FIFTY.sECOND CONGRESS.
Appropriation Bills Have the Right of
Way This Week.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-After several
weeks devoted to the tariff question,
the appropriation bills now have the
right of way in the house. The bills
are we'll advanced. and if the programme
for the next two or three weeks is car
ried out, the question of an early final
adjournment will rest with the senate.
The house, however, is pursuing pol
icy OF retrenchment, 30 long and prob
ably acrimonious conference between
the two branches Of congress may fol-
low the action by the senate on appro-
priations, before the bills can be enacted
into law.
Tomorrow is District Of Columbia day
in the house, but it is proposed to spend
part of the day on the urgency defci-
ency appropriation bill. The Indian
and District of Columbia appropriation
bills, which have passed the senate, will
be put in conference during the week.
The national appropriation bill will
probably be taken up Tuesday. Its con-
sideration will occupy at least two days,
and may probably run to the close OF
the week. There will be little discus
sion on the bill as a whole, but the
Republican minority, aided by some
Democrats who oppose the recommends
tion of the majority of the naval COM
mittee that only one new crusier be
authorized, will make an earnest fight
to have the bill amended go as to
authorize the construction of two new
in nf- oh nd q
torpedo boats.
Tho sundry civil appropriation bill
will follow, and will probably occupy
the rest OF the week.
Besides these bills there are on the
calendar the consular and diplomatic
and river and harbor appropriation
bills, which in the following week, will
be taken up in the order named.
The committee at work on appropria
tion bills has not reported to the house
and before the bills on the calendar are
acted upon, most of the following bills
will have been reported to the house
Postoffice, agricultural. legislative, ex
ecutive and judicial, fortifcation ane

The senate is to listen to several Sc

business, but before it is taken up agail
the senate, according to recent order
will devote two whole days to the con

THE COLONELs WIN.
A Great Contest Between Oakland and
Los Angeles.

A Great Contest Between Oakland and
Los Angeles.
Two thousand people saw great
game yesterday afternoon between the
Colonels and the Angels. The predic-
ton in the HERALD that the game would
be closely contested was verified and it
was battle royal from the start. The
Colonels won by score of 8 to- and
the victory was we'll deserved one.
The Angels started out in winning form,
making two runs in the first. Wright
failed to reach the initial on drive to
Bushman. Treoway led off with two
Dagger. Glens sky-scraper was dropped
by Smith in the left garden and the Los
Angeles captain made two bases. Both
Tired and Glen scored on old Pops star
gazer to the center field, which Hardie
failed to Judge. Two runs in the first
looked as if the Angels had their batting
clothes on, but they never scored again.
One or twice it looked as if they might
score but German was most effective
when in tight place.
The Colonels failod to make a circuit
of the bases until the sixth, when they
got three men around. 1t happened
thus: O'Brien fouled out to Rogers.
Hardie reached first on Hasamaear's
failure to negotiate one sent along the
ground. Carroll popped the ball over
Glenalvin for base hit, Park Wilson
followed with oSs1ng two-bagger,
Hardie scoring and Carol reaching
third by the skin of his teeth. Carroll
scored on Bushman's lucky pop up be-
tween Glenalvin and Newman. Wilson
was out at the home plate trying to
steal home, which made the captain of
the Colonels very wrathy and he roasted
the clever catcher who was in great
measure responsible for the victory, as
he made a two-bagger when it was
needed and without which the Oaklands
would have suffered three defeats out
of four games. Hutchinson had three
balls and two strikes called on him, but
he batted the decisive ball between
Glenalvin and McCauley. Glenalvin
got the ball too late to catch the man at
first, and before he could gather himself
together Bushman managed to steal in.
Many blamed Glenalvin for holding the
ball too lorg before sending it
down to the home plate. That settled
the scoring on both sides. The admir-
.ers of the home team were sanguine that
the Angels would pull the game out in
the ninth, and there was a futter of
excitement when Los Angeles came up
to bat. They were unable to connect
with Germans curves, and the Colonels
won the battle.
The game was frst-class one. There
were few errors, to be sure, but all in
all it was probably the best game of the
season. It was really the finest pitch
ers' battle seen on the home grounds.
Roach pitched creditable game, only
seven hits being made off his delivery.
German was irresistible after he settled
down to work, and he pitched crack
game after the first four innings, the
local -batters being all at sea. Park
Wilson was roundly applauded for max
ing great catch Of high foul. Rasty
Wright also made grand stand catch
in the center garden, and Kid Hulen
made Denny stop at third. Glenalvin
and Treadway were the most successful
with the stick, each making two hits.
Bushman did the best batting for the
visitors.
The score follows:

Cannibalism in a Western Camp.


A horrible discovery has been made
in the mountains of South Dakota, about
ten miles from the border, which indi-
Gates that party of lost people have
been driven to the dire extremity of
feeding upon each other.
In deep canyon, where the camp
was sheltered from the storms, there
were found the remains of camp, and
at the fire, in the ashes, were several
bones and pieces of human body which
had been cooked and partly eaten.
There had evidently been five or six in
the party and three of them had been
killed to furnish food for the others, for
there were three skulls found, and from
their size it is evident that all of them
were those of women or children, for
they were much smaller than the skull
of man. The bones of the legs and
arms were found, and to one leg bone
there was still quantity Of cooked
flesh hanging& The survivors had evi-
IDENTIFY got some other meat and left the
undevoured part of the last victim in
the fire, with the intention of burning
it up, but the fire was put out by a
storm and discovery thus made possible.
1t is believed that the party originally
consisted of two men, two women and a
boy, and that they passed through this
place last fall on their way to the west.
If such was the case the men have sac
rifced their companions in the attempt
at self preservation and are now alive.
1t is.understood that the authorities of
South Dakota will make searching in
vestigation and see if they can find out
the survivors of the terrible deed.-Cor
