that even tliou.h tbolmnsi. miiiv Mm
senate's action in the matter tht-lenso
would fall to the ground because the

and call for n confirmation or delega-

The bills of Messrs. Kendal and Cra-
mer are both after tho same oblcct and
anticipate no land bill becoming a law
at this session. It is not improbable
that many prefer the entire with-
drawal of the lands from the maikct
till the next legislature meets. The
main tight on tho bill as developed to-
day in the liou-jc Is upon the dlflerenco
of opinion to lease or sale
that Is between the

this dlllereneo settled an agreement

Quito a sensation was cicated hero
to-day by the disappearance of Ken-
dall's bill based on the leport of his
special committee to investigate the
linuduient disposition oi senooi lanus.
It passed the house about a week ago
and was sent to the senate.
It was found to-day that tho bill had
nover been teglstered by the senate
calendar dent and mat it coum not no
found; The bills nuinbeied immedi-
ately proceeding and succeeding Ken-
dalrsaie correctly eiHered and weio
found but the later is non csl. Ken-
dall was equal to tho emergency how-
ever and had n copy made this fore-
noon which will take place of the
mksing document. There is some-
thing inystoi ions about this business
and tho matter will bo rigidly inves
tigated. The senate calendar clerk is
absent sick.
The amount of the gen-
eral appropriation 1)111 for
the present llscalyc.us as passed the
house is $1820000 in round numbers.
This is neailv S00O.OOO in excels of the
conipti oiler's estimate. This includes
3131.000 nald to tho university on ac
count of bonds of doubtful validity.
On the other hand there must bo ad-
ded 5-276000 for the branch
asylum and 100000 for the
re'torniatory in case the senato bill
passes tho house as also the detleicnoy
bill yet to bo acted upon.
The houo will meet to-moirow uid
pass resolutions on the death of Mr.
Adams and then adjoin n. A com-
mittee will accompany the remains to
Wood county.
The railroad men have nearly all
none home for a few days. Tnoy will

NTmv York. March 15. Tho Timet
discussing the new railroad problem
ll says the nub-committee of the dry
Wabash gets only a small por-
tion of the ihiough business
from the southwest now. If
tho Wabash was. leased to the Iron
Mountain tho Southwestern system
would bo extended to Toledo and thr
roads centering at Bt. Louis would not
complain. If tho Missouri Pari tic gnvc
Its business to its Own lino that would
make Toledo in-tead or St. Imls the
distributing point and the Wabash
instead or getting eight per eeifl. of
the business would reasonably expect
tlfty or sixty per cent ami this
amount of business would innko
Witli tho Wabash iill tho dMerehce
In tho world. Instead of being barely
able to pay fixed chuiges the Wabash
would probably earn a dividend on lis
common stock the first year after the
new arrangement took effect. The

ST. LOUIS.
foods merchants who recent I v pott
tioncd for reclassification for domestics
which are now shipped as firl-class
freight met in consultation at Commis-
sioner Finks oflleu yesterday with rep-
resentatives of the trunk line roads.
The merchants present stated
what changes they desired
In tho classification tho argument be-
ing baed on tho fact that with the ex-
isting rates they were unable to com-
pcto in Cincinnati Loulsvllle.St Louis
and other cities for tho northwestern
trniln with tho southern manufac
turers who have now entered that
timrket ns aetlve and formidable com
petitors. Tho only roller the houses of
this city can see is the re-
duction In the classification
of domestics and consequent reduction
In freight rates. Their requests Jwere
listened to and they were assured that
they should be given ihe most careful
consideration. Tho question on the
Mir face seems a siniplo ono and the
suggestion of the merchants plausible
m ii mains afforded them for relief. In
realitv the question Is ono of tho most
foimfdablo as well as delicate the
trallle managers or tho latuua-is
have been called upon to
consider. It goes far beyond
the question of freight rate". It is a
question or tho rutuie existence of the
great cotton industries or the New
England states. It is a battle for life
by thoie liianuiaciurcrs ajiamgi. mu
offsprings in tho south. Tho trans-
put tatlon or these domestics Is a very
largo source or income to the trunk
lines theieforo It Is to their manifest
Interest to foster the business and pre-
Tuht all possible eiicioachiiiontson It.
In the markets of the wet they find
the young blood of Southern nianulae-
turlesand railroads foeinen such as

tKimlvn scale the manufactory

land products. These goods can be
laid down in at. Louis Cincinnati
Louisville and other centers at a less
price than New England manufactur-
ers can offer. The .South Is nearer tho
western trade centres and so can reach
consumers at a less cost
for freight than can the New
Englatulers. Then also lie deals
direct -witli the consumer when
New England (In accordance with
time-honored precedent) deals through
commission houses In tills city. New
England manufacturers have dis-
eased the proposition to take their
business out of the hands of commlslon
iiiowhtiiitti of this and other eastern
cities and dealimr as their southern
competitors do direct Aith tho con-
sumers. Their agents would
however cost them as much
as their commission houses
in this city and they find the Initial
freight handicap and freight rates
staring them in the face. How then
to maintain supremacy in the market
of the west is the question they are
trying to solve. How to keep their
business iu domestics nud their west-
ern tiade in their hands is the aim of
fl.o I'ommlss oners. J list noro rue

farmers are in much doubt about tho

Hying along the Mississippi do not
look for much trouble from high

from an overflow acts as a fertilizer.
