Washington, Jan. 18. Galllnger, ol the committee of public health and na tional quarantine, toaay reported favora bly to thtt eenate a bill providing for an investigation of the aubjtsct of leprosy. Vent of Miaaouri, for the finance com mittee, reported the Teller resolution adopted by that committee today, and gave notice that he would call it up at an earlv date. i Daniel of Virginia secured the adoption of a resolution directing the secretary of state to supply the senate with informa tion respecting the killing of Frank Epps, a sailor of the United titates steamsiiip Olympia, by Japanese subjects in the harbor of Nogasaki, Japan, in December, 1807. A resolution presented to the senate yesterday calling upon the secretary of the treasury for the reasons why an item of $11,000,000 interest due the United States from the Pacific railroads bad been dropped from his statement, which went over under objection, was agreed to. Allen of Nebraska called up his reso lution calling for an investigation by the pension committee aa to the authority of the commisaiouer of pensions to promul gate an order that no consideration be gi v en applications for an increase of pensions within 12 months after the last applica tion. The resolution was agreed to. Hale of Maine then called up the ui gent deficiency bill. The bill carrying $1,018,810 was paxaed alter a few amend ments had boon made. Foraker, of the Pacific railroidj com mittee, asked for consideration of a bill conferring upon the president authority to bid in the Kansas Pacific road. It being evident the bill would provoke considerable discussion, Foraker with drew his amendment for immediate con sideration. Davis moved that the senate go into executive session. Carter, chairman of the census com mittee, said he desired to call attention to the notice, given yesterday, that be would today call up ior consideration the pending census biil. The committee he said, regarded this bill aa of great im portance, and felt that it should be passed promptly. Davis however insisted upou his motion. The senate then, at 12:10 p. m. went into executive session. Ia the Bonta. Washington, Jan. 18. The first con tested election case of the present con- Kress was disposed of by the lioJie to day. Chaiiman Taylor, of the committee on elections No. 1, roported that Thomas Clark had abondoned his contest, aud the committee therefore unanimously reported a resolution declaring Jesse F. Stallings entitled to the seat, represent ing the second Alabama district. The house then resumed consideration of the army appropriation bill. Sayres, democrat, of Texas raised a point of order against a provision re quiring enlisted men to be paid by the paymasters in person. The point was sustained and the provision went over. The army appropriation bill passed, and the diplomatic and consular appro priation bill was taken up. The minor ity served notice that they proposed to debate the foreign relations matter ex haustively. Dearmond of Missouri offered as an amendment to the diplomatic and consu lar appiopriatioo bill a resolution for rec ognition of Cuban belligerency, and when a point of order was raised against it, made a long Bpeecn urging the mem bers to over-ride the rules, assert them selves and adopt this amendment now. Bailey, democrat, of Texas, amid a burst of applause, challenged Ilitt, chair man of the committee on foreign affairs, to state if it was the intention of those in authority to give the house an oppor tunity to vote on a Cubn belligerency resolution. Ilitt made no reply, except to protest that Bailey was out of order, Hepburn, in the chair, sustained the point, Dearmond appealed from the de cision of the chair and urged the mem bers to seize the present opportunity. Dingley, the floor leader of the majority, hurried to the rescue. Great excitement prevailed. In reply to Dingley, Dear mond urged that members :ould get con sideration for nothing except after those in authority had aoproved. Henderson, republican, of Iowa, ans wered De Armond, declaring that if a mnjority ol the house was against the Cuban resolution there would be no ac tion, despite the fine display of the Mis souri gentleman. The excitement on the floor continued, but the debate was temporarily diverted to rales and parlia mentary status. , Indiana aa the Warpath Walla Walla, Jan. 18. At about 4:30 this afternoon a band of drunken Indians went to the farm of W. F. De Long, abont aix miles north of Wallula Junction, and ordered him to vacate the premises, saying that be was on their ground. De Long refused and one Indian seized an ate and broke In the door of the house and attempted to kill DeLong. The lat ter seized a Winchester rifle and shot the fore-most savage, who proved to be the ion of "Jim," the cheif of the band. The Indian was killed instantly. The other savages continued to ad vance and DeLong fired again wounding another, It ia supposed mortally. The Indians then fld swearing ven geance and threatening to return with their entire band. beLong sent to Wallula for help and a party was at once organized aid started for the Indian camp, fully armed. Telegrams were sent to this city, and Sheriff Ellingsworih and Deputy United States Marshal Wilson at once left for the scene. A general uprising of the Cayuse In dians is feared. SU HOSED TO WAsIIIXtiTOX. Collector Irry Asked to Farulh a formation Regarding; Alaska. Washington, Jan 18. The customs division of the treasury department has a hard nnt to crack in the arrangement ot regulations to govern the Alaskan trade and conditions. Assistant Secre tary Howell, under whose personal supervision these matters first came, said today tuat it would be several days before a decision could be reached for the reason that there is in the depart ment an absence of information as to the conditions which exist on the Alaskan coast. So great is this tint Howell to day sent a message to Portland, sum moning to this city for a conference with him, Collector of Customs, J. W. Ivey, who has just returned from his head quarters at Juneau, but who, during the fall and winter, looked over affairs at Dyea and Skaguay. Pending his arrival there will be much preliminary work done, but nothing settled. The question of the navigation of the Yukon and Sticknen rivers is the most difficult of solution.. While our treaty with Great Britian clearly says that all navigation shall be subject to the regu lations of the country through which the stream passes, these are questions which have never before arisen. Howell today said that there was nothing in the law which would deal with shipments to Dawson from an American port, such as Portland, if the goods to shipped in a foreign bottom were transhipped at sea to a Yukon river steamer, and thus never came within the jurisdiction of the collector St. Michaels. While this would le a violation of the laws of this country in their spiiit, it would not transgress their letter in the least. Once there is enough information con cerning Alaska conditions the regula tions will be rushed so they may take effect before the spring rush is on. This la Hood Dootrina Chicago, Jan. 18. "The great ten dency in the Congregational church is toward the union of religion and the state. The church has before it a splendid opportunity to assert love ol country and to associate itself with patriotic Bpirit. The time is coming when we shall put obligations of citizen ship in our creed aud teach them In our churches." These were the words of Rev. Charles Lampon, of the American board of foreign missions in an address before the Con gregational club last evening. He was speaking of thereat tendencies manifest in the deportment of his church and among those to whom he addressed his remarks, telling of the power the church would have in civic and national affairs in the future. His entire audience burst into cheers. . Will Maintain Har Bights. London, Ian. 18. The country gen erally is greatly pleased by the announce ment made by the chancellor ot the ex chequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, at Swansen last night, in which he repeated the previous declaration of Balfour at Manchester, on the Indian policy of the government, and added that '.he minis try was determined even at the cost of war that Chinese commerce should not be closed to Great Britain. This declaration is taken as outlining the government's position, and both liberal and conserative newspapers com mend the plain speaking. Tha Freaident of Hawaii Washington, Jan. IS. Arrangements are making for the entertainment of President Dole, of Hawaii, on a scale befitting his rank as chief magistrate of a friendly nation. It has been decided he shall be regarded as a nation's guest, and that our government shall bear the expense of his entertainment in Washington. A LIVELY MEETING Stevens and U'Jlen hare a Box Ing Match. The Former FJected From the Meeting; After Drawing First Rlood a the Latter. A meeting of the populist state central committee was held in Portland last Wednesday and the time agreed upon for holding the slate convention ' was March 23. The question of fusion with the union reform party was discussed, and after U'Reu had nude several motions against fusion, all of which went defeated overwhemingly, a motion was finally adopted instructing the several county conventions to instruct their delegates to the state convention for or against fusion. The following It a partial account of the meeting as published in the Oregon Ian yesterday : Tbe meeting ot the state committee was called to order shortly after 1 o'clock, by Chairman Young. He an nounced that tbe meeting was one of populists, and others were not supposed to be present during its session. In or der to make sure that none but populists wonld be present the chairman appoint ed Charles Fitch, of Oregon City, who was supposed to know who were of tbe right stripe, as sergeaot-at-arms, to separate the goats Irom the sheep. W. S. U'Ken seconded the effort of Chairman Young, taying: "This is a meeting of the state central committee. No one but populists should be present, and all others should be asked to retire. I move that the ball be cleared of all but members of the state committee and that the sergeant-at-arma be instructed to allow only those to return whom be knows to be populists, or who could be properly vouched for as such. I will also include in this motion all representatives of the press." The motion was carried, and there was a scarry of feet toward the outer door, as the nonpopulist contingent were herded out of the ball. Sergeant-at-Arms Fitch took his station at the door, wbilft W. 8. U'Ren also took position on the other side to see those who would seek to re turn. There teemed to be no objection to any of those who had lined up to pass muster. Dr. Barton, until recently state committeeman for Yamhill county, who has allied himself to the Cooper move ment, passed without challenge. 'The last man in tbe line was J. D, Stevens, of Canby, Clackamas county. As be was about to enter Sergeant-at-Arms Fitch asked : "Who are you?" Stevens did not have time to explain just who or what be was before U'Rea re narked: "He is no populist." ''Yes, I am," was tbe quick retort from Stevens. "Dr. Barton will vouch for me." "Dr. Barton's word don't go here," said U'Ren. Stevens glared at his old adversary for a second, then applied to him an opprobri ous epithet. A mix-up followed. U'Ren, stung by tbe vile name he had been called, landed his clenched fist in the face ct Stevens, who quickly countered on the right cheek of U'Ren, drawing blood. Both men clinched and did some little infighting. Stevens was winding; himself up to deliver U'Ren a solar plexus blow, but Henry Denlinger, of Lincoln county ; L. D. McMahan, of Sa lem, and Charles Fitch, of Oregon City, came to the rescue of U'Ren, separated the two men, and tbe doughty warrior from Canby was unceremoniously hust led out ot the ball. The incident cre ated the greatest excitement for a time, and was the theme of conyersation among the members of the committee tbe rest of tbe day. The meeting was then called to order and business proceeded with. Mr. U'Ren then introduced a resolu tion arraigning the fusion movement in general, and brought out a discussion covering a wide field, not confined to the subject but fusion was discussed in every phase. When the matter was intro duced, Denlinger of Lincoln moved that it be referred to a committee of county chairmen, who had had experience with fusion, which was not agreed to: Ingall of Benton next moved to indefinitely postpone the matter, which was voted down. O'Brien ot Umatilla moved as a sub stitute that the question of an alliance with the anti-rep.iblican forces of Oregon be discussed by the populists in their clubs and conventions, and that dele gates to the state convention be in structed to vote for or against fusion, and if for fusion, upon what terms. A discussion of three hours followed. Rveiybody bad something to say, and finally the resolution of U'Ren was voted down, by a vote of 9 to 4, many re fusing to cast a ballot either way. The substitute was then adopted by practic ally a unanimous vote.
