was then agreed to, after protest by
Vest that it would commit the Govern
ment absolutely to the construction OF
the canal.
Senators German and Beck denied that
it did so, and Allison declined to COM
NIT himself one way or the other. The
last amendment to be acted upon was
the insertion of provision abolishing
the Missouri River Commission.
Vest spoke of the utter decay of the
commerce Of rivers and canals, there be-
ing not single steamboat on the Mis-
souri, river between Kansas City and st.
Louis. That was something beyond the
power of Congress to prevent, because
time was great element in commerce:
He recognized, however, that canals and
rivers were immeasurably valuable fac.
tors in checking the exorbitant rates OF
railroads. and therefore he favored them.
The amendment was agreed to.
The bill and amendments were report
ed from the Committee of the two Houses
to the Senate, and the amendments on
which separate votes were not asked were
agreed to. Separate votes were demand
ed on the Hennepin Canal amendment; /;
the amendment abolishing the Missouri
River Commission, and the amendment
for the purpose of the improvement Of
the Green and Barren rivers in Kentucky ;
but there being no quorum present, no
| further progress was made with the bill
and the Senate proceeded to executive
business.
After the doors were reopened the con-
ference report on the Diplomatic and
Consular Appropriation bills was pre-
sented and agreed to. The only question
between the two houses had been the
Senate amendment for the appointment
of committee to visit and report upon
the Upper Congo basin. The result ol
the conference is q substitute for the
amendment appropriating $4,000 for the
salary and expenses OF the commercial
agent at Bona, in the Lower Congo
basin, with authority to visit and report
upon the commercial resources of the
Upper Congo basin, and it's openings fol
trade with the United States.
| Bills from the calendar we're taken up
ard passed as follows: Senate bill appro
priating $l5, 900 for wharf in Astoria,
Oregon, for the use of a light house es
tablishment; Senate bill appropriatins
$50, 900 for light house on the headlandi
near the mouth of the Umpqua River

There were also thirty-four private bill

JUNE REAL ESTA TIE.
The Course OF the Market With
Comparisons.

The Course OF the Market With
Comparisons.
The real estate business as represented
by the figures furnished by the Record
er's Office, for the month of June, shows
a total Of 1921 ,6S3, and for the first
half of the year of $50, ,427 ,545. If the
figures, as given below, be studied, it
will be observed that the sales this year
have been steady. There has been no
sudden start upward or no downward,
but the business has kept on with an
evenness which speaks we'll for the fu-
ture. The number of transfers for nom
inal considerations was much larger this
year than last in the same month, and
there is reason to believe that if the real
value of these transfers were known, the
total for last month would exceed that of
June in 1887. The sales during the past
month were as follows:

LATER news from Pittsburgh is to the
effect that the recalcitrant mill owners
have had to come to terms and sign the
old scale of wages as demanded by the
men. Now, what did the mills do, and
what did our great tariff for taxation

the soul out of labor in order to create
apprehension and hard times and thus
elect the Pro-Chinese Harrison to the
Presidency will not work.

The San Francisco Evening Post says
that the feeling that Harrison is not a
strong candidate for California is not an
unmixed evil, and it adds that this will
prevent the putting of Republican thieves

ticket the Chicago Convention will have
builded wiser than it knew.

Yesterday we sent a private telegram
to Chicago to gentleman whom we
have known for years-a prominent man
in business, the head Of a large manu-
featuring company, employing a capital
of $2,500, 900; staunch Republican. a
high tariff man, man of sound judg-
ment. an able man, and man of affairs,
Our telegram read as follows: "What is
your opinion Of the chances Of electing
Harrison ?''
His answer was received to-day, and is
as follows:
"Chances are considered about even.
It is thought that some doubtful Eastern
States may be carried; also Indiana. l
think the chances of winning, however,
extremely doubtful"
This opinion, coming as it does, from
man who has every advantage Of know
ing the inside current of affairs, has
great weight with us, but we give it to
our readers without further comment.

WE ARE now treated by the Republican
press to the statement that the Chinese
and Labor issues are of no great impor-
lance and that the whole issue of the
campaign turns upon protection. The
people will have something to say
about that. Harrison's record is indeed a
heavy load to carry when his followers
are obliged to ignore the two dominant
ideas of the Pacific Coast.

tM6 SC0Aes
PIrTsBuRa, June 3O.-Oliver Brothers
& Phillips, the largest firm in the city,
mills will continue in operation. The
Amalgamated people are jubilant over
the break, which is most important
one. The firm employs over 5000 men
and is one Of the largest in
this city. D. B. Oliver in an
interview tonight stated that they
were forced to sign the scale on account
of contracts that had to be filled. He
absented himself from the final confer
ence because he did not want to make
any promises he could not keep. It is
probable the firm will be expelled from
the Manufacturers Association. The
strikers claim several other firms will
sign the scale next week, and that among
the number will be Carnegie, Phipps &
Co.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The House
opened this morning with Speaker Car
Isle in the chair. The bill for the pay
ment of Fourth Of July claims was taken
up and passed. The House then went
into Committee of the Whole on the
Tariff bill. The motion of Breckin-
ridge, of Arkansas, to increase the rate
of duty on faxseed and linseed oil from
10 to Is cents per gallon was agreed to.
Breckinridge then offered an amend
ment increasing from 4 to cents per
pound the duty on licorice paste or rolls.
Agreed to.
On motion of Breckinridge an amend
ment was adopted fixing the duty on
licorice juice at 35 per cent. ad valorens,
instead of 25 per cent. ad ualorem.
Dingley, of Maine, moved to reduce
the duty on bi-chromate of potash from
~ cents to one cent per pound; re-
jected.
After considerable debate Farquhar's
amendment increasing the duty on ace
tate of lead, white lead, orange mineral
and red lead was rejected.
The China section was passed over in
formally to be hereafter reverted to.
On motion of Bynum, of Indiana, the
duty on glazed or enameled tiles was re-
duced from so to As per cent. ad ualorem,,
Notwithstanding the earnest protests of
Buchanan and Lehlbach, of New Jersey.
After disposing of four pages of the
bill, the Committee rose and the House
adjourned.

The Wealth Of the Queen.

There was rumor afoat in London to the
effect that an increased allowance would be
asked for on behalf OF the Prince of Wales and
his family during the autumn session. If it
proves true, the proposal viii undoubtedly
receive several black eyes. Economists
argue that there is no call for this additional
expense. The queen has an annuity drawn
from the consolidated fund of 1872, 600.
which is especially allotted to meet those ex-
penses connected with her high position. the
partial weight Of which has been transferred
to the heir apparent. But that is only por-
ton of the enormous income which good for
tune and frugal habits have placed at the dis
posal Of tho head Of the royal family The
new Domesday book dscloses the fact that
the queens private estates extend over 81
373 acres, the annual rental, even at the
lately deprecated prices, being S130,655
Some years ago her majesty, acting under
the advice Of Lord Sydney, purchased the
Claremont estate for the sum Of $500, 600, es-
tiIuated at the time as being little over half
its market value. II Is said to be worth
today at least $4,000.
The queen also possesses property at Co
burg and the Villa Hohenlohe at Baden. As
to personal property, there was the bequest
Of quarter Of a million left to her majesty
by Sir James Camden Neild. This will was
proved in 1852, and the bequest must now
have reached magnificent proportions Then
there was the property left by the prince
consort, estimated TO have reached nearly
5000, 600, but as this viii was never proved
and so escaped probate duty, tho exact
amount is not known. These items are over
and above the queens annual savings. The
aggregate money sum at her majsssy's dis
posal for family purposes would hence ap-
pear TO be. at the lowest computation, such
as renders unnecessary national solicitude on
the subject. The Prince of Wales viii

be for no aggressive movement put merely
a precautionary measure. The rumor that
the French government was considering

also revived and helped to strengthen the
market. But on the other hand came news
that more mills had shut down in the
