FIFTEENTH yEAR. OMAHA, 'NO. 14 PILFERING GREDIT, The Demecratic Admivistration After Republican Glory. Sparks Merely Follows a Trail in the Land Grant Stesls. Cleveland feads the Riot Act to Cab- inet Members Who are Looking Ahead—Other ents, THE NATIONAL OAPITAL, AFTER REPUBLIC GLORY, Spocial Telegram to The Bre. Wasmixetoy, July mmissloner Sparks, of the general land office; is reported to be workiog out the details of a land order which will, if promulgated, create a sensation among the land grant railread officials. 1t ia nothing lees than an overthrow of the in demnity land system by the operation of which it is charged that settlers have been largely injured and railroads correspondingly benefitted. The nature of provious burean rulings, which ths commissioner proboses to modify or reacind, can be illustrated in the case of tho Atchison, Topeks & Santafee rall road, which last year was compelled upon tho appeal of the state of Kan- sas to surrender ovor %,000,000 acres of land that had been set aside for it ns an indemuity of shortage in the lands granted to that road. 1t is charged, for instance, that the lands aro upjustly withheld from sottle meet by allowing roads to file mapy and then to ecel other and moro favorable routes, Tho land over which the later maps are received may have have s large number ef settlers thersin, Many of these are throatened with oustrv on ona technicalit ~ enother. and the z0ads_claim indemnity for all losses by the acceptance of eettleme to make general in t! laid vn i It is ospecially aimed at ia the expected order, This routo in Washington territory has sev- eral times been changed and moditied, and a large number of settlers are interested in resisting the corporation’s claim to indemnity, The commissioner of the land office has put his foot down on two more things. He has refused to give clerks passes to work in the officcs at night, Ho eays “They are making a good thing out of it, and a great deal of the information given to attorneys and outsidern is perhaps such that the department should receivo pay for. They shall not any more de- vote their bast energies to making private profit out of the records of the office and half perform the duties for which they are employed by the government.” The admunistration is recsiving more credit (s, 38 nOw proj ir application the rules in the Kansa than it is entitlod to in the matter of the |3 Maxwell land grant, A land proclamation has been made by the land office to the effect that this gigantic {raud has bLeen discovered by this administration; and that procaedings have Deen instituted to recover about 2,000,000 acres of which an English syndicate hias secursd possession, and and to_ restoro it to the public domain. ' The fact is that the Maxwell land grant steal was not discovered by this admunistration, but by the last ad- ministration, and the legal proceedines whi are now pending were commenced by republi- cans, and Mr, Bentley, ex-commissioner of pensions, has been for months engsged in the collection of ovidence and in preparing to prosecuts tho guilty persons, The adminis tration finds it necessary to retain Bentley to prosecuts this case on account of his special knowledge. The credit, therefore, of the pro- ceediog against the Maxwell land grant 1s not due to Commissioner Sparks or to the Cleveland adminietration, i ans say there is no doubt that John Sherman is a candidate for the presi- dency as well as tor re-election to the senate and his notion is that the one candidacy wili aid the other but that he will need tc win the senatorship to realizo his expectations con- cerning the presidency; that failing in cne he will fail in “both. Foraker for governor is stronger than Sherman for senator, The fight will ba for the legislature. The reput- lican managers declare that the sigas are tayorable for them for a number of reasol that the party is not distracted by side issuce, and that it is going into the fight with confi. dence on general principles, Democrats who claim to know what has been going on in the cabinet eay that the president sharply called the more aggressive spoilemen of the'old school to order in the cabinet the other day, and atked them what foundation there was for the numerous re- porte, made apparently upon authority, that there was to be a clean sweep in the depart. ments on July 1. The president is reported to haye been vigorous, emphatic and blunt in his declarations, and’ to have notified the cabinet that he did not proposn to have them shape a policy for him; that ho had_outlined his policy * in repeated publications and did not intend to change it, and that he did not care to have them embarraes his administration by attemptiog to inaugurate a policy of their own, He had stated that ho should “choose his own methods for the re. moval of oflice holders, and did not intend to alter them. This story comes from a senator who claims to bave heard it from a cabinet officer. Whether it is true or not it is certain that the poogramme which has been formed in some of the departments for a clean swoop was not carried out, _ Samucl J, Tilden and his friends are very indigoant over the appointmentment of ex- Governor Noyes to bo government director of the Union Pacific railroad, on account of his connection with the eloctoral count in Florida during the Hayes-Tilden contest of 1576, “Tss fesling is not confined to Tilden and his iricads, but is very generally shared by democrats whore attention has been directed to the matter. The re port of the investigating committee hus been ressurvected and that portion of the report and the accompanying testimony which relate to (ron, Woyes' participation in the canvass of the electoral votes of Florida whils serving as a visiting statesman has bson laid betore the president, Some of the more prominast democrats confidently assert that the sppointment of Ged, Noyes will be revoked In consequence of age and constant hand ling some of the earlier execntive documents of tho senate are in a very dilapidated condi tion, To preserve these ss long as possible $he secrotary of tho senatn lins thew carcfully straightened out and fitted to parchment backs and bound in durable form, Included in theso documonts are three messsges from President Washivgton, also a message from Presidont Johu Adams, May, 1797, nominat 1% his own Jobn' Quincy Ad- ams, to by minister to Russia and also his message of July 20, 1798, non fuatiog Washington to ba lieutenant-zenera and commander-in-chief of the armies of tho Unitod States, It was at this time that our wwfant ropublic was threatened with Kuropean complications, and Washington had consented to come from his retirement at Mount Vernon and zespond to the call of his country, A doc ument of very rare character is & confidential communication sent to the senate by the house of representatives in 1863, through two of its members especially appointed for that pur- pose—Mr., Nicholion and Mr. Bayard—and which contained a copy of & bill passed by the house with closed doors providing for the conduct of negotiations with France and Spal looking to the purchase of tho *Lsland of New Orleans,” and the province of east and weat Florida.

The writer asserts that the law declares that tho secretary of the interlor haa full control of all Indisn affalrs under the laws, subject to di- rection by the preeident; that certain con- tracts may be made by Indiyiduals with In dians relative to services in procuring the pay- ments of claime, but that no anthority exists for making contracts of any other nature, and if made they are null and void; that no pur- chase, grant, leass or other conveyancs of lands or of any_ title or claim thereto from any Indian nation or tribe of Indians shall be of any validity of Jaw or equality unless tho eame shall ba mado by treaty or convention entorod into pursnsnt to the constitution; that only the United Statos can mako any contract with any Indian nation or tribe affecting lands, whathor by puzchace, loaso or ctherwise, and that the United States con do no oxly by formal ageeoment, and that the president may omploy the military to remove trespassors from the Indian lands, Gen. McCook eub stantiates the above pointa by citations from the resised statutes, and declares that tho Tnitod States can ' make agreements re specting Tudian lands only with toe Tudians thomselves and not with third parties, and only with the Indiana by agreement ratifiod by congress, Notwithstandiog tha positive biticns of the law against leasing or con co of lands by Indian tribes, substan- ths lands in_ the Indi i lusive Indian M1cCook sage. ro in the por men under leases from the Indiane, no power to lease, and with the nition of the interior department, which he believes had no power to recognize or assent 1o any such lease or posseation. ‘The tollow ing i _given a8 partiol list of the poarties in occupation of such lands in tho Cheyenne and Arapshos reservations in the Indisn Territory and the amount of land controlled by thom and embraced in ther designated coundaries: Havrrox H.

If the Tndians had partment had power toassent to them what can be snid of such conduct in tho oxecution of a public trust eupposed to be created for the pur- pose of protecting Indian rights and interests as the acquioscence in a lease of lands for a torm of years atarental which is nothing more than nominal? 1s that the way the gov- ernment of the United States should care for its wards? If euch leases wero legal, if au- thority existed to make them, they would still be obtaining from the Indian’ ward, with the assent of their gaardian, valuablo property rights and privileges for' a pittance. If the legality of the leases wero doubtful they should not be permitted. Cotinuing his ar- gument, declaring the illegality of the leases, Gian, MoCook writes: “Both under common law and the enact menta of congress all parties other than In. dians occupying these lands are trospassers. ‘The intention of the luw, sotting apart this domain, was that it should be enjoyed by the Tndians for the purpose of making thom civil- iz0d homes, encouraging thom in the habits of industry and elevating and improving their coudition. Tho actual facts now are that in- stead of the Indians possessing and enjoying the benefits designed for them their country is over run with epeculators and adventurers of every degree, who huve de- spoiled them of their property and practically stquestrated their ~ birth- rights, destroyng their opportunities of self support and leaving them nothing for the future whilo keeping them dependent, These men who for the last three years have enjoyed overt protection and coldly insisted upon official recognition of their cla'ms are in many instances foreigners who owe no allegiance to this government, and in all cases evade every duty and obligation which the laws impose upon American citizens, ‘“This part of Indian country to which I have called your attention is a country whers fo 3 reigos aud rapine dwells; where un- scrupulous men ask the support of the goveru. ment ond army of the United States to protect them in violating the law and avoiding any responsibility for their acts. Theee mon are apparently the reprasentatives of great official and financlal influence and seem to have behind them an autocratic cle- ment mysterious as it is powerful, which ban- ishes from the face of tho land, they now hold every American citizan who 1s not with them®as trespassers. Their representations t0 your department are not the prayers of the weak np}wullug for protection but the de- mands of the strong who from a rips exper- ience evidently believe that the future and the past will be the same,” ———— The Towa IRegatt; Cepar Rarivs, Ia, July 4,—The Cedar river amateur regatta here this afternoon was an unlooked-for success in the attendance and interest shown, The first race—for n 8200 cud—four-oared shell, between Cedar Rapids crew No, 1 and Ottumwa, mile and a half with turn, was won by Cedar Rapide, Time, 9:50, L, Largon, of McGregor, won the #lu. gle scull raze over W, O, Laneom, of Bur- lington, Time, 11:36}, The second four onred rnce, between the Des Moines and Ce- dar lllflxldu seconds, was won by Cedar Rap- ids, Time, 1 The champion single seull race, between G, P, Donahue, of Davenport, and 8, R, Turn Mclirevor, was won by Turger, Time, 10:54, The third four-oared race, between the Sylvas, of Moline, and the third Cedar Rapids crew, was won by Mo- line, Time, 10:50, e ——— Stole & March on Patriots, ABEBDEEN, Dakota, July 4,—Considerable excitement was caused here this morning by Superintendent Kellie of the Milwaukee rail- way coming in with 150 men to replace across Main street the obstructions which were ro moved by the city authorities last Wednesday, The local military company had, however, gone to Redrield for the purpose of celebrating ' LIBERTY'S VOICE, Fifty Miliion Peopls Remember It First Grazd Call, Mormons Insult Its Day and Dis- honor the Flag It Created, Cleveland Corrects a Tammany Im- presslon~Tho Usual Number of Distressing Accidents, THE GLORIOUS FOURTH, FREE FOR 109 YEARS, S8art Lagg, Utah, July 4. —When the sun rose this morning the national flag hung at half- mast on the city halll, county court house, Desert Nows office, Mormon tabernacle, office of John Taylor, residences of Mormone, church offices, and the Salt Lake theatre, The flag at the last named buildiog was put up at full mast ns a8 soon as Manager Roesi ter saw it, but those on the osher bnildings huog limp ogainst their masts. No one conld be tound to explain it. About noon United States Marshal Ireland, O, L. Haines, Maj. Wilkes, Capt. Tivans, the two last ex-confed- ates, went to the city hall and demanded that the flag bo ralsed to fall mast, Meeting witha denial Evans started to raise it bimself, Tho door was ehut and locked by the pouce, who, with pistols and clubs, made a rush for Kvans, but quiet was restored by the United States marshal. The city cflicials said the 4th of July was a_day of mourning to them and ‘‘this people,” whose best men were in the penitentiary by acts of officials subversive of all principles of law and liberty, Thoy inti- mated that any man who undertook to dis turb the flag at balf-mast would bo shot. A committee of citizens then went into the street where a crowd had gathered, some of whom wanted to raise the flag at all hazarde, but were warned by the police not to attempt it on the pain of being ““dropped.” In a pri- wvate consultation with United Si Marehal Ireland, the aity marshal consented to either raise the flag at f ull mast or take it down within thirty minutee, The cith marshal then cousulted with Meyor Sharp, who was attending a Mormon priest- hood meetivg, and within thirty minutes the flag was ran down amid the jeors of the city efficials, A grand army of the rapublic post, celehrating near the city, were informed of the aifficulty and came in after the passing of resolutions to run the flaga in their proper places, They met a crowd of angry citizens, and the crowd wanted to go and by torce put the flags where they balonged, but the coun- sel of Gov, Murray prevailed. Finally a committee of five was sent to ees the mayor, and a few minutes later the flag at the city hall was sent up to masthead. Tho citizens’ committee mads the same demand on Sheriff Grassbeck, and he hoisted the flag at the county court house from half to full mast without demurring. The others were not touched and still remain at half-mast: New Youk, July 4 —Tammany cslobrated the day by gathering at Tammany Hall where speeches were made by prominent Lraves, Among the letters read was the following: “WASHINGTON, July 4.—To the Hov, P. Heory Dugro, Grand Sachem, Dear Sir: beg léave to acknowledge the receipt of your invitation to join the society of Tammany in its ninety-seventh celebration of the Fourth of July, the birthday of the republic, I re gret that the pressure of official uties and engagements prevent the acceptance of this kind invitation, “Of the purposes sought to be accompliched Dy the people in their choice of & chief magis- trate, recsntly referred to in your note of invitation, I am seriously mindful.

GEN, GRANT'S LAST DAJ HOW TRE HERO AND HIS FAMILY LIVE—JES, GRANT'S INCOME, Special Telegram to The Brk, New Yok, July b.—(ien, Grant's city residence and his cottage at Long Branch have both been offered for sale though there seems to be no disposition to sacrifice them, the prices demanded being up t their value, The understanding is that the general, know ing that half his present income—that arising from his place on the army retired list—will stop at his death leaving as a certainty to his widow the product of the endowment fund only, he is anxious to unload the real estate by converting it into a safe ylelding invest ment. In this matter his counsellor is ex-Senator Chaffee, whose advice as to the Ward business had it been promptly foliowed would have saved most of the money lost therein, The plan of Mrs, Grant is to rotite into gome quiet home after the death of her husband, while the other miembers of the family will scattor, The reliance of Grant on the profits of his book for hin widow's henefit has frequently been published, Another eource of income has been developed, aud in this, as in the his tory, Mark Twsin is a business partner, The tust made by the eculptor Gethmdt sincs Grant's illness, and so lavishly praised by Charles Dudley Warner, the Hartford friend and sometime literary co-laborer of Twain, is beiog duplicated in bronze and terea cotts 1n reducad eizes, and salesmen will soon bo sent throughout the Innd with it, Thiscanvassing will be done during the cummer before the book agenta go out to any groat extent, Grant did not at firs like to have his bust put out in that manner, but the counsel of his | wifo provailed. She Ia a woman of far greater force and pocency in her family than is gener ally known, Tha bust venture is herown sfiuir in connection with Twain. There ars rumors direct from Mount Me Grogor of a slight abraslon between Mrs, Grant and tho owners of that resort. The offer of sccommodation was on the basis of olad gratuity. Banker Drexel, o heavy ehare holder, gave up his private cottage and the meals and service are from the hotel. The aim was to advertise Mount McGregor, which is a beautiful _but heretofore little known re sort. Placards and hand bills_have beon widely distributed in Saratoga and elsewhere, announcing excursions over the compiny’s railrond to the top of the mountain, and con- tuining the name of Grant to catch the eye, irs, Girant is_greatly annoyed by the staring of visitors, The general long ago becamo used to such impertinence and sits daily on the verandah stcically enduring it in per foct silence, But his wife frequently seeka to have them driven off, as do the other ladies of the household, but ths management naturally do mot wish to shut out the sight for which the tourists come, and they decline to do more than to prevent actual in- trusion upon the immediate premises, All the Grants except Buck, who is farming in Now Jersey, are daily grouped on the veran- dah, and fight-scers can approach close enongh to be a decided nuisance to them. They have been photographed re- peatedly by smateurs and professionals, using instantaneous apparatus, The hero himsclf sits most of tha time staring into vacancy, oblivious yf his surroundings; bu now and then & moy, aent among the epecta- tors rouses him, andnen he will often lifs his hat in acknowledginunt of a ealutation, The sentinel who has been mentioned as on guard sgainst intruders is of littlo use, He is o comical old crank. It is 80 easy to got past him that patent mec” inn mon and peddlars hava gatned access to the house. A burial place for Grant has not been so- lected. A discussion of topic is distasteful to the family and he General himself has said nothing about i, Thero is a boautiful cemetery called Oakwood in Troy about thir- ty miles from Mount McGregor, and the trustees have resolved to offer a statement contained in your note that the administration should so "discharge all its fanctions as to merit not only the approbation of the people bt at the same time to insure a harmonious party united in Jefforsonian democracy meets my approval, although my conception of the true purposes and the mission of my party convinces me that if the present administra- tion merits the intelligent spproval of the people this result of itseif cortainly should in- sure a harmonious rarty united in Jefferso- nian_democracy, *‘While the coming celebration will revive and keep alive the memory of patriotic devo- tion and sacrifice for the sake of froe institu- tions, no occasion is more propitious for a re- newal of our pledges to a true and progrossive democracy 80 essential to our country’s safety and prosperity, Yours very truly, GrOVER CLEVELAND,” Des Moixgs, Ia,, July 4.—The seventh district roldiers’ association, in camp at Adel, to-day eent the following dispateh to Gen.

I, Caee, the present owner. “The sum paid for him did not exceed $500, It was not until sometimo subsequent that he gave evidence of attaning great speed, His first education was given at agricultural fair races in Illinois, and his first noted racy, and one in which he did eome excellent trotting, was at the Cloveland driving park in . He was brought to the park early in the season and keyed up for his debut on July 5, going agsinst Hotepur Girl;Nettie R., May Bird, Index and Mambrino Clay, winning the 1 beats of five mile race in 2.8} s mile 1 wa that time the best ever made in an igitial race. Soon after this race he was taken & Flestwood park, in Now York, and there he met Majolica. 'Both horses were then jost beginniug to attract attention, and when the arrangements were petfected to have the new candidates for turf honors meet on Fleetwood course the opinion prevailed that Phallas would s an easy wioner, Heavy odds in_fa- vor of Phallas marked the betting, but Ma- jolica was in fine condition and gave the country a surpriss by leading 1a the race, with o best mile in 2:173.” Later, in Chicago, the two horses met again, The race occurred in that city Jaly 19 for a best three out of five, The betting was extrayagantly in favor of Ma. jolica. But this mesting had another surprise in store, for Phallas casily turned the tide of victory, winning the last three heats in 2,164, 2,20 and 2,20}, This race ended the strife botween these two famous horses, After his victory over Majclica, Phallas was brought to the Cleveland” park and trotted with Duquesne aud Index, taking tho last threo miles in 2,17}, 2,214 and 2.174: At that time the record of 2,15} had never been beaten, except by Smuggler, who had a record of 215, Early in the season of 1884 he was again brought to the Cleveland park to bs tutored for tha course, and his first race of that season was with Clemmie G. and tbree others in Chicago, Phallas bore away the honors of the occasion with a time of 213} for the fourth heat. The remainder of the seascn he spent on an exhibition tour, but did not lowar his record, Maxey Cobb is a handsomely built bay with white hind ankles, Few horses on the tmf have such symmetry of form as the stallion champion, He is sixtoen hancs in height. He was ¢ired by Happy Medium and his dam was Faony Jeuninge, by Prince Nebo, He was foaled in Philadelphia, but when quite young was sold for a_small sum and shipped to Nebraska, where he was given his first schooling for the turf, Later he did some rural racing on the tracks of that state, but showed no potable speed until the spring of 1883, when he was brought to the Cloveland park and underwent preparations for the campaign. The first race in which he figured cam off at the Cleveland park, July 1. field of clovon horses were competing.

The porsistency of the diseaso at Valencia is a notable foature, as by all rules murcia is the better ground of tho two for the pest. Tittle is known hera of tho merits of the King's visit, butin the lino of thestate- ment made a fortnight ago it is believed that the whole ministe objections and resigna tions and the King's incognitio escaped, are a grand bluff to strengthen the dynastic feel- ing and checkmato the democrats who have lately been gaining ground. A Marceilles dispatch says that there is no a tbere, but that the troops at Pay do ore, Beziere, Careasson, Avignon, Tou- lon and Margeliles are bemg decimated by a virulont typhus, with choleraio symptoms. The doctors aro puzzled and apprehensive that the thing is either a forerunner of or may eud- denly dsvelopo into malignant cholera, Stren- nous efforts aro being mada to jsolate tho eoldiers and prevent a spread of the disease, A correspondent has just roturned from a four days’ stay in Murica, which has been for the last two weoks the most terribly cholora stricken city of Spain. Muriea city, accord- g to the last census, has a population of nearly 40,000, and the suburbs 69,000 more, Thirty thousand pereons have fled from the i i out and itsstreets 3 Lighty per cent of 1ta stores are closed and hardly a houso remsins in which a cholera case has not occurred, The yellow covered stretcher on which the cholera stricken sick and dead ave carried through the streets is one of the commonest eights, Deaths have become go frequent that the toll- ing of the church bells, usual thera on such events, has been forbidden. The cholera has attacked 3,217 poasons in twenty-four days and of theso 1,360 bodies have been already buried, O the full nomral popula— tion of nearly 100,000 people, oune perzon im thirty has alroady had the cholera, and one porson in each seventy-five of the population has been buried within three weeks. Under the most favorablo conditions 1,000 more ?o']\(hs aro expectad by physicians before fall. Startling incidents abound ia such a city, A vilo smell came from one of the many closed houses, By order of the authorities the doors were forced, and then the rotting bodies of ita inhabitants were found, They had apparently died of malignant cholera after closing the house, and so suddenly that they had been unable to_eummon aid. It is thought the cholera will extend throughout a greater por-— tion of Spain, It may last uantil late in the fall, and 1t is not improbable that cholera cases may occur next year. Tha diseaso seems to follow the course of the river. It spreads always below the place first infected, Thus the head waters of the ‘Tagus are being now infected. The cholera may be expected to pass all quarantines and enter Portugal, Cholesn spreads rapidly with great violence along the course of a river, By land its spread is more uncertain and slow, depending largely upon personal con- tact between Lfia inhabitants of neighboring towns, A man of average health, not given to excesses, using only boiled water for even such purposes as crushing the teeth. who eats no green uncooked food need not fear cholerain the least. Anything which reduces vitality aven temporarily may at once lead to cholora, ‘Women have more to fear from cholera than men do, but with proper precautions there is little danger, Extreme fear of the disease often leads to anattack of cholera, Dr, Ferran's inoculation will not play an im- portant part in this epidemic however great ita part may bs in the next one. Cholera germs live for an uncertain period, They are known to live for months and yet rotain suf- ficient vitality to cause cholera in persons ex- posed to them, Great care regardine infected letters and clotbing is therefore necossary, Valencia oranges aud Malaga raising of this year's crop may carry cholera germs to cone sumers, even in distant countries, They ara therefore among the things not to eat, AMERICANIZED, METHOD AND LUSULT OF THE LRITISH CAM- PAIGN, LoNDON, July 4,—The results of the pra- liminary election which took place during the past week to fill the vacancies caused by the change in the ministry, have rather alarmed the liberals, They were beginning to feel sure of the easy victory in th coming general olection, but have no_more than held their own in the special pollings, sud bave mot in- creased their majorities in such hotly contest- ed boroughs as Wakefield and Woodstock. Liberal eloction agents in many precincts bave sent in discouraging reports about the. outlook. They say the agricultural votes are falling away from the liberal interost and that laborers appear indifferent about taking advantsge of the ngland Franchise, theso agents further declaro that in them rural regions of England both agricultural laborers and workingmen this year especially are under the influence or control of local equires and parsons. This is accounted for by the fact that times have for a long period past been unusually hard and that these class of voters are under more ordinary obligations to their employers and patrons, the equires parsons, farmers and local officials, nearly all of whom sre consorvatives, and with bright party prospects before them are exrting all their influenca to rotain coutrol of Bribish political affairs, A fecond FPerjden Affair Promised, LoxvoN, July 5 —Advices from St. Peters- burg say that the Russians in front of Mur- ghob state that the Afghans ore raising troops onthe frontier, The Russians are of the opinion that the Ameer intends to avenge the Penjdeh defeat, The Sariks are also ¢x- cited by the Afghan movement which seoms likely to end in Russian interference should the Afghani ain go the lenghof justifying the Russians in taking notice of ticis insolent challenge, R—— Sunday kunerais, Chrlstian Olson, the Dane who died at St. Josephs hospital last Tuesday, was burled yesterday afternoon by the Danish brotherhood, of which order he was & member, The processlon was headed by a band.
