PENDING LEGISLATION.
Measures Considered by the Committees of
the Two Houses of Congress.

Measures Considered by the Committees of
the Two Houses of Congress.
WASHINGTON, March THE House commit
tee on public lands to-day decided unanimously
to recommend the forfeiture of the land granted
the Atlantic & Pacific railroad lying east of the
junction of that road with the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad, and lying six miles west of
Mojaye, Cal, and which has not been patented
to the road
Mr.. Anderson moved that the entire grant to
the road be forfeited but the proposition received
but two votes, those of himself and Mr.. Shaw.
The lands amount to about 100000 acres.
The road has earned about 10. 000 900 acres.
The Senate committee on Territories has
agreed to give the name of Lincoln to the new
Territory which it is proposed to make out of
the northern portion of Dakota The commit
tee also considered the resolution providing for
an inquiry into certain alleged Irregularities in
the organization of the Legislature of New
Mexico The advisablty of sending sub-com-
mittee to the Territory to make an investigation
was decided against for the present, the commit
tee directing the chairman to first call upon the
executive departments, and Governor of the
Territory, for information in their possession.
Senator Harrison also received dispatch from
Governor Sheldon, of New Mexico, stating that
the organization of the Legislature was strictly
regular and according to the law

A DESPERADO'S DEATH.
Frank Rand Commits Suicide by Hanging
Himself in the Joliet Penitentiary.

JOLIET, March Frank Rande. the des
perado, who made an attempt upon the life of
Deputy Mcdonald last Saturday night and
who was placed in the solitary, succeeded in
ending his career by hanging himself last night.
Randes real name Charles c. Scott. He
killed no less than five men in 1877 and is sup
posed to have murdered thirteen persons in
Indiana Illinois and Missouri. He was origin
ally sentenced to the Iowa prison for burglary,
but escaped, andfearing arrest became tramp.
He was afterward sent to the Michigan City
prison for burglary, under another name and
left there in 1877. He robbed a farmer near
Gilson ILL.,, and being pursued by a party of
six, he killed two and wounded three others.
He committed almost a similar robbery near
St Elmo, H., and being followed by party of
citizens killed three Of the latter and escaped.
He was finally captured in st. Louis after a
desperate struggle with officer, and on his
trial for the ellison tragedy escaped with a life
sentence. His prison life has been marked with
three or four acts of desperation similar to that

Something About the Men Who Are Going

Something About the Men Who Are Going
to the Assistance of Greely.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 7.-During the week the
navy of the United States has been subjected to
a great deal of talk upon the part of the states
men of the lower house. There have been nu-
merous sneers at the personnel and great deal
of inconsequential gush about shore duty, So
ciety men, and the general usefulness of our
navy. That the navy itself is comparatively
useless as it now is, no one attempts to deny,
but that the officers are valuable only as society
leaders is equally untrue. Many of them are
luminous in Washington society circles, but
even among those who are most radiant upon
the parlor carpet there are men who when occa-
sion requires, have proven themselves to be able
and efficient officers
OF the officers who have volunteered and have
been accepted for the Greedy relief expedition
there are several who have demonstrated their
seamanship or their bravery upon previous occa-
sions. Commander Schley, who will have charge
of the expedition as commander of the Thetis,
has his name inscribed upon the rolls of fame in
such characters as are not likely to be soon Grad
icated. 1t may be remembered that back in the
Sixties the United States ship General Sher-
man was wrecked in Corean waters and fifteen
of her crew brutally butchered. Admiral Rog-
ers was, a few years later, empowered to nego-
tiate treaty of amity and commerce with the
Coreans, and two of the vessels of his Aeet-the
Palos and Monocacy--were led into an ambus-
cade and fred upon from a Corean fort which
subsequently stormed and carried by the
Americans. The first over the ramparts was
Lieutenant Mckee, who Immediately
pierced through by Corean spear. Before his
body fell Lieutenant Schley, of the Monocacy,
and Captain Tilton, of the Marine corps, sprang
over the wall simultaneously aud avenged the
death of Mckee. The citadel, which was called
''Sun tol Mok" was captured, and the flag which
had ioated above the ramparts was torn down
