Icier-State Commerce Legislation and tbe Senate Swainr's Prolonged Trial JJanfernpt Lair Talks. Randall's Appropriation Extension Policy About Piayed Out Notes of Ooncral Interest. INTKK STATE COMMENCE DILL. Its Passage by the llouse, It Is Thought, Will Insure Its 1'assage by the Scn ate Kncoaraeemtut for th Foatal Telegraph Hill, Special to the Ben tin el. Wasni5GTos, Jan. 0. A great deal of comment has been made to-day upon tue passage of the Interstate Commerce bill by the House. It is conceded now that the bill will pasa the Senate. For a while it was thought none but a measure creating a railroad commission, with a view tD collecting Information for future laws on tbe subject, could be gotten through the higher branch or Congress, bat since the Houf e aefused by such a decided vote to pasa a bill of that character, the Senate must finally accept something of the kind already adopted by its inferior body of legislators. The subject is one of vast importance, because it is almost limitless in its bound3. It may extend to other interests. S lippers say the Ileagan bill will help them very materially and will not injure the value of railroad property. They contend that it will maze the profits acarninc - a from the purchase and sale of stock-, grain, etc.. more equal, will stimulate trade, and give the remote portions of the country an impetus. This sqowb whit a little confidence will do. Experts, who have studied the subject, eay about all tbe Reagan bill as it will become a law, will do, is tj inspire con fid an ce. üen who are interested iu the p&ssag3 or defeat of the Postal Telegraph bills expres3 the belief that the action of the Hons? and promised action of the Senate on the InterState Commerce bill, insures the pas3ae. 6cme time, of a Postal Telpra'ph bill. Kttxlnll IleginulDa; to Realize That IIa Extensive Appropriations Are Not Bel-1.1-e.l. Special to tbe Sentinel. Washikoton, Jan. 0. Next week Mr. Randall proposes to begin feeding in his appropriation bills with rapidity. While several Lavo been patted, and it would appear that but a week's time ought to be consumed ia clearing away the remaining ones, ho realizes that his policy of making extensions of old bills and refusicj? new legislation is yery objectionable, and may provoke tbe Senate at any time to take a stand that will either necessitate an extra session of Congress or the closing of some branch of the Government service for a time. To delay tco long is to take too many chances. The Naval bill being practically out of the waf, only the Fortifications bill promises any considerable contention. Speculation KejgArriioc th l'roloc'l Court Martial of General Swaliu. Special to the dentine!. Washixgto, Jan, 0 It loeks now as though a verdict would not be rendered in theSwaira court-martial trial until sometime in February. Tbe ca?e has for some reason, been proions-ed. The defense fay the prosecution would like to have the matter determined under Mr. Cleveland, and a new cabinet, while the prosecution charges the defense with prolonging the case tj give the accused as much benefit of his salary as possible. It may be that the case will not be fially passed upon by this administrate i The trial is just such an one as Circuit Courl3 in small places dispose of in from two to four days, and the United States Courts determine in from one to two days. Tublic opinion here ia about equally divided as to the verdict. Want of a Itackrnpt Law Canstug the J Hard Tim. Special to tbe Sentinel. Washington, Jan. 9. Commercial organizations in different parts of tbe country evince a good deal of disappointed nt at the failure cf Mr. Collins to get nj the Bankruptcy bill in the House. It is stated that there are 20,003 men ready to accept the terms of a bankrupt law who can not make settlements under present provisions, and that in consequence wholesale merchants, manufacturers, shipper, bankers, etc., have untold millions tied up, and there are Laid times. Chicago and New York people are making the greatest clamor for a bankrupt" law.

Levi Lockhart, of Pikesville, Ind., has bf cn disbarred from practice as an attorney before tbe Interior Department. A dele?a ion of Kiowa and Commanche Indiana, from Indian Territory, called upon the Commissioner of Indian AiTtirs t1ay to i rötest against the lease of their lands to cattlemen.

Colonel Lame Lt. Mr. Cleveland's Private Secretary, eaid this morning: "Mr. Cleveland has not yet fixed the day when he will come to "Washington, but I am pretty sure be will not arrive until within a veryfe days of the inauguration. I know he felt es if a great load had been lifted from his shoulders when his resignation as G aver nor tco effect, for joa know the last week of Lis administration was an unusually onerous one. He now has time to attend to the future." General Sherman, in answer ti a question as to the effect of General Grant's declination to receive the fund being raised f jr his benefit, said: "Of course that will puta stop to the whole thing, and nothing now will be done r bout it. I presume, though, that the legfd defense which was secured for him will teieturned. General Grant has friends who will lookout for his interests, outside of those who were interesting themselves in hi3 Lefcalfin this particular intUtce." In the Swaira Court-martial the Court ruled out the testimony of Witness Daakers on account ot his want of belief in the existence of a Supreme Being.
