THE DAY IN CONGRESS
The' Silcott Deficiency Bill Passed
in the Senate.
THE MEM HERS WILL NOT LOSE,
Debate ob the Senate in the Chinese Enom
eratlon Bill Views of Senators Con
cerning the Chinese.
Washington, April 9. The sen
ate to-day passed tho house bill
ajioropriting $75,000 to supply the
deficiency occasioned by Silcott'e
defaeation.
Tho senate resumed the consider
ation of I ho AionUna election case,
and Png'i conchuTeTITiis argrimeut
in favor of the democratic claim
ants. Turp presented an argument
on the same side of the question.
The Montana cases were laid
aside an I I he Chinese census
enumeration bill was taken up.
Kvarts said he regarded the
amendments reoi' ?d by the census
commissioner, as an improvement
on the house bill, and was willing
that they should be adopted, but
as to the merits of the bill itself it
was his design and his duty to de
bate ii at some length.
Mitchell explained the purpose
of some of the amendments that he
had oh" red. He did not like the
bill very well as it came from the
house, but as amende! by the
senate committee it was, he said,
absolutely woithlcss and insuffi
cient. He desired to have the
pending bill amended to require
Chinese to show that they were
residents on the 1st of October,
1::SS, the date of the Scott exclu
sion act, instead of 'as the senate
amendment proposes) on the 1st of
June, 190.
Hearst said his idea and notion
of legislation on the subject was
the passage of a law that would
exclude the Chinese from coming
to the country alter a certain date,
but he would treat the Chinese al
ready heielaiily.
Mitchell agreed with Hearst.
Without action the senate ad
journed. in Tin: hoi'sk.
By leqiiest the house committee
on agriculture to-day re-opened the
hearing on the Conger land com
pound and the option bill,
iioth of which have been reported
to the house with favorable recom
mendation. On the first named lull Messrs.
A. Gtavcs, representing the
Georgia Agricultural Association,
andJ.P. Jones, representing the
colored cotton farmers and planters
ol Arkansas, both colored, made
an argument against the passage
of the bill. Graves pleaded for
protection to the cotton seed in
dustry against the burden imposed
by the bill on the. ground that the
industry had contributed more
than anything to improve the con
dition oi' the colored farmer and
laborer of the south. To pass this
bill, he asserted, would be the
entering wedge which would
separate the colored people from
the republican paity.
'n motion of Strumble of Iowa,
the senate amendment to the
bill providing for the townsitc en
tries to land in Oklahoma was con
curred in. and a conference was
ordered. The house then went
into committee of the whole on
naval appropriations.
Wilkinson of luiisiana said be
would not emulate Great Britain
in building ships, but China had a
better tig ding armament than the
Cniti-d States, lie advocated the
establishment of a navy yard at
Algiers. Louisiana. Adams of Illi
nois said the people were anxious
for a navy yard at the mouth of
tin Mississippi river.
Pending final action the commit
tee arose and the house adjourned.

"While we are all working for
ourselves, the public, who use the
roads of the company, are more
benefitted than we; but- gentle
men, the best results cannot be
brought about unless every officer
of the company gives his liest at

political affairs. The people are
everywhere jealous of great corpor

not be used toadvancethe interests
of any political party, or to raise
up any one man or pull down an

not be so used henceforth for any

Iturie! on Ilea Caple'a Farm.
Portland liki-rani.
Tradition says that in the year
1841 a Spanish bark w as riding at
anchor opjiosite the .present site
of Columbia City and near the
farm now owned by lift Caples.
There was a large amount of treas
ure aboard the vessel, and the
crew conspired to obtain possession
of it. They mutinied, assasinated
the captain, and buried the gold
and silver in the vicinity of Caple's
farm, so at least is the rejiort.
The inconsistent shade of this
tiaditioii. however, is the burial of
the treasure when the mutineers
had iii:-waycd control of the bark.
But the Vtorv is told, some of
the Spaniards subsequently return
t-d, endeavoring to recover the
money, yet without succees.
( ihc is who became acquainted
with the iact that a great fortune
ha'i been buried on ornearCaple's
farm, made unsuccessful attempts
to find it. but always with serious
results to one or more of the
searching parties.
At a spiritualistic meeting in
this ciiy some fiveorsix veara ago
a spiritualist claimed to Lave had
a revelation as to the identical spot
where the Spaniards had covered
up their ill-gotten wealth, whicb
never ave them a moment's hap
piness or enjoyment.
Several of tiie spiritualists, re-po.-ing
confidence in the revelation
vNited Caple's farm, and, after
searching several days, they dis
covered a large deposit f small
rocks at a depth of a foot in the
soil, and supiiosed the monevto be
buried leiieath it. While they
were at work removing the rocks
one of the men droppeil dead. This
created such consternation among
the rest that the party abandoned
their labor.
No further efforts to secure the
bidden treasure were put forth
till last week, when another party
weut on this evident wild goose
chase. Among them was one
William Matthews, who succeeded
in locating the rock deposit.
While delving underneath it, in
the expectancy of unearthiug a
huge fortune, he struck a mass of
human bones. Lniring the few
moments consumed in examining
them, Mathews was transformed
into a raving maniaej After that
his associates also abandoned the
work.
Matthews was brought to this
citv on the steamer Alarm last
Friday and is now under the care
of his friends, who will cause hia
removal to the insane asylum
