rHE STORM IN CONGRESS-.

Senator Ransom introduced a resolu-
ton to appropriate 500 600 for the re-
lief of the cyclone sufferers Ia the South.
He stated that 500 were killed, and thous-
ands wounded. There was quite a de-
bate, and Senators Morgan, of Alabama,
and Elisha Ha ris of Tenn, opposed the
bill. 1t was referred to the Committee
on Appropriations.
We do not think the National Govern
ment was created TO levy taxes for chart
table purposes but as millions on millions
are given away to the Yankees, year after
year, for Pensions, for fancy buildings,
for Expositions, for Railroads, for Rivers,
for Mississippi Levees, Ohio River
Floods, Chicago Fires, etc.,-wea applaud
the aim of Ransom to get a few dollars
fer our own people.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Land Grant Forfeitures.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April S.-A fierce
controversy is anticipated in the House
over the pending propositions declaring
the forfeiture of the railroad land grants.
The bill provides for the forfeiture OF
aoout 81, 100000 acres of the Northern
Pacific grant, and will probably create
most bitter contest, and it is thought by
members that long debate will ensue on
the proposition. This is the most inn
portant of the forieitures, and involves
more legal questions than the others.
Consideration of the bill declaring the
forfeiture OF the grant TO the Oregon Cen
trail may be resumed to-day, unless it is
crowded over by the Keifer-Boynton re-
port, which Hopkins will endeavor to
have considered.

Brave Rescue Of a Noble Boy.

NEW YORK, April S.-The life-saving
corps, which was recently organized here
and instructed by some of the st. Louis
life-savers, had its first chance to do some
thing yesterday, and it proved not un-
worthy of its teachers. A seven-story
apartment house caught fire and burned
tlercely. Every one got out safely but
Louis Castein, the elevator boy, who,
searching for occupants, found himself
on the top floor cut off from the elevator

crept upon the sill, calling frantically
to those below for help. The street was

Before the Jeanette Committee this

that it was his opinion that had the party
on the retreat been properly guided and
equipped with proper instruments they
could have reached point of safety on
the Siberian Coast by journey of 800
miles. He had heard complaints by some
of the officers during the retreat on ac-
count of delay. There was special com
plant at the delay of eight days at Ben

he believed place of safety would have
been reached before the severe Gather.

HALIFAX, N. S., April S.-Three wreck
ing schooners are taking out the cargo Of
the wrecked steamer Steinmann. The
divers report the steamer upright and
the deck-houses in place, but the
hull shows signs of going to pieces.
The divers have not yet entered
the cabin. No bodies have yet been
seen in the vessel. 1t is the opinion of
many acquainted with the coast that most
of the bodies outside of the vessel would
be carried to sea by an under-tow. The
surviving passengers leave tomorrow for
New York The opinion of sea-faring
men acquainted with the approach to the
harbor are unfavorable to the commander
of the Steinmann regarding .the working
of the ship on the night of the disaster.
