The Land Office Case,

For the past two or three days ru.
mors Of grave nature duplicating
Judge M. q. Barney, receiver OF the
u. s. land Office in this city have
been in circulation. The purport of
these rumors was to the effect that
the receiver was several thousand
dollars short in in his accounts. Mr..
Adams, the register, states that he
discovered that the accounts were not
as they should be last Thursday, and
he at once notified Mr.. Barney's
bondsmen, who reside at,and in the vi
cinity of, Cheney. They Immediately
came to this city, but as Mr.. Barney
was ill ut his house he could not ap-
pear ut the Office i'll person. AS no
thorough examination OF the books
could be made the condition of the
accounts cun not now be stated, al
though Mr.. Barney will probably be
well enough by Monday to appear at
the Office and an official statement can
be given to the public within II few
days.
Believing that it was but just to
grant MIR. Barney II hearing, II reporter
was dispatched to that gentleman's
residence last evening. Mr.. Barney
was able to be up for the first time in
the last three days, and he received
the reporter courteously. The scribe
stated his mission and Mr.. Barney
said that he would visit the office. A
carriage was sent up to the house, and
Mr.. Barney reached the REVIEW Office
about III O'Clock. He showed the ei-
iects OF his indispositioi,, aud talked of
the charges freely. He says that when
he lett his Office some days ago the ac
counts were co rect as far as he knew.
He could give no explanation in regard
to the iDatter, but iio ed to be able to
be at the office Monday, where the
books will be overhauled and the ue
state OF affairs given to the public,
Until that time comment is withheld

The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1888-07-31

WASHINGTON, July 24-There was full
meeting OF the senate finance committee
this morning, and an hour was devoted to an
informal discussion OF a line Of action in regard
TO the tariff question.
Nothing was determined upon, but at the
time Of adjournment there was an understand
ing that the republican majority of the COM
mittee would get together and see if an agree
ment could be reached i'll respect to measure
TO be submitted as substitute for the Mills
bill. If successful in this the measure is likely
to be laid before the republican caucus, and
when shaped, to meet any conflicting views
which may be developed there, it will be laid
before the democrats of the finance committee
and by them before the democratic caucus for
consideration OF line Of policy on their part.
With SO many elements of uncertainty no one
feels like vcnturing guess as to the kind OF
measure. if any, which may be submitted, or
as TO the length of the session. But it is eX-
pected that the present week will determine
pretty clearly the course Of future events.
The republican members of the committee
remained in conference nearly an hour after
their democratic colleagues withdrew, and
during the afternoon there were frequent pri-
vate conferences with other republican sena-
tors and with republican members of the house.
AS result, the opinion is gaining Roadway
that there will be no report Of tariff bill at
this session, but the subcommittee will con-
tinue its inquiry during recess Should the
republicans adopt this course, final adjourn
ment of the session may be expected within
three Weekg.

OF Interest to Farmers.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Representiye Con-
ger, of Iowa, from the committee on agricul-
ture, today reported to the house a substitute
for the ButteTworth bill to regulate the manu-
facture of compound lard, already described
in these dispatches.
In its report the committee says the
object of the bill is to COM
pei the branding of compounds, sold
as lard SO that the purchaser may be advised
of the real nature of the article he purchases.
The bill is similar.in character to the oleomar--
garine law. which has given almost universal
satisfaction.
The Importance Of the measure viii become
apparent when it is stated that the annual lard
product of the United States is valued at
SS0,000,000. 1t is a business Of vast commercial
importance, and of vital interest to the farmer
and hog grower. 1t is an undisputed fact,
says the committee, that parties are now en-
gagged in the manufacture and sale of com:
pounds sold as lard, and that at least one OF
these compounds contain no trace of lard
whatever The committee submits that it is
impossible to justify the practice of such de-
ception as this, and it therefore recommends
the passage Of the bill

A Dull House Session.

WASHINGTON. July 25.-After dsposing of
various private bills, the house took up and
considered the bill to establish United States
land court and to provide for judicial investi-
CATION and the settlement of private land
claims in the territories of Arizona and New
Mexico, and the state of Colorado.
On motion OF Mr.. Smith, of Arizona, an
amendment was adopted exempting Arizona
from the provisions of the bill, and the bill
with the amendment was passed to q.
Two dozen members congregatedi in the open
space in front of the speakers desk, and with
stentorian voices and with waving bills sought
TO secure recognition for unanimous consent
from the presiding officer. A couple Of private
bills successfully ran the gauntlet Of objections,
but no measure of public importance was
passed, and the house, at 4 40, took recess.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The session of the
house tonight was complete 1iasco.
Several of the wiser and more experienced
members, who were aware that no business
could be accomplished, interposed motions to
adjourn, but they were invariablyvoted down,
until Mr.. Stone, Of Kentucky, chairman OF the
committee on war claims, weary of tho child's
play, N which the house had been indulginc,
moved an adjournment which, at $3.50, was
carried.

Blair favored the selection, not Of one, but Of
many favorable points on the Atlantic aud Pa
cific and gulf coasts.
Finally the amendment TO strike out was re-
jected. Yeas 10, nays "A. SO the provision
was retained in the bill modified, on the mo-
ton Of Mr.. Reagan, by including the Missis-

THE SENATE.
The Proceedings of the Upper House for TIL,
Week.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The senate at
o'clock, proceeded TO tho consideration OF the
fisheries treaty III open executive session, and
was addressed by Mr.. Dawes in opposition to
its ratification.
Mr.. Dawes said that debate on the subject
was well nigh exhausted and that he would
not have venturcd to tax the WEAKNESS of the
senators still further If he had not few obser-
vations to submit. lie then proceeded to dis
cuss the treaty in detail and at great length
with occasional Interruptions by Messrs. Nor
gan and Others which gave the debate a colo
quail character.
An allusion by Mr.. Dawes to the Baltimore
Sun interview with Secretary Bayard (partic-
ularly in reference to the British apology for
the act OF n Canadian official in hauling down
the flag on an American fishing vesse), was
taken up by Mr.. Gray, who said that the sena-
tor from Massachusetts could not have been
aware and that the senator from Colorado
(Mr. Teller, who qourted it last Saturday,
could not have been aware that MIR. Bayard
had disayowed the interview; that it was not
authorized, and it didn't truly represent him.
Mr.. Toller said that this was the first dis
avowal Of tho interview he had heard
Mr., Hoar asked Mr.. Gray if he was author
lied by Secretary Bayard to disavow it.
Mr.. Gray replied that he had had
no direct authority, but he had
seen tho disavowal published in
the Baltimore Sun. Republican senators are
not inclined to accept this published dsavoyal
rs sufficient and in further course Of debate,
after a speech in opposition to the treaty by
Mr. Stewart, Of Nevada, the Bayard interview
was again broughtup and discussed by Messrs.
Evarts, Iloar, Teller Hampton and Gibson.
Mr.. Eyars stated that ii had been arranged on
the republican side that he should close the
argument against the treaty; but he didn't ex-
pect that conclusion of the discussion would
he reached before next Monday.
The senate then proceeded to legislative
business.

Postmaster General Dickinson is summering.
As they were boarding the train here, a by
stander was heard to eXclaim that Mrs. Cleye-
land was worth hundred thousand votes for
the ticket.
THE ALLENTOWN ELL.
As soon as the house failed to pass over the
presidents veto Mr.. Sowdcn's bill for public
building at Allentown, Pennsylvania, he inn
mediateiy introduced another for a slightly
smaller amount. The new bill has passed tho
senate without being into committee, and it
is safe 70 predict its immediate passage in the
house, as that body only failed to give the
former bill a two-thlrds majority and pass IL
over the Presidents veto by thirteen votes.
Many think Mr.. Cleveland, after tho severe
rcpremand given him by the house for vetoing
ii before, viii with out hesitation sign it this
time. But the president probably has more
backbone than he is given credit for possessing,
and it Is probable he will repeat his former ac-
ton. However, if he does it is believed Mr..
Sowden will succeed this time in getting his
two~thirds majority. This viii probably be
Mr. Sowdens last term in congress, as Penn
sylyania has been rcdftriCted, and he and Rep
rescntatiyc Ermontrout are now in the same
district. Ermontrout is now at home fixing up
his fences, and knowing ones say he will be
given the nomination over SOwden.
WILL THEY DO II?
Congressman Anderson, Of Illinois, who is
not candidate for reelection, said today that
he had received letter from very prOmi-
nent democratic politician Of that state saying
that careful survey Of the situation warranted
the statement that the prohibition vote this
year would more than double that cast in 1884.
Mr.. Anderson said IL that statement proved
true Illinois woGld give her electoral vote to
Cleveland and Thurman.

WASHINGTON, July 28-rSpecial. Chief
Justice Fuller who has been here for

turn to receive his commission and take steps

WILL HE VETO IT2
The river and harbor bill has been ready for
the presidents signature for some days, but
on account Of Mr.. Cleveland's absence it has
moi yet been delivered at the white house.
There are some fears expressed of his again
vetoing this bill, but the majority Of members
think he viii afix his signature as there has
not been bill in two years.

who failed to make a record in the Fuller case
was Mr.. Spooner, who is recorded as "absent
and not paired" He has returned to Wash
ngton and finds, much to his chagrin, that the
record is correct. lie supposed he had secured
a pair with one of his republican colleagues,
who was opposed to the confirmation, but
finds that the arrangement was misunder-
stood. He authorizes the statement that he
would have voted for the confirmation had he
been present. This makes the total, including
pairs, OF forty-nine senators who were favora-
bic TO the confirmation, twelve Of whom were
republicans.
The house bill appropriating $4,000 for
public building at Statesvile, n. G., was re-
ported and placed on the calendar. Mr.. ALI
