tlons from the Tennessee legislature in respect

ferred to the committee on foreign relations.

1t passed the House, SlT, ,165 300, to which the
Senate committee had added $7l0, 900, making

The aggregate as reported was 1896, ,420 less
than the estimates, this being s1,671 ,372 in
excess of the total appropriation for 1881.
This excess was largely due to the increase of
1858, $50 on account of the additional clerical
force and facilities for adjudication Of pensions,

revenue department. In regard to the latter
item Dlvis said the commissioner stated the
revenues for the current year would exceed

gun and the amendments of the committee

Annie Piyley as "M'liss.o

The Opera House was crowded up
stairs and down last evening, and many
were turned away from the box Office
unable to procure accommodations The
occasion was the first appearance of Miss
Annie PiXley in her speciality Of "M'liss,"
the child of the Sierras. The play Is
melodrama Of the border class, supposed
to have some relation to Bret Harte's
touching sketch Of the same name, but in
reality the only resemblance is in the
names Of the characters 1t q neverthe-
less interesting and affords ample oppor-
tunity for a display of the talents of Miss
Pigley in the title role She is the pet of
"the boys" at Smiths Pocket mining
camp, and by her hoidenish manner,
quaint doings and sayings and clever bal
lad singing, both amuses and entertains
the audience. The role is specially re-
curing talent Of no mean order-a rough
diamond creation, as it were, in
which the rarest gems are
rendered the more conspicuous BY
their homely setting. With.hl the abap-
don she exhibits as the ragged waif of
the mining camp, Miss Pixley is at all
times graceful, and the rough slang of
the gulches is Offset by little bits of SEN
timent that reveals the womanly heart
beneath the tattered dress and hoyden
manner. Though some of the dialogue is
rather trashy, the play is much better
than the average of border dramas, and
certainly. pleased the large audience
greatly, for the applause and laughter
were almost continuous. Miss Pixley
was excellently supported by Mr.. McDon-
ough as Yuba Bill, and Mr. DAILY as the
Judge
A matinee will be gwen this afternoon
at 2:3O o'clock, instead of on Wednesday

formance will be repeated in the evening.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-A number of West
ern Senator's interviewed by the Western As
sociated Press reporter expressed disbelief in
the report that Morton or Folger of New York
will be made secretary of the treasury under
Garfield; these Senators say Garfield had init
mated his purpose to make Western man
secretary of the treasury; that he fully ap-
preciated the sentiments of the West and its
objections to having an Eastern man in this
position and will not violate it. The most
prominent Western Senators give this view of
the case.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The committee on
commerce have been all day in session con-
sidering the river and harbor bill, and Senator's
are pressing amendments increasing the ag-
gregate appropriation of the bill, which the
committee say must be rejected, or else the
bill will be defeated. A most determined op-
position to the bill is already organized in the
Senate, and any increase III the appropriation
will aid in defeating the bill. The committee
is fighting steadily against amendments, and
say they will report on Wednesday; then only
seven days will be left for It's consideration,
and any delay would kill it. The final passage
of the bill Is doubtful
