2 BLACK URNS HOIORIST. One of the Agricultural Bulletins Ridiculed. Bowers, of California. Replies That the Bulletin is of Interest to His Section Union Moves to Abolish the Coast and Geodetic Survey Bureau and Transfer Its Duties. Washington. March 15. Up tolho hour of U! 50 ®Y!. eh the time of the House wa* spent in endeavors to secure the consul eration of bills b.v unanimous consent. Only one bill got through and that was local to Oklahoma. After several com mittee reports had been made the House took up the sundry civil appropriation bill, in committee of the whole, with Mr Lester, dem., of Georgia, in the chair. Under the section •■department of jus tice" an amendment was ottered by Mr. Sayers, dem .of Texas, and agreed to, providing that the law of Feb. 8, 1594, re pealing the federal election laws, should not be construed to prevent the payment of any claims for services under those laws, legally performed prior to Feb 8, 1894. and continuing appropriations pre viously made for that purpose. BI.ACK RIDICULES A BULLETIN. Mr. Black, dem.. of Georgia, read from an agricultural bulletin to show the tech nical character of the language used, and created considerable amusement by re peating some of the terms and subsequently explaining their meaning in plain Kug lish During the course of the reading the members left their seats and gathered about the speaker in arena of the cham ber. Members interrupted the reading with Jocular remarks from time to time, and Mr. Sickles, at one point, suggested that a dictionary be furnished to the repre sentatives in order that the language of the bulletin might be made more ineligi ble. He explained, in conclusion, that he had read these extracts to show the flagrant and iuexcusable misuse of the people’s money. Mr. Bowers, rep., of California, an swered Mr. Black. He said the publica tions of the agricultural department, and especially the one criticised, had been of vast benefit to the people of his state and district. The country was of vast proportions, and publications that might be of little interest or value to one section might be to others. That was the case in this instance. THE COAST SI’RVET. The committee recurred to the section of the bill making appropriations Lirthe coast and geodetic survey, and Mr. Enloe ofiered his amendment abolishing the bureau amt transferring its duties to the navy and interior departments. Mr. Sayers made the point of order agrinst the amendment that it changed an existing law. Mr. Outhwaite said that the transfer of the duties of other departments aid not provide for any reduction of expense, the work would still have to be done. The jioint was further argued by Messrs. Cannon, rep., of Illinois, Hooker, dem.. of Mississippi. Dingley, rer>., of Maine, and Outhwaite, dear., of Ohio, in supjiort thereof: and by Mr. Enloe in op position. MiYffinloe amended his amendment by providing further that every officer and employe of the survey shall be discontin ued with the survey itself. RULED OUT OF ORDER. The chair ruled that the amendment was obnoxious to the point of order, in that that portion of it which pro posed to change the existing law, by the transfer of the work of the survey, did not on its face reduce expenses, and was therefore out of order Mr. Enloe appealed from the decision of the chair, but the ruling of the chair was sustained as the judgment of the committee without a division. Mr. Enloe moved then to amend by. re during the appropriation for the survey of the Atlantic coast by instructing the Dockery commission tor investigate the work of the survey and. if it found it could be done more efficiently and more economically in the navy and' interior de departments, it may report by bill or otherwise. A point of order against this amend ment was overruled. and Mr. Enloe ad dressed the committee in favor of the amendment, going into the subject gen erally. His argument for the abolition of the survey was that the work for which it was originally instituted in 1807 ha I been practically completed, and that not only that work but the latter addition, the geodetic survey, could be better and more cheaply done by the navy and inte rior departments. . At 4 :H5 o’clock the committee rose and the House adjourned until 12 o'clock to morrow. NO MATCH FOR THE WOMEN. A Man Fleeced by an Adventuress > Now Worsted by His Wife. „ Atlanta, Ga ..

His Speech Largely a Plea for Sub scribers to His Paper. Jesup. Ga . March 15. Hon. C. H. El lington, president of the state farmers' alliance, addressed a small crowd at the court house here to-day'. The reason of the small attendance is attributed to the alliance men in this county taking Tom Watson’s third party paper instead of the alliance organ, which contains notices of Mr, Ellington’s ap pointments. His speeh was non-partisan and solely in the interests of the order of which he is president. He urged the far mers to maintain the organization regard less of polities, and said that he wanted every farmer to become a member whether he voted the populist, republican or democratic ticket. If the populists had every office in the gift of the people from President to consta ble the farmers could not get that relief they were demanding without the alli ance. He advised the members to sub scribe for the alliance paper and keep in formed on what the organization was do ing. He added that he put his notices in that paper and not in Tom Watson's. However, he was a subscriber to Tom Watson’s paper. He concluded by saying that he could live by the principles of the alliance, and would die by them, and asked those of the audience that would do likewise to rise. Ten stood up.
