Wyoming Fish Hatchery.

DENVER, March 20.-A special to the
Republican from Washington says: The
committee on public lands have prepared
a favorable report on the measure grant
ing to the territory of Wyoming $40 acres
OF land to enable the territory to main
tam thereon a fish hatchery and other
institutions. The bill authorizes the
governor to select the land within the
abandoned Fort Sanders military reserva-
ton. During the past five years, as is
known, Wyoming has successfully main
tanned a fish hatchery on the lands COW
cred by the reservation, and has made
great progress, it is stated, in stocking the
streams of the territory and those of the
adjoining states and territories. The
committee says:
AS there are some questions as to
whether the odd sections in the said res
e%rvation are covered by the grant to the
Union Pacific Railroad company, it has
been thought best to permit the governor
of the territory to select lands required,
with a view of protecting the water from
deflement, and to enable him TO select
laDds that will not infringe upon the grant
to the railroad company in case it should
be decided that the odd sections on the
reservation are included in the said grant.
The bill does not permit the lands to be
used for any purpose except those CON
templated by the act. 1t protects the
right Of any settlers who may be upon
the reservation under any act of con.
preSs,'

stage amid prolonged cheering and great
enthusiasm. Delegates to the National
convention from eleven congressional dis
tricts were then announced. Among the
delegates named are Senator Wilson, ex
Governor Irwin and Col. Hepburn.
Standing committees were appointed and
the convention adjourned until 2 o'clock.
At the afternoon session the committee
on resolutions made the following report,
which was adopted:
The Republicans of Iowa improve this
opportunity upon the eve of the meeting
OF the national convention, of presenting
the name of VIM. B. Allison to the Re-
publican convention for the nomination
as president of the United States. We
do this from the profound conviction that
we are acting in obedience to an obliga.
ton resting upon the Republicans every
where, to urge the selection of the best
and strongest candidate. His long ser
vice in both branches of congress has been
conspicuous for loyalty to the Republicans,
for his profound knowledge of the mate.
rial OF the north. wisdom and
skill in finances, and for broad and pru-
dental craftsmanship.
HE is in the full vigor, of mental and
physical powers, generous affable and ap
proacbable. He is in the embodiment of
personal and official integrity. He repre-
sents the rare combinations Of all ele-
ments for astrong candidate and wise exc
cutive.'
An Allison brigade was organized to 90

The Boss OF all Cooks.

HAvRE, France, March 2l.-Joseph
Real, Vanderbilt new cook, has sailed
for New York. He is to get $40, 900 a
year besides ''perquisites, and it is said
has given bonds that none of the Wander
bilt household shall suffer from dyspepsia
during his ministration of the affairs of
the kitchen. He is a great pugilist and
f%eneer, and says that he intends to organ
ize numerous fencing bout and kicking
parties. Joseph first captured Wander
bits regard by a dish of wild duck. AT
ter slieing all the meat OF the bird he put
the carcass into II press and squeezed every
drop of juice out Of it. Then he cooked
the skeleton over a spirit lamp on a silver
dish and made his sauce out of the Juice.
The great American millionaire declared
that he had never tasted anything like it
before, and asked the chef on the spot
his terms for an American season. Jos
eph, who did not want to cross the ocean,
named a figure which he believed to be
%prohibitive, but to his surprise, it was i'm
mediately accepted. Numerous sources and
farewell balls have been given to him in
the aristocratic French kitchens during the
past few weeks, and his departure has
created a void among the culinary socie-
ties of the gay metropolis.

The Pacific Indebtedness.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Congress
man Weber of New York was asked
what he thought of the Pacific extension
bill. Mr.. Weber is a member of the
committee on Pacific railroads, and he is a
man who does not usually speak without
considering well what he says. Mr.. Web
Der replied:
THE committee has asked for four
days in which to consider these bills. Thus
far no consideration has been given to the
subject OF the extension of the Central
Pacific or the Sioux City & Pacific debt.
The bill which has been reported applies
to the Union Pacific and the Kansas Pa
cltic, which is practically one road now,
and the Central branch of the Union Pa,
ciic. For myself, | am anxious hat the
subject should come up at one time, and
that the Central Pacific bill should be re-
ported and considered at the same time
that the others are. From present indi-
cations, am inclined TO think the bill al,
ready reported will pass, with perhaps
some modification. As to what will be
done with the Central Pacific debt | can
not FAY at this time, but | think it is a
safe prediction to make that the Union
Pacifc's proposition will not be accepted;
at least. | am sure that | myself shall
not vote for it in the committee or III the
house

Must it not be to those who endure
life long bodily suffering? From child.
hood to old age many persons are tor,
mented with rheumatism and neuralgia.
Ordinary medication and topical remedies
are'ot slight, and always of Temporary
efficacy. To escape the extreme tortures
OF these agonizing complaints, they should
be annihilated at the outset with Hostel.
ter's Stomach Bitters, which expels from
the system the acrid- impurities that be
get them.- The evidence as to its efficacy
as a blood depurent in this particular is
very ample, and strongly concurrent and
convincing. In violent forms of these
diseases the nerves are terribly racked. A
wineglassful or two Of the Bltters before
the hour of retiring usually brings a re.
spite from pain. and enables the sufferer
to secure much needed repose. For kid
ney troubles, malarial complaints, indi-
g%estion, liver complaint and constipation,
the Bitters is likewise beneficial.

Wllful Murder.

COLUMBUS, No., March 2l.-The coro.
ner's Jury in the case Of David Gordon
has completed its work with a verdict Of
wilful murder by William and Jonathan
Blalock. Constable Gordon was assassin,
ated by the accused Friday night last,
the Gulf depot having been broken open
Thursday night while he was watching the
house where stolen goods were supposed
to be secreted. The next day Miss Bla-
lock, a teacher in one OF the city schools,
confessed to the authorities that her two
brothers did the killing. They were ar,
rested and made a full confession of their
multitudinous crimes.
They have been connected for years
with a gang of horse thieves which ex.
tends from Kansas City to Arkansas, Tex
as and Colorado. Their crimes include
robbing mails, blowing safes, sand bag
ging and murder. Fifteen arrests have
already been made and information has
been telegraphed hat this will lead to the
arrest of as many more.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-In the SEN
ate to day Mr.. Blair, in reference 10 the
-tlll to give preference to civil service APP
pointments to wounded ex-soldiers of the
~confederacy as between men who had
been disloyal, said hat several senators on
both sides had requested him to have the
bill lie over still further. He therefore
asked its p|Ostpouement till next Tuesday
when he would ask the senate to dispose
of holding the question, the second read
ing of the bill. The bill was laid over as
proposed.
The senate then proceeded to act upon
the bills On the calendar.
A bill was passed to establish a United
States court in Indian Territory.
To allow soldiers and sailors who have
lost both hands or the use of both hands
500 month.
The bill offered by Blair allowing a pen
sion of S25 a month to women enrolled
during the war as army muses. and who
rendered six months services, having
been reached, the report was read, in
which it was stated that the beneiciaries
under it would not average more than six
or eight to each state. Beck called for
the ayes and nays, remarking, that of
course this bill would pass. 1t would
apply to every colored woman who had
cooked for the soldiers during six months,
and according to the report Just received,
such women were entitled Roman
matrons.'
Edmrnds did not see on what principle
the bill proceeded. The association of
nurses whose memorials had been read
had not asked for it. They only asked
apparently to be placed on the footing Of
soldiers who had been disabled in service.
No pensions were given to soldiers not
so disabled, and as a friend of women's
rights, he did not believe in making such
an individuous distinction.
Beck objected to the further considera-
ton of the bill, and hoped hat the COM
mIttee on pensions would call on the sec
rotary OF war for the number of enrolled
female nurses during the war, so that the
senate might know within at least a mil
lion of dollars what the bill was to take
out of the treasury. If the senate was
to give $25 a month to every woman,
white or black, who had cooked for the
soldiers six months, the senate should
know how many of them there were.
The bill under the objection went over.
The other public bills on calendar that
were passed were the following:
House bill to divide the Great Sioux
Indian reservation into separate and
smaller reservations with a substitute, be-
ing the senate bill ito divide a portion Of
the reservation of the Sioux nation of
Indians in Dakota into separate reserva-
tons and to secure the REIMBURSEMENT OF
the Indian title to the remaining"
TO provide for the sale of the site of
Fort Omaha, Neb., and for new site and
the construction of suitable buildings

Hopes for Murderer Maxwell.

ST. LOUIS, March 2I.-Samuel N.
Brooks, father OF murderer Maxwell, in
tends starting for home to day. He said
that an important ex%amipation is to be
held at the schools of Hyde, England, of
which he is superintendent, and it will be
necessary for him to be in attendance.
While here he has worked hard on the
petition to the governor to his
sons sentence, and is very much graft
fed with the result of his labors. He
has obtained a great many signatures and
pledges, and while he will never again
permit himself to build up hopes of my
thing, he thinks matters now look ex-
tremely favorable. He has every conf
dence in his sons attorneys, and thinks
they can be trusted to keep a lookout for
his interests.

Railroad Matters.

MINNEAPoLIs, March 2I.-It transpires
that a general tie-up of the Northwestern
roads has only been prevented by Chief
Arthur's counsels. The men have been
on the point of striking for sometime, but
were unwilling to take the responsi.
biGty of doing so without the appro.
port of the whole brotherhood. Com.
mittees Of engineers and firemen went to
Chicago yesterday to consult with Ar.
thur. On the result of their visit depends
whether a general tie.up will be begun OF
not.

BosToN, March 2l.-Miss Ella Cava,
naugh, about IS years of age, committed
suicide at the home of her brother-in law,
Frank Robinson, at Roxbury, last night.
The girls parents live in San francisco
and are said to be wealthy. Ella came
east ten months ago to visit her sister,
and was apparently enjoying herself. Fri,
day night she said to a lady in the house
II am going into the bath room to take
some poison Come in and keep me COM
pany while [ do it." A short time after
she was found lying on the floor suffering
great agony. On the shelf was a lumber
of rat poison of which she admitted she
had taken a portion. A physician was
summoned, but she was beyond recovery,
and died after midnight. The girls rea-
son for taking her life is a mystery.
