The opposition to Stanleytatthows
is ( [ taking t a turn that isX Bsidered
more iamaglng to hit cha J of con
firmation than the TaRC negations
used against him before. It ia aaid to
banow inontable that a long'nnd hot
ly contested litigatinn will ensue be
tween the government and the Gentrcl
Pacific raihoad. The government
claims under the law 25 per cent cf
the eet * earnings of the company.
jThit , according to the ropoits of Au
ditor French , the road has been i-vtd-
B in # , in parf , by a eystom of swindling
that ho declares -must bo checked. The
question trill then come up as to the
constitutipnality of 'this law , under
which the. g ivermaont demands the
annuity. Three of the judges on the
bench are already on record on the
side of the government. Two have
decided that the law is unconstitu
tional , and that the government has
no xight to the payment of the money.
Mr. Matthews Is on record as holding
the same opinion. This would make
the court three ono way and three the
other , with Judge Woods uncurtain ,
he never having been cnlled on for an
opinion. Judges Clifford and Hunt

with the surplus revenues and a portion
tion of the available cash now In the
treasury , and that it would bo better
in every sense to reduce tbo Interest
charge by redeeming $200,000,000. or
even $150,000,000 of these high rate
bonds in this way than to disturb the
business of the country and put the
government to the expense of an ex
tra session of congress. It ia estima
ted at the treasury department that
the surplus revenua for the ten
months of the present calendar year
will be $100,000,000 , aud , ehould this
sum be realized , there can be no
doubt that the secretary of the treas
ury would bo able to take up and can
cel $150,000,000 of the outstanding G
per cent bonds before January 1 next.
THE SAVINS THAT WOULD RESULT FROM
SUCH A COUESE ,
when the expense of an extra seaaifn
is considered , would equal that which
"would he effected by any refunding
measure that might bo passed at an
extra session. It waa urged that ,
should an extra session be called , an
Imperfect refunding bill would bo
passed , or , should anything be done
that would disturb business , the re
publican party would bo held respon
sible , and would inevitably suffer
damage In the coming election in con
sequence ; that it was a mistake to sup
pose that the republicans would stand
solid for a-refunding bill with a higher
rate of interest than 3 per cent. , or
that they could bo held together
against such a provisieu as the Car
lisle section of the vetotd bill of the
last session. "It is easy , " said one of
the president's visitors , "to convene
congress , but what will you get when
congress Is convened ? Will you got
such a refunding bill as you would like
to have , and
WILL CONGRESS STOP LEGISLATING
when such a measure Is perfected ? "
Mr. Heed , of Maine , another can
didate for the speakorahlp , is known
to be opposed to an extra session. The
president himself is reported to have
stated that , although inclined to the
belief that an extra session is neces
sary to provide for refunding matur
ing bonds , yet desires to avoid exiling
congress if it be possible to maintain
tbe public credit and provide under
existing laws for taking care of the
maturing obligations without serloua
embarrassment of the treasury. It
undoubtedly ia a fact that the repub
licans would not ba ' united upon "any
refunding bill wh'ich should include
some of the principles of the fifth , or
Carlisle ccctionof , the vetoed bill. The
action of the banks In withdrawing
their circulation haa called attention to
THEXNORMOUS POWER VESTED IN THE
BAKES
by what is called the elasticity section ,
or section 4 of the act of Juno 14 ,
1874. A number of republicans who
were at first opposed to a 3 per cent.
t bond have since the adjournment of
I congress said that it was dangerous to
, permit the banks to retain thopowcr
to contract or refund the currency at
their own pleasure , ro ecch fc power
might bo need for corrupt purposes by
gigantic combinations which would be
able at any time to disturb values and
to fix prices fur speculative objects.
There tis reason to believe that the
secretary of the treasury ia opposed to
an extra session.

THE CROP REPORT ,
The recent great storm prevallin ;
in the wheat-growing region of th
country , haa caused considerable anx
lety about the winter wheat crop. Th
bureau cf agriculture Is in receipt o
numerous inquiries for informatioi
on theaubject , but have not answerei
them for the reason that their last re
port was made out before the recen
storms. 'The ' 'bureau will not Issu
their report until April 15. That re
port will show the acreage and csndl
ticn of crops up to and including th
first of ApriL Reports received up t
date are generally favorable , and i
the recent storms have not serious !
injured the crops , th afield will n
doubt bo fully equal to that of las
yeasv-x Of oosne , there can bo no con
parisun "between the conditto
of the crop on the first c
April last year and its condition to b

Iowa Railroads.
) cj Molnes Correspondence- ( Chicago Tribune.
A now railroad project haa come to
; be front'quite prominently within
the past week , the Dea Molnes , Osco-
old & Southern. It is proposed tc
build from this city through a cornei
of Madison county , thence through
Warren and Clark counties to" Oaceo-
la , on the Chicago , Burlington &
Qaincy. Mr. Harding , a prominonl
banker of Osceola , i } the president ol
the company. It is said the company
tHat ia required to build the road ia s
5 per cent tax voted along the line.
This the townships are now working
up , and there ia little doubt it will be
secured.
The Des Moines & St. Louis , alias
Wabash , is in a quandary. Three
routes ara proposed. On one route
the towns on the north cud hive
voted a tax , two'towna on the south
thooght they could avoid it , and gel
the road anyhow. On another route
alternate towns have voted s
tax. On the other route the
south end has given it the neces
sary support. The company ia now
bothered to knqw which route to take ,
and the timeTs getting short , as the
road must be built and in operation
Oct. , 1. Ten days' time haa been
given the different routes to complete
( the tax1 , when the company will aelecl
the route on ita own motion.
The Dea Moinea and 'Kinsaa Citj
project iarfbeingvpushed ahead. .The .
Des Moines and Osceola is a rival , BE
it must tike nearly the a&me route as
the former. The officers of the Dei
Moln a and Kansas City say it will
have no effect upon them at all. Theii
road will ba built jregardlesa , of al ]
other projects or subaidiea It in nol
intended forlocal traffic , hence U will
ba on as near-an-air-line as possible.
Time and distance is the object to be
attained. The mouoy is icady tc
build it , and it will bo built. Hot ;
muchfoundation there is for those

CINCINNATI , March 23 1 a. m.
It was announced yesterday to agents
of the Baltimore & Ohio rail tray that
[ lie road was again open for freight
through to New York , all rail , via the
Pennsylvania. The latter road , it
will be remembered , recently became
master of fho situation , by acquiring
the Philadelphia , "Wilmington & Bal
timore , and was in a position to push
the Baltimore & Ohio away altogether
from the eastern seaboard , and com
pelled this road to eoiid their freight
to New York by water. In retalia
tion the Baltimore & Ohio put fast
passenger trains on the Baund Brook
route. According to the new ar
rangements Baltimore & Ohio freight
will go to Jersey city over the Penn
sylvania on the old road. This closes
the largest railroad fight of late years.

BpedjJ Dispatch to Tha Bee.
CHICAGO , March 22 4 p. m , The
aad and dreadful tragedy in Lake-
view last night ia the talk of the
city to-day. Will Seymour , a boy o
eighteen , clerk with the commission :
firm of C. E. Hill & Co. , and son of
Mayo Seymeur , of the bord of trade
baa long been an intimate assoc
iate with the young people of Mr.
Charles Grain's family in Lakeview ,
of whom there were nine boys and
girls. Mr. Craln was secretary of
the well known wholesale boot and
shoe house of Doggett , Bassett &
HilL Mr. and Mra. Grain became
convinced that too great friend
ship waa springing tup .between
young Seymour and their eldest
unmarried daughter Miss Battle , and
they endeavored to keep them from
each othori society , believing that It
was only a school childrens love affair
and that * Seymour was a somewhat
wild and reckless youth ; but he waa
persistent and when they finally for
bade him the hcujo or to speak to
their daughter , he became sullen and
morose and began paying attention tc
a young woman of the town named
Daisy Detseway. He deliberately
planned the murder of Mr , Grain , and
last evening he took Daisy out sleigh'
riding and drove to Lakeview where
ho said a gentleman owed him some
money. On the way ho exhibited tc
her a revolver and dirk knife , sayinf
he waa going west and ox
pec.ed to have use toi
them. Mr. Grain , with a fev
friends were in the sitting room at !
o'clock playing whist. Hia wife ant
children were in the dining room ,
when the door bell rang. Bessie
aged 13 , responded and retnrned anc
told her father that a gentleman wai
at the door and wished to see him.
Mr. Grain went into the parlor fol
lowed by hia wife. Young Seymooi
was standing by the piano and as Mr ,
Grain approached drew a pistol and
pulled the trigger , but the cap
snapped. Mr. Grain threw up his
arm , and turning partially around
demanded , "Put up that weapon. "
Almost immediately Seymour
fired two shots. Mr. Grain was pierc
ed through the abdotiien , and stag
gered back supported by hia wife and
fell in the hallway , expiring wtihont
uttering a word. Seymour turned the
pistol upon himself sending the ball
into his heart , expiring at once.
Daisy , hearing the shots took fright
and drove back to tht city giving the
alarm to the police. The coroner had
the body of Seymour removed to the
town hall and will hold an inqneat to
day. Both the Grain and Seymour
families are stricken with grief. They
are well known and highly esteemed
in the community. Mr. Grain's second
end son , Nathan , ia a member of the
senior class at Dartmouth college.
