POStS-NaYll Orders.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Secretary No
Bile said to-day that within one week those
who during the fiscal year of 1890 pro-
tected the abandoned military posts would

expenditure, but upon the recommendation
of the Secretary of the Interior, during the
last session, an appropriation was made.
There are eight reservations of that kind,
and among them Fort &cDermitt and Fort
HalIeck of Nevada, and the appropriation al
so provides for protecting Casa Grande, near
Florence. Ariz,, and very soon the depart
ment Will carry out the provisions OF the
law.
ANGRY CoNGREssMEN.
The Congressional Committee that went

tor Hearst arrived here this afternoon.
Senator Faulkner said concerning Mrs.
Cougars statements: They were inspired
by the fact that an excursion party from
Mexico wanted their cars attached to
the Cong ressional train in order to
get into ST. Louis twelve hours
earlier and make quick connections
for Chicago. When this was refused the
excurSionists vowed vengeance. We did
have III the Daggage-car about tWenty-four
cases of wine which had been given TO or
purchased by us, and which we brought
East. But as matter of fact these cases
were not opened on the trip. We had wine
served at dinner, but at no time was there
any intemperance." Sergeant-at-Arms VAL
entine also denied the story. He says that
the trip cost about 100000.
