THE APPROPRIATIONS FIGHT.
A Long Conference Probable on the
Postal Bill.

A Long Conference Probable on the
Postal Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The clash be-
tween the Houses over the appropriation
bills, owing to the Senate's policy of in
creasing the amounts fixed by the House,
may be said to have commenced. 1t is
inaugurated over the post office bill, which
the Senate has largely added to. This
bill will 90 to a conference committee.
1t is not expected that it will bring about
a deadlock, but it will doubtless be an
unusually long time before the confer ence
agrees. There will have to be concessions
on both sides, and mainly from the Sen
ate. According to Mr. Randall's deter
minatiOn there will be just such fights
over all appropriation bills, some greater
and some less. AS heretofore stated in
these dispatches it will be about the naval
bill that the deadlock will arise. 1t is
even stated by some members that the
temper of the House is such that unless
the Senate recedes from its enormous in
crease of the money appropriated by the
House for the navy, especially the en-
tirely new provision for six new steel
cruisers, there will be no naval bill passed
at all.

CoLoRADo's NEW GOLD FIELDS.
Thousands of Miners with Great Expec-
tations FIocling TO the Scene.

DENVER, April 22.-The excitement
over the new gold discoveries at Mount
Pisgah, near Pixies Peak, is becoming in
tense. A thousand men are already in
camp there, and others are f1ocking from
all directions. The Miners Union has
formed a district named the Golden Val
lev. and hundreds of claims were staked
off Sunday. Several large companies are
being formed here, and leading mining
men are becoming convinced that the dis
cOveries are genuine and the most i'm
portant in the history of the State. The
charge of ''salting" made in Leadville is
believed to be groundless and malicious.
A representative of the Tribune tele-
graphs:
1t is not strictly ''placer ground" but there
is gold bearing gravel in the gulches, in some
places cemented into a hard mass, almost
rock. and IN others quite free. The color often
obtained by washing bears a strong resem-
blance to the "drv placers" of New Mexico.
Most of the gold is in combination, but the
combination is not uniformly chemical. The
best opinion now is that the placers will prove
of only secondary Importance compared with
lodes sure to be developed. The district is
very large. The rock is volcanic and charged
with mineral. The district is certainly one
of great possibilities Several assays have
been made, averaging about forty ounces of
gold per ton with trace of silver. Some have

the business under the control of the pres
eut organization.

CARLISLE TO SPEAK.
He Will Close the Debate in Favor of
the Tariff Bill.

ne " III OlOsG bnc DcDate III EdFOF OF
the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The fact that
MIR. Carlisle viii make a speech on the
tariff is considered to be a good stroke of
policy on the part of the tariff reformers.
Mr.. Carlisle will make the best speech on
his side of any man in the House. 1t is
evident that the Democrats in favor of no
tariff agitation are somewhat anxious as
to what the effect of Dir. Carlisle's argu-
ment may have on the weak men in their
ranks. They are consequently trying to
create the impression that it would not be
dignified for'the Speaker to take part in a
debate on the floor. They point to the
fact that Messrs. Keifer, Kerr and others
never did such thing. The Carlisle men
have also been looking up a precedent.
They mention Messrs. Randall, Galusha
A. Grow, Blaine and Robert G. Winthrop
as Speakers who took an active part in
House debates. In fact most of the pre-
cedents are ON the side of the Carlisle
men in the matter.

NEW ORLEANS, April pa special
from Mobile, Ala, says: ssThe Attorney
General, by request of the Secretary of
the Treasury, who has been strongly ap-
pealed to by the Spanish Consuls here and
at New Orleans, telegraphed yesterday
morning to District Attorney Ruskin to
vigorously enforce the neutrality laws
against any one who shall fit out or at
tempt to fit out tilibustering expedition
in this city,"
WAsHINGToN, April 22.-The Senate
was in executive session to-day three
hours, having under consideration the re-
cOmmendaton of President Arthur that
Collector Wicker, of Key West, Fla. be
removed. The issues were both of fact
and of method. It was maintained by
Mr.. Wicker's friends that he had done
nothing to merit removal, while others
cOntended that his acts of open sympathy
with the Cuban insurgents were
ample grounds for removal. 1t
was said also that the President
had full power to act as he saw fit in the
matter, and that the interference of the
Senate was unprecedented and uncalled
for. To meet this objection an amend
ment was proposed to the Commerce
Committees report, declaring that the
action of the Senate should not be con-
strued as an expression of opinion in re-
gard to the constitutional power OF the
President to remove at will. Thereupon
the Senate adopted the report advising
the dismis sal of Mr.. Wicker.

visit has nothing to do with the alleged
plan for the purchase of Cuba by the
United States, nor has it any bearing on
the insurrection in Cuba.
