The bill will provide sm appropriation of £200,000 for the improvement of the Potomac flats. The appropriation will be modified by the following proviso, however: “Provided, that no part of said sum shall be expended in the further prosecution of said | work until the suit now pending involving A PLUMP QUESTION.

It is stated that an. impression lant the Kidwell and other like claims wore not well founded, and also a belief that the preeat tions taken fully protect interests, induced Congress to make appropr tions for the improvement of the flats im each river and harbor bill reported for the past six yeara |< the government has already put nearly | $1,000,000 into improvements of the flats, but | the present committee hesitates to spend any more money on @ property that it considers may possibly fall out of possession of the gov- ernment. At the office of the United States district at torney it is said that the delay in bringing @ case to trial has arisen from two causes—the mimense amount of evidence which must be requiring researches in the early an- nals of the government, and the present over- crowded condition of the Supreme Court docket. The collection of evidence has been nearly completed, and it is hoped to bring the cure to trial before July next. “At any rate,” continued Mr. Edmunds, “the case, acy ‘ding to my latest information, 1 still pending and tndceided: but it is fair and just to say to the people of Washington and. to the committee and tho Senate, after a most careful investigation made py a committee of the Senate from beginning to end and devoted to that one question, 1 believe we were unanimously of | the opinion that the pretentions of these land claimants were entirely unfounded. But the fact that that was our opinion does not prove that it will be the opinion of the court, That is another thing. We were careful in the beginning, two or three or four years ago, to provide that none of this money should be spent in respect to that part of the river where this disputed tract lies, except merely for deepening uaviga- tion, not for doing any good to the value of the Jand, and iy we have had any similar provision of that kind or limitation before I suggest to my friend that it would be well to bave it in again. dir. Edmunds in the course of the discussion referred to a bill passed by Congress which made provision for protecting the govern- ment’s interest. r. Ransom later referred to this bill and said: “Ihe bill, after .providing that a suit should be brought to settle this question against all parcies claiming adversely to th United States,and after providing fully to hav all these titles settled, and settled promptly contained this important provision: That if any of these parties had any clkim whatever which could be established 1m court, the sane court which determined their claim should settle the mount of damages to which they were entitled, and these dataages were to be estimated as of the time when thisimprovementcommenced,and not afterward. So, then, whatever may happen, whatever may come to pass, the United States would only have to pay what would be assessed | as damages for real estate that every! was absolutely worthless before this improve- ment wos made. It ix not improper, further- more, for me to say to the Senator from Texas (ir. Reagan), expecially a8 he desired infor- mation upon thi ubject, that it has been the opinion of the judi- ciary committce, it has been the opinion of the Department of Justice, it has been the opinion of the cowmissioner of public lands and it has been the opinion and judgment of every legul mind that has looked into this question that these adverse pretentions to the rights of the United States were absolutely without founda- tion,” DISCUSSED IN THE FIPTY-FIRST CONGRESS. The records of debates in Congress show that appropriations have been made, apparently with a full understanding of the state of the controversy before the courts, and that it has been understood that provision has been made to protect the government's interests in case of a possible establishment of a claim for the re- claimed tands. When the river and harbor bill was under discussion in the Senate in August, 1890, the questions now raised were discussed and the information on which Congress had acted was set forth quite clearly. Mr. Vest then inquired what the status of the con- troversy over title was, Mr. Edmunds re- plicd that he was under the impression that the state of the legal controversy was just what it had been the year before and the year before that—that is to say, it was making pro- gress or was in a state of delay or repose in the Supreme Court of the District or in the Su- preme Court of the United States. ———_—-e-— NO MINORS IN POOL kooMs. The Prohibitory Order Issued by the Com- missdonecs Today. ‘The Commissioners today ordered: “It shall not be lawfa! for the proprietors of billiard tables, pool tablos, bagatelle tables, Jenny Lind tables or other like tables, shuitie boards and bowling alleys kept for pub- lic hire and gain in the District of Columbia to allow any person under the age of twenty-one years to play at any game of billiards, pool, shuffle board, or any game that may be played on such tables or boards, or play at bowls on said alleys, or per- mit such persons to come into or remain in their saloons, poo! rooms or bowling alleys.

Cuicaso, March 21.—The investigation into “boodicism” by the grand jury is not to be con- fined to the three ordinances which have been so frequently mentioned in that connection. States Attorney Longenecker said last mght that the jury was tollowing up any lead that | might result in the conviction of # money giver or money taker. Among other ordinances the passage of which will be inquired into will be the lately passed omnibus ordinance giving the Chicago Railway Company the right to string over- «1 wires and run electric cars on most of the s not already occupied. be grand j will also make a determined effort to sift the relations between the gas trust and the city author wrticularly the | circumstances attend: serlement made the | with the officers of the trust last June, by n | Which the race of 1.200 thousand was ac- cepted. It ix stated that the jury has informa- tion showing that certain aldermen maintain business rejutions with the trust and are constantly active on belulf of the big syndicate. The state's attorney also suys that the im- Vestigation of the big four-mile tumpel (built out Under the lake for the purpose of increas- ing the city’s water supply) will be reopened. He states that evidence has been in his bands: showing years @f municipal jugglery. Keasons wili be given showing just why the allermanic committee recently appointed to extigate the construction of this tunnel failed to prove evidence of fraud and wrong doing. President Billings of the gas trust, who is at Hot Springs, says, in an interview, that there is nothing in the story thet the “bood- ling“ aldermen offered to kill the economic ges ordinance for 5150.00. He states that when the ordinance was pending one or two alder- men asked ham what he nied done with it, Dut his reply was that be did not care whether was passed OF not. EATEN bY ANTS, The Horrible Death to Which Mexican Bam dite Condemned a Prisoner. , Aur, March 21.—The Indians have always been knowu for theirde-ilish ways of torture, but it has remained for a band of Mexican bandits to cap the climax. “Dutch Henry's” bend of horse thieves raided Henry Withers’ ranch on the Garrite river recently, driving away all his stock. Withers startedafter the band single handed and succeeded in shooting down three of them row ambush before they discovered that only one man was pursuing them. They succeeded in capturing him as he was trying to get away. Death was iis sentence, but shooting was too easy a death. Withers ‘was taken out on the hot sand beds and left to like naked for x hours, fully exposed to the sun's raya ‘This was not enough, and he was then still nude, to a bed of cactus bushes, where be was laid on the sharp pomts, He was bound tightly tow stake, and then a large ant hill which was near was torn open with sticks and he was left to his fate. ‘The insects swarmed cut and over Withers’ body, and within two hours he was dead from their bites. The ants did not leave hum alone. Lowever, until every particle of flesh was eaten from his bones, A prisoner of the band was taken where be could witness the whole affair and was after- ward turued loose and told to tell the tint that would be the future punishment of ald who tried to kill a member of the band. > A Rall ‘The Pennsylvania Company Trying to Captere the “Seashore” Line.
