THE HOUSE.
The Represen tatives Wrestling
With Appropriation Measures.

hc ncpIcScn tatlVeS wEeStIIn&
With Appropriation Measures.
WASHINGTON, September 1O.-The cen
ference report on the Fortifcations Ap-
preparation bill was adopted.
The bill authorizing the Postmaster
General to purchase improved mail locks
and keys was passed.
Several bills were introduced, includ-
ing one by Henderson, of North Carolina,
to check and nullfy the baneful oper-
alton of trusts.
After the introduction OF number of
bills, the House resumed consideration
of the conference report on the Sundry
Civil Appropriation bill. The pending
Senate amendment was that for an ap-
preparation of $z50,0 for the purpose
of investigating the extent to which the
arid regions of the United States can be
redeemed by irrigation, and reserving as
the property of the United States all
lands which may be designate for reser-
voirs and canals for irrigation. The
pending motion was that made by
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, to concur in
the amendment, with an amendment re-
serving from sale or entry, until other
wise provided, all lands made suscepti-
BILE to irrigation.
The importance of the reclamation of
arid lands was earnestly urged by Symes,
of Colorado, and Vandever, of Cali
fornia.
Forney, of Alabama, protested against
the Government entering upon project
which would result in the expenditure of
the sum of 1860, ,000, 900.
Bacon, of New York, took advantage
of the debate to deliver speech on the
subject of trusts.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Marsh, Of Pennsylvania, reported the
conference report on the Army Appropri-
alton bill. 1t was agreed upon.
The Sundry Civil Appropriation bill
was then taken up and after discussion
of the arid land amendment, the House
adjourned.

without evincing the slightest emotion or
sign of impatience, as Mitchell applied
these uncomplimentary remarks to him.
SHERMAN PLEADS THE CAUSE OF CHINA.
After Mitchell had taken his seat, the
House Retaliation bill was presented and
referred to the Committee ON Foreign
sent to have the Chinese Exclusion bill
made motion to that effect, and it was
carried and the dill taken up.
Sherman addressed the Senate in ia
vor of Blair's motion to reconsider the
vote by which the bill was passed. He
appealed to the Senators on both sides,
from consideration of the Nations honor,
to allow the bill to stand in its present
position until it could be definitely as
certained whether the treaty had been or
would be ratified. Pending that aues-
ton he submitted, as mat
ter of National honor, whether it
was right and proper for Congress to
nullify the treaty now pending between
the two Nations. If the relative positions
were reserved, and if Great Britain were
to act toward the United States, as the
bill proposed to act toward China, he
would without hesitation, vote for
declaration of war. The proposition
was departure from all the usages of a
civilized Nation, and a departure from
the point Of National honor. If the
United States violated or abrogated any
portion of a treaty, that act became law
of the Nation, and the abrogation
of all treaties with that country,
and the Chinese Government might at
once according to the rules of civilized
Nations, declare all those treaties
null and void. There was no question
about that. 1t had already excited the
conservative mind of the people of the
United States. They had not gone crazy
on the question and they did not want
anything done to China that would not
be done to any other country. Was it
wise, he asked, for the United States to
put itself in position in which the
Chinese Government might properly put
an end entirely to all treat and CONNER.
cial relations with that great country.
The gentlemen from the Pacific Coast
ought to remember that the Coast States
were but part of this country land while
the Senators were willing to adopt ex-
treme measures for the exclusion of the
Chinese race, still they must insist as
representatives of a lawabiding people,
that this must be done in an orderly
manner, and that no unusual course
must be taken in dealing with China.
Without action on the bill the Senate
adjourned.
STRUCK FROM THE RECORD.
WASHINGTON, September 10. - The
heated, unparliamentary and personal
expressions used in the debate by Sena-
tors Morgan and Mitchell to-day, have,
upon reflection and upon the counsel of
mutual friends, been struck from the
Congressional Record.

BEN BUTLER of strabismic vision, and
New Orleans repute, was for tariff reform
in 1884; and then the high. principled
Republican press patted the political
voltigueur on the back-because he was
running to catch votes and defeat Cleve-
land. This year Ben squints with mental
obliquity TO the side OF high-tariff-a wal
necessity kept up twenty years after the
war is overland the same press with the
same high principles pat the same back
for the same reason. Ben is good Repub-
lican. He cares not straw for principle,
but is a practical politician" with an
eye squirting to results. But who cares

REPUBLICAN papers say that the sur
plus has ceased to exist. The extrava-
gance of Congress did much to make this
so; but even the unparalleled extrava-
gance of the Republican Senate has not
succeeded in "blowing in" the enormous
aggregations of the war tariff. The latest
Treasury exhibits at hand are those for
August. At the end OF that month the sur
plus was over a million dollars. 1t
increased by $3,047,077 during the
month of July.

Ben Harrison's blood is thin and old,
1t has stood SO long 1t is gettiny cold,
But its color is the true old blue,
The real aristOcratical hue;
So, workingmen, get down in the mud,
And take off your hats to Ben Blueblood
CHORUS.
He sits in the top of his Family tree,
Where it's just as cold as cold can be;
And the workingmen can't get near Ben
So tall is his family tree.
Dear me o
So tall is his family tree.
Come poor plain folks and throw up YOU
hats,
And vote for the gem of aristocrats:
OF course he cares not a rap for YOU
But you won't mind that for his blood il
blue.
Few folks are born OF patrician birth,
And these that are, should inherit the earth
No need to ask what his talents are,
A President was his grandpapa;
No need to inquire what he can do,
His grandsire fought at TippecanOe;
All men whose grandads were obscure
Should vote for him, for he h ad one sure.
He's on the good old plan, you see,
A candidate of high degree;
No vulgar person, no son OF the soil
Is he, no child of want and toll;
SO come up, come up, ye common men,
And put in vote for Blueblood Ben.
CHORUS.
He sits on the top of his family tree,
Where it's just as cold as cold can be-
And the workingnen can't get near Ben,
So tall is his family tree;

Indiana Against Harrison.

One of the officers of Labor Union
OF this city has just returned from the
East. During his trip he visited Indiana
and the Labor Unions there, and he says
that he is certain that Indiana will go
Democratic this year. The Labor Unions
have taken up sides against Harrison,
and have even gone SO far as to introduce
politics into their organizations for the
purpose of defeating Harrison. The
whole Labor element in that State is in
arms against Harrison, and after looking
over the field he says that he don't think
there is the least doubt about that State.
1t will give large Democratic majority.

Mr.. James Gillespie Blaine entertains
a great love for the Irish. He started out
early in life to demonstrate this by re-
nouncing the religious teachings of his
Irish mother, and he has since given
many other signal tokens of his affection
in that regard. The last was when he
was in Europe, from which he has lately
returned. He refused to dine with the
Lord Mayor Of Dublin, and he spent just
three days in Ireland as against four hun
dred and twenty chiefly in England and
Scotland. The three days in Ireland were
passed in travelling, and because by pass
ing through that beautiful but unhappy
land for whose sons he has such admira-
ton and true friendship, was a ''near
CUT to take the steamer. Whatever part
of his heart is not taken up with his de-
votion to trusts and war taxes, is sacred
ly given over as shrine in which to
worship the manly virtues and martial
courage of Irish American voters.-[N. Y.

LONDON, September 1O.--The Chronicle

question from the letter of acceptance of
President Cleveland is strong testimony
as to the purely facetious character of
the rejection of the treaty. 1t is impos-

President Cleveland would mean the
eventful revival and ratification of the
treaty. 1t is immaterial to discuss what
the President Cleveland crusade should
be called. He may give it any name he

CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
Max Zetosoh Breaks the DUAL
Eating Record

Yesterday noon Mr.. Max Zetdsch
quietly disposed of three stewed q,lails
and thereby won bet Of 5000 aud
won, 20 far as can be learned, the
champ p,onship of the world rs quail
eater. In the afternoon IL reporter
called upon Mr.. Zetosch ut his lace
OF business and interviewed him in
regard to the ordeal through which he
has passed. The champion talked
modestly and recounted how he
happened to make the bet. He was
in the Milwaukee beer saloon and hap
pened 10 approach table at which n
gentleman WAS sitting eating quail,
and rxpatiating upon the. delicious
flavor OF the birds, asserting that he
could eat doze of them. Xetosh
heard the last remark aud seeing the
insignificant size of the dainty NOR
sci. Of flesh, ventured II statement
that ne could get away with twenty OF
them hereupon the man at the
table offered to bet him 800 to $50
that he could not eat three of the birds
II day for thirty days. The bet was
promptly taken and then others
offered the same wager Of two to one
till 5000 was up that he would fail in
the attempt.
The next morning Zetosch started
in ON his self imposed task. At that
time l,e was in good condition and
weighed one hundred and fifty pounds.
The terms of the wager allowed him
to have his birds cooked in different
styles and he took advantage of this
privilege, I ough most Of the time he
took them stewed. Not once dur
ing the thirty days did he feel any bad
effects from his quail diet nor was he
obliged TO take any form of medicine.
HIS appetite continued excellent, and
besides his regular meals of the birds
he ate two hearty lunches day. On
weighing yesterday he found he had
gained fonr pounds during the trying
ordeal. He feels perfectly well and is
confident that he could stand the diet
for fifteen days longer. He intends
to visit New Yorl; soon and will at
tempt u repeat the feat there if he
can get enough money gered to
make profitable, and it would take
~ good deal more than 5000 to induce
him to go throu. n the experience
again.
The gentlemen with whom Zetosch
made the wager are much disgusted
at the apparent ease with which he
won, but have to acknowledge that he
won the contest fairly.
1t is cl,imed that the best previous
record is two quail II day for thirt'
days, and that the man who made il
was allowed to use persine to aid his
diges tive apparatus. Ii this Is the
cose Ietosch has won the ch .mpion-
ship Of the world.

The Fugitive Conroy.

The following clipping from the
Spangle Rec cord gives the. particula. =
of the escape of Conroy:
"On Monday of this week Deputy
Sheriff Bob Callison, of Palouse City,
arrested man ut Spokane Falls by
the name of Dan Conroy, "a well-known
character along the line Of the S. d r..
and boarded the train with the inten-
ton of conveying his bird down to Pa
louse. Mr.. Callison evidently thought
his prisoner docle fellow and did not
shackle him. All went smoothly until
the train reached point about a
quarter of a mile this side of Marshall
when the prison.r stepped quickly out
of the car door and jumped off the
train without even having the polite
ness to- say good bye or wish the
sheriff pleasant trip. Upon arriving
here Mr.. .Callison took Constable
Spangle and returning in haste to the
scene OF the escape made thorough
search, but without avail. The prs
oner, Dan Conroy, is said to be u bad
pill, and was being taken to Pa'ouse
City on II charge of .ape, and if the
particulars as given us are correct he
is brute who deserves mighty little
mercy. Callison returned to Palouse
City Tuesday night considerably
chagrined at the result of his trip"
AS swas announced in yesterdays is
sue of the REVIEW, Officer Martin on
Wednesday saw Conroy at C9ur d.
Alene City. The fugitive at the time
had just got off locomotive,
and the moment he caught
sight of Martin, FASTENED TO
get out OF sight, evidently thinking
that the officer was after him. Martin
at once informed the city marshal of
the fact that the fugitive was close at
hand, at the same time mentioning
the crime for which he was wanted.
A search was at once instituted but
Conroy had secreted himself so that
no trace of him could be found, ard
probably by this time is far away. Be-
ing popular and we'll known among
railroad men the fugitive stands an
excellent chance of escaping.
While only one side of the story has
as yet been published, and it is claimed
by Cohroys friends that his ohense
was not as serious as charged, yet it is
almost certain that he played the
part of brute and deserves severe
punishment.
