TIE DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Discussion of Appropriation Still the
Principal Business.


Washington, Aug. 1.-THE session Of
the House to-day was confined to the con-
sideration of two items I'm the sundry civil
appropriation bill upon which the con
ferees had found themselves unable TO
agree. The first related 10 the irrigation
and reclamation of arid lands, and as 70
this the House voted TO recede from its
disagreement to the Senate amendment
with an amendment of its own. This
amendment proposed TO give 10 each of
the states containing these arid lands
1000, 900 acres upon certain conditions,
the chief one being that 81 per acre
should be expended by the states in irri-
eating the lands.
The amendment directing the Secretary
of the Treasury to purchase the Malone
lot for a site for the government printing
Office at cost not exceeding S250,000 was
the last remaining item of disagreement
TO be acted on.
Motions were made by Mr.. Bretz, dem,
Of Indiana that the House recede from its
disagreement to the Senate amendment
with an amendment TO locate the printing
Office on what Is known as the
Fish Commission Reservation !" and by
Mr. Bankhead, dem, OF Alabama, 10 pur-
chase the lot adjoining the present site
and extend the building over it, The dis
cusslon altogether related 10 the question
of eligibility of sites, IL being conceded
on all sides that new building was
crying necessity.
The proposition to purchase the Ma
hone lot, the Senate amendment, was de-
feated-l27 TO SO. The proposition TO
erect the printing office on the Fish
Commission Reservation" was also de-
feated-l05 TO 70.
The proposition to purchase ground ad-
joining the present site and extend the
building thereon was agreed to-l3s 10 Al.
The House agreed 10 a conference on
the items still in controversy; the old
conferees were reappointed and the House,
at 4 o'clock, adjourned till Monday
Immediately after the House adjourned
a call for a caucus Of democratic mem
bers for 10 o'clock Monday morning was
read. The call was received with ap-
plause from the democrats, the repub-
licans keeping silent.

A MICHIGAN MAYOR.

and the Fire Department.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. lI-Mayor Ping
rec this afternoon swore out warrants
against Bruce Goodfellow, president of
the fire department committee, Secre-
tary Tryon OF the committee and Assist
ant Fire Chief Elliott, charging them
with conspiracy and assault, and they
have been arrested.
The trouble arose over an order which
the mayor gave local reporter 10 exam
Inc the books of the fire commission. The
reporter was refused access TO the books
by Secretary Tryon last evening, and the
mayor went in person with the reporter
to the office Of the fire department and
demanded to see the books. The Office
was closed, and President GoodfellOw re-
fused TO reopen it, An alteration ensued,
when Goodfellow called on Elliott
to throw the reporter from the
building, Mayor Pingree interposed
ana several fremen were called up from
below. While two OF three of them held
Mayor Pingree the rest elected the re
porter. The city lawyers advised the
may or that he had right to examine the
books al any time, and that the obstrucJ-
ing commissioners and employees could be
charged with conspiracy, hence the war
rant.
Messrs. Goodfellow, Tyson and Elliott
were arraigned i'll the police court, and

a Contemplated Lynching.

negro arrested at Rossville, charged
with criminal assault upon the s-year-old
daughter of S. a. Crook, near Canda-
vile, was yesterday, while in charge of
a deputy sheriff, met by the father Of the
outraged child, who opened fire with a
shotgun, emptying both barrels into the
negro, placing him beyond the necessity
of the lynching for which preparations
were making near the scene of the
crime. The outrage was committed last
Monday night, while MIR. Crook was away
from home. The negro entered the house,
crawled into bed with the children and
proceeded to assault the eldest, but was
driven off by the mother, who was called
from an adjoining room by the screams of
her children

THE N1oARAeUAN CANAL.
Uncle Sam Must Have the Right tC
Control 1t.

London, Aug. 11.-Messrs. Weed and
Bartlett, who are reported to have come
to England to seek financial aid for the
Nicaraguan Canal Company, said in an
interview this evening:
while the shareholders of the Nicara-
guam Canal Company are patriotic and
willing to let the United States, on any
fair basis, carry out the enterprise, they
do not propose TO be idle or let the pro-
1ect collapse. If the United States will
not carry out the enterprise, therefore,
we shall not refuse any fair
proposal from another source. We
shall only stipulate that until
a large amount be paid, the first claim
in the enterprise shall be reserved
to the United States. If congress delays
action until European capital shall have
been invested, it must not complain 1t
really makes little difference whence the
money comes, inasmuch as the canal must
always be neutral and open to the world s
commerce"
Both gentlemen were hopeful that they
would be successful in their mission.

lincoln, Neb., Aug. 1.-THE remains
of eleven bodies of persons who perished
in the terrible wreck on the Rock Island

reason to believe that any more can be
identified. The report that A K Eddie

in their homes at Pawnee City.
The colored ex-conyict George Wash

ming on suspicion of having caused the
wreck, neither denies nor afirms the
charge. He holds a bad record around
these parts, and suspicion points very
strongly toward him. At the coroner S

was, if anything, favorable to the negro.

TIE SOUTH AND HAWAII.

Hon. Chauncey F. Black, Of
Pennsylvania, addressed the con-
veGtion OF the Democratic clubs Of
North Carolina several weeks
since. He said that the Nicaragua
Canal was the question Of ques-
tions" at the South, because it
would open up its resources to the
Pacific Ocean. He thought that
the Republican party would not
favor the opening, because 1t might
give advantages to Inc South over
the North. In view of the import
ance of the canal, he would have
the Democratic party rally TO the
support Of the proposition to &C
quire Hawaii. He thought that
the opening Of the canal would
make an outlet for the cotton goods
of the South, and he wanted to see
Hawaii stand as a sentinel over
It's Western terminus. The con-
vention endorsed his views with en-
thusiasm.
The Richmond Despatch says
that Hawaii and Nicaragua will
appear in the platforms of both
parties in 1896; that the annexa-
ton of Hawaii will be demanded
as strongly, at that time, as the
annexation of Texas was demand
ed in 1874.

THE JAPANESE ~ TIE UNITED
STATES.

1t is reported from Washington,
Gays the y. Y. Sun, that the reason
why a new treaty has not been con-
cluded, between Japan and the
United States is, that Mr.. Gresham
insists that one OF It's provisions
shall be, the right, on the part Of
the United States, to exclude Japan
csc from their soil. There has
been, so far, only a very moderate
immigration from Japan, but, mod
crate as it il, it is causing some
discussion on the Pacific Coast.
If the japanese are free to come
and go, 90 far az the United States
are concerned, it is quite evident,
that the high price of labor on the
Coast will attract multitudes Of the
Japanese to it in the course Of time,
especially as their own government
has, lately, ceased to be paternal,
and allows the people perfect free
dom Of travel.
1t is thought, in Washington,
Gays the Sun, that it will not do to
make treaty with Japan, at pres
emit, without reserving this right, to
the United States, to restrict i'm
migration from the former country.
On the other hand, it is claimed,
that the present general alien law
Of the Federal government, is very
sweeping, and that Japanese labor
ers can be kept out of the States,
under its provisions, without pro-
viding for restrictions in the treaty
itself.
Owing to the difficulty of coming
to an understanding in this matter,
there has been a delay, which has
enabled the British government to
make the first treaty with Japan,
which recognizes her absolute SOW
ereignty on her own territory, and
the United States, for a time at
least, ceases to be regarded as thed
one true, and steadfast friend of |
Japan. No Japanese statesman
will dare to negotiate any treaty, |
which suggests that the Japanese
are not as good az the Americans
or any other people.
