Federal Building Bill.
JUDGE BREWER is CONFIRMED.
Senator MOrgan's Resolution for the RecOgni-
ton of the United States of Brazil
House and Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-[Special telegram
to THE HERALD. The special meeting Of
the Senate committee on public buildings,
which Mr.. Stanford called this morning to
consider the bill appropriating 100000 for
the new federal buildings at Salt Lake, ad-
iourned without action, owing to the I'M
satisfactory manner in which the bill was
drawn. The cause of this lies not with the
gentlemen who originally presented the
bill, but with the supervising architect, to
whom it was referred for revision. This
gentleman made the conditions attaching
to the purchase of site so numerous and
so arbitrary in their character as
to meet with little favor with the
Senate committee when the bill came be-
fore them this morning. 1t was referred,
therefore, for amendment to a sub-com
mittee of which Senator Spooner is chair
man. The disposition to vote the appro-
priation on the part of the Senate com
mittee is very general and it is not improb-
able that favorable report may be made to
the Senate within the next week.
Mr.. Game introduced bill of the same
character in the House to-day and there,
as in the Senate, the measure will be
pushed forward as rapidly as possible.

DENVER, Dec. ia special from Wal
senburg, Colo, says: A shocking accident
occurred on the Denver & Rio Grande road
last night, four miles west of here. by
which an engineer and fireman were in
stantly killed, and large amount of prop
erty destroyed. A freight train left La
Veta made up of two engines, twenty-five
cars of cattle, ten freight cars, caboose and
an engine in the rear. The train soon
broke into three parts, and then there
began a race for life, as the
middle section was loose from
the caboose with no brakeman
on it, The engines ran about three miles
at the rate of over a mile minute on a
down grade, ninety feet to the mile, and
here the middle section, twenty-four cars,
which was loaded with cattle and lumber,
overlook them. The front engine escaped
but the second was instantly enveloped in
a great mass of flying wreckage which
buried the engineer and fireman beneath,
killing them instantly. Portions of the
lumber of the flying cars were thrown over
two hundred feet when the collision
occurred. Seven cars of cattle and
eight cars of lumber were piled up in
the wreck and nearly all killed and horri-
bly, mangled. William Gleyer, the dead
engineer, leaves wife and one child, who
reside in Pueblo. Thomas Baker, fireman,
single, also lived in Pueblo. w. H. Fer
ringer and d. w. Edmonson, both brake
men, were severely injured and were taken
to the company's hospital at Pueblo.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
CHICAGO. Dec. 1S.-Ye sterday the first
approach to obtaining the consensus of
opinion among the most prominent Irish
Americans throughout the country as to
the Cronin verdict was possible. Dis
patches from various cities developed de-
cldely interesting comments. From Lin
coin, Nebraska, the headquarters of the
Irish National league of America, came the
expression that is accepted here as prob
able the most typical of the feeling of
the Irish race as whole. The message of
President John Fitzgerald somehow re-
called to many the force and brevity of
General Grant, when the sold commander
felt that an occasion was historic Presi-
nent Fitzgerald, when asked his opinion,
simply said: 'tIf the law is satisfied. /
am"
John P Sutton, secretary of the National
league, said: '"rhe jury seem to have acted
conscientiously in this matter They have
given the evidence much thought and at
tention, and l have no doubt it is Just
verdict. The acquittal clears up all charges
against the Clan-na- Gael conspiracy in the
matter The motive must have been per
sonal one with these other parties 1t
seems to me that the three who received
life sentences had better be satisfied and
not seek a new trial in face of the strong
prejudice that is said to exist in Chicago.
They might fare worse next time"
Further than this neither Mr.. Fitzgerald
nor Mr.. Sutton at present had anything to
say.
John Boyle O'Reilly, of Boston, expires
ident of the Land league in America, said:
sit is shocking such verdict as that.
These men are either guilty or they are
not. If they are guilty of such crime as
that charged against them they should
hang. That is the Illinois penalty, 1 be-
lieve, for murder. IfFthey are not guilty
they should go free. Such a verdict is a
supreme and a shocking conclusion"

GRAVE CAUSE FOR ANXIETY

exists when the kidneys lose their activity.
Prompt measures should be taken to renew
it, otherwise Bright's disease, diabetes, or
some other organic trouble is to be appre-
hended as a consequence. Hostetter's
stomach bitters is most desirable diuretic,
as its stimrlative effect upon these organs
never crosses the, border line of safety and
merges into irritation, as do many stimu-
lants used for the same purpose by the
careless and uninstructed. The stimuli of
commerce, fiery and unmedicated, are not
suitable corrective agencies in case like
this. They excite without producing a
permanently desirable result. The 'just
medium between them and an Intellectual
diuretic is the Bitters, which is also spe-
cific for malarial complaints, dyspepsia,
constipation and rheumatism.

RAILROAD NOTES.
Extension of Lines North and South
Personal and General.

The new quarters for the Union Pacific
railroad officials have not been completed
and the Office will not be removed for few
days.
j. @ Barlow, chief engineer in charge of
the southern extension of the Utah Central
lines, is expected to return to-day from a
trip to Puget Sound, when it is expected
that more active steps will be taken in
pushing the grade.
The Rio Grande Western railway has
issued circular announcing that holiday
rate of one fare for the round trip will be
made between all stations on the line. The
rate goes into effect on December "a, %, 81,
and January l, tickets good returning to
and including January 3, 1890.
Thelocation for the new Union Pacific
freight depot grounds has not yet been
definitely settled. Rmor has the location
fixed at various points from the old Jordan
river race track to mile southwest from
that point, BUTT is practically settled that
the site will be in the western part of the
city not far from the Jordan river
At a meeting of the stockholders of the
Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern rail
road, recently held in this city, the articles
of consolidation were so amend as to permit
of the extending the line to the National
Park from some point in Idaho. The gen
eral supposition is that work will be begnn
on the extension at an early adate as
possible.

that it would only be matter of brief
time ere the Burlington would commence
the construction OF the new line. 1t is a
well known fact that this road has for some
time been reaching for northwestern
outlet. Now that high officials of the Rio
Grande and Midland admit that the Bur
lington will use the Denver Short Line
tracks to reach Ogden, it is more than
probable that the survey now being made
for the Northwest will bear the fruit of
early construction. When completed it
will give the Burlington the much desired
reach for the trade of Seattle and Van
couver by aclose possible alliance with the
Northern Pacific. Both these lines are
friendly and will work for mutual inter
ests. That the Burlington is ambitious
none will deny. The familiar trade mark
of the owl with both eyes wide open, used
for years on Burlington calendars, is espe-
cially applicablesto the sleeplessIenergy with
which that road is pushing western extern

from Kelley, which began by saying that
while the work of graduating his provis-
ional engine had not progressed as rapidly
as he had expected, yet no serious obstacles
had presented themselves, there were none
affecting the principle or 'sessence" of the
work. 'sThe board of directors of the COM
pany," continued Kelley, "has witnessed
the operation of the provisional engine,
while have been engaged in the gradua-
ton of many of its number. have no
doubts as to the success of the engine.
While cannot name the time within which
the graduation will be completed, 1 can say
that it cannot be protracted period. When
such graduations are finished an engine,
one or more of the special size or form best
adapted for commercial purposes, will at
once be ordered and the building of them
win then be merely matter of mechanical
skill ),

WAS HE A JEW9
The Discussion in London over the Question
Of Robert Browning's Ancestry. 4


Of Robert Browning's Ancestry. !
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. |
LONDON, Dec. 1S.-[By telegram to the
N. Y. Herald. One of that large class Of
persons in England who have nothing to
do but to write to newspapers, asks the
question, "Was Browning Jew?" The
Pail Mall Gazette says the question was sub
mitted by one Of the best known literary
men, who was on terms of close acquaint-
anceship with Browning for forty years.
The Pau Mall Gazette adds: ''For score of
years and more it has been stated with no
little persistence and circumstantial evil
dence, such as it is, has been brought to
bear out the statement In the first place,
the fact tnat his uncle occupied a position
of considerable Importance at Rothschild's
is looked upon as prima facie evidence,
as in those days the elder Rothschild pre-
ferred to give positions of exceptional trust
to men of his own faith. Again, the Christ
ian or first name of Browning's uncle was
Reuben and his mothers name was Sari-
anna, both of them cognOmens of undoubted
JEWS origin, while the name of Browning
Is said to be not uncommon among Jews.
Again, one of the favorite topics of the
poet was of an Israelitish character, as
will be readily recalled by all students of
his works. On the other hand, DIR. Furni-
vail has declared Robert Browning's fam
lily to be Of Dorsetshire origin"

we wanted to go to the trouble of appeal
ing, but we won't fght-it in the higher
