Special telegram to THE BKE.
ALBANY , January 30. The senate commit
tee on commerce and navigation has reportei
favorably on Senator Arkdell's resolution re
questing congress to appropriate $300,000 fo
the Hennepin canal. Arkdell eaid it wn
essential that the resolution bo passad soon
in order that the pressure of sentiment wouh
be brought to boar on congress. The resolu
tion nnd project were for the interest of thi
state , at the present , grain rates from St
Paul by the way of Chicago were twelv
cents per bushel , while by the water route nni
by the way of Baltimore they \vcro only eigh
cents , this discrimination told against Nei
York's commercial supremacy and proposei
cnnal. It was believed it would 'restore t
New York her natural advantages. Mi
Lansing said the canal would send 400/00,00
bushels of wheat through Now York stat <
He was surprised to see New York City set ]
atora , who favored fro * canals , opposing hi
Ilennopiu canal , which would give Noi
York the c.immarco which southern railroad
now attract. Mr. Rabb said that ni n demc
crat ho could not vote for this resolution. H
believed that the state of Illinois , and not th
Federal government , should build the Hemic
pin canal , if It Is to be built. After muc
discussion the resolution was adopted ,

GOVERNOR OGLK3I1V. DELIVERS 1113 INAUGURAL
ADDRESS.
SPRINGFIELD. Ill , , Januaiy 30. Governor
Oglesby delivered his Inaupural to the general
assembly to-day. Ho dwelt at considerable
length upon the different stages of develop'
ment the state has passed through , as marked
by the tbrao constitutions which have been
adopted from time to time by the people.
The remainder of the address was confined
almost exclusively to a statement of his
views upon the various phases of the criminal
law , and to suggestions bearing upon registra
tion and election matters. Governor Oglesby
pointed out that many of the safeguards
thrown around the individual as a protection
against the cruel despotism of former agents
are now obsolete , and ought not to bo urged In
the interest of the criminal classes. Said ho :
"Ono of the steps taken now by those charged
with crime , and guilty of it , is to seek a
change of venue. I seriously doubt II a
change of venue should ever bo granted in a
criminal case. It can scarcelyba possible that
impartial jurors cannot bo found , in any
county where the crime may be committed , to
try any case which may
arise. I _ believe _ that plain and
simple justice requires that tno criminal
should bo tried where the crime was committed.
If , however , a change of venue shall continue
to bo granted in criminal cases , I reccommend
that the defendant shall bt required to make
application for ttio change at the first term of
court , when he shall be arraigned for trial , and
not afterward. "
The governor added : "I recommend that
the stain to bo so amended as to allow prison
ers arraigned for crimes punishable with death
or imprisonment for hfn , a challenge of not to
exceed six jurors and in all other criminal
cisos no' to exceed three , nnd that the
state bo allowed a like number
of challenges , and that if two or moro , be
joinodin one indictment for ono offense , that
the state shall be entitled to a like number ol
challenges , as may be allowed to the de
fendants. I base this recommendation upon
tha reason , which , I believe , experience
proves , that no honest nnd peaceable disposed
citizen can , in the nature of things , over bj
his daily life so ariay ngaiiut him any largt
number of hid neighbors , whoso secret hatot
and prejudices would bo of sucli
a serious character as to Ix
carrioi into the jury box. '
Ho favored the abolition of the practice of
swearing In votes on flection day. Ho be
lievcd the hour for closing thn polls should be
changed to an earlier ono than seven o'clock ,
and advocated alteration of the mode ol
selecting judges of election , so as to mak <
them elective , and providing that all of their
should not belong to ono politica
party. He invited serious attention U
the whole subject of election laws
saying : "Tho recent bold altemp' '
in Chicago to perpetrate upon the legal and
qualified voters of that city , a shameful fraut
which has become national in its infamy , ha :
revived a general solicitude upon the subjec
of our regUtrntion and election laws , through
out the state , A body of men who deliber
ntely conspire to rob the people of their vote'
and carry an election by such meann , wouli
without hesitation rob the community , estate
state , of its liberty , and bo first in any move
ment to inaugurate despotism , or to over
throw the government by anarchy and ruin.

Hoi > r naked unanimous consent to take up
the Union 1'acifio bill. lie said it was
an extremely important bill , It un
dertook to deal with vast government
property or indebtedness to the government
and undertook to remove from further dis
cussion a great many complicated questions.
The bill was ono that would excite n good
deal of interest in the country and Hoar sup-
l > posed ho was not saying anvthingthat would
bo disputed when no eaid it had created
n large interest among stock brokers. The
newspapers were full of charges and counter
charges regarding it and on the whole he
would make no charge against the press as n
body. Some of the statements were of course
inspired by the interests of speculative dealers
in stocks. The bill ho said , had not been
stimulated or instigated by any railroad com
pany-but was the result original
investigation by the senate judi
ciary committee , which had looked very
carefully into the wolo subject. Ifo did not
wish to push the bill to a vote to day , but
would like the bill and accompanying report
read , when ho would inako a short statement
on the subject , and then ho proposes to lot the
bill stand over till to-morrow. The bill and
report were then read.
Hoar continued at great length in the ex
planation and advocacy of the committee's
bill , his argument for the moat part being
similar to that used jn the report accompany
ing the bill , and heretofore published. Then
ensued a brief discussion participated in by
Hoar , Garland , Sefyell and Conger. The
matter then went o tr.
The inter-stat'o bmmerc3 bill was then
taken up. Push made a speech ppposinp the

Wyinan , Assistant Treasurer Acton , Messrs.
Dowd , Coo and Vermllyf a. bankers of Now
York. The secretary said , referring ; to the
conference , that their views were all in har
mony bn the general question that the stnto
national finances docs not call for any change
in the present policy of the administration ,
where no cause , he said , was apprehended for
any _ interruption in the general business pros
perity of the country , nor any thing to justify
the depreciation in value of the silver certifi
cates ,

RECIPROCITY TREATY WITH CANADA
provided it bo truly reciprocal in Its provisions
A lively discussion ensued.
Parsons , of Detroit , said that the troatj
with Canada , was abrogated for politic. ! ant
not for commercinllreaions. There is a dtron ;
sentiment in Canada and iu the United Statei
along the Canadian border linn in favor [ of t
new reciprocity treaty. The discustioi
broadened into a consideration of the genera !
question of reciprocity treaties. , and the sent !
ment expressed seemed to bn' in favor of sue !
treaty , if they could bo negotiated so as to b
truly reciprocal. Incidentally the pendini
of the Spanish-Amnrii an treaty came up , am
was vigorously denounced , without finding an ;
defenders. The resolution of the Now Yorl

Special Tolegrnm to THK BKE.
WASHINGTON , January -Randall has
returned from his visit to Prosid.int-elcct
Cleveland. His Inter view with him was long
and in the fullest confidence. Cleveland
earnestly desires Randall to accept n place in
his cabinet. Ho has tendeJod him the posi
tion of secretary of the treasury. Whether or
not Randall will accept is uncertain , Ho
knows that to leave tlio make up of the next
house to Carlisle with his own ramo out of
the lint is to run n nsk of that body , being
turned over absolutely to free tradeism. See
! o jg ns Randall remains there ho Is pretty
sure to be the head of the appropriation com
mltteo , or in a position to control to n great
extent the Icgislailon there Ho ia nfrnid of
the result to the patty if lie should go out of
the liouso , without some assurance ns to how
the appropriation committee will bo made up
iu the next congress. If ho can bo assured
that Ilolman will be made the head of that
committee with Burns second he will hn will
ing to intrust the control of purse strings to
them , nnd will bo willing to accept the
treasury portfolio , which Cleveland earnestly
desires him to have. It Is to talk frankly
with Cleveland about the make up of the next
houso. In case of his re-election now conceded ,
and In case of Randall's retirement , that
Cleveland has called him to Albany. If his
pledges are such that Randall can feel justi
fied in leaving the house , he will accept the
treasury portfolio , which Cleveland has for
months been urging upon him ,

WASHINGTON , Jnnuary 30. A numerously
signed memorial was presented in the senate
to-day , the principal signers being prominent

monism.
The house foreign affairs committee to-day
practically killed the resolution referred to
that committee on the London dynamite ex
plosion , by sending them to the sub-committee
with the understanding that the subcommittee
tee will allow the natter to stop. The com
mittee are opposed to presuming in ndvnnco
that an American had any connection with the
dynamite explosions , and prefer to wait till
some one shall intimate or charge that such is
the case before anything is done. A large
party of dynamiter Irishman , headed by J.
Omcagher Condon , have arrived here from
New York to oppose any movement in the
house looking towards sympathiV.ing with
Sreat Britain in her troubles , Richelieu Rob
inson says , if any resolution comes before the
fiouse on the subject , ha will olfer an amend
ment sympathizing with Ireland iu her efforts
to secure justice from Great Britain.
RepresentaUva Glascock , of California , said
to-day thU the Pacific const states were prob
ably the largest losers by the defeat of the
Nicaraguan treaty , and that it looked to him
as if the Nicaragunn canal would not bo hoard
of npatu. He says he thinks that the treaty
was defeated because of a suspicion that there
wan a job of some kind connected with it , that
thu United States was * going to get the worst
of the bargain as it usually has , whenever any
diplomaticmatter was arranged. Ha savs for
tins reason ho is opposed to the United States
having anything to do with the Congo confer
ence , believing that this country can keep it
