"Yes-5OO TONS" was the answer.

The Proposed New Public Land System.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. q,

WASHINGTON ID. c., Feb. Is.
President Hayes to-day transmitted to both
Houses of Congress the report and draft of
the bill submitted by the Public Land Com
mission appointed under the act of March 3,
1879. The President in transmitting these
documents, says: "The subject of the report,
and accompanying bill, is of such importance
that respectfully commend it to the prompt
and earnest consideration of Congress-" The
public lands are to be divided toto four
classes, VIZ, irrigable, paSturage, timber and
mineral and each class is to be disposed of
under laws especially applicable thereto. The
bill provides, in regard to homestead en-
tries, that the term of residence required
shall be reduced from five to three years,
abOlishes the communication system, and ex-
tends the homestead system to settlements
upon surveyed lands of all classes except
mineral and timber lands. Provision is made
for "cOlOny hOmeSteads," whereby twenty
or more persons may dwell together in q vii
lage and acquire title to a corresponding
number of homestead claims by cultivating
them without being required to reside upon
them separately. The Commission recon-
mends a sweeping repeal of existing mineral
laws, with a reservation in favor of all vested
rights. and an allowance of sufficient period
to be fixed by Congress within which possess
DRY rights must be perfected or be thereafter
barred.

Mr.. EDISON denies emphatically all
discouraging reports regarding the
progress of his electric light. He says
"My experiments have been crowned
with perfect success, and the CONNER
cial value of the electric light for illum-
mating either the streets or dwell
ings is established beyond ques-
tion.'' The difficulty at first ex-
perienced in the breaking of the
lamps, caused by the expansion of
the wires, has nearly, if not entirely,
been overcome, and within one year
he promises to have the light in success
full operation in New York City and
elsewhere. AS to the cost, Mr.. Edison
believes he can furnish it at rate
equal to fifty cents per thousand feet of
gas. He is now constructing at Menlo
Park an entire station" the appur-
tenances of which, after being practical
ly tested there, will be removed to New
York.

The late Jules Favre, while most
eloquent pleader, is said to have hardly
ever won case. For all his biting wit he
was man of very delicate sensibilities
"a good-hearted, warm-blooded man;
quite sentimentalist, in fact, who could
shed tears at will. Judges smiled de-
risively at one another when they saw
him bring out his pocket-handkerchief
and dry the drops (which coursed down
his innocent nose in piteous chase" but
the public-who perceived that his eyes
were really red and swollen when he
hurried out of court, as if overpowered
with emotion-regarded M. Favre as a
man of generous stuff.

Melikoff as Chief. The Imperial ukase,
defining the powers of the Commission,
declares that "the head of the Commits

dignation felt in Russia and throughout
Europe at the attemps on the life of the
Emperor, he declares the Government
is compelled to adopt effectual meas

hesitate to take the most stringent
measures for the punishment of GRIM

hand to tranquilize and protect the we'll
intentioned part of society. He hopes
for the cooperation of all honest men,
and begs the population to await the
future with calmness, and to disregard
malicious and frivolous rumors.

THE New York Republican State Con-

Resolutions were reported declaring the
denomination of Gen. Grant for Presi-
dent to be of urgent importance, and in
structing the delegates from New York
to use their most earnest and united ef-
forts to secure his nomination. A mo-
ton to strike out the name of Gen. Grant
and insert that of James G.. Blaine,
which was subsequently amended so as
to leave the delegation unpledged, was
opposed by Senator Conkling in a
speech of some length, and was
rejected-18O yeas to 217 nays.
A final motion was then made
that in case Grant is not nominated at
Chicago, the delegation be instructed to
vote as unit for James G. Blaine.
Senator Conkling moved to lay this mo-
ton on the table, ard it was so ordered.
THE Vermont Republican State Con-

The Union Pacific Railway Company,
on the 9th, by order of Jay Gould, took
forcible possession of the telegraph bust
ness along their lines, by abruptly sew

The American Union Telegraph Com

Western Union Company own the lines,
as claimed by them, by virtue
of their contract with the Union

Western Union Company had already
obtained an injunction restraining the
Union Pacific Company from interfer-
ing with their lines, and an almost end

the proceedings already taken.
