About the Funding Ri1l.

In Committee OF the Whole last night the
Senate adopted the funding bill, With the rate
OF interest and some OF the other main features
as IL passed the House. Several changes were
made, but not such as are likely to raise q con-
fiiCJ between the Two houses The finance
committees amendment to increase the rate OF
interest on the ponds 10 81 per cent was re-
jected and per cent determined upon. The
Carlisle amendment making the new bonds the
only ones receivable as security for National
bank circulation was retained in the bill, the
finance committee being also overruled on this
point. The committees amendments, making
the interest payable semi. annually, making
the bonds five -twenties instead OF five-tens and
increasing the allowance for the expense OF
preparing and disposing Of the bonds from one
quarter OF one per cent to one-half of one per
cent were agreed to. The bill WILL no doubt,
pass the Senate In the shape that it left the
Committee OF the Whole, though the advocates
OF three and half per cent interest will
make one more determined effort TO carry their
point The lower rate OF interest was adopted
last evening by vote 80 to %,
only fifty-hve Senators voting but mum.
Der or pairs were announced, and OF those
Senators not represented In the vote at all, at
least half favor the three per cent. There are
grave fears expressed by those who stand for
the higher rate OF interest of the tmpracti-
Cability OF floating three per cent bond, but
inasmuch as a majority of the two houses
decide ID favor OF the latter, nothing but veto
can prevent its being tried All the argu-
ments presumably. that could be offered In
support OF a three-and- a-half per cent and
against three per cent bond were submitted
before the vote was taken in the Senate and
therefore there is no earthly reason to suppose
that any Of the majority size On this question
can be Induced TO change their minds. Seven
teen republicans. four democrats and one In
dependent (MT. Davis, of Ill., voted for the
three and-a-half per cent interest. while
twenty eight democrats and five republicans
voted for three per cent This would indicate
that the sentiment OF the republican party is
largely In favor Of the higher interest, ana. II
that be true, party pressure may be brought
to bear on the President TO veto the bill on she
ground that IL Is a somewhat risky expert
ment. veto would necessitate an extra ses
sion OF Congress- very likely, as II would be
next TO impossible 10 get a new funding bill

How His Government Views the Situa-

Efn

covered, Etc.
LONDON, Oct. 2S.- Gladstone in course of a
reply to an address presented at Knowesly said
the point was whether Ireland is to be gov
erned by laws made by parliament or laws
known to nobody and written nowhere eX-
cept in minds of few persons, and enforced
by an illegal arbitrary and self appointed as
ssciation, which sought to override things
and attempted to question between law and
chaos. No fewer than thirty thousand appli-
cation forms have been required under the
land act he said, and this led him to antlcipat-
ed future peace and prosperity.

The Iron Mask,

Considering the weather there was an ex-
eellent audience at the Opera House last even
ing TO witness the production of Dumas ia.
nous tragic drama "The Iron Mask by the
Bryton- Carver company. The drama abounds
in thrilling situations, some of them a trifie
overstrained, but all sensational In the highest
degree. The version presented last night,
however, is hardly as good in some particu-
lars as other translations and adaptations.
The actors generally acquitted themselves
with credit. Mr.. Brytor, who assumed the
role of CASTOR, shows evidence of careful
study, and has greatly improved since his last
appearance in st. Paul. He has no doubt a
brilliant future before him. The rest of the
cast was about an average level-neither very
good nor very bad.
The performance will be repeated at the
matinee this afternoon and again this evening.

A Denial Of Interested Motives-Mr. Tyler
Explains the Land Office Business.
To the Editor of the Globe.
In your issue of October %, find the fol-
lowing paragraph:
1t is due Judge Cox to state that he claims that the
charges are the offspring of personal Spite He al
leges that o. B. Tyler, of the sgners Of the me-
moral to the legislature asking his impeachment,
prosecuted at his instance for land office trans
action, and only escaped punishment by the claim
that his ofense was one against the United States,
and not In contravenon of the laws of the state of
Minnesota. he further states that 8. Rogers the
other sigAer, offered to lead gang at Marshall, in
Lyon county, who would put him (Cox) into the riv-
er, and hold him there until life was extinct.
Rev. s. ]. Rogers is an esteemed clergyman
of the Congregational church, the peer of any
man in Minnesota in all that goes to the max
ing up of gentleman and good citizen, and
by him l am authorized to say that he never
offered to do any such thing as is alleged by
Judge Cox,
bear tie Judge no ill-will. To make the
charge was the most unpleasant public
duty 1 have ever been called upon
to perform, and was only undertaken at
the urgent solicitation of many of the best
men in this judicial district.
His allegation that was arrested at his in
stance, and only escaped punishment by the
laws of the United States, and not against the
laws of Minnesota, is wholly unwarranted by
the facts. The case alluded to grew out of
an effort of the receiver of the land office at
New Ulm, in 1876, to have me wrested from
my position as register. A charge of "gross
fraud'-an Offense wholly unknown to the
laws of the United States or of Minnesota
was trumped up against me, was arrested,
taken before justice of the peace, and, on a
full hearing, promptly discharged. The next
step in the proceedings was an attempt
to have me indicted by the grand
jury of Brown county. In this
they failed las signally as before the JUS
tice. A civil suit was then commenced in the
circuit court of Brown county, and when it
came up for trial was thrown out of court by
Judge Hammond. The case was then taken to
the United States court, where it was put over
one or two terms, and finally,on motion of the
attorney for the prosecution, stricken from the
docket. In the meantime, with full knowl-
edge of all the facts in the case, the commits
sioner of the general land office had summa-
rily dismissed the prime mover in the proceed
ings from office, and appointed me to sec
ond term. In the language of ithe Dispatch, /
felt that had been fully vindicated. With
Cox had no cause of quarrel. He was SIM
ply the final attorney for the prosecution,
trying to earn his fee. c. B. TYLER.

ing their plans, and Mr.. Ross desiring to have
