A GIGANTIC RAILROAD PROJECT.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-From a

LAWS dwarfed by the colossal project
sprung upon the house to-day by Mr..
Robinson, of Brooklyn. 1t is bill au-
thorizing the organization of the Ma
tional Labor League Company. The
bill names Francis B. Thurber, Nicho-
las Muller, Thomas Kinsella, Samuel
Barlow, William B. Grace, A. B. Null
lett, of New York, and number of
other names of New York, Illinois, Ne
braska, Iowa and California, as ma

age the proposed road. The bill fixes
the capital stock of the proposed
company at $40,000OO0. The pre-
posed road, according to the read
ing of the bill, is to run from New
York to Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha,
Colorado, Utah and to San Francisco,
and proposes to give each alternate
section of an unoccupied public lands

eminent, in view Of the depression Of
business caused by the withdrawal and
destruction of national currency, to
hire reasonable number of men to
work upon the road.
Mr.. Robinson took the precaution to
add that the bill was presented by re-
quest. Presumably the intention of
the authors is to agitate the construc-
ton of grand national highway.
which would at once solve the railroad
monopoly problem by serving as a
check upon competing lines.

state to furnish to parties applying to
him duplicates of the engraved invita-

Other reports we're to the effect that
Mr.. Chandler would be Postmaster
General and Mr.. Howe Secretary of
the Interior In short, the Cabinet
makers have been very busy. There
is good authority for saying that there
is not word of truth in these reports,

Chambers name with the Navy De-
partment. Whatever may happen
hereafter there is no reason to believe
that the President contemplates any

Cen raj Ere mOnt's Claim.
BIRDS ISLAND.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Gcn. John
G. Fremont, to-day, filed his petition
in the senate, in which he claimes to
be owner in fee simple of Alcatrasus
Island, and asks that his claim be re-
ferred to the court of claims for adjudi-
cation. Gen. Fremont sets forth that
while he was military COVER
nor of the territory Of California, in
1S47, he purchased for the United
States, the said Island, commonly called
Birds Island, lying at the inner end of
the straits, which makes the entrance
from the Pacific ocean into the bay of
San Francisco, and to which he
[ FremOnt) gave the name of
the Golden Gate. That the
United States government refused to
accept, repudiated the purchase, and
made it the subject of charge of mu-
tiny in the proceedings by court mar
tial 1S48, whereas the fact of the pur-
chase of the island was declared to be
an assumption of power OH the part of
Fremont, and act of mutiny against the
government. In 1856 Fremont "paid
the bond given for the purchase and
became the owner of said island" He
says the United States government af-
terward, finding that the island is the
key to the harbor of San Francisco and
indispensably necessary as point for
establishing lighthouse and forts, did,
without his consent or knowledge, axe
possession of and still holds the said
island as the property of the govern
ment.

WASHINGTON, March At is under
stood that President Arthur has under
consideration the appointm ent of Pres
ident Hinsdale, of Hiram college, Gar
fields old friend, to the mission at
Hawaii. 1t is claimed that he will do
this or give Hinsdale some other place
equally as good, because President
Garfield promised him an appointment,
although he never, so far as is known,
indicated what it would be. 1t is not
thought now that ex-Congressman
Monroe, of Ohio, will get place in the
consular service, but that John Wilson
will be transferred to a more congenial
place than Panama, that Mahlon
Chance will get consulate, and that
this, with Hawaii and some other mis-
sion for Hinsdale, will fill the quota for
Ohio.

RUM0RS OF TROUBLE GROWING OUT OF
THE LOGAN BILL.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Critic
SAYS: 1t is a well-known fact that con-
siderable jealousy has always existed in
the army. This suspicion was increas-
ed when it was noticed the other day
that when the bill to appoint and retire
Gen. Grant was being discussed Gen.
Sherman was an attentive listener, and
seemed to be unusually FESTIVE and
fgety. After talking to number of
gentlemen who are intimate friends of
Gen. Sherman, the Critic reporter has
come to the conclusion that Gen Sher-
man is not opposed to the appointment
and retirement of Gen. Grant, but it has
been intimated that if that bill becomes
a law and Gen. Grant is appointed
under it and confirmed by the senate,
he may refuse to be retired until he
shall reach the ,ige at which he can be
forced to retire. Should he take this
