EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Feb. 12.-The
proposed measure now in process of in
cubation in the house committee on
public lands, by which cash entries of
government lands are to be done away
with and the lands are to be held for
homestead entries and pre-emption fill
ings, is generally regarded by land men
in this section as very likely to
go through the present session,
and there is an impression
that within a short time
there will be no government lands to
speak of in this land district to be
bought for cash. Most of the land left
III this district would come under the
classification of agricultural lands, and
would be withdrawn from cash entry
under the proposed bill. This impress
sion has stimulated considerably the in
quiry at the local United States land
Office for lands for cash entry. Were it
not for the deep snow the land specula-
tors would have had out swarms of
'1and-lookers" by this time. Within
the past three days Lucien V. Ripley,
Fitch Gilbert and others, of this city.
have purchased about 5000 acres lying
in Chippewa county, at the local land
Office. A land boom of considerable
proportions within few weeks is
clearly indicated.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Business of
general public interestin congress is be-
ing delayed for the tariff bill, which
was a few days ago promised to appear
before the house committee on ways
and means this week. The majority of
the committee, who have been dill
gently at work ON the measure almost
nightly in a room at the treasury de-
partment, report very little progress,
however, and the GLOBE representa-
tive has information that it is likely not
to be laid before the full committee
until about the end of the month. None
of the appropriation bills Of general in
terest have been reported either, and
the outlook is for a very quiet session
till the tariff bill gets out of the way,
as the majority in the house have
arranged to give it the right of way
when it finally is reported. For the
week neither branch of congress will
have anything to excite interest. In the
house tomorrow there will be call of
the states and territories for the intro
duction of bills, and then everything
will give way to the consideration of
measures relating to the District of Co
lumbia. Tuesday and Saturday have
been, by special order, set aside for the
consideration of bills from the commit
tee on
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Among the measures to be acted on
under this special order are the ones
fixing the charge for passports at 81 in
stead of S., as at present; referring to
the court of claims the claim of the
Compagnie General Trans-Atlan-
tique for duties of tonnage ille-
gally exacted, and providing for
secure greater safety at sea, Mr.. Ding
ley'S tonnage bill is unfinished bust
ness and may be called up Wednesday
if the urgent deficiency bill is not
pushed to consideration. Friday is
private bill day. There are a number
of Investigations pending by regular
and special committees in the house,
among them the Reading railroad
strike, affairs of the government print
ing Office, the Fort Brown, Tex, mill
tary reservation, and the formation of
trusts. 1t is understood that Mr.. Wilk-
ins will permit his bill providing for
the issue of National bank circulation to
the par value of the bonds deposited to
go over the week, although the previous
question has been called upon it, and it
is Gil the point Of engrossment and
third reading.
THE SENATE
will continue work on the Blair Edu-
cational bill, with view to getting a
vote on it Wednesday. Mr.. Edmunds
has given notice that he will then de-
mand consideration of the bill incOr-
porating the Nicaragua Canal company.
1t is barely possible that the urgent de-
ficiency bill may come over from the
house sufficiently early to give the senate
an opportunity to act on it before the
end OF the week, but inasmuch as the
senate is in the habit of adiourning over
from Thursday to Monday, it is not
likely that any thing of consequence
will be done beyond that here outlined.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY
CommemOrated at the Repub-

ton.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The ami
versary of the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln was commemOrated at the Re-
publican National league rooms this
afternoon. The club rooms were well
filled with distinguished audience of
prominent senators and representatives
and league members with their fam
lilies. DR.. John p. Newman opened the
meeting with prayer. The speakers
were Senator CullOm, Fred Douglass,
Simon Wolf and Capt. O'Ferrell. DIR.
Newman, in his opening prayer, paid a
tribute to the life and character of Lin
coin and its benign effects on our ma
tiOnal life. Senator Cullom delivered
the principal address. ''Lincoln's
power" he said, "lay in his wonderful
to proclaim it to listening world
against all opposition. In this he was
more powerful and eloquent than Clay
or Webster, o. Calhoun or Seward. In
the conviction that he was right,
and in the persistent advocacy of what
he believed to be right. He arose above
all party claims and methods" In con-
clusion the senator said: ''The world
is made better by recounting the virtues
of such men as Abraham Lincoln.
There are none whose lives teach to
Americans grander lesson than that
of Lincoln. The study of it will con-
duce to private and public virtue, cor
rect ideas of our relations to each other
and inspire manly courage to stand by
our convictions of duty" Fred Doug
lass followed Senator Cullom. ''Noth-
ing new," he said, "could be said of the
life and character of Abraham Lincoln.
Not even with the aid of the electric
light can anything be seen that has not
been seen before. The moral and men
tai greatness of Abraham Lincoln"
said the speaker, sis more generally
conceded than that of any other man of
modern times. All classes, both at home
and abroad, revere his memory as that
of the highest type of American man
hood. The colored people, whom rep
resent, wish to share with you to-day in
admiration of his character and the
perpetuation of his name. You may ex-
tol him as statesman and as a patriot.
We revere him as man and as phi
lanthrOpiSt."

POTTsvn.LE, Pa, Feb. 12.-The heavy
snow storm to-day may interfere with
the resumption of the Shenandoah col
lerieS Monday. There is no indication
of a large number going to work. Ma
tional Master Workman Lewis and the
head leaders made busy Sunday of it,
attending labor meetings at half dozen
places and encouraging miners to hold
out. Father McEnroy, of the Ma
hanOy City Roman Catholic church,
this morning severely criticised the
female parishiOners for participating in
the wOmeD's Knights of Labor meeting
Saturday evening, addressed by Mrs.
Barry. The priest said the women were
helping to drive their men to destruc-
ton. They had no right to countenance
female societies, their place being at
home with their families. ANY way the
strike was wrong. A new complication
has risen in consequence of the men de-
manding that the advance be computed
in gross earnings instead of net. This
new trouble seems to center about the
Lehigh cOllieries at Mahanoy City. The
William Penn has conceded this point
sooner than have fresh troubles.

ingly made to remove them from the
college as quietly as possible, and Mr..
Lord, with Hyndman, the driver, and
several others, went to the college on
Friday night. But two policemen, who

young ladies. What was left of Mrs.
