WASHINGTON, July 10.—Tho Presiden I. lias referred tho bill for tho admission of Wyoming to tho AttornoyGcneral to ascertain whether thoro aro any legal objections to its approval. Ho has also referred tho legislative appropriation bill to tho Secretary of tho Treasury for examination.

RHNATK.

WASHINGTON, .July 1(1.—In tho Senate yesterday the presiding oflicer (Sonator lngalls) announced his signature to tho bill for tin1 admission of Wyoming as a .State. The bill now goes to the President for his signature.

Tho consideration of tho eonforonco report on the silver bill was resumed, and Senator Coekrell (Mo.) continued his argument against the report. Ho criticised the last clause of tho second section of tho conference bill, and said that tho language therein used Indicated a proforonco for a single gold standard. Tho Secretary of the Treasury would so interpret It. Until parity liotwoon the metals was established gold would bo given tho preference and the logal-tondor notes would bo redeemed in gold.

Senator Coekrell, taking up tho third section of tho conference bill, entered his "most earnest and solemn protest against it" as moaning' a practical cessation of silver coinage after July, 1891.

Senator Mitchell (Ore.), in tho courso of some questions involving Senator Cockrell's consistency, remarked that while he (Mitchell) was in favor of tho free and unlimited coinage of sllvor ho would support tho conference bill bocauso it was all that the friends of silver could get.

Senator Coekrell said ho believed that if the Senate rejected tho report tho IIouso would In tho ond agree to tho Senate bill.

Senator Daniel (Ya.) addrossed tho Senate in opposition to the report. The silver question,. he said, was a great deal bigger than tho President of tho United States whether the President's name were Xienjamin Harrison or ('.rover Cleveland—and it was never going to bo won (as It ought to be) until tho Sonate was as great as the question. The Senato and the House ought never to give up tho vantage ground which silver has gained, but would reply to those who opposod it as tho gallant oflicer replied to tho domand for his surrender: "Como and tako mo." Sooner or later, Sonator Daniel declared, Congress and tho ICxecutlve would como into collision on tho silver question. If that collision must come, he asked, why not lnt.it .como now? Ue would ha vo .tho conference report rejected, and, if possible, have the Senate bill, or a bill framed upon its lines, passed and sent to the President. If tho Prosidont should veto it Congress should thon try to pass it over the veto.

Senator Morgan (Ala.) took tho fleor, but, seeing that ho could not finish his remarks, did not speak. Tho Sonato adjourned with the assurance that a voto on the bill will be taken to-day.

The Senate, in executive session, confirmed the nomination of General B. N. Bachelder to be Quartermaster-General of tho army. ltOl'K.

WASHINGTON, .July 10.—In tho House Wednesday Mr. llitt (111.), from the committee on foreign alTalrs, reported back a resolution requesting the Prosidont to furnish the IIouso with correspondence between tho Government of the United States and Great Hritain touching tho subjects in dispute in Bobring soa since March 4, 18S9. Tho resolution was adopted.

Mr. llitt presented tho conference roport on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. In tho courso of the discussion, reference having boon made to the appropriation made by tho last bill for tho protection of tho United States' rights in Samoa, Mr. McMillan (Tonn.) declared that it now appeared that tho entire result of tho Samoan negotiations had been to enthrone a King who had boon dethroned by his people, a fact not generally known. Our representatives sont abroad for tho purpose of settling Samoan matters had actually gone to tho extent of overriding tho will of tho people of Samoa and setting up as King a scapegrace who had been dethroned, and, moreover, this Amorican Administration had undertaken to pay part of the expenses of his kingdom. lie did not impugn tho action of tho committee on foreign affairs in providing for the protection of our property. rtut we had entered into treaty negotiations nnd made a King. Wo had mot the enemy and wo were theirs. It was a disgrace to the American people and to tho administration which was responsible for tho negotiations.

Mr. McCreary (Ky.). who was chairman of the committee on foreign affairs during the last Congress, said he bolieved we had done tho best that could bo done, and the gentleman was putting it too strongly. If ho was not satisfied with the negotiations ho could introduce a bill to carry out his views or lio could call for the correspondence with foreign nations.

Mr. llitt demanded the previous question, declining to yield to Mr. McMiUln, who was desirous of continuing tho Samoan controversy. Thereupon Mr. McMillin raised the point of no quorum. Mr. Rogers (Ark.) moved that tho House adjourn. Lost—yeas, 70 nays, !is.

The previous question was then ordered—yeas, 10:!: nays, 41—tho Speaker counting a quorum, and then Mr. McMillin. w)io had voted in the uflirinatlvo for that purpose, moved a reconsideration. The vote on tabling tho motion to reconsider resulted —yeas, 101 nays. r0. tho Speaker counting a quorum and declaring tho motion carried.

Mr. llrecklnrldge (Ky.) ohallongod the correctness of the count, instancing the names of Knloo, Herbert, Grain and Flthinn, and saying that they had not been prosont. Subsequently, on representations mado by Mr. Taylor and Mr. Stockbridge, ho withdrew his cliallongo to tho names of Crain and Flthian, but persevered in it as far as tho numbs ol Enloe and Herbert were concernod.

Tho Speaker, whilo admitting the ncceHsity for absolute correctness in tho record of those members present and not voting, said that, ovon eliminating the

DAILY

names oi r.nme uim 11 1Lie11, I,I,11 a quorum present. He thereforo doclarod the moti»i to table carried and put the question on agreeing to tho conference report. Tho voto resulted— yoas, 111 nay*, :S3. The Speaker was unablo to count a quorum, so th.- conference report was not agreed to for tho present.

Mr. Dingley (Mc.)_entered a motion to reconsider tho voto by which tho marino signal bill was passed and the IIouso then adjourned.

THIS SUNDKY CIVII. HILT,.

C11AWFORDSV1LLE, INDIANA T11URSDA\, .»ULY

WASHINGTON, July la—Tho sundry civil bill as reported to tho Sonato Wednesday by tho appropriations committee carries with ityn appropriation of 831,241,080, an increaso of' £8,181,000. Tho estimates for too yoar were 537,. 84U,5i:i, so that tho bill reported is SO,553,172 less than tho estimates, and S5,955,338 moro than tho bill of last ytfar. Tho most Important feat.iro of the work of the Sonate committoo on this bill is tho elimination from tho measure of tho appropriation of S""7,500 for an irrigation survey. The appropriation for topographical surveys, howovqr, Is Increased from 8200,000 to §!100,000. It is provided thatone-half of this sum shall be expended west of the 101st meridian, and so much of tho act of October 3, 18S8, as provides for tho selection and location of reservoirs and canals upon the public lands and tho reservation of irrigable lands Is ropoaled, provided that reservoirs and canal sites heretofore located or solecticd shall remain segregated androsorved from entry or settlement until otherwise provided by law. The effect of this amendment will bo to prevent any further setting apart of public lands for future irrigation purposes.

An appropriation of §500,000 is made for tho establishment of a Latin-Amor-ican memorial library building in tho city of Washington ah recommended by tho Pan-American conference.

VETOED BY THE PRKS1DEXT.»V'. WASHINGTON, July 10.—Tho President has returned to tho House without his approval the bill extending tho time of payment to purchasers of land of tho Omaha tribe of Indians in Nobraska. Tho President, in his veto, says: "There Is no objection tlial I ltnow of etthci on the part of the United States or of the la dlans to the extcaslo of i.u unpaid instalments due from purchasers. Tills relief is prot ably due to the purchasers.''

Tlio President, however, objects to tho provision "that all the lands tho payment for which is extended shall be subject to taxation by the State of Nebraska as if fully paid for and patents issued."

THE CENSUS.

The

"BOURH Comit" or Our Population Will Hi) Completed About August 1. WASHINGTON, July 10.—Census Superintendent Porter states that tho first count of tho population of the country may be completed by August 1. This Is1'what is termed in tho census office "the rough count,ir but is all that is necossary as a basis for a reapportionment to Congressmen among tho several States. Should it bo completed by August 1 it will lyv^in-: unprecedented ach landmen

ficial count of the population of St. Louis by tho census office was completed yesterday. It shows the city's population to bo 418,124. This is an excess of nliout. 12,000 over the estimate by tho local supervisor.

Tho result of tho official rough count of tho population of Ilaltimoro by tho consus offico here shows a total of 4311,039 people. In 1S80 Baltimore's population was 332,313.

is said, tho ofiicial count will not materially change these figures. Complaints of omission have ieon received by the supervisor, but it is doubtful whether any thing will be dono to secure a now count unless some united action is takon. This count does not include about 35,000 people In tho suburbs of Detroit, who will probably be brought in at tho nextsossion of the Legislature. Tho official count gives Ann Arbor 0,350, a gain of 2,000 slnco 1884.

PROTECTED BY AMERICA.

riifl Capital of Cnrra Occupied by Admiral lSeiknap and IIU Marines. YOKOHAMA, July 10.—Seoul has been occupiod by American marines, and Corea is now virtually in tho hands of Amoricans. The uneasinoss in English and Russian naval circles, which was so pronounced as to render every one alert for a fortnight, past, is just explained in an unexpected way. Instead of the Russians having occupied Corea, as was generally supposod whon British ships began to puff into tho harbor, the United States steamer Swatara, lying off Shemulpo, sont her officers and marines to Seoul. They are now living in the King's palace. Admiral Belknap was appealed to hy tho King for protection and ho promptly gave it.

Commander McGownn and his staff are feasting with tho King and his two Amorican advisers, Denny and Genoral Lo Geldro. The Swatara lies off the city, flying the stars and stripes, and developments aro anxiously watched for.

Long hvfnre the hour set for the ompetitum the amphitheater was dotted with expectant onlookers, and when tho bugle sounded the sharp call to fall in fully 2.500 peoplo had assembled on the fair grounds. The conditions nf the contests were that all divisions competing should consist of captain, lieutenant and herald. Sir Knights t'uard and .si-ntinel. and twentyfour Sir Knights in line. This number was required for both division and battalion drill and for divisions which contested for the long-dis-tance prize. The tactics used was that of General Carnalmn, which was revised tn l^S'A The inspectors of the prize drill were all regulararmy officers as follows: Captain Charles King, I'. S. A., of Milwaukee Colonel Thomas W. Griffith, of Lincoln. Neb. Lieutenant 11 njfli T. Ready, of Chicago: Lieutenant Leroy C. Rondiez, of Fort Totten. N. IK: Lieutenant A. Pickering, of Lafayette, Ind., and Lieutenant II. A. Reside, of Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

Tho Red Cross division of St. Louis marched upon the grounds and was greeted with cheers." Captain ,T. I. Schick was in command, and bo put his men through the movements In a remarkably short space of time. Tho division from New Albany, Iiul., under command of Captain II. M. Cooper, next marched on. This company wore silver helmets. Captain James Bayno and his company from Grand Rapids, Mich., were enthusiastically welcomed as they came out, headed By a brass band.

Tho drill coiitest will be continued to-day. Wednesday afternoon thero was a review of the Pythian army by General Carnahan and staff. Six thousand uniformed Knjghts participated, and the dress parado and review made a tine military spectacle which aciowd of 10,000 people thoroughly enjoyed.

The. Supreme Lodge nssetublod at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning for the second session. Tho meeting was devoted almost exclusively to routine work, and about the only thing of especial Interest was an incidental reference to the Ohio representation trouble. Under the laws of the order every grand lodgo is entitled to two delegates and one additional delegate for each lp.OOO mombers over 20,000. Ohio

tho only State making a claim to mpro than two representatives. Tho Knights of that State sent throe, on tho ground that they have S2.000 members in tho? State. After alGli(Cthy discussion, during which some liule feeling was shown on account of a former wrangle in tho order, Ohio was accorded the three delegates claimed. The lodge adjournod to meet this morning.

Interest in to-day's election will center principally in the choice of supreme vice-chsricollor. tho promotion of Vico-Chancellor Shaw to the supremo Chancellorship lving assured. The contest will he, it is said, between W. W. Iilackwoll. of Kentucky, and J. D. King, of Ontario, who are the most prominent candidates. It is also believed that Boston will be selected as tho meeting-place of the'conclave in 1802.

Tho liquor question promises to furnish subject matier for some lively discussion before tho sossion is concluded, and among members of the order it is considered the most Important business which will come before the lodge at this timo. Both the Indiana and the Ohio grand lodges have made by-laws excluding saloon-keepers from membership, and it conies before the supreme body on an appeal from Indiana. Therb is no doubt that growing feeling exists against the admission of saloonkeepers, and it is an open secret that certain lodges outside uf Indiana and Ohio practice the rule without a bylaw to enforce it. Should it come to question of amending the supremo lodge constitution so as lo exclude sa-loon-keepers from membership In subordinate lodges there is little doubt but that it would be overwhelmingly defeated at the present time. But a long fight will he made to so amend tho supreme lodgo constitution as to permit grand lodges to adopt such a by-law.

The Pythian Sisters, the female feature of Pythianism, were in session Wednesday at tho Pythian Templo on Grand avenue, butonly routlno business was transacted. In the evening tho Warsaw (Ind.) lodge of twenty sisters exemplified tho work of tho order. Tho Warsaw lodge is the pioneer lodge of the order and was instituted less than a year ago. Tho growth the order has been remarkable. From tho little initiative twenty of Warsaw tho lodgo has grown to a membership of 1,000 In seventy lodges and divided among sixteen States. Only wives, mothers, sisters or daughters of Knights of Pythias are admitted to membership.
