' Result of a Conference with the President
at the White House—House .Passes the
Bill Providing for TWO’Additloual Reg-
iments of Artillery.
“’ashington. March 8.——Chairman
Cannon, of the~ Appropriations Com-
mittee, yesterday introduced a bill en-
titled “Making Appropriations for the
National Defense." 'It is as follows:
“That there is hereby appropriated
out of any money in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated for the national
defense and for each and every purpose
connected therewith, to be expended at
the discretion of the President. and to
remain available until June 30. 1859,‘
fifty million dollars."
1!: was referred to the Committee on
Appropriations.
Mr. Cannon had an interview with
the President in the morning, and at
its conclusion went to the Capitol and
called a special meeting of the Appro-
priations Committee. After this meet-
ing Mr. Cannon introduced the National
Defense bill in the House.
The bill will be passed at once. This
can be stated on the highest authority.
ARTILLERY BILL PASSED.
House Adopts the Measure to Create Two
Additional Regiments.
Washington, March 8.—The House
immediately on meeting yesterday
took up the bill providing for two ad-
ditional artillery regiments, and passed
it almost unanimously on ‘a viva voce
vote.
There seemed tobe but three votes
in the negative: Cox, of Tennessee;
Jones," of Virginia; and one other who
could not be located.
The debate developed nothing excit-
ing, but there was a great outburst of
enthusiasm when Mr. Hay (Dem., Va.)
Esclared that he stood ready to vote
or any measure to prepare for the
nzcrgency which confronted the coun-
ry.
“717cm Congress assembled there was
evidence of general excitement im-
mediately after the reading of the
journal in the house Chairman Hull,
of the Military Committee, moved to
take up the Artillery bill. Republicans,
Democrats and Populists acquiesced.
It required a. two-third vote to pass the
bill under suspension of the rules.
No effort was made to obstruct ac-
tion, though there was a desire to ex-
tend debate beyond the forty minutes
allowed under the rules, the purpose
apparently being to give members an
opportunity to go on record for the
measure as an emergency proposition.
There was no extension of time, how—
ever. Neither Mr. Bailey nor any lead-
ing democrat uttered a word of op-
position.
To Mr. Cox, of Tennessee. was
assigned the twenty minutes’ time of
the opposition, and that proved to be
as much as he could consume. He op-
posed the bill in a ten-minute speech,
which was interrupted by Democrats,
and then yielded ten minutes to Jones,
of Virginia, who spoke against the
measure. This ended the opposition.

MONEY WILL BE PROVIDED.
Senator Hale Advises Secretary Long to
Buy Warships if Necessary.
Washington, March 8.—Senator Hale,
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Naval Affairs, and also chairman of
the Sub-Committee on Appropriations,
to consider the naval bill, said yester-
day that he had suggested to Secretary
Long, of the Navy Department, the ad-
visability of making the purchase of
any supplies which might be consid-
ered necessary in the event (if a. war
with the understanding that the funds
for them would be provided by Con-
gress. ,
" The Senator said that large quanti-
ties of coal had‘ already been practi-
cally secured for shipment to Key
West, and he had no doubt that the
Secretary would extend the policy by
contracting for warships and ammuni-
tion it necessary.
“I hardly think, however,” he said,
“that it will become necessary, for I
hope that there will be no war. Fur-
thermore, I doubt the report that'Spain
has purchased any warships. But be
that as it may, no precaution will be
left untaken by this country to insure
a proper protection of our interests in
any contingency. 1 have agreed with
those who have advised against special
appropriation bills for the purchase of
supplies, because I think the Secretary .
has sufficient authority now to make
any purchase necesSary, and if he finds
it necessary to expend more funds
than he has these will be supplied in
the general deficiency or some other
general appropriation bill."
ACTIVITY AT DOVER.
A Train-Load of Ammunition Shipped
from There Every Night.
New York, March 8.—The Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
during the last week has shipped over
50,000 tons of gunpowder and ammunl- ‘
tion from the Government storehouses
at Dover, N. J. Secret orders have
been received from Washington for the
railroad to place a. special train at the
disposal of the Government to carry
ammunition from Buyer in the event
of war. It is promised to sidetrack
cars at Dover and run them direct to
the Government stores, which are lo-
cated about three miles from Dover. ,i
Orders have also been received'by the
Government oflicials at Dover not to
allow anybody to visit the Government
reservation until further orders. ,A
Government oflicer is on guard at the
gate, both day and night, and inter-
cepts all intruders.
How much powder and ammunition.
ls stored at Dover is known only to the'
officials of the War Department in
Washington. There are twelve store-
houses on. the reservation that are all
filledwith gunpowder, dynamite, pro-
jectiles and ammunition. During the ,
past week a. train load of ammunition
has left Dover each night of the week.

And Reniarkable Proofs that
the National Disease
Long Considered
lncurable
Can Be Cured and Has Been Cured
~Right Here in Norwalk.
Mrs. William W. Bloom, who lives
at 7 Water street, N orwalk, says: “I
have been troubled with catarrh in my
head and throat for some time. My
whole head was stud ed up; the pas-
sages of my head and throat would at
times become so filled with mucous that
I could not talk, and altogether it. was
very annoying. I also suffered a great
deal of the time with headaches. Igot
a. bottle of California Catarrh Cure at
Plaisted’sdrug store in South N orwalk,
and I think it. is the greatest stuff in
the world. It has cured me of all the
disagreeable suffering I have had for so
long;my throat troubles me no more,aud
Ihaven’t had a. headache for weeks. I
have recommended it to several friends
who have used it with satisfactory re-
sults, and we all unite in saying it: is a.
wonderful medicine.”
California Catarrh Cure is especially
prepared for treatment of the mucous
membrane. It allays the inflammation,
checks the disease and arrests and re-
pairs the decay of this delicate lining.
It. 13 a. curamve agent for colds,coughs
hay fever, bronchitis, asthma. and all
purely mucous aifections. Use it dur-
ing and after a cold.-:ind you will never
have a. cold “hang on,” or even reach
the catarrhal stage. When catarrh is
once firmly fixed in the nasal passages
and throat. it begins to attack the
mucous membrane of the passage lead-
ing either to the lungs or to the stom—
ach. . The result of the former course
is ultimately consumption, of the latter
what. IS commonly called some form of
1ud1gestion or dispepsia. It is catarrh
oi the stomach, intestines, kidneys and
various Internal passages. California
Catarrh Cure will prevent and cure all
forms of catarrh, whatever the part af-
iected, and even will check incipient
consumption. It is sold by all dealers;
{:0 cents, three times as much, one dol-
1211'.
There is nothing so exasperating as
to be told to speak louder over the
:phone when you are doiu g the very
best you can and any extra. edort would
mean a positive shriek.

THE RAILROAD KING.
William K. Vanderbilt Proves a \Vorthy
Successor of the “Commodore.”
William Kissam Vanderbilt, who in
one day stepped into the center of the
American railroad stage, and is now
the most important railroad oflicialir
the country, is perhaps the only mem-
ber of the descendants of the old Com-
modore who has the ability to take the
place of the late \Villiam‘ H. Vander-
bilt. Mr. Vanderbilt will relieve
Chauncey M. Depcw, it is said, of the
presidency of the New York Central,
and will unite in one corporation that
great road with _all the roads the Van-
derbilt wealth controls. His plan is to
form a continuous band across the
continent, arc! his single hand will be
on the lever that Will control the move

ments of this grand industrial me-
chanism. In all the empire of rail-
roads there ls nothing to compare with
this man’s scheme. Mr. Vanderbilt is
the second son of William H. ' His
father left him less of the stupendous
fortune than fell to the share of Come
11115, the eldest son. But Cornelius is
not strong, and oesn’t like enterprise,
while William Klssam has abundant
health, and loves industrial sway. He
is already in substance, the controlling
power of the Vanderbiltwealth. He
is now about to show the world some
thing of the marvelous capacity that
accumulated thatxwealth. The new
Caesar of railroad empire is 49 years
old. and active as a man of 30. His
new career will be watched with in-
tense interest.
