VOL. X. THE KING OF KINGS. Emperor William, of Ger many, Powerless Before Death's Summons. The Mighty Monarch of a Warlike People Swiftly Nearing* His End. A Rumor That He Has Already Expired and the Fact Concealed. The Crown Prince's Condition —General Intelligence From Abroad. By Cable to the Globe. London, March 7.— There is now no doubt, even in the minds of those ac customed to accept the invariably opteimistic reports from Berlin as true, that the emperor of Germany is dying. The wildest rumors are afloat to-night concerning his condition and the suc cession to the imperial throne, . and many persons professing to have reliable Information boldly assert that the kaiser's earthly career is already terminated, the announcement of his death being withheld pending the per fecting of certain of the German chan cellor's schemes for STRENGTHENING HIS HOLD upon the succeeding ruler. The pres ence at the palace of Prince William, Prince Bismarck and Count VonMoltke Is regarded as evidence that the kais er's physicians have abandoned hope of saving his life. Hitherto the emperor's peculiar malady has always yielded to the injections of morphine which his doctors have fallen back on as a last re sort, but in the present case this treat- ' ment has failed to produce the desired effect. All of the European bourses were feverish to-day, and there is like lihood that a feeling akin to panic will lake possession of some of them to-mor row. THE PRINCE OF WALES, accompanied by Count Herbert Bis marck, went to the German embassy at 7:30 this evening, and remained in con ference with Count yon Hatzfeldt for half an hour. The Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh-Schwerin was -admited to the interview, and left with the Prince of Wales. Count yon Hatzfeldt declined to say more than that the news from Berlin concerning the, [emperor was of a serious character.' Queen "Vic toria and the Prince . of . Wales have sent telegrams to Berlin, asking for the latest news regarding the emperor's condition. The German embassy here has not yet received official notification of the emperor's serious condition. The queen's "drawing room'" appointed for Friday, will be postponed if Emperor William becomes worse in the mean time. The queen will start lor Windsor castle at 11 o'clock Saturday evening, after the silver wedding banquet of the Prince and Princess of Wales. BESIDE the SICK-BED. Berlin, March 7.— A1l day alarming reports were prevalent regarding the emperor, who is now on what will doubtless what will prove his death-bed. The doctors were anxious on account of the emperor's rapidly declining strength. Last night lie had a seri ous fainting fit, the second during his present illness. After midnight he lay in a doze. The doctors were unable to wake him to administer food until late in the afternoon. Late this even ine he asked for food, and on partaking of it felt refreshed. The members of the ministry of the imperial house were in attendance during the night, and the telephone to Potsdam was kept open. It is stated that in addition to the kid ney affection the emperor is also suffer ing from INTENSE PAIN due to inflammation of the parts af fected by the rupture which he suffered some time ago. It has been found that the morphia administered to alleviate the pain is too much for his strength and lias a bad effect upon his appetite. The injections of the drug will there fore he discontinued. Drs. Yon Lauer and Leuthold do not leave the emperor an instant. The greatest excitement prevailed in the palace all day, but to the general public little was known un til toward evening. Midnight— has been no change for the worse, but until now the em peror has been unable to sleep again. The bundesrath has been summoned for an extraordinary sitting to-night. SINKING. London, March 8, 3 a. m.— A dis patch from Berlin dated midnight says that the emperor was at that hour no better, and was in an almost comatose state. - - The Crown Prince. San Remo, March The crown prince conversed with Dr. Mackenzie for some time to-day on the balcony of the villa. The unanimity of the physi cians attending the crown prince in their last diagnosis of the patient's dis ease, portends Dr. Mackenzie's con version to the pessemistic views of the German doctors, or else the result of Prof. Waldeweyer's examination has proved absolutely that the disease is not cancer. It is almost certain, how ever, that the lirst theory is correct, and that the London specialist has finally abandoned his contention against the opinions of the German experts. Crown Prince Frederick William's household will shortly depart from San Remo to Weisbaden. The French Deputies. Special to the Globe. . Pabis, March 7.— ln the chamber of deputies to-day M. Floquet complained that speeches were too long and de clared that the government would de cline all responsibility if the budget was not adopted by the end of the month.

A FEMALE FAKIR, Who Aspires to Succeed Lulu Hurst hi the Dime Museum**. Nashville, Term., March 7.— '» Morristown, Term.. special says: Mor ristowri is considerably stirred up over the discovery of the possession of a re markable gift in one of the young ladies of the town. This is Miss Lucy Byrd, one of the most beautiful and talented young ladies in this section, lt seems that she is a second Lulu Hurst. The discovery is quite recent. Of late some experiments have been made here by a small circle of the ladies and gentlemen interested in spiritualistic manifesta tions. Very small success, however, was attained. At one of the meetings Miss Byrd was prevailed upon to join the circle. No sooner had she placed her hand upon the table than it raised itself upon its legs, upsetting some of those at the table, and then it spun around until the innocent cause of its motion succeeded in removing her hand, when it subsided. All present were very much interested, excepting the young lady herself, who was almost terrified into hys terics, When she became calm she was induced to put her hands upon other objects, all of which moved obedient to her touch. She begged those present not to mention what had occurred, but the next day several learned of it. As a result several experiments have fol lowed. Friday night several friends of hers witnessed her power at a ncig bors. Some very interesting results followed the trial. A cedar chest weigh ing eighty pounds was erected at her touch on one corner and- made to spin, like a top. Three persons threw their weight upon the center table, but when she laid her hand on it, with a spring it ' rose in the air, staggering those who were holding it down. Her mother and three young friends sat down upon a chair, but went flying in different direc tions when the palm of her hand was applied to the chair's . back. Various other articles were.made to move despite great weight imposed upon them. A table spun around at such a lively rate as to frighten the operator, who fled Into the hall. Not being able by a lie-lit effort to remove her hand in her con sternation, she started up a convenient stairway. Its narrowness caused a clumsy attempt on the part of the table to follow, and with a strong push Miss Byrd sent it away from her. The experiments thus far made have been rather limited in scope, but would seem to indicate the possession of a power fully equal to Lulu Hurst's. Indian Legislation, ; Special to the Globe. Washington. March 7.— The com mittee on Indian affairs has favorably reported Gilford's bill for the relief of the settlers on the Winnebago and Crow Creek reservations. This bill is in tended to reach an authoritative esti mate of the pecuniary losses sustained by the settlers under President Arthur's order.

DASHED JTO DEATH. Heartrending Scenes at a Fire in Springfield, Mass., Yesterday. Frenzied Human Beings Es cape From the Flames by Jumping, And Find Swift Death on the Frozen Ground Beneath Them. Six Persons Killed and Sev eral Others Injured—Shock ing Incidents. Special to the Globe. Springfield, Mass., March 7.— The new office of the Evening Union, at the corner of Main and Worthington streets, was destroyed by fire about 4 o'clock this afternoon, and the blaze was attended by the most sickening horror ever witnessed in this city, six of the employes meeting with a terrible death, most "of them jumping from th. fifth story and being crushed into a shapeless mass in the street below. Six others were badly injured. The fire was first discovered in the mailing room and clouds of smoke were pour ing out of the lower story windows be fore the fifty souls on the upper floor were aware of their danger. The flames shot up an old elevator in the rear, cutting off escape by the stairway, and most of the employes who escaped made their way to the ground by way of the roof in the rear. The men and women, who crowded into the editorial rooms, found themselves cut off from escape in the rear, and had to face the horrible alternative of burning to death or jumping to the sidewalk below and being frightfully mutilated. The fire department responded promptly, but it SEEMED AN AGE before the firemen were able to reach the windows on the fifth story. A lad der was out to the fourth story, and the sight of rescue so near seemed to mad den the suffering groups at the two windows In the story above, who dropped in succession to the sidewalk. Six fell in this way, some of them forced off and others madly leaping, causing the crowd to groan and turn their heads as they whirled through the air. The following is a list of the dead: HENRY J. GOUI.DING, foreman of the Union composing room, burned to death. .Miss ('. THOMPSON, proofreader. Mrs. FREDERICK E. FARLEY, editorial department, fell from a window. Mr LAMZON. of Quebec. W. E. HO VEY, of Boston, fell to the side walk, Mr. BROWN, a compositor. The injured are as follows: Thomas Donahue, compositor, bad cut on the bead and left leg broken at the knee. Timothy Dunn, compositor, arm and leg broken. Joseph W. Witty, compositor, hands, neck and ears burned. He clung to the window until the tire forced him to drop. He fell on a ladder and was saved. G. I". Exsworth, compositor, compound fracture of the lew. It is thought that the fire started among the lumber in a closet on the ground floor. The flames were drawn up the elevator well and spread through the composing room on the fifth floor, where thirty compositors, men and women were at work, By the time the fire department arrived the top windows were filled with poor despairing human beings, who did not at first seem to realize their dreadful position. The crowd underneath cried to them to have courage and on no account to try to jump or climb down, and they at first seemed determined to obey. There was so much delay in raising the ladders, however, that the unfortunate victims BECAME PANIC STI'ICKEI. at their danger, and began to jump or let themselves drop from the windows. Shrieks of horror issued from the crowd of spectators as the bodies were seen to fall through the air, and exclamations of sympathy mingled with the groans of the wounded who were picked up and carried away to hospitals or drug stores. A large sheet of canvas was procured as quickly as possible and stretched below the windows. A num ber of men held its edges. Three men and a woman fell upon it, but the shock was so great that they struck the ground with great force, though of course the fall was somewhat broken. They were picked up insensible. There were no pumps or buckets in the office which could nave been used in quench ing the flames. George G. Ware, a cor respondent.* who had a narrow-escape, tells the following story: "I heard the alarm sounded just at the same time that I noticed the room filling with smoke. Mrs. Farley, Mrs. Howard (New England editor), Mr. Warren (news editor), and Mr. Hill (managing editor), were in the same office with mc. We jumped to the door and saw that the passageway was full of smoke and tbe escape by the elevator cut off. Mrs. Farley started for the elo vator. I shouted to her to go the other way and pulled her out of the smoke. She would have, been suffocated in a moment if she had gone that way. She struggled to free herself from my grasp and succeeded. She rushed out and into the front of the building. I fol lowed Warren and Mrs. Howard through a window to the roof on the east side." Joseph H. Landford, who was standing on the sidewalk where Mrs. Farley fell, reached out his arms to catch her. SHE FELL ON HIS NECK, bearing him to the ground and knock ing him senseless. Mrs. Farley was in stantly killed, but Mr. Landford was not seriously injured. Mr. Hill, the managing editor, was in the news room when the fire occurred. The forms had just been sent down stairs and the men were enjoying the relaxation after the afternoon hurry, Four or five were in the room smoking, chatting and jok ing, lt seemed less than a minute be fore the smoke burst into the composing room, and- the compositors became alarmed. Hill ran out and told the men and women to start for the roof in the rear, which many of them did. About fifteen of the thirty-five employes, how- , ever, rushed to the front, six of them . going into Editor Shipley's room on the j corner. With Mr. Hill in the room, were Dan Phillips, Sim Dunn, the galley boy, Mrs. Farley, another woman and a com positor. Hill opened the windows and shouted, "For God's sake put up a lad der." The crowd below appeared to-be dazed. He then took oft his coat and j threw it. " He picked up books and files of the paper and hurled, them out to at tract attention. Tne smoke became, so dense that he could not breathe, A crowd of compositors and others gath ered around the window of the compos ing room, in which the smoke seemed still thicker. . Fred Ensworth was seen trying to break through the. partition into tne editorial room, where the air SAINT PAUL, MINN. THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 1888. was better. The prisoners could see the ladder coming, but : ■ <;' <K IT SEEMED AGES j '■'(. before it reached them. Mrs. Farley became too excited to wait any longer, and she jumped for the top of the lad der. She struck it and seemed to roll down the ladder to the street. The copyholder, a young woman, started' to jump after her. Mr. Hill caught her and held her back, shouting that the ladder would soon be up, and urging her to wait quietly. The flames began to burst through the partitions in vari ous places, adding to the terror of the situation. Dan Phillips began to choke for breath. He said to Hill: "I guess it's all over. Ido no not care . for my self, but my poor wife." Hill said: "I have a wife, too." The two men began to pray, hardly knowing what they said. The girl was struggling to escape Hill's grasp, and shouting hysterically. The smoke became too dense for endur ance. Those hanging to the outside of the window began to lose strength and dropped. The impulse to take the plunge seemed to spread like a panic among them. Waves of flame began to roll toward the window. The fire singed Hill's hair and clothes. The ladder came at last, and the copyholder who had struggled in his arms caught it. She grasped the rounds firmly and went down in safety. "Go ahead," Hill said, "I can wait," and the rest of the group went down, sliding and tumbling over the rounds, but reaching the ground safely. Hill finally swung himself under, the ladder and made his descent with another man in front of him. It was re ported that he was killed and choking and blackened with smoke, he hastened to the telephone office to notify his wife that he was safe. Joseph Wettey, one of the compositors, who was slightly burned, said that the first indication had of the fire in the composing room was A" FAINT LINE OF SMOKE ,;•'-! in the direction of the stairway. All immediately started for the stairs. There was no hurry, as they expected no difficulty. On reaching the head of the stairs, however, they found the pas-, sage blocked with smoke, and retreated to the elevator. After ringing repeat edly and getting no answer, they lost hope. The smoke had now become so dense in the rooms that they were forced to the windows. At the suggestion of Mr. Golding attempts were made to break the skylight, but these failed. The building belonged to Emerson Wight. The Union editorial and com posing rooms occupied the entire fifth floor. The counting room was on the first floor. The press rooms and mail ing rooms were in the basement. The third floor was occupied by the R. 11. Smith Rubber Stamp company. On the third floor were the Diamond Safety Razor company and H. Apple ton's nickel plating works. G. W. At wood, printer, occupied the second. The total loss is about $40,000. An Earthquake. Los Angeles, Cal.; ! March 7.— sharp shock of earthquake was felt here to-day, being the severest for eighteen* years. No damage was done, but houses were badly shaken and people ran into the streets in fright. ■ THE OIL, FLURRY. Too Many Sharp Corners to Suit the Dealers. New York, March 7.— The members of the stock exchange have apparently satisfied themselves that f dealing in oil is accompanied by too many sharp corners, and this morning they were dis posed to let Pipe Line certificates alone The crowd around the petroleum section was comparatively small and the only business transacted was the settling up of old accounts. In the Consolidated ex change, however, there was even greater excitement than in the last hour yester day. Before the opening shorts paid as high as .20 per 1,000 barrels to borrow oil for delivery to-day. and when the market opened the pit was a solid mass of brokers, struggling and climbing over each other in their efforts to buy and sell. The first sale was made at $1 and the price rapidly fell to 69c and then moved back to §1. On the way up and down the sales were the largest on record and in the first ten minutes amounted to over 1,000,000 barrels. There was a flood of oil some where, and the price was again forced back below 99c on heavy sales. Where the selling orders came from is a mys tery, as the Western operators are ap parently as heavy buyers as sellers, but it is asserted that the great deal c ngi neered by the Standard Oil company and the Producers union is approach ing its culmination, lt is said that : the reason for the light corner worked yes terday is that the Wall street houses who have been long interested in oil were short 3,000,000 barrels before the certificates were listed on the New York stock exchange, and they were often hard pressed to obtain enough certifi cates to keep their short accounts open. It is really this heavy short interest that is now being squeezed, and the corner of yesterday was only an incident of the bigger move. "' . _^ Smart Aleck Ingalls.

Other Roads Take a Neutral Position Asked by the Brotherhood. The Manitoba Lease May Hold j Say the Striking Engineers ; "Scab" Workers. .'■■■ The threatened strike of the Chicago, Burlington & Northern railroad en gineers is on at last. All along the en tire line the "knights of the throttle" have laid aside their working clothes and are quietly awaiting a settlement "of the difficulty. Promptly at 10 o'clock (yesterday morning, or so soon there after as the end of a division was reached, every man quit his engine. All this was in pursuance of a communica tion handed the road Tuesday evening, i which read as follows : ' The engineers and firemen employed by your company respectfully request that after 10 a. m. March 7, 1888, you do not ask them to handle business, either COMING FROM THE ROUNDHOUSE. passenger or freiget, or any consign .ment in .the interest of-- the Chicago, 'Burlington & Quincy railroad, as such step will not be consistent with the 'present good will which now exists be ' tween your company and its engineers land firemen. . The Chicago, Burlington & Northern 1 issued the following reply, meant for I both the engineers and firemen and the public at large: :'•_■.:■'' : Inasmuch as the Chicago, Burlington & Northern depends for its outlet be tween Oregan and Chicago on the one hand and between Fulton and St. Louis on the other hand upon the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, this notice is equivalent to an order upon the Chicago, Burlington & Northern to draw into its shell and remain there, Sending the declaring off of the Chicago, Arlington & Quincy strike. The Chi cago, Burlington & Northern officials take the view that so far as the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is concerned the strike is already ended and the battle won; the places of the striking engin eers and firemen have been permanently filled. *". X :'X -XX Therefore, being unwilling to go out of through business for an indefinite period, the Chicago, Burlington & Northern has answered the notice of its engineers and firemen by saying that IT PROPOSES TO CONTINUE to interchange business with the Chi cago, Burlington & Quincy without in termission, and that the places of the men who leave their engines this morn ing at 10 o'clock will be permanently filled. The Chicago, Burlington & Northern AT THE UNION DEPOT. was not entirely unprepared for such a move as has just been taken by its engin eers and firemen, and it announces its ; ability to take care of all business offer ings, both passenger and * freight, with the exception of live stock and perish able freight. There will be no inter ruption to the running of trains, either passenger or freight, due to the strike on the Northern. When this reply reached the notice of the engineers not another word was said, but all acted in unison and quit work. So quietly was this done that many engineers in St. Paul knew noth ing of it until afternoon. . TEN YEARS AGO. The Man Who Took Out the First ' v. :*•; - Suburban Train. The Burlington ..Northern had hired men who were readiness :to ', take the trains as soon as the strike occurred, and" the suburban train to Newport pulled out at 2 o'clock ' as usual with a , 'scab? engineer *at the ."helm." : The curiosity of the Brotherhood engineers to see these "scabs" was up to the high est notch . and they : . collected 'on the platforms in large numbers. ; When the engine pulled in the head of a man, ap parently about forty years of age, with an iron gray moustache and stiff black i hat, was seen at the cab window. He I was rather pale and turned his head neither to the right nor left. The en gineers and firemen hooted him and. cried "rats,"- "scab," etc., and ridiculed the amateurish manner in which he was running the locomotive. A Globe re porter boarded the engine. "Are you an engineer-" he asked of the man in the stiff hat. "I have been in the employ of the railroad company fifteen years," was the evasive reply. "Did you ever have any experience as an engineer?" "Yes, about twelve years ago, but this is the first time I have been on an en gine for ten years." "Did you apply for the position?" "I did" not." .-;.'•'■•* "Not having been on an engine for ten years, aren't you afraid it might blow up?" "Well, not exactly." "Do you propose to run it right along?" "Yes, sir. I'll run this engine until the officials of the road order me off of it. The engineers have no grievance whatever, and still I sympathize with them. I am not a member of the brotherhood." He said his name was Mooney, from Minneapolis. The engineers stated that this man was not a brotherhood man because he was unable to get into it. "There have been some remarkable changes In machinery in ten years, and he and the company will probably learn of them rather suddenly." No violence was attempted, nor did anything occur except a few derisive yells. FIRST THROUGH TRAIN. It Came in Charge of a Non-Broth erhood Engineer. When the through train arrived late in the afternoon, the engineers sur rounded the engine. This engineer was a "scab," and was between the ages of forty, and fifty. A Globe reporter talked with him in the cab. : ''No, lam not a brotherhood man, never was and never will be. lam deeply in sympathy with the strikers, and it one would come here now and offer to take the engine, I'd give it to him. 1 have been an engineer for fifteen IN THE BROTHERHOOD HALL. years and was formerly with the Penn sylvania road. Ido not care to say any thing whatever." At the company's office he registered under the name of Beauheler, though it was said by some that his name was Miller. Curiously the brotherhood men watched the "scab" manipulate his en gine, and this is an instance of that manipulation as given by an engineer. He couldn't properly oil his engine. In trying to do so he got underneath it, be tween the .back pair of drivers, some thing an experienced engineer would not do. He did not put the feeders on the guide trucks and came in with the guides cutting on one side. When he attempted to back the train out of the depot it never moved. "Release your brakes, you sucker," shouted an engineer. He accepted the suggestion and the train moved slowly away, followed by the cries and de risive . yells of the engineers and fire men assembled on the platform. The other roads faithfully kept their word with the brotherhood and not a C, B. & Q., C, B. & N. car, or the cars of the lines leased by the "Q." road, was touched after the hour named by the engineers had expired. These cars had been hurriedly side-tracked and hud dled together in their "lonesomeness" early in the morning and were not moved after 12 o'clock, according to the orders issued by the other railroads. SIDETRACKED ON THE NOP.THEP.N. These roads do not wish to have any thing whatever to do with the strike and have granted the request of. the brotherhood to leave all "Q." business alone.

The People of Dakota Have Good Cause for Hearty Rejoicing-, Because the House of Repre sentatives Has Passed the Measure Which Will at Last Open Up the Great Sioux Res ervation. The House Pacific Roads Bill- General Washington In telligence. Special to the Globe. Washington, March The Sioux reservation bill passed the house to-day. Great credit is due not only Chairman Peel for securing its passage, but also to Ordway, McClure, King, Kleiner and Petrigrew. Ordway was especially effective to-day, silencing the objections of Holman and the solicitude of Randall, while the others were counseling with Dawes. The bill as passed meets the approval of Dawes, and will be called from the table in the senate by him and passed substantially as now. Slight dis agreements will be fixed in conference committee. The bill may be considered as safely passed through a most crucial test. Wilson, McDonald, Rice, Lind and Nelson were all attentive, and WILSON MADE -A SPEECH in behalf of the urgent need of the bill, but objecting to the limitation of time for the railroads to two years to build. The general sentiment was to concede to Dawes all that he desired, thus recog nizing his interest in the bill as well as his long experience in Indian affairs. This is largely due to the influence and pacific advice of Ordway and Kleiner. The hostile Indians are not omitted from theso to whom the ratification is submitted, because Dawes insisted that the land is theirs, no matter how savage they are or have been. The senator, however, has made many concessions to friends of the bill, and all unite in ac cording him great praise, even when not agreeing with him. Clifford was on the floor in front of the speaker, with a speech prepared, but no necessity arose for its delivery. Chairman Peel conceded all the amendments offered by Holman, in order to avoid controversy. Meantime Holman had been held in extended conversation by Ordway and his first venom extracted by the smooth diplomacy of the ex-gov ernor, who then proceeded to make proper explanation of all questionable affairs to Randall. The Pennsylvania aided the bill by voice and vote. Auditor Ward and Treasurer Palmer also busied themselves seeing their friends and \ SMOOTHING THE WAY for favorable action. McClure desires it said that he has been unable to ma terially aid the matter because the others had the subject well In hand be fore he came, but the truth is, McClure has done a wonderful amount of work, more effective than any other gentle man here could have done with Dawes, because of the warm personal friend ship existing between them. Ex-Dele gate Pettigrew and ex-Congressman Strait were on the floor unostentatiously busying themselves with members who needed explanations privately concern ing salient points of the bill, lt is believed by all that the senate will pass the bill hiside of two weeks, possibly within one week. No opposi tion is visible anywhere, and it is known to certain members of the house com mittee that the bill pleases the presi dent, and will receive his sanction. In deed it is violating no confidence to say that the president has been made aware of the salient points, and agrees sub stantially with Dawes in the matter. Hence all compromises have been wisely aud purposely made. AT RAPID CITY. Special to the Globe. . Rapid City, Dak., March 7.— The news of the passage by the house of the bill opening to settlement the Sioux Indian reservation was received here with general satisfaction.

The Democrats Allow No Fooling With the Tariff and Revenue Measure. WASHiNGTON.March 7.— Having mar shaled- their forces over night the Re publican members of the ways and means committee renewed their attack on the Democratic majority's tariff and revenue measure this morning. All of the members were present at 1:10 o'clock, and when the committee had been called to order Mr. Reed opened the proceedings by renewing his mo tion that representatives of the "cement industry be heard by the committee. After the exchange of some tart re marks between the opposing lines this motion was defeated by a strict party vote. Mr. Reed again came to the front with a motion that the marble men be heard, as theirs was an industry that would be seriously affected by the pas sage of the pending bill. This was also rejected. Mr. Burrows then moved that the Easterbrook Metallic Paint com pany, of Camden, N. J., be granted ten minutes in which to point out the prob able effect of the bill on their business, which, he said, would be its abso lute destruction. When the vote was taken . the same result followed, the Democrats refusing to agree on any hearing. Mr. Breckinridge, of Ken tucky, next offered a general resolution that all industries affected by the pend ing bill have liberty to file a written or printed communications before the com mittee, but that no oral hearings be granted. Mr. Kelley moved to amend so as to require that those communications already on file, or hereafter received, be read by the clerk to the committee. The Eroposed amendment was rejected. Mr. [cKiuley then requested the committee to hear workingmen and members of congress or industries in which they are A granger sat in his easy chair, Smoking* his corn-cob pipe, While his better half, who was standing near, Was giving the dishes a wipe. But his nervous acts and crankiness The old dame scarce conlil probe, Till the farmer irritably cried: "Matilder, Where's my GLOBE NO. 68. interested, and which were touched upon by the bill. Being put in the form of a motion, this was also voted down, but the Breckinridge resolution, allowing communications to be filed, but refus ing oral hearings, was adopted by a Earty vote after the Republican mem ers bad expressed their minds vigor ously in opposition to it. The commit tee then adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. THK HOUSE. Passage of the Great Sioux I.eser- vat ion Bill. Special to the Globe. Washington, March 7.— the house this morning Mr. Belmont, from tho committee on foreign affairs, -reported a preamble and resolution, which was adopted, calling on the president for documents and correspondence between the governments of the United States Great Britain and Venezuela, relating to the question of the disputed bound ary line between British Guinea and Venezuela.

The first bill agreed to was one. ratifying an agreement with the GrosV ventre, Piegan, JBlackfeet and River. Crow Indians in Montana. Under the agreement these Indians CEDE TO THE UNITED STATES the lands embraced In these reserva tions, and agree to accept and occupy other lands separately set apart as their permanent homes, and 1405,000, for the period of ten years, is to be paid to these Indians for the lands ceded to the United States. The next bill consid ered was that to divide the great Sioux Indian reservation into four separate smaller reservations. Some discussion arose over the provision granting the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail road company and the Dakota Central Railroad company the right of way through the reservation, and on motion of Mr. Holman, of Indiana, an amend- ' ment was adopted providing that unless the roads shall be constructed within three years, all the lands granted lor station purposes and the right of way shall be forfeited and revert to the government. The bill was then agreed to. It entitles to allotments theme inbers of the Santee Sioux tribe in Nebraska, and it authorizes the presi- n dent whenever in his oplon any reser vation of Indians, or any part thereof, '' is advantageous for agricultural or graz ing purposes, and the progress iv civil ization of the Indians receiving rations on either or any of the reservations, shall be such as to encourage the belief that an allotment in severalty would be for the best Interest of said Indians, to cause the reservation to be sur veyed and to allot the lands in severalty to these Indians, one million dollars is to be set apart in the treasury to the credit of the Sioux Indians as A PERMANENT FUND, 5 per cent of which is to be expended for the promotion of Industrial and other suitable education among the In dians and for such purposes as, in the opinion of the secretary of the interior, will contribute to their advancement.

Washington, March 7.— Mr. Beck gave notice that he would reply to Mr. Sherman's speech of yesterday next Tuesday on the bill to substitute coin certificates for gold and silver certifi cates, and he also notified the senator from Ohio that he would read extracts from speeches of Senators Allison, Ingalls and others denouncing the sil ver dollar demonetization in terms com pared with whicii his own words were mild.

Washington, .March 7.— ln reporting favorably to the house the bill prepared by the house committee on Pacific rail roads to secure the payment of all of the indebtedness of the Union Pacific Rail road company, and the Central Branch Union Pacific Railroad company to the United States, Chairman Outliwaite says that the most important question to "be considered immediately is how to secure the repayment of the people's money. The report quotes the unanim ous opinion of the Pacific railroad com missioners to the effect that that under no circumstances can a settlement of the debt of the Union Pacific be ex pected at maturity. The president is also quoted to the same effect. Tho whole amount that the Union Pacific will pay under the bill, added to the present payment of the sums in the sinking fund. 57,7.*.4,0_3, will be .110, --741,763. Taking into account, says the report, the large partial payments, in creasing each payment and redncing the debt every six months, the average extension of the debt as a whole does not exceed twenty years.
