The Senate hasdrawn Us parallel llnoojp

prepared to raugo It alongstdo tho sltnv
lar lino drawn by tho House Tbo day Is
llxcd for cnloglcs on the lato Senator An
thony. I'rct Ions to carrying out this to
iler or on to-morrow Die latest, the mo
tion will ho made to substitute tho Sen
atc's bill for all tho provisions ot the
llcagan House bill, after tho enacting
clause Tho decisive majorities by which
tho Bern to has voted down some of tbe
leading provisions of tho llcagan bill,
which Mr. Slater, Mr. Yanco and otbCM
sought to cngiatt on tho Senate ..n'easnrf
leave no doubt that this mo
tion will eventually prevail, though
probably more talk will bo hid before no
tion Is taken, Tbo Senile will then send
tj tho House a bill which differs so wide
ly from tho House encctmenton the same
subject that It Is preposterous to expect
the Houso to agree to It and tho Houso
will Insist upou a bill, tho leading pro
visions ot which hivo been negatived It
tho Senate by cry nearly a two-thirds
vote. Thus another lesson will ho given
In tho noble art ol "how uot to do It,"
Tho Senate conferees on tho bill for
feiting the liuds granted to thy Oregon
Central ltatlroad appointed Stturday,

give another lesson on tho sania subject;
and every Indication points to n still
further exemplification ot the Mtna great
science ot doing nothing lu lespect to the

An iflort will probably bo made In tbo
Houso to go on with tbo Indian appro
priation bill after tbe call of Utiles, to

est ol thoso committees hi lug the right
to move to suspend tho nil w and pass
upon iiij proposition they may present.
Tho call under this order rests with tho
Committee on Foreign Affilrs, which had
Intended to move tbo passsgo of the
French spoliation hill, but that mcasuro
having been disposed of, they nro at
liberty to ptoscut another bill.
Thu Military Commlttco follows, and
If tho suspension order prevails, may call
up the original Grant retirement bill
passed by tbe Senate last session.

The Grain Kiporls of New York Carried

Kew Voaar, January It.
Tho statistics ottho grain carrying trade
of this port for the year 1881, as prepared
by Mr. William 11. Ferguson, of the Pro
duce Hxchangc, aro very suggestive and
even startling. Not only has thero becu
a dicreaao in tbo amount ot grain ex
ported end the number ot vessels en
gaged In tho trade, but the figures show
that tha steamers aro doing nearly all
the business formerly doue, almost ex
clusively, by sailing vessels, and that
while crafts carrylug our own national
colors onco had a large share ot the
business, last year only two Amerlean
vessels carried grain from New York to
Kurope. The United States now stands
at tho bottom of the list. The vessels ot
the third, fourth and filth rate potters of
Huropo carry mora grain from New York
than our own vessels do. Portugal,
Spain, Italy, Denmark and Belgium aro
far ahead. Yet In 1880 thero were seven
nations whoso bottoms carried less than
ours.

Pacific west ot Fort Worth there are over
100,000 head ol cattle, aud they aro dying
at tha rats ot nearly 1,000 a day frotncold,
hunger and thirst. Tho situation, he says,
Is simply dreadful, 'the cattle will uot
turn against tho uortu winds aud seek
other sections for food, and there Is not
sulllclcnt help In that locality to turu
tbelr heads and drive it tin elsewhere. At
present no effort Is being made to drlvo

wllh but little delay tho linmensoherds In
