A new cruiser for the northern lakes is one of the probabilities of the near future. Under onr treaty with Great Britain each government is limited to one war ship on the lakes. The one now in nse by the United States is now thirty years old, and said to be unfit to meet the requirements. It is proposed to spend $300,000 on the construction of a strong, swift vessel with all the modern improvements.

The important document signed by President Garfield, while on his deathbed, about which so much was said at the time, turns out to have been extradition papers for the arrest of a bogus priest, who swindled a number of persons in Missouri and made his escape from the penitentiary in that state. He has about thirty aliases and speaks five languages. He was arrested in Chicago on Sunday.

The jail warden is receiving applications for passes to witness Guite&u's execution in such Bumbers that he can scarcely read them all.

He is confident of anew trial. It will not, however, be before any court on earth.

President Arthur expressed surprise when informed that it is the custom to keep the saloons open on Sunday in Ohio. There is an instance on record in this state where the front door ha? not been locked for seventeen years. At that time the owner loet his key and has had no occasion for it since. That's the way they do in Indiana. The president should come out and make himself acquainted with cur manners and customs.

Conkling has at last condescended to speak, and has declined the proffered judgeship on the supreme bench. There is now a rumor that Judge Folger will be tendered the position and that Conkling will ruoceed him in tbe treasury department We do not believe that the president will make any appointments which would imply that he is not running the administratien. Thus far he has been very successful without any assistance whatever from Mr. Conkling, and the country is very well pleaeed with him

GLUCOSE.

It looks very rnncK. as though the glucose mennUctnrera are going to have tremble on hand before long. Congress fa considering the propriety of compelling each one to hang oat a sign bearing the nature of their bus nesp, and they are very wrathy in consequence. There is widespread prejudice against glucose, and everything which can be done to prevent its manufacture and use is being done

Glacoee is manufactured from starch A mixture of staich and water at a temperature of 130 degrees is made to flow gradually into vat containing water acidulated with one percent, of sulphuric acid, and kept at the boiling point. In about half an hour the starch is converted inio sugar. The liquid is drawn off and the sulphuric acid is neutralized by the gradual addition of chalk, till there is no longer any effervescence. The sulphate of lime is.deposited, and the clear aqueoas solution, after being concentrated by evaporation, is set aside to crystalise. The molasses is drained off, and the sugar is dried at a gentle heat in a current of air. In this country it is used extensively in the manufacture of beer, candy, etc., and in Europe a coarse kind of alcohol is made from it, which in turn is converted into French brandy of choice brands.

It is generally considered that glucose is an article of serious danger to the health of the people, fcesides being a substance mainly or to a great extent used with fraudulent intent. There are, however, many wbo entertain a widely different opinion. They admit the inability of the human stomach to digest stareb, but insist that it can be converted into a new, palatable and nutritious food through chemical agency. France and Germany are cited as countries where it is extensively used, and whose governments would not tolerate its presence were its effects injurious the system. The charge that it contains a large per cent, of sulphuric acid, lime and salts of tin—the latter used as a bleaching agent, and that't is poisonous on account of containing these, is denied by its defenders, who say tbat it contains no free sulphuric acid, and but small amount of it combined with lime, magnesia and iron. The quantity of sulphate of lime, magnesia and iron exist in it in not much larger quantity than in the large number of spring waters in use and the food consumed.

A Cincinnati chemist has recently been giving the matter considerable attention. He claims to have made it & study, has analysed glucose repeatedly and expresses himself freely in regard to it. In closing an article on the subject he says: "Such being the character of glucose, composed of organic matter as with sugar, and a substance that we have partaken of all our lives in Ike fruits we eat, the jellies, pies, and tarts, to say nothing of the starchy food we eat, and is changed to glucose during digestion, it can not be the dangerous substance we are tried to make believe it is. I have analyzed two specimens of glucose from goods on sale in the market here aud find that they both contain Bn exceedingly small part of the substance other than glucose, and these upon analysis I find to be very, harmless substaces such as sulphate of lim?, sulphate of megnesia, oxide of iron, and traces of phosphate of lime. In 10,000 parts of one sample of glucose I find .0032 per cent, of a b, and in the other sample make in same quantity .0018 per cent ash, a quantity too small to have the siighest injurious effect upen anyone. And all of these in articles we partake of daily in our food."

The two gigantic schemes now before congress are the building of anew navy and the Eads ship railway or canal. The report of the house naval committee opens the way for a job by providing that half the shipB shall be built in private yards, but past experience should have sufficient influence to frustrate the scheme. The fact that we have now three unfinished hulks in as many private yards, which have cost millions, and will cost millions more before completed, with grave apprehensions that they will be useless, ought to put members of congress on their guard and cause them to proceed very cautiously in a matter of so grave importance. Capt. Eads has been so notorious for his schemes to m&kc meney out of the government that any scheme proposed by him Bhould be looked upon with suspicion. II his proposed ship railroad is bound to be a success congress should hav» nothing to do with it. Private capital is always on the lookout for good investments and will come so his assistance if it has any faith in him. The government cannot afford to guarantee $50,000,000 of bonds in a scheme which is only an experiment. If Capt. Eads wants to biid a railroad let him do so, and do it without government assistances

On Sunday afternoon the steamer J. D. Parker, was wrecked on the Ohio river at Louisville. She became unmanageable afler leaving the wharf, struck a reef and sunk after floating a short distance. No lives were lost, but the boat is a total wreck, and about 600 tons of freight were lost. She was built at tbe Marine Railway if Cincinnati in 1872 or 1873 for Capt. Jas. S. Wise end others, and was the first boat that had been built expressly for the Cincinnati and Memphis trade for many years. At the time she sunk she was the property of the Memphis & Ohio river packet company, was valued at $15,000, and insured in Cincinnati offices for$10,0C0, She was a stern wheel, 1S7 ieft long, 36 feet beam, 5 ftet depth of hold, with a full length cabin, snd would carry upward of 600 tons. Her cylinders were 16 inches in diameter, 5 feet stroke, and her three boilers about 40 inches in diameter and 28 feet long. She was almost loaded when she left Cincinnati last Saturday evening. The dam at the falls where she

Bunk causes that part of the Ohio river to be particularly dangerous at the present stage of water.

The trial of the Brady crowd of star routers is to be eet for as early a day as possible. All attempts to postpone th* trial beyond May 1st will be oppoeed.

Tbe grand jury of the St Louis criminal court last week submitted to the judge the following report:

The grand jury after completing the wmkassigned to it, baa found that moch of the hood lamism, so called, which disgraces this city is directly chargeable to cheap saloons which a low license system has made possible, and in which vice and poverty go hand ia hand. We therefore recommend that the law be BQ amended that no dram-shop license will be lasucd for Uss than $1,C08 per annum for each saloon tha no more than one saloon be permitted oh any one block, and that the seBlag of in toxica ting liquors to minors shall cause forfeiture of the license.

A PROBABLE

At the Capitol there is a rumor which cannot be traccd to any reliable source, but is much talked oi, that Conkling's declination will be made public to-day or to-morrow, and that soon afterwards Secretary Folger will be nominated for the Supreme Bench and Conkling for the Secretary of tho Treasury.

THE BAN KRUPTCT BXIX'.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 0.—The Senate Judiciary Committee to-day reported the bill to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy and it will be called up for consideration as soon as the pending order is disposed of. It provides that whenever any person without fraud shall become involved in debts and liabilities beyond of means payment amounting to $500 and upwards, he may apply by petition in equity to the United States district court, setting forth the cause of his insolvency and giving a schedule of liabilities and assets, and may surrender his estate for the benefit of creditors, except such as may be exempt, from execution, and if good cause appear the court shall adjudge him bankrupt and appoint a receiver and serve notice to all interested, and distribute the estate according to the rules of equity, and if there was no fraud the petitioner shall be discharged as a bankrupt that when a -person runs away or absents or conceals himself, or makes a fraudulent transfer of property or otherwise attempts to defraud his creditors, the latter may file a petition for bankrupt proceedings against him. Insolvency shall exist only when the debtor's liabilities exceed the value of his property. Poweia to extend the time or stay proceedings are conferred upon the court. Any conveyance, transfer or payments made or received in view of bankruptcy may be set aside if found to be contrary to the just rights of other creditors, but money obtained and used in good faith, though unsuccessfully, to avert an impending bankruptcy or to save a threatened sacrifice of property, or for sickness or other like necessities, may be preferred in payment or in securety by the court. It it appears that any creditor has oppressively sought to fbrcc a debtor into bankruptcy or to obtain any fraudulent advantage over other creditors the court may deny such creditor participation in the estate. The District courts shall be considered as always open for the consideration of bankrupt business and all regular bankrupt business shall have precedence.

CHICAGO, March 6.—Deroban, the spurious priest arrested here, is but 31 years of age. His real name is Adrian Gorder and he is a native of Holland. During his career he has borne twenty-five aliases, was confined in the Missouri penitentiary for obtaining $500 through forgery ana while there he gained the confidence of the officials and was placed in charge of tbe patients in the hospital. Escaping to Canada under his former guise as a a priest

HE ROBBED A WOMAN OF $300. St. Louis officers hearing ef his whereabouts secured extradition papers which were signed by President Garfield upon his death bed. It being discovered afterward that breaking jail was not an extraditable offence Deroban was released the 24th of August. Arriving here last week he took up his abode as prieft at Alexanders Bros'hospital, where one of the brethren becoming suspicious gave information which led to the errest. Dcrohan was educated for his priesthood but was never ordained. He speaks five languages.

THE SEN ATK.

WASHINGTON March 6,1882. Allison presented the memorial of the Iowa Legislature in hehalf of a bridge over the Missouri above Omaha.

Morrill reported adversely the follow ing: To establish a branch mint of tbe U.S. at Omaha to authorize the payment of custom* duties in legal tender notes calendar.

Morrill reported favorably the House bill to repeal discriminating duties en tea and coffee, the products of the Neth erlands calendar also favorably the Hoaee joint resolution in behalf of the American company of revision of the New Testament passed.

Ingalls reported from the Judiciary Committee the original bill to establish a uniform *ystem of bankruptcy throughout the United States, embodying what is commonly known as the "equity svstem," conferring jurisdiction upon District Courts of the United States to hear matters in bankruptcy upon petition.

Vest reported favorably, with amendment, the bill to incorporate inter-oceanic ship rail ways.

Teller reported favorably the House bill to pension Mrs. Garfield, with an amendment including Mrs. Polk and Mrs. Tyler. The amounts specified are $5,000 a year, from September 19,1881.

Sills were introduced as follows: By Vest, to authorize the construction of abridge across the Missouri at the most accessible point at or near Jefferson, Missouri.

By Beck, to establish aa eastern judicial district in Kentucky. By George, to aid in the repair and construction of a levee on the east bank of the Mississippi, in the State of Mississippi.

Also, to revive the grant of lands made to the State of Miesissipi to aid in the construction of a railroad from Brandon to the Gulf of Mexico.

By Davis, of IUinois, for Logan (who was unable to ba present), to provide for the construction of the Illinois and Mississippi canal.

Garland offered a resolution of inquiry addressed to the Military Committee, as to the propriety of increasing to $500,000 the appropriation for the pu^haee and distribution of subsistence stores to aid in the relief of the laboring classes in the district overflowed by the Mississippi and its tributaries. Adopted.

The bill to provide a commission on the alcoholic liquor traffic was read the second time and laid over temporarily.

The Chinese bill was then taken uj, Slater advocated' it. Cameron, of Wisconsin, said that in 1879 he voted against the fifteen passenger bill, but he would vote for the pending bill. When the immense and overflowing population of China is considered, and that the entire cost, of bringing a Chinese laborer from Shanghai to San Francisco does not exceed $12, we must admit that China can, if no restriction be placed upon the immigration of her laborers, pour countless thousands of. them into the ports of California and Oregon. The Six Companies were now hurrying the coolies into Oregon to construct the Northern Pacific railroad.

The day's discussion closed by Dawes being awarded the floor. 'Allison submitted th6 conference report on the immediate deficiency bill. Adopted.

THE HOUSE.

WASHISG^ON, March 6 1882. The Speaker announced unfinished business to be the consideration otV the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill, on tbe passage of which the previous question was ordered cn Saturday.^

Holman moved to recommit the bill, with instructions to the Committee on Appropriations to strike therefrom all provisions in regard to envoys extraordinary and ministers plenipotentiary, ministers resident an* secretaries of legation, and to insert therein provisions for the appointment of such consuls and other commercial agents as' shall be necesnary to promote and encourage the. commerce of the United Stutes and protect the interests of ci1"?. tis of the United States in foreign countries. The" motion was lost—22 i-j 78 and the bill passed. $

Bills were introduced as follows: By Bel ford, a resolution reciticg iBe miseries inflicted upon tbe Jews in Russia, declaring that the people of tbe United States protest against the spirit of persecution revived in Russia, asserting that the Hebrews are loyal citizens and subjects, and requesting the President to submit to his Imperial Majesty, the Czar, the friendly assurances of the people of the United States, and to request him to exercise his power for the sake of humanity to protect his Jewish subjects from the violence of their enemies.

By Kelly, to abolish discriminating duties and to enlarge the fiee list.

Manning, of Mississippi, introduced a joint resolution proposing an amendment to section 2, article 3 of the Constitution, elarging the powers of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Dibble, of Tennessee, moved to au?pend the rules and pass the bill repealiog so much of clause 6, section 3,244, Revised Statutes, relating to the sale of leaf tor bacco, as imposes a fine or penalty on farmers and producers of leaf tobscco who may sell' the same to consumers, and providirg hereafter that all farmers or other producers of leaf tobacco shall be allowed to eell their own or their tenants' production witheot licence or penalty.

The motion was seconded—83 to 66— and a half hotor'a debate entered upon. Dibrell advocated the bill, which he asserted would only reduce the revenue

about $600. At present it coet the Government $ 10,000 to enforce the law and collect that $600.

Keller, of PenSsylvsniC, stated that he WAB anxious to get rid of the system of internal taxation which pat the whole process ot business of particular dasees under a cruel supervision. But this was beginning at the wrong end. It would allow the revenues, so far ss tobacco was concerned, to be frittered away. This question was now before the Committee on Ways and Means, agd receiving grave consideration. It nad been stated that the reveone would only be reduced to tbe extent of $600, but the Commisaioner of Internal Revenue had laughed at the statement, and declared that the effect upon the revenue could not be estimated, inasmuch aa manufacturers' etockr would be greatly depreciated. He [Kelly] would co-operate in all just efforts to relieve the country of Internal Revenue taxation, but to repeal this law now would be to throw the whole tobacco trade opeu and depreciate stocks in the hands of every manufacturer. The Houee should wait until the Committee on Ways and Means had reported on the subject.

Turner, of Kentucky.—The committee will never report a bill of this kind, favorable or unfavorably.

Kelly.—I believe the committee, will, in a fortnight Ibring a bill reducing Internal Revenue taxation by an amount of from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000, .and then it will be'to say what gentleman will aid ua in the good work of emancipating the South.

A running debate here took place between Kelly and several Southern members. At its conclusion the motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill was lost—yeas, 113* nays, 91—not tha neceesary two-tfcirds voting in the affirmative.

The bill passed appropriating $100,000 to continue work on the Davis Ieland dam on the Ohio river.

Springer, of Illinois, moved to suspend tbe rules and pass the joint resolutions proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting special legislation. The House refused—28 to 42—to aecond the motion.

The bill providing. that when the Ute reservation shall be opened Jpr settlement the Government will recognize the rights of persons who, in good faith, have located within the ten'mile limit of the eastern boundary of the reservation,'went over for a month.
