Murmuriugs Concerning the Bathing Privi-

Murmurings Concerning the Bathing Privi-
leges in the National Capitol
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.--There are naurmur-
ings about the Capitol against Chairman Dbl
be of the House committee public buildings
and grounds. The chairman of this committee
has control of the bath privilege in the House.
AS is well known, there are elegant bath rooms
at both ends of the Capitol, where members and
Senators. the employees and their friends can
battle. The baths are luxurious that they
have become very popular with classes who
were not known before they came hero to pat
ronize bathrooms. Among the amusements
Senators and members have been in the habit of
extending TO rural constituents when they
call is the bath, which is composed
of elegant marble tubs, tile floors, etc.
So popular have become the baths in the House
restrict their use. So, the other day. he issued
a ukase, which confines the use of the baths ex-
clusively to members of the House and its en-
ployes. Mr.. Dibble has several sons and some
times they need plunge in the lavatory the
same as other people, and there was a provision
inserted in the rules to the effect that bath
tickets may be issued to the sons of mem bers
when the same can conveniently be done. upon
the request of such members" The rules con-
tinue: Each employe of the House. including
the assistant librarians, shall be entitled to one
bath each week any day except Saturday"
Mr.. Dibble also makes regulations to this effect:
whenever only one tub suitable for the mem
bers' use is unoccupied, it shall be held in re-
serve for the first member who desires to use
it," The phraseology of the rule where it
states, Suitable for the members use." has
been iocularly referred to. It is presumed that
this would indicate that the most highly pol
shed of the marble tubs are the ones to be set
aside for the members. Thus Mr.. Dibb1e dis
eliminates in favor of the mem bers, and against
constituents, whereat some indignation has arts

Sam Small says that, after awhile it will be
the proud boast of the Prohibitionists that they
found America drunk and left it sober Au-
gustus found Rome brick and left it marble.
This shows enthusiasm the part of Mr.. Small,
but it is silly bathos, all the same. The Pro-
hibitionists found Mr.. Small drunk and it is
hoped they will leave him sober: and SO of many
other individuals, but no such wild hope can be
based on this particular instance. AS matter
of fact, America never has been and never will
be as drunk as the Prohibitionists have declared
it to be: and it never will be as sober they

LONDON, November 23.-In the Com

| whether it was true that seven Irish
members we're about to be prosecuted,
and if 30 whether there was any relation
between the prosecution and delay in the
debate on Irish estimates.
Smith denied any knowledge of the
prosecution. He certainly desired the
members to remain until the esti.
mates were considered. He then moved
that the rule compelling adjournment at
midnight be suspended to enable the
House to conclude the debate on the
Irish Land Purchase bill. His molten
was carried by vote OF 1876 to 159.
On motion to go into committee on
the bill, Parnell proposed an amendment
giving the Government power to instruct
the Land Commission to deal with arrears
when fixing judicial rents. This done it
would place the tenant in a position to
contract freely with the landlord, it
would protect the exchequer against loss
and gives the Ashbourne act the best
possible chance to work with smooth
ness.
Smith contended that the course pro-
posed would place the tenant in dis
tinctly worse position than before, by
recognizing the arrears as charge that
might continue to hang around his neck,
even after completing his purchase.
Now, after the contract for purchase had
been agreed upon, the arrears became

SAN DIEGO, November 23.-The re.
ported sale OF the Cuyamaca and Eastern
Railroad to the Union Pacific is con-
firmed by very high official of the
Santa Fe, who claims to know that the
transaction is consummated also by a

The road was transferred to the De-
velopment Company last Spring, and
this company transfers it to party rep
resenting the Union Pacific.
The road is surveyed to Lakeside
in the Ell Cajon valley, distance
OF twenty-five miles, and graded two
thirds of that distance. The transfer is
also confirmed by Governor Waterman's
statement before leaving San Diego,
Wednesday, that he had waited with
his interest in it; also by the statement
of prominent San Diego attorney, who
drew the papers. John G. Long, who
went east week ago to complete the
deal, is expected home about the 27lh
