WASHINGTON, June 13.-The Senate amend
ments to the consular and diplomatic and pen
sion appropriation bills were non-concurred in.
Mr. Pryor then took the floor on the electoral
count bill.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Pryor's speech, Mr..
Townshend, of Illinois, submitted conference
report on the postofice appropriation bill He
said the items on which no agreement has been
reached were, first, increasing the appropriation
for the pay of letter-carriers; second increasing
by $1,OOOOoo the appropriation for mail
transportation on railroad routes; third,
striking out the clause regulating
compensation to Immigrant railroads;
fourth, appropriating 1885, 90 for special mail ia
cities; and fifth, increasing by 100000 the APP
preparation for railway postoffice clerks.
The conference report was adopted as far as
the items were concerned upon which an agree
ment had been arrived at.
MIR. Horn moved that the House Fecede from
its disagreement to the amendment increasing
from So, 600, 900 to $4,000, 900 the appropriation
for the pay of letter carriers.
After debate Mr.. Holman as a compromise,
suggested that the appropriation be fixed at
So 800 OO0 But the motion to that effect was
lost yeas, 81; nays, 1877.
Mr. Ho1T's motion to recede was carried-115
to 50. So the Senate amendment was coneurred
in.
The next point in dispute was the Senate
amendment increasing from $l1, 700. 900 to SILL
$50, 900 the appropriation for mail transportation
on railroads. This was considered in connection
with the amendment striking out the clause
reducing per cent of the compensation to rail
roads for mail transportation, and providing
that land grant roads and subsidy roads shall
receive only so per cent. of the compensation al
lowed other roads.
Mr. Horr moved that the House recede from
it's disagreement TO these amendments. Lost
Sc to 10l
The House then, on motion of Mr. Holman,
insisted on its disagreement to the amendments.
Without acting on the special facilities
amendment and the amendment increasing the
appropriation for railway postoffice clerks, the
House took recess until evening, the session to
be for the consideration of pension bills.

SWEPT INTO THE STREAM.
One. Thousand Acres of Land and
Fright Smart of Bears"

On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat stood an
aged Southern planter. Indicating by sweep of his
the waters the boat passing over, he said to
passenger from the North: When Twas twelve
years old I killed my first bear a new plantation
my father was then cutting out of forest that grew
directly over the waters of this bend. That was q
mighty good plantation, and there right smart
of bears there too But that one thousand acres of
land went into the Mississippi years ago"
1t is putting strain upon the figure to say that
great forests of youthful hope womanly beauty and
manly strength swept in the way every year
into the great turbid torrent of disease and death
Yet it should not be so. That it is so is disgrace
well as loss. Peopleare largely too careless or too
stupid defend their interests most precious
of which is health That cone all is gone. Disease is
simple but to reckessness ignorance the simplest
things might well be complex proposition in
Comic Sections. AS the huge Western rivers, which
often food the cities along their shores arise in few
mountain springs all our ailments be traced to
impure blood and small group of disordered organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for disease
is PARKERS TONIC. It goes to the sources Of pain
and weakness. IL response to its action the liver,
kidneys stomach and heart begin their work atresh,
and disease is driven out The Tonic is not however,
an intoxieant but cures desire for strong drink.
Have you dyspepsia, rheumatism, troubles which
have refused to yield to other agents2 Here is your
helm.

THE sTAR-RoUTE INQUIRY.

Counsellor Merrick's Testimony Before the
Springer Committee of Investigation.
WASHINGTON, June ID r. J. Merrick, of the
government counsel in the star-route cases, was
before the Springer committee to-day with
respect to the preparation of the dy-Dorsey
case for trial Witness said it would have had
to be very extraordinary case that could have
been stronger upon which to secure conviction.
The evidence in the trial was sufficient to have
secured conviction in the minds of any intelli-
gent persons, and there was in his opinion,
evidence enough to have convicted the defend
ants, without Walsh's testimony, which was
very important and which was not called to his
attention until the trial had progressed some
time. Walsh told witness his testimony
had been disregarded by the grand jury and
G. W. Bliss was the cause of their so disregard
ing him. He told witness of his testimony con-
corning Kellogg. Witness had not then heard of
that, and Walsh expressed surprise that such
should be the case when his associate counsel
Bliss knew all aboutit it. Witness said he then
might have said some harsh things about Bliss.
He was considerably excited, for he felt that if
Walsh told the truth great criminal had es-
capped. Believing this, he thought probably he
had spoken harshly of Bliss The jury impan
eled in the second trial, witness said, was bad
in every respect; some of them could neither
read nor write" He had but three per-
emptory challenges and was obliged to exhaust
one of these upon man who said that he had
never heard of the star-route cases, did not know
there was such thing as star route trial, and
could not read print When he appealed to the
court, saying this man was incompetent, the
judge replied that under the laws of the Dis
trict, he seemed to be the only man who was
competent When the committee adjourned the
witness was testifying concerning the efforts to
indiet Kellogg before his case should be barred
by the statute of limitation,
