The Senate, this morning, resumed the consideration of th diplomatic and con sular appropriation hills, the tpjestion being on the amendments affecting the Samoan Islands. Dolph opened the discussion by saying that the question wai one of siccinl and local interest to tlie people of the Pucific Count, nnd that the views which lie would express would lie hi own individ ual views and should m-ithercompromisc tlie government, nor receive undue ntten- ttiifl ilwrlviv ' it'lff nnl frillitw iUf line of Sherman's. Kiecch yesterday. Itolph stated that he could not conceive why the government should icml $100, f" MHl in establishing a coaling station at Pago, unless the government should' in sist that ell its rights were to continue. He took the position that if Congress were to interfere in matters, something very different from the pending nmend ' ment would be required; if he were asked what that wns to he, he should say that Congress demmfd tlie restoration by the Herman government of the status prior tit the time of the Washington confer- ence, and to notify tlie German govern ment that the 1 Hi ted States would not K'rmit the Samoan Islands toMiss under tlit control of any foreign power, And that their itukpenderit autonomy miist be maintained. He said there was no good reason why, if necessary, and if re quested by the Samoa people, an A inert- can. protectorate should--not - be-estab lishcd over there, and that, he said, would lie an entirely different thing from intervention us practiced by European powers on the continent of Europe, Fur ther on, he declared that the Monroe vjjoi-trine should lie asserted in reference to the Samoan Islands, as they come within its terms. Kcagnn spoke of the "feebleness" of the measures proposed, -and proceeded to review the whole question. If the state ments of the United States consular agents and naval officers could he relied Uxm, it was clear, he said.that Oer- manyrwhile professing not tff intend to l,M tMtltP afrllllllnf Inns' wou'aB- o . ' suming alwwilute control of the govern ment of Samoa, and substantially set up German government there. Referring to Cleveland's message on the subject, Rea gan remarked that he had exhausted the authority conferred on him by the consti tution, and felt that he must now ask Congress what further stejis should be taken. In reply to that, there was pend- ing a propositisn to appropriate $500, . 000 "for the execution of obligations and the protection of the interests of the Tinted States. V What policy, Mr. Kea- gVn asked, was here, indicated, or what power was given to the President which he did not already possess and which he had not already endeavored to execute ? What was the President to un stand by that language ? I would surest, said Mr. Reagan, the addi tion to the pending amendment of the words "and for protection of the rights of American citizens residing in said island, and to preserve the neutral- - ity and independence of their people." Then we will have said something, but if we do not put in some such declaration .we leave the President exactly where he himself as powerless to vindicate the rights of the United States, .

Doors were not re-opened until 6.15, when tlie Senate adjourned. HorsK. The Oklahoma bill is under -discussion in the House. iilie Oklahoma bill was brought tolliel attention of tltc House ly Springer, of Illinois, with a motion to go into com mittee of the whole, for its consideration. Motion was agreed to yeas 134, tmvs 54. . ; -A ', The pending amendment was one of fered by I'ayson, of Illinois, expressly providing that the right of honorably discharged onion soldiers and sailors of tlie late civil war to make homes on the public lands under existing homestead law, shall not in any degree be impaired by the passage of this bill, but that such rights shall extend to any and all lands which shall be open to any settlement under provisions of this bill. . The bill occupied the attention of the House during the entire afternoon. Con siderable opposition wi shown to Pay son's amendment, pnn the ground that it discriminated in favor of soldiers who may settle in Oklahoma, giving them ad vantages which they would not possess anywhere else on the public domain, and it was argued that the adoption of this amendment would probably cause a veto of the bill.

The name of tlie third negro whipped could not be ascertained. When the three hud licen well Hogged, they were ordered to leave tlie Mtrish, which thev did.

Thrusting nn arm be tween the bars nnd removing a bolt, he opened the door, and in his bare feet, ' made his way down the stairs and out ' into the open nir. He hnd proceeded on- . ly a short distance, however, when he was discovered and hotly pursued by jnilor Jackson, Constable Mints, and a number of citizens, who were in the vicinity of the jail when the alarm was given, Run ning in a westerly direction for the dis tance of about half a mile, the fugitive suddenly circled' around, and headed di rectly for the Mud Creek swamp, and was just on the point of plunging into the almost impenetrable growth, when he was intercepted by Constable Mints, who brought hrm back to town, and se-' curely lodged him in a cell.
