4 BRIEF HALT AT PITTsBURG.

ALTOONA Penn, Feb. 2S midutght.-The Gar
field special train made a stop at Allegheny 10 let
of General Manager Layng and some of his friends.
General Garfield wanted to run the train
through Pittsburg without stopping, TO avoid
the necessity OF making speech, but
the crowd was so great in the depot in spite
Of the fact that the train was not expected
to stop that it was thought best not to
run through. Tho train paused a moment,
and the Mayor of PIttsburg and several other Off
clas got aboard. General Garfield appeared on the
platform for n moment and bowed his thanks
in return for the cheers Of the crowd. After
this, with the exception Of a short but unim-
portant stop at Shadyside Just outside Of Pttsburg
the train made no stop until it reached Altoona at
midnight. General Garfield went TO bed at half
past 10.
The General at ordinary times goes to bed early
and sleeps well, holding that ninc honrs Is
necessary to his health OF late all
his rules have been broken, of course,
but he hopes when he is fairly settled in the

WAsHINGfON, Feb. 2S.-The House Of Representa-
tves would not pass by two-thirds vote the River
and Harbor bill wien it called for the sum of
$40 600. 900, but after the Senate had added more
than 81 ,00O0 600 more, swelling the total amonnt
appropriated to about $I1,232, ,000, the HOnse
promptly suspended the rules and referred the bill
to a Conference Committee by vote of 170 to &c.
considerably more than two-thirds It was very
difficult for the opponents Of the bill TO muster
strength enough to compel a yea and nav vote
Probably II the Senate had amended y the measure
by adding So 600 900 or SO. 900 600 more the House
would have agreed to it almost unanimously.
On mage 2S of the bill rs il now stands after
having passed under the scrutiny of both branches
of Congress aud of two yigilant Committees on
Commerce, appears the following item: improving
Obrds River. Tennessee, 81, ,500' This item is of

statement: "Au appropriation of $1,000 was

be for Obey's River and based upon an examination
Of that river a tributary Of the Cumberland. the re-

The spelling was corrected by amendment IN the

Of the act of 1880 still retain the apparent error
There is an Obcds River rising near the
sonrce of Obey's River, but il is much
smaller stream, and runs into the Emory River. No
examination of il has ever been made. Congress
appears therefore deliberately to nave maue an APP

likely to be disappointed, but this prospect WIN
fort. On the contrary, it will make the
contest all the more bitter and protcacted. In
TINS condition of affairs. there are many cool and
JudicOus men in the House of Representatives who
regard it as more than likely that the XLVlth Con,

necessitate called session of the XLVIlthCon-

disposition in favor of it have rapidly gained
