Reed Lets Down the Bars.

Washington. D. c., Feb. s.
For the first time in three years
Speaker Reed let down the bars to-
day and allowed the pie counter to
be opened to the representatives
with bills appropriating money for
public buildings. There was a
wild scramble 70 get in on the
scheme, and the log rolling" on
the floor was the liveliest since the
river and harbor bill was put
through. The omnibus measure
was increased to rs bills and a to-
tai appropriation of $11, 900. 900.
Before the house met today Re-
preventative. Dockery said that he
intended to oppose all the bills
which should be offered that did
not have special merit. The drain
on the treasury would be great,
and care should be taken to keeI
out all jobs.

the decision of the Court of Claims
in the case of the Choctaw and
CHI skasaw Indians against the
United States and the Wichita and
affiliated bands of Indians for the
ownership of the Kiowa and Co
manche lands which are proposed
to be thrown open to settlement.
In the decision as handed
down the dissenting opinion was
printed as the opinion of the court
and therefore the opinion printed
was not the full opinion of the
court but the dissenting opinion
of Judge Pelle. The decision sus-
tanned the claims of the ChOctaws
and Chickasaws. In its decision
the court says: I'VE hold the ces-
sion in the treaty of 1866 was not
intended to divest the Choctaws
and Chickasaws of all their inter-
est in the leased district, but we
intended to enlarge the scope Of
the ninth article of the treaty of
1855. Hence a trust must be inn
piled in favor of the claimants un-
der the terms of the grant. And,
when, after refusing to ratify the
full treaty. Congress appropriated
sums sufficient to cover the amounts
to be paid under article 46 of the
agreement and the Choetaws and
Chickasaws took the money, the
character of the transaction could
not be changed by their acceptance
of the consideration. If the ces-
sion was not absolute, but one in
trust, the payments could not OPP
crate as an estoppel. If any part
of the consideration provided foi
in article three was received as an
advance not in payment for land.
but for another purpose, whether
for the benefit of freedmen or for
securing a government into which
large numbers of other Indians
were to come an0 to share, the
Choctaws and the ChIckasaws can
not be held to be estopped by re-
ceiving the consideration. And,
finally, if they receive the consid-
Grafton upon the same understand,
ing that every administrative Off

claimed as to the character of the
transaction. their acts cannot bt

CATTLEMEN WILL MEET
A Range Cattle Exhibition at
the Stock Yards.
LIVE STOCK CONVENTION
1t Will Be the First Instance of Selling
Cattle by Sample Many Cities
in the Field for the
Next Meeting.

Denver Col. Jan. 11.-Great interest
is being manifested throughout the
West over the coming meeting of stock
men here during the week of Jan. %.
Besides the National Live Stock con-
yention range cattle exhibition is to
be held at the stockyards, the first ex-
hibition of the kind ever held in the
country. Already there have been over
80 cars of cattle entered and the indica-
tons are that there will be about so
carloads Of calves, yearlings and 2-year-
old steers. These cattle are range bred
and have never tasted any feed but
grass and hay.
In addition to the cattle for exhibition
it is expected that there will be large
number of stockers and feeders here
for sale and arrangements have been
made for an exhibition of thoroughbred
bulls also. A large number of cattle
feeders and range men are expected to
be present and a new feature in the cat
tie business will be cattle trading by
sample. Most of the cattle on exhibition
will be samples of big herds on the
range and the owners will try to con-
tract their cattle by showing the sample
lots. The cattle for exhibition are COM
ing from all the Western cattle states
included in the Rocky mountain coun-
try.
1t is expected that there will be
struggle in the national convention for
the location of the meeting next year.
Among the cities that will be in the field
for the location are Chicago, St. Paul,
Omaha, Kansas City, st. Joseph, San
Antonio, Fort Worth and Salt Lake.
Denver has had the meeting for two
years and will not be candidate this
year.
large attendance of stockmen and
railroad men is expected from all sec
tons of the country, especially from the
Western range country. Many of the
stockmen are coming here for the pur-
pose of trading as well as for the pleas
ure Of attending the convention and the
cattle trade for the season of 1899 will
be opened at that time. There Is much
interest to know how Southern cattle
will sell, as there will be big de-
mand from the Northwest this year, and
at the present time there is a difference
of nearly IS per head between what the
buyers want to pay and what the
Southern breeders demand. Prices will
probably reach basis during the con-
VentiOn.

ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
Two Women Are Included With Miller
in the Charge.

in the Charge.
Suisun, Cal, Jan. 12.--Accustomed as
is this town to sensations, it was hardly
prepared to-day for the arrest of w. J.
Miller, accused Of the murder of Daniel
Wilson, more than two years ago. Mil
Ter was the brother-in-law of Wilson,
who was shot down at his own door one
October night, and his incarceration
was quickly followed by the arrest of
Mrs. Addie Wilson, the divorced wife
of the murdered man, and of Mrs. Eliza
beth Dickinson, mother Of Mrs. Wilson;
and of Miller the latter supposed to
have fired the fatal shot and the two
women to have planned the murder
with him. Miller, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs.
Dickinson were arraigned to-day before
a justice of the peace. All three vehem-
emily protested their innocence. The
preliminary examination was continued
to give the prosecution time to procure
the attendance of necessary witnesses.
Miller asked for an early examination
intimating that he will endeavor to
prove an alibi. When the three prison.
ers were taken back to the county Jail
the women were exceedingly nervous,
sobbing bitterly In swearing to the
complaints Sheriff Savage asserted that
he possessed evidence sufficiently strong
to satisfy tardy justice. The theory of
the sheriff is that the murder was COM
mitted SO that Mrs Wilson might Sc
cure possession of Wilson's ranch,
which, it was believed, he intended to
deed to a woman who had supplanted
Mrs. Wilson in his affections.

of the Assabet wooden mills and the open
ing of heavyweight goods have occupied
most of the attention of the trade. The
prices at which goods are offered, which
range from to 10 per cent. below last
seasons figures, are regarded by the wool
trade as establishing a solid foundation
for a future appreciation in values for
manufactured products and thus afford
ing pretty good assurance that there is
to be this season an absence of cancella-
tions from the clothing trade. The season
is opening slowly. but that in itself is

from Delaware rererring to Mr. Gray,
one of the peace commissioners. We
made a protocol some time in August
under which we are still living with
SPAIN
Hoar then read from the protocol
showing that the United States would
hold the bay, harbor and city of Manila
until the disposition of the Philippine
islands could be determined.
THAT clearly implied said Mr.. Hoar
that we will make no advance upon
Spain or the Spanish people on the ISL
ands until the situation shall have been
changed. If now we have the power to
use the military forces against the Fill
pinos, where does it come from?'
Mr.. Gray, at whom the question of
Mr.. Hoar seemed to be directed, rose and
said:
IT wish to remark that the question
of the senator from Massachusetts an.
swers in part the position taken in his
remarks by the senator from Nebraska
tMr. Allen.)'
Still at War.
After pointing out the reasons why
this was true, in his opionion, Mr.. Gray
said that technically we We're still at
war with Spain. 1t was true that we
were living under a truce, but in pur-
suing the war the president was simply
conferred upon him by the War-maklng
power. He pointed out that the only
question that could arise would be as
to whether We We're, in making war up
on the Filipinos, violating the protocol
and If there were such violation it
would be a matter between the United
States and Spain without referring to
anybody else.
Mr. Hoar commended that it was a
breach of faith to attack Spain at
Iloilo, and bad policy to attack Aguin-
aldo Mr.. Allen replied to Mr.. Gray,
asserting that Spain had no purisdic-
ton in the Philippines, and that Agutn-
aldos government was the only gov
eminent there. His government was
both a de facpo and de jure govern
ment. and it had maintained itself for
several years. Therefore. the United
States did not succeed to SPANS title to
the islands.
Mr. Gray replied that evidently Mr..
Allen was laboring under a misap-

prehension, that this country was tech
nically at war with Spain until the
peace treaty was completed. 1t was
true that active military operations had
ceased, and for this reason the United
States was under the highest obliga-
ton to maintain good faith in the OBJ
servation to the terms of the protocol.
Mr.. Allen spoke briefly in reply to
Mr.. Gray, reiterating his position and
asking for the immediate consideration
of his resolution. Mr.. Gallinger OBJ
1ected and the resolution went over.
At $40 o'clock, on motion of Mr.. Davis,
chairman OF the committee on foreign
relations, the senate went into eXecu-
