Pavne and Pueb. Otherwise than as
just noted, the affirmative votes were

Beck suggested that " if we were- to
adopt the policy presented by Eustis'
amendment, then it. should be op
posed ! generally; so as to cover ail
land grant roads, and- that the sub
ject had better be considered by, the

Eustis supported his amendment.
He was in favor of dealing . witL all
alike as far as cases were - parallel.
Wherever a branch of. condition had
not been satisfactorily: expended he
would lorfeit tne land,
-, Vance inqmired what hardship or
injustice would be done if Congress
asserted the rights of the people in
this matter of land forfeiture! ' After
an uvestigation - of railroad . land
grants he had come to the conclusion
that Coneress would be justified in
resorting to every lawful method to
forfeit unearned , lands. . Mr. Vance
wished be could i prepare. - for this
purpose, a bill as effective as the
Yankee Scare Crow was &aid to have
been. The scare crow was said to
scare a" crow so effectively that it
not only scared crows out of a corn

' He inquired what was to happen in
this country when all the public

them at prices so high - that people

Teller defended the course of the
Republican party as to.:, the purity
ana patriotism ot its motive and con
duct in relation to the public land
He did not thmk it becoming in the
Senator; from North Carolina to criti
cise those land grants. ;, Those grants
were maae oy men who acted with
the best lights they had at the time
The Senator from North Carolina and
his friends were at that time fir arms
against thegoverifrutnt of the United'!

Vance remarked that, when in ans
swer to an argument against a wafcte-
rul and extravagant land policy, the
Senator1 got up and said that, he
(Vance) took part In the retellion,
then Mr. Vance knew that the ; Lord
bad delivered that Senator . into - his

Teller replied that, from what he"
understood the Senator .from North
Carolina - was , rather ; an unwilling
participant in mat rebellion at some
times that he was Jiot, perhaps as
energetic as some others, though he
did participate in it. But Teller had
aot referred to the rebellion for . the
purpose of reflecting on any Senators,
out.ro snow mat at mat time men
were not . certain"; that they could
maintain the integrity of the -empire.
: - Hawley contrasted the condition of
the wt-stern country before the - Pa
cific roads were built and at the
present, and said the building of
those roads was a piece of statesman
ship. It might perhaps have been
well to fix a low maximum price, at
which the lands should be sold, and a
limit ti' the number of acres that
might be held by one person, so as to
avoid; great ; accumulations in one
haqd.;-The railroads had, however,;
under great difficulties; been such a
blessing to the country that the gov
ernment ought not to use against
them the arguments of shy lock. The
United States government ought to
bea gentleman among governments.
Logan held . opinions . similar to
those of Hawley and opposed Eustis
amendment. " Edmunds and Conger
also opposed i Eustis' ' amendment,
which was rejected yeas 12, nays
Vm'Wyck offered an amendment
repealing the clause of the granting
act which made the right of way ex
empt from taxation in the territories."

he thought the road should ' bear iU

When the chairman Of the commit

the fiscal year of 1885 were 3ua,eju,

sented, 6ho..l jthat the aggregate
amount of appropriati .ns would ex

to reduce tariff taxes, and he thought
this was an occasion upon -. wnicn ne
should call the attention ot tne chair
man of the committee on ways and
moans and ; appropriations to :" the
startling figures. -
v Randall said that the figures were
not a surprise to him ' They couid
be in some degrees . accounted for.
In the first place the increase this
year over last year for pensions was
$15,750,000. There was no man here;
who 'was not willing to give this in
crease estimated ;; to be necessary to
nav oensions due to soldiers. An
other case of increase', was the river
and harbor bill;; which appropriated
tl5.250.000.!mafcing an aggregate in
crease of $3100,000. " He admitted
that' the I figures .presented i by the
gentleman from New York, might be
correct, but : they were based upon
the condition of appropriation bills
at v this time,; when some of the bills
had not passed the House, some were
pending in the . Senate, and some
were in Conference. He thought the
gentleman's figures ? were too high.
It was his, (Randall's,; judgment
that the appropriation would . about
equal the estimated revenues. He
objected co the assumption .that the
river and harbor bill would be ap
proved at the highest figures.;; So far
as he was able to see, there was a re-
duction'm every one of s the annual
appropriation bills reported J to : this
house, whether they came from the
appropriation committee or. from
any committe, to- which appropria
tion duties had been assigned, but
he was led to admonish the House,
and especially the Democratic side oi
the House that it - ought to - follow
closely the recommendation of every
one of those committees, and to keep
appropriations .down to the lowest
point. - ,
The condition was not one of p
prehension, but it was that compeIN
ea ana.aemtnaea tne utmost caution,
on the part of the Democratic side of
tne House to see that not one ; un
neessary dollar was appropriated in
any one of the annual appropriation

of the fiscal year would show an in

what be knew to befacts, . that' he
had rather understated than over
stated the estimate he had made in
his report. Every appropriation bill

the treasury today to pay $10,000,000
for the current year, and in - future
years if - the tariff . bijil were passed
with iMr. Hewitt's amendment, at
tacbed, the $10,000,000,. would . be
paid into the treasury instead of be
ing paid out. He denied that he bad
been mistaken in his estimate of ex
penditures and revenue The total
estimated revenue- exclusive of the
postal ; revenue, would amount to
only $330,000,000, while the expendi
tures inclusive of the postal expendi

: He admitted that the appropriations

Oregonian's Victoria special says: All
day Sunday there had been a steady
wind from the northwest, - and the
brush clearing fires on the Canadian
Pacific Railroad lots were fanned
to such, an extent as to fill the termi
nal town of Vancouver 'with smoke.
Nobody, however,' had any idea of
danger. Shortly after 1 p. m. several
persons began to consider thesitua
tion threatening, but thp smoke was
so dense that they found it impossible
to direct tbeir steps to the exact loca
tion of the source. Soon a stable near
the Colonial Hotel was seen to be on
nre.- The alarm was given but so
skeptical were the people that they
paid no attention for some time. The
wind, by this time, bad increased to
a gale,and fanned the flames to a mass
of raging fire One of the first
buildings .to go was MacCartney's
drug store, followed by': the. office of
the Vancouver : News. The flumes
.shot across Abbott street with astons
ishing rapidity, and almost before the
people could realize it, the whole of
the Westere portion of the .city was
in a Diacze. . The excitement was in
tense. : Water street was ; filled with
a dense smoke, and - fly ing cinders.
and the people - were hurrying, with
what "cffeets they could -gather in
- their haste to a place of safety. The
general direction ofthe flight - being

.and proved as serious a menace
to the - fugitives Xaa the burning
houses of the doomed'eity. ' . During
the confusion which prevailed, when
the rowdies and roughs saw that
every one was leaving, they entered
the saloons, which: had been left nn.v
tirely unprotected, and cohimenced
annKing. Many a one was seen
staggering along ...the streets, with a
keg of beer on his shoulder or carry
ing as many feottles pf liquur. as he
could appropriate,- Men -were xspen
sitting completely hemmed in by fi re
and : apparently oblivious of their
surroundings, drinking liquor.' ? They
were, of course, then already par
tially intoxicated. . A large number
of fugitives collaoted at the Hastings
Mill Company's .wha-f, but 'a large
majority collected ; at False Creek
bridge, Nothing was to be seen from
either of these points. but a lurid
rollin g bank over v i the - . ashes
of the cifcy, from whioh stragglers
could be seen oosaSionaUy .fleeing.;
"The steamer Dunsmeir was t the
wharf toreceive the people and with
several other steamers conveyed a
large number; over to r Moody ville.
The dropping of the flames was as
sudden as their rise, and by six p.; m.
some, adventurous spirits had already
made their way - along - the roads of
the destroyed cityr: and before dark
the work of searching for bodies
of . those ; ;; overtaken v by r the
fiery- element had begun. In a short
time the incinerated remains of sev
eral persons had been discovered . Up
to ten o'clock Monday morning nine
bodies, some of which , were burned
beyond recognition, had been found.
There is some uncertainty-about the
exact number already found, as in
eorae cases a handful of charred
t wera the only ind:c?.tior.3cfhu-

he thought the nurnbefg " could be
truthtully estimated at twelve. -The
general sentiment: of the people ap
pears to be one of hopefulness, and
there is a determination to'at once
begin the reconstrujtion of. the city.
