THE PAYNE INDIAN RESERVATION COLONY.— At Wichita, Kansas, there was a gathering Sat- urday of all parties interested in Payne’s Oklo- homa colony. It was arranged that the colony should move in a body trom Kansas and Texas and Arkansas lines on the 6th of December, the day Congress meets.

Pope to arrest or drive {rom the country every white man who attempts to locate there, and that the orders apply particularly to Paync and his band. REPORT OF THE ACTING COMMISSIONER 01 INDIAN AFFAIRS.—The annual report of Acting Commissioner Marbie, of the Indian bureaa, ts full of encouraging particulars in regard t> ihe wild and balf-ciyilized tribes under tke tuteleg: of the United States. They are making steady advarcement in industry and education. 's Indians, exclusive of those of Alaska, ly 15,000 are now Classed_ ag “wild” Indlan: ‘There still remain come 5,0°0 of the old Five Nations confederacy in New York, and there are 10,000 Chippewas In Michigan. Outside the five civilized t in the Indian territory, who are now selt-supporting and raise large crops and herds, the agency Indians have 7 acres of land In culuvation, of which 27,283 acres were broken up since the last report, and they raise’ a million and a half bushels of grain and vege- tables, besides isha! nearly a million head of sheep and cattle. Mr. Marble says that the Indians ask to have land given to them in severalty with great urgency, and ne recom mends that Congress pass the necessary Jaws to thatend. He also recommends the sup- pression of polygamy, the legalizing of In- dian marriages anda criminal code suitabie to the condition of the tribes. Mr. Marble reports a very encouracing progress in eda- cation among the Indiuns. There were in oneration during the year some 60 boarding ard 110 day schools, accommodating 7, pupiis, while Congress has made no provision lor Iv agencies, which have 50,000 Indians ia charge. The Indians are eager to learn and are learping rapidiy, and every facility su be afforded them tu this direction, as there is no other way of fitting them for the eitizen- ship which must sooner or later be conferred upon them. ‘The report contains a great many interesting detalls of the manner {a which our government Seeks’ to repalr the wrongs which the Iodlans have suffered at the hands of the whites and to make up to them the 1o3s of a continent. CONGRESSMAN HARRY WHITE denies that he is a candidate for the clerkship of the House of Representatives and says: “I have too much re- spect for the constituents who so generously suppor’ed ine for Congress to accept the posi- Non of clerk, although it ts a highly respecuable P cyan 1 do not want an office for the sake of an office. ‘ ‘THE AMERICAN UNION TELEGRAYH COMPANY has organized a press bureau, the Washington branch of which is to be under the charge of Mr. U. H. Painter. SENATOR VOORHES now says that the great democratic mistake was the decision of the U.S. Supreme Count, wiich gave to Indiana an October election, A CANDIDATE FOR THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT, Gov. Pound, member of Congress of Wisconsin, is belug pushed by his friends for the Secre- taryship of the Interior department. He is backed by all the local politica! influeace in his own state, and .as the co-operation of ex-Sen- ator Dorsey. Great stress 13 laid by the Wis- consin men who urge Gov Pound for the eee. upon the fact that the Wisconsin delegation to Chicago were the first to swing into line for Gen. Garfield, and to the aditional claim that the great northwest ought to be represented at the head of the home department of the gov- ernment. THE NATIONAL GRANGE met this moraing, and the committee on transsportation and com. mercial relations, through Mr. W. A. Armstrong, of New York, presented an elaborate report, Which was discussed and adopted. The report treats of the problem of transportation and its relations to agriculture, and the conclusions reached are that cheaper transportation 1s necessary for the agricultural ciasses.

Congress: sere for the service ‘of the current year $11,993,630.40, The estimates for the service of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1852, are $43,627,055.54. The estimates in detail were _ ori submitted to me for $62 429,770.21, but on revision of the same omission: or reductions were made, as follows: In the civil establisbment, $13,585; military establish- ment, $250,000; public works, $18,514,129.67, and in thé miscellaneous class, $25,000, mi the total of revisory reductions $15,302,714. ome increase in the amounts of estimates for the Year 1882, over the amounts appropriated for the year 1881 appears in the civil establishment, the military establishment and the miscella- neous items. FOR PUBLIC WORKS I have reduced the estimates to accord with what 1 understand to be the amount required for absolute necessities of the service, In order to prevent waste of property and damage to commercial interests. Beyond such necessities it is submitted the wisdom of Congress may Perceive that, as valuaole improvements sur- round the ity of the government, and as the commerce of the country advances in growth and prosperity, so should the appropriations to cover the expenses de apportioned. The Secre- tary dwells upon the success of the Eads jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi river as proof that the further improvement of that river should 9e persisted in, thus opening an outlet to the commerce and productions of our richest sections. Estimates are already before Congress forsome of these improvements, to be made at @ COSt Of about $5,000,000, THE REGULAR ARMY AND THE MILITIA. Secretary Ramsey concurs in the recommen- dation of Gen, Sherman that Congress be asked to give 25,000 enlisted men specifically to the troops of the line of the army, and adds: “The Strength of *he army ts limited by statute to not more ‘than 30,000 enlisted men, but provisions contained in appropriation bills have limited expenditures to the enlistment of but 25,009, Secretary Ramsey indorses the recommenda- tions of the Adjutant General relative to plac ing the uniformed state militia upon the same footing in respect to {ts rules and forms as ihe regular forces, and calls attention to the neces- Sily Of providing by legislation for the organl- zauion, arming and disciplining of the militia, OUR SEA COAST DEFENCES, The Secretary continues :—“ From a personal inspection of many of the fortifications referred to by the chief of engineers, Iam able to em- phasize his recommendations, and beg to state that their incomplete and defenceless condl- lion is discreditable tothe country. Judging from the history of all other nations and the experience of olr own, the United States wi notwithstanding our traditional pacific poll find itself sooner or later at war with a mari- tme power, When that war comesit will come suddenly. There will be no time after its de- Claration to construct defenses, either fixed or floating. Other nations have been for some years and are now constructing fast war steam- €rs of enormous size, encased In fron armors tp to two feet in thickness, and armed with rified guns welghing up to one hundred tons, carry- ing shot of a ton’s weight, fired with little short of aquarter of aton of powder. It is feared that the country does not appreciate the fact that after the declaration of war a few days, or even hours, might bring these great engines of destruction to our coasts—it may be to New York, or Boston, or Portland, or saltimore, or New Orleans, or San Francisco, or to any point the enemy may select. No one can estimate ‘the damage which may follow.” IN RELATION TO THE WHITTAKER CASE hesays: “I have refrained from commentin: upon the unfortunate agitation which tlowed from an alleged assault upon a colored cadet at the academy in April last, for the reason that in some of its legal aspects the subject is still under consideration.” ‘The Secretary makes a brief reference to the proposed bronze statue of Gen. Daniel Morgan, which he states will un- doubtedly be completed within tne time con- templated by the act of Congress, anda further reference to the proposed monument to be erected at Yorktown, Va..in commemoration of the surrender of Earl Cornwallis, no report yet having been received from the commission. ers appotuted to recommend a design. The Secretary approves quite generally the important recommendations of ‘the various oflicers of the army and department, already published. A Singer Arrested Forged for Passing a checks Samuel G. Young, a member of the choir of the Presbyterian church at 5i(h street and Madison avenue, was a prisoner In the Yorkville police court to-day, to ‘answer the charge having passed a forged check for $50 upon Fi llandrich, a restaurant keeper, at No. 3d avenue. The check was signed with the name of E. Giibert, who ts the pastor of the church in Which Young is employed.

Commercia?, Nov, 20h, t A DECISION was rendered by the Supreme Court to-day in the case of the Ivanhoe Mining Company, plaintiff in error, against the Key- Stone Consolidated Mining Company, tnvolving the title to a tract of mfneral lands known a3 the eastern half of section thirty-six in Amador county, Cal., which 1s in possession of the Key- stone company under a patent of the United States, and which is clalmed by the Ivanhoe company undera grant to the state of Cal- fornia for school purposes. This court holds that the ttle to the lands in controversy did not pass to the state of California by the school grant act of 1555. ‘The judgment of the circuit court of the United States for the district of California 1s therefore ailirmed. This decision settles the title vo other large and valuable tracts of mineral jands in Cailfornia which Me within the llmitot the grant to the state for school purposes, but which are claimed under the laws of the United States by earlier pre emptors and settlers. Judge Field took no part in the decision.

One applicant has avatled her self of this permission. Twenty blind children belonging to the District of Columbia have been under instruction the past year in the Mary- land Institution for the Blind at Baltimore, as beneficiaries of the United States. Poxcas COMING TO WaSHINGTON.—Tne Secre- tary of the Interior to-day ordered to Washington White Eagle, chief of the Poncas, and a small Gelegation of the head men of that tribe, at their own request. Their object in coming here is to relinquish, finally, their old reserva- ton in Dakota. In their petition asking this the Indians state that the continual agitation of the project for their return to their former home in Daketa causes a feeling of uacertatnty in their minds as to the stability of anything they may do where they now are, and hinders the settlement and progress of the tribe. SECRETARY Evarts returned to Washington from New York this morning.

NEw YoRK, Nov. 22.—There has been consid- erable excitement in railroad circles here for some day over the report that the Vanderbilt interest had perfected a west and southwest combination to oppose the Gould system of roads. The roads named are the New York Central, Lake Shore, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and Atlantic & Pacific.

EW YORK PRK | SS VIEWS, whe World’s Fair Must Not Central Park—A Big Hoax —Ph. Hogus Confession of Forgery. [Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.) New Yorx, Nov. 22.—The Herald urges in view of the approaching action of the legisla ture in selecting a successor to Senator Kernan, that one of the New York Senators should in variably be taken from New York city. The Sun says if the success of the world’s fair depends, as its managers say, on the adoption of the Central Park as its site, then New York doesn’t want the fair. The game is not worth the candle, The 7rvt/ has a hoax in the shape of what by the head lines ts a fall confession by Philp of the forgery of the Morey letter, but which proves on reading to be a mere burlesque. The World, in response to the call by democratic journals outside of New York for a fresh organization of the New York democ- racy, says that political organization ts a bus!- hess which must be learned like all other bus!- ness, and that it would compromise the future of any reorganization to begin by throwing overboard everybody who s had any experience in "political ~—_ organization. The Times publishes a statement showing that the alleged bargain between Garfield and the Grant party at Mentor is amyth. ‘The 7// dune has a statement alleging in regard to H. H. Uadley’s connection with the Morey forgery. that William H. Barnum employed him to go to Maryiand and Lynn to procure perjured tes timony in support of the plot, and that he brought the witness Lindsay or O'Brien to tals elty.
