Mr. Ingalls presented a petition for
the admission of Dakota as a state, and
said In his opinion tho opposition to
such admission was wholly partisan
and malignant.
Mr. Vest denied that the opposition
was of tho character Htated,aiid asserted
that it was made by Itepublicans as
well s by Democrats, nnd
based upon unanswerable facts.
Mr. Garland charged that the llrst ob
jection to the admission of Dakota
came from Mr. Halo of Maine on ac
count of the manner in which tho
county of Yankton had dealt with its
creditors.
Mr. Hale said he said lie objected to
the admission or Dakota on the ground
stated by Mr. Garland because the re
duction or Yankton county had been
sanctioned by the terriloriai legisla
ture and he thought it neither fat u r
fair that his action should be charac
terized as It had been by Mr. Ingalls.
A bill was passed making and ap
propriation lor the hiu vey to a certain
practicability of uniting the upper
allluents of the Missouri and Colum
bia rivers by by a canal.
Mr. Vest Irom the committee on
territories .submitted u report in rela
tion to tlio Yellow Urnc P.irk, and
wild he would will It up at an early
day.
Mr. Garlund advocating the bill said
the practical objection to the piesent
hybrid system created by the law of
lV.r2, had been strikingly demon
strated at the time of President Gar
field's death, and after tho 4th of
March next, tinlc.-s congress should
legislate upon the subject, in the
meantime lifo of the president would
only he one standing between the
United .States and an anarchy. On
the other baud the advantages
of the system as reported
by this bill was, It devolved
the duties of the presidency In such
wises upon the secretary ot state No
Inferior man was ever nominated lor
that olllce. Under the existing law
thu president of the senate would be
come In a certain contingency acting
president. Tills provision reiiderd the
character or administration very un
certain for iustancc, when
the senate met after the death
of President Gut Held, the sena
tor from Delaware, Mr. Bayard,
was chosen president of the senate oi
the United States, the chief executive
olllce would bo then lllled by a mem
ber of a paity dete.ited tit the polls but
as if by magic Mr. Dayard was deposed

Davis) was put in Ills place, that dis

party but,walMngin an utmosphcrc of
his own vision above all parcics cent
lean, ethereal or what-not. laugh
ter. If he had heeii willed to the
presidency by tho death of ITosldent
Arthur, the virdictof the people would
have approved him or his paity.
Mr. Garland in the course ot his re
marks exmes-u I tho opinion that tho
president's time of ofilcoouglu to be
six years.
Mr. Morgan moved to amend to pro
vide that olllccrs succeeding to acting
president shall hold olllce until tho
president's dlsaoiiity is removed, or
until tho vacancy is otherwise law
fully tilled, instead of until the regular
term as provided in the bill.
Mr. Edmunds moved that the bill be
rc-commHted to the committee on ju
diciary, with instructions to report as
soon as may he a bill to further provide
for and regulate the duties of the
president of the United States by the
president of the senato pro torn nnd
speaker of tho house ot repies utatives,
respectively. In case tlteie is a va
cancy in both the olllce. of the presi

shall be, at tho tinio being,

clearly the alternatives of
either, perfecting tho system devised
by the fathers or departing entirely
from that system as propescd in the

rapid fire never was seen. Inside of

tho entire works were consumed and
nothing left but the fariiaces and their
chimneys. The flames drove the
workmen away so quiekiv they had
no time to think of drawing the fur
naces, hence the loss is much greater
than it otherwi-o would have been, as
the iron will now cool iu them and
they will then havo to bo
taken apart. Total loss on the
rolling mill is now estimated
at half n million. The insurance is
about $7."n,000. The flames wercdriven
to the l'ilol mill, which was soon en
veloped. The sight was grand. One
fire ran riot through the oil and com
