The ltoynton Case The Cruiser Detroit Ac ceptable Government Receipts and Ex penditure.. Washington, Oct. 3. Tne very evident absence of a quorum of senators waa called to the attention of the vice presi dent by Wolcott (Kep.) of Colorado, and there was thereupon a call of the senate, to which (after some little delay) the re quisite number of senators, forty-three, responded. The morning business was then proceeded with. A bill to give set tlers on the public lands in Oklahoma territory another year in which to make their first paymeuts on the land was re ported from the committee on public lands and was passed. The resolution offered by Teller last Saturday calling for information as to the purchase of sil ver bullion in September, 189:, was laid before the senate and agreed to. Sherman (Rep.) of Ohio called attention to a misstatement contained in the speech of White (Dem.) of California last week quoting an article from the Banker's .Magazine of August, 1873, as to the de monetization act of that year. There was no such article, he said, in the Bankers' Magazine. The statement was false aud fraudulent. It was an absolute fabrica tion, and he wanted to have it marked with the brand of infamy. White ex l niiu'd that he had taken the extract from other speeches and papers and had not consulted The Bankets' Magazine to prove the correctness of the extract. As his attention had now been called to it he would have the allu.-ion omitted from all future copie of h:s speech. The silver purchase repeal bill was taken up and Kyle, Pop., South Dakota, rose to address the senate, but yielded to Dubois, Rep., Idaho. Dubois complained of a remark made by Gorman last week on the subject of his resolution to defer action on the repeal bill and other meas ures until the three vacant seats from Montana, Washington and Wyoming were filled. Gorman had spoken of the resolution as one of a series intended to obstruct action on the repeal bill. On that statement Dubois took exception. He said that he had offered the resolution from a sense of duty entirely on his own responsibility, and without consultation with senators opposed to the repeal bill. He was not in any plan to obstruct busi ness. He found a precedent for the reso lution in the filibustering of Republican senators some years ago to prevent the filling of committees while there were three seats vacant in the senate. Washburn said that he had not sup posed that the senator from Ipaho, when he offered, "the tesoiution had seriously gui"pos 'd ' that the senate would sit and allow senators to be chosenfrom states wh ch had not performed their constitu tional functions. The senator could not have thought of anything so absolutely absurd. Mr. Washburn added that f the thrie states in question two were no! s ive-j reducing states, and had no more interest in the coiunee of t-ilver than any other states of the Union. Furthermore, tho-e two states were now respresented by two senators, both of whom were in favor of the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. "Please to name," Mr. Walcott inter posed excitedly, "the two states that are represented by senators in favor of uncon ditional repeal." "I will do so with great pleasure," Washburn suavely replied. "They are the states of Washington and Wyoming." "I should like, the senator from Minne sota," sa'd Mr. Dubois, "to state on wbfse authority he makes that statement." "I make it on the authority of the sen ators themselves." "Very well " said Dubois, "I imagine that those senators will resent the impu tation. There never has been a time when members of congress from those states have not voted for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and I state that the sen ators from the states of Washington and Wyoming on this floor are not for the un conditional repeal of the Sherman act." PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. The attendance in the bouse was small, and the speaker directed tne clerks to call committees for reports, but none were submitted. The debate on the federal election bill was resumed, and cite bouse was addressed by Dunsmore of Arkansas in support of the measure. He denounced the laws as Improper, unauthorized, un just, unwise aud wrong. They stood as an obstruction to the carrying out of the wishes of the people. He expected to sea the pledges of the Democratic party on this question re.leemed. Such a course was vital to the interests of the govern ment and the happiness of the people. The people had thrust the Democratic party into power in order to enable it to repeal those laws which had been put into fjree by the Republican party. Densou of Alabama followed In a speech of a similar tenor, In which be denounced the federal election laws. Re ferring to the war he ereated a laugh by the sentence: "You were successful, but you did not whip us; we wore ourselves out trying to whip you." He did not deny that there could be violation of the fed eral election laws in the south, but no law had ever been enacted that had not been violated in the north as well as in the south. Men from the north could not tell men from the south that "you have the beam in your eye and we have only the motejin ours," Laughter. Th?re were some men who said that there might be another war. He was not one of those. He had had enough of that. Laughter. He then proceeded to argue '.against the federal election laws on constitutional grounds, and he and Ray of New York grew controversial and argumenta tive Jon this point, Ray taking the contrary position. Cooper of Florida opposed the federal election laws. They were productive of nothing but evil, and ought to be wiped out with all the speed that could be given to legislative proceedings. Clark of Mis souri said that one of the reasons why the people had hurled the Republican party from power was that that party was the inveterate enemy of free elections. The average citizen liked fair dealing. The peuple did not like the idea of United States marshals swaggering around the polling places with bludgeons in their hands and their pistols by their side, say ing who should vote or should not vote on any pretence or on no pretence at all. He then went on to discuss the negro question, and predicted that within a short time ihe people of the south, white and black would be found working to gether on all economic questions. Statemeat or Iieceipt. and Expenditures. Washington, Oct. 3.

The Sea Inland Sufferer. Washington, Oct. 3 The following telegram has been received from Miss Clara Barton, president of the American National Red Cross at Beaufort, S.- C: "The Red Cross has officially accepted and assumed control of the relief of the sea island sufferers, tendered two weeks ago by the governor and committeis of South Carolina. This implies the housing, feed ing, clothing and nui sing of 3 Jk;o people f.r eight months with no aid from the government and no fund but the direct charity of the American people. Our headquarters and address is at Beaufort, S. C." Hi port on the Cruiser Detroit. Washington. Oct. 3.

The lighthouse board of the treasury department has recommended to Secretary Carlisle for in corporation into his forthcoming estimates the construction of from fifteen to twenty new lights on the lakes ranging from the lowest to the highest order of lights. LEADS TO A POPULAR MOVEMENT. The Mailt field Mine Disaster Stir. Cp the People of Marquette. Marquette, Mich., Oct. 3. The awful disaster at the Mansfield Iron mine last Friday has already led to a popular move ment for the modification of the Btatute creating the office of county inspectors of mines and vesting in the county board of supervisors the choice of mine inspector. Two-thirdt cf the supervisors in the min ing districts are resident managers or chief clerks of the mines, thus making the mine inspector dependent for his election upon the very corporations whose meth ods he is charged by law to scrutinize. Instead of a disinterested and impartial official he is a mere tool of the mining companies and concludes bis perfunctory investigations into mine accidents with a stereotyped report exonerating the com pany from nil blame. The next legisla ture will be urged to make the inspector elective by popular vote in the same man ner as ether county officers. It is also suggested that the county system of in spection be abolished and a state inspector elected, merging into his office that of commissioner of mineral statistics. Spanish Anarchists Active. Barcelona, Oct. 3. Though the police have been for the past two weeks more than extraordinarily active in their pursuit of anarchists it becomes evident through a discovery that has been made that some members of that brotherhood of criminals are still pursuing their avocations. The town of Villanueva-y-La-Geltru, twenty five miles southwest oftbis city, was the scene of the latest anarchist exploit. When a policeman was patrolling the streets in that town he found lying neftfftJ that were apparently powerful enough to have blown the house to pieces. Fuses had been attached to the bombs and the ground bore traces of their burning, but the bombs were faulty in construction and had refused to explode when the Ore reached them. X Made an Assignment.
