A detachment of Company of he state militia, in going over the ground where last night's Bhooting occurredVdlscoverod the bodies of two men supposed to be killed by the fire of ice is not active enough nowadays to increase the supply of condemned ordnance. But while the war department is "short" on ordnance of tbe heavy variety, it is "long" on military stores of tbe smaller variety.

Sometimes a post of the G. A. R. concludes to decorate tbe wall of its rooms with carbines, sabers, bayonets and other reminders of the old days. Then wben applications for such supplies are sent to the department tbe senders are applied with a list of "ordnance srores for sale at New York arsenal.

Governor's Island." Tbe list embraces carbines, rifles, muskets, sabers, swords, pistols, revolvers, bayonet scabbards and numerous other articles of like' character. Tbe list gives tbe condition of the goods of which the government is willing to dispose, together with a list of prices. If any one in tbe United States desires to fit out an army with old time rifles and sabers he ean.be supplied at a very low cot. Or, it he wants to give bis library a military aspect be can accomplish his desire for a song. The highest price asked for any article iu the lot is $7.75 for a Spencer breech-loading rifle with Stabler attachment.

One of Merrill's breechloaders in second class condition can be bad for 75 cents. There are about 40.000 rifles, carbines and muskets offered for sale at prices ranging from 75 cents to 7 75, and in all conditions from "first claps" to "unserviceable." Thirty thousand nabers and swords are to had at prices varyintr from 2." cents to $1. Nine different kind of pistols and revolvers are to be had at "bargain prices. He Getaa Draw with ritzsimmons Be cause the Battle Was Stopped JOE WAS ALMOST KNOCKED OUT In the Third the Floored tho Australian, but tbat Bob Knocked Choynskl Down as East as ls Could Get Up Races at LeMars. Boston, June 18.

At tbe Boston theater tonight Bob middle- weight of the world, and a challenger of Jim Corbett, turned almost certain defeat into victory, and bad not the police interfered, it was ten to one be would bava finished Joe Choynski in another punch. A it was it was declared a draw, but no on present will ever claim that Choynski is a foeman worthy to combat witn the laut Australian. Three thou- sand people witnessed tbe battle. Cbonyski was first to appear and looked to be in tbe best of condition. Tbe Australian looked a trifle "heavier than his opponent and his condition seemed flawless.

The first round ended with honors even. In tbe second round Fitzsimmoos tapped Cboynski twice in the face with his left. Tbis seemed to waken tbe Caiifomian, for he let go with his right and left, the latter landing with good effect on Fitzsimmons body. Tbe ronnd ended with a clinch. In the third Joe's left landed on tbe foreigner's jaw and Fitzsimmons measured bis length on tbe floor.

Fitzsimmons beard Daly count off tbe seconds until, nine was reached, wben be staggered to his! feet, groggy, but full of cunning. Joe was' after bim red hot. and twice again did be, land left and right, though at every chance. Fitzsimmons clinched Joe's neck. The; round closed with both mn staggering around, each trying hard to get in a final1 blow.

Fitz's wonderful recuperative power had asserted itself when tbe fourth round bad commenced, while Cboynski was leg' -wenry. tbe Australian made for Cboynski at once. Fitz bit bim twice on tbe flooring him, and wben he arose repeatedj the dose. Twice more did Fitzcmmons floor him. but each time tbe California staggered to bis feet.

The battle was finally getting gory whet Capt. Warren, followed by a squad of officers, entered the ring and said tbe mill must stop. Tbe spectators did net cease tbeir yelling. Fitz started to finish Cboynski in tbe fifth, his first blow knocking the Caiifornian down. Joe staggered to his feet and Fitzsimmons landed bis left on Joe's jaw, flooring bim -for tbe last time.

As be essayed to rise Captain Warren again made bis appearanoa and this time said tbat under no conditions would he allow the battle to continue. According to the articles, which read that if both men were on their feet and willing to go on at the finish of the stipulated eight rounds, it should be declared a draw, there' was but one decision for the referee to make and tho fight was declared a draw.

June 18. After consulting with the secretary of the interior. Senator Allison and Congressman Dolliver have drawn up the following, which Senator Allison will tomorrow: offer in the senate as an amendment to tbe sundry civil appropriation bill: "To adjust the claims of settlers on the so called Des Moines river lands in tbe state of Iowa. 390,000, to be expended by the secretary of tbe following manner: the interior shall ial commfissioner interior in the Tbe secretary of appoint a spec- to investigate, hear and determine the claims of all persons, their heirs, and assigns holding pat ents or other written evidence of title to lands included in tbe so called Des Moines river grant, whose title thereto from the United States bas failed. Said commissioner shall find tbe sum due such claimants, and tbe measure of damages of said claimants shall be tbe amount expended by them to purchase tbe paramount title to said lands, or, in case tbey bave not heretofore purchased the outstanding paramount title, the measure of their damages shall be tbe roasonable value of snch paramount title, the object of this provision being to, fully indemnify all such settlers who entered Upou said laud relying on the title conveyed to tbem by the United States against loss by the reason of tbe failure of such title.

The commissioner appointed under this act is authorized, subject p6 tbe approval of the secretary 6f interior', to settle and amicably adjust all claims 'under this act, and shall bave the power to administer oaths, compel tbe attendance of witnesses and preserve a record oftbe proceedings before him. No money shall be paid out under this act until tbe findings of the commissioner are approved by the secretary of tbe interior, who sjsall have full authority to contract all proceedings herein authorized. In addition to tbe appropriation hereinbefore made tbe sum of $12,000, or so mucb thereof as may be necessary, is appropriated to pay, the expenses arising under this act." OKLT AWAITS GROVEK'S SIGNATURE. This morning Mr. Perkins secured unanimous consent and called up in tbe house the bill to graut right of way to the Eastern Nebraska and Gulf railway through the Omaha and Winnebago Indian reservation.

At first Mr. Duuphyv of New York, inter, posed an objection, bttt after the -bill had been explained to him be withdrew bis opposition and tbe bill promptly passed the house. It has already gone through the senate and now only awaits the signature of the president to become a law. As the secretary of tbe interior bas recommended- the measure there will be no difficulty iu securing tbe approval of tbe president. D.

A. Holmes, of Sioux City, who has been here in tbe interest of the bill goes home tomorrow. He says that operations will begin upon tbe new line just as soon as the arrangement for right of way through private property can be obtained CALLED DOWN SIOUX CITT SXAMIXSRS. The commissioner of pensions sent a very sharp letter to tbe board of surgeons in Sioux City, consisting of Drs. F.

J. Murphy, George Schott and W. H. Tbarp, because of their apparent flagrant neglect of duty. Tbe immediate cause of the letter is tbe failure of the board to report upon tbe examination of John Duble, which took place about May 16.

Duble's claim bad been made a special one, and it will probably be allowed as soon as the board makes its report. Every day for tbe past ten days the. deputy commissioner bas sent to the medical division for this report, but it bas not reached Washington yet. Investigation reveals the fact that examinations made six months ago have not yet been reported to tbe office. Tbe commissioner gets a scoring because members are unable to get a status of pending claims, owing to tbe delinquency of exacting boards.

He bas decided to insist tbat there shall be an abatement of tbe delay and has begun on the doctors of Hioux City, it is probable tbat tbe letter will have tbe effect of inducing them to be more prompt in making their returns to asbington. TRYING TO PREVENT A BOND ISSUE. Tbe president is doing everything in bis power to prevent the necessity for a new issue of bonds. When it was decided in cabinet meeting a week ago that a loan should be offered tbe exact situation in reference to tbe last loan was not realized. Since that date representatives of some of tbe greatest banking institutions in New York have called on tbe ''secretary of the treasury and bave informed him that in view of tho fact that the judiciary committee of the house bas discredited tbe last issue of bonds, and because of the further fact that' interested persons have constantly raised questions as to the validity of tbe issue, tbe bankers ot tbe metropolis bave found it impossible to get as mucb for the bonds which tbey bought as paid for tbem.

It would be utterly impossible, these gentlemen declare, to float a new loan on a basis of par for a 3 per cent, bond. Secretary Carlisle fears the result of his failure to float a new loan upon terms as favorable as tbe last, and for this reason it is said at the treasury department that there is no immediate probability of a new issue of bonds. Tbi statement, "however, is not made with authoritative emphasis, but it is now pretty well understood tbat if the total cash balance in the can be maintained at anything near $100,000,000 no bonds will be sold until after tbe 1st of August. In tbe meantime the department is straining every nerve towards keeping down expenditures in all possible directions, in, tbe hope tbat economy will overcome ctbe falling off in the receipts of the government.

God knows many more extortions will be wrung from the unwilling hands of the 1 Senator Fetter followed Hill in support of free coal. Senator Vest said he understood that Hill opposed tbe bill on account of its income tax features.

Hill's purpose, be thought, was to elicit some statement he could use in fighting the bill. Vest declared that if tbe platform demanded free ooal aud be could get only a reduction of 33 cents he would take it. Senator Cbandlr expressed an opinion on tbe "serene confidence" felt by tbe Nova Hcotia syndicate, with which Whitney is connected, that when tbe bill came out of roafarence, coal would be ou the free list. There was. he- declared, some understanding with somebody.

senator rim declared tnat be opposed certain features of tbe bill, tbe socialistic and popullstlc income tux in particular, but no one. be declared, had a rizbt to way be opposed -the bill aud was seeking to compart its defeat. Senator Faulkner, democrat, of West Virginia, contended that tbe democratic platform had beeu for 'freer' rw material, aud not for "free" raw material, and had been correctly interpreted by Cleveland in bis letter of acceptance. 0 c- Perkins explained that be should refraiu from voting on this paragraph Le-cause he bad a personal interest iu coal iuines on tbe Pacific coast. A vote was then tAken on Hill's amendment and it lost.

7 to 51. Senators Allen, Kyle and Peifer, populists, Hill aud Irhy, democrats, and Hansbrouirh and Washburn, republicans, votiug iu favor of the motion. Senator Hansbrough moved that a proviso be added to tbe paragraph placing bituminous coal on tbe dutiable list to admit coal free of duty to countries imposing do import duty on coal exported from tbe T'nited States.

On tbad of March. 1SJ91, President Harrison approved an act of congress to "Incorporate the National Conservatory of Music of America." That act seems to have been entirely forgotten. It provided tbat the incorporators should have the power to found, establish and maintain a natipnal conservatory of music within the District, ot Columbia for tbe education of citizens ot the United States and such other persons as the trustees may deem proper in all branches of music. A day or two ago a member was requested to introduce a similar bill to incorporate a conservatory of like character, and be discovered this act. Tbe incorporators were Mrs.

Jeannette M. Thurber. William G. Choate. Cha uneey M.

Depew, Abram S. Hewitt, Frank Lawrence, William Pinckney Whyte, Enoch Pratt. Fits Hugh Lee, Wm. H. Payne, Olive Risley Seward.

John Jay Hay, S. P. Lang-ley, Anthony Pollock, C. R. P.

Rogers and John H. Schofleld. It was expected tbat this great array of men and women, whose names are household words, would establish here at tbe national capital a conservatory which should be scarcely second to any in tbe world. In fact, at the time the act went through it was announced by the friends of Mrs. Thurber that the arrangements had all been perfected for securing the very best talent iu tbe world for instructors.

But three years have passed and not a single step bas been taken. When the act was inadvertently dugup the other day the member who wanted to secure the passage ot a similar bill went to the fra triers of the last one. end they had entirely forgotten that sucn a conservatory had ever been contemplated. Siatfe then, however, correspondence has been conducted between the incorporators named in the act and some members of the bouse, and it is said tbat tbe result has been that assurances have been received that immediate steps will be taken to secure tbe fulfillment of the terme of tbe act cited. Washington may therefore have a conservatory of music within a year or two, after all.
