FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS.
First Session,
ENATE.

I'M WASHINGTON, April 80.
The conference report on the Indian an
preparation bill was submitted by Mr.. Dawes
ana concurred in by the Senate.
The post office appropriation bill was taken
up and Mr.. Hale resumed his remarks on il.
Mr.. Hale quoted variety OF statistics 70
show the commerce of Central and Sauth
America The total annual commerce of
those countries. he said. was $3.50, 900. 900.
OF which imported goods formed some s42O.-
100000. and OF thu large sum the United
States furnished only $40, 900, 900, or 10 per
cent. Those people were friendly 10 us.
lnelr history was To some extent like ours
lhey mad revolted from European govern
ments and had modelled their Institutions
much after ours. The Argentine Republic
had offered subsidy for direct and regular
steamship communication with the United
states such was the anxiety for closer rela-
nons with the United States With this great
commerce almost at our doors and the people
well disposed to increase their commercial
relations with us the question arose how
would Subsidies 10 steamship lines aid in
establishing larger commercial relations In
the nrst place there was no case in which any
European countries had built up its foreign
trade without subsidies. All those countries
recognized the necessity of regular, frequent
selling goods and parties buing ythem As
business became greater in bulk and more
regular subsidies were reduced, but Mr.. Hale
knew OF no case in which the business was
not first built up bv subs des.
MIR. Hale quoted figures to show that Eng
land sold the South and Central American
countries five or six times much as they
sold to her, and asserted that the money
England got in payment for her goods was
that which the United States paid the people
OF Central and South America for large
balance of trade against us IN our dealings
with those countries. He knew the word
'subsidy" was not held in favor by many,
but the great question was, should we make
this first step or do nothing.
After lengthy remarks from Mesrrs. Me-
Pherson, Plumb and Brown Mr.. Plumb Sc
cured an understanding that the general de-
bate on the bill should close Monday at four
o'clock.
After skirmishing to secure an executive
session and also to secure a session tomorrow
the Senate at o'clock adjourned until
Monday
Mr.. Hatch called up the bill creating de-
partment of agriculture, and the House pro-
ceeded to its consideration IN a committee of
the whole, but the morning hour expired
pending the controversy as to the limitation
to be placed on the debate.
The House then went into a committee of
the whole on the river and harbor appropria-
ton bill
Mr.. Warner of Ohio offered an amendment
providing that the appropriation for the i'm
provement of the Mississippi river shall be
expended under the direction of the secretary
of war instead of the Mississippi river com

Are undoubtedly the best in which to purify
the blood and strengthen the system, because
at this time the body is most susceptible to
the beneficial effects of reliable medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparilla. The feeling of de-
bility, languor, and lassitude, caused by the
changing season, is entirely overcome, and
scrofnla and all humors are expelled from the

Newton Republican seems to think
that there is no necessity for another
federal court district in Kansas. which
shows that the editor of the Repno!i-
can either don't know what he is talk
ING about or that he has some preJu-
dice in the matter. To say nothing OF
the increased business which will arise
in the territory south of the Arkansas
river and west of Wichita, and into
which territory over one hundred
thousand people have gone within a
wear. the docket of the Wichita court
is so crowded now as to leave no hope
of ever being cleared until extra and
longer terms of court can be provided
for. Therefore our senators and rep
resentatives will be asked, probably
not by Newton, but by the legal fra
ternity of fifty or sixty counties IN
southern Kansas, 10 favor such a
division TO the end that more courts
are provided. As the expense of such
courts cost Kansas nothing directly
we fail to see any reasonable grounds
for the objections which we have twice
noted in the Republican.

POOP KANSAS CITY.

Some ten days ago the directors OF
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Pau
met in New York. The Armours
were present, including oleginaco
Phil, who thinks Kansas City and the
Armour's packing houses the two big
gest things in America. Our readers
will remember that Phil. said to the
Wichita delegation, that Kansas City
was the biggest thing in the west, and
that he proposed TO run the Chicago
Milwaukee and St. Paul TO Fansas
City this very year, and if Wichita
wanted to ship over his line, that she
must meet his road at his packing
house in Kansas City. 1t is now init
mated that the meeting in New York
developed the fact that clustering Phil
had been talking too much. The other
directors of the st. Paul it seems, do
not own any packing houses at the
Kaw's mouth, and they can't see any
sense in running their road into
town where the cost of the terminal
facilities, would cost more hard
cash than TO build line half the way
across the state of Kansas.
We await the Developments from
the New York meeting but we gravely
suspicion that not only Mr.. Armour,
but that the Windy-Wonder's scheme
has been sat down on.

THE NEW SENATE CHAMBER.

The Kansas City Times is setting
I'd an unseemly howl over the cost
and magnificence of the senate cham
Der in the Kansas Capitol, as though
it concerned that Missouri paper or
it's town. For a town which draws
all of its support from, but contribu-
ties nothing, towards the expenses or
prosperity of Kansas, the Kansas City
papers and her people make them
selves almighty fresh. They have
been trying to run Kansas for years,
debating its policies largely through
the influence they welded over poll
ticians residing in counties bordering
on Missouri, but we guess that game
has about closed. They may continue
10 supply few adjoining counties
with groceries and whisky, but the
new Kansas will hardly draw its in
spiration from any such conservative
and rusty source. The new trunk
lines from Chicago which are prepar-
ing to invade Kansas in response TO
the influential wave started by the
EAGLE year ago and reinforced
daily since, will soon relieve even many
border counties from running to OF
patronizing people who are SO free
with their advice but so close with
their money. A few men no doubt
will be found in the legislature who
vet fear the racket of the Kansas City
papers, but we guess the majority
will not even design to notice the
Times call for an investigation.

busy. One firm is packing about five
hundred head of hogs. They have
paid upwards of $3.50 per hundred
in some instances.
Our stock buyers shipped eight car
loads OF cattle to-day. 1t seems that
the farmers are selling the cattle they
have been feeding earlier in the season

cyclone struck the northern part oil
this county Yesterday and swept
away a portion of the town of Meri-
den. About 10 o'clock in the morn
ing a very black cloud came up
suddenly from the southeast and
sweeping through the eastern por-
ton of the town and did its work in
almost a moment. A large number
Of buildings were DESTROYED. The
residence occupied by J. l.. Hartell
and family of five, was lifted from
the ground aud carried a distance OF

injured and will not live, but with
this exception the family escaped.
Eighteen or twenty people were
more or less injured. r. J. MeKid-
den was picked from the sidewalk
and carried into the air about 20 feet
and thrown against a wire fence.

SALT LAKE Cry, U. T., May IA
Governor West went 20 the Peniten-
tiary yesterday to talk with the
polygamous convicts there. He ask
ed If they would be willing to prom
Use obedience to the laws il he would
use his influence to have clemency
extended to them. Apostle Lorenzo
Snow said be would not. He had
no confidence in Judge Zane or
United States Attorney Dickson,
whatever he might have in Cover
nor West.
The Governor said to Snow that
he had no right to talk that way.
The officers had no malice. bnt were
all kindness. They were but doing
their duty, and would join him in
asking the ciemency ofthe President
for them ifthey would submit to the
laws and urge others to do SO. Snow
said he did not blame Judge Zane
and Attorney Dickson any morethan
he did those who prosecuted Christ
and the early Christians, but I'VE
are following the airect command Of
God and cannot give way to the law
of man."
Governor West considers that
this leaves not a leg for the Nor.
mems TO stand upon IN their claim
of persecution that President Cleve'
land would probably have listened
to recommendation for clemency, but
that the Mormans leave no oppor-
tunity for its exercise.
