DOCKERY COMtISSION DEAD.
Its Chatrman Did Not Want It l'rotoDlod
Under Itelltlbllcan Uotc.
WASHINGTON , March 9.-The Dockery
commission expIred with the close of con-
gress. Mr. Dockery was asked why ho did
not Inake an effort to have it continued and
replied that with a repubhiciin house be coulll
not hope to accomplish anything In the next
congress. Further , he was satisfied with the
record that bad been made and did not wish
to prosecute what would turn out a failure by
reason at not having the parliamentary power
to carry it through. Mr. Dockery was asked
what he proposed to do with all the recom-
mendaUons put In by the experts , and the
commission just before congress adjourned.
In reply he saId that nn effort would bB
made during the next congress by Mr.
Dingley and hImself to secure the enactment
Into law of some of the recommendations
made. There was one effort of the DoekerT
commissIon whIch failed owing to efforts at
the western senators. The commissIon had
recommended and the house had Incorporated
In the legIslative appropriation bill a pro-
vision to repeal a section of an act passed
In 1880 , whIch gave the successful contestant
at a land entry thirty days to file upon the I
land. It was claimed by the commission In
Its report to congress that this thirty days
preference right was premium upon contests
and many contests woulll not be Initiated It
the law was repealed. Mr. Docltery , who
bad charge at the legislative bill , Incorporated
the repeal In that measure and It was reported -
ported from the senate committee on ap-
proprlntlons. Late In the night after the
very stirring scene between Senators Chandler
and 11111 and when there was no longer a
Quorum In the senate , Senator Hansbrough
at North Dakota moved to strike out the
repeal.
This was resisted by Senator Cocltrell , who
Insisted that It was too Into to do anything
with the repeal and that It badbeen amended
antlsfactorlly. Mr. Hansbrough insisted that
a contestant who had spent time and money
In securIng the cancellation ot a land entry
was entitled to the benefit which the law of
1880 bad given him and that It was not rIght
to try to pass In the closing days ot congress
In an appropriation bill , such a radical change
In the land laws. IIIr. Docltery hall Intro.
duced the proposed repealing clause as a
separate bill In the house , but It never
secured consideration by any committee , even
that on Imbllc lands. The western senators
rallied around Senator Hansbrough In ad-
yocncy ot striking out the Dockcry provision.
Senator Cockrell made n point of order , but
VIce President Stevenson o\'crruled. The
vote was taken , but the result being In
doubt , the vice presIdent was about to call
for a division when several s''lators . , Mr.
Cocltrell among them , Ilrotestell and asked
for a v"'a'oce vote again. 'fhls was taken :
and the vice president agreed with , Mr.
Hansbrough that had : there been a voting
cluorum Iresent ' IIIr. Cockrell woulll have
ctllled for a yea and nay vote , but that he
was too anxious get through with the bill
that night. WIllie the bill was In con-
ference the western senators said that If the
Hanllbrough amendment was not retained
there would be II great deal ot talk on the
report In Its state , with pO&6lbllllles at a
disAgreement. and Mr. 'Dockery was coin-
pe11ed to yield on the result ot his comrnis-
sian _ _ _ _ _ _ _

No More Will Ua Issued 10 the Union and
Central Iacifle.
WASHINGTON , Much 9.-Secrotary Smith
has determined that no mora patents for
lands granted the subsidized railroads shall
be issued until there has been a settlement
of the debt due the government from these
roads. An attempt was made to get a reso-
lotion to tills effect through congress just
before adjournment , but It failed. As soon
all the resolution : vas presented Commls-
aloner Iamoreaux of the general land office
immediately suspended all work upon the
preparation of lists at lands wllbln the I
grants , and none were sent to the secretary
for approval while the resolution was peud-
Ing. Afterward when congress adjourned.
the commissioner felt Impelled to go ahead
a .
with the patenting of the lands to the Union
and Central PaclUc railroads the same as
with other grants , but with the announce-
ment at Ute secretary that he will not . approve -
prove any further patents to these roads
work will again bo suspended. Secretary
Smith will In a shor time maim an order
to that effect and give his reasons for such
action. He says that be thinks It just that
no more patents should be granted when the
roads owe the government such large suma.
II has been stated that n suit for mandamus
to compel the secretary to continue Issuing
patents w1l1 be brought by the rallroads.
When this was suggested to Secretary Smith
today he said that It would be time enough
to begin work on the patents when the courts
granted such mandamus.
The lands affected are wIthin the grants to
the UnIon and Central Pacific , between
Omaha and Sacramento. .It Is also thought
the lands within the grant to the Oregon
& California will bo affected , as It Is operated
as a part of the Central Pacific railroad sYII-

RUMORS FLOATED Molt A REASON.
Story Refuted that an American STark had
Been Wrecked by a Mutinous Cre'I'
WASHINGTON , March 9.-From reports
received at the Slate department tram the
United States consul at Cnllao , Peru , there Is
good reason to suspect lhat the strange tale
that came to Philadelphia In a letter from
Charles Jones ot a mutiny on board the
American bark Portland Lloyd and the wreck-
Ing of the vesel near Junl , Chili , wee put
afloat to cover the desertion or mIsconduct
on the part at some one on the vessel. Con-
sul James Starkle' has looked Into the mat-
ter and It appears that the report Is much
older than the Ilate assigned by the alleged
steward at the ship. According to the con-
sul's report the bark , whIch was built In
Maine and hailed from Seattle , put Into Cal.
lao toward the end of the last year. She
cleared for Junl , Chili , about December 1 ' and
00011 after storIes were put afloat to the
effect that tljo creW' mutinied , the officers
killed and the ship had been wrecked , with
the loss 01 all but two men. The consul
traced the story to letters written by one E.
M. Baker and another man , who claimed that
they had been the only men to oscape. Following -
lowing upon the Inquiry the consul made another .
other reports from Callao dated January 6.
In this he stated In reference to the report
of the wreck of the Portland that Plaggls &
Co. , the chartererll of the vessel at Callao ,
had received letters showing her to be at
Junl , Cblll , loading.

. WAShINGTON , March 9.-Three new
public buildings were authorIzed In the
sundry civil bill through the ettorts ot
Senator Carey ot 'Vyomlng. They wore for
the clUes at Helena , Mont , Cheyenne , Wyo. ,
and Boise , Idaho. The argument whIch
carried them through II that none ot these

one for a like amount for a site at. Olympia ,
Wash. When the bill was reported to the
senate Mr. Carey moved to strike out every-
thing except the three first named sites and
It was agreed to. What was also surprising
was the fact that the house conferees agreed .
to It and the three states which never bad a i
public building will each secure. one at the

eluded that there wall no probability ot the
commission having ; occasion to come together

mature and unnecessary , They expected tD
be called by tile secretary ot the treasury Incase
case any formal action III taken anti In that
event and when the commission shall be

remaining members , there will probably be
