The disposition in the House is to cut the appropriation down. The original bill was for two millions national appro- priation. The Senate cut it only to $1 00. The House committee talks of allowing only $500,000. It was hear- | ing of this that brought Mr. Scott across the continent again after hav- | ing gone home with the impression that He says he is will- | ing to compromise on a million, but that if the nation is to be represented at all it should not offer less than this, | considering the historical importance | of the event being celebrated as well $is kept gecret. as the importance geographically of _Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the Senate, thinks that there is a place in history for a certain young sailorman {If his name can be learned, and he is prosecuting an inquiry in which he has enlisted Senator Foster of Washington. In a letter dated March 4 addressed to the Senator he says: “When Commodore Perry opened the | ports of Japan the Japanese Govern- ment had in prison a young fellow frem | Washington Territory who had- been shipwrecked on their coast. He was in prison only because he was a for- eigner. They were cross-examining him, and asked him what officers of | our Government held higher rank than the men they knew. He said the offi- cers of the navy had to obey the Sec- retary of the Navy, and that he was under the President. They asked him who was greater than the President. This boy said, 'The people is greater than the President’; and in giving the account of this afterward he said, ‘Of this they could make nothing.’ “That remark of his,” adds Chaplgin | Hale, “is so fine that it ought to go and he wants to know if it be possible to trace | the identity of the sailor through any | of the historical societies of the West or otherwise. | CALIFORNIA'S P‘\TRO\AGF./ | The failure of Senator Bard’s essay at harmony in the California delega- tion with regard to the distribution of | Federal patronage is the occasion of many a wry face among its members. The way seemed entirely clear to a certain arrival at satisfactory nomina- tions to fill future vacancies. The po- | sition taken by Senator Perkins will, carry the matter over until next ses- sion. No great importance attaches to this, he says, as there are no appoint- | ments pending save those which Sen- ator Bard 1eserved. The argument is | made, however, that for this reason the time is opportune for arriving at an agreement covering the future and be- fore any contention has arisen over the filling of vacancies. Nevertheless many admit the strength of Senator Perkins | position in the matter, while regretting , the possible effect on the strength ot‘ the delegation. Captain Daniels has introduced a new | bill touching the Colorado River irriga- | tion question. It sets out as a fact| that the water is more valuable for irrigation than for navigation purposes | and legalizes the appropriation that has | been made of the water already by irrigation companies and admits the same right in the future to any to! which it is accorded by the States or | Territories through which the river flows. This makes a general m-opofl!-l tion of what was directed to the bene- | fit of a single company and will at¢ least eliminate some ground of oppo- sition on the part of the geological sur- vey. The water of the river is nearly all employed in irrigation now and a | large part of its use for this purpose | is in Mexico, it being carried some dis- taneé through that country by way of finding grade and thence back into California. Some interesting questions will develop in the consideration of the bill. ADVERTISEMENTS.
