nnd a few other Oklahoma boomers. Something had to bo done by theraajoriij, ivho are responsible for the methods and quality of busines transacted. Instead of suppressing Weaver, a secret treatv was negotiated between that p-lackv member and the Speaker, by which the House was surrendered, practically, to one mah. The committee on rales was aseembled, and unanimously reported the -decision as to tho . o'clock limitation. I his -was not approved by tho Republicans, who regarded it as an indorsement ol the bargain made with Weaver. They were surprised that Reed and. Cannon hould a pre to this proposition, in view of the fact that they had been turned down by li lib listen when the Speakerhad nnitcd with them m a report to limit aach proceedings. The action of Reed and Cannon was regarded as a surrender of the position held by the Republicans, and thev refused to ratify it. It was at this point that the lieutenants of Burroughs and McKinley perceived an advantage to be gained over the rival candidates for the speakership, Reed and Cannon, and were swift to improve it. They pointed out that it was another exhibition of bad leadership on the part of Reed and weakness on the part of Cannon. The Democrats were divided on the question at issue, and it was the duty of those two putative leaders to have made an etiqrt to secure some advantage for the Republicans, rather than to have joined in the surrender to Weaver. Reed and Cannon recognized their dilemma, and straggled against it. When the vote was taken, however, it showed that these two candidates for Speaker had marched with the Democratic column alone into the camp of the victorions filibuster Weaver. Thus a simple question relating to the orderly proceedings of the House may be made to lead to combinations that will decide who shall preside over tho next House. SENATOR-ELE CT EDGERTON.

da Talks of Admission of Dakota and an Extra Session of Congress. Epelal to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 15. To-night your correspondent asked Senator-elect Edgerton, of South Dakota, what he thought the prospects were for the Senate bill pending in the House, providing for the division of his territory, and the admission to statehood of the southern half. Senator Edgerton replied: "The vote on the proposition to divide Dakota will be very close, and it may be that it will be defeated. The Senate bill or the omnibus substitute will, however, go the Senate. This will pnt the whole matter in the hands of a conference committee, and it is my judgment that - the result will be the introduction of a measure dividing Dakota, admitting, the Southern half to statehood, and making States of the Territories of Montana, Washington and New Mexico. The Democrats can easily see that this would be good politics and good business, sense. If it is not done I am confident that at an extra session of Congress, two States will bo made of Dakota and three of the other Territories named. Yes, I think there will be an extra session of the Fifty-first Congress. An extra session . would cause a decrease of President Harrison's labors, because office-seekers would have to approach the President in the regular way, . through their Congressman, if Congress was in session, whereas if there was a vacation the office-seekers would come here, and they would multiply in number immensely. The extra work in the way of office-seeking would devolve upon the men in Congress if there was an extra lession, and not upon the President. Congressmen seek offices for their constituents m a way much more pleasant to the PresiIdent than the constituents do. They go about it in a hurry, and quit it when they -jet through." , MINOR MATTERS. Judge Thomas J, Anderson and Ills Chances for Confirmation by the Senate. Special to tbo Indianapolis Journal. I Washington, Jan. 15. Thomas J. Anderson, who was yesterday nominated by the President for tho position of Chiefjustice of tho Territory of Idaho, is at present holding the position of Deputy Commissioner of Public Lands, having been appointed a httlo over a year ago to succeed Mr. Stoekslager, after the latter" was elevated to the commissionership, to succeed Mr. Sparks. He is an Iowau, and to your correspondent said, this evening, that be had never been east of Chicago until a vear ago last month, when ho eamo to Washington to assume tho duties of the office he now occupies. He had, however, been an extensive traveler through tho West, having made the trip overland to the Pacific coast when he was a voungman, before there were any railroads west of Omaha. In appearance he resembles very much the late Thomas A. Hendricks, who at one time occupied the position of public lands commissioner. It is thought that tho Senate will confirm Mr. Anderson's nomination for the Idaho justiceship, as the Iowa Senators show no disposition to oppose it. Senator Wilson 6aid, to-day, that he know of no reason why Mr. Anderson's appointment should not be confirmed. Senator Allison, so far, has not expressed himself. Indiana Patents.

Eefusal to Enjoin the Police from Interfering with Them Rights of the Former.' Chicago, Jan. 15. Judge Tuley, of tho Circuit Court, this morning rendered his decision in the application of tho an archistic Arbeiter Bund for an injunction to restrain the police authorities from interfering with their meetings. Thechencellor denied the prayer of the petitioners. The judge declined to grant tho injunction because, he said, he had the assurance of the city officials that his decision as to tho right of the complainants to assemble would be respected. His decision is that they have the right to peaceably assemble, and that the police cannot, in advance of a contemplated meeting, assume that it is going to be illegal and make that assumption a pretext for its prohibition. Therefore he considers the formal issuance of an injunction at this time unnecessary. "I find no reason to differ with the master," said the court, "in his finding that there was no right to assume that the members of this society were about to meet for an unlawful act. Assemblies for tho purpose of establishing a co-operativo or profitsharing system, instead of the wage system, have been held in many countries, and under the free government there exists no law which prohibits the assembling of people for the establishment of such a system. Xheir objects may be the overturning of existing institutions, but they have a right to publicly meet and peacefully discuss their projects. Tho right of free speech is a natural one, ami can never be overturned under a republican fr rm of government. The objects of tho association of which Spies and others belonged were vitally different from those of this particular society. Tho counsel for the city had argued that the Supreme Court had pronounced anarchy as an evil and as criminal. That was not so; tho Supreme Court denounced some of the principles of anarchy, but it had pronounced no edict of outlawry against anarchy as a body." The court addressed himself to a disquisition on the law relating to the question whether the police had authority under tho law to prohibit meetings on tho plea of "preventing crime." The court at much length went on to show that the police had no such general power under tho law. Iam astounded to find," said the court, 'in this ago, and in a free country, that it should be sought to be held by argument this I upon an affidavit setting forth the mero belief that the members of a society hold treasonable principles, it should not be allowed to hold a meeting." HARDSHIP AND RESCUE AT SEA. Return of a Captain Who Was Supposed to Have Been Lost in a Storm Long Ago. Philadelphia, Jan. 15. Capt. E. S. Truitt, his schooner, tho William Wiler, and his crew of six men, were long ago believed to have gone to tho bottom in the voyage from hero to Richmond. Captain Truitt, aiivo and well, to-day walked into the office of Henry D. May, owner and consignee of the vessel, and told him a story of great hardship at sea. "Three days out from Philadelphia, off Chincoteague," he said, "we encountered a series of gales, until the 2Sth of November. The day following another northwesterly gale was experienced, and it never terminated until Christmas day. It would be impossible for lne to explain tho sufferings and hardships we entlured for that thirty days." The captain says that tho men were entirely overcome with the work at the pumps, and that death stared them in the face several times. On Christmas day the vessel was nearly 1,000 miles out of her course, to the eastward of Sandy Hook, and on tho morning of tho 20th rockets of distress were fired and answered by the British bark Edith, Captain Mervin, bound from Bremerhaven to New York. The captain and crew were rescued from starvation and death, and the captain feels it his duty to publicly express his deep gratitude, and that of the surviving shipmates, to Captain Mervin. who did everything in his power to make them comfortable onboard.

AX ALABAMA IAXCIUXG. "Quiet" Men Ham a Xegro and Riddle His Body with Bullets for an Alleged Crime. Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 15. The negro, George Meadows, was hung at the Pratt mines this morning by a mob of quiet but determined men, who had him in chargo all day yesterday and all last night. While Mrs. Kellam, his victim, was almost positive in her identification this morning, just as she was yesterday, she still asked the mob not to hang him, as she might possibly be mistaken. There is little doubt that this was because she shrank from tho responsibility of saying what she knew would cause certain death, ami the mob so regarded it. It was proved at the coroner's inquest yesterday, that Meadows had previously ravished a negro girl, and the crowd this morning concluded that this solved what little doubt there was as to his being the ravisher in this ease, and so swung him up and riddled his body with bullets. His body hangs at the mines now, about one-half mile from the scene of his crime. He protested his innocence to tho last. Sheriff Smith, who will Ik? remembered in connection with the killing at the Birmingham jail during the Hawes excitement, is of opinion that they have lynched the wrong man so far as the present crime is coin cerned, he claiming to have tho right man in jail.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. A Proposal to Admit Salt Free Gives Kit to Long Debates on Various Subjects. Washington', Jan. 15. On motion of Mr. Voorhees, tho Senate bill referring to the Court of Claims the claim of the State National Bank, of Louisiana, for cotton taken by agents of the Treasury Department after the SOth of June, 1SC5, was taken from the calendar and passed. The Senate, at 12:20, resumed consideration of the tariff bill, tho pending question being on Mr. Vest's amendment to strike from the free list "attar of roses" and substitute 'salt' The amendment gave ri so to a lengthy debate, Mr. Vest occupying most of the time in its advocacy. Messrs. Morrill, Hiseock. Palmer and Teller spoke strongly against the measure. The subject led to the effect of tariff on wages, and that question was discussed by Senators Butler, Aidrich, Dawes, Teller, Reagan and Hiscock. Further along it drifted into-the question of alleged depreciation in farming lands in Xew England and New York, Senators Vest and Butler claiming that this depreciation refuted the claim that manufacturers were a benefit to agriculture, and Senators Hiscock, Dawes and Hoar denying the fact of any such depreciation. The results of the election in the State of New York was also brought in as a aide issue, and Mr. Butler reminded Mr. Hiscock that, although the result was against Cleveland, it was in, favor of Hill. "Oh, yes," said Mr. Hiscock, "wherever rum was on the banner, Democracy was successful."

"Did not Governor Hill indorse theIills bill!" Mr. Butler asked. "Governor Hill," Mr. Hiscock replied, "is to have no voice on the Mills bill. He is to con tine himself to the question of license high license, low license or no license." Mr. Butler Did not the Chicago convention indorse freo whisky? Mr. Hiscock It did not. I ask the Senator from South Carolina if he is not quite ready to repeal the internal revenue tax on whisky, whether protection goes or not, Mr. 'Butler I would retain tho tax on whisky. Mr. lliscock Then you do not indorse the Mills bill. Mr. Butler The Mills bill does not propose free whisk v. Mr. Hiseock Iho Mills bill contains a provision which practically allows the free distillation of whisky. After live and one-half hours of discussion, the bill was laid aside without a vote on the pending amendment, and after an executive session the Senate adjourned. t Debate on the Territorial Admission Dill. Washington', Jan. 15. In the House, Mr. Springer, of Illinois, called up, as the special order, the Senate bill for the admission of South Dakota and the organization of the Territory of North Dakota. The bill having been read in full. Mr. Springer took the floor in explanation of the measure and in advocacy of the substitutethe omnibus bill which ho proposed to ofier at a proper time. He premised his rema rks w ith the statemant that he would endeavor to secure a vote to-day. He sketched briefly the action of the Constitutional convention held in Dakota in September, 18S5, which had formulated a Constit ution for the State of South Dakota. The Constitution had been submittedtothe people and ratified by a vote of 25,000 to 0,000. The total vote had been only 31,000, while at that time there had been 05,000 voters in the Territory. In view of the smallness of the vote, he insisted justice to the people of Dakota required that a new convention should bo held. He called attention to the various provisions of the Constitution of 1885, which he considered as having been formulated hastily, and argued that they presented another reason why a new convention should be held. He criticised the clause of the Constitution declaring that all the existing archives, records and books belonging to the Territory of Dakota should belong to the State of South Dakota. Under that clause, the Secretary of State of the new State was authorized to go to Bismarck and denude the capitol there of every scran of paper and every book belonging to the Territory. Mr. Cox, of New York, believed that Congress had been derelict in regard to the admission of Dakota and other Territories. He was in favor of the omnibus bill, with certain amendments, but he was willing to

help along any little conference between the two houses of Congress which would result in elevating the Territories to tho rank of statehooL Every Territory, except Utah, should bo admitted into the Union when it had a population sufficient, under the law, to elect a member of Congress. Somo gentlemen talked about tho annexation of Canada. It would be time enough to annex Canada when thenebulous Territories had put off their rudimentary and donned their stately stoles of manhood. In conclusion Mr. Cox paid an eloquent tribute to the great West, and was warmly applauded. Mr. Giflbrd, of Dakota, defended the Constitution adopted by tho constitutional convention of Dakota from tho criticisms advanced against it by Mr. Springer. The people of South Dakota were satisfied with it. The people of Dakota wanted no further vote upon the question of division. They would never accept tho admission of Dakota as one State. Mr. Toole, of Montana, strenuously advocated the admission of Montana, and inveighed against carpet-bag authority in the Territories. Tho Garfield and Cloveland administrations had promised to relieve the Territories, but both had failed. Tradition said wise men camo from tho Last, and his Republican friends have determined that history should Tepeat itself. Some of those hot-houso plants had been too frail to stand transplanting in the northern clime; Others holding religiously to tho doctrine that federal office-holders should never die nor resign, had stayed in tho Territories, and gave promise of developing into good and useful citizens llaughter; but under Democratic supremacy the time-honored tradition had been violated. Instead of the wise men coming from the Kast it was learned that they came from tho South. Laughter. Far bo it from him to reflect upon the integrity of any man sent to the Territories by tho present administration, or upon the section from which they came. The insolence of office consequent on alien appointments, and the lack of confidence shown in tho people of the Territories, constituted the gravamen of the affront. Those people had hoped for better things from the present administration. Four years ago Montana had been entitled to statehood, and the fa'lure to receive it, together with the violation of tho platform concerning federal appointments in the Territories, had done much to bring alwut the political revulsion there last fall. If he eould summon a trumpet tongue, the proclamation of the Territory protest agsinst carpet-bagism would be so loud that it could be heard all over this broad land. There was only one remedy for the ovil a star on the flag, a, vote and a voice in both braehes of Congress. Without this, there was nothing but political insomnia and unrest. There was a homely maxim that charity began at home. Much had been heard about liome rule in Ireland, and Americahadcontrilmtcdmueh to the establishment of that blessing in that sad land. He would not abate tho slightest interest in so worthy a cans?; but he begged gentlemen not to forget that hero at hoine, under their own flag, home rule in the Territories lay bleeding at tho foot of despotism. T Applause. Ihe people of the Territories had been patient and longHunVrins. hiding their humiliation behind their nridc; but they now found their modesty departing and independence asserting itself. To bo on an equal footing with the States of tho Union was a worthy ambition. Pending further debate tho House adjourned. Residence TJunied. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
