HOT WORK IN THE HOUSE
THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL
UNDER FIRE
Representative Cannon Criticises the
Kepprt as Ringing In New Legisla
tion—Mr. Baker Stirs Up the Mem
bers by Calling up a New Ycrk Sun
Editorial.
\Yashington, Aug. 15.—1n tWr Hou<*
tins morning Mr. Belden of New York
made another unsuocse-ful effort to secure
the passage of the senate bill granting
leases of,ansence to per diem amp eyes of
the customs service, Mr. Kerr of lowa as
Burning the sole objection in this instance.
The House then proceeded to consider
ation of the conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill.
CANNON AS A CRITIC.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois criticised the re
port as being the most extraordinary one
which tad ever oeen submitted during his
experience in tbb House. When the bill
was fist submitted to the House
he bad conceived it to be
bis duty to raise points of order against
items aggregating an appropriation of *330,-
000. These items had been stricken out. The
Senate had agreed to amendments aggre
gating *120,000. The House had non-con
curred in these amendments.
WHEREIN IT IS REMARKABLE.
When this strange thing happened, the
conference report carried the full amount
of the bill as it passed the House with the
full amoun of the Senate amendments and
*120,000 more. The bill created a number
of new offices and Increased a number of
of Texas—Have not many
new offices been created all along the line?
Mr. Cannon —Yes, but not so many as
were crest and two years ago. W e have not
caught up with our democratic friends yet,
but we are chasing them mighty close.
[Laughter.]
As reported from the conference commit
tee, continued Mr. Cannon, the bill was un
wise, ex raordinary, unexampled, extrava
gant aud ought Dot to be passed.
PEEL FEELS AMUSED.
Mr. Feel of Arkansas, one of the con
ferees, said that it was amusing to see the
gentleman from Illinois criticising the Sen
ate amendments. If the committee on
rules, of which the gentleman was a dis
tiuguished figure, had given the committee
on Indian uffairs a day in court, nearly
all the provisions embraced in
the Senate amendments would have
been passed in separa e bills. The gentle
man,as a member of the committee on rules,
had declined to give time to the committee
onlndiau affairs, and now he found that he
had sawed a limb off between himself and
the tree.
GIFFORD MAKES A DENIAL.
Mr. Gifford of South Dakota, another of
the couferees,denied absolutely and squarely
that, the conference committee had Increased
t e amount of t'e appropriation over the
amount carried by the House bill and tue
Senate amendment.
Mr. Springer attributed legislation on
appropriation bills to rules which pre
vented the House from cousidering meas
ures sent over by the Senate. The Senate
•was in self-defense compelled to put legisla
tio i ou appropriation bills.
Mr. Springer moved to commit the bill to
the committee on Indian affairs. The mo
tion was lost by a vote of 45 yeas to 102
cays, the speaker counting a quorum.
Mr. Springer then moved to lay the bill
upon the table.
AN ATPEAL FROM A DECISION.
Mr. Thomas of Wisconsin made the point
that the motion was a dilatory one, aud
this point was sustained by the speaker.
Mr. Springer--I appeal from the decision.
The speaker declined to recognize the ap
peal.
Mr. Springer then moved to adjourn, but
the speaker, disregarding him, directed the
clerk to call the roll ou the adoption of the
report.
Mr. Springer was persistent, aud evoked
a round of laughter by the peremptory In
which he exclaimed to the speaker, “Listen
to me!”
The speaker recognized the motion to ad
journ, aud it was defeated.
The conference report on the Indian bill
was then agreed to.
AID FOR OKLAHOMA.
Mr. Cannon, by uuauimous consent,
called up the Senate joint resolution pro
viding that the unexpended balance of the
appropriation for the aid of the Mississippi
flood sufferers shall be used to aid destitute
persons in Oklahoma. After the adoption
of an amendment providing that the money
shall be disbursed under direction of the
Secretary of War the joint resolution was
passed.
Consideration of the Nat McKay bill was
then resumed.
A motion to refer it to tho committee on
claims was rejected by a vote of 45 yeas to
102 nays, the speaker counting a quorum.
The vote then recurred on the passage of
the McKay bill, w hich resulted iu 77 yeas
to 50 nays. The vote showed no quorum
and a call of tho House was ordered, but
failed to develop a quorum.
Mr. Thomas of W isconsia offered a reso
lution directing the sergeant-at-arms to ar
rest absent members.
STIRRED UP BY AN EDITORIAL.
Mr. Baker of New York created no little
exciteme t by offoring as a substitute tnere
fer a resolution reciting an editorial appaar
ing in the New York Sun of this morning
upon the declaration of Roger Millsof Texas
that "This is no place for me.” Scarcely had
the clerk began to read the preamble when
he was interrupted by a protest from all
sides of the House.
Mr. Dockery of Missouri was the first to
put in his earnest protest against the read
ing of the preamble, and the speaker sug
gested to Mr. Baker that he had better
withdraw it, but this Mr. Baker declined to
do, insisting that the resolution accompany
ing the preamble was in order, and that the
preamble was perfectly germaine to the
resolution.
Mr. Heard of Missouri indignantly re
minded the gentleman from New York that
Mr. Mills was paired w ith Mr.McKiuley.aud
Mr. iSaj-ers of Texas, with as much indig
nation, suggested to the gentleman the
propriety of taking care of his own col
leagues.
BAKER STICKS TO HIS POINT.
Mr. Baker submitted that his resolution
■was iii o: der aud ought to be read and the
preamble printed in the Record.
Mr. Sayers—Why not criticise New
York members who are absent!
Mr. Baker—l do.
Mr. Heard remarked that Mr. Mills had
been here until an hour ago.
The speaker again suggested to Mr.
Bauer the propriety of withdrawing his
pi earn I le.
Mr. Baker said tha' if the speaker desired
he would withdraw Ins preamble with pleas
ure, but the resolution was iu order.
The clerk then proceeded to read the reso
lution, which revoke, all leaves of abse ce
except those granted for illness, or those
granted t • Mes-rs. Rogers. Mills aud others
empl wed like him in an "educational cam
paign.” Before the reading of the resolu
tion was completel Mr. Gear of lona lose
and objected to the clerk proceeding, and
his objection was echoed by republicans and
democrats alike.
m’millix gives him a reminder.
Mr. McMillin of Tennessee hoped that
the gentleman would withdraw his resolu
tion. Had he forgotten that on a previous
occu ion a resolution offered by him had
been returned to him by a vote of the
H<. 4?
Mr. Heard said that if the resolu
tion went n the Record ho would move to
expun o it from p. Hid th gentleman
know that Mr. Mills bad been in the House
slice last Monday honorably protecting the
pmr he hurl made!
Mr. Bakei Lei the resolution go to the
f >niuj I He#* on rui<M.
Jbe (speaker—The chair think* the ge •
tleman had better withdraw the resoiu
| uon.
Mr. Baker—Let it go to the committee on
rules.
Mr. Heard—l object.
Mr. Sayers said that if the gentleman had
any sen e of decency he would withdraw the
resolution.
Mr. Baker replied that there was not the
si ghtest disrespect intended to bis friend
Miks.
Mr. Sayers—You know better. If not,
'you are not entitle 1 to a sat in the H u-e.
The speaker (disregarding entirely Mr.
Biker’s rev lotion put theq est onon Mr.
Thomas’ resolution, when dilatory tactics
were resorted to un‘ll 5 o’clock, when the
House took a recess till 8 o’clock, the even
i g session to be for the consideration of
private p-nsion bills.
The House at Its evening session, with
Mr. Perkins of Kansas in the chair, pass-d
136 private pe ision bills, and at 10:30
o’clock adjourned.

A Thousand People Turn Out at the
Meeting at Butler.
Butler, Ga., Aug. 15.—The oonnty Sun
day school association held its annual meet
ing here Wednesday. A thousand people
were present. R. B. Reppard of Savannah
attended the meeting and gave several in
teresting talks to the children. Maj. Pel
ham, manager for Gen. Gordon in Taylor,
superintended affairs, and arranged a good
program ne. On behalf of Butler Sunday
schools W. E. Steed welcomed tho visiting
Sunday schools, aud Mr. Johnson of Rey
nolds responded.
The feature of the day was the singing
contest bet ween the Butler and Reynolds
schools. It had been looked forward to
by the children with the keenest interest,
and both sides were in splendid training.
The contest lasted two hours, and the
banner was given to the Reynold* school
amid uproarous applause.
Reynolds won the banner a year ago and
the school took it away again yesterday.
Butler oore the defeat gracefully and she
excelled herself in her elegant treatment of
the guests.

and B. H. Griffith received the visitors and
made a day full of enjoyment for them.
Dinner was served in the grove on the
college campus and the exercises took place
in the college chapel.

BUMTEK’S TAX RETURNS.
Magnificent Progress In Amerlcus and
the County.
Americus, Ga., Aug. 15.—Tax Receiver
Mize has c <mplet id his returns for the pres
ent year, and furnishes the News cor
respondent with the following gratifying
exhibit of the taxable property of the
county: Total returns of property, *5,832,-
400, an increase over 1880 of *1,100,414. Of
this increase *1,103,872 is in tho Twenty
seventh district, which includes Americus.
The increase in the other eight county dis
tricts is *80,542. The property values of the
county have almost doubled in the last
three years. The increase in that time
amounts to over *2,4X1,000. This is certainly
a wonderful showing, but it does not give a
full report of the county’s rarnd strides
in population and wealth. The indications
are that the returns for 1891 will show a
still more wonderful growth. More build
ings have been completed since April and
are now under contract than for any like
period in the city’s history. This list in
cludes a *IOO,OOO hotel, an iron foundry
and several other extenslvo manufacturing
plants. Over 100 residences are now under
contract.

THE MEXICANS’FAVORITE DRINK.
Century Plants Despoiled of Their Sap
to Supply the Material for Pulque.
t From the Kansas City Star.
Pulque is pronounced "pulky,” and is
the national beer of Mexico. In the Mexi
can cities pulque shops are as numerous as
were locusts in Egypt, the prohibition eagle
never having mado its fatal swoop in that
languid laud of the tropics. Some of these
shops, from a Mexican point of view, are
neat and clean; though it should be added
that a Mexican point of view, when cleanli
ness is considered, is not eminent.
Pulque is the fresh juice or sap of the
century plant ar.d is consumed the day it is
gathered, as it will become sour and unpal
atable within twenty-four hours. The
method of the production is simple. The
long central sh ot of the plant, which nat
urally would be projected upward from
twenty to forty feet, like some mighty club
of Samson, is cut out at its base in the verv
inception of its growth. This leaves a basin
iu i*. bioh collects tue sap which was meant
for the growth of the plant. A Mexican
who deals in the commodity has what is
called a pulque oroha and, and this is large or
Itnall, according to his ambitions, Oace a
day—the early morning hours—he dips the
pulque out of tne vegetable basiu into a
pig -kin, wherein it is at once purveyed to
the tavern keeper to be sold. That is all
there is to the proce-s and it is dispensed at
about lj-j cents a gloss.
In npp a ancee, taste and sticky consist
encypulq. e much resembles yeast. Con
nected w.thi-s sale is au exercise which
the barkeepe. performs, which has driven
many a ten ier American tourist away
without his p dque, after it was ordered anil
paid for. The Mexican glasses have no
bandies, and graspiug it so as to project at
least one linger aud sometimes two iut > the
glass, the barkeeper di tne pulque.
Asa necessity, from the method employed
ad the consistent character of
the liquid, considerable adheres to
the barman’s fingers, aud as he
shoves your glass towards you, by a dex
terous dirt of the hand he adds this pulque
ou Ins lingers to the contents of your g ass,
thus cleaning tin* soiled digits and winniug
your esteem by giving good imaiure at one
and the ano time. A dexterous dispenser
wul indulge in this professional fi r and
never get a drop of pulque outside your
gl.isi. Tuis thing has been known to disgust
\UI rica is, who would push their pulque
loses wi hmt lasti g, all to the high con
tempt of the msn "f puiqus, who regards
such stums - bs as far too ladylike.
GIBBONS ON NEWMAN.
The American Cardinal’s Views on the
Great Englishman.
From the Sew York Times.
Cardinal Gibbons is the guest of Maj.
John D. K-iley at nil rcs.de .ce, 213 Cler
mont avenue, Brooklyn, where he was en
t rtained last evening at dinner. The cardi
nal, with Archbishop Kendrick of SL Louis
and Arch b'shep Ryan of Philadelphia,
arrived yesterday morning from Bir Har
bor. He was driven to Maj. Keiley’s house
in Brooklyn, while his fellow-travelers con
tinued their journey homeward. The car
dinal intended to remain in Brooklyn until
to-morrow, but he 1* arned yesterday of the
illness of his secretary. Dr. Whelan, in Bal
timore, and may on that account go home
to-day.
The news of the death of Cardinal New
man deeply affected Cardinal Gibbons, and
when seen last evening by a Times reporter
in Maj. Keily’s parlor be said that the dead
churchman was generally regarded by
Englishmen as their most distinguished
countryman. "Cardinal Newman,” said
Cardinal Gibbons, “was a great Catholic
and a thorough Englishman. He differed
as much from Cardinal Manning as M ses
did from Joshua Newmau, like Moses, was
the contemplative scholar, while Manning,
like Joshua, was a man who fought the
battle of life in the world. In their obitu
aries the papers appear to have confounded
the two in saying that Cardinal Newman
was a great advocate of the workingman
and assisted in the settlement of the great
dock 1 borers’strike. It was not he, but
Cardinal Manning, who did all this.
"Cardinal Newman is revered by his
countrymen regardless of religious belief.
Asa literary man he had no Euglish rival
excepring possibly Matthew Arnold or
Lord Macauley. He nad a great versatility
of genius, aud bis writings include history,
commentaries on the scriptures, polemics
and controversies. While vigorous a< an
opponent he was courteous to those against
whom he was contending. His popularity
began at the time of his controversy with
Charles Kingley. It was this that called
forth his mas erly work “Apologia Pro
Vita Sua” in 1860, which elicited the ad
miratiou of theE glish speaking world. It
was, besides, a masterly controversial trea
tise, an autobiography, and a sketch of the
men who were ass mated with him in the
Oxford movement.”
Cardinal Gibbons regards as the deed
cardinal’s ablest work his book on the
“Present Position of the Catholic Church
in England,” as it contains great literary re
search and profound reasoning, with an in
finite fund of hum r. Speaking of Cardinal
Newman’s personal life and habits,Cardinal
Gibbous said:
“He lived most modestly in his oratory
near Birmingham, and his suite of rooms
was very plainly furnished. In 1880 I had
the pleasure of breakfasting with him, and
ou that occasion he gave me the story of
the great libel suit in which he was the de
fendant and was finally beaten and
mulcted in a very heavy fine. In a
course of lectures he animadverted on the
conduct of an ex-priest named Achilli, and
though Dr. Newman clearly proved on the
trial the truth of the charges he made, the
jury found against him. His fine was a
very large amount of money damages, and
it was raised by the voluntary contributions
of the people, indeed, so much did Glad
stone feel the indignity put upon Dr. New
man that he would have moved for a public
expression of regrot in parliament had not
the cardinal peremptorily opposed it.”
A Genuine Compliment.
From Kate Field's it ashing'.on.
In view of the unusual dissemination of
newspaiiers the mass of the public remain
in a startling condition or ignorance with
respect to the manner in which they are
prepared. I remember once, a number of
years ago, sitting in a railway car just be
hind two old Connecticut farmers who. to
pass the time on their journey, bought a
New York Tribune of the train boy. One
of them slowly put on his spectacles and
prepared to read the news aloud to his com
panion. It happened that the paper had
been folded wrong side out, so that the
advertisements were uppermost, and the
venerable man was soon regaling his
companion with a long dissertation on
the merits of Dr. Jabberway’s Cele
brated all-sufficient specific, which cured
everything from chronic rheumatism to
water blisters. He toiled patiently ou, pro
nouncing the Latin names after a system
exclusively his own, and devouring with
unconcealed wonder all the elaborate de
scriptions of the internal economy of
h imatikind, while his listening partner sat
with bent head and mouth agane, nodding
approval from time to time. When tho last
line of the advertisement was finished the
reader laid down the sheet and the eyes of
the two friends met. Both were, for a few
seconds t o deeply impressed to speak.
Then tho one who had bean silent all the
while tound voice enough to gasp:
“Wa’al, I vao v! That fellow Greeley
does know a heap, uaow, don’t he?”
The Chinese Compositor.
From the Hong Kong Telearaph.
About once a mouth we register a blood
curdling v w ou the accumulated files of
the Tele raph to the effect that the very
next time our compositorinl stuff exasper
ate us by their inconceivably idiotic stylo
of j polling wo will appeal to our readers by
publishing the paper with all its errors ou
its head. We don’t know that we shan’t do
it someday, but in the meantime we will
“make even,” to some extent, by repro
ducing, literatim, a portion of a familiar
recitation as “jet up” the other day by
a natural idiot with a queue aud a com
posing stick. The public will see wbat
we have to put up with in the
following: “The Burial of Sir John
Moor.—Not a drum was heard, not a fun
eral note as his corse to the ramparts. He
hirmed not a soldier discharged his farewell
shot o’er the gram when our hero wo
buried. We buried him doubly at dead of
night. The soda with our bayonets turning.
By tbuggling moonbeams party light ana
the lantern dimly burning. No melen
coffin enclosed his breast not in shut nor in
sborsed we would him. But he lay like a
warrior taking his not. With his martial
clock around him. Few and short were the
papers aud we spoke not a word of sorrow.
But we steadfastly galed on the fall that
was dead and we bitterly thought of the
morrer.”

immense amount of good. It gave me an

The following Is published for the information
of the public.
By order of the Committee on Water.
Department of the Interior, )
United States Geological Survey, V
Division of Chemistry. \
Report of Analysis No. 1.215.
Material received from Mr. James Manning,
Savannah, Ga; water from water works.
The water contains in 100,600 parts, by weight:
17.42 parts by weight residue on evaporation,
dried at (180°).
0.56 parts by weight chlorine.
0.60 parts by weight sulphuric acid (803).
0.0026 parts by weight free ammonia.
0.0041 parts by weight albuminoid ammonia.
0.88 parts by wei.ht nitrio acid (N205).
The residue on evaporation contains 41 per
cent, silicic acid (8102), hardly any organic
matter, ar.d effervesces with acids, showing the
presence of carbonates. As far as the chemical
composition of this water is concerned it can
be considered to be a very good one for dr.nking
purposes. A microscopic bacteriological inves
tigation, which is always desirable, does not
form a part of our work.
