A CORRECTION.

In our issue OF yesterday we stated thst a
deficiency, amounting to $500, existed in the
pool box belonging to last weeks races,
which was created by the giving of injudicious
credit on the part Of the pool clerk. Having
ascsrtained that, in this respect, we were
misinformed, we desire to correct the state
ment, which otherwise might unjustly reflect
upon innocent parties. The facts of this case
are as follows One of the Directors of the
Agricultural Association authorized the pool
clerk having charge OF the cash box to grant
credit to the auctieneer of the pools. This
was repeatedly done during the week, and
when the final settlement was made, the
auctioneer owed the pool box $50, which as
yet, has not been paid in, and that is the only
deficiency which exists in that so much talked
of pool box.

DR.. J. w. FOx-My Dear Sir Yours of
July Sd, relative to the action of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, was Only re-
ceived, and would have been answered before
this but for term of Court, which has kept
ME busy. l took the liberty of consenting to
the publication of your letter in the Elko
Independent on FRIDAY last. Mr. Sears
thought it advisable.
Your action in the Committee on the ques-
ton of locality of Convention, appears to be
generally approved. So far as personally
am concerned, sent you no instructions at
any time. The dispatch sent you was simply
a Recommendation, in which l united in com
mon with several other Democrats. OF
course we could not know in Elko just what
sort of an issue had been made in Virginia or
Carson: Under the circumstances l think
you did right, ,.--..-. ,....
The attack of Mr.. Cassidy upon you WAS
entirely uincalled for and unjust. Your rep
utation is too well established to be injured
in that way. Very truly, yours,

it not be well for the Trustees of the Agricul-

upon the subject of issuing excursion tickets
to the Pioneers, making them good for Friday
and Saturday. If this can be done it will en-

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Congress had been
In session two weeks and half when it
took the holiday recess yesterday. In that
two weeks and half the House had passed
slx appropriation bills, namely: The Naval,
Consular and Diplomatic, Pension, Indian,
Military Academy and the Fertilization
Bills. This is almost an unprecedented
thing, and reflects great credit on the House
Appropriation Committee. But very little
time has been wasted in the House, all
buncombe proceedings being confined to
the Senate. Chairman Atkins, with q
quorum of the Appropriation Committee
will remain here during the holidays to
prepare the remaining bills. 1t is the OBJ
Ject to send the last appropriation bill to
The Senate by the 18th of February, or three
weeks before the final adjournment. At
that time Mr. Atkins intends stating that
II any rush is necessary with the bills in
the last days of the session, it will be the
fault of the Senate.
THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.
The Army Bill will. be reported directly
on the reassembling OF Congress. 1t will be
practically the same as the bill passed at
the last session, the committee having de-
cided to-day not to wait till the Reorganiza-
ton Bill is disposed of, or to allow it to be
tackled on the Appropriation Bill, but to in
slst that it shall become law, if at all, on
its own merits.
RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
Inc House Commerce Committee yester-
day postponed till after the recess the con-
slderation of the question whether River
and Harbor Bill should be reported to the
House at this session. As the general in
cllnatlon of the Committee is to refrain
from reporting BILL this action may be
said to practically decide the question.
