TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES, Of the past week condensed. WASHINGTON NEWS Senator Dolph's bill, introduced in the senate last Tuesday to repeal the timber cul ture, pre-emption and desert land acts, pro vides that in place of these modes of enter ing land, all persons entitled under the laws to make homestead entry shall be entitled to enter a section or less of desert or moun tain lands. Such hinds are denned as all lands exclusive of timber and mineral lands which will not produce agricultural crops without irrigation, and all lands which are so mountainous and roogk that they cannot be cultivated. It further provides that any forty acre tiact of which three-fourths is desert or mountainous, shall be desert or mountainous laud. The secretary of the treasury has trans mitted to congress estimates of appropri ated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1887. The total amount estimated as required for All fhe expenses of the governient is $339, 585,552, which is $16,678, 183 more than the sura cp lied for in estimates submitted last year, and $5,006,710 more than the aggre gate of the appropriation for the present fiscal year. The Sunday Capitol says that rumor has it that Mr. TiUlen's letter on coast defenses was prompted by democratic job politicians. It says: "Mr. Bar num. of Connecticut, an.l some democratic statesmen of the sort who have Mr. Tilden's ea, have got the idea that lots of money is to be made out of the construction of heavy guns and steel for formications. They are said to have care fully laid their plans to rake iu. millions. Mr.i&aiitiaii, hading out what was going on, hits -begus to stir himself to see that Pennsylvania does not get left in the grand distribution of contracts. Mr. Barnum and others who ere with him have stirred Bp Tnden to write the letter, which, it is thought, wid have great influence with democratic members of congress, and grease the way in both houses for the passage ot heavy appropriations. It is barely possible that our great coast upholders have ascer tained that Mr. Cleveland does not take quite so much interest in their schemes as they would like to have him, and for this reason they have invoked the voice of Mr. l'ildeu two days before the meeting of con gress an I publication of the president's mes sage. " questing congress to extend to f January 1st, 1888, the time when the land grant to the California and Oregon railroad shall lapse, and the state congressional delegation be in structed to do all io their powei to accom plish such extension. GENERAL NEWS PACIFIC COAST Three hundred Chinese are reported in a starving condition on Frazer river. They are discharged railway hands. The San Francisco labor convention ended in a dissension. The socialists passed in cendiary resolutions against the Chinese,: whereupon the Knights of Labor withdrew in a body. Salt Lake City has been full of .rumors of intended rebellion by Mormons. The gov ernment evidently anticipates trouble, as Battery B, from Omaha, has been suddenly dispatched to Utah. It is thought by some that the president's message will contain some expressions on Mormonism which may create a disturbance. The United States grand jury, at Sau Francisco, while making no indictments, ays in its reports, regarding frauds in con nection with the restriction act: "We are convinced that gross irregularities and frauds have been perpetrated, and that these could not have been done except with the con nivance or assistance of certain officials c m jiected with the customs department." The whole matter is theu left to the future) grand jury. Both houses of the territorial legislature met last Monday morning ac Olympia, and proceeded to organize. The council elected B. B. Day, of Columbia, temporary presi dent, and Eugene Wilson, of the Dayton Chronicle, chief clerk. The house perma nently organized with B. O. Dunbar, of Goldeudale, speaker; T. G. Nicklin, chief clerk: W. H. Hughes, .assistant; Miss Ella .Stoughton, enrolling clerk; Miss Bertl Piper, engrossing clerk. ' A special meeting of the San Francisco chamber of commerce was held Tuesday afternoon to consider the question of the Oregon & California railroad. A resoluti to was adopted endorsing that of the legisla lure instructing the senators and representa tives in congress from California to secure an extension of time for the construction of the road, to the end that the land 6rant to The Oregon Railway & Navigation com pany has dech red a regular dividend of 1 J per cent., and an extra dividend of i per cent., making the present dividend 2 per cent., payable January 2d. Representative Randall is strongly op posed to the scheme to change the rules of the house. He thinks the public interests demand that the appropriation bills be con sidered by the appropriation committee. . A call has been issued by the secietary of the International Cattle and Horse Growers association for delegates to the Bret annual meeting at Deuver, January 27th next. The representation adowed is one delegate for 53,000 cattle and horses. All range men ara invited, whether delegates or not. For speaker of the house the democratic caucus nominated Representative Bayard, and the republicans named Representative Reed of M due. The liti i;r caucus passed the following resolution: "That it is the sense this caucus that immediate steps be taken by the forty-ninth congress to provide for the presidential succession. " The republican caucus ot senators nomina ted Senator Sherman for president pro tern. Senator Sherman made a bri speech, ac cepting the nomination. It was then deter mined that the bills relating to the presi dential election and also to presidential suc cession which ha- passed the senate during the last congress should be introduced as soon as practicable, and after proper refer ence and consideration should be promptly passed. The democratic caucus nominated Senator Harris of Tennessee. Laud Commissioner Sparks has weakened slightly, and will issue patents where ex aminations have been made by government detectives and no frauds found. There are now about tv. euty ageuts and detectivts ex amining claims, and they manage to get through about four a week, at which rate it will take them something like 150 years to complete what Sparks has given them. He will certify to homestead entries where residence, improvement and cultivation have been made according t law. In other wonts, he will issue patents to mose woo have lived five years upon their homestead and hive in ol legal improvements and the araouut of cultivation required. A long letter from Samuel J. Tilden to Representative Carlisle has been given to t press. It is a suggestion to congress, and advises the expenditure of the suip.ua now in the treasury for the construction of coast and harbor defenses. The letter says: If we do not make the expenditure neces sary to provide for our sea coast defenses when we have a surplus and have no need to levy new taxes, we ceitaiuly will make these expenditures when we have no longer a surulus in the treasury. lo leave onr vast interests defenseless in order to reduce the cost of whisky to its consumers would be a solecism." Also: "The best guarantee against aggression, the best assurances tuat our diplomacy will be successful and pacific, and our rights and honor respected by other nations, is in their knowledge that we are in a situation to vindicate our reputatii n md interests. While w may afford to 1 e deficient in means of offense we cannot af ford to be defenseless. The noteriety of the fact that we have neglected the ordinary precautious of defeuse invites a want ot consideration in our diplomacy, and in justice, arrogance aud insult at the hands of foreign uations." roRiia-i Nil?.- Notice.
