Associated Press Dispatches.
Washington, Feb. 27.—The house of
representatives today, in considering
the Indian appropriation bill, authorized
an innovation which, if concurred in by
tbe senate, will be of great interest to
Indian agents and officers of the regular
army; an amendment proposed by
Bowers of California being adopted pro
viding that the president may detail
officers of the army to act as Indian
agents whenever vacancies occur, on
motion of Holman it was amended to
provide that such officers, while acting
as Indian agents, be under the orders
and directions of the secretary of the
interior.
In advocating his amendment, Bow
ers said sooner or later the people would
compel the adoption of the principle in
volved therein. Army officers were sec
ond to no people on earth in the matter
of integrity and honor. If they per
formed duties as Indian agents, the In
dians would be fairly dealt with, and
there would be no more wars.
Wilson of Washington did not think
army officers would make good Indian
agents.
Bowers took the opposite view ani
added that when the present Indian
agents got into trouble, army officers
were called on to quell the disturbance.
At this point Holman'g amendment
mentioned above was adopted.
Simpson of Kansas favored Bowers's
amendment, and said it was the first
time he had heard any excuse for the
existence of the army in this country.
Here was a proposition to put the army
in some useful employment and take po
litical strikers out of office.
Upon a standing vote the committee
agreed to Bowers's amendment as
amended, 83 to 40.
Pickler of South Dakota raised the
point of no quorum.
Wilson of Washington said there evi
dently was a quorum.
The chair (Bynum) replied that there
was evidently a quorum present, but the
chair couldn't vote them. The gentle
men mast do their own voting. [Ap
plause on the Democratic side, j
On a vote by roll call, the amendment
was adopted—l2s to 45.
Although it was thus agreed to by the
committee of the whole, Peel of Ar
kansas gave notice that he would ask a
separate vote in the house, on the
{round that this was too important a
matter to be legislated upon without
greater consideration than had been
given it.
The committee then passed to con
sideration of the clause appropriating
$100,000 for the construction and repair
of Indian day and industrial schoais.
An amendment by Lynch of Wiscon
sin was adopted, providing that all
school houses erected be built on reser
vations or as near the boundary as
practicable.
Reed of Maine advocated a proposi
tion increasing by $300,000 tbe appro
priation for the education, of Indians.
The Indian must be educated as a
whole, said he; it is useless to take a
child here and there, and after
educating him Bend him back to be
come a blanket Indian. There are today
30,000 ludian children. The government
is educating 20,000, but it is rich enough
to educate all. It would be a funda
mental mistake on the part of the
nation to stoo in the work of the educa
tion of the people of this country, com
posed of many races. They must be
made one—a race that has some idea of
civilization and progress.
Reed's amendment was defeated.
Pending final action, the committee
arose and the house adjourned.
Before adjournment, Dingley of Maine
presented for reference a preamble and
resolution reciting that the leaders of
the Democratic party had determined,
in order to avoid raising a direct issue
on the principles which separate Re
publican and Democratic parties in the
approaching presidential election, that
it is necessary to make the people be
lieve that there is a question at issue
between the two parties as to whether
the appropriations and expenditures
of the government shall be econom
ically conducted. The resolution then
goes on to Bay that these
so-called leaders of the Democratic
party, in pursuance of this plan, and in
support of their unfounded charges of
wicked extravagance against the Repub
lican congress, and their equally un
founded claim of superior honesty and
economy for the present Democratic
congress, found it necessary to defer all
appropriations until the second session
of the present congress, after the presi
dential election, in order that they may
fee able to point during the campaign to
an apparent reduction of appropriations
in support of their charges and claims ;
and resolved, that in order to further
thiß plan of campaign, it
is inexpedient to provide for
toe construction of any of the numerous
public buildings which congress in
tends to authorize until the second ses
sion, after the presidential election shall
have been decided, and the necessity
which, as the Democratic members
seem to think, for pressing a false issue
of economy in lieu of the real issues,
the principles which divide the parties,
ehali have passed away.
Resolutions of the Universal Peace
union, protesting against the removal
of the southern Utee, were presented
for reference.
A bill was passed ratifying the act of
the Arizona territorial legislature, mak
ing an appropriation for an Arizona ex
hibit at the world's fair.
riiis BINDING TWINE.
I«« Minority of tha Ways and Means
Committee Approve* It.
Washington, Feb. 27.—The minority
of the ways and means committee today
submitted a report dissenting from the
views of the majority on the bill placing
binding twine on the free list. It dis
enaseß the action of the senate in voting
to place tbe article on the free list. It
says the vote was induced largely by the
assumption that the price was regulated
by a trust, "but says the minority,
"this condition of affairs, which was
then proven never to have existed, is
certainly impossible under the present
competition."
The minority in conclusion opposes
the "bill because the industry is already
established ; because tbe removal of the
duty would destroy it, throwing thous
ands of men out of employment, and
rendering millions of invested capital
useless, and turning $2,000,000 in wages
annually to the laborers of other coun
tries, because there is a lively competi
tion which can only be maintained by
the present duty, which enables manu
facturers of American hemp binding
twine to prolong their existence, and
because it would inevitably increase the
price of binding twine, and also because
we oppose free trade and believe in the
protection of American industries."
A WAIF'S DEATH AVENGED.
The Murderer of a Little Boy Lynched
by a Mob.
Marshfikld, Mo., Feb. 27.—Richard
Cullen, a young man charged with the
murder of a foster-child of Cullen's step
father, Henry Shaw, was taken from
the jail by an armed mob last night and
hanged.
Last Tuesday night tbe body of a 4
year-old boy was found in an old well
near the residence of Henry Shaw. The
child was a waif, but had been adopted
and reared by Shaw as his own. Mon
day night Mrs. Shaw put the boy to bed
in a room where Richard Cullen, Shaw's
step-son slept. Tuesday morning tho
child waß missing. Suspseion pointed
to Cullen, who had beea jealous of the
waif because he believed his step-father
intended to leave his property to him,
and when the body was found in tbe
well, Cullen and his mother were ar
rested.
THE SILVER SITUATION.
FREE COINAGE GAINS A COIGN
OF VANTAGE.
The Bland Bill to Be a Special Order For
About March 22d—Debate To Be
Limited to Three or Four Days-En
gland Not a Party to an International
Monetary Conference.
Washington, Feb. 27.—As the result
of an informal talk between the three
Democratic members of the committee
on rules —Crisp, Catchings and McMil
lin —a determination has been reached
to bring in a special order on the silver
question. It has been determined to
make the Bland bill a special order for
March 21st or 22d, though this date may
be changed. The purpose is to give the
bill four days for consideration in tho
house. Within this time it is to be de
bated and brought to a vote. If neces
sary because of filibustering, a rule will
be brought in to bring the matter to a
'vote.
It is the purpose of the anti-silver
men to fight the special order of the
rules committee at the very outset, and
endeavor to defeat it.
A large number of members of con
gress conferred with the speaker during
the day and all gave opinions on the
silver question.
The report that Great Britain has
consented to take part in an interna
tional monetary conference, and indi
cated that tbe Rank of England was
willing to .hold one-fifth of its reserve
in silver, is denied at the treas
ury department in most posi
tive terms, and one of the
prominent officials has made no attempt
to conceal bis opinion that the present
agitation is for the sole purpose of influ
encing favorable action on Senator
Teller's bill now before the senate, pro
viding for an international conference
and thereby effecting a postponement
of action at this session of congress on
the question of free silver. It is learned
from other sources of unquestioned re
liability that there ha* been no material
change in the situation on this question
since the opening of this session of con
gress.
A MISUNDERSTANDING^

said Gannon. "I have written Sutton
that rather than accept his resignation
I would resign myself, and my resigna
tion will be tendered to the executive
committee any time it is desired. I will
have nothing to do with any factional
quarrehi."

to farmers if passed.
THIRD PARTY STKERERS.
How Northern Leaders Outwitted the
Southern Alliance Element.
St. Louis, Feb. 27. —Now that the In
dustrial conference is over, peculiar facts
are being revealed. It is said the entire
affair, from the issuing of the call by
the Ocala convention to the present day,
was planned and executed by J. B. Weav
er, Ignatius Ponnellv, Herman E. Taube
neck.G.F. Washburne, J. H. Davis, C.C.
Post of Georgia, and J. L. Norton of
Chicago. It became evident that the
eoutheru element was strongly opposed
to independent political action, and the
leaders in this line were Dr. McCnne
and Ben Terrill of Texas and Liv
ingston of Georgia. Thoße in
favor of such action saw that
something decided had to be done, and
quickly alter the convention was called
to meet in St. Louis, so if would be
near Kansas and Nebraska, two Btrong
Alliance and third party states, matters
were so shaping themselves that it waa
becoming necessary to deßtroy the in
fluence of the southern leaders
oppcred to tho third party ac
tion. Here the Washburne-Taubeneck
party showed its finesse. With the
aid of Post, of Georgia and
J. H. Davis, of TexaE, the Alliance in
those two elates waß so worked upon aa
to come to the support of the third
party. Anti-third party feeling having
thus been practically stamped out, the
ateerera came to St. Louia and began
their work here to control the conven
tion. With what success they met, the
result of the convention showß.

ing of Resigning.

cial says Chief Justice Fuller, of the

is inadequate to meet hia living ex

trying, leaving him little leisure.

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
The poisonous flavoring extracts in the market
are one of the wolves in sheep's clothing which
ruin the stomach, causing dyspepsia and blood
diseases before the consumers have discovered
their true character. The only safety the public
has is to buy only such goods as are well known
to be of the finest grade and purest quality.
Dr. Price's Delicious Flavoring Extracts
are just what they purport to be, containing no
poisonous oils or ethers which are used in mak
ing the cheap extracts. Dr. Price's Vanilla, Lem

COSBY AND GERMAIN.
THEY WIN THE GENTLEMEN'S
DOUBLES AT RIVERSIDE.
A Report of Yesterday's Proceedings at
the Tournament—Some Excellent Play
ing—The Handicap Singles.
Special Correspondence to the Herald.l
Riverside, Feb. 27.
The Southern California midwinter
lawn tennis tournament which opened
on Wednesday of this week at Riverside,
was not closed even yesterday, despite
the strenuous efforts of the able com
mittee of arrangements to bring it to a
close on Friday, for the accommodation
of spectators anxious to reach home yes
terday, as well as for the players, to
whom a finish would have been accept
able in view of the ball which was given
on Friday evening.
The handicap event of gentlemen's
singles was a small tournament in itself,
as there were twenty-five entries. The
handicap committee was composed of
Messrs. Young, Cosby and Halsted, and
the contestants were handicapped as fol
lows :
Germain ecratcb, Butcher received
two bisques; Betts, G. Rice, Wallace,
Singleton received % 15; ROuth and
Waring received % 15, and bisque;
Maud, H. Rice, Fox, Betts, Gage, Irving,
Edwards, Baker and G. H. Singleton re
ceived 15; H. Wright, Lindsay and
t Acker received 15 and 2 bisques; Win
terbotbam, Chouteau, Dickinson and
Golf received % 30; McNab received 30.
In the first round, which played off
on Thursday svening and Friday morn
ing, Waring defeated Gage 6-5;
Maud defeated Acker 6-5, 6-0; Wallace
defeated Betts 6-1, 4-6, 6-2; Lindsav de
feated Baker 0-5, 4-6, 6-5; Bettner de
feated Singleton 6-1, 6-4; Rue defeated
McNabb 6-3, 2-6, 6-0; H. Wright de
feated Fox by default; G. A. Singleton
defeated G. Rice 6-2, 6-5; Edwards de

defeated Irving 3-6, 6-4, 6-5.
The fourth roun»l resulted: Bettner
beat Germain by default; Edwards beat
Raugh 3-6, 6-4, 6-5; Edwards beat
Bettner 6-3, 7-5.
The contest in finals of gentlemen's
doubles, which was postponed on Fri
day afternoon, was opened yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock between Cosby
and Germain, Butcher and Haistead.
The number of spectators was smaller
than on either of the preceding days of
the tournament, owing to the fact" that
a large number of the tennis people re
turned to their various homes yesterday
morning. A sufficient crowd, however,
was present to arouse the enthusiasm of
those contesting to admirable effort and
some of the most brilliant playing of
the tournament was witnessed in this
close contest, which was won by Cosby
and Germain. Score, 4-6, 6-3, 9-7, 3-6,
7- 5.
Cosby put up a strong game, Germain
not playing in his usual good form.
Cosby was especially applauded for
many brilliant plays, which caused
great enthusiasm among the spectators.
The prizes awarded on gentlemen's
handicap singles were respectively an
elegant silver, gold-lined cup, first prize,
and a handsome carving set for second
prize.
The ball which was given at the K. P.
hall on Friday evening was a brilliant
success. The spacious dancing hall was
appropriately and gracefully draped in
blue and white bunting, while the
Riverside ladies were conspicuous in
becoming gowns, in which these
club colors predominated. The River
side gentlemen were also distinguished
by blue and white ribbon rosettes, and
the general effect was charming. The
programmes prepared announced an
order of eighteen dances, and an elab
orate collation was served during a
brief intermission. There were nearly
150 guests presents, and the occasion
will linger long and pleasantly in the
memory of all participating. Great credit
for the snccesß of this tournament is
due to Mr. Robert Lindsay, the efficient
secretary of the Southern California
Lawn Tennis association, who has been
foremost in all plans and arrangements
for this brilliant affair.
Most, if not all of the strangers pres
ent departed yesterday afternoon to their
homes, thoroughly delighted with Riv
erside, its people, their entertainment
and with this midwinter tournament,
which has been unexceptionally suc
cessful from every point of view.
NOTES.
The volleying of Halsted was bril
liant.
Rice of Alhambra played a splendid
game.
Miss Halsted is one of the best play
ers in the south.
Butcher was effective with his drives,
which were well placed.
Germain's drives were brilliant and
were very hard to volley.
The courts were in most magnificent
condition throughout the tournament.
Throughout Coulter played a splendid
game, only he fell down in the mixed
doubles.
Miss Giililand and Mr. Coulter added
to their laurels of last year and still re
tain the ladies' and gentlemau'ajcham
pionship, reapectively.
LoB Angelea waß most ably repre
sented, aa the playerß carried off the
first and second association prizes and
the gentlemen'a doubles.
Miss Tufts is to be congratulated on
the excellent game she put up in the
mixed doubles and although defeated, is
due none the less honor.
The moat hotly contested and best
earned victory of the tournament was
the gentlemen's doubles between W.
Cosby and H. Germain and Haistead and
Butcher.
Loa Angelea gets the firat and second
eventa, captured by Theo Coulter and
H. Germain, reapectively, the prizea
being first, a kodak camera, second, a
ailver match safe.
The net game aeemed to be the favor
ite, and is indeed crowding out the old
prosy back-line play, and will doubt
less be almoet entirely used at the
coming tournament.
The team work of Cosby and Germain
was especially good, and the defeat of
the other team was due in no small re
spect to their not having played to
gether very much before. Cosby played
a very steady game at the back line,
his net work being also good. His lob
lollying is effective and accurate.
The representatives from the various
towns were delightfully entertained, and
toward the people of Riverside the most
cordial sentiments are entertained by
the various participants in tbe tourna
ment. Tbe managers of the affair
spared no pains for its snccess, and
among other courtesies the ball was
thoroughly enioved.
SAN DIEGO'S CABLE ROAD.
Marshal Gard Goes Down to Attach It
Yesterday.
As a sequence of the failure of the
California National bank of San Diego
and the train of resulting circumstances,
yesterday United States Marshal Gard
made an attachment on the cable road
of that city. This was an enterprise
exploited for the purpose of developing
San Diego, and the employees of the
road, many of whom were depositors in
the bank, were told pleasant stories for
two months about the ultimate resump
tion of business by the bank, with an
accompanying request that they would
not ask for their salaries lor two months.
They did so, and find that they have
labored in vain.
The attachment made by United
States Marshal Gard on the cable road
is for $98,000, and from indications tbe
marshal will place a host of citizens of
San Diego under arrest before he gets
through there.
TWO PERSONS MISSING.
Inquiries Made of the Police as to
Their Whereabouts.
A letter was received yesterday by tbe
chief of police from James West, No. 85
Upper Lloyd street, Manches'er, En
gland, in which the writer inquired
about Mrs. Wm. McLean, who, accord
ing to the latest reports from her, was
stopping at the Lonsdale ranch, Ante
lope valley, with her uncle, a Mr. With
erspoon.
Another missing person is Bolton C.
Gallagher, who, until January 7th, was
working on a ranch at Newhall with his
brother James C. Gallagher. James
then left with the understanding that
Bolton was to follow in five days and re
join him at San Francisco. Since then
nothing has been heard of Bolton, and
Brother James now writes to the chief
to ascertain whether anything is known
here of tbe missing man.
SMITH'S WATCH.
He Claims That It Was Embezzled
By Thomas.
A compiaint was sworn to yesterday
before Justice Austin by Gilbert Smith
against T. T.Thomas, a big colored man,
for embezzlement of a watch. The
time-piece is described as a filled, hunt
ing-caee watch, valued at $40. Com
plainant alleges that he sold the watch
to Thomas on the installment plan, and
that after several payments had become
delinquent the purchaser had refused to
give up the watch, but had willfully
and unlawfully converted it to his own
use.
Thomas had been arrested once be
fore on the same charge, preferred in
Justice Stanton's court, but bad been
discharged on the ground of feome tech
nical question of jurisdiction. Since
then the African has not been seen and
he has not yet been arrested.
THE SUPERVISORS.
They Act on Several Petitions—The
Santa Monica Road Matter.
At the session of the board of super
visors yesterday they decided to readver
tise for bids for supplying ballot boxes.
The petition for the vacation of
Batcheller avenue was granted on mo
tion of Supervisor Cook. A petition for
permission to build a 6,600-foot pier at
Santa Monica was then presented by the
Southern Pacific Railway company, and
February 20th was set for a hearing. By
the way, the board of supervisors some
days ago decided that the remonstrance
against allowing the Southern Pacific
Railroad company to make an extension
along the beach at Santa Monica was of
no value. The facts publiehed in the
Herald pointed out this outcome as
the only sensible one, and gave the
supervisors some idea of what they
should do in the premises. The action
of the board in this matter wae not re
corded in the minute book on the date
of action for some reason or other,
which leads to the pertinent remark
that all of the actions of the board
should be spread on the minutes. (See
section 24 of the county government act
relating to supervisors.)
The Carelton addition to Norwalk will
come up for a hearing before the board
on March 4th.
