Washington, Sept. 17. — [Special] — A3
soon as there whs an opportunity in the
house this morning an immediate rush was
Traade by all tho members to get their pri-
vate bill* acted on. This could only be (lone
by unanimous consent, but as nearly every-
body had a private bill no one felt like ob-
jecting to any measure, as it is known now
that tiic session is to be very short lived.
Mr. Heed had signed the river and harbor
bill and it was lying on the clerk's desk.
He present, d the house many bills which
had been amended and passed by the house,
and he, in tho most polite way, put to the
house tho private bills brought up by the
congressmen, but did not show any inclina-
tion to cay t h it the river and harbor bill
had been foun I to be properly engrossed
and that ho had signed the same.
K12 GORE GOT THE FLOOR.
After awhile an objection was made to
the consideration of any more private bills,
and Congressman Kilgore, who had been
oa the floor for some time asking for recog-
nition, cbtaiued it. Mr. Kilgore is on the
committee on enrolled bills, and last ses-
sion while occupying that position failed
for two days to present an enrolled bill to
the president. The republicans, among
whom was Congressman Heed, were very
indignant about it. Day before yesterday
ho resolved to arise to a parliamentary ins
quiry o:i yesterday moruiuk aad
ask why the river and harbor
bill, which had been reported s
properly enrolled by the committee
ou enrollment, had not been presented to
the bouse and signed by ti e speaker, lie
consulted with tho Texas members about it
and it was thought proper that ho should
confer wl'li Mr. i^ndemon. Vh® - rtr* r'
of tho rive:* and harbor committee. Ho did
go, and that gentleman asked that he wait
till to»day, So when lie got tho floor he
srid that the bill had been reported
by the enrolling committee over
a week ago, and that the committee
did not feel that it could be responsible for
them in their wanderings, perhaps, around
from room to room in tho capitol. He was
proceeding with further inquiry when Feed,
who had evidently heard he was to be
cornered, interrupted him acd said he pro-
posed to sign the bills and present them to
tho house just after the journal was read
or just before adjournment. As there was
a matter before the house now, the case of
Langston vs. Venable, he said he would pre-
sent them before adjournment. This was
satisfactory and Mr. Kilgore took his seat.
a QUORUM WAS THERE.
The question of tho consideration of the
case of Langston vs. Venable was then up
and a vote was ordered on the proposis
tion. The democrats wanted to break a
quorum by withdrawing from the bonse
again. If they had succeeded there would
have been an adjournment aud another day
lost, as the river and harbor bill would not
have been signed. Thoso opposed to the
bill, among them Mr. Reed, have
hoped all the time that the president
would not receive the bill until the
day of adjournment, because if he were so
disposed he could put the bill in his pocket
and veto it in that way. He must sign the
bill within ten days or it becomes a law.
This is the law if congress is in tceslon at
the end of ten days. But if it is not in ses-
sion he can stick it in his pockct aud it is
de.nl.
The general opinion now is that he will
sign if. All the republicans are unanimous
in that opinion, but the friends of the bill
prefer to be on the safe side and want the
congress to bo in session at the eud of ten
days from the time he receives it, so they
can ride over his veto if he suonld veto it.
Therefore the TVxans were determined that
there should be a quorum to-day. as far as
they were concerned, so that Heed should
have no excuse to abstain from puts
ting the measure Ik; fore the bouse
with bis signature to it, and
they remained in the hall and the
quorum was ma le. Other democrats were j
wrathybut It did no good. The Texan* j
stood pat, however, l'iiere is not a district '
herhaps in their state which is not inter- j
ested in the bill.
HOW IT HELPS TFtAJ.
The amount which Texas as a Whole re- i
ceives from :t will approximate 17,000,00e>. I
Galveston gets -O.OOOalone, while Sabine j
Pass gets $303,000, the ship channel from i
Bolivar channel to the San Jacinto $40,000. j
| Buffalo bayou 185,000, Trinity river *iuuO. I
j and for surveying the lakes betweeu Jet"- |
ferson and Shreveport with a slew j
of improving the navigation. Besides this j
surreys are provided for the Brazos rivsr
from ita mouth to Waco: the Sabine river, I
from where the river empties into Sabine
laLe to Suddis Bluff; the Colorado river, |
with a view of removing a raft i*t its mouth; |
St. Charles bay. with the view of removing !
obstructions from A varus bay; to remove I
the half moon reef west of Galveston bay '
from Christiana point with the view !
of reopening the channel through I
West bay; the Trinity river, from its j
mouth to Dallas; aturvey to remove ob-
structions at tbe mouth of Double bayou,
in Chambers county. The amount of
money necessary for these surveys will
bring the total amount np to $7,000,000
which Texas will get in the bill. So hsr
representatives were In no humor to
jeopardise this amount, when the aitbssUr-
irig which has been going on would all not
amount to anything in tho long run any*
how.
A few days ago a resolution was adopted
which set to-night for the consideration of
bills coming from tho military committee.
To do this an adjournment had to be had at
5 o'clock. The speaking iu the contested
eloction case went on until uearly 5 o'clock,
when Mr. Kilgore again got up end Reed
recognized him. Ho said that a recess would
be taken at 5 o'clock, and if further
consideration of the election case went
on this evening tho bills on tho
speaker's tablo could not bo laid be-
fore the house. To this Mr. Reed assented
and at ouce presented it to that body with
his siguature. And so the river aud harbor
bill escaped from Mr. Heed's .hands.
goes to HARRISON.
To-morrow it will go to the senate, when
Senator Coke will at once secure to it the
signature of Vice President Morton or
Presiding Officer Ingalls, if Mr.
Morton is absent. It will at
once go to the president, and it is supposed
that the ton days within which ho must net
ou it will commence to run from Friday.
It is evident now that every effort will bo
made by the republicans to adjourn by tho
1st of October, and it is said in some
quarters that they will try to get
away on tho 20th. It cau be relied on
that tho latter day has already
been fixed by the leaders for tbe day of ad-
journment. The friends of the river and
harbor bill, however, will fight an adjourn-
ment till the ten days In which tho bill is
with the president has expired. As has
been said, no real fear is being
'• , gent's account. lie is said
to h!.1'1,1 ( ?' . / expressed himself as being
acquainted with the contents of the bill and
ready to act on it as soon as he gets it.

Ono official of tho treasury department
this afternoon called attention to tho fact
that, including the purchase of bonds to-
day, tho disbursements by tho treasury iu
thirty-two days had oxceeded the receipts
t-y >05,000.000. The total offers of 4x4 per
cent bonds to the treasury yesterday for
the entire country amounted to $1,057,500,
making tho total so far of $12,050,300. The
prepayment of interest of 4 per cents yes-
terday aggregated $351,772, making tho to-
tal so far of $4,212,000. Tho offers to-day
for the entire country, so far as heard from,
aggregated £341,250.
The Run in Ca*e Closed.
Washington, Sept. 17.—George B. Flem-
ing was the first witness to-day before the
committee investigating the charges
against Pension Commissioner Raum.
Cooper asked him if Butler Fitch had not
told hirn that Bradley Tanner had given
the names of six or seven pension office
employes who held refrigerator stock. The
witness replied that Fitch had said so, and
he (witness) had told it to Cooper, as well
as what Fitch bad told him about the deal
with the Chinese legation. Wit-
ness also heard Fitch tell Cooper
that bis cheeK turned "pale"
when ho read Tanner's testimony.
To Commissioner Raum the witness said
that he had brought Cooper where be could
meet Filch. Before the resolutions of in-
quiry had been prepared witness had as-
sured Cooper that tho charges could be
proved, but had not mentioned Fitch's
name. Witness had written an article on
the subject, which appeared in tho Indian-
apolis Sentinel, and had supplied informa-
tion about the matter to the St. Louis Re-
public. Six or seven good men besides
Fitch had supplied the witness with infor-
mation about tho refrigerator company.
Fou/ of them wero pension office employes.
The commissioner sought to get their
names, but Cooper and Lewis protested
against tho question, the former-saying that
the evident purpose was "to get ivon" with
the employes.
The commissioner replied that he desired
to bring those men before the committee.
Mr. Coouer said the men had said Brad-
ley Tanner was a stockholder, aud that was
now proved.
Continuing, tho witness said that he had
sent the men to Tanner to talk with him
and bring tho information to him (tho wits
ness). He desired to use it in his news-
paper business. Ho had been an employe
in the ollice himself and knew the men to
he reliable. That was last, spring. His ob-
ject was not particularly to put up a case on
the commissioner, but to get at tho truth.
Witness finally left the pension oflico Jan-
uary 2S last. Never had any personal feel-
ing agHinst the commissione**, nor had he
said that he was going after tho commission-
er because of his discharge. Ho had said
that he would get even with the man who
got him out—Theodore Smith—and bad
done it. Witness was then dismissed.
Cooper: The commissioner denied that
Lamer had endorse I a note for him at the
Second National bank in additional to tho
National Bank of the Republic.
The chairman having ascertained that
there were uo more witnesses to bo ex-
amined announced that the caso was closed
and the committee will at once begin the
pruliarution of Its report.

with the conference report on the land grant

cided not to discuss the conference report.
Hangen then called up the election esse

tion of consideration.
The yeas and nays wero called and the

Mr. Cheadleof Indiana opposed the ma-
jority resolution and declaieci that the re-
publicans of tho hou-to could not afford to
vote Mr. Venable out and Mr. Langston in.
The KoUrih district of Virginia was reliably
republican and it had been carried by the
democrats not because of the popularity of
Cleveland or the unpopularity or Harr.son,
but because of republican division It
was a perfectly plaiu an ! natural statement
of fact that the republican party In that
district had h>sli listen solely by reason
of Irreconcilable differences in the repub-
lican party. It had l»een a race division,
with ail thst such division could imply in
the .-outb. He s:.id that he could not, under
bis oath and with his knowledge of the
case, rote to seat tbe cotrustee, and he
hoped for the good name of the house and
for tire good name of the great party to
which he belonged, that there would be
enough republicans voting with him to ro*
tain Venable in his seat. When Cbeadle
concluded be was greeted with applause by
the democrats.
The ea»s then went over until to-morrow.

WIATHER AND CROPS.
Montgomery County*
Montgomery, Tex., Sept. 15. —Cotton is
not doing well on account of too much
showery weather, which !s causing tbe seed
to sprout in the boll. Every effort is being
made notwithstanding the unfavorable
weather to gather the crop as soon as possi-
ble. for a September storm is predicted by
many. Could suitable weather prevail for
picking it. is thought that the entire crop
would be gathered by tho middle or last of
November at tho farthest.
The worm has not injured the crop up to
this time, and there is no more talk of poiu-
ouinsr. as it is too late now to hopo for a pay-
ing top crop.

SHERIFFS- DEPARTMENT.
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 17.—Tho suffrage
question may bo regarded as settled as far
S3 Mississippi is concerned. Immediately
upon the conclusion of Edwards' speech to-
day in favor of an inalterable educational
and property qualification voting was bo-
gun. section b3f section, on tho report of tho
committee on elective franchise.
Tho voting developed that the con /ention
stands almost two to ono in favor of the
committee's report, aud its adoption by an
emphatic majority is no longer a question
of doubt.
The Chrisman amendment providing for
educational and property qualifications was
vejected by a voto of 77 to 30.
Tho proposition to empower tho legisla-
ture to confer restricted suffrage upon
women received a similar quietus.
The amendments were gone over with as
fast as they wero offered, and all of the fol-
lowing four sections of the report wero
adopted by overwhelming majorities:
Section 1: All election- by the people
should be by ballot.
Section 2. Every malo inhabitant of this
state,except idiots and insane persons and
Indians not taxed, who is a citizen of ohe
United States, 21 years old and upward,
who has resided in this state two yeais and
one year in the election district iu which
he offers to vote, and who is duly registered
as provided in section 8 of this article,
and who has not beou convicted of bribery,
burglary, theft, arson, obtaining money or
goods under false pretenses, shall ba en-
titled to vote after six months residence in
the election district ia otherwise qualified.
Section 3. The legislature shall provide
by law for tbe registration of all persons
entitled to vote at any election, and all per-
sons offering to register shall take tho fol-
lowing oath or affirmation: "I do solemnly
swear (or affirm) that I am 21 years old, aud
that I will have resided in this state two
years, and election district of — county
ono year next preceding the ensuiug
election (or if a minister of tho
gospel two years' residence in the
state and six months in said election dis-
trict and am now in good faith a resident
in the same and that I am not disqualified
from voting by reason of having been coils
victed of any crime named in the constitu-
tion of this state as a disqualification to be
an elector; that I will truly answer all
questions propouuded to mo concerning
my antecedents so far as they relate
to my right to voto, and also
to my residence before mv citizenship in
this district; that I will faithfully support
the constitution of tho United States aud
of tho state of Mississippi and will bear
faith and allegiance to tho same.
Section 4. A uniform poll tax of *2 is
hereby imposed on every male inhabitant
in the state between tbe ages of 21 and 00
ycar?«, except persons who are deaf and
dumb or blind. Tbe payment of the whole
poll tax imposed is declared to ba a qualifi-
cation to vote.
When section 5 was reached the conven-
tion struck a snag. Amendment after
amendment was made, and a long debate
followed. The section read as follows: On
and after the first day of January, A.
1). 18%, tbe following qualification* are
added to tho foregoing: Every qualified
elector shall he able to read any section of
ihe constitution of thts state, or ho shall be
able to understand it when it is ~ea 1, or
give a reasonable interpretation thereof. A
new registration shall be made before the
next ensuing election after these«quahfica-
tions are established.
The convention adjourned at G t>. m. with-
out acting upon the amendmeut.
FURTHER LAWS NECESSARY.
Commissioners' Kepurt Ke^nrding I*olyg-
iiiny in 1'fah.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 17.—Tho
Utah commission has forwarded to tho sec-
retary of tho iuterior a lengthy report
of its operations and proceedings for
tho year ending September 1, 1800. Tbe
principal foaturoof the report is the recom-
mendation of further legislation in support
of the existing laws. The commission i3 in
receipt of the reports from its registration
officers which enumerates for.y-one male
personc who, it is believed, Lave entered
into polygamy relations in their several
precincts since tho June revision in 1SS9.
Crediting them with one piural wife each,
would givo eighty-two persons thus re-
ported as entering iu relation's forbidden by
law and said to bo forbidden by the church
authorities. The belief is also expressed
that only a small portion of the polygatr otis
marriages are reported, as many of the
registrars are members of the Mormon
church.
The commission recommends that tho
power of the commission be so arranged as
to authorize and enable it to issue instruc-
tions which shall bo binding upon the reg •
istrars of its appointment In the perform-
ance of their legal duties. Tho report also
recommends the enactment of a law simi-
lar to tho Idaho test oath law, believing
that it will do more to put an end to tho
teachings and practice ol polygamy than has
been accomplished by the partial enforce-
ment of the existing law. In conclu-
sion, the commission repeats what it
said iu its last report, "that in
this matter the government and congress
should take no backward Or even wavering
step, but should continue the active and
vigorous enforcement of tho laws and an
improvement of the amendment of such as
would make them more effective and by en-
acting such other laws as experiarice may
show to bo wise aud more efficacious to ac-
complish the desired end.
THE BASIC STEEL PROCESS.
A Successful Test Made at Chattanoogn
AY J th rig Iron.
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17.—A special
from Chattanooga, 1'enu., to the American
say*: A noteworthy event in tho history of
tho south was tho Ifrst casting of stoel by
the basic process, in tho reconstructed
Roane ironworks of this city. One open
hearth furnace was charged at 7:45 a.m.*
and at 6:21 p. m. 33.000 pound*; of molten
steel were poured into tho moulds.
Southern pig-Iron, very high in phos-
