Of $14,OJ0 appropri ated at the close of the first session of last congress thi re was a! out 9,000,000 balancie in the treasury the lait x part of February. This appropriation was not mule until July, 1884, anil not until .uusb was it available. At that time hut a short period remained lurin which work uouM be accomplished. Especially was this the case in the north. A considerable portion of the 9,000,000 "will be used in mnir..cti wi-.ic i have been mide, and under which contractors will work during the present season.

All of these items were stricken out in the committee room. Xo reason for this action was giv en on the Boor or in private commu nication to the secretary of the Treasury. Old soldiers are curious to know if this is the first gun of the Democratic regime in the matter of soldiers' legislation. (oMraiU Good News for ths Territories. Washington, March 15. A delegation of gentlemen representing all the territories except New Mexico visited the White house yesterday, to present their views in regard to territorial government.

McCormick of Montana, all members of the national committee.

"Mr. Celaiul wp!isd, briefly but clearly, that lie should appoint to terri torial offices men from the territories, He also clearly pledged himself to listen to the recomendations of democrats within the territories, and not be decided in his choice of men for governors by outside pressure. Slater's Chances Pronounced Good. Washington, March 15. The fight for the commissionership of the general land of fice has about narrowed down to ex-Senator Slator of Oregon, ex-Representative Sparks of Illinois, and Suveyor general Wiley of California. George XV. Julliau has retired from the race, though he was endorse 1 by the Indiana delegation. Slater has a very strong senatorial influence, and the best opinion is in his favor. All of the papers of this city now agree that Slater ss pretty certain of the appointment, and the Cali fornians are even willing to admit it. British Columbia to be well Defended. Ottawa, March 16. It is the intention of the war office at once to put the defences of British Columbia in a more satisfactory condition, and increase the fleet in Pacific waters by the addition of four or five pow -erf ul iron clad rams.

Indisn Troubles in New Mexico. Albuquerque, N. M.. March 13. A let ter just received from Fort Apache brings news of an expected outbreak there, and that troops are kept in readiness for instant action. The trouble originates as follows: A Uhiricahua, who is in prison under In dian guards, for the murder of a white man two years ago, attempted to escape last Friday. One guard, a White mountain Apache, called upon him to stop, and on re fusal brought his gun to bear on the escaping man, when another guard, a Chiricahua and cousin of the murder, placing a rifle against the abdomen of the other guard, literally cut him in two. White mountain braves are gathering tor vengeance, and serious trouble is anticipated. Cleveland's Civil Service Polic. New Yokk, March 13. The Sun this morning bristles with points against Cleve land's civil service policy. It advises Cleveland to stand by the democracy, aud 1-t the mugwumps go. I he Heralds Washington special says: Cleveland yesterday emphatically declared that he wiil carry out the civil service re form. Both Hendricks and Vorhees dis sented most emphatically from the positions of the president, and especially from the purpose he announced of making changes very slowly, and only in those classes ot offices in which every one expects a change almost at once, with the administration making them. The president's views, if carried out, will not, speaking generally, give officer much faster than commissions exp ire. General Grant's Oonlition. New York, March 13. With the ex ceptions of brief spells of wakefulness, Geo. Grant passed a comfortable night. When he retired be complained of a dull pain in one ear and his head. He did not get up till Jate this mcroiug. New Yop.k, March 13. General Grant j slept a good deal to-day. fie took food frequently, and asked for it.

Con3'ampSiV2 Animals. Fulton, Mo., March 15. The lung plague among tiie asylum cattle is spreading alarm among our cattle dealers. Dr Trum bower had two cows killed from the herd yesterday afternoon that were infected, for die purpose of demonstrating the disease to the Asylum Board. One of the cows seemed perfectly well, but the doctor said she had the disease and had had it for some time; that one of her lungs was almost entirely t'one. On examination the doctor's state ment was verified. Tiie other cow, that appeared cjuite sick, he said had had the disease but a short time, and gave what he supposed to be the condition of her lungs. When examined his statement wa3 accurate in every detail. Society Circles DisgU3tsl wltb Cleveland San Francisco, March 13. Chronicle's Washington special: Society circles are terribly shocked at President Cleveland's plebiau habit of breakfasting at 8 o'clock and working in his shirt sleeves. During Mr. Arthur's administration the White house grew to be a sort of Windsor castie, to lie admitted to which all society people felt honored. They are now disposed to look upon Cleveland as a crusty old bach elor, with severe ideas of business and a real contempt for society. Therefore society feels a little rebellious, and some of its leaders have already resolved to keep away from the White House altogether. People who are well acquainted with the president say that this resolve, if faithfully kept, will afford him almost as much satisfaction as the withdrawal of the politicians. The Strike Over. Hannibal, Mo., March 15. The rail road has notified the strikers that wages will be restored to the same as those which were paid in October, 1884.

London, March 15. Excitement has been caused in commercial circles hy an ap parently well founded report that the Gov ernment, in its budget for 1885, will recom mend an increase in the duty on tea. In consequence of this report many of the bonded warehouses have been almost cleared of their stores of tea. Among the well in formed it is believed that the tax on beer and the duties on cigars and the more ex pensive wii.es will be raised by the Govern ment. London, ?.Iarch 13. In the honse of commons this afternoon Gladstone an nounced that an agreement has been arrived at between Russia and England by the terms of which neither the Russian nor the Afghan forces would advance any farther mi either side of the frontier. Tiie agree ment was to last as long as there was occa sion for it. Sp?rlt of the Press. London, March 14. The Standard says: "The agreement between England and Rus sia leaves the essence of the ditficulty un touched. Matters must have been tad when such an agreement was paraded as a diplomatic ffiin. Many consider this pause in the situation the prelude to surrender." The News still fears for the result of negotiations between England and Russia, r.nd is doubtful of a peaceful solution. Russia Preparing for War. Berlin, March 16. Baron "Von B'och reader is negotiating with other capitalists, with a view to placing the new Russian loan.
