An Appropriation for the Survey Of the
San Francisco HarbOr.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The sundry civil
appropriation bill as passed to-day contains
an item OF S16O, 900 for the enforcement of
the new Chinese immigration act This is
an increase Of 100000 over the amount ap-
propriated by the bill as passed in the House
and $4,000 over last year. The bill will
come out of the conference with not less
$4,000. so Senator FELTON, thinks.
The bill also provides for three surveys Of
San Francisco Harbor.
There was long debate on Walcott's
amendment TO reduce from $500, 900 to $780,
GOO, the amount appropriated by the House
for the division Of special agents of the
Land DEPARTMENT Last years appropria-
ton was $4,000 FELTON, took issue to-day
with Senators Call and Paddock. who re-
terred to extensive timber frauds in
California. Mr.. FELTON, denied that
there were extensive timber or land
frauds Ill California, and was in
favor OF curtailing the eXpense of
keeping an army OF spies on the land offices
throughout the country, while Sanders of
Montana referred to the special agents as
'PinkeTtOns." WalcOtt'S amendment was
adopted. This will necessitate a reduction
in the special land agents force, and some
of the agents in California, Oregon, Ne
vada and Washington will be among those
10 go.
The conference on the diplomatic and con-
Sular appropriation bill reached an agree
ment to-day, the House surrendeIing the
only Item at issue-the appropriation of
S65.O for the expense Of an inter-conti-
mental railroad survey. A restrictive clause,
however, Will accompany the report which
makes it unlawful for any representative
Of the United States Goyernmen TO aid in
the construction of the road,

HEAVY LIBERAL GAINS.
GladstOne's Majority in Midlothian
Greatly Reduced.
THE. TORIES MADE 4 BITTER FIGHT.
Gains by the GladstOnians in The Counties Will lot
Prevent an Early Dissolution Of the
New Parliament.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

LONDON, July 13.-Considerable depres-
sion is caused in the Liberal camp by the
announcement this morning of the result of
yesterdays election in Midlothian, Glad
stones constituency. 1t was known that
Colonel WauchOpe. GladstOne's opponent,
had been working hard TO reduce Gladstone's
majority, and every means were adopted by
the parties to get the voters to the polls.
Old men aud invalids were taken in veh hicles
to the polling-places. As the day wore on it
was seen that Gladstone was losing
ground. This led to redoubed efforts
on the part of the Liberal committee,
and resulted in a heavier vote than
ever before known in the district, and
shows g reat change in the political senti-
ment in Midlothian. Hitherto the district
has been looked upon as belonging 20 Glad
stone. Gladstone's actual majority this
year is 800. This is a pitiable majority
compared with the previous elections. In
1885 Gladstone received a majority of 1861,
and at the last general election in 1886 the
district was regarded as such a Liberal
stronghold that the Uni0nstS did not run
candidate. The Conservatives and Liberal
OnlonlStS are In high glee over the result.
They 5old the announcement to-day shows
that Gladstone has signa!Iy failed in win
ming supporters to his Eome-rule scheme.
At midnight the returns, so far as re-
ceived, show that the Conservatives have
232 members. the Liberal Unonists 35, the
Liberals 2c8. the Laborites 8. Anti-Parnell-
ties ~ and Parnellites z. The chagrin Of
the Liberals over the small majority OBJ
tared By Gladstone IS mitigated by the un-
expected series of successes they achieved in
the counties. Since the beginning Of the
elections the announcement of no days re-
suit has recorded so many Liberal gains as
to-day. Gladstone is not disheartAned by
the result of the polling in Midlothian.
Certain Liberals admit that another gen.
eral election is nigh and regard it as inevit-
able during 1892, while some forecast disso-
luton on home rule as likely TO take place
