MIXED UP.
This. According to Opinions Of tho Senate
Committee, 10 the Condition in
Which the House Omnibus Bill
Reached the Senate
Its Condition Will Prevent Its Passage
by the Senate, and there Is Prob
ably NO Time to Per-
feet 1t.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 2s.-
Thesenate committee on territories took up
the house bill passed the other day for the
admission of North and South Dakota,
Montana and Washington territories and
New Mexico into the union. After session
Of two hours one of the committee said:
1--WE have spent the entire session in con-
sidering the h use omnibus bill. It is no.
ticeaple for contradictory provisions and
inadequacy to get any territory or part of a
territory into the union as a state. For in
stance, section seems to provide for the
admission of all the proposed states upon
the proclamation of the president, while
section 10 seems to as clsarly provide that
none shall be admitted-even South Dakota
if 1t complies with the terms of the bill
without additional legislation by congress.
The sections illustrate the Inconsistencies
which seem to be fatal to the admission of
any state, until further action has been
taken by congress. The attempt of gen.
eral bill Of this character to provide for the
local necessities OF different territories,
seem to have been such a failure, as that If
any state might come in under its provisions
it would have been unable even in court to
ascertdi1 Whdt its fisnt' are. Livery tetfi-
tory possesses unique local features and ne
cessities, and the attempt to put them all in
one bill does not appear to bave been great
success. As the bill now stands it is prOba-
bly, the most complicated and most difficult
to interpret and administer that ever passed
either house of congress. If We are to pess
it the measure must be corrected materially,
and it has been referred to a subcommittee
with instructions to determine if its iucOn-
sistencies can be so reconcl!ed that We can
recommend its passage"

Defaulter Moore's Side of l,

and yet had heavy running expenses, and at

Moore declined to g y how mu ,h he had
lost in stock speculation. 1t is obvious that
his irreg larities with the company have
existed for years, yet nothing has been done
on the part of the company until the LIST of
January this year.

For n New Nayy.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 29.-In
Its report upon the naval appropriation bill,
the house committee on naval affairs sum-
marizes tie present condition and future
prospects Of the navy of this country. The
report says:
with regard to q new navy, congress
seems to have settled upon a policy of ap-
propriatipg toward its construction about
$4,000 C0 Fer annum. Your committee be-
iieye that thi, will build up navy as fast
as prudence dictates. Our navy department
and our ship building are utilizing, as far
may be, by every means in their power, the
knowledge ACCT ired from the costly expert
ence of other nations, but they must acquire
experience of their own. Too great haste
on the part of ths government would newt
tably result in confusion ard waste, aud
most probably in combination instead of
competition among ship builders. Besides
it would be an easy matter in this country
to build ships more rapidly than We could
supply them with armament of domestic
manufacture. Even in England, with all
their facilities, there is loud complaint that
the government and all its contractors are
unable to supply guns as they are wanted.
The manufacture of a modern high power
gun IL not only an expensive but slow ard
tedious process"

LONDON, January 2s.-The lord mayor of
London gave grand banquet in honor of
Mr.. Phelps, the United States minister.
The Daily Chronicle referring to the ban
quet says:
cess of the demonstration of England's gen.
eral good feeling. We trust that the Ameri-
cans will no. take our God speed to Mr.
Phelps as an act of vicarious penitence. Let
us further hope that the fnrce of prolopging
the tiff with Washington will be withdrawn
from the bill of diplomatic play house.
The Pail Mall Gazette deprecates the
feting of Mr.. Phelps. 1t says:
He is ,mm 0nplace diplomat, who has
done average work, and We will bid him
good bye without emotion or regret.
Diplomats, the Gazette says, attribute Mr..
Phelps treatment to the fact that the Amer
leans are pulling John Bulls nose.

Duties on Farm Products.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. January 2s.-
A petition presented in the senate by Sena-
tor Morrill, from Vermont farmers urges
congress to increas the duties on various
farm products. The farmers of the United
States, the petition says. are undersold in
many of our cities and towns by
the products of ill-paid or unpaid foreign
labor. Onions from Spain and Egypt
appear in markets as far west as
Chicago. Tobacco raised by coolies in
Sumatra, and imported, the petition says,
by tricks and frauds, lessons the reward Of
American growers. Wool clipped by slaves,
by convicts or by creatures scarcely less de-
graded. stops wool growing by an army of
American farmers, aud sends six million
sheep annually to the slaughter. Potatoes
and cabbage by the cargo from places where
women work daily in the fields come here as
ballast, with eggs by the ship load from
Holland cattle from Mexico and barley
from Canada.

Mysterious silence is maintained in regard

Samoa express confidence in their ability to
hold their own. As MIR. Phelps has not

Indian Territory lying west of the state of
Arkansas and opening it to settlement, con-

week were % per cent larger than for the
corresponding week last year at New York,
and 16 per cent larger at all other cities.
Railroad earnings also show that traffic is
large.
The demand for nearly all interior points,
moreover, indicate that larger business is
in progress. Yet it is undeniabIe that the
prevailing temperament is one of disap-
pointment. At southern points, after some
depression, trade appears to be improving.
In the northwest trade ia fully equal to that
of last year, and at some points clearly
larger. The supply of money seems to be
There are no indications of general unsound-
ness or overstraining of commercial credits.
The decline in wheat continues, the price
having fallen 3 cents for the week, as the
prices reached this week 49, to 1875 cents.
There has been some buying for export,
though not as yet for Great Britain. Corn
has fallen q cent. and oats are lower. Pork
products have also declined: mess about 30
cents per barrel, lard 20 and hogs 10 cents
per hundred pounds. Cotton is shade
lower, with sales of i21 ,0C0 bales; and coffee
y cents higher, with sales Of 233, COO bags
The market for copper has teen dull. and
tin is lower at q \ cents. Lead is also weak,
at $3.50; but spelter is quoted at 5 cents.
There is little activity in groceries, but the
sugar market favors holders. The general
average Of prices has failed off one per cent
for The week.
The supply Of money here increases both
by remittances from the interior, and by
excess of treasury disbursements over re-
ceipts, which reached 81, zoo, COO for the week.
The export of merchandise from New York
show gain OF IL per cent for three weeks.
The stock market is, nevertheless, so firmly
sustained that the average decline in prices
has been only 20 cents per 800 for the week.
The business failures number 342 against
a total of 3S7 last week and 81 the week
previous. For the corresponding week of
last year the failures were 269.

Attempt to wreck n Train

KANSAS CRY, January 2s.-An attempt
was made to wreck the Colorado, Utah Il
Pacific passenger trsip. on the Union Pacific
railway, at Wilson, Kan. A large lot of
heavy timber and boards had been piled on
the track, part of which was knocked aside
by the engine and the remainder run ov.r
by the train. The spot selected was where
the track runs on high embankment, and
Lad the train left the rails there would have
been fearful loss of life. No rea.on, ex-
cept robbery, can be assigned for the action
of the Would-be wreckers.
