2 THE teOmxING OEEGKXNTAST, TKUBSDAX, FEBKtTAJlT 28, 1S95. Tflf BAHOXE SQUARE BITTER AND FIERCE OPPOSITION TO ITS PURCHASE. TJje Homcllccame Involved In a Par liamentary Tansle and the Bill "Wajt Finally Abandoned. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Today -was wasted In the house, so far as the pur pose for which the day was set aside was concerned, namely, to consider bills re ported from the committee on public buildings and grounds. Only one bill was called up that to purchase what is known as the Mahone site for a new public printing: office, but the opposition was fierce and bitter, and after a wrangle of several hours the house grot into a par liamentary tangle, which necessitated the abandonment of the b!H. The conference reports on the bill to prohibit the impor tation of poods in bond through the United States into the Mexican free zone, and on the pension and postoffice appropriation bills, were agreed to. Seeral pension and other bills of minor importance were passed by unanimous consent. When the house met Cockrell. of Texas, moved concurrence in the senate amend ment to the joint resolution prohibiting the importation of goods in bond from the "United States through the free zone of Mexico. Crane, also of Texas, vigorously opposed concurrence in the amendment, which struck out the provisions limiting: prohibition to any point between the western boundary of the city of Laredo. in Texas, and the Pacific coast. This amendment, he declared, would prohibit the importa tion of goods through the United States into Mexico unless the latter country should abolish the free zone, but 12 per cent of the goods remained in the free zone. He denied with vigor the slanders that the zone was the abidng-place of smugglers and outlaws. Cockrell's motion was agreed to. The bill to amend the Chicago public building bill so as to provide for the sale of the old postoffice to the best bidder passed. O'Neill of Massachusetts presented the conference report on the pension appro priation bill An agreement had been reached, he explained, on all points. After some further debate the report was agreed to, 180 to 12. The conference report on the l)ill to pension General Harrison C. Ho bart, and to amend the act for the regu lation of steel vessels, was also agreed to, after which, under the special order adopt ed yesterday, the house proceeded to the consideration of bills reported from the committee on public buildings and grounds. The first bill called tip by Chairman Bankhcad was that to pur chase the south half of what is known as the Mahone square, as a site for a new building for the government printing of llce, and it caused considerable discussion. Milllken declared his opposition to the Mahone site. While Meredith was speak ing of the necessity for the passage of the senate bill, English interrupted him: "You mean job, not bill." This led Hicks to demand from English an ex planation of his charge that there was a job in the Mahone site. As the house was dividing, however, English had no oppor tunity to reply. A parliamentary snarl deadlocked the house soon afterward, and the whole question of the selection of a printing-office site was abandoned. Culberson, chairman of the judiciary committee, thereupon called up the con ference report on the bill to redlstrlct the Indian territory for judicial purposes, to provide additional United States com missioners, etc The report was agreed to. Henderson then called up the confer ence report on the postoffice appropria tion, and Loud moved to concur in the senate amendment designed to destroy the effect of the postmaster-general's order requiring every mail clerk to live on the line of roads to which he was assigned, but requiring future appointees to do so. Wilson of West Virginia protested against interfering with the regulations established by the postmaster-general for the regulation of his department. After some further debate Loud's motion was agreed to, 122 to 57. Sayers objected to the request of Wheeler for unanimous consent for the consideration of a joint resolution pro viding for the participation of congress in the dedication of the Chlckamauga military park next September. The pension bills favorably acted upon at the last Friday night's session were passed. Then, by unanimous consent, bills granting an American register to the British-built steamer Kahului, and to amend the act to forfeit certain lands granted to railroads were passed. It was 5:35 when the house adjourned. THE COPYRIGHT LAW. Anther and Publishers Acree Upon Substitute for Pending Jlcuxarc. NEW YORK, Feb. 27. The following circular letter has been sent to United States senators and representatives: "At a conference comprising representa tives of the American Newspaper Publish ers Association, the American Publishers' Copyright League, and the American Authors Copyright League, held in New York.

Feb. 27.-ln the senate today Allison introduced a bill to In corporate the maritime canal of North America, to authorise the construction of navigable canals through the territory of the United States between the Great 1-akee. the St. Lawrence river and tide water in the Hudson river, and other works necessary and desirable in connec tion therewith: to regulate commerce on and over sch canals and works and to establish the same as military and post roads. The capital stock of the canal company is lixed at Slft.ttM.Ott. and a bond ed indebtedness of 520O.fX).OOd is author ised. The company is empowered to con struct a canal from some point near the head of tidewater navigation on the Hud son to seme point on Lake Champlain. also from some point at or near the head of Lake Fraces to some point on the St. Lawrence above the rapids, known as the "Long Sault"; also from a point at or noar Lewibton, on the Niagara river, to pome point on the same river above the falls, of dimensions sufficient to admit of two of the largest vessels drawing 2d feet of water and passing each other in the channel at full speed. The plans for the construction of this canal are to be approved by the secretary of war. All tolls are to be approved by .the Interstate commerce commission. Work is to begin within five years from the passage of the aa, and the canal is to be completed In 18 years. There is no provision for the guarantee of bonds by the government, but the government may take possession of the property at any time at a value to be fixed by a board of arbitration. Hatch of Missouri offered In the house today a bill providing for the taking of an annual agricultural census of the acre age, production and farm value of the principal agricultural crops produced within the calendar year; of the number and value of the principal kind of live stock, and those slaughtered during the j preceding year. The census is to be taken on the 1st day of October of each year, and a. sum sufficient to take the census is authorized to be expended. Senator Martin, from the committee on public lands, today made a favorable re port on the bill allowing a second home stead entry to all persons who have lost lands formerly entered through no fault of theirs. Senator Mitchell secured an amendment to the sundry civil bill in the same lan guage as reported by Hermann in the house for a commission of engineers to make an examination of Yaquina bay. FIGHTING FOR THE RAILROADS. Rellly Doing: Everything: to Have HI IIIII Acted Upon. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. Chairman Rellly, of the Pacific railroad committee, and Senator Brice, chairman of the senate committee, had a consultation last even ing as to what could be done to secure some railroad legislation before the close of this session. They came to the conclu sion that the only way In which they could expect to accomplish anything was to add an amendment in the senate to one of the appropriation bills, which would in itself be a sort of funding measure. The California senators, however, are looking out for any such attempt, and would be sure to defeat it. Rellly has been nagged by the railroad lobbyists until he has become almost des perate, and would jump at any possible opportunity to get through some sort of legislation favorable to the railroads be tween now and March 4. The California members are always on guard in the house as well as in the senate, and he is not likely to spring any sort of surprise on them, as they keep thoroughly posted as to his movements. Members of congress generally do not take much stock in Reilly's plan to attach his funding bill to one of the appropriation bills, as they feel it would certainly be defeated. "I am sure that any such attempt would fail," said Senator White. "Rellly evi dently thinks he could put such an amend ment on in the senate and that rather than have the appropriation bill fail and run the risk of having an extra session called, the members of the house would al low It to go through. We will take care that no such amendment Is adopted." "The house would never agree to any appropriation bill with such an amend ment attached." said Judge Maguire. "However, I rely upon our senators to see that it is not done." OTHER CONGRESSIONAL NEWS. Have Been Signed by Cleveland. WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.

FKOI SECOND HA.NDS ALLEGED DETAILS OF THE LAST AFFAIR AT BLUEFIELDS. An American Vessel Wa Landing; Anas "When She "Was Fired I'pou by the British Vessels. NEW YORK. Feb. 27. The World this morning prints the following from Colon: "The Faith, a coasting sloop which ar rived here yesterday from Bocas del Toro, brought the news of the conflict at Blue fields. The Faith met two British schoon ers, the Dauntless and The Brothers, at BocasdelToro. The masters of the schoon ers reported that while they were at Blue fields, about two weeks before, an Ameri can ship, whose name they did not know, arrived there. The British consul at Blue fields was informed that she had arms on board. The American ship left Bluefields for Cape Craclas Adios, north of Blue fields. A British man-of-war followed her there, and found her landing two boat loads of arms. The Britishers fired on her, carrying away her mast." The' Voters to Decide. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. No reliance is placed here on the vague report cabled from Colon that a British warship had disabled an American vessel at Bluefields. The United States warship Atlanta is the nearest American vessel to Bluefields. She has been at Colon since January 26, having visited the Mosquito coast about the first of the year, when Captain Crom well, of the cruiser, officially reported peaceful conditions in the state. Navy of ficials pronounce the report highly im probable, and announce that no action will be taken upon the rumor. They do not believe that any British vessels are at Bluefields. The war sloop Pelican touched there January 18, soon after the Atlanta left. She Is a little vessel of 11S0 tons, similar to the Castine and Machlas. The only other British vessel in the neigh borhood is the gunboat Partridge, which is smaller than the naval academy prac tice ship Bancroft. She was at Belize January 23, and is probably still there. If any American vessel has sunk at Blue fields, it must have been a fruit steamer or some smaller craft, and Washington officials are confident that the casualty could not have been Intentionally caused by a British national vessel. If It subse quently appears that a state of disorder exists at Bluefields, the Atlanta can go there in two days. BOYCOTT OX AMERICAN PRODUCTS. France Ac-ninst Cattle and Germany Against Dried Apples. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. The secretary of agriculture was today shown the dis patch from Paris, stating that the United States embassy to France would protest against the decree adopted by the French cabinet, prohibiting the importation into France of American cattle on account of the prevalence of Texas fever and pleuro pneumonia. The secretary said he had confined himself to advising the state de partment as to the facts, which were that the condition of our cattle does not justify any action on part of any country restricting imports of American cattle. The secretary added: "The condition of our cattle,, and the extent and character of our inspection system, make the allegation that such re striction is required for sanitary reasons the merest pretense. We have better opportunities now than ever for knowing the condition of our cattle, for we are in specting more than ever before 12,000,000 head last year. Moreover, that Germany and France have confidence In the ef ficiency of our Inspection, is, shown by the enormous increase in our export? of in spected pork to these countries. These have increased in the past few months more than 20 per cent, over the exports of the corresponding period a year ago, and the inspection was microscopic." Consul Waller reports to the state de partment that an order has just been is sued by the police administration of Co logne, and published In the local news pepers, warning the people against eat ing American dried apples. It says that large quantities of such apples, chiefly of American origin, are offered for sale which contain a larger or smaller amount of zinc Of 13 samples, 11 contained zinc. , The order further says that the Amer icans dry their fruit on zinc netting, in stead of on wooden racks, as in Germany. Continuing, the mayor's orders say: "I, therefore, feel obliged to give strict warning against the sale and eating of American dried apples, and give notice to those offering such article for sale that they will be proceeded against in accord ance with the Imperial law regulating the trade in food and food products." According to German statistics, there were imported from the United States, in 1893, 29GS tons, and, in 1894, 2133 tons of dried apples. The reports by mail received at the state department today from our consuls in Cuba, show a deplorable state of af fairs there. Consul-General Williams sends a copy of a cablegram addressed by the provincial deputation of Matanzas February 16, to the representative of that province in the cortes at Madrid, as fel lows: "The Matanzes deputation deems the sugar crisis most grave. It believes it is impossible to finish the crop. The suspen sion of all taxes oh Cuban sugar, with its free admission into the peninsular markets for one year, is, therefore, urgently necessary." Consul-General Williams, in comment ing on this, says: "This telegram expresses the apprehen sion that the Cuban sugar planters, from the low prices of sugar consequent upon its over-production, may not beable to finish their present crop, and asks for tho suspension of all taxes on the manufac ture of sugar and for its free admission into the Spanish market for one year." A report from Consul Baker, at Sagua la Grande, says bankruptcy appears in evitable for nine-tenths of the growers In his district, and the mills may not finish their grinding. He predicts that a long continuance of the present conditions will see "a direful and disastrous" state of af fairs, even with the most prosperous planters. The Impoverished condition of the people is verified by the almost dally suspension of well-known firms. It has been stated that the report of the Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, of the bu reau of education, on the "Introduction of domesticated reindeer in Alaska," con tained names of Eskimo villages on the Alaska coast unfit to be translated Into English. In the absence of Dr. Jackson, in Carlisle, Pa., the explanation given at Lthe bureau of education regarding these names Is that they were furnished by Henry D. Wolf, who has passed a great many years in that part of Alaska. He was regarded as a thoroughly reliable and competent man. No one in this country, it is stated, understood the Eskimo lan guage sufficiently well to translate into English. The only Eskimo-English vocab ularies in existence are one made by John W. Kelley, who spent several years near Point Barrow, in charge of the whaling station there, and another by Professor Schultze, of Bethlehem. Va., compiled chiefly from information obtained from missionaries. No one in the bureau of education is able to translate the names, and the officials express doubt whether Dr. Jackson could do so. Tho sentiment expressed In an inter view several days ago with Representa tives Bland and Livingston that the members of the democratic party who are favorable to free silver propose mak ing that the main issue in the Dresidentiai I elections of next year, will be followed this week by a meeting of representatives and senators who favor the free coinage of stiver. It is expected that this meet ing will be largely attended. It is the in tention of its promoters to issue a call stating that a majority of the demo cratic party desire free coinage, and that they have been misrepresented by the minority, who have thus far committed the party to the single gold standard. It is understood that the call has been al ready written, but the authors decline to give publicity to it until it shall have been formally approved at the forthcom ing meeting-. An 18-inch. Harveyized plate, typical of about 300 tons of the side armor of the battleship Oregon, has reached the Wash ington navyyard from the Carnegie works, and will be taken to Indian head for a ballistic test the latter part of this week. This represents the last installment of heavy armor on outstanding contracts for the battleships; TO GO AFTER SEA-OTTER. The Government to BcCnuncii More Trouble by the C. G. White. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 27. The North American Commercial Company's schoon er C. G. White will sail today on a sea otter hunting expedition to Alaska. She carries 25 men, rifles and the usual out lit, also four engineers for the steam launches which the company uses in preference to the slow-moving canoes of the Indian hunters, who are supposed to do the hunting for the pelt of the exceed ingly valuable sea otter. The revenue laws are most stringent on the point that no white man shall kill or capture this animal In the waters of Behrlng sea and along the Alaskan coast, but the C. G. White has signed proscribed hunters here, who will receive 57 50 for every skin they bring over the side of the schooner. Moreover, they are provided with a stock of new Winchester rifles, the use of which will make the vessel li able to seizure, as only clubs, spears and shotguns are to be used by the Indians, who alone are permitted to hunt. The launch engineers are employed at $40 a month for the season, and with these small, swift steamers darting among the coves and inlets of the hunting grounds the chances of the otter to es cape and of the Indian to realize wages from its capture are reduced to a mini mum, though it has been the intention of the government to leave the sea otter to Indians. The schooner White has caused the gov ernment a great deal of trouble and has twice been seized for illegal hunting. The schooner-yacht Rattler, owned by the Pacific Trading Company, is also fit ting out for an otter-hunting cruise. THE WHISICY-SMUGGLERS. Government to Send the Corvrin Xorth to Rrcnlc Up the Traffic. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb- 27. The whisky smuggling traffic has grown to such enor mous proportions in Alaska that Uncle Sam has decided to resort to heroic treat ment. The revenue cutter Corwin has been quietly fitting out for a cruise for several weeks past. The Corwin tomor row sails for the North, and It has leaked out that she has been specially detailed to patrol the Alaskan coast from Sitka north, and to keep an eye out for illicit traders. The whalers and sealers fitting out for theirannual voyages to the frozen zone will be the object of special atten tion at the hands of the Corwin's of ficers, and In all probability most of them will be overhauled and thoroughly searched before they have an opportunlty of landing their countraband wares, if they have any such on board. OTHER NATIONAL NEWS. No News From BlLelielris. WASHINGTON,, Feb. 27. Officials of the state and n'ayy departments are dis posed to discre-the story that there has been troubloat Bluefields. There is no warship nearer that point than the Atlanta, which has been at Colon several weeks. Her commander's report showed everything quiet at the ports he visited. It is assumed he Is In a position to hear as promptly as any one of the reported trouble at Bluefields. There are a few American vessels plying between Blue fields and the United States engaged in tropical trade, but officials here cannot conceive any reason why they should be interfered with in a hostile way by any British man-of-war, and the belief is that if any ships have been disabled as re ported, it must be the result of accident. The Last Loan In England. LONDON. Feb. 27. It is officially stated that subscriptions to the American loan amounted to nearly COO,000,000.

Paxton, the Omaha philanthropist, today received this letter from P. D. Armour: "The Chicago board or trade Is making efforts to raise large funds to supply seed wheat to the Nebraska farmers.
