agent for embezzlement of the
pensions of a waid, passed : vea
113, nayes 92. The bouse then
went into the committee of the
whole on the pension appropria'
tion bill.
Monow explained that the bill
appropriated for payment of pen
sior.8 of $133,173,000 to be distri
butid among (354,715 pensioners.
This was the largest number ol
beneficiaries ever provided for in
any single item in the sta'utes of
the united states, uooper, oi
Indiana, got the floor, reviewed a)'
of the charges made against the
Commissioner of Pensions Raum,
which formed the basis of the in
vestigation last session, and
asserted that they have all been
proved. During the last campaign
the commissioner had gone to
Indana and had invaded his
(Cooper's) dintrict. The commis
sioners only excuse was that he
inilit defeat Cooper's election.
IN THE SENATE.
Arrong the bills introduced and
referred, was one lor a permanent
tariff commission, and one by
Stewart for the free and unlimited
use of silver as monev,
After lengthy debate on the
Indian question a joint resolution
was amended so as to apply to
the states of North and youth
Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska,
and passed. The election bill was
taken up and Pugh addressed the
senate in opposition to it. The
bill, he said, was never intended
to be put in operation in republi
can districts, it was found on one
lironosition, and that was that the
state el- c ion of officers might be
watched, guarded and overruled
because they were democrats.
Hoar gave notice that after to day
he would endeavor to press the
election bill without havu g it laid
aside for an other purpose what
ever until the final vote was
reached.

Union Pacific la Furnishing Cars as
Rapidly at Possible.
Portland, Dec. 4. General
Manager McXeil, of the Union
Pacific, returned to-day from a
three days' trip through the
Palouse and Walla Walla coun
try. He states that while there is
considerable grain at stations on
lb Union Pa -ific lines, there is
very little t. - t exposed to the
weather, and : :at the demand for
cars has fallen off greatly, so
much so that at present the com
pany is fairly supplying the de
mand. This is due to the drop in
prices, and the farmers holding on
for a better market. "We are
now furnishing cars more freely
than at any time previous to this
yhar, and are distributing them as
eqnitably and fairly as possible.

Davis said the call of the national
conference to tie held February 13
next, with the view of formins a

might have been be iter for the city
if the whole municipal govern

men were leaving tbe room, Mayor
Clough approached Turner and
bserved tha his remarks were

had been mixed up in every dirty
case with the city. Turner struck
at Clough ; some say tbe mayor
as knocked down, others that be
lodged the blow and fell ever a

ney Quinn sought to pull him off.
