How Mines Are Worked,

chairs for the evening

An En- clish Land Bill.

LONDON, Oct 3.-The Pail Mall Gazette this
afternoon sketches the draft of land bill for En-
gland, which has been finally considered by a
special committee of the farmers alliance. The
bill aims at establishing complete security for the
evctions; the right of tenant to sell his improve
ments in open market with provision that the
landlord must accept as tenant for seven years
at the same rent as that OF the outgoing tenant the
person who purchases, and the creation of a land
courtin every district for settlement of questions
concerning rents and all other disputes The
Gazette thinks the bill suggestive, and says if the
draft is supported by a majority of farmers
throughout the country, and is vigorously used as
means of agtating for reform, the day when par
lament must vote urgency for the English land
bill is not very far off.

heavy rains north of here have raised the Wis
consin river beyond all previous floods at Wau-
sau and Merrill The boom at Merrill has
broken and it is rumored one saw mill was car

this cannot be verified The railroad bridge

is carried away; the track in many places is
under several feet of water. At Wausau
100000 feet of logs have broken loose and
a few houses been forced from their founda-
ton. but the damage thus far is light and the
water is reported at q standstill. The bridge
at Mosinee has been carried out and at Cedar
Creek l,2OOfeet Of the railroad is under water.
Passengers and mails were transferred by boat
to-day. Every precaution possible is being
taken at Stevens Point to guard their boom and
dams, but the worst is feared. In Grand

Jones, accompanied by Gen. Grant, called on
the president and were engaged in converse
ton with him for over an hour. 1t was stated
by friend Of all parties at late hour tonight
that the appointment Of the secretaryship
OF state had been offered to Gen. Grant at
the interview and that he himself suggested
that his reply should be awaited until after the
senate met Senator Jones was questioned
about accepting the position of secre-
ttary of the treasury, and said
he had declined it, saying ne
would not undertake the hard labor required
in the position and that his resignation from
the senate would make q Democratic major
lty. 1t was inferred from sub
sequent conversation that Window would
be retained Both Jones and Grant favored
him. All idea of Hamilton Fish for the State
department was given up, because Of his age,
the president said he was somewhat at a
loss as to Blaine's successor. He will choose
a New York man, some one in thorough accord
with his own views, and if possible, in
close relation with himself. Mr.. Brady.

evening to see the president, but was only en-
abled to leave his card. Attorney General
