Vashixoton, Feb. .14. The senate
committee on commerce at the last
meeting commenced the consideration
of Senator Gibson's bill for the improve
ment of the Mississippi river, and Sen
ator Dolpli's bill for the improvement of
the Columbia. The hearing was con
cluded at a special meeting yesterday.
Senator Dolph was authorized to report
favorably his bill appropriating $1,750,
000 for the completing of the canal and
locks at the cascades of the Columbia,
with a proviso that no more than one-
third of the total appropriation should
be expended in any one year. The .pro
vision of his bill for the construction of
a boat railway was stricken out, because
a bill for that purpose has already been
reported from the committee on trans
portation routes to the seaboard, and is
now on the senate calendar. The sec
tions making appropriations for ' the
mouth of the Columbia and the Lower
Willamette, and Columbia were also,
eliminated, as the committee believed
that adequate appropriations-could "be
provided for those improvements in the
river and harbor bill. Senator Dolph
was instructed to make a written report,
which he is preparing and will endeavor
to submit to the senate tomorrow. The
senator says the bill making an appro
priation for the Mississippi may meet
with favorable action in the house, on
account of the great number, of persons
interested, but he greatly . fears he will
not be able to secure favorable consider
ation there for his bill for the comple
tion of the Cascade locks. He will make
an effort and hopes to secure in the river
and harbor bill the provision, for the
completion of 'the Cascade locks.- He
had the assurance when the last river
and harbor bill passed that he should
receive at least one Columbia river im-
Lproverfent, a similar provision to that
given to Galveston and Sault Ste. Marie,
and no doubt the senate will accord him
that favor. -The only danger is that the
house conference will not agree to it.
Senator Dolph called General Casey,
chief of engineers, before the committee,
who explained the present condition, of
"all the works for the Columbia river, and
said that he bad not a particle of doubt
of the practicability of a boat railway
The fact that the city of Portland is ex
pending $500,000 to secure a deeper
channel to the sea, and that the .state
baa built a portage road at the cascades,
elicited much favorable comment from
the committee members.

' The Ninth Ctrenit Judgeship, .t ;
AVAsniNGXo'N,, , Feb. . .13. Various
rumors .have '.been floating , about re
garding tbe judgeship jf the ninth cir
cuit.' It--is said, among other thiags,
that thip position to Pritchard. 'of Ta-
coma,.haa endangered the promotion of
Judge Han ford from the. district to the
circuit bench..- Representative Wilson,
interviewed regarding these . rumors
says r' "I have absolutely no knowledge
of any opposition whatever to the ap
pointment of Pritchard. His indorse
ment has. been hearty and universal
throughout the. state by the leading
lawyers and attorneys in all sections.
He cannot, lfowever, be appointed until
a vacancy is created, and that vacancy
will not occur until Judge Han ford is
promoted to. the circuit judgeship, and
confirmed by the senate. The presi
dent states he will consider only the cir
cuit judgeship for the present, and-in
due and proper time,, should a vacancy
occur in the United States district judge
ship of Washington, he - will then take
up and dispose of that matter. . This is
the true and natural way to look into all
of the matters appertaining to the judge
ship in our section. The delegation is
.now and has been all the time uBing its
best influence to. secure the circuit judge
ship for the state of Washington. Tbe
president, however will give no indica
tion at any time of what he will do, or
what conclusions he has Reached. He
has stated that he cannot and will not
treat these matters like postoffices and
other federal appointments. An inquiry
at the department of justice develops the
fact that they have absolutely no knowl
edge of any opposition to Mr. Pritchard's
appointment, and I personally know of
none myself. Alb statements of this
kind are entirely without foundation."
It looks now as if there was not the
least possibility of any man from ' Washington-1
tate "being appointed and; the
contest of a half dozen men from Oregon,
two or' three from Washington and some
from other states have; perplexed the
president a great deal, and he may de
cide to go to California for his other
judge, but the Oregon people think that
when the appointment ebmes in it will
bean Oregon jnan. In spite of what
Representative Wilson' says, the compli
cation of the circuit judgeship has en
dangered the chances for.' the appoint
ment of a Washington man, not on ac
count of the opposition to Pritchard, but
because the president will not consider
these two appointments togetner.
Wool "Futures" Wsiitcd.
Washington, Feb. 13. The house
committee on agriculture waved, half an
hour today for President Lavionsse, of
the New Orleanes cotton exchange, to
put In an appearance, and then ad
journed: the anti-option hearing until
Monday. Vice-President Goss, of the
New York cotton exchange, while the
committee was waiting, said the ex
change had some time ago received a
request from the "woolgrpwers" .associa
tion of Texas,' asking the exchange to
deal id wool, th same as it did in eotton.
The request said the woolgrowers were
in the hands of a few men, and wanted
wool "futures" dealt in on the exchange,
so as to give them a wider market. ' He
mentioned this as another- indication
of the advantage of dealing in futures
and .as an evidence also that producers
were not, all of them at all events, clam
oring for the ebolitioa of the system of
"futures" on the theory that this was
detrimental to them'.

Washington, Feb. 13. The preeident ,
has transmitted to congress the letter of
the secretary of the interior with the re
port of thy Puyallup Indian commission.
The report is a bulky affair and touches
all the principal features of the matter.
Secretary Noble says fhe title of each In
dian is the land allotted to him is sub
ject to a restriction contained in the
patent upon his right to alienate or lease
his land for more than two years. The
state of Washington having already "re
moved the . restriction on its part,
tbe title of each patentee will be perfect
when congress shall also consent to such
removal. The value of land is fixed by
the commission at $275.50 per acre, and
the whole value of the allotted lands
is $4,766,130. Some of the lands near
the city are deemed worth $6,000 per
acre. . The water front alone has been
estimated to be worth some millions of
dollars. The commission holds that the
agency tract of unallotted larids is still
the property of the United states and not
of the Indians.' The secretary is of , the
opinion that under the treaty this agency
tract should be treated as the common
property of tbe trib, and if sold should
be sold as such. As to whether the res
ervation embraces the land between high
and low water mark the secretary gives
his opinion in the negative. As to, the
restraining power of al Una t ion by Indians '
of their alloted lands, the secretary says :
"It would seem to be the duty of the
government to supervise any disposition
that? might be made of allotted lands, to
the end that the Indians might not in
any way be defrauded." . Then follow
many suggestions for protections of . the
Indians against fraud, and providing for
any emergencies that may arise in .their
dealings with white men, as well as fixr
ing methods for' ascertaining who are
heirs of the allotters.

The Most Formidable.
London, Feb. 13. In the course of a
loug article the Spectator says the retire
ment of Blaine from the position of a
candidate for nomination for president
of the United States has brought the
presidency into special prominence. The
Spectator thinks Blaine's friends in the
republican convention will not allow Mr.
Harrison to be ' renominate '.. The re
publicans have an ideal dark horse' in
Robert T. Lincoln, minister to Great
Britain, who would prove the most for
midable candidate they could ehoose.
It adds this fact is already widely recog
nized. The Spectator deprecates the an
noyance Americans often show because
of England's interest in the presidency,
and says the English have no desire to
interfere;-out in. the case of so near a
relation they cannot help taking an. in
terest. The Spectator concludes : "The
American succession is really of much
importance to -us.. . The. people of this
county, despite their shyness and con
sequent churliness, are sincerely proud
of America," and 'they are anxious she
should choose 'well.' ' They do not de
sire, as Americans imagine, a' president
who wil knuckle down to England.".'

committed.' -The fact, that the razor lay

the last to use the instrument of death.
In fact, this theory is supported by k
note said to have been found in the room,
written by Mrs. Pardue's hand-, and

he concluded to- commit suicide, she
would take her own: life rather than live,
