Some particulars about their business operations are furnished by Secretary F. D, Coburn of the state board of agriculture as follows:
 Their shipments last year consist ed of 23S cars and this year 257 cars, a carload ranging from 450 to 800 bushels, thus making their this years output well towards 125,000 bushels. Their market is found in every direc- tion, extending from Duluth to the gulf and from New York to New Mex ico; they recently shipped seven cars to Buffalo, N Y., which sold at S5 to 90 cents per bushel on track, and were pronounced by the handlers as superior to any others on the market and commanding the highest prices.
 Their intention is to plant next spring 800 acres, and for this purpose they have just purchased in Mile Lacs county (east centraD, Minnesota. 5000 bushels of seed potatoes for themselves, in addition to 4,000 bush els which their neighbors will plant About nine bushels are used on the acre, if the potatoes are large; if small. less quantity of seed is re- quired. In fair season and from northern grown seed a crop of 200 bushels per acre is counted on. This years crop netted the growers from 45 to 50 cents per bushel on track
 The reasons they give for planting seed from Minnesota are that such seed sprouts more slowly and hence can be planted early with less danger of being injured by spring frosts, and a yield of at least 50 bushels more per acre can be counted on, with fewer culls than if home grown seed is used.

declared that he would retaliate by OBJ
jecting to every request for unanimous
consent for the remainder Of the ses-
sion.
The conference report referred TO
was called up Immediately after the
reading Of the journal.
Mr.. Powers explained the nature Of
the agreement reached by the confer
ees. One of the provisions OF the re-
port which was cOmbatted, was that
providing for an issue of stock by the
new company TO the amount OF the
funded debt unpaid at the time OF the
foreclosure and limiting it to $l00,O00,-

With regard to the House amendment
requiring that as a condition prece-
dent to reorganization. the purchasers
should relinqush in writing all claims
TO lands granted TO the Atlantic and
Pacific road and unearned July o, 1886,
which the cOnfcrees abandoned, Mr..
Powers said that the question as TO the
forfeiture Of laid grants was now be-
fore the Supreme Court. If the court
declared they were not forfeited, he
argued that the mortgages were en-
titled to these lands. If they were for
feited no legislation was needed on the
subject.
Mr.. Terry. CDem., Ark opposed the
report. The House had provided that
the new corporation should assume all
the debts legally Chargeable against
the old corporation. He criticised the
modification OF this provision agreed
upon by the conferees.
Mr.. Lacey. (Rep., Iowa., fallowed
With a demand that provision for the
forfeiture of the Unearned lands be re-
tanned in the bill.
Mr.. Harrison, Dem. Ala one Of
the conferees, advocated the adoption
Of the report. He insisted that drst
lien should not be made subordinate
by legislation TO any other obligation
of whatever kind.

Charleston. w. Va, January %
The House bill providing for a State
Service Commission has gone through
the House with a whoop, but it will
meet with severe opposition in the Sem
ate when it comes up for consideration
in that body. The bill provides for
board of three commissioners to be ap-
pointed by the Governor at a salary Of
Sc per day, and a clerk at a salary of
$500 per year The duty of the several
commissioners is to ascertain what is
due the Federal soldiers in the late
war, known as the West Virginia ma
litia, or the Home Guard. 1t is claim
ed that this MALTA has never been paid
for their services, and it is estimated
that there is due this class of soldiers
in the late war in West Virginia about
$4,000 in the aggregate. 1t is esti-
mated that the commission itself will
cost the State something near 800 900,
and it is a question whether it will pay
to eXpend 100000 in order to give the
members of the West Virginia MALTA
a sum not exceeding $40 600. There
is also another difficulty about this bill
and one which will probably result in
its defeat. 1t is claimed that in many
cases members Of the West Virginia
MALTA who fought in the late war

Alr. Bryan told the people that there
was suffering. want and distress in the
land. He was denounced as a calamity
howler and as falsifer. Yet during the
present frozen weather there has been
more suffering. want and distress in the
country than was ever before known. He
told the people that they We're being op-
pressed by the corporations and money
power. and he was abused for arraign-
ing the masses against the classes. Now
Republicans are denouncng corporations
for not paying their share Of taxation.
He told the people that silver and gold
should continue to be the money of this
country, and that we should not wait
for the consent Of other nations. Now
the report comes from Mr. Wolcott's mis-
sion that America must take the first step
in establishing international bimetallism,
and that, too. at a ratio of 16 to l. No man

the train had moved on President Me-

hat off, bowling his farewell to the peo-
pie
When the train pulled into North

his acknowledgment OF the cheers
through the car window, but was finally
forced 20 appear on the car platform
and shake hands with the people. No
stop was made between Willamstown
and Troy.
