Retiring Of Greenbacks.

cans very generally agree with the great
body of Democrats in condemning that por.
ton which counsels retirement OF Green
backs, and it Is perfectly evident that the
president advice lin rthis particular will
have no effect during the existence OF the
present Congress, except possibly to MAKE
party capital for the Democrats.
Pacific Coast Members.
The Pacific Coast members Of Congress
find very little ground for encouragement
in the presidents statement concerning the
negotiations with the Chinese government
in regard to the subject Of restricting Mon
golian immigration.
Terrible Explosion.
EAuc1A1RE, Wis, Dec. 1.-The boiler in
the Eauclaire lumber colpany's planning
uiil exploded with terrific force this after
noon, killing Engineer Haskins, Fireman
Hosplin, and teamster named Gallagher.
The force OF the explosion was 80 great as to
be felt all ever the city, and fragments OF
the wreck were scattered for blocks distant.

jured. A Jury is holding All inquest over the

Denver Land Company.
DENVER, Col, Dec. LIN the United
States Court to-day Sidney A. Grant, who
was connected with the so-called "Denver
Land Company" which has been advertis-
ing lots for sale in North Denver OF 81, was
found guilty of misusing the mails, and

The Work of the Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.--Senators and rep
resentatives to-day in discussing the outlook
for the session generally agree that it is
likely 10 extend into next Summer; that no
very great amount of legislation will be &C.
complished, but that each party will be kept
busy watching the other and taking mp as
good position as possible for the presiden-
tial year. The policy OF the dominant ma
iority in both houses in regard to such mat
ters as the proposed renewal Of last years
contest over the election laws, and upon
financial measures like Warmers silver bill
will not be settled in haste, nor without
mature caucus deliberation concerning tn m.
It is NOT likely, then, that any indefinite
forecast can be made respecting these sub
iects until after the Christmas recess. The
annual appropriation bills are not expected
to be reported very early this session, but
the House will he occupied for some time
with the discussion of thorough revision
of its rules soon to be reported from Speaker
Randall's committee, and VITA contested
election cases--16 in ah--which Chairman
Springer promises to bring before the House
for action this session with much greater
promptitude than has been unfortunately
tho custom in previous sessions of Congress.
Another subject that will be brought for
ward for speedy action, unless resignation
7orestalls its main purpose, is the impeach-
raent Of Minister Seward.
The Senate will shortly receive reports
from the ingalls, and Kellogg investigations,
from the Wallace committee OF investigation
in Rhode Island and elsewhere, and prob
ably also from the Frsedmen's Bank com.
fnittee.
1t is apparent, therefore. that neither
branch of Congress lis in danger of running
short of subjects for consideration, even il
the transaction of ordinary legislative bust
ness be wholly deferred for month or two
