calendar.
Leave was granted TO Mr.. Spinola, OF New
York, TO file a minority report.
The House then went into Committee OF
the Whole (Mr. Blount Of Georgia, 10 the
chair) for the consideration OF the fortlhea-
ton appropriation bill.
The pending question was point OF
order raised by air. rownshend, OF Illinois,
that the Committee on Appropriations has
exceeded ITS jurisdiction In incorporating
in the measure the provision for heavy
ordinance for the armament OF sea-coast
defense, aud that all such provisions should
be ruled out OF the bill.
Mr Townsbend aud other members OF the
Military COMMITTEE took the ground that
the subject OF ordnance was one over which
that committee had exclusive jurisdiction.
A lively contest followed in which the
Appropriation Committee proved victorious,
the chairman in an elaborate and carefully
digestod opinion overriding the point Of
order.
The amendment YVES adopted appropri-
atlpg SOS, 900 for repairs and improvements
Of the ordnance grounds at sandy Hook.
The committee then rose and the bill was
passed.

Gen. T.. :. Osborne: For u congress-
man to live in the capital--that is, to
make even n mediocre figure in society
he must spend an amount equal to
at least twice his salary. ! should
think $4,000 year would hardly go
far in giving n man anything like a
prestige. mean, OF course, the aver
age congressman, the person who has
neither brilliancy nor social standing
to commend him. 1t is a fact, and a
regret able one, that a congressman Is
measured by the money he spends,
not by his ability or merit. Take the
average congressman who endeavOrs
to live within his modest salary and
he lives in very unpretentious way.
A cheap boarding house, say from $S
to SO per week Ia boarding house
equal to "a clerks boarding house in
Philadelphia), is his temporary home.
His social life is u narrow one, as must
necessarily be the life of representa-
tive who has no wealth to squander.
He is u fit prey of the lobbyist, an
easy subject for shrewd iobbers, for he
sees the others living in clover and
knows that it Is within his reach, and
the temptation is not always resisted.
But take it all in all, the congressman
do not always live high" Very few,
if any, save any money out OF their
salary. II is possible for a man to
live, but his standing is impaired and
his prospects damaged beyond repair.
There is no reason why IA man could
not live within his means beyond that
OF social pleasure.

National Silver Convention.

ST. Louis, Oct. 1.-The Call and
Address Committee OF the National
Silver Convention met this afternoon
in consultation with Congressman X.
p. Bland, of this State, and Colonel
Egan, OF Colorado. The address, as
prepared, covers the silver question as
it concerns the welfare of the various
industries OF the country. Particular
stress is laid upon the subject in its
connection with the agricultural indus
tries OF the United States, and statis-
tics are given showing the manner in
which the American farmer and la
borer is brought into competition with
the HindoO laborers OF India, the
latter not only being able to shut the
American farmer out of the markets
OF Europe but being able to ship even
to the markets OF New York, Chicago,
st. Louis and other American centers.
The question is given its broadest
possible scope and is strongly empha-
sized. The committee also fixed the
representation at twenty delegates for
each State and Territory and empow-
cred and requested the Governors OF
the same TO appoint twenty delegates
and twenty alternates. The right was
reserved Tor executive committee to
appoint one hundrsd delegates at
large from the United States. The
finance committee meets Friday OF
this week and transportation and
other committees are getting their
work in hand

Discussion as to the best means to
he employed in making productive a
large area OF western land now dry
and yielding no crops, has received Il
marked impetus through the work OF
the Senatorial Committee on Irriga-
ton which has been investigating the
matter and holding sessions through
out the west. Major j. W. Powell,
Chief of the Geological Survey, who
acted as advisory member OF the com.
mittee in its work in the west, said in
recent interview: I'VE visited North
and South Dakota, Utah, Montana,
Washington Territory, Oregon, Idaho,
Nevada, California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas, Indian Territory, Kan
sas, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska,
or every state and territory in which
there are arid lands. We held eighty
meet ings and heard over two hundred
wltnesses The arid land that can be
irrigated and thus made productive
will include the larger portion OF each
state visited, in all over 10000, 900
acres. The work OF the committee
will be the preparation OF report
upon the advisability Of congressional
appropriations for surveys in the arid
district. There is not much doubt but
that such appropriations will be made
! do not believe Congress will ever tako
in charge the construction OF thu
bitches and reservoirs, but when il H.
done 1t will revOlutionize the west.

Washinet on Press: An old friend OF
mine, recently deceased, one day re-
lated to me the following incident: 81
was standing in my street door, rails
ing my umbrella, and just about to
issue forth on important business into

Immediately sprang out and offered
her the shelter OF my umbrella and to
accompany her 10 her residence. She
courteously accepted the service. Hav-
ing arrived at her home, which was

When President Harrison took
charge OF affairs at the White House
on March 4th last he found that under
Cleveland's administration loans to
national banks had been made to the
aggregate of S65, 100000; they have
already been nslecreased to $40, 10000
and the President intends that his
message to Congress shall show that
he has decreased these loans two
thirds during his short period OF ad-
ministration. He intends to wipe
them all out by the end OF the fiscal
year, June 80 next. Since all OF this
money and much more is to beapplied
to the purchase of bonds on the open
market, the extinguishment of these
loans will in no way affect the money
market. 1t simply puts money in the
hands OF the people instead OF the
National banks for circulation.

How Grant Escaped Death at Donslsen.

Memphis Appeal; On the morning
of the surrender OF the Confederate
troops ut Fort Donslson IA federal
staff officer approached the works oc-
cupied by Baldwin's brigade OF Buck
ner's division and inquired for the
headquarters OF the brigade comman-
der. He was shown to the quarters OF
Col. John c. Brown, Third Tennessee
infantry, who was temporarily in COM
mand OF the brigade. Upon meeting
Col. Brown the federal officer an
nounced that he had been sent for
ward by Gen. I :. Grant, command
ing the United states forces, to learn
the location OF the brigade headquar-
tiers, and that he would return and in
form the federal commander. The
officer then rode back To the line Of
works, and me-ting Gen. Grant and
his staff, conducted them to the tent
of Col. Brown.
"Col. Brown, allow me to introduce
General Grant, commander of our
forces"
Col. Brown acknowledged the in
PRODUCTION by "A polite though formal
bow.
"Col. Brown, il gives me pleasure to
take by the hand an officer who has
made such brave defense And re-
moving his hat the federal commander
leaned from his horse and extended
his hand, which Col. Brown accepted
with that grace and dignity which,
with his gallant hearing on the field, so
distinguished him aiterward as II
major general.
After few minutes the party passed
on toward the village oi Dover, the
Confederate headquarters, leavingC Col.
Brown standing before his tent. As
he turned to enter he saw approaching
| from the direction OF the tort IA Con-
federate lieutenant, mounted on n
splendid horse and riding at break
neck speed, his hat drawn lightly down
and iull-size,l navy six particularly
noticeable in his right hand. An in
slant more AMI Col. Brown had seized
the malman's birdie with, Where are
you going, sir,'
.'rO shoot that damned lanke,
officer; now loose my bride or III
shoot you" And the man raised his
pistol while he loaned with rage.
1--WE have surrendered, sir, and"
loose my bridle."
II will not, sir you shall not do
'Gol. Brown, for the third and last
time, ] tell you, loose my rein.
Drop that pistol, and the man,
thrown of his guard by quick move

had suddenly drawn.
