0*SstTBlUC*.
WASHi.vr.Toic,Doc. 13. Vest-* resolu^^tion regarding Ibe Indian territory was^discussed in the senate to-day during the^morning hour, and then went over with^^out action until to-morrow. In the course^of the discussion Piatt of Connecticut^took an advanced position in favor of^putting an end to tho existing anomalous^condition of things by the establishment^of a regular territorial government in the^Indian territory.
Amongthe bills introduced and reforred^were the following: By Gallinger, for tho^suspension of immigration under certain^circumstuncc*; by Mitchell, to provide for^a national cncumpincnt of militia at tho^world's fair; by Culloin. to amend the in^^terstate commerce law, anil by Peffer, to^facilitate promotion in the navy.
Considerationof the anti-option bill was^resumed this afternoon and George ad^^dressed tho senate in favor of the meas^^ure. It was alleged, he said, on the part^of tho cotton exchanges that tho passage^of biich a bill would be disastrous to farm^^ers, but on the other hand tho farmers of^the southern states, as well a* the farmers^of the West, with almost one voice de^^mand the enactment of the measure to^prevent dealings in futures. The cotton^growers every year were becoming poorer^anil bucoming victims of tho rapacious^|*^lipy which is taking their earnings and^ad.liug the amount to the overgrown^wealth of men who used their powers for^that purpose. Gcorgo quoted from tho^rules of tho New York cotton excliaugo to^show that tho quotations were not llxod^according to the actual traftie in the^market, but by a sliding scale established^by the revision committee, w Inch met only^once a month, who gave the New York ex^^change authority to llx prices for the cot^^ton of Mississippi, Arkansas and other^southern states. Their action was an im^^pudent usurpation. Before George con^^cluded the senate went into executive ses^^sion and soon adjourned.

Even after the rules^committee reported to-day. Breckinridge^of the appropriations committee tried to^get through a substitute dividing the^work between both committees. It was^defeated. The members of tho ways and^means committee were at onco infor^^mally notillrd that a meeting of the com^^mittee would be h^ld this week to begin^the investigation.

Two pas^^sengers seized one of the robbers, and in^the scufllo one of the |ia*scugers, a Ger^^man of Cincinnati, who was on hi* wed^^ding trip, was mortally wounded, and^Peter Drake, also of Cincinnati, was^wounded twice. The conductor secured a^revolver and emptied it tw ice at the rob^^bers. Meantime the scene was one of in^^describable confusion, passengers hiding^beneath the seats, women screaming and^fainting. At last tho robbers, realizing^the job was a failure, pulled tho liell cord,^stopped the train, jumped off and disap-^pcared in the darkness. It is believed^some of them are wounded.

Washington,Dec. XX The attention^of Secretary of State Foster has been^called to a lengthy interview with the^Canadian finance minister, Foster, tele^^graphed from Ottawa, in which the Cana^^dians severely criticized President Harri^^son's annual message with reference to^* .illiida. Talking of the reciprocity mat^^ter. Secretary Foster said that during tho^conference last w inter Mr. lllaino didn't^insist ou a uniform tariff for both coun^^tries, but did ask that the schedule not he^confined to natural products, but include^nil agreed list of manufactured goods.^The fishery question covers more than a^century of voluminous discussion and pro^^longed controversy, but the most limited^examination of it shows that at every^step in it* history tho exacting and un^^reasonable demands of Canada have frus^^trated w hat otherwise would have been^harmonious adjustments between Great^Britain and the t'nitcd Slates. This is^especially noticeable in the fur seal con^^troversy. It is a well know ii fact thut in^Is**, the subject had reached it complete^basis of settlement in London IsMweon^Lord Salisbury and Minister Phelps, when^Canada's remonstrance* defeated the ar^^rangement and precipitated the two gov^^ernments into a hitter discussion out of^which has grown the Bchriug arbitration.^The Canadian statement of tho issues in^^volved in the controversy is also mislead^^ing. Said Secretary Foster:
Itis not u question of free ilshing on the^high seas. The government of the l'nited^States docs not claim that the Retiring^sea is mare clausum, and docs not seek^lo restrict the legitimate freedom of the^ocean, but, in the language of Mr. Illaiuc.^it d^m.'s claim that the law of tin1 sea is not^law lessness. It holds thiii fur seals Itoru^and reared tin the Pribyloff islands, on^which they spend a large part of their ex^^istence, and to which they return with un^^varying instinct, represent a large and^valuable interest and industrv which^should not be permitted to bo extermi^^nated by the inhuman methods of Cana^^dian poachers.
TheCanadian minister closed the canal^controversy by shifting the real ground to^an alleged comparison of the relative ad^^vantages the two countries derive from^each other's concessions under the treaty^of Washington in the matter of naviga^^tion. The whole movement is evidently^designed to force the l'nited State* to^yield to Canada the free navigation of the^Hudson river, a concession which was^left unconsidered in the conference which^led up to the treaty of Washington. The^navigation of Lake Michigan by Cana^^dian* was made at their express promise^of an equivalent navigation of the St.^Lawrence river. Every attempt to bring^about a better understanding of canal^tolls has been met by the demand of Can^^ada that free navigation of tho Hudson^river be throw n in by the l'nited States.^All nations have carefully guarded their^internal revenues of communication, and^coast-wise commerce from foreign intru^^sion, and the president has neither the^inclination nor power to pay the price of^its surrender in this instance lo secure^an observance by Canada of what he re^^gard* a* a plain treaty obligation.
SecretaryFoster also devotes some^space to Canada's attitude toward our^railway traflie, and says that our tolera^^tion of tin* Canadian railway systems'^operations thus far has been one in many^instances of forlM*araiicc of executive^power and a distinguished mark of the^desire to cultivate friendly relations with^Canada.

PocATr.i.Lo.Idaho, Dec. 13.^Great ex^^citement prevailed on the streets this^evening at 7:30 o'clock when it was re^^ported that Dr. C. N. Rooker had shot^and kill a negro know n a* Ed Wright. It^seem* that Wright ha* been acting in the^capacity of porter for the past few months^and also looked after the residence of Dr.^Rooker. The doctor believed that ho had^been stealing various articles from his^residence snd to-night met him at the^house and accused him of stealing. Olio^word brought on another and in the melee^the negro is said to havo made a motion^wnh lii* right hand a* if to draw^a gun or knife from his hip^pockci. Dr. K.siker then quickly^pulled a gun and shot the negro through^the heart, killing him instuntly. The^d'K-tor immediately hunted up Night^Watchman MeDaniels and surrendered^himself, and is now lying in tin- city jail^awaiting an investigation, which will bo^hcKl to-morrow.
A*near as can lie learned there were no^w itnesses to the affair, hut the* general^consensus of opinion from those who^know Wright's reputation in St. Paul and^other places, seems to Is* that he wits a^lutd man and that the doctor was justified^upon the ground of self defense. A more^complete report will be given when tlss^result of the investigaiion is learned to^^morrow.

BRICC6'ARGUMENT.
TheCharges Again.t lllut He I'leads 1st^Ml* Own Defense.
Nt* York, Dec. 13. The Rriggs trial^was resumed to-day. The galleries of tbe^church were crowded. Among the prom^^inent people in the galleries was Mrs.^Cleveland. The large attendance eras^due lo the fact that Hrigga wa* to answer^the charge*. Ilriggs rend from a printed^pamphlet what he considered the points^of the prosecuting committee's argument,^and asserted the lines of prosecution^adopted by them were illegal and dishon^^orable. Much of McCook's argument waa^devoted to an exposition of the fourth^AUst ativeiitU charges, which were ruled^out by the presbytery. By thus defying^the presbytery, the prosecution succeeded^ill it* scheme of sending to a higher court^hereafter an argument in support of tbe^truth of the charges. The defend^^ant urgucd that M evidence was^advanced by the prosecuting committee)^to sustain charges one, four, lire and sis,^ami these charges should be thrown out.^There has been no proof offered yet that^he has been guilty of heretical teachings,^and if this were a civil court he should^slop right here und ask that tbe case be^dismissed, but n cognizing the fact that^the trial is merely for the purpose of^carrying these charges to a higher ecclesi-^astical tribunal, he is forced to consider^them ou their merit*.
Ilriggsthen pna-eeded to take up suc^^cessively tin' charges and speciQcatione^ami gave a categorical response in his^argument which was remarkable^for its wide research, profound^erudition and close reasoning. Ho^first called uttciition to the prelimi^^nary principle* regulating all trials for her^^esy in the Presbyterian church of the^l'nited Slates, w Inch ho said were entirely^disregarded by the prosecution in their sr-^gumeuts u|h.ii the amended charges and^specillcatiuus. Presbyterian law requires^that the charges should set forth that ears^tain teachings are in irreconcilublecotifliet^with certain doelrincs which are essential^and necessary to the Westminster stand^^ard*, and hold the scriptures. As to dan^^ger.,ii- errors not in irreconciable conflict^with the essci'tial and necessary articles^of tlie Westminster confession, this pres^^bytery had not the constitutional right to^deal w ith them.
