APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The Senate Committee Reports Favor
ably on the Urgency Deficiency.

The Senate Committee Reports Favor
ably on the Urgency Deficiency.
WASHINGTON, Jan. s. - The Senate
Committee on Appropriations to-day
authorized a favorable report on the
urgency deficiency bill, which has been
held in the committee since December
11th- The bill as it will be reported to-
morrow will carry provision for the
collection of the income tax, and it will
not contain any amendments for the
alteration of the present tariff law, as at
one time seemed probable it would. 1t
will be plain appropriation bill, and If
1t IS antagoniZed at all it will be because
OF the income tax appropriation.
The total appropriation made is 81, 1868, =
QUO. which is reduction Of $l45, 595 from
the total OF the House bill. This reduc-
ton is due to the fact that separate bills
were passed before the holidays to meet
the urgency at the printing and census
offices. The passage OF these bills re-
duced the total 10 the extent of S40O 600
The committee added appropriations
amounting to S256, 405. There is an addi-
ton OF so, 900 for the enforcement of the
Chinese Exclusion Act. The bill also re-
enacts the provision, which by error was
lett out OF the sundry civil bill last year,
allowing S25 per mile Tor the survey of
mountainous and heavily tim bered lands
in the public lands States.
The Senate Appropriation Committee
also completed consideration of the new
appropriation bill, and authorized ia
vorable report on it. There are several
minor changes in the bill, but the total is
the same as provided by the bill as it
passed the House-S23, ,259, sos. This is a
reduction from the present appropriation,
which is S23, ,592, ,S84, and from the esti-
mate for the present year, which was
S24, ,605, So.

FIFTY-FoURrH CONGRESS.

Republicans and Populists May Com
b1ne to Organize the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-There is one
consideration which has not SO far been
taken into account, which may influence
the Republican and PopuIist Senators to
come together at the first meeting of the
Senate after the 4th of March for the re-
organization of that body, and that is the
effect that such combination or the
failure to make 1.-THE opportunity being
presented-would have upon the two
parties in the Southern States.
1t is understood that Southern repre-
sentatives of both parties are bringing
this phase OF the question to the atten-
ton OF Senators, and urging that an or
ganlzatlon IN which both parties would
have representation in the distribution
OF patronage and the arrangement OF the
committees would be the best evidence it
would be possible to give the Southern
voters of the effectiveness of this Joint
work in the late campaign. and the
strongest assurance possible to give them
that the com mblnatlon had not been made
before the people merely for the purpose
of hoodwinking them.
The Populists claim that in addition to
senators Peffer, Allen, Kyle and Stew
art, the avowed Populists now sitting in
the Senate, Senator Jones of Nevada will
certainly act with them, as will Senators
lrby and Pillman of South Carolina and
MIR. Butler of North Carolina, giving
them representation of eight Senators
after March 4th.
n great many Republicans disparape
the Idea OF any reorganization. and
many who are not adverse to it conten d
that an agreement between the Repuh-
licans and Democrats is more natu raj
than combination of Republicans and
Populists.

ton Until Tuesday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce had
the House pooling bill under considera-
ton to-day and postponed final commit
tee action until next tuesday, when the
committee meets again. The expressions
o-day were generally favorable to the
bill and the belief was expressed after
adjournment that it will be reported
practically without amendment at the
next meeting.
The amendment suggested by Chair
man Morrison of the Interstate Com
merce Commission was discussed at some
length, but the opinion seemed to pre-
vail that if the bill be amended in any
way at SO late day it would fail because
OF the antagonism in the Senate. 1t was
resolved. however, to invite Colonel Nor
rlson to be present ct the next NEE ing to
explain the amendment he suggests
The change that he desires to secure is
one which will make it evident to the
country that the commission had not
power to supervise and control pooling
contracts before they take effect. Colonel
Morrison says in his letter there appears
TO be an impression prevalent that the
bill as 1t stands gives the commission
this supervision, but this is not true.

LOSS OF THE MONTsERRAT.

Stanchion of tho Collier Found

PORT TOWNSEND, Jan. S.-A stanchion
belonging to the collier Montserrat was
found last Saturday nineteen miles south
west of Cape Flattery by the tug Pioneer.
and taken to Port Angeles, where it was
Identified by several shipping men as be-
longing to that ill-tated vessel. The
stanchion is about six feet long, five
inches in diameter and painted black at
both ends and white in the middle, and
bore evidence of having been torcibly
wrenched from the main deck, where 1t
was used to support the skids which
support the lifeboats. Ship Captains
who are familiar with the Montserrat
positively identify the timber as having
come from the lost collier.
The strangest part of the incident is
how the stanchion came to be found at
this late day. when it is generally con-
ceded that the vessel foundered about
December 9th, since which strong south
erly gales and currents should have car
ried it up the Vancouver Island shore.

IlOnaHy Bill.
BERLIN, Jan. S.-The Reichstag reas-

on the anti-revolutlonary bill. Herr
Auer said the Government introduced
the measure so that in the event of it's ex-
pected rejection there would be pretext
for the dissolution OF Parliament, in or
der to obtain from new Parliament in
creased grants for military purposes.
The reason assigned for Introducing the
blll, that the existing penal laws are in
adequate, was not warranted.
Auer declared that such arguments
were always used when it was intended
to curtail the liberties of citizens. The
volutiOnary bill, he insisted, was
solely directed against The Social Demo-
Gratis. Auer concluded with the assertion
that the agrarians, anti-Semites and lin
cal theologians could be easily struck by
the bill. Not everyone agreed that there
was necessity for protection of the mon
archy. Large numbers of Germans, he
added, favored a republic, and there was
growing tendency towards Byzantine
rule, which DetOkens national decadence

SANTA Rosa, Jan. S.-Ben Buckley.
the famous Sonoma County wild man,
who for twenty years lived in mud hole
in fence corner in Blucher Valley, came

Buckley is one of the most celebrated
hermits in California. He thinks he is
President of the United States and
claims Cleveland is pretender. About

by highwaymen on his road home from
the village store and badly beaten. Since
that time he has been the victim OF d
strange halluciuation that he is President
and that it is unsafe for him to live or
sleep in house.
On the Cunningham ranch in Blucher
Valley ne built himself small rail pen
and in this, on the bare ground, with
nothing between him and the sky, he
slept every night for these many years.
All attempts to have him leave his miser-
able home failed. All through the hard
winter rains he lay beside hole in the
ground into which water from his wal
low ran. When this became filled with
water, he would bail it out with his old
hat. Sometimes he had fire, but when
it was storming hard it was impossible to
teasted OH the chickens, rabbits and
SQUIRRELS he found on his travels about
the dense woods.
He was harmless, but when disputed
with concerning his right TO the Presi-
dency he would rave and storm like
mailman. He did great deal of wood
chopping and it is claimed he had con-
siderable sum of money hidden i'll a
hollow tree near his peculiar lodge.
He came here lew days ago, but re-
fused to enter house. He said he was
going to Sacramento on pass to help
elect a United States Senator. He said
that ii the proper man is not put up he
will remove him. His appearance here
created quite a sensation, as it was be-
Ieved he would never leave his fence
