Special Dispatch to the ln,cll,senccr.
WASn,Soros, May 1.-THE House bill
elevatiug the Agricultural bureau 10 tho
dignity Of IN Executive department hav.
Ing been referred, In the Senate, to the
committed on agricultural, was, today,
placed in tho hands OF n sub.commi.tee
composed OF Meessrs. Plumb. Blair and
Davis, Of West Virginia, who nre to ar.
range certain amendments to be made to
It. There Is no doubt that the committee
will adopt the propositions made by sena.
tor Davis, rs embodied in tho bill, In.
troduced by him in the early part Of the
session, detaching number Of bureaus
from the various Executive departments
and instituting a number Of new bureaus
to be established In connection with the
new Executive department. The bill will
be reported to the full. committee in the
coming week.. jsi5 51EAIf u z
Tho House committee on patents will
take up for hnal consideration, tomorrow,
the bill to extend tho patents upon the
siemcns regeuerator furnace and the steam
grain shovel. I'll generally believed that
the committee will report, adversely upon
both Of thesebills. The general disposition
Of Congress is against the extension OF
patents OF such general value rs these have
proven and, despite the fact that strong ar.
guments have been made by the manu-
lac,urers already using the furnace, in
favor OF an extension, the committee be-.
leve that the best interest Of the country
will be subscrved by making this invention
free to the general public. ~
Gen. Greene B. Kaum returned from II.
linois to-day. He reports the Republican
party prosperous in that State and practi-
cally, announces his candidacy for the
United States Senate by stating that he
found his prospects encouraging.
A private letter reports Dr.. J. J. Wood
ward, one Of President Garfeld's surgeons,
who is abroad in Switzerland for his health,
better, but not yet out Of danger.
The Senate will pass the 5 per cent bill
giving the States Of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisi-
ana. Alabama, Mississippi, Oregon, Nevada
and Colorado per cent. OF the money
realized from the sale OF the lands located
within their borders, at 81 o5 per acre,
without amendment, This will give Ohio
about 100000. aiia laG.'il..G J..i q.
Don Cameron said, to-day, that he be-
lieved that Harry Oliver, Of Pittsburgh.
Ex-Governor Bullock, Of Georgia, John L.
Hay, OF Boston, secretary OF the wool
growers association; j. Hale Syphcr, Of
Louisiana, and ex.secretary Kirkwood
would be members Of the Tariff commits
sion. This is doubtful, as the President
determined, yesterday, at Cabinet meeting,
that special interests should not be repre-.
sented upon the commissi on. This would
exclude Sypher, who represents the sugar
interests OF the south, Hay, who represents
the wool interests OF New England, and
Oliver, who represents the iron and steel
interests.
Immediately upon the disposal OF tho
National bank bill, Mr.. Calkins
will call up the contested election
case OF Mackay against O'Connor. He
has written and telegraphed to each absent
Republican member OF the House, showing
them the necessity Of their presence to
enforce the demand ior consideration in
order to- give the Republicans a quorum
without their enemies. On the other
hand, the Democrats have sworn TINT no
contested election cases shall be considered
until further appropriation bills arc dis
posed Of aud have announced their deter.
mination to use every means within their
power to prevent such consideration. This
is said to mean obstruction and session
into August. ~ ,l' gr '

John Mcsweeney, the prominent Ohio
