Australia, was received yesterday by Secre-
tary Lelong of the State Board of Horti-
culture. 1t contained several parasites,
which destroy the white cottony cushion
scale-bug so destructive to frnit trees.
There were also in the box some of these
scales on which the parasites prey. Several
of the scales were dead and their bodies
perforated with tiny holes, where the para
sites had left after killing them This
method Of destroying the bug pest has not
yet been tried in California, and the in
tended experiment will Prove very inter
esting. The parasites received by Mr..
Lelong will be propsgated in Alameda,
and if successful in this climate and upon
the many pests as they bave been in Aus
trilia, immediate steps will be taken to
spread them over the Stase.-lS. r. Gail.

congressman aaYe Lively Tilt on the
Irish Question.
WASHINGTON, April 1Sth.-The House got
much worked up this afternoon over The
bill to create Board of Arbitration to set
tie labor disputes. A tilt occurred between
Tarsney of Michigan and E. b. Taylor.
The former had said that the way to aid
the laboring men was to pass the tariff
bill. Taylor said the Irish, who were always
complaining of British oppression, were too
ready to fight England's battles. They
were found lighting them in India, and he
feared there We're too many Irish here in
this country and in this House, deceived
by the cry of the Democracy and ready to
fight against our interests and in favor of
trade England.
Tarsney assumed that Taylor had said
there were too many Irish in this country,
and he made very vigorous reply, and for
a time therSswas much confusion.

lCopig, 1885, by the California issociateot Press.
New YORK, April 1Sth.-The hand OF

merchant who represents the mills in this
matter, said that he has contracted since
this demand began for probably 250,0O0
bags, at prices ranging from AZ cents each

(Copgfght. 1855, by The California Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 1Sth.-When the
Senate opened this morning there was a
great deal of private discussion among
the Republican Senators as to the propriety
of adiourning out of respect to the memory
of Mr.. Conkling, but it was decided not to
adjourn, because it would set bad pre-
cedent.
There are about 100 ex-Senators living,
and if the Senate should adjourn on the
occasion of the death of every one of these,
it might be called upon to adjourn for all.
Conkling was opposed to the adjournment
of either House of Congress on the occasion
of the death of a member. AS he expressed
it, it was doubtful method of decorating
the memory of the dead.

The Behring Sea Matter the Subject of
Diplomatic Negotiations.

Copyright, 1885, by the California associated Press.i
WASHINGTON, April 1Sth.-The news has
come from London that negotiations relat-
ing to the seal fisheries are proceeding
there. The Russian Ambassador, Baron
De Staal; Acting American Minister, Hen
ry White, and the British Premier, Lord
Salisbury, have already held conference
on the subject.
What has actually been done thus far in
our diplomacy is to separate the two SUBJ
jects of contention, and to agree on a treaty
in regard to the mackerel fishery. That
having been done, the Behring Sea
question now comes up solely on its own
merits, and not as the possible basis of a
compromise in connection with other dis
putes.

WASHINGTON, April 1Sth.-The Elections
Committee met this morning to consider
the Lynch-Vandever contested case, but
owing 10 the illness of the Chairman, the

in the Frank Glover contest, it is likely
that there will be unanimous report in
Vandever's favor. All that may prevent
