PUBLIC LAND SURVEY.

Senate Allows 5000 900 - Nothing for
Irrigation Surveys.
WASHINGTON CRY, July 16.-There was
happy lot of new senators today when
the public land survey appropriation of
$500, ,000 went through the Senate. An
amendment offered by Senator Pierce was
adopted allowing survey of lands SO that
the grants to the states could be selected
which had not been previously settled
upon. There may be opposition to the
amendment in the House. but the Senate
conferees will stand by their amendment.
The discussion of irrigation in the Senate
has SO prejudiced the Senate against the
whole system that it is very doubtful if
any appropriation for any kind of irriga-
ton can be obtained at the present session
of congress. There are very few supporters
of the Powell scheme left, and lis now prob
able that even should a point of order be
made against the amendment repeating the
withdrawal act of 1888 and sustained by
the chair, the decision of the chair will be
voted down by the House. When the facts
are shown that one-third of the United
States is withdrawn from settlement the
senator's recognize that great injustice
has been done. The feeling now is that
the states themselves should regulate their
own irrigation matters as they see tit.

THE FIGHT AGAINST POWELL.
Montana Senator Demands Investigation
OF the Geological Survey.

OF the Geological Survey.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 16.-Senator
Power, of Montana, today opened up the
fight from the West by introducing reso-
luton requiring the secretary of the in
terror to furnish the Senate with all in
formation regarding the geological survey.
The assumption of the resolution is that
Powell has not conducted the geological
survey in business-like manner. Senator
Power inquiries into the duties OF the ex-
ecutive officer, w. A. Crofutt, and wants
to know what authority there was for es-
tablishing bureau OF ethnology, and why
Powell was appointed director. He in
quires into the disposition OF appropria-
tions, who are down on the rolls of the
geological survey, by whom appointed, and
the character of the work they perform !;
in fact, it is the intention OF the resolution
to ascertain all there is in the geolog ical
survey. 1t has been alleged that there are
many broken-down relatives of senators
and representatives in the geological sur
vey receiving large salaries, and with this
kind of a pull Powell manages to keep 60
ing.
The Western people propose, if possible,
to cause an investigation. The senators
from the new states are behind the move
ment, with several others, who are just
finding out what the geological survey is
doing

GENERAL cLARKsoN's REPORT.
Greater Increase OF Postoffices Than
ANY Year Before.

Greater Increase Of Postoffices Than in
Any Year Before.
WASHINGTON CITY, July 16-A statement
of the operations of the office of the first
assistant postmaster general for the fiscal
year ended June 30. 1890, shows that the
total number of transactions III the ap-
pointment division was % ,26l, an average
of nearly 2.000 per month. or so per day.
OF these there were 4 .422 postoffices estab-
hshed, 12i discontinued and 1.I79 changes
in name and site. In fourth-class post
offices there were 9,c56 appointments on
account of designations, 5. .99) on account of
removals and 63S on account of death of
the postmaster. In presidential offices
there were 253 appointments on account of
designations, $40 on account of expiration
of com missions, $50 on account of re-
moyals, 81 on account of death of the post
masters, and 131 on account of the offices
becoming presidential or removals. In all
about 900 were made on the report of in
spectors.
The whole number OF postoffices in opera
ton July l, 1890, was g., 400, against IS, 800
in 1859, 81 ,376 in 1885, So, ,l57 in 1857 and 40 :
OIL in 1850. The increase during the last
year is the largest in the history of the Uni

New YORK. July 16.-The World says:
The sugar trust people and legal auEhori-
ties of this state have buried the hatchet.
Such was the story circulated through
Wall street late yesterday afternoon, and
investigation proved it had some founda-
ton. In fact, John D. Searles, treasurer
and general manager OF the trust, admitted
that his lawyers and the attorney general
of the state had had several conferences.
Mr.. Searles, however. said that no details
had been agreed upon. but did not deny
that reorganization will be made under the
laws of this state, instead of under the
Connecticut or New Jersey charter. This.
If true, means that hereafter the trust or a
new corporation will not be bothered with
lawsuits. and will pay taxes into the treas
ury of New York.

Three Mufilated Victims Found at Lake

Spreads Alarm Through Minnesota.

RED Vine, Mimi, July 16-The doleful
tolling of church bells may still be heard in
this city today. the list of recovered dead
from the disaster having been greatly in
creased since yesterday. Eight bodies
were brought up and one sent over to
Lake City, ana tonight another boat 10 ad
arrived. The scene at the shore, the disas-
ter having occurred two miles this side of
Lake City, in Goodhue county, is q sad
one. When the first bodies were recov-
cred Sunday night and Monday morning,
the faces were calm and peaceful, and
showed little or no signs of having come to
sudden death. Not so with those found
yesterday and today. Ali were bloated
and blac kened beyond recognition, so that
the clothing and papers were the only way
for relatives to claim their dead. The
warm weather and the shallowness of the
water, together with the fact that several
big steamer have sent up heavy swells as
they passed up the river, have brought the
bodies to the surface quickly. Patrolling
boats tow the bodies ashore, where they
are identified as soon as possible, then
boxed and shipped to this city.
In all, twenty-five more bodies were res
cued today, making total of ninety. 1t
40 OSAACvSo thos iIOiA tcA w uleccA oIc still
missing
One hundred bodies have been recovered
and it is thought that abont dozen bodies
are still in the lake.
Engineer Sparks, of the Sea Wing, to-
night entered an emphatic denial of the re-
port that he, the captain or any of the crew
had been drinking. Friends of Sparks and
Captain Wetheren are also indignant at
the charge of drunkenness. The reported
arrest of Captain Wetheren is not false. A
man who cams tonight from Diamond
Bluffs, where the captains home is situated,
says that the sheriff took Wetheren to st.
Paul this afternoon. having arrested him
at the instance of United States officials.
MINyEAPoLds, July i6.-Searchers found
three more missing bodies of victims of the
Lake Gervaise cyclone this morning. They
were close together in marshy portion Of
the lake, 200 feet from the shore. The
bodies of Charles Schurmeir and Rev. M.
P. Faefle were considerably mutilated, but
that of Mrs. j. III. Schurmeir was not dis
figured.

THE ARKANSAS CONTEST.
Breckinrfdce Was Ncighbor and Friend
OF the Murdered Powell.

OF the Murdered Powell.
WASHINGTON CITy. July 16.-Representa-
tive Breckiaridge of Arkansas made an ar
gument in his own behalf today before the
House committee on elections, by reading
brief prepared by ex-Attor ney- General
Garland. This paper attacked the SUBJ
committee which visited Arkansas, for fall
ure to take the testimony preferred by
Breckenridge. as for instance in the case OF
ballot-boxes where the count was impugned.
1t set forth further that the record utterly
failed to show that Breckenridge was
not elected, but on the contrary
it showed that he was elected.
Respecting Cayton's murder it was
perfectly clear that nothing more could
have been done to find the murderer than
had been done by the officers and people of
the state. After he had concluded the brief
Breckinridge proceeded to supplement it
by long statement He had known Clay
ton twenty years. They had been neigh
bors and friends. They canvassed
their district together. Their re lations
showed that there was nothing in
the charges made by Judge Mcclure of the
terrible persecution of the Republicans in
his district. Clayton's death had been as
fearful surprise to him (Breckinridge) as
it was to all the people OF Arkansas. He
believed the Plummerville ballot-box was
stolen by Republicans. The apparent
object was to hinge upon the stealing
contest in case the House of Representa-
tives was Republican. Breckinridge in the
course OF his talk turned his attention TO
Judge Mcclure and scored that gentleman
severely.
Judge Mcclure closed the argument in
brief speech devoid OF personalities and
treating almost altogether of the legal
aspect of the case. He argued in brief that
as the evidence showed that, the ballots
really cast were not preserved it was COM
petent to go behind and take proof of the
votes.
