Sr. Pact, Oct. 11.—A special to the Pioneer Press from Pierre, 8. D., says: Considerable anxiety fs felt in regard to the ballots to be printed under the new Australian voting sys tem. While the state will require less than 500,000 ballots the trouble will be to print them in the allotted time. Tho law says that they shall be printed in the stato, and there are only nine days for the printers to work on them. There are but few fast cylinder presses in the state, and the ballots are so large that they can be printed only on large presses. Then again there isa chortage in the paper supply. One firm in this city has enough to print 500,000 ballpts, and it looks as though they were going to force the state to come to terms. Telegrams have been sent all overghe state to find out the supply, which reveals tWe fact that there are no quantities except at Pierre. A YOUNG ERIDE KIDNAPED.

D., feels satisfied that trouble is brew- sheriff of Atoka | 16- “Thad,” said Dr. McGillicuddy, in an in- terview, “a long talk with American Horse,who thinks the situation is serious enough to war- rant prompt consideration. One trouble at present, and one of the most serlous compli- cations, is the fact that the agent at Pine Ridge, Capt. Brown of the eleventh infantry, is not the permanent agent, and the Indians are inelined to build on the possibility of his being taken away atany time. Capt. Brown has the affaires of the agency in excellent shape and is thoroughly posted. The government owes it to the settlers to adjust this matter before spring. It may be that no trouble at all will occur, but it will not take much to start a worse outbreak next spring then the one of two years ago. Spring time, when the grass is green, is Indians’ time for war,and he will make the slightest pretext an excuse to go out. “The battle of Wounded Knee and its horrors is still a topic among the Sioux at Pine a ‘and they won't want much coaxing to give the soldiers plenty of work next summer.

During the latter part of President Cleve- land's administration United States Consul Ast- wood at San Domingo originated the scheme. He proposed to raise in the United States a guarantee fund of £75,000 or $100,000, which was to be deposited with the San Domingo gov- ernment as security for the safe return of the remains. The proposition was discussed for a short time and the universal opinion was that such a desecration would be execrable. The San Domingan government officially and indig- nantly refused to consider the proposition Be Bayard was so incensed that he wrote avery sharp letter to Consul Astwood, telling him, in substance, that his conduct m the mat- ter was indecorous and highly reprehensible. ‘That was the end of the matter and the Ameri- can public will not gaze upon Columbus’ re- mains at the world’s fair, for, notwithstanding the renewal of the story as applied to the present time, no communications on the subject have tince passed between the Department of State apd sny officials, either native or American, in San Domingo.

Several flour mills on the Magdalena river, state of Sonora, Mexico, are doing a good busi- ness. The lands along the river are well irri- gated and good crops are produced. _ It is said that there is plenty of good land to be had cheap, a good market for everything produced and that labor is abundant, ‘There is a good market for canned fruit, at reasonable prices, in Mexico. The canning factory at Ensenada is reported to be in a pros perous condition. Concession for alligator hunting in the Toco- lutla, Nautla, Papaloapam and Coatzacoalcos rivers has just been granted.

Dangerous in Case of Fire. The report of Capt. Wm. M. Meredith, chiefof the bureau of engraving and printing, calls at- tention to the wooden structures used for ink mills, laundry, &c., which are pronounced dangerous to the bureau building and to the neighborhood in case of fire. Speaking of this matter the report says: “The extent of this danger was fully seen on the morning of June 25 last after what came very nearly bein serious fire in the rag laundry. The laundry building was badly damaged, and the scorched sides of the large frame structure used by the commivary department indicate how very near the neighborhood was to a serious con- flagration. It was only the vigilance of the em- pe of the bureau and the exertions of the istrict fire department that prevented. With an experience of ver three years’ eervice here I do not know of any item that is more urgently de- manded by the necessities of the service than the one for this purpose. If « destructive fire should occur here it would cost the govern- ment at least €50,000 before the work of the bureau could be resumed—and that is $20,000 more than is asked for—beside the embarrass- ment that would result. I therefore recom- mend that the attention of Congress be called to this matter and that urgent efforts be made “| the monument just where it is, although I to seoure the necessary appropriation.” sii ete some Saabscene Virginia’s Direct Tax.

Semmes’ Recollections of an Interesting Ceremony. “I remember the laying of the corner stone of the Washington monument,” remarked Mr. Jobn H. Semmes, the well-known B atreet com- mission merchant, to a Star reporter today, “‘as distinctly es if it had hap- pened yesterday. If I remember the yenr rightly, it was the 4th of July, 1848. But some of my friends have claimed that it was in 1849. It woe a beautiful day and there must have been not less than 10,000 people present. That, you know, was a big crowd in those days. All of the dignitaries of the gov- ernment were there and Robt. C, Winthrop de- livered the oration, “The coruer stone was laid by old Squire Clement T.

Peter F. Bacon, I think, ‘supported him, as he was quite feeble. Bacon at that time was the command- t of the District militia, but I forget whether he was the chief marshal of the pa- rade or not, I am inclined that it was some one else. I remember well that the marshal of the parade agreed that day to keep our trap- pings, and when the monument was completed tongain use them. But just before the monu- ment was.finished I loaned mine out and never gotthem ugain. But as it was I forgot the day of its completion, so I missed it after all. “after the laying of the corner stone the pro- ion was reviewed by the President, Polk, I k it was, in front of Willard’s Hotel. “I never know just why it was decided to iad e lieve it was placed there because Architect Mills considered that a better foundation could be secured there than anywhero clse. Mr. Mills waa from South Carolina, and wae, I think, the original architect of the monument. The mouu- ment lot in those days was nothing but hills and gullies, and it scemed almost incredible that such great and beautiful changes have taken place there. But such changes have taken place everywhere throughont the city, and it is very pleasant to peti to live to bebol Along the River. Schooner Indepondent, Baltimore, Capt.

Calvin Chase and referred to the former for investigation. “Tam in receipt of your communication of October 5, 1892, containing charges preferred against William Calvin Chase by certain par- ties and requesting this office as follows: ‘Re- spectfully referred to the attorney for examina- tion and report.’ Permit me to say that while Tam willing to aid the Commissioners ina matter of this kind by taking the testimony, and have done so in two or three cases hereto- | fore, still, as this case stands, I think that the Ceipectone laining of Mr. Chase should be ft to establish their rights in the courts of this District. If he wrongfully taken money in either of the cases named in the preferred against him suits may be brought the proper partie in any of the Justices’ courts of the Dis- t having jurisdiction of the amount in- volved, and if the amount is above that juris- diction, in the Supreme Court of the District, in which case the result will bea judicial one and much more satisfactory, it seems to me, to all parties concerned than if conducted in the | manner indicated by the paperssubmitted to me. As the Commissioners aro aware, in conducting such a proceeding I have ‘no power to compel the attendance of witnesses, and it would not be my province to’ find for the Commissioners the conclusions of fact warranted by the testimony, as that should Properly bo left to their own’ judgment upon carefal examination and review of the testi- mony taken. If these parties are left to com- mence suits in the court all the facts can be do- veloped there—witnesees compelled to attend and testify, subject to the law providing a pun- ishment for perjury or false swearing. My office just now is pressed business, b at the table and in the courts, and if’ aftor reading this letter the Commissioners still think ‘that it is desiral this of. | fice should take the testimon: matter I respectfully request that we be perm. ° lay its taking until such time as it can be done without embarrassment to the more pressing | and urgent business of the office, and in which case I would respectfully request the Commis- sioners to formulate more specifically the ques- tions to be investigated and whethor attorneys may be permitted to appear on both or elthe side of the controversy.

The Chilean Times of August 31 contains a long account of the highly succeesful dinner given by the American residents at Santiago to the American minister, Mr. Egan, just befors his departure for this country. There were present some forty gentlemen hailing from nearly every section in the United States. Mr. Charles F. Hillman presided, and, on in- troducing Mr. Egan, said, speaking of that gon- tleman: “The unanimity of the response to the sug- gestion of the reunion by us, who have enjoyed the closest personal contact with him; the way in which Americans, of whose very existence | some of us were in ignorance, seemed to spring | into life and action at the bare idea, is adequate proof that Mr. Egan, by his unswerving recti- tude during a most trying poriod, by his broad sentiments of Christian charity and unfailing Portonal kindness and courtesy, hus boen a liv- g exponent of true republicanism in the best sense of the word. “While it is true that hus actions, so jealously watched by us all, have becn by some wrongly construed and misinterpreted, yet we firmly and fully believe that the perspective of a little time will clearly chow to such how mistaken they have been and how absolutely groundless have been all such conclusions.” sain bis reply, among other things, Mr. Egan “In the difficult times through which we have all so recently passed, and which have happily disappeared never I ‘trust to return, I have endeavored, as was my duty, to guard our national rights and privileges whenever I con- sidered they were invaded, and to defend the flag and the uniform of our nation when I be- lieved thoy were assailed. Iam happy to know that my courso in so doing is favorably ap ciated by all reasonable thinking men in ile, Chileans as well as citizens of the United States, while Ihave the assurance that at home it is warmly approved by every patriotic American to whatever party he belongs. “Happily the clouds that for atime dimmed tho international relations of the two countries have entirely passed away, and Iam sure that every one in this room will be glad to know that to- day the sister republics of the United States and Chile, after happy arrangement of the | family differences which I am pleased to be ablo | to say I was instrumental. in conjunction with the present able and bniiliant minister of for- | eign relations, in bringing about, are better | friends than they have ever been during the last fifty years.” The same issue kas a notice of Mr. Egan's departure, which contains the following: “Mr. Egan has scored a decided success in the settle. ment of the Baltimore case, while with tothe convention for the ‘adjustment of the claims arising out of the late war there is no denying the fact that he hax stolen « march on his diplomatic confreres. ‘These combined cir- cumstances will make Mr. Egan more popular than ever with his party in the United States.” os pramserhncamacs GUNBOAT JUSTICE. Teaching South Sea Natives That It is Costly to Kill and Eat White Men. The Solomon Islanders, who inhabit a beauti- parallel with the northeast coast of New Guinea, | says a writer in the New York Sun, have earned the reputation of being among the wildest and most untamable of savages. Itis only within | afew years that the missionaries have at- tempted to work among them. Before the natives grew accustomed to the sight of trading vessels it was as much as a man’s life was worth to venture on shore, and the islanders were left pretty much to themselves until six or seven years ago, when England and Germany divided the islands between them, and | then looked around to see if they were really worth dividing. Since then a number of trad- ers and missionaries have built stations on ths islands and persistently wooed the natives to | barter and prayer. The coy and suspicious creatures, however, have distrusted the good intentions of the strangers, and as they are confirmed head hunters they have lost no op- portunity to lop off the head of a white man whenever they caught him alone. ‘The British government decided recently to keep a war vessel in the neighborhood and teach the natives better than to eat mission- aries and adorn tabu houses with the skulls of traders. So her majesty's ship Rapid has done 8 lively business of late, inflicting gunboat jus- tice upon villages indulging in cannibal feaste, with white men as the most tempting delicacy on the bill of fare.
