on Indian Affairs, reported q substi-
tute for the bill. 1t sppropriates $780,
600 for the purpose, and directs how
the amount shall be distributed. The
substitute was agreed to and the bill
passed.
The Senate then proceeded to con-
slider the amendments to the river and
harbor bill.
The first amendment that was ques-
toned, was an item appropriating
{530,000 for the purchase OF the
Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan
Ship Canal and harbor of refuge.
Senator Ingalls, made the point of
order that the paragraph Yves new
legislation. 1t was not a bill to buy
canals. The item was general leglsla-
ton not connected with the bill.
The Chair over ruled the point of
OF order, holding that as the amend
ment was reported by a anding com.
mittee 1.-THE Committee ON Commerce),
aud in pursuance OF an estimate OF
the head OF the War Department, it
was in order.
Senator Edmunds made new point
that this commercial transaction (the
buying lot OF private property had
nothing to do with the general scope
of this bill, which was for improving
rivers and harbors. 1t was therefore
irrelevant.
The Chair submitted the question
of relevancy to the Senate and the
amendment was decided to be re'e-
want aud in order-yeas, 81; nays, 8.
Senator Edmunds opposed the
amendment. He said that at least 200
acres of land in that region land he
did not know how much more) had
been granted to the State of Wiscon-
sin to build this canal, and now the
government was asked to buy the
property which it had already paid
for, for the reason, as he supposed,
first, that it would be a refuge to msr-
liners, and, Sc, ond, refuge to the
stockholders. He put it in that way
SO as to be polite.
A long discussion eDsued, but, with
out arriving at any decision, the SEN

CHICAGO, ILL, July 6.-Pat Sheedy

and going TO Mayor Grace, got him to
refuse license on account
OF a decision rendered on the
9th of June that all places
with platforms must have

GREAT MINDS DIFFER.

The New York World, in it's sensible com
ments on the Interstate bill, thinks the
principle OF government restraint must
prevail in the end. "The people are stronger
than the corporations. The creator Is
greater than the creature. The master
should command the servant. And it is
high time that these truths had a practical
demonstration in the regulation OF railway
traffic."
On the other hand the Railway Register
takes the ground that the Reagan-Cullom
Inter State Commerce bill, which prohibits
will never pass Congress with such
provisions in it, for Senators and Repre-.
we'll know that the country
needs these traffic alliances ven more than
do the railways, for under such restric-
ton competition is most healthy and is
