Washington, p. C, Jan. 25.
Senator Allen thinks there is .more ir
tho bid which has been made to the gov
ernment for the Union Pacific Railroad;
than appears in the official statement ol
Attorney General llurmon conueruiu)
the foreolosnre proceeding against Urn
Road. That is why he offered the reso
lutlon, which, was adopted by the bi n.
ate, directing the Attorney. General t.
inform the Senate whether he had nuid
any deal with what is commonly knowi
as the reorganization Committer! of Hi
C P. Railroad, respecting the foreclos
lire of the government leiu thereon, to
gether with the amount that the sail
committee is to bid in the event of tin
foreclosure. He is further directed t
furnish the Senate the full text of tin
agreement, together witli the names o:
the members of the Committee and 111;
authority lor entering on the foreclosure
proceedings and for making such ui
agreement; There is a suspicion that tin
bid made to the government represent,
the present IT, P. management. N
proceedings can be taken against th
Central Pacific road and the Inane,
lines which owe the government niotic
before next January, and not thei
nnless they default iu their payments.
The Senate was sensationally incline,
during the past week. In the first pluc.
It held a session every day, something ii
has not done before at this session. Cyl-
ical people say, however, that it wasn'
on the amount of public business, bu
on account of a fight between two Wash
ington electric tight companies, and th i
proceedings during the "morning houi ,
,4
seemed to bear out what the cynics t.uj .
In the next place, Senators on the Foi
eign Relations Committee made publ'i
speeches protesting against public pro
sure being brought to bear upon then
' to hurry up and .ratify the uruitratioi
treaty. But the greatest sensation 01
all was the reading of a protect against
the Nicaragua Canal bill, which is now
before the Senate, made by a foreigi.
minister. This was a very unusual
thing. The protest was from the re
oently recognized minister of the Great
er Republic of Central America, and wai
sent to Secretary Olney, who in tun
sent it to Senator Sherman, Cliali iusl
of the Senate Committee oa Foreign lit
lations, who had it read in open Senate.
The protest says in effect that Nicaragua
will not recognize any contract made
with the Canal Company, which it con
siders to have forfeited all the concess-
ions it aver had, and closes by inviting
the U. . 8. government to o;ten direct
negotiations with Nicaragua for tin
building of the Canal, The very uutun
of this communication is such that Sen
ators believe it to have been inspired b)
Ursat Britain. Senator Morgan made t
red hot speech about it, and thero wilt
be more, but It has killed the Canal bill
aad it may be found that it has overshot
the mark and also killed tho arbitration
treaty;
Civil service reform circles have boei
interested in an Incident that will proba-
bly be investigated by Congress. A
1,(00 position as translator whs to bi
filled in the War Department, and th
Civil Service Commission advertised thai
- applicants would be examined and re
quired to translate into English Techni
cal Military works in French, German,
.. Italian and Spanish; to do typewriting
in all these languages; to do poof reaii
ing and prepare manuscript! tor the
press; to be familiar with motbrn library
, methods, the oUaaincatiun of books, oai
alogulng and indexing; with the English
language, literary composition, etc. Mis.
Maud Btalnaker, a young lady of Wash
ington, D. C, was the only one able t
peas the remarkably crucial examination
and was duly certified by the Civil Ber
vice Commission as the only one eligiult
but the War Department refused to ap
point her to the vacancy because she Is

New York, January 23, 1807.
Drab Sir: Wo have the pleasure o!
tibmitting for your information the fol-
iowlug particulars regarding, cotton:
The total visible supply of cotton in the
orhl is 131, 179 bales more than last year.
hales less than In 1493, and 478,-
M9 bales less than in tiM.
The amount of cotton that has beer.
marked to date la 1,453,101 bales in or.
han lat year, 847.031 Dales less than In
and 813,409 bales less than in 1801.
The exports tills year are 1,413,971
ales more than last year, 820,033 bale
m than In 1893, and 823,058 bales mort
then la 1384.
The price of cotton Is now 0.90 cents
leaper than lust year, 1.00 cents dearoi
.ban in 1893, and 0.04 cheaper than in
eWI for March contracts In Now York
Exchange, -
The stock In United States forts is 93,
Hi bales more than last year, 44, 44
tales more than In 1393, and 3,380 bales
nore tlun In 1894. .
The amount of cotton marketed from
September 1st to January let (fom
.oaths), of the cotton rears menllooeo
H'low, was f follows:
13U7. ,38!,V!I, IHW, 4,044,220; 1893,
,!Ki,07Si 1804, 8,4flO,0J. .
Toe avemgir amount received front
iaury let to tho cIom of the Seaaiin ol
ue past ten yeare was 3,134.817 bales. Il
is reciilve au equal amount from Dow to
ne en. I of this season, the total crop foi
.-WJ-ITC would be H,491,8S0balos.
Hut owing to the earlier Season and
r. er m ivemrnt of the crop, our advioes
r that shall see a greater falling oli
I receipts from this data than in pruri
tus ) unit, and It la not probable that wi
vlll receive as much cotton from mi
mill the en1 of the year as above staled.
The staiiatlcttl position of cotton
'irorsblc, and lite price has declined

I It h ii . is a siibiUntUI evidence of tl
fun ..n ib-ninnd, and nor advlere frnm
shroud Jinllfy the belli f that Inro run
sumption and nclivc liadeare likely
continue.
At home, many cotton mills that liavi
been idle for a consideraele time,, liavi
revived operations, thus increasing tin
leinnnd for the raw material, and a bet-
r and improving market for coltoi
roods can be conii lently expected. For
the past three years rigid economy and i
limimition in the consumption of manii
factored goods lias been practised by tin
people nil over the world, and the belie!
in a speL'dy return to noi ..nil conditions
is not unreasonable.
The iiiw year opens with ir.arkcd evi
lences of improvement in all the chan
nels of business. The enormous balanct
if trade in our favor and the mouelan
jondilions throughout the country an
lecidediv favorable for the beginning ol
in era of great activity and prosperity.
In I lii ; general improvement, an arlieh
like cotton, in universal demand all ovei
Uie world, susceptible of easy handling
ind attractive to investors and specula
tors, must share, especially when Hit
uipply is not in excess of the legitimate
wauls of the world.
Yours very Iruly,
