Tho house commerce Committee Created quite a stir to day by reporting favorably the White resolution to inveetlgate the Chicago, Burlington A Quinoy strike. The wording of the resolution Indicates that the Investigation proposed by It wUlJbej thorough' and far The" indications are that It will pus the hongs wlrt llttlo opposition. Of course ttuoh will depend on the per sonnel of the oommlttee, of which nothing definite can be' learned prior to action by the house.

The resolution providing lor en Ins veatlgation of the Chloago. Burlington A Quinoy railroad Strike by a speolal eommtttce of declares that the loeomotlve now 'employed are Inoompetent, and that the olalm of tne resumption oi puuno amies oy tne Burlington' Is fraudulent, and a gross Imposition, upon the public, plaoiog In imminent peril both life and property. The committee Is directed to go to the scene of the strike and call for wit nesses and papers, and Investigate and asoertaln what Is necessary of the leg islature to protoot inter state commence. SXJUTI. Among the petitions and memorials fwssnted and referred were the fol o'wlng: To send United States troops to Chicago to protoot the lives and property of citizens against the Socialists of Illinois and Iowa; to preserve the mineral lands of Montana for oitl eens of the United States, Mr.

Mltohell. from the. oommlttee on railroads, reported the bill appro prlaung sjouu.uuu for a Doat railway around the obstructions to navigation In the Columbia river at the Dalles and Colla Falls. Calendar, Mr. Stewart withdrew his motion (heretofore made) to reconsider the vote passing the out tor the reuei or purohasers and other grantees of swamp and oret flowed lands, and to reimburse and Indemnify certain states.

The bill, therefore, goes to the house. The resolution heretofore ottered by Mr. RIddlehnrirar to ananend so much of tM rules as provide for exeontlve sessions during the consideration of me nsneries treaty was unn up. Mr. Biddleberger Bald he had given notion yeaterday that he would oall up the resolution in order that those who were opposed to it might atgent themselves and draw upon tho courage which they laoked to vote for It.

Itis proposition had been beaten from time to time (and had been for live years) by Just same kind of parliamentary prsotlce that had been tried to day (interposing other morning business.) He oalled for the yeas and nays on agreeing to the resolution. Mr. Edmunds said that as the question was on the resolution, ho desired to submit some observations to the senate which he did not oare to submit to her majesty's ministers lust at present. Ie therefore moved that the galleries be cleared and the doors olosed. The motion was agreed to.

and. the order, at o'olook; was executed. Mr.Beok offered an amendment as an additional section to the bond bill providing that whenever the circulation, or any portion thereof, of any bank not In liquidation shall be surrendered and shall not be taken nn by. other nUonal the secretary of the treasury shall purchase' at market price an equivalent amount of silver bullion In excess of the minimum monthly silver shall be oolned and 'used pro. vlded'for In the silver coinage bll the' ath "of February, 1878.

Mr. Stewart proposed an addition to the amendment and Mr. Baok accepted, it, providing that nothing in the aet shall alter or repeal the sUvor oolaege aoUof 1887 Sherman ap provea inuy or tne'suoatitute as agreed to, and thought it an Improvement on the house bill, bat he thought It better to postpone, tne eons aeration or air. Beok1s proposition till a more oenvenl ent season. The proposition involved qustlons of serious diffloalty.

One of these questions was whether it was wise to continue the oonin.agQal silver when purchased, lie was clearly of the opinion that It was not wise. There was now. In the treasury and sub treasury over 800,000,000 silver dollars and onlv between fifty and sixty millions In tne proposition oi tne senator rrom iven lucky were stripped of that feature line coinan or suveri ana lr anniiea Ony tQthe purchase of deposits of silver otjuion wotua no reuevea or theobjsetlon; wbloh he (8herman)had to It He was as muoh in favor of bl metallto ourrenoy as any man In the (Jolted States. lie believed both silver and gold were necessary to carry on the financial affairs of the country, but gold was the only representative of valnsj la operations with foreign countries. Mr.

Book said he did not cafe to Ei a'new Into the question suggested by r. Sherman as confining his amendment to the purchase of silver lie (Beck) did pot prspotjs to make any difference between the two opined metahh Ills amendment merely provided against the contraction of outrenoy. Mr. All iaoh suggested some verbal changes In Mr. Book a' amendment, WbioU the latter accepted, so as to make It read, "that whenever the circulation or any part thereof of any National bank, not in liquidation, shall be surrendered by deposit of TJalted States notes a the.

Farmers seem anxious to get Into the fields and Impatient to make up the losses of laat year by pat. ting forth extra 'exertions for the coming season. The department of agilonlturs nub lishes the result of an inquiry Into the consumption of corn la years of short orops, such as lest year. It says that last jear crop a theevenlh of a series, running from medium to low yields, whioh. were proceeded by six successive crops of from twentylx to twenty nine bushels per aere.

The investigation shows there Is no fixed requirement of corn for annual consumption. The redaction of product did not change very much the percentage of tho crop In farmers hands On the 1st of March. Shipments were loss and consumption less. The Increase of price whioh follows a reduc tion of product limits the use of corn on the farm and elsewhere, cheaper grain produot or ooarse forage taking I place. ine president has wrltton a long loiter In replr to the resolution adopted at the session of the Philadelphia annual conference of the Methodist Kplsoopal church held In Philadelphia In March last, protesting against tho aotlon of the government In the use oi tne nan ve languages ana toe Dakota Bible in educating the In dians.
