louise and Senate Lock Horns
Over Clerks.
The Senate Has the Best Of the
Argument.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The House
passed without amendment the fOrti-
6cations appropriation bill carrying
appropriations and authorizations in
vOlving an expenditure of 81, 3S4, 615.
The appropriations for Notifications
since the Endicott commission IN 1886
reported its plan for the defense of
twenty-seven seaports at an approx
mate cost of SIO0. 900, 900 have aver
aged something over 81, 600, 900 an
nually. During The debate there were
a number of references to our foreign
complications and the necessity Of pre-
pairing for any possible emergency
Only one voice was raised against the
passage of the bill. Mr.. Berry, Dem
oerat, of Kentucky, thought it would
be wiser to build ships capa bic Of
coping with the most powerful battle
ships of other nations than erect fixed
fOrtidca tiOns on our coasts.
Mr.. Bingham. Republican, Of Penn
sylvania presented the conference
report on the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, and
explained with reference to the para
graphs to abolish the fee system in the
case OF marshals, attorneys and United
States commissioners that the whole
question had been referred to joint
committee Of the judiciary committees
of the two Houses. who were to con
suit with the attorney general and
report to the conference committee.
The Senate, he said. had added
SE2e 900 to the House bill, of which
$50, 900 had been disposed of by the
House agreeing to S39, 600, the Senate
yielding the balance. About $3.50, 600
still remained in dispute; of that
amount S67 600 was for the increase OF
the salary list of the Senate employees,
Ghd as to this last he predicted the
House would have to yield. The rec
ord showed that the average cost of
employees to each membe of the
House was 1888, while that of each
mem Der of the Senate was 81, 4S3. JUS
tice to the House, be said, required
that these facts should be made noto-
riOus.
Mr.. Dockerv, Democrat of Missouri,
followed in the same line. He thought
it bat fair that the House should IN
derstand that the Senate had insisted
on an addition of thirty-eight annual
clerks to Senators not chairmen of
committees, and had also insisted on
the increase of the compensation of
their individual clerks from 81, 200 to
$500.
Mr. Hartman, Republican of Mon
tana, caused a scattering of applause
by stating that he proposed to offer a
resolution to instruct the cOnferrees
to yield to the Senate with an amend
ment for annual clerks for meh5bers
of the House
q Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the Appro-
priatlons committee, said that such
resolu ton would not be germane. If
mem bers desired pay for their clerks
during the vacations, he said, it must
either be done by independent legis-
lation or by appropriating the money
from the contingent fund Of the
House.
Mr.. Hartman's motion was ruled
out. and the report was then adopted
and a further conference agreed to.
Messrs. Bingham, Dockery and Nc
Call were appointed conferrees.

does seem a trile ridiculous to read in

Boy"
This distinguished namesake Of ne
president is drawing wages from I'm
Gle Sam and has to sign the pay roll
or did last year at any rate-along with
another Indian policeman named Gro
yer Mountain Sheep.
Political names are not common. but
they do get on the rolls. Witness,
Hoke Red Thunder. This is direct
bid for sympathy from the great and
good secretary Of the interior.
Most Of the first names are Anglo
Saxon. and they are to the true names
Of the Indians as a plug hat upon
Apollo Belvidere. Dismounts Thrice is
one mans name. That tells story
Of how when a little boy came into the
world, and with the first thin, sharp
squall he uttered getting the new
found air out Of his lungs to get more
in, and so keep up this process by day
and night until the world ended FOR
him, the father stepped out Of the te-
pee and he saw man get of his horse
three times. One wonders what was
up. Was he thrown off? What was he
about, anyhow? That was what went
into the mind Of this mans father. He
wondered at it and so named the child
for the first thing he saw.
But how It cheapens all to tack On
before the name the handle william.
Henry Look for Horses is another such
name. So is Ivan Star Comes Out
Where got he that Ivan? So is James

what is William Walks Under GrOund2

his first name? And what eastern man
viii think of chips as anything else
than what an Ak would cut from piece

storm muttering in the west when this

the rumble a tame affair. There are
plenty of men named Lightfoot, and
one man calls himself James c. Light

Some day If they don't all die of

disposition among the silver and

unanimous consent it had been
set for consideration at 2:15 yester-
day. but at that time Mr.. Chand-
Ter was proceeding with 3 speech
on the Dupont case, MIR. Gray was
waiting to follow, and Mr.. CullOm had
an appropriation bill in reserve. This
precipitated a clash. in which Mr.

Colorado and Mr.. Stewart Of Nevada,
asserted with emphasis that the bond
resolution could not be crowded out,
either by design or inadvertence An
agreement was finally reached that
the bond resolution would come up

According to the Boston Traveller, IL
is a common practice for the boys in
watch and iewelry factories to kill rats
which 1nfest the buildings and burn
the bodies to obtaiE the gold Many
oiled rags are used in Furnishing
watch cases and in time they become
impregnated with CORD. The rats eager
ly devour these rags, and few months
Of this kind of diet Ills the interior
mechanism of the rat with a gold plat
ing. Twice a year the boys have
grand cremation. The rats are caught
by the hundred and burned in a cruel
bic. The intense heat drives off all
animal substances and leaves the gold
in the shape of a little lump. The
amount Of the precious metal obtained
in this way is not large, but it gives
ingenious youngsters plenty Of pocket
money. In some factories young Ma
poleons of finance buy up in advance
the shares of their fellow workers in
the rat colony.
