MILITIA ENcAMPMENT. Capt. 0.
D. Russell, of Canton, was in this
city last week talking up . militia
encampment to be held at Canton.
As the Governor will not order any
regular encampment this year. it is
proposed by the people of Canton
to invite six or seven companies Of
the militia located in South and
Central Dakota to spend three or
four days in camp at Canton, the
Canton people paying all the ex-
penses except transportation. 1t is
thought that transportation al be
secured for one or two cents per
mile and the expenses to the boys
made merely nominal. Since Capt.
Russell was here We learn that CON-
plete arrangements have been made
and the proposed encampment will
be held, commencing Aug. oath and
continuing to the 28th.

THE FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS.
Senate.

Mr. Miller of N. V, presented memorial
from a congress of workingmeu's clubs of
the United States praying for the passage Of
bill establishing rost-ofiice saving banks;
referred.
A resolution offered by Mr. Hoar of Mass.
was referred to the committee on rules, on
motion of Mr.. Edmunds of Vt, expressing it
to be the opinion of the Senate that it was not
out of order to refer in the Senate debates to
committee reports of the House of Represen-
:atives made during the present session.
Mr.. Beck of Kentucky called up his bill to
prohibit members of congress from accept
ing retainers or employment from railroad
companies which have received land grants
or pecuniary aid from congress. The bill
was pas ed without reference to any COM
miftee; yeas 81, avs l..
The agricultural appropriation bill was
taken up
Mr. Miller referred to the ravages of the
rice birds, which, he said, cause loss equal
to 81 an acre of all the rice cropin the United
States. The ravages of the English sparrow
he added, were very much worse than those
of rice birds and amounted to many
million dollars year. The sparrows
were rapidly on the increase it
was believed by the pathological association
of the United States that steps should be taken
to exterminate them. This association, Mr.
Miller said, wifi h was composed of amateur
ing excellent work in the investigation of Il Q
food and habits of birds that were injurious
to agriculture.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Dolph and
further amended by Mr.. George was agreed
to, appropriating $4,000 to aid in reclamation
of the arid reg on in Washington territory
by the sinking of artesian wells on govern
ment land
Mr.. Beck objected to the Senate amend
ment limiting to American manufacture and
matarial the machinery contemplated by the
House appropriation of $4,000 for expert
ments in the manufacture of sugar. but after
some debate the senate amendment was agreed

The bill was then passed substantially as
reported from the Senate committee.

Mr.. Hawley entered a motion to reconsider
the bill passed earlier in the day prohibiting
members of Congress from acting as attor-
neys or employees of railroad companies that
had received land grants or pecunary aid

that with a number of other senators he had
voted for the passage of the bill, but since
voting for it had given the bill some consid-

Agriculture In Mexico.

Although the main business of the
country is agriculture, this branch of in
dustry is carried on under exceptionally
Instantaneous circumstances. One Of
its greatest drawbacks is that the whole
country is divided up into emmense ha-
ciendas, or landed estates; small farms
being rarely known; and out of a popula-
ton of ten million or more, the title to
the soil is said to vest in not more than
six thousand persons. Some of these cs-
tates comprise square leagues instead of
square acres in extent, and are said to
have irligating bitches from forty to fifty
miles in length. Most of the land of
such estates arc uncultivated, and the
water is wasted upon the remainder in
the most reckless manner. The titles by
which such properties are held are ex-
ceedingly varied, and probably to con-
siderable extent uncertain. Some came
from the old Spanish Government,
through its viceroys; some from Mexico,
through its governors or political chiefs;
while over not inconsidcrable part of
all the good land of the country, the tt
ties Of the Church, although not recog-
nized by the Government arc still, to q
certain extent, respected. Added to all
this, there is marked indisposition on
the part of the large owners of real estate
in Mexico to divest themselves of such
property; and this for various reasons.
Thus, in the heretofore almost perma-
nently revolutionary condition of the
country, the tenure of mouablc or personal
property was the subject to embarrass-
mcnts from which real estate, or immopa-
ue property, was exempt. Under the
system Of taxation which has long pre-.
vailed in Mexico, land also is very light.

A despatch from New York says:-Colum-
bia Colleges latest step toward admitting
women to the same educational advan-
tages as men, contained in resolutions
passed by the trustees on the Sth inst.
does not, as the ladies had
fondly hoped, admit them to actual partici-
patton in college life Some time ago Co
lumbia admitted wome to the gular exam
matt ms of the college the same as men. All
this amounted to was that if woman study
ing by herself outside the college, could
learn enough to compete with the men
who attended the college lectures and
enjoyed the other facilities of the
the privilege of coming before the examining
board and proving her knowledge. The trus,
tees resolved further that the woman, if she
passes good enough examination, may have
certificate Of that fact, and write herself
down as much bachelor of arts as though
heaven had made her man.
President Barnard, of Columbia, said.
"The action in regard to degrees for women
was the outcome of the work of a committee
of the trustees, of which Mr.. Dix was chair
man. The custom at Oxford and Cambridge
is to award no degrees to women except the
honorary ones; in the honor list the women
names appear with the mems. At the Uni
versity of London regular degrees arc
awarded to women. The practice of making
young woman a bachelor has its queer
aspects of course, but there is no other ter
minus. The colleges for women, where the
subject must have received profound atten
ton, have devised no fitting substitute"

Interpretation Of the treaty, left at 10 O'Clock
of that day for bank fishing, except the Eliza
Boynton, which returned to Boston.
Consul General Phelan, in an interview
with your correspondent said that thu
captains of these schooners complained
that the sub-collector Of customs at Cape
Canso had warned them that they
would be liable for seizure il they
were found purchasing bait or fishing within
the three,mile limi of Cape Esprit, drawing
a line from headland to headland. If this
Interpretation Of treaty rights were su stained,
it would almost deny to American fishermen
the right to navigate the Strait Of Canso,
which separates Nova Scotia from Cape
Breton, except under espionage irritating
and annoying to the last degree. Consul
Phelan thought this an undue and unwar-
rantable straining of the treaty.
Tho sub-collector of Canso also inforT cd
these American fishermen that they would
not be permitted to fish or purch. bait be-
tween tho headlands of North Cape and
East Point, p. E. l. A straight line between
t ese points takes in the whole north side
of the land and makes a uniform dis.
tance from the shore of between twenty
five and thirty miles. 1t excludes American
fishermen from the profitable North bay fish
ing grounds 1t is undo ibtedly an arbitrary
stretching of the treaty, AMI Consul Phelan
was quite indignant in speaking of it, He
noted the complaints of the captains, and, Of
course, will at once communicate with the
State department at Washington.
With reference to the Adams case, he said
he could not state precisely when it would be
brought before the court here, but he could
say definitely that it could not como up be-
fore July7. Chief Justice Mcdonald, before
whom the case will be tried, is away on cir
cult, and will not be back before that time,
MIR. Meagher, counsel for the American
government, said the case would come ur
about the middle of July, not before.

a rather singular procession he saw in

set upon horse, and stick had been
lashed along each side of his body, to
kcepit in an upright position. The head
was not supported in any way, and as
the horse trotted along, the body seemed
bowling in every direction and the head
shaking in horribly grotcsque manner.
The widow, dressed in her mournful
paint, trotted along behind on lazy
mule, to which she kept vigorously ap-
plying the whip.
