1880, 1868, 253 acres of public lands and
el2, 1851 acres private land claims. The great
Increase Of 725, 347 acres is attributed to the
operation of the act OF March 8, 1879, which
led TO a great increase in the number Of ap-
plications by private individuals for
public surveys. Disposals of public
lands during the year: Cash entries, $50, $40
acres; homestead entries, 6,045,51O acres;

The Government has convened a
conference of Russian cotton manufacturers
nj Moscow to discuss the threatened crisis in
the industry. At many Of the Moscow mills
many Of the operatives have been reduced 10
per cent. The recent reduction Of 10 per
cent at KhludefTs great mill at Smolsk pro-
duced a four-days' strike and riot there.
Similar outbreaks are apprehended else
where if wages are reduced, as the failure Of
the harvest has doubled the price Of food.

CONSIDERABLE excitement has been
caused in political circles by the publication
of an alleged interview between
Gen. Grant and the Rev. C. H.
Fowler, in which Gen. Grant
speaks somewhat disparagiIgly Of Gen.
Hancock. The latter, in an interview with a
newspaper correspondent, said he could not
believe Gen. Grant to be guilty Of the
discourtesy to a brother officer attrib-
uted to him in the publication referred to,
but in case he should be assured that the
statements referred to were the utterances
of Gen. Grant, he should not long neglect to
give the public his side Of the questions at
issue.

Mr. Faulkner, from Aver, and Mr..
A. Vartney, the Master Car-builder

is Injurious to the whole people to permit

State is far less. The greater part of the
freight money helps to enrich other com

Washington, 1.-THE principal
interest at the capital, to-day, cen
tered in the Presidents long.expecsed
litt of nominations for the foreign
missions, Cor the governship of Utah,
and for census supervisors. They
bad been carefully guarded and were,
for the most part, surprise, not
only 10 the general public, but to the
greater portion of the senators and
representatives, 1t will be noticed
that the foreign appointments are all
promotions of experienced officers
now in the diplomatic or consular
service, Lowell being transferred to
London from Madrid, and Foster to
St. Petersburg from Mexico. and
Morgan to Mexico from Egypt,
where he is now consul-2eneral.
General Murray, whose name ia
sent in as governor OF Utah, entered
the federal army in 1861 as a boy, IS
yeara OF age, and two years afterwards
becams major of the Third Kentucky
Cavalry, then commanded by ths
heroic Colonel Jackson. Remaining
constantly in service throughout the
war, be lose to the rank
of brlgadier general, and commanded
a brigade of cavalry under General
Sherman In the march to the sea. "
He was United States marshal for
Kentucky for several yesrs, under
appointment OF President Grant, and
is now the principal proprietor OF the
Louisville Commercial, perhaps the
leading republican paper of the
southern LtStes. He ia personally
very handsome, but aside from his
eoldietly dash and fine presence, has
not made any particular impression
among those who know him IN Wash
ington. On the contrary, he appe ars
to be generally considered man of
large personal vanity and small in
telleciual ability. The President, in
making the appointment, has over
ruled the almost unanimous wish OF
his cabinet for Governor Emery's
retention, and has created great dis
satisfaction among the friends OF Tari-
Gus other candidates to whom he bad
given great encouragement as re-
Gently as last Saturday.
To-dsy's nominations for ceDsus
supervisors nave already ELECTED many

/ part of tbs democrats in Congress,
Who claim one-half OF those appoint
ments should have been democratic.
On rough estimate it would appear
that the proportion OF democratic
names is from one fourth to one-lhird
of the total number, and there is
some talk of making a strong fight in
the Senate to obtain q larger proper
ton; the list ia nevertheless likely to
be confirmed. Three OF these ap-
pointmenis for California, namely,
Langley, Hardenburgh and Dana,
were made on the communications
OF the republican members of the
delegation. Dunn was nominated &t
