poses Of ascertaining the situation in

Snake, the Creek leader, informed the
full-blood Choctaws that the presi-
dent authorized him to advise his
people that they might re-establish
their governments under the treaty
OF March "A, 1892, These Indians also
claim that Latah Niece has q letter
from the department promising adj
hercnce to all treaties, which they
construc to Justify their contention
for the treaty of 1892. Roberts. who
appeared perfectly cool and deliber-
ate, stated that he had appointed
horsemen and sheriff for Atoka
county and that no interference
would be made with United States
officials or their employees. Daniel
Bell has been chosen principal chief

ent tribal government. The commits

military authority may result serious
ly."

following reply: "You will advise
Bell and Roberts that Latah Micco's
statement is untrue. Department

THE SHIPPING BILL.
Senators Rawlins and Berry Wig.
orously Oppose the Measure.
HOUSE PASSES OMNIBUS CLAIMS BILL
Said to BE for stores and Supplies Taken by
the Union Army During the Rebellion
Several Other Bills Of Minor I'M
pOrtance Also Passed.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The shipping
bill was kept steadily at the front in
the senate yesterday and, in order to
further expedite its progress, mo-
ton was agreed to for session be-
ginning at Ii a. m. to-day. Senators
Rawlins, of Utah, and Berry, of Arkan-
sas, occupied most Of the time in
speeches of vigorous opposition. To-
ward the close of the day a spirited
discussion was precipitated by an
amendment offered by Senator Clay,
of Georgia, proposing to link the Mic
aragua canal bill with the shipping
bill The proposition was strongly
opposed by Senator Frye and Senator
Chandler as calculated to embarrass
and delay the shipping bill. Senator
Frye appealed to senators to permit
the majority, after fair debate, to as
sumo its responsibilities, as Il nVjor-
ity, of passing the shipping bill.
Senators Jones, of Arkansas, and
Teller, of Colorado, took hand in the
discussion insisting that there should
be no limitation of debate. Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, in charge of the
Nicaragua canal bill, expressed disap-
proval of the plan for linking the ca
nal measure with the shipping bill,
saying each should stand on itsmerits.
Senator Gallinger presented a reso-
luton providing for joint commit
tee, to be composed of the chairmen
of the senate committee on pensions
and the house committee on invalid
pensions, to make careful inquiry into
the question of special pension legis-
lation. Senator Gallinger expressed
the opinion that the scope Of con-
gressional action In such matters had
been overstepped entirely and that
under the present practice Il pension
bureau is being established under the
dome of the capitol He said that in
the present congress there had been
1888 special pension bills in the senate
and that with the general bills and
house bills the senate pension com
mittee had been asked 80 far to take
up about 5000 bills. One senator, he
said, had introduced 1872 bills and an
other 145. The resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on pensions.
The house yesterday passed. an
omnibus bill carrying 1O1 claims for
stores and supplies taken by the
union army during the rebellion. The
claims were passed on by the court OF
claims and aggregated $344,4sO. Prac.
tically the benefciaries reside in the

A FIRE At A "zOo,"
Seventy.Five Animals In Bcstock's

CAUSED BY ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRE.
Only Few of the Animals In the Build
Ing Saved-Two Lives Lost In
New York Hotel

Baltimore, Nd, Jan. 31.-The rs or
more animals Of all descriptions con-
fined in cages at Frank Bostock's
800" which was in winter quar-
ters in this city, were burned to
death last night. A fire which prob
ably originated from badly insu-
lated electric light wire on the out
side of the building caused the con-
fagration, which in an incredibly
short time enveloped the entire struc-
ture. The flames spread so rapidly
that it was impossible for the at
tendants to rescue the helpless ami
mails and with the exception of one
elephant, one camel, two donkeys and
pack of hounds, the entire herd was
lost. Mr.. Bostock estimates his loss
on animals at about 100000. The loss
on the building probably is $4,000 or
$4,000.

fore COuncil, although it is said it was
the intention of q majority OF the mem
bers OF that body to raise his salary.
During the past few days 1t has been
reported on the street that Chief Pe,tey
had recommended to the finance CON-
mittee the reduction in the amount
of the increase asked by the
