ings was not received yesterday.-ED.l
WASHINGTON, January 22.-Mr Hew-
lit, of New York, agreed with Mr.. Reed
in maintaining the freedom of debate,
but in the present case there was no.
thing to debate. The Democratic side
had to maintain for many years the
right OF the representatives of the people
to discuss important political questions,
and many times had he seen the other
side trying to suppress debate. 1t
did not lie in the mouth of the
gentleman of the other side
to taunt the Democrats with any
attempt to limit debate. To undertake
to come in now with partisan statemen IS
was 10 waste public time and abuse the
confidence OF the House. MIR. Reeds
motion was voted down.
At2.30 Herbert thought he had Sc
cured a quorum of Democrats, aud
accordingly further proceedings under
the call were dispensed with. The
previous question was then ordered on

Angeles and Moiave are progressing
favorably. Telegraph wires are work
ing to nearly all the places.
The steamer Orizdtia, arrived to-day
from Los Angeles. brings details OF the
devastation produced by a storm in
that city and vicinity. The rains OF
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday were
reinforced by a cloudburst in San
Fernando vallep on the last-named day
and Los Angeles River, almost without
warming. became a raging torrent and
soon flooded the southern part
of the centre of the town. The
water also flooded over 1000
acres of orchard and vineyard and rose
two feet higher than the food OF Feb
ruary, 1894. Over fifty houses were
washed away or completely wrecked.
Every bridge across the Los Angeles
River was swept away and also hun
dreds of feet of track of the Southern
Pacific and local railroads. Telegraph
poles were included in the general des-
truction and for three days the city was
cut off from Geographic and rail
road communication with the rest
OF the world. Mrs. Kate Lyle
and Mrs. Theresa Whitney, daugh-
ter of Thomas Whitney, carpen-
ter, were drowned while being rescued
from partially-wrecked houses. A
number of other lives are believed to
have been lost A large quantity of
stock also persisted. The damage to

THE UTAH EXHIBIT.
Good Words From a New Orleans
Vu Paper.

The land of Mormondom has many
curiosities in the way of miracles. The
great Ontario mine is within her borders
situated thirty miles from Salt Lake at
Park City. The mine is represented
jointly with the DAILY mine by pyra-
mid of silver ore, which is the centre
peice OF the Utah exhibit. The Ontario
mine has paid 100000 to it's stock
holders srnOe 1877. The wonderful Horn
Silver mine of Frisco, Utah, has taken
out SO 100000 in silver. The Eureka
and Beck mines, of the Tintic mining
district, represents hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, as do the Crescent,
Tiewaukee and lead mines. Sulphur
beds inexhaustible are found in South
ern Utah. Salt is. shoveled up like sand
on the shores of Great Salt Lake. One
of the rare minerals of the Territory is
Utah cerite, black wax, which is found
in Eastern Utah, near the Uintah Indian
agency. This wax can be refined and
made as white as beeSwax and makes
beautiful candles. which burn as bright
ly as any In the market.
One of the exports from this beautiful
land is dried fruit of all kinds, and the
dried peaches of Utah command a larger
price than any others made in America.
Drying these fruits is one of the many
ways the polygamist danes have tor
making pin money. Hot mineral
springs are plenty and are fast coming
into notoriety for their health-giving
properties. Visitors to the Exposition
are invited to call on Assistant Com
missioner Wallin and drink glass of
water taken from the hot mineral
spring situated close to Salt Lake City,
and great resort for invalids.
Alum, rock salt. fine clay, marble and
granite are found all over the Territory.
Wheat weighs sixty-fye pounds to
the bushel, oats thirty-fiye to thirty-six,
while rye and barley are very much
heavier than in the Eastern States.
Utah barley finds great favor with st.
Louis, Milwaukee and Chicago brewers.
The soil is wonderfully rich producing
two crops of hay and three crops of lu-
cerne, the latter being very nutritious
for stock and great milk food for dairy
cows.
Utah boasts of the best potato soil in
the world, often producing 600 bushels
of mealy, sound Murphps to the acre,
some weighing ten pounds. while three
to five pound specimens are found in
nearly every hill.
Iron and coal are found side by side
in greater abundance than in Penn
sylvsnia. eaa
Utah's beef and mutton are shipped
to Chicago and New York. -.
The Territory boasts eff her wollen
fabrics, and of her -four specfmens-both
being on exhibition. ~ 49, i.
