There is trouble brewing in the Treasury de- partment over the recent order of Acting Sec- retary Batcheller, made at the request of the Postmaster General, suspending all payments of telegraph bills pending the settlement of the rate question. Since the order was issued there have been numerous cases where many officials employed principally in the internal revenue and customs service were obliged to make use of the telegraph service and have been com- pelled to pay in advance full commercial rates, the Western Union people holding that they were bound by no contract after July 1. Thus it is that there are many small bills for reim- bursement of expenses of telegraphing before the first controller for audit and he is now en- gaged in a consideration of the question whether there is some appropriation that can be drawn on to meet these expenses while the Post Office department and the telegraph com- pany are settling the pending controversy, The Alien Labor Law on the Border. Acting Secretary Batcheller has received re- ports from the special immigrant inspectors posted along the Canadian border to insure the enforcement of the alien contract labor law showing that there have been numerous minor violations of the law, but that the people, when its provjsions are explained to them, show a willingfess to comply with them. It is thought that there will be some difficulty of enforcing the law with the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk railroads on account of their custom of bringing Canadian laborers over the border for the purpose of re it the roads. One inspector Recemuehdineneael legislation that will permit the introduction of these persons for temporary labor. Protecting Oklahoma Homesteaders. Acting Land Commissioner Stone has re- ceived information that homestead settlers in Oklahoma who have made entries of tracks are subjected to annoyance and expense by parties setting up — claims to the land, un- dertaking to lay out pretended towns thereon, | hp eeced interests in town lots to the pub- lic and endeavoring by various indirect means to compel the settlers to give up their rights to the = covered b thar sation, TH com- missioner instructs is egy witness of the survivors of the bark — wrecked at Point Hope, October 8, 1888, one of the Qhio Second, at Napwak ot ee eee es of the thirty-three on the Ohio were saved, none of the crew of the other vessel were lost.

How the Indians Gained Their Point and How Intruders will be Kept Off. The Secretary of the Interior has requested the War department to take such steps as may be deemed necessary to keep intruders off of the Sioux reservation. This action was taken in anticipation of a rush of settlers now that the Sioux commission have induced the Indians to consent to sell their lands to the government. Secretary Noble has received no further infor- mation from the members of the Sioux com- mission then was given in the telegram which he received yesterday and which was printed in yesterday's Stan, One reason given by Interior department officials to account for the success of the commission is that the law under which they were authorized to negotiate with the In- dians practically conceded terms demanded by the Indians. The commission which visited the Indians last summer were empowered by the law of April 80, 1888, to offer only fifty cents per acre for all lands taken up 4 set- tlers. The Indians thought that they ought to get $1.25 per acre, the same price which the government was getting for itsland. Thecom- mission were unable to secure the assent of the Indians and in October a delegation came to this city and had sev conferences with Secretary Vilas, RENEWING THEIR DEMANDS, They then renewed their demand for $1.25 per acre, and after talking the matter over Sec- retary Vilas told them that he had been author- ized by the President to say that he would rec- ommend to Congress to change the act so that all the landtaken by homesteaders during the first three years after the reservation was opened ll be paid for at the rato of $1 per acre; at all the land taken in the next two years after that shall be 75 cents per acre, and for all lands entered after five years from’ the date the act shall take effect shall be 50 cents per acre, Congress was to provide for the disposition of the land re- maining, provided that not less than 50 centa an acre on that account be placed to the credit of the fund. Instead of one million Kooy ees aside asa fund the Secretary said that Cor gress would be asked to set aside two million dollars for the benefit of the Indians, ‘WHAT THE LAW PROVIDED, ‘The Indians, while thanking the Secretary for the proposed changes, adhered to their de- cision that they must have $1.25 for their land. The act which became a law in March last and the provisions of which formed the basis of the present agreement, while embodying the sug- estion of Secretary Vilas made them more fiberal sua practically conceded the main claim of the Indians. It provided that $1.25 be paid for all land taken up by the settlers within the first three years, 75 cents per acre during the next two years, and 50 cents per acre for the residue of the landa then undisposed of. It provided further that the money thus received should be applied first to the reimbursement of the United States for all necessary and actual expenditure contemplated and provided under the act and the creation of a permanent fund of $3,000,000, and after such reimbursement the residue to be added to the said permanent fund. In another act the sum of $25,000 was appropriated for the expenses of the com- mission, ‘The Indians, however, had demanded that €1.25 per acre paid for all the land be placed to their credit in the United States Treasury clear of all expense, and the work of the present commission mainly consisted in inducing them to recede from this position and accept the compromise, THE PRESIDENTIAL AIDE. Army Officers Selected to Accompany the President. There is some little wonder in the minds of army folks just now caused by the apparent establishment of a new presidential custom with regard to their pecple and many an eye that has heretofore been languidly closed un- der the dullness of the routine service life is now Wide open and sparkling in anticipation of a possible event. This new custom, or rather the indication that points to the establishment of such, is the designation of an offi- cer of the army, whenever the Presi- dent goes anywhere, as his special aide. When he went to New York to attend the cen- tennial celebration Lieut. Judson of the en- gineer cor & personal friend of the Harri- sons, was designated in this capacity, and now, in Boston, Lieut. Col. Mansfield has been made a “special aide” for the occasion, What the duties are is somewhat vaguely understood, but the belief here is that this individual is to be on hand in uniform wherever the President may happen to be, to lend a little official glitter to what might otherwise bea rather somber, broadcloth-lined scene, and be of general utility wherever possible. Inasmuch as the President is likely to almost anywhere and at any time, and as “special aide” seems to be a local officer in every case, it thus happens that every officer of the ‘army with a certain rank has now the chance to become such, just as every American youngster is told that he may some time be- come President of the United States, and the usually gray tones of army life are now suffused with a rosy hope that points to a chance to come into the presidential field of vision. This, to a service man, is an event of importance, for there is many a good billet becoming vacant at all times, and unless one comes up above the surface once in a while there is danger of being Jost in the whirl, SAW THE WHEELS GO AROUND.

HIS DEPARTURE 16 CHEERED BY GREAT CROWDS OF PEOPLE AND AT EVERY PLACE WHERE THE TRAIN STOPS THE GREATEST ENTHUSIASM 18 DISPLAYED. Boston, Aug. 8.—President Harrison arose much refreshed this morning. At 7 o'clock state breakfast was served in the cbony room of the Vendome, the party in addition to the Pres- ident being oe of Acting Governor Brackett, Adjutant General Dalton, Secretary Windom, Secretary Proctor, Walker Blaine, Private Secretary Halford and Col. Mansfield, Shortly after 8 o'clock twenty men, represent- ing the Lancers and half the first battalion of cavalry, who had been chosen to act as outriders on the way to the sta- tion, rode up. Carriages then drew up and the President made his appearance. He was ted with hearty cheers as the party left the hotel, ‘The streets on the rout2 to the depot were thronged with people, who cheered the Chief Executive enthusiastically. Several thousand people were in waiting at the station and received the President with noisy demon- strations of welcome,which continued as he was escorted through the station to the train. The President lingered a moment on the cer plat- form to acknowledge the greetings to the popu- lace, but politely ighored repeated calls for a speech and entered his private car with the Heutenant governor and staff. The trainmoved out of the depot amid THE BOOM OF CANNON AND THE CHEERING OF THE CROWD, The presidential train consisted of three cars, With the President rode Acting Gov- ernor Brackett, Private Secretary Halford, Mr. Walker Biaine, Congressman T. 'B. Reed, Gen. Albert Wheeler of the New Hampshire gov- ernor’s staff, Adjt.Gen. Dalton, Mayor Rich- ards and Mr. J. Otis Wardwell of Haverhill and the higher officers of the railroad. The second car was reserved for other members of the party and newspaper men. Among the former were Gen. Holt and Cols.

Merriam of the railroad were also on the train, with an eye to the comfort of their distinguished guest. AT THE ‘KNOW NOTHING” CROSSIXG, just outside the city, crowds of people lined the tracks, cheering the President,who, stand- ing hatin hand on the platformof his car, bowed his acknowledgements of their plaudits. ‘The crossing passed, the President red his car and substituting a soft traveling hat for his silk one, lounged in his chair, took up » news- paper and made himself generally comfortable, pend get we i whic! beh pears een: ers of his traveling party and to saya it word to all. zi THE FIRST GREAT DEMONSTRATION, Exeter, N.H., Aug. 8.—The first great demonstration after the departure from Boston was made at South Lawrence, where the spe- cial stopped for the first time. There an enor- mous crowd in and around the depot cheered as the train came to a standstill and a salute was fired. President Harrison went to the rear of his car as it entered the sires and heartily shook the hands of the hundreds of people who, closing in behind the train as it stopped, clambered onto the Fay pe or the steps with Pinas cries of “How ure you, Mr. Presi- nt?” Gov. Goodell of New Hampshire and staff joined the train at this point. When the police had made a clear space of a foot or two Mayor Mack occupied it and for- mally welcomed the President to Lawrence, extending a cordial greeting and introduci him to the people. The President bowed hi response, Again the crowd cheered, and with cries of “Long live the President,” cheers for him and his cabinet, music by the band and hurrahs by the people, the train moved off. Among the gentlemen who boarded the train at this point in addition to Gov, Goodell and = Ajo opened api Meee vat and Moore, Secretary of omMpson an Gen. John Eaton, formerly commissioner of education, and Editor C ell of the Concord Monitor, They were Presented to the President, “a Bio ARCH AT HAVEREILE. The next stop was at Haverhill, where a big arch of welcome was erected and a large crowd arene the depot and adjacent streets. As the ‘ain rolled into the depot the band play. cannon roared and the people hurrahed an made a4 noisy time generally. As the train stopped the crowd closed in behind it and Mr. Allen Ordway, clutching the side of the car and standing on a ne.

Personal Passages in Sir Morell Mac- kenzie’s Book—Ocean Steamship Racing Loxpor, Aug. 8.—The German emperor will probably not be as much pleased as the scandal mongers with the report which is given cur- rency today that a copy has been tiously made of the manuscript of the work of Sir Morell Mackenzie, in which he relates his experiences and after the illness of the Emperor Frederick. This work, it is said, gives numberless choice bits of court scandal ted to throw all Berlin into a flutter, \d several wating person- al as extracts from the The book, it is a stated, will be printed in Belgium or in H German emperor It will undoubt- sale, as Sir Morrell has given his word that his authorized version not be published during the life time of the Em- prospective passengers by the rumors of racing for heavy wagers between the new fast trans- ailantic steamers, the of several lines are out today in an emphatic denial that any extraordinary efforts will be made to secure speed. They insist that the safety of their ves- sels will always be the first consideration. This is probably true enoagh, but it is well known that much betting es place whenever two fast ships happen to sail on the same day. It is noted also that after embarking the lady pas- sengers are the first to forget their fears and | are the most anxious for the defeat of a rival vessel. CONGRESS OF GERMAN BARBERS. A congress of the barbers of the German em- pire has just concluded a week's session in Po- sen. Delegates were present from 1,681 towns and cities of Germany, representing nearly 20,000 barbers. A minimum price for shaving and no more hair cutting Sundays are among the more important edicts of this new trust, AN OPERA SINGER'S SUICIDE. The young and talented opera singer of Ber- lin, Catherine Micholsann, while on a visit to Vienna last week committed suicide by shoot- ing herself with a pistol. She was twenty- three years of age, and renowned for her beauty as well as for her talents, No cause for the rash act is assigned. THE GERMAN BICYCLE CHAMPION, The German bicyclists are jubilant at the vic- tory of their champion, August Lehr, over the first riders in England on their own ground. The Berlin papers now claim for him the title of champion of the world. He is a member of tho Berlin bicycle club. te THE BLACK DIAMOND CASE. Capt. Thomas Makes an Affidavit as to Her Seizure. Viotonta, B.C., Aug. 8.—Affidavits were | sworn to yesterday by the officers and crew of | the schooner Black Diamond detailing the cir- cumstances connected with the seizure of that | vessel by the cruiser Rush. Capt. Thomas in his affidavit says that Lieut. Tuttle when he came on board said: “Well, we've pean, od you in the act.” Capt. Thomas askod tne lieuten- antfor his instructions, The lieutenant re- fused to show apy, and said: “You are a set of damned thieves.” He then asked for the schooner’s papers, and upon Capt. Thomas re- fusing to give them up had the locker forced ope and took them. When Lieut. Tuttle re d one sailor on board the schooner Capt. jomas told him that unless a crew was placed | aboard the schooner it would not be taken to Sitka, To this Lieut. Tuttle made no reply. THE CREW PAID OFF. A. Frank paid off the Black Diamond crew yesterday. Before doing so he took affidavits from the men concerning their knowledge of | the seizure. All the affidavits substantiate the facts already telegraphed concerning the affair, These affidavits will used by Frank in con- nection with his claim against the United States government for damages. It is generally con- sidered that Lieut. Tuttle acted entirely out- side the law in breaking open the captain's papers and that he had no right to remove any of the effects of the vessel. The law, it is understood, merely authorizes him to take a TWO CENTS. THE CHEROKEE STRIP. Several Elected Favorable to the Sale— Chief Busbyhead’s Pian. Tarzgvan, L T., Aug. 8.—The election re- turns show that in the Canadian district Wm. Henderson was elected to the senate by an surrepti- | overwhelmingly majority. The issue involved the sale of the strip and the allotment in sev- eralty of the lands of the nation proper. Hen- dereon was outspoken in favor of the sale. This dispels the prevalent idea that the Chero- kees are almost unanimously adverse to the sale of the strip. In other districts the senti- ment in favor of selling is just as strong as in the Canadian district, If Chief Busheyhead knows nothing of Chief Mayes’ intention, he, himself, is in favor of the pointment of a commission to with government representatives and the agree- ment reached to be ratified by the popular vote at a special election to be provided for by the ional i Prroxta, Morr., Aug. &§—A man named Reed has been making a tour of the Yellowstone park in a surrey, with Billy Milligan as driver. Reed had considerable money with him and while ona spree gave Milligan $500 to carry forhim, On his return trip through the park Reed, still under the influence of liquor, confided to his companion that he had in his valise valuable family diamonds, On ar- rival at the springs Reed retired early. Next morning Mulligan and the diamonds were miss- ing. Reed startedin pursuit, captured his man and turned him over to the soldiers in the park. As there is no law in the park Lieut, Edwards was compelled to let him go. Reed's losses amount to $10,000. THE WRECK OF THE MONTREAL. The Fog Was so Dense That the Point Could Not be Seen. Monrereat, Aug. 8.—The following details of the wreck of the steamship Montreal have been received: Soon after leaving Quebec the Mon- treal encountered a dense fog, which was so thick that it was impossible to sight Father point, which she was then passing. On Satur- day immense icebergs were encountered and for four hours the engines were stopped. Dur- ing the night the fog again thickened and the engines were again slowed down but not stopped. ‘the fog continued and at 9 o'clock on Sunday morning the vessel strack. The en- gineers and firemen rushed up from below and reported that water was running ia in torrents, There were sixteen cattlemen on board and they immediately became terror stricken and rushed for the boats and began to cut them loose. The officers and crew, however, kept cool and succeeded in driving the cattlemen from the boats, The crew were then ordered to their stations and the boats were lowered and all hands safely taken sshore, the ship be- ing finaliy abandoned half an hour after she struck. She soon sank, stern first, only her — spars remaining above water, ‘he passengers and crew are encamped on Belle Isle and have provisions enough to last them until they can be taken off. psantnced se A BIG MINING DEAL.
