Senate Proceedings in Washington Ended Week Start
The Senate opened the last week of the special session amid heavy snow and wind. Only four senators were present at 10 am, and after initial adjournment moves the chamber read the journal and began considering executive business. The main focus was the Weil wv Abra Mexican Claim treaty, with expected ratification likely blocked by opponents seeking delay through long speeches. Nominations in executive session included Edward J. Phelps to Britain, Hoorr R K. Jackson to Nolice, Robert M. McLaan to France, David L. Baker to Rhode Island U S Attorney, Benjamin A. H. Je to Northern District of Georgia.

Decision in Mormon test cases and navy cadet damages
In Washington on March 4 Justice Matthews issued a key ruling on five Mormon cases tied to the Edmunds Act voting tests in Utah Territory. The decision holds that registration officers acted without lawful authority and that bigamy or polygamy alone does not criminalize voting. only a disqualifying state at registration matters. The ruling favors damages for those who swore they had no plural wives and against those who refused to testify to polygamy. The Court of Claims also ruled in favor of D C Redgrave, Cadet Engineer in the US Navy, restoring pay despite no services rendered. Additional items note Montgomery becomes Patent Commissioner, Clarke dies, and other federal moves.

Riel Revolt in Saskatchewan Sparks Open Defiance of Queen
Reports from Prince Albert indicate Louis Riel has discarded masks of loyalty and seized control of half-breeds and Indians. Telegraph lines cut, operators imprisoned, and insurgents hold government stores near Carlton while troops march from Swift Current and Winnipeg to quell the uprising. Separately, Ottawa notes commercial union talks as a path to renewed treaty with the United States. Also in brief, an Ashametquaghan accident kills a fireman when a track derailment sends a engine plummeting into the river, and a Canadian Pacific express derailment near Perth injures passengers but causes no serious harm.
