THE Republican Senatorial Caucus,
held on the 4th, it is given out determined al
most unanimously not to abandon the posi-
ton taken with respect to the election OF

lock would be broken in some manner within
few days. E' 1ftlit'"- E-"v s.s
The Missouri State Wool Growers
Association held their second regular meet
ing at Sedalia on the 9Th. There were near
ly 100 prominent wool.growers in attend
ance, and about fifty new members were re-
ceived. The old officers were reelected. A
large number of choice blooded sheep were
on exhibition, and prizes were offered for
the best shearer and the best fleece of wool.
GEN. MCCoOK, who has been on Gen.
Sherman's staff for years, has been ordered
to join his regiment at White River, and
Chaplain Mullins has been ordered to take
charge of education in the army. The army
officers say Secretary Lincoln has expressed
the intention of revolutionizing the staff APP
pointments. He thinks some officers have
been enjoying easy berths too long, and that
it is fair to give them taste of service and
let those who have seen hard service perform
staff duty awhile.
MEANS, Democrat, has been elected
Mayor of Cincinnati, by from 1900 to 1000
majority. The remainder of the offices are
divided between the two parties. The
Gazette cast its influence for Means,
refusing to support Charles Jacob,
Jr., the Republican candidate. The
Democrats also elect their Mayors in
Columbus, O., and Dubuque, Iowa, while
the Republicans carry Sandusky, Dayton
and other smaller cities. In Toledo Ro-
meis, National, is reelected Mayor. af

A WASHINGTON dispatch of the 7th to
the Associated Press says: president Gar
field and Secretary Blaine are both annoyed
at the continuance of the Senate deadlock
and think that the nominations ought to be
confirmed without delay. They were dis
appointed at the action Of the last Republic
can caucus. Hale, Frye, ingalls,, Blair and
others think executive sessions should be
held without delay, and they will try to have
another caucus called to reverse the decision
much longer it is stated that the President
will use his power to break it. This is the
true situation.' stsg.ab Il
A WASHINGTON semi-official dispatch
says: ''The proposition made by gentle
man who attended the recent financial con-
ference in New York, namely, to extend
maturing and 6-per-eent. bonds at lower
rate of interest, is very gen rally approved
by Treasury officials with the exception Of
the Secretary, who will not express an opin.
ion on the subject), as the most feasible plan
which the Government can pursue. The
Secretary of the Treasury is not required to
give notice before calling the
outstanding 6-per.cent bonds for
redemption. These bonds amount
in the aggregate to $195, 900, 400, and are re-
deemable June 80 next, after which date
any that may be called will cease to draw in
terest. The aggregate amount of 5per cents.
redeemable May is $45S, 59O, $50. Should
this method prove successful it would not
be necessary to sell any bonds whatever.
While nothing can be said officially as to the
course to be adopted, there is good authority
for stating that this plan is receiving thorough
and the indications appear
to be in favor Of its adoption"
GLADSTONE introduced the Irish Land
bill in the House of Commons on the It'll,
by speech of over two hours
duration, at the close of which he was loud
~ cheered. The principal features Of the
bill are thus surlmarizefin Mr.. Gladstone's
speech:
"The present bill does not Introduce unreg.
ulated tenant rights. Provision is made for
it from passing into extravaganza
and protecting just rights of landlords by
bringing into fair competition the tenants
what the land is reasonably worth. The SAL
lent point and cardinal feature of the bill is
the institution of a court to take cOgniZance
of rent, and which win not be debarred from
taking cogniZance of tenure and assign
luent. There are strong grounds for making
resort to this court optional instead
of compulsory. There may be tenants who
do not desire the interference of this court
Every existing tenant might call on the court
to fix the judicial rent for fifteen wears dur
ing which there could be no change no evic-
ton, except for breach of certain things
specified. The Ulster custom will remain as
now, at the tenants option; but tenants will
have the protection of the general provisions
of the bill for controlling augmentation of
rent The power to contract out of this act
