RIVERS AND HARBORS, Millions for Oregon, Thousands for Washington. HOUSE PASSES THE ARMY BILL. Speculation as to Lord Salisbury's Re ply ou Bering Sea Question. A Note Has Been Hecelred, but Its Contents Kept Secret —No More Startling Headline* in the "Itecord" —The l'uget Sound Customs District. ■WASHINGTON CITY, March 21. The House committee 011 rivers and harbors to day completed consideration of the regular river and harbor appropriation bill. It appropriates $L>0, 700.000, nearly $4/100.000 less than the amount of the bill which be came law at the last congress. The great est feature is the extent to which the com mittee enlarges the policy adopted in the last congress of placing some of the most important projects under the contract sys tem, by means of which work can "be undertaken with the amount appropriated for the year covered in the bill, and con tracts may be entered into for the com pletion of the work and for its contiuance without the serious interruptions which have s -motimes happened when the con tinuance of the work is entirely dependent on the river and harbor appropriations of each congress. This year the committee authorizes ad ditional contracts to be entered into, ag gregating $32,151,000, of which amount the M ssissit.pi river gets $16,000,000; the Great Lakes, $3 334 000; the Columbia river, in 0-"L*on, $1,700,000; the Hudson river, $-',140,000, arid the remainder to some At lantic coast cities. Of the Mississippi ap propriation, $700,000 is to be expended from the mouth of the Ohio river to the mouth ol the Missouri, and SBOO,OOO from the mouth of the Missouri to St. Paul. The remainder will go for the river south of the Ohio. In the Great Lakes project $4i)o,000 is appropriated for a ship channel, to be twenty-one feet deep and 300 feet w ide, in the shallows of the connecting waters between the Great Lakes. In the cases of several improvements put under the contract system, the bill provides that the secretary of war may enter into contracts to complete the pres ent project of improvements, to be paid for as appropriations may be made, the aggregate cost not to exceed the cost here tofore named as the limit of the cost for the completion of the improvement. For these projects there is directly appropri aied in the bill several amounts for the Columbia river, including one at the Cas cades for $4.T5,000. Among the appropria tions in the bill are the following: FOB HAKBB WOBK.

WASHINGTON- CITY, March 21.—1t is likely that a radical reform in the matter of the privilege afforded the members in extending their speeches in the Record will result from the investigation into the transgres-ions of Walker, of Massachu setts. Ever since the session opened there has been warm political rivalry be tween the Republican and Democratic representatives from the Bay state, and Walker has had several lively bouts with Hoar and Williams, whom he takes pleasure in designating alternately as "Mugwumps" and ••kinder garten" Democrats. His interjection into the printed report of his speech of some I: adlincs about "Hot Shot for Mug wumps," etc.. caused Mr. Williams to j ri<e to a question of personal privilege ! last week, ami the committee on printing ! today submitted a report on the mat ! ter, accompanied by a resolution declaring that the House expressed dis approval of the unparliamentary language used by Walker iu that portion of his speech printed, although not de livered on the tloor, and that the whole of the undelivered portion of his speech be expunged from the Rrrord. The report will lb' considered tomorrow. After the opening of the session today ; Knloe, of Tennessee, offered a resolution i calling on the secretary of the treasury for a list of persons employed in the coa3t and geodetic survey whose salaries hail been increased or decreased during 1830; also for a list of those dismissed or who < had been reinstate I during that year. Ktiloe sai I he had information from a dis j charged employe that the coast survey was in the hands of a ring. The resolution i was adopted. The House then went into committee of I the whole on the army appropriation bill. A long discussion took place during its cons iteration over a point of order raised ! by ('rain of Texas, against the proviso in the bill that hereafter no money appro priated for army transportation shall be used in payment for transportation on non-aided line' owned, controlled or op erated by the Vnion Pacific company, or by the Southern Pacific over the lines embraced in its Pacific system. The chair sustained ihe point, j on the ground that the proviso is made a permanent law. It was th >n amended to be made applicable only to the present bill. Tins was agreed to, ami the commit tee having risen, the bill was passed. The House then went into committee of I the whole on the free wool bill, and Good night of Kentucky assailed the protective | system in a speech of some length. >nodgraa-* of Tennessee consumed his time in opposing the bill donating so,of»V i.««)to the World's fair. The committee then arose and the House adjourned. Free Delivery in tht* Country. [WASHINGTON CITT, March 21. Special.] —The postmaster-general has received a letter from a business man of Minneapolis, in which he says, speaking of the extension of the free delivery into villages and farm ing districts: I want to know what success you hare had as f-ir as you ha ve gone in this. I am setting words of encouragement from all over the country, promises of aid, if I want it. I ony started a few circulars to feel my way, and the result is beyond expectations. It wiil win; it must. And the dreams of my boyhood, when 1 was §eat miles after the mail, burefooted, through the country roads in the big woods of Minnesota, may yet b» realized. LORD SALISBURY KEFfSES. nig Reply Is Vfry Brief, and British Warshlpi Gather at Esquimalt. SEW YORK, March 22.—A morning pa per is informed from Washington City that Lord Salisbury's reply is a naked re fusal to continue the mcxius vivendi and accompanied by no assurance, verbal or otherwise, that the British government will not concentrate her lieet in Bering sea. WASHINGTON CITT, March 21. —1t is im possible to obtain any official information concerning the note received from Lord Salisbury yesterday on the Bering sea question. One rumor that has many be lievers is that Lord Salisbury has answered the president's note insisting on tbe neces sity of a modus vivendi with a counter proposition that in case one is agreed upon the United States shall agree to indemnify Canadian vessel owners for losses incurred thereby. The United States has already rejected a proposition of this kind. Gen eral Foster, representing the state depart ment in this matter, had two interviews with the president on the subject today, and the impression is general that they considered the character of the reply to be made to Salisbury. It is pretty well es tabiished that the president is not dis posed to recede from the position already assumed in regard to the preservation of the seal herd, and will take steps to secure that end with or without co-operation of the British government. Another report in circulation tonight is to the effect that the communication was merely a short dispareh stating that a reply proper to Acting Secretary Whar ton's note of the Bth inst. is being prepared and nearly ready, and will be adverse to the request tor a modus vivendi. Accord ing to the same report the communication says, in effect, that the British government will not interfere with the policing of Bering sea by United States vessels pend ing the negotiations and settlement of the questions at issue by arbitration, though it may hereafter ask for damages in behalf of such Canadian sealers as may suffer by seizure or interference by American ves sels. It is said at the navy department that no orders have been issued looking to the dispatch of a naval tleet to Bering sea this season, and that no action of that kind will be taken until the policy of this gov ernment has been clearly defined, or until the department is informed that the reve nue vessels to be used in patrolling the sea are inadequate for the service. Notwith standing this semi-official statement, it is said that the department is preparing ves sels for service in the Northern Pacific ocean in the event that they will be needed. The Adams and the Ranger are now being fitted out at Mare Island, Cal. Both will enter into commission in a short time. Another vessel that will un doubtedly go to Bering sea this spring is the Mohican, now at Seat tle. Other vessels that can be utilized in case it should be deemed advis able to strengthen the tleet, are: The Bal timore, at San Francisco; the Charleston, at San I).ego, and the Boston and the Yorktown, en route for San Francisco. These, or a portion of them, with the revenue vessels Bear, Rush, Corwin and Aibatross, would constitute quite a formid able tleet. VICTORIA, B. C., Marih 21. —[Special.]— The captain of H. M. S. Daphne tells me today that the admiral has, during the pa«t two weeks changed his plans entirely and has altered the routes and dates of every snip in the Pacific squadron mater ially. It had been previously decided that the Dapne should go out of commission on April 1, but it is pretty certain now that this move wilr not be made. The Warspite, instead of taking a trip to Honolulu and staying * there some time, reached Santa Barbara today and is now en route to Esquimalt. The champion will not summer in Chilean waters, according to her programme when she left here. Instead of lying in Val paraiso she has other work to do, and is fast coming up the Pacific in the track of the Warspite. The powerful Melpomene is also, by latest orders, withdrawn from Chile, and is just now leaving Aca pulco for Victoria. So that by April 2 the flagship and the Champion will be here, and by ihe middle of the month the Melpomene also. The Nyuiphe and Gar net will then be the only warships flyioti the British llag on the Chilean coast. The postoffice authorities in London have received cable advices from Admiral Hotham to rescind ail past-made dates in favor of these latter ones sent them, and a telegram received from Santa Barbara yesterday to the senior officer command tig informed him that the new arrangements are as stated. There is reason to believe that when Admiral Hotham arrives here next week it will be found he is in possession of dis tinct instructions regarding any new phaze of the Bering sea question, and it is evident that the British government in tends. should occasion call for it, to have powerful material at hand to send to Bering sea. LONDON, March 21.—1n the house of commons, in reply to the question put to the government on the subject, James l.owther, parliamentary secretary for the foreign office, stated that a final under standing between Great Britain and the United States, with regard to the Bering sea question, had not yet been arrived at. He added that negotiations are still pro ceeding. The Collection District Hitpute, \V XSHINOTON CITY, March 21.—[Special.] —Senators Allen and Squire will l>e given a hearing on Thursday next in regard to the bill which proposes to cut off part of the Puget sound collection district and add it to the Oregon district.

City Marshal of Oakesdale Kills Alexander Young. FATAL ACCIDENT AT SPOKANE. The Corpse of a Snicide, Pistol Close by, Found Near Dayton. I. Joseph's Swindling Operations In Snohomish County—Cceur d'Alene Miners to Resist Waye Reduction— Tacoma Express Officers Arrested. OAKESDALE. March 2t.— [Special.]—Early yesterday morning a row occurred in this city which promises to terminate fatally for one of the parties. Trouble arose in McClure's saloon between "Skook" Lloyd and Alva Stout, two well known charac ters, which terminated in Lloyd's shoot ing at Stout. The city marshal arrested Lloyd, but just as he was being put in jail, Alexander Young, who hau followed from the saloon, opened fire on the marshal with two revolvers. A general fusillade ensued, re sulting in Young's being shot three times, twice in the breast and once in the arm. Young then tried to run, but fell on the railroad track, where he was found iater. Young died this afternoon. In or der to prevent an attempt on the part of friends to release Lloyd he was taken in the afternoon to the county jail at Colfax. A BULLETIIOLE IN THE FOREHEAD. m The Corpse of a Suicide Found on the Touchet, Near Dayton. DAYTON, March 21. —[Special.]— While stock hunting this afternoon, Carl Bishop and Benny Whiting, 11-year-old youths, found the remains of a man two iniles from Dayton, on the Touchet. Coroner Van ratten and Sheriff Thronson were notified and went to the scene at once. The body was found resting on the right side, the left arm across the breast, the right arm upright with the hand bent over. A 44-calibre revolver with two chambers empty was found on the ground, as if he had dropped it from the right hand. A hole in the forehead told the cause of death. Numerous letters found on the dead man indicate that his name was Nick Tram pert, of Luxemburg, Germany. The let ters found were addressed to him at No. 30 Madison street, Port land, Or., and were from I'eter Trampert, Eden Valley, Minn. A silver watch and chain, two note books, a buckskin purse and a red silk handker chief were also found. The notebooks contained the address of F. D. Merredith, Portland, Or., and nothing else. Inside the watch case were tintypes, presumably likenesses of Nick, which are mentioned in one of the German letters written by Peter Trampert. The purse contained only 5 cents. Traujipert was well dressed, wearing an astraean coat and vest, new pants, shoes and underclothes. He was last seen in Dayton nearly a month ago, when he pre tended to be buying cattle for Spaulcling & Co., of Portland. All the letters found are written in German and are from Lux emburg to Peter Trampert, who remailed them to Nick at Portland. One letter sends greetings to bis bride, but there is no other evidence of his having been mar ried. The coroner's jury returned a ver dict of suicide. Sheriff Thronson tele graphed to th« friends of deceased and is awaiting their disposition of the body. Trampert was about 35 years of age. Although the jury returned a verdict of suicide today there is likely to be a further investigation in the case tomorrow. Since the remains have been brought to the city it has been discovered that the hole in the forehead of the dead man is the best indi cation that he wus shot from behind. BI'NKOBD BY JOSEPH. Ilow a Slippery Newspaper Attache Did Up Snohomish County People. SNOHOMISH, March 21.— [Special.]—I. Joseph, the story of whose operations at Pe-Ell are detailed in to-day's I'OST- IsTr.IXIAEXCER, is well known here, having become connected with the Sun soon after F. S. Mussetter took charge of it, about a year ago. He lost his ponition last Janu ary when the management discovered that he was spending about S2O a week on a $lO salary. Subsequent investigation devel oped the fact that he had for a long time been engaged in a systematic pilfering. These facts were not made public by the newspaper man agement, however, and ho soon afterward negotiated with certain parties who were interested in real estate and mining prop erty at Granite Falls, a point north of this ritv, near the line of the Seattle, I.ake Shore Eastern railway, with a view to establishing a newspaper there. The vent ure fell through and Joseph left the country, but he is remembered by some of the real estate and min ing speculators of Granite Falls who hold his verbal "promise to pay" in amounts which will aggregate probably SIOO. It can not be learned from the Snn company as to the amount of his pecula tions there. When he first came he cut a wide swath among the newspaper fraternity on the strength of his false statement that he had been proof-reader on the S:in Francisco Esaminer, and latei 1 on the I'OST-IXTELI.I -GESCER. FATAL ACCIDENT AT SPOKANE. itridge Foreman \t att* Killc I a Blow From a Derrick Hoom SPOKASK, March 21.—: Special.]—A fatal accident occurred yest-rday morning at the Division-street bridge, which resulted in the death of \\ lliam Watts, foreman of the stone work.

It i 9 pro posed to run the Puebla in connection with the Walla Walla and Umatilla. Un der the new schedule a steamer will leave Puget sound ports every five days for San 1' rancisco. The Bellingham bay ports, Vancouver and Departure bay ports will be included on the run. A prominent steamship official who came up from San Francisco today, said that a rumor was current in that rity that the Facitic Mail Steamship Company were endeavoring to Charter the l ity ol Puebla to ply on the San Francisco- Panama route. The government has a contract with the Pacific Mail requiring certain time to he made between Panama and jSan Francisco, The steamers now on that route have been failing short of the required time lately. The last steamer was four days late in making her passage and it is now proposal that a faster steamship be engaged for her run until other permanent arrangements are made. State Supreme Court. OLYMTIA, Wash., March 21.—[Special.J— The supreme court today modified the judgment in the divorce case of Amelia Boyer vs. Charles I). Boyer, from King county, by directing that in lieu of $3,000 ordered to be paid by the defendant to plaintiff, he will be required to pay $75 per month for forty months. The attor ney fee allowance is reduced from SI,OOO to $.500. Iu this case the court holds that a respondent may waive notice of the set tlement of a statement of facts by appearing before the judge at the time of settlement and taking part therein. The judgment in the King county case of P. Frederick and W. 11. Mand, appellants, vs. Walter A Shorey and wile, was re versed. This case involved the validity of the transfer of Seattle real estate by Shorey to his wife. The court holds the conveyance to be fraudulent and yoid and orders that the property be sold according to law to satisfy a judgment of the appel lants, including the costs in both cases. The Tacnma Charter Muddle.

TACOMA, March 21.—[Special.]—The de cision of the supreme court that the pro posed amendments to the city charter can not be voted upon at the coming munici pal election did not surprise lawyers who had looked into the matter carefully. Be fore the case went to the supreme court it was the verdict of tiiose who had given the matter consideration, that the amend ments must be printed in two daily papers. The deferring of action, however, does not displease many, fully 50 per cent, of the proposed amendments being opposed. The useless machinery of the charter has given rise in part to the cry for retrenchment in city expenditures. ltrlef Taroma New#. TACOM*, March 21. —[Special.]—Renor J.
