UOPP'S LAND REVIEW.
Pending Legislation in Congress Railroad
Forfeiture Aots-Proposed Changes in
the Presumption, Homestead and
Timber-Culture Lands

The land matters now pending before
Congress in which the public is most
interested, are those relating to grants
and proposed changes in the pre-emption,
timber-culture laws.
With respect to the former, both
houses desire to take some kind of &C.
tion, but wide difference of opinion
as to the extent of forfeitures to he de-
clared is entertained by the members of
the respective bodies.
The Senate proposes to f,rfet only
such lands Us lie opposite the lines Of
railroads not yet completed, permitting
the grantees to take all lands opposite
and coterminous with completed portions
of the roads, whether the lines were con-
structed prior to or after the expiration
ofthe periods prescribed by TIL. grant
ing acts, for the completion of the same.
In the House the proposition TO for
felt entirely all railroad grants where
the whole lines were not constructed
within the statutory period, is very
popular.
This is an extreme measure to which
tho assent of .ba sono,o a. now cons,;.
tuted, will not be given, and one which,

Not Much Reciprocity About This.

OTTAWA, Feb In 1879 the parliament
of Canada placed an order on the statute
book empowering the Dominion government,
without reference to parliament, TO admit
certain articles free of duty from the United
States, when it was shown that such articles
could be imported into the United States free
of duty. An investigation shows that this
power has been ignored, and that number
of articles in the list referred to above are
admitted into the United States from Canada
free of duty, while Canada exacts a tax
when they are imported from the United
States. The trade returns for the last year
show that the following articles ara among
those referred to-the same having been i'm
ported from the United States: Plants
fruits, shade and ornamental trees and
imported, SIS Ash; duty paid.
SlS,OSl go per cent? Seeds of all kinds
value, $4,000; duty, i1,2I6t2j per cent?
Fruit dried and green and berries, amounting
in the aggregate to Sa6l go, upon which
duty to tine value OF $50, 10 was imposed.

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 4.-The Boston Com
mercial Bulletin has collected from wool
growers in all parts of the country statistics
showing the cost to tho grower of raising a
pound of wool In summing up the result
The Bulletin says editorially: american
fine wool costs the grower, without his own
profit or freight to mill, from to IS cents
more than the secured pound. according to
the grade, than the corresponding grade of
free foreign would cost the American manu-
facturer at his mill American medium
wool costs the grower from to cents more
the secured pound than free imported woods
would cost the manufacturer. The predic-
ton is made that the removal of the duty on
combng or clothing woods would destroy the
raising of Merno wool in this country.

A KNIFE IN THE RATES.
The C., NJ. & st. +. Starts 10 Per Cent. Cut

CHICAGO, Feb A. The ST. Paul railroad
| on Friday issued new tariff reducing rates
on all classes Of freight from Chicago to the
Missouri river about 40 per cent. Chairman
Midgely, of the Southwestern Railroad asso-
citation, at once issued a notice authorizing
all lines to meet the new rates, and before
the day was over nearly every road was
quoting the reduced rates. The belief among
railroad people is that there is to be a long
and desperate fight, which will ultimately in
volve the entire north west.
II California does not show up well In the
next census it will not be the fault of the
railways, as with their cheap excursions they
have taken thousands Of people to that state.
The latest announcement is that of the last
excursion via tho Missouri Pacific and the
Iron Mountain, from Kansas City and st.
Louis respectively The tickets are good for
six months aud the dates of start are Feb. is
for the Iron Mountain and Feb II for the
Missouri Pacific.
Judge Gresham entered final decree of
foreclosure of the Illinois division of the
Central Iowa Railway company Friday. The
decree finds that there is due on the mortgage
to the Central Trust company, of New York,

paid in ten days In default the road shall
be sold in Chicago, March II.
There is little friction between the Hi
nois Central and Chicago & Eastern Illinois
over the proposed parallel roads of these
companies from Tuscola to st. Louis. Both
have surveyed routes, and in some places
the lines are only few feet apart.
The Chicago & Alton is arranging to put
on limited train service between Chicago and

PLAYED THE DEVILS TATTOO.
Ike Weir's --latest Aohievement-His Wife
EnIivens the Show.

DULUTH Mimi, Feb. 4.-Weir the "Be.
fast Spider" and George Sddons, Of Illinois,
met here Friday night to fight fifteen rounds
for % and IS per cent of the gate money.
John Donaldson, OF Minneapolis, was referee.
The fight was foregone conclusion. Weir
followed his familiar tactics--lunging with
his right, his left, his head and shoulders,
and occasionally his legs, and playing
DEVILS tattoo on Siddon's ribs, or raising
blows on his face at will. Nevertheless Sid
dons was remarkably clever in lodging, and
occasionally surprised the invincible by a
home thrust. Mrs Weir was present on the
stage, and enlivened the proceedings with
her piercing screams whenever her dear hus.
band got a thump, until Mayor Sutphin, who
was bossing things in general way told her
TO shut up or he would put her Off the stage.
The first six rounds Siddons held his own
pretty well, the honors being barely in favor
of "the SPIDER" but after that Siddons be-
came groggy, his legs unsteady and his an
tagonist hit him where he pleased In the
eleventh round Siddons got his coup, being
brought to his knees with blow that broke
his jaw. He claimed foul that was not al.
lowed, and then protesting that he had been
fouled and that he couldn't eight 10 man
like that" he retired, aud "the Spider took
the victory and the bulk of the cash

Sensational Dissolution of a Madison, Wis,
Dry Goods Firm.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. A. -R. b. Ogilvie
and Joseph Zehnter, who for the past four
years have owned and conducted the largest
dry goods establishment in this city, have
dissolved partnership under sensational cir
cumstances Thursday night O1ivie boldly
charged Zahnter with purloining a large sum
of money, in small sums, belonging to the
firm, and backed up the charge with incon-
trovertible evidence which a Pnkerton de-
tective, who had been employed in the
store for ten weeks past, produced. Zehn-
ter weakened and the matter was quietly
settled by Zehnter turning over to Ogilvie
his 81 00J interest in the store for ST. Zehn-
ter then left the city. C.silvie will make no
criminal charge against him.
The case is especially sensational on ac-
count of the previous high standing of Zehn-
ter, whose reputation in every way was I'M
assailable. He has young wife and one
child. He has been devoting his lei ure time
of late to purchasing and stocking with
blooded animals a fine farm near this city.

Allen O. Myers Charged with Being the
Chief Tally Sheet Conspirator.
COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 4-Algernon Gran
vile was placed on the witness stand Fri
day morning in the tally-sheet forgery trial,
and although his testimony was interrupted by
objection to its admission, followed by argu-
mcnts that consumed the entire day, it was
the most startling that has been given so far
in the trial. Granville is the man who
claims that he helped do the forgery, and
has turned states evidence He said on the
stand that he vas first approached and
talked to about altering the tally
sheets by Allen o. Myers, i'll
Robert Montgomerys law Office; that
Myers explained to him that it was necessa-
ry to secure one more member of the legis-
lature in order to elect John X. Mclean, of
The Cincinnati Enquirer to the Unted
States senate to succeed Senator Sherman,
and that it was thought Franklin county
was the place to do it. They had determined
to make it appear that Edward Young, who
had been defeated, was elected. Robert
Montgomery also came TO him and said ''the
work must be done" Witness agreed to do
1t, and met by agreement Myers, aud Robert
and c. X. Montgomery, at the latter's office,
on the Thursday night after the October
election in 1883, to experiment on tally sheets
with acids and inks. 1t was developed that
the forgery on the sheet from the Ninth
ward, which was recently discovered, was
the result of the experimenting on it that
night.
Counsel for the defense here raised OBJ
lection to this testimony on the ground that
it was bringing in Il separate and distinct
crime for which the defendant, Robert
Montgomery, is not indicted. Counsel ar
gued on this point all the remainder of the
day, and the court reserved its decision.

North Erin hove in sight and then
coming alongside informed the cap
tain that he was n United States officer, and
wished to speak to him. The captain or
dered his men not to allow tho marshal on
board Two attempts failed, and at the
third, when a ladder had been placed to the
