The Senate,

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The river and har-
Dor bill was taken up and various suggestions
were made by Senator Mcmillan and others,
with view Of securing final vote upon the

entertained OF forcing tie bill through under
the gag law, said he would not insist upon
separate votes upon all amendments made by

Senators Allison and Logan opposed the mo-

route OF the canal had been located; further,
that the locating of the york did not involve
any expense or responsibility.

DUBUQUE. Iowa, has developed the
most enthusiastic newspaper apologist of
the Hubben blackmailing circular that
we have yet heard Of. He AYERS that he
can name scores of clerks in Washington
who have for years not only refused to
contribute to the Republican campaign
fund, but who, on the contrary, have
contributed to the Democratic fund. The
editor of the Times should lose no time
in giving the names of these patriots to
the public. Both parties are interested
in knowing who they are-the Democrats
that they may know them, and the Re-
publicans that they may put men in their
places who will respond to Hubbell's as
sessment. 1t may be, however, that the
Times man has drawn ON his usually
strong and vivid Imagination to such an
extent as to warrant some heather in
reaching the conclusion that he has, to
say the least, allowed his yea! to get the
better of his veraclty.

Work In the Robbery Cases.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-In the star route
cases John Carey, Oregon, testified he carried
mail over route from Cannon City, Oregon,
to Camp McDermott. A letter from Miner
was produced. 1t has printed the head of the
Overland mail transportation company, with
the names of Vail, Williamson and Miner, as
officers. Miner writes it has come to his
knowledge that one Abbott, postmaster at
Al7ero mas oeen complaining to the depart
ment that only weekly mail comes to him.
Miner directs Cary to see this postmaster and
silence him, using money If necessary for this
purpose. He says Abbott probably has known
nothing OF the through mall and would be
satisfied with weekly service. He adds
Abbott had once before complained in the
ssme way; had only ceased upon payment of
sou, and was probably anxious now to get
more money. Cary is directed to report his
success TO Williamson. The reading OF this
letter produced marked impression. Cross.
examination failed to shake the direct evil.
dence.
Another route was taken UP. During the
introduction OF documentary evidence, which
mas become very monotonous, Judge Wylie
several times expressed impatience, saying
time was precious aud the proceedings must
be fastened.
Counsel for defendants objected to the intro.
duction OF certain evidence, because Miner was
the only one Of the defendants who ever had
anything to do with the route under consider
alton and he disconnected himself over four
years ago.
The court said the indictment could not be
taken apart like child 8 toy, part OF the evil
dence being ruled out as to one defendant and
announcer part where another defendant was
concerned. All that were named for conyic.
ton must be found guilty on the whole in.
dlctment and not upon parts of it. In his
| view OF the law the jury could convict some
| oithe defendants and discharge others, but
whoever was convicted must be convicted OF
the whole. He did not wish to be under
stood, however, as giving any opinion what
| ever upon the merits of the case.
The subpoena issued for ex-senator Spencer

turned from New York and unserved, and al
attachment was this morning issued for him

The Northern Pacific people are senaing up
daily parties who go out to locate on
the rich lands of northern Dakota. It is
wonderful what a population is going IN
there. The specimens of wheat and oats that
are exhibited at the general offices of that
company on Jackson street tell what kind of
a country the great Northern Pacific
! road passes through. ALI through the
| season the people have seemed to take q good
| deal OF fancy to Burleigh county, and many
have gone there. Later along in the season
Billings came to be the attractive point, and
| for some time people swarmed into that
point. They are scattered all along the line
| Of the road, and are fast converting the vacant
prairies into habitab;e homes and cultivated
farms.
The st. Paul & Manitoba road was yester-
day displaying at the general offices of that
| road a sample OF oats grown in Otter Tail
county, on the farm of A. B. Todd This
specimen was sufficient to satisfy any one
| that the land where that specimen OF oats
grew is sufficiently rich to produce
anything that will grow in the earth.
The specimen of oats consists
OF foot square of soil upon which stands as
many stalks OF oats as can grow upon IT,
These stalks are flfty-thres inches, or over
four feet in length. Each stalk is large,
strong and healthy, and all the leaves are of
beautiful deep, rich green, and the heads indi.
cate eighty bushels to the acre. The soil at.
tached shows the rich, well known loan of
the Red river valley.

IN EARLY MORNING FIRE.

Merriam & Wi1der's Block. Westminster
Street, scorched-Suffsrers and Losses.
The Merriam g. Wilder block of fine resi-.
dences on Westminster street was visited by
fire at about 1:30 yesterday morning. The
residences are numbered COS, COZ, GOO, Gil and
Glib. The fire broke ont In the base.
ment OF COZ, occupied by Mr.. Harry
Middleton, superintendent OF machinery of
the st. Paul, s. Manitoba road, and was not
discovered until 1t had worked its way UP
through the rear parlor on the first floor into
the chamber above, when the servant--the only
person in the building at the time, Mr.. and
Mrs. Middleton being absent--was awakened
to find her escape by the stairway cut off by
the tames. Her screams. however. soon
brought assistance,and the girl was rescued by
way of the window without Injury.
In the meantime an alarm had been turned
in, but for some cause it was badly mixed
and some time was lost by the lower to wn
division of the department in reaching the fire.
Of the block-with substantial parti.
tons from the floor of the base
ment to the roof-the fire spread
very slowly, so that when the engines did
finally get on the ground, the main bUdy of the
fire was still confined to GOT, a small blaze just
beginning to show in ther ear attic of los.
After the engines reached the spot
1t took but short time to
subdue the flames, the princi.
pal damage outside of COZ beng by water by
which the furniture in 600. occuDied:by H. w.
Topping, and Gil, and also by the removal
was more or less damaged. The rear of GOT,
occupied by Mr.. Middleton, was pretty well
burned out, and his household furniture not
actually burned, was pretty effectually des-
troyed by water. His loss is estimated at ST.
GOO to$1 ,20eupon which he had no insurance.
The injury 10 the attic of COS, was light, but
the whole building was well drenched by wa.
ter as were Nos. 609 and Gil. The losses OF
the tenants of those buildings by breakage
and water will range from 5000 to $7O0 each.
The total loss on the buildings is estimated at
$500, fully covered by insurance in the
Fire & Marine agency.

House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The house went
into committee on the sundry civil bill. The
clause appropriating S2,40o,OO0 for public
printing and binding gave rs4 to a general
discussion on the subject of deficiencies in
the public service, Messrs. Atkins and Ran
dali contending that such deficiencies arose
through executive NAL administration, while
Messrs Hiscock and Robson maintained they
arose through necessity and not through VIC.
lation of law.
The clause authorizing the republication of
the reports OF the United States supreme court,
upon which the copyright has expired, having
been reached, Mr.. Neal offered an amendment
providing that tie republication shall be
carried on at the public printing office, and

cent. additional. Adopted. THIS amendment
was amended by adding the words ''but this
provision shall not affect existing contracts"
clause appropriating 5000 to pay James l..
Andorn for reporting testimony before the
committees on foreign affairs and public
buildings and grounds gave rise to discussion
upon the subject of the recent removal of the
committee stenographers, Hayes and Devine.
Debate was confined TO the consideration of
the question as to the construction of the
words "for cause" in the law which authorizes
the speaker to remove stenographers for
cause. Debate continued for an hour and
half with much emphasis on both sides.
Mr.. Blackburn offered al amendment for
payment of one months extra salary TO the
annual and session employees of the house.
Mr.. Holman raised a point OF order in
discussing it, and made some remark intimat-
ing that Mr.. Blackburn was in favor of taking
money out of the treasury.
Mr.. Blackburn stated that such an intima-
ton was not true, but was called to order by
the chairman.
The point Of order was oyerruled and the
amendment adopted.
The convention then rose, there being one
