The question as to what proceedings shall be instituted against them In the United States district court will be referred to the Attorney General. One section of the Revised Statutes in regard to the invasion of Indian reservations says that the Officers of the Indian department shall eject them, and the use of the military for that pur- pose fs authorized. Another section says that upon the repetition of the offence a fine of one thousand dollars shall be imposed. There are other laws bearing on this subject, and in or. der to construe them authoritatively the ques- tion goes to the Attorney General. The recent invasion of Payne was his second offence, Secretary Schurz’s Western Trip. Secretary Schurz will deliver his speech in In- dianapolis on Tuesday evening next, in re. sponse to the following invitation, which is signed by a large number of the citizens and business men of that city: INPIANAPOLIS, July 7, 1580.—Hon.

The republican congressional convention of the 12th Indiana district, at Auburn, Ind., nom- imated Robert S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne, for Congress yesterday. The statement that Mrs. Hayes has a sweet voice, which she uses in singing the hymns in church, is squarely offset by the later an- nouncement that Mrs. Hancock plays the organ in the little Episcopal chapel on Governor’s Island. ‘The official returns of the Oregon election give George, republican, 1,397 majority for Congress.

WESTERN TRAGEDIES. TURKISH TROUBLES, THE SARATOGA RACES. TANNER, THE STARVATIONIST, FOREIGN AFFAIRS, Turkey’s Fifteen Irelands. Lonxpon, July 17.—A dispatch from Constanti- nople to the Ties says: By the dismissal of Osman Pasha from the ministry of war, one of the chief obstacles to administrative reform and the organization of the gendarmerie has been removed, but it is quite possible that his successor will equally obstruct reform and prove more dangerous as an active agitator in the Albanian difficulties. When the Austrians were advancing on Novi Bazar it was he who organized the popular resistance aud was re- called. There are thus two men tn the cabinet who have had intimate relations with the Alba- nian jeague. The other is Abedden Pasha, the minister of foreign affairs. If this fact be taken in connection with the recent appotint- ment of Albanians to the posts of governors of Volo,Tricala and Larissa, and to that of com- ander of the troops at Prevesa, the conclusion cai hardly be resisted that the Porte does not, intend quietly accepting the decisions of the conference. Abeddin Pasha in a recent conver: sation with Mr. Goschen, the Britt dor, regarding the state of affairs in As said: “You know what difficulties you have had in Ireland, and how long it has taken you to overcome them. In Asta Minor, where eaca province has its distincilve peculiarities, we have fifteen Irelands to deal with.” A British Hint to the Porte. Loxpon, July 17. Daily Teegrapn at informed that, Mr sedor, has called the attention of the Porte to the bad impression created generally by the ap- pointmnent of the new minister of war, Me. Goschen says he considers that the recent hos- Ulities of the Albanians and Montenegrins were the immediate result of this nomination. Naval Demonstration of the Powers in Turkish Waters. A Berlin dispatch to the Morning Post says: if the powers unanimously agree to make u naval demonstration in ‘Turkish waters, Ger- many Will send an iron-clad frigate, and has iu- structed the admiralty to make preparalons accordingly. The Prince Imperial’s Monument Discussed in Parliament. Lonpon, July 17.—In the house of commons Jast night the motion of Mr. Briggs relative to the erection of a statue to the late Prince Impe rial In Westminster Abbey was amended pz omitting the words: “And is calculated to tm- pee the good feeling between England and France,” and, as ameuded, the motiion was car- ried by a vote of 171 to 116. Mr. Gladstone aud others disclaimed court influence, which Mr. Briggs had hinted in moving his resolution. fohn D. Hutchinson (radical), member for Halifax, declared that the Queen's assent to the project had been given reluctantly. Mr. Glad- Stone said that although the prerogative of the crown regarding burial in Westminster Abbey is absolute, there is no disposition in any quar- ter to trespass in any way upon the proviuce of the house in this matter. Ithink, however, the house would do well to avoid interference. When the question on the motion as amended was about to be put, Mr. Gladstone, Sir Wm. Har- court (home secretary) and other members of the government left the house. The Ties in a leading editorial this morning referring to the above incident says: “We trust that the whdle controversy 13 now ended and that last night's verdict will be accepted as final. It was unwise to originate the scneme. and It would be more unwise now to revive it.” French Commerce, Loxpon, July 17.—A Paris dispatch to the Times says: “The return of Imports ahd exporis for the first six months of 1Ss0, as compared With the returns of the corresponding months Of 1579, show an Increase of 171,000,000 francs in the {mports and ot 55,000,000 francs in the ex- ports.” Khe Shooting at Wimbledo: The following will shoot at Wimbledon iy in the match between the Lords and Commous at the 200 and 500 yards ranges: Lords—Earl Ferrers.

[Correspondence of The Evening Star.] THE ALTITUDE AND CLIMATE—THE HOTEL AND ITS GUESTS—HOW THE DAYS ARE SPENT, ETC OAKLAND, July 17. The sign on the ttle brown station of the Baltimore and Ohio ratiroad telis the story very briefly yet quite fully of this summer resort. It Teads: “Altitude 2,700 feet. Oakland Hotel. Washington 206 miles, Cincinnati 353°; miles.” ‘This beight was ascertained a few years ago by the triangulation of the coast survey, and is therefore accurate. It is elght miles west of the Summit, or the top of the Piedmont grade, and but a litle lower than “the backbone” of the Alleghanies, which ts in plain sight from the porticoes of the Oakland Hotel, owned and oper- ated by the Balumore & Ohio railroad company. Six miles east of here is the Deer Par Motel, under the same Management. I have mentioned these facts because a very intelligent gentle- Tan expressed bis surprise recently at the statement that there were any mountains in Maryland except the hills in the vicinity of Cum- berland, and still more so over the fact that this is the highest point of a continuous line of railroad east of the Rocky Mountains. Thais altitude Invariably insures pure air and cool days and cool nights, especially cool nights, and with each year the tide of summer travel hitherward increases. The time on the fast express train from Washing- ton fs a little less than seven hours, leaving the hot cities of Baltimore and Washington at 4 and Sp, m.,and landing passengers here at mid- night, in ume for a good night’s rest. In the brief walk to the hotel from the station, on the arrival of these trains, an overcoat has lately been desirable, The average of the thermome- ter in the day time fs about 70° in the shade, On Wednesday last, when it was toppling over the hundreds down below, it struggled to 33 for an hour or so up here; but at 9 p. m. was down to requiring coveriets and blankets to enable one to pass the night comfortably. The Cakiand Hotel this season is under the immediate and successful management of Capt. Peck Dukehart, for a great many years one of the ‘best knowh and most popular officials of the B. & O, company. Capt. Dukehart’s long executive experience has enabled him to take hold of this part of the hotel department of the company and administer it to the full satisfac- uon of the guests, who, as 1s always the case in summer recorts, have calls Unat are numerous, and, it may be truthfully added, as various at numerous. ‘The hotel itself is in its fourth season, and 1s replete with all modern appointments, perfectly ventilated, supplied with gas, baths and spring waters, and electric bells in every room. There is also an orches- tra. The grounds are tastefully latd out in flowers, walks, lawns and croquet grounds, in which the children and ladies spend most of the day. Several acres of the adjacent slopes have just been mown, and the mowers have as. sisted by many a Maud Mueller, who— “Ona sunimer’s day xg Raked the meadows sweet with hay. ‘The guests of the two hotels exchange many visits by rail or carriage or on foot, the com- pany making no charge for meals or attention io the visitors from either house, which is a most agreeable feature of these resorts. ‘The town of Oakland has a permanent popu- lation of 940 in the census just taken. ‘here are probably several hundred more transient ‘people in the hotels and boarding houses during the summer.

FIVE ARRESTS ALTOURTHER. ‘These two were committed Thursday by Judge Snell, and last evening the o'licers also arrested John Rocco, Emmitt Bush and Harry Hardy, all intimate associates of Frank Burch, and there are others yet to be arrested. The proofs forthcoming ‘are suffictent, the police state, to convict them all.

The girl had been thrown to the ground when she saw them, and she recognizes ali who have been arrested as of the party. The case will again come in the Police Court next Wednesday. Major Brock, finding tbat the condition of the girl required the best of atten- ton, got permission for her entrance into the Columbia hospital, where she will remain for a short time, and Dr. Murphy has been very kind to her. Her condition has improved | somewhat, but the ordeal she has passed through has caused great nervous prostration, and it is thought somewhat Impaired her mind, It ts thought, however, that in a few days she will be sufficiently recovered to give testimony, and afterwards be returned to her friends.

How she got to this city and what her motive was for leaving her home, ts still a mnystery which will, through correspondence, ieared up, it 1s hoped by next Wednesday’ the day of the hearing in the Police Court. One thing Is quite evident to all, that she was a pure abd unsuspecting girl until these flends got her into i heir hands. Great credit is due our police, espectatt Major Brock and the detectives, for the part they have taken tn the work of reciaiming her from her perilous surroundings and ferreting out her assailants. _ PROOFS THICKENING, Three other Important witaesses were secured to-day, and the evidence thie corroborative Of this girl's story found of the fact that Uhese ravishers rubbed her of her money, and how It was divided.
