SENATE.

SENAIE.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The senate re-
sumed consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bill.
An amendment that provoked discus
sion was on increasing the item for sur
veys from 5000, 900 to $500, 900 and adding
the words, "one-half of which sum shall
be expended west of the 10lst meri-
dian," and so much of the act of Octo-
Der 2, 1888, entitled "Act making ap-
propriations for sundry civil expenses of
the government for the official year
ending June 80, 1889, as provides for
the selection and location of reservoirs
and canals upon public lands and reser-
vation OF city lands" is hereby repealed.
Provided that the reservoir and canal
sites heretofore located or selected shall
remain segregated and reserved from entry
or settlement until otherwise provided by
law.
Mr.. Spooner announced his intention
to vote for the amendment reported by
committee OF appropriation.
The cost of the surveys has been placed,
he said, at $7,000,000. His own opinion
was that if it was to 60 on the cost it would
be nearer $70,000,000. Under the con-
struction given to the act OF 1888 by the
interior department land which construc-
ton he endorsed as correct) lands have
been withdrawn from settlement covering
two-ffths of the area Of the United States
comprising 100000 square miles, or
50,000,000 acres. For what and for how
long were these lands withdrawn in order
that the government might have reser-
voir sites and canal sites marked out for
irrigating purposes? The Lord only knew
how long it would take to carry out that
plan. He thought that congress made a
great mistake when it appropriated sim
gle dollar for an irrigating survey and the
sooner it retraced the step the better it
would be for the people.
Mr.. Dawes from the committee on ap-
preparation reported the Indian appropri-
alton of $7,153,Sl1.
The discussion was resumed and Mr..
Platt argued in support Of the amend
ment and in the general defense of the
Desert land law, swamp land laws and
other land laws of the United States
He favored the repeal of the irrigation
law. lie SAID its retention meant that
not a single acre Of public land affected
by it would ever be entered by a home.

THE EXPENSE ACCOUNT.
Chairman Cannon Shows that the Surplus
will Meet the Pension Payments.

WASHINGTON, July 1s.--Mr. Cannon,
chairman of the house committee on ap-
propriations, emphatically denies that
the appropriations at this session for the
present fiscal year will exceed the rev.
enues. He estimates the appropriations
at $4,000, 900, and says: "The ordi-
nary revenues Of the government for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1890, are re-
ported by the treasury at $4O2,0S3, 900.
Under the existing laws there is no rea-
son to anticipate less sum from the
ordinary revenues during 1891. The
postal revenues for 1891 are estimated by
the postmaster general at 65,4l4,OO0,
making a total of $467, ,497, 900. Deduct
ing the aggregate appropfiations-$350,-
100000, there will be surplus of $1l7,-
407 900, which is more than ample to
meet the requirements of the new pen
sion law, and the reduction of taxation
from the enactment of Mckinley's bill is
estimated at $60,000,000."

Kidnapped Minnie smith.

They have had some interesting pro.
ceedings in Chicago over Minnie Smith,
the Moline girl sent by Judge Adams to
the Industrial school at Evanston. To-
days Inter Ocean says:
The trial of the habess corpus case of
VIM. Smith, of Utica, Kan. to recover
possession of his IL year old daughter,
Minnie. had peculiar ending before
Judge Baker. The authorities of Rock
Island placed the girl in the Illinois In
dustrisl school at Evanston on the ground
that her mother was dissolute woman.
Smith had no notice 0fthe proceedings.
and when he heard his daughter had been
placed In the school, he came here to get
her. The school contested the case, and
was represented by Attorney Byron BoyN
den, OF the city law department. Judge
Baker said he would take the case under
advisement until today. AS the parties
left the court room, it was said that At
torneY j. Warren Pease, who appeared
for the Smiths, told his clients to take
the child and leave as soon as possible.
SO the Smiths hurried away with their
daughter. Although Boydon complained
to Judge Baker of Pease's advice to the
Smiths, the court dismissed the petition,
and Pease promised to have the girl re-
turned. but he could not find her. The
detective department was notified of the
affair. and officers were detailed to look
for the girl. Attorney Boyden claims
that 1t was clear case of kidnapping. az
the girl was in the custody Of the school
authorities until she should be discharged
by the court.

THE Chicago Tribune places itself Sc
verely on record against the Mckinley
tariff bill. The following is sample of
its uttersnces in opposition to its party s
stand as to the wooden schedule: The
Mckinley bill does not leave the wool
and wooden schedules as now, bad as they
are. but makes them much worse. 1t
taxes raw wool considerably more. and
then raises duties on wooden goods and
blankets on the public much higher in
order to compensate the manufacturers
for the damage Inflicted on them by the
increased tax on their crude materials.
The interests of the So, 900, 900 of people
are not at all considered in the bill. How
long will our farmers persist in a delusion
which leads them. while complaining Of
their forlorn condition, to throw away
$40, 900, 600 q year in the cost of their
wooden wear and blankets? And will
they support an increase of 1900. 900
on the cost of their woolens on the fool
ish suoposition that the higher duties on
wool will recoup them? If they do, they
are fooling themselves"
