THE FIFTY-SIXTH CONGRESS,
Noted for Immense appropriations and Defeat
OF Important Measures.
Especial Dispatch to The Times

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Fifty-
sixth session of Congress will pass
into history from two notable viewpoints.
At this session of Congress d vast
amount of money was appropriated, but
very few measures of domestic interest
to the country We're passed. The oppro-
priations made during the session of this
Congress have been much larger than any
made in the previous history of the lesis-
lative branch of the United States Gov
eminent. AT this time it is impossible to
indicate the total appropriations made
during the Fifty-sNth session. That they
run high in the millions is a well-known
fact.
Taking the second viewpoint into con-
sheraton many bills OF great interest to
the people of the United States have been
defeated The most notable one from a
Western standpoint, is the Nicaraguan
canal bill. At the beginning of the Fifty
sixth session of Congress it was believed
that g. measure providing an appropria-
ton for the construction of the canal
which will connect the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans would pass both houses
and be approved by President Mckinley
Che reason for the failure of the canal
bill lies in the fact that the so-caleG
Eay-PauncefOte treaty was not adopted
by the United States Senate The fact
that this treaty failed in the upper branch
OF Congress Brought about the opposition
upon the part of the Administration and
its representatives in the Senate.
Senator Morgan. as is well known, has
made energetic efforts to have the bill
become law, but he has failed princi-
paIly because of the action lh9 Senate took
regarding the treaty between the United
States and Great Britain. The Alabama
Senator having sustained repeated fail
ures in attempting to get his pet measure
through Congress, is still of the opinion
that it will be successful during the
Fifty-seventl session. He has SO informed
the correspondent of this paper in a re-
cent interview. or course, Senator Nor
gan is not satisfied with having failed in
his endeavor to secure the passage of
this bill I'D to this time. but he congratu-
lates himself upon the fact that the asi-
tation favorable to the enactment of a
law for the digging of this canal is Ger
tain to result favorahly at the coming
session of Congress. The people of the
West Coast States are. without doubt,
more interested in this measure than the
residents of Minnesota, Pennsylvania.
Utah. Idaho, Virginia and other South
eastern States.
Nevertheless. it is now believed that
some time before the next Congress ad-
journs sine die the Nicaraguan canal
bill will become a law.

Oxen Stolen and S. P. c. A. Heard From.
Other Cases.

A long list OF offenders were before the
August tribunal Of Justice John yeSter-
day, None of the cases heard required
much time, however, and the work went
forward without hindrance or delay.
William Sanford was charged with
stealing a couple of oxen in Petersburg
and selling them on Saturday
for So to a butcher at the First Market
After quite a chase around certain unsa-
vary localities of the city the police
located him. and found he had endcavored
to end his career with laudanum. In
this he was unsuccessful, however, and
after "a brief examination of the case
Sanford was passed along to the Hastings
Court grand jury, which was in session
yesterday.
The Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Animals had two cases before the
court. William Lee tcolored) was charged
with cruelty eathng a horse belonging
to the Richmond Transfer Company, on
Main Street, with the butt end of a
loaded whip. The story told of the
mans treatment OF the animal stirred
Justice John to his profoundest depths,
and he mildly suggested to William that
if further Investigation of the case and
examination Of the condition Of the
horse proved it to be true he would warm
him in q way that would leave the
impression that he had set down on Il
red-hot stove The case went over until
Wednesday. James Tucker (colored),
who was also charged with cruelty treat
ing a horse unfit to work, will have his
say on "Wednesday, too, by which date a
warrant will begotten out for the owner
of the horse. who is charged with equal
responsibility in this instance.
Della Preston (coloredO was charged by
Willie Ann Christian. OF a like hue with
assaulting and striking her. etc. The ire
OF Willie Ann had faded away as COM
pletely as the mist of early morning but
Justice John was in the game tn stay:

FISHERIES OF CANADA,
One of the Most important Industries of the
Dominion.
Especial Dispatch to The Times

-
WASHINGTON, March 4.--The fisheries
industry is one of great Importance in the
Dominion of Canada. The amount of
capital invested in the Industry last year
exceeded that of the previous year by
s2S2,743 and 10 more men were engaged
in the work. No less than 1858 men
We're occupied in 1900 in exploiting the
waters of Canada, using 5,5O6, 100 fathoms

senting Il capital OF $4,000, OoO
The salmOn-preserving industry of Brit
isll Columbia, comprising 90 canneries
and representing capital of S1.3S0,000
gives employment to 1897 hands
The total catch of fish in Canada for
the year 1889, as has been reported
amounted to S21.s9l,7 06 being an increase
of S2,250,000 over the weld of the previous
year. The catch for the Province of
Quebec was worth sl,a53,13 an increase
over the preceding year of si91.694.
The lobster plant alone is estimated to
he worth s1,534,1sO Il comprises SIS can
neries, dispersed on the Sedhnard OF the
maritime provinces.
The sealing fleet last year numbered
81 vessels. an increase of Ii over the pre-
yicuS year and representing an aggre-
gate of 2,6ii tons register The total num-
Der of fur-seal skins taken by Canadian
sealers during the year 1900 was 3d. 23
This result is larger by III skins than that
of 1889, which in its turn largely exceeded
the catches of 1895 and 1897. Although the
catch of 1900 is slightly in excess of that
of 1899, the average catch per vessel would
show falling off if comparison Were
confined to these two specific years.
Manufactured sealskin goods have large
ly advanced in price in the Montreal market
and the profits of retail dealers are
said to be very high. They@can be pur-
chased in the United States quite as
cheaply as in Montreal. for the reason
that retail dealers of the United States
are content with small profits
So far as can be learned there have
been no complaints Of transgressons OF
the law or regulations by the sealers last
year; nor have any complaints arisen
through the application of the law affect
ing the business.

his OWE language, he is not as rapid in
his action and speech as his colleague,
Senator Pettus, who is eighty years old.
The following day Mr.. Morgan continued
his speech, which was an argument
against the adoption of the Cuban and
Philippine amendments. He believed
that such legislation ought not to be
enacted, and he explained the reasons
for his belief. He could talk for a week,

Gathered Here and There About Hote'
Lobbies By Tribune
Scribes.

The cigarette bill passed the house
and is now in the hands of the senate
committee on temperance. There were
two requests for the reference of the bill
and on a vote of the senate it went to the
temperance committee.
The attempt to create a resubmission
issue in the legislature was a mournful
failure. The bill repeating the penalty
clause was killed unanimously by the
senate yesterday. Not a drum washeard
or a funeral note, as it's corse to the
rampant was hurried, or words to hat
effect. The bill and the issue funked-
badly.
There are five more days of the legis-
lature. Each house has a large number
of the bills of the other house on third
reading. The senate has a raft of house
bills in line for action and the roll calls
on final passage next week will be num-
erous in each house. The house thought
of holding a night session last night, but
got through with so much of the business
the idea was abandoned-and the
weather was dirty, too, so much SO that
night trips to the capitol would have
been unpleasant.

THAT INDIAN SCHOOL.
Mandan the Proper Place, Says Col.
Lounsberry in the Record.

Fargo Record: The Record hopes the
bill pending in congress for the construc-
ton of an Indian school at Mandan will
pass. That is a proper place for it On
the site of Mandan one of the very last
Indian battles in North Dakota was
fought, and there the last settler who
fell a victim to the red mans fury died,
viz, Rancher Henry, about 1875. When
the Northern Pacific surveyors crossed
the Missouri river at Bismarck in 1873,
to extend its line west of the river, they
we're attacked by Indians at what is now
Mandan. Boots and saddles sounded at
the fort and in a few minutes there was
a sharp engagement on, and when it was
over seven dead Indians remained on the
field. It was two years later when
Rancher Henry was killed and his
shack plundered. For several years
the Indians have been brought up
from Fort Yates to give an enter
tainment in connection with the
state fair. 1t has been a great enter
tainment from a Buffalo Bill standpoint,
and has attracted many people from the
eastern part of the state, but as a state
fair it has been a complete failure. At
any rate that feature ought lot to be
encouraged, but to establish a school
for the education of the Indian at this
point is the proper thing to do. It is on
the border Of the Indian country, so near
the Indian homes that the children can
be under the eyes Of their parents and at
the same time within the environments
of civilization and within the reach of
the public schools. The Indian children
are in the main bright and intelligent
little fellows, noble hearted little
lads just as capable of receiving
instruction as the average white
child. Educated, they make good,
progressive citizens. The great Mandan
villages, which rendered such excellent
service to Lewis and Clarke, when they
were exploring the Missouri river in 1905,
were located at Mandan. 1t would be a
fitting recognition of the services rem
dered these explorers by the Mandans to
build up a great Indian school at the
place named in honor of the tribe and on
the site of their ancient villages.
