THE DAILY

THE NEW RULES.

The House Begins Consideration of the Proposed Code.

THE DEBATE AT MONDAY'S SESSION.

Their Adoption Fnrored by Mruri, Cannon ami llayne—Mr. Mills Speak* Against the Changes—Work *n *he Senate*

1IOUSK.

WASHINGTON, Fob. 11.—In the House yesterday the journal of 'lhursday's proceedings wa» read, and although the I Democrat* did not demand a detailed reading of the document tbey Insisted upon a yea and nay vote upon its approval. It was approved—noas, 149 nays, 1, the Speaker counting a quorum. The journal of Friday's proceedings containing no ruling by the Speaker on tocount of counting a quorum was approved without domur.

The new codo of rules was reported to the House by Mr. Cannon (111.) from the committee on rules. Proceeding to orltlclso the old rules, Mr. Cannon said that In the last Congress the business of the people had been piled up on the calendars and not 5 per cent, of that business had been considered by the House. Almost as muoh timo had been given to the obstruction of tho minority as had been given to the consideration of the business of 60,000,000 people. He defended the proposed change prohibiting the Speaker from entertaining dilatory motions. No Speakor would dare to refuse to entertain a motion until it was patent to all that it was dilatory, and then the Speaker should refuse to entertain it. He denied that the proposed rule was tyrannical but if it was, then it was a tyranny sustained by the majority of tlie House. Discussing the rule permitting tho Speaker to count A quorum, he said that if the Democrats wanted to go to tho country as against tho principle contained in the rule the Republicans were reac% to meet them and lot tho people choose.

Mr. Mills (Tex.) said that the proposed oode would reverse legislative notion and run back on the truck upon whioh the Government had been running forward for a century. It was founded upon the proposition that the minority had no rights that the majority was all-powerful that it spoke by Inspiration, nnd t^it its action was impregnable. It was founded on the principle that the King was divinely appointed and that he could do no wrong. That was not tho theory upon which tl)0 fathers had builded this groat temple of liberty. Tho great object of tho Government as proclaimed by the declaration of independence was to secure tho inalienable rights of the citizen. The Government was a Government of oheoks and balances. Bules were intended not only to facilitate business but to protect the minority, and they had always done so sinco the foundation of the Government, The minority had asked for rules, but for rules which, while providing for the procedure of business, would preservo and protect the rights of the minority.

Mr. Bayne (Pa.) justified tho committee on

ruleB

in bringing in

the

pro

posed code, arguing that it would facilitate the transaction of business and would prevent a small minority from nullifying the will of the majority of the representatives of tho people. His argument was largoly devoted to a defense of the constitutionality of the Speaker permitting the counting of members present and not voting to make a quorum, and he cited tho practice of many State Legislatures and legal decisions in support of his view.

Mr. Blount (Ga.) made an argument in opposition to tho proposed rules, dwelling with especial antagonism upon the clause making lOOmcmbersaquorum In a committee of tho whole.

Pending discussion tho House adjourned. SKN'ATR.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—In the Senate yesterday a number qf petitions were presented. Among them were tho following:

From the citizens of Mississippi, asking for the establishment of a republican form of government in that State and a froo ballot and a fair count from citizens of Georgia, for the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment from the IndlanapollsBoard of Trade, asking for a ropeal of the fn-ter-State commorco law from tho Chicago Board of Trade, praying for the passago of the Dorsoy bank superintendent bill.

Senator MoPherson, of Now Jersey, also knew nothing of the forged papers and declared his signature a bold forgery and a baso ono at that. The witnoss having roferred to the ballot-box matter as a conspiracy, Mr. Turner asked if he knew any thing of a conspiracy in that connection. He replied! man had abundant tain the falsity of hastened instead to It might be regarde

ot,

which the paper had been procured, and the apparent proof to'support its character.

Senator MoPherson replied that as tho paper, If genuine, would degrado and ruin public men, and properly so, they should havo been .consulted when it was possible -to do so by traveling four or five miles, ifis first impulse on reading the publication had been to have every man' connected with it arrested withinforty-eight hours.

Governor Foraker—5l#dn't you better do that yet, Senator^'Tho courts are still open.

Senator McPherson—-I don't know. Halstead got down in'jthe dirt and rolled over in his humiliation, and attempted to remedy the wrong, which changed the situation somowhit.

John. L. Pfau, of Cincinnati, said Wood had told him that Governor Foraker and Mr. Halsteaa had believed the paper was genuine, and that it had been intended to trap Foraker, but not Halstead. Wood had intimated'that John R. Molyean and T. G. Carnpboll wore the movers in the alloged'gilot,

Lewis M. H&ddoh, a first assistant city attorney for Cincinnati, was the next witness. Mr. Haddon had testified before and his testimony -had been contradicted by T. C. Campbell and George Campbell, General Grosvenor pressed tho witness to tell why he had omitted in his-first testimony any reference to the payment of money to Wood, and -his wife. Haddon replied that he had not thought of it at the time. lladd^n then said that during tho campaign ho was ohairman of.the Hamilton County Republican campaign committee. Ho had told Foraker, Pryor and Kurtz, the Governor's private secretary, that he had seen in the hands of T. O.

According to tho terms of tho act tho proclamation reserves certain portions of tho reservation for tho allotment of lands in severalty to tho Indians and provides the manner in whioh tbo allotments shall be made. Tbo proclamation also excepts from sottlomont lands granted the Chicago, Milwaukee &.

THE 1IUSII FOB HOMES.

CBAMBRRLAIN, S. D,, Fob—U,—Oklahoma's history was repeated" here Monday afternoon when news was reoeived that the President had issued his proclamation opening tho Sioux reservation to settlement. Tho bulletin was received at 8:30 o'clock, and two minutes later the frozon surface of the Missouri was black with boomers in wagons, on horseback and on foot, madly rushing toward tho promised land. There were, fully 8,000 persons in the throng, comprising a portion of the overflow from Oklahoma, l:rgo number of New Englanders and nbu. ."00 South Dakotacs, principally residents of this city.

For throe mouths representatives of town-sito companies having headquarters in Watertown, Huron, Mitoholl and this city have been hero, each planning how to get across tho river ahead Qf the others and locato a town site immediately opposite Chamberlain. Tho representatives of tho looal company outgeneraled their compet-' itors. Men wero secreted in the brush1 along the river bank, and as soon as' news of tho proclamation was rocolved a oannon was fired by the company's chief at tho telegraph office, and the mon who had lain in the brush since midnight wero up and across the river before the other follows bad hoard the news.

There has been considerable olaim jumping already, and an endless train of wagons and sleighs is conveying lumber anif supplies to those who have staked out claims on the broad aores of tho reservation. Troops are patrolling tho, reservation to preserve tho peace, and although there will be much litigation botween claimants of land, particularly over the choice claims along the river bank, there is no probability of any serious troublo.

The looal town-siters, who got the advantage of tho other boomers for the possession of the town-site, have arranged lor representation in nearly fifty different branches of business. Inside of forty-eight hours the buildings will have been erected and every thing bo in running order, with a population of botween

SCENKS AT 1'IEltIIE

PIEBHK, S. D., Fob. 11.—Tho first intimation received by tbo thousands ot boomers gathored that tho President had Issued his proclamation opening the Sioux reservation settlement was conveyed by tho dischargo of a cannon in front of the State-house at 8:40 o'clook Monday afternoon. At once thore was a sceno of wild excitement. Tho crowd tbat had blocked tho street in front of the telegraph office sinco early morning made a break for the coveted mile square across the river, but when thoy reached tho west bank they found throe companies of troops under Colonel Tessin drawn up in line. Tbey wero informed that as the military authorities had not reooived orders to allow sottlers to enter the reservation none would be allowed there. This was a sore disappointment, but it was useless to parley. Colonel Tessin held all tho trumps and he would not recede from his position. Two miles down the river from Fort Pierre several hundred boom-

orossed the river, invaded th*

ration and began to stako out olalmfc As soon as tho main body had been driven back to this olty tho troops and Indian police went in pursuit of the others, and all oxoept a dozen or so have boon sent back to this sido.

Troops and Indian police aro patrolling tho banks to head ofl invaders. Today when tho military havo received orders, as they certainly will, to allow settlers to outer tho reservation, thore will be another mad rush, as the boomers aro now thoroughly excited. [The great Sioux reservation, containing in all 31,000,000 ncres, lies bctweon 43 degrees 90 minutes and 40 degrees 10 minutes. It 1bbounded by the Missouri river on the east, and extends to the South Dakota line on tho west and south, embracing all west of the Missouri river except tho Dlaok Hills territory. Tho portion of the reservation lo bo opened lies to the *outh of thj Ohoyouno rivof and north of the AVhite river, and a narrow Btrlp of luml lyiug to tho north of the Bella Foucho river, In tho territory codod by the treaty of 1876. Under the terms of the treaty settlers entering the territory and flling upon this land 'within three yeurs of the proclamation which deolnres It open to settlement must pay tor It at the rate of tl.U per acre, and no ono will be allowed to tile upon more than 100 acres. Th. land will ho most easily accessible from the points where tho railroads touch the Missouri fiver, and from far-out sections along the Blk. born Valloy rullruud lu the Dlaok Hills. The nearest approaches to the reservation by rail are at Chamberlain and Pierre.

Within tho boundaries of this territory are such variety of soil nnd condition as would seem adapted to 1111 the v.-ants of any ono seeking

general assembly, provided that the following tbreo poinw shall bo seoured: "First, that the full integrity of the system of doctrine as contained In the confession of faith shall be Kept Inviolate. "Second, that those forms of Etatcment, es poclaUy In the third and tenth chapters, which ooqvey or seem to convey erroneous or unserlptural implication, and which are oooaslons ot stumbling, be modified or eliminated. "Third, that God's love of the world and His commission to preach the Qospel to evory creature be given fuller and more definite expression."

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 11.—By a vote of almost two to one tbo Philadelphia Presbytery Monday afternoon declared against the revision of the confession of fa'ith. After two hours' debate the vote was taken at 5 o'clock. It resulted as follows: For rovlslon, 23 against revision, 42.

The bottom lands alons the streams ulTord tho best facilities for goncral agriculture, the soil being In nearly all eases deeper, 'richer and loss susceptible to the drought. For stock raising and grazing the. region lylug lu the extreme western part and headiunrlor of the White and Dad rivers will be found most suitable. Tho timber will bo found along the rivers and creeks and very little In any other place. Some of tho deeper gulches have scraggy pines, oalu and cedars growing In them, but not enough for any practical purposes.

The country north of the Bad river and south of tho Choyeune river contains probably tho land best adapted for mixed tanning, being less broken nnd lrrcgnlar, away from tho streams, and therefore better adapted for tillage The soil is very fertile wbero It has be on tried, yielding magnificent returns of potatoes and other garden vegetables, those being tho only crops planted on the uplands so far.

BISMAHCK, N. D., Fob. 11.—Tho scheme to glvo the Louisiana lottery a legale foothold in this State was on Monday •quelohod with a suddonness that mado some- of its supporters diizy. A careful canvass of the.
