HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, January 17.-After the
transaction of unimportant business,
the House resumed consideration o
the Territorial bills.
Mcdonald, of Minnesota, though,
that all the Territories referred to in
the omnibus bill were ready Cor adj
mission.
Adams, of Illinois, characterized the
omnibus bill as transparent sub:er-
fuge. Under it the people of the Ter
ritories would not obtain single sub
stantial advantage which they would
not obtain if it were not passed, while
the defeat of the Senate bill would have
the practical effect of continuing for
one year the outrage on the people of
Dakota.
Grosvenor, of Ohio, said the OBJECT of
the omnibus bill was to delay the ad-
mission Of Dakota. Admit Dakota
under the Senate bill: then consider
the claims of the other Territories.
Symes, of Colorado, and Springer, of
Illinois, had little tilt over the latter s
alleged intention to move the previous
question on the omnibus bill.
On motion of Clifford. OF Dakota, the
amendment was adopted granting $780,
600 acres for the support Of
AN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
in the State of Dakota. The Senate
bill granted ninety sections of land.
An amendment was adopted providing
that lands sold for common school pur-
poses shall not be sold for less than
$40 per acre. The salary of the district
Judge was reduced from So 600 to So 500
| date for an election to be held to decide
the question of the acceptance of the
boundaries and name of the new State.
On motion of Clifford, the amendme mt
was agreed to providing that at this
election State officers be elected, and
also two members of Congress-
The reading of the Senate bill having
been completed, Springer moved to
strike out all after the enacting clause
and substitute
THE OMNIBUS BILL.
Burrows, of Michigan, raised point
of order against the substitute.
The Speaker sustained the point of
order and ruled the substitute out.
Springer then moved to strike out
the enacting clause and insert House
bill 1866, and insert certain amend
ments.
The speaker ruled this not in order.
All the gentlemen had right to do
was to offer substitute for House bill
1866.
Mr.. Springer thereupon offered as
substitute House bill 1866, which was
then received.
Springer asked unanimous consent
for the previous substitute offered by
him, one providing for the division of
Dakota to be considered in its stead.
Speaker pro tenn Cox submitted the re-
quest, and there being no objection, the
subsequent question arose as to whether
this consent had been granted. but no
record of the transaction appeared in
the official notes. Much confusion en-
sued, but finally consent was given.
Mcdonald, of Minnesota, then offered
bis substitute for Springer's motion.
7 his substitute embodies the principal
features of the omnibus BILL except that
it provides for the immediate admission
of South Dakota. Pending its reading
the House adjourned.

THE COMET.
Johnson CITY. Tenn. Oct, "a, 1889.

RAILROADS are building all over the
South, and Johnson City is getting its
share. The town has grown to such
proportions and is SO advantageously
located geographically, that railroad
companies are anxious to build to it,
but they are not more anxious than
Johnson City is to have them do So
The citizens are alive to their interest
and know from actual experience what
value railroads are to a city. A few
months ago Johnson City voted $780,
900 to the Charleston, Cincinnati &
Chicago Railroad Company. To-day
two thousand men are at work on the
line in Washington county, and the 80
miles from here to Minneapolis are
covered with hands. The result is,
johnson City is alive. Real estate
commands a good price and sellsread-
lily. The merchants are doing twice
the business they did formerly and see
more dollars in a week now than they
used to in a month, Everybody is in
good spirits and not afraid to spend a
dollar. The result is, the town is pros
porous, factories are working overtime!
and new buildings are being built all
over the city. The Three C's is the
cause of this prosperity, and the growth
has really not begun.

Three Q. Notes.

A gang Of so negroes for the Thee
0's got off OHIO. | Monday
Several more carloads Of 6o-pound
steel rail arrived this week for the
Three C's.
Several carloads Of carts and mate
rial passed through the city Monday
for the Three C's. ltwas unloaded at
Piney Flats and Bristol and sent out
on the line.
Messrs. Kegley, Eversole & Co., who
have the contract for building the but
ments and culverts of Sections SO and
81, report that they are making good
progress, and that inside Of or about
the expiration OF four weeks their work
on the two sections will be completed,
j. G. Sullivan put force OF hands
at work on Section II last Saturday,
and has about 200 men on 1t by this
time. Mr.. Sullivan is now erecting a
camp on his work near Kingsport
When this is finished it will make four
in all he will have in operation. Three
of them are now crowded with labor
ers.
John Gates, the bridge contractor,
is building camp on his work be-
tween the Virginia State line and the
second crossing of the Watauga river.
He is now at work on the bridge over
the Watauga in this county. He has
had years OF experience in such work
and has made an enviable reputation
as a bridge builder.
1t is no uncommon sight to see
gangs of 80 or 40 men pass through
Johnson City almost every day, going
somewhere out on the line of the
Three C's to work. There need not be
ali idle man in the whole country for
miles around Johnson City, if he
wants to work. A gang passed through
the city Monday, each man carrying
q d sack of flour, frying-pan, blanket
and broadaxe. They were going out
into the Cash hollow to get out ties for
N. G. Scott & Co.
There are now more than 1000 men
at work on the 16 miles in Washington
county, and about one-half of the dis
lance is graded. The contractors have
been putting in good time, while the
weather would permit, and, if the pres
ent favorable weather lasts few weeks
longer, the grading will be finished be
fore Christmas. Some of the contract
ors who have heavy work are putting
in extr& time. w. Med. Burgin il
running force at night on his works
With the force organized as it is il
the county, there is no doubt about thu
road being completed, ready for track
: laying, by the first of January, 1890
With anything like favorable weather
Messrs. N G. Scott & Co. will have ne
trouble to get the track down in thu
proper time. With their machine
which will be here soon, they can la.
;, 2 miles of track day, if the road-bet
: is in good condition. The trestles ant
: bridges are being built, and, from
8 present indications, nothing will della,
the work in this county.

On several occasions THE COMET
has mentioned the fact that Western
Union telegraph Office was needed
here, but nothing has been done;
hence, this article. The Western
Union business is so great here that
the operator does not have time to de-
liver messages, and no messenger is
furnished, thus causing numerous and
well-iounded complaints. The oper-
ator cannot leave the office on account
Of the frequency of train orders, and
kilograms of the utmost Importance
are left for hours and sometimes for q
whole day undelivered. AS the mat
ter now stands, the railroad operator
does all the work and the railroad
company gets per cent. OF the W. U.
T. business. Last month this per cent.
amounted to enough to more than pay
the day and night operators. With
this business, the W. U. Company can
well afford to put in an Office, and
there should be no longer any delay
about doing So The people OF John
son City have u right to demand bet
ter accommodations from the compa.
ny, and the present arrangement is Ii
able to get the Western Union people
into trouble, and they will be called
upon to pay heavy damages for not
delivering kilograms.

formed n combination for the handling Of

tablished November II and passengers and
mail will run clear through from
Chicago to Portland and San Francisco,
making the time from Chicago to
Portland SO hours and from Chicago to
San Francisco SO hours. This will reduce
the time heretofore made on the Chicago &

Francisco y hours, the arriving time Of
the new train being 40 am. at Portland
and 10 40 am. at San Francisco instead If

A similar reduction of time on the east
