Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1878-06-15
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.

NASH1SGTOF, June {, 1910.
The Senate having agreed to djourn June
18th, business has since been carried on in
earnest The Post Route bill has occupied
large share of the time, but was passed at
rather late hour on Wednesday night after
being amended in many important respects.
One of the amendments restores the Thanking
privilege substantially, and another grants
subsidy to the Brazilian steamship lines be-
tween that country and New York and New
Orleans Senator Whyte made an earnest
appeal to the West not to permit Baltimore
to be crushed between the upper and neither
millstones of the two cities, and showed that
the service now to be paid for at the rate of
$500, 900 per annum in John Roach's steam
ships has been and is being performed in sail
ing vessels at the rate of 81 200 per annum;
but he appealed in vain. Roach knew what
he was about when he gave his circus per-
Torrance at Chester III the launching of the
Para on February %, and the letter you pub
lished of that date predicted that he would
be for the "old flag and-an appropriation.
Miscellaneous business to great extent
occupied the attention of the House on Mon
day. Bland, of Missouri, wanted $4,000,
900 in Treasury notes to improve the
Mississippi river Wright asked the issue
of S4OO,0 900 in what he denominated
| national money and an evening session
was spent in considering the Life Saw
ing bill, which was passed next day, when
the trouble on Woods tariff bill commenced.
1t ended on Wednesday by having all bat the
enacting clause stricken out, thus leaving it
exposed naked to the rude glare OF its enc
mics This is another instance where the
work of whole session has been destroyed
in moment. Verify, it is easier to destroy
than it is to create.
The bill to pay the Mexican awards was
also passed, after being amended SO as either
to include the La Abra and Well claims, or
open up other claims already rejected by the
Commission appointed under the treaty of
1868. The Deficiency bill excluded nearly
everything else yesterday, and was passed to-
day. The Senate took recess to-day to at
tend the funeral ceremonies of the late Major
". J. Mcdonald, who tor the last twelve
Years has been Chief Clerk of that body, and
for forty two years employed by it in other
clerical duties. His knowledge of the rules
and usages of the Senate was uneqHallod, and
his . Constitution, Rules and Manual, issued
once i'll two years is a model of careful and
useful compilation. The Senate showed its
appreciation of his services by paying him a
thousand dollars each time his " Manual was
issued, and in every Legislative bill for sew
eral years past provision was made for the
Chief Clerk in the sum of IS 900, and the
additional sum of 81 900 while the said Office |
is held by the present incumbent, and no |
longer PALTA.
New York June IA "A Herald reporter |!
has interviewed Jesse r. Grant, the second son
of the General, who arrived here yesterday |
from Paris. Jesse was entirely homesick, and |
says his father only reads the American
papers. He will 60 to Norway in the Sum
mer and to Spain in the Winter. He says
further that his father regards the Potter in
vestigation is a useless and foolish piece of
business. He thinks Hayes duly and legally
elected, and that this Congressional investi-
CATION is arrant nonsense.
Washington, May 1.-THE Grown Prince
of Germany sends his sincerest thanks to the
President of the United States and the
people for the sympathy manifested
on account of the attempted assassination of
the Emperor.
New York, June l4.-Lieut Talten, who
graduated yesterday at West Point, was in
stantly killed to-day, by being run over by
the st. Louis Express at Cold Spring, nearly
opposite West Point.

at Aurora. The Bodie Standard of Tuesday
reports him somewhat easier. We hope to
