THOUGHT IT AN EARTHQUAKE.
yew Jersey Dynamite irorfc * Jiloicn Up TFif/
a Terrible Crash.
The Forsito Powder and Dynamite com
pany's works , near Hopatcong , New Jersey ,
were blown up on the 22d by a terrific er-
plosion , which shook the country for miles
around. People thought there was an
earthquake , and when tho sky in the direc
tion of Lake Hopatcong became lurid a
short time later it was conjectured that
tho Hotel Breslin , at tho head of tho lake ,
was burning. The matter was much
thought of by country people in the vicini
fx 1 / ty until next day , when afarmer living near
the works came through and reported that
tho Forsite works had blown up and that
several men were killed. Tho works are in
a secluded spot , and all facts concerning
them are kept a secret and as quiet as pos
sible by the owners , owing to the general
dislike of having such a dangerous business
carried on anywhere near a community. Ib
is impossible at present to verify the loss
o ; life.

Important that ho concluded to approve

tion made Saturday by Goff , of Iowa , to

mittee of the whole , Reagan in the chair ,
on the sundry civil bill. The paragraph
relating to the bureau of engraving and
printing having been reached , Dingley of-
lered an amendment reducing the engrav
ers' notes of tho denomination of § 1 , § 2

SEXATE , June 22. Maxey , from the com
mittee on Nicaragua claims , reported a

States against that government. The reso
lution was agreed to. The senate took up
the bill repealing the pre-emption and tim
ber culture laws. Senator Blair had moved
an amendment prohibiting the acquisition
in one ownership of mere than G40 acres
of desert lauds. To this Senator Ingalls
offered an amendment applying the limita
tion to all public lands. The later propo
sition , which was the pending question to
day was voted down. Senator Blair's
amendment was then voted down yeas

of detail and without final action on the
bill the senate adjourned.
Hous3 , Juno 22. The speaker laid be
fore the house nine messages from the pres-
ident , announcing his disapproval of a liko
number of private pension bills , and they
were referred to the committee on invalid
pensions. Several of the president's terso
sentences and ironical suggestions were
greeted with applause and laughter. On
motion of Mr. Scott , of Pennsylvania , the
-senate bill granting right of way to rail
road companies through Indian reserva
tions in Northern Montana was passed.
Mr. Morrison stated to the house that he
would not to-day make a motion , to go
into committee of the whole on the tariff
bill. He called up the proposed change of
the rules making it in order to amend a
general pension bill by adding a provision
for the imposition of a law to meet expen
ditures required by thebill. An interesting
debate followed , after which Mr. Morrison ,
moved the previous question on the adop
tion of the resolution. Mr. Reed moved as
a substitute to lay the resolution on the
table. The yeas and nays were ordered
and resulted in the defeat of Mr. Reed's
substitute yeas 120 , nays 139. Before a
vote could be taken on the original mo
tion Mr. Reed moved an adjournment , and
the republicans , by dilatory tactics , man
aged to consume time up to 5 o'clock , when ,
under the standing order , the house ad
journed amid outbursts of applause and a
derisive laugh from the republicans.
SENATE , June 23. Frye , from the com
mittee on commerce , reported favorably
the bill to amend the laws relating to tho
inspection of steam vessels. The bill pro
vides for the payment out of the treasury
of the expenses of steamboat inspectors.
The bill was passed without debate. Haw-
ley's motion was then taken up to recon
sider the vote by which the senate passed
the bill prohibiting members of congress
from acting as attorneys of land grant
railroads. The motion to reconsider hav
ing been brought to a vote , it was agreed
to ySas 31 , nays 21. The only republican
voting in the negative was Van Wyck. Tne
democrats voting in the affirmative were
Messrs. Call. Gray , Payne , Pngh and Ran
som. Hawley then moved to refer the bill
"to the judiciary committee , which was
done. Thebill to repeal the pre-emption
. and timber culture laws was then placed
before the senate and was debated till ad-
. journment.
HOUSE , June 23. Morrison called up the
report of the committee on tho rules
amending the rules of tho house , upon
which a debate occurred yesterday. Reed ,
of Maine , raised the question of considera
tion and Hiscock , of New York , expressed
his desire to go on with tho sundry civil
bill. Randull remarked that he could tako
care of that measure. On a standing yoto
the house refused SO to 91 to consider
the report and the result was received with
applause from tho republicans , but on a
yea and nay vote the house determined
yeas 133 , nays 115 to consider tho re
port , Reed changing his vote at the last
moment to enable him to move to recon
sider. Having made that motion , ho
yielded to Hiscock to move to adjourn
and this motion he supplemented with an
other that when the house adjourns to-day
it bo to meet on Friday next. The houso
remained , as one member characterized it ,
in a state of innocuous desuetude until a
quarter past four , when further proceed
ings under the call were dispensed with and
the question recurred on Burrows' motion
to adjourn until Saturday. This was voted
down yeas 2 , nays 145 no quorum , and
another roll call consumed the time to 5
o'clock , when the house adjourned.
SENATE. Juno 24. Logan moved as an
amendment the provision of the bill here
tofore passed by the senate fixing all dis
trict judges' salaries at 55,000 a year
Logan advocated an amendment , which
was agreed to on the first division , relating
to salaries , by a vote of 32 yeas to 20
nays ; second division , prohibiting nepot
ism , by a viva voce vote. The bill , a'a
ameVided was then passed. The bill re
pealing thu pre-emption and timber culture
laws was then proceeded with. George
addressed the senate on the bill. The bill
was then passed yeas 34 , nays 20. The
Fitz John Porter bill was then laid before
the senate. Sewell said it was the same
bill that had passed before. Sewell had the
clerk read a uumbcr of resolutions of
Grand Army posts urging the passage of
the bill. Logan obtained the floor to
reply to Sewell and after an executive
session tho senate adjourned.
HOUSE , June 24. Without division , the
house committee of the whole incorporated
an amendment in the sundry civil bill re
quiring tho secretary of the treasury to
issue certificates of the denomination of
51 , $2 and $5 on all surplus silver dollars
now in the treasury in payment of appro
priations made in this J > ill and other ex
penditures and obligations of the govern
ment. Long , of Massachusetts , rising to a
correction in The Record , said that in a
speech made some weeks ago the gentle
man from California ( Henley ) had charged
that Charles Francis Adams , of the Union
Pacific railroad , had committed gross vio
lations of law. He had asked the gentle
man to specify what these violations were
and the only specific reply made by the gen
tleman was that Adams had himself stated
that the matter of free passes given by the
Union Pacific cost the government some
§ 2,000 per day. He ( Long ) had denied the
correctness of this statement , and he found
that his denial was altogether too broad ,
as it appeared from his published speech
that Henley had said that it. cost the com
pany § 2,000. Adams , in his testimony be
fore the senate committee , had stated that
the free passes issued cost the company
52,000 a day , but this was not a violation
of iitiv , and the statement was accompa
nied by the modifying remark that many
of the passes were issued to railroad em
ployes. He then went into a denial in _ de
tail of the many charges made against
Adams.
SEXATE , June 25. The senate took up
the Fitz John Porter bill and Logan
addressed tho senate. He opened with
an objection to the bill on constitutional
grounds. The bill , he said , provided for
an increase in the number of persons on
the retired list of the army , providing tho
president appointed a certain person to a
place. Where did the senate get power to
name to the president a person whom ho
should appoint to an pfficp ? Where did
the house of representatives get any power
to name to the president a person whom
he should nominate to an ofiice ? Plumb ,
in opposing the bill , said the reinstate
ment of Fitz John Porter was the begin
ning of an attempt to rewrite the history
of the union army , to put that which was
disloyal and unfaithful above that which
was loyal and faithful. Logan offered an
amendment to place on the retired list
every volunteer officer who received wounds
producing total disability. Rejected yeas
IS , nays 29. The bill was then brought to
a vote and passed yeas 30 , nays 17. The
bill having alreadv passed the house , and
not having been amended by the senate ,
now goes to the president for his signature.
HOUSE , June 25. The speaker laid be
fore the house various veto messages yes
terday transmitted by the president. Hep
burn moved that the consideration of one
of the vetoed bills , granting a pension to
the widow of Maj. Gen. Hunter , be post
poned until Tuesday next. The motion
wns lost yeas 59 , nays 141 and the mes
sage took the usual course. The other
messages were appropriately attended to.
On motion of Hatch , the senate amend
ment to the agricultural appropriation
was non-concurred in , and Messrs. Hatch ,
Winnns and Price were appointed con
ferees. On motion of Bnigg , the joint res
olution was passed appointing Gen. Wm.
J. Sewell , of New Jersey ; Gen. Martin T.
McMahn. of New York , and Capt. T. J.
Mitchell , of Wisconsin , to fill vacancies in
the board of manages of the national home
for disabled volunteers. The house then
went into committee of the whole , Reagan
iu the chair , on the sundry civil bills.
CIVIL SERVICE IBOSTON.
Boston dispatch : Governor Robinson ,
this afternoon , vetoed the Lobin bill giving
preference in appointments to ofllce to
honorably-discharged soldiers and sailors ,
without civil service examination. The
veto message contains over 2,000 words.
The governor reviews the operation of tho
civil service reform law during the two
years since its enactment , and declares the
same has worked effectually and smoothly
and is sustained by public sentiment , and
he refuses to participate in any move
"which shall tend to the improvement of
the system or tear down by piecemeal in
response to a claim , unrounded and unsup-
portable , that full and just recognition is
not secured to the veterans of the lato war.
The governor reviews and combats every
argu ment advanced againstcivil service law.
COJTBOr TOUGHS.
Denver Junction ( Col. ) dispatch : Yester
day afternoon the town was thrown in a
commotion over the appearance of a gang
of cowboys , who are on a drive from tho
south. They first , as usual , filled up at the
saloons , then mounting their horses they
began riding through tho town , up and
down the sidewalks and into the saloons.
After they had rounded up the town , as
they supposed , and were nearly ready to
depart , they made an attempt to ride their
horses iuto the Citizens' bank. They met
with an obstacle at the door which they
could not surmount. Both horse and
rider was quickly forced from the sidewalk.
They at once dismounted and came to the
door. Some fears were entertained for a
short time of serious trouble. Guns were
very handy and in sight , but none were
ased. The cowboys little expected to meet
with such an element at the bank.
DEADLOCK JN FRENCH LEGISLATION.
Grave Complications Groiclng Out ofExpitl-
slon of the Prince * .
A a'spatch just received from Paris states
that there is an Imminent probability of n
deadlock between the senate and chamber ol
deputies on question of the expulsion of the
princes. The radicals of the chamber overshol
the mrrk in making their hill too sweeping to
be stomached by ttie aristocrats of the senate ,
and It * first reception by the latter body was
its reference to a special committee , compris
ing a large majority of known royalists , amid
sneers and derisive laughter. This committee
made short work of the bill. During the ses
sion it was shown that the charges against
Comte de Paris were : First that he had sub
sidized the so called agricultural committees
throughout the country , which were really
election committees formed In his Interest.
The absurdity of this charge was shown by
the fact that at the last election , despite the
formal order of Compte de Paris , the agricul
tural list nf candidates remained la the field
at the second ballot , the result being the
triumph of many raicals over moderate
republicans , whom the royalists would of
course have preferred. The other charge was
the grandeur of the reception given by Comte
de Paris on his daughter's departure from Lis
bon to bemarriedand the Inviting to his recep
tion of the foreign ambassador jn Paris. In ans
wer to this it , was shown that these same am
bassadors | had always been iu terms of re
ciprocal hospitality with the comte , and with
all members of his family. He would have
lie n lacking in common courtesy had he
allied to invite them , although he was doubt-
iesa aware they would accept the Invitations.
This charge was therefore laughed out of
court , and it was found that there was really
no allegations of illegal conduct on the part of
the head of the Orleans house. As to the
Bonapartes it was sufficient for the destruc
tion of that part of the bill to quote De Frey-
cinet's bon mot : "If the Orleanista are ex
pelled the Bonapartes will feel slighted If they
are not also banished. " This disposed of the
whole bill , which the committee rejected by a
vote of G to 3. The best judgment obtained
is that the senate will sustain the action of its
committee. In this case there is likely to bo a
prolonged wrangle between the two houses of
parliament. Concessions will be asked for ,
which will cause a long debate and probably
materially change the provisions of the bill.
This will be an exceedingly critical time for
De Freycinet and his cabinet. The premier
has hitherto succeeded beyond expectation in
hunting with the hounds and running with the
bares , but will now be daily confronted with
novel and embarrassing questions , upon which
he can hardly take any stand with
out the violation of some pledge or declaration
tiiat he has made to one sidu or other. He
has also four violent cxpulsionists among the
mcinbei s of his cabinet , who must be placated
if the ministry is to stand. This again coin-
promising the fact that the whole radical
campaign for expelling the princes was less
for the purpose of accomplishing their expul
sion than for speeding the premier's downfall.
The next few clays will also be a critical per
iod for the republic itself. The satirists are
already Baying that France , having shown a
pitiful weakness in seeking to expel the princ
es , is now showing still more weakness in uot
expelling them after declaring its intention to
do so. The event has also added a certain de
cree of dignity to the attitude of the Comte
de Paris. , fle has been recognized by the
highest official authority in the land as a per
sonage of importance. He is made a pretend
er to the throne willy nillyaud his Importance
is vastly augmented among the clergy and no
bility of the whole country. Altogether it
will be well for De Freycinet , Grevy and all
interested ia the present regime or in the con
tinuance of republicanism in France to use
their utmost endeavor to bring the crisis to a
close at the earliest possible moment
THE ANARCHISTS ON TRIAT
The Means Employed by the Defense to Get
a Favorable Jury.
Chicago dispatch : Judge Gary's court
vras thronged when the work of selecting a
jury in the anarchist cases was resumed
this morning. This is a tedious piece of
business , and from the men examined and
excused it is not beyond the range of prob
ability that it may be impossible to'find
within the limits of Cook county twelve
men who can pass the ordeal to which they
must submit before being accepted. From
questions put by counsel for the defense it
is evidently their intention to shut out
Irish Catholics and very pronounced
churchmen of every denomination , all large
employers , foremen in shops , and old sol
diers of the union. Judge Gary was in his
place for several minutes before the hour
for resumption of business. At 10 o'clock
precisely the eight prisoners were escorted
into the jury room and subjected to tho
usual routine of hand-shaking by Captain
Black and Attorney Zeisler. They had all
been visited over night by a few select friends ,
among whom Mrs. Parsons was con
spicuous. Parsons' inner man was
strengthened and regaled by the delicacies
with which this lady never fails to supply
her liege lord. There was nothing new iu
the aspect or demeanor of the anarchists
as they took their accustomed places.
Upon questions propounded by the state's
attorney it was found that Bylus , one of
the men accepted by the defense , had an
anarchist in his employ. He was excused
by the state. The state accepted James II.
Cole , accepted by the defense yesterday.
He is the first juror chosen. He is a loco
motive fireman a.-d was an officer in the
union army. During the progress of the
examination , Griunell , state's attorney ,
paid : "By the way , before I go further ,
counsel on the other side have given us a
surprise by producing S. Parsons in court.
Are you going to produce Schnaubell here ,
also ? " "No , sir , " answers Captain Black ,
"the trial is too far advanced for that. "
Schnoubell is the alleged boom-thrower.
The questioning then again proceeded.
WILL BLOOM IX CHICAGO.
Chicago special : Rose Elizabeth Cleve
land is to make Chicago her home. For
some weeks Mr. Elder , manager of the El
der Publishing company , has been in com
munication with her relative to coming to
this city and taking charge of the editorial
department of the Literary Life. A dis
patch received this morning from Mr. Elder
states that he has completed all arrange
ments with Miss Cleveland , and that she
will come at once to take the position.
Literary Life is , as its name indicates , a
magazine devoted to polite letters. It is
published by the Elder Publishing com
pany , and numbers among its contributors
and patrons some of the best literary
minds of the country. Mr. Elder has had
this project in mind for some timo. and has
been in correspondence with Miss Cleveland
ever since the projected marriage of the
president made it possible for his sister to
leave the post of honor in the white house.
Mr. Elder is now in Ulica , N. Y. , whero he
met Miss Cleveland and concluded tho ar
rangements mentioned above.
X ON PltlVATE PENSION HILLS.
President Cleveland Exercises His Powers in
Giving 2Item a Quietus.
Washington dispatch : In vetoing the
veteran pension bill to-day tho president
says : I am so thoroughly tired of disap
proving gifts of public money to in
dividuals who , in my view , have no right
or claim to tho same , notwithstanding ap
parent congressional sanction , thatl inter
pose with a feeling of relief in a case whero
I find it unnecessary to determine tho
mtrits of the application. In speaking of
the promiscuous and ill-advised grants of
pensions which have lately been presented
to me for approval , I have spoken of their
apparent congressional sanction in recog
nition of tho fact that a largo proportion
of these bills have never been submitted to
a majority of either branch of congress ,
but are the result o' nominal sessions held
for the express purpose of their considera
tion and attended by a small major
ity oS the members of the respective
houses of the legislative branch of
the government. Thus , in considering
these bills , I have not felt that I wns
aided by the deliberate judgment of con
gress , and when I have deemed it my duty
to disprove many of tho bills presented , I
have hardly regarded my action as dis
tant from the conclusions of the people's
representatives. I have not been insen
sible to a suggestion which should influence
any citizen , either in private station or
official place , to exhibit not only just but
generous appreciation of theservices of our
country's defenders. Heedlessness and dis
regard of the principle which underlies
granting of pensions ia unfiir to the
wounded , crippled soldier who is honored
in just recognition of his government.
Such a man should never bo side by
side on the pension roll with those who
have been tempted to attribute their
natural ills , to which humanity is heir , to
service in the army. The president sug
gests the significance of tho startling in
crease in pension legislation and con
sequences involved in its continuance.
Iu his vnhrk fr rf.llp public building at
Sioux City , the president says : Tho re-
port of the committee of the house of rep
resentatives to whom this bill was re-
ferred , states that , by the census of 1SSO ,
the population of Sioux City wns nearly
8,000 , and that by another enumeration ,
since made , its population would seem to
exceed 23,000. It is further stated in the
report that for the accommodation of this
population the city contains 393 brickand
2,984 frame buildings. It seems to me
that in consideration of the merits of this
bill the necessities of the government
should control the question and that it
should be decided as a business proposi
tion , dependent upon tho needs of a gov
ernment building at the point proposed in
order to do the government work. This
greatly reduces the value of the statistics
showing the population , extent of business ,
prospective growth and matters of that
kind which , though exceedingly interesting ,
do not always demonstrate the necessity
of the expenditure of a large sum of money
for a public building. I find iipon examina
tion that United States courts are some
times held at Sioux City , but that they
have been thus far held in tho county court
house without serious inconvenience and
without any expense to the government.
There are actually no other federal officers
there for whom thegovcrninent should pro
vide accommodations , except the postmas
ter. The postoffice is now located in
a building rented by the government
until the first of January , 1889 ,
at the rate of 2,200 per annum. By the
last report of the supervising architect , it
appears that on October 1 , 1885 , there
were eighty new buildings in course of con
struction and that the amount expended
thereon during the preceding year was
nearly two and one-half million dollars ,
whilo large appropriations were asked to
be expended on these buildings during the
current year. In my judgment the number
of public buildings should not at this time
he increased unless greater public necessity
exists therefor than is apparent in this
case.
THE IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Congratulation Upon the Splendid Progress
dialling by Gladstone.
The following is the substance of the cir
cular sent out by the executive officers of
the Irish National League of America to
the officers and members of branches : Wo
are glad to bo able to congratulate you
upon the splendid progress our cause has
made since we last addressed you. After
the general election now about to take
place we believe that Gladstone will be in a
position to undo , by ai overwhelming ma
jority , the so-called union which that great
statesman himself , in his address at Mid
lothian , so truly described as a paper
union obtained by force and fraud , and
never sanctioned or accepted by the Irish
nation. In pursuance of the powers con
ferred on us by the national executive
committee of the league , we hereby sum
mon the third regular convention of the
Irish National League of America to be
held in Central Music hall , Chicago , on
Wednesday and Thursday , August IS and
19 , and we earnestly trust that every
branch of the league will be fully represent-
i-d thereat. All branches and societies affil
iated with the league that luive subscribed
the regular dues for the current term , or
have contributed to the parliamentary
fund a sum equal to the amount of dues ,
shall be entitled to representation
as follows : Or.o delegate for every
fifty members in good standing ; pro
vided , however , that in country districts ,
where the number of fifty members cannot
be easily reached , the number from twcuty-
Sve to fifty shall be entitled to ono dele
gate. We look for the attendance of an
important delegation from the home league
and parliamentary party. All arrange
ments for the convention shall be under
the sole charge of the committee of arrange
ments of Chicago , already organized , of
which ex-President Alexander Sullivan and
the officers of the league for the city of
Chicago and state of Illinois are members.
Every branch of the league should set to
work promptly to prepare for the coming
crisis , and should remit all funds on hand
immediately to the national treasurer at
Detroit , Mich. , as that money may be for
warded by him to Ireland and be mado
available if necessary , for the approaching
campaign. All true friends of Ireland
should , by active and earnest organiza
tion , endeavor to make our approaching
convention worthy of the sacred cjiuse in
in which we are engaged the cause of Irish
liberty. We remain , yours very faithfully.

THEY WANT TO JOIN US.
Digby ( N. S. ) dispatch : The question of

Prince Victor attracted very little attention
on his arrival in Brussels.
One thousand persons called at the Chateau

thanks.
XO FAVORS FROM THE PUBLIC.
Police SocietarvLoze visited Prince Victor

THIllTi' HILLS DISPOSED OF.
All of Than Having Reference to the Grant
ing of Pensions.
Washington special : President Cleve
land sent to the house to-day thirty mes
sages vetoing as many private pension
bills. These messages are all short and
terse , and the conclusions reached in some
of them as to the demerits of the cases
make rich and rare reading. One of the
cases is that of James II. Darling , whoso
disability is described in the records as a
general stiffness of the joints. The presi
dent says it appears Darling enlisted in
November , 1861 , and. was reported as
having deserted March 5 , 1SG2. An ex
amination in 1882 found this "victim" of
war disability with the appearance of a ,
hale , hearty old man , weighing 1G8 pounds.
"It is evident to me , " he concludes , "that
this man ought not to be pensioned. "
Commenting on another case , a bill for tho
relief of William Bishop , who was enrolled
as a substitute March 25 , 1SG5 , admitted
to hospital with measles May 5 , icttirned
to duty May 8 , and was mustered out
May 11 , 1SG5. the president in vetoing the
bill , says : "This is'the military record of
this soldier , who remained in the army one
month and seventeen days , having entered
it as a substitute at a time when high
bounties were paid. Fifteen years after
this terrific encounter with the measles ,
and on the 28th day of Ji.ne , 1SSO , tho
claimant discovered that his attack of
meales had some relation with his army
enrollment , and this disease settled iu his
eyes , also affecting his spinal column. " Of
another case in a bill for the relief of Julia
Connelly , the widow of Thomas Connelly , a
Holdier mustered into the service Oct. 1G ,
1HG1 , the president says : "He never did
a day's service , so far as his name appears
on the records. He visited his family about
Dec. 15 and was found drowned in a canal
about six miles from his home. Those who
prosecute claims for pensions , " the presi
dent adds , "have grown very bold when
cases of this description are presented for
consideration. " A bill granting u pen
sion to Andrew J. Wilson , who
it appears , was drafted into the service in
February , 1SG5 , and was discharged in
September of the same year , on account of
chronic nephritis and deafness , and who in
his application for pension alleged rheuma
tism resulting from exposure , aud inflam
mation of the muscles of the back , with
pain in the kidneys , diurrhuia , and rupture ,
the president dismisses with this remark :
"Whatever else may be said of this claim
ant's achievements during his short mili
tary career , it must be conceded that he
contracted a great deal of disability.
There is no doubt in my mind that what
ever ailments he mayhonestly lay claim to ,
his title to same was complete before he
tered the army. "
DAVID DAVIS DYING.
BLOOMIXGTON , H.i , Jane 20. "A point has
been reached in the illness of ex-Vice Presi
dent David Davis , " said the physician to-day ,
"when it is thought best by his family to sive
the public a statement of the great gravity of
his condition. Mr. Davis is very ill indeed ,
and it will be little less than a miracle if he
should rally. "
Judge Davis is believed by his friends to be
slowh/but surely sinking to death. He was
taken ill with a carbuncle on his shoulder at
Chicago May 2. Up to two weeks ago his con
dition , thougn at times alarming , seemed to be
oue of gradual improvement. Two weeks ago
severe erysipelas set in , and is growing worse.
For some weeks his sufferings "have been in
tensified and comnlicated by Bright's disease
of the kidneys. Several Chicago doctors have
been summoned , and a consultation will be
held to-morrow.

THE PACIFIC ROADS INDEBTEDNESS.
The Report Tlicrcon by the Second Comp
troller of the Treasury.
Washington dispatch : Some time ago
the secretary of the interior made a state
ment to the secretary of the treasury in re
gard to the indebtedness of the Contra ! and
Union Pacific railroad companies to tho
United States under the provisions of tho
Thurmaii act on account of moneys which
has been , diverted from tho earnings 01
those companies to the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company in the form of subsidy paid
to that company. The secretary of tho
interior expressed tho opinion that tha
railroad companies were indebted to tha
United States in the amount equal to 200
per cent of their earnings. Thus tho
iliverted amount thus due from the Cen
tral Pacific railroad company is
stated at 5354,22k The second
comptroller of the treasury to whom
the matter w.is referred , has reported
to acting Secretary Fairchild that the Cen
tral Pacific company , so far as examined ,
shows that there is due it lor the years
1884 and. 1885 , for services over the un-
subsidized portions of the road , under the
recent decision of the supreme court , sev
eral hundred thousand dollars. He calls
attention to the act of March . ' ' , 1875 ,
which , he says , seems to require the secre
tary o ! the treasury , when called upon to
pay claims due .subsidized railroad compa
nies , to-withhold an amount equal to the
amount of the indebtedness of the compa
nies to the United States , and also the pro
bable cost of establishing that indebted
ness in a suit at law , and in case the com
pany docs not assent to a set-off , to causo
a suit to be brought and to withhold pay
ments until the suit is decided. The comp
troller recommends that this course be
pursued.
Washington special : The Folsom family
have been brought into prominence by tho
presidential marriage. Some of the other
ladies of the Folsom family contracted
well-to-do alliances , although none of them
quite so distinguished as the Buffalo young
lady. There was an Amelia Folsom who
lived at Keokuk , Ia. , who wedded a promi
nent man who will live in history quite as
long as Cleveland. Amelia Folsom is a
cousin of Mrs. Cleveland's mother. She
went west some years ago , probably
attracted there by the same im
pulse that led Grandpa Folsom to
Omaha , where he bought lands when
they were cheap. Amelia Folsom went to
Salt Lake City , where she met the saints of
the Mormon church. It is said that in face
and form she much resembled the lady now
mistress of the white house. She was tall ,
willowy , with sparkling eyes and luxuriant
hair. She was much admired by Brigham
Young , the Mormon bishop , and consented
to become his sixteenth wife. Brigham
Young and Amelia Folsom were joined in
celestial marriage in the temple. She was
followed in the succession of marriages by
Ann Eliza , the seventeenth wife , who lias
since become famous by renouncing poly
gamy and revealing the secrets of tho
church. Amelia was the favorite of all
Brigham Young's wives.
MEASURES THEY DESIRE PASSED.
The committee of Knights of Labor ap
pointed at the Cincinnati convention have
sent a letter to Speaker Carlisle and copies
to Messrs. Randall and Morrison , contain
ing a Hat of measures which it Ls desired
congress should pass , and a memorial look
ing to that cud. Among the measures are
those repealing the timber culture , pre
emption and desert land acts , adjustment
of railroad and other land grants , organ
izing the territory of Oklahoma , prohi
biting aliens from holding land in the
United States , making presidential and
congressional election days holidays , and
punishing bribery. In conclusion the com
mittee says in requesting the passage of
the measures it is not asking anything
from the dominant party only to fulfill tho
promise it made to the people when it jwas
{ coking their suffrages , by which it obtained
its present majority.
