DRIFTING WITHOUT a RUBBER.
Democratic Majority In the House

Democratic Majority In the House
Afraid to Pledge the Farty.
WAsHINGToN CITY, April 1s.-[Special. J.
The Democratic congressional ship Is still
running along without rudder. 1t is
almost a useless thing to discuss the ac-
tions and deliberations of the big Demo-
cratic majority in the lower House of the
national congress. Weeks continue to
roll by, and still there are no tangible re-
suits so tar as making and unmaking leg
islation is concerned. The longer the ses-
sion continues the more apparent it be-
comes that the Democrats have no steady
hand at the helm and that the Democratic
ship continues to drift, and the indications
at this time are that before the close of
this session it will be wrecked upon the
breakers. 1t is a hard matter for any one
taking a neutral position be-
tween the two parties to dis
cover where the Democrats have done
ANYTHING in this congress that can ma
terially aid them in conducting the
national campaign this year. The plan of
the leaders at the opening of the session
was to make a record that would furnish
them with enough campaign thunder 10
last them until the polls closed in Noyem-
Der. Up to this time it appears that they
have made a good deal of campaign ma
terial, not for themselves, but they
have given the Republicans plenty of
material to work upon against the success
OF the Democrats in the presidential cleo
ton and in the congressional elections as
well. 1t is hardly necessary to point out
again that the Democratic party is going
to be wrecked this fall upon the free silver
issue, but this seems TO be the case. and
the situation becomes more and more
dark for them as the congressional
wheel continues TO revolve. The Demo-
Gratis representing districts that have
demanded free coinage, have lodged the
issue, or a good many of them have, at
least, and they are now finding that their
constituents will rebuke them very Sc
verely at home. A good many of them
will fail to secure denominations at the
congressional conventions, and those who
are lucky or uniucky enough TO secure a
denomination are sure to be defeated at
the polls. In many districts in the South,
where free coinage is looked upon as the
vital issue, the Republicans will probably
gain nothing from the loss that the Demo-
Gratis will sustain. The third party people

Lieutenant-C Commander Moore, of the
steamer Patterson, and Collector Wasson
both petitioned the department last Satur-
day for permission to cruise along the
coast of Vancouver island in search of the
wrecked sealing schooner Henry Dennis.
Late this evening Lieutenant Moore re-
ceived telegram from New York city,
stating that his only son, aged IL years,
had died there of pneumonia today. He
wired the department, asking that some
other vessel be detailed for the cruise. 1t
is thought that the surveying steamer Nc
Arthur, now at Seattle, will be detailed
for that service.
Captain Wasson stated that the reason
he had not ordered the revenue cutter
Wolcott to cruise along the Vancouver
coast was that she was positively unsea-
worthy and not fit to go on the ocean to
encounter the storms. The Wolcott re-
turned from Cape Flattery tonight and re-
ported that she was unable to learn any
thing concerning the Dennis.

IN THE HOUSE.
Amendments to Naval Appropriation
Defeated and the Bill Passed.

WASHINGTON CRY, April 1s.-In the
House McRae, from the committee on pub
lie lands, moved to suspend the rules and
pass the bill to adjust swampland grants.
The bill provides that all swamp or over
flowed lands granted to any state which
were sold for cash in such states shall
have credit for the full amount of the pur-
chase money received by the United States
and shall have indemnity from the United
States for such lands otherwise disposed Of
McRae explained that the main purpose of
the land measure was to quiet the titles of
settlers. Kilgore of Texas, opposed the
measure contending that it would cost the
government $50, 900, 900. After further dis
cussion pro and con the motion to suspend
the rules and pass the bill was defeated.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the naval appropriation BILL
Boutelle's amendment for the construc-
ton of two additional battleships and tor
pedo boats was rejected by a vote of 102 to
IS, and Cummings amendment for the
construction of one battleship and five
torpedo boats was also lost by 80 to "a.
Boutelle offered an amendment for the
construction of two steel gunboats at
cost of $500, 900 each, and ten torpedo boats
at SI20000 each; lost, 10i to SO. Cummings
offered an amendment for the construction
of four torpedo cruisers at a cost of $500, 900
each, two light draught gunboats at $780,
600 each, and two first-class gunboats at
$4,000 each, but it met with similar
fate. Holman's motion to strike out the
provision for the construction of new
cruiser was defeated, 120 to IS. A further
motion TO strike out the provision for a
new cruiser and substitute a provision for
four torpedo boats was defeated, 105 to 45.
The committee then rose, and Boutelle
moved to recommit the bill with instruc-
tions to the committee to report it back
with a clause for the construction of two
battleships az $4, 600 600 each and ten tor
pedo boat at $4,000 each. Defeated, ia
to 81. A number of Democrats voted in
the affirmative. The bill was then passed
and the House adjourned.

will capture all the prizes that are iost to
the Democrats by reason OF this free SILVER
business.
As tine situation stands today it is pre-
dicted that the Alliance or third party
men will very materially increase their
membership in the next congress. and the
districts won will nearly all be in the
South, and in districts where the people
are clamoring for free coinage. The Alli-
ance leaders, or, to be more correct, the
third party manipulators. are somewhat
tickled over the situation as it presents
itself to them, and see where they can in
crease their strength in congress to the
disaster of the Democrats. As has been
pointed out in previous dispatches, every
thing now points to the control of the
next congress by the Republicans.
The Democrats have made most un-
enviable record in this congress, and the
free silver question is not the only issue
upon which they have fioundered. They
have attempted to tinker away at the
tariff law, but have accomplished nothing
that will result to their benefit, ana, the
fact is, that what they have done will
probably cause wider breach between
the two factions in the Democratic party
than if none of the little tariff bills that
have been considered had been successful
in the lower branch. The Mills faction in
the House has no sympathy with the
course the other fellows have been taking.
and as Mills has gone to the Senate it is
probable that he will take little interest in
the outcome of the congressional battle
this fall.
If Grover Cleveland is nominated for
president, and there seems little doubt but
that he will be, it is probable that the
great tariff apostle from Texas will be
found on the stump in the interest of
Cleveland, but that he will do nothing to
aid the Democrats in the several congress
sional districts that opposed mis- candidacy
for speaker, and have opposed the lines he
has laid down on the tariff question, is not
doubted. The Democrats now in control
OF the lower house have made a great
splurge about cutting down appropria-
tions, and about all they expect to go be-
fore the country on as their record IN
congress is in this respect. The pruning
that has been done in appropriations will
not rebound to the credit of the men who
have weakened different departments of the
government and different public institu-
tions by cutting in half the appropriations
that are needed for their running expenses.
About all they have done in this direction
will probably result in very little, in any
event, for it is more than likely that the
Senate will demand that the majority of
the appropriations that have been cut
down be increased when the bills get
into conference. So it is now evident that
the record made by the Democratic House
is going to be more unenviable than has
ever been anticipated by the most san
guine of Republican partisans.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Judgment in the Case OF Chalk VI
Mayor White Affirmed.


OLYMPIA, April 1S.-TSpecial. The SUI
preme court today decided the case of w.
T. Chalk, appellant. VS.. Harry White, re-
spondent. The King county superior
court refused to issue q mandamus to COM
pei the respondent. as mayor of Seattle, to
sign certain street improvement bonds
which the council voted over the mayors
veto, to issue for the purpose of funding
warrants drawn on special improvement
funds, and to make the city ultimately
liable for the debt. The points raised
against the proposed bonds were that the
warrants were not an Indebtedness of the
city. and, therefore, could not be funded,
but that, even if they could be funded, the
question must be submitted to a vote of
the people. The supreme court affirms
the Judgment of the lower court, and says
that at most the city could only be liable
for failure to take the necessary steps to
collect the assessment.
The cases of w. w. Casey and eight
others, respondents, VS.. John B. Ault, ex-
ecutor, appellant, from Snohomish. were
reversed. These were actions brought to
foreclose laborers' liens on certain saw
logs. The court holds that claims of this
character against an estate cannot be fore
closed, but must be presented to the ex-
ecutor for settlement, as other claims are.
1t is held, however. that laborers' liens
are primary claims upon the property COW
cred by them. The causes are remanded,
with instructions to dismiss them.
The King county case of Dunn, appel
liant, VS.. Peterson ct al. respondents, was
affirmed, the court holding that while the
administration of an estate is in progress
an heir cannot maintain q suit to eject
party occupying land Of the estate. as the
matter is under the control of the admin
istrator.
The Judgment in the case of Shoufe ct
al, appellants, VS.. Griffith ct al, respond
ents, from King, involving g real estate
transaction was affirmed.

carrying foreign mails. Vest said il was
reported that the United States and Brazil
Steamship Company, one of the lines en-
toying mail subsidy, has refused delivery
of coffee from Brazil at the port of New

they had received resolutions setting forth
similar facts. The bill was referred to the
committee on commerce.

tary of state to obtain information con-
cerning the use of electricity in the pro-
pulsion of farm machinery and In the
