Mr. Hartman (silver rep.) of Montana got the floor on a pro forma amendment. He ridiculed Secretary Gage's definition of bimetallism in the latters speech at Phil adelphia on Tuesday, The republican party, he said, foreclosed it's right to use the term bimetallism when the St. Louis platform was adopted.
 Republicans Denounced by Their Own,
 The whole drift of the purpose and in- tent of this administration had been avowed and proclaimed by Secretary Gage before the banking committee; it was to irrevocably commit the government to the gold standard.
 The bill he said, never had the indorse- ment of republican platform or a repub- lican caucus. 'I was then, said he, lone of little band of rebels soemnly pledged to vote against the bill Must before the vote was taken we counted noses and numbered 72 I rejoiced that the bill was beaten. The cloak rooms were filled with the mutterings of rebellion against the domination of those in control. Then sud- denly the party whip began to crack and l saw the slaves file out of the cloak room. one after another, and vote for the bill, the bill their consciences condemned. In this house." he continued, i've should change the oath. Instead of taking an oath to support protect and defend the constitution of the United States and per- form our duties to the best of our abilities, we should at the opening of each session swear to support, protect and defend the constitution provided we can obtain the consent of the leading nations of the earth and to perform our duties of the speaker will permit us so to do."
 Probably Had Them Mixed.
 Again MT. Hartman adverted to the mutterings he had heard in the cloak rooms against the tyranny exercised by the speaker. "I have told these com- plainants," said MT Hartman, time and again that if they did not like the tyranny of the speaker they should shear him of his power"
 q am afraid the gentleman from Mon- tana has got his CLOAK rOOHS ullAeu, IT. terposed MT. Quigg (rep. N. Y)
 Perhaps I have,' retorted Mir Hartman. "But I give notice that those who are mixing their cloak rooms now will do so in 1898 and 1900 and triumph eventually in the declaration of the Chicago platform and under the leadership of William J. Bryan." Prolonged democratic and pop ulst applause)
 MT. DeArnopd (dem. Mo), criticised the Cuban policy of the administration, and with fine sarcasm ridiculed the official ex planation of the visit of the battleship Maine to Havana harbor.
 The Biil Passed.
 Without further amendment the commit. tee rose and the Indian bill was passed. The house then immediately went back into committee and took up the District of Columbia appropriation bill. The general debate drifted quickly into the question as to whether prosperity had come with the Dingley law.
 Mir. Greene (pop) of Nebraska said that
