Dorsey, of Arkansas, from the confer
ence committee on the bill for a per
manent form of government for the
District of Columbia, called up the re
port submitted Saturday. Concurred
m without discussion The bill now
goes to the President for his signature.
Bpencer, of Alabama, moved to take
up the bill submitted by him on Satur
day, authorizing the appointment of a
special committee to inquire into the
alleged frauds in connection with the
recent presidential election, and began
to read his argument . in iavor of the
passage of the resolution, stating that
the Republican party would have sub
mitted to the administration of .Presi
dent Hayes for the brief period of four
years, but that the investigation was
e-opened by tne democrats.
Morrill, of Vermont, made a point
of as Jo whether the Senate had the
right to discuss the merits of the ques
tion on tne motion to take up, and
said that two or three mornings have
been frittered away, when they should
have been devoted to the considera-
ion of bills on the calendar.
Spencer said that he desired only
five minutes.
Morrill then withdrew his paint of
order, and the motion to taKe up tne
resolution was agreed to.
Sargent submitted an amendment to
have the investigation made by the
Matthews committee, appointed Satur
day, instead of the special committee.
The resolution and amendment were
referred to the committee on Privileg
es and Elections.
Sargent inquired of Wadleigh, the
chairman of the committee on Privil
eges and Elections, if it was the inten
tion of the committee to submit the
report upon the sixteenth amendment
to the constitution of tne United states,
conferring suffrage upon women, at
this session. Wadleigh replied that it
was the intention of the committee to
do so.
Davis, of Illinois, Whyte, of Mary
land, and Jones, of Florida, were, at
their own request, excused from ser-
vice on tne Matthews investigation
committee, appointed Saturday.
Ex-uongressman Dr Darrell, of Lou
isiana, is here under a subpoena from
the Potter commission. A subprena
was served on Matthews this morning

The Judiciary committee meets at
9 to-morrow, when a vote on the Kim
mel bill will be taken. An adverse
report is almost certain, and it may be
stated that the committee are arguing
the legal phases of the question. Ihe
matter of inexpediency does not enter
into the argument.

The.rhotion by which certain Sena
tors were excused from serving on the

ignore the subpoena from the Potter

will appeal to the House. Proceedings

first position in either race.
Berlin, June 10. The Liberal news
papers regret the proposed dissolution
of the Reichstag. They profess to be-
leve that a Liberal majority will again
be returned to Parliament, more than
ever determined to resist tbe reaction
ary policy: whereas, if the present par
ties are reconciled and a definite rule
against the socialistic agitation and
lawlessness is submitted, a majority
would acceptit and thus save the coun
try from the reactionary and ultra
montane experiments. The govern
ment does not share the belief that a
Liberal majority will be elected. Prince
Bismarck evidently counts upon a
thorough political revolution, which
will enable him not only to prosecute
the campaign against the Democrats
but carry these measures of economy
and domestic policy.

The latter is believed to have been kill
ed.
Reinforcements have been sent An
other fight was expected yesterday. A
considerable body of Indians were seen
last night near Cold Spring station, 65
miles from Boise City. All accounts
agree that the Indians are continually
passing across the stage road and
across Snake river between Big Cram's
prairie and the scene of hostilities in
Owibee county. Gen Howard is ex
pected at boi8e City Tuesday, a column
of troops from Westville will arrive a
day later. The Indians will probably
make their first stand in the Juniper
mountain region, but it is evident that
only a portion of their fighting force is
there. They will also remain in the
Lava Beds until dislodged or forced to
surrender.
