Five Are Ready for the Presidents Sigma
lures and Six Are In Conference.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-Flve of the an
nual appropriation bills have received the
signatures of the Speaker and the Vice.
president, and now await only the sigma
ture OF the President to become laws.
They are the agricultural the river and
harbor, the Indian, the postoffice and the
pension bills. SIX are still In conference, or
with the conference reports unacted on.
They are the army. the diplomatic and
consular, the District of Columbia, the
Military Academy. the naval and the legis-
latlve appropriation bills. The confer
ence report on the Military Academy bill
has been agreed to in the Senate, but has
not yet been reported in the House.
The conference report on the naval bill
has been twice rejected In the House-the
trouble being over the Senate amendments
authorizing the construction of one line-of-
battle-ship and appropriatinR $4,000 for
the proposed international naval review in
New York harbor and Hampton roads, In
celebration of the discovery of America.
The stumbling block in the legislative bill
Is the Utah Commission, and that In the
district bill Is the provision as to the
Grand Army annual encampment. The
sundry civil appropriation bill has been
two days before the Senate and all but
few pages were disposed Of when the Sem
ate adjourned yesterday. The new section
recommended by the Senate committee on
appropriations, directing the coinage of
ten million souvenir half-dOllars In aid of
the COlumb mbian exposition at Chicago, was
the point in the bill whore progress was
blockaded. 1t will come up again to-mor-
row and will be further discussed
and voted upon. as we'll as MIR.
Quay's amendment requiring the ex-
position to be closed on Sundays.
After this bill shall have passed the SEN
ate the fortitication bill, which is now on
the calendar, will be taken up for action,
and after that the general deficiency bill,
which is still in the hands of the Senate
committee on appropriations. And this
will be the last of the great annual appro-
priation bills. If they are not all in the
hands of the President before Friday next
"a very unlikely ovent-C0nRrese will
have to pass another Joint resolution ex.
tending the appropriation of last year for
such branches of the service ae remain nm
provided for. There Is no probability that
any of the tariff measures which have
passed the House will get before the Senate
this session.
This week in the House will be, in q
political sense, cloudy week with silver
lining The COMMITTEES on rules-or rather
the Democratic members of that commit.
tee. have decided that Wednesday and ''the
next legislative day If Wednesday prove
insufficient" shall be devoted to considera-
tion of the free-coinagc bill. The resolu-
tion to this end will be brought In Wednes-
day. whether before or after tho reading of
the journal 10 yet undecided.

Tho Diplomatic and Consular Appro-
priation Bill Amended and Passed.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 3.-After rou-
tine business the House went into COM
mittee of the whole on the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bills. Considera-
ton of the consular portion of the bill hav-
ing been completed without material
change, the committee reverted to the
amendment offered four days ago by Chap
man of Michigan providing that no part
of the emergency fund shall be paid to
any foreign government in the settlement
of any claim against the United States
and it was adopted. Blount of Georgia
moved to strike out the appropriation of
$65, 900 to continue the preliminary survey
for an inter-continental railway. He be-
lieved that if the proposition were
enacted into a law the United States
would be pledged to the construc-
tion of the railroad and to furnish a sub
sidy to do so If necessary. McCreary of
Kentucky opposed the motion. Patterson
of Tennessee and Holman favored it.
O'Neil of Missouri also favored the appro-
priation. After further debate the motion
was agreed to, ia to 73. The committee
rose and reported the bill as amer nded to
the House. Hooker of Mississippi
demanded a separate vote on the amend
ment striking ont the $50. 900 appropria-
ton for an inter-continental railway COM
mission, an d it was agreed to-yeas 145,
nays 81 The bill was then passed.
The Senate amendments to the army ap.
preparation bill were non-concurred in
and conference ordered. Adjourned.

THE LITTLENEss OF TACOMA.
Lake Canal Bill Opposed Because 1t
Would Incid entaly Benefit Seattle.

WASHINGTON CITY. May 3-TSpecial. l.
A fight is being waged upon the Lake
Washington canal, in which Tacoma and
chambers of commerce in towns in which
Tacoma's. influence has some weight are
taking an active part. They are endeavor-
ing to prevent any appropriation being
made or the passage of Senator Squire's
bill, which has already been practically
agreed on in the Senate commerce COM
mittee. 1t is understood that these cities
are petitioning against any appropriation
being made, and insist that such a canal
will cost great deal more than the benefit
to be derived therefrom. In retaliation
it is understood that certain people
are making an effort TO prevent
any action being taken upon the Puyallup
Indian reservation bill and these internal
quarrels in the state. although they have
not cropped out to any extent in Washing
ton City, are being noised about somewhat,
and will probably result in defeat of leg
islation of importatce to both cities and to
the state at large. In urging upon con-
gress the Importance of the Lakes Union
and Washington canal, Senator Squire has
no other object than to do what's best for
his state and for the nation as whole.
He and other public men recognize the i'm
portance of having fresh water harbor
which will be within reach of the large
naval vessels of the Pacific coast, and this
seems to offer the best opportunity
for such harbor of any point on
the Coast. Not only that, but
will open up large commercial interests
and manufacturing establishments on
these lakes, which will be connected with
Puget sound, and for this reason he thinks
that the whole state will be benefited and
no section injured by the construction of
the canal. He. as well as other statesmen,
are much surprised that any opposition
should be developed in that state against
so important project.
Senator Squire's argument before the
Senate committee on commerce has
brought forth good fruit. 1t is understood
that the appropriations for Olympia and
Gray's harbor have been increased to
twice the size given in the House
river and harbor bill. and that provision
has been made for work upon Swinomish
slough. In Southern Washington VAN
couver and Willapa harbor have been
taken care Of There are many other
points that Senator Squire insisted should
have attention in the river and harbor bill,
and it is possible that some other provis-
ions have been made, but these points were
the main features upon which the senator
insisted, and the action of the committee,
although not final, is apractical guarantee
that Washington will receive liberal ap-
propriations.

Their Platform VIII Declare Against
the Free Coinage OF silver.
STOCKTON, CAL, May 3.-The Republican
state convention was called to order at
p. m. by Chairman Stump, of the state
central committee, who said in part:
congratulate you that we enter upon the
campaign with no APOLOGIES for our conduct of
public affairs. The manly patriotism aud con-
sistent administration OF our foreign affairs un-
der the guidance OF that natchless statesman,
James G. Blaine, will be tower of strength In
the contest We can congratulate ourselves
that time has proven the wisdom OF the meas
ures bearing the name of that eminent son of
Ohio, William Mckinley; and that the three
years of careful and conscientious devotion to
duty and country of our honored chiei magis-
trate, that great and good man, Benjamin Har-
rison, is a matter of honest pride to our citi-
Gems. 1t remains our duty fearlessly to place
measures above men and principles above per-
sonal ambition.
There was great cheering at the mention
of the names of President Harrison, Secre-
tary Blaine and Governor Mckinley.
James II, Neff, of Placer county, was
chosen temporary chairman. He said:
The gentlemen whom you select to go to Min
neapolis will represent the party of protection
and reciprocity. Whether James G. Blaine or
William Mckinley be nominated we propose to
elect QlIl.
At the evening session the temporary
organization was made permanent. There
was considerable debate ON the proposition
prohibiting officeholders from serving on
the state central committee, bu tthe propo-
sition was finally defeated. The commit
tee on platform was not ready to make its
report, and the convention adjourned until
tomorrow morning.
The committee on platform and resolu-
tions was in session several hours this
afternoon, and finally adopted a lengthy
platform, of which the following is q
synopsis:
President Harrison's administration is In
dorsed, as is his action in the Chile, Italy and
Bering sea controversies. The plan of reciproe-
ity is indorsed; also Governor Markhams ad-
ministration Revision of the naturalization
and immigration laws is demanded, so that un-
desirable people who are sent or come voluntar.
lily here can be kept out. Improvement in the
enforcement of the eight-hour labor law is de-
manded, and the election of United States sena-
tors by popular vote is indorsed. The resolu-
tions declare against the free coinage of silver,
aud want coinage restricted to the product of
American mines Government control aud op-
Grafton and speedy construction of the Mica
ragua canal is favored.
Tonight two district conventions were
held. The First district elected E. V.
Spencer, of Lassen, and ID. I. Cole, of ST.
ezra district, delegates, and S. ]. Matthev
and J. I. Mattock alternates. The Second
district elected j. F. Kidder, of Grass Val
ley, and A. J. Rhodes. of Sacramento,
delegates, and A. C. VOORHEES, and DIR. N
Soosesti alternates.

to compel the secretary of state to deliver
to the sheritfs written notice between
July and September that at the next gen.
eral election electors for president and vice
president of the United States for the
state of Michigan will be chosen. This
action is brought to test the constitution

s1LvER-LEAD ORE ON FREE LIST.
Bill Ready to Be Reported-Its Bearins
on Reciprocity With Mexico.

Bill Ready to Be RepOrted-Its Bearing
on Reciprocity With Mexico.
WASHINGTON CRY, May 3.-Representa-
tive Whiting. of Michigan, has prepared
and will submit to the Honse the report of
the majority of the ways and means COM
mittee, recommending the passage of the
bill to place on the free list silver-lead ores
when the silver exceeds the lead in value.
The report says:
The Mckinley law imposed duty of ilS cents
pound on lead or silver ores, "with the result
OF increased and increasing injury TO American
smelters and all the interests connected there
with" The use of silver-lead ores for smelling
dry silver ores mined in the United States is an
imperative necessity, and they are not only re-
quired as raw material in smelling but are an
essential tool of the industry. The American
smelter must secure this tool, and as the domes-
tic supply does not meet the demand, heavy i'm
portations OF Mexican ores must be made. Now,
however, new conditions confront the smelling
interests of the country and threaten that un-
less the reliei proposed is granted that is, quick
transfer across the Mexican border, n large DO.
portion OF the smelling industry will be Grip
Piled to the great injury of American labor and
railroads and other kindred pursuits. The re-
suits of the Mckinley act have been to benefit
fore. gn interests and InjuEe ou- people, and un-
less quickly remedie1 the injurious results will
be past cure.
In conclusion the report says:
While the bill does not cure the evils the pres
ent law creates, if promptly adopted 1t Will
modify the injurious effects upon our home in
dustries.
The foreign affairs committee suggested
that this concession will probably be of
mutual advantage in securing reciprocity
with Mexico.

IN THE SENATE,
Modified Chinese Bill Passed, so to 15-
squire and Allen Vote Aye.

WAsHINGToN CRY, May 3.-After the
usual morning business Morgan called up
the presidents message on the interna-
tional conference as to silver coinage.
Doiph tried TO secure action first on the
conference report on the Chinese exclusion
bill, but Morgan refused TO give precedence
to other subjects, remarking there was so
much pressure about that. The senator
from South Dakota, who desired to address
the Senate, might not have the courtesy
of appearing. Kyle then proceeded to
address the Senate IN favor of the free
coinage of silver. At the close of Kyle's
speech the message was again laid on the
table. Morgan giving notice that he wanted
to speak on it.
The conference report on the Chinese
exclusion bill was then laid before the
Senate. As soon as it was read Sherman
stated that. although a member of the
conference committee, he was not able to
sign it; yet he was willing TO provide any
necessary legislation for the restriction of
chinese labor. He thought the Senate
Dill mad done So very broadly. Sherman
looked upon the introduction of Chinese
laborers through Canada as an insult 10
the United States. Those who believed
the United States had right to trample
on treaty and disregard it, might vote

Democrat. oppose Free Lumber GIL.

WAsHIxGToN CITY. May 3.-The Demo-
cratic members of the ways and means
committee listened this afternoon to the
Democratic members of the, House ex-
pressing their views on the tariff bills
pending before the committee 1t was
made evident that there were quite num-
Der of Democratic members unfavorable TO
a report on the free lumber bill at this ses-
sion Of congress, and at least one member
was opposed to q reduction in the duty on
barley. The opposition TO the lumber bill
came from North Carolina and the Great
Lake states and Northwest, and was on
the ground that the duty should not be
taken off unless compensatory benefits he
given by the general tariff reduction DILL.
The committee was urged to place refined
sugar on the free list and make lower du-
ties on thread and steel rails.

The Lutherans will Boycott the Party
That supports the school Law.

SPRINGFIELp, ILL.,, May 3.-The delegates
to the Republican state convention are
nearly all here. There is not much doubt
that Governor Fifer will be re-nominated
The question of the compulsory education
law, which has been a burning question
since the Lutherans made an issue against
it in the election of 1890, is causing the
delegates much anxiety. Some propose to
do as the Democrats did-adopt a plank
demanding its repeal Those who
were prominent in securing passage of the
bill oppose this. They say it would
stultify the party, and that they propose
to demand its retention with amendments
which will not interfere with religious
sects, but will insist on the education of all
children in common branches and in the
English language, whether in parochial,
private or public schools. There will
undoubtedly be a warm tight over this
matter, and the interest is intensified by
the fact that the Illinois German Lutheran
synod, in session at Chicago, TODAY
adopted resolutions demanding the un-
conditional repeal of the law and that
members of the church would vote only
for the candidates of that party which will
include such plank in its platform, and
whose statements and actions on the mat
ter are satisfactory to committee to be
appointed by the synod.

Edison secures Telephone Patents.

WASHINGTON CRY, May 3-The COM
missioner of patents has issued three
patents to Thomas A. Edison, assgnor to
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
covering the features of the speaking tele-
phone, on the original application as fled.
Owing to the intervention of other appli-
cations covering the same invention the
patents were delayed. The last obstacle
to the issuance of these patents was the
Berliner application, upon which patents
were issued last November. These inyen-
tions of Edison have been granted foreign
patents, some o. which have already ex-
pired. This raises the question whether
the American patent issued after the ex-
piration of the foreign patent is valid, the
application for the American patent hav-
ing been filed prior to the date of the grant
of the foreign patent. This question will,
it is thought, be brought before the United
States supreme court. several circuit
court judges having decided it in the mega

junction, but he did not feel at liberty to
do so. Dolph of Oregon defended the re-
port. Dawes opposed it as being viola
tion of treaty. Vest, while not disposed
to violate treaties, considered self-preser-
walton the first law of nations as well as
individuals. Palmer could not vote for
the conference report because of the pro-
vision that Cinnamon coming to the
United States could not be admitted to

because of the provision providing tor the
