Board ON the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx

able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the at4u.
INFLATED profits IN cash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXperience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine DO.
licies appr6Ximates to or exceeds the
amount Of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost Of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.

paid in full in the event Of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of

The PUBLIC LANDS.
Reports From the Senate Committee on
Public Lands-PrOposing Bills for
New Regulations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Van Wyck
to-day submitted a report from the Senate
Committee on Public Lands to accompany
the bills also reported by him relating to the
fencing of public lands. In the report the
committee say that without the least author.
ity, and in open and bold defiance of the
rights of the Government, large and often
times foreign corporations deliberately in
close hundreds of thousands of acres. closing
the avenues of travel and preventing the
occupancy OF lands by those seeking homes
They alleged that the lands within their in
closures still remained open to settlement,
yet no humble settler with scsnt means
for the necessaries of life would presume to
enter any such enclosure to seek home.
The Government has sufficient authority to
drive those seeking homes from the Indian
Territory, and to burn the ranches OF those
invading the Yeilo wstone Park. while those
sppropriatin9 waste areas are hoping the
only remedy to be used against them will
be law and delay of the courts; therefore,
the committee has added a new section to
the House BILL authorizing the President to
summaTily remove all distractions. aud. if
necessary, use the military power of the
United States.
Senator Dolph to-day reported favorably

Territory, by striking out the words ''unfit

tuTe." The report says the object of the
amendment is TO allow land chiefly val
uable for timber and in its present state un.
fit for agricultural purposes, and which can
not ne rendered tt for cultivation except by
an outlay greater than the value of the land
after it is cleared, to be sold for its timbar.
The Secretary OF the Interior held that
under the present law no timber land, which
it Was possible to clear, and which If it were
clesred would be suitable for cultivation,
could be sold as timber land.
Mr.. Dolph also reported from the same
committee adversely on the House bill for
the relief OF settlers on the Moluelamos
Rancho. California. The ground upon which
the Committees action is based, is the ia z
that by the recent action OF the Executive
Department the matter is soon to come be-
fore the courts for judicial determination.

THE PHELAN AFFAIR.
The wounded Mans OODdition-Are Rossa
and Kearney English Spies ?-The
Captain Says They Are.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12-At the hospital to.
day it was reported that Captain Phelsn is
progressing very satisfactorily, most of the
stab wounds in his head and chest being al
ready healed. It is expected that the wound
which fractured the bone of his left arm,
and the most serious flesh wound OF all in
the left arm, will be quite healed to night.
The Captains vile arrived today from Kan
sas City.
Captain Phelan felt so well yesterday that
be began to lay plans for the prosecution of
his sssailant, and was in consultation with
f. W. Reilly during the forenoon. The
Captain would not make public the letters
which induced him TO come TO New York,
saying they would be seen By no one until
resd in court He expected to prove a coB-
spiiscy on the part of O'Donovan Rosss,
Kearnev. 0Brien, Joyce and Short to lure
him here for assassination. He declared to
friend yesterday, that he would try TO ex-
pose the dvnamiters, and at the same time
shaw that Rosa ana Kesrney sre English
spies. BE said be had documents at home
that would prove this.
When be wss in England and learned that
come one had csoied over about the dyna-
mite on board the steamer Queen, he had
bis eyes opened and investigated the matter
for his oTn benefit. He collected evidence
enough to convince him that Rosa and
RearDsy were making a living in the service
OF Englsnd. and gaining cheap notoriety by
planning explosions, deluding poor Irish
men into the belief that they were working
for Ireland, and then exposing everything
and taking the credit in England of having
befriended the people there, and in this
country humbly accepting the homage of
misled Irishmen who believed them to be at
the head of the aggressive party.

Marshal Wright was recalled and testified
that he had authorized two or three clerks
to sign his name to commissions. To Mr..

authority to E. G. Rathbone.
Thomas NJ. Cardwell, OF Hsrrodsbug, KY,

Mr.. Harrison, and said be would arrest all
the police in the city il they would give

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-But little patience
10 shown by the statesmen here with men
who enact such tragedies as the one which
blood-stained the office of O'Donovan
Rosa, in New York, on Friday.
Were such an incident within the
purview of q Congressional investigation the
participants would be called before a COM
mittee here, but it has been determined that
Congress can take no notice of such mat
ter, any more than it could attempt to look
after the causes which led to street fight in
Chicago or Indianapolis.
1t has been proposed, however, that an
inquiry be made into the necessity of legis-
lation on the subject of the manufacture
aud shipment OF internal machines, and it
may be that that will be done, if not
this winter then next. True
American statesmen believe the
dynamiters should be suppressed, and
that all the legislation needed on the sub
ject to bring about suppression should be
forthcoming. A few there are, however, who
will fight any proposed step of this kind,
even at the peril of our friendly relations
with Great Britain. They believe in dynsm-
ite and its use by the Fenisns upon British
people and British property. If they do not
lay so in Congress, they do in private, where
thty iDyeigh against publication.
Much comment has been made on the
subject of dynamite in diplomatic circles.
More than a year ago English authorities
called the attention of the President to the
statement that large quantities of dynamite
and internal machines were manufactured
within the United States, to be employ ed
against Great Britain, and asked that some.
thing be done to stop it. What was done is
| not known. 1t was done through the
Department of State and is State
secret. The legislators are pretty well
aroused now, however, and If the agitation
continues until the next session OF Congress
| something, it is believed, will be done to
protect English interests here. Now Eng.
land has to employ her own agents to spOt
refugees and others in this country conspir-
| ing in the work of dynamite.

THE JANSEN CASE.
Oficers of an American Ship Again Ex-
amined for the Murder of a RUS
sian Sailor.

LONDON, Jan. 12.-The examination of
dinand Koelpin, boatswsin, of the Ameri-
can ship 1. F. Chapman, for the murder of
Seaman A. Jansen, while on voyage from
San Francisco to Liverpool, was resumed
this afternoon. The case attracts much at
tention, and the courtroom was crowded.
The prisoners were arrested in Liverpool in
the latter part OF December, upon the ar
rival OF the ship in that port. Their arrest
was brought about by the testimony of the
crew to the cruel treatment of Jansen. After
Jansen, who was Russian Finn, had ship
ped, the Captain found reason to suspect
that he was penniless and sick. aud had
joined the crew for the sole purpose of Sc.
curing passage to Europe. Jansen's ina
bility was resented hy the Captain as a pre- =
tense to shirk his tasks, and when tqe SD ip
was two days out, that officer kicked him
savsgely, and struck him in the face because
he did not pull harder" in hosting the top
gallant sail. The second mate aud boatswain
took their cue from the Captain, and gave
Jansen such i'll usage thereafter that his
death, which occurred at sea, October 8, is
attr buted to the horrible cruelties inflicted
by prisoners. At a preliminary hearing at
BirkeDh head, probable case was made out
against Rsnschier and Koelpin, and they
vere remsnded. Hsrcourt, the Home Sec
retary, then assumed control OF the case,
and had the prisoners removed to London
TO facilitate extradition to the United
States, in case the American authorities
decided 80 prosecute them. The session of
the court this afternoon was occupied in
hearing the testimony of the ship carpenter,
Andrew Johnson. He fully corroborated
the testimony OF ] oseph Brisk aud Frederick,
able teamen. James John sEsars the pris-
