The Yellowstone National Park Bill
Passed After a Long Discussion.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-The river and
harbor bill was feceived by the Senate from
the House and referred to the Committee
on Commerce.
The conference report on the urgent de-
fciency bill was presented and agreed to.
The Senate bill to establish the bounda-
ries Of the Yellowstone National Park was
then taken up and gave rise to considerable
discussion.
Vest OF Missouri said he would submit to
the passage of the bin not because his judg
ment approved of it.. but because he could
not help himself. lie did not believe, how
ever. that the persistent and unserupulOus
lobby that had always opposed legislation
in the interes: of the park would permit the
passage of the bill through the House. The
lobby waited a railroad charter authorizing
the building OF railroad into the park, ana
the passage Of a bill segregating portion
of it ON the north would defeat their pur-
pose.
Berry Of Arkansas argued that the Gov
erDment ought not TO 6e engaged In run
ming parks or raising wild animals. A
scandal was already abroad regarding the
park, and he therefore would not vote to
enlarge it, but rather TO abolish 1t.
German Of Indiana criticized the motives
of the Northern Pacific Railroad in trying
to keep monopoly OF the railroad traffic
through the park.
After discussion lasting nearly two hours
the bill was passed: Ayes 81, noes 13, and

and severely wounded another before the

throughout the Empire at the time The
Emperor explained to the officers that he
was about to reward the lance corporal,
and wished all the officers present to show
their respect for the young man.

guests followed the Emperor in rising and
Lueck was ordered TO stand facing his SOW

THE HOUSE.
An Extended Debate on the sundry Ap-
preparation Bill.

An Extended Debate on the Sundry APP
preparation Bill.
After routine business the House went
into committee of the whole on the sundry
appropriation bill. The general debate was
limited to five hours.
Holman stated that the bill appropriated
S25, 157, 7S7, against an estimate of $50, 1885,
$50, and the appropriation for the current
year of S3S 395, 1868.
Cogswell Of Massachusetts said the bill
was reported three months in advance of
the usual time. Whether it was reported
prematurely in order to shut out appropria-
tions which Congress might authorize and
thus reduce the amount of the bill for
party purposes, was for the majority of the
committee reporting the bill to explain.
While the bill reduced the expenditures un-
der the present law by SlS000,000, the re-
duction was made by refusing to the coun-
try the appropriations which were abso-
lutely necessary.
KEN of Nebraska opposed the increased
appropriations carried by the bill and in
Weighed against the extravaganza Of the
present House, especially criticiZing the
river and harbOr bill, which passed yester-
day.
Wilson of Washington argued that the
appropriation Of $4,000 for the survey Of
public lands was totally inadequate, and
pleaded for free homes for the people.
Clark of Wyoming followed in the same
line and expressed the hope that the House
in its desire for retrenchment would not
begin the same at the expense of the public
land system.
After further discussion by Sweet Of
Idaho and Hermann of Oregon against cut
ting down the appropriation for public
land surveys. Dngley Of Maine attacked
the bill as not conforming to the require
ments of the law and paving the way for
large deficiency appropriations at the
second session. During his speech Dingley
appropriated Sl,00S, ,000,000 and asserted
that the expenditures of that Congress
would not exceed 500, 100000.
