THE APPROPRIATIONS FIGHT.
The River and Harbor nill May De
Passed by Congress To-Day

Washington City. April 5.-This promises
to be an exceedingly lively week in the
house. Tomorrow the house will vote on
the adoption of the conference report on
the Cuban resolutions. which were debated
on Friday and Saturday. II Is a foregone
conclusion that the report will be adopted
by an overwhelming vote, but 1t is prob
able there will be more members recorded
against it than agains, the passage OF the
original resolutions.
Immediately afterward an effort viii be
made to pass the river and harbor bill
under a suspension of the rules. The bill
carries something over 100000 in actual
appropriations, but authorizes contracts
for almost SIC, S,o, 600 additional. The DEM
ocrats would like an opportunity TO attack
the bill because of the enormous charge 1t
makes upon the treasury in the future.
and they will make all the resistance they
are able to. Their opposition Ii not likely
to be. effectual, and. moreover, there are
many features OF the bill in which indivfd-
uals are interested. When a motion to
suspend the rules Is made but forty min
utes' debate Is allowed on a side. but 1t Is
certain that an extension of time will be
made TO two or three hours
Following the passage Of the river and
harbor bill. Mr.. Pickler. chairman of the
invalid pensions committee, will probably
call up, on Tuesday. one OF the general
bills reported by his committee. There are
else two election cases TO be disposed OF,
one of which will unseat Judge Cobb. of
the Fifth Alabama district. BY Wednes-
day ii Is expected the Notifications bill viii
be completed and II will probably occupy
the attention OF the house for the remain
der of the week

SILER TO BIZ POSTMASTER.
OF tho Strain OF Democrats Who Still
Hate the National Flag.

Washington City, April 5.-The appoint
ment of r. T. Siler. as postmaster at
Vance. Lewis county. Is announced, TO
succeed J. l. Randles. Siler Is said to be
the man who was going to shoot the
United States flag full OF holes II they
sang Marching Through Georgia. when
they went past his place during a recent
parade there. Siler. however. was recon-
mended by Frank Donahue, state senator.
and the Democratic powers that be in
Washington, and as the other applicants
were all Republicans, Of course he had no
trouble IN securing the appointment. Most
OF the patrons OF the ONCE wanted Thomas
j. McMahon appointed, but as he was .
Republican, all Endorsements OF him were
SO much letter paper and ink wasted. Now.
it Is said Siler proposes to move the once
to his place. which Is two miles OF the
main road, and statement has bsen made
to the authorities here that In order to
deceive the department he has had the de-
scription of the proposed new site falsely
drawn up. The signing Of Mr.. Siler's COM
mission only awaits the return OF prop
erly executed bond. and 1t Is customary to
change the location Of the ONCE when
ever that is desired. at the same time OF
signing the commission.

however, holds that the appellant alleges
no fact that affects the validity of Clarke
entry. and Bashford's entry was properly
rejected.

the case of the Northern Pacific against
the United States and settlers, from the
commissioners rejection OF said COM
pany's selections in indemnity list Al, for
lands in township Il north. range east.
Vancouver district. the commissioner is
sustained. The list was filed October p.
1891. and was rejected as TO lands specifi-
cally described in the commissioners de-
cision because these tracts were covered
with existing entries which we're made be-
fore any selections were fled. The secre-
tary says: so far as the entries were
made before selection. they are held in

of fling were vacant, unappropriated and

bered sections within the limits of the
