APPOINTMENTS.
About Committees.
Washington, April 9.—The House
of Representatives was engaged all
day in considering the report of the
committee on rules.
The committee on commerce and
on appropriationsjwere increased to
fifteen members and the ways and
means committee to thirteen mem
bers. The wisdom of this measure
is deemed very questionable. One
of the (imposed changes was that it
should require a vote of three-fourths
to suspend the rules and pass an ap
propriation bill. This was thought
to be aimed at the practice of the
committee on commerce in passing
the river and harbor bill, anu it was
therefore vigorously resisted by
Reagan,of Texas. Cox, of New York,
made a flippant) speech, and Garfield
a sensible one for tiie proposed rule.
It seemed to the House that
the efffect of the change would
be to put obstacles in the
way of passing the river and harbor
bill. The result of the debate was a
victory over the committee on rules
and the committee on appropriations,
the House voting for a substitute
which actually enlarges the powers
of the committee on commerce on this
and enables them to bring the bill
before the House at any time.
The House also adopted a provision
which enables the chairman of the
committee of the whole to recognize
the really able men of the House for
debate in preference to the block
heads who areal ways striving for the
floor.
One of the interesting features of
the debate to-day was a speech by
Mr. Randall against changing the
rule which says the amendment must
be germaue and in the interest of
economy.

BILL REGARDING EI'IDElflC DIS
EASES.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.)
Washington, April 11.—The Sen
ate select committee to investigate
and report the best means for pre
venting the introduction and qpreiul
of epidemic diseases, met to-day for
the-purposc of considering an elabo
rate bill, which is the joint work of
their chairman (Senator Harris),
and the recently created National
Board of Health, and embodies the
conclusions readied by the Board in
its sessions last week. Tho bill thus
prepared was adopted, and will be re
commended for enactment without
material chaugos. It provides fiiat
every vessel bound for tho United
States shall obtain properly authen
ticated certificates of sanitary con
dition and history of vessel, cargo,
passengers and crew. It provides for
the establishment of suitable quaran
tine regulations,and for the erection of
buildings for disinfection purposes,
and for the designation of proper offi
cials to carry out the provisions of the
health laws and applies penalties for
a disregard thereof. It directs the
National Board of Health to cause a
thorough inspection to be made of ail
animals arriving at, or expected from
the different shipping ports of the
United States, and to cause owners
or shippers to be promptly notified of
the results of such inspection with
such recommendations us may be
proper in each case. Similar notifi
cations nre to be made to the State
and local authorities. The bill finally
proposes to appropriate $(S"i0,000 to
meet the expenses to be incurred in
carrying out its provisions.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Washington', April 11.—Comtnis-
sionerRaum has received a letter from
Represen tat 1 vo Persons, of Georgia,
regarding the small four per cent,
bonds issued by that State. Mr. Per
sons asks:
First, Will you inform me if there
is any law or ruling which can tax
any bank, corporate or private, for
paying out a bond of any sovereign

tute in the United States in pay
ment of checks upon such banks

ment?
Second, Or, is there any law or
ruling, which can in anymunuertax
any bank for receiving or paying
such bonds in lieu of currency be

posits of any character?
Third, Would not State, private,
and national banks stand on tho
same footing ns to receiving or pay

After u brief reference to tho bonds
in question, the Commissioner re
plies that lie does not regard them as
“money” within the meaning and
intent of that word, ns used in that
portion of the revised statutes im
posing a tax upon bank deposits, and
after further consideration, lie con
cludes as follows:
In reply to your inquiries, there
fore, I have to say that there is no
ruling of this bureau, nor In my
opinion is there any internal revenue
law, which requires a tax from any
bank or banker for paying out bonds
of the State of Georgia iu satisfaction
of checks drawn upon such banks,
nor is there any internal revenue
law which imposes a tax upon any
bank or banker for receiving or pay
ing out such bonds in lieu of cur
rency. State banks, private banks
and national banks stand upon the
same footing under internal revenue
laws as to receiving and faying out
such bonds.

the pope’s letter.
Tho Times' correspondent says tho
Pope’s letter concerning the educa
tion question lias groat importance
apart from tbe subject of which it
treats, as it directly confirms the im
pression whioh some newspapers
have combated, that the Pope under
stands the liberty and dignity of the
Papacy to consist in removing from
Rome all means of practicing and
propagating whatever the Church
holds to be heretical, and that bis
gradually increasing Insistence on
the restoration of temporal power is
prompted by nn equally increasing
conviction that until the Pontiff re
gains his earthly sway it will lie im
possible to prohibit the liberty of
worship and instruction. Thus he
declares in this holy city the religion
of Christ ought to reign sovereign,
and the universal teacher of faith
ought to have full power to close all
access against Impiety, and to main
tain the purity of Catholic teaching.

Washington? April 10.—I have
just had an interview with Mr.
Green B Itaum, the commissioner of
internal revenue, with respect to tbe
questions that have arisen in regard
to the Georgia four per cent, bonds.
Commissioner Itaum informs me
that he will decide that tbe bonds are
not subject to tbe tax of ten per cent,
upon currency. He will hold that
the four per cents, are precisely what
they purport to be and what Georgia
issued them for—namely, bonds. I
have been informed by several treas
ury officials that they can see no ob
jection to these new securities and no
ground for any opinion that they are
bills of credit. Universal surprise is
expressed here at the fact that Geor
gia is able to lloat a four per cent,
bond.
The Constitution has this: One of
Georgia’s baby bonds lias wandered
off to Charlotte, N. C., and another
is shown as a curiosity in Galveston,
Texas.
The astonishment of tbe Treasury
officials in Washington that Georgia
is able to lloat a four per cent, bond is
ill-timed und injudicious. No per
son who does not know what a great
corn- State Georgia is under Democratic
rule ought to be allowed to hold a

that tliis arrangement might meet
with approval if an absolute agree
ment existed between tbe powers,

impartial and equally firm.

San Francisco Correspondent Boston Bulletin.)
There are so many curious turns of
Fortune’s wheel on the Comstock. I
heard only yesterday of a case where
cold-blooded persistency of purpose
and tenacity of grit in the face of
most discouraging circumstances won
a l>ig fortune—anil the case is most
remarkable because, knowing tlie
parties, meeting them every day,
being familiar with their surround
ings, etc., 1 never before heard of it.
It leaked out only by accident. Mr.
Hoot is tbe man who designed all
tlie machinery, laid all tlie plans,
made all tlie contracts and superin
tended tlie work of building Gov.
.Stanford's wire-cable street railroad
in tills city, which runs a distance of
nearly two miloH through tlie richest
and best portion of tliiB city, and is
to-day tlie model street railroad of the
continent. Hoot is a young mail,
not over thirty-six, thin, wiry, home
ly, and—well, shabby. He is a splen
did mechanic, and though fora long
time in the Central Pacific employ
nobody knew until lie built the .Stan
ford street railway, entirely on liis
own plans, that there was so much in
him. To look at him you wouldn’t
think Root ever saw a mining stock
certificate.
Yet one day when Sierra Nevada
was booming along at 200, Hoot walk
ed into tlie office of a leading broker,
an old friend, and said :
"Dau, guess we'd bettor got rid of
some of tills now," and ho handed
over two certificates, one of 500 shares
and tlie other of loo. “Dan” took
them, looked them over, and noticed
that the bucks of both were perfectly
covered with receipts for. assess
ments.
“Where in tlie world did you get
these?" asked Dan.
“Bought ’em four years ago," said
Root. Had ’em lying in my trunk
ever since. Paid, I think, fifty cents
a share for some, and six bitsforsome
more, and got some for two bits.
Been paying assessments ever since,
religiously, und the whole lot stands
me about $5 a share. I want you to
pay half of it now, for I guess it’s
time to 'call tlie turn,’ and within
three days 300 shares of Root’s stoek
found a market at from $-00 to $320,
and liis broker passed to his credit
over $60,000.
The other 300 shares he got rid of
at, $225 and $240, and about $70,000
more went to liis credit. He hauled
down $50,000, and then, as to tbe rest,
said to liis broker (and here is the
point I want to make), “1 want you
to put ho many thousand in Norcross,
so many into California, “o many in
ti Curry and so many into Beloher.
Pay for them; let them lie; and
when assessments come, pay on
them."
“But,” said the broker, “you may
have to wait, and—"
"That’s just what I expect to do-
wait. But sooner or Inter some one
or tlie other of those stocks will make
me a fortune.
And that Is tbe spirit that ouraver-
ge working Californian goes into
peculation on tbe Comstock with.
Few here buy Comstock stocks for
dividends. Let a mine there begin
to pay dividends, and unless they are
very big, or the mine 1ms a prospect
if keeping them up. not a dollar is
added to the value of the stock. Our
piiet buyers, our business men, our
shrewd capitalists, nre all actuated by
he same idea. “Buy them when
they are cheap, lay them away, and
sooner or later, if any mine within a
mile makes a strike, we may make
500 per cent. If tlie strike should
come in our own mine we limy make
from 600 to 10,000 per cent., and, per
haps, if we have stock enough, walk
off with tbe fortune we expected to
liave to work all our lives for.”

a draw. Durinq a hard contest of

Chicago Times.)
G. A. Jones, general agent of (he
Fort Harrison Orange Grove Compa
ny, Tampa hay, Florida, is in the
city perfecting arrangements for
making Chicago the distributing
point for Florida oranges in tlie West.
Heretofore, oranges from that section
liave came around by way of New
York. Now they go hv steamer to
Cedar Keys and thence by rail direct
to this city, reaching here within ten
days from tho time of picking.
Messrs. Van Fleet & Armstrong,
Chicago men, are now building the
Tampa, Peascreek and St. John’s
railroad, which, when completed,
will give an all-rail route direct
from these groves to Chicago, short
ening the time from picking to de
livery here about six days. Several
car loads a week are already being
received by the general agents here,
and when tlie trade is fully devel
oped, it promises to become more
I important than that in California
fruits. The productions of this coun
try include several varieties of or
anges lemons, etc., and the pink
shaddock, a fruit as large as a child’s
head; the skin about tlie color of that
of a lemon, and the fruit itself a kind
of cross between an apple ami an
orange. It is used in cooking and
making delicious pies, puddings, etc.
Tbe smooth orange is best known in
this market, but the russet orange,
whose skin bears some resemblance
to that of the russet apple, will prob
ably come into favor when better
known, being just as sweet and juicy,
while not so liable to decay as the
other kinds. These fruits will prob
ably usurp the place of the Meuiter
ran can for tlie reason that the time
required for their delivery is so much
loss, whereby they can he allowed to
i remain on the trees till they come to
perfection.
