In the House.

Washington, July with final adj
journment probable to-day, the house
worked under high pressure from noon
yesterday until far into the night.
The conference report on the Philip
pine civil government BILL which is
considered the last obstacle in the way
OF adjournment, was adopted by a
strict party vote with the single ex-
ception of Mr.. Mccall of Massachu-
sets, who voted with the Democrats.
partial report on the general de-
lciency appropriation bill was adopted
and after a prolonged fight the house,
by vote of lis TO 10l accepted the SEN
ate amendment to appropriate 100000
for the Buffalo exposition and then
sent the bill back to conference. The
senate amendments TO appropriate
$500 900 for the Charleston exposition
and 81, 600 900 to pay the Hawaiian fire.
buboniC plague awards was defeated,
the former by a vote of II 10 llS. Sub
sequently. at the night session, the
house reversed itself and assented 10
the senate amendment making an APP
preparation for the Charleston eXposi-
ton. Numerous bills were passed under
suspension of the rules, including the
Senate bill to allot lands in the Chero-
kee nation and to provide corporation
laws for Alaska.
At the evening session the Dick
militia bill which is TO be used as
stop gag for the remainder of the ses-
sion while the house is waiting for
conference reports, was taken up.
The adjournment resolution Is to be
withheld until the conference report on
the Philippines bill is adopted by the
senate.
In the senate.
Hot words passed between Mr.. Bailey
of Texas and Mr.. Beverage of Indiana
on-the floor of the senate yesterday,
and after adjournment was followed up
by a physical assault by the Texas
senator on the senator from Indiana.
Mr.. Bailey criticised the state depart
ment for its handling of the case of an
American citizen, DR.. Scott. and re-
Elected on the competency of Judge
Penfeld, solicitor of the department.
Mr.. Beveridge characterized the
words of the Texas senator as IAN un-
warranted attack"
This characterization Mr.. Bailey re-
garded as an insult and demanded that
indiana senator withdraw his words
Mr.. Beveridge declined TO withdraw
them unless Mr. Bailey first withdrew
his language in respect to solicitor Pen
field. although ne disclaimed any in
tention of insulting Mr.. Bailey.
The trouble grew out of a resolution
offered by Mr.. Bailey calling for the
papers in a Mexican mining case, in
which he maintained DR.. Scott had
been unfairly treated, not only by the
Mexican courts. but also by the Ameri-
can ambassador, Mr.. Clayton, and the
officials of the state department Mr..
Bailey declared Amba ssador Clayton
was either incompetent or dishonest
and his remarks led to some tart re-
Joinders.
Early in the session Mr.. Elkins of
West Virginia delivered an earnest
speech in favor of the annexation of
Cuba, maintaining that II would be TO
the best interests of both countries.
Among the many bills passed was
ono giving Rear Admiral Schley the
pay and allowance Of a rear admiral On

INTOXICATING
LIQUORS
Cannot be Sold by Sheriff
or Other Officers,
EVEN UNDER EXECUTION
Within Territory Affected by the
Provisions of the Four Mile Law,
Because it is Contraband Goods.

McMinnville, Tenn, Jan. 13.-II
the Circuit Count this morning Judge
M. ID. Smallman delivered an opinion
in the case of the town of McMinnville
VS.. w. V. d. Miller. Sheriff of Warren
County, for selling the liquors of J. w.
Brinkley, saloonist. under an execu-
ton. The case was appealed by Sheriff
Miller from the Recorders Court,
where he had been fined $25 and costs.
The case involved the question, "Can
Sheriff sell under execution intoxi-
eating liquors within territory affected
by the provisions of the four mile law,
and in which. if the sale had been
made by an individual. he would be
guilty of misdemeanor2'
The Judge decided the question in
the negative, holding in an exhaustive
opinion, that such sales by the sheriff
were clearly in violation of law; that
a eale of intoxicating liquors by any
person whatsoever to consumer to be
used as a beverage, was violation of
the law in the territory to which ssthe
four-mile law extends. The court
held that the Sheriff or person acting
under judicial process could not sell or
convey title to any property which the
Judgment debtor could not himself sell
or convey; that the court would not
use its process to effect the sale of
which by law are contrabaad
in the hands Of the owner, and in
which the owner has not sufficient
rights as to permit him to
effect sale of same; "that which the
owner himself cannot sell cannot on
or attachment be sold by the
Sheriff =

The defendant appealed to the Su-
)reme Court.

A SPUNkY JUDGE.
Bounces Grand Jury for Failure to
Indict Liquor Sellers.

McMinnville, Tenn, Jan. 9.-The
crowd in the Circuit Court room this
NOR ing was treated to an unexpected
proceeding that created quite sensa
ton, when Judge M. ID. Smallman per-
emptcrily and unceremoniously dis
charged ten of the thirteen grand Ju-
rOrs. The remarks of the Judge in
taking this action were rather caustic
ana pointed. He charged that they
had ignored cases bound over to them
where the testimony was clear and un-
equivocal.
A new grand jury was Immediately
empaneled, and to them the couit de-
livered a charge which for vigorous
language, plain statement and positive
terms has seldom been equaled here.
He directed the Attorney General to
prepare and submit to them new bills
of Indictment in the cases which had
been ignored by the original grand jury
and to pay no attention whatever to
the acts of that jury in those matters.
AS soon as the grand jury was en-
paneled Monday it was openly charged
that they would refuse to find true bills
against the saloonists and others who
had persisted in selling liquor after
McMlnnv1lle voted dry last Novem
Der, and that the cases against w. D.
Hughes for selling liquor without
license would be squelched. So yester-
day afternoon when the grand jury
failed to indict Hughes on plain case
Of liquor selling without license, and
refused to indict Henry Bonner, col
ored, on equally as plain case for sell
ing liquor in violation of the four mile
law, the temperance people here. COM
posing three fourths of the towns pop
began to look blue and saw
that unless the Judge took the "bit
in his teeth nothing would be done
to punish violators of the anti Liquor
laws. But the action of the Judge this
morning makes it practically certain
that these indictments will be found.
Since the new jury was empaneled it
IS understood that indictments have
been returned against Harry Bonner
md W. d. Hughes for selling liquor.
