THE ELDER IS ABANDONED.
Every Attempt to Save Her From Total
 Wreck Has Failed.

Wreck Has Failed.
 LONDON, Feb. All attempts to float the Elder have failed, owing to the severity of the storm. The ship lost her propeller and lay helplessly pounding on the rocks, taking in water to the after-hold in such quantities as to weigh down her stern and make her position more than ever precarious. and all attempts to save her have been abandoned.
 Acting, it is believed, under instruc- tions from the agents of the company, the officers of the Elder refuse to give any explanation of the disaster further than to say that Sunday night was so foggy that they were unable to see any of the lights on the English coast while making their way mp the channel.
 At rough estimate the cargo of the Elder is valued at $ss, ,00O, not including the specie, which will be saved. The steamship is valued at about S70O, 900. Both vessel and cargo are fully in. sured

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Representa- tive Oates has introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Judi ciary a bill to restrict the right of aliens to own land within the United States. Col. Oates said:
 The general idea of the bill is to'pre- vent aliens and alien corporations or associations from coming into the United States and buying up and own ing large bodies of land. However, the bill does not prevent aliens or alien corporations, authorized by their char ter SO to do, from loaning money on real estate security or from holding, assigning, foreclosing, and selling under any mortgage or deed of trust given to secure the payment of money within the United States and its juris- diction. The bill, therefore, cannot be said to drive foreign capital out of the country, but in cases of default above referred to the alien or alien corpora ton can buy the land on foreclosure and hold it for period ofseven years. If, during this period, the alien or alien corporation fails to dispose Of the land it shall. according to the bill, be sub ject to forfeiture. The bill pro vides further that any aliens who now own land in this country may have ten years within which to perfect their citizenship or dispose of their property. know of the Scully case out in Illinois. There was in that case some dispute about the certificate of citizenship at tached to deed. This is avoided by the bill have drawn. winch declares that when any alien executes a deed of con veyance of any lands, and his or her chain of title fails to show the grantor to have been an alien, it shall be pre- sumed. to have been made by citizen of the United States, but such pre- sumption shall not be conclusive.
