WASHINGTON, Jan. l5.-The house
committee on rivers and harbors to-
day decided to recommend an sppro-
priation of $3.50 600 for the New Or

bors and 10 report 10 congress. The

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Democratic Members Of the House
Discuss Appropriation Meas
ures in Caucus.
The House Committee on Rivers aud Har-
bOrs Considering the Galveston
HarbOr Appropriation,
THE DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS.


WAsHINGToN, Jan. is - Immedi-
ately after the adjournment this after
noon the Democratic members Of the
house of representatives held
short caucus. II was an.
nouuced that its object was to
agree upon a plan OF work during
the remainder Of the session. No plan,
however, was presented. Mr. Randall
said that he had called the caucus
merely to scquaint the members with
the condition Of the appropriation
measures. He WAS of the opinion
that there would be no
disagreement between the two houses
of congress, and that every appropri-
alton bill would be passed before the
4th of March. He recommended that
nothing be done which would embar-
rass in any way the
new administration. Speaking
of the naval appropriation
bill for the next fiscal year, he said
that he believed that it would be TO
the best interests of the Democratic
party not to appropriate money this
year for an increase in the navy, as
iAA htNA nAlhuki1
He was in favor of increasing
the strength of that branch of the
government, but he thought 1t best to
wait until next year. He thought
that the subject ought to be re-
ferred TO the naval COMMITTEES
Of the next congress-, that the commit
tee ought thoroughly to examine the
subject, prepare plan for the pro-
posed increase and submit IL TO con-
| grfss.
MIR. O'Neill Of Missouri said that
he WAS q friend OF the laborers Of the
country and in favor Of the appropria'
ton OF as much money as was neces
sary to keep the navy-yards in opera
| ton.
Mr. Ellis Of Louisiana said that he
believed that an appropriation for a
new navy should be made this session
thereby preventing the delay which
would be caused by referring the sub
ject to the naval committee Of the
next congress,
Mr.. King of Louisiana offered a res
olution providing that the Democrat,
members of the house should follow
the majority of the committee ON ap
propriations. The resolution is L
stand.
The caucus then adjourned.

Until recently sugar cane was looked
upon rs practically worthless also, and
was permitted TO 90 to waste Ly the
thousands Of tons. In pursuing some
investigations a short time ago for the
purpose of dis overing, if possible,
whether the fiber of the cane could not
be used in the manufacture Of bagging,
n gentleman found properties which con
vinced him that paper could be made Of
the stalk if suitable machinery could lie
devised for reducing it to a pulp. After
many discouragements the task was ac-
complished, and of the first batch Of
pulp manufactured a northern paper
mill recently made enough sugar ane
paper to print one edition of The New
Orleans Picayune.
A copy Of the paper now in hand is
substantial and tough, with fair color
and smooth surfaces. 1t is claimed for
it that it. will be specially desirable for
use or fast printing presses, and that its
manufacture, which is now regarded as
a permanent enterprise, will addlargely
TO the wealth of Louisiana, as well as
tend still further to simplify the prof.
lem of paper making.

At Hilo, in the Hawaiian islands, /
