(Similar Petitions were also presented by several other TWO PENSION VETOES. Also messages from the President vetoing the bilis granting pensions to John Reed, sr., and Charlotte O'Neal, Referred to the committee on penstons.

Mr. Henderson (N.C), from the committee on elections, submitted a report on. the Indiana con- tested election case of Kidd against Steele, and it ‘was laid over until Thursday. [The report, which 1s unanimous, confirms the right of the contestee, ‘Steele, to the seat.) OUTRAGAEOUS ABUSES UNDER THE LAND LAWS. Mr. Cobb (Ind.) then called up the conference re- port—a report of disagreement—on the bill repeal- ing the pre-emption, timber culture and desert Jand laws. Air. Stone (Mo.) sald that the rapid augmenta- tion ‘of the population of the country, the rapid decrease of the area of public lands and the grow- ing demand for homes has led the committee on pul vi tion for Sea coast defenses, ic lands to report a measure to the House pro- ding for the repeal of the pre-emption timber culture and desert land laws. Outrageous and scandalous abuses had grown up under existing Jane had been taken advantage of by cor a land sharks in order to secure mfl- long’ Of; -ecres of the public lands. These abuses the committtee hid sought to correct. ‘'The bill had gone to the Senate, which had ado ted a substitute for it, practically agreeing all that the House had asked. But it had gone further and inserted several provisions to which the House conferees could not agree. One of those provisions would result in confirming nine-tenths of all the fraudulent entries, amounting to mil- Hons of acres, The Senate conferees, however, had agreed that this provision be eliminated. District Interests in Congress. 4A POOR PROSPECT OF GETTING ANY FURTHER LEGISLA- ‘TION THROUGH THE HOUSE. ‘The members of the House District committee are trying to get a resolution reported from the commltgee on rules for another day for the passage of bills of interest to the District, but there is Uttle chance of their being successful. The com- mittee on rules, it is understood, is disposed to re- ort the resolution, except for one reason: The iriends of the educational bill and of some other measures to which there is much opposition are ‘waiting for such a resolution to come in that they may amend it by putt the name of their pet measure in the place of the District. In fact, tt 1s said the rules committee had practically decided ‘to give the District a day when they were informed of the intention of Mr. Willis to use that method Of getting the educational bill before the House. It 1s now likely that the committee’on rules will re all resolutions changing the rules, and the Biscriet wit thus be eut outers day (A REFORMATORY FOR INEBRIATES.

In a private letter of a most distinguished Eng- Ush diplomat now in Germany, I read this morn- ing these words: “It 1s the continual improvement of the French army and the readinessof the cham- bers to vote any sums toward it which cause anxiety in Germany.” This bein the increase of the German army can _hardiy be regarded as & symptom of peace, Indeed, the Standard Says this morning: “Does any one believe the Fre government or the French people will bein an! gree discouraged by the new reichstag accep the military septennate? We have dificuity in believing that if a government majority is returned the menace of European peace will be thereby averted.” During the last few days, too, there has been a growing seuse of increased danger from. eastern’ complications and the conviction that ‘these are more closely connected with Ue Franco- German troubles than had been supposed.
