It was fnrtber agreed that civil engineers
are better fitted to carry on these works
than army engineers; that the education of
the former better qualifies them; that at
present the

gentlemen maintained that their plan of
& civil bureau with permission thit army
eiiglteers may enter the corps will afford a
ttore fimplf, more efficient and more eco-
nomical method of river and harbor im-
provements.
The bill will naturally be vigorously op-
posed by the army engineers and their
friends, though there is a strong feeling la
congress that some new method must be
created in which to bring about the neces-
sary result In the Improvements of the
waterways of the country. The present
eyttem is looked upon by many as a fail-
ure, and with the many appropriations
there is little, if any, good being derived
frcm them.
There are many reasons to believe that
airny engineers must go, and that the river
and harbor system will be placed In the
hands of civil engineers.
COMING TO TEXAS.
There is a strong belief among the Texas
delegation that President Cleveland will
consent to go to Austin at the dedication of
the state capital in May. Those who have
talked with him upon the subject say he
speaks very encouragingly, and will go if It
Is possible to get away from public duties

tlons, he said, had been made against the
use of the names of north Datcota and
south Dakota, but conditions were such that
the name of Dakota could not be taksn
away from either portion of the territory
without injustice, and without doing vio-
lence to thefeeilngand wishes, he believed,
of every inhabitant in the territory, To
give somo other name than Dikoia to
either portion of the territory would be
something like tbe authorities of a town
going into a family and insisting on giving
to its members other names than those thev
had received from their paronts. It would
te ss unjust as to &?feuipt to change the
name of North Carolina or South Carolina.
The proposed state of ISouth Dskota had a
population of JOO.lK'O, and he thought they
had a right to be adopted as a state In time
to participate in tbs next presidential aleo-
tlon. Speaking of the division of the pres-
ent territory, he said so strongly convincsd
was he that that territory ought to b3
divided he would be in favor ot it
even if the people of the territory were
against it. The present territory was too
large for one state. As to the suggestion
made at the last session that the cutting up
of territories into numerous states would
convert the senate into a mob, he replied
that it was better that the senate should bs
so enlarged as to represent the popular
will and to feel the popular pulse, than that
a state should be admitted so large as to
have an abnormally large representation
in the house of representatives. There
was now In the union nine states
having a less population than that of
be proposed state of south Dakota,
He argued that south Dakota had brought
herself within precedents under which
states had been admitted. It could not be
said she had done anythiug irregular. Why
should she not be admitted and admitted
nowWhy should her prayer be longer do
nied? Why should the senate tarn a doaf
ear to her prayer? Why should the senate
refuse to participate in that greatest, grand-
est act of legislation—the admission «f a
new state into the union—thus adding to the
grandeur, the strength, the glory and re-
town of the American republic?
Mr. Butler obtained tire door and the bill
went over till to morrow.
The message from the president relative

Difficulty—Fiash-a*.
Fakis, April 9.—In the election yesterday
to Bll the vacancy iu the chain oor ot depu-
ties from he department of Dordogne,
General Boulanger was chosen. He received
69,500 voles against 35,750 for 11, Cierjonnie,
the opportunist candidate. The result was
unexpected and has increased the uneasi-
ness of the conservatives, who declare that
the Bouiangist movement is a public dan-
ger, and urgent measures are demanded to
check it. The Bonapartists assert that the
lesnlt in Dcrdogne proves that the country
demands a dissolution of the chamber of
deputies and a revision ol the constitution.
General Bonlanger refased to contest a seat
tcr the deperiment of Dordogne, but his
ii lends ior warded his candidacy.
WILL NOT ACCEPT.
La Lanterne says that General Boulanger
will refuse to accept the seat, as he desires
to git for the department du Nord only.

DESCRIPTION.
Tlio finvresistiDg walls are filled with the
best known non-conducting ccccrcto, tho sccrcii
of its ftrc-rosisting qualities being tho chemi-
cal change that takes place upon its being
heated to a certain temperature, which gene-
rates a vapor that fills all the pores in tho con-
crete, thereby forming a cool, moist wall en-
tirely around tho contents during its subjection
to the heat. The outside iron box is formed of
one continuous plate, bent round at tho corners,
forming top, sides and bottom. This box is
securely attached to heavy front and back
crescent angle frames, forming in outline an all-
round cornered safe. Tho doors ate stepped
or flanged in tho usual manner, and secured by front and back bolts. Has non-pickablecombination lock,
wl.ich docs entirely away witli the old style clumsy handle for throwing the bolts; tiie dial, in enmbina-
Hon with tho tumblers, operates tho bolt work. Tho lock is a thioe tumbler lock, and set to throe cum-
hers, and by operating the
dial knob in a certain way
in connection witli the three
numbers tho safe can be
opened. Full instructions
are sent with each safe,
^enabling every purchaser of
a safe to set his lock to num-
bers of his own selection, so
that none will know the
combination except be him-
self. Tho inside arrange-
ment is one upright shelf
in centre of safe, a sub-
treasury in upper left hand
corner, all nicely painted,
and bottom of safe carpeted.
The exterior finish is first-
class, ornamenters being tho
best in the country.
