XLlXth CONGRESS- FIRST SESSION
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.
Mr.. Allison, from the conference commit
tee on the sundry civil appropriation bill, re-
ported that the committee had been unable
to agree The conferees had gone over every
item in the bill with great care. There were
were to ask instructions from that body, and
on which the Senate conferees desire the
Judgment of the Senate. The first difficulty
related to appropriations for coast survey
The House provision had reduced the appro-
priatons for coast survey about 100000 be-
low the appropriation Of last year and MADE
practically new arrangement and adjustment
with reference to the official force OF the sur
vey, creating new offices and abolishing OLD
one, changing compensation. increasing
compensation, etc. The Senate had amended
the bill so as to practically continue the force
as it now exists, but had made concession 10
the House respecting the field force, by all
lowing its reduction from GA to 53 as vacan-
cies should occur. The House conferees IN
sisted that an adjustment should be made. In
the bill. The answer of the Senate conferees
was that the coast survey had been since
August, 1885, practically without a scientific
head and that when the Office had a respon-
sible head, with scientific knowledge, the
question could be carefully taken up and con-
sidered.
The question of retaining Yellowstone
Park and placing it under control of the War
Department evoked long discussion.
Finally the Senate insisted specially upon
its disagreement to the Yellowstone Park
item, and insisted generally upon its disa-
greement to other items and further confer
ence was ordered

feed to Preserve Property.

PITTsBURG, Penn, Aug. 2.-William
Green, prominent and active member of
the Columbus & Hooking Valley Railroad &
Coal Company, with number of friends,
passed through this city last night. In con-
versation with reporter concerning the an
ticipation of renewed troubles among the
hooking valley miners Mr.. Green said:
''A number of our miners are strongly op-
posed to the introduction of coal cutting ma
chimes in our mines. Many people predict
that this opposition will develop into, vio;-
lence and open riot worse than the outbreak
of about TWO years ago. Notwithstanding
this we mean to put our machines into oper-
alton even though shot land shell be needed
to do it.
''We have governor now who will fear
lessly protect the rights Of property: He
will, whenever circumstances demand it,send
sufficient troops into the valley to shoot the
lawless element there who have made so
much trouble of late. If a dozen or so of these
men were shot I'm certain that there would
be peace for some time to come. This will
be done if destruction of property is again
resorted to by the miners. We have equipped
seven or eight of our mines with machines,
continued the gentleman, ''but at present
they are all standing idle.

A Sensation AmongsmalI Craft.

A very amusing incident occurred in the
bay one day last week. A large number Of
boats, most of them sardine boats, were be-
Gained in the bay, when sudden breeze
sprang up and with it appeared in sight the
government cutter General Middleton. The
boats were quickly scattered in flight. About
a dozen sought st. Andrews harbor, while
as many more sought shelter ON the Ameri-
can shore. AS soon as the boats were in the
harbor and moored, a rush was made to the
custom house to enter them. The cutter,
however, proudly sailed through the harbor
without making any inquiries as to whether
or not the boats were strictly observing the
rep11lations of 1918.

A. r. Yates, the horse man, has at work
for him an athletic young colored man, who
is able to take care of himself, but who,
nevertheless, is Of decidedly peaeeable
turn of mind. Sunday evening he was COM
ing along Silver street with dish of grain
in his hand, and when near the Universalist
church overlook two belligant young bloods
who tried to prevent his passing. After one
or two attempts he cody laid down the dish
of grain, took off his hat and charged, in
way that is peculiar to the colored race. His
hard head took one of the blockaders in
the portion of the body somewhat slangily
termed the bread-basket and doubled him
up like a jack-knife. The other attempted
to dodge, and as he was climbing the fence
the baltering ram reached him Ihe record sbat
tered. The demoralized blockader went off
into the air like a potato ball from the end
of sharp stick. The game was called at
this point with two scores for the darkey
and a goose-egg for his opponents.

The Cutter caIates.

So much has been said of the four yachts
that have been built for the defence of the
Americas cup that a brief description OF
their rival, the English cutter Galatea which
has just arrived at Marblehead, will be in
teresting. She is steel vessel, and was
built at Greenock, on the Clyde, for racer;
is fast craft, although she has not been
successful prize winner. She is somewhat
longer than the Genesta, has much more
sheer, and is fuller aft. Her first race was
on May 80, at the match of the New Thames
Yacht Club. She led the procession by fif-
teen seconds, but the Irex, on account OF the
time allowance of II minutes, took first
prize. The Wendus was third. The next
day, at the Royal Harwick, she was third,
the Irex and the Wendus both beating her.
She was fifth on June 9, at the match Of the
New Thames, and fourth at the Royal
Thames Channel, on June 10. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion among yachtsmen that she is
oversparred, and also the Trek, by which she
has been beaten every time they have met,
is the fastest yacht in England. Neyerthe-
less, it does not follow that the American
Yachts will have an easy victory, for she has
been subjected to alterations to increase her
speed, and will undoubtedly give a good ac-
count of herself. A table giving the dimen-
sions of the five Yachts is appended:
