count of the hogs being wanted by both
uptown and South st. Paul packers,
together with the packers of MinneapO-
lis. The South ST. Paul packers are
not receiving anywhere near enough to
keep their large plant running with
that economy that accompanies an ade-
Quate stock to work on. They could,
and have in the past, handled forty to
fifty cars of live stock per day, and the
South st. Paul yards are being cleared

Hogs-Steady, Quotations nominally
unchanged. We notice better feeling
among the commission houses here re-
garding the outlook for live stock busi-
ness at st. Paul. The prices paid by
the Minnesota packers are more fayora-
BILE to the shippers than those of the
leading Missouri river markets, and
make strong contrast Of higher range
as compared with the Sioux City mar
ket. In looking back over the sales
mere and at Chicago, the figures are de-
cidedly favorable to st. Paul for the

pr ,fiting from any advance elsewhere,

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Tbe house
to-day passed the postotfice anproprla-
ton bill. Resolutions of importance in
relation to the internal revenue meas
ures now before the house, were intro
duced. When the reading of the house
journal was concluded, Mr.. Randall. of
PENNSYLVANIA, offered q resolution
(Which was referred to the committee
on rulesl providing that immediately
after the reading of the journal the
house shall proceed to the consideration
of the Cowlts bill, and that at O'Clock
the bill shall be reported TO the house
from committee of the whole and the
previous question ordered and the vote
taken forthwith; and in the event the
bill is not taken up at that date the or
del is TO be continuing until one leglS-
lative day shall have been occupied in
that way. After the consideration is
entered upon, no dilatofy motion Is to
be entertained. Mr.. Randall asked inl-
mediate consideration for resolution
fixing the hour of meeting of the house
at 10 o'clock. but this went to the COM
mittpe on rules under objection by Mt.
breckenridge, of Kentucky. After an
unsuccessful attempt by MIR. Chipman,
of Michigan, to obtain night session
for the consideration of the resolutions
accepting the statue of Lewis CasS, the
house took up the pOStOffice HpprOprla-
ton bill. 1he salaries of superintend-
entS of registry at Chicago and Wash
ington were fixed at 40 per cent Of the
salaries of the postmasters at those
places. Speaking to a formal amend
ment, Mr.. Scott. of Pennsylvania, made
defense of the conduct of the admin
iStratlOn in its observance of the civil
service laws as applied to pOstmasters
in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Cannon Sng-
geSted that il was not respectful to talk
of the faults of the dead. Consideration
of the bill being resumed, Intellectual
efforts were made by Messrs. Adams
and LAWYER, of Illinois, to have the ap-
preparation for increase OF pay OF letter
carriers taken up. A motion 10y Mr..
Cannon to recommit the bill, with in
struetions to report it back with the
classification features eliminated, was
lost-54 to 172. The bill was then
passed. The conference report on the
legislative, executive and judicial bill
was agreed to. The deficiency appro-
priatiOn bill was taken up. On motion
of NJ. Scott, of Pennsylvania, an
amendment was adopted appropriating
$1,000 to pay Daniel Lamont, the presi-
dents private secretary, the difference
between his present salary and s5,0u0
year, the salary which his successor
will receive. MIR. Conger, OF Iowa,
moved to increase from $4,000 to $685.

public buildings. After debate, the
amendment was rejected and the house

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. 20.-Sena-
tor Chandler's forthcoming report reia-
tive to timber cutting on Indian reser-
vations in northern Wisconsin. will
DOUBTLESS be devoted to the career and
actions of Indian Agent Gregory, whose
removal lndian Commissioner Oberly
vainly endeavored to bring about
through appeals to Secretary Villas.
Inc report will recommend the passage
of three bills Introduced by Mr.. Chand-
Ter. One makes it unlawful for any
person to contract for OF purchase airy
timber Oh certain Chippewa reserva-
tons in wisconsin and minnesota until
allotments in severalty shall have been
made to the Indians and approved by
the president, and until the interior
department has made suitable reguIa-
tons to protect the Indians in such
transactions: another bill goes into de-
tails as 10 the manner of purchase; and
the third prohibits any allotment under
the general act of 1887. "Unless the
allottee desires and intends to make his
home upon the land allotted to him to
cultivate the same Or to use il for
grazing purposes"

erItor from issuing certificate to Evans
(Republical) J. Gen. Clark said it would
not he proper for him to express an
opinion as to the effect of the decision,
as the case might come before him for
decision between two sets OF certlh-
Gates. Assuming that Evans will re-
ceive sufficient eel tificate, the clerk
figures that the Republicans will have
l6i and the Democrats f59 members at
the organization of the next house, not
counting the West Virginia members.
Should these two seats go TO the Demo
Gratis, it will leave the Republicans with
majority of three, but the admission
of the Dakotas, Washington and Mon-
tana will increase this majority.
