Un TEXARKANA ARKANSAS, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 189* PLEDGES REDEEMED ! THE WILSON BILL PASSED BY A LARGE MAJORITY. The Income Tax and Free Sugar Amendments Were Also Adopt ed with Large and Enthu siastic Majorities. At 6 o'clock last evening, at the conclusion of one of the grandest, most imposing and impressive scenes I ever witnessed in the American ' capital, the Wilson tariff bill passed 1 the House of Representatives by a vote of 204 to 140. The events lead ing up to it were almost unparallel ed in our annals. At 12 o’clock, as -1 ter a preliminary skirmish of an . hour over the barley skedules, the ’ bill was reported to the House and the closing speeches were made. Such a vast concourse of people as , assembled to hear these last argu ments upon the great economic is sue about to be submitted for final arbitrament to the representatives of the American people, had never been seen within the precincts of the Nation’s legislative Capitol. Nothing like it was ever known in ' the history of the oldest inhabitant of the capital. For hours before the debate be gan the corridors leading to the galleries were a surging mass of humanity which became so great that men cried out in terror and women fainted in fright. It was estimated that over 20.000 attempt- . ed to gain admittance to the gal leries of the House during the day. i Their seating capacity is about 3,000 and every available seat was occupied long before the gavel dropped. The people were lined against the walls and banked aginst the doors; so great did the rush become that the members of the House secured permission to bring their wives upon the floor. When Mr. Reed, the first speak- . er, arose at last to deliver the final , plea for protection, the overhang- . ing galleries were black and dense < with the spectators who thronged them. Every inch of space upon the floor was taken. It was a brill iant, as well as a large assembly, Only ten of the 354 members of the - House were absent. Many grave and reverend Senators and other distinguished personages were on the floor, and in the galleries were 1 Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Vice-President Stevenson, and other ladies of emi- I nence and distinction, their dresses ; flecking the landscape with color. ( Then for three hours the oratory of , the champions of the two economic svstems followed —Reed, Crisp and Wilson—while their partisans made 1 the air vocal with their shouts of < approval. The appearance of the ] Speaker of the House on the floor engaged in debate was in itself a re- < markable, as well as an unusual thing. Each of the speakers seem ed to be in his best form, and the speeches which they delivered will rank among the most brilliant of ‘ their lives. When these were finish- ' ed Mr. Wilson, who spoke last, was lifted on the shoulders of his admir- 1 ing colleagues and carried triumph- 1 antly from the hall amid a scene of j unmatched enthusiasm. When it came to voting the victory for the | measure was overwhelming. The vote upon the income tax proposi tion (taken in connection with the 1 internal revenue amendment) stood —lB2 to 50. 1 Only twelve Republicans voted on this proposition —seven for and five against. The Democratic opposi tion amounted to forty-five. The last effort was made by those Dem- ' ocrats who are opposed to the 1 measure in whole or in part, led by 1 Mr. Covert, of New York, to re- 1 commit the bill, but the Republi cans refused to join in this attempt • to scotch the measure, and it end ed in a dismal failure. But thirty six Democrats voted for it, not even enough to secure the ayes and nays, a record making vote. The vote , upon the final passage of the bill 1 was a surprise. A mid the most in tense enthusiasm Democrat after Democrat who had been counted to vote against the measure, like Blanchard, Beltzshoover, Batner, 1 Cockran, Coombs, Dunn, English, (■eissenhainer, McAleer, Ryan and , others, recorded their votes in the affirmative. Only seventeen Demo crats of all the boasted Democratic opposition to the measure stood out I to the end and voted against it. |As each one cast his vote it was I greeted by applause and cheers from the Republican side. Those who voted against it were Barlett, Campbell, Covert, Cummings, Haines, Hendrix, Schermerhorn and Sickles of New York; Cadmus, of New Jersey; Sperry and Page of Connecticut; Geary, of California; Sibley, of Pennsylvania, and Davey Meyer, Price and Robertson, of Louisiana. The majority for the bill, sixty-four, exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the Dem ocratic members of the Ways and Means Committee. When the Speaker announced the vote, cheer followed cheer on the Democratic side. Papers, hats, Congressional records, and in fact everything which Democrats could lay their hands on were flung high in the air and amid a perfect pandemonium of joy the House adjourned. NOMINATIONS*HELD UP. That the Senate Committees are now examining, with far more deli beration than usual, the nomina tions sent to the Senate >by the President, is evidenced by the fact that there is.about forty of these which were sent to the Senate be fore the holidays, which remain unacted upon, and nominations which were made during the extra session and again made at begin ning of present session. Os the forty appointments upon which the Senate has not acted, fifteen are for offices in the state of New York, two in Missouri, two in Tennessee, two in Pennsylvania and two in Maine and one each in various other states. The New York appoint ments which have been held up are the most important. There is known to be protests against a con firmation growing out of local causes In some of these cases but the impression is gaining ground that senatorial opposition is respon sible for the delay in many cases. Reports on some of these older New York nominations are un questionably delayed by the com mittee at the request of New York senators, and the same is also true in the case of some other States. Senators say the delay is to be at tributed to the desire to exercise due precaution in making out re ports. ■ t ■ GRAND CONCERT. AtY. M. C. A.

OKLAHOMA STATEHOOD. 1 1 Considering the Claims of Oklahoma f ana the lidian Country to Statehood. r The sub-committee of the Com f mittee on territories, which is hear ‘ ing arguments, at Washinton, for : and against the admission of the • country comprising the five civil- I ized Indian tribes with Oklahoma, ' as a state, held another meeting ‘ yesterday. '■ The representatives of the In- I dians were present and the debate ’ was carried on in rather a colloquial way. The embarrasment which the committee seems to labor under is 1 the fact that while one side says the Indians want to come into the Union as a state with Oklahoma the othes side denies the fact. There fore the issue is reduced to facts given so far are the assertions of the gentlemen representing the contending elements of the In dians. Gen. Colby, representing the op position to statehood to Oklahoma, addressed the committee. He de scribed the prosperous and happy condition of the five tribes, entered into the most pleasant descriptions of the schools and progress of the people, called the attention of the committee to the past of the tribes and reminded it of the treaties from 1825 to the present time. He said he had never met an Indian citizen in the Creek or Cherokee nation who favored statehood of the five tribes with Oklahoma. He said there was no desire among the tribes for statehood outside, of the desire of non-citizens who were in the terri tory by marriage or courtesy. He was rather severe on the desire of this ■ class of people for the lands, etc. He made quite an impressive speech. Mr. Hornbeck submitted the names of several persons, two of whom he knew and knew the Indian citizens who had signed a request to him to represent them here and urge statehood. The oth er persons signing the request he did not know. Ms. McAdams resented the dec larations of Gen. Colby as to the interloper. He said the whites in | the territory were as five to one to the Indians and they should be considered. They had gone to the territory and lived there according to the law. Mr. Duncan, representing the Cherokees against statehood with Oklahoma, made some remarks. All the way through the controversy was a running character and mem orials against statehood are prom ised from the Indian councils. There was quite a spirited controversy as to the attitude the tribes were as suming toward the Dawes commis sion, the statehood people claiming that these tribes had already as sumed an attitude of opposition to the object of such commission. NO ADVICES FROM BENHAM. Washington, January 31. Neith er the State nor Navy Depart ments received any further infor mation during the day on the Bra zilian situation. Further informa tion has been requested from Ad miral Benham as there seem to be one or two features of the incident that are rather vaguely understood by the department. It is not known, and it is thought to be not true, that any instructions have been sent to Admiral Benham other than the general instructions of all naval commanders to protect the rights of American citizens. He announced to the Navy Depart ment on last Saturday the course he proposed to pursue and it was undoubtedly approved before he acted. A surrender by Da Gama to Benham would embarrass this Government and Admiral Benhani has either signified that he under-] stands this or has been warned of the fact. His purpose is not to be understood as intervening against the insurgents, but simply as pro tecting American interests against aggressions by the insurgents, and the policy of the Government is un derstood to be one of an approval i of Benham’s course in compelling 1 recognition of rights of American shipping while refraining from in terferencu-in the internecine strug gle in Brazil. Attempted Bank Robbery. Forrest CrrrJ Feb. I.—Early this morning there was an explosion in ] the Bank of Eastern Arkansas. . Safe blowers were at work. The night marshal and others hurried • to the scene and found it one of wreck and ruin. The robbers were frightened off before they could force an entrance into the money vault, and about 1500 in silver and SI,OOO in postage stamps is all that has so far been missed. The stamps had been deposited in the bank for safe keeping by Postmaster Wilson, and also a package containing |2,- 400 in currency, but this was over looked by the thieves. There were three men in the party. The dam age to the bank vault and building is considerable. ALIEN CONTRACT" LABORERS. They will be Deported if the Law* are not Complied with. It is announced from Washington that Superintendent Stump of the immigration bureau, with the ap proval of Secretary Carlisle, has is sued a circular concerning the ar rest and deportation of alien con tract laborers. It directs that im migrant inspectors shall carefully inspect all cases of violation of the alien contract labor laws which come to their knowledge by obser vation or complaint, and report the same with all the facts and circum stances connected therewith to the superintendent of immigration. If, in the latter's judgment, the case is sufficiently established, the Sec retary of the treasury will be asked within one year after the landing or entry of the immigrants, to or der said Alien contract laborers to the country from whence they came at the expense of the vessels bring ing them into the United States, hut if from an adjoining country, at the expense of the persons pre viously contracting for their ser vices. The circular is, of course, intended for general application, but its provisions are expected to apply at this time particularly to the case of Spanish alien contract cigar makers who recently came from Havanna to work in Key West cigar factories. Superintendent Stump has been waiting for the names of these men be fore preparing a formal warrant for their deportation. One list which has come to hand brought the names of about 120 men, and another list is expected in a day or two. It is expected that a large proportion of men will be ordered deported to Havana, although final action in the case has not yet been taken. _ The Modern Invalid lias tastes medicinally, in keeping with other luxuries.

To whom it may concern: The bull, Pogis Hugo Royal, is choicely bred, having 37J per cent of the blood of Stoke Po gis 3rd; has been in use in my herd for several years, and I do not think those who breed to him will be dis appointed in the butter character of his offspring. W. B. Montgomery. The above Jersey male is a grand son of Stoke Pogis 3rd on his fa ther’s side, and a great grand son on his mother’s side, getting 25 per cent on his father's side and 12} on his mother's side, making 37} per cent. If he was a son he would only be 50 per cent. He being 37} almost makes him equal to a son of Stoke Pogis 3rd. Stoke Pogis 3rd was the finest Jersey male that ever lived, not meaning in the United States alone, but in the whole world. He is the father of Pogis Hugo Royal's (No. 19132) father and Mary Ann, of St. Lambert, No. 9770, she, under an official test, making 36 lbs. and 121 ozs. of butter in 7 days. For reference write the American Jersey Cattle Club, No. 1 Broadway, N. Y., as this is the place where all records of Jersey cattle are kept. Pogis Hugo Royal, No. 18,132, will, for the year 1894, be at the Texarkana Jersey Stock Farm, 2} miles due east of Texarkana, Ark. Jab. Buffington, Business Manager. Money Package Found.

The much debated question of the repeal of the 10 per cent tax, 1 on State banks, which has been ag itated in congress, since the open ing of the present session, by the southern and Western members of ’ that body, will, it is thought, be ■ brought to a focus in the House committee on banking and curren cy today. Several bills involving this step are before the committee , but it has been decided to take a vote on the bill drawn by represen ( tative Cox, of Tennessee, which is , for unconditional repeal. This question was discussed in the com mittee last session, and various bills explained by their authors. It developed in the discussion that the committee is very much divided on the banking question, and the vote , of one or two members whose po ( sition is in doubt depends upon the fate of the bill in its first stage. . Judge Cox says the bill will certain ly be reported, either for the un . conditional repeal of the tax or re peal with some limitations. After . it has been reported, as he says, it will be pushed in the house as soon I as a right of way has been obtained . for it. This bill will be the first im portant measure emanating from the banking and currency commit tee this congress. Chairman Spring er, of the committee, has embodied in the form of a bill his scheme for a uniform banking system, but has done so rather to bring the whole matter before the committee and effect an expression of views than with the expectation of his ideas to ( be crystalized in legislation. Last Night’s Fires. At 10 o'clock last night, the alarm ; of fire was sounded, calling the city fire departments to a burning out house, belonging to the South in Cottage, situate on the West side, corner of Moores and State street v The larger building is occupied by Mr. H. W. Schofield, who was, we understand, entirely without insur ance. The flames were checked without material damage to any other than the first house caught. The excitement from the first fire had scarcely died away, when a second alarm was sounded. This time the alarm came from a vacant cottage on Maple street, West side, opposite Judge S. D. Lary’s resi dence. The fire department re , sponded promptly and succeeded in preventing a spread of the flames. The second house was also uninsur ’ ed.- Married. At the home of the bride’s parents two miles south from the city, at 3 o’clock p. m. yesterday, Miss Ame lia Reed and Mr. Dan Buford, both of Miller county, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. The young people are .both well known in their neighborhood and are popular among their associates. The Tixahkanian joins in con gratulations to the happy pair. Man’* Inhumanity to Himself. The most inhuman outrages, which would disgrace the sav age, man perpetrates upon his own system by swallowing drastic purga tives which convulse his stomach, ago nize his intestines and weaken hie sys tem. Many people constantly do this under the impression that medica ments only which are violent In their action, and particularly cathartics, are of any avail. Irreparable injury to health is wrought under this mistaken idea. The laxative which most nearly approaches the beneficent action of nature is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which is painless but thorough, and Invigorates the intestinal canal instead of weakening and irritating It The liver and the stomach share in the be nign discipline instituted by this comprehensive medicine, whoso health ful Influence is felt throughout the system. Malarious, rheumatic, kidney and nervous complaints succumb to it.
