The NEXT SPEAKERsHIP.-A late wash
ington letter says:
The sentiment among members of the House
of Representatives who have so far arrived on
the question of the next Speakership is that
the chances of Mr.. Randall are very slim. 1t
is learned that the Democratic members elect
are very averse to committing themselves,
which is a bad omen for the eX-Speaker. A
number of members who have heretofore been
regarded as his staunch friends are among
those who say they have not determined as to
their course 1t is believed that enough
Southern and Western members will vote
against Randall to defeat his nomination.
The Republican plan of action in connection
with the measure to reduce internal revenue
taxation has been, it is understood informally
agreed upon, and it is thought a senatorial
caucus will be held early next week to adopt
it as a party measure. The revenue tax reduc-
tion which passed the House last session re-
duces internal taxation twenty-three million
dollars This bill is first on the Senate calen-
dar. The plan is to have the bill recommitted
to the Finance Committee, and in its place
report bill which will reduce internal taxa
tion eighty millions. Whisky, tobacco, beer,
special licenses and cigars are to have the tax
reduced fifty per cent. The stamp, bank de-
posts, matches and bank savings, and proprle-
tary stamps of all kinds are to be done away
with completely Judge Kelly, chairman of
the House committee of ways and means, ls
about the only Republican in the House of any
special prominence who it is thought will op-
pose the above plan. Judge Kelley has given
notice that he will on the first day OF the ses-
sion introduce bill wiping out internal rev.
enue taxation of every kind, and will he salts
fled with nothing less, looking upon partiaire-
ductions of any character or extent. as less
than what the people demand He threatens,
it is said, to refuse to accept the decisions OF
caucus unless an entire abolition is agreed up
on. Should he bolt the caucus, it is said he
will be able to get enough following from the
Democrats and Greenbackers to defeat the
passage of partial reductions.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

The regulation of the Interstate commerce
has already been the subject of your delibera-
tions. One of the incidents of the marvellous
extension of the railway system of the country
has been the adoption of such measures by the
corporations which own or control the roads as
has tended to impair the advantages of health

Mr.. Charles II. Reed. He has gained con-
siderably in flesh, and is now regarded as
one Of the most tractable prisoners under

MISCELLANEOUS.

GARFIELD memorial exercises were
held in Central Music Hall, Chicago, on the
9th. The hall was appropriately trimmed
with flowers, and draped flags, and immedi-
ately back of the platform was large por-
trait of the late President. Among the floral
decorations was a wreath sent by Queen
| Victoria and the emblem from the Empress
Of Brazil. The meeting was presided over
| by Gen. James B. Leake, United States Dis
trict Attorney. Mr.. E. A. Storrs eulogized
Garfield's eventful and wonderful life, and
| told how he advanced step by step by sheer
force of his intellect, reinforced by his
spotless conscience, from an humble
rank in life to the Hottest summit of
honor and achievement. Speaking of him
as politician, Mr.. Storrs said he used che
party not as an end, but as means to an end.
He was never owned or controlled by ma
chine, but was too practical statesman not
to know that in church and state an intelli-
gently controlled machine is indispensable
to success. "He perished," said the orator,
in conclusion, with the conflicts of tempo
rary excitement raging around him, involv-
ing more Of persons than of principles. The
whole world loved him because he loved the
whole world.o
A DISPATCH from Ottawa, Ont, says
that Mr.. Weldon, while on his way to the
House OF Commons, the other day, was at
tackled by ''crank" named Sullivan, and
beaten in brutal manner. 1t appears that
Sullivan labors under an hallucination that
the Government should appropriate $780,
900 for the immediate suppression of Feni-
anism, and had asked Weldon to present the
matter to Parliament.
ROBERT MAGICIAN, a London clerk,
tried to immortalize his name by firing a
pistol at Queen Victoria, March 2.
To Judge from the report, the
pistol was not heavily loaded. The
Queen, who was probably not aware of
what had happened, was Immediately driven
to the Castle, but before she passed the man
had been seized by the Superintendent of
Borough Police, who was standing near by.
He was violently seized by the crowd, and
only rescued when three or four policemen
came to the Superintendent assistance.
The Queen held her dinner party at night as
usual. No political significance is attached
to the outrage.

ment than dismissal be imposed. 1t Is
thought that the President and Secretary OF
War favor the lighter punishment.

Mason for attempting to kill Guiteau has

in wordy dispute with her son, who went
to a closet, got a revolver and returning to

State-prison, and that now there will be
peace in the house.

A large class of the unemployed at the

Their education has given them a knowl-

hotffs 0f his old servant. At the moment OF
departure he penfied note to Senator In
gals of Kansas, held by competent Judgment
to be the best presiding officer in the senate,
asking him to act in his absence. The sues-

thus delegated, and Senator Sherman, seeing
thats this Improbable performance might
stretch out to the crack of doom; very sensi-
bly, moved an adjournment to Monday, when

The largest land purchase, perhaps, ever
made, with the possible exception of Alaska
from the Russian government by the
United States, has been consummated by
distinguished party of American and foreign
capitalits. The scheme in itself is of grand
and enormous proportions, involving, per-
haps, 100000 acres of land and $15, 600, ,OOG
In money.
The gentlemen connected with the scheme
are the duke Of Manchester, George Ste
phens, president, and r. B. Angtis, vice
president of the Canadian Pacific railway

Leeds, England, Stephen Angus, Lord Ell
phinstone and Mr.. Todd of w. f. Kennedy

railway received land grant from
the Dominion government of $4,000, 600,
acres have been sold. The company up to
date, have issued about So, 600, 600 bonds in
their land grant bonds which are said to be
held by syndicates in Paris, New York and
Montreal, the bank of Montreal holding, it
was stated, goodly block. The land COM
pany of Canada is a consolidation of all the
smaller land companies in Great Britain and
Canada which have colonization in
Canada as their great objective
scheme. The corporation agrees to
perchase one-half the land, along the Cam
adian Pacific, which is left of its grant, in
cluding, of course; half of the town sites:
These lands lie in northwestern Canada
clear up to the line of British Columbia, in
Guiding in the neighborhood of 100000
acres The Canadian Pacific bonds issued
amount to $9,OOO,OOO. The land company
will take these up at par and will receive
per cent interest upon them as they are held
by them. The land company will pay for
these lands in the hands of the
Canadian Pacific, which will thus
cancel them. The land com
pany will take all together $15, ,OOO, 900 of the
bonds at par. When the land is taken with
them the railway company will receive them
at the rate of ITO, thus assuring large profits
in the enterprise.
The company, it is said will employ its
surplus capital in loaning money to settlers
and building houses for them and facilitat-
ing the rapid development and improvement
of the country.

NeaOS of the Railroads.

There is fair prospect of a new railroad
in Canada. The Ontario & Quebec is to be
pushed by the Canada Pacific syndicate
from Perth to Toronto with all speed
During the twelve months ending April
80, the land department of the St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba railway company
had made l, 116 separate sales, aggregating
LOG, ,48O acres, and amounting to 1866, 1877,
"a.
General Manager Van Horne denies the re-
port that the Canadian Pacific will withdraw
its opposition to junction between the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba Southwestern
if the Northern Pacific will stop parallel
lines to the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Mani
tOba.
The Grand Trunk stations at Quebec were
burned. Benoit's hotel, adjoining the sta
ton, were gutted. Loss variously estimated
from S1O0, 600 to S400, 600, according to the
value of the freight in the shed. Nothing
can be obtained about the insurance, as that
was arranged in Montreal
AT a reception in Philadelphia, President
Willard of the Northern Pacific told how he
had placed himself in control of the Ore
gon Steamship company, operating between
San Francisco, Portland and Puget sound,
and connected to that the Oregon & Cali
fornia railroad, and then established the
connection between these two corporations
and the Northern Pacific. These enterprises
were merely tributary to the Northern Pa
cific, and he had never intended to make
them anything else. They had built up
1900 miles of standard guage railroad to
meet the main line and spent $4,000, 600 for
the equipment of the steamship line, all OF
which had not cost the Union Pacific COM
pany dollar. And since all this had be en-
done emigration into Oregon has been4our
times as great as formerly.
