Tho general appropriation for the survey of public lands was increased from $50,000 to 575,0()i and the bill was then passed.

Annexation of Canada and Central America to tho United Statrs. Washington special: Mr. W. W. Curtis, of the Cliieaga News, had an interview with Senator Ingalls this nftcrnoon, of which tho following is an extract: Senator Ingalls declnres himself, with his characteristic emphasis, ns in favor of the annexation ot Canada, nndtha entire Central American states. Ho coined a word to express his doctrine, and it was a "continental repub lic." The unanimity ol tho nssault upon him by tho Knglish and Canndian papers sinco his speech on tho fisheries resolution would seem to indicate that tho blows he struck were felt, and were a good deal more than a disturbance of thin air. That ho struck a popular chord in this country is shown by tho delugo of letters that set in upon him the day after his speech was de livered, aud still continue with increasing uuinl.ers. Ho has received a good many from Canada, as well :is from citizens of lho United States, and all the Canadian letters were anonymous, vituperative, vin dicative and insolent to tho last? degree. Tho letters received from tills country have come from every state that could send a mail as far as Washington since the last debate, and are all congratulatory, enthu siastic and grateful, I asked the senator to show mo somo of the letters, and pointing to a great pile on his desk, ho said I was at liberty to help myself, and after somo urging permitted mo to make copies of a few samples, without giving the names. I asked him if ho hnd rend the attacks upon hiinsellin the English and Canadian papers. "My attention has been called to them," ho replied. "The tone of tho editorials in the leading Loudon journals is a lurther illustration of the temper ot England and the English peoplo toward America nnd our institutions. Thoy attempt to divert tlio issue from the gravity of the accusation to the insignificance of tlio accuser. The real question is not whether Mr. Ingalls is obscure, but whether Jus allegations are true or false. No suporcillious allusions to mo or my state can distract attention from the real principles in the controversy. Wo have been so submissive, so forbearing in the pnst, that the world is coining to bo lievo us a nation of cowards. There has been such a transfusion of the dry rot of nnglomania into our social systoni, such an adoption of the single glass, and the "aw," tho jargon, and tho raiment ot Lag' laud, so much llup-doodleand wliipsylabub, tea, custard, and nonsenso about km died blood and tho land of SUnkcspcaro and .Milton, that thero lias been a tern porary aberration ot the Intelligent, and a suspension of self respect on their part of tho American peoplo who forget that England is' the only enemy wo havo on t ho la co ut the earth. Il ls tinio that the American peoplo awake to the fact that tho statesmanship ot the nineteenth cen tury requires tho unification of this conti nent under ono homogonous government from the frozon sea to tho intor-oceanic canal, whenever it nun- bo built. The canal should bo our southern boundary My dream, aud I believo tho settled con victious of tho American peoplo is a conti nental republic, that is the manifest des tiny, that is the inevitable tendency of the political forces of the American people. It is their only safety, and instead of wasting our power in petty intigues with savages for a naval station in the Pacilie sea, a wiser and moro commanding policy would bo to establish relations of international friendship with our Canadian neighbors ou the north nnd our Spanish neighbors on the south, and not permit tlio machina tions ol lireat iiritain to foment disturb' nnco.i that will defer such nn alliance or render it impossible," I asked Senator Ingalls to givo mo his Ideas on tho continental ropublis a little more in detail, but he said lie intended to say somotliing on this subject in tlio eenato soon and did not want to spoil his speech. A WAR FERU.Xa. Buffalo (N. Y.) special: It is learned that theio are a number ot Italians of tills city ongerly watching the chnuces of a war with Canada and are ready to bo led into tlio dominion if occasion doninnds, to show their loyalty to the Unitoil States. Mr. A. 1. Oishe, a well-known Italian, says ho has just discovered a very pronounced war ole- meiit among ids people here. "I went into a saloon," ho said, "and found it full of Italians. As soon as they saw mo they be gun to shout and gather around ino: 'Here is the man who can lead us into Canada,' they said, 'ho knows us and ho can speak our language,' and they picked mo up and carried me about in their enthusiasm. Mr. O.aho said that yesterday morning a lot of his people came to Ids store and talked on tliusiiislically about tho prospect of war. They are loyal and tliey want to show their loyalty. They claim that thoy can raise 2,000 men in Buffalo alone, and 5.000 in tho state. RAISED FR031 $4 TO $4,000. Prnlrlo City (la.), sjifcial: Tho banking house of L. K. Seachary t Co., recently had nn experience with one of tho most daring forgeries seen lu this section. Early in tho evening a young man giving tho nam ol James Kirk wanted to purchase a dralt tor 5-1. The dralt was mado out to Thos. Allen and the money paid. It now trans pires tlint ouo Thos.

New Yoittc, Jan. 31. As tho last bell was ringing nt 3 o'clock this afternoon for the .de parture of the 'steamship Guyandotte from her pier In this city 'for Norfolk, Va., Bobert Sinclair, the mess boy, said a young man I ibout 25 years of age came hnrrledly from . the cloet room. The boy's attention was uxeit ami he noted that the- stranger had a brown mustache und whiskers, and that he wore a derby hat, light brown overco.it and dark trow sera. Tnese observations were made whde the stranger hurried ashore and disappeared among a knot of pers.nis at the foot of the gang pi auk. The steamer, Captain D. Kelley in com mand, proceeded on her voyage, but when ofl Long Branch :m exphxinn "occurred hi theaf terpartof the saloon, bv which Captain Kel 1.7 slid James Justin were slightly Injured. It Is believed to have been from" duiumlte packed In u satchel that' had been left In the closet room. Sinclair told the captain of the stranger who hurried ii-lmre n.s ll u last bell was ringing be fore the Mcamcr Milled nnd naturally he Is regarded lis lniv.uir paired the satchel con taining the cXi.iMvc. The steamer nt once put nbcut and arrived at hi r dock at 10:!W to night. The amount of damage to the vessel ha-s net liven obtained yet. The Guyaiidotle left with a mixed e rgo, though only partly loaded. She carried live saloon and fifteen tterrosrc passengers, with a crew of forty-two. Att'ie inom-nt of the explosion the captain was in the pilot bouse. The ile'omitioii was heard In every por. of the vessel, and e.iu-ed jyuch exeiti in.'iit among crew and prss, ugers. Captain Keile.v at once signaled to the engine room to slop", and an Investigation was begun. It was d hoovered that a hole about fifteen fc-t Kdiare had been cait'cd by the explosion through the main and hurricane decks and much dammr.1 hnd been done lu tin- taloon and the outside joiner work ou the laiiln (leek. The cabin was Idled with splinter of timbers, n piece of which struck a passenger named I). A. K-'Uv. who was reading In lho saloon, and was ccci-uly brult-cd on one k'lee. James Jutlne, a waiter, wns iiho struck by pieces of Hying wood ami was slightly injured. The machinery of the vessel was found uninjured, but the captain deemed his vessel In no con dition to continue the voyage aud he put back. The stranger whom the mess hoy saw hurry lug from the clo-et where the exp'oslon occuired h about ,",5 yours old, 5 feet 0 inches hlirh. Sinclair snys he noticed the strantrcr some fifteen iultiut.es before he ean.e from the closet, and he acted ns though he desired to avoid attention. Then he passed from Sin clair's observation until became from the clos et and went down the plank. He was the last P"rson lo leave the vesfd before she sailed. He carried a satchel when first seen, but had nono when he left the ship. The belief on board 1b that the stranger lert his Fatehel, containing fome powerful explosive, lu the closets, which are blown to atoms and which locate tho cen ter ot the explosion. Captain Kelley will isce no one to-night; no person has been permitted on board, and the pier of the company Is guard ed by police. souk trAsmxaxox gossip. Tub president read tho inter-state com morce bill and has referred it to the attor ney general for examination. It ia not likely that tne president will act upon the bill much beforo the ton days period. A number or applications have been received for tho appointment on the comniihsion provided for in the bill, but tho president has not given that particular subject seri ous consideration. The house committee on agriculture de cided to report adversely on the bill intro duced by Delegate Caroy ot Wyoming, re garding pleuro-pneumonia and other dis eases among cattle. This measure was drafted by the National Cattle Growers' association at their recent session in Chi cago, and provided for an appropriation of $1,000,000 for carrying out the provis ions of the bill. The notion of the commit tco was based upon thopendciicy of Hatch's pleuro-pneumonia bill. In tho secret session of tho senate the nomination of J. C. Matthows of Albany, colored, for recorded of deeds of the dis trict was reached and, discussed for an hour, tho majority of the senators present ing their reasons for tlio voto they wore about to east. Tho nomination was re jected. The voto is understood to be 117 to 37. Of tho minority three nre republi cans, and a proportionate number of the majority are said to bo democrats. Tho president has pardoned James D. CiimiiiingH, convicted in January, 1885, of making false vouchers in what are known tho naval fraud cases and sentenced to im prisonment in thodistrict jail for two years nnd to pay a fine of 52,000. His time ot imprisonment would lmvo expired on the 2Gth aud tho pardon remits the fine. A THREAT AXD A WARXIXG. New Yoiiic, Jan. 30. All was quiet oloug tho docks to day. A rumor In circulation contained both a threat and a warning. The former was that tie supply of coal to the gas companies would be cut oil In a week, and the hitter a warning to housekeepers to bo pre pared with lamps In eae of an emergency. Some of the New York longslioremon held a conference with a delegation from District assembly No. 51 of Ne.v London, Cotm. The result w'as not made public, but It Is expected that the Connecticut men will carry the strike to New Loudon If iiecc-sm-y. To-morrow morning 3,S&J more men will Join the strike. This'will shut down the work ou the docks of the failing vessels, "tramp" steamers and other steamers on the piers of tho Hast Blver, Jersey City, Weehawken, Bayonne and Brooklyn. They have no griev ance, but have bten ordered out to support those already on a strike. The men w ho will go out to-morrow were cautioned not to molest or lu any way Interfere with men who choose to take their places. By this action many hundreds of meu employed ou the oil docks at' Hunter's Polut and Bayouno will be thrown into idleness lXHEIIAI.F OF TllEIXDIAXS. Washington special: Senator Mnnder- son, on behalf ol "Young-Mnn-Airaiu-oi-His-Horses," George Swords, Standing Sol dier, Joseph Fast Horso and W. T. Solwyn of tho Ogalalla Sioux, has addressed a let tof to Commissioner J. D. C. Atkins asking thut tho government bear their expenses to Washington on two matters of consid. erable importance to their tribe and to tho whole Sioux nation. The first subject matter pertains to their court, established at Pine Itidgo agency, in ISM. Of this court, Yoting-Jlaii-Airaui-uj-io-iire, was elected chief puige, w.,0 ;.. i ..., ,i fnr Ni-coiid ludge. This court affords trial by jury in all minor casts, aud has undoubtedly done a great deal nt eood in civilizing the Indians. The fact i that these Indians have voluntarily imitated i.n white man's methods of secuiiug order and obdlenco to law is a most interesting fact. The court has received recognition from the various Indian agents at Pine Itldgn. but none ns yet from the Indian de partment of the government, and those In- .ll..,.a .laifM in linvn n. inlkfl mill a tlii.iia .
