FLINN OUT OF POLITICS.
Friends, However, Believe designations
Are Part of Programme.

HARRISBURG, Pa. March THE
news that Senator Finn of Pittsburg, had
resigned from the State Senate and had
withdrawn from the city and county ex-
ecutive committees was received with
wonder here. The general impression.
however, is that it is a move in the in
terest of political harmony. and that it
may calm thet roubled waters in Pitts
burg.
The impression also exists that the re-
turn OF Recorder ]. o. Brown from Flor
ids is connected with the announcement
of Senator Finn that he is clear out of
politics. 1t is believed that he is seek
ing shelter till the clouds roll by.
The two men whose political futures
will be most affected by Senator Finn S
retirement Governor Stone and Attorney
General Elkin, are out of the city, so
that expressions of their opinion could
not be obtained. Governor Stone is at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. New York,
where he is awaiting the arrival of Miss
Jean Stone. his daughter, on an incoming
steamship from Europe. Attorney Gen.
erai Elkin is at his Indiana home.

The Senate District Committee at Its
meeting yesterday decided TO report d
new bill for the Aqueduct Bridge.
The bill takes the place of the one al
ready introduced. and will provide for
larger and more costly structure, as here
tofore stated in The Times.
The wording of the new measure. which
will be introduced on Monday, is as fol-
lows:
THAT the sum of one hundred thousand
dollars is hereby appropriated. out OF any
money in the Treasury not otherwise ap-
propriated. for the reconstruction OF the
Aaueduct Bridge, District of Columbia at
or near the present line OF crossing OF the
Potomac River. the said amount to be eH-
pended under the direction of the Secre-
tary of War. and one-half OF such sum
10 pe paid out of the revenues of the DIS
trict of Columbia:
provided, That so much Of said sum
as may be necessary. not to exceed S6'OoO'

MYSTERIOUS POSTAL CARDS.
Members of House Each Receive an
Enigmatical Communication.

Every member in the House yesterday
received postal card postmarked Chi
cago that kept them guessing. 1t afforded
more talk than a new puzzle.
Some laughed it off rs a joke. while
others regarded the little piece of paste
board with an air of seriousness. But,
however. it didn', interfere with the
business of the House, for the debate on
the bill to place the rural free delivery
service under the contract system con-
tinued up to the hour of adjournment.
Still no one could offer any solution
for the mysterious postal.
The card, which is devoid of all marks
OF authorship or origin. is fairly covered
with the imprint in red ink of apparently
a small rubber stamp bearing the outline
figure of a mule and another of horse.
A horse was stamped in the upper left
hand corner and in the lower right
hand corner, while twelve imprints of
mules were promiscuously scattered over
the card.
Across the centre, in large, black type,
were these questions:
is the President waiting to hear from
the people?"
'Will the people speak,"
Perhaps the mystery will be explained
in a few days.

HOUSE AS A PUBLISHER.
Orders Many Thousands of Copies of
Various Reports Printed.

Resolutions authorizing the printing OF
$4,000 copies of the report by the Agrl-
cultural Department upon Diseases or
Cattle and 100000 copies of the report
on Diseases of the Horse brought up TO
date, were passed by the House yesterday.
The Committee on Printing recommend
ed the printing of but $4,000 copies of the
horse report, but the House overwhelm-
ingly refused to follow the recommenda-
ton. and retained the 100000 copies pro-
vided for in the original resolution.
Resolutions were also passed providing
for the publication OF 1000 copies of a
gazetteer of the Philippine Islands: to
print the testimony findings, and other
matters relating to the Schley Court of
Enquiry; to print $500 copies of the re-
vision of the laws of Porto Rico; to print
1000 extra copies of the annual report of
the Commissioner of Pensions.
On motion by Mr.. Richardson the Illus
trations of the Pension Building, as dec
GRATED for the inaugural ball. and which
were not referred to in the text of the
report. were omitted
Mr.. Cannon Rep., HID enquired If there
was picture in the report Of the medical
board engaged in its daily work of cast
ing doubt upon the application OF every
claimant for a pension. II so. he was OF
the opinion that ii might be retained.

CONCURS IN SENTIMENT
OF THE OTHER HANNA
Ohio Senator Pays Compli-
ment to Mr.. Lowering.
Massachusetts Representative Expresses
Embarrassment Concerning LaudatoIy
Communication Miscredited to
Senator Hanna.

Some days ago letter from MIR. H. II.
Hanna, of indianapolis, Chairman of the
Monetary Commission, commencing Rep
resentatiye W. C. Lowering of Massa
chusetts for his course in connection
with financial legislation. was circulated
in Mr.. Coverings district. The com
muncaton was credited to Senator Han
ma, causing the Representative some eni-
barrassment
Mr. Lowering enclosed some clippings
in letter to the Senator, saying in ex
PLANTATION:
The enclosed clippings show that
there has been misunderstanding
among some of the papers in Massachu
sets through confounding your name
with that of Mr.. II. II. Hanna.
"it seems that he was kind enough to
voluntarily write a few letters to gen
tlemen in the Twelfth Massachusetts, dis
trict, speaking of me in a friendly and
complimentary manner. That some of
the papers have inadvertently ascribed
one of these letters to you has caused me
no little modification. lest you might
think i was in any way a party to an un-
authorized use of your name.
1T was evidently a mistake on the
part of the papers, which, / believe, was
promptly corrected when found out
To this the Senator promptly replied:
Il have your letter of the Sd instant.
enclosing newspaper clippings. and re-
gret that the mistake referred to has oc-
casloned you any embarrassment. AS
Tor myself l certainly do not feel the
least bit embarrassed over the matter. as
| most heartily concur in the sentiments
expressed by the other Hanna.

additional land that may be required for

And, provided further. That contract
or contracts may be entered into by the
Secretary of War for such materials and
work as may be necessary for the recon
struction of the said bridge, to be paid
for as appropriations may from time to
time be made by law. not to exceed in the
aggregate $4,000. exclusive of the
amounts herein appropriated"
The committee had a long discussion
over the union station bill. and finally
agreed to amendments which will reduce
the grading and street work around the
station and make the cost of the improve
ments materially less to the District.
The question of the exact location of
the tunnel from South Washington to the
station has not been entirely decided.
Some objection was raised to the first

that the Congressional Library building
might be injured by it.
This question will be looked into by
the engineers carefully. 1t is said that
the report of the committee to the SEN
ate will be made on some day next

The committee decided to report fav-
orably bill appropriating s1o.519.2O and
interest for the payment of the claim OF
Elizabeth l.. NJ. Bailey. administrative OF

The history of the case is an interest
ing one. The District was alleged to have
broken a contract with Mr.. Bailey as to
the laying of asphalt pavements. The
District Court found in favor of Mr.. Bal
ley. the Court of Appeals affirmed this
decision.
The District than took the case to the
Supreme Court and the decision of the
lower court was reversed. but On a legal
technicality simply.
The District Commissioners reported
adversely on the bill short time ago.

Discrimination in Apportion--
ment for River and Har-
Dor Improvements
DEMAND SHARE OF THE sP0ILS
Mississippi River States Represented on
Committee Receive Nearly Eighty Per
Cent of the Entire Amount Recon-
mended for Expenditures.

The members of the North Carolina
delegation in the House are anything but
pleased with the manner in which tho
money for the Improvement of rivers and
harbors has been distributed by the Riv-
ers and Harbors Committee.
Because of the alleged discrimination
against the Tar Heel State the membera'
from that State are said to be organizinG
a revolt for the purpose of defeating the
bill when it comes before the House.
Should the delegates from North Caro-
lima fail to overcome the log-roilins meth
DDS which they claim prevail In the
House. it Is proposed to hold up the
measure in the Senate by long speecne8
until those in charge OF the bill coneeas
to North Carolina her share Of the
spoils"
One hree-Hundredth Part.
In Justification OF their proposed
course they point TO the fact that their
State received but $500 600. or one three
hundredth of the total carried by the bill.
notwithstanding she has, except Florida,
the longest sea coast line of any State
hand, Alabama, with no sea coast line to
speak of, received one-thirtieth Of ths
total
This discrimination. the North Caro-
linians assert, is due to the way the
members of the River and Harbor Com
mittee have taken care of the interests
of their own States.
An analysis of the figures given out by
the committee shows that the seventeen
States represented on the committee are
given appropriations aggregating S41, ,o62,-
go In addition to this there is an ap-
preparation of 1885, coo for the Missis-
sippi River. Five of the ten States which
form its banks are represented on the
committee.
Nearly Eighty Per Cent.
AS probably half, IL not more. of the
Mississippi River appropriations will be
expended in those five States. the total
amount the members OF the committee
have divided among their States is ap-
proximately s47.312.330 leaving some-
thing like $4,000 600 for the twenty-seven
States having no representation On the
committee.
OF the seventeen favored States receiv-
ing specific amounts, Michigan has the
largest share-s7. .4SS. $50. Chairman Bur-

COFFEE BOUNTY ASKED.
Memorial From Porto Rico Laid Before
the House.

Speaker Henderson yesterday laid be-
fore the House memorial from the
Porto Rican House of Delegates, praying
for bounty on coffee.
The memorial recites that the coffee
planters of Porto Rico have been cut off
from the markets of Europe by the
change OF sovereignty and the adoption
of the American fiscal policy in the ISL
and.
1t is stated that the only way to pro-
tect the coffee planters is to grant a
bounty. as it would be against the ira
ditional policy of the Government to i'm
pose a duty on food staple.
A bounty of ) cents a pound on coffee
grown in Porto Rico and exported to the
United States or any foreign country is
requested.
