the amendments creating a "division Of
agrostology with chief at $2500 gave
rise to discussion in which criticism
was made of "chiefs of divisions in
the agricultural department..
The whole scheme of running an agri-
cultural dempartmeHt was characterized
by MI. Hale as an abuse. From year to
year he said, the department. have been
dividing and sub-diylding and creating
divisions.
MI. Hale asserted that for the money
it expended. it had from three to six
times a larger proportion Of large salaries
than any other department Of the gov
ernment. He thought the work ought to
be done in mole modest and less
titular way. Finally compromise was
made between advocates and opponents
of the division of soils and of division of
agrostology. The bill passed and a

What the Thunderer Has to Say About the
Situation.
London, March 3.-The Times, COM
menting upon the Spanish-Ameriocan
situation, says that should President
Cleveland decide upon peremptory line
of action there is every reason to an
ticipate war which may be more
troublesome than the Washington politi-
cians expect. Spain may have little
chance of inflicting decisive defeat on
the United States, but it is at least
doubtful whether the latter can deoisiyely
defeat Spain without an expenditure far
greater and more prolonged than entered
into the calculations of the sympathizers
of the Cuban rebels. There are other
continental nations whose sympathies, at
all events, would be entirely on the side
Of Spain in such struggle.

Anco IeStefuay-Che Senate's Work.
Washington, March 8. 3.-Today's session
of the House was almost wholly devoted
to the discussion of the amendments pro
posed to the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill to make the
offices OF district attorneys and United
States narshals, salaries one, inst ead Of
paid by fees. 1t was advocated BY several
members and opposed by none. Mr.. Hart
mann, Republican of Montana, and Mr..
Gardner, Republican, attacked the in
equalities in the BILL which they asserted
Disseminated unjustly against the off,
cials in their states. Mr.. Gillet Repu bli-
can of Massachusetts, explained for the
judiciary committee that it made up
schedule of salaries in view of what con-
stituted tair and adequate salary in the
district for which it was provided, and
also fur what the officials had done. The
matter will be further considered tomor-
row under the fiye-minute rule, when
amendments will be in order.
A mistake having been made In the
message conveying the Cuban resolu-
ti0ns passed yesterday to the Senate,
whereby there are described as the House
concurrent resolutions, instead OF a sub
stitute for the Senate resolution, reso-
luton was adopted. asking the return of
them in order to make the necessary cor
rection. They were shortly returned In
accordance with the request.
The Senate joint resolution agreed to
on the motion of Mr. Baker, Republi-
can, of New Hampshire, authorizing
the Secretary of War to return to the
State of New Han pshire tho flag of the
1lth regiment Of that state.

On the Grand Trunk.

The first train for Montreal and the
west over the Grand Trunk, will be
started this morning if Cobb's bridge is
completed in time, but of that, there was
no absolute assurance up to late hour
last, night although such result lseemed
at least possible. The bridge proved to
be a very bad job. 1t was necessary to
pile it, and the bad and rock formed bot
tom made the work of drawing the piles
long and hard, and most costly one,
when it is taken intoTconsideration that
the business of the line from Chicago to
Portland was retarded by that single
bridge, and that has been the case with
II through freights. Mr.. A. Findley is
IN charge of the work and it is need less
to say that he is hustler.
The men have been forced to contend
against almost every possible obstacle.
The river is full of ice and it has at times
been serious question what to do with
it. The water is still high and the men
are exposed to wet and cold. Under hs
circumstances, the progress made bas

Cleveland with the minority.

Cl6V0ldnO WIN the M1nOrIfV.
New York. March 8.-The Washington
correspondent Of the Herald sends his
paper the following despatch:
''The administration stands with the
minority in Congress inopposition to the
Cuban resolutions. 1 can state positively
that the President very much deprecated
the action which has been taken by the
Senate and the House of Representatives
and that If the resolutions should be
joint in their character, as was one time
contemplated, they would be vetoed. He is
just as much opposed to recognizing tho
belligerency of the Insurgents today as
he was three months ago for the reason
that he did not believe they had yet made
such Roadway toward the establishment
of defaot government and complying
with the requisite conditions as would
properly entitle them to recognition. Ths
President is also opposed to such action
for the reason that he does not see what
the Cubans are to gain by it. The Unit
ed States would be required to maintain
a position of neutrality just az strict or
even more strict than under the present
conditions and this would operate against
the Cubans, who would desire to obtain
arms and mum lions of war in this coun-
try. while Spain not depending upon the
United States in any way, would not be
interfered with.
"He is in full sympathywith those fsa-
lures Of each set of resolutions reoom-
mending the use of the good, offices of the
United States to bring about termina-
tion of the war, and at the proper time
he will offer to use his good offices for
that PURPOSE"
