Bills Introduced in Congress.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-The first ses-
sion of the Forty ninth Congress- which
ended to-day, began on Monday, Decem-
Der 7th, 1885, and covered period of seven
months and twenty-eight days, or 241
days exclusive of Sundays. OF this time
the Senate was in session 164 days and the
House 1s5 days. During that time there were
introduced in the two houses 13,2O2 meas
ures, of which 1904 were House bills and
214 House joint resolutions, and 2,S9l bills
and SO joint resolutions of the Senate.
The measures proposed for enactment into
laws exceeded in number by 2949 those
introduced at the first session of the Forty
eighth Congress, which sat for seven
months and four days or 165 days of actual
working time. They covered all sorts OF
subjects, from the patient labOrer at the
Capitol for extra services to the complex
question of tariff legislation and legisla-
ton with respect to national finance. Or
the entire number comparatively few were
of what may be termed national I'M
portance. The greater number were
measures of private nature, or OF merely
local Importance The total number OF
measures that passed both houses were
1,1O1; PAL Senate bills and S6 bills which
originated in the House. Of this total
of 500 became laws with the Presidents
approval; 1S1 became laws by limitation,
the President failing to either approve or
disapprove them within ten days after
presentation to him; 113 were vetoed, and
one failed by reason of adjournment with
ont action nv the President OF the new
laws TAG were House measures and 24l
Senate measures. The number of meas
ures vetoed during the session were four
more than have been vetoed from the
foundation of the government to the be-
ginning of the session just closed. While
nearly all of the vetoed measures of the
Senate we've reported back from the COM
mittee with the recommendation that they
pass, Notwithstanding the Presidents OBJ
ton, and while similar action was taken
on some of the House bills, only One-that
granting pension to Jacob Romsier-was
passed by the two houses over the veto.

Anarchist Trial.

CHICAGO, August 11.-In the anarchist
trial this morning the State in troduced a
little evidence impeaching Spies testimony
as to his ill treatment by the police and
his declaration that Schnaubelt, the alleged
bomb thrower, could not speak English.
In the argument by Assistant State At
torney Walker, the speaker said the de-
PENDANTS, though anarchists, were entitled
to fair treatment and trial under the law
which they desired to throttle but if
guilty of murderous crime they should
be punished like other criminals would
be for the same Offense. The defendants
had every one been proven guilty of one of
the most shocking and heartless crimes in
the nations history, and their punishment
should be adequate with the crime.
Three speeches were made by the de-
fense and two more by the prosecution.

Desert Land Decision.

WASHINGTON, August 1O.-In the case
of the desert land entry of Chas. F. Wilkins
from the Los Angeles district of California,
the Secretary of the Interior has decided
that landslwithin the limits Of the execu-
tive order of withdrawal of Aug. 25, 1877,
for the benefit of the Mission Indians,
though then covered by valid entry, were,
on the cancellation of such entry, reserved
by said withdrawal from other appropria-
tions. 1t is said that this case virtually
decides large number of others Of similar
character. In the case of George w. Mar
cy ct al, involving pre-emption entrlas
made in the Duluth land district of Min
nesota, the Secretary of the Interior has
affirmed the decision of the General
Land Office, holding some entries for can
collation. on the ground that they were
fraudulently made in the interest Of the
John Martin lumber company.

THE failure of Congress to appropriate
for the salary of the National Park Super
intendent and assistants will probably re-
suit in their discharge, with what general
effect it is hard to fully predict. 1t is
probably another case where innocent and
meritorious officers are made to suffer for
wrongs done by others. We do not
think the experience of one Congreeman,
and he of the minority, would have brought
about the result. There was more gen.
eral suspicion that the Park management
had become personal perquisite of Sena-
tor Vest-a suspicion, by the way, that we
do not believe is well founded

Irish Affairs.

LONDON, August lot. d. Sullivan,
member of Parliament for Dublin, at a
meeting of the National League held here
to-day, made speech in which he main
tanned that until the tenants of Ireland
had sufficient food and clothing for them
selves and their families their landlords
could have no just claim TO rent. Sulli-
van cOunselled the Irish people to act ac-
cording to the law of self-preservation,
which, he reminded them, was the first
law of nature The Belfast riots, he
argued, was based upon the prejudices
and feelings grown up under the encour-
aging influence of foreign misrule, and
was of nature utterly at variance with
real Irish nature.

CrOD Summary.

CHICAGO, August 8.-The following crop
summary will appear IN this weeks issue
of the Farmers ReUie,r: The rains have
improved the prospects for corn in portions
of Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio and
Kansas while in Indiana the tenor of the
reports indicate an average yield. The
very large sections in all the remaining
corn growing States have as yet had no re-
lief from the drOuth and reports are now
coming which would indicate a failure of
the crop in wide areas The reports from
Putnam county in Illinois state that much
of the corn is fired in ear and some to tas-
sci. The entire crop threatens to be
failure. In Minnesota the corn has at
tained growth of six to eight feet and
the present outlook is for nearly full
average crop. In Olmstead and Blue Earth
counties the outlook is very good.
Throughout Missouri the prospect is not
good for more than One-half and three
fourths of an average crop. In Worth,
Pulaski and Lafayette counties the crop
appears to be almost ruined. In Mich igan
the outlook for corn is poor with the pros
pect of three-fOurths an average crop. Re-
ports from Wisconsin do not give promise to
exceed One-half an average yield. In Ne
braska the prospect continues good for
nearly a full average yield. The quality
of winter wheat is generally reported as
above the average. The berry is plump
and hard, giving promise that the grain
will grade unusually well. This is the
tenor of the reports from Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois and Indiana. The yield of spring
wheat in Iowa ranges from twelve to
twenty-five bushels to the acre. Only one
cOunty-Muscatine is reporting the latter
figures. In Minnesota the yield is report
ed at from ten to fifteen bushels. In Ne
braska the yield ranges from six to fifteen
bushels. Complaints are general from
Iowa, Mo, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois,
of the pastures drying up and failing.
WASHINGTON, August 1O.-Spring wheat
returns to the Department of Agriculture
for August 1st show an improvement IN
its condition in Iowa, small decline IN
Wisconsin and Nebraska, and heavy reduc-
ton in Dakota, caused by deterioration and
drought and chinch bugs. The heat has
been excessive in many districts that have
produced a. fair yield. Notwithstanding
the harvest is two weeks early than ususal
and the quality unusually good, except ln
sections where heavy loss from blight oc-
Cured. The general average condition Is
reduced from 832 to so. At the time OF
harvest last year the average was So

Drowned.

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE three
daughters of Henry Wyman, a fisherman
of Fairrockaway, aged II, 10 and 8 years,
went bathing in the surf Afterward the

from view. 1t is supposed that one of the
children got out beyond her depth, and
that the others went to her assistance.
When they entered the water they were
holding each other by the hand, the eldest
in the lead.

Sensational Statements.

LONDON, August ia sensation was
caused by statements made in court tt :
day in connection with the affairs of the
Briton Medical and General Assurance As
sociation. The hearing of petition on
the wind up of the association was in pre-
gress, and during the course of the pro-
ceedings the Judge stated that the failure
of the concern was due to defalcati0ns
which would exceed 100000. He de-
clared that every effort would be made to
unearth and punish the miscreants who
had caused the ruin of the association.

MINISTERIAL CHANGES.

Our ''By Authority column contains
an announcement that His Excellency
Mr.. AhoIo was appointed Attorney Gen
eraI, ad interim, on October ODD, vice
Hon. Dir. Kaulukou, resigned. This an
nouncement is rather tardy, to-day being
the 9th. 1t would of course be i'm
pertinent in us to say one word regard
ing the qualifications OF His Excellency
Mr. AhOlo, but we would suggest that
the duties of Minister OF the Interior and
Attorney General are Incompatible. In
other words, however we'll qualified Mr.
AholO may be for one or other office, he
cannot efficiently discharge the duties
of both departments. Perhaps the pub
lie interests would be be best served by
his taking the Attorney Generalship
permanently, and leaving the Interior
Department to some one accustomed to
transact the business Of that important
Office in both languages. The Hon. Mr..
KaulukOu is to be congratulated upon
his return to solid ground.
