James, the once famous bandit. For miles and
miles some of the ''boys" amused themselves in
trying to hit the prairie dogs which sat up on
their hind legs on top Of the little mounds Of
earth which only varied the monotony of the
mile after mile Of sandy plain. but every time
the missile landed the prairie dog was not there
Then again, Jack rabbits would be started
up, and the long-eared creatures ran as if for
dear life. Once a coyote or wolf was seen run
ming to cover as rapidly az his nimble legs could
carry him. At Coolidge, Colorado. a ''bull'
snake had just been killed and was laid at full
length upon the depot platform. He was some
three or four feet long with full neck ss though
he were afflicted with goitre. At Lamar the

cultural products Of the region and one might
imagine q county fair in progress.
A HOTEL BREAKFAST.
At La Junta pronounced in Spsnish as

knights thought they would vary the bill of
fare from that presented in the dining car
attached to the train, and they accordingly
ventured into the small building labelled
''hotei'' near the station to get some breakfast.
Though it was after the regular hour for that
meal the proprietor summoned his minions and
breakfast, to which ample Justice was done.
The now satisfied guests were 90 well pleased
that they at once summoned the kazoo band
and the hotel was serenaded, the parade ex-
tending into the dining room, to the delectation
Of the Mattresses Who were especially attentive
to every ''tenderfoot," - they cali strangers

MONEY FOR DEFICIENCIES.

Washington June 81 (SpeclaD.-The House to-day
finally obtained quorum and passed the General
Deficiency bill which is the last Of the general ap-
preparation bills AS passed by the House, the bill
carries $3.50 231, which is s3140474 less than the
estimates upon which it based and S52,lo4 less
than the total amount recommended by the Appropra
lions Committee. The latter difference Is accounted
for by the refusal Of the House to pay to the WIDOWS
and other heirs eight Representatives who died after
their election the present Congress the amounts which
said Representatives would have received on account
Of salaries and mileage If they had lived to complete
their respective terms of service.
Among the items are Deficiencies on account OF the
rosioicc Department and postal service amounting 10
5000 1Oj This indicates that II the POstofce Appro-
prailon bill should become law In the form In which
II passed the House. the Deficiencies which Congress
would he compelled TO provide for next winter on
account OF the postal service would exceed SloOoOoo
and thus bears the statements made in these dis.
patches when that bill was pending in the House.
OF course the passage OF the General Deficiency bill
by the House today does not imply that the op-
propriaon bills will become laws before July l. on
the contrary the action OF the House today in re-
Iectng the report OF the conference committee on the
Military Academy bill Is strong indication that rev
n any OF the bill. will become laws before the ex-
uIratlOn Of the current fiscal year. IL VIII DO heces-

mander Graham, Of the Navy, who, while In command

tried and convicted by courtmar ial has been finally
acted upon by the Secretary Of the Navy ana the
records Of the proceedings together with the recon-
mendaion OF the Secretary thereon, have been trans
mtted to the President for his consideration and
action. as is required by law in such cases CON-
mander Graham tried five ciarges-that ne
wily dlsobeyed the lawful orders OF the secretary;
scandaous conduct tending to the destruction OF good
morals that he engaged in violent abuse OF the Late
Admiral Porter; falsehood, in that he denied having
abused the late Admiral Porter. when he knew such
denial 10 be untrue conduct unbecOming an officer In
that he abused enlisted under his command and
conduct to the prejudice OF good order and discipline,
In that lie entered into agreement with certain en-.
listed men under his command that If they would not
report his actions TO the Navy Department he would
promise to his detachment from the r1onitof
feet.
The couri-martiol before which he was tried SEN
fenced Commander Graham to dismissal from the
Navy and while the action in the case by the Navy
Department has not been made public, II Is believes
that The members OF the court recommended cletl.

in building monitor Squando during the war. The
bill allowing this claim to be presented before the
Court OF Claims was vetoed by President Cleveland
after passing the Lth Congress, and Mr.. Mckay took
strong ground against this unjust act. The List
Congress repassed the bill and President Harrison
signed IT, thus allowing Mckay the right 10 proceed
against the Government In the Court of Claims. The
Department Of Justice had used every proper effort
at It's command 10 reduce the amount carried by the
claim. The experts In the Navy found due Mckay

and allowed only $4,000. Mr.. Mckay has had this
claim before Congress for twenty -four years 1t has
been vigorously advocated by Charles sumner.
