AN IDAHO TAlLOR'S LUCK.
Received Mining Stock Worth S1oo, 600
for o Suit Of Clothes.

Portland. Ore. Feb. 2S-A well
known business man. Just back from a
trip to Idaho. vouches for the truth OF
this story of phenomenslly good luck:
About two weeks ago a miner offered
Morris Yenzel. Moscow Qdaho) tail
or, a handful of mining stocks for u
suit of clothes. Yenzel refused that
sort of currency In payment for his
labor and goods. on the ground that he
had no luck in stocks. He remarked
that five years ago a miner gave him
5000 shares of stock then supposed to
be worth one cent a share for a suit of
clothes, but he never realized anything
on the stock.
The miner said that II 1t had been
Leroi stock 1t would have made him
rich. The tailor was startled, and re
piled he was quite certain that that
was the name of the stock. He could
not remember what he did with It, as
he never expected it to amount to any
thing.
A few days later Yenzel went to the
suspended Moscow National bank for
an insurance policy and some other
papers deposited there, among which
he found the missing 5000 shares OF
Leroi stock, now quoted at IS a share,
with accrued dividends. The Leroi
mine owners have been negotiating
with an English syndicate for the sale
Of the property, but the latter declined
to accept the mine without the trans
fer of every share of stock so far Is
sued. This lot of 5000 shares was long
advertised for, but now there will be
no obstacle to the sale of the property
II the owners come to Yenzel's terms.
He demands $40 share, or sl00, 900 for
the whole. and will probably get it.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
General Deficiency Appropriation Bill
Passes the Lower Body.

Washington, Feb. 23 - The house
yesterday passed the general deficiency
appropriation bill and began the con-
sideration of the last of the money
bills that provide for the naval estab-
lishment. A long debate occurred over
the propriety of the appropriation of
s1.S10,0O0 for the Southern Pacific rail-
road under the judgment of~the court
of claims, but the house. by vote of
102 to 1888, refused to strike it out. The
members who favored the appropria-
tion for the repayment to members Of
the last congress of salary withheld
from them on account of absence car
ried their fight into the house, but they
were beaten by vote of 96 to 1872 Six
teen of the 4S pages of the naval bill
were completed. The ATTEMPT Of Mr..
Grosvenor to secure an amendment to
retain session employees on the roll af-
ter March until March Is, when the
extra session would begin. drew from
him, when pressed as to whether he
was authorized" to officially proclaim
an extra session. the good natured ad-
mission that he was authorized to as
sumo" there would be an extra session.
The senate spent Its first hour in lis
tening to Washington's farewell ad-
dress, read by Mr.. Daniel. and then
turned its attention to the Indian ap-
preparation bill. 1t involved contest
over sectarian Indian schools. The
clause directing temporary contracts
with schools. when no government
schools were available, was agreed to
81 to s. A provision was added de-
claring 1t to be the settled policy of
the government hereafter to make no
appropriations whatever for the sup
port Of sectarian schools. President
Cleveland's vetoes of private pension
bills brought out sharp criticism from
Mr. Gallinger against the presidents
course. Mr. Morgan brought out In the
course of inquiries that all these bills
would involve less expense than the
amount which went to the syndicate
taking the bond issues.
