Agricultural! Report.

WASHINGTON, December l0.-The De
partmenG Of Agriculture reports to-day as
follows: Prices are firm. Products in
the home markets have tendency to a
general decline, and prices appear to have
depressed values somewhat aside from the
abundant supply. The average price OF
corn is 365 cents l cent lower than in
1879, when the supply in proportion to the
population was quite as large. 1t has
been lower but twice in ten years-in 1877
and 1878, after two years of abundance.
The average farm price of wheat is 50
cents per bushel, against II cents last
December December prices in thirteen
years has previously been below 81 per
bushel but five times-in 1874, 1873, 1880,
1882 and 1888.
The average value of oats is % cents,
against 33 cents last December and 81
cents in 1882. The present value is the
lowest ever reported by the Department.
The average farm price of the entire
potato crop is 40 cents per busel being 2
cents lower than last year, though the
crop is not so large.

The Mexican Pension Bill.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-At the
caucus of the Republican members of the
House tonight, the following resolution
was unanimously agreed to:
Resolred, That the bill known as the
Mexi can pension bill as amended by the
Senate, is entitled to our hearty and active
support, and that we will support any and
all efforts to have said bill considered and
passed at the earliest possible day.
II was also determined that all practical
bic parliamentary means should be en-
ployed to bring the bill before the House
for final action. 1t was represented that
the bill on account of rulings made by
Speaker Carlisle when it was under con-
sideration at the last session Congress
would be exceedingly difficult to reach
one portion OF it being on the Speakers
table and another dortion i'll the Commit
Zee Of the Whole 1t was hoped, however
that the difficulties might be overcome,
and Representative Klfer, Cannon and 9TH
er prominent Republican parliamentarians
were directed by the caucus to devise a
method for relieving the bill OF its embar-
easements.

Business Before Congress.

WASHINGTON, December There are
three measures of Importance mentioned
as likely to come up this week for dis
cussion in the Senate. On Monday Senator
Slaterintends to call up the House bill ITO
declare the forfeiture OF certain lands
granted to aid the construction of a rail-
road in Oregon"
On Tuesday Senator Harrison will call
up bill for the admission of Southern
Dakota as State. The measure is ex-
pected to give rise to considerable discus
sion, which will probably BE OF a political
character.
On Thursday Senator CullOm will, if
possible, call up the Interstate Commerce
bill.
1t is probable the regular order will be
laid aside early in the week to give Senator
Hill an opportunity 10 make a speech on
his ''Silver" resolution offered last week.
In the House, Reagan intends pressing
the Interstate Commerce bill, the dis
cussion of which was begun last week. 1t
is thought a vote will be taken Cd this
measure by Thursday, when the Inter
State Commerce bill is out of the way.

Railroad Affairs.

SPRINGFIELD, H., December 11.-At a
meeting of the State railroad and ware
house commission to-day it was resolved
to hold a session in Chicago on the 18th
inst. The object of the meeting as set
forth in the resolution is as follows:
For the purpose of comforting with
shippers and railroad managers on the
feasibility Of reduction in rates on GER
tain commodities suggested by the depres-
sion in commercial circles, and all parties
interested are invited to be present at that
time"
This call is made in recognition of the
fact that prices of all commodities vary
with circumstances OF trade, and that
railroad rates remain arbitrary, and they
should be adjusted, to reasonable extent
at least to suit the times

form lallot upon which the candidates are

Chinese Restriction Act.

WASHINGTON, December 8.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury issued the following
circular to the customs officers relating to
the Chinese coming to the United States.
To promote the uniformity in the admis-
sion of Chinese persons of the exempt
class of the act of July 5th, 1884, the fol-
lowing rules are prescribed:
[. Chinese persons other than laborers,
who are now or may hereafter be, lawfully

of a. certificate corresponding TO that re-
quired by section six, of the act of July
5th, 1880. to be issued by the Chinese Con-
sular agent, an officer stationed within the
United States. The certificates issued under
the act of May 9th, 1882, and the decision of
6240 before the passage of said act IN 1884
are to be regarded as having the same eff
feet as if said act Of 1884 had not been
passed.
2 Chinese subjects, not laDOrers, desir
ing TO come TO the United States from
countries other than China, may do so on
the production Of a certificate correspond
ing to that required by section 8, OF May,

such Chinese officer stationed at such port,
one like certificate is to be issued by the
United States consular officer.

cision Of 5544, dated January 23, 1888, rel
ative 20 the transit of Chinese laborers
through the territory Of the United States,

PEELED to touch at ports in the United
States in their transit to foreign countries,

INDIAN SUMNER.

r,,,,r the bleak November hills
Psoitary blue bird trills
His latest song,
And far along
r,.a rnsset upland loudly rings
ny nv law the sturdy woodman sings.
r,.,.,,d tbe pastures hazel edge,
le2n, olyt the hollow's tangled sedge,
The quail upsprings
On whirrng wings,
And down the stubble tlutters fast,
Paforr the hunters heartless blast.
From out moss grown sugar trough
4 lonesome rabbit gallops OIL
Across the woods
And solitudes
That rustic to the slightest stir
Ofdropping leaf and acorn burr.
in lazy aldermanic guise
The yellow breasted pawpaw lies,
So snugly hid,
The leaves amid,
That scarce a schoolbOy's eager eye
Can find it as he saunters by.
In lines that wavcr and converge,
The puzzled wild ducks southward surge
The live long day,
w ME lar away
4 circling hawk is seen to swim
Along the twilight's amber rim.
The blue Jays on the windy oak
Hold ioyless abber thro' the smoke
Of these dim days.
While family strays
From orchard haunts and leatless groves,
The murmur of the patient doves.
Revond the rivers fringe of mist
The wild vines climb and ntertWlst
Their amorous shoots,
Rich hung with fruits,
That froth with wine so ripe and talr.
The fairies fill their wagons there.
o glorious Indian Summer time!
Where is the country, where the cline,
To match with this?
q land of bliss,
o land of love and light and flowers
God made it last. and made it ours.

Union Pacific Extension Bill.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-The editor
of the Omaha Bee to-day made an interest
ing argument before the Senate Judiciary
Committee in opposition to the Union Pa
cific sixty year extension bill. He said it
was entirely needless for Congress to resort
to any such legislation. The earnings of
the road were ample TO meet its just iabil-
tiles and pay interest on its actual cost,
and even to make material reductions in
rates from time 10 time if Congress would
prohibit the payment OF improper diyi-
dends and compel the company to devote
the proceeds OF land sales to the liquida-
tion of lis bonded liabilities The sixty
year extension would have the effect to
retard the sale of the company's land and
thus delay settlement of the country.
which it was the object of the subsidy to
promote.

A MOTHER SPEAKS.

The night is dark, oh, dark and drear,
And chilly Autumn rains are falling;
In mournfu cries, far off, hear
The lonely night winds fitful calling,
But close and warm, in peaceful rest,
My babe is sleeping on my breast.
Her light breath futters past my face;
feel the touch of silky treSses;
One hand in mine has found place,
! hold it close with soft caresses.
What care we for the stealthy rain,
Or moaning night winds dull refrain
/ move and wake: no babe is here!
My arms are claspcd DER empty space.
Nor in the little bed Hnear
DO eager hands the small form trace.
Twas all dream except the rain,
And solemn night winds low refrain.
! know know my baby lies
Far of beneath the cold, dark gronnd
Cnshetered from the weeping skies,
With angry winds shrieking around;
My darling-o'er whose life's short way
We let no zephyrs roughly stray!
. little head. with rings OF gold
o dainty form-dimpled and white
Was 1t for this | watched unfold
Charm after charm with proud delight "
Only to have them torn away
10 perish in the rain soaked clay?
They tell me there's shadow land
Hidden. but closely linked with this.
There lost ones Join "A spirit band.
To move for aye through scenes Of bliss
try to ~ee-but all i'll vain,
Ny baby lies there in the rain.
