dian Affairs, reported a bill appro-
priatlng SIS 900 to complete the allot-
ment of lands to the Cheyenne and

ity to enter the arena of debate, and
his remarks were listened TO with
great attention. He said that SIS, 900

Washington, Jan 2l.-In the SEN
ate to-day Stanford addressed the
Senate in advocacy of his bill to is
sue 100000 in national notes
and loan it on farm lands.

under the proposed bill any large cor
poration that was large owner of
Landslide land grant railroads, for
example-could not borrow up to one
half of the assessed value of their
lands.
Stanford replied in the affirmative.
Morrill, inquired whether there was
to be more than one place in each
State where the money was to be lent
by the Government.
Stanford said the idea was to have
an agency of the Land Bureau in ev-
cry large city and town of State.

tail very large expense, and Stan

be necessary in every State.

WATER FAMINE IN CHICAGO.
Chicago, Jan. 21.-The city is
suffering from severe water famine.
The trouble extends over the entire
city, including the suburbs, and is
caused by the stoppage of the inlet
pipes in the lake by ice. Private
families, factories and business build
ings are the greatest sufferers. The
elevators are closed down and fires
are banked to prevent explosions of
boilers. Business at the stock-yards
in the great slaughter-houses is at a
standstill and there is no water for
the thousands of furnishing animals
in the pens. Strenuous efforts are
being made to remedy the trouble
and it will be but temporary.
The inlet at the water works at
Hyde Park and Lake View was
cleared this afternoon, and the pumps
are now supplying water to those
districts.
In North Chicago the city railway
shops are closed and the schools have
had to shut up and the breweries are
much straitened by the scarcity of
water.
The switching engines on nearly
all the railroads in the city are in
danger of having to stop operations
for lack of water, which would
bring the movement of freight to a
standstill.
