of schools of San Juan county, has sub
United his annual report for 1889 to Audi
tor Alarid. There were seventeen schools
in operation, in which ten femaie and
seven male teachers were employed
The average time during which these
schools were active, is four months. The
total amount OF persons of school aye is
626, namely 3G4 males and 262 females
the number of enrolled scholars was 337,
consisting of 1872 males and 145 females.
The average daily attendance was 23l
scholars. Eight school districts own
their school houses. The total amount
received during the year from school
taxes, fines and licenses was 2,213, of
which amount 81, l6S were expended.
In all the schools the English language
was exclusively used. The new and
rather small county of San Juan is doing
right well, according to this report, in
school matters.

A LULL IN LEGISLATION.
THE DAY RATHER DULL IN BOTH
HOUSES OF CONGRESS.

Pill to Establish a United States
District Court at Raleigh Put on
the House Calendar The Confer
ence Report on the Customs Ad-
Yn,nistrative Bill Finally Agreed To-
The Mississippi River System Again
Discussed.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-In the House to-
day Mr.. Henderson of North Carolina, from
the committee on Judiciary, reported bill
N establish United States district court
70 be held in Raleigh, N. c. 1t was put on
the calendar.
Mr.. Mckinley of Ohio submitted the con-
ference report upon the customs admins
tratlve bill.
Mr.. McMillin of Tennessee (one of the
conferees) said that he had declined to agree
TO the report, for the reason that he believed
that the bill would increase taxation.
The House had increased taxation boldly
and directly by the passage of the Mckinley
tariff bill; now it was proposed to increase
it secretly Tor rather covertly) by the pass
age OF this bill.
The conference report was adopted. yeas
1877, nays 13; the speaker pro tenn counting
a quorum. The democrats as a rule re-
Trained from voting.
OUTLET OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the river and harbor appropri-
alton bill.
Mr.. Houk of Tennessee offered an amend
ment providing that John Cowden and his
associates may, on certain conditions, which
are set fourth in the amendment, at their
own expense construct an outlet for the
food waters of the Mississippi river from a
point about ten miles below the city of
New Orleans to the Gulf of Mexico,
through Lake Borgne, on such
lands as they or any of them
may acquire, or own, such outlet to be not
less than one mile in width. with an aver
age cross sectional depth of ten feet below
the gulf level, and of sufficient capacity to
discharge the food waters of the Missis-
sippi river at that place, and TO be provided
with proper levees or embankments from
the river to the lake to preserve the lands
Immediately above and below it from inun-
dation.
The old debate on the levee system as
against the outlet system again ran along
for some time. When it closed the amend
ment was lost without division.
Mr.. Holman offered substantially sim
liar amendment, and it was also lost.
OIdEh AMENDMENTS AAoO bEAAEN'
Various amendments making appropria-
tions for specified points along the Missis-
sppi river were offered and rejected.
Among them was one offered by Mr.. Boat
ner of Louisiana for 5000, 900 for the protec-
tion of the harbor at Natchez.
Mr. McCreary of Kentucky raised point
of order against those portions of the bill
which prescribe penalty for the mainte-
nance of obstructive bridges across navi-
gable waters. Pending decision, the COM
mlttee rose, and the House adjourned
without having changed the bill in any ma
terial way to-day.

Rev. Gracey Nominated for New Con
sulaue by the President.


sulaue by the President.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-When the Rev.
Samuel L. Gracey of Massachusetts, was
proposed for consulate by the Massachu-
setts senator's it was stated that Rev. Gracey
had rendered valuable party services in the
last campaign by keeping the prohibition
republicans in line for the republican can
didate. Later on President Harri-
son was informed by a distin-
guished Massachusetts republican that Rev.
Gracey's chief services to the republican
party in the last campaign was in suppress
ing in the republican gubernatorial conven-
tion Of Massachusetts the ballots which the
prohibition republicans had prepared for
the nomination of President Capen of
Tufts college for governor. Nevertheless,
under the pressure Of Senators Hoar and
Dawes, President Harrison nominated Rev.
Gracey for consul at Cardiff, Wales. AS
soon as he saw the nomination, Senator
Spooner of Wisconsin rushed up to
the white house and told the President that
Evan Jones, the incumbent at Cardiff, was
a veteran of the Iron brigade appointed by
President Arthur, whose removal after he
had been retained by President Cleveland
would ALLEVIATE the Welsh vote. President
Harrison took the hint and to-day with
drew Rev. Gracey's nomination to Cardiff
and nominated him to Foochow, China, not
so desirable place,
