Baker of Kansas has introduced in the House a bill for the free coinage of silver, making it unlawful for any person to make any contract, note, draft or bill payable in any specific coin or currency.

Shipley is now a resident of Jackson county, Or. The House Committee on Commerce has decided to report the two bills to amend the Interstate Commerce law to meet the Snpreme Court decision in the celebrated Coanselman case, and also J udge Gresham's recent decision. The Senate Mines and Mining Com mittee has considered Caminetti's bill. Senator Felton, ex Representative Berry and Caminetti made statements, alter which the bill was reported to the Senate with Felton's amendments, heretofore printed, and Berry's pro vision, prescribing a penalty for viola tion of the law by the miners. Commissioner Ranm of the pension bureau appeared tbe other day before the subcommittee of the House Com mittee on Appropriations, which is pre paring tbe pensions appropriation bilL The original estimate for 1894 made by the Commissioner was (165,000,000. A subsequent estimate a few days ago placed tbe amount required at (172,000, 000. He was asked as to the reason of the increase, and explained his former fixures by saying be had presumed the new administration would not do as much work as his had done, but admit ted, if it did allow as many pensions, (172,000,000 would be needed. The President is still giving close con sideration to the subject of freight brought over the Canadian Pacific. Two new points have been discovered, vis. : That the original law specified that the consular-seal system was to be applied to freight which was the product of con tiguous foreign countries only, and that by the Canadian law United States con sular officers guilty of fraud in the United States are not amenable to arrest so long as tbey remain in Canada. A large bulk of the freight handled by the Canadian Pacific, and which comes into this country under consular seal, is the product of other foreign countries, nota bly Japan and China. Did this class of freight not enjoy tbe privilege of the consular-seal system, they would enter this country at an American port and be transported by American railroads. These two points are considered impor tant as giving the President, if he chooses by exercising it, the right of suspending the operation of the consular-seal system without action by Con gress. .
