da, aud to report by bill or otherwise.
FRYE PROPOSES RETALIATION.
Mr.. Frye introduced bill TO limit the
commercial privileges of vessels OF for
eign countries in ports OF the United
States to such purposes as are accorded to
American vessels in ports of such for
eign countries. (ThIs bill provides that
when any foreign country shall exclude
any American vessels from any CONNER
cial privileges In the ports OF such foreign
country the President shall issue his
proclamation limiting the commercial
privileges OF vessels of the same cbarac-
ter OF such foreign country in ports OF the
United States TO such privileges as are
accorded 10 such American vessels.) A
copy Of this bill was also introduced in
the Ho use to-day by Mr.. Dingley, OF
Maine.
The Senate and House committees will
be stirred up by the New England men
TO act upon them promptly. Mr.. Frye is
a member OF both the Committee on Com.

Chicago and Northwestern Men Apply
for Rsinstatement Too Late.
CHICAGO, May 1O.--AIl the railways in
the city resumed.operatiOns this morning,
and are accepting and carrying all the
freight offered without limit. The situa-
tiOn. however, as affecting the freight
handlers is still unsettled, and has de-
veloped unexpected phases. The Balti-
more iaud Ohio road set It's men 10 work
this morning, cOnceding them an eight
hour working day with nine hours pay.
The freight handlers of this road have not
been acting in concert with the other
city freight handlers, and gained their
victory by independent negotiations with
the company. 1t is not known what ef-
feet this concession Will have upon the
other roads. A committee Of the striking
freight handlers OF the Chicago and North
western road called upon the officials Of
that road this morning, and expressed a
desire TO return to work on the old basis.
The company replied that the men had
been given full noUice TO return TO work,
but had failed to do so. AS a consequence
the company had its business seriously
interfered with, and had been at trouble
and expense in procuring new men.
These fill the working quota OF the COM
pany, and H. had no places TO offer the
men who had gone out on the strike.
The freight handlers flOcked back TO
their former places OF work this morning
TO 90 10 work, and a very large percent
age found their places filed permanently.
AZ the Illinois Central yard $50 reported
for duty to-day, but only fifty were en-
plOVed. Only one or two roads took back
the old employees in a body.

House proceeded to consideration of bills
reported from the Committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-The bill pro-
viding for free bridge across the POto-

An attempt was made to pass the bill to
prohibit bOOk-making and pool selling
in the District OF Columbia, Mr.. Hemp
hill, of South Carolina, remarking that
the time was auspiciOus for the passage
of the bill, as many of those members who
were opposed to the measure were alb
sent; but Mr.. Compton, OF Maryland, vig-
Orously opposed action en- the bill in the
absence OF the "gOod fellows" who had
gone to the races, and it was postponed
until the next District day in June.
The bill to punish the advertisement OF
lottery tickets III the District of Columbia
was next called up, and after some time
spent in an effort to secure quorum 1T
was passed. Several bills Of purely local
character were passed and the House
adjourned.

An nId Clnim.

WASHINGTON, May, 10.-The old Nor
decai claim came up again In the Senate
Post Office Committee last week. MOrde-
cal was the owner Of the steamer Isabel,
a vessel built for the carrying OF United
States mails from Charleston, s. o., via
Savannah and Key West TO Havana. This
vessel carried the mails for j years, until
in 1859 Congress adjourned without max
ing provision for the mail service. The
Havana service was then discontinued,
but after three months had passed the
New York Chamber Of Commerce and the
commercial bodies OF all the principal
Atlantic seap0rts appealed 10 Mordecai
20 resume the carrying Of the mails and
trust to Congress for rec0mpense. Nor
decai did so, and for % years past ne has
trusted to Congress in vain. Thirteen
Congresses have investigated the Morde-
cal claim. The senate Post Office COM
mittee decided 20 report 10 back % the
Senate without recommendation. the
amount OF the claim ~ S37.09l.9l.
The Supreme Court adjourned until
October.

CINCINNATI, May lO.-The situation

ful workingmen 20 20 with their
fellows is gone. Street repairing has
been resumed. A large number Of
workers Ia the furniture factories
are again ~ work. Where new men have
been hired they are not mOlested, and on
every hand are indications that the strike
is growing less and less formidable. Tho
furniture manufacturers have settled the
question Of an advance In wages. They
will not advance. The carriage manu-
facturers have made more or less conces-
siOns 10 their men, and work 10 being
resumed to-day under the new arrange
ments. Nobody now anticipates any
collision or violence, and the hope Is that
in a few days all trouble Will be amicably

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day rendered a
decision in three Utah pOlygamy cases of
Lorenzo Snow VS.. the United States.
Snow was convicted under the Edmunds
act for unlawful cOhabitation and sent to
prison, where he now is. He appealed
from the decision fthe Supreme COnrt of
the Territory of Utah which sustained the
judgment Of the lower court in which he
was convicted he Supreme Court of
the United States holds that it has no ju-
risdiction in the cases, and therefore dis
misses them. Justice Blatchford deliV-
ered the opinion Of the court.
He said that in the Cannon case the ques-

and as the case was decided at the pres
ent term, it had been decided 10 recall the
mandate and dismiss the case for want Of
jurisdiction in order that the reported de-
cisiOn may not appear 10 be a precedent

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The May crop
report of the Department of Agriculture
indicates an improvement in wheat dur
ing April of two points, with the general
average Of condition at 95. There is no
marked change anywhere, but a slight
advance is noted In the Ohio Valley, Mis-
souri. Texas, Tennessee, the Carolinas,
Virginia and Maryland. The MAY average
last year was 10. The season has been
favorable and the crop more advanced
than usual. The averages in the princi-
pal States are: New York. 90; Pennsyl-

cold rains on the Atlantic coast and by
overflOws on the Gulf coast. The pr0por-
tion to be planted in May averages 20 per
cent. In average years the proportion
does not exceed ii or Is per cent. The
stand is necessarily defective on wet
areas but replanting is rapidly filling the
gaps. The proportions already planted
are as follows: North Carolina 70. South
Carolina 81. Georgia SO, Florida %, Ala
bama 80, Mississippi 76 Louisiana ",
Texas 81, Arkansas 70, Tennessee Il.

WASHINGTON, May l0.-While the
season has been more advanced than usual
north OF the 3Tth parallel, the heavy
SHOWS Of early April in the West, and
the excess ofrain prior 10 April 10, have
retarded spring blowing. ltis somewhat
more advanced than usual In the States
between Maine and North Carolina and in
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Elsewhere,
in the South, Central, West, Missouri
valley, and on the Pacific coast it is be-
low an average. In the corn growing
States the preparation for seeding is later
than in the regions where small grains
predominate. 1t is estimated that y per
cent. is done in average years; 70 per
