Our Bill by Congress Over one thousand settlers have registered themselves in the Washington territory land office of the Compaq iras applicants for lands embraced in the company s rant along the inbuilt portion of the Road Between the head of navigation on the Columbia River to Lake pen d a Lille a distance of some two Hundred Miles. This is believed to be one of the finest wheat growing regions in the world the yield being More than double that of Minnesota and Dakota per acre and Al ready nearly two Hundred thousand acres have Beni thus applied for. Pro Bably nearly every one of these applicants represents a family seeking fora prosperous Home.

St. Pait., july 3___the Steamer Capi ton City caught fire at the Memphis levee a esterday. And the fire spread so rapidly that a Large elevator and several other boats were consumed. Two or three persons lost their lives. The Pas sengers escaped with the greatest difficulty from the Capiton City. The Eastern question questions. . July quest ions of the of the Danube and of the War indemnity were discussed in the Gress to Ciao. It seems that the latter has not been definitely settled and there is some doubt concerning the former at least on the Point of a settlement on the basis of existing regulations namely that the navigation shall be politically a l unimpeded and shall be controlled by a mixed scientific commission. It i said that Austria has proposed that the Neutral Boundary shall be carried much far ther the up Stream than at present and that All fortifications on the Banks of the Danube shall be razed. The discussion on these proposals was postponed. On the indemnity question England France and Italy refused to recognise priority Foi Russia s pecuniary claim. Russia Dis any intention of claiming Prio Rity or of exacting territory instead of Money. End of the it is believed that the Congress will have completed the discussion of the principal questions to be decided by it by the enc of this week. It will Only have next week to formally Sanction the decision of the committee of the second plenipotentiaries presided Over by Prince to Hohenlohe. Which commenced a series of preliminary meetings on Satur Day last. of Servia.

The Servian delegates declare them selves satisfied. Interest bearing debts these receipts could have been applied to the new link. Montana would have been readied above the crossing of the Yellowstone say Miles West of the mis Souri and in Al probability that territory would have aided the company with a subsidy payable in territorial Bonds at the rate per mile to the extent of hoi Miles Westward from the Yellowstone. The completion of the Yellowstone division would have Given the company Tun Miles of productive Road on its Eastern end. And secured at once the Large Traffie which awaits it in Mon Tana.

The sales of government lands which As you know Are intermediate with the lands of the company Are at the present time very Large along the line of the Road and Promise to absorb a population of to 1 people in that Region the pre sent year. You of course understand that these government lands adjacent to the Road Are open to the first Comers As free homesteads absolutely without Money and without Price. In View of the Quality of land thus offered to the landless and the rapid increase in values which is resulting from the Large immigration into that country. 1 pre sume that no equally favourable Opportunity has Ever been offered by any government to its citizens.
