THE sENA vE.
Blair Makes Bid for thu
Southern Vote.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-In the
Senate to-day Blair, who yesterday
introduced the bill giving the prefer
ence for civil service appointments,
among the men who have been dis
loyal during the war, to those who
had served in the Confederate army
and who were suffering from wounds
or disabilities. asked Platt (who had
objected to the second reading Of the
bill) to withdraw his objection.
PIatt said that he could not object
to the bill being read the second time
and referred to committee.
Blair said that he had introduced
the bill in entire good faith. He un-
derstood that in North Carolina there
were to-day &c, 900 ex-soldiers of the
Confederacy who had lost limbs in its
service, and that very large number
of them we're in poor circumstances.
1t seemed to him that If the Govern
ment, under this administration or
any other administration, should give
appointments to men who had been
disloyal, the preference should be
given to those who had served in the
Confederate army and were now dis
abled (other things being fqual).
The debate was conducted up to 2
O'Clock, when the bill went over till
tomorrow without action. Speeches
we're ma le by Senators Platt, Hale,
Berry, Blair, Hoar, Riddleberger,
Hampton, George, Henderson,
Daniels and Hawley.
The Southern Senators, while ex-
pressing the kindliest feeling for the
generosity and philanthrophv which
had prompted the introduction Of the
bill, disclaimed all desire on the part
of Ex-Confederates for the passage of
any snch exceptional measure, but
thought that, as a matter OF courtesy
and uniformity of practice, the bill
should be read a second time and re-
ferred.
Northern soldiers were of one ac-
cord in condemning the measure as
unwise and ill-considered.
BILLS DISPOSED OF.
The Senate CDen look up tne
calendar and passed several bills, in.
e Guiding the following: For the relief
OF Mission Indians in California; pro-
viding for allotments of lands to them
ia severaliy; providing for the ware
housing fruit brandy, and bills for
the relief OF the iron-clad builders,
the Perines and McKays.
Among the bills reported from
committees and placed on the calen-
der were the following: To relieve the
Treasurer of the United States from
the amount now charged to him and
deposited with several States; to
authorize the Secretary OF the Treas
ury to apply the surplus money in the
Treasury to the purchase of United
States bonds and to the prepayment
of interest.
After executive session the Senate

SETTLERS sWiNDLED.
Thc President on the Oregon
Wagon Road Frauds.

NAS On@ nOdu TAuuus
WASHINGTON, March 20. - The
President to-day sent to the two
Houses Of Congress communication
from the secretary Of the Interior
with great mass of testimony relat-
ing to grant OF land to the State of
Oregon for construction of wagon
roads. The presentation OF the facts
by the Secretary, the President says,
is the result of an examination which
has developed, as it seems to him
(the President) the most unblushing
frauds upon the government, which,
if remaining unchallenged, will divert
several hundred thousand acres of
land from the public domain and
from the reach of honest set
tiers to those who have at
tempted to pervert and prosti-
tute the beneficent designs OF
the government. The government
sought by the promise of generous do
nation of land to promote the build
ing OF wagon roads for public conve-
nience and for the purpose of encour-
aging settlement upon these public
lands. The roads have not been built,
and yet an attempt is made to claim
the lands under title which depends
for its validity entirely upon the con-
struction OF these roads.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REFORM.
A bill accompanies the communica-
ton, which the President submits with
the recommendation that it may be-
come law, and with the earnest hope
that the opportunity thus presented
to demonstrate sincere desire to pre-
serve the puolic domain for settlers
and to Illustrate unlawful attempts to
appropriate the same may not be neg
laatoI

THE VALLEJO DISASTER.
Decide That Hillman
Was to Blame.

SAN Francisco, March Pop. F.
Dundon, proprietor of the San Fran
cisco boiler works, was one of the ex-
perts summoned by the coroner's jury
at Vallejo to examine the exploded
boilers of the steamer Julia, in which
explosion number Of lives were lost.
Mr.. Dundon in speaking of the re-
suits Of the investigation says: "The
experts decided that Boiler Inspector
Hillman was to blame for issuing GER
tificates for three-eighths of an inch
iron and for allowing steam pressure
based on that thickness OF iron when
the real thickness was only twenty
nine-hundredths of an inch. They
also blamed him for not reducing the
pressure allowed to make up for years
of wear of the boiler"
