island is represented as abounding in gold,
with magnificent houses and temples, "the

the time Of the conquest OF Spain and por-
tugal 10y the Moors, when the inhabitants
fled in every direction TO escape slavery,
seven bishops, followed by great number
of people, took 20 ships and put boldly out
on the high seas. After tossing about for
some time they landed on an unknown

years became the seat OF the Seven Golden

Congress.

Congress.
wAsaINToY, Feb. 12.-In the House
yesterday afternoon the debate on the
appropriations bill was continued.
Mr.. Robertson of Louisiana moved to
strike out the paragraph appropriating
$4,000 for charging the gas plant and to
substitute the sum of 1850 for an electric
light plant for lighting cadet barracks.
Agreed to-76-64.
Mr.. Wheeler OF Alabama moved TO strike
out the clause appropriating $4,000 for
improving the sub-soil and surface drain
age of the barracks for enlisted men.
There was some discussion.
Without action the committee rose and
Mr.. Onthwaite of Ohio, moved that de-
bate be limited to one minute. The vote
resulted Yeas, 154; nays A.
No quorum, and the House adjourned.
In the Senate.
Mr.. German expressed his opposition
TO the creation OF another department
that of superintent OF documents, TO be
appointed by the President with a salary
of $1,000 year. He moved to strike out
the section OF the bill when created the
Office and TO provide that the public prin-
ter should act es superintendent for the
distribution of public documents.
Mr.. Manderson opposed the amend
ment Mr.. Hawley also opposed the
amendment and spoke of the bill as
monument Of ability and economy.
Mr.. German defended his view on the
latter and predicted that the office of
superintendent of public documents
would, year by year, enlarge Its scope and
power and grow into great department
ss the government, with a chief clerk and
numerous employees.
Mr.. Cockrell also argued against the
creation OF the office of superintendent of
public accounts. "The creation of the
Office |" he said, twill necessitate a build
ing that will cost a million dollars. This
superintendent must have large force
OF clerks to keep the records required OF
him. The lists he is required to keep (of
persons applying for documents) would
be OF immense Importance in presidential
elections and would be worth thousands
OF dollars TO advertising agencies. / do
not wish TO put that power in the hands
OF any president OF any power.
Mr.. Cockrell moved to strike out all the
sections referring to the duties of super
intendent.
Mr.. Hawley OF the committee on print
ing, defended the action OF that commit
tee and said that after all the time and
labor g1venfto the subject, the members
of the committee would be for

fought by leading senator's.

complished.
No action was taken.

sissippi river and TO prevent destructive
floods, appropriating $4,000, 900, of which

The Empress of Germany is in the habit
of writing for a few minutes daily in her
diary. a woman who for years has had
the honor OF her majesty's friendship says
that nobody ever secs the contents OF the
diary, not even the emperor. At the close
OF the year a new diary is opened, and the
old one, which has n locked clasp. is con-
signed to the iron safe containing her
maiesty's domestic jewelry, ps she calls IL,
meaning the gems she is in the habit OF
wearing when state ceremony does not re-
ouire her to deck herself with the public
Jewels OF her exalted station.
The same key serves for all the diaries
and the empress usually carries il at
tached 20 a chateline az her waist. As her
majesty is keen observer Of men and
things, II IS probable that the diaries re.
cord many curious impressions and some
weighty secrets which the imperial lady
confides to her diary pages simply because

BROKE THROUGH A BRIDGE.
Fitchburg Railroad Train Wrecked and
Conductor Lost His Life.

SHIRLEY, Mass, Feb. 12.-Apout z
o'clock yesterday morning the east bound
freight of the Fitchburg railroad went
through the bridge over the Nashua river
at Mitchelville, about 1 1-2 miles from
Aver Junction.
A broken car wheel let the truck down
upon the bridge, and 20 out of the % cars
were percipitated into the river. That
part OF the bridge which carried the east
bound track was torn away from the
other portion.
The engine and four cars had crossed
the bridge when the accident occurred.
The conductor, ID. q. Connors, was on
the part of the train which went through
the bridge and late in the afternoon his
body was found in the river between two
cars.
The line OF cars with their heavy freight
all jammed into the river at this point,
quite effectually damned the river.
Attempts to get passengers through
succeeded at first but the heavy snow ad-
ded TO the difficult situation. Passengers
going west were brought short distance
above Shirley and there the train was
stalled for several hours.
The damage to the bridge is about $4,000
and to rolling stock $4,000.
