The Mexican government and

The Pacific delegation are unani
mously of the opinion that the
proposed abrogation of the oth

fact as stated by Grover and the
democratic colleagues in their
interview with the president on
Wednesday as well as the repub
lican members of the delegation
previously, that these articles have
been nullified by China from the
beginning, and are utterly worth
less so far as our citizens and com
merce are concerned, and arc not
needed for the protection of
Chinese in this countrv.
the
Jobs Before Congress.
fsrKClAL TO THK ASTORIAK.
Washington, Feb. 15. Among
the funny bills before congress is one
for the benefit of Augustus Watson,
who wants $34,000 for "inventing and
introducing stamped and unstamped
newspaper wrappers, aiding consider
ably in the diffusion of knowledge
among mankind by increasing the cir
culation of transient newspapers." It
was Augustus Watson who wanted
congress, two or three yours ago, to
appropriate a large sum of money to
survey a route for a railroad across
the continent of Africa.
That eminent connoisseur of the
fine arts, Senator Dorsey of Arkansas,
wants the government to purchase
that celebrated historical painting,
"The Hock of Chickamauga," by the
world-famous artist, Caroline L. Ran
som. Senator Dwrsey believes that
the nation can acquire this treasure
for "a sum not exceeding 12,500. "
Messrs. Nathan Appleton, S. Y.
Tupper, Patrick Farrelly, Frederic A.
Potts, and about forty other equally
well-known citizens want to be incor
porated as the "United States board of
trade, manufactures, commerce, and
agriculture." The work which these
forty gentlemen desire to undertake is
simple and unambitious. They pro
pose to originate and promote meas
ures for the benefit of trade, man
ufactures, and agriculture; to open
and maintain communications with
the principal commercial and agricul
tural associations of the world, etc.,
etc., ad lib.
Half a million dollars is wanted for
the improvement of the Youghiogheny
river in Pennsylvania, and the New
Guyandotte, Elk, Big SandT, and
great Kanawha rivers in West Virginia.
The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens
wants a goloid metric dollar, andgoloid
metric coins of all larger and smaller
denominations with B Plnribus Unum
and Dee Est Gloria on one side, and
'Liberty" and pictures of wheat, cot
ton, and tobacco on the other; and
William Wheeler Hubbell wants for
himself, and for his heirs forall the time,
a royalty of one mill on every goloid
dollar coined, because he got up the
idea.
Prof. Townsend Glover, who for fif
teen years has received a salary from
the government as entomologist of the
so-called agricultural department, has
spent part of that time in writing a
book about North American bugs.
He wants congress to pay him 27,900
for making over his manuscript to the
government.
William Patterson wants relief to
the extent of 2,920 07 not for having
been struck by an unknown assailant,
but because his lands in Adams county,
Pennsylvania, were occupied by United
States trooPs during the late civil un
pleasantness; and his neighbor, Jane
A. Clapsadd'c, wants $G05 28 on the
same grounds.
Half a dozen different Gnanoiers in
the lower branch of congress want bills
passed making the Mexican dollar and
the trade dollar Jegal tender.
Mr. Turner of Kentucky wants a
law making it unlawful for any Pul
man car conductor to charge more
1 tiiHJi Si for a niht's rice.oiiiimulntiiin.
! ii et rrn r j. .. c
or more than 1 50 for twenty-four
hours of luxurious travel.
A bill now in one of the pigeonholes
of a house committee wants to make
it a misdemeanor, punishable by fino
and imprisonment, to publicly solicit
alms within the limits of the District
of Columbia. This is the most sensible
measure of the lot. If rigidly enforced
such a law would cut off John lloacli,
and a good many other professional
beggars. c. r. c.
