Saturday, Feb. 5, 1887. 
The Bill for the purchase of £19,000 worth 
of seeds for the Texas sufferers lias passed both 
Houses and awaits the President’s signature 
to become law. The Texas Legislature is ap¬ 
propriating <100,000 for their relief.. “Sunset” 
Cox’s health continues to improve. .The House 
favors the establishment of civil government in 
Alaska, and the Territory is likely soon to be 
organized.Senator Ingall’s vigorous twist¬ 
ing of the Lion’s tail has made him loads of 
Irish friends... .... The Tv. of L. have estab¬ 
lished a new co-operative colony 50 miles from 
Memphis, Term., and call it Tennessee City. 
It consists of 130,000 acres,divided into 40-acre 
lots, and it is 3,000 feet above the sea level. 
Eight hours with fair wages will be the rule.. 
......The electoral campaign is red-hot just 
across the border: the “ins” and “outs” are 
fighting for the offices as fiercely as ever the 
same classes have fought on this side of the 
line. The Grits, or Liberals, who have been 
out for years, seem hitherto to have the ad¬ 
vantage, but Sir John A. Macdonald, the 
Conservative leader, has a mighty long head, 
great “magnetism.” and as he has chosen the 
moment for battle, he may pull his party 
through successfully. Already Edmund 
Blake, the Liberal leader, denies that, if suc¬ 
cessful his party will make an v change in the 
“protective |K>licy” of the Dominion. Prophe¬ 
cies and “roorbacks” are as diverse and nu¬ 
merous as here .... Those British fishing 
schooners captured by the Corwin in Alaskan 
waters are to be released, as they were hunt¬ 
ing for seals outside the three-mile limit. The 
owners are to receive damages. 
All the Dominion papers, without difference 
of party, insist that Canada is right in her in¬ 
terpretation of the treaty of 1*18, and declare 
that, retaliation or no' retaliation, Canada 
won't yield au inch. British cruisers are to 
help Canada to guard the fisheries next sea¬ 
son .. .The House has “considered” the Ed¬ 
munds and Belmont retaliation hills several 
times; but hitherto done nothing more. The 
anti-Canadian feeling is gaining ground here. 
The need of a powerful fleet and proper coast 
defences is agitated all over the count ry. 
....Plenty of “weather” und tbftt of (hemost 
contemptible kind all over the country for 
most of the week. Fierce blizzard causing 
untold misery t,o people, and great mortality 
among the live stock in the Northwest. 
Many people frozen to death. Slush, rain, 
mud, snow, thunder, sleet, frost and nil other 
sorts of wretchedness in nearly fill other parts 
of the country. A splendid chance for pneu¬ 
monia.The organization of a large new na¬ 
tional bank in this city, with Secretary Man¬ 
ning as President; and IJ. S. Treasurer C. N. 
Jordan as Vice-President has just taken nlace. 
Both resigned yesterday. Capital £8.000.- 
000 to£4.000,000: narat\ The Western National 
Bank; to begin business Ma v 1 next.The 
House Committee ou the invalid pensions has 
reported strongly against the Logftn-Blair 
Pension Bill, and it is hardly likely to pass. 
It would establish a precedent, for pensions 
to the'widows of* 35iT Major-Generals, and 
there is no pretence that it is needed to relieve 
“distress”. Walt Whitman the “al¬ 
leged” poet is likely to get a pension of $35 a 
month—oh. no. not for writing abstruse vers¬ 
es; but for faithfully nursing wounded soldiers 
during the war.. -. ... 
_The Montreal Carnival, which begins over 
a week lienee, promises to be specially bril¬ 
liant this year. Pres. Cleveland lias been in¬ 
vited to attend, and Senator Eustis says he 
has accepted the invitation—but it’s very 
likely he’ll be detained by “stress of official 
business.”. Decrease of public debt in 
January, £ 9 , 515 . 887 ; decrease of taxation. 0... 
....Here “boodle” Alderman, “Honest” John 
O’Neill, was convicted as a bribe taker by the 
jury on the first ballot after being out three- 
quarters of an hour. Case to be appealed, of 
course—in vain most likely.Southern 
Congressmen and others want Uncle Sam to* 
refund the <67,000,000 cotton tax collected 
just after the war.., .The President has 
signed the Mexican Pension Bill, giving £8 a 
month to all who were enlisted for 60 days 
during the Mexican war, or In their unmar¬ 
ried widows. There is a large number of 
widows, many of them quite young. Many 
girls have married moribund veterans to in¬ 
herit their pensions. Estimated outlay £4,500. 
000 a year.Dishonest, bank officers are still 
flocking to that convenient refuge of rascal¬ 
dom north of the lakes and the St. Lawrence. 
.Representative T, J. Campbell, 
of New York introduced n bill in the House 
Monday increasing to £15,000 the salaries of 
the Supremo Court Justices and the Cabinet 
officers.... --A bill was introduced in the 
Michigan Legislature Jan. 26 permitting sol¬ 
diers’ wives to enter the State Soldiers’ Home. 
.A resolution for the submission to 
popular vote of a prohibition amendment to 
the State Constitution at the coming spring 
election has been adopted by both Houses of 
the Michigan Legislature. 
The new Liberal Premier in the Province of 
Quebec finds not a cent left in the Treasury 
by his Conservative predecessor; but there 
are lots of unpaid bills. Even the valuable 
plate known to belong to the office is said to 
have disappeared.. .The Bill giving a 
clerk to each Congressman at public expense 
won’t pass at this session; but it is sure to 
“bob up” serenely again at the next .. 
Senator Culluni wants £100,000 for surveys of 
the Hennepin Canal, to be paid whenever Illi 
nols cedes to the General Government all 
rights and titles to the improvements now ex¬ 
isting in the Illinois River and so much of the 
Michigan Canal as may be required by the 
United States.Cashier Baldwin, late of 
the Mechanics’ National Bank, of Trenton, N. 
J., who was sentenced five years ago to 15 
years in the penitentiary for misappropriate 
ing bank funds amounting to £2.500,000. was 
discharged from custody the other day be¬ 
cause the “fool” judge that sentenced him for 
three terms of five years each, did so in a way 
which the Supremo Court decides to have 
been illegal. Had he stolen £250 instead of 
£2,500,000, he’d have to serve out bis full term. 
. Governor Pierce, of Dakota, has re¬ 
signed. Judge Church will succeed him. 
The elections of members for the U. S. Senate 
leave that body very dose for the next two 
years. O f t he 25 Sena tors to he elected the Re¬ 
publicans have now elected Joseph R, Hawley, 
of Conn.; Eugene Hale, of Maine; Henry L. 
Dawes, of Mass.; Francis B. Stock bridge, of 
Miehigau; Cushman K. Davis, of Minnesota; 
William Stewart, of Nevada; Frank Hiseock, 
of New York; John Sherman, of Ohio: M. S. 
Quav, of Pennsylvania; Nelson W. Aldrich, 
of Rhode Island; George F. Edmunds, of 
Vermont; Algernons. Paddock, of Nebraska. 
and Pliiletus Sawyer, of Wisconsin. This 
gives them 39 members (including Riddleber- 
ger. who generally votes with the Republi¬ 
cans on political questions!, or one more than 
half the Senate. The Democrats have elected 
George Hearst, of California: George Gray, 
of Delaware, A. P. Gorman, of Maryland; 
James Z. George, of Mississippi, F. B. Cock¬ 
rell. of Missouri, J. W, Daniel, of Virginia; 
W. C. Whitthorue and W. B. Bate, of Tenn.; 
David Tiirpie. of Indiana, and J. H. Reagan, 
of Texas, and Democrats will be chosen in 
Florida, West Virginia and prohably New 
Jersey. This will give them a total of 37, 
The transfer of Mr. Riddleberger’s vote to 
them would tnak * the Senate a tie, but this is 
hardly likely. It is reported that the claim* of 
Senators Hearst and Turpie will be contested. 
.The big strike of coal and freight 
handlers in New York, Brooklyn and Jersey 
City still continues. Thousands of other K. 
of L. in other industries have been called out. 
Some refuse to handle coal or freight previ¬ 
ously handled by non-union men; others re¬ 
fuse to work in factories where coal handled 
by non-uniou men is used fr.steam or beating 
purposes. Three thousand union carpet mak¬ 
ers struck on Thursdaj r because non-union 
coal was burned in the works; no other kind 
could be got. Lois of similar cases, Owing 
to the strike coal is scarce and high over a 
wide section of New England, also. Over 39,- 
000 men on strike; double that number idle on 
account, of strike, for owing to the strike of 
100 in some shops 200 are often thrown idle, 
and, moreover, many factories have had to 
shut down from lack of coals. Over 1,500 po¬ 
licemen guarding the river front here. Strik¬ 
ers frequently strike isolated “scabs” where- 
ever found, with fists, bludgeons, stones, etc. 
Railroad and other employers bring help from 
as far north as Boston and Bnffalo; west, as 
St. Louis, aud south, us Washington, and from 
much of the intermediate country; but they 
are nearly all “green” and many are persuad¬ 
ed or frightened into idleness ou arriving here. 
Employers say the strike is over; K. of L sav 
it is begun, and that they have their best 
cards to play yet. The commercial world 
urges arbitration. Commerce greatly imped¬ 
ed aud delayed.An infernal dynamite 
machine exploded on the Old Dominion line 
steamer Guvandotte some hours after she left 
this port, wrecking her so badly that, she had 
to return. Several injured; nobody killed. 
Reward of £5,000 offered for the miscreant 
wlm endaugered lives of passenger and crew 
ou the ocean—supposed to be a striker or an 
agent ot strikers. Lots of butchers, bakers, 
restaurant keepers, etc., etc., giving liberal 
help to the strikers; tnuuy landlords forgiving 
rent while men are “out,.”.The Presi¬ 
dent signed the Inter-State Commerce Bill 
yesterday. Great, struggle for the places of 
the five Commerce Commissioners provided 
for by it. Salary, £ 1.50(1 a year. Not more than 
three must, belong to any one political party.. 
.... For some weeks there’s been a wide 
world too much fuss in the papers all over the 
country about the case of Dr. McGlynn, a Ro¬ 
man Catholic priest of this city, who. contra¬ 
ry to the doctrine of his Church, has accepted 
Henry George’s theory that private property 
in laud is wrong; and, contrary to the discip¬ 
line of his Church, has persisted, against the 
remonstrances of his superiors, in puhlieally 
teaching the justice of that theory, thereby 
devoting to secular matters time and effort 
that ought to have been devoted to religious 
affairs. Apart from his ecclesiastical obliga¬ 
tions, as a citizen of this Republic he has a 
perfect right to his opinions and to a free ex¬ 
pression of them; as u Roman Catholic priest, 
he must obey his superiors in matters of faith 
and ecclesiastical discipline. In a full state¬ 
ment of Ins rase published yesterday, lie reaf¬ 
firms his land views, aud denies the right, of 
Bishop, Propaganda, or the Pope to order 
him to Rome, there to submit, or justify his 
views. He Is already suspended and will prob¬ 
ably Vie “disfrocked.” Many of bis congrega¬ 
tion sympathize with him, ami they and oth¬ 
ers are raising a fund for his support. He is 
perfectly right as a citizen,but quite wrong as 
a priest. It seems to bathe “silly season” with 
many of the newspapers.. 
_A Chicago girl—Nina Van Zandt—fell 
in love with condemned Anarchist Spies, and 
was prevented from marrying him in bis cell 
by the stern refusal of the Klipriff to permit 
her to visit him, Last Saturday the precious 
pair were married by proxy by a sympathetic 
“justice,” bis brother acting in his place. 
Some say the marriage is legal, others say 
no. A bill has been introduced in the Illi¬ 
nois Legislature declaring the marriage of 
any body while in prison void. Nina is sell¬ 
ing an autobiography of Spies, having just 
issued a first, edition of 25,000 copies. Her 
folks arc well-to-do and consent to her folly. 
The Anarchists’ appeal for a fresh trial is 
still undecided. . 
... .The Government, is seeking information as 
to how many troops, with abundant war ma¬ 
terial, the railroads can transport, to different 
parts of the Canadian frontier, especially 
along the Western lakes. Investigation also 
shows that there are in the country now 92.- 
000 members of the organized militia, so far 
heard of, and 7,000,000 “available companies 
which are not part of the militia”—nearly 
1,000,000 more than in previous years. The 
War Department is about to furnish better 
arms and equipments.At 10 o’clock 
this morning while the Springfield express was 
crossing a trestle-work bridge fiO feet high at 
Woodstock, two miles above White River 
Junction, Vt., two passenger ears and two 
sleepers jumped the track and plunged down 
into the river. In 20 minutes cars and bridge 
were burned. Loss of lives variously estimat¬ 
ed at from lfi to 40; 30 known to have been se¬ 
riously injured....

The flour and grain received in New York 
City last year, reducing flour to its equivalent 
in wheat, aggregated about 180.900,0(H) bush¬ 
els, being 4.273,000 bushels in excess of the to¬ 
tal received during 1885. Of this enormous 
quantity the New York canals delivered, iu 
tiie seven months comprising the season of 
navigation, 44,000,000 bushels, or little more 
than one-third, against a trifle less than 30,- 
000,000 bushels iu the corresponding time a 
year previously. In the summer months of 
last year the railroads only delivered some 
4,172,000 bushels more than did the canals, 
The flaxseed market at Chicago and 
throughout the West has a steady upward 
tendency. The crop is one that is constantly 
growing in importance by reason of the de- 
niftiid for linseed oil, aud the value of the lin¬ 
seed cake or meal as a food for cattle after 
the oil has been extracted. The 1886 crop will 
probably aggregate about nine million bush¬ 
els, which is considerably ill excess of the 1885 
production. The receipts of flaxseed at Chi¬ 
cago during 1884 were a trifle under three 
million bushels; but for the past two years 
they have aggregated nearly six million bush¬ 
es auuually, or 6,980,925 bushels in.’85, and 5,- 
18,000 bushels in ’80 of which 5,097,000 bushels 
were “No. 1720,500 bushels “rejected,” and 
100,500 bushels “no grade.” As there were 
793,077 bushels left over from 1885, this makes 
a total of 7.711.077 bushels for the vear. There 
were shipped during the vear 5 40ft. 160 bush¬ 
els. and on hand Jau 1, 188(1, 435,325 bushels, 
which leaves 1,875,325 bushels used in Chi¬ 
cago. 
The Western packing points have handled 
about 215.000 liogs during the past week, 
against a like number the preceding week, 
and 245,000 for corresponding time last year, 
and from November 1 atotal of 5.380,000 hogs, 
against 5.000,000 a year ago. making a falling 
off of 229.000 in number. In addition to the 
seven large cities there are now twenty or 
more points operating, over half of which do 
a summer packing business. The indications 
now' arc* that the February packing will equal 
that of corresponding time last year, and that, 
the total for the season will be approximately 
(U00.000 hogs against 0,300.000 last year. This 
would leave a shortage of 200,000 hogs for the 
winter packing season this year over last. As 
predicted here last week, there has been an ad¬ 
vance in the price of hogs at. all the packing 
centers; and a further advance is probable. 
Losses of hogs i u 1886n.ro estimated by the 
Department, of Agriculture as 2,538,180 under 
six months old, and 2.184.348 over this age. 
making a total of 4.722.478. or 10.3 per cent of 
the supply, and representing an aggregate 
value of £14,715.000. The Department report 
says: “A loss of less than 4 per cent in swine 
i« not regarded as an abnormal mortality.” 
The largest, rates of loss are in the Southern 
States.
