The CANADA Pacific Railway. which
is to span the continent on British
territory, ia. it seems, to be some
thing more than a myth or a paper
railroad. The bill providing for its
construction has passed the Dominion
Parliament, and only lacks the Gov
ernor-GeneraPs signature, when it
will be law. That 1t will receive the
approval Of Lorne there can be no
doubt, as that representative OF roy
atty is known to be in favor of the
project. The scheme appears to be
in the nature OF what We would call
in this country a huge steal, as soma
OF cur American roads have been.
An association OF capitalists is TO
build the road and own it, and
Canada is to give land and
monsy subsidies to the value OF
about twice what the coustFuc-
ton and equipment will cost,
However, as much Of the land will be
worthless until the road is built the
Dominion may have made a good
bargain as the syndicate certainly
has. The Canadian Pacific will be
something OF competitor with the
trans-continental roads of the United
States, but it can do little harm to
other American Pacific lines until
nature becomes less profuse with her
Billiards, and the Manitoba waves
occur at longer intervals. As a road
for summer tourists it ought to be
popular, as it is understood that for
nine months in the year it will run
through SNOW hanks, and during the
remaining three months the traveller
will Lot require his iuleps iced.

HOUSE,

/ Washington, 15.-The desk re-
Gently occupied by Fernando Wood,
was draped in black and decorated
with handsome basket of flowers.
Carlisle, from the committee of
ways and means, reported back the
bill in relation to duties on manu-
features of iron, etc. Calendar.
Kelly, from the same committee,
reported back the bill releasing the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company from a certain tax. Re
ferred to the committee of the
whole.
Colkins, from the committee
on elections, submitted the unan-
imous report of that committee
upon the contested election case of
McCabe cS. Orth, in favor of the
latter.
The morning hour having been
dispensed with. the Speaker pro-
ceeded to call the states in their
order, to enable one member from
each state to ask consent for the
passage of any bill. Reports were
made as follows:
BY Blake, to regulate the collec-
ton Of taxes ON Weiss beer. The
bill provides that in lieu of the tax
of 81 per barrel of thirty-one gal
Ions, a tax Of &c. per gallon shall be
paid.
Dibnell offered an amendment.
providing that from and after the
1st day in July, the tax on brandy
distilled from fruit shall be soc. per
gallon.
Townshend, of Illinois, offered an
amendment, providing that duty on
- ? shall be reduced to 1c. per
ton.
Conger raised the point of order
that the chair must call for five OBJ
jectiOns to the amendments.
The chair Overruled the point, and
COnger appealed.
TOwnShend moved to table the
but Conger claimed the floor.
and a sharp, keen collOquy between
MIN and the chair ensued. The noise |
and confusion were so great that the |
hour expired without action.
The House went into committee !

Isle was in the chair.

rejected.
Chittenden criticized the manner
n which the advocates of the bill |
voted down every amendment Of
iered. -
Updegraff, of Iowa, offered an
appropriating $4,000 |
for an ice harbOr at Dubuque.
Springer raised a point of order
against the amendment, and a long
and technical. but rather interest
ing discussion, enSued, the chief |
point Of the controversy being as to
he character of the river and har-
Dor bill, whether it should be classed
among the general or special appro-
lriatiOn bills. If among the special
appropriation bills, much greater /
of amendment would be
permitted than if claSsed among
general bills, and the question being
important, the debate on
he point of order was continued at
Teat length.

New York, 16.-By an explosion

workmen, were probably fatal!
! burned.
Complaints are so frequen
| against mock auction shops, where
Yankee notions. clothing and jew.
elry are disposed of, that Mayor
Grace has directed that policemen
be placed in front of these places
The mayor intends to break up the
| business.
/ Exports, exclusive of specie, from
New York since January 1st t.
date, are nearly S5l 100000, against
S42 100000 In the same time in 1880
and S4l, 100000 in 1879.
While the fields of ice in the East
River are not so large as a fortnight
ago, they are much thicker, and nc
ordinary boats attempt now to break
the way through. Pilots are gener-
ally waiting an opportunity to go
around the large foes, slowing up
as they strike the larger cakes.
When the wheel strikes the ice it is
heavy enough to raise the boat and
give it a rolling motion, the wheel
going over instead of through. Boats
are unable to make more than about
one-third the ordinary trips, and
accumulated passengers filed the
ferry houses and over-crowded
boats. On the lower ferries of East
River less trouble was experienced,
although the ice was heavy, much of
it being two feet thick, with occa-
sionally rising two or three feet
above the surface of the water.
In the Whitaker court martial,
DR.. Alexander, post surgeon at West
Point, testified: My impression is
that Whitaker did the outrage him
self or had assistance from others
with his cOgnizance. Ny opinion
as to who, is not important. Gov.
Chamberlin thought his opinion was
important as a Judicial expert; and
he was asked if he saw any evidence
that would connect any accomplish
in the matter. The witness said
(hesitating): 1 saw nothing that
Whitaker was not capable of doing
himself, and saw no evidence that
any other person had a hand in it.
The witness formed his opinion as
to WhittakeEis coWardice by his own
story that he had lain there and
quietly submitted to have the out
RACES put upon him without resist
ing the assault. and showing him
self utterly wanting in the qualities
of courage which should form the
attributes of a gentleman and an
officer of the army. He thought he
would have to be very still to per
nit the cuts ON his ears to be made
as clean as they were.
Col. Lascelle repeated his testi-
mony given before the court of in
quiry.
A rumor prevails in business
circles that Grant will shortly re-
sign the presidency of the worlds
fair commission on the ground that
other and more important duties de-
mand his attention. Gen. Grant is
not at all satisfied with the small
amount of subscription towards
making the exhibition a success.

cate, which authorized him to offer |

LATEST TELEGRAMS.
FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.
LAST SESSION.
SENATE.

Washington, 15.-The bill was re-
ported back from the military com
mittee to place Thomas G. Critten-
den on the retired list, with the
rank and pay of brigadier general.
The funding bill was taken up.
Bayard explained the amendment
by the Senate finance committee,
and advocated a 81 per cent. $40
bond, and opposed compelling bond
holders to exchange bonds of higher
for those of the lesser rate. He said
the first section of S3GO,OOO,O0O treas
ury notes, payable in ten years,
with governments option to buy in
one year, were provided for at rate
not to exceed 81. If the market
proved favorable there would be
nothing to prevent their sale at or
.212 per cent. These treasury notes
were analogous in their use to what
are termed eXchequer bills in the
English system.
Eaton moved to make the rate
81.
Williams believed 8 per cent. could
be foated and would be snapped up
Instantly.
Without action on any of the
amendments the Senate adjourned.

WASHINGTON.

Washington, misrepresentation
Page, to-day. moved to strike out
the proviso TO the Oakland harbol
appropriation, in the river and har
Dor bill, on the ground that the
question of the title to the bed of the
estuary had already been settled tC
the satisfaction of the secretary OF
war by the elaborate opinion rem
dered by Attorney General Devens
last summer, which was conclusive
as to the right of the United States
to make the improvement, this
being the only way the question
could be settled, unless the govern
ment should choose to authorize
someone to bring suit against
it. The enactment of the
proviso, he said, would simply
lead to a repetition of what was
done last year, and with the same
result. His motion was defeated by
only three votes, and he, therefore
offered an amendment making the
proviso applicable to all other i'm
provementS provided for in the bill,
on the ground that the Oakland
harbOr should not be treated as an
exceptional case. This amendment
was rejected by seven majority.
Senator Grover introduced bill
appropriating- $4,000 for the pur-
pose of repairing the military
wagon road between Camp Stewart
and Fort klamath, and $4,000 for
similar repairs between Camp Stew
ard and Scottsburg, Oregon.
Senator Miller arrived here this
evening.
1t having been intimated that pos
sibly Senator Thurman's opposition
to the continuation of Stanley Mat
thewS may have been inspired by
the hope that he would himself be
to the Supreme bench. a
friend of the senator is authority
for the statement that he has de-
clared that he would not accept a
Supreme Court judgeship if it were
offered him, by either President
Hayes or General Garfield; but that,
on the contrary. he is anxious to re-
tire from public life and be per-
relieved of all its cares
and burdens.
Stanley Matthews, who has been
in Washington since Saturday, left
for home last evening. He is fully
that it is the intention Of
the Senate judiciary committee to-
1efeat his nomination.

enough, admitted having taking the
articles. The father punished the
child severely, and became con-
WINGED that she was kleptomaniac.

different language to that which
she used when answering Detective
Wilkens.

say you did?" Because Crawford's
(the name of her employer brother
