RarnacIes on Ocean Gables.

The recent Investigations for cable lay
ing in the Pacific ocean have revealed
the interesting fact, that if not upon
rock bottom, they gradually become en-
crusted with barnacles and seaweeds,
heavy enough to break them. This is like
dyspepsia, which, if it is not checked,
grows until it breaks down the health.

 THE ARMY BILL After Days of Stormy Debate the Appropriation is Made. FORM SLIGHTLY MODIFIED Spirited Fight Over Giving War De- pertinent Power as to Purchase of Ammunition-Leads to Too
 Much Extravaganza
FORM SLIGHTLY MODIFIED

Washington, March 29.-After four days of stormy debate the house today passed the army appropriation bill. As passed, the bill is only slightly modified from the
 form in which 1t came from the committee.
 One of the last amendments adopted opens
 the soldiers home to the officers and men of the volunteer and regular armies inca

 Spanish war.

 Ponto Rico, Cuba and Alaska should re- ceive additional compensation. The para

 been pertinent had been passed and MT.
 Hull, in charge of the bill, refused to re
 turn to it.
 MT. McRae then moved to strike from the
 provision for the manufacture or pur-
