WASHINGTON, January Is; in the
House to-day, Hatch, of Missouri, re-
ported a bill making an appropriation
to carry into effect the act to establish
experimental agricultural stations.
The bill relating to permissible
marks of writing or printing, on
second, third and fourth class matter
in the mails was taken up and passed,
and the house went into committee of
the whole, Hatch, OF Missouri, in the
chair, on the private calendar. One
private bill passed and the committee
rose.
Mills, of Texas, then moved an adj
journment until Monday, which was
lost.
Morrow, of California, from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, re-
ported joint resolution appropri-
ating $50, 1000 to enable the Govern
ment to participate in the International
Exhibition to be held at Melbourne
in April, 1888. Referred to the COM
mittee of the whole.
CONTESTED CASES.
The assignment Of the hearings OF
the election cases was made to-day,
and the contests OF Sullivan and Eel
ton and Lynch and Vandever are at
the foot of the list and probably will
not be settled until late in the ses-
sion.
Crisp, of Georgia, Chairman of the
Committee on Elections, presented a
report upon the case of A. E. Red
stone, claiming to be elected to Con-
gress from the Fifth California Dis
trict. The House Calendar Commit
tee finds that as Redstone served no
notice or contest and filed no evil
dence, there is not sufficient founda-
ton to warrant contest.
ADJOURNMENT AGAIN ADVOCATED.
Hatch rising said that in view O!
the fact that Mills had stated tc
several gentlemen that there would be
no session tomorrow he would like
the vote by which the house had re-
fused to adjourn over reconsidered
but Mills interposed an objection ant
again submitted motion to adjourn
until Monday amid derisive laughte,
from the Republicans. This time Mill,
was successful, Hatch himself votin.
in the affirmative, and the motion wal
carried, yeas 1l5, nays 1O3. TIT

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERAIpf
SAN Francisco, January 13.-The
Chinese mails arriving by steamer
Gaelic to-day, have little news on the
Corean matter, or treaty with Por-
tugal.
The Daily Press says that the state
ment made by Tientsen correspon-
dent of the Shanghai Mercury, that
the Hongkong and Shanghai bank
has concluded a loan with the Chi
nese Government for 5000, 900 taels
is not correct as no such loan has
been negotiated.
Another paper says that the EN-
peror rejected the loan which the
Chinese Government had negotiated
with the Hongkong and Shanghai
bank for the purpose of repairing the
banks OF the Yellow river, on the
ground that the sum of 2 900 900 taels
which had been raised by China was
itself sufficient for the purpse.
SUBMISSIVE SERVANT.
Advices state that previous to the
sailing of the Corean embassy to the
United States the King of Corea had
received Geographic instructions from
the Emperor Of China, conveying q
decree stating that ENJOYS to Western
States must first ask for instruc-
tions, and they will be allowed
to 60 after the consent
is received, which will then be
in accordance with what is proper for
a dependent state. The King, on re-
ceipt of the Emperor's edict, prepared
a memorial, wherein, after acknow-
Lodging China g suzerainty over Corea,
he recites the facts that special per-
mission was granted in the first in
stance to enter into a treaty with
America that afterwards several other
nations of the west had con-
Guided treaties on the basis of
the former, and that the Kings
little State, anxiously considering the
situation and DESTROYS of keeping the
treaties, had nominated PAX Chen
Yang to be plenipotentiary, and to
proceed as envoy to the United States
and Che Chyenhi, plenipotentiary
and to proceed to take his residence
in the five countries of England,
France, Germany, Italy and Russia.
THE KING THEN BEGGED
Further instructions and permission
for the vassal ENJOYS to proceed on
their way in order to fulfill the objects
OF their missions, and to be in accord
ance with the original treaties. That he
did not wait for the permission asked
is shown by the fact that on the after
noon of December 10th, a Chinese
fleet of seven vessels arrived at
Chemulpo, under command of Admit
raj Ting, just seven hours too late to
offer resistance to the exit of the mis-
sion to United States.
Jho Sin Hwei, dignitary of the
third rank, is now in possession of a
royal warrant to proceed as Ambassa-
dor to the courts of Europe. He has
just sailed from Chemulpo. No prep
arations have yet been made for dis
patch of tribute 10 China. The EN-
bassy to China usually starts overland
for Pekin early in December.

The first issue of the DAILY ARGUS
made its appearance July. 10. 1864, as an
evening paper. 1t was the first daily
published in Rock Island or within one
hundred miles of here. 1t was published
as an evening paper until December II,
1866, when il was changed to a morning
paper and continued as such until Mo-
vember IS. 1861, when it returned to an
evening paper and has continued so
since. During the ownership OF Persh>
ing & Connolly on July IS, 1859, the
daily was suspended and weekly
issued. This was continued until Sep
TENDER /, 1861, when the publication OF
the daily was resumed and after the en-,

again recommended and has been con,

But such a sketch as this would be in

gratitude to the citizens of Rock Island
