Little in- terest seemed to be manifested in the proceedings, less than one-half of the members being present during the ses- sion. The bill was passed by the House, carrying $4,144,912, as against $9,517,141 for last year. At the opening of the session of the House Royce (&.) of Indiana, chairman of the Committee on Elections No. 2, pre- sented a resolution declaring that in the contest between Samuel Hudson and Wil- liam McAleer of Pennsylvania, for a seat Spectal Dispatch to The Call.

A Dbill granting to the Gulf, Colorado | by the act of 1887 and redeem the claims of the first mortgage bondholders upon the eastern and middle divisions, re- spectively, and become suhrogated un- der the law to their rights. This will make the Government the owner of both the first and second liens upon these divisions of the road. An application will be made to Judge Sanborn at St. Louis next Saturday for leave to redeem, for a postponement of the sales of the road, which are now advertised to take place on February 16, 17 and 18, and for the appointment of a receiver in the Government suit to operate the railroad for the benefit of its liens. The present receivers are op- erating the road under the suit of the | third mortgage bondholders, commonly and Santa Fe Railroad Company the right | to construct a branch of its road in the | | Indian Territory was passed. A bill authorizing the Muskogee Coal and Railway Company to construct and operate a railroad through the Indlan Territory and Oklahoma Territory was | also passed. The House then went into committee of numerous shots in the fusillade took |the whole and resumed consideration of | the fortifications appropriation bill. MeClellan (D.) of New York in a speech declared that the bill carried no adequate called the consolidated morigage. By p this means it is expected that the im- mediate sale of the property will be de- ferred, and that the Government will have more opportunity to negotiate for a better price than has been offered by the reorganization committee, which now controls the first mortgages, and in the meantime the benefits of the profitable operation of the road, if it continues to be profitably managed will, under the receiver appointed in the Government suit, be to the advan- tage of the Government by way of re- duction of its claim. Notices of the application to be made next Saturday have been served by tel- egraph on the reorganization commit- tee and upon the counsel of the re- spective underlying mortgages. Am- R T S R TR YT BERLIN, Feb. —The freedom which the "hstag and the Prussian Diet conceded week to the agra- rians, who formulated numerous wishes and complaints, is significant. The Minister of Agriculture, Baron von Hammerstein-Loxten, promised for the Government that he would grant as f their demands as possible. At t he was making this decla- were preparing to ation of American fruit and the decree in that connection had already tecen issued. The entire Liberal pre openly disapproves of the policy and assert it w a Govern- ment trick to obtain the vote of the Agrarians for Emperor William’s na- val bill. The leading commercial Jjournals point to the ill will and indignation such measures are bound to produce in America and to the futility of prohib- iting the importation of an article Ger- many does not produce with suffi- clency. The newspapers claim the only result will be that fruit will be imported from the south of Europe at a higher cost than is now being paid ration m stop the impo sures Dr. Friedrich von Kueger of the Agricultural High School, upon whose report the authorities here are under- stood to have acted, has been making an extensive series of experiments and examinations of the American plants and fruits supposed to be infected by the San Jose bug. After many failures he finally discovered the bug in three specimens of peaches and pears. Dr. Heinrich Dorhru, president of the Entomological Society of _Stettin, writes that the San Jose bug has long been known in Germany as the blut- laus agd has d ated orchards in various parts of the country, especial- 1y in tk neighborhood of Frankfort and § tin. He adds: “The present scare rado bug scare The United Statesembassy is continu- ing its remonstrances as a protest against the unfounded rumors alleging that it is weakening. Several of the Newspapers express the opinion that the decree will not be permanent and that it was only inted- ed as a temporary act of retaliation for American treatment of German sugar. Inquiry made at the Foreign Office and at the Prussian Agricultural Depart- ment, however, shows the steps taken | to be only forerunners of others of more importance, the Government hav- - ing concluded that something must be done to gratify the Agrarian demand for retaliation on the United States. There was an exemplification in the Reichstag on Tuesday when Dr. Hahn, a friend of Prince Bismarck, demanded | the prohibition of American horses, claiming the imports had increased in 1897 to 4,279,000 marks, and that some- | thing must be done “to show those overbearing Americans that an ener- getic German Government exists.” The views of the Prussian Cabinet are gaugeable by a declaration made by the Minister of Agriculture, Baron von Hammerstein-Loxten, in the Diet, who declared that American horses devel oped iInfluenza after importation, add ing: “If the importations inérease we shall certainly be forced to adopt a suitable quarantine in order to pro- tect ourselves.” The total exclusion of all living cat- tle and hogs is also under considera- tion. 5 The sugar producers have petitioned the Imperfal Chancellor demanding that no tariff agreement shall be ac- cepted unless the United States tariff on German sugar is reduced 20 per cent from the present scale and an as- surance given that no other country will be more favorably treated. The Prussian Cabinet has adopted “ Emperor William’s plan to remove the Berlin University, Royal Library and other scientific institutions which are now in the center of the city, to Char- | lottenburg. The buildings vacated will become the residences of royalties, and the Government offices will be central- ized. The plan is bound to .arouse great opposition when published. The present year’s imperial army maneuvers will be between the army corps of the Reichsland and Wurtem- berg, but they will not be as extensive as those of 1897. Probably no more than 50,000 troops will be engaged. What do you know ghout the history of your country?

When the fu- sillade of the officers became too hot | for him, the daring Indian made a dash into the dense underbrush that abounds in the swamp and succeeded in suc- cessfully running the gauntlet. Constable English and Officer Hafley learned a few days previously where the outlaw was camped with four other | Indians, and, together with several cit- izens, arted for the scene.’ Several of the volunteers lost their courage as they approached the outlaw’s supposed abode and turned back. The officer also returned for more help, and when he again reached the vicinity of the camp only four peaceable Indians could be seen there, Dick having doubtless obtained a warning that his where- | abouts was known and fled. Since | that time English, together with Dep- uty Sheriff Hafley, have been hot on | the trail of the desperado and as soon as they caught sight of him they opened fire. Dick is thoroughly at home in the swamps and the hills, knowing every nook and place difficult of access, and hence the officers are at a great dis- advantage in the pursuit. self to be a criminal of the most cold- blooded stripe.

It | ought to be our effort to reduce the ex- penses of the Government in order that they may conform to the receipts. We ought to unite to make this Congress one r‘w‘f the most economical since the Civil ar.” By the introduction of an amendment to reduce the maximum price of ofl- | tempered and annealed steel from 23 to 22 cents per pound McRae of Arkansas secured the floor and made a sharp at- | tack upon the administration.

Since that he has made himself the terror of the foothill region, which | is sparsely settled. He has been a terror to the women, and no dweller of that vicinity dares to leave his wife or daughter alone. Dick is relentlessly hunted by two negroes and two In- | dians, whose wives he wronged. They declare that they will shoot him on sight. Dick intimidates most of the Indians, making them shield him and supply him with food. DEFECTS NOT | DUETO SOIL Experts Report on the Dry- dock at the Brooklyn | Yard. | Lot | Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 5—The Herald’s Washington correspondent telegraphs: To | convince €ongress that the defects in dry dock No. 3 at the Brooklyn navy- yard are not due to soil, Secretary Long has forwarded to Representative Hil- born, senior member of the House Naval Committee, views of expert officers on the subject. Walsh Bros., who built the dock, assert, it is alleged, that the structure was constructed in a substan- tial manner, but that the quicksand char- | acter of the soil caused the development of defects. The defense of Civil Engineer A. G. Menocal is expected to raise a similar issue. Naval Constructor Bowles, who is superintending the repairs to the drydock, and Civil Engineer M. T. Endi- cott, assistant to the Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, were ordered to make an investigation. Their letters have been forwarded to Hilborn. . Hilborn told me to-night the officers had agreed that the navy-vard sofl is | fully capable of resisting the pressure | from the weight of the three docks now | in the yard. Secretary Long may send civilian experts to Brooklyn to investi- gate the condition of the soil. I saw Rep- resentatfve Hilborn to-night and he said: “The statements made by Naval Con- structor Bowles and Civil Engineer Endi- | cott coincide with my opinion. Represen- tatives of floating drydock schemes with whom I have talked, however, assert that the defects developed in drydock No. 3 were due to the character of the soil. If it should be shown that the soil is re- | sponsible for causing the defects then it | would be throwing money away to con- | tinue to repair dock No. 8. | 7#1 do not belleve that the Brooklyn | navy-yard is an ideal site for docks, but that we can build a dock there and main- tain it is proved by the fact that we have one wooden and one granite dock that have done good service. Drydock No. 3 accommodated the battle-ship Massa- | chusetts satisfactorily. Its bottom was able to stand the weight. The defects | which have devBloped have appeared at the entrance of the dock and have no I reference, it is my opinion, to the char- | acter of the soil.” | of bonds, which seemed likely, in view of the present condition of the revenues, be- fore the end of the year. Foot (R.) of New York and Mahon (R.) | of Pennsylvania opposed the amendment, | maintaining that the adoption would re- | sult precisely as had the effort of Con- | gress to reduce the price of armor plate, and that it was likely to cause one year's delay in the manufacture of guns. The amendment was defeated, 56 to 34. Lewis (D.) of Washington obtained the floor to conclude the remarks he had be- | gun earlier in the day. He maintained that the treasury had now only $124,000,000 with which to pay a two-billion dollar | debt—a debt that was constantly increas- | ing. He held that the Government was | now paying a 200-cent dollar in liquidation | of its obligations—obligations that when contracted were worth only 50 cents on the present dollar. After another fruitless effort on the part of McClellan to amend the bill, the reading of the measure was concluded, reported by ‘the committee of the whole to the House and passed. At 3:10 p. m. the House adjourned until Monday. TWO OCEAN STEAMERS STICK IN THE MUD. Kaiser Wilhelm II and La Bretagne Run Aground While Leaving New York Harbor. NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—The steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II of the North German Lloyd line and La Bretagne of the French line ran aground to-day on their way out to sea, and at latest reports La Bretagne was still sticking in the mud in an easy | position, the German vessel having been pulled out. They steamed down the bay in thick weather this morning almost to- gether, and captains and pilots on the bridges were feeling their way gingerly down the narrow channel when the acci- dent occurred. Both ships chose Gedneys channel and when they reached the bar they were in unwelcome proximity to each other. | ple authority for this action on the | part of the Government is conferred | by the act of March 3, 1887, which pro- | vides that whenever in the opinion of the President it shall be deemed neces- | sary to the protection of the Govern- d | ment's interest in any of the bond- aided roads the Secretary of the Treas- | ury is required to redeem or otherwise | clear off the paramount lien or mort- gage by paying the sums lawfully due out of the treasury. The amount which will be necessary | to pay the first lienholders in this case | is something over $8,000,000, the same amount which the Government would have been compelied to pay them had it acquired title under the pending sale. The situation of the Govern- ment is regarded by Attorney-General Griggs, who advised the present course, and other leading officials, as greatly improved thereby, and it is now expected that Judge Sanborn, un- der the circumstances, will willingly consent to a postponement of the sale for an indefinite period, or at least to a date sufficlently remote to allow | the Government ample time in which | to dispose of its interest to the best | advantage. STOLE SILVER FROM VAULTS ‘Theft of a Negro Caused a Pro- longed and Most Exten- sive Count. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Feb. 5. A recount of the Treasury cash which was completed late this afternoon, dis- closed a shortage of The recount, made necessary by the appointment in June last of Ellis H. Roberts as United States treasurer in place of D. N. Mor- gan, was begun on July 1 and since that time about $797,000,000 in cash has been counted. No errors nor shortage of im- portance were discovered until the treas- ury committee had begun work in silver vault No. 1, in which there wer standard dollars. by A colored man named Martin, employed as a laborer, was one day dtscoveredy‘in the coal and wood basement under sus- piclous circumstances and a search re- sulted in the finding of a number of silver dollars which presumably he had ab- stracted from some of the bags. Martin .| was arrested and made a confession ad- mitting he had taken $28, for which he had substituted lead. The court imposed a fine of $50, and Martin was released. This admission cast suspicion upon the entire contents of the vault and a count by handling each individual plece was ordered. On September 10 twenty-eight expert counters and a force of laborers and verifiers, under the direction of G. C. Bance, assistant cashier, began the work of counting the contents of this vault. The time employed, therefore, was nearly five months, the counters working eight hours each day. The shortage of $859 will be made good by Mr. Morgan, the re- tiring Treasurer. It is probable, how- ever, as has been done in similar cases, that Congress will make an appropriation in Mr. Morgan's favor covering the amount. 7N, AS A DOLLAR IN NO STUDENTS city.
