Ev Telegraph to the MomiM Star.
SENATE.
Washington. January 15. Among
the petitions presented and referred was
one by Mr. Evarts, from the Republican
Club of New York, in favor of the Elec-
tions
bill now betore tne
one from the
Manhattan Club, oi ivew
York, adverse thereto.
Mr. Dawes, from the Committee on
Indian Affairs, reported ft resolution
(which was referred to the Committee
on Contingent expenses), directing an
inqu.rv into the condition of Indians in
NJrth and South Dakota Montana and
elsewhere, and the causes leading to the
occupation of Indian reservations by
troojs; whether treaties with the Indians
had been fulfilled; concerning guns and
munitions of war in the possession of
Indians; what steps are needed to dis
arm them, and whether care and control
of Indians living in tribal
Id be transferred to any
relations
other de-
partment of the government.
Mr Morgan offered a preamble and
concurrent resolution on the subject of
the recent information or suggestion lor
a writ of prohibition in the Supreme
Cort. in connection with the Bearing
sea dispute with Great Britain. The
resolution declares such proceeding to
be without precedent, to be prejudice
to comity of nations, and to the usua
and amicable conduct of international
relations, and not to be in consonance
with the dignity of the Government and
people, or with the respect due the
President oi tne uimcu -
to the Committee on foreign
Rela-
tions.
At o nVlnrlf the Elections
bill was
i-,;h hPfnrP the Senate, and Mr. Evarts
re-opened debate.-speaking three hours
and three-quarters in favor ot the bill.
Mr. Pasco obtained the floor, and the
the bill was laid aside informally.
Mr. Hoar gave notice that to-morrow
he should ask the benate to remain
in
session until me um u.j,..v
a short executive session
was held
and the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
After the journal of yesterday had?
been read, Mr. McMillan, ot lennessee,
objected to certain statements therein
concerning yesterday's proceedings with
reference to limiting debate on the Dis
trict Appropriation bill, and moved to
amend.
Mr. Cannon moved to table this mo
tion, and the yeas and nays were de
manded and ordered. By a vote of yeas
128 nays 107 the motion was tabled and
the journal approved.
The House then proceeded to the
consideration of the Conference reports
p,h1ir Buildings bills. Four such
reports were agreed to. The bills
carry no appropriation but place a limit
upon the list of buildings authorized,
which limit indicates the amount of ap
propriation hereafter.
Mr. Dockery. of Missouri, was upon
the floor in criticism of the policy of the
Republicans in incurring liabilities,
whicn the Democratic Hou?e would be
obliged to meet, when a message from
the Senate arrived amending the passage
of the Financial bill with a free coinage
substitute.
Reception of this message by the
Democratic side was cordial and effu
sive, and Mr. Bland expressed the hope
that early action would be had upon
the measure. The bill went on the
Speaker's table.
The Seaker announced the com
mittee to investigate the silver pool
question: Messrs. Dingley, Payne,
Rowell, Dockery and Oats.
Mr. Dockery said that three weeks
ago he had asked the Speaker to ap
point a special committee, and had told
him that he felt free to do so, as he
could not accept service on the com
mittee, inasmuch as it was alleged a
Democratic Representative from Mis
souri on this floor was interested in the
silver pool. He had made a similar
statement to the Speaker yesterday. He
was quite unwilling to be placed in
the position in which he had been
placed that of investigating a question
involving his own hon jr as a Represen
tative and that of his Democratic col
league from Missouri. His judgment
as to his Drooer course had been forti
fied by the opinion of his
fi iends.
Therefore, with ereat respect to the
Speaker, he asked to be excused from
the duty that had been placed upon
him. He would like the Speaker to
corroborate his statement as to his de
clination. The Speaker gave hearty corroboration-
stating however, that he had not
understood the gentleman to decline on
account of any personal feeling. The
Chair, therefore, would submit a ques
tion excusing .the gentleman to the
House.
Mr. Dockery having been excused,
the Speaker appointed Mr. Peel, of Ala
bama, to fill the vacancy.
The House then went into Committee
ot the Whole on the District of Colum
bia Appropriation bill, and was ad
dressed by Mr. Clement, of Georgia, in
general commendation of its provisions,
bnt in special criticism ot several of its
features. At the conclusion of Mr.
Clement's remarks the committee rose
and the House adjourned.
THE CHILIAN REVOLT.
Seizures Made by the Insurgent and
Threats to Blockade the Fort of
Iiulq.ue.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Lima, Peru, via Galveston, Jan.
15. Chilian iron-clad Almirante Coch
ran has seized the cargo left by the
steamer Saratoga, at Iquique. The
Cochran's commander has given notice
that he will blockade Iquique on the
20th inst. The Peruvian government
has received a telegram from its Consul
at Iquique stating that various Consuls
are going to protest against the threat
ened blockade.
The above indicates that the Almi
rante Cochran is one of the vessels tak
ins part in the Chilian revolt.
' FREE COINAGE.
nxt of the Silver Bill as
it Passed the
Senate.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star
Washington, January 15. The Sil
ver bill as passed by the Senate last
night is a free coinage measure, pure
and simple, free from all national bank
and bond legislation contained in the
Financial bill. With the exception ot
a slight technical amendment and
omission of the provision for covering
inm the Treasury the national bank re
demption fund, the bill is like that
passed by the Senate last year, which
was the basis of the compromise em
bodied in the present law. The text is
as follows: ' ,
An Act to provide for f'otnage vf
gold and silver bullion and for other
Th'at'from and after the date of the
pas-age o this act. the unit of value in
he United States shall be the do lar,
onH the same may be coined of tour
hundred and twelve and one-halt grains
of standard silver, or ot twenty-five and
eight-tenths grains of standard gold,
and said coins shall be legal tender for
all debts, public and private.
That hereafter any owner of silver or
gold bullion may deposit the same at
any mint o: tne unacu -
formed into standard dollars or bars,
for his benefit and without charge ; but
it sh '11 be lawful to refuse any deposit
of less value than one hundred dollars,
or any bullion so base as to be unsuit
able for the operations of the mint.
Sec. 2. That the provision ot the section
of "An act to authorize coinage of the
standard silver dollar, and to restore its
legal tender character." which became a
law Feb. 28th, 1878. i hereby made ap
plicable to the coinage in this act pro
vided for. ' .
Sec. 3. That certificates provided for
in the second section of this act shall be
of denominations of not less than one
hundred dollars, and such certificates
chall rv redeemable in coin of standard
value.
A sufficient sum to carry out the pro
visions of this act is hereby appropriated
out of any money in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated.
So much of the act of July 14th. 1890
entitled an act directing the purchase of
silver bullion and issue of treasury notes
and for other purposes," as requires pur
chase of 4.500.000 ounces of silver bul-
h he and the same is
VirefT rerwnled
;er A. That certificates provided for
in this act and all silver and gold certifi-
rotP alrearlv issued, shall be receivaoie
fnr all taxes and dues to the United
States of every description, and shall be
a legal tender for payment of all debts,
public and private.
Sec. 5. Owners of bullion deposited
for coinage shall have option to receive
coin or its equivalent in certificates pro
vided for in this act, and such bullion
shall be subsequently coined.
THE FORCE BILL.
Bather Slim Chances For Its Passage in
the Senate.
By Telegraph to the Morning ?tar.
Washington. Jan. 15. The total
vote last night, in the Senate, on Mr.
Hoar's motion to take up the Elections
bill, was 66, exclusive of the vote of the
Vice President. Twenty-two Senators
were recorded as absent, including
twelve Republicans and ten Democrats.
As a matter of fact. Ingalls wbs present

the ReDublican Senators, while not in

were in the city. The actual Republican
absentees were seven in numoer
Blaine, Chandler, Farwell, Moody.
Pettierew. Pierce and Squire
The Rennhliran vote was 23
(exclusive of the Vice President) or less
than a nuorum. so that if Democratic
Senators should resort to the plan of re
fusing to vote and in this are joined by
Messrs. Stanford. Teller. Walcott, ones
(Nevada), Stewart and Washburn. (Re
publicans who voted with them last
night) the advocates of the Elections
bill would require the attendance of six
of those seven actual absentees before
they could proceed with the measure, or
could act upon the clousure rule. On the
other hand, if the six Republicans who
voted with the Democrats last nitjht
should not go to the length of techni
cally absenting themselves and should
content themselves with casting their
votes in opposition to the Republican
maioritv. the latter would have an
even
quorum exclusive of the Vice
dent's vote.

End of the "War" with the Sioux-Hoa-tiles

Visit Washington.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
tit . rnf vtptavt limn ru 15. A tele-
Braro was received a. the War Depart-
ment to-dav from Gen. Miles asKing
permission for a number of Sioux chiefs
to visit Washington for the purpose of
conferring with the President in regard
to their condition, rviuci .woun.h
with Secretary Noble, becretary rroctor
telegraphed Gen. Miles, giving the de
sired permission. Miles says the send
ing of chiefs east will answer a double
purpose, namely: Satisfy them and
bridge over the transition period be
tween war and peace; dispel their dis
trust and hostility, and restore confi
dence. It will be also a guarantee of
peace while they are absent.
The Evening Stars staff correspon
dent from Pine Ridge Agency, January
15, says : The Sioux outbreak of 1690
'91 is over. There may be and probably
will be trouble with a few small de
tached bands of hostiles, but the great
majority of those who revolted against
the authority, of the United States Gov
ernment have removed their war paint
and are camped near the friendly In
dians to the southwest of the Agency,
just across White Clay creek.
FIRE AT RICHMOND.
Boiler Shop of the Richmond Locomotive
and Machine Works Burned.
By 1 elegraph to the Morning Star.
Richmond. Va.. January 15. The
damage to the boilers, plates and ther
machinery for the battle-ship Texas, in
jured in a fire last night at the Rich
mond Locomotive and Machine Works,
will not be very heavy, nor will the
shiD's completion be delayed to any
great extent by this fire. The machin
eiy in the building burned was very val
uable. A portion oi it was put m ca-
presslv to do government work at a cost
of $50,000. The principal damage to the
Texas' machinery will be in the polished
rod work, bars and plates, the latter Pe
ine constructed from a peculiar kind of
" i l
metal. That whicn nas aireaay passeu

Richmond. Tan. 15. There are twen
ty-three boilers for the new steamship
T- xas in the ruins, experts are oi wie
opinion that they are not damaged to
any great extent, but chief engineer
Brooke, United states ixavy, unuer
whose supervision they were built, say.,
that while to all appearances the fur
naces had riot been injured, they had
been heated by fire and suddenly
cooled by water, and the probabilities
are that they are injured to sucn an ex
tent that it would not be proper to allow
them to be placed in a ship on board
of which there will be a large body of
men. If at any future time an accident
should occur to the boilers, causing loss
of life, he would be held responsible for
the same. Consequently, he does not
intend to take any chances, but will ask
tor a board of survey to inspect them.

The New York Futures Market Yesterday.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York. Jan. 15. The Sun's cotton
futures circular of to-day says:
Futures opened lower and lurtner
declined, closing barely steady at a de
cline of 2 points on January, 6 points on
February and 8 to 10 points on other
months from yesterday's closing prices.
The market to-day appeared to be
wholly under the influence of the b.g

The subject ot the crop estimates was
much discussed and a wager of $500 was
made to-night on 8,000.000 bales, The
bears assert that there is now in tne
South twice as much cotton as there
was one year ago. It this be true taken
in connection with the excess in the visi
ble supply now shown, and the in
creased yield promised from Egypt and
India, the fact is "omnibus." as Mrs.
Partington would say. Still the con
sumption is very large and spinners are
making money, tacts which have here-(
