Healso met and conversed with a Lumber of delegations from different Indian tribes, whose reservations were not on the line of the route pursued by the Secretary. He 1s greatly encouraged by the success of the de- Partment in making good farmers of the Ia- olans, and thinks the work of advancing them in ctyilization would be greatly atded it laws were passed authorizing the allotment of land to the Indians tn severalty.

The Sccretary (f ‘Treasury to-day designated ‘Treasurer tomake the disbursemeats Which ere cued to Birch. DEATH OF AN ARMY OFFICER.—The Wat de- partment is informed of the death yesterday morning at Fort Hamilton, New York harbor, or Capt. Erskine Gittings, 3d aruillery. ‘The deceased was a native of Maryland and ap- pointed to the Military Academy July 1st, 1856. RESIGNATION ACCEPTED.—The President has accepted the resignation of 21 Lieut. James H. Lane, 25th Infantry, to take effect December 2ist next, and he 1s granted leave of absence to that date. Tne DEFAULTING ARMY PAayMASTER.—The court martial in the case of Paymaster Nelson will not be convened by orders from here. ‘The matter is within the jurisdiction of General Hancock’s division, and the court will be con- -vened by his order. IMMIGRATION FROM CutNa.—The minister of the United States at Peking informs the Depari- Ment of State that the consul of the Unita States at Hong Kong has reported to hm that dui lpg the quarter endin une 30, 1899. 5.002 emigrants left Hors Kong for the United States, of whicn 7 wre females and 44 boys.

Mr. Upson £ays Texas will certainly return tive demoeratte members of the House, probably a solid di Uon; that while Jones (greenbacker) may b« elected in the 5th district, a good democrat is running againt bim, and the popularity of H cock will probably carry the district. The tf ather districts are securely democratic. ‘The greenba: ker3 offer the only real opposition to the democrats, Mr. Upson says, bat thelr effo-'s tolun an judependent state ticker, oa waita Aa er] greenbackers and dissatistied den- ocrats could unite, bave fatled. WaT THE VinGINIA FuNDERS CLAIM.—Con- Sressman Ellis, of La., who has been stumping fn Virginia, is in the city. He thinks Virginia is safe for the regular democratic electoral Ucket; that Garfield's vote wlil not exceed 60,000 In the state; that the Mahone electoral ticket cannot possibly poll 49,000 votes, and that the regular ticket will undoubtedly recelve between 9,000 and 100,000 votes. He says he found great numbers of readjusters who are for the regular ticket, and changes of votes from the 7th of July, or Mahone to the regular ticket, are of dally occurrence. CIRCULATING THE DoccMENrs.—The demo- cratic congressional committee is now sending out tons of documents daly. Among the more {mportant documents circulated are the speeches of Joseph Pulitzer, ta German, deliv. ered at Indianapolls; the speech of Gen. Ewiog on the army bill, made in the House on April 1th; ex-Senator Turnbull’s speech at Belle- ville, Til ; Senator Bayard’s speech on the dapuiy tuorshals’ bill; Senator Davis’ report on Tressury bankruptcy. There {3 also balag Chiculated a list of the men (vide the circular) Hayes had pald who made him President; tho report Of Senator Wallace on the so-called ew England election trauds; a pamphlet show ing alleged extravagance inthe expenses of the White House; extract from a receat epeech delivered by ex-Gov,. Hendricks at Indla- Lapolis; a of ajleved small steals beloed elong bj fleld; Gen. Butier’s Fanutel Hall y G speech, and copies of Hirper’s Weekiv of March Joth, 1813, which has a cartoon of Nast showing Cclumbia in the attitude of denouncing all th public servants who had anytuing to do with tLe credit mobiller scandal, Wat MR. ACELEN Says.—Congressman Ack- len, cf La., Is in the clty. He asserts that he expects to be elected to the 47th Congress. ‘The fight in his district is a triangularone. He t3 opposed by a repabilcan and a democrat. Mr. Acklen thus explains the situation there. The Olstrict Consists of twelve parishes. By what he Claims was an trregular call, a democratic con- Yeniton was held which nominated a Mr. Bil- hu. The iriends of Mr. Acklen refused to abide by such alleged irregular proceeding, and suc- ceeded in having Mr. Billiu’s name taken off the Ueket and a new convention called. This second convention was called at the request of ten out of the twelve parishes which comorise th2 con- epee district. When the Lime for the meet- Ing came on, some Of the parishes refused to meet. Those that did meet nominated str. Acklen, who says, ‘I recelved 41 votes, and was neminated. ‘To secure the nomination I needed only 38 votes. The parishes which met at the second lar convention, and which placed me in nomination, were the democratic parisie3 Of the district. Those which refused to come to the second convention were the repubitcan Ppatishes, and at whose convention Mr, Bilin Was nominated.” “I shall win the fight,” added Mr, Acklen, “but it Js a hard fight I have on My hands.” At democratic headquarters ye- terday Mr. Acklen said: “I am a democrat aud em for my party first, last aud all the time Rather than run the risk of losiog the dis 1 toa republican Lam wilitug to rettre from fight, {¢ Mr. Billtu (his democratic o0p99- Heut) will do the same, and let us nozninats a Scod democrat who can be elest-d. Mr. Billia’s Trends don’t pretend that he can be elected, bur, they think he can defeat ine. For the saki of party harmony and success, I'm williaz to withdraw, though I know I can be elected.” PERSONAL.—Baron Blanc, the Itallan Minister resident here, arrived in New York trom Earope a Angell has arrived tn ckip.

The return of the fail season (chronologically at least) 1s only apparent through the inilux of visiting styangers. From now on sheepish bridal couples will be seen on the streets and at the several points of attraction in Washing. ton; not only these, but some who generally wait for autumn for their Season of recreation. Just Dow the Smithsontan Tustitution seems to be the epectal attraction for visitors, It Is esti- mated that for the past weak the averaga of visiting strangers has aggregated two hundred dolly. Many are disappointed because THE NEW MUSEUM, which ts to be fillea with many familar contri- butions from the centennial, and the many cu- rlosities Uncle Sam has gathered in the past century, 1s not open to the public. The bullding itself 13 completed save the floor, and the tatro- duction of heating appliances, ‘The appropria- ion having been exhausted, 1t 1s probable the flooring will not b2 lata until next spring, and the bullding will not be formally opened uatii that time. PICTURES OF EMINGNT SCIENTISTS. One of the features of the Smithsontan collec- ton which is now attracting more than passing attention is the grouped photographic collec- Von of the eminent sclentists of the world. Includea herein are also the photographs of the correspondents of the Institution. It is a study to analyze these tac's. They differ asdo the lights and shades of a picture, and yet in each Tace there ts to be found some marked charac- teristic. It would seem for one thing that scientific men as arule are blondes and have Diue eyes. | LIVE SNAKES. Probably the most abhorent department is the cage of snakes. It makes one shudder to look at them as they crawl listlessly around in their imprisoned glass house. with dirty tur- Nes for companions. It 1s only recently we live specimens have been placed on exbtbitton. Heretofore science seemed to be content with SLuacs pickled tn alcohol. IOSITIRS AND CORRFSPONDENCT. pHection of sclentitie and other cariost- tics donated by the centennial exhibitors are stored away, awaltlog the opening of the new museum. This collection ts valuable, embracing does Curlosities from all lands, both natural and artistic, It {sa common error, which many unlearned visitors fall {nto, that the Smithsonian Insittu tion ts only a Curiosity shop, to amuse rather than instruct. This popular fallacy would easily he dissipated were the uninformed tn tnts par- ticular to handle and digest the extended corre- spondence which ts datly recelved trom all quar- ters Of the habitable globe. Political Notes. Representative Ellis, of Loulstana, arrived in Weshington yesterday and leaves to-night for Qhio, where he will take the stump for the democrats. He bas been speaking in Virginia for three weeks, and his opinion is thatthe regular democratic electoral Ucket will carry that state. Hon. A. G. Riddle and Mr. F. Miller will address the republicans of Alexandria on Mon- day evening next. The Richmond correspondent of the New York Times wiites that the republicans have not a ghost of a chance of carrylug Virginia; that they have no organization and no means. of paying the poll tax, which disfranchises 60,000 of their voters. The greenbackers of the first Connecticut Congressional district have nominated Geo. W. Hewitt for Congress, and the repudlicass of the ath Pennsylvania district have nominated Samuel F, Barr. ‘The Vicksburg (Miss.) Herald (dem.) thinks that. rather than allow the re-election of Ack len, of Louisiana, the democrats of bis d!stric: should vote for the republican candidate. According to the estimate of the Little Rock (A1k.) Gazette (dem.) the majority agafast the Tepudiating amendment in thatstate 1s between 6,000 and 10,000 votes. ‘The Indianapolis correspondent of the Pbtla- delphia Times says Taking the cialms of each side cum gra’ ‘, anu looking over the entire field for hi , the uublased observer Inust unavoidably come to the conclusion that the October election iu Indiana wi!l ba very close, but that chances are in favor of the suc- Cees Of the republicans.” Lately Mr. Stilson Hutchins, editor of the Post, published in that ie go 80 ariicie pur- orting to be an authorized denial by Senator ampton of the Staunton Virginian’s report ot the Senator’s much-quoted speech. Ina letter shortly following trom Senator Hampton to the «ditor of the Staunton paper, Mr. Yost, Senator Lampton denied having written to the editor Of the Post, or to the paper. Yesterday Mr. Hutchins received a letter from Senator Hamp- cn, In which he says: “A few days ago a friend % Washington informed me that a private let- ler of mine, in which reference was made to the tm!srepresentation of my remarks tn Staunton, hid been shown to you with a request, by my ccarespondent, that you wouid correct, in your peper, the false impression sought to be mad» vf IY utterances. I was not only unaware of Uncse facts, when I replied to Mr. Yost, but I did not even know that you had written any- thing on this subject. My correspondent’ hav- Ing authorized you to use the substance of my letier, it 1s only an act of justice oa my part to stete this fact, which I do cheerfuliy, express- ing, at Une same time, my regret that your kind effort to set me right hus suojected you to any aLpoyance.” GENERAL Dunont, supervising inspector gen- eral, bas returned to the elty from Albiay, where he has been some time. He has not reccived the report of the Narragansett tnveatl gation, but telegraphed for tt to-day. He also Bays that the Vera Cruz wreck will be tavestt- galcd. In bis opinicn sbe was a first-class ves- , lost on account of the fury of the gate. Le does not think there was any carelessaes3 fu Ler management, GRANT IN DEMAND BY MIN COMPANIES — Gen. U. 8. Grant has arranged to have an fnier- view ox bis arrival in this city with some ger- Uemen interested in the Ortez mine, ta New Mexico, to discuss the proposition which has already been maae to him to accept the presi- dency of that mine. The pleasant experience of the stockholders of the San Pedro and Cauon del Agua company in Boston, in unloading their stock at treble its cost upon the strength of the tencer of the presidency of that company to Gen. Grant, 1s sought by other companies now that Gen. Grant has declined that offer. He ha3 been over the property of the Ortez mine, and 1s only doubtiul about its value on account of the scarcity of water, and if he can be satisiled that water ‘can be got from a neighboring river by an easy method, it ts thought that he might aceept. A proposal has been made to him which would greatly restore his alleged depleted finances. —N. Y. Sun, to-day. ‘THE SHIPOWNERS’ CONVENT! aes board of trade has selected Henry Winso: fares A. Wright, Henry D. Welsh, George Alien and Clayton French to represent tt at t2 shipowners’ convention to be Luld at Boston on Oct. 6th. The delegates are all Interested in shipping. They were instructed to protest egainst apy alterations in the present tarlif or navigation laws. A DREADFUL PoIsoNING TRaGEDY.—The fami of Pleasant Valiey, Pa., constsi- ‘ng ot himself, his wife and one child: also, Mr. sud Mre.
