VOL. IX. JACK FROST'S JUBILEE. Cold Wave Interfering With Trains and Causing Discomfort Throughout the Northwest. Gov. Pierce Kept Twenty-Two Hours On the "Way Prom Bismarck to Pargo by a Blizzard. Dakota Legislators Reluctant to Pro ceed "With Business While Ladies Are Present. Norrisli Confirmed—Church "Will Probably Get There 10-Morrow —Minnesota Dairymen. Special to the Globe. Huron, Dak., Feb. 3.—The weather yesterday and last night was the most dis agreeable experienced here for years. Tho velocity of the wind was twenty-five miles an hour. It blew from the northwest, pil ing the snow in high drifts. Trains were all "pended and no mails were sent out yesterday. The wind ceased during the night, and at 7 this rio-.,mg the mercury marked -_S ° below. Trains were sent out on the various lines to-day, but none except one from the west arrived. They will be through to-morrow. No reports of suffering by set tlers on the prairies hays been received,but it will be surprising if all have escaped the severity of the past thirty-six hours. For tunately plenty of fuel can be had at all I the stations west and north, where the storm is reported more severe than here or further east. AT -Ml X. FALLS. Special to the Globe. Sioux Falls. Dak., Feb. 3.—A1l the trains on the several mads leading to Sioux Falls, excepting the Burlington, were knocked out-day. The Sioux City train failed to reach here on account of a de railed freight engine below Canton. It is thought all the lines will be open to-mor- ; row. The weather is very cold but there is no wind. The thermometer registered a ! tcmpeiature of 22° below zero at 10 o'clock ' to-night, and still sinking. AT SIOUX CITY. Special to the Globe. Sioux Citx, la., Feb. 3.—Sioux City is j again in the midst or a blockade. There have bufii no trains in on the Illinois Cen tral, Chicago & Mbrthwestern or Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis' & Omaha roads to day, a»et almost __1 trains on th*other lines are behind time. Governors tit I'argo, Special to the Globe. Fargo, Dak., Feb. 3.—Gov. Church. Hon. M. 11. Day and many other notables on their way to Bismarck, reached this city this forenoon, and have been detained here all day mi account of the snow blockades between Fargo and Bismarck. The road was opened this evening and the train went j west. Gov. Church was interviewed and | said he had woid from the East that there ; would be no further trouble about his con- I Urination. He will sit with the supreme j court on the trial of one or two casts. Gov. Pierce reached here at 7 p. in., being twen ty-two hours on the road from Bismarck, and has gone east. '!'__.: K.NJI li-CEC SOLONS. They Modestly Wait the Departure of Two Women Hcfore I'assiug a Bill mi a Delicate Subject* Special to the Globe. ' Bismarck, Dak., Feb. 3.The mercury to-night has dropped down' to 30° below j zero, but the blizzard has died out and there are promises of tolerable weather. The train from the east is fifteen hours late and it is not known when the one from the west will be here. Business is almost at a stand still, and were it not for the legislature and supreme court the town would be dead. To-day the business transacted by both houses of the legislature was light. The rooms were cold and an early adjournment was. taken. A splendid ex hibition of the innate modesty of the aver age Dakota citizen was given in the council to-day. when the house bill raising the age of consent in females from 10 to 12 years came tip for consideration. There were two ladies in the room at the time, and modest Ted Kingsbury, the chief clerk. couldn't stand the pressure, and sought refuge in the cloak room. The bill was dropped for a time, but it finally became necessary to take it. up, when, blushing deeply, Mr. McCumber arose and moved that it be laid over until an opportunity came when he could discuss it as he saw fit to. The ladies finally left, and the bill was taken up and passed, FIXING the AGE OF CONSENT at 12 years. Another bill asking tor the lo cation of a soldiers' home showed up in the council to-day. It asks that the home be set down near the enterprising townsite of Frankfort. There are so many bills of this nature now before the two bodies that the death ed some of them is an assured fact. If any of the bills pass this session it will provide on for location and will have to go begging for an appropriation. Business in the house was terribly dull and the members were nine in the face. Their teeth chattered and they seemed to be principally disposed to get warm. There was but one bill introduced in the house and that was the repeal of some law of but little importance. A council bill providing for the burial of soldiers and sailors who served in the late war was passed. Tins with second reading and the reference of several bills completed the business transacted in this body. The council bill authorizing and empowering the organized counties of Dakota to issue and dispose of bonds to provide funds to pay outstanding indebtedness and to provide for the payment of the principal and interest thereof, passed the house. There is a jeal ousy growing up between the house and council over the fact that the council gives but little attention to house bills sent to that body for passage. They are usually referred to various committees that neglect to report them back, and the house charges that they examine bills, get the points and introduce bills themselves, covering the same points and perhaps others. The house has got an idea that the council should pass every hill just as they send it to them, and the council reserves the right to amend as it sees tit. This CREATES SOME FEELING between the members of the two bodies that may break out in bad shape before the ses sion closes. Mrs. Packard, the well-known philanthropist and advocate of woman suf frage issue, is here from Chicago, and an nounces her intention of taking part in the law making before the session closes. She has a uill with her which she proposes to introduce. It provides for rights and protection for in "cldes of jails, penitentiaries and insane asylums. She has pitched her tent in the field and given it out that she proposes to stay with the gang awhile. It is expected she will be granted the privilege of the floor and given a chance to cut a swath for herself. Petitions yards in length are being received by different members from the rural" districts asking for such legislation as will give the whisky traffic a black eye. One came up to-day, to J. V. White, of Clay county, signed by 400 residents of that part of the country, and an accompanying letter regretted that lack of time had prevented the list being swelled to thousands. Unless the temper ance issue throws some life into the' work, this session of the legislature will pass very quietly and in strong contrast to the rip roaring session two years age). Tee Aitcil !\'orri*h ana Church. Special to the Globe. Washington, Feb. 3.—Surveyor Gen eral Norrisb was confirmed this afternoon by the senate without opposition. A favor able report was made in Judge Church's case, but no action taken. This was the first executive session held by the senate this week. Probably another secret session will be held Saturday, when Church's con firmation will doubtless take place. Minnesota I>AI B_ VMEIV. I., (i. roller Elected President"ln teresting Discussions—The Even ii>{_*>» Banquet. Albert Lea, Feb. 3.—The morning session opened at 10 a. m. with a good at tendance. The report of the committee recommending the consolidation of the tw< associations was unanimously adopted. The committee on essays reported that essay? of Mrs. M. U. Lamb and Mrs. V. C. Holmes were both so good that they recommended that the premium be equally divided be tween them. The ofiicers elected were E. G. Potter, president; Fiank Gifford, lirsl vice president; C. E. Marion, second vice president; T. D. Holmes, secretary; M. Johnson, Albert Lea; 11. C. Howard, Minneapolis; S. M. Emery, Lake City, and J. T. Ames, Korthfield, executive commit tee. Mr. Levescunte read a paper on "Dairy ing on the Island of Jersey, reviewing the history of the island. The superiority of Jersey cattle is due to 800 years" breed ing for a special purpose. The character istic of the business was uniformity e>f the product. Mr. Cherry, of Cedar Rapids. gave a practical system of testing milk, ex hibiting instruments and explaining them. A resolution was adopted thanking Presi dent Northrop for explaining the work of the agricultural college, expressing confi dence in the management and recommend ing a committee from this association to j consult with management about, dairy mat ters, the committee to consist of John T. Ames, Nortlifield; Mart Tousley, Le Sueur; and L. H. Stanton. Morris. the AFTERNOON session , was called to order by President Potter. M. J. McKenstry, of Winnebago City, made an address on the subject of "Cream eries and Their Products." He said the word had gone forth that he was especially : a creamery man, but that while he had proven the value of creameries, he was an I advocate of every form of good dairying. | He practically demonstrated the milk test i and answered many questions regarding his I theories. It was one of the most satisfac j tory addresses and discussions of the meet [ ing. F. D. Holmes gave his experience in | heating water for cattle. Warm it to CO ° |at first and the cattle will drink freely. lie used a farm steamer and ran the water through pipes to a trough. One day when the pipes broke the cows shrunk seventy pounds of milk. This proves the value of warm water. It will make by actual trial 8 per cent, more butter. Mrs. M. 11. Lamb read her prize essay "How to Make Dairy ing a Success." It was a detailed description of a model system of. home butte.i*making. Ensilage and Its Benefits." was discussed by F. 1). Holmes. The plan is to make an air tight room and fill it with corn fodder, cut green about three-eighths of an inch long. By care in storing it will COME OUT FRESH AND SWEET in the spring, if cut after the dew is off. The room is made of masonry, plastered like a cistern. His cost 9250. A silo can be made of wood, but it is more difficult to make it air tight and is not so permanent. Cream should certainly be churned every day. Mr. Wilkinson, of Owatonna, built a silo of boards and building paper and had good results. He used 1,000 feet of lum ber, and it was fourteen feet deep. Mc- Kinstry's experience with a wood silo was satisfactory. It was the cheapest kind for the prairie:. Mrs. N. C. Holmes read an essay descriptive of home. butter making. Patience, cleanliness and dispatch were the three principal essentials of success. C. S. Dunbar inquired if there was any butter in cows' horns. If not what is the - sense* in them? Why not cut them oil? E. E. Budlong, of Glenville, had cut the horns off forty cattle and was greatly pleased with the results. E.K.Pickett, of Bancroft, believed dehorning should be done with calves aud not after. J. H. Monrad thought a vicious polled cow more dangerous than a horned cow. Budlong said dehorning did cattle gooel. It only hurt miring the pro cess. Cows gave just as much milk. He used no remedy on the wounds. Dehorn ing MAKES CATTLE PEACEABLE and prevents fighting and irritation. 11. C. Howard was decidedly in favor of dehorn ing. C. S. Dunbar illustrated the danger of horns. A general discussion of an hour followed. President Potter read an address on "How to Rid the Market of Poor But ther and Cheese." He said that three years ago it was hard to get enough poor butter and cheese to supply the demand in the Northwest, the good being to high to sell. Now poor butter is a drug in the market. The best is in good demand. The people want good, soft, open cheese. Ed ucation has brought this about. All but 25 per cent, of the 30,000,000 pounds made in Minnesota is now good. A bill was reported by the committee to present to the legislature, asking 81, 000 annually to aid the State Dairymen's asser tion. The report was unanimously adopted. F. 11. Holmes presented a requisition to defray the expenses of efforts in obtaining the passage of the anti-oleo margarine bill. The committee on awards reported PREMIUMS AS FOLLOWS: Class I—Best tub or pail butter, first pre mium, Mrs. V. C. Holmes; second, J. M. Sawyer, Geneva; third, W. A. Egjrleston. Class 2—First premium.

M-fDI-bx, Wis., Feb. 3.—The State Agricultural society, now in session, seems to have got itself into something of a pre dicament because of the action in adopting a resolution favoring a constitutional amendment prohibiting members of the legislature and judges from accepting rail road passes, particulars of which were given in the Globe dispatches of yester day. As stated, a number of solons were very wrathy at the action of the society, claiming that their farmer constituents were by no means backward about worKiue them for all the passes they could. Moreover, BT. PAUL, FRIDAY MORNING; FEBRUARY , 4, 1857. -1 the legislators determined to get even with ; , their rural friends, and in the assembly an ; ironclad resolution of many whereases was ; introduced providing for a constitutional i amendment to forever prohibit farmers ■ from accepting passes, especially those who SO;far forget their'manhood as to solicit them from legislators. Upon learning this the agriculturalists reconsidered their ac tion and A. A. Arnold, of Galesville. of fered a resolution rescinding the resolution of yesterday, which was carried almost unanimously. The society claims that yes > . terday's resolution was sprung upon them - j unawares. ; I . . j Diseased lowa Hogs. i Special to the Globe. jj Mason, City, la..

A New Orleans Woman Who Picked the Pockets of Funeral Attendants. A Saloon Fight at Chicago, Which Ended Seriously For Sev eral Persons. Specials to the Globe. , Boston, Feb. 3.—The Globe to-morrow will print an article signed by one of its staff correspondents.disclosing the details of what is one of the most heartless conspira cies in the annals of crime, and which im measurably strengthens the old adage that fiction stands no chance when truth is up, dressed and ready for business. The infor mation comes direct from relations, who have been for months at work on the plot. Some months ago the news was flashed over the country that Mrs. Malloy, the noted temperance apostle, known and loved by thousands, had been accused of the most immoral practices, had been the associate of social lepers aud an accomplice of prison convicts and a partner in their work. Throughout the West Mrs. Malloy visited many penal insti tutions, exerting a salutory influence, and was prone to speak of her prison boys with whom she regularly corresponded. One of them was George Graham, serving a sen tence for robbery. For him Mrs. Malloy secured a pardon and placed him on a farm at Springfield, which property was left her by friends. During Graham's incarceration his w^fe had procured a divorce. At the farm Graham met, wooed and won Cora 'Lee, Mrs. Malloy's adopted daughter. It soon transpired that prior to his meeting with Cora Lee he had re-entered into a MATRIMONIAL ALLIANCE with his divorced wife. The latter soon appeared on the field and consternation reigned. In the course of time she disap peared and there was no trace of her until a badly decomposed body was found in a well on the Malloy farm. This body was identified by the clothing as Graham's first wife. George Graham, Cora Lee and Mis. Malloy were arrested and tried for the murder. Graham's testimony implicated himself aud the two women. He also tes tified that lie had been on terms of undue intimacy with Mrs. Malloy. The latter proved a partial alibi and was ultimately discharged. Graham was taken from jail by a mob and lynched. Mrs. Malloy' employed detectives upon the case, and after months of labor, they now assert that Mrs. Graham is alive and the body found in the well was exhumed and placed in the well as a result of a conspiracy. When Sarah Graham was first missed it was given out that she had gone to the Pa cific slope to see a brother named Gorham, who is a soldier in the regular army. De tectives were sent to the West to search for her. The commander of the post where Gorham is stationed was communicated with and gave the officers important aid. It was found a woman answering the descrip tion of Sarah Graham was in regular corre spondence with Gorharn. THIS UNKNOWN FEMALE passed as Mrs. Blank. Her hiding place was ascertained to be in a small village in Wyoming territory. In the same village lived a second woman whose real name is ! Blank. Into her < hands fell a letter in tended for the bogus Mrs. Blank, ami in the search for the real owner of the" 7epistle it came out that the said owner was taking extraordinary pains to conceal her identity; that site visited the postofliee only at hours the least liable to be observed, always ap proaching by a rear street and entering by the side door. Having I lost one letter, she gave the postmaster explicit orders regard ing her mail and alsogave him the post marks which her letters would bear. The detect ive showed a photo of Sarah Graham to the postmaster and he immediately identified the photograph as that of the'mysterious Mrs. Blank. The present whereabouts of the woman are not known and a search and arrests are prophesied in the near fu- j ture. The motives of this conspiracy, which l resulted in Graham's lynching and the tar- j .nishing of Mrs. Malloy's fair name is said j to have been a quarrel between Gorham j and Graham regarding the division of cer- j tain spoils and Mrs. Graham's wrath be cause her husband had bestowed his baud upon another woman. Worked the Funerals. New Orleans, Feb. 3.—The police ! have succeeded in getting a pickpocket for | whom they have been looking for years. j During the past tour years over 100 com- i plaints have been lodged with the police of ! pockets being picked at funerals, and it is | probable that these represent only a few of : the victims. At a funeral on Custom Douse j street yesterday r a woman dressed in j handsome mourning, and apparently | very old and feeble, was in attendance, i weeping piteously over her deceaseel friend, and speaking ■ in the most feeling terms of the poor lady. The de ceased, by the by, was a man. The mis- ! take aroused the suspicions of the family. The old lady was watched, and not in vain, j as she pushed her way into the crowd around the coffin, and was seen to deftly and cleverly slip a pocket-book out of the I pocket of one of the mourners. A police- I man was called and the woman arrested. j She proved to be Margaret A. Murphy, who has been living for years in comforta ble and respectable circumstances on the profits of her pocket-picking without arous ing the slightest suspicion. She confined her operations entirely to funerals. A Saloon Fight. Chicago. Feb. 3.—A small riot took place on North Market sheet early this morning, which promised serious results and alarmed the neighbors besides dam aging the saloon which served as the bat • tie ground. A crowd of intoxicated men toe»k possession of Andrew Vader's bar room at No. 273 Market street, shortly after midnight, and closed the front door. | Another crowd came along about 1 o'clock j and demanded admission, hearing the voices ! and seeing the light within. Being refused j and defied by the. occupants, they com menced a fusilade with stones and snow- j balls. This was replied-to from the inside | with bottles and other missiles. Finally a \ sortie was made and pistols ' were drawn j on both sides, a number of shots being | lireei. Police officers came upon the scene as the riot was at its height and arrested seven young men. John Faith, one of the number, had a wound in his arm. All gave bonds for a hearing to-morrow. The Schwartz Trial. Morris. 111., Feb. 3.—The examination of Henry Schwartz for the murder of Ex press Messenger Nichols was continued to day. The crowd and interest were greater than on yesterday.-. A dozen or more em ployes of the express company and railroad are on hand as witnesses. William Pinker- j ton exhibited and identified the black i satchel found by Conductor Danforth and j also the piece of bank cheek found with | the satchel and the rest of the check found j in the rtibbed car. Special Agent Kay, of ! the. Rock Island road, testified to i finding some sandy hair cl tithed in Nichols' hands and bloody fingermarks on ; his watch. Conductor Danforth gave some rather sensational testimony about..the i actions of Schwartz when returning.to Chi- j cago with him on the day after the crime, and concluded: "Schwartz didnot speak . I to me from Seneca to Chicago. He was around the tender and between the baggage | cars without a light, which I thought very queer actions by a brakeman who was elead heading it." Several other witnesses were examined, the drift of whose testimony tended to implicate Schwartz. The justice to-night decided »to hold Schwartz to ap pear before the grand jury as an accessory merely, but concluded not to admit him to bail. Shot His Wife. Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. Boston, a small mining town on the Monongahela river, was the scene of a shooting affray this afternoon in which two persons were wounded, one of them, it is thought, re ceiving fatal injuries. The victim was Mrs. John Ingrain, and the assailant her husband. The shooting was the outcome of a suit for non-support. Mrs. Ingram was on her way to this city, when her hus band appeared at the depot and. without warning, began shooting at her. There were several persons in the station at the time, but before he could be prevented he shot her twice, one ball taking effect in the forehead and the other in her right arm. i The bystanders then interfered, and in the struggle which ensued the enraged man ' shot a man named Fleming in the wrist. ! He was finally overpowered, when it was j found that he had two more revolvers, loaded ami ready for use. on his person. Mrs. Ingram was removed to her home, where she is lying in a critical condition. A Double jtlurdcr. Breslan, L. 1., Feb. 3.—This village and vicinity was thrown into great excite ment over the horrible discovery this morn ing in a house in the back woods, about a mile and a half from the village,of the dead bodies of a man and woman, Germans, whose names have not yet been ascertained. The house is situated some distance oft' the main roads. The man's body was lying in a pool of blood on the floor in a room down stairs with the throat cut from ear to ear. The woman was found in a bedroom up stairs with the head severed from the body. Both had evidently been dead live or six days, as decomposition had already set in. It is suspected that they were murdered and robbed. There is no clue to the perpetra tors of the deed. I'rcf. De Icon's Long Sentence. New York. Feb. 3.—Prof. John De Leon, the astrologer, who was convicted of inducing young girls to go to Panama for immoral purposes, under the pretext of finding employment for them, was to-day brought up in general sessions. Judge Gildersleeve imposed a sentence of fifteen years' imprisonment at hard labor in Sing Sing. This is the maximum punishment of the law. He was convicted of the crime of kidnaping Mrs. Sarah Bowes, who was for tunately rescued while en route to Panama. Krueg Held i'or Trial. Chicago, Feb. 3.—The coroner's jury in the case of Lucy Heidelmeyer brought in a verdict to-day declaring that she had died from arsenical poisoning and recommending that her step-father, Lawrence Krueg, be held to the grand jury. Krueg was mar ried three times within two years' time, and all three of his wives died suddenly and mysteriously, the same as his stepdaughter. Their lives were all insured in Krueg's favor. -Warder and Suicide* San Francisco, Feb. 3.—Another mur der and suicide occurred to-day. Andrew Felts shot his wife and then himself. Both died in a few minutes. Mrs. Felts kept a saloon, not living with her husband. Jeal ousy prompted the deed. Charged With E.riber.'. Wilkesrarre, Pa.. Feb. 3.—District Attorney James L.

KNOCKED SENSELESS. TwoSlus.crs Fight I wclve Round- To a Finish Near Chicago. Special to the Globe. Chicago, Feb. 3.—The most desperate fight which has taken place in these parts for years came off at an early hour this morning in an old distillery at Ham mond. The. principals were Eel Berry, of New Haven, Conn., and John Murphy, of the stock yards. Twelve rounds were fought, and they were decidedly bloody, Murphy, the defeated man, being pounded into an almost unrecognizable mass. The men wore kid gloves with the lingers cut off. The battle was for a purse, and as all who witnessed the mill were assessed $2, the victor realized a neat sum. When the men stripped it was apparent that they lacked training.. Berry weighed 153 pounds and i Murphy 155. From the start the men meant business. Berry quickly showed his superiority, ami after the third round bad ended tidds of two to one were offered on him. The seventh, eighth and ninth rounds were terriflic and Murphy went to grass several times. The eleventh round proved a bad one for Murphy. He was knocked down twice, but each time responded before time was called. When time was called for the twelfth and last round Murphy pre sented* a terrible sight. He was awfully disfigured about the face, and blood flowed from his wounds in torrents. He made several ineffectual lunges at Berry, who in turn struck Murphy a left-hander under the ear, knocking him senseless. He failed to respond and Berry was given the stakes. The crowd reached the city at daylight. The Rochester Fire. Rochester, N. V., Feb. 3.—The loss by the binning of the state industrial school, formerly the Western House of Refuge, is now estimated at $100,000; no insurance. The female department of the building was erected in 18S0 at a cost of $75,000 and was totally destroyed with its contents. A great loss of life was but narrowly averted.

A Citizen of New York Claims That the Civil Service Commission is Unconstitutional, And Files a Bill in Court Asking Por Its Dissolution As An Ille gal Body. A Brilliant Scene at the President's Dinner to the Diplomats Last Night. Doings in the Senate and JTouse--The Interstate Commerce Hill. v Washington. Feb. 3.—Something like a sensation was caused in the district su preme court to-day by the presentation of a petition attacking the civil service com mission and asserting the unconstitution ality of the law by virtue of which it ex ists.' The paper is beaded; A petition of right, by Morris S. Miller, of Older Creek, Oneida county, N. V., for re dress in the case where A. Pedgerton, J. H. Oberly and Charles Lyman, commissioners, and others trespass upon his civil and politi cal rights aud privileges by exercising unlaw ful authority and powers • ■ The petitioner asks for an order or judg ment restraining, enjoining and prohibiting the commissioners and all persons from ex ercising the illegal and . unconstitutional powers set forth, and for such other and further redress as the court shall deem sufficient to vindicate the liberty of the petitioner, and which will adjudge, determine and declare that the people of the United States are not subjects, but sovereign citizens, the gov ernment in substance as well as in form of tiie republic. The petition forms a printed volume of ninety-four pages, the most of which is devoted to a declaration that the civil service law is unconstitutional because it confers on a board • created by the legislative branch of the government powers of selection and appointment to office expressly reserved to the president by the constitution. Various other reasons are also put in the paper. It is believed this proceeding is the first taken with a view of testing the legality of the comiuis son's existence. After the petition had been presented the court stated that the matter came up in such shape that it would be necessary to consider whether it should be taken up directly upon the basis of the petition or allowed to come up on certifi cation from a lower court. The Diplomatic Dinner. Washington, Feb. 3.— and Mrs. Cleveland entertained the diplomatic corps at a state dinner to-night. Covers were laid tor forty-one guests.

A Bill to Buy New Cruisers—The Question of Bailway Attorneys Discussed. .'; Washington, Feb. 3.—There were thirty senators present at prayers this morning. The credentials of Senator Whit thorne. showing his election by the legisla ture of Tennessee for the unexpired term ending March 4 next, were presented, and he took the oath of office under them. Up to this time he had held his seat under the governor's appointment. Senator Saw yer's (Wis.) credentials for the full term commencing March 4 next, were presented and placed on file. Mr. Evarts introduced a bill for "the purchase of the John Ericsson Destroyer and ten enlarged steel vessels of the same type for DEFENDING the HARBORS of the United States." (Appropriating $112,000 and $2,000,000 for the purposes re spectively). A resolution offered last ses sion by Mr. Instills to discharges the com mittee on pensions from the further consid eration of the bill removing disabilities for arrears of pensions from honorably dis charged soldiers was taken up anel Mr. In galls stateel that his object was to have the bill brought before the senate for action. The resolution was agreed to—yeas 27, nays 20. Mr. Ingalls stated that as the bill was one of great consequence he would not ask the senate to vote on it instanter. He gave notice 1 however, that early next week he would move that the senate pro ceed to its consideration. The bill was placed on the calendar. At.2 o'clock the senate proceeded to the consideration of the bill to prohibit MEMBERS of CONGRESS from acting as attorneys for subsidized rail road companies. Mr. Evarts addressed the senate in opposition to the bill. He fa vored an amendment to be offered as a sub stitute to the bill by the senator from Dela ware (Mr. Saulsbury). That substitute made it unlawful for any member of con gress to accept employment as general counsel or attorney, or to receive payment for services as such counsel or attorney from subsidized railroads, with a provision that it shall not be construed to prevent members of congress from appearing as such counsel in state or federal courts, in suits in which the United States is not a party. He argued that the proposed legis lation was uncalled for. The rights of cit izens were not to be invaded because honest employment might lead to criminality. Shoulel the apothecary's shop be suppressed because a poison was dealt from it. No, the poisoner was punished, but the drug store was not suppressed. In order to be con sistent they should pass a law forbidding members of congress from taking any fee. But nobody had thought of proposing any thing of that kind; and this bill was not of that nature. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Evarts' speech the senate went into execu tive session. The house amendments to the senate bill for a public building at Owensboro, Ky., were agreed to. The doors were reopened and the senate ad journed. The House. Washington, Feb. 3.—The house' de bated and amended the pleuro-pneuruonia bill, but adjounred without final action. The Apaches. Washington, Feb. 3.—The response of, the secretary of the interior to the senate resolution calling for information regarding the Apaches at Fort Marion, Fla., shows that all of the youth among those Indians, between the ages of 12 and 23 years, numbering forty-four, have been trans ferred to and placed under educational anel industrial training at Carlisle Pa., and that upon recommendation of the officers of the army in charge of the confined Indians, provision has been made for the education of sixty of the younger children by the sisters of charity at St. Augustine, Fla.. at an expense of 5750 per quarter. The reply is accompanied by a communication from Dr. C. B. Agnew, of Florida, asking-that the department erect school buildings for the education of all the Apaches, and offer ing in the name of the St. Augustine In dian Aid society to procure teachers for the school free of cost. The reply of the de partment to these communications is also submitted and shows grave doubts as to the i\O. 35' advisability of pursuing this course, and . that the department had no authority to ex pend money for the erection of the build ings described. The Appropriation Bill*. Washington, Feb. 3.—The legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill re ported by the appropriations committee to the house to-day makes a total appropria tion of 520,25G,910, which is less than the appropriation for the current year by $.18, -545. Among the legislative features con tained in the bill is a provision that no part of the money appropriated for the civil service commission is to be used until the commission repeals the rule forbidding the appointment of applicants over the aire of 45 years. The number of surveyors general, which is now fifteen, is reduced by the bill to eleven, and it is provided that, on and after July 1, isBB, all of the offices of sur veyors general shall be abolished and the records of the offices turned over to the commissioner of the general land office, who is charged with the performance of all the duties now performed by the sur veyors general, under the direction of the secretary of the Interior. The postoffico appropriation bill was reported by the sen ate committee on appropriations to-day. The Interstate Commerce Hill. Washington, Feb. 3.—The interstate commerce bill was incidentally mentioned during to-day's cabinet session, but nothing was said by the president to indicate his in tention in regard to it. WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE. A Grist of New Bills Introduced-* Rival Improvement Companies. Special to the Globe. Madison. Wis., Feb. 3.—Both houses of the legislature showed great activity in the matter of introducing bills to-day. In the senate bills were introduced: Providing that a person instituting an action for the collection of wages must satisfy the judge that be is unable, to give security for the cost, if be claims he cannot do so; limit in., the damages that can he obtained from towns, counties or cities by individuals for injuries resulting from defective walks to 51,000: appropriating $5,000 to Maria Kunkel, widow of Frauz Kunkel, accidentally killed by the militia at Milwaukee last May; allow ing insurance companies to publish more in formation concerning' them in their notices and requiring them to pub lish in at least three papers in tho county; providing for a better system for tho collection and expenditure of highway taxes. liill Passed—Holding policy holders in mu tual insurance companies responsible as stockholders until the amount of the com pany's assets reaches $75,000, and thereafter relieving policy holders from all responsibil ity except assessment on their notes to the amount thereof. In the assembly Pills wore introduced au thorizing the city of Hudson to issue bonds not exceeding 5 per cent, of the value of tho taxable property of the city for purposes oC public improvement; appropriating $12,000 to the Wisconsin industrial school for girl* for purposes of improvement; provid ing that errors iv regard to deserip* tion in tax rolls may be readily corrected; reviving the law empowering lo calities to regulate auctions and auctioneers; a resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution providing that the supervision of common schools shall be vested in the state superintendent and school officers, as the leg islature shall direct, such officers to bo elected by qualified electors of the state of the respective districts. THE TATE-M'CANN CONTEST was called up aud Tate sworn in and seated, the assembly reserving privilege of further investigation of his right to retain the seat as it may choose. The fight be tween the Wisconsin River Improvement company and Tomahawk Land aud Boom company still continues with una bated vigor. All day the committee on state affairs has listened to exhaustive arguments on both sides. The Chicago, Milwaukee «fc St. Paul Railway company owns about halt the stock of the Tomahawk company, which it acquired with a view to tho revenue to be derived from handling . lum ber in that section and is therefore taking active interest in the proceedings. It ha? been reported that concessions have been made which would settle the matter to the satisfaction of all parties, but whatever agreements have been made do not appeal to hold. A number of representatives ol the rival factions watched so closely the discussion that it is hardly probable thai" any agreements have been made. Remon* strances have been made?, signed by over 500 citizens of Wausau and vicinity,against the passage of the "Tomahawk" bill. i» THE LAWitIAKEKS. What Congress is Doing Regarding Northwestern Interests. Special to the Globe. Washington, Feb. 3.The house com mittee on claims has reported favorably a bill to pay Maj. Bubble, former Indian agent at White Faith, the balance due him on salary in consequence of the consolida tion of the Leech Lake and Bed Lake agen cies, and an increase of salary from SI,GOO to $2,200. The senate has passed a bill correcting the accounts of Norman Thatcher, formerly receiver of the Menasha land officer, Wisconsin. The house Indian committee lias made a favorable report on the bill granting the right of way to the Spokane & Palouse Railroad company through the Coeur d' Alene Indian reserva tion. The road will run thirty miles through the reservation to reach the Cemir d' Alene mining district. These Indians are farm ers, and last year raised 100.000 bushels of grain. They want the road built. Senator Sabin says the house bill to creelit Dakota with 827,650 for ordnance and arms will pass the senate. It has been re ferred to the military committee', and given to Senator Manderson as a sub-committee for report. The house bill to confer brevet rank on all officers of the army now on the active or retired list, who have been recommended for brevet rank by a depart ment commander FOR GALLANT SERVICE in Indian wars, does not apply to Minne sota officers. The terms of the act do not go back further than the year 1807. Dele gate Toole will try in the house to eet an appropriation of 825,000 for a special sur vey of the timber and mineral lanels in the Northern Pacific railroad grant in Montana. His failure to secure a recommendation for an appropriation from the senate commit tee on appropriations is due to Secretary Lamar's wish that the prosecution of the Montana Improvement company be con cluded before these surveys are made. Del egate Toole's proposal was in the line of compliance with the recent decision of the supreme court of Montana, that Judge Gal braith's opinion that the United States and Northern Pacific railroad were not tenant? in common of these unsurveyed lands, bu that the United States had been dilatory ii not surveying the land before this. Mr, Lamar says he wants congress to keep it' hands off this fight. ♦ . Ranee Cattle All Right. Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 3. —Reports, more or less sensational, have gone abroad that the present winter has been severe on ranee cattle, and that the losses in Wyom ing have been more; than the average of past years. The correspondent has taken some pains to ascertain the facts regarding the matter, and has interviewed a number of gentlemen who are largely h terested in cattle, and whose herds range at widely divergent portions of Wyoming and Dakota. All reports agree that so far as this territory and Southern Dakota are concerned, the range cattle bus iness has suffered no unusual loss during the present season. Should the spring be as favorable as the winter has been, the season will close with remarkably small losses. Up to the present time range cat tle have wintered remarkably well. Na tive stock is in better condition than is usual at this season of the year. — Ask an Lasy One.
