LOST IN THE WOODS,

The Sad Fate of a Gang of Laborers.
 OTTAWA, Jan. 21.-It is feared that a num- Der of laborers who were sent from Toronto in November last to work on the Northern railroad between Calender and Gravenhurst by bogus contractors agent have perished in the woods. Thirty men in all were sent up, the agent receiving so much per head from the men for getting them employment When the men arrived at Steny Creek they went to sleep and on awakening they found that the sleighs that were to take them to where the work was going on had deserted them in the night, leaving them to get out as best they could. They all started on foot for Callen- dar, but one by one, overcome by fatigue, had to sit down along the trail until the party, which finally reached Callendar, was reduced to six. The body of one of the men is reported to have been found, but nothing has since been heard of the oth- CT members of the gang. It is thought that most of them have perished and that nothing further will be known of their fate until the snow leaves the ground in the spring.

4Sth Congress---Second Session
WASHINGTON, Jan.


 SENATe.-Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, from the Committee on Claims, reported favorably a bill limiting the time for the presentation and payment of claims against the United States.
 Mr. Vest offered a substitute to the Okla horna resolution, providing that the Secretary of the Interior should ascertain from the Creek and Seminole Indians on what terms they would be willing to abandon all their rights in Oklahoma.
 What is known as the David Davis bill, to relieve the Supreme court by establishing court of minor appeals, was then taken up and discussed until ? p. m., when it went over without action.
 The Senate resumed consideration of the interstate commerce bill. Mir. Coke advo- cated the adoption of the Reagan bill.
 Mr. Hampton, at 4:20, moved that the busi- ness of the Senate be suspended in order that a fitting tribute might be made to the mem ory of John H. Evins, late member from South Carolina, and that the Senate then ad- journ, and it was so ordered.
 HoUsE-The agricultural appropriation bill was reported to the House. It appro- priates S546, ,29O, which is S109, 300 less than was appropriated last year and S152, ,o2O less than the estimates
 The House then went into Committee of the Whole on the Indian appropriation bill.
 The proposition to allow the Creek Indians s41 ,OO6, being per cent. interest on the amount appropriated last year for the pur.. chase of the Oklahoma lands from the date of the treaty of 1866 to the date of the appro- priation of 1884, caused good deal of de bate. A point of order against the paragraph was overruled on the ground that no reserva- tion of points of order had been asked for: Several amendments were lost or ruled out of order and motion to strike out the clause was rejected.
 Twenty-on of the fifty-eight pages of the bill had been gone over at o'clock, the time fixed for eulogies of the late Senator Anthony, when the committee rose.
 The Senate resolutions adopted on Monday were then adopted. MT. Chase, of Rhode Island, offered the usual resolutions and addressed the House in eulogy of Senator Anthony He was followed by MT.
