It's hard lines when a man has to
go to Jail for taking an overcoat off a
tin dummy ON a cold day and covering
his own freezing bones with it. That's
what happened to John Brown in
Hoboken yesterday. John was walk
ing down Washington street, his
stomach glued to his backbone and
his backbone frozen by the cold. He
saw that tin dummy, with no vitals,
all nicely covered up with thick
overcoat. Abrahams had put that
dummy out there. Abraharns is a
elothisr. and he put that dummy GOV :
cred with warm coat out for bait.
He thought it would catch some fell
low who had no coat, but had the
price.
Brown had no coat. neither did he
have the price, but he caught it and
Abrahams caught him. Now isn't
ADrahams just as guilty for putting
temptation in Browns way as Brown
il for yielding to the temptation that
Abrahams put in his way.

THE sUNDnx CIVIL BILL.

House Will Accept Survey and Arid
Land Amendments.
WASHINGTON CIry, Aug. 21.-The North
western senator's are feeling quite eiated
tonight over tine probable agreement OF the
conference committees on the sundry civil
bill upon the amendment OF the Senate In
regard to surveys, ana the repeal
of the arid land withdrawal act
of 1883. The 100000 appropriated for
surveys OF public lands is retained In the
bill, being a much larger appropriation
than has been given for this purpose IN
many years. The repeal OF the arid
land withdrawal act is agreed to. with
a proviso that no man shall take
more than $50 acres OF land within thar
country designated as arid. This reduces
the amount which one man can take under
the land act one-half. while the settlers cam
not exercise the right OF home
stead. presumption and timber.culture
laws as in other parts OF
the country, as the bill now pending in the
Senate repeats the timber culture and pre-
emption laws. The provision reducing the
minimum OF lands to be taken to 800 acres
will not work any hardships. The main
fight made by the senators from all
the repeal of the arid land withdrawal, this
is decided setback for Powell, of the geo.
logical survey. whose friends in the House
made vigorous fight for him. In fact the
delay on the agreement to the sundry bill
has been almost alone on the proposition
to retain the obnoxious law on the statute
books, and to give Powell 100000 for con-
tinuing the survey. This latter
. sum has been entirely stricken out,
and Powell is given $4,000 to con-
tinue the Typographical survey. for
which he was using the money appropriated
for irrigation surveys to carry it out. OF
this latter sum $150. 900 must be expended
west of the 10th meridian. The senators
who have made the hard fight for the re-
peal of the withdrawal act, Messrs.
Moody, Power and Allen, of
the new states, having given
the matter their personal attention, are
quite well satisfied with the result. Sena-
tor Casey says that so far as North Dakota
is concerned that state is restored to its
normal condition, besides having larger
appropriation for surveys.

The Lively Flea.

The flea, which people who come to live
in Washington City are apt to complain of,
is very interesting sort of bug, to any
one that knows how to appreciate him.
He is actually degraded wingless fiy-a
case of evolution backward-and he Jumps
SO remarkably for the simple reason that
leaping is his means of self-preservation,
and the fess that jumped the best have
survived, the power being thus developed
progressively through countless genera
tons. A man who could jump as well as
a flea in proportion to his size would think
nothing of leaping from the White house
to the capitol at one skip. If you will
examine fea's hind-leg under
microscope, and observe the
tremendous muscles packed away
in it, you will understand why the
creature can jump so. There are ever SO
many kinds of feas-all quite distinct-the
dog flea, the cat flea, the human flea, the
chicken flea. the squirrel flea and countless
others. In the tropics dwells giant flea,
ten times as big as the ordinary ones.
There is flea called the "chigoe" in South
America and the West Indies, which lays
its eggs under the toenails of human be-
ings, boring hole for the purpose. If the
insect and its eggs are not removed infla.
nation results, and the foot may be lost
blood-polsoning even may set in and death
result. In those countries many negro
women follow the business of professional
chlgoe extractors, using q long needle as
the surgical instrument.

MANAGER SMITH OUT.
Eastern Man Takes Charge of
the Union Pacific.
M'NEILL. LATE OF ST. JOSEPH.
MT. Smith Wanted an Easier Place. He
Says, and WIN Go to the Oregon
Improvement Company.

PORTLAND. Aug. q. General Manager
Mcneil, of the St Joe & Grand Island
railway, is in the city in company with
Vice. President w. H. Holcomb, of the
Union Pacific. His object in visiting
Portland is to arrange for his succession to
G. J. Smith as manager of the Union Pa
cific. A reporter sought Mr.. Smith this
evening and he corroborated the statement
or Eastern dispatches that he was to be
succeeded by McNeiIl, of the st. Joe &
Grand Island railroad.
Mr.. Smith says that his position is re-
sponsible one with the Oregon Improve
ment Company. He has long been desir-
Gus of securing position that will not
require the great amount of exertion now
devolving upon him. Accordingly some
four weeks since he rendered his resigna-
ton. Since that time the Union Pacific
managers have been casting about for a
successor to him. They have finally de-
cided upon Mcneil, who will succeed to
the new position September 1.
Mr., Smith said he could not discuss the
bearings of his new position. as great
many important questions were dependent
on it. He concluded the conversation by
assuring the reporter of his untiring inter-
est in newspaper men and their reports of
current business. He would not say
whether he is to be IN Elijah Smiths priv
ate office or not

QUAY WINS, AFTER ALE.
Senate Caucus Decides to Let the Elec-
ton Bill Go Over.

Senate Caucus Decides to Let the Elec-
tion Bill Go Over.
WASHINGTON CRY, Aug 21.-The senate
did not consider Quay's resolution to shut
out the election bill or any of its amend
ments this morning The fact was sur
prise to the galleries, but it was no surprise
to Quay and his followers. nor to those
senators who are opposed to them on
this proposition. 1t was due to an under
standing which had been reached by the
Republicans that it was better to settle the
differences in hequiet of conference than
on the floor of the Senate. This confer
ence had been agreed upon for tonight,
and it came off according to schedule at
the residence of Senator Mcmillan, and 1t
was more secret than the executive session
of the Senate.
When the Quay resolution waited to
come up this morning the outsiders who
favor passing the election bill started the
cry that Quay had been beaten. They
said the astute man had for once
been forced to lie down.
This was not so, Mr..
Quay knew what strength he had when he
agreed to let his resolution 60 over, and
this was developed at the caucus tonight.
The Hoar amendment to consider the elec-
ton bill and other propositions of like
intent could not be agreed to.
Mr.. Quay's proposition in substance was
agreed to. 1t was proposed to pass the
tariff bill, let the election bill go over till the
winter session, dispose of the other
measures which the Quay resolution
as amended provides for, and go home.
The action of the conference may be made
known in the Senate tomorrow. or it may
wait until SATURDAY..

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
No Action Taken on Quay's Resolution
The Tariff Debate.

The Tariff Debate.
WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 21.-The Senate
this morning. after spending some time
considering Plhmbs resolution for prohib-
iting liquor selling and drinking in the
Senate wing of the capitol, took up the
tariff bill. Nothing was said about Quay's
order of business resolution, the debate on
which was begun yesterday.
The pending question on the tariff bill
was McPherson's amendment referring to
table knives, steels, butcher knives, etc. ;,
and imposes compound duties on them
according to value classifcations The
amendment is to be substitute for these
duties at uniform rate of IS per cent. ad
yalorem.
The bill was temporarily laid aside and
the conference report on the bill for an in
crease in the clerical force in the pension
office was presented and agreed to.
Evarts presented a message from the
members of the Grant Monument Associa-
ton in New York. protesting against the
proposed removal of Grants remains to
Washington City.
Consideration of the tariff bill was re-
sumed, and the pending amendment was
rejected.
Mcpherson moved to amend the para
graph referring to files and rasps by strik-
ing out the duties and classification by
lengths and inserting % per cent. ad val
orem. Without voting on the amendment,
the Senate went into executive session and
soon adjourned.

Time Dried His Tears.
St. Louis Republic.

The late James B. Eads was passing up
the Mississippi river one day and stopped
at a backwoods store on the banks of the
river, kept by an old German. The pro.
prietor was at work chopping wood, but
evidently in great grief. Tears rolled down
his cheeks and he was sobbing as if his
heart would break. His wife, he explained
in broken dialect, was very ill, very Ill. Mr..
Eads consoled him as best he could and
left. Returning six weeks later he found
the erstwhile heart-broken Teuton as live
and clipper as squirrel.
"How's your wife?' asked Mr.. Eads.
''Oh, she vas fine," answered the Ger
man. with q broad smile.
"Why. thought she was very sick?n
'Oh, dot vas de odder yun, replied the
happy bridegroom. as he set up the drinks.
