Marshals' deficiency bill upon the strength of
the objection made by Edmunds and other
prominent Republicans to the rider concern
ing the method of appointing Deputy Mar
shals of Elections. The rumor cannot as yet
be traced to any utterance of the President or
his Cabinet advisers and may prove errone-
Gus, but 1T excites much comment in view of
the certainty that veto of this bill would
inevitably prolonG the session at least fort
night.

sacramento-sundry Civil Service Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 2Sth. The House
Committee ON Public Buildings to-day re-
ported Pages bill appropriating 800. 600 for
new Government bnilding at Sacramento,
and it was placed on the calendar

cent log-rolling will be witnessed when the
sundry civil appropriation bill comes before
the House for action, as the friends of vari-
Gus bills providing for new public buildings
throughout the country will be expected to
continue to place them upon this regular ap-
preparation bill as amendments.
The Mining Location Question.
Especial to the RECORD USIoE.l
WASHINGTON, April 2Sth.-The meeting of
the House Committee on Mines and Mining
to-day was very slimly attended, only six of
its eleven members being present. The ma
jority of the six decided that it would not be
advisable to adopt the amendment, which
was practically agreed upon at the last meet
ing, to exempt from the square-location re-
striction all lodes having dip of more than
thirty degrees, but voted to enlarge the area
of mining claims from square of 900 feet, or
22s acres, to one of ,320 feet, or 40 acres, and
to report the bill to the House without further
amendment. Several members, who were alb
sent by reason Of other important committee
meetings to-day, intend to reopen the whole
question at the next meeting. Berry is op-
posed to the entile bill, with or without the
amendment, and in view of the strong pro-
tests against it which are arriving every day
from the mining regions, it seems to have
very small chances of passing, irrespective of
the practicals certainty that it will not be
reached on the calendar at all during this ses-
sion.

posed by the committee is in relation to the
size of mining claims. The bill proposed
that mining claim located after the first
day Of September next should equal but not
exceed square of $50 feet on the side The
amendment increases it to l, ,320 feet on the
side
