THE body of the Earl of Crawford,
which was stolen from the family vault
in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is supposed
to have been brought to Philadelphia
by italian thieves. Large rewards have
been offered for its recovery, and de-
tectives, stimulated by this fact, have
succeeded in finding clue which will
probably lead to its recovery.

been declining IN the leading markets for the
last four weeks, and by the arrival of large
droyes from Colorado, Western Kansas and

panic In the Chicago market. These western

ranges at from 20 10 30 per cent over last year,

CONGRESS-.

Considerable time was occupied IN both
houses during the week in finally disposng
of the river and harbor bill The first con-
terence committee was unable to agree and a
second was appointed This committee agreed
and reported to both houses on Tuesday. The
senate adopted the report but the house voted
1t down by 10 majority, upon whichthe friends
of the measure became alarmed and freed an
adjournment. Next morning, after rallying
their forces, they found they had strength to
put it through, upon which Gen. Henderson
and Col Davis read the riot act to the followers
of the railroad m0nOpolists and forced a recon.
sideraton and new vote, when the bill was
passed by III against 50.
The senate spent large part of the week
on the house tax reduction bill, and Morrill,
and Sherman having proposed important
amendments IN regard TO the tariff duties 0he
whole tariff question having been studiously
excluded by the house, the democrats intro.
duced an amendment making sweeping re-
ducton OF 10 per cent. on all tariff duties. As
there WAS danger of this being adopted by the
senate, the proteCtionists became alarmed and
it was resolved to kill off the bill for the ses.
sion, movement which was made successful
by Mr. Hale getting the senate on Wednesday
evening to lay the bill aside and take up the
naval appropriation bill.
A singular bill has been before the house
during the week and will probably pass al

other material to be used in repairing foreign
Shipping in the yards Of this country. OF
course, without such drawback our ship yards
could get none of this work, which they find
profitable, yet no such drawback Is allowed
IN favor Of American ships, so that our ships
are generally repaired aboad and our ship
yards depend for such work on foreigners.
The naval appropriation bill, which, as 1t
passed the house, includes all Robeson's most
Objectionable jobs, is now before the senate
which is expected to change its whole charac.
ter. The motion at presentp pending Is to recon-
init the bill TO the appropriation committee,
with instructions to eliminate all provisions IN
regard to the organization of the navy.
The President on Tuesday sent to the senate
the appointment of NJ. S. Joslyn, of Woodstock,
Ill.,, as Assistant Secretary of the Interior, and
the appointment was next day confirmed. Mr..

ing can be more unreliable than telegraph re-
ports in regard to war operations by the
British when those reports ale filtered through
British channels. For that reason we set
down as sheer fiction the reports that came
from Alexandra by way of England last week
IN regard to the conduct of Admiral Nlchol.
son. commander of the American fleet at Alex
andria. According to these reports when the
vessels of all other nations withdrew from
before Alexandria as the bombardment was
about to begin, Admiral Nicholson refused to
get out of the way and notified the forts that
If fired upon he would shOOt back; and failing
to find an opportunity to involve his country
in war with Egypt in that way, after the
firing was over he sailed one of his ships
around the British mcnGfwar, giving each II
lusty cheer; and when it was decided to send
marines ashore Americans were the first to
land" &c. or course, il all this were true,
Admiral Nicholson would be proper subject,
as the New York SIM suggests, "for two
searching examinations: one by court mar
tial, and a second by a commission of lunacy."
The navy department at Washington, howev.
er, has no such information IN regard TO the
action OF Admiral Nicholson, and gives no
credence to these English reports. HIS IN
lstructions were to keep in The vicinity and at
iord place OF refuge to such American
citizens as might DC in danger from the guns
OF the British or Egyptians and after the
bombardment was over to send marines
ashore to look alter Americans that might
need protection or relief. II Is conceded,

national importance" nor IS there probably
one in ten Of them that will ever be navigated
by the smallest excursion streamer.
Undoubtedly such appropriations are an
outrage and will go far to justify the president
IN vetoing the bill, as it is said he probably
will, though many public interests of prime
importance would suffer in consequence.
There Is need for provision in the national
constitution like that IN the constitution of
New York, which authorizes the executive to
strike out Objectionable appropriations in a

would be sure death to the whole log-rolllng

THE RIVER AMP HARBoR BILL finally
passed congress on Wednesday, after having
been cut down by The conference committee
from about 22OO0,00O to SlS,000,00O. Among
Its more important items in this region are
$4,000 to continue the Illinois river improve
ment, which, with the former appropriation,
ought to be enough to build another dam :;
100000 to Chicago harbor, $4,000 to the
Calumet harbor, and $4,000 to Survey and
locate" the Hennepin canal, and to survey and
make an estimate of the cost of the enlarge
ment of the Illinois and Michigan canal, on
condition that the state transfers the "ditch" to
the general government.
Probably half of the appropriations made by
the bill are necessary and proper, but the 9th.
er half were put in on the "log.rolling' plan
to get votes to secure its passage. Among the
items of the latter class are such as the follow.

The anti-Chinese immigration act, which
President Arthur first vetoed and afterwards
approved operates with peculiar hardship on
about sixty thousand coolie laborers IN the
West Indies whose time has expired and who
desire to return to China. 1t would very
largely hasten the time, reduce the expense
and increase the comfort of their passage if
they could pass through the United States by
the quickest and cheapest route. But no YES
sci from the West Indies IS allowed to land
them on our shores, and the poor fellows will
be compelled to make dreary sea voyage of
six months, to loss of five SIX or millions to
the railroads or this country and as much more
to the California and Hong Kong steamers.
