PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
THE SENATE.
Memorial from Ex-senator Kellogg-New
Measures Introduced.

Memorial from Ex-senator KellOgg-New
Measures Introduced.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE chair laid before
the Senate a memorial from William Pitt KEEL
logg, denying all imputations against him con-
tanned in the recent documents transmitted to
the Senate by the Secretary of the Interior, re-
lating to the transfer of the land grant of the
Texas Pacific railroad to the Southern Pacific
railroad, and asking for an investigation.
Petitions were presented as follows
By Mr. Dolph From the Chamber of Com
merce of Astoria, Ore, praying for an appropri-
alton of $780, 200, for the improvement of the en-
trance of the Columbia river.
By Messrs. Bayard Frye Miller of New York,
and Morrill,, from various temperance organiza-
tons For a commission on liquor traffic, and a
constitutional amendment prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of alcoholic liquors as a beyer-
age.
Bills were introduced as follows:
By Mr.. Butler: Authorizing the Secretary Of
the Treasury to restore to the rightful owners
the contents of certain boxes deposited for safe
keeping in the treasury vaults by the Secretary
of War. The boxes, Mr.. Butler said contained
miniatures, ETC., of no value to anybody but the
owners. He hoped the bill would be reported
favorably. Referred.
By Mr.. Van Wyck: To secure reasonable
rates of transportation for the people over all
railroads, aided by the government. Mr.. Van
Wyck said he desired to introduce the bill as a
substitute to one of similar character intro
duced few days ago. The first bill was limited
in its scope to the Union and Central Pacific
roads. The present bill extends the regulating
provisions to all railroads in the United States
which received government lands When the
people gave the enormous grants for building
three railroad lines to the Pacific it was on the
suppositon that there would be natural competi-
ton between these lines but the wise purposes
of the people and Congress were defeated by the
corporations, which are ''partitioning' as they
cali it, or dividing up between them, and are
stretching across the continent.
By Mr.. Mcpherson: For the issue of circu-
latng notes to national banking associations.
1t provides that upon the deposit of United
States bonds, bearing interest in the manner re
quired by law, any national banking association
making the same shall be entitled to receive
| from the Comptroller of the Currency circu-
latng notes not exceeding the par value Of bonds
! deposited; provided, that at no time shall the
| total amount issued to such association exceed
the amount at such times actually paid in its
capital stock.
| At the conclusion of the morning business,
| Mr.. Garland called up the bill making an ap-
preparation of $685. 900 for compensation for
seizure by the United States government, in 1861,
of the Spanish ferry-boat, Nuesta Sonora de
Rega. Passed. .'S

the last harvest has been less productive than its
predecessors and although there are indications
that the rapid expansion of your commerce will
to some extent be followed by oyertrading
the general condition of the Dominion is sucl
as to justify me in congratulating you on its
prosperity. The relations of the Dominion
with British Columba'are pronounced of a most
cordial character. Owing to the increase popu-

SAD FATE OF FIVE MEN.
Three Crushed by Logs, One Shot, and One
Cut Open with AK.

Cut Open with an AK.
Corning IN. y Special.
Two years ago five young men came from the
woods of Maine, where they had followed the oc-
eupation of choppers, and found employment in
the lumber regions of Pennsylvania They were
George and William Jennings, brothers; Arthur
Fraley, Andrew Shalcross and Hiram Stephens
The first week that they in the region
George Jennings was fastening a chain around a
large log, when it was started in some manner
and before he could get out of the way it had
knocked him down, and, rolling over him, had
crushed him to death. His father had been killed
in similar manner in Maine A few months
afterward, Arthur Fraley and William Jennings
were hunting in the woods near Malleys mills
They had shot deer, and, after reoading their
guns, had walked up to where the animal lay
Fraley stopped down and Jennings stood behind
him. While they were in this position Jennings
saw fawn come leaping along the edge of the
ridge close by, and quickly cooked his gun. The
click of the hammer caused Fraley to look up
Seeing the fawn, he jumped to his feet Jen-
ningss gun was discharged at the same instant
and the ball passed clear through Fraley's head
killing him Instantly. A few weeks later Jen
nings was engaged with others in driving logs
While breaking jam the logs gave way unex
pectedly, and he was carried down with them
and crushed to death.
After William jennings death Andrew Shall
cross declared that he could not remain in such
an apparently fatal spot, and obtained work in
Potter county. Last week the news was received
that he had been Killed by falling tree
Hiram Stephens was now the only one alive of
the five young lumbermen who had come to-
gether to Pennsylvania. Last week, when he
heard Of Shalcrosss death, he resolved to return
to Maine. Monday he and George Cough went
out to work together. Stephens had just felled
a tree, and suggested to Cough that he try his
hand at one. Cough selected a medium sized
tree near by and began chopping. stephens pro
ceeded to trim the one that he had felled, and
paid no attention to Coughs work. After
awhile he heard Cough shout to him to run,
as the tree would fall in such way as to
strike him with branch. Stephens started
carrying the AK in front of him. He had taken
but few steps when he stumbled and fell.
Cough was giving the last strokes on the tree
with his ak, and seeing that Stephens did not
rise after falling he to his aid, forgetting the
danger from the tree. Before he reached Ste
phens the tree fell with a crash and Cough was
caught beneath the very branch against which
he had warned his companion. He was pinned
to the ground the limb lying across his legs No
part Of the tree touched Stephens, although
Cough did not lie six feet from him. When the
tree FELL Stephens raised his head and saw Cough
lying beneath the branch. He rose to his feet.
Then Cough saw that blood was pouring in a
great stream from a fearful wound in Ste
plsens's stomach. He had fallen on the

LOWER PRICES ALL AROUND.
The Chicago Spectators Disguised at
the Condition of Affairs,
And Apparently Convinced that the COun-
try Is on the Verge of Panic That
Will Prove Disastrous.



CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Everything on the list,
even provisions, opened lower this morning
There was word from New York that affairs
there were bordering upon panic, and while
there was no news of failures, they were expect
ed and bad rumors were already ahoat. Wheat
behaved the worst, and dropped from one point
to another, until February was selling at SO 34c,
and the May option at 90 1-2c. Lester g. Co.
and Schwartz & Dupee were the heaviest sellers;
buyers there were none, except shorts" Jones,
Eldredge, and others were taking in the wheat PIT
on yesterday at 99c; under 97c the crowd is be-
coming converted, perhaps at the very worst
moment, to the "bear" side of wheat and every
body is looking with anxiety toward Wall street,
fearing panic there. Everybody knows, too,
that a crash at New York at this time however
little logical connection it might have with the
value of grain, would smash prices here.
Corn, while not so dilapidated as wheat, broke
BADLY It sold down to 81 3-4c for january, the
lowest point for month and a half, and down
to SIC FOR May. The receipts of corn were large
to-day, and the grain is grading better than was
prophesied. The bulls" are becoming despair
ing Wheat is now 12c bushel lower than it
was month ago, and corn about 10c bushel
lower.
Provisions broke along with everything else
to-day February pork, which closed last night
at STAT L. was 40 cents lower this forenoon;
and lard and ribs had dropped Is cents per hun
dred
Most of the markets closed better On the
call, pork and lard were 2 lie higher,
and corn 1-8c better; wheat however, was not
as strong as it closed upstairs, and on the curb
was going at 97c seller May. Corn closed at
81 58057 1-2c. Lester was the big seller, though
Bangs got rid of 700, 900 bushels in three offers,
most of which was taken by Lindbiom.
The market in Wall street was reported bet
ter, the finding of president for Northern Pa
cifc having improved the tone of stocks. This
was the main cause of the improvement,
February pork stopped at $146O, and February
lard at So. 81 IL
T.. The sales en- the call were 1920 900 bushels Of
wheat, and AZ, 900 bushels of corn.
Foreign cables are said to be better tonight,
and the Price Current will, it is reported, con
oede shortage of 100000 in the hog crop. The
feeling at the close was stronger.
