The Day Gwen up 10 the Sundry ClVh
Appropriation Bill.
The House met in continuance OF
Tuesdays session and Immediately
went into Committee OF the Whole on
the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill.
Mr.. King moved to strike out the clause
prohibiting more than $3.50 600 OF the
balance of the appropriation previously
made to prevent the spread OF yellew
fever and other epidemic diseases to be
used for that purpose the coming fiscal
year. Pending action on the amend
ment the committee rose.
Mr.. Cobb reported back the District

curence in some and non-concurrence
the others. The report was agreed 10
and the session OF Tuesday ended and
Wednesdays session commenced.

Senate amendments, recommending
concurrence in some and non-concur-
renee in others. Report agreed to.
Mr.. Cox called up the Apportion.
ment bill as unfinished business.

ton, the vote standing, yeas l23 and
nays in favor Of taking up the appor-
tionnent point. Noquorum was raised.
Mr.. Frye stated that the Republicans
were to had a conference last even

a condition TO proceed with the appor-
tionment bill at present. Ii the gentle

mined whether this business should 90

Unparalleled Winter in the Wost-No
Trains for Weeks

Unparalleled Winter in the West-No
Trains for Weeks.
CHICAGO, February 23.-The severity
OF the winter in Iowa and the difficulties
under which transportation companies
have laborei during almost four months
are scarcely realized outside OF the i'm
mediate circle of persons who have per-
sonally experienced the hardships.
Agent Leman, just in from Western
Iowa, where he il engaged in business
which requires constant travel says that
nothing like this season has ever been
experienced in that usually pleasant
State. Open winters are the
rule there and the blizzard
is an exception usually OF short dura-
ton. This winter, however, began on
the 9TH OF November. and since that
time bare ground has hardly been seen
in the State. The weather indications
have been watched with the greatest
anxiety, but every prediction or indica-
ton OF breakup has been disappoint-
ed, and straight forward enduring cold
wind and snow have taken the place OF
the usual January and February
thaw. The railroads have made
a maniul battle against the elements.
No sooner have they cleared the track
and gotten fairly TO running, than the
ice or driited snow blocks the rails
again, and it has been one steady, ex-
pensiye fight with the elements TO keep
in running order, and even then many
of them have been obliged to abandon
the trains and make every kind OF shift
TO carry their passengers. On the Pa
eifc extension OF the. Burlington, Cedar
Rapids and Northern there were no
trains from February End to February
18th.

Extra Session Not Probable.
WASHINGTON, February 23.-The Sen.
ate having disposed of the legislative
bill, there is no reason why the two
houses should not complete all the
necessary business this week. The dam
ger OF an extra session may therefore be
regarded as vanished.
Cabinet Chatter.
WASHINGTON, February ga Rs-
publican Senator OF prominence and
influence said to the reporter OF the
Western Associated Press to day: IL
you telegraph that Robert Lincoln will
be Secretary OF War, ex-senator Sar-
gent of California, Secretary Of the
Navy, and Wayne McVeagh Of Penn
sylvania, Attorney General, you will
name three of Gartield's Cabinet.
Sargent was chairman OF the Senate
Naval Committee and studied naval
affairs closely. McVesgh is son.in.l law
OF s. Cameron. The Senator who gave
this information spoke positively.
The Senate Commerce Committee is
still considering the
River and Harbor Bill,
and expect to complete it tonight and
have it reported tomorrow. The com.
mittee have added a number OF amend
ments, increasing the total OF the bill,
but say that they will pass the bill by
the two Houses, sending it to the Con-
ference Committee. Every day that
passes lessons the chances of a final
passage Of the bill.
The Commerce Committee OF both
Houses say that they have been criti-
cised and condemned for not giving in
formation as to every item in the River
and Harbor bill. Their excuse is that
the report OF the Chief Engineer OF the
Army. on which all information in re.
gard to the bill is based, was not received
from the Public Printer until yesterday.
That consequently all information
had to be gathered haphazard. This is
the excuse OF the committee for the in
congruties OF the bill.
A great deal OF comment is made on
the fact that the
Presidents Message,
to be delivered at the opening OF Con.
gress, has not been printed yet. There
have been numerous applications for it.
Logan Denies 1t,
Gen. Logan says now that he is not
authority for the assertion that Robert
Lincoln will be appointed to Cabinet
position, but that he recommended Lin
eoln and hopes he will be appointed.

gentleman, and would not therefore
consider that any agreement had been
made.
Mr.. Cox then gave notice that he
would call the bill up tomorrow after
the morning hour.
The House then again went into Com.
mittee Of the Whole on the
sundry Civil Appropriation Bill.
The pending amendment offered by Mr..
King was rejected. After a prolonged
debate. the committee rose and the
House took recess until 7:30. The
evening session is for the consideration
OF District business.
