WASHINGTON BRIEFS.

"A conference of state railway commits
sioners and the Interstate commerce CON-
mission assembled at Washington on the
9Th. for the purpose of considering the es-
Enlistment of a uniform system of report
ing railway statistics. simplifcatien and
uniflcation of CHASING freight. whether OF
not railroad construction should be regu-
lated by law, and how to obtain harmony
in railroad legislation. Commissioners
were present from twenty different states.
including Iowa. Wisconsin. Nebraska and
Minnesota. The accounting officers of sew
eral railroad were represented by COM
mittee. Judge Cooley opened the confer
ence with an address, after which the sub.
jects of uniformity of statistics and clussi.
flcation of freight were debated.

MATTERS IN THE WEST.

The gold excitement in Lower Califor-
mia, near Ensenada. is increasing. and
many people are floeking to the gold fields.
Work on the Cayamaca, San Diego and
Eastern railroad has stopped, the workmen
leaving in body for the mines. The
steamers between San Diego and !senada
have doubled the rates, but the rush con-
tinues and stages are now running over
land, carrying passengers direct for the
mines. which are situated about sixty miles
southeast of Ensenada. San Diego papers
declare that the development covers 100
miles square and that placer miners are
making a great deal of money. as high as
S13 600 in gold dust having been brought
into Ensenada and San Diego in single
day.
Dakota people are getting their share
of good things during the last days of the
flftieth congress. On the 2Sth ult. the con-
ference report on the Sioux reservation
bill was agreed upon by both houses. The
bill opens to settlement l1.00o,OOO acres Of
land, and provides money to pay the In
dions therefor. so that there will be no
trouble in securing their REIMBURSEMENT.
| The will of james c. Flood was filed IN
the county clerks Office at Redwood City.
| CAL. on Monday, March 4th, The estate,
valued at $4,000. OcO. is bequeathed one-half
to his wife and the other half to his daugh-
ter, Cora Jane. and his son. James L., share
and share alike. Before his death deceased
decided large blocks of property to his
family.
Never was such a crowd in Washington
before as during the Inauguration season.
1t is estimated that half million strangers
camped in the city Sunday night, filling
every inch of hotel and boarding house &c.
commodations, drawing 10 the full limit or
private hospitality. and then many were
forced to sleep on floors. some on billiard
tables, and even the welcome recess of an
! occasional bath tub was not despised.
| "A late act of President Cleveland was
tho signing of the reservation bill. Dako.
| taians are now confident that the reserva-
ton will be thrown open to settlement

One woman at work in ashop behind
a clean and tidy cottage had been maxi
ing nails for thirty years. She got
74d pence for making 1000 nails, and
by working long hours she could make
Sd day net. One little shop from ten
to twelve feet square was in full swing;
where were four young women hard at
work, and if they could keep it up for
six days at fifteen hours a day, their
gross earnings would amount to the sur
prising sum of IS Sd each. But the
clear earnings of these young women
skillful, persistent, unwearying work
ers; their arms thin, but burdened by
unceasing toll; their chests flat, their
faces pallid, and their palms and fin
gers case-hardened by bellows, ham
mer, oliver and rod-will run to IS Sd
per week when in full work.
The oliver, it should be explained, is
a spring-tilt hammer operated by the
foot of the worker and discharging the
duty of a mechanical striker; its weight
varies from ten pounds to thirty
pounds. 1t is very striking sight to
see clever girl at her work making
cone OF counter-sunk nails, or pipe
nails, spoonheads, and gutter spikes.
Her left hand holds the rod, which is
red-hot at one end, out of which the
nail is fashioned; with her right hand
she Yields her forming hammer, and
with her left leg she works the oliver:
while her eager face is all the time
bowed to the anvil, except when
strengthening herself up she turns from
the anvil to the bellows to blow up the
fire.
