PKOCICKDI '(iS OF 1HIC HOI SK8 Ths 8euat9 Wants Moie Iofonnation Regarding the Killing vf General Barranciia. WAKiiiMiiTux, Feb. (. In the senate, l'addock presented a reso lution from the Nebraska house of representatives against the pas sage of the Conger lard bill, for the reason that it would inflict great losses on the cattle industry 19 ebraaka and. inVfavor of the pauanKC ui tuc i uuuuuk pure loou bill. The conference report on the bill to provide an additional associate justice of the supreme court of Arizona was agreed to. The naval appropriation bill was reported with sundry amendments. "ffawley offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the president for correspondence in reference to the conduct of Naval Ollicer Iteiter on the occa sion of the arrest and killing of General Barrundia and the action of the navy department. Morgan addressed the senate in support of a bill reported ftom the committee on foreign relations in aid of the cons ruction of the Nicaragua maritime canal. IN THE HofSE. McKinlev asked unanimous con sent to present for consideration a bill providing that nothing in the tarm act filial' he hell to repeal or impair the reciprocity treaty with the Hawaiian lslan ls. Bland thought the bill should be consid ered in a committee of the whole, and JlcKinley moved that the house go into a committee for thai purpose, but withdrew his action when he found it was impossible to limit the time for the debate. The speaker laid before the house a sena'e bill amending the land forfeiture act of Septembei L".i, 18!H), regarding the period within which settlers, purchasers and others, under the provisions of said act may make applica'ion for the purchase of lands forfeited thereby. When such period be g ns to run from the passage of the act, it shall In-gin to tun from the dale of promulgation by the com missioner of the general land office of instructions to officers of local land oliiccs for their direction in the disposition of said lands. The bill passed with v rbal amendments. In the committee of the whole to-day the house considered the paragraphs in the sundry civil ap propriation bi'.l, relating to Chandler's substi'ute for the world's fair bill. Wilson, of West Virginia, questioned the efficiency of the national commission in the expenditure of government money and criticized the salaries paid to the otlicials. The total amount of the salary list, he said, was $08, 540, and under the authority given the commission to Increase the number of appointees as the fair grew, the salaries would swell until they swamped government appropriation. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, defended the action of the appropriation committees. It was the duty of congress to make the fair a success, n t a fadure, and he, as a member of the appropriation committee, had felt it his duty to concur in the recommendation of the appropri ations which have leen made. Vaux, of Pennsylvania, made a constitutional argument in opposi tion to the provisions of the bill. ISutterworth, of Ohio, iu opposi tion to the substitute, said the United States was committed to a certain thing, no matter through what instrumentality, the laitu of the country was pledged. The fair would not only result in an advantage to Chicago, hut it would also result in the glory of this republic, The centennial ex- Cosition had been of the greatest enefit to the country. IJutter worth appealed to the gentleman whether Chicago had not fulfilled all she had promised and more; whether Illinois had not met, every requirement of the law. Chicago had raised $11,000,000. This was a United States enter prise. Had Chicago been liberal or not, was she to be censured be cause she deemed it proper to pay a director general out of the na tional treasury. Chicago had done well. There was not an example of the kind in history, where a city had done so much for a na tion, and he asked for Chicago fair treatment. Replying to Wil son's strictures uixrn the board of lady managers, Butterworth cre ated much s pplause by his gallant allusions to the women of the world. He proceeded to argue in support of the st laries provided by the bill, End warmly supported their retention. Chandler then offered his amendment. Mason raised his point of order. Pend ing the decision of the committee the house took a recess. Representative Morrill, chair man of the Rauin investigation committee, has made a report which has been agreed to bv his republican colleagues. The demo cratic members of the committee will piesent a minority report with regard to the refrieerator branch investigation. The report says : "There was an entire ab sence of any evidence showing or going to show that any refrigera tor stock ever bad been offered for sale to, or purchased by any of the employes of the pension office, or that there was any stock held by any one for the benefit of the employes or any of their families, the only exception being Bradley Tanner. The committee finds that Tanner ppent fonr days while he was on his yearly leave of absence on the company's business and wrote a few letters for the com pany ; but that he was never inter ested in the universal refrigerator compaiiynnd his promotion was due to Commissioner Tanner, who appointed him. The committee finds there is no evidence to show any favoritism to Lemon or any other attorney and no truth in the charge, that- Lemon- proenred the: situation in the permoo-office lot ms tormer employees. - The action of the house to-day in sustaining the decision of the chair (Payson) by which Bland's free coinage amendment to the sundry civil bill was ruled out of order, is thought by many to mean that no free coinage bill can paw this congress. There were prob ably some republicans who voted to sustain the decision of the chair who, himself is a silver man, be caused they believed the decision was in accordance with the rules. -Silver men have given up all hope of getting any sort of a report from the committee. Bland and Bartine left the committee, refusing to take any further part in the pro ceedings, since it was evident to them it was not the purpose of the committee that anything should be done. In doing this they placed all their faith in their ability to force an issue before the bonse, by attracting provisions for the free coinage appropriation bill. To do this it was necessary as they all appreciated to over rule the de cision of the chair, which neces sarily would be in accordance with the rulee. To-day's vote was a test of their strength on this sort of a motion and the result makes it apparent that the free silver ap propriation bill in the house can carry. The leaders of republicans do not propose to let the tree coin age bill go to the president as a rider on appropriation, if they can help it, as this would make his position particularly embarrassing and would probably result in the failure of the appropriation bill, making an extra session necessary. TRAIN ROBBERS. Til KV BOLDLY CAPTUKPt A TRAIN AND KOK IT. The Express Messegner Blew Out the Lights and Opened Fire, Driving; Off the Rubbers. PELtxo.Cal., Feb. 6. The pas senger train was loarded by rob bers at Alila this evening end undercover of pistols the engineer, Thorne, and fireman, Kadliff, were forced to pull out to a point a mile this side and halt.

THE SAME OLD DODGK. And It Hauls In the Greedy Sucker. M arysvii.i.k, Cal. Feb. 6. Charles Kewcom, a well-known rancher of Sutter county, was vic timized out of $1500 yesterday by confidence sharps. A man called on turn, claiming be was looking for land for investment, and ob tained Newcom'o confidence, and both got in a buggy and started to look at the country. They were met by another man, claiming he was traveling in the interest of the Louisiana lottery. He said he wanted to overcome the prejudice against the lottery by having sev eral prominent men win large prizes, and said he would have the two new acquaintances win as much as they would show coin. Stranger No. 1 offered to put up $8500 if Newcom would show $15)0. Newcom agreed and both came to town where Newcom got his money, btranirer No. 1 pro duced a tin box in which he said was his $8500. He offered New com another box to put his in. The coin was put in locked up. Stranger No. 2 said he bad re ceived a telegram calling him to Tehama and asked the men to meet him at Marysville next Sat urday. They agreed and Newcom was handed his box and went home. On opening the box next morning be lound two Girt clods and some shot in the box. The confidence men had changed ooxes ana sKippea witu the coin. IMMENSE CAPTURE.
