RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
Senate Committee Favors Liberal
Appropriations.

Senate Committee Fayors Liberal
Appropriations.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-After hear
ing from engineer officers Of the gov
ernment and delegations appointed to
lay the matter before congress, the SEN
ate committee on commerce has decided
to recommend the adoption of most
liberal policy for the improvement of
the great internal waterway furnished
by the Mississippi river. Various prop
OSitiOnS connected with the improve
ment of the river were before the COM
mittce. but after thorough c0nsidera-
ton of the subject it was decided that
the bill recently introduced by Senator
Gibson. of Louisiana, was better adapt
any other. The feature of this
measure is the division of the
responsibility for the work of i'm.
provement between the chief of engi-
neer, and the Mississippi river COM
mission. The original bill proposed all
Apr Opriation of s16,000,000 to carry out
its purpose, but the committee reduced
this sum to 100000 and made a few
changes in other respects to III axe the
bill conform to this reduction.
AS it will be reported to the senate,
the bill makes all appropriation of S15,-
600, 600 for the improvement of the Mis-
sissippi river, whereof s10,000.000 shall
be expended under the direction of the
secretary of war, in accordance with
such plans Of the Mississippi river CON-
mission as may be approved by the
the chief of engineers, TO build, repair
and extend the levees. bikes and other
works on the river from the Passes to
the mouth of the Ohio and for the pay
ment of the salaries and expenses of the
commission. There is proviso that
not more than S2,000,0O0 of this appro-
priatlon shalt be expended in any one
| year THAT 1t shall not be expended long
er than the state and local authorities
! continue their present contributions for
| levee Improvements, and that none of
the money shall be used for the pur-
chase of sites for levees or payment of
! damages for their construction.
The second section of the bill provides
that S5,000,000 of the total appropriation
of Sl5.Oo0.O0O shall be expended by the
| secretary of war on the same section of
| the river, in accordance with the plans
of the chief of engineers, the yearly
| allotment not to exceed 81, 000,C COZ. The
bill, as will be noted, commits congress
| 70 the levee system of river improve
| ments. 1t was adopted by the unani-
! nous vote OF the committee and was re-
| ported to the senate by Senator Gibson,
! its author.
The committee also authorized Sen
atOr DoIph to report favorably his bill
appropriating 81, 100000 for the compile
tioD of the work of improvement al the
! Cascades OIL the Columbia river. Oregon
with proviso that not more than one
| third of the appropriation shall be eX
| pended in any one year.

WANAMAKER'S LUCK.
The Rise in Reading Melted Him a
Million.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Postmaster
General Wanamaker has profited very
largely by the rise. in Reading stock
since Wednesday. The postmaster gen.
erals share in the increased value of the
stock is understood to foot UP over
81, 600, 600. A prominent gentleman from
Philadelphia is quoted as follows: 1.-The
head of the postoffice department is a
very lucky man. The net profit on his
interest this week is more than 81 ,OOO,-
coo. 1t is big sum, but he deserves it,
for he held on under very diScouraging
circumstances. All of mis- troubles year
or so ago were brought about by his
heavy interest in Reading. He was in
so tight place that he would have gone
to the wall if the Drexels had not come
to his assistance. They helped him to
the extent of $500, 200, and offered to as
Sist him with as much more if necessary,
but he made out to get along without il.
His fight with Gould bothered him
greatly. He has weathered the storm
and turned the corner, though, at last.
To be nearly exact, Mr.. Wanamaker is
about 81, 100000 richer than he was not
long ago."

Springer Argues in Favor OF His
Joint Resolution.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-The house
committee or the election OF president.
vice president and representatives in
congress today heard al argument from
Representative Springer advocating his
joint resolution proposing an amend
meut to the constitution in reference to
the election of president, vice president
and representatives in congress. The
resolution fixes the term of Office
of the president and vice pres
ident at six years, and provides
that they shall be ineligible to
election for the next ensuing term. 1t
also provides that the ''times, places
and manner of choosing senators shall
be prescribed in each state by the legis-
lature thereof. but the congress may at
any time by law make such regulations,
except as to the places of choosing sen.
ators." Terms of senators shall expire
the first Wednesday of January, and
congress shall assemble the first
Wednesday in January. The several
bills introduced on the election of SEN
ators were discussed by the committee,
and a special meeting will be held Mon
day next, when the committee will
probably decide upon the form of re-
port,

CANADA HAS NO POWER.
Reciprocity Negotiations ar
Practically Useless.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Sir John
Thompson, minister of justice; &. E. Eos
ter, minister of finance; and Mckenzie
Bowel, minister of customs, Canadian
reciprocity commissioners, were this
morning accorded an audience by the
president. The statement that the
Canadian reciprocity commissioners
would remain in Washington only a few
days. finds partial confirmation in re-
port that they have acknowledged to
Secretary Blaine that they have no
authority whatever to offer to the Unit
ed States any advantages in CONNER
cial sense not possessed by England.
This report cannot be confirmed. but is
believed to be true. IL it is. and Lord
Salisbury does not cable authority to
the commissioners to proceed in accOr-
dance with the sensible idea of reciprOS-
ity. the negotiations will close at their
present. stage. They are not likely to
lead to any thing substantial in any
event.

A SINGULAR CASE,
Suit for an Estate Develops Pecu-
liar Conditions,


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. ia bill
to be filed in the chancery court of Ruth
erford county, was presented yesterday
to Judge Ridley. and he granted fiat
for an Injunction. The case is of pecu-
liar Importance and raises a singular
question, which is new legal problem
in Tennessee. Joe Barlow, who. the
bill alleges, is of dark complexion is
the complainant. He claims to be the
son of 4. G. and Locke Barlow, white
people now deceased, and claims to be
a full brother of Jack and Mary Barlow,
who are white. He alleges that by
mere unaccountable freak Of nature he
was born with dark skin, but that he
was recognized during the life of K. G.
and Locke Barlow as their lawful son
and was received as a member of the
family. He now claims that because of
his dark skin, his brother and sister are
attempting to defraud him out of his
share of his fathers estate. The bill
adjoins further disposition of the
property until the question of paternity
is settled

The Loebs say that the count claimed
he came to America with a big title
solely to get rich wife. as his elder
brother would inherit the bulk of the
property. AS he lost his head and his
heart temporarily to one not rich, it has
made lots of trouble. Father Geyer says
