WASHi M.TON, December 5. —The
Secretary of the Treasury transmitted
to ('on gross to day the estimates of ap
propriations required for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1885. The amount
estimated as required for all ex|<enses
of the Government is 8283,125,305,
which is 822,323,282 less than the ag
gregate of appropriations for the pres
ent fiscal year, ami $57,151,857 less
than the sum called for in the esti
mates submitted last year. The ap
propriations for the present fiscal year,
including deficiencies and miscellane
ous, aggregated $305,418,587, the esti
mates on which these appropriations
were based calling for $340,280,162.
The estimates submitted to day are
divided as follows : Civil establish
ment, 822,045,003 ; foreign intercourse,
81,-<69,601 ; military establishment,
827,130,152; naval establishment,
822,7 17,7•" 1 ; Indian affairs, $8,460,•

$2,058,111 ; miscellaneous, $25 293,-

Ihe increase in the estimates for
the naval establishment is due to pro
visions for completing the steel cruis
er-, the monitors ami a dispatch boat.
I he increase in the estimates for public
works is owing principally to an item
of $*,<>25,500 for improving rivers and
harbors and to an increase in the esti
mate- for public buildings from 81,-
-'•'l.:;<><( to $3,847,007. The increase
j in tic < -timates for the jsistal service
is to cover a deficiency in the revenues
of 82,f'58.J11.

COLUMBIA A NO HER I HEW ARE I/7HT.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—A fishing
smack having arrived at Htapleton,
L. 1., Tuesday night, having on board
' wreckage picked up off Fire Island,
belonging to pilot boat No. 8, the
5 Columbia, it iH now deemed certain
I that the Columbia was the pilot boat
. run by the steamship Alaska
r Sunday morning. All the pilot bouts
in the harbor have flags at half mast.
, The loss of the Columbia has been
confirmed at the office of the Handy
Hook pilots in Hurling Slip.
l'ilot boat No. 8 was built four
years ago by I'ollion.at a cost of 816,-
00<). She sailed from the harbor on
.Saturday last with four pilots on board
and a crew of six men. The names
. of the pilots are as follows ;
Christian Wolfe, of No. 1 13 Kut
• ledge street, Hrooklyn.
Thomas H. Metcalfe, Htapleton, H.
I I.
Ralph Noble, No. 11 1 Kleventh
t Brooklyn.
, Charles Arnold, No. 46 Van Du/.cn
, street, Stuten Island.
The name of the boatkeeper was
: Whilliam White.
, The cook was John Fortbladc. The
• crew of four men were foreigners,
■ shipped for this cruise.
Wolfe was forty-three years old and
• leaves a wife and six children. Met
calf was fifty-seven years old and
leaves a wife and two grown children
Arnold wa* thirty-five years old and
, married, and Noble was fifty-three
; years old and a widower. White, the
boatkeeper, who was twenty-three
. years old, and Fortbladc, the Nor
wegian cook, were both married.
A Mormon View of the Message

TO BREAK IT POLYOAMY.
' HALT LAKE CITY, Ctali, Dec. -
The A'ks, the Mormon organ, sax .
I iu a leading article
"The President's message wi.l be
hailed by the hireling clergy with
' | pleasure, and will receive an amount
!of popular support. It is not shown
in what way the destruction of our
local government would afTect the
'question of j<olygamy. The pluiai
! marriage* of the Mormon* are not
recognized by tie Territorial law*, and
. could not bo dissolved bv • •mnii*-
. | sinners, by edict-, by nrmie* or other
. earthly power. They are eoclcsiasti
cal, perpetual and eternal. I ntil the
Mormon* liecome recreant to their
faith with High Heaven these uni ..
will be recognized by the Almighty
Being who e*tabli*hed them tor the
benefit of Hi* js-ople and the fullnt-s*
of Hi* glory. The President's re
marks on Fiali polygamy will not add
force to hi* message nor credit to hi*
statesmanship. They are a sop to
bigots and breath to the tlarne of
j popular passion. It is doubtful if it
will have a practical bearing on con
gress. It will certainly create no com
motion among the God-fearing people
of Utah."
The same journal throw* a sop to
the Democrat#, and hope* they will
defeat the measure in the house.

ST. Loins, Dec. 6.—The tilohe-
I)rm<>crat state* that prominent parties
in Texas will soon begin a suit in the
Court of Claim* at Wa*hinglon to
recover the value of *lare* emanci*
pated during the late war. The anion
will be baaed rhiefly on certain clauses
of the State Constitution which were
approved and indorsed by congress at
the time of the Annexation of Texas,
and which, it is claimed, make the
United State# Government liable for
slave property. The plaintiff in the
case was a strong and very pronounced
Union man during the war, and the
proposed action is indorsed and will
lie pushed by some of the best lawyers
of Texas.
Further fact# regarding the suit are
as follows: It is alleged that Texas
was admitted into the Uniou tinder
peculiar and different circumstances
from any other state, and this action
will be brought in good faith on the
advice of some of the best lawyer* in
Texas and without any idea of creat
ing political excitement.

WORDS.
London, Dec. i). At a meeting of
the Common Council of Limerick to
day it was decided to confer the free
; dom of the city upon Mr. Ihiwcon, the
lord mayor of Dublin. Hcvcral Tory
and Liberal mem born violently op
posed thin proposition and attacked the
i dominant florae liule element, who
were the fathers of the resolution.
, During the di*eu.--ion, Councillor
, O'Callaghan called Councillor Daffuey
a rowdy. Councillor Caffney retorted
. by intimating that O'Callaghan was
. an inveterate blackguard ; that he had
, proved himself one at every opportun-
I ity, and that it wa- within the recol
. lection of every one pro-cut that Mr.
O'Callaghari had been recently sound
ly thrashed for indulging in his low
lived propensities.
This outburst wa- followed by a
tremendous uproar. Kverv member
shouted at the same time, and the
nearest neighbor- shook their fist- in
eaeli other's eyes. When <juiet was
restored, the vote to entertain Mr.
Dawson was passed.

MINI-TI K KERRY - \ MKIROVS VIEWS.
1'a RIK, Dec. The yellow book
i upon the Tooquiii affair was dis
tributed to the members of the < ham
her of Deputies to-day. It contains
I the Chinese memorandum which Prime
Minister ferry, on the 2*lh ult., gave
!to the ToOquin Credits Com mi tie.
The memorandum state- that France
had imposed upon Annam an unjust
treaty, ignoring the rights of China;
that Franco had invaded Annam and
manifested an intention to take Hsc-
Ninh, the key of the Chinese Empire,
etc., and that China. while
feeling compelled to resist agres
sion, appealed to the honor of France
so to act as to prevent bloodshed.
It also contains the note of M.
Ferry to the Marquis Tseng, the
Chinese ambassador, suggesting that
special power be entrusted to the mili
tary chiefs in Tonquin to effect an un
derstanding by which China could
surrender Hac-Ninh and Sontay peace
fnlly to Admiral Oourbct, and that
subsequently a definitive settlement
could be negotiated.
The Marquis Tseng, in replying to
the latter proposition, says that he re
grets that i- ranee regards the occupa
tion of Bontar and Hac-Ninh by her
troops as indispensahle to the settle
ment of the question. 11c also says
he fails to preccivc the necceasity of
France occupying three places, which,
she is aware, the Chinese hold.
