Repreosntative Enloe's As;ai3inc"t
for an Investigation Lost—Keprc
eontativo Wilson of Washington
Charges Discrimination Against tho
Kcrthwost in the Kivor and Harbor
Appropriations.
Washington, March 16—After unim
portant routine i ro-eodinrs at the open
ing of the day's session, the Hoc c went
into committee of the whole, with Mr.
Lester, dern., of Georgia, in the chair, on
the sundry civil appropriation bit!, the
pending question was on Mr. Enlo; s
arrendment direct: _ig the Do. ker.v com
mission to investigate the coast and geo
detic survey, with n view to deteri: ining
whether or not its work cannot be more
effectively and economically performed by
the navy and interior de; artments.
The work of the survey ar.d the admin
istration of Supt. Mendenhall, fo.trd
warm defenders in Messrs. Cuthwaite,
Mahon, rep., of Pennsylvania: Covert,
ciem., of New York; tickles and Hooker,
dem., of Mississippi.
Mr. Sukles rclaied an in teres' mg inci

geographical convention ia Haris several

Etnendxca- was lost.
S-üb.oe.;-: ally tho general subject was
/ rthcr discussed b.v Mr. Cummings,
oem.. of New- York, and Mr. Enloe. The
fjrmer said the work of the survey should
l>e transferred to the navy department,
for the reason that the same class of work
was performed in the navy department
while naval ohirers are detailed to the
survey.
Mr. Enloe said, in taking farewell on
the subjeet lor the present, that he began
the fight against the survey two years
ago. and that as long as he was honored
with a seat in the House and the survey
was conducted as it is now. he should re
new the light at every opportunity until
it was either reformed or abolished.
Mr. Hopkins, rep., of Illinois, moved to
strike out the provisions ol the bill
direeting the Secretary of the Navy to re
organize the office force of the survey and
reduce the number of employes or their
salaries, dr both, so as to ormg their
compensation within iI3S,C(K) a year, a re
duction of SIS.OOO from the appropriation
carried in the bill. He said that it was a
cowardly subterfuge on the part of this
democratic House to bring about what
they had declined to do on Mr. Enloe’s
amendment to abolish the survey.
THE ctvil, SEKYICB UV.
The discussion drifted from the bill it
self to tnc relation of the survey to the
civil service law. Mr. Dingley said the
reorganization proposed by the committee
might lead to serious consequences as af
fecting the civil service law. and asked
the chairman whether or not that mat
ter had been considered.
Mr. Sayres said his intention and that
of the members or tho commilths, so far
as he knew, was simply to reduce expen
ditures. and he was willing that aay pro
vision'Mr. Dingley deemed sufficient to
prevent any infraction of the civil service
law in making the changos proposed
might be inserted.
The following amendment was pro
posed by Mr. Dingley • "Provided, that
nothing herein shall bo construed to af
fect the civil service rules in so far as
now applicable to the coast and geodetic
surveys."
This was agreed to without a division,
but on Mr. Hopkins motion to strike out.
the vote was- Ayes 51; nays 95.
Air. Reed raised the point of no quorum
and tellers were ordered. These devel
oped no quorum and further action on the
motion was postponed until to-morrow by
consent.
Later, after consultation, it was agreed
that the amendment which Mr. Hopkins
had moved to strike out should be made
to read so that the Secretary of the Navy
•hall reduce the number of employes of
the oftice force of the survey, or the rate
of compensation, so as to bring the ex
penditures therefor down to the sum of
f125,000, thus putting a limit to the reduc
tion and abandoning the iuea of reorgan
izing the forces. As thus amended, it was
satisfactory to Mr. Hopkins, and he with
drew his motion and the survey was
finally passed.
MR. Wll, SON MIKES A KICK.
Apropos to an litem concerning the
Missouri river commission. Mr. Wilsou,
rep., of Washington, spoke against the
discrimination exercised against the
great section of the country he repre
sented iu this bill and in the river and
harbor bill yet to bo reported. He said
he could get for the improvements in
northwest only from 5 to 8 per cent, of
the engineers' estimates, while for the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers, the whole
of the estimates were appropriated. In
one ease, where an appropriation was
made no estimate had been submitted to
the committee and they sent to got one
so that the appropriation might appear
regular. ‘-If the committee cin aTord lo
give me and m.v associates only 5 to 8 per
cent of the estimates they can afford to
give you [addressing the southern demo
crats j only sto 8 per cent. ’' He was unable,
he continued, to get even a democrat ap
pointed in an Indian agency in his state,
who lived there. But that office and
others in the Indian service have been filled
by appointees from Texas, Mississippi,
Tennessee, Georgia and other southern
states. "I'm afraid,” he continued, “that
Georgia will be depopulated before the
term of the present honorable Secretary
of the Interior shall expire "
_ln conclusion he said the representa
tives of his section now were weak,
hut he believed that the tunc was coming
when they would be powerful and numer
ous enough to demand and secure their
rights. "When that day docs come,” he
said, "we shall not wreak our vengeance
upon jon or your section of the country,
nor treat you with that injustice which is
now meted out to us.”
Mr. Catcliings, chairman of the com
mittee on rivers and harbors, in reply to
Mr. Wilson, made an extended statement
of the work done b.v the Alississippi and
Missouri river commissions and defended
the policy of continuing their contracts,
inaugurated in isjc, under which the ap
propriations for twelve large improve
ments are now being made.
At 4:55 o'clock the committee rose and
the House took a recess until Bo'clock,
the night session to bo for the considera
tion of private pension bills.
A TII.T OVER A SOLDIER.
At the night session about sixty mem
ners were present. The only incident of
note T*
tween Messrs. McKeigan, pop., of Ne
braska. and Tolbert, dem.. of .South Car
olina. A hill was under consrieration to
relieve W. H. Cohen from the charge
of desertion. which the commit
j tee on military affairs reported
I bad hern uu ustlv placed on the
record against him. Mr. Talbert
n oved to lav it aside with an unfavora
ble report, whereupon Mr MciCeigan. for
himse.f and in the name of his comrades,
protested against tec manifestation of a
spirit tl-a: would refuse to do ,us.ice to a
gallant but unfortunate soldier.
Mr. Talbert retorted vigorously, assert
ing that ue had no objection to \ot.n t
pensions to any brave, honest soldier who
fought against him. but ho* intended to
prevent, as far as it was possible for him
j to do so. lo aid in any way men who were
! ueserters.
! Apparently, considerable feeling was
cut-eudered ny tho remarks of the two
\ gintlemen, l ut tho incident passed o f
‘ with little excitement, and upon further
elucidation of the matter Mr. Talbert
withdrew his motion.
After passing favorably upon seven
bills, the committee at iUi’.O o'clock rose,
and ihe House ad.ouracd until lb o’clock
to-morrow.
JA.ILI.ID FOR A DOUBLE CP. I AID.
A Whits Alan Charged With Robb’ry
and felonious Assault.
Abbeville, fla.. Alarch 16.—Daniel Spi
vey, a young white man, was lodged in
Vfilcox county jail Wednesday, charged
with robbery and assault. It is charged
that Spivey visited an isolated farm in
the country last Tuesday, two mile s from
Hochclle, occupied by a thrifty and pros
perous n gro and his wife, while the hus
band was absent, and represented himself
to be a United States deputy marshal
from Macon, and claimed to have a war
rant for tho negro and his wife.
He produced a pair of hand cuffs, and
demanded money. The woman i rodu.ed
sls, all the money in her possession.
After securin'- th - money, Spivcv made a
proposition. He said, it is alleged, that If
granted be would return to Alacou aud
report no such parties to lie found. The
woman a: first refused the proposition,
but th rough fear finally accepted. Spivey
then mounted bu borsa and went lo
Rochelle, where ho swapped horses with
a young man, paying h.:u Cld difference
in the trade.
f oon ntter leaving the house the hus
band of tho woman returned, and being
informed of what had happenfd, pro
cocied to Rochelle, secured a warrant
and effected an arrest.
The alleged culprit waived a prelimi
nary trial, and will remain in jail to
await the action of the grand jury.
Tho money paid to the young man in
the horse trade was recovered and his
horse returned to him. There was con
siderable indignation and excitement
manifested by tho citizens of Rochelle,
and Spivey was closely guarded Tuesday
night to prevent a lynching. The prisoner
has a young wife and two children, and
denies the charges against him.

Satilla river swamp after mafln'g his
escape from jail. He had literally torn
his clothes from his body. Yesterday
ovenibg he went to the farm house, ran
in the house and crawled under
the bod. The farmer's wife was shocked
at tho disgraceful appearance of the man
and she called her husband. The farmer
got his shotgun and forced the negro out
of his houso. He was preparing to chas
tise the negro for entering his house when
Sheriff Miller came up. The negro was
given a suit of clothes and taken back to

Election.
Populist Taliykeepers at Every Poll
Duriny tho Election—One of tho
Taliykccpcro at Charleston Claims
to Have Discovered a Discrepancy
of Sixty Votes at a Single Precinct.
Charleston. March 10.—Dr. J. William
Stokes, tho populist who was beaten for
congress from this district by Judge ,T. F.
1 l::r. at the election on Monday last, is in
the city with John Gary Evans, the can
didate for governor, nosing around with a
view of getting up a contest for Judge
Islar s seat.
It wav not generally known, but thors
were tallykeupers at each of tho polls
during the day in tho interest of Dr.
Stokes, who noted down each voter and
tho tot il number who voted.
\V. 11. Echiffiey, tally keeper at the
fourth ward poll, said that there is a dis
crepancy of CO votes between bis tally and
the number of votes in the box as received
b.v the commissioners.
Mr. SthifHey was seen and asked what
were the facts of the irregularities at
precinct ", wal'd 110 said he was under
a pledge of secrecy for the present con
cerning the incidents of the election at
that poll, but that they were sufficient in
his opinion to throw out tho box. lie
said that iu addition to the poll list being
absent from it. that the box was also not
sealed as required by law.
These reports, and the appearance of
John ( ary Evans iu this city yesterday,
and certain consultations which were
held by him v.-it'.i \V. Gibbca Whaley dur
ing the dav, gave rise to rumors of a con
test brewing, it seems to he certain that
this incident and its bearing on the elec
i ion was the subject of their consultation,
but what conclusions or purpose they
have arrived at has not been disclosed.
Dr. Stokes iurther said that he had not
yet admitted his defeat or "thrown up
the sponge,” as had been stated bv some
of the papers. He, in fact, thought there
was still room for doubt. He
has simply refused to say any
thing one way or the other to the
newspaper correspondents, as he did not
propose to acknowledge defeat until he
knew it to be a fact. The returns from
from Lexington as yet were very meager,
he said, amounting to those received from
four precincts, which gave him a maiority
of 177 votes. These precincts were along
the lines of railroads, where Judge Izlar
was strong.
Judge Izlar's majority in the district is
from 600 to 700 It is thought that a
scheme Is being hatched to induce the
hoard of state canvassers to throw out
enough Charleston votes to warrant them
in giving the certificate to Stokes.
