The recent analysis of Clark's Ammoniated
Dissolved Bone warrants me in pronouncinc
it highly reliable compound for the early
and effective nutrition of crops, with sufi-
cient quantity of ammonia to stimulate, de-
velop and sustais the plant. 1t contains a
heavy proportion of Soluble Phosphoric Acid
to sustain an ample fruiiage. 1t, therefore,
has an official sanction as good fertilizer.

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE DAILY srrI


WASHINGTON, d. c., April II.
THE CONTESTED sEATs-THE DAKOTA CASE
DECIDED.
The committee on elections this morning
unanimously decided the case of Burlegh
against Armstrong, from Dakota territory, i'll
favor of Armstrong, who now occupies the seat
The ease turned mainly on votes cast from the
so called military reservations.
The committee held that the simple fact that
a voter in Il territory residing ON one of these
reservations does no deprive him of his right to
vote. Armstrong, who under this decision re-
tains the seat, is a democrat. In the Bowen
against Delarge case, from South Carolina, tn
committee overrued the motion of Delarge to
dismiss the case, because Bowen took Il seat in
the South Carolina legislature, holding that
Bowen has not yet had an opportunity to take a
seat in the house, and therefore he cannot have
lost hissIights as a contestant.
THE CIVIL SERVICE DEBATE
In the house was again very lively to day. Mr..
Perry of Ohio made one of the best of speeches, in
which he charged that the house did not want
any reform in the service, and that was why
they voted to cut short the presidents expert
ment. Mcssls. Dawes Garfield, Perry, Nc
Crary, Holman, and others labored for the re-
form, but Messrs Butler, Sargent Colman and
Others had the majority on the count, and it is
safe to say that three-lourhs of the house are
opposed to civil service reform, simply because
it takes from them the power to fill
local offices. Mr.. Kellogg of Connecticut
made a speech which was thought by some
members TO be opposed to civil service reform;
but in reality he spoke in favor of the appro.
priaton put in the bill by the senate. He spoke
highly Of our present service, but thought that
there was room for improvement; and he was
willing to let the president continue his expert
ments. On the vote by tellers Messrs Schofeld,
Asher, Ames, Butler and Sargent voted against
the presidential plan Of reform, while Messrs.
Garfield, Dawes, the Connecticut republicans
and others voted TO support it. But the enemies
of reform won on that vote.
THE TAX AND THE TARIFF.
There are new developments in the ways and
means. Mr.. Dawes proposed last evening that
the tax bill shall be first reported to the house.
but was overruled five to four. II was then
voted to report the tax and tariff bill together
and the question arose as Ito who should report
and take charge of the bill. Nearly all the
members seemed to expect that Mr. Dawes, be-
ing chairman, would do so; but he cOurteOusly
but firmly declined, giving his reasons for doing
so. He is opposed to the tariff bill
as it stands, and therefore cannot honestly
support it in the house One fact alone is
