most important propositions submitted
to congress will be presented to the

turer as salaried office, and to district

DoINGs IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, March 14-In the con-
sideration of the sundry civil bill today
when the items were reached making
appropriations for river and harbor i'm
provements under the continuing con-
tract system, Mr.. Wilson, republican, of
Washington, created sensation by a
severe denunciation of the system and
the various river commissions.
The appropriation for the geological
survey, which usually encounters bitter
opposition, today passed unchallenged.
The amount appropriated is $4,000.
Mr. Sweet, republican, of Idaho, of
fered an amendment to increase the
appropriation for surveying public lands
from $175.OOO to s25O,OOO. Defeated-2S to
sc.
Mr.. Wilson offered an amendment to
permit the state of Washington to Sc
lect from lands in that state as they
are surveyed, land granted to the state
for educational purposes. Agreed to.
On motion of Mr.. Coffin, of Wyoming,
his state was included in the list of the,
states where additional compensation
for surveys should be allowed on ac-
count of heavily timbered or mountain
Gus country.
Mr.. Hartman of Montana, republican.
again tried to have the total sum for
these surveys increased, this time to
100000. His amendment was lost-46
to 60.

rt Counts the word. a. the work Pro
crosses.

&c Counts the words as the work Pro-
crosses.
A Western genius has patented an
attachment for typewriting machines
that automatically counts the number
of words. There are three disks
In series, as common TO registering
and counting machines, the disk at
the right indicating units, The next
tens and the next hundreds, so that
the three are adapted to count up
300, and the series may be extended,h
desired, TO count and register any re-
uuired higher number The disks are
all moved from the units shaft, to
which rotary motion is impaired by
the movement of a slide worked up
and down by an adjustable connec
tion with the space key OF the ma
chine.
The counting mechanism may be
readily thrown out of gear Y desired,
and there Is also an arrangemen nj
by which the gong is struck at every
100 words. When the capacity of the
machine is reached the counting disks
are returned to o, or the normal po-
sition, by simply pressing upon but
ton or knob in the front of the case.
This counter can be made at small ex
pense and in addition TO its Other
uses, is designed to be particularly
valuable on typewriting machines
operated to print words coming on a
telegraph receiver, where the opera
tor writes out words from sound and
cannot so easily keep the count.

THE destruction of human life by
the forest fires that swept over por-
tions of Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan
this week makes it the most appalling
catastrophe OF the kind that ever oc-
Cured in this country. 1t is estimated
that 500 human beings perished in the
flames; the exact number will never be
known. There seems to have been no
possible means of escape. The flames,
driven by high winds, overlook the
fleeing people as they were striving to
reach places of safety and consumed
them by scores and hundreds as II
they had been tinder 1t was horrible
beyond description.
