WARRINGTON, February 1s,-Mr. VIII.
itans, Chairman OF tho House Committee
on Foreign Affairs, will endeavor on Mon.
day TO secure by unanimous consent the
consideration Of tho bill for the payment Of
the japanese indemnity. This arrange.
ment has been agreed upon by the commit.
tee, with the appreciation Of several lead.
ing members on the Democratic side who
are familiar with the subject, and among
whom there Is no difierance OF opinion as
to the merits OF the bill. II some OF the
establish reputation by objection to every.
thing will forbear on this occasion, 1t Is
probable that the measure will 20 through
Monday, and national disgrace will
thus be wiped out years utter Con.
gresE should have taken this step.
Tie bill provides for the restoration
to Japan Of about $l,500,0OO which
was never covered into the Treasury,
and has been held for sixteen years In
trust by the Department OF State. II was

bills for the return or the money have sew
eEat times been passed by the two Houses,
but never conCurrently. In the last hours
Of the Forty.sixth Congress it passed the
senate by 4 vote Of lorty.stS 10 sixty,
una its passage was recommended
IN the House in voluminous re.
port, presented by Mr.. Cox, OF New
York. The Chambers OF Commerce OF
New York, New Orleans and San Francisco
have unanimously petitioned Congress to
restore the money to Japan. The leading
Journals OF the entire country are without
exception on record as having ut one time
or another urged upon Congress the pro- |
priety ot this course. President Hayes
twice invited tho attention OF Congress to
the subject in his annual messages. Pres.
tdent Arthur also mentioned il especially |
in his recent message. General Grant has
expressed himself vigorously about the
matter, and Wm. II. Seward, in letter to |
the Chairman Of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, as long ago us 1868, denounced
the levy OF the money on Japan |
in the most punmeasured terms
and advocated its speedy return. Senators
Edmunds, Thurman, kirkwood, Logan,
Voorhees,, ingalls,, Eaton, Simon Cameron,
y: +. Morton. booth, Sherman, Salisbury,
ChrtstianCy, Morrill,, G. W. Jones, Freling-

times spoken on the floor oil the Senate in
favor OF the restoration OF this money to
the japanese Government, and bill is
now pending in the Senate, similar to that
for which Mr.. Williams will attempt to Sc
cure consideration in the House next Mon
day, 1t is understood that President
Arthur is very anxious that this Congress
should should finally take concurrent ac-
ton on this subject and as fur as possible
make restitution to Japan for an unwar-

the He;tminiS'er Rericw for January shows
that in the ordinary fire place about seven
eighths OF the heat goes up the chimney;
about one-haii going up with the smoke,
u quarter by the open space about the
CRATE, and the remaining eighth is the un-
consumed carbon OF the smoke itself. Ac.
eording to statistics, onc-third part Of all
the coal in the country is consumed in do
nestle FIRE places, aud for this, one.sixth
part only is utilized for the purpose of

WASHINGTON, February 10. - Colonel
George Bliss, who is in charge Of the prose-
cution ofthc star.route ring, ,said in IN inter.
view tonight that he had placed nil his tcs.
timony before the Grand Jury in the straw
bond ases,and in the cases against Dorsey,
Brady and others. He thinks he is reason
ably sure OF indictments in both cases, but
especially the latter. He says his reason
in having the straw bond cases arrested and
brought before the police court was to Sc.
cure them and gain time for the prepara-
ton of his testimony and to get it before
the Grand Jury, which he has
succeeded in doing. He says the Santa
Fe case in which the government failed to
hold Dorsey and Brady on iniormations
will not be tried again, as the case depend
cd entirely upon the tcstimoney Of one wit
ness, who was actuated by spite and which
Inns since been proved. The civil suits
against Dorsey and Brady are coming on
slowly. Col. Bliss says they will not be on
trial for some time. No attachments will
be issued on these. Col. Bliss looks for in
diFtments against twelve persons for par
ticipating in the alleged frauds, by March

WARRINGTON, February lO.-It is report
ed in diplomatic circles that Mexico has
declined an invitation Of the United States
participate in a Congress OF the Ameri.
can Republics at Washington. The reason
given for this reported tleclination Is, that
Mexico objects to giving an equal voice in
tho Congress to tIlepetty Central American
and South American Republics with Mex.
leo and the greater powers. Tho general
impression among the members OF the for
elgn legations in Washington is that the
Congress proposed by the Administration
under Secretary Blaine, will fail because
tho Administration is not deeply interested
in the matter.
