THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
In the Senate Doings Depend on Work
of the Finance Committee.


of the Finance Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-The COM
ing week in the Senate will depend
entirely upon the progress made by
the Finance Committee. If the ideas
held by the members of that commit
tee prevail it is probable that there
will be no more adjournments for two
or three days at a time. Chairman
Morrill, of the Finance Committee ex-
poets to have here the committee re-
port, both of the bond and tariff bills,
on the regular meeting day, Tuesday
next. Democratic members of the COM
mittee, however, assert that they will
not agree to it's report then. 1t is con-
ceded that the bill will reach the SEN
ate with the enacting clause stricken
out and a free coinage bill substituted,
on which debate may extend for a fort
night.
The present intention Of the Finance
Committee appears to be to report the
tariff bill as it came from the House.
There have been numerous Republican
conferences between the rank and file
and the leaders, having for their pur-
pose the. concentration of the whole
strength of the Republican vote as
against any and all amendments that
may be offered.
The unfinished business before the
Senate is the resolution of Elkins de-
claring it to be the sense of the Senate
that hereafter no bonds shall be sold
without first advertising for bids, and
the amendment thereto by Butler pro-
hibiting the sale of bonds in any man
ner.
This business will come up again dur
the morning hour on Tuesday.
The House of Representatives will
probably settle down to the transac-
tion of business according to the usual
routine this week. The first thing to be
presented doubtless will be the report
of the Committee on Rules. The House
has been operating under the rules of
the Fifty-first Congress, but expert
ence has shown that some slight
changes are necessary and desirable.
Should the rules be disposed of on
Tuesday the Committee on Appropria-
tions will submit the general pension
bill on Wednesday for action by the
House For month or so the more
important work of the House will be
done in committee rooms.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-The American cor

Americans believe that their attitude of
demanding arbitration is one which civ
ilized men must sympathize with. In
support of this, the whole Union, if
needful, will speak with absolutely one
voice. AT the same time, there is herei
an infinite desire to see an immediate
and amicable settlement.

their earnest sentiments. The people

IRRIGATION IN NEBRASKA.
The Courts Decision Affirming the
Law Causes a Demand for Lands.

LINCOLN (Neb), Jan. 5.-The rec
ords of the office of the Secretary of
the State Board of Irrigation show
that the claims for water rights are
coming in at a rate which had not been
anticipated by the most ardent en-
thusiast among irrigationists. 1t is
shown that there have been claims filed
covering 100000 acres of land, and it
is expected that this will be increased
by May 1st, the end of the first year of
the boards work under the new law, to
fully 100000 The rapidity of the
fling of applications during the past
month is the result of the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court which af
firmed the constitutionality of the new
irrigation law passed by the last Legis-

The Kaiser's New Year reception was
also devoid of interest In talking with
the ambassadors who called upon him
the Emperor made no reference to pol
tiles and confined himself wholly to
social topics. United States Embas-
sador Runyon had a pleasant chat with
the Emperor, who inquired about the
health of President Cleveland and also
asked the ambassador how he himself
had enjoyed the holidays. In convers-
ing with the Generals at the arsenal
the Emperor confined himself to mat
ters Of detail and expressed hope that
the coming autumn military maneuvers
would be as grand and successful as
those held at Stettin last year.
Baron Hammerstein, the fugitive ex-
editor of the "Kreuz Zeitung," who
was arrested in Athens last week by
thefGerman police, is still in custody in
Italy. The formalities involved in the
securing of his extradition will occupy
fortnight. He is being closely
watched, for fear he may commit sui
eide. His wife and two daughters are
with him. The Baroness has written a
letter to friend in which she says:
After being duped by others, my hus-
band probably became a deceiver him
self. We have lost everything, but legal
action against him will prove more
disagreeable to others than to US"
1t became known that Hammerstein's
wife had joined him, people having
asked what had become of his former
mistress, Flora Gaes. 1t has been
learned that she has gone to Bale,
Switzerland, where she is staying with
her mother. Flora is well educated and
prior to her liaison with Hammerstein
was employed upon the editorial staff
of the Bale "Grenzboten.''
The German group proposing to take
the new American loan held a meeting
in the offices of the Deutsehe Bank on
Saturday, and will hold another meet
ing on Monday, when it is expected
that they will definitely arrange a deal
with the London firms to cooperate
in securing gold to the amount of $50,
100000 with the option of securing an
additional $25, 100000, if it should be
required. It is understood that in New
York number of German banking
houses are desirous Of sharing in the
operations of the group.
Under the Presidency of the Duke of
Albrecht and Macklenburg, committees
are being formed in Berlin, Hamburg
and other German cities for the purpose

| POSTOFFICE CHANGE.
The Old Private Letter Box
System May Soon Be
Abolished.
Much Larger L tter.Carrier Service
Will Be Arranged-Sunday
Delivery.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Jones in his annual report to the depart
ment suggested that the private postoffice
boxes be abolished. Assistant Post
master Doyle, in the San Francisco Post
office, stated yesterday that this is in the
line of Improvements in the service that
is favored at Washington. In this City
the boxes rent for So a quarter.
The Postoffice authorities are very de-
sirous of having all mail matter delivere d
by the regular carriers. One objection is
that these boxes are too often used for
improper purposes. That is, women of
questionable character and men who do
not want their correspondence delivered
at their homes or places of business re-
sort to the private postoffice letter-boxes.
Criminals also frequently hire boxes in
the postoffice and carry on secret CORE
spondence. There are several other OBJ
iectionable features.
There is also q desire to increase the
letter-carrier's service and have the money
spent in the rental of these boxes go TO
the payment OF men who will deliver the
mail matter free. This could be easily
done by increasing the appropriation of
the service.
II the wishes of the high officials are
carried out there will no doubt be a regu-
lar delivery of mail on Sundays, while at
present the public is unable to secure its
letters until Monday or go to the Post
office boxes. A few hotels secure q special
delivery OF letters on Sunday.

Suburban Residents Deprived Of Facilities
for Extingulshing Fires
CHICO, Sept. 11.-This afternoon a fire
started in the lumber mill of s. J. Keller
in Bryan's addition to Chico, and in a
short time the whole interior of the
building was in blaze. There was no
means of fighting the fire at hand. a
high wind was blowing and the fire soon
communicated to the dwelling of J. H.
Smith, situated near the hill. From the
Smith residence the flames spread to
theree small houses belonging to Keller
and the residence of c. S. Billings5y
From the Billingsby residence the
flames spread to a large lumber shed
belonging to Keller, which was full of
lumber. AS the fire was outside the
city limits, the Chico fire department
was not allowed to turn on the water
and all the buildings were total loss.
1t was only by very hard work by resi-
dents Of the vicinity that many more
buildings were not consumed. About a
week ago this same mill caught fire, but
before much harm was done the flames
were extinguished. The total loss is
about $4,000.

EDINBURGH, Sept. 11.-At today $
session of the British Trades union con-
gress it was decided to sent two tele-
grams to the American labor congress.
A resolution was adopted that in the
opinion of the congress the custom pre-
vailing in the government dock yards of

in the construction of her majesty ships
ought to be discontinued. A resolution
against the employment of children un-

the opinion that railway servants shouI
not be employed continuously for more
than eight hours, nor more than forty

ing for legislation which shall give the
class OF workers composing the union
