the widow of Admiral Farragut at the rate
of one-fourth of his pay at the time of his

Mr.. Speer,of Pennsylvania, offered reso-
luton calling on the Secretary of State for

The Chinese Subsidy.
The House then at 2:30 went in Commit
tee of Whole on the post Office appropria-
ton bill, the pending question being on an
increase of subsidy to the China mai
steamers.
Mr.. Hay, ofIllinios, desired to put himself
on record against the policy Of subsidies. 1t
was system of special legislation for the
havaEF Of vioh nnH in tho iT1foract NJ
those who kept the lobbies, the committee
rooms and the galleries crowded with their
agents.
Mr.. Stevenson opposed the amendment
chiefly because it was the first of a series
of subsidy measures. Congress should
throw down the barriers and admit ships to
American registry wherever built. Then
it should amend the tariff so as to make the
maintenance of ships cheaper than at pres
ent, and diminish the cost Of articles bought
abroad and so encourage commerce.
Let commerce be free and let free flag
wave over it.
The committee at 4 O'Clock proceeded TO
vote on the various amendments.
Mr.. Corker's amendment, permitting the
government to take possession of the steam
ers in case of war, was agreed to.
L u6 ueAb qu6SJlOu WAS Ou U4Es II dILiS-
worth's substitute, keeping the subsidy at
$500,000 and allowing the service to be per-
formed by foreign-built ships. 1t was re-
jected by 65 to 95.
The amendment making the service semi
monthly and the compensation S1,000,00O
was defeated by 81 to 92. The announce
ment of the vote was applauded on the
Democratic side.
Mr.. Upson moved an amendment to pro-
hiBit the employees of departments from
acting as agents or attorneys for the prose-
cution of claims within two years after leav-
ing office. Agreed to.
Mr.. Farnsworth moved to amend by ap- |
plying the same rule to members of Con-
gress. Ruled out of order, Mr.. Upson's
amendment having been admitted under
suspension of the rules.
The Committee rose and reported the
bill to the House which was passed. Ad-
iourned.

alton Of the Chicago Relief bill was taken

on which the Senate ought not to waste a
moment.
The bill was then taken up, and Mr.. Nor
rill, of Vermont, addressed the Senate at
length.
Mr.. Hamilton, of Indiana, followed with

Commons last night, during the Dixie up
roar, when Lord George Hamilton called
attention to the demonstration of visitors

The Alabama Debate.
In the House of Commons to-day Horse
man, in accordance, again asked her Ma
jesty's government to assure Parliament
that in case fresh negotiations relative to
the Alabama Claims were entered on with
the American government, no proposals
would be finally accepted until they had re-
ceived the sanction of Parliament.
Gladstone replied, and in concluding
said it would be impossible for the govern
ment to delegate to Parliament the power
Of making treaties.
Mr.. Horseman cited the fact that the
American Senate had power to ratify or re-
ject any treaty which the government may
negotiate.
Mr.. Gladstone repeated his assertion that
it would be impossible to allow Parliament
the treaty-making power, but at the same
time stated that it was the duty of the
government to keep Parliament informed
of any attraction in governmental policy.

Gated.
LOUISVILLE, March 30.-Ohio Falls,
Tplaning mills at Jeffersonville, Ind, We're
destroyed by fire this afternoon. The fire
was discovered about 2:30 among the shay
ings, supposed to have caught from
spark from the smoke stack, and spread to
the remainder Of the works and the lumber
yard in the same enclosure, all of which
were consumed. The works are the most
extensive and complete of the kind in the
country. The buildings alone covered five
acres of ground besides a number Of
sheds and lumber yards. A large amount
of machinery of the finest class, with
a large quantity of car material in the
building. It employed about 700 men and
did an immense business. 1t had orders
at the time of the fire for 1000 cars. Six
teen passenger coaches nearly finished and
a number of freight and other cars were
burned up in the conflagration. The works
cleared a net profit last year of about 5000,
900. The loss will reach half a million.
Insurance about 100000, mostly in North
ern companies. Six hundred and sixty
men were in the shops at the time, nearly
all of whom lost their tools. Several per-
sons had a narrow escape from death dur
ing the fire. One man is missing and it is
feared he was burned to death.
LATER.-The missing man is found to
be o. Phelps, machinist at the works. The
body was recovered from the ruins to-
night. Phelps went back to get his coat
and was overcome by the smoke and heat
before he could get out. He came from
Michigan three months ago and leaves a
wife and child. Later infoTmations places
the net loss, over the insurance, at $4,000;
total insurance $249,500.

FOSSIL ELEPHANTS IN ALASKA

1t has been generally supposed by scien-
tifc men that the fossil elephant of Siberia
had no representative in the same latitude
on this continent. Recent examinations
on the Yukon River in Alaska, however,
have established the fact that the remains
are even more plentiful on the west than on
east side of the North Pacific. Enormous
quantities of bones are found, and a
supply of ivory sufficient to last the world
for centuries. The valleys Of all the
streams and all the low grounds are filled
with bones and tusks, so that every vessel
now arriving from those remote possessions
has part Of its cargo made up in part Of
these new-found remains. The elephant,
whose range was formerly almost universal,
is now confined to small portion of Africa
and Asia, and it would seem as if the
species was in process of slow extinction.
Neither Europe nor America, which once
swarmed with them, has now either a
climate or vegetation fitted to their exist
tence. Their remains, however, are likely
to give to Alaska a value not previously
suspected.

The California election law has
some novel features. According
to an act passed by the Legisla,
tnre, the ballot is printed i'll long
primer capital letters, con paper
of uniform size, color, weight,
texture and appearance, twelve
inches long by four inches wide,
and folded c~rosswise four times
from the centre 60 as to make the
ballot three fourths of an inch in
size and pressed fat.' The law
also provides that quo ballot must
be used having any mark or thing
on the back or outside thereof
whereby it might be distinguishes
ed from any other ballot legally
used" Also, that "aIl erasures
of names Of candidates and sub
situations of Others must be made
with a lead pencil or common
writing lax. All other erations
or subst;tutions will be rejected"
This does away with "pasters" al
together. No person is allowed
to exhibit the contents OF a bal
lot within 100 feet of the polls
nor request any Que else to co so
under very severe penalties of
the code.
