so much IS heard in praise of Electric Bitters.
So many feel they owe their restoration to
health, to the use Of the Great Alternative and

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, August 22d.-In the House to.
day Henderson OF Illinois submitted to the
House the report of the committee on Senate
amendments 10 the river aud harbor bill, rec
ommendiDg non concurrence in these amend
ments and agreeing to the conference asked by
the senate.
Kerr raised the point of order that the amend
ment must first be considered in a Committee
of the Whole.
This point was sustained by the Speaker, and
the House resolved itself into Committee of
the Whole for the consideration of the meas
ure.
Henderson said the Senate amendments in
creased the appropriation carried by the bill
about s., COO 000 Il was this increase which the
committee asked the House to con-concur in.
After concurriug in about half of the Senate
amendments the committee rose.
Mason OF Illinois, rising TO question OF priv
ilege, said some days ago resolution had been
adopted, alleging that a certain gentleman had
been fraudulently using the mails to create a
sentiment in favor of the Conger land bill and
calling on the Postoffice Department for in
formation on the subject. The resolution had
been sent to the Postoffice Department with a
request that papers in regard to the matter be
transmitted promptly. This had not been
done. He had called at the department several
times and had been informed that probably the
papers would not be sent up till Saturday night.
Then they would be of no use. The previous
question on the bill was ordered at clock to-
morrow.
His charge was that improper influence had
been brought to bear upon department OF the
Government to retain certain papers in its pos
session. He moved that a committee OF three
members be appointed TO wait on the Post
master General and ask that the papers be fur
nished IN time to be sed in the debate.
Before any action was taken the House took
recess.
At the evening session the House passed
thirty three pension bills including one grant

1t is rumored that General Manager Nc
Neil, of the st. Joseph and Grand Island
Railway, who is now in Portland, Or, will

Smith, it is stated, will resign to accept a
position with Elijah Smith.
The Indian potentate Maharajah Dhulop
Sing, who formerly lived in England and
took a leading part in court receptions and
other functions, and whose son is an officer
in the English army, has abiectly apollo
gized to the Queen for the hostile course
pursued by him since 1886. Her Majesty
has accepted the apology and condoned the
offepse. The Maharsjah is recovering from
a severe attack of paralysis, and has come
to England to seek relief.
There is intense excitement in Berlin
over the conduct of Colonel Schoeller,
commanding the Ninth Regiment of In
fantry, who yesterday compelled his men
to march from Wurzburg to Market Brett
with the mercury at 90. The men were in
heavy marching order, with full field
equipment, winter overcoats and tents.
Before Market Brett was reached, dis.
tance of thirty kilometers, 400 were COM
pelled to leave the ranks. OF those now
undergoing treatment fifty are thought to
be in dying condition.
The Oakland Brewery has at last been
swallowed up by the English syndicate
after holding out stubbornly. In May,
1887, Fritz Boehmer and Carl G. Peterson
Of Alameda entered into contract with
Joe Dieves and Charles Kramm to pur-
chase the brewery within six months,
agreeing to pay for it the sum of 100000.
For some reason the contract was never
carried out. When the syndicate was
formed it tried to get the Oakland Brewery
for the sum for which it had been agreed
to sell to Boehmer & Peterson, but the pro-
prietors refused to sell for less than $780,
900, and finally the syndicate has come to
the brewers terms. The transfer has been
made and the Court will be asked to con-
firm the sale. The raise of $4,000 in price
inside of one year is considered fortunate
one for the owners of the brewery.

He Understands Now Why the Conven-
ton Nominated Him.
WASHINGTON, August 22d.-The arrival
to-day of the San Francisco papers dated
August 10Th, conveyed the first full account
of the Republican State Convention that
has as yet been received in Washington.
Mr.. Morrow was surprised and gratified
to learn that the nomination of Congress
man at Large was in consequence of a
resolution reported by the Committee on
Rules, in arranging the order of business.
From the meager dispatches received here,
announcing that Morrow and Campbell
were nominated Congressmen-at-Large and
the Convention adjourned" it seemed that
the Convention, after nominating Mr..
Markham, had in an impulsive manner
wound up the proceedings by making
straw" nominations, but it now appears to
Californians here that the Convention acted
upon dispatch sent from here. purporting
to be official information, to the effect that
under the present apportionment Cali
fornia's population would entille her to
two additional Representatives. In view
of these facts, the action of the misinformed
Convention in making nominations at
large can only be regarded as compliment
ary to the nominees.
Mr.. Morrow is free to confess that when
he was interviewed by a California Asso-
ciated Press reporter. he did not under
stand that his nomination was the result
of careful deliberation by the Committee
on Rules. He was very sorry and indig-
nant that the Convention had been misled
by an untruthful Washington dispatch
purporting to come as official information.
California is only entitled to six Repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Morrow is of the opinion
that the number of Representatives will
not be increased by the new apportion-
ment, as the House of Representatives. as
now constituted, is too large and too un-
wieldly body. 1t is the general opinion
here, and Mr.. Morrow concurs that the
Apportionmeut Act cannot possibly be
passed before the November election.
