! HUUSIi HiiIJJS A SESSION Fear of No Quorum Present Limits Business to Unimportant Routine. : NICHOLSON BILL PETITIONS. Another Lot of Minor Measures Ara Laid Under the Mod—Snbetilute Offered For the Nowhoilae Mortgage Exemption Bill—General Appropriation Bill to Be Introduced this Week— Htate News. Indianapolis, Feb. 11.—The house held a session Saturday morning and disposed of the rollcall for new bills and ' the call of committees. Among the new bills introduced was one providing for the consolidation of street railroad and ’' electric light companies; an insurance bill, requiring companies to make more thorough statement to the auditor in I order that their solvency may be de- ' termined; an antipass bill by Mr. Robi inson, providing a penalty for the use of ! passes by public officials; a bill authoiiz- ’. ing county commissioners to grant rights I of way to electric roads; a bill amending i the law for the incorporation of trust 1 companies and a bill by Mr. Van Arsdal for the establishment of a railroad commission comixtsed of three members ap- ( pointed by the governor, auditor andsecretary of state and having powers ', within the state similar to those of the | interstate commerce commission. Mr. : Stotsenbnrg introduced a resolution i memorializing congress and asking it to pass a bill restricting the powers of the ('federal courts in the appointment of ■ railroad receivers. Pet tims for the I enactment of the Nicholson tempi rance ■ bill with 4,000 names attached were ; handed in. v Consider Committee Report*. On the call of committees the usual crop of minor bills went under the sod. The elections committee attempted to ’ report on the Miller-Bowers contest but was cut off by the speaker. The secret of this was tbe fact that there was such a meager attendance that a rollcall would have developed no quorum. The ; ways and means committee reported a I ’ substitute for the Newhouse mortgage ! exemption bill. This limits t.he offset that can be offered against the valuation I of real estate to SSOO of the mortgage inI debtcdne.w thereon ami makes it gen end, so that it will operate on an indebtedness "held without the state as well as within. This will include the ! railroads, though as the amount is limited to iJoOO it does not cut much' figure with them. The house adopted i the report. The railroad committee reported certain amendments to the Van Arsdal sleeningcar bill pretty thorough- ; ly masculatmg the measure. Mr?- Van I ' Arsdal ma;left serious objection and the report was not concurred in. Precisely the same thing occurred when the com- ’ mittee on roads rejxirted adversely on . Remy’s roa/1 bill. The committee on natural resources reported favorably upon Mr. Hundley's bill giving cities and towns the right to regulate the price of natural gas. r Forecast For the Week. i "The ways and means committee expects to introduce the general appropri- ■ ation bill into the bouse the latter part , of this week, and it is possible that the ■ fee and salary bill f and legislative ap- ; portioninent bill will be discussed on the | floor before the week is over. The sen- ; ate will begin the investigation of the feebleminded institute at Fort Wayne, ; and will probably take up and dispose of the militia reorganization bill. The senate soldiers’ home bill is before the ' . house committee on ways and means ’ and will be reported this week with the [ appropriation cut to $75,000, and it is £ robable that the bill will pass the ouse at that figure.

Indianapolis, Feb. 11.—An attempt, was made last night to burn the When block, which resulted in almost the complete destruction of the stock of A. J. Treat, merchant tailor, and, but for the efficient work of the fire department, the entire block would have gone up in flames. As it was, the fire was entirely confined to the room occupied by A. J. ' Treat. He carried a stock of $20,000. i with $15,0' v » insurance, and what es-, caped the flames was ruined either by smoke or water. Wna Gln<l to Get Oat. Anderson, Ind., Feb.

Great 1 interest is attached to the forthcoming i ' trial of the ex-queen. The government | ! claims to have more than sufficient evi- : deuce to convict her of treason. What her punishment will be in case of con- ; viction is hard to conjecture. She s charged with treason. The charge reads: I Chnirgi-* Ag<limit the cx-Queen. ] 1. Treason, by engaging in open rebellion , against the republic of Hawaii by atteinptI ing by force of arms to overthrow and de- ; stroy the same and by .levying war against 1 j the same and by adhering to tbe enemies I of the republic of Hawaii, giving them ajd ; and comfort within the Hawaiian islands and elsewin-re 2. Treason, by aiding, allotting, proenr- ] ing, counseling, inciting, countenancing and encouraging others to commit treason , XtO engage in open rebellion against the , blic of Hawaii, and to attempt by force of arms to overthrow the same, and i to adhere to the eue.mies of tbe republic of Hawaii in giving them aid and comfort in I the Hawaii islands and e'se.w here. j There are six specifications in the charge. The military commission has brought in fihdings in 24 cases. Their names are: R. W. Wilcox, S. W. Nowleiu, H. E. Bertlemau. Carl Widemaun, W. H. C. Greig, Louis Marshall, W. C. Laue, J. C. June, C. T. Gurlick. W. H. Rickard. W. Seward, T.'B. Walker, Solomon Kauia, Belahua, Lot Lane, , Thomas Poote. J. Kalaukia, Robert Palua, J. W. Kipikane, Kilioun. Joseph Clark. D. Jauuha, W. WidthJoseph A. Kiakhi. Lenders Sentenced to Hang. Os the for. icing, D. Jauuah and J. Kaluak r ■were acquitted. The. others i were all found guilty and sentences were fixed by the commission subject; tp review by President Dole. The sentences vary much, all the wav from i sentence oi <-.ea(n to imprisonment tor ' five years with lines. The lowest sentence lor treason by the Hawaiian statute is imprisonment for five years and a fine of not less than $5,000. The six i leaders were all sentenced to be hung. \ They are: Charles T. Gulick. William H. Rickard, William T, Seward. Robert : W. Wilcox, Samuel Nowleiu aud Henry I Bertelman. Senteace in the last two cases will be commuted, as both men ; have furnished valuable evidence for the government. Gulick was born in this country. Rickard is an English’’ mau. Wilcox is a Hawaiian. The ouly one of the four who is entitled to the protection of the United States is William T. Seward. As yet no date has been set for the executions. A batch of 20 native rebels, charged with treason, is now occupying the attention of the court. United States Minister Willis has changed his attitude sojnewh.it since the last advices. He is not so belligerent in his demands. His latest communication to the government is a request that if the death penalty is imposed in cases of any Americans that the executions be postponed until he can communicate with his government. The British commissioner has made a similar request, Two Americans In the Conspiracy. Thus far but two men who claim American protection have been tried. They are Louis Marshall, charged with open rebellior. and Thomas Walker, who pleaded guilty to charge of treason. The government has decided to banish three persons from the islands for complicity in the rebellion. They are J, E. Cranston and A. Muller for conspiracy to use dynamite and J. B. Johnstone, special officer who turned traitor. The men will be sent on the Warn mo leaving fbr Victoria today. Cranston and Muller were to blow up the Central Union church on the night when the rebellion broke out.. Os the three exiles, Johnstone is n British subject, Cranston an American and Mueller a German. i TRIALS WILL BE FAIR. — 1 i Minister Thurston Makes a Statement Relative to Hawaiian Difficulties. i Washington, Feb. 11. —Lorain A. Thurston, the Hiwaiiau minister, being asked whether he had any information concerning the alleged sentencing to death of some of the leaders in the late Hawaiian insurrection, and whether, in his opinion, such sentences if given would be earned out, made the following statement: “I have received no direct communication concerning the sentences, nor do I know what action will lie taken; but from my intimate acquaintahce with all of the Hawaiian authorities, and their characteristics, I can positively say that all trials will be open and fair; that the accused will be allowed the assistance of counsel of their choosing, who will lie allowed the fullest right of cross-exam-ination aud of defense; that there will be no convictions whitffi are not based upon the -y -—J "If there is. any particular policy in which the Hawaiian government has erred in'the post txi’o years, it. has been in having been too lenient in dealing with those who have continuously schemed, to overthrow it; first by strategic diplomacy, and then by force. “From its inception the government has exhibited a leniency toward its enemies that is unparalleled in history. This extreme lenieiicy Jwis bieen a feature of the of President Dole, which has caused criticism from many of hjs strongest supporters.’’ Weather.

Y.) presented a resolution defining the policy of the government to pay its bonds in gold in case the parity between gold and silver conld not successfully b • maintained. Mr. Stewart, representing the radical silver element, submitted a counter resolution declaring that the government had no right to prefer gold to silver. The resolution went over under the senate rules tint they offer an opportunity tor a renewal of spirited conflict over the financial sitniftion. Mr. Hill sought to secure action on , his resolution and it is believed he will ’ push it today. It is considered improbable, however, that the senate will ! specifically define the government’s , policy on gold payments in case the . bimetallic ratio -is disturbed. Most of the day was spent on the postoflice appropriation bill, a spirited contest being I made against the senate amendment giving the president discretion in expending the $3,200,000 for railway postal routes. There is such freedom of debate in the ; senate that Mr. Allen branched off into an elaborate presentation of the alleged ' frauds in the last Alabama election. ; Mr. Allen presented tables supported by affidavits showing that 37,000 fraudulent votes were counted in the. "black belt” of Alabama. Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota presented a resolution directing the president to secure private counsel to. prosecute the rights of the government against the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads. The senator said he would have some interesting statenfents to present as to irregularities in man- , agement of these and some other roads. The senate hail not completed the postoffice appropriation bill up to the time of adjournment. In tlie House. The legislative appropriation bill, to which the house devoted yesterday, was j completed save for the paragraph relating to the pension offices. Several i amendments were agreed to, among ' them to allow the. public printer to bid tor the work of publishing the Patent- j ' office Gazette, io allow courts of apiieals to use half the surplus.fees of the clerk's office and courts for the purchase of new law books; to establish a refinery at Helena. Mont., assay office for seperat-, ing gold and silver and molding them into ingots, bars, etc., and to-;refer the . claims of the Cherokee nation for moneys due under early treaties to the attorney general for review. A bill to provide for coinage at the branch mint at Denver was passed. buying gold. Large Amounts Are Now Being Delivered at the Assay Otth’e. Washington, Feb. 12.—Sewetary Carlisle informedtlfe New .-York syndicate .with whom the $3,500,000 in gold were ' contracted tor that interest on the bonds given in payment would not be charged after the-deposit of the gold, aud in Consiajuema* a large amount of gold was yesterday defiven d at the assay office.

Feb.. .4.3.—The house committee on Pacific railroads has decided to report the Reilly Pacific railway bill back to the house for further consideration. The committee decided that the house should have another opportunity to vote upon tlie bill in view of the fact that resolution recommitting the bill to the committee stated that sufficient tine' had upt been allowed for its consideration. In reporting the bill I the committee will also submit without recommendation the proposition made 1 by the railway companies to pay the principal of the debt,without the interest, o This acrion is to enable the house to vote on the proposition if it desires.
