Cheyenne, Feb. 6. Wyoming cattle entered on the winter siegi; better prepared than the Nebraska stock, ami very probably will sulfur less. At present the cattle are looking poorly. Whether or not the loss will be great will himgo on the weather to succeed. Should February weather coun terfeit that which the last week of the pres ent mouth has furnished, the stock will very irobably rally well and but trilling loss will be sustained. On the other hand should severe weather ensue, and be followed by bleak March winds, the suffering wiil be severe. A Beecfter Crank. Kewpokt, R. I., Feb. 6. Luther XI.

The oil excitement st tt ashiiuj;toii, Pa., has reached the climax.

This is oqual to 3,600 barrels a day, &l it has caused everybody to lose their senses. Even the most skeptical oil opera tives, who hive been watching the pla;e for weeks, have lost their heads and to-night are offering almost any price for ground. General Logan -Jominated for Senator. Spkinufield. III., Feb. (i. The republi can senatorial! caucus last night, by a rising vote and by acclamation, nominated Gener al Logan for United States senator. Three cheers were given for the nominee, and a committee was sent to notify him cf the action of the caucus. While the committee was out the caucus sang "Marching through Georgia," and were singing it when Logan, escorted by the committee appeared at the door. The music was kept up until he reached the chairman's desk and was intro duced. He spoke with much feeling, and expressed his profound gratitude for the honor done him by the caucus, and of his indebtedness to the people of Illinois for honors received at their hands. He alluded to the fact that the legislature was evenly divided,5fsaid if all the republicans stood by Kiy lie A-.i'beelec;eU. or would pre vent the election of a democrat. When he! was in the army and was opposed by an equal number of men, the eu-miy never got the better of him. He would not have any office unless it came to him honestly and he intende 1 to so conduct ths tight as to meet the approbation of all honorable men. Logan was frequently applauded, and at the conclusion of his of his speech was cheered again and again. After some more speeches the caucus adjourned . The Alaska Governmew Ridiculed. New York, Feb. 6.

The committee are hopeful of favorable action by the president, an I will remain here to urge the matter upon congress. TUc Captured Mexican Mutineers. Washington, Feb. 7. Secretary Lincoln has instructed Lieutenant McDonald not to turn over to the governor of Southern Cab fornia the Mexican Mutineers recently ar-! . ... . ,1 ln rested hy his command in Arizona, near the ; borderline, but to hold them, subject to receipt by the department of state from the president of Mexico of proper extradition papers. This action is taken at the request of tiie Mexican government. Of Importance to this Coas. Wa hington, Feb. "Senator Morgan to- lay reported favorably, from the com mittee on foreign relations, a bill introduced !y him a few days ago to construct and maintain a telegraph or cable line between the Pacific Coast of the United States and the Asiatic coa3t, with an amendment pro viding that the line must be completed within ten years. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Jan. 30, 1885. With dynamite debates and. resolutions in both ends of the Capitol; with - some at tention to appropriation bills, aud to a mass of rather unimportant miscellaneous matter; with the secret sessions of the Senate over the treaties, and filibustering in the House, the Representatives of nearly sixty millions of people have written another page in his tory this week. The work cannot be called creditable to themselves, cr profitable , to the'people. It is the old habit of Demo cratic dilatorss. But more of this anon. The Edmudns anti-dynamite bill, which passed the Senate with but one opposing vote, will provoke opposition in the House from other members besides the eternal twisters of the British lion's tail. Those whose constituencies are largely Irish will vote against it. A western member re marked to me yesterday that the laws against crime were ample, and the bill was superfluous. He thought if the Secretary of the treasury required his subordinates to do their duty, in the matter of inspection of shipments, dynamiters could not export ex plosives to England. In other words a large part of his constituents hated England to such a degree, that he was fearful they would remember to leave him out at the next nominating convention, if he voted for a bill that savored of sympathy for that na tion. There' are daily contests in the lower House now over the precedence of business. I une memoer arter another onngs nis iavor- ite measure forward for consideration. The roll call is taken, 'and usually the House refuses, by vote, to consider the bill. Hie other dav Mr. Hewitt, of Xew York. proposed the bill to carry into effect the ox'ani l,le Mexican treaty, but the house declined to discuss it. It will not be passed this ses sion. Congressman Singleton, of Mississippi, pressed forward the Congressional Library bill; Mr. Townsend, of Illinois, presenteil the claims of the Mexican pension bill; Mr. Stockslager, of Indiana, thought the public building measures were entitled to consid eration; Representative Hunt, of Lonisaua. suggested that it was time to take action on the bill for the encouragement of the Amer ican merchant marine"; and Mr. Henley, of California wanted to take up Northern Pa cific land forfeiture bills, which was agreed to. The first bill on the calendar, however, forfeited certain land in Michigan, and the House refused to discuss it. Likewise Mr. AN ADDRESS To tne People of she United States. the following address is furnished us with a request for its publication, by the Inaugaral Preparation. Washington, Feb. 8.

Tiie Pittsburg Dynamiters. Ptttsbueg, Feb. 8.- -The story that anarchists are armed and drilling here, and that dynamite is Btored in various parts of the city seems to have some truth. In an interview with a reporter of the Despatch to-night a prominent police officer stated that he hail reliabie4informatiou that dynam ite was stored at least in one place within the city limits, and that a iarge supply of guns had lately been received by Pittsburg anarchists, which he thought had been shipped from Chicago. The parlies having these arms, be says are foreigners, not work ingmen out of work, but an iruhists. Herr Joseph Quick, a prominent socialist, to a reporter of the same paper, admitted that auarehistj were armed in this city, and that they had regular nights lor drilling. He said there were "ten groups" of about 4000 members iu Allegheny county. Reduction of Wages. San Francisco, Feb. 8. A notice was posted in five of the principal foundries in this city announcing that the wages of the workmen would be reduced fifteen per cent. All the boiler-makers and iron-moulders in town held a meeting this afternoon, and after a long discussion, decided to refuse to accept the reduction, and determined to strike. The men go out on Monday in the Risdou, Union, Pacific and Savage shops. On account of the depression in trade, only a limited number of men have been employ ed during the winter, and these only on territory is run by the Alaska Commercial half time. The decision to strike affects company if San Francisco, whose object is directly only about 200 men, but indirectly to keep everybody out of the territory. It is believed there will be a great rush of miners .?xt season, in view of valuable deposits discovered the past year. Strike in a Carpet Manufactory. Lowell, Mass., Feb. 6. -Nearly 500 em ployes of the Lowell Manufacturing Com pany, chiefly weavers and boys, struck 1000. Irving M. Scott said tne re ison the reduction in wages was ordered, was dull tunes and active competition of Eastern shops; the machinery made in Pittsburg had been sold in different places in Califor nia for less than it could be produced in this city, aud that the reduction of forty per cent, iu wages in the East made it a matter of necessity with the manufacturers The Results, All persons feeling dull and depressed, or perhaps feverish, with no appetite, no energy, the system clogged. ! the Eiver torpid, the Powles inactive, who i are wondering how to find relief, should I purchase a fifty cent or dollar bottle of '. .p. , . , , ., i in only luuairsiK'i nvazuie u oyrup oi i iSs, reau Tne circular arouno me development of the Great West.

The strikers say their wagei are lower than ! paid by other carpet manufactories in the Hut little wheat has been shipped from to be decided by the people iu the coming elections. With such laws and methods as it might command, the fourth of March would have seen the new administration at work to accomplish its purposes, mindful that four years are, after all, but a short period in a Nation's life. Look at the Cleveland leaders in Congress. ' They are incompetent, and have no policy, no meas ures, uo i leas. Since the death ot the hor izontal tariff bill, the Ways and Means Committee has been utterly express'onless. Its head, Mr. Morrison, is thinking only alniut the Illinois Senatorship. The appro priation Committee devotes itself to stintiDg every necessity of the Government, while its Chairman, Mr. Randall, is maneuvering for the next Speakership. The Banking and Currency Committee do nothing. The.ln diciary, under Mr. Tucker, and the Foreign affairs Committee under S. S. Cox, is wait ing for Mr. Cleveland to say whether by and by, it may not be a good administration measure to build a gunboat. And so one might go through all the committees. Nothing has been done, and nothing is like ly to Vkj done. The Southern men have been out of power so long that they are awkward, and do not know how to lead. Their unexpected victory overcame them, and they are still iu a convivial, muddle in state. Besides most of them would rather assert that secession was right, and that Jeff. Davis was a pal riot, than bring for ward and advocate any wise measure of leg islation. While they go to dinners aud parties, drink, smoke, tell stories, and ig nore their duties as the leaders of a party, coming into national power, democracy is becoming a laughing stock. Their ambit ions are the ofiices, in those they expect to hold high revel, aud the looting will soon begin. R. pdjeers of the National League who are Daniel Dorchester, ojBoston, President. Albert H. Plumb, of Boston, Recording Secretary. Mr3. J. Ellen Foster, of Clin ton, Iowa, General Secretary. Joseph D. Weeks, of Pittsburg, PjPl'ieusurer. "Impressed with a deei conviction that an urgent extingency Bas arisen in the I histcry ol the Temperance Cause, a large number of persons' in 'all parts of the laud I have expressed the opinion that a new or- ganization of the temperaoce forces should j be effected on a broad basis, to converse and give direction to this important reform. For this purpose, after extensive consulta tion, a meeting was held iu B iston, Jan. 1, 1885, at which "A National League, (non-partisan and non-sectarian,) for the suppression of the Liquor Traffic," was or ganized, under whose direction we now ad dress the public. A great contest is upon us. A dire and barbarous foo eeks to throttle the Republic and no weak, doubtful or one-sided measures will suffice. The times call for combina tion, on a broad basis of unity. History abounds in iustauee3 of the usurpation anil tyraucy of oligarchies which were overthrown only by the uprising of the people. A formidable Institution, familiar ly called the Liquor Traffic, exerts a domi nant, deadly influence in American Society. It3 tyrannizing power is felt iu politics aud legislation, in courts and juries, in trade and fiuance, in literature and science, in schools and colleges, iu social and religious life. An oligarchy of nearly two hundred thousand men, engaged ill the sale of iu- me to claim the responsi bilities and privileges of government over fifty millions of people. H w far it has succeeded in exercising iis fatal sway is only too palpable in the evidences of wretch edness, crime and ruin all around us. Only a united movement of the people can overthrow this malignant despotism. To combine, so far as possible, all present efforts, and to create new agencies for de -livcring sojifcty from the evils which have proved inseparable from the trade of in toxicants, this National League has been formed ft members do not think it wite to commit the organization to any political party, nor to form a new one. As a matter of history, they remember that oligarchies are usually overthrown by the people, and not by divided parcizan action. The mem bers of this League therefore do not favor entangling this reform with partiz.au afiilia ti'ius. They believe their purpose will be soonest and best secured by keeping it clear of all such einbarasameiits. The work yf this Le'vgue must be largely to create and intensify public sentiment, seeking to build it up from the bottom line of true reform. Intelligent convictions in the heart's of the people, with God's bless ing, afford the ouiy true basis on which de liverance from the alcohol curse can be reasonably expected. To produce, strength en and enliven such convictions will be a large part of our work. The needed legis lation au.l ciif ij.o:ii; mv. of law v. iii sorely follow. PnWiu eoTtinrnS, soon shows it self :n legislation aud administration. We pr.. pose to build the pyramid no: from the apex, bni from the reve. This Ir.v-gce r.lo invokes an I expects to maintain the sanction ot law. in what they are wiiiii.g to call a crusade against this great organize I evil so much dreaded m the land. T'l- dealers in liquors ask that they may be i.-f, to tho same laws which govern other ti i les. 15ut when a man sells an article the us'j of which takes away the judgmeu; of h:;n who buys, he must, not expect to be left to i he laws which govern other tradesmen, for the State Dtnst inter-poss-and insist upon protecting those who are thus m vt unable to protest themselves. Is it said toat a common business and a common rii unite" the dealers iu liquors With a bond whidi in ikes s.ire they will act as one? Weprnpoia to unite -against them a hundred times as many men and women, who believe that the liquoi- traffic brings grevious calamities to the land. We shall use every prudent and right method to carry out our purpose, and ask all good people, men raa women, ot all parties aud creeds, to jomus in such endeavors. MISCELLANEOUS CA1WS. - -r- m 9 M.
