Indian Agent McLaughlin of Standing Rock agency has written a decidedly serious letter to the Indian bureaa. In it he says it is not at all | improbable that the entire Sioux nation will go | on the warpath next spring under the leader- ship of Sitting Bull, the object being the ex- termination of the white race on this continent. They are being worked up to fighting point by Medicine men, who insist that when the new grass comes the Indian millennium will arrive and that the Indian dead will all arise to assist their fellow braves of the present generation in doing things up to their entire satisfaction. Agevt McLanghlin is strong in his denuncia- tion of Sitting Bull, who is, he says, a coward, a liar, a hbertine and an active obstructionist. Then follows this somewhat remarkable and locally interesting statement: “He (Sitting Bull) has been a disturbing ele- ment here since his return from confinement as a military prisoner in the spring of 1883; but he has been growing gradually worse the past year, which is partly to be accounted tor by the presence of a lady from Brooklyn, N.Y., med Mrs. C. Weldon, who came here in June, 1889, announcing berself a member of Dr. Biand’s society—the Indian Defense Associa- tion—and opposed to the Indians ratifying the act of March 2, 1889. While here she bestowed numerous presents upon Sitting Bull, consider- able being money, which had a demoralizing | effect upon hiw, inflating bim with hie im- portance. «After her departure she kept up a corre- spondence with Sitting Bull until early last ‘pring. when she again returned and located | on the north bank of Cannon Ball river just outside of this reservation and about twenty- five miles north of the ageney. Sitting Bull has been a frequent visitor to her house, and he has grown more insolent and worthless with every visit he has made there, her lavish ex- diture of money and other gifts upon him bling him to’ give frequent feasts and hold councils, thus perpetuating the old-time customs among the Indians and engrafting with their superstitions nature this additional absurdity of the ‘new Messiah’ and ‘return of the ghosts,’ and in this coming Sitting Bull, whose former influence being so undermined andtepure so uncertain, asserts bimself ag ‘high priest.’ ” No Recount of New York. The Secretary of the Interior has decided that the city of New York will have to worry along for the next ten years with the census which was taken in Gotham last June, the ap- plication of Mayor Grant for a recount being denied in along opinion, The ground of the arguments for and against is covered very smoothly and to aconstderable depth. Secre- tary Noble says he is certain that the census as taken under the supervision of Mr. Porter has been @ success—eareful, intelligent and com- plete—and that it should not bs impaired by any disposition to please any particular co: munity, however inteliigent, powerful and ear- nest in its appeal, Considerable stress is laid on the fact thut the mayor refused or neglected or was unable to produce testimony for thé census office which would mvalidate the fed- eral count, but that he appealed to the Secre- tary of the Interior without having first tried his case in a lower court. An Appeal to Be Taken. In the case of the estate of the late Bushrod Askins, in which a paper was propounded as the noncupative will written out the day after the death, April 13 last (and not some weeks after, as heretofore stated) and ruled out by Judge Bradley, the propounders will appeal, The paper wag written from the statements of witnesses read over to them and filed on April 22, within six days of death, as required by law. ———___ Perfecting a Title. There have been placed on record deeds from George Goodyear, Jane Patrick, John Patrick and others, heirs of George and Ralph Walker, conveying their interest in a large number of lots in squares in the neighborhood of the Lin- coln Park to John H. Walter, the consideration being nominal. The magnitude of the deal is, however, seen in the deed of trust given by Mr. Walter on the property to Messrs. Ridout and Loundes to secure the payment of $100,000. —— The Proposed District Centennial. The first meeting of the board of trade for this fail will be held November 7, This will be a special meeting of the whole board, for which a cali has just been issued. The subject to be considered is the proposed celebration of the centennial of the establishment of Washington as the national capital, The date of the cele- bration is April 15, 1891, Secretary Anderson of the board of trade told a Srax reporter to- day that a plan for the celebration would be submitted at the mecting November 7, a Foot Ball in Washington. This afternoon at 4:30 o’clock on the George- town University grounds, the Columbia Ath- letic Club’s foot ball team will play against the team from Georgetown College. This is the first opportunity the Columbia boys liave had to meet the college team, . Arrangements have been perfected for the middle states foot ball championship match at Capitol Park, North Capitol and G streets, next Friday afternoon, The match will be between the University of Pennsyivania team, which in- cludes Waggonburst, the ex-base ball player, and the University of Virginia team. The latter | is regarded as the strongest foot ball team in the | south, and the other us one of the best northern | and an excellent match is assured. Greenleaf of the Virginia team is one of their strongest men, and perhaps bas no equal as a rusher. There has never before been an op- portunity to witness a match between repre- sentatives of northern and southern teams here, and the coming game will be one of unusual interest, -_-———— Under the Influence of Opium. Arthur Burgess got out of the penitentiary about five mouths ago and was released from the work house last Friday, This morning about 1 o'clock Policeman Eaton arrested him on 9th street and charged him in tho Police Court today with being a vagrant and sus- picious person. The officer testified that when he arrested the prisoner the latter was ‘thalf druak.” The olticer said he found burgess loitering about doorw: “He looked like man,” said the officer, “who was under the in- e of opium.” “Yes, sir,” said the prisoner, “I had been using opium.” “I was informed,” continued the officer, “that he drinks Squibb’s mixture and eats opium and he never pays for them unless a po- liceman is around.” As the defendant had only been out of the work house & short time Judge Muller thought he ought to be given another chance and ac- cepted his personal bonds, — The Women Were Released. This morning about! o'clock Lieut, Amiss’ officers raided several rooms in the Thompson law building, No. 711 G street, opposite the Patent Oftice, and took six colored women into custody, Most of the women had male com- pauions, one of them being an ex-policeman. The women were taken in and charged with vagrancy, but none of the men were arrested. ‘The cases were tried before Judge Miller to- day, and the officers gave evidence as to the reputation of the building, but were unable to state anything against the women arrested, Licut. Amiss explained that the raid was made because of an anonymous complaint from citi- zens, Judge Miller commented on the habit of | persons complaining to the police, end then expecting them to make the cases without coming forward themselves, Le women were discharged. mmecvees cee Dismissed by the Supreme Court.

SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS MADE TO THE CLERKS— MONEY NEEDED FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES— THEY ARE ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE—AN IMPLIED THREAT IN CASE THEY REFUSE TO GIVE. The attention of Mr. William Dudley Foulke, chairman of the investigating committee of the Civil Service Reform League, has been calloq toa circulrr sent by one W.W. Curry in behalf of the Indiana state republican commit- tee asking for campaign contributions. The letter transmitting copies of the circulars to Mr. Foulke says that they were sent to a clerk in the Treasury Department. While they are very carefully worded so as to evado the letter | of the law as far as possible the fact that they were sent addressed to the department is re- garded as @ violation of the civil service law. Some passages are susceptible of a construc- tion to suggest a threat by implication. ‘The following are copies of the circulars: CIRCULAR NUMBER ONE. AGext For Ispraya Repvpricay State Commrrree, Room No, 7, 631 F Street N.W., Wasainaton, D.C., August 15, 1590, Dear Sir: Having been designated by the re- Publican state committee of Indiana to receive and forward such fands as the republicans of | Washington may see proper to contribute to- ward defraying the campaign expenses of tho present year I respectfully ask your considera- tion to the following suggestions: 1. As intelligent citizens you are well aware that to organize a party and conduct a cam- | paign requires money. With the most patriotic devotion and selt-sacrificing labor on the part of the committees and candidates there are still unavoidable expenses which must be met by the rank and file who desire party success. All parties expect to and do raise money by | the voluntary contributions of their members. ‘There are two classes who are always ready to cry outagainst such contributions—those whose meanness secks an excuse for refusing to aid in securing the success of the party of which they are the beneficiaries and those whose con- sciousness of their own corruptness makes them ready to charge corrupt motives on others. I feel sure that you do not belong to | either of these classes ana will feel willing to bear your share of the burden of the necessary expenses, 2 As republicans you must desire the suc- cess of the party and especially that we retain control of the next Congress in order to com- | plete necessary legislative work. A single Con- {gress is not enough in which to harmonize | opinions, mature laws to protect the equal | Tights of allcitizens and determine what is | best to be done for the vast and varied mate~ | rial interests of this great country, Since the successful introduction of the “shot gun,” “tis- sue ballot” and “counting out” industries into the democratic policy of the south we have not had two successive republican Congresses, be- cause of the large number of stolen seats the other party have held, As we havo special in- terest in the success of President Harrison's administration a duty devolves on us to do our utmost to obtain a republican majority in the next House. 3. As Indiana republicans you know tho dea- perate political methods of the democracy of our state and the infamous means to which they have resorted to hold it, In open and flagrant violation of the constitution of the state they haye passed an election iaw intended to disfranchise you; they have so gerryman- dered the state as to deprive republicans of just and equal representation in Congress and in the legislature; they have shamefully pros- tituted the public and charitabie instatutions of the state to the meanest party uses, and they have doubled the state debt as a result of their mismanagement. You are therefore cofidently appealed to by your fellow republicans of the state to assist them in the present campaign with so much of the sinews of war as you can afford. ‘This will en- able them, by a thorough organization anda free use of the means of information, to make asuccesstul appeal to the people of the st ‘Two years ago we wrested trom the democr: the executive and the judicial departments and this year we should win the legisiature, This will give us the Senator to whom we are just entitled, will secure to us a fair apportionme: under the new census, and will enable us to se- cure our proper share of members of the House of Representatives as well as enable us to remedy the abuses of the last ten years of dem- ocratic misrule. To those republicans who are in office allow me to say: You have the same right to contrib- ute to the campaign funds of your party as if you were not in oftice. No one has a right to Assess or to coerce you into giving; but no one has a right to prohibit you. You cannot be so- licited at your places ofgofticial duty, but out- side these youcan confer and contribute us you please. “Lhe civil service laws are designed to protect you in the free exercise of your | rights—not to convert you into poiitical eu- | huchs, Any civil service commissioner, superior officer or feliow employe who attempts tu hin- der your giving will be himself in violation of the law. I address you, therefore, as free men, fellow republicans, desirous of aiding your party in all proper and lawful . That all Indiana republicans, office, who wash to aid the state committee by their contributions may have the opportunity of so doing, I have the honor to announce that Iwill be at my office daily during business hours,and will remain there from 4 to 6 o'clock | on the following days: August 31 and Septem- | ber 1, 15 and 30. Come aud see me as above. Very truly, yours, W. W. Corny. CIRCULAR NUMBER TWO. AGENT FoR Ixpiana Repvuniicay State Commrrrer, . 1510 Yeu Steve N. Wasutnatox, D. October 15, . To all Indiana republicans in the District of Columbia: Tagain address you as the designated agent of the republican state committee of Indiana, and urge you to give immediate becd to these suggestion: ‘The supreme court of the state having pro- nounced nnconstitutional the thirteen:2 sec- tion of the election law, which required the registration of non-resident citizens, every lawiul voter may feel sure of being permitted to exercise his right of suffrage if he will pre- sent himself at Lis proper polling place.

They want our help (1) in such contribu- tions to assist in meeting necessary expenses as we are able to make; and (2) in polling vote to which we are entitled on Tuesday. vember 4 next. State pride, patriotic duty and partisan zeal all urge us to meet their cail in both respects, By proper efforts we shall | double the number of our Representatives in | ress, elect a majority of the legisiature, | secure a United States Senator for the next six | Years, redistrict the state under the new census | and correct abuses in state legislation. Will not every republican in the District do his part | toward accomplishing these desirable result-? |. 1.

Every republican voter intending to go should report the fuct to the president as sou | as possible, and every one who does go will | also report as soon as he returus. Don't fail of this, as a roster of voters is extremely desira- bie and will be made from the best attainable information. 3. As far as possible make and settle your subscriptions this week, as I must leave the city to take part in the campaign on Monday next, the 20th instant. You can pay at my office after that, as I shall leave receipts, but if possible do 80 before I go. 4.

In the Supreme Court of the United States yesterday Mr. Enoch Totten, in the case of exparte Washington and Georgetown railroad company, asked leave to file @ petition for a mandamus to the justices of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to compel them to enter up a judgment im accordance with the mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States. There is only the question of interest on a judgment involved. Some years since, in the case of McDade agt. the W. and G. R. R. Co., 8 judgment was ren- dered for plaintiff for $6,095 for injuries re- ceived, which resuited in the loss of an arm. The case was taken up on appeal and it was claimed that the judgment carried interest and the court so decided. The Supreme Court of the United States, however, when the case was heard decided otherwise and sens down its mandate to that effect, but judgment has not been entered thereon, it is claimed, in accord- auce with the mandate, WOMEN AS LAY DELEGATES, A Vote to Be Taken ip All the Methodist Churches Tonight. Tonight the great Methodist campaign of the season will culminate in s shower of bal- lots, and there will be much eagerness dis- played before the results are announced. At every Methodist church (one or two ouly ex- cepted) in the District of Columbia every member in good standing over the age of twenty-one will this evening be given a chance to express his or her preference on the important question “Shall women be ad- mitted as lay delegates to the general confer- ce?” In most of the churches the yoting will commence at 5 o'clock, but in one or two instances the polis will be open an hour earlier, The closing hour also varies from 8 to 10 p.m. “It should be remembered,” said a promi- nent divine today, ‘that this vote will not be binding. z zi “It is simply an expression of the wishes of thechurch, if the vote is overwhelmingly in favor of the proposed change the general con- ference isnot bound to admit women. 'Three- fourths of the annual conferences must also favor the amendment, and then there must be acloar two-thirds majority in the general confer- ence, “Should the plan be carried throngh it would be a revolution that would affect almost every other denomination, At present women and men are on religious equality only in the So- ciety of Friends, the Universalists and tho wedenborgians, If they should be exalted in Methodism aiso it would stir things up among our Baptist and Presbyterian and Congrega- tional brethren and nobody knows wiere the thing would end.” ee The Proposed Methodist University. There will be a big Methodist National Uni- versity sort of a time at Metropolitan M.E.

Recently a THE COMMISSIONERS’ ESTIMATES, A General Cutting Down Necessary to Provide for Street Improvements. ‘The Commissioners are still hard at work om their estimates, Some important changes are looked for when the estimates are made public. The most important change is in the engineer department. When the Commissioners started in on their estimates all the other branches of the District. government were taken up before the engineer department was touched. The consequence was that when the $450,000 street schedule, which Capt. Rossell had recommended, was reached there was not a dollar left for the Commissioners to apply to this fund. It wasatone time thought advis- able to leave off the improvement of strects entirely, but Captain Rossell argued strongly against this, Nothing was left then for the Commissioners to do but reduce their other estimates. Accordingly they reviewed their work, striking off a doilar here and there, re- ducing the amount asked for in almost eve: branch of the service and wound up wi about 425,000 To RE EXPENDED UPON STREETS, Then the question arose as to what streets could be left off, Capt, Rossell thought that every one he had recommended needed im- —— badly, The schedule had to be re- uced, however, and the Commissioners ordered Capt. Rossell to do the cutting. After some cousideration another schedule was submitted, which was amended by simply cutting off the streets after the $425,000 had been applied as far as it would go. ee BEER AT A PIE HOUSE, Frank Wade Fined $105 for Selling Liquor Without a License, “Did you eat pie?” was the question that Lawyer Shillington asked each of a number of colored witnesses who were called in the Police Court today to prove that Frank Wade, colored, sold liquor at 5th and N streets northwest, where there is an cating house, Each witness smiled when the lawyer said “pie,” and their mouths watered. Policemen Williams and Parker were re- sponsible for Wade's presence in court, They secreted themsolves in the rear of what Mr. Shillington attempted to show was a “pie house” and saw colored men drinking ‘small beers.” Tho men said that they called for milk and were given beer. Lawyer Shillington argued that the proof offered did not show that the beer was furnished in quantities jess than one pint. The judge's remembrance of the proof was different, but in order that there should be no mistake one of the colored witnesses was re- called and he said that the glasses were not as large as stove pipes, “Show us,” said Mr. Shillington, “how large the glasses were,” The witness indicated how tall the glasses wereand bis hands indicated a glass long enough to hoid a gallon, The defendant testified in his own behalf that if his wife sold beer there he did not know at. “Wade,” asked the judge, “were you here | some time ago?” Yes, sir,” he responded. that didn’t seem to teach you much of a lesson. 8,it did, because I promised God in heaven that I would never sell beer and I haven't.” ‘But you didn’t promise not to have it om your premises.” “No, sir, because I buy it for my own use.” Mr. Shillington argued that the defendant's wife was conducting the business on her own respousibility and that the husband was not liable, Judge Miller held to the contrary. He said that the traffic in liquor by hodcarriers as becoming yery frequent, “It is these es, I have diseovered,” said the judge, “which cause so much drunkenness and lead to fights. Who would ever suspect that a shop that has a watermelon and a pig's foot outside would sell liquor in the back room, It is the duty of the court to break up such places.
