THE HOUSE.
Discussion Oh the Union Pacific
Railroads Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-Brown,
from the Committee on Commerce,
reported a bill for the establishment
Of quarantine station at San Fran
cisco. The Committee Of the whole
took it in consideration.
At the morning hour the discussion
was resumed upon the Union Pacific
Railroad Funding bill. The measure
was opposed by Anderson, of Iowa,
who said the career Of the Pacific
railroad companies had been criminal
and that they had robbed the Treas
ury OF hundreds of millions of dollars.
In reference to the Union Pacific he
declared that SO far from being under
a new management, the direction of
the road to-day was in the hands of
and controlled by the old Credit
Mobilier gang.
Dalzell, OF Pennsylvania, advocated
the passage of the bill. He said the
problem was, how to collect the Gov
ernment debt and at the same time
punish those who were deserving OF
punishment. Referring to the Credit
Mobilier scandal, he denied that the
men who controlled the Union Pa
cafic at that time, we're the same who
controlled it to-day. The passage of
the bill would bring into the Treas
ury of the United States a sum
amounting to $110,000,000. He
could not be persuaded that the in
telligent masses of this country would
not visit with condign punishment
the members Of Congress, Who, with
such a glittering possibility within
their reach, would sacrifice it to q
fanciful vindications of public justice
at the expense of the public purse.
The morning hour having expired,
tho bill went upon the calendar as un-
finished business, and the House pro-
ceeded to consideration of the bills
reported by the Committee on Private
Land Claims.
Several Private Land Measures were
passed and the House went into Com
mittee of the Whole upon the bill to
establish United States Land Court,
and to provide for judicial settle
ment of private land claims in Arizo-
ma, New Mexico and Colorado. Nc
Creery of Kentucky, Joseph of New
Mexico, and Symes of Colorado favor
ed the measure, and Smith of Arizona
and Payson Of Illinois opposed it.
Pending further discussion the COM
mittee rose.
A bill was reported and placed on
the calendar for the erection Of pub
lie building at Saginaw, Michigan.
Blanchard reported his River and
Harbor Appropriation bill, and it was
referred to the Committee Of the
Whole

Base Ball.

STOCKTON, March 3l.-The league
base ball game Advertised here to-day
between the Haverlys and Stocktons,
and to-morrow's game here between
the Haverlys and Pioneers are post
poned, on account of the heavy rain.
These games will be played later in
the week. The Stocktons leave early
in the morning to play the Green
hood and Morans III San Francisco
tomorrow.
SAN Francisco, March 31.-The
Pioneers were in good form to-day,
and in great measure redeemed
themselves for the poor work last
Sunday. Purcell was in the box, and
pitched very good game in holding
his opponents down to seven hits and
retiring eleven on strikes. The sup
port rendered him was excellent
throughout. Borchers made an at
tept to pitch for the Greenhood
& Moran's but made failure
OF the undertaking. He seemed JIM
bued with the idea that he had to
strike out every batsman who forced
him and in endeavoring to do SO not
only sacrificed himself, but car
ried his club to defeat also. Done
van played exceptionally we'll in right
field, but outside OF this there was
no playing done worthy of mention.
The score was IL to 3 in favor Of the
Pioneers.

yfOr the Wool Growers.
LOUISVILLE, March 81. "A Courier
Journal Washington special says
"The report of the Minority Ways
and Means Committee, drawn up by
Mckinley against the passage of the
Mills bill, attacks vigorously the free
list and vehemently denounces free
wool and free tin plate. It says re-
garding wool that the first effort in
the direction of free trade is aimed at
the organized farmers of the country,
who far-removed from the centers of
trade and unadvised that their interests
were to be dealt an unfriendly
blow, are to be the first victims of the
British policy. Theirs is large in
terest. few in the country are larger.
Free wool will be of no permanent
benefit to the manufacturer or the
consumer, but the positive loss to both
and great loss to the flock masters
and those depending upon them for
employment. The decay of sheep
husbandry in the United States wou
be national calamity. The report
asserts that the great business inter
ests of the country, 80 largely repre-
sented by manufacturers, were treat
ed with silent contempt, and over the
earnest protest of the minority these
interests were not as much as allowed
the right of petition guaranteed te ev-
cry American citizen.

r. Bachman, steward, of the British
bark Brussels, which was damaged
to the extent of about ten thousand
dollars by fire on the night of March
9th, have been arrested on the charge
of being implicated in the attempt to
burn the vessel. Underwriters and
detectives have been working on the
case recently, and sufficient evidence
was obtained to lead to the arrest
of the men. The prisoners have made
statement of the affair, but their
stories are very conflicting. Baclman
acknowledged be set fire to the vessel,
and says the mate was concerned in
the plot; the latter denies he had
anything to do with the burning, but
says Bachman fred the vessel for the
purpose of informing the underwriters
that the captain did it., and then

Force Freight ON other Roads
CHICAGO, March 31.-Strike follow
ing strike in rapid succession was the
result to-day ofthe Burlington roads
first attempt to resume forcing freight
on other roads. Almost at the very
outset$he strike occurred on the Fort
Wayne system, involving for the first
time the undoubted tension of the
trouble to roads leading East
from Chicago. The St. Paul road
had been completely tied between
midnight and daylight, and Chairman
Hoge, leader of the Brotherhood in
the absence OF Chief Arthur, intimated
early that before another midnight
there might be precipitated a success
sion of strikes unparalleled in the
city. One on the Panhandle occurred
as early as 7 A. NJ, but was overcome
by the officials showing that no work
men had been asked to handle Bur
lington cars.

BERLIN, March 31.-The Emperor
slept eight hours last night almo6t
without break. His official work
to-day was unusually prolonged. Il
the afternoon he took drive LASTING
an hour, and was received with
enthusiasm and ringing hurrahs along
the route. The weather was ex-
tremely mild. The carriage was
driven slowly. The Emperor seemed
to look well, the only trace of his i'll
ness being his waxy complexion.
Despite the semblance of health and
increased vital power, the German
experts opinion that the disease will
have an early and fatal effect is still
unaltered.
POLITICAL AFFAIRS.
The Progsressist hopes for speedy
introduction of liberal reforms under
Emperor Frederick. Though chilled
by Bismarckian tone his proclamar
nation has been revised by the pros
pect of the prolongation of his life. The
conservative papers saytheP Proggressi0t
programme overlooks the permanent
physical disability OF the Emperor,
and the fact that at the last council Of
Ministers and other high officers Of
State, after Bismarck had stated for
mally his home and foreign policy, the
Emperor intimated an entire acquie-
scence and complete confidence in the
great Minister.
TROUBLE WITH FRANCE APPREHENDRD.
The sudden changes in the position
OF the French political parties has re-
awakened the apprehensions for the
immediate future. Boulanger is now
felt to be no spectral shadow but .
substantial force, threatening the peace
OF Europe. If the dissolution of the
Chamber of Deputies produces =
strong Boulanger party it will bo
taken here as equivalent to a popular
vote for war, and the convenience of
the French. to begin it will not be
awaited.
NO SYMPATHY WITH BOULANGER.
The entire press of the country
realizes the danger OF the position.
The National Ziertung hopes the
Chamber Of Deputies will yet find =
way to save the State from the war
party, but despairs Of the Republic
unless President Carnot can obtain
a strong ministry, having q pro-
gramme Of peace. No paper in Ger
many or Austria, however radical,
has the slightest sympathy with the
BoulaDger movement. The temporary
audience OF the German people in the
Russian peace protests is vanishing.
Authoritative dispatches pronounce
Russian action imminent.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The DEM
ocratic Senators held caucus this
morning to consider plan OF action
in regard to the pending Bond bill.
Senator Beck presided and Senator
Faulkner, in the absence of Senator
Kenna, acted, as secretary. A quorum
did not assemble until half past eleven,
and there was not sufficient time be-
fore the assembling of the Senate in
which to accomplish the purpose of
the caucus. The Stewart amendment
to the Bond bill seemed to find favor
as a general thing, though it was
thought thatsome amendments would
be necessary to perfect it. Senator
Mcpherson opposed it in vigorous
speech. 1t was determined to hold
another caucus at 10 o'clock Monday
morning.

JAPAN REACHES OUT.
New Steamship COmpany-P Pro-
posed Treaty With Mexico.

pOse0 treaty Wlt0 McX1cOs
SAN FRANCISCO, March 3l.-A pro-
posed line Of Japanese steamers be-
tween Yokohama and Mexico, by a
syndicate known as the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha, is the subject Of numerous
articles in the Japanese papers. The
Japan Gazette of March 18th treating
of the matter says: "We believe the
negotiations 50 far from having proved
a failure may be said to have only be-
gum" The Maincha Shimbun, another
Yokohama journal, after mentioning
that Mr.. Talbot, the secretary
of the Nippon Yusen Kai-
sha, had been in negotiation
with the Mexican Pacific Navigation
Company, and had also interviewed
the President of the Republic, goes
on to say: "The Nippon Yusen Kaisha
is the largest steamship company in
Asia, being without rival so far as
its capital is concerned, and the
special support which is afforded it
by the Government is incomparably
great. Some years ago when the late
Mitzu Bishi Kaisha was actively en-
gagged in car ying trade between here
and China, it did not receive such a
large subsidy as the Yusen Kaisha is
now receiving. Nevertheless, beside
the line between Nagasaki and
Shanghai, it opened line of
steamers between Shanghai and
Hong Kong, entering into COM
petition with foreign steamers.
The present Nippon Yusen Kaisha is
a company which :has been organized
by corporation of the Mitsu Bishi
Company and the Kiado Unyu Kaisha,
with capital double that of the Mitsu
Bishi. We rejoice to think that the
company has endeavored to extend
its lines to Mexico, but it must be re-
membered that in order to run dis
tances between the ports of
Mexico and Japan, there is
one thing which is OF a more urgent
character than survey of the coast,
rates OF freight, probable number of
passengers, etc. 1t is a treaty between
the Empire of Japan and the Mexican
Republic. Without treaty the Nip
pom Yusen Kaisha, however many
steamers it may possess, cannot an
chor its vessels in the ports OF Mex
leo and engage in the business Of
transportation between the ports of the
two countries" The same paper init
mates that treaty can be arranged
and that the line will be established.
