H. Crane? of the army, died very suddenly at 6 o'clock this morning, from hemorrhage of the throat, at his residence, No. 1909 F street. Gen. Crane had been aMicted with throat trouble for several weeks past, but no Sericus results were feared. He was not, however, prevented from performing his official duties until ten days ago, when he was compelled to remain at home. During his sickness he was attended by Surgeons Nortis and Huntington and Assistant Surgeon O'Reilly, of the army. Last evening his condition was considered somewhat Improved. Early this morning he was suddenly at- tacked by a hemorrhage of the throat, which proved fatal, Dr. O'Reilly was the onl, physician present at the time of his death. Hi wiie was also present. His son, however, bis only. ehild, was not in the eity,but as been telégraphea or. Funeral services will be held at his late resi- dence to-morrow afternoon, at 6 o'clock, after which the remains will be taken to Shelter Island, N.Y., for interment. An official order will at once be issued by the War department announcing Gen. Crane’s death, The deceased was a large man, with flowing iron grey beard. and was fifty-elght yeavs old. He was born in Rhode Island, and was appointed from Massachusetts as assistant surgeon in the army February 14th, 1848. He was promoted to be captain and assistant surgeon February 14th, 1858, and to be major and surgeon May 2ist, 1861. He was made brevet leutenant colonel” and brevet colonel January ist, 1665. March 13th of the same year he’ was made brevet brigadier general for faithful and meritorious service during the war. July 28th, 1866, he Was _promoted to be colonel and assistant surgeon general. He was appointed to be surgeon eneral July 3d, 1882, succeeding Surgeon General arnes, Gen. Crane’ was very prominent among the medical oMcers at the death bed of President Liscoln. In the well-known picture of the death b:4 of the President he occupies a prominent post- ton, feeling the pulse of the dying President. Itis the general impression that Gen. Baxter, who 13 next in rank, will be appointed to succeed Gen. Crane as surgeon general. ‘The office, how- ever, 1s filled by selection, and there will bea strong fight made. Surgeon Murray will be Gen. Baxter's most fornitdable competitor. eee The Chiriqui Lmprovement Company. PETITION FOR A MANDAMUS ON THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. In the Court in General Term to-day Mr. W. W. Warden, for the Chiriqui improvement company, filed an application for a mandamus on the Secre- tary of the Navy to compel him to examine the title and pay certain moneys under the act of March 3, 1881. The petition states that the act ap- Propriated $200,000 to enabie the Secretary of the Navy to establish, at the Isthmus of Panama, naval stations, &., and recites that President Hayes recommended the appropriation of $200,000 for a like purpose,and an appropriation was made; that Secretary Hunt declined to treat forthe Chiri- qui property; that Secretary Chandler has decided not to revise the determination of Secretary Hunt; not to expend the appropriation, but to submit the whole subject to Congress at tts session in De- cember.” Mr. Warden asserts, though Secretary Hunt recognized him as the sole attorney for the owners of the Chiriqui property, nevertheless he Ustened to noted vlackmallers, voluntary inter- Meddlers, &€., who sought to prevent the payment of the money appropriated to the owners; that the House of Representatives called for all reports, maps, &., on the subject, but Secretary Hunt withheld some; that Mr. Hunt took the opinion of ‘naval officers in _prefer- ence to the opinions of law ‘officers, &. that Secretary Chandler, while accepting the ar- gument that the act Intended to apply to the money to be expended, and that the acts of his Predecessor are not binding upon him, neverthe- less now declines to take the other steps required by law to make perfect the possession of the United States. He contends that it would amount to pos- itive Injustite to again refer the matter; that Con- gress has no jurisdiction, the. parties having ac- quired vested rights which Congress cannot, con- stituttonally, deprive them of. ‘The court took the question of issuing the rule under advisement, es Washington Stock Exchange.

SSS Reported Indian Troubles, COMMISSIONER PRICE KNOWS NOTHING OF IT. A Stan reporter asked Commisstoner Price, of the Indian bureau, as to the extent of the “serious trouble” reported in a press dispatch to exist be- tween the Indians near the Dakota line and Tanchemen, This dispatch stated that 600 Indians are out hunting and have refused to return to their reservation and that troops had been sent to force them back. Also, that Indians had recently fired fhe prairies, and white hunters had sworn to be avenged upon them. The commissioner sald he had not been advised of any such troubles, and that while there might be some foundation for the dispatch, he did not believe it If the state of affairs reported really existed, he was sure the Indian bureau would have been’apprised of it, ‘A telegram from Col. Wilkin, commanding at Fort Keogh, Mont., states that Gov. Crosby has telegraphed ‘from Helena that N.S. Black, a prom|- nent citizen of Glendive, fears trouble between tho Catfish band of Sioux and the stock men, as 600 Indians are reported to be marching toward the Little Missourl. Gov. Crosby asked that the mill- tary afford such protection as the situation may demand, and that the authorities at Fort Buford be communicated with for particulars. If reply to Col Wilkins’ request for instructions, Gen. ‘Terry notified him that, in the absence of definite information, no action would be taken, but di- rected that ‘the matter be immediately ‘investi- gated, with a view to prompt action. ——— a ‘The Work on the Potomac Flats.

Tr MAY BE COLLECTAD AS OTHER TAXES ARB A clerk in the War department, in a note to Dis- trict Collector Cook, writes as follows: “Will you Please inform me whether any fine or penalty is Prescribed by the law of the District for keeping 8 dog for which a tag has not been purchased? Is not the only penalty in such case that the animal may be taken by the poundmaster and killed it found at large, provided, of course, the animal be not redeemed from the poundmaster by payment of the usual price? An early reply would greatly oblige,” &. MF, Cook, in reply, quotes the law as follows, act of June 19, 1878: “Be -it enacted, &c., That there shall be levied a tax of two dollars each on all dogs owned or kept in the District of Columbia; sald tax to be col- lected as other taxes in said’ District are or may be collected.” He says: “The power to collect 1s with the collector or his deputized agents, which he may do by distraint or otherwise, ‘as he does in collection of personal taxes’ The enforce- Ment of tax 1s no concern of the poundmaster, who 1s operating from another premises alto- gether, unless he might find it conventent to act for the collector under his warrant.” Collector Cook gays in making distraint for dog taxes he or his deputics make seizures of personal goods and chattels, and are not confined to the seizure of the dogs, as many suppose, but seize as in the case of any personal tax. ____»___ The Powell-Boston Scandal.

At this writing sufficient returns have not been received here to definitely declare who 1s elected governor of Ohio. The largest vote ever polled in the state has been cast, and in some precincts the counting has not yet closed. The News-Journal (democratic) comes out this morning with the triumphant rooster and flaming head lines exult- ing over the election of Hoadly. The Enquirer, also democratic, mildly claims the election of Hoadly and intimates the probability of the elec- Uon of the Hamilton county ticket, known as the McLean ticket, and a democratic legislature. The Commerciat-Gazette, the republican organ, says editorially in an extra this morning: “The im- pression prevails that Hoadiy is electea governor yy from five to eight thousand majority. Full re- turns may change the figures and give us a differ- ent result, but the outlook is not favorable. We are inclined at this writing to believe that Hoadly has a small majority. The legislature 1s in douvt 4nd is claimed by both sides.” At 12 o'clock to- day the democrats claim the election of the demo- cratic state ticket. Hamilton county Is still in doubt, the extensive scratching on all the tick- ets, as stated in yesterday's dispatches, rendering the situation uncertain. Itmay be necessary to await the official returns. Returns from 70 out of the 108 precincts in Hamilton county this morning give Hoadly a majority of 1703. The republicans Suffered heavy losses in the wool crowing and wine districts of the state, The prohibition amendment received a large vote, but not suffi- clent tocarry.

Lee Donaldson, of the republican committee, does not give up the state, but the country towns not heard from must show decided changes to reverse the situation as it now appears. The democratic com- mittee estimate about 5,000 majority for Hoadly. The probibition Mquor amendment is badly de feated, [By Bssociated Press.) Probable Election of Hoadly — The Legislature Close. CINCINNATI, Oct. 10, 11 a. m.—The Commercial Gazette in its last edition this morning says the impression prevails that Hoadly 1s elected by from 5,000 to 8,000 majority.

The iegisiature is In doubt, but it is claimed by both sides. ‘The second amendment vote was large, but it was probably defeated by the Cincinnati vote. HAMILTON COUNTY. The counting of the returns is In confusion in this county owing to the very tate work. The morning newspapers have barely a suggestion of the detatied vote. Everybody Is worn out and the progress to-day is slow. ‘The Dest estimate on familton county from the additional returns re- ceived this morning give Hoadly a majority of from 1,500 to 2,500, with the legislative and county ticket elther divided or the democrats de- feated. This 1s based on returns from 73 out of 108 precincts, and may be modified elther way by Subsequent returns, THE SECOND AMENDMENT DEFEATED. As near as can be estimated, the majority against the second amendment will exceed 40,000. The Tines-Star special says: Madison county Ives 200 majority for Foraker. Locke, republican, for representative, is defeated. Mahoning county shows a gain of 235 for the republicans. 7 The Result in Cleveland a Surprise.
