Washington, May 23. J. W. Bryant, representing the steamboat interests on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, addressed tho Inter-State Commerce Commission on Saturday in opposition to the further suspension of the fourth section as respects tlie roads competing with the river linos. He submitted ailidavits in refutation of the testimony of the railroad men that the river lines have no fixed tariffs.

These show that the steamboats as their managers phrase it, have unfortunately for us a tariff rate which is made by our enemies and competitors, Hie anti-rate lines. The affidavits set forth that tho boats are governed absolutely and entirely by the rates and tariffs first set by the Louisville Nashville, Cincinnati, Southern, Ohio Mississippi and Ohio roads and their connections, and that in ail eases the river men take the printed rates of tho roads for Their guide. Tho Commission has received a petition from the Traders and Travelers Union, through Russell P. Hoyt, its general manager, asking that it be made a party to the proceedings brought by the Lehigh Valley road against tlie Reading road in relation to the free transportation of baggage under tho old arrangement between the wads and tho union, in excess of 159 pounds and not exceeding 300 pounds, the roads being relieved from responsibility for loss or damage. The petition sets' forth that tho proceedings were instituted for the purpose of getting an authoritative interpretation of the law, but that tho Reading Company has now re-fusod to carry out tho old arrangement, which refusal, Urn petitioners believe, was made in order to induce the Lehigh Company to withdraw its complaint.

It is to prevent such withdrawal that the Union asks to bo made a party to the proceedings. Levei'ett Leonard, of Mount Leonard, Saline County, a dealer ia improved breeds of cattle, prefers the charge against tho Union Paeiiie that he is charged 38 per cent, above the regular rates when shipping cattle in improved cars provided with apparatus for feeding and watering en route. He asks that tho road be required to refund the excess, to furnish tlie improved cars itself or haul tho stock at regular rates when the shipper furnishes cars. Tho citizens and businoss men of Marshall, protest vigorously against the suspensiop of the long and shortj haul provision. They aver that the Texas Pacific, in consideration of $.300,000 in negotiable securities and $10,000 in real estate, agreed to place its offices and shops in Marshall and to give that town terminal Two Philadelphia Reporterqj Crushed to Death on a Rail-road Track.

The President Approves of the Suggestions Outlined Old Killings Revoked. The Dii01 of ut on Silver an( nount on Hand, Values and 'Estimates. Washington, May the Interior yesterday adu lowing communication to the who subsequently indorsed upon aP" proval, and Mr.

Lamar will immediately take steps to carry into effect the policy indicated Department of the interior, Washington, May 20. Sir: It appears from the records the General Land Ofnce that a large number land grant railroad companies have made indemnity selections to the full extent of their rights under the respective grants, and that a number of others, while they have not selected the full quantity, have selected all the lands within the indemnity limits of Buch grants which are subject to selection. Those which have selected the fuU quantity as shown by the records of this department are the Illinois Central in the State of Illinois, the Mobile Ohio River in the State of Alabama, the Pensacsla Atlantic and the Pensacola Georgia in the State of Florida, the Cedar Rapids Missouri River, the Dubuque Mississippi and the Sioux City St. Paul in the State of Iowa, the Marquette, Houghton Ontonagon, so far as that road has been constructed, and the Wisconsin Farm Mortgage in the State of Wisconsin, the St. Paul Sioux City, the Winona St.

Peter and the St. Paul, Minneapolis Manitoba main line in the State of Minnesota, the Missouri, Kansas Texas in the State of Kansas, the Northern Pacific in Dakota Territory, the Northern Pacific main line in Washington Territory and the Coos Bay wagon road in the State of Oregon. Those which have selected all lands in the Indemnity limits are: The Alabama Chattanooga, the Alabama Florida and the South North Alabama in the State of Alabama; the Mobile Ohio River and the Vicksburg Meridian in the State of Mississippi; the Florida Alabama and the Florida Atlantic and the Gulf Central in the State of Florida; the Vicksburg, Shreveport Texas and the New Orleans Pacific in the State of Louisiana; the Burlington Missouri River, the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific and the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul in the State of Iowa; the Grand Rapids Indiana, the Jackson, Lansing Saginaw, the Flint Pere Marquette and the Chicago Northwestern in the State of Michigan the Chicago Northwestern and Chicago, St. Paul Omaha in the State of Wisconsin; the Minnesota Central, the Southern Minnesota, the Hastings Dakota, the Lake Superior Mississippi, the Brainard branch of the St.

Paul, Minneapolis Manitoba and the St. Vincent extension in the State of Minnesota; the St. Joseph Denver City in the State of Kansas; the Northern Pacific in the State of Minnesota. An accompanying table shows the date of withdrawal and the date of definite location or time when the right of selection accrued for these several roads, These withdrawals, as shown by this table, have been running and continuing in operation for more than two years in the case of the Ainsworth Swan Creek railway, and to nearly thirty-seven years in that of the Mobile Ohio. Under the rulings of this department no settler can acquire any rights under any of the general land laws to any part of the public domain so long as the same remains withdrawn by order ot the President or by his authority.

There seems now to be no valid reason why these orders of withdrawal should not be revoked. Obstructions in the way of bona fide settlement of the public domain should be removed as speedily as possible after the reasons which created them have ceased to exist. Believing that these railroad companies have had ample time to assert any rights they may have in regard to the indemnity to which they may be entitled, and that no unnecessary hardships can now result to them by restoring these lands to the public domain for the benefit of settlers, it is my purpose, if it meets your approval, to take all necessary steps looking to tho accomplishment of this object. I suggest, in order to prevent action being taken which may result in hardships In any ease, that thirty days' notice be given by pub' lication in some leading newspaper in the lo cality of these respective roads, notifying their managers of the purpose of this department, In order that they may show cause, If they can, by a certain day to he fixed in such notice, why the proposition to be submitted should not he cirrried into execution, and steps be taken in reference to the Indemnity lands, and ot the other land grant roads with a view to the restoration of these lands to settlement, allowing a reasonable time to make their selec, tions. As soon os the department Is in possession of such Information as will enable it to act intelligently it will make allowances to said company's indemnity lands in lieu of those lost, Hitherto as a rule the Secretary of the Interior has acted by virtue of his general au tliority, even in those cases in which the statute directs the performance of the duty by the President In terms, the courts having held that in such cases the act would he presumed to have been done under the Presidents direction.

But in view of the Importance of the action herein proposed to be taken in the exercise of authority granted to you, I Bubmit the matter for your consideration. Very rospectfully, L. Q. C. Lamar, Secretary.

Archbishop Corrigan Sustained and Dr. McGlynn Condemned. New York, May 23. Archbishop Corrigan has received the following letter regarding the case of Dr. McGlynn: To Our Venerable Brother Michael Auqushne Corrigan Archbishop of Sew York: Venerable Brother: Health and the apostolic benediction Your letter dated April 2 has reached us, in which you lament the contumacious disobedience of a priest, one of your subjects, not only toward yourself, but also toward the apostolic see; and anxiously seek to bring before the supreme tribunal of our authority the false doctrines concerning the right of property disseminated by him among the people, in private and public assemblies.

We, therefore, moved by these words, expressed to us with just grief of heart and in the conscientious discharge of duty, have accurately considered the whole series of facts from the beginning and have especially seen with commendation your firmness, joined with signal charity. It has been indeed a great relief to us to see the rebellion which has risen against your authority in your city through the deeds of some craftily devised machinations and tho open conspiracy of factious men. And our anguish has been all the greater since from information lately conveyed to us we have heard that there are some others of the clergy imbued with the doctrine of this priest, who have not hesitated to adhere to him, although the clergy generally of the whole diocese and the greater and better part of the city gladly remained with unchanged will in faithful obedience and loyalty to you. It is Indeed grateful to us and approved by us that you have labored to crush, ere they sprang up, the vicious seeds of doctrines scattered under the pretext of helping the masses. Nor is It less to your praise that with long-sufTering and patience you have not ceased w'lth watchful industry to calm proud and restless spirits, although they have not refrained from slanders and reproaches against you and this upostolie see.

It is fitting that you should be of good heart and with unwavering firmness apply all your strength to the work of salvation of souls and in defending the sanctity of faith and discipline. Nevertheless, led by Christian charity you will leave nothing untried that with paternal benevolence you may embrace those who are deceived by this new doctrine if they return to wiser counsels. We, however, will never permit any injury to your good name and dignity, much less to the authority of this apostoho see, and we will not fail to make known to you, through the Congregation of the Propaganda, timely measures for the correction of the rebellion. Meanwhile we earnestly pray the God of consolation that He will oonsolo you, venerable brother, tried by so many cares, and as a pledge of His divine fuvor proof of our special aifection for you, we lovingly bestow upon you, the clergy and the people committed to your care, tlie apostolic benediction.
