WASHINGTON, Auga ito a reporter
the president said to-day that an examina-

of the facts presented to him by Gen. New
ton, chief of engineers of the army, and
Gen. Parke of the engineer corLs, With
whom he conferred on the subject, had con-
WINGED him that on the whole the interests
of the government demanded its approval.
Gen. Newton, whose knowledge of the con-
dition of the present works and the necesS-
tiles for the future was based on reports
made to him by the engineer corps of the
army, assured the president that of the items
in the bill all but eighteen in number,
comprising less than 1 per cent. of the
amount appropriated, were meritorious be-
You'd question, and while he in no manner
condemned those, he was unable to give a
positive opinion because of lack of COM

president had made as thorough an exami-
although with such reports as were at
hand he had been unable to absolutely sat
isfy himself as to their character, he found
that all appeared to be for the

ton. The president said he had gone over
the bill as fully as the data at hand and
the time permitted him for that purpose
allowed, and while some of it's provisions
not included in the items above mentioned
were probably Objectionable he was satisfied
that most OF the improvements provided
for were of great Importance and he had
found that the loss which would ensue to
the government from the deterioration of
existing works, in case of further stoppage.

money, estimated by the war department

required to protect and preserve the work
begun and in progress, upon which
many millions have already been expended
would, in case of failure to continue it
now, exceed by about $4,000 900 the amount
appropriated in the bill which, in tue judg-
ment of the governments engineers may
be unnecessary. The present bill is smaller
than that for any like period in several
years. The appropriation for the period
ending in 1884 was SIS, 9SS, S75; that for
the year ending in 1885 $14. 94S, 800.

Special to the Globe
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. Rev. G. C.
Haddock, whose tragic death at Sioux City,
Ia, was reported this morning, was well
known in Wisconsin, and especially in Mil
waukee. He was at different times pastor
of the Grand Avenue and Asbury Method
lst Episcopal churches and was recognized
as one of the brainiest ministers in the con-
ference. Mr.. Haddock was New Yorker
by BIRTH and came to Milwaukee some
years before the war. He was printer by
profession and for number of years held the
position of foreman in the Free Democrat
office when that paper was run by Sherman
NJ. Booth. While there Haddock con-
ceived the idea of joining the ministry and
began studying for that end. He was adj
mitted early in the COS, and from that time
till his departure for Iowa. five or siX,'years
ago. filled wider field in religious circles
than any other divine in the state. He filled
appointments in all the leading cities in the
Eastern portion of the state and at one time
served as presiding elder of the Fond du
Lac district. Mr.. Haddock was known as
fighter. Believing cause to be right he
went into it with his whole soul and
strength, not sparing his opponents nor i'll
turn asking for any quarter. He was a
leading advocate of the temperance cause.
While stationed at Sheboygan Falls,
eight or nine years ago, the fight
between the liquor sellers and the temper
ance people waxed warm. AS usual
Haddock was in the thick of the fray.
When returning home one evening he was
waylaid by a crowd of roughs who ex-
pected an easy prey. In this they were dis
appointed. The preacher soon showed he
was member of the church militant and
the way in which he turned the tables on
his assailants caused them to take to their
heels in flight. This was the last
time any attempt was made to
whip the minister in that town. When
presiding elder of the Fond du Lac district
Mr.. HaddOck became involved in bitter
controversy with Rev. Mr.. Carhart. The
latter preferred charges of immortality
against the presiding elder but failed to
produce evidence to sustain them. A year
or two later Mr.. Haddock left the state for
Iowa. Temperance people say that his
tragic death will have the effect of solidify-
ing the Prohibitionists in this state.

DEFIANCE, O., Aug. 5.-At 5 o'clock
last evening Ellen Amo, young lady of
49, or 20, jumped from the Second street
bridge into the river and was drowned.
The story which led to this sad affair dates
back to last winter, when she in company
with man named John Lynch came here
and stopped with her sister. They roomed
together and said they had just been IN ar
ried at Toledo. Her brother, who also
lived here, distrusted the story and learned
upon telegraphing that it Was not so, and
swOre out warrant for Lynchs arrest.
Lynch hearing of it left town. Shortly
after the girl began keeping company with
young fellow living here named John
Hawkins. They continued in each others
society until the 14th of May, when Lynch
appeared on the scene. The following day
Lynch was arrested, and to free himself,
and upon the firm demand of Amo, was
quietly married by Esquire Travis The

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The first session
Of the Forty-ninth congress, which ended
to-day, began on Monday, Dec. nth, 1885,
and covered period of seven months and
twenty-eight days, or 241 days, exclusive of
Sundays. Of this time the senate was in
session 1854 days and thes house 1S5 days.
During that time there were introduced in
the two houses 13,202 measures. of which
1904 were house bills, and 214 house joint
resolutions and l, S91 bills and SO joint reso-
lutions of the senate. The measures pro-
posed for laws exceeded in number by
2, 949 those introduced at the first session of
the Forty-eighth congress, which sat for
seven months and four days, or 165 days of
actual working time. They covered all
sorts of subjects, from the payment of la
borer at the capital for extra services to the
complex questions of tariff legislation and
legislation with respect to national finances.
Of the entire number comparatively few
were of what may be termed national i'm
portance. The greater number were meas

importance, such as relief and pension bills,
for the erection of public buildings. for
bridging rivers, for granting right of way

bilities, for changing judicial districts. for

for changing the names or location, or in
creasing the capital of national banks, for

small percentage of the whole number of
