They sald that under the existing circumstances it would be im- possible for the conntry to remain in a peace- ful condition for any length of time, The commisioner of pensions has stricken off the list of pensions the names of about two huudred rosidents of the District of Columbia, found to ba not eutitled to pensions either ba- cause they had recovered from their disabili- ties or were not dependent upon the govern- ment, The Colombian ministor says the presence in New York of Senor Helguin is not for the purpote of ascertaining the sentimenta of the nited States concerning a proposition for makiog Panama a peutral state.

Yellow fever now geems linble to becomes epidemic st any time, a8 there have been a number of fatal cises among the marines, He was informed by a board of surgeons, appointed to investi- ate the matter, that there were three veasels in the harbor of Colon. A num- ber of cases of yellow fover and disease were also prevalent in the cities of Aspinwall and Panama, In regard to the political condition of the jsthmus hesaye: ¢ I am happy to state that matters seem to be entirely settled, and the isthmus now has better and stconger gov- ernment than it has had for many years; and this promises to be permanent,” The Colambians, the admiral turther says, now have a garrison along the line of transit, and they have an ample force to protect and fortifyit. They have relieved the American forces of all duties on the shore except of slurdinv trains and they were to assume that uty on the 26th. “The Columbian author- jties,” the admiral concludes, ‘‘seem very anxious to assumo all the duties of protecting transit and foreign property.” Under cate of May 11 the American gecre- tary of legation at Berlin informed the de- ment of state that on that date Bismarck eclared in the course of a discussion of the tariff bill in reichstag that an understanding had been arrived at by the German and Span- ish governments pursuant to a provision fix- ing the duty rate for Spanish rye of one mark per 100 kilograms had been eliminated from the treaty of 1883, The effect of this agree- ‘ment will be to subjecs American rye to the advanced rate of three marks per 100 kilo- grams, which will be the uniform rate of all countriee, WAThe treasury inquiry commission con- cluded il investigation of the interal revenue bureau, and has made a report to the secretary of the treas- ury, The commission recommend a reduc- tion in the present force, In severaldiyisions they suggest changes in the methods during business hours which, they think, will im- prove the work of the bureau, The changes recommended involve a general reorganiza tion of the bureau, The commission will next devote its attention to the supervising archi- tect's cfice, ecretary of the treasury of the United States of Columbis, by order of his govern- ment, hus presented special thanks to Ad- miral Joustte for *‘very opportune and im- portant services rendered Columbia in the diffioult circumstances through which she reecently passed.” The secretary of the treasury has called on the board of managers of tho world’s expo- sition at New Orleans, for itemizad state- ments of the premiums awa+ded exhibitors, The resignation of A.

The following dispatches of Gen. Seofield to Adjutant Gen Drum relative to Indian troubles, have been recelved at the war de partment: *‘In reply to your dispatch of this date ploase intorm the secrotary of war that I do not believe it practicable to do anything more at this time than has been done to give protection to settlers in Arizona and New Mexico from the marauding Indians, It is not possible to actually guard all the frontier sottlements. That would require a force wany times larger than the United States army, besldes the damage has already been done, In Arizona lnd‘lguvl Mexico settlers have escaped and have taken refuge at the military posts and the large settlements, I understand that Gen, Orook and Col, Brady have all the trosps the can use in pureuit of the Indiaus, but will more if they can use them.

CHICAGO'S MAYORALTY IN CONTEST—CARTER'S BID FOR NOTORIETY, Special Telegram to The BEx. CH10AGO, T1L., June 4, —There is a genera feeling of impatience at the delay in the mayoralty contest proceedings which, it is understood, will eventnally be brought against Carter Harrison, The trouble seems tobe the mayor's absenca:from the city. Judge Sidney Smith says there certainly will be a contest, but not of necessity brought in s name. The contest, however, cannot be brought until Harrison retucns and qualifies, when the papers can be served on him, Congressman Finerty has also made up his mind to contest the election of treasurer with Devine. His attorney says there is no doubt that Finerty recsived & ma. jority of the legal votes over Devine. The attorney engaged to represont the spec'al committee ot the republican campaign com- mittee has prepared a paper to file in the con- test and while he will not state the course to be gurauad he allowed it to bennderstood that nothing would be done until Harriton quali- fied. A Washington special relates that the opin- fon of Chicago democrata there is that rison ontered into an sgreement with the cit- izena’ committee to make war upon the gsm- blers and the gang, if the committee would not attempt to deprive him of ghe office of mayor. This report is indignantly denied at the headquarters of the citizens’ committee. They are inclined to think that Mayor Har- rison’s latest move in his professed determina. tion to_suppress_gambliog is made with the sole object of gnining o little cheap notoriety and keeping himself before the public, his many recent defeats being calculated to throw bim into the back eround and cause him to be considered of no importance outside the circle of the garg, ———— WILL ARREST MLLE, NEVADA, AN ACCUSED NEW YORK CRITIO THREATENING TO PROSECUTE THE PRIMA DONNA FOR LIBEL, New York, June 3,—[Chicago Herald ]— In an interview with Mlle. Nevada, cabled from London to-day, she is represented as charging Fredorick A. Schwab, of the New York Timass, with attempting to obtain money from her for favorably noticing her perfor. mances in that paper, Because of her refnsal to entortain the proposal she states that the criticisms of her perfor- mancs, which subsequently appeared in the Times, were extremely unfair, ., George Joves, of the Times, said to-day: *Mr, Schwab is not our musical critic, and has not been on the staff of the Times since He writes articles for us ocasionally. Mr, Schwab has informed me that he never saw Mlle. Nevada when she was here, never had any such conversation with her, and never made any such proposition to et di- rectly or indirectly, The allegation is a malienant falsehood, made out of whole cloth” Schwab says in regard to the matter: I have iustructed my lawyers to arrest Mlle, Nevada on a charge of criminsl libel the mo- ment she comes to this country, be it in one year or ten years from this time, I have also cabled ~ to friends_in London and Paris to watch the FEuropean papers and advise me at once if anything of this nature appears in them, The moment it appears, I will proceed to the other side and bring similar proceedings thero, If Mlle, Nevada has the misfortune to make any statement of a similar sort in any Iuropean city, she will find herself in a “jail. The trouble about the matter now is that I cannot prosecute her in Kurope for what she raid in this country. I have proof that she said this thing to a third party, aod I have ma- terial enough to have her placed under bonds in actions for both criminal and civil libel if she should step on a wharf in this city to- morrow.” e — THE SBILENT IRON MILLS, EARLY STRIKE, Pirrsponc, June 4.—1t is reported that the sheet mill men of the Amalgamated associa- tion in a sccret session here are considering the advisibility of accepting the ten per cent reduction proposed by th¢’ manufacturers, Nothiog definite can be leared in regard to the meeting and the Amalgamated officials refsse to either affirm or deny the report, A prominent member of the manufacturers’ asso PROSPEOTS OF AN COLLAPSE OF THE said if the sheet mill men decide o accent the ten per cent, reduction the strikers are beaten, ‘They will bs compellsd to make all other concassions and the strike would be at anond, Tho stand taken by the sheet mill men has ciused considerabls dissatisfaction among the other iron workers, One of the Iatter in conversation this morniog stated that the sheet men compose only 10 per cant. of the association, and to expect mine-tenths of the members to submit to a long strike for their express bencfit was unreason- able, Seccetary Weeks, of the manu- facturers association, reports no more signatures up to noon, A telegram from the Falcon Ion and Nail company denies the re- port that they had signed the scaie, The strike has not affected the coke trade to any oxtent. Shipments of the Pittsburg syndi cate during the past week have fallen off about twenty cars per day, Secratary Martin, of the Amalgamated as- sociation, this afternoon admitted that the Sheet mill rollers had been in secrot seseon He stated that after a long discus- sion n refusing {0 sccept a ten per cent reducticn was unanimouslyadopted. Mr. Martin further said that the association would stand by the Sheet will men. If it has not been the intention to do so action to exempt them from the reduction would not have been taken, ——— Squealing Canucks, Haurax, N, 8., June 4,—At » lsrgely at- tended mestivg of the Halifax chamber of commerce yesterday, a resolution was adopted demanding that the Dominion governmwent call upon the admiral of the British fleet to protect the Nova Scotian fishermen from the encroachwents of Americau fishermen, Speeches were wade in which it was declared that friendly relations vere desired with the veople of the United States, but unless the Dominion government protected them agaiust the eacroachments of Americans they would appeal to the imperial govercment,y on, speaking of the allezed meeting, | PO" recsived orders from Evpgland to rcmain at this place for the present.

They responded with a volley from their rifles, Jackson took to cover with his horse, several volleys being firod at his am- bush, Jackeon standing ground till his ammu- nition was expended, He then returned on the road to camp,and reported to Major Stewart, who with every scout, immediately left. in hot pursuit. When they reached the point of attack on Jackson, they found Indians had left, Stew- art pursued but the border probably has takeu them out of reach of attack. A lsrge num- ber of Bloods are off the reserve, moving north and east. Several small bands were seen in the vicinity of the head Cypress mountains, but are moving in the direction of the bound- ary line, The district from Cypress Hills to Lethbridgeis covered by patrol parties who will render impossible a junction of the south with the northern Indisns, Eiraso. New Mexico, June d4,— The latest news roceived here concerning the raiding Apaches comes from the neighbor- hood of Hillsboro, N. M. Fifteen armed men under the leadership of one Jackson left Hillsboro Tuesday morning, aud before noon had captured 28 horses, They contioued on the trail, which, before night became very fresh and the men concluded to go into camp and send for reinforcements, which, 120 strong, left Hillsboro at 2 o'clock yesterday to assist Jackson’s band, The Indians are ap- parently driving a large lot of captured stock, and unless they abacdon the stock and take flight Jackson is certain to overtake and at- tack them, SEEKING SOLAGE.

LEGISLATIVE HIGHWAYMEN. WORK OF €HICAGO'S G, Special Telegram to The Bxk. SprixorieLD, 1L, June 4, The house com- mittee on corporations has agreed to report favorably on a bill to repeal the charter of the Chicsgo board of trade, When President Blake was informed of the action of the committee he was comsderably surprieed. “It cannot be possible,” ho said, “that the legislature will concur in any such action. 1t 18 too prepotetrous for belief.” “You knew that such a bil had been introduced?” ““Yes, we were aware of it.” “Did you send any committee to fight it " “No. ~The question was mooted but the di- roctors knew it that was done the cry would immediately he raised that we had sent men with money down there, I think the whole thing came from the friends of bucket shops who wish to injure us, If the general public knew cur methods I am positive they would not condemn them, becanse we do » logitimate business and they would upholdus in our fight on the bucket thops, whose members_nover dle n bushel of grain. 1 can readily im- ne however, that some legislators would voto for the repeal of our charter under a misconception, but I think that a single ex- planation from such members as understood us wouid soon convinco them that we do & legitimate Eusiness. “Do you think the directors will now fight the measure?” “I can hardly say whather they will or not, for really there are some of our. members who aro in favor of doing away with the charter, for the reason that under it we can only hold $200,000 worth of private property. If we ran the board as a private business we could hold any amount we chose. 1 am in favor, personaily, however, of working under a char- ter, I cannot tell, of course, whas the legis- lature will do, for the ways of legislators are past finding out.” » Cyrus H. Adams said: “T know there was such a bill being considered, but paid no_at- tention toit. It seems positively absurd for the legislature to_interfere with_ commerc'al organizations. Such action wiuld boa_com- mentary on the 1atelligenca of our Illinois legislators. The board of trade is of more valuo to the people of the northwest than all the legislatures in that section.” s THE DAILY TUMULT, SPEAKER HAINES AGAIN EMBARRASSES THE LEGISLATURE, SPRINGFIELD, Tll,, June 4,—The civil rights’ Eill, which passed the house some time ago, passed tho senate this morning.
