THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The Denver Mint PrOpOsition-Ute
Remevai--Ilill Plays for Gold
Pacific Roads Lay Down.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The senate
amendments to the Chicago public build
ing bill we're agreed to by the house to-
day. The Denver mint bill was called up
by Chairman Bland, of the coinage COM
mittee. Mr.. Pence, of Colorado, spoke
of the advantages to be gained by coin
ing gold at the Denver assay Office, be-
cause of the large quantities of gold
mined in the surrounding country. In
reply to questions from Mr.. Dingley, of
Maine, he explained that the officers were
to be given the same compensation as
that received by those at the Carson City,
New, branch mint. 1t was agreed that a
vote should be taken at the end of the
session to-day. The house then went into
committee of the whole and resumed con-
sideration of the legislative appropria-
tion bill.
ExILED FROM HAWAII.
The state department will take vigor-
Gus measures in the case of j. Cranston,
who arrived at Vancouver yesterday on
the Warrimoo, exiled from Hawaii. The
United States comm mercial agent at Van
couver alleges that Cranston is an Ameri-
can citizen guiltless of any participation
in the rebellion, and that he was forcibly
placed aboard the steamer and exiled
without any trial, thereby suffering
severe pecuniary loss. Minister Willis
took his deposition before he was elected
from Hawaii, and is doubtless fully in
vestigating the matter there. Should
Cranston's assertions be borne out there
can he little question that he will have
good claim for indemnity against the
Hawaiian government.
ANOTHER MESSAGE.
The president to-day sent voluminous
message to congress in response to
resolution asking for detailed informa-
tion relating to the enforcement of regu-
lations respecting fur seals adopted by
the governments of the United States
and Great Britain in accordance with the
decision OF the tribunal of arbitrators
convened at Paris.
AN APPOINTMENT.
The president to-day appointed J. H.
Nelson Patrick, of Omaha, government
director for the Union Pacific railroad.
THE UTE REMOVAL.
The senate to-day agreed to the con-
ference report on the Southern Ute In
dian removal bill.
HILL GOLD BUG.
Senator Hill has introduced resolu-
tion declaring that coin bonds shall be
payable in gold if the government can
not maintain parity between gold and
silver.
THE PACIFIC ROADS.
The house committee on Pacific rail-
ways gave hearing to-day to representa-
tives of the companies. E. Ellery Ander-
son, receiver and government director of
the Union Pacific; A. A. H. Boisevain, who
represents large foreign holdings in the
same company, and G. H. Tweed, of the
Central Pacific, presented a proposition
of the corporations to settle their gov
ernment debts by payment of the princi-
pal thereon, an arrangement by which
the Union Pacific company will pay the
United States about $33,50000O and the
Central Pacific about $27,500000.

We understand that some ex-
pertinent is soon to be made at
the natural gas wells near Breaux
Bridge. in this parish. For a long
time the gas is known to exist,
and many are those who have
made small holes in the ground
and set the gas coming from it on
FIRE and left it burning until put
out by the rain. The test that
will be made shortly will establish
the value of the gas, and in what
quantity.

AN EXTENSIVE ESTABLISH.
MENT.

In making our turn for news
this week we stopped at the esta-
blishment of Mr.. Louis G. Dr.
champ, on St. Martin street, to
look at his large varied stock.
We were really surprised to zee
so large stock in all the differ
ent lines as that carried by Mr..
Duchsmp. No one has an idea
of the stock of goods carried by
Mr.. Duchamp unless he goes FIRST
in the store where he will find a
full stock, nextin the large ware
house back of his store, which was
recently built, than another ware.
house in the yard which is filed
with lime, cement sand ETC., and
next the large warehouse facing
the bayou, which is a two story
building. In this building we
found ON tho lower floor a car
load of salt, a car load of char.
coal, a car load of molasses aud
syrup, and large quantity of
lime, cement etc. On the upper
floor We saw a car load Of bran,
one of oats, one of hay, two or
three car loads of wheelwright
material, car load Of plows, one
of cultivators, corn and cotton
planters etc. In fact Mr.. Du-
champ has the largest stock ever
seen in this town even before the
war.
As to the assortment in every
line, we could not guess or call
for anything that Mr.. Duchsmp.
did not show us, and at prices
that we're surprisingly low.
8, To give a faint idea of tho ex-
tensiveness of the business Mr..
Duchamp is doing We will simply
say that his freight bill paid to
the Railroad in eleven months
amounted to 50, 1900.
This establishment is worth q
visit even if it is only to satisfy
ones curiosity. and much more 80
if you mean business.
