Cheerful Reports About Mines

CoLuMBrs, December State Mine
Inspector Roy retdrned here to day
from Lawrence county. This section
suffered the worst OF any in the State
from the hard times. He reports the
coal and iron business booming now,
and the reaction from the extraordinary
depression as complete. The region is
one OF the most wealthy mineral dis.
tricts in the State. or the United States,
Just as the panic came on the entire
county almost had confined in building
two magnificent furnaces, at a cost OF
half million dollars. When tn ystart-
ed up, BY reason OF their peculiar con-
srruction and owing to other causes,
the furnaces became bankrupt. The
county was almost in the same condi.
ton. Now the com paDy has its iurn-
aces in good shape, ard their outpu, is
the largest of any in the United States.
The hills around the furnace are full Of
ore. Heretofore this has been procured
by stripping and at an immense expen'
dtture OF labor. At present 1t Is OBJ
tanned by drifting or on the long wall
plan. by which the entire mass OF ore Is
taken out bodily as the work progresses,
The county has fully recovered from It's
distress.

A VERY DULL DAY IN BOTH HOUSES.

Yesterday was dull enough in both

that portion OF the Presidents message
in reference to civil service reform was

next he would ask the Senate to consid-
er the bill for the relief Of General Fitz
John Porter, to which day the Senate
adjourned.
In the House the tongue tussel over
the electoral count continues, the Re-
pubicans hoping that by fllibustering
and offensive remarks they may be able
to prevent the Democrats from passing
any rule for counting the electo-
raj votes, 30 that when the Sec
ond Wednesday OF February arrives the
Constitution alone will have to guide
the action OF the joint convention. The
position OF the Republicans is that the
Vice President, who may himself be
candidate, is the proper person to count
the electoral votes, while the Democrats
contend that they can be legally counted
only by the two Houses in joint conven-
tion.

WASHINGTON, December "a joint
ctucus Of the Republican members OF

resentatives for the purpose OF deter
mining the party policy in regard to the
senate concurrent resolution now pend
iry in the House, which provides for
Lhe adoptiod OF specified joint rule to
regulate the counting OF the electoral
vote. Between 80 and 90 were in
attendance, and the debate, which occu.

in il were Senator'S Blaine. Anthony,
Ferry and Teller, and Representatives
Lspham, Hawley, Conger, Keifer. Has.

any difference Of opinion was express
ei was TO the extent TO which it should
be considered necessary or advisable to
oppose the adoption OF the pending rule.

that there Was any purpose on the part
CT the Democrats TO attempt the re.
moval Of the result OF the recent presi-
Dental election, or that any danger a.

ted from the adoption Of the proposed

Civil Service Reform.
WASHINGTON, December


On motion Of MIR. Pendleton so much
OF the Presidents annual message as re-
fers to civil service reform, non assess.
ment OF Government employees for polit.
| ical PURPOSES, etc, was referred to &C.
lect committee to examine the several
branches of the civil service with instruc-
tions to report at an early day by bill or
otherwise.
On motion OF Mr.. Davis, OF Illinois,
the Senate resolved that to-day's all
journment be until Monday.
Bills and Resolutions.
Mr.. Pendleton introduced joint res.
olution for the purpose OF obtaining the
privilege OF opening road and highway
from the Canada line Of the United
States and British America through
British Columbia to Fort Wrangall and
Silka in Alaska. Referred.
The bill for the sale OF the remainder
OF the reservation OF the Otoe and Mis-
souri, Indians in Kansas and Nebraska
wss discussed.
Confederate Archives.
The Vice President laid before the
Senate communication from the Secre-
tary of War transmitting copies OF the
correspondence had with the legal rep
resentatives OF the Confederate Generals,
II agg and Polk, with view to the pur-
chase of their private papers relating to
the late war, rs per act OF June u, 1889.
The Polk papers have been placed in the
hands OF the Government, with permis-
sion to use such as ale deemed import
ant 10 the publication now authorized by
law. The price asked for the entire
collection is ten thousand dollars.
The Bragg papers have been submitted
for the purpose OF being catalogued. No
present price is stipulated for it, but
they. as we'll as the Polk collection, were
appraised in 1878 at $4,000 and could
now be purchased at that sum. The
secretary says that heretofore no
purchases for archives have been made
from Federal officers, and only trans
Mississippi, Sydney Johnson and Sneed
papers from Confederate officers. The
great bdlk of acquisitions have been
gifts. So far as the secretary knows the
only important collections as yet unsb-
tanned are those under consideration.
| 1t is for Congress to say whether justice
to those who have freely given the most
important documents is observed by the
purchase of other collections.
End OF the Lord Pension Case.
Senate bill for the relief OF Mary A.
Lord was then taken up. 1t grants her
81, 100 as arrears OF pension for her dead
husband. II was opposed on technical
grounds by the members OF the Pension
Committee, as the requirements OF the
law had not been observed as to the
time OF filing the application for the
pension.
After debate the Senate, by vote OF
l5 to 3S, refused to have the bill read a
third time. 1t thus drops.
FItz John Porter.
Mr.. Randolph announced that on Mon
day next he would ask the Senate 10 con-
slider the bill ior the relief OF Fitz John
Porter, to which he will offer his amend.
ment, noticed Yesterday, restoring Fitz
John Porter to the army without back
pay.
The Senate went into an executive
session and soon adjourned.
