Cannon said he and Houk had said things in
the heat OF debate which they wished afterward
to be left out OF the Record. This had been
done in personal matters from time immem.

The Helena Republican Feuds.

WASHINGTON CITY, July 1.-THE fight over the
Helena postoffice is not in any immediate pros
peet of settlement James Blaine Walker is
right here on the ground, determined to stick it
out. 1t is understood that he as the support of
both of the United States senators, while Carter
is supposed to be somewhat careless in the mat
ter. Carter fixed up a deal to make Walker
superintendent of the assay Office, and make
Wheeler. who was booked for that job, postmas-
ter. Walker rejected the compromise, it being
beneath mis- dignity to accept any other position
than that for which he was booked. The pros
poets are that he will not be appointed. The
Helena Journal is opposed to him. and Russell
Harrison owns half interest in the paper. It
is not the presidents policy in this matter to ap-
point any one connected with either of the two
Republican papers in town postmaster, as the
other is sure to protest. Senator Power Walkers
strongest supporter, has been getting some nice
notices in the Post since Walker has been con-
nected with the paper. and that is said to be
rather tiresome TO Sanders, who was also
Walkers supporter.

DAYTON NEWS.
Bonds for Water-Works voted-Tacoma
Militia Company Challenged.


DAYTON, July 15.-The city election held
Monday passed off quietly although the ques-
tion of bonding the city in the sum of s55 900 for
the purpose of putting in new system of
water-works was before the PEOPLE, and quite
feeling had been stirred up on the subject before
election day. Bslloting was done under the
Australian system, and Ii was the unanimous
sentiment that the system is q great mprove-
ment over the old method of peddling tickets
Besides, when a man goes to make out his
ticket he is not bo hered by either the candi-
dates or his friends. and can collect his
thoughts sufficiently so that he can vote intelli-
gently. The city papers have for some time past
been advocating the need of q good water sys-
tenn, as under the present inadequate supply
furnished by private corporation the town is at
the mercy of a fire should one get good start
But on Monday this question was decided most
emphatically in favor of a good system, the
bonds carrying by q majority of 243. This is
equal to six to one In favor of the water-works

ITALIAN SLAVES IN AMERICA.
House Committee Learns How Padrones
Rob the He1ots.

WASHINGTON CITY, July 1.-THE House COM
mitiee on immigration today heard a statement
by Dr. Verdi, Of this city, himself q native of
Italy. upon the subject of the padrone system.
His statement was mainly in refutation of those
made by preceding witnesses respecting the
system of Italian slave labor in this country.
He said he had lived forty years in the United
ates, and never yet found an Italian laborer
who worked under q padrone. Italians were
not fools. and were not to be gulled SO easily
into surrcndering themselves voluntarily into
slavery. If the Italian government appointed q
commission to examine the immigration sys-
tenn. and as a result law was passed
which, while recognizing personal rights
guarded against unrestricted immigration
assisted by unworthy persons for person al gain,
q prohibition was placed upon the emigration
OF any class OF persons. whose immigration
confiicted with the laws of the country to which
they sought to 60. Italy needed all her citizens,
and was doing all she could to keep them. As
a matter of fact, they are good citizens, on ac-
count Of their sobriety, intelligence and skill.
The Italians in New York are not fair samples
Representative Oates, who was a member of
the Ford committee of the last congress, said he
had little doubt that the Italian restriction law
cited by DR.. Verdi which has not been in opera
tion before this year, will be of great benefit in
preventing the immigration of an undesirable
element

Debate on Irrigation Survey-NO Prog
ress Is Made.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 1.-THE Senate re-
sumed consideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. the pending question being on the
amendment 10 add 10 the ap oropriation of $780,
COO for Topographic survey provision that half
that sum be expended west of the 10lst merid.
ian, and that the act of October, 1885. reserving
irrigxble lands, be repealed. Call continued his
argument of yesterday against the amendment
He argued in favor of continuance OF the irri-
cation surveys, and said that all the irrigation
schemes on large scale that have been sue
cesful have been established by the government
The repeal OF the irrigation law would, Call
said. open that vast area OF arid lands of 200 900
square miles to the operations of foreign syndi-
Gates, who would seize much OF it under the
desert land and timber land laws, and the peo-
pie would be deprived of their use and occu-
pancy.
Moody argued In favor OF the amendment
He spoke of its transcendent Importance to the
people of South Dakota. He ridiculed the pre-
tensions of Major Powell, and spoke of him as q
tycoon of many tales" who knew as much
about the arid lands of the West as he did
about the mountains of the moon, and not one
whit more. The region in which he Moody
lived and for a hundred miles west, which
Major Powell designated as arid land, was as
fine an agricultural country as the sun ever
shone upon. There was not one acre of desert
land in it, and it was as well watered as any
part OF New England or as the state of New
York. He denied, however, that these lands
were Withdrawn from settlement under the con-
struction given to the irrigation act, If the peo-
pie of South Dakota would make themselves
heard by congress.
Reagan spoke in opposition to the amend.
ment and in favor of continuing the irrigation
survey. Without finishing his remarks he
yielded the floor for motion to adjourn.
No progress having been made with the BILL
Allison offered a resolution providing that 1t
shall be in order at any time to move that the

LAND GRANT FORFEIT.
House Passes Bill to Recover
Unearned Sections.
SENATE MEASURE AMENDED.
Railroads Lose Area Through Which
Track Is Not Built.
Title to Other Tracts Not Confirmed
Senate Transacts No Business-En-
gineer's Estimate of Money Needed
for Washington Rivers and Harbors.

WASHINGTON CITY. July 1.-THE land for.
feitnre bill finally passed the House today, and
1t goes to the Senate for conference.
Senator Power received kilograms today from
his constituents: asking whether the bill con-
hrmed the Northern Pacific grant along the line
OF the road now completed. The Democrats
have attempted to give this construction to the
BILL but no such provision exists. The entire
attack made against the bill was IN the ground
that it did not forfeit all Of the Northern Pacific
grant back to Bismarck. Such bill will never
pass congress.
There was a proposition today that this bill
should contain provision that the courts
should pass upon al the Northern Pacific lands
before they were either confirmed or declared
forfeited. This was opposed by Dunnell of Min
nesota, who claimed that it would be g.eat in.
justice to the settlers to make them wait five or
more years for the courts to pass upon the
question of title.
Hermann of Oregon offered an amendment to
the forfeiture bill, which was adopted. provid
ing that the settlers who had gone on the rail-
road lands intending to purchase in good faith
from the railroad company should be allowed to
acquire from the government $50 acres OF the
land purchased at s1.25 per acre
