Insurance Company of London had set

that firm the full amount of its propor

The amount paid is $4,018.36. It was e x

Legislature
changed the legal rate of interest from
10 to 8 per cent. Since that time there
has been great contention as to how the
law would affect warrants issued prior

of the art. The Attorney-General ex
pressed the opinion that all warrants is
sued prior to passage of the act draw 10
percent until paid, and all warrants is
sued subsequent to the passage of the
act and prior to the time the art took
effect— June 8—draw 10 js*r cent until
June 8 and 8 per rent thereafter. A
short time since action was brought
against Treasurer (¿¡Ibach of this <ounty
to compel him to pay 10 per cent on
warrants issued before the passage of
the act. Judge Gordon held 8 per cent
to tie the legal rate since June 8, 181'.‘I,
regardless of the time of issuance. This
case was appealed to and argued in the
Supreme f ourt, and the decision will lie

realize that, however peaceful and lawful

the fact that a large body of unorgan

Secretary Smith has approved the ap
plication of “ Pawnee B ill” for a loan of
thirty-five Sioux Indians to be exhibited
at the Antwerp Kxhibition.
Senator Call of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations has reported the for
tifications hill to the Senate as amended.
The committee increases total House ap
propriation to the extent of $826,405,
the bill as reported carrying $3,504,104.
It is intimated upon good authority
that the President is strongly disposed
to use a portion of the fund placed at
his disposal for the establishment of a
naval coaling station in Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii. It is asserted that the actual
occupation of I’earl Harlior will amount
to assuming a protectorate over tlie isl
ands, and that HawaiianH would have no
cause to iear interference in their affairs
by other powers.
The President lias transmitted to the
Senate all information in his possession
regarding the Bluefietda (Nicaragua) in
cident and the landing of British troops.
There is nothing startling in the corre-
■pondence. Among the letters attached
isone from Ambassador Bayard, in which
Bayard says he was informed by the
British government that the landing of
troops at Rluefields was taken for the
sole purpose of protecting the lives and
property of the residents and with no
intention of violating treaty rights.
F.stimutes of the amount of revenue
under the new tariff bill reported to the
Senate will probably show the total
amount to be almost $381,000,000. This
is a reduction of $13,000,000 from the
estimates in the first bill reported to the
committee. The principal reduction is
made through the restoration of the
present tax rate on domestic cigars and
cigarettes, which amounts to a loss of
over $10,000,000. As the bill stands, if
the estimate is correct, it will produce
$30,000,000 more revenue than is needed.
Delegate Joseph of New Mexico will
make a move, as soon as the appropria
tion hills are out of the way, to secure a
special rule by which the New Mexico
Statehood hill will be given the rij?ht of
way and block all other business in the
House until a quorum makes its appear
ance and passes the hill. As party lines
are drawn on the bill, he can hope for
no help from the Republicans, l’he lat
ter want Oklahoma admitted at the same
date in order to secure two Republican
Senators to offset the Democratic Sena
tors from New Mexico. I t is urged also
that the Utah and Arizona bills, already
passed by the House, give a prospect- of
tour Democratic Senators, so that fair
ness urges the admission of Oklahoma
as well as the other three territories.
Ixrnd of California made a strong
speech that attracted much attention in
the House the other day during consid
eration of the river and harbor items in
the sundry civil bill. He showed that
tiie Southern States had received up to
18IHI $60,000,000 for river and harbor im
provements, while the value of their
shipping »a s only $18,000,000. During
this time the Bacific Coast, with $23,-
000,000 value in shipping, had only re
ceived $10,000,000, and of this amount
Oregon had received the lion’s share—
$6,0(H),000. I -olid made such a good
showing for California that Hermann of
Oregon attempted a reply. 1-oud molli
fied Uie Oregon Representative by say
ing that Oregon fared so well because of
the ability of Senators Mitchell and
Dolph and Representative Hermann,
whose fitness for Congressional work the
( Iregon people appreciated.

Representative Caminetti as a member
of the committee is daily in consultation
with his colleagues in an endeavor to se
cure more money for the Sacramento
and San Joaquin rivers, while Repre
sentatives l/oud and Wilson of Washing
ton made a gallant fight for the entire
Bacific Coast on the House floor during
the consideration of the sundry civil bill.
The river and harlior bill when reported
will show some changes affecting Bacific
Coast rivers and iiariiors since the first
statement was
telegraphed.
What
changes these are will probably be iu
the nature of increases.
Further correspondence lietwcen W il
lis and Dole has lieen submitted to Con
gress. It is mostly explanatory. Dole
acknowledges the receipt of a letter
dated January 18 from W illis, and says
that in it W illis shows a desire that no
interpretation should lie placed upon the
events referred to that would lie incon
sistent with a friendly attitude on the
part of himself and the United States
toward Hawaii. February 14 Dole ad
dressed a letter to Willis, in which he is
much pleased at W illis’ explanation as
to why the American naval forces were
deprived of their litierty and prohibited
from wearing uniforms on shore after
the arrival of the Corwin. l>ole says
further that it lias not lieen his desire to
charge the United States with intending
to use force, but rather to show that the
withholding of information on the point
had produced an unfortunate state of af
fairs, and to which W illis’ attention was
called at the time. Dole closed by disa
vowing on the part of his government
any unfriendliness toward the United
States.
Representative Hermann has had re
ported from the Committee on Indian
Affairs his hill to ratify and confirm the
agreement with the Alsea and other
hands of Indians located upon the Siletz
Indian reservation and to make appro
priation for carrying it intoeffect. There
are 225,000 acres in the reserve, of which
175,000 acres, not allotted to the Indians,
are to be subject to settlement. The In
dians are to be paid $142,ti00 for their
cession. The President is to issue a
proclamation within twenty days after
the passage of ttie hill fixing a time not
later than forty days thereafter when
the surplus lands are to be opened to
entry. Judge Holman, the Chairman of
the ("-on i m it tee, argued for a reduction to
4 per cent from the 5 per cent interest

was voted down and his amendment de

amendment requiring actual residence

whereas under the homestead law proper

of the $1.50 payable per acre shall be
