The Seuate bill approving the action taken by see. peneet aay. of Warunder the act approved July ‘ne Senate bill declaring the true intent. and meaning or the Union Pacific Ratiroad acts ap- proved July 1, 1862; July 2, 1864, and July 3, 1866, ‘Was read; but objection was made to its present consideration on the ground that it caused debate, and should not be considered in the morning hour. Mr. WRIGHT gave notice that as the bill was of an important nature be would move to take it up. THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL, The morning hour having expired, Mr. FRELING- HUYSEN, (rep.) of N. J., moved that the Senate raceed to the consideration of Senate bill No. 1, noah as the Supplementary Civil Rights bill, e Age amendments made by the Judiciary Commit- tee were concurred in and the bill was reported to the Senate. Mr, FRELINGHUYSEN explained the provisions of the bill, and said he invoked for it the calm, partial, unpartisan consideration of the Senate. He asked its passage only, as it should commend it- self a8 consistent with the constitution and with justice to all classes of society. He would be glad if the author of the measure (Mr. Sumner) were here to put the cope stone upon the structure he was instrumental in erecting. The vill was intended to secure equal rights to the white people as well as to the colored . It did not touch the polnt of social equality, as that was not an eiement of citizensmp. Tne white race is the dominant race im this country and will always rule it. The strength of the strong should enure to the benefit of the weak; the weaith of the rich to help the pour. The colored people now produce every year about $100,000,000 worth of cotton. They hi jone much to develop the resources of the country, and should be vested with all rights. Might it not be the design of Providence that these people Should become educated in the prin- ciples of republican government here, and then themseives sow the seeds of free government and pure religion in the ‘Wilds of Airica? The trustee of @ public school who would deny admission to the school of any child because he was 8 German who had been nat- uralized would violate his duty, and Congress nad ‘8 perfect right to make it @ criminal offence to ex- clade any child for sucha cause. The same law to protect the German shvuld protect: the Alrican as well a3 citizens. He quo ut some some length trom the decisions of the Supreme Court In regard to the late amendments to the constitution of the United States, and argued that Congress had full power, under the constitution, to pass the bill and make any violation of its pro- visions @ penal offence. Mr, THURMAN, (dem.) of Ohio, moved to strike out the second section of the pill. This section Se ‘a fine of $500 for any violation of the act, to be paid to the person aggrieved, and provides, further, that the party violating the act shall be deemed guilty of & misdemeanor, and, upon con- viction, be tined not less than $600 nor more than $10,000, or shali be imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than one year. He argued tnat the ponigemene provided was monstrous, and that, ‘ides, the section provided for a double punish. ment, Mr. CONKLING, (rep.) of N. Y., said if the Sena- tor thought the punishment too large he could offer an amendment reducing it. Tae punishment ‘Was lor wrong!ng @ man on account of prejudice, &@ prejudice which had been pretty effectualiy trampled gut in biood upon this Continent torever. There could be no excuse pleaded on account of anger, insolence, drunkenness or any otner cause which oftentimes induce men to the perpetration ot wrong, INDIAN DEPREDATIONS, ‘The Cuarr laid beiore the Senate the report of the Secretary of War upon the petition of the Legislature of Montana Territory, transmitted to hit by order of the Senate, asking protection for the citizens of Deer Lodge and Missoula counties against Aepredations by roving banus of Indians, Laid on the table, On motion of Mr. BOREMAN the fenate, at ten minutes past three P. M., proceeded wo the consid- eration of executive business, and at five o'clock the doors were reopened acd whe Senate adjourned, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, April 29, 1874, Mr. Kasson, (rep.) of lowa, introduced a bill to amend the act for the redemption of the three per cent temporary loan certiticates and for an in- crease of national bank notes, Referred to the Committee on Banking. Mr. Eames, (rep.) of R. 1, introduced a bill to amend the national currency acts and to establish tree banking. Relerred to the Banking Comiittee, RIGHTS OF CITIZENBHIP, ‘The House then took up the bill to carry into execution the provisions of the fourteenth amend- ment to the constitution, and to define certain Tights of United States citizens in foreign coun- tries, and was addressed by Mr. Hate, (rep.), of X. Y., in Opposition to the bill, The bill met with his unquahiied condemnation. He was satisfied that im almost its entire scope it was an undesirable measure, He looked upon it as not consistent with the obligations which the government owes to its own citizens or with the principles of international law. It departed unwiseiy troy the provisions of American statutes in some respects, and it un- wisely changed in other respects the principles of international jaw. In the latter regard its effects would be prejudicial to the dignity ana character of the United States and to the rights and salety of their citizens in other lands. He did not pelieve it to be desirable that the great body of principles called international law should be codified and reduced to the infaxibiiity of statute ‘ | Union was held last night at Masonic Hall, | ceeded signally in the defeat of one bill and had all NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1874.——QUADRUPLE SHEET. law. He preferred that it should remain as tne common law of Engiand—s flexible body of prin, Giples, applicable to all circumstances. 1! Con- grese attempted to modily the international law Dy statute it would bind the hands of the Ameri can government and bar the door to the appeal of its citizens; and Congress could not change the_ Yules prevailing among the nations of the earth, tha so this bill, instead of eftecting a de- sirable change, would fo @ certain extent reduce the American ernment to a rank below its just position, and deprive it of the right of assertion against fore! nations, He did not believe any such diminution of the power of the American overnment was desirable. This bill would put he United States in the attitude of disclaiming, Tejecting, throwing aside that very “pearl beyond price,’ the right to assert everywhere and against everybody, the rights of its citizen, be he ever so humble or even ever so unworthy, Coming down to the details of the measure, he criticised the provision in regard to for- eign born women marrying American citizens abroad, and asserted it to be the invariable ruie of international law that the married woman adopts the nationality of her husband wherever he dwells | and irrespective of residence, domicile or other consideration, ‘This statute, however, cuts her off | from her right of protection and her right oj citi- | gzenship, and thereiore she stood indeed a woman without a country, an outiaw, outside the protec- | tion of any nation. So, too, with regard to the | children o/ American citizens born abroad while their parents were residing abroad. This bill put up a bar against such children, avd that was a de. parture om the provisions of existing statute: As to the citizens declared in the bill not to be sub- jpet to the jurisdiction of the United States, | he had no objection to the first category, ; namely, those who become naturalized as citi- zens or subjects of another State; but he ob- jected to that provision as to the next category, namely, those who enter ito’ the civil, naval or military Service of any 1oreign prince or State, or any oorony, district or people foreign to the United States. Tnis would exclude from citizenship Americans Dow in the service of the Khédive of Egypt, or would have excluded Mr. Burlingame, who took service under the Chinese government, and it would be necessary for such persons to become renaturalized on their recurn, ‘The next exception was open tostill graver objections—that was United States citizens domiciled abroad, unless register He was astonished at such a proposi- | tion, Such was not the doctrine o1 the European States, He had no objection to the next category, namely, naturalized citizens, who may by the terms of any treaty be regarded as having resumed their origiual nationality. The next category he unaerstood the committee to consent to be struck out, and therefore he would not discnss it. Thav | was, naturalized citizens, who, on returning to | their native country may convicted of offences | against the laws ol that country, commiited | rior to their arrival im the United States; ut he characterized a8 monstrous the last exception in the bill, namely, naturalized cit- izens becoming domiciled in the uae, ol their Dativity uniess when otherwise regulated by treaty. ‘That would cast upon them the burden o: proof that they did not intend to remain permanenuy under such a provision. Louls Agassiz, if be | had returned to Switzerland and been domi- | ciled there a few weeks, Wwoula have lost | his american citizenship unless he gave | proof that it was not his purpose | to remain. It made a distinction between tne right of native born and naturalized citizens, and no such distinction could be made without disgrace to the United States. He believed it not desirable for the House to undertake \o periect the bill, He believed it to be a bill fraught with danger to the American nauon, througa its citi- | Zens; lor what endangered the meanest citizen endangered the character of the nation. He there- | tore yave notice thut at the proper time he would move to lay it on the table. ‘The bill then went over until to-morrow. Mr. CONGER, Of Michican, from the Committee on Commerce, reported a bill for the relief ol the | owners of the steam ferrypont A. Burton, at | Nauvoo, Ii, permitting the inspectors to license it, although its boiler may not be stamped to show the textile strength o! the iron, Passed, THE INDIAN APPROPLATIONS, The House then, at two o’clock, went into Com- mittee of the Whole, Mr. Poland (rep.). of Vt., in | the chatr, on the Indian Appropriation bill, and Mr. Loughridge (rep.), of lowa, who had charge of the bill, proceeded to give a resumé of its provisions, His speech was muinly directed to the history of Indtan wars, in order to prove that they were general pro- voked by the troops, and consequently that it | would be bad policy to place the Indiaus under the Coutrol o1 tue War Department, ‘The estimate | of the cost ‘of Indian wars during the last torty } years was an aggregate of over $500,000,000, and | he oad no doubt of the correctness of that esti- mate. With such @ record before the country it was dificult for him to see on wnat ground “the policy of turning the Indians over to the War Depart- Ment could be sustained, The true policy was to civilize the Indians and to get rid of the necessity for troops to keep them in order, Mr. PARKER, (rep.) of Mo,, followed with a speech in the same Capi: direction. At the conclusion of his remarks the committee rose, Mr. SawYER, (rep.) of Wis,, from the Committee | on Commerce, reported the Itiver and Harbor Ap- | | peat bill, “Referred to the Committee of the ole. ‘The House then, at five’o’clock, adjourned.

The New Yor« Heraty of Sunday, March 29, is printed on twenty pages, containing 120 columns, 74 of which are advertisements. There are over 2,800 advertisements in that issue of the HERALD, Some of these advertisers are merchants who do an immense business, but they want more cus- tomers, and hence this resort to the columas of the Heratp, A. T. Stewart does a business of $40,000,000 a year, and yet he is one among the largest advertisers in New York. Out this way when @ merchant secures a pretty heavy run of custom, he concludes he can do without adver- tising, but A. T. Stewart never does; he still wants more customers, and he advertises jor them, He believes with Barnum, that there is nothing like printers’ ink in building up a business, and sus- taining it after it has been bulltup.

Count De Jernemay. The recent death of this nobleman at Paris re- calls to mind the first French Revolution. In 1798 the Cuunt was about sixteen years old.

Interview Between Mr. Stanley and Dr. Living- stone’s Body Servant—How the Old Ex- plorer Lay Down and Died. Sournampron, April 15, 1874. Among the passengers grouped around the gang- way of the Malwa upon her arrival here to-day was Mr. Thomas Livingstone, eldest son of the Doctor, and close by him stood a negro lad, apparently about eignteen years of age, dressed in a blue serge suit, with a fleld glass swung across his shoulder. ‘This was Jacob Wainwright, Livingstone’s raithful boay servant, who had attended bim in his last mo- ments. He watched each arrival on board with eager gaze, and his eyes sparkled with joy as he recognized his old tutor, the Rev. Mr. Price, who had taught him, after his liberation trom slavery, | to read and write English in Bombay. } MR, STANLEY AND JACOB WalNWRIGHT. A group consisting of Mr, Waller, Mr. Webb, Mr. Young and Mr. H. M. Stanley was speedily formed round the boy, and, alter each of the first namea nad addressed ium, Mr, Stanley suddenly turned to Jacob and asked if he remembered him: No sooner had the boy’s bright eyes lit on Mr. Stan- Jey’s face than a broad smile played over his stolid Jeatures and he stretched out his hand and said he | perfectly remembered him; and then commenced @ conversation which was listenea to with imtense interest by ali present, and whieh must have the effect of silencing for- ever those persons, if any such remain, who affect disbelief in Mr. Svanley’s story. Mr. Stanley be- gan to question Jacob as to the last hours of the Doctor and upon the events which characterized the march of the Relief Expedition which Mr. Stanley sent to Dr. Livingstone after his return trom Unyanyembe to Zanzivar. JACOB'S STORY TO MR. STANLEY—LIVINGSTONE’S LATTER DAYS. Jacob said that the Doctor expressed great joy When, after waiting so many weary months at Unyanyembe, he saw the caravan of freemen which he had been anxiously waiting for betore the resumption of his exploration. after giving him a few days’ rest at Unyanyembe, Livingstoue’s party travelled southwest to Kasagera, Kiganda to Kasera, & district ruled by King Simba, While at this place the Doctor had @ relapse of hts old enemy, chronic dysentery, which so weakened him as to compel him to take to riding a donkey. Mr. Stanley here said, when he heard thts, “He Ought to have returned then.” But the. Doctor did not seem to think that this attack was very | dangerous, and accordingly resumed his march | in a southwesterly direcuon to Mpatnwa, thence into the Valley of Rungwa, wuere he found many boiling springs; then passed through Ufipa, and then Uemba, thence to Margunga. Mr, Stanley here asked Jacob Wain- wright ‘Which way the rivers ran?’ Jacob said that they all ran to the right, which means to the west, into the Teanganitna, Along Moungo they reached a district calied Kawendi, where a lion killea the only remaining donkey, the other having aied in some of the oozy marshes of Uremba. Thenceforward Livingstone, continually growing weaker, was compeiled to be carried in a ham- mock, but still urged on his way until he came to the headwaters which empty themselves into Lake Bangweolo. Here, as he came to the lake, he | made use of Mr. Stanley’s boat, which he had car- ried with him a distance of 1,100 miles, He crossed over the Chambezi to vhe southern bank aud at- | tempted to push his way along the southern shore of Lake Bangu and towards tne Fountains of Herodotus, reported to be at Katanga, where he thought he would be able to recruit his | health, but perceiving himself to be growing weaker ne determined to push back to Unyan- yembe, towards home, and full of that intention he turned his face northward. But on arriving at a place called Kitumbo he seemed to have become suddenly conscious that his last hour had come, and he tried to settle there, but the chief would not permit him, and he accordingly proceeded fur- ther north towards Kibende. On his arrival at @ | small village in the district of Muilala he was placed in his'tent; bit ‘thinking the sun was too hot jor die in. His last entry in his diary was made on the 27th of April, 1873, thirteen months and thirteen days after Mr. Stanley had left him, wherein he describes how ill he feels and his inability to pro- ceed turther. After this entry Livingstone seems | to have been too weak to have written more— | seems to have resolutely prepared himself for death, LIVINGSTONE’S LONGING FOR HOME. The boy Majwara, expressly commended to | Livingstone a8 @ personal attendant whose fidelity | would be undoubted, declares, that, during the in- | tervals of expressing his suffering vy moans and sighs, prayers for his family were heard and | the word “home” was also frequently mentioned, Livingstone refused to have any other man come into the hut to him, but eacn morning they all came, according to custom, to greet him witn the words “Yambo bana,” or ‘Good morning, master,” one after another. THE END. The bov Majwara made some tea for him and H offered him stimulants, which, however, seem to have had no effect on him. At midnight of the | fourth day of bis iliness Livingstone passed away | quietly to the land of spirits.

The HERALD’s increasing size this spring seems to have attracted the admiration of the country Dress, The editor of the Jefferson (Texas) Evening Mail thus gives vent to ms enthusiasm over a model newspaper :— “Good gracious! has the New York daily HERALD been turned into a daily magazine? was the exclamation of a New York friend who atepped into our sanctum this morning to while away a few moments in reading the news of the world as found only in the HERALD. ‘Why, here is the HERALD of March 29, @ quintuple sheet, if you know what quintuple ts.’ We looked at the HERALD and were ay much surprised at its large Proportions a8 our iriend was, Truly, the HERALD of Sunday, March 29, was a whopper, containing 120 columns of new matter, seventy-six columns of new advertisements, ali inserted for one time only, presenting @ picture of life, its wants and cares as has never been presented to vhe people of the United States or to the world, save in the HERALD. Its advertising columos is an index, uct alone of its prosperity, but of the prosperity and revival of | trade m the business marts of the Nerth. Besides its seventy-six columns in its issue of March 29, it bas forty-lour columns of reading matter, mainly teiegravhic correspondence from ita avie and talented corps of correspondents, who are every- where, and its regular shippicg news and ordinary press telegraphic despatches, “People may rail at the HERALD, but we would ask those railers to name @ journal, whetwer pub- lisnea in Europe or America, that is more sought after, more’ read, better conducted, more liberal to all parties and all sections, that represents the people of this country, than the New Yor HERALD ?” ASF Se It 18 now announced on what seems to be pretty good authority that an effort will be made this summer by @ lew of the regimental commanders of the First division to secure a suMcient number of men from several regiments to justily a brigade encampment. Just here it may be remarked that there je not by any Means that good fellowship among the various regiments of the First division that ought to ex- ist in order to make the division that happy mili- tary family which some of our brigadiers so love to prate about, Each regiment ts, or the most part, too much given to consulting its own indl- vidual interests, independent of tne eflect its particular whims and fancies may have upon the general discipiine of the division. What is wanted is a feeling on the part of each regiment that it is not of itsell everything iu the militia, but that it is only an integral portion of a whole, and that upon tue good will and hard work of each depends the success of ail. Strange as it may seem, there never hus been to-any great extent between the regiments an interchange 0! those usual little courtesies so common in army circles. It has ofteu happened that officers and men of one regiment have seemea to consider them- selves 01 a higner order of beings than the officers and men of other regiments. Class distinctions too, questions of social standing and worldly well being have often stood in the way of @ general feeling of brotherhood in the diviston, It is not to be doubted that a division evcampment or a brigade encampment would be ol immense! benefit in getting the various regi- ments better acquainted with each other. If the thing can be done it ought to be done, and it is said @ strong desire exists at headquar- ters in Albany that such an encampment | shonid be heid..

The Bostonians when rea few i. age did not feel very comfortable, and much a feeling was engendered by reason of the | | accusations they made agaluat New Yorkers of not giving them a fair show. Competition drills are, under the best of circumstances, not well calculated to do good in a military sense. They only create a feeling of strite followed by guarreis and bitterness not conducive to discipline, and which bring the miit- tia service into contempt in the eyes of the general public.

A TELL-TALE TOOL The Broken Piece of a “Jimmy” Be- trays the Burglar—The Bridgeport Attempted Savings Bank Robbery. ~ BRipGErort, April 20, 1874, The man arrested here yesterday, on suspicion | of being connected with the Collinsville robbery, had upon his person an tron “jimmy” or bar, | such as is used by burglars in their opera. | tions. This tool is of very handsome workmanship, made in sections which screw together, and can thus be taken apart | and carried in @ pocket or in @ very small bag. While the burglars left a bag of common | tools at the depot in Collinsville, it is noticeable | that this article was brought away with them, tt | being one of great value to the professional cracks- men and dificult to replace, When the man in | question was pursued by Officer Arnold yesterday he threw away several pieces of this “jimmy,” and the first plece, which was immealately picked up and handed to the police, proved to be the flat tened end of the tool, irom which a triangular piece had recently been broken. Word was sent to | Collinsville to look sharply after the missing ptece of the ‘Simmy,” and on searching the floor of the savings Bank under the sale which the | burglars had failed to open was found a small trie | augular piece of iron or steei freshly broken. This ‘Was brought to Bridgeport, and it proves to be the missing corner of the “jimmy” found on the ar- rested man, No more complete piece of circum- stantial evidence could be desired, and the tell-tale jimmy will send this man vo State Prison, if he does Hot give the officers tne slip, Since the ; Brooklyn regiments to their practice at Creedmoor | while, the time being taken up vision over the rifle practice of the National Guard, All the other inspectors are to report to him.

No New Appropriation—The Present State of the Work and What Bemains To Be Done—gur- face Blasting and Rock Drilling—What Genera! Newton Says About It. In each succeeding year since the national government practically commenced the removal, of the formidable rocky reeia which bar the northern approach to our nobie harbor at Hell Gate the work has been hampered by insufficiency of funds at the disposal of the oficer in charge for the proper, emcient and economical prosecution, of the work. Year alter year appropriations have been made; the drilling and blasting: have progressed with commendable energy, and then recurs the refrain, “No more momey.’% Then come the discharging of the Meng the usual appeaiing to Congress, and another ap- propriation is made no more capable of complet+ ng the great and necessary work than the on@ made before it. And so this tinkering goes ol year after year, little of practical value is done) and the great city remains without an improve=. ment which should have been completed years ago and which there is no excuse for abandoning a® present, And yet the works remain deserted, they expense of beginning again will be considerabies as the machinery, drills, &c., are rusting and ting in their present positions, and Af plenty time is given they will be almost useless when thet work goes on once more. THE MANY EXPERIMENTS TRIED, For many years various experiments have beem tried as to the best means of removing the obnox- fous rocks in the channel of Hell Gate, and the essays ofa French professor were not the least useful of these. Yet the works which have beem put by the government since 1868 under the supervision of General John Newton, of the United State Engineers, are probabiy ‘he only ones which could ever result in any satisfactory degree of success. The plan is @ practical one, of sinking @ shaft from which tunnels diverge under the bed of the river, and under the very rockm@ whieh are so dangerous at present and which, to some extent, cause that current which the Diedrich Knickerbocker fearfully describes in hi “History of New York,” and which so scared the original Dutchman who went on a voyage of dis- covery up the Sound, - It is almost unnecessary here to go over the fac® of the importance of this great work to the pros= perity of the city. It is generally believed, in ly that its completion will be the signal of a revel tion in the business of the island, instead of, being covered by dwellings, the upper end of the island will become the entrepot of commerce, and> the river shores will be crowded with the ware- houses and storehouses which are now confined to the lower portion of the city and Brooklyn, It 1s probable that the trade with Europe will be. done through Hell Gate instead of by way of Sandy Hook, and all the more go because the rail~ roads will bring the products of the West directs, to the wharves of the European steamships. Ind the value of the Hell Gate improvement is too evi~ dent to need any argument to prove its usefulness, Tt 18 @ paramount necessity here; and yet, in spite of this generally recognized fact, each year sees & delay which is as Roane to os being of the city as it is wasteful of the public money. General John Newton, in his works at Hell Gate, has employed two methods for removing the rockt whicd crowd the channel—that of tunnelling undet the bed of the river and that of drilling the recks trom abeve and using the method known assur- face blasting. Both works were rapidly a: with last year, and good progress was made under both | ened During the year the works at Hal lett’s Point were confined to the driving forward of the tunnels and galleries at that work. Up to June, 1873, the following LENGTH OF THE VARIOUS TUNNELS and galleries had been accomplished :— Feet. 3; - Beat See! *ebnbeate ‘august 3, in driving forward the tunnels and galleries was 2,781 linear teet. During this period the quantity of rock removed was as follows :— By hammer arillin “8 n 4 1c two.

By Burleigh drilit BY diamond drilliog hitherto been conducted; The operations have with a view to explore the whole area to be re- moved. This part of the work is stated by General Newton to Lae for its completion the additional: driving of about 1,000 linear feet of tunnels. General Newton also states that ‘the cost of the operauons has been much increased by opm eroe pelied to work under appropriations not suficiens jor rapid or economical pi ais THR SURFACE DRILLING. The operations of this kind nad been wholly upon Diamond Reef until July 12, 1872, when the scow Was moored u} the Frying-pan Kock. It tt blasts ‘On the 3d of pind eleven surface On the the scow was moved of the reef, On August 5 the scow was moored over Pot Rock, where it remained until running ice drove. the scow into winter quarters on December 23, Forty holes were drilled and blasted, and sixty seam blasts and twenty-four surface blasts were made. The surface of the rock was found covered with a large quantity of the débris o: small stone, which was tirst removed by means oi rakes, in: order to be able to drill. Tne quantity removed is- estimated at 211 cubic yards, General Newton speaks o! the diMculty of moor- ing the scow, so that it would not drag. But this could be and was overcome. The real source: of delays. damage and danger to those employ was from collisions, of which six- teen were encountered while the scow was on. Pot Rock. The danger was very great at times and impossible to guard against, as the current was so strong that Vessels would be borne down upon the scow before any means could be devised to get out of the way. The delays’ arose from’ breakage of the cable chains connected with the anchors and the period of time juired to search, | for and find the ends of the chains before the acow' could be moored again, “It is solely due,” sa; General Newton. © “to these accidents whole of Pot Rock was not removed last fall.” And now all this great and most necessary work is at a standstill because of the parsimony of a Congress which seems not to appreciate the value of the improvement at Hell Gate. it is a national work, however, and not merely for the benefit of one section. To be sare, the value of the real’ estate of New York would be by ite com- pletion, but at the same time the reduction of expense in the transmission Of freights from the West, by avoiding loading and unloading several times, as also by the shortening of the passage not only to Europe, but coastwise, would be a most essential benefit to the country at large. THR WORK STOPPED. The work at Hallett’s Point December 20, 1873, and 125 men were thrown suddenly out of employment, This was in consequence of the want. of money, the appropriation having become ex- hausted. A bill has been introduced into Congress, we believe. It has been romored that the bmg 2 on Appropriations m the House. ot resentatives intend to fr in favor of allowing a further bg gop; of $225,000 towards carrying on the work, er jacks confirmation.

Shoud Congress adjourn without doing anything the work Will go backward as fast as be- fore tt went iorward. Too mucn has evidently been done to abandon the work at this moment.
