Three millions of acres of Texas
land is lordly domain. 1t would
make all Chicago vastly rich even
now, but in ten or twenty-five years
its value would be almost incompre-
hensible. Due patience and a strict

of the original contract, and not
many and too sweeping changes, may,
will inevitably place this lordly for
tune safely in the hands of the syndi-
cate. Then the conductors, control
lerS or the owners of the lands wi !
have an unquestioned right to voice
in the settlement of free grass, land and
other policies. But as things stand
to-day they have no more right to a
voice than has Ell Madhi or the en-
peror of China. 1t may suit the syn
dictate and their mouth-pieces to cavil
at the "whims of the legislature" but

will keep a watchful eye upon the

that these lands pass into the hand:

OF yesterday, number of resolutions were
offered and appropriately referred. A reso-

WASHINGTON Waifs.

The conference committee on the bin de-
elaring the forfeiture Of the Atlantic &
Pacific land grant had meeting to-day and
agreed to report to their respective houses
that they were unable TO agree.
A number Of members Of the house were
in the cham Der this morning answering let
ters and discussing the probabilities Of legis-
lation during the present session. The gen.
eral opinion is that no legislation OF import
ance, beyond the appropriation bills, will be
effected.
Senators Logan and Cullom have united in
recommending the reappointment Of Post
master Palmer at Chicago. There is talk Of
an effort TO get the appointment Of Assistant
Postmaster Squires as a non-partisan, with
the hope that he may keep the position during
the regular term.
Efforts will be made Monday to suspend
the rules and fix a day for the consideration
of the Mcpherson bill, allowing banks TO
issue notes up TO the full value OF their bonds
deposited, also the Dingley bill, allowing the
investment in United States bonds Of cur
reney deposited with the treasury to secure
bank notes.
A leading conservative Democrat says
there is undoubtedly more friendly feeling
for the project of putting Gen. Grant on the
retired list, If il can be accom- plished, among
Democratic senators aud members than
among the Republicans. Bills in his favor
have been twice defeated through the opposi-
ton of Republican members of the military
committees. Southern members Of congress
have almost universally expressed themselves
in favor of such measure.
1t is learned here to-day that the cause Of
the unceremonious refusal of the appropri-
alton committee, last session, to put clause
in the sundry civil bill TO pay Hallet Kill
bourne's verdict against John G. Thompson,
ex-sergent-at-arms, was because of a letter
written to a member Of the committee, by
Mr.. Kerr, Of the star route prosecution, say
ing that the verdict was obtained by fraud
and bribery and with the knowledge OF
Thompson. The letter has caused a good
deal Of stir, and there is talk Of an investi-
cation.

work Monday if the tribunal rate of three
cents par bushel was not paid. If the opera
tors of these mines insist on the reduction a
general strike of railroads miners is probable,
as the latter will refuse to work unless the uni
