propriates $50, 100000 nearly 81, 900, 900 less

work can be undertaken with the amount
appropriated for the year covered by the
bill and contracts entered into for compile
tion of the WORK and of its continuance
without serious interruption as has some
work was entirely dependent on the river
and harbor appropriation of each Congress.

tional contracts entered into, aggrezating
s32, ISL, coo. Of this amount the Missis-
sppl river gets SIC, 900, 600; the great lakes,
50, 34j, 600; Columbia river (Oregon), 81.
7O0,0 C0; Hudson river, 81, 446, 000 and the
remainder to some Atlantic coast cities.
Of the Mississippi appropriation S7O0, 600
is to be expended from the mouth of the
Ohio to the mouth of the Missouri, and
IS, 0O0, 0C0 from the mouth Of the Missouri
to ST. Paul. The remainder for the river
south of the Ohio.
In the great lakes project $500, 600 is sp-
propriated for ship canal 81 feet deer
and 300 feet wide, in the shadows of the
connecting waters between the great lakes.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Lamson Bros, a
big BOARD of trade firm, are reported to

They are under surveillance
The two young men, it is asserted, began
by making phenomenal profit on the big
rise in wheat to lis in August last, win
which they had luckily placed. This sum
they divided, reserving half for future
operations on the board and spending the
other half in rlOtous living. The $l6. coo
capital was wholly wiped out liz the long de-
cline which set in and the two daring scalp
ers hoping for turn, resorted to frauds
against their employers, into which they
were daily obliged TO plunge deeper. The
deal which finally swamped them was the
purchase of 300, 900 bushels at %. To-day
the market touched S335 Smith was
cashier and Whitaker had charge of the
accounts of customers of the firm. Both
young men enjoyed the full confidence Of
their employers, and were thus enabled
with greater facility to use their en-
ployers' money to speculate. AS one OF
the clerks of the firm said to-day, they had
been "thorough-going sports since they
began operations on their own account
with their employers money. and it was
nothing at all fer them to change their
clothes three times day, looming a styl-
ish suit each time"

Rumors About The Crisis in GERMANY.

BERLIN, March 21.-In consequence of the
ministerial crisis the most exaggerated re-
ports are in circulation as TO the course the
Emperor will follow, but when traced to
their source they are found to be ut! erlv
without foundation. Reports have been
circulated as to what the Emperor said and
did at the meeting of the ministers Thurs
day ana scattered broadcast by sensational
writer's. AS a matter of fact the onlv
sources from which any information could
have been derived as to what transplred
were the Emperor or ministers. The lat
ter refused absolutely to divulge anything
and no one thinks the Emperor made it his
business to inform newspaper correspond
ents on the subject.
A report was started to-day the chancel-
lor has resigned the presidency of the Prus-
sian council of ministers, but would retain
the CHARACTERISTIC. 1t can be said with no
fear of denial the statement is based purely
on conjecture. The chancellor was sum
moned to Huoertustock by the Emperor
TO discuss what action the govern
ment should take on the primary eGu-
cation bill and other matters connected
with the present crisis, but there was no
question as to the chancelior's resignation
Of either effice for the simple reason he
never tendered his resignation, Caprivi
has always held with Bismarck the chan
cellorship of the empire and the presidency
of the Prussian council must be united. It
can be further stated the action of the
Emperor on the resignation of Count Won
Zedlitz Trutschler is not yet known, even
10 the ministry. The majority's decision on
the the reformation of the cabinet is still
known only to himself

Enlarged-In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 2i.-It is likely a
radical reform in the matter of the privil-
eye afforded members in extending their
speeches in the Record will result for the in
vestigation into the transgressions of Mr.
Walker, of Massachusetts. Ever since the
session opened there has been warm politi-
cal rivalry between Republican and Demo-
cratic Representatives from the Bay state
and Walker has had several lively bouts
with Hoar and Williams, whom he takes
pleasure in designating alternately as
"Mugwumps" and Kindergarten Demo-
Gratis" His intersection into the printed
report of his speech of some head lines
about ''Hot shot for Mugwumps,r ETC.,
caused Mr.. Williams to rise to a question
OF personal privilege last week and the
committee on printing to-day submitted q
report on the matter accompanied by q
resolution declaring the House expresses
its disapproval of the supplementary
language used by Walker in that portion of
his speech printed although not delivered
on the floor, and that the whole of the unde-
livered portion of the speech be expunged
from the Record. The report will be con-
sidered tomorrow.
Enloe, of Tennessee, offered a reso-
luton calling on the secretary of
the treasury for list of all persons
employed in the coast and geodetic
survey whose salaries were increased or
decreased during 1890. Also for list of
those dismissed or resigned during that
year. Enloe said he had information from
a discharged employee that the coast sur
vey was In the hands of ring. The reso-
luton was adopted.
The committee on printing reported in
favor Of expunging from the Congressional
Record of the 18th all that portion of the
speech of Walker, of Massachusetts, which
refers to Mugwumps ETC., but which was
not delivered. The House then went into
committee Of the whole on the army ap-
preparation bill.
a long discussion took place during con-
sideratlon of the army appropriation bill
over the point of order raised by Grain, of
Texas, against the proviso in the bill that
hereafter no money appropriated for
army transportation shall be used in pay
ment OF transportation on ,non-aided lines
owned, controlled or operated by the
Union Pacific company or by the Southern
Pacific over lines embraced in its Pacific
system. The chair sustained the point on
the ground the proviso made permanent
law. 1t was then amended to be made ap-
plicabie only to the present bill. This was
agreed 10, and the committee having risen,
the bill passed The House went into
