sUNDRY CIVIL EXPENSES.
The House Spends the Day Discuss
ing the Bill.

The House Spends the Day Discuss
ing the Bill.
WASHINGTON, Nav 1S.-The House to-
the sundry civil bill.
The House promptly went into committee
of the whole on the sundry civil bill Mr.
Smith of Arizona moved to increase from
100000 to $4,000 the appropriation for
surveying public lands. After much debate
the amount of the item was fixed at S200, 900
as a compromise figure.
The chairman then proceeded to pass upon
the point Of order raised by Mr.. Tracey of
New York against the clause providing for
cleaning and reissue of minor coins. The
chair ruled that there was an existing law
for the paragraph and overruled the point
of order. The second part Of the same para
graph, providing for recoiuage of uncurrent
minor coins, he ruled to be out
of order, being unable to
find any law authorizing such
recoinage. As 70 the point of order raised
against the clause for the recoinage of
abraded minor coins, the act of 1875, the
chair found, prescribed that fractional cur
rency should be redeemed in coin, and pro-
vided for silver coins for the purpose of that
exchange. The chair thought that the
proper construction of that NV would i'm
ply that the silver in the treasury that was
not pledged for something else and the sill
yer there in the shape of abraded coin was
not really silver bullion. Under authority
to coin money to redeem fractional cur
rency the Secretary Of the Treasury had
the right to apply that silver for that pur-
pose. The chair therefore overruled the
point of order.
BARTINE's AMENDMENT RULED OUT.
The chair then ruled on Mr.. Bartine's free
coinage amendment. 1t was plain to him
that it was q change OF the existing law,
and. therefore, not in order. He sus-
tanned Mr. Tracey's point of order against
it. Mr.. Bartine appealed from the decision
OF the chair. The appeal was lost by vote
OF 1879 to 25. Mr.. Bland voted with Mr..
Bartine.
Mr.. Bland then offered an amendment
providing for the coinage of all silver
bullion purchased aud now 10 the treasury
into standard silver dollars. the cost to be
paid out of the seignorage arising from the
coinage OF the bullion, the remainder to be
covered into the treasury as available
money.
Mr. Dingley of Maine and later Mr.. Ira
cey of New York raised points of order
against the amendment.
After argument the chair reversed his
decision upon the points Of order until to-
morrow.
Mr.. Herbert Of Alabama moved to strike
out under the head of the geological survey
the appropriation for psleontologic re-
searches. This was agreed to.
The committee rose and the House ad-
journed.

FRESNO. CAL, May 1s.-Delegations
from four of the seven congressional dis
tricts, In attendance at the democratic state
convention, met last night and nominated
candidates for congress and also district
delegates TO the national convention. The
First district nominated Thomas NJ Geary
for congress, and the Second district re-
nominated A. r. Caminetti. The Fourth
district nominated James G. Ma
Fifth ]. F. RyIand. Delegates
to the Chicago convention were elected.
All OF the district delegates who were
elected last night are Cleveland men. The
First, Second and Fifth district conventions
adopted resolutions indorsing Mr. Cleve-
land and instructing the delegates to vote
COR his nomination. The Cleveland men
convention to,day unless the platform sup
ports him for President in a most unequiv-
ocAl manner
ENTHUSIASM FOR CLEVELAND.
When the convention reassembled the
temporary officers we're made permanent
Chairman Murphy made speech, in which,
referring to Mr.. Cleveland, he said: This
grand figure stands out alone. He needs
no platform, and when the Chicago con-
FeuJlOn puts MIN In nomination, and when
we march under his banner IN November
next, we thall march to victory"
These remarks were greeted with
cheers. A majority Of the committee on
resolutions submitted the platform. 1t de-
clares, IN part, that the paramount reform
now demanded OF the federal legislature is
reform of the tariff laws upon the basis Of
the democratic platform of 1888. That con-
slstent with that issue, the sentiment of the
California democracy is overwhelmingly
the man who gave to his party intellectual
and political leadership, aud to
the country a pure and elevated admins
tration. I'VE declare our conviction
that the best interests of the party and of
the country demand the nomination of
Grover Cleveland as President. He is the
choice of this convention for that exalted
station, and we are confident that under
his leadership the principles of democracy
will win glorious victory, and to tbs end
that the vote and influence of California
may be most effectively heard and felt the
delegates this day chosen are directed to act
as unit In all matters intrusted to their
charge said action to be determined by a
vote of Majority of the delegates. The plat
form also Endorses the Nicaragaun canal
and favors the election of senators by direct
vote of the people.
On the silver question it declares: 1--WE
denounce the acts Of the Republican party
against silver, particularly the act demone-
tlzing it, and we believe that there should
be kept in constant circulation full and suf-
fclent volume Of money, consisting of gold,
silver and legal tender paper currency at
par with each other"

HARRISON AND THE HARBoRs.

The Anti decentralization Republicans
Trying to Down Him.
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The administra-
ton senator's were out-maneuvered by the
anti. Harrison republicans in the commerce
committee to-day, who, finding that the
Harrison senators were going to try to re-
commit the river and harbor bill. with iu-
structions to cut it down horizontally 25 per
cent, promptly reported to the Senate as
soon as possible series of amendments
cutting all the appropriations for contract
works % per cent. or more. This effect
ually prevents the administration senators
from making their move and will enable
the anti-Harrison men, they think,
to get the bill more quickly
TO the President, who will, they
Think be sufficiently embarrassed even If
the reduction they nave recommended
should be adopted by both houses, as they
think it will be. The republican Senate.
they think. will jump at the opportunity to
cut down what it can term the extravagant
appropriations of the democratic House and
the democratic House will, they think, be
afraid to oppose it.
