Convention.

ported to the House the Brecken-

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Immediately
after the reading of the journal, the con
test for consideration arose between special
order, the homestead bill and the river and
harDor bill An attempt was made TO ar
rive at an amicabe arrangement, whereby
consideration of the special order should
be postponed until May l, but Mr.. Breck-
enridge, of Kentucky, fearing that the
tariff bill might be interfered with, inter
posed an objection.
Finally the house refused-yeas s., nays
136-to consider the special order. and the
house went in committee of the whole, Mr..
McMillin. of Tennessee, in the chair, on
the river and harbor bill.
Mr.. Randall, OF Pennsylvania, offered
an amendment apprODriating S250.000 for
the improvement of the harbOr Of Phila-
delphia, and for the removal Of Smiths
wind mill and Pettins island, or such parts
of them as may be necessary, provided
that no part Of this sum shall be expended
until the title to the land shall be vested
in the United States free OF charge. The
amendment was adopted.
1Ir. Dibble, of South Carolina, moved to
increase from $4,000 to sos, 600 the ap-
priation for the improvement Of Charles
ton, :. C., harbor Lost.
Mr.. Henderson. OF Iowa, in speaking on
the amendment regretted that he could
not give his approval to the bill, as he
favored the system Of improving the great
water ways as a safeguard against the. ex-
tOrtiOns OF railroad corporations. But this
bill made appropriation for rivers and
harbors which it would test the geOgraph-
zeal knowledge of any gentleman to locate
The Forty seventh congress had passed Il
river and harbor bill Of S.0O0,0 600, and the
Democrats had gone into the next canvass
and painted on their banners Down
with the Republican party be-
cause it passed this enormous bill. "
The verdict of the people had been
against this appropriation. With this piece
of history in his memory he did not pro-
pose to vote for a bill which went beyond
that which had been condemned by the
popular verdict in lSS2.
Mr. Grain. of Texas, offered an amend
ment making an appropriation of $4,000
for the construction of a harbor of refuge
at Port Lavacco, Tex, and argued that at
many less important places, harbors,
where the commerce was considerably less
had been given larger appropriations than
he asked for Port Lavacco. More than
half million dollars worth of merchan-
disc had entered last year at this port.
The amendment was rejected.
The committee then rose and the house
adjourned.

Furniture of the Sitting Room.

The furniture of the sitting room may not
be as elegant as that which adorns the parlor,
but it should be neat, and at all hazards COM
Portable Low chairs should abound, and
each member of the family should have his
and her particular seat and coy nook. The
sewing machine, when not in use, should be
draped with pretty table cover and rolled
back out of the way, the mending basket and
stocking bag should have their corner and
hook where they need not be too apparent.
II there is no regular library in the house,
part, at least, of the books should be here,
arranged on low shelves where they viii be
conveniently at hand when parses occur in
the regular work. One shelf may be appro-
priated to the children's school books End
less searchings and hurryings will be spared
by having a fixed place for these. What
pictures are on the walls should be good.
Cheap and tawdry chromos or Autographs
are far more of a Disagreement than an orna-
ment The simple adornment OF gay Japan
csc fans, unframed photographs, etc, that
would look out of place III the more sedate
elegance of a drawing room, are suitable
here.
A room in which there is as much work
done as there is in this should be well lighted
both by day and by night. The windows
should not be darkened by heavy draperies,
but supplied with shades and curtains of
Madras, scrim or muslin. Some color is
preferable to pure white, as that is apt to
show every particle of dust, and the curtains
20 look limp and dingy as soon as the starch
is out Of them. Figured China silk is very
pretty, although perhaps not as serviceable as
the Madras goods in soft neutral tints. These,
even if they fade little, will still be barno
NOUS in tone, and can be freshened at any
time by being taken down and subjected to
thorough shaking and beating in the open
air-Christine Terhune Herrick in Harper's

postal cards will be issued to all the
offices and will be put in general use.
The new cards differ from the old ones
in that they furnish privacy to the

the present pattern. The back fold is
split diagonally and opens square out.
The four corners are folded and joined
together in the center, whed the card
has been written upon, with piece Of

less than half an ounce and will con.
tain no more writing than do those

SECRETARY WaIENEY's annual re-
port very interesting document, He
gives the status OF the Navy as it will
will be on the 4th of March, 1889, and
compares it with the Navy Of March
9TH 1885, He then states that when
the unarmored cruisers already con-
trscted for are completed that the
United States will rank second among
the nations in the possession OF that
most useful class of vessels. But the
most striking part OF the report is
that relating to The finances of The
Department In this connection the
secretary says 1t is gratifying to be
able to report, AS will be seen from the
following table, that not withstanding
the expenditures for the new Navy in
the last three years, the reductions in
other directions have made the total
expenditures Of the Department less
for these three years ending June
90th. 1854, the ordinary expense OF
the Department having been reduced
over twenty per cent. The table men,
toned by the Secretary shows that
the expenditure for three years ending
June so, 1884, were $47 ,979,397, and
for tho three years ending juno 80,
1888, $46,SSO,680. This is plain
statement OF unvarnished facts, and
shows the difference between demo
cratic economy and republican ex-
travaganec.

Slowly UnraVeling.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Dec. 1.-The
officers discovered another link to-day
in the chain Of evidence which is be-
ing worked up to show that the Euro
pean Hotel fire will develop one of
the most monstrous crimes ever en-
acted in Tennessee. From the begin.
ming it has been held that when
all facts are known besides the crime
OF robbery, it will be proven that the
persons robbed was murdered and the
hotel set on fire to cover up the crime.
To-day Detective Frank Papenian
found three witnesses who saw the
hotel set on fire, aud the officers are
working for additional testimony
They have come to the conclusion
that there are several persons mixed
up in the matter. Thus far only one
arrest has been made.
