MONEY FOR THE MINERS.
Conference on the Hydraulic Appropriation.
Some opposition Manifested.

WASHINGTON, May 16. - Congressman
Camnetti had talk with Representative
Holman to-day concerning the hydraulic
mining bill. Caminetti says the chairman
talked as IL he was inclined to help Callfor-
MIA He advised the Californians to appear
before the subcommittee Of the Appropria-
tions Committee, and has called meeting
thereof for tomorrow at IL o'clock. Such
of the delegation as desire to be heard will
appear In behalf of the measure. The ae-
ton of the subcommittee will probably de-
termine the amount that will be appropri-
ated Caminetti is firm in his opinion that a
reasonable amount will be secured to begin
the work. 1t appears doubtful to others,
however, whether any money at all will be
secured. There Is a disposition to question
the c0nstitutionality of the proposition, and
other members are disposed to consider it as
sort Of bounty to the hydraulic miners.
Besides this, the Democrats are all at once
beginning TO get alarmed at the way the ap-
propriations are increasing, and many of
the Eastern Dem ocrRtic newspapers are Sc
verely eriticiZing Congress for passing the
river and harbor bill, carrying about S47,-
0,000, including contract projects, and are
fearful that the Democratic party will be
subject to the same criticism bestowed upon

In the House to-day Representative Bow
ers sent to the clerks desk and had read
the views of Editor Lynch DemocraD Of
Los Angeles on the sham retreuchment and
reform professions of this Congress. Mr..
Bowers then drew a comparison between
the liberal policy of France. which had at
one time appropriated as high as $50, ,O00, 0O0
for harbor of that country. and the paIsi-
monious policy of the present American
Congress.

ROWLING FOR CLEVELAND.

The Interior Counties All Favor an In
structed Delegation.
FRESNO. May 16.-AIl day the fight over
the instruction of the delegates has in
creased in bitterness, and the issue is be-
coming more sharply drawn as the hours
go by.
The Ostrom men are forcing the fight and
have made serious inroads on their op po-
neuts' strength on tins account. They are
literally bowling for Cleveland. and say the
men who go to Chicago must be pledged.
This seems to be the general sentiment of a
majority of the delegates from the interior,
and it is thousands to hundreds that they
will force it through on that line.
This the Murphy men are opposing with
might and main, but they deny now that
they are antagonistc to Cleveland or favor
Hill. They point to the fact that Santa
Clara County instructed her delegation to
vote for no man who was not favorable to
Cleveland, and this they think should be a
sufficient pledge. Still they refuse to face
the issue squarely and dodge it by saying
that they do not like the idea Of saying TO
any men that they must use no discretion.
Murphy himself has been pressed TO take
a positive stand, but is still in the hands
of his friends ~
