OVER SMALL THINGS.
Senators Who strain at Gnsts and swallow
Financial Camels.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.--Call offered a
resolution which was agreed to instruct
ing the committee on foreign relations 10
inquire and report such measure as may
he necessary for the protection Of the ciii-
zens of the United States who were form
erly residents of Cuba and subjects of
Spain, against prosecution by the Spanish
government for offences alleged to have
been committed by them.
Concurrent resolutions heretofore Of
fered by Plumb expressing desire to
congress for the removal of the remains
Of Grant 10 Arlington cemetery was
agreed to.
Conference report on the fortiiication
bill was taken up tor consideration.
After discussion, the conference repor
was agreed To. The conference report OH
the sundry civil appropriation bill was
then taken up and the action of the con-
ference committee on the subject of the
bridge and viaduct at Rock Island de-
clining To require the municipality To
share the expense and ownership, was
criticized by Edmunds, who contrasted
the liberality of the committee with It's
meanness and parsimony in refusing To
the widow of dead chief justice the bal
ance of his years salary.
Sherman expressed his regret at the
striking out of the items for the families
of the deceased members and of the late
Chief Justice Waite. He would himself
vote for a law, general in its character,
giving TO the family of every officer Of the
government who died in harness the bal
ance of his pay during the calendar
year.
Cockrell criticized the making of inden-
mite appropriations and cutting down APP
preparations for the expenses of the
United States courts, support
of prisoners, ETC., leaving the necessary
outlay 10 be provided for in the deficiency
bill next session. He had therefore voted
against the conference report. Ii placed
the senate in the false position of yield
ing on items as to back pay and bounty Of
S724,0OO, when il did not yield "A dollars and
next November members of the house
would be exclaiming, Look nj the extray-
agant senate; look at the American house
of lords, look at the millionaire club of
the country, body that had 10 sympathy
with the poor down-troddcn taxpayers.
That was he way that the business branch
of congress did its business
The discussion then turned upon the
items in relation 10 the irrigation survey
and TO the public lands and il w2s carried
on at much length. Finally the confer
ence report was agreed TO and further
conference ordered on the irrigation
which had been postponed, and Allison,
Hale and German were reappointed con-
ferees on the part of the senate.
The tariff bill was then taken up, but
went over without action. A joint rcsolu-
ton was passed to accept from the ma
tional encampment Of the Grand Army of
the Republic a statute and pedestal of the
late General Grant, 10 be erected IN the
capitol, and the senate adjourned.

APOLOGIES TO RUSSELL.

The Chicago Herald" Is Sorry for MAX
ing some Statements About His Wife.
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-The Herald makes
the following apology to Russell Harrison
in its editorial columns to-day: Several
weeks ago the Herald received from n
source that il had reason to believe was
entirely trustworthy letter devoted to a
gossipy consideration Of the ladies of the
white house and Mrs. Russell Harrison.
After the publication of this article il was
discovered that il contained an intima.
ton that Russell Harrison had not treated
his wife as he should have done and that
there was good reason for the unpleasant
ness between the couple and uuhappiness
on her part. The Herald is informed and
believes the statements in this article are
without foundation and untrue, and II
regrets they gained publicity through
these columns. II has never been the
policy of this journal to involve women In
political antagonisms, and the appear
ance Of things 10 the contrary in this ease
was the result of an accident rather than
of design.

Special 10 the standard.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Census Commis-
sioner Porter has made the rough count
of the population Of Montana and II is
rough indeed. He gives the state just
ID, ,l63. Mr.. Springer, in his report upon
the admission of the state made in 1883,
estimated that the population In Novem-
Der, 1883, would be $4,000, but that was
under democeatic administration.
New York's rough count is 5,Ss,693, and
il the ratio Of apportionmeDt is Isl 200, as
il is expected to he, the state will lose one
representative. That will protect
the whole country from new
apportionment by this congress.
The rough count of the two Dakotas
shows that these states together have less
population by 60,0OO than they were ex-
pected to have when they were admitted.
South Dakota has S6,9s2 end North Da-
kota Isl 600.
Sanders made his first speech in the
senate to-day. He spoke for the land
offices and made an effort TO secure an
amendment TO the sundry civil bill by
which the land officers should be supplied
at government expense with furniture for
their offices, just as postmasters are. The
proposition had been put in the bill in the
senate, but i'm conference committee had
receded from its amendment. Sanders
lost il as a matter of course, for the con-
ferees are all powerful when they get at
work.
