The papers that were criticising the
REGISTER for its position on the ques.

their cackling now as they were then.

were led to the money box in the Office the
box being fastened to a partition The box
was knocked from its fastenngs and carried
from the building. The bondage fell from
the eyes of the witness and he positively
identified Patrick Dalton as one Of the
burglars. George II. Dnnmock, railroad
engineer, identified Zollner, Gaughan, Dal-
ton and Cummings, alias Western Red" a" as
four of the robbers.

SENATE
BILLS !
Nearly Eight Hundred Presented
During Yesterdays Session.
SOME OF TIE MOST IMPORTANT.
They Include Pacific Cable Bnl and
Measures For Postal savings Banks,
Government telegraph. an Income
Tax aud Election of Senators.

Washington. Dec 7.-Nearly 500
bills and joint resolutions, several I'm
portant concurrent resolutions and pc
titions numbering hundreds were pre-
sented to the senate yesterday Some
of the bills-a majority OF them in
fact-were old stagers which had been
introduced In the last congress or in
previous congresses. A vast number
of them were Of minor Importance. but
few were of national interest and
consequence.
Mr.. Aldrich had the honor OF in
PRODUCING the first measure in the SEN
ate. II was the financial bill drawn
by the senate committee on finance,
Of which Mr. Aldrich Is chairman and
probably was the most important
measure introduced during the day
Resolutions were offered providing
for an investigation by the judiciary

recently presented in connection with
what is known as the Roberts case:
expressing the sympathy of the senate
for the Beers in their war with Great
Britain, and declaring that Senator
n. B. Scott, of West Virginia, is not
entitled to a seat in the senate
Mr.. Harris. Kansas Populist, was
appointed a temporary member OF the
committee on privileges and elections
The appointment is important and sig
nihcant because the committee has
under consideration the Quay, Clark
and Scott contests Senator Harris
has been generally regarded as an
tagOnistic as to the right of a gov
ernOr to fill a senatorial vacancy where
the legislature fails TO elect, and as the
committee is close, so far as can be
surmised from the records of senators,
his vote may determine the character
of the report TO be submitted to the
senate for its action in Senator Quays
case.
Among the bills introduced were the
following:
By Mr.. Hale, for the construction of
Pacific cable by the navy depart
ment, to be operated by the postoffice
department and appropriating s11,-
600 900 for this purpose.
