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.

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

De Long refused and one Indian seized
an ate and broke In the door of the house

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.

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.

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.

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.
