To Prevent Gerrymandering of Congressional
Districts The Oklahoma Bill.
Oregonian Press Dispatch.
Washington, Feb. 11. In the senate
Hoar introduced a bill to prescribe in
part the manner ot eleotion ot members
of congress, which was referred to the
committee on privileges and eleotions.
It provides that in all the states of the
TJnion representatives to congress shall
be elected in and for the districts now
prescribed by law until an apportion
ment of representatives shall be made
by ooneress aooording to the census to
be taken, and any law of such state
hereafter to be passed to the contrary
notwithstanding. Hoar stated that fear
had been expressed in various quarters
that there would be an attempt to make
new representative districts to take ef
fect at the November eleotion, and ger
rymander some states in the interest of
one or the other political party before
the next census.
The senate resumed consideration of
the bill to provide a temporary ffovern-
ment tor Oklahoma.
sAinonsr the bills introduced and refer
red in the senate to-day vrere the follow
ing: By Edmunds Establishing a pub-
nc school system; also, providing for

IN THE HOUSE.
The Rnlc-s Under Discassion Republicans Re
fuse to cut of debate.
Washington, Feb. 11. In the house a
quorum was counted as u;nal by the
speaker on the vote to approve the jour
nal. Cannon, of Illinois, called up the
proposed code of rules and offered a res
olution providing that general debate
close at 1 o'clock to-morrow and the pre-
vions question shall oe considered order
ed at i o'clock to-morrow. A vigorous
protest against cutting off discussion en
sued in short order, made by the demo
crats, but to no effect. Cannon demand
ed the previous question, but the house
would not sustain it, many republicans
voting against it. The demand was re
jected 58 to 140. Cannon demanded
the yeas and nays on his call for the pre
vious question, bat not a sufficient num
ber arose to enforce the demand, and
amid applause from the democratic side,
the speaker so announced. Springer
offered a resolution providing that the
general debate proceed until adjourn
ment to-morrow, after which the case
shall be considered under the five-minute
rule until 5 o'clock i'riday, when the
previous question shall be considered
ordered adopted without objection.
Grosvenor took the floor and spoke to r
the new code. In his opinion the rights
of the minority were ended when the
protested to the contrary. The pro
posed rules, instead of investing power
in the speaker, would prevent one man
power from ruling over the honse, as
had been the case in the forty-ninth and
fiftieth congresses, when the speaker had
ileclined to recognize motions for pas
sage ot the tobacco tax bill, the Blair
educational bill and general pension
bills. The democrats were here to ob
struct legislation. The whola purpose
of the democratic party on the floor was
to obstruct and impede the representa
tives of the people from going forward
with the business of the people. The
republican party was on the side of
progress. The democratic party stood
as an obstructionist and nothing else
The proposition now made was that the
majority should take possession of the
responsibility which had been placed on
it by the votes of the people of the coun
try. He knew of no plan to rob the
treasury. If an attempt were made he
would fight it.
Holman characterized the proposed
oode as a complete revolution in parlia
mentary procedure, and especially an
tagonized its rule providing that 100
members shall constitute a quorum in
committee of the whole. He spoke of
various occasions on which a resort to
fillibustering had been a benefit to the
oountry, and referred with much empha--sis
to the defeat of the foroe bill by the
minority under the lead of Randall.
Payson defended the code. He review-
ed at some detail the time when the
minority by dilitory tactics defeated a
bill of the majority. The only rights
which a majority had were to have a free,
full discussion, and to offer amendments
germane to the pending proposition.
There the rights of the majority ended.
Hatch made war on the report as an
fefitirety. Her was opposed to tbo report
in toto. The republicans acted well in
electing Reed speaker. To-day Reed
represented more dearly and fairly than
any other man the scheme and purpose
and determination of his party. The
gentleman on the other hand said the
only rights of the minority were to dis
cuss and amend, but as far as the domo
cratic minority were concerned one of
their rights was to protect the public
treasury.
Thurston Buggested that the democrat
ic minority should proteot the treasury
from the democratic sergeant-at-arms,
Hatoh replied that if the gentleman
did not know better than to assert that
any member on the democratic side was
responsible for the bad action of a sub
ordinate of the sergeant-at-arms, he had
better go back to Kansas and stay there".
Pending further debate the house took
a reoess until 11 o'clock to-morrow.
IN THE SENATE.
The People of Brazil Congratulated.
Washington, Feb. 12. In the Senate
the resolution congratulating the people

passed. The , , resolution is in these
words- ?'Tht the - United States of
America congratulates the people of Bra
zil on their just and peaceful assump
tion of the powers, duties, Bnd responsi
bilities of self eoverament, based on the
free consent of the governed, and their
recent adoption of a republican form of
government."
The resolution inviting the king of the
Hawaiian islands to send delegates to
the Pan-American congress was aleo

ecutive session.
IN THE HOUSE.
Discussion of the New Code Continued.
Washington, Feb. 12. The bouse
met at 11 o'clock this morning, in con
tinuation of yesterday's session. The de
bate on the proposed code of rules was
continued by Dockery, of Missouri.
Morse of Mass., and Allen of Michi
gan followed Dockery, speaking in sup
port of the rules. At the conclusion of
their remarks the session of Tuesday
was ended and that of Wednesday was
begun. The journal was approved,
speaker ooanting the quorum.
McCreary of Kentucky then took
floor in opposition to the new rules,
criticised the recent decisions of
the
the
He
the
speaker. That officer had defied all pre
cedents and had reversed the parlia
mentary decisions of nearly nil the
speakers who had presided over c.ia
house. McCreary inveighed against the
new rules, asserting that their effect
would be to make the congress of the
TJuited States consist of the senate of the
United States and Speaker Reed.
Cutcheon of Michigan supported the
proposed rules, declaring that they tend
ed to facilitate the business instead of
obstruct it.
Kerr of Iowa presented an argument
in support of the proposed code.
Carnth of Kentucky said he and his
democratic colleagues had discovered
that general parliamentary law was an
autocrat, was a tyrant, was God. The
speaker was omnipotent, yet lacking
one of the attributes of omnipotence
he was not the same yesterday, to-day
and forever. He had thought there must
be some defect in the speaker's vision
to enable him to see a democrat when he
sat in the chair, but which would not
permit him to see a democrat when he
is standing at full height, claiming rec
ognition. He had come to the concl us-
ion that the speaker should be dosed
with Colonel Seller's eyewater external
ly, internally and eternally.
Henderson of Iowa said that for the
last few weeks the country had witnessed
scenes unequaled in the history of the
government. The speaker of the house
backed by the republican members had
been making a stand for the rights and
liberties of the people. That battle had
brought on scenes exoeeding in mon
strous proportions all that bad ever oc
curred in the national capitol. Epithets
have been hurled broadcast from the
other side of the ohamber at the presid
ing officer. Language which should
have expelled its users had been uttered
and flashed over the wires. After one
of these stormy scenes he (Henderson)
had heard one gentleman on the demo-BTarnareTurTi-eii
f" iSs'l "toe gentle
man understand here and now that the
Northern doughface is an animal of the
past. Let them understand that the
oountry has passed through a fiery fur
nace which had eliminated the North
ern doughface. The gentleman on the
other side undertook to control this
oountry whether they were in the ma
jority or in the minority. They could
not do it. The republicans meant busi
ness and it was to do business oalmly.
earnestly, bravely and patriotically that
they were here. Assault after assault
from the great and small bad been hurl
ed against the speaker. The gentlemen
bad been very eharry of making assaults
when the speaker was on the floor in
stead of being tied up as presiding offi
cer. Referring to the election cases, he
said if there was a member on the floor
entitled to his seat the republicans
would stand up and defend his rights,
but if there was on the floor a man who
held his seat by black-hearted fraud or
red-handed murder they would unseat
him if they had the power.
Buchanan and Walker followed in de
fense of the speaker's course, and then
the house took a recess, the evening ses

IN THE HOUSE.
Debate on the Rules Concluded and the Code
Adopted by a Party Vote.
Washington, Feb. 14. Not more than
two dozen members were present when
the house met in continuation of yester
day's sassion. :. Stewart,. Barnes of
Georgia, and Reilly of Pennsylvania en
tered an emphatic protest against tne
adoption of the proposed code and the
aotion of " the speaker. ' Reed was de
fended by Raines of New York. Thurs

session of Friday opened. The journal
was approved the speaker counting a
quorum.
The oommittee on the world's fair
submitted a report which was ordered

Consideration of the rules was then
proceeded with. Bynum of Indiana of
fered an amendment providing that
when any bill for increase of pension or
granting pensions not formerly provid
ed for is pending it shall be in order to
offer an amendment providing by taxa
tion for the payment thereof. Thomas
of Wisconsin opposed the amendment,
declaring that its objeot was to bury
pension legislation in the house. Spino
la of New York controverted the propo
sition and asserted that the democratic
side of the bouse had been found true as
steel to the real interests of the veterans
of the oountry. He believed a tax
should be placed especially for paying
pensions. Allan of Michigan was glad
this heinous amendment sprang from the
brain of a gentleman trained in Indian
apolis politics, belonging to that class of
men who were peace men in war and
war men in peace. This proposition
disguised as it might be, was intended
to thwart any attempt to alleviate the
condition of soldiers by any further pen
sion legislation, xne amendment was
rejected, 96 to 164.
Outhwaite s motion striking out the
clause constituting 100 members a quo
rum in committee of the whole was re
jected. He pointed out that rule 23
winch reads; "Motions or propositions
originating either in the house or sen
ate,' etc., would by implication and
against the constitution acknowledge
the right of the senate to originate reve
nue bills. He moved an amendment to
this, which was adopted, the speaker
stating that there had been no intention
on the part of the committee to make
such an acknowledgement.
Motions by Walsh, to strike out the
clause conferring upon the speaker pow
er to count a quorum, and by Mills, to
strike out the clause that no dilatory
motions shall be entertained by the
speaker, were lost.
Five o'clook having arrived, the speak

CLEVELAND ON BALLOT REFORM.
He favors the Australian Systen, Though it
Would Wreck His Party.
Baltdiorb, Feb. 12. The Sun to-mor
row will print a long interview with ex
President Cleveland, from which the
following is taken: In discussing the
question of ballot reform the reporter
said to him that some of the Southern
democratic leaders at Washington were
fearful that the adoption of the Austra
lian system would imperil democratic
supremacy. At this JMr. Cleveland was
surprised, as he did not see why there
should be fear on that score. "But,"
said he, "I have never looked upon this
question from that point ot view. I
have never debated whether the remov
al of trickery frou the voter would injure
or benefit the democratic party. Ballot
reform is right, and that is why I think
it should be adopted. As to the argu
ment that the uneducated voter would
be embarassed and in many instances
could not see that there was anything in
it. The best plan would be to have a
list of all the candidates on one ticket,
signs to be adopted and started at the
top of each list and indicating to whion
party the candidates belonged. The
voter could then indicate bis intention
by one mark to vote for all the candi
dates of his party. He did not approve
of the proposition requiring the voter
to make a mark opposite each oancliaate
of his party. This was cumbersome and
would result disadvantageonsly, so far
as both the educated and uneducated
voter was concerned.
The vital prinoiple of ballot reform he
regarded as lodged in the official ballot.
To permit the unofficial ballot would
leave the door as wide open to bribery
and corruption as ever. The necessity
for ballot reform, is most urgent in In
diana. A state most capable of judging
and appreciating the evils of the present
system is ripe for a movement in that di
rection. . how gov. hill was elected.
In the last campaign the virus of cor
ruption of the voter passed largely into
the rural districts of New lorfc, ana
thousands of voters yielded to tempta
tion and for $2 bills voted against their
own convictions. If- not arrested Dy
i,n'iiliinn it would be much worse at
the next general election. -.---
. Mr. Cleveland believes the sentiment
for ballot reform will, ere long be suf
fieiently powerful to compel respect and
obedienoe from reluctant legislators.
Civil service reform, Mr. Cleveland
thought, has now too firm a hold upon
the oountry to be destroyed by politicians.
NEVADA LIVE STOCK LOSSES.
FiftvPer Cent, of Cattla and Sheep Perish ou
The Cold Plains.
San Fbancisco, Feb. 12. J. C. Nath
an, of Eureka, Nevada, who is in this
oity, states that in traversing eighty odd
miles of road from Eureka to Palisade
he saw the caroasses of about 200. dead
cattle. He says he had heard of the
loss of thousands and that he considered
the statement well authenticated. He
believed that the losses of cattlemen
would be over 75 per cent, in the state.
Simou Wenburu, a cattle owner of Cor
tez valley, expressed himself in like
manner. Among other cattlemen now
here are Levi Hamilton of Reno, and
William H. Healburt, of Granite creek
Tbey agree in the opinion that the loss
es are very heavy.
D. M. Wightmau, a cattleman of
Wadsworth, juat arrived here, says that
the weather has moderated during the
last few days. Warm west and south
winds have been taking off the snow
rapidly. It is pretty deep yet in East
ern and Northern Nevada, but about
Elko and in other valleys and in the
central part of the state it is going fast.
He says that cattle nearly all over the
state were in poor oondition at the be
ginning of the winter. Feed and water
were both scarce, and this is the reason
of the unusually heavy losses. He does
not think, however, that the loss will
reach 50 per cent., and says that the
sheep ownetv have suffered a good deal
more than the cattle men. He estimates
the loss of the former at 75 per cent.
THE SILVER BOW BALLOT FRAUDS.
Some Testimony of a Witness Who was There.
Helena, Feb. H.Oregouian Spec
ial. During the hearing of the case of
Sullivan vs. Lloyd, the rival sheriffs of
Silver Bflw oounty, some interesting
facts concerning precinct 34 are coming
to light. It is evident that the judges
manipulated the ballots after the polls
closed. Charles Oms, who was at pre
cinct 34 on election day, testified that
he visited the polling place abont 6 or 7
o'clock in the evening. "I met Wilson,
the preoeding witness, near the polls, and
asked him to go inside the house. We
entered. I saw Pennyoook and Morris
sey in there. The former was stamping
ballots. When he saw us he stopped.
He came over aud asked me if there was
anything around to drink. I replied that
there was not, aud he requested me to
leave the room, as outsiders were not al
lowed in there. I didn't move, and Pen
nyoook jumped up from his chair and
advanced to where we were 'standing.
When he arose from the chair I notioed
pile of ballots which he had evidently
off and they fluttered to the floor. There
was one window in the room. It was
covered with paper and oloth." This
witness is a strictly reliable man and is
orroborated by other eye-witnesses.
A MISSISSIPPI CIVIL1ZER
i Present to Senator Ingalls.
Consist of Ballot Protectors.
They
Washington, ten. li. Saturday last
Senator Ingalls' mail contained a small
pink-wrapped box. On being opened
the box was found to contain a cartridge
with the following inscription in black
ink: "Election pill for Old Caff, or for
Ingalls, from Jackson, Miss. Come and
see ns, old nutgalls." Ingalls was not
alarmed at the contents, but both he and
his secretary thonght it prudent to lay
the cartridge carefully away, as it was
thought possible it might be more des
tructive than ordinary ones.
On examination, however, it proved to
be a buckshot cartridge, containing nine
large buckshot and a charge of powder.
Even this, it was thought, was not a par
ticularly pleasant present, and the joke
may turn out to be a sorry one for the
perpetrators, as it is in violation of the
postal law to send explosives through
the mails.
