CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, March 11th. =
SENATE.-Blaine, in discussing his
resolution on the Canadian fishing
awards, said: The correspondence
called for by the resolution would
show, on the part of Great Britain,
a designed and persistent effort to
secure the advantage in the ap-
pointment of the third commission
er. England insisted that Delfasse
should be the third commissioner.
Our government refused and sub
mitted list of names, including
half a dozen foreign ministers at
Washington. The English gov.
ernmenG refused them all and de-
manded Delfasse. There was de-
lay of some years on account of an
attempt to negotiate reciprocity
treaty and under the treaty of
Washington the choice of the third
commissioner then fell to the Aus
trian Ambassadcr at London, who
promptly chose Delfasse. He would
not attempt to define the action
which the government should
take, but if it followed the
precedents of Great Britain,
it would utterly refuse to pay u
single penny. Standing both on
law and equity, the law is mock
cry and inj justice and would work
the destruction of q great Ameri-
can interest. 1t was asking US to
pay annually q million dollars to
Great Britain for destroying the
great fishing interest of America
and further crippling and weaken
ing us as q commercial power.
We pay Great Britain q million
dollars for catching S400, 900 worth
OF fish. This award Is so unjust
that respect for it is difficult. He
would be willing to pay double

San Bernardino Times: Some
fellow who has been working a
short time for the Sunnyside Ditch
Company, left here last week and
went to Los Angeles. Here he
forged two checks on the Bank of
San Bernardino, one in favor of
Joe Price, $48.60; the other for G.
H. Rook, $33.25, both signed f. G.
Judson, Secretary. The checks
were paid by the Commercial Bank
Of Los Angeles and returned to this
city, where they were declared to
be forgeries, and now Mr.. G. H.
Rook who passed them is in requi-
sition.

time whereof the
Rman runneth not to the
al, we felt disposed to give a
I'D to our gratulations. We never
for q moment have doubted the
solid and faithful work which all
our representatives have put in for
this section at Sacramento. The
fact that Mr.. Bland stands forth as
the author of the Silver bill, and
that it was known distinctively as
the Bland bill, does not, in the
slightest degree, detract from the
steady and energetic advocacy of
the measure of which one hundred
and seventy-five other members of
the House of Representatives ac-
Quilted themselves. The fact that
the Supreme Court bill was known
| as the Ellis bill, leaves us just as
sensible and appreciative of the en-
ergy shown by Mr.. Ellis's colleagues
to obtain its enactment into law
Not only that, but we feel debt O.
gratitude to the members of South
ern California at large and to thu
gentlemen from the Central ant
Northern counties who co-operatet
with them. 1t has been so mucl
the fashion to disregard our claim
of every kind at Sacramento tha
we confess we were distrustful c
its passing at all.

DEADLY ARRAY BETWEEN STUDENTS.
Bristol VA Special. 18th.

BflStOl lfa) special, 18th.
An %impromptu duel took place near the
Turkey Cove academy, in Lee county, be.
tween two students Of that institution, Hen.
ry Coombs, of Kentucky, and John Bailey,
a native of that county. The trouble grew
out of a misunderstanding about q young
lady to whom both OF the young men were
paying attention. The men met this morn.
ing, in a grove, and. without exchanging a
dozen words, commenced firing at each
other with navy revolvers until five rounds
were discharged. In the last round Coombs
fell mortally wounded, and died soon after
ward. The men were not twenty feet apart
during the fight. and fought. it is said. with
the desperation of madmen. Both were
poor shots and uuaccustomed to the use OF
firearms. Coombs was q relative of ex-
Gov. Leslie Coombs, of Kentucky, and was
q young man who stood we'll at the college.
Bailey had not been arrested up to q late
hour tonight.

long. golden hair, matted and diScolored by

PASTOR VosBURGH is in trouble again A
Bergen druggist named Wilson says that a
short time before Mrs. VOSburgh was taken
sick the reverend gentleman cOnversed with
him as to the effects of doses of antimony on
the human system, and that on several occa-
SlonS he sent him up stairs to look for books
which he lE) pretended to want to borrow,
ferred to. Vosburg acknowledges having
cOnversed with the druggist in regard to
posisOns, but of course denies taking the anti
mony. Mr.. VOsburgh has become convinced
from his wife's extraordinary conduct, that
the best and wisest course for both of them is
to separate amicably and live apart, at least
temporarily. He proposes that she shall Sc
lect her own place of abode anywhere outside
OF New Jersey, either at her fathers house in
Stuyvesant or any other suitable place. He
offerst to furnish her sum of money in regular
installments sufficient for her maintenance,
the amount to be determined by a friend of
each, and il necessary third arbitrator to be
selected by the other two. He insists as
condition that in future they shall both pre-
serve an inviolable silence as to the past, and
endeavor to live harmoniously il not happily.

fire broke out in one of the main buildings
OF the extensive pork Slaughtering and curing

two main ones of brick six stories high, and
covered an area of four acres. Extensive Gel
