BHERMAN’s IN NEED OF
FUNDS—THE PLEUROPNEU-
MONIA BILL.
Washington, Februaiy 27.—1 n the
senate the public buildings commit
tee reported favorably Mr. Brown’s
bill authorizing thn erection of a pub
lic building at Augusto, Ga.. a a
cost not exceeding $200,000 for rhe
building and site thereof.
The bill introduced by Mr. Morgan
for the appropriation of money for
the improvetneut of the bay and har
bor of Mobile, Ala., provides that
SIOO,OOO be made immediately availa
ble tor continuing the snip channel
in the Bay of Mobile.
Mr.Vm W\ck offered the following
resolution, for which be Hiked imme
diate cousideradon: ‘li -o ved, I’l at
the committee on postoffiees and
postroads be directed to inqu re
whether at any time the Western
Union and the Baltimore and Ohio
telegraph compani s, < r auyofflntrs
or employes of said companies, have
entered into a contractor negotiation
for the purpose of consolidating said
companies or making a. combination
for any purpose.”
Mr. Van Wyek explained that some
days ago Le had offered a resolution
conilning tb>- time id the negotiation
referred to within one year The evi
dence of Dr. Norviu Ure n, yester
day. before the commi tee of pos
offices and postroid-, in i, he Baid,
clearly eetablis kJ the L.i that a
contract was mad ■ an i • xecuted two (
years ago, but that tue eider Garrett
had defeated tb- operati >ns of th • ]
contract. W desired to know why
After debate by Me -r-. Bayard,
Garland, Piatt, lugol.s and Hiil, Mr.
Van Wyck’s resolution was without ,
objection of that gentleman refi rred
to the committee on postiffices and
poet roads.
Mr. Buerman, from the sub com
mittee on privilege and elections,
submitted a report to the effect that '
that committee were un .bie to con
tinue its work, beciuse there was no
money with which to pay witnesses.
Tne j lint resolution appropriating
mon-y for tbe committee had, Mr .
Sherman reported, been sent bv the
senate on the 21st of February to the
house of representatives, and had
not yet been acted upon by that
body. The secretary of the senate
had refused to pay tbe vouchers for
the expenses ot a number of witnesses
on the ground that there was no
money available for the purpose.
The committee had therefore de
clin'd tu summon lurther witnesses,
and woui 1 suspend work until fumle
were provided, when they would
continue add speedily complete tbe
inves igation.
The house bill repealing the test
oath was taken up and passed, after
being modified by an amendment
proposed by the senate judiciary
committee providing that no person
who held a commission in the
United States army or navy before
the war and was afterward engaged
iu th • military, naval or civil service
of tne so called confederate states
shall be appointed to auy position in
the army or navy of the United
States.
Consideration of the bill to provide
for the construction of new, steel
cruisers for the navy was resumed,
and Mr. Jones, of Florida, addressed
tbe senate. While agreeing with
much that had been said by tbe op
pouen s ot lhe bill with respect to
the extravagance and bad manage
ment in the past conduct of the gov
ernment so far as the navy was coo
earned, he could not, he said, agree
with them in their opposition to the
bill before the senate.
The debate lasted until 4 o’clock
and was participated in by Messrs.
Jones, ot Fiorida. McPherson, Hale,
Cockrell, Vast, Butler, Beck, Morgan
and Sewell. The principal advocates
ot the bill were Jem s, Butler, and
Hal“, and the opponents Vest and
McPherson. The discussion ran in a
great measure to a sharp personal
colloquy, and as between Butler and
Vest verged closely upon a quarrel.
Sewell and Morgan presented each an
amendment to the pending bill. Sew
ell’s amendment provides that the
Vi sects authorized by the act shall be
constructed at one or mere ot the
most suitable navy yards of the gov
ernment under the supervision of
the proper officers of the navy, pro
vided that tbe secretary of the navy
may be authorized by the president j
to procure machinery from par- 1
ties engaged in constructing naval
machinery at the lowest responsible i
bid, to be accepted after three
months advertisement in tne papers
of New Yoik. Philadelphia, B >ston
and San Francisco, payment to be
made as tbe work progresses, but at
no time shall it amount to more than
a / j * fl
25 per cent, of the value of the work
and material. Mr. Morgan’s amend
ment provides that no vessel of the
Unite! States shall hereafter be
broken up or sold, repairs or build
ing of which would cost less than 30
per cent, of tbe appraised value. Ad
journed.
IN THE HOUSE,
Iu the house, Mr. Morrison, of
Illinois, chairman of the committee
| m ways and means, reported a reso
i iution directing the secretary of the
- reasury to inform the ihouse bow
much money is now in the treasury,
under w at several provisions of law
it is there retained, and how much in
view of the current receipts, expendi
tures and legal liabilities ot tbe
treasury can be applied at this time
in the liquidation of that part of the
public debt now payable without em
barrassing bis department. Adopted.
Mr. Phelps, of N w Jersey, from
tne committee on f reign affaire, re
poi ted back the Brumm resolution
Hr cting that committee to ir quire
as to whether the minister of any
foreign power has endeavored to nul
lify the effect of a unanimous resolu
tlon of the*ouse by tbe reflection on
the honor and integrity of its mem
bere. The resolution was accompa
nied by a report, stating that tbe
committee has made an investigation
but has been unable to obtain any in
formation on the subject, and asks to
be excused from further considera
tlon of the resolution. The report
wts agre -d to without discussion, and
the committee discharged from fur
ther c m i teration of the subject.
Mr. L’fevre, Ohio, offered a reso
lu’lon reciting that speculation and
gambling iu American farm products
.have ob'ained control efthe market
value of these products, and direct
ing the committee on judiciary to
prepare a bill prohibiting the pur
chase or Bale of wheat. corn, cotton,
provisions, or other articles of prime
necessity, unless an actual transfer
of articles or warehouse receipt ac
companies such action; also a bill
authorizing such government inter
ference as will give stability to the
price of these commodities.
The house again went Into com
mittee of the whole, and took up the
pieuro-pneumooia bid. Two amend
ments to the fourth section were
'dopted, which Mr. Hatch, ot
jiissouri, said would utterly destroy
he < fficieney Os the bill. He, there
fore, moved to striae out tbe fourth
seco ion which authorizes the presi
dent to quarantine the states in which
contagious diseases exist, when such
mates f >il to make such provisions
for its extirpation, or to co-operate
with the plans of the commissioner
ot agriculture.
Mr. Tuockmorton, of Texas, moved

tbe bill. Lost —114 y> as, 118 nays.
The deba'euli day was rather dreary,
and was .onfiued principally to num
erous a’tacks upon the bill by Mr.
Weller, of lowa, and replies made
thereto by Messrs. Anderson and
Struble, of lowa. Mr. (look, of lowa,
informed bis democratic friends that
the s ntim nt iu favor of their party
was r pidiy spreading iu the great
northwest, but that it would be de
stroyed if they, by their votes, de
feated the passage ■ f the bill. Tbe
consideration of the bill being con
cluded, the committee rose and re
ported it to the house. Tne first
question was on the amendm-ut
striking out the 4 h section. Fend

a j iut democratic caucus was an

Ducks and Gulls Fighting for Fish.
Portland Oiegonian, fit. 16.
Since tne col l spell set in, the river
in front of the city has been frequent
ed by large numbers of “fish ducks,”
attracted probably by the fact that
the river is kept open, tbe fishing is
good and they are not molested by
hunters. Yesterday forenoon a large
number ot them were busy fishing
in the river off the Ash street dock.
Their motions could be plainly seen
through a glass. Down would go a
duck here and another there, and af
ter what seemed a long time to the
watcher up they came, and in nearly
every instance each with a fish in his
bill. A crowd of hungry gulls who
could not dive were on the watch,
and the moment a duck came to the
surface three or four gulls would
pounce down upon him and strive to
tear the fish from him. They suc
ceeded io many instances, but in
most cases the duck, while being
chased, managed to flip the fl h
down his throat. When a gull did
get u fish from a duck ali the other
gulls went to him, and sometimes
; several gulls would have hold of a
fish at once. It was lots of fun fur
i the guile, but very trying to the fish,
and must have been extremely exas
: perating to the ducks.

COUNTRY TRADE.
CONDITION NOT A3 FAVORABLE AS OjULD
BE WISHED.
One of tbe leading drummers of the
city, and one whose trade is as ex
tensive and whose means of observa
tion are equal to anyone traveling
through this section, in conversation
withaj Timesreporier yesterday, gave
him some iufoimatiou regarding the
condition of the c.uutry trade. He
erates that tbe winter has been tbe
most severe on country merchants
ever known in this section. Tse
country roads have b am in eueh ter
rible condition that tor weeks trade
has been at a standstill, in some lo
calities, the roans being absolutely
itnptssable. In consequence of this
s >ies have seen light, and many of
the merchants now find themselves
greatly overstocked with their notes
at maturity and hence small failures
nave been frequent and a constant
request for extension is being made.
The weather, however, in the past
f. w days has become more favorable
and a decided improvement in trade
is already beginning to manifest
itself. Our informant states that he
expects a very active spring trade
and a much healthier condition of
affairs if the weather continues fa
vorable.— Chattanooga Times.
A RACE OF 1,000 MILES.
AN EXCITING RACE BETWEEN TWO TRAINS
FROM CINCINNATI TO NEW ORLEANS.
When it was announce 1 a few
weeks ago that the Queen & Orescent
and Louisville & Nashville railroads
would run special Mardi Gras trains
from Cincinnati to New Orleans on
the same day, railroad men straight
way anticipated a lively race, and the
a. quel shows that they were not dis
appointed. The distance to New
O'leans by the Queen & Orescent is
820 miles and by ttie Louisville &
Nashville is 928 miles. The two trains
left almost at the same hour. Nei
ther was to stop except at large
towns and mail stations and each
put tb»ir very best team in. The
Queen & Orescent train was unfortu
nately delayed several hours by the
wrecked trestle on the Alabama
Great Southern, and the Louisville
& Nashville steamed into New Or
leans three hours ahead. The race
was freely commented on in railroad
circles yesterday. The Louisville &
Nashville train made the run of 928
miles in 28 hours and 20 minutes,
with all stoppages.

THE GERMAN EMPIRE.
SOME POINTS CONCERNING THE CONSTITU
TIONAL POWERS OF THE CHANCELLOR.
The Philadelphia Tima.
It would occupy too much of your
valuable space to throw full light
upon the Ochiltree-L isker-Bismarck
imbroglio, but it is easy to satisfy
every rational thinker upon one
point—tne refusal of Prince Bis
niarck to lay the Lasker resolution
before the emperor. People are so
accustomed tu look at Prince Bis
marck as an arbitrary man that it
will astonish your readers now Prince
Bismarck nad a legal right to with
hold the Lasker resolution from the
emperor, whilst the secretary of state
of the United States of America
would not have tne same right as
regards the president, no matter
what the circumstances might be.
The cabinet of the president of th
United States of America is not to be
found in the coustituioon, each de
partment only in d fforent acis of
congress creating a seer t ary
whilst tbe chancellor ui tne
German Empire (is mentioned
in tha constitution of the German
Empire. Tne title oi ’William 1.,
King ot Prussia, is “German Empe
ror,” not “Emperor of Gemany,”
signifying at absence of lull sover
eignty over Germany. The German
Empire is a confederacy strong
er than that, of the United States,
which was abolished September 17.
1787, but. considerably weaker t han

Willuml. io the c institutional ex
ecutive in Prussia, wi b some inher
ent traditional royal power, but nut
eo in Germany. William is in
Germany only a part of the execu
tive, though endowed with hereditary
transmission. The “Chancellor of
the Germa.*. Empire” is mentioned in
the constitution ot the German Em
pire. It is true that the German
Emperor has a rigut to appoint
another chancellor, but the person
occupying tnat post his powers
which cannot betaken away by auy
ordinance or iaw. Final.y, let it not
be forgotten tnat the German Em
pire, as now constituted, is a modern
political creation, not alone as to the
time when it was created, out also as
to its constitutional features.

GREAT BRtTaIN.
THE “times” ON THE RECENT EXPLO
SION.
London, February 27 —Tbe Times,
referring to the txpirsion at the
Victoria railroad station, says: It is
clear that we have to do with one of
those cowardly outrages whartby
Irishmen imagine that they are
furthering tbe cause of Irish inde
pendence. We rave iu out midst a
set ot cowardly desperadoes who are
not asharn-d to abuse their freedom
oy recklessat tacks upon life and prop
erty. The leaders of the land league
will do wed to exert tneir influence
with the dynamiters to repress out
rages. since the British, however,
long suffering, will not indefinitely
permit tbe murder of innocent per
sons, but may supplement tbe im
perfection of legal machinery with
exceedingly unpleasant reprisals
upon Irishmen wuosu presence they
now tolerate.”
The News says there is no reason
to tear that the da-turds have power
or opportunity to inflict serious injury
upon the nation. Their real object
is to keep up a state of irritation and
alarm which is profitable to them
selves and tht ir friends.
The Standard says: “The Fenian
warfare at 1 o’clock in tne morning
upon traveling bags and portman
teaus, to rhe alarm of half a dozen
railway officials, may have awkward
results for the perpetrators, but it
will c rtaiulv have no effect upon the

Beer as an article of diet has been
discontinued in at least 27 pauper
lunatic asylums in England, with the
result that in no instance has the ap
patently important change led to
any sort of physiological inconveni
ence. Many of ihe superintendents,
iu whose asylums the modification
was made, and through them many
ot the prtien*B tesiify cordially to
the benefits derived from tbe change.
Thequ stion, snys tbe Journal of
Menial Science, is not one of teetotal
ism, or even a primarily orafinancial
order, but one of pure expediency ;
and good management. In all prob
ability the disuse of beer as an ele
ment of the diet of pauper lunatics iu

ded and will be watched with interest.

Confederate Bonds.
Copies of a pamphlet entitled,
"The Confederate Debt and Privare
Buuthera Debts, by J. Barr Robert
son, London, February 1, 1884,” have
been received by members of con
gress. i’tie writer’s conclusions are
given in his introduction. He says:
"I have no pretentious whatever to
baa lawyer, and therefore the follow
ing observations must be regarded as
simply ttioee of a financier and man
of business. The conclusions arrived
at in tbe following pages are: That
he Confederate States bad only bel
ligerent and not international rights;
that the confederacy, being an
illegal corporation according to
tbe United States law, could
not issue bonds which would be
valid against either the United
States or state governments of the
south; that therefore neither cotton
bonds nor dollar bonds have any
validity whatever, as a confederate
debt io the absence ot the oonfedera
ey; tnat there is nothing in the
pinion and the casts adduced in
support of the bonds which really
conflicts with this view of their ille
gality in the United States; that the
equities arising out of the original
controversy between tbe north
and south, not being cognizable by
any court, are reseived as subject
matter for consideration by the
United States, and are, therefore,
outside the scope of the present dis
cussion; and that there is in
the dollar bonds an omitted in
ternational claim against the
United States for tbe payment of pri
vate debts owed by southern citizens
to Europeans at the beginning of the
war, ana wtiicb are now represented
by the dollar bonds that were sent to
them as the only means of remit
tance from the southern states, and
tha’ these debts and claims of south
ern citiz ns not engaged in the war,
and of Europeans for property taken
by force, and for which Confederate
bonds were compulsotily tendered,
are nut in any way affected by the
fourteenth amendment, and, there
fore, ought to be paid by the United
States.”

A Substitute for Matches.
Chicago Tribune.
Countless accidents, as everyone
knows, arise from the use ot matches.
To obtain light without employing
them, and so without the danger of
setting things on tire, an ingenious
contrivance is now used by the watch
men ot Paris in all magazines where
xpio ive or inflammable materials
are kept. Anyone may easily make
trial of it. Take an oblong vial of
tie whitest and clearest glass, and
put into it a piece of pc .sphorus
about the elz ■ ot a pea. Pour some
olive oil heated to the boiling point
upon the phosphorus; fill the vial
bout one-third full, and tbencorkit
tighuy To use this nuvtl light, re
move the cork, allow the air to euter
the vial, and then recork it. The
empty space in the vial will be
come luminous, and the fight obtain
ed will be equal to that of a lamp.
When the light grows dim, i : s power
can be increased by taking out the
cork and allowing a fresh supply ot
air to enter the vial. In winter it is
sometimes nee saary to heat tne vial
between tue bauds in order to in
crease ihe fluidity of the oil. The
apparatus thus made may be used
for six months.
