Committee York.

The committee on ways and means to-
day authorized Mr.. Kasson to report to
the house the Hewitt bill to amend the act
repeating the act for discrimination of
duties on goods produced east of the cape
of Good Hope. An amendment provides
that all such goods that may be in a pub
lie store or warehouse on the 1st of: January,
1888, or on shipboard in port, shall be sub
ject to no other duty than if imported
from or after that day. The committee
also continued consideration of the tariff
commission report, and completed the
schedule of chemicals.
The house committee on public la nds
to-day agreed to report favorably Mr..
Washburn's bill repeating the laws allow
ing pre-emption of public lands, and
amending the homestead law. Also agreed
to report back favCrably Mr.. Holman's
resolution calling on the secretary Of the
interior for information concerning the
patenting of lands to railroad companies
in excess of the amount earned under the
law granting lands.
Tho house judiciary committee after
three days discussion, came to a vote this
forenoon on the bill to relieve the su-
preme court, and adopted the Davis bill
creating nine intermediate courts. The
| vote was divided on party lines, and was
three to one, the Republicans favoring the
| Davis bill. Mr.. Manning will present the
views of the minority, and urge his bill,
the main provisions of which as differing
from the Davis bill are that it provides TO,
division of the present court into three
sections, with no addition to the force Of

contracting the width of the river is the

the navigation of the river. He believed
it would be the duty of the commission
under the organic act to improve the navi-

the lands upon the banks.

THE SORGHUM INTEREST.

The Mississippi Valley Cane Growers Asso-
ciaMon-Address by Commissioner Lor-
ing.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 14.--At the morning ses-
sion Of tho Mississippi Valley Cane Grow
ers' association, Hon. G. B. Loriug, United
States commissioner of agriculture, deliv-
cred an address upon the subject of the
sorghum industry. Before beginning the
address he took occasion to deny the state
ments in the Farmers Reciev, of Chicago,
to the effect that Loring was erroneous in
the statistical information prepared
by his department concerning
the corn crop; that said
information was obtained by Lo rings
junketing tour which he made through
the Northwest for the purpose of meeting
season last fall. He said the statements
were untrue. He began his address by al
luding to his desire to lay before the con-
ghum industry at the present day and the
far; then gave at length varying opinions
of the plant speciality

down to the work of the department he
stated the results of experiments made by
a chemist and the conclusions which were
reached by the national academy of
sciences, all of which were given to the
press Nov. Is last. He referred to
the operation at Rio Grande, N. j., and
Champaign, Ill. Experiments at the de-
partment last year showed that 1875 pounds
Of sugar and 2,977 gallons of strip cost
the government $s2.57. Reports from
tweaty-six states showed production
of sugar from sorghum
during the year was 425,755 pounds of
sugar, s,525,397 gallons of sirup. In con-
clusion he exhorted sorghum cultivators to
perssvere in their work. He referred to
the West as that portion of the country
which supplied the worlds necessities.
The convention adopted resolution
thanking Mr.. Loring for his address. Prof.
Wiley, of Lafayette, Ind, exhibited sam
pie of paper made from sorghum bagasse.

COLUMBUS, O.. Dec. 1.-THE state
board of canvassers to-day closed their re-
port on the vote for congressman, decid-
ing the doubtful districts in favor of Muir
ray in the Third, Morey in the Seventh,
Warren in the Fifteenth and Mckinley in
the Eighteenth. The supreme court in the
case of Campbell, Morey's opponent in the
Seventh, for an order to issue certificate
to him, continued it until January, after
which the canvassers closed up. In case a
mandamus is allowed Morey's certificate
becomes void.

Mr.. Blount. Of Georgia, inquired
whether the amount appropriated was suf-
ficient. If so he was satisfied, but if re-
ductiOn was made in order to give the bill
the appearance of being an economical
measure, he would like to see that under
stood.
Mr.. Caswell-The whole question is
based on the reduction of revenue by rea-
son of the reduction of postage from three
to two cents.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, defended the
action of the committee on appropriations
in failing to make provision for special
facilities.
Mr.. Anderson, of Kansas, suggested that
Massachusetts was getting something out
of special mail facilities.
Mr.. Robinson of Massachusetts. stated
sixteen states paid their own postal bills
and the bills of all the rest. The first ten
on the list were the six New England and
four Middle states.
Mr.. Ryan, of Kansas-We have given the
postmaster general the money; we have
given him the power to use it in securing
special mail facilities and he has not
chosen to do SO.
Mr.. Robson, of New Jersey, said the
reason the facility fund has not been ex-
pended on lines running westward was be-
cause the three lines which ran out of Chi
cago westward refused to contract at
reasonable rates, and the postmaster gen.
eral was not able to put them in competi-
ton against each other because they pooled
their issues.

He did not stop. New England has some

rather fancied the remaining 100000 of
American people were just about as good

New England. He could see no good
reason why the remaining 100000 of

could not be contented with the same IA

Mr.. Bingham, of Pennsylvania delivered
speech on the subject of a reduction f

To the Honorable the President and Com
men Council of the City of St. Paul.
GENTLEMEN-The Committee on Streets
City Engineer, and City Attorney, to whom
were referred the several bids for the re-
boilding Of three spans of the Wabashaw
street bridge across the Mississippi river,
| respectfully report, that they had before
them nine bids, ranging in price from
$25,O45 to $44 900.
The City Engineer devoted considerable
time to the careful examination of the
plans and specifications accompanying
the several bids, to ascertain how nearly
specifications prepared by him
and which was the basis of the different
bids, and that after having done so, he
was clearly of the opinion that the bid
Of the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron
Works was the lowest and best bid, which
came up fully to his plans and spec
lhcations. There were two lower
bids. The lowest, while the plan
was most excellent, did not come up tc
the specifications as required; the me-
lowest was not satisfactory in its details
The next the Missouri Valley Bridge and
IrOu WOrAS DlO. Inc Otner DDS were all
higher, and with but single exception,
and that only in some of its details, ac-
compan1ed by most excellen: plans and
specifications, under which no doubt the
shree spans of bridge could be constructed
satisfactory to the engineer.
The other members of the Committee
fully concurring with the City En- gineer
join with him in making unanimous
report in favor of awarding the contract
for the construction of the said three
spans to the Missouri Valley Bridge and
Iron Works, and that the necessary con,
tract be drafted and presented to the
proper officers for signature. Very re-
spectfully,

PENDANT. After hearing council for plain
tiff am still of tho opinion that tho allie
cations objected to are irrelevant. The
measure of damages is the difference be.
tween the contract price and the market
price at the time of the breach. It is i'm
material what the highest price was up te
the time of the commencement of the &C
ton and it is not material that the price
increased after the making of the contract
unless it appears what tie price was at the
time of the breach. 1t is at least too indef
mite and uncertain if it is material. Plain
tiff, however, may amend within twenty
