American shipping interests have appealed to Congress for years for relief and American commerce has constantly demanded aid by legisla- tion in vain. _ Investigations have been instituted and measures of relief sug- gested but the committeo of commorce of the two houses of congress, occupied from the opening of the session to its close with equally important measures touching the improvement of rivers and harbors, have been obliged to allow con- sideration of such measures to rest until too late for action. This is especially truo of the committce on part of the house for their consideration of the bill known as the river and harbor bill com- mences early in the season and con- tinues with hardly an interruption to the time it is reported. T, then, they consider and report meas- ures touching on commerce, and the house sends them to the senate, the sen- ate committee on commerce has received the river and harbor bill, and its atten- tion in turn is engrossed by that. The committee believe a division of the labor of this important committee of the sen- ate will be followed promptly be a divi- sion in the other house, and the result attained will beamorethorough and care- ful scrutiny of the river and har- bor bill and a very decided increase of attention to other great and pressing commercial questiors. The republican senatorial committee appointed to arrange the committees will give Miller, of California, the chaifman- ship of the committee on foreizn rela- tions; that of the committee on post roads to Hill, of Colorado, and Senator Bowen is spoken of for th chairmanship of the committee on mines and mining. No change will be made in the chairman- ship of the committee on finance. MR, INGALLS' THREE LAND BILLS, The three bills relating to publiclands, introduced by Senator Ingalls, are de- signed to materially simplify the opera- tions of the general land oftice, and change- in several important particulars the methods of acquiring the title to pub- lic lands. The first provides for the re- peal of the redemption laws, but author- izes a second homestead entry by persons who, having made one homestead entry, have for any reason failed to perfect a title, and who at the same time never made a filing under the pre-emption act. The second repeals the timber culture law, but permits a title to be perfected according to the provisions of that law upon all = claims entered before the passage of the repealing act, The third and last of the series proposes to amend the homestead act by providing commutation thereunder until two years have elapsed from the dateof szttlement, one year of whichmust ho of record in the land oftice, 1t also repeals the pro- vision of the law under which local land officers are authorized to receive relin- guishments and immediately throw the claims relinquished open to entry. In effect it requires all relinquishments to be forwarded to the commissioner of the general land offico and to be approved by him before the land in question is thrown open for entry. The effects of this sories of measures, if they become laws, will be to limit the amount of pub- lic land a singlo individual can secure to one claim of 160 acres. Land may be secured after two years act- ual residence thereon by paying $1.25 per acre, or after five years residence for nothing. The proyision in respect to relinquishments as designed to put a stop to the practice of filing entries upon pub- lic lands, holding them for the purpose of selling the relinquishments to incom- ing settlors. Under the existing laws a citizen may obtain three claims, one cach under the homestead, pre-emption aud timber culture lawa. He secures a tim- ber culture claim without residence and many purchase pre-emption and home- stead claims after six months of actual residence, 1,200 DRAWING OF FEBRUARY 13, 1883 Chas_Rigney, Jr., Maysville, Ala., colle throughW.

A SIGN OF PEACE, The commissioner of Indian affairs has received the following dispatch of a suc- cessful peaceful settlement of the long- oxisting troubles among the Creck In- dians. The dispatch is dated Muscogee, Indian Territory, and from Agent Tufts “Porryman inaugurated chief of the Creceks. Isparhecte and Chicota elected delogates to Washington. Arrangements satisfactory; all quiet.”’ T MORMONS, The Herald's View of the President’s Recommendation, Satt Lake, Dec. 7,-The Salt Lake Herald, a Mormon journal owned by John T. Cain, Mormon delegate to con- gress, and others, says of the president's Utah' recommendation, this = morning: *“This most swecping measnro that has ever been proposed for Utah, is full of evil possibilities which become probabili- ties when wo reflect upon the character of the persons who would likely have the enforcement of the statute. When Arthur recommends the adoption of such an extraordinary measure for dealing with the Mormon problem as thus it is evident he con- templates vigorous nction in the event of congress uniting hands and giving him full swing according to his ambitious inclination. However, do not apprehend tho occurrence of anything serious or radical in the immediate futuro, True, Arthur has gone farther than any of his predecessors in the matter of recommen- dation, but if he will take the trouble to recall the events of the pust dozen years he will understand that the anti-Mormon storm that is raging throughout the land is not more violent than storms that break out previous to the_assembling of congress every winter. Within tho rec- ollcction of people of this generation the question has been discussed all over the territory and the church leaders agitated. —— RAILROAD MATTERS, THE TOWA COMMIS Des Moizes, Ta., December vance sheets of the railroad commission- ers’ report to the governor for the year ended June 30, 1883, shows a total mile- age of 7,010 in the state.

Cuicaco, Dee. 7.—Business on the board of trade during the week has been very large, and active markets havo ruled nearly overy day, . The bulk of spocula- tion has been in eorn, the May option leading, although the near months have been very active, Cash or December corn is believed t6 be owned by one house and fears of a corner in January are widespread, Itis positively known that immense lines of corn bought at 5 to 10 cents below present prices are not yet sold. Strong local houses and New Yorkers are credited with being the largest holders of May and January corn. The country has bought most liberally of the former option. Despite great efforts to break it the price continuea firm in the neighbor- hood of G0. It is the prevalent opinion that should it touch 61 and stay there one day speoulation in it wil.l'bn even wilder than heretofore. The ¢orn crop no doubt is very shprt and reports from every section the stories of scarcity. The crop, it is aid, will be absorbed m@stly in Towa for home consumption. Wheatjis more active. The May option is favorite. The nervousness of wheat is illustrated by its prompt response to every rumor of foreign war, ete. In sympathy with corn_it has soveral times bulged up A@3c. The export demand shows no improvement and the visible supply a large weekly increase, notwith- standing which there are as many opera- tors who believe wheat will suddenly start up 10@lc higher as there are of those who prognosticate the gloomy fu- ture of this crop. An open winter i re- arded as not favorable to the new crop. Kew York speculators are the heaviest bulls, They hold yet enormous lines of wheat bought at $1.00. Oats and barley shared in the general activity, attracting much attention and fluctuating over a range of 2}@3c. Provisions are very active, and tending higher. Mess pork has ranged upward 50@7be. February pork sold Friday at $15.00. Receipts of hogs were very heavy, but at present prices packers can make no money.

Quietude has ruled in the dry goods, iron, crockery, millinery and fancy goods trade. The markets generally are firm, but buyers are not numerous. Groceries, sugars, teas and coffecs are fairly active. The financial situation is undisturbed by the recent failures. Money continues easy, and the demand for discounts does not average.

The use of combs and soap are forbidden and the prisoners, especially womes whose hair is allowed to grow, are lite ally devoured by lice. The jailers ar only kind to those having money.
