Canadians Buck q Little.

OTTAWA, Canada, March 29.-The first
regular party vote of the session took place
i'm the House of Commons last night ou the
motion to 60 into Committee Of Supply.
The Hon. Mr.. Mckenzie moved an amend
ment in which he set forth the facts respect
ing the letting of the contract to Mr.. Onder-
donk, of California, for the construction of
the Port Woody and Emery's Bar section of
the Canada Pacific railway for $500, 900 more
than Messrs. Charlebois, of Montreal, offered
to perform the work for. He supported the
motion in a brief but pointed speech. Sir
Charles Tripper, Minister of Railway, did
not deny the facts of the case, but alleged
that the reason ne had not awarded the con-
tract to Charlebois & Mcdonald was that he
considered they were not in a pecuniary sit
uation to carry out the contract, and that
one member of the firm had already failed in
. contract with the Government. Members
on beth sides of the House joined in the dis
cussion, which was the most exciting Of the
session. A vote was taken and the amend
ment was negatived by SIS yeas to 12s nays.
The House sat till half past two,

Washington Items

CHICAGO, March 29.-The Journals
Washington special says: Senator Sherman
said he was much annoyed at the removal of
Wilson, Revenue Collector at Louisville, and
the appointment of Grant man. He says
If the Administration continues that course
he will make open war aud refuse to support
its nominees. Other Senators are also dis
satisfied, claiming that Logan, Cameron, and
Jones Of Nevada control all appointments.
The Stephens resolution about the removal
of Hayes, the official stenographer, says
Hayes was removed not because he was
Democrat but because he got salary from
the New York Associated Press, the duties
of which were inconsistent with the privacy
which should attend reporter in the Houses
of Congress.

THE Soldiers Home, near Washington, ID.
G., Is maintained by fund derived from
retaining twelve and half cents per month
out OF the pay Of every non-commissioned
officer, artihcer and private In the regular
army. IL is governed by three commission
ers, who are, at present, Surgeon General
Barnes, Commissary- General Macfeely and
Acknowledgement Drum. General Sturgis
ID Governor of the Home. Recently occu-
+, pants Of the Home have made complaints of
serious abuses, and General Sturgis being
called, In evidence, substantiated the CON-
plants. II Is alleged the conservatory and
flower gardens cost 5000 to $1,000 per year
to maintain them, but that tive Of the CON-
missioners use about all the flowers pro-
duced, and none are distributed to occupants
of the Home, and invalids on request are
only given what Is left, If any can be spared,
after the commissioners are supplied; the
flmily of Surgeon General Barnes are also
said to order mechanics at work at the Home
% 60 other work, not for the benefit of the
Home, and make purchases Of large amounts
not for the uses of the Home; all Of which
are audited by the commissioners without
consulting or the knowledge of the Gov
ernor. To stand off these charges series
of counter attacks has been made on Gen.
Sturgis, but as the New York Herald is
.championing his fight against the abuses, 1t
IL likely they will be recti1ed.

Pacific Railroad Matters.

ST. LOUIS, March 25.-C. P. Huntington,
in an interview regarding railroad affairs,
said that there will be no change in The pol.
icy of the st. Louis and San Francisco rail-
road, but that 1t will be extended as origin
ally designed. He stated that he intends
building railroad from Eagle Pass, Texas,
to the city of Mexico, and believes that 1t
will be the first one completed, as the route
selected offers less engineering difficulties
and passes through more productive coun-
try, with population greater than any other.
The Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
road will be placed in frst-class condition,
thoroughly ballasted, and the present iron
rails replaced by steel rails. He will also
have the line completed from Sap Francisco
to Galveston and New Orleans about Sep
TENDER. Mr.. Huntington expressed the
opinion that ownership in railroads means
the control, and that attempts TO regulate
freights by legislative action will lead to dis
aster. He favors laws to prevent freight dis
elimination, and said that it was always his
policy TO make uniform rates properly CLASH
fed.

MISS MARY HERMANN,S DEATH.
Sixty-three Days without Food.

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, March 15.-On
Monday IL was discovered that Mary Her
mann had taken the mumps. and fears were
entertained of fatal issue, as she became
feverish and began to groan and lament, for
first time since being at the asylum. The
glands were much swollen, giving great pain.
Yesterday it became apparent she must die.
During last night she demanded water every
few minutes, and talked a little. After day
light to-day she spoke no more, but suffered
some. At ten minutes before eleven this
morning she demanded water. Ten minutes
later she passed away quietly, without a
struggle, on the sixty-thrd day of her fast.
Mr.. F. Banner, of Louisville, her brother
in-law, was Immediately notified, and came
with an undertaken, removing the corpse.
The remains will be buried tomorrow at 2
p. m, in Cave Hill Cemetery, near Louis
willie. Her hair turned entirely gray during
the last three weeks. Otherwise she APP
peared no thinner than many living persons.
So ends the most remarkable fast on record.

MIR. CAMPBELL has addressed a letter to
the President that the following named gem
tlenen be appointed as the commission to
organize Utah: Judge Roseborough, Judge
Goodwin, Gen. Conner, Capt. Hooper and
Henry Lawrence. Mr.. Campbell's letter
states, In substance, that they are gentlemen
who thoroughly understand Mornonism and
Its local issues, and would undoubtedly be
more acceptable TO the people of Utah, both
the Gentiles and Mormons, than any other
who might be appointed; and that the Nor
mon element would likely be more quiet
aud submissive under a Commission of citi-
zens than otherwise. He thinks they are as
good and true men as can be found any
where; they have an extensive acquaintance
In the Territory, and would act faithfully
and for the best interests Of Utah and mo-
rality. Mr.. Campbell stated as his reason
for recommending Captain Hooper that he Is
n monogamist, opposes polygamy. and Is
very popular with his people; and he has
full confidence In Captain Hooper's integ-
rity, and that Captain Hooper is intelligent
enough TO foresee that church rule and po-
lygamy must soon end. These gentlemen,
Mr.. Campbell suggested TO the President,
could, in his opinion, reorganize the Terri
tory much better and more satisfactorily
than any other appointments that could be
made.-Corr. Ogden Pilot

A Denial by Gen. Grant.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Gen. Grant was
asked by reporter of the Star this after
noon If he had anything to say concerning
the alleged interview between him and T.
M. Nicoll, supposed to have taken place in
New York after Garfeld's election, which
was telegraphed from Chicago, In which he
(Grant) Is alleged to have spoken disparag-
ipgly of Rosecrans, saying that he Crosse
crans) never was fit TO command ali army;
he would not, or rather could not, obey Or
ders; he was what he (Grant) called a con-
stitutionai insubordinate, sort of pig
headed, obstinate man, who would get a
selfish prejudice into his head, and stick to
1t and act. on IL against the judgment and
reason of everybody else, and absolutely
was incapable Of seeing any force of any
facts or arguments in conflict with what for
the time being was his theory; and that he
(Rosecrans) would have been utterly de-
stroyed had it not been for the intelligence
of the army itself, and especially for such
subordinate officers as Thomas and Garfield.
Gen. Grant said in reply: do not know
Thomas M. Nichol, and do not remember to
have ever seen him in my life, and / GER
tainly never would have said to him such
things as are attributed to me in such cir
cumstances. A great deal that Is attributed
to me In that article, never said, or even
thought; but some of the things / did say,
but not TO Mr.. Sichol. | may have seen
Mr.. Nichol, but did not know him.

EDISoN,S ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
Several Miles in Successful Operation at
Menlo Park.

NEW YORK, March 22.-Several miles of
Edison's electric railway at Menlo Park are
now completed, and few days ago the pu-
pills of Professor Sloan's school, at Bergen
Point, New Jersey, about thirty in number,
were carried over the road by electricity at
the rate of over twenty miles per hour. Ed
ison's track is like that of all ordinary rail-
road, involving curves and grades, one being
over thirty feet to the mile, with the various
obstacles of ravines, streams, and rocks. The
car resembles our modern horse-car. The
electricity is communicated from wires, one
connecting with each track. The tracks are
insulated by covering the ends of the ties
with a non-conductive compound. The
wheels take up electricity from the tracks
and communicate with a dynamo-electric
machine gearing in the locomotive. Thus is
given on the train anoiseless, rapid, pleasant
motion, unattended with smoke, cinders, and
clatter.

Relief for the Flood Sufferers

Relief for the Flood Sufferers.
ST.. Louis, March 25.-About eight thou
sand dollars in money and large amount of
provisions and clothing have been raised
here for the benefit OF the overflow sufferers
on the Mississippi river. Captain Lee, in
charge Of the government relief expedition
up the Sunfower and Y azoo rivers, estimates
the loss of hogs as total in the Yazoo coun-
ties and the loss of cattle seventy-fve per
cent, and the fencing with many of the
smaller houses destroyed. He recommends
the distribution of rations to continue at
least two weeks at Johnsonville and three
weeks in the lower Yazoo counties, by which
time, he thinks, work will be begun in the
fields, and then the people can probably take
caro- of themselves. Seventy Thousand ra-
tions week, it Is believed, will be needed
until the water subsidies so that the people
can get to work.

AN APPEAL AGAINST CONVICT LABOR

We give space this issue to very well
written communication against the employ
ment of convict labor in Deer Lodge. As
no other town In Montana is subject to the
same conditions as this-having the Terri
torial penitentiary here, with fifty or sixty
men imprisoned-it is simply local ques-
tion. The writer, very intelligent, hard
working man, of excellent character and
position, objects to the employment of con-
vict labor In competition with free men who
seek to earn an honest living by honorable
toll, and lntimates that this town will soon
be filled with such an immigration seeking
employment. We have never known q
werkingman to 90 without employment at
fair wages In this town. There have been
times when 1t was impossible to obtain other
than convict labor. Ii does not follow that
the latter Is scheap" because it costs less per
day per man. On the contrary, we believe
1t Is on an average very expensive labor
expensive In the amount of labor done for
so many dollars. The preference will nat
urally be against convict labor, although
1t Is right to work these men and make them
earn portion of their keeping. But If
other labor can net be had, or Is exorbit-
ant In rate, or worthless, the employment
will be given to the convicts. In all States
and Territories 1t is the purpose to work
convicts for their penalty, health and the
revenues derived from such work, and that
will be the case here. A gentleman Just re-
turned from Texas informs US nearly all the
State and county convicts there are hired
out on railroads and farms, the contractor
being required TO guard them and furnish
secure place for their incarceration at night.
In some ether States their labor Is at
mechanical trades inside the prison, but the
labor comes into competition with free labor
just the same. Labor In Deer Lodge has
never been less than SO per day, notwith-
standing the competition OF convict labor,
and we never knew resident laborer to
lack employment. While this condition ex-
lists there Ii not much cause for complaint.

WASHINGTON, March 24.--It Is under
stood that the President, In selecting the five
Commissioners for Utah Territory, will
nominate only lawyers, believing that good
lawyers will be required to properly explain
the Territorial government. II IS stated that.
several leading citizens of Utah have already
been recommended TO the President, but IL Is
not likely any one from Utah, Mormon or
Gentle, will be appointed. 1t is further re-
ported that the President has intimated that
he will not appoint any one who applies,
either directly or indirectly, for the position
of Commissioner.
