THE STATE OBJECTS TO IT.
ftUNTINGTO'N ACCUSED OF TRYING
TO FORCE IT THROUGH THE
SENATE.
ftARKOR BILL AnOUT COMPLETED.
♦he Contested California Appropri
ation Is the Only Matter Yet to
Be Decided.
WASHINGTON, May B.—The river and har
ftor bill was completed ln the senate today
with the exception of the item for a deep sea
harbor on the Pacific coast. This has aroused
keen opposition, the two California senators
opposing the proposed contract appropriation
of $2,998,000, for the harbor at Santa Monica
bay, on the ground that it is a project fos
tered by the Southern Pacific railroad as
against public sentiment and the recommen-
dations of two boards of army engineers.
Mr. White, of California, commented on the
extraordinary condition by which the com
merce committee of the senate was forcing
an appropriation on a state against the wish
es of its senators, representatives and people.
With the bond resolution out of the way,
the senate gave its attention to an accumu
lation of minor measures before going on
With the river and harbor bill. Mr. Mitchell
(Rep., Or.) gave notice that when the last
appropriation bill was passed, he would press
the joint resolution for the election of sen
ators by the people, not for the sake of hav
ing further speeches, but of actually adopt
ing the resolution.
The senate then took up the river and
harbor bill, and disposed of it all except the
reserved amendment for a deep-water harbor
ln Santa Monica bay, and authorizing con
tracts aggregating $2,998,000 for the work.
Mr. White offered an amendment for the
creation of a board of three officers to re
port on the relative merits of Santa Monica
bay, and of San Pedro harbor, for the pur
pose of a deep-water harbor. Mr. White
commented on "the extraordinary and pc-
culiar conditions" under which the senators
and local representatives from California
■were not consulted as to the proposed appro
priation. It indicated that "some extraordi
nary influence" had been brought to bear.
The senator commented on the "persistency
of the Southern Pacific railway," and de
clared that this accounted lor the extraordi
nary action.
The senator commented severely on a com
munication from "the third house," written
by Civil Engineer Corthell, an employe of
the Southern Pacific Railroad company. The
senator repudiated the claim of Corthell
that he made an "official Investigation," at
the request of senators and members. It
was Mr. Huntington whom he served.
Mr. Gray (Dem., Del.) asked if there was
not some official recommendation in favor of
the Santa Monica harbor.
"None on earth," answered Mr. White, "and,
further, this appropriation of $3,098,000 is pro
posed without an estimate ol recommenda
tion."
Mr. George (Dem., Miss.) added further
questions. "Do I understand," he asked,
"that two boards of army engineers, sworn to
tho performance of their duty, have reported
(.gainst the appropriation which the commit
tee recommends to the senate? And do I
understand that the two California senators
and the representative from the District op
pose the appropriation which the committee
recommends?"
"Yes."
"Is lt a fact that no edidence exists in ravor
of the project except that of the two men in
tho employ of the Southern Pacific railway?"
Mr. White answered that others had given
their opinions and views, but there was no
bther professional report.
Mr. Bate (Dem., Term.) added that he un
derstood that the commercial bodies of the
locality were opposed to the Santa Monica
»ite. At this point Mr. White concluded, to
ro on tomorrow, and the senate adjourned.

hire during the sessions. Today the proposi
tion to extend this allowance to members
during recesses came up in the form of a res
olution adversely reported from the commit
tee on accounts. It occasioned some very
sharp debate. It had the support of Mr.
Cannon, the chairman of the appropriation
committee, but was opposed by Mr. Dingley,
the floor leader of the majority. Mr. Aldrich
(Rep., 111.) said it would involve an expendi
ture of $216,000 per annum. The resolution
was advocated by Sir. Cannon, Mr. Morse

Mr. Skinner (Rep., N. C.) and Mr. Tolbert
(Dem., S. C). The resolution was amended
so as to except chairmen of committees hav
ing annual clerks, and as amended, was
passed by a vote of 130 to 108. An analysis
of the vote shows that 114 Republicans, 15
Dcrcocrts and 1 silverite voted for it, and
53 Republicans, 58 Democrats and 1 Populist
against lt.
A bill was passed to appropriate $5,000 for'

INDEMNITY CONFEREES.
They Have Been Appointed by the
House and Senate.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May B.—The house con
ferees on the bill for the relief of settlers on
Northern Pacific Indemnity lands were ap
pointed today. They are all members of the
public lands committee, Lacey, of Iowa;
Allen, of Utah, aid Underwood, of Alabama.
The senate conferees have also been ap
pointed, and it is expected that the consid
eration of the measure will be resumed at
once. The investigation Involves a contest
between Senator Nelson and Congressman
Towne. The senate has passed the Nelson
bill, but on motion of Mr. Towne it was
amended in the house, so that all after the
enacting clause was stricken out and a new
measure Inserted. Senator Nelson refuses to
allow. the amended bill to pass the senate,
and has therefore had lt sent to conference.
It is generally believed that the original
Nelson bill is most satisfactory, but It Is.
probable that the best features of both bills
will be adopted by the conference committee
and recommended for passage.
ALABAMA ELECTIONS.
Minority Committee Report Pre
sented to the Senate.
WASHINGTON, May B.—Senator Gray, from
the committee on privileges and elections, to
day submitted the report of the minority of

an investigation of the Alabama election, op
posing the adoption of the resolution.
The report asserts that the claim of the ma
jority that the senate has power to authorize
an inquiry as to whether Alabama has a Re
publican form of government ls "wholly un
founded and an indefensible Insult to that
great state and to Its population." The report
is signed by Senators Gray, Pugh, Turpie and
Palmer, who constitute the entire Demo
cratic membership of the committee.
"WASHINGTON CHARITIES.
Senate Committee Rejects the Ac
tion of the House.
WASHINGTON, May B.—The senate com
mittee on appropriations today concluded Its
consideration of the bill making appropria
tions for the District of Columbia. The most
important change made in the bill was that
restoring the old system of making appro
priations for the charities of tho district, and
striking out the lump appropriation as made
by the house. The action of the senate com
mittee is in accord with that flrst taken by
the house committee on appropriations, which
caused the bill, after it was about completed
In the house, to be again recommitted. The
action of the house was based upon the theo
ry that the charitable institutions were sec
tarian in character. The bill, as agreed upon,
will recommend that the same appropriations
be made for the various institutions that
were made last year.

REDWOOD FALLS, May B.—The Renville
county seat contest case was called If the
district court at 1:"30 this afternoon. Judge
Webber issued an alternative writ some time
ago ordering Clerk of the Court Cook to
move back to Beaver Falls, and Cook prom
ised to comply, but yesterday word was re
ceived that he would refuse to obey the
court's orders. This afternoon the attorneys
for Olivia appeared before Judge Webber to
answer for Clerk Cook not having obeyed the
court's mandate. The answer they set up
was that James Smith, the petitioner ln all
the county seat proceedings, was not known
to be a resident of Renville county. The
public opinion is that this point has been
raised simply to delay the forcing of county
officers to go back to Beaver Falls. Olivia
attorneys claim points of this kind which will
delay the moving for three years. Judge
Webber said that the point raised might be
legal, but implied that he would require the
clerk of court to go back to Beaver Falls.

CHARGE FALLS THROUGH.
Evidence That the Accusers Were
the Enibe-zlers.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis., May 7.— E. S.
Woolfan, the tailor of this city, who was ar
rested at the instance of Kaufman & Yezner
for the alleged embezzlement of $600 worth
of goods, has been discharged from custody,
Judge Hutchins holding that there was not
sufficient evidence to connect the defendant
with the crime, and it was more probable
that one of the state's witnesses, Samuel
Bvrnsteln, knew more of the disappearance
of the goods. The -case grows out of the
famous Ely, Minn., swindle, whereby Kauf
man & Yezner attempted to defraud Som
mers & Co., and Kellogg, Johnson & Co., of
St. Paul, out of $13,000 worth of goods. The
$600 worth were shipped to this city and
claimed to be placed in Woolfan's keeping,
but when the flrm decided to turn their
available assets over to Receiver French the
stuff could not be found. It had been sold ln
small lots throughout Northern Wisconsin
lumber camps all winter, and Kaufman &
Yezner accused Woolfan of embezzling the
property. The evidence was very contra
dictory by the Hebrew witnesses and the
result ls a complete turndown for the St.
Paul creditors, who backed the prosecution.
A few days ago the replevin suit by which
they attempted to recover what is left of the
$600 worth failed. Wolfan says he will have
Kaufman, Yezner and others themselves ar
rested. The whole party have left the state,
however.

EVEX AFTER DEATH
Dad Persisted in His Upplshness,
and Had To Hare His Way.
Washington Star.
A Stay reporter on a correspondence'
trip had occasion to stop all night in
a "West Virginia cabin, where he had
been entertained a year before. The
cabin at his first visit had faced the
road; it now occupied a position at
a considerable distance from the high
way, and faced the other direction.
When asked about the change, the
owner of the cabin said:
"Had ter make it. Dad made sech
a fuss 'bout it, my wife' lowed we'd
hey ter move back. To' see, she nev
er knowed the 6le man in his life
time, an' she didn' like bein' pestered
by him twenty y'ar after he wer
dead."
"How was that?" inquired the Star
man.
"Wall, the house uster be hyar fore
thar war any road, an' when dad died
we buried 'im over yonder by them
oaks. The road was cut through an'
we moved the house over dad's grave.
He never had cut up none, though he
war a great cavorter when he lived
but when we moved the house he uster
come every night to our bed an' try
to sw'ar, but my wife kicked erbout
it an' I moved the cabin back agin.
The ole man hain't come back sence,
an' I reckon he'll hey to hey his way;
he alius did fore he died, an' he hain't

AGAINST TWINS.
An English Company Proposes to In
sure Poor People.
Pearson's Weekly.
What worse domestic calamity can
befall a poor man's home than the ad
vent of twins, unless it be triplets. That,
at least, is the idea upon which the pro
jectors of the Provident Bounty associ
ation, organized recently, propose to
bank the prospects of the concern. As
a financial document it is unique.
It bears some respectable names, and
subscriptions to the capital stock of
£10,000 are invited, with the most tempt
ing inducements.
"It is notorious," say these projectors,
"that many people marry in the hope of
improving their fortune; but frequently
disappointment comes with the advent
of an unexpectedly large family. This
association provides to some extent for
that contingency by at once giving a
substantial sum in the case of the birth
of twins."

The Only Civilized Country in the
World That Has No Journal.
Pearson's Weekly.
A country without newspapers is In

a single paper is published.
Andorra is a little republic—about
thirty-six miles long by thirty broad—
situated on the south side of the Pyre
nees, adjoining the Spanish province
of Lerida and the French department
of Ariege. It is nominally under the
protection of France, but its 14,000 in
