WEST MAKES HIS DEFENSE| Bensational Incident of Oleveland's Second Campaign Revived. REMAINED SILENT FOR SEVEN YEARS Criticines the Amer! cnn People and Publie M and Expresses Indig- nation that Engla Should Thereafter Recelve Bayard, NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—A the World from London says: “An extraordinary, and in many respects unprecedented publication by a British or any other high diplomat, has been discussed dur- ing the past few days among the foreign representatives to the court of St. James This is a handsomely printed pamphlet marked, “For Private Circulation Only and entitled. “My Mission to the United States, '$1-89," and has just been issued by Lord Sackville, who as Sir Lionel Sackville West, K. C. M. G., was the to Washington for the period named. It will be remembered that President Cleveland, almost on the eve of election of 1888, sent SIr Lionel his passports because of a letter written by him to an alleged Englishman in California, commenting upon the approaching election. This pamphlet Is Lord Sackville's defense and explanation made several years after that incident. But the unprecedented part of it, and the part which has aroused very excited comment, is, first, the freedom of his strictures upon the American people and American public men, and second, his own expressed indignation’ that the British miristry should have accepted Mr. Bayard as ambassador to this country while as sec- retary of state of the United States Mr. Bay- ard had wantonly insulted in person its ac- credited representative. SENT TO A CHOSEN FEW “The phamphlet consists of fifty-two pages, 15,000 words, and is of very limited issue, not more than 100 copies. These have been #ent under seal only to leading foreign dip- plomats, the higher English officlals, and a few personal friends, “Chester A. Arthur was president and James G. Blaine secretary of state when Lord Sackville came to New York In November, 1881. At a reception given him by St George's soclety, he says that Mr. Blaine was ®ent to greet him by President Arthur and ho made a most cordial address of welcome, In it he referred to “The loyalty of the Ame tean people and their admiration for that graclous soverelgn, 1is royal mistress.’ Lord Sackville notes also his very cordial recep- tion by the president himself, but remarks ‘That while Mr. Blaine was using this con- ciliatory language he was carrylng on a hostile controversy with her majesty’s gov- ernment respecting the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.’ ““He says he entered upon his duties with great solicitude. 1 was well aware of the difficulties 1 should have to contend with in combatting the influence of the Fenlan or- ganization, exercised over the government, and which was so powerful in both houses of the legisiature.’ PRESIDENT EMBARRASSED. “Lord Sackville quotes a private letter he wrote to Lord Granville, then foreign min- fster, in April, 1892, in regard, apparentl, to a demand or request made by Secretary Fre- linghuysen for the immediate release of cer- tain Trish sushects, Tn this letter Lord Sack- ville distinctly &Tates that Assistant Secre- tary Bancroft Davis represented to him that the president felt embarrassed by the action of congress in the matter and ‘that he, the president, trusted to the courtesy of her ma- Jesty's government In enabling him to avert it.” " He says he told Secretary Davis that ‘he must remember there was a public opinion In England, as well as a press, neither of which were likely to be convinced of the necessity of a concession to the United States government on this question, simply because congress was terrorized by the Irlsh voters.’ “Davis frankly admitted this and said that the president himself appealed to her ma- Jesty's government in the present case, “Lord Sackville here deliberately states that Lord Granville, upon representations of Lord Spencer, then lord lieutenant of Ire- land and lately in Lord Rosebery's cabinet, telegraphed stat the first assistant secretary of saying that his (Lord Sackville's) life 2nglish minister | Trish vote is slipping out of our hands be- | cause of the diplomatic shilly-shallying? See Lamont (the president’s private _secretary and chief wirepuller) at once, Something ought to be dono today." RECEIVED HIS PASSPORTS. ““Accordingly he recelved his passports that atternoon, “Lord Sackville quotes a statement he made to Lord Sallsbury acousing Secretary Bayard of flagrant misstatements of facts and of ‘duplicity. He refers to President Cleve- land in biiter terms and adds: ‘There s no base action which an American politician will not. resort to In order to gain an election.’ He quotes another dispatch from Mr. Herbert to Lord Salisbury, in which the author of the Murchison letter, one Osgoodly, was rec- ommended to President Harrison in a letter from two California republicans, one bearing the historic name of Harrison Gray Otls and the other Judge W. F. Fitzgerald, telling the story of Osgoodly’s fraud and claiming for him the credit and recognition which was fairly due him for his remarkable achieve- ment, “Lord Sackville gives credit for the publi- cation to ‘one Quay, a senator and chiet of | republican wire pullers, to whom his (Lord Sackvillo's) letter was sent by the California politicians.’ “Lord Sackyille says: Mr. Bayard remained in obscurity for four years until the re-elec- tlon of Mr. Cleveland, when he was appointed | amb lor to London as a recognition, it maey be presumed, of his remarkable achieve- ment. The perpetrator of these degrading | acts of political trickery emerged from the | political mire a social success and meets those upon whom he so mercilessly trampled | with a smiling countenance.” Lord Sackville sald that two justices of the supreme court, since dead, spoke In the strongest condemnation of President Cleve- land's uction toward him. He quotes a letter in full from a manager of a dime museum in New York offering him $2,000 per week and expenses for himself and suite if he would hold two levees daily of two hours in “my palatial museum.” It is unnecessary,” adds Lord Sackville, “for me to comment further upon the polit- fcal degrad which avowedly exists in | the United States, nor upon the difficulties | which a British minister has to contend with | in maintaining amicable relations with a government, influenced by the political necos- sity of the moment and whose action Is con- trolled by a faction hostile to his own coun- try.” FATAL o NEMENT HOUSE TR, One Peri Killed ntally Injure ATI, Oct. 9.—At 12:30 a. m. this arm called the fire department to the five story brick tenement at 21 West Sixth street, in which were sleeping forty tenants. The flames were in the third, fourth and fifth stories. Women and children were screaming piteously at the windows. All the police patrol wagons were quickly on the scene and the work of rescue begun. Thomas O'Flaherty, a_deaf man, more dead than | alive with suffocation, jumped from a fourth story window into a net held by the police without further injury. At 1:15 bodies were taken from the fourth and fifth stories by the firemen on their lad- ders. Mrs, Mary Holmes, aged 80, was dead; her daughter, Miss B. J. Pendery, an actress known as May Edwards of New York, was taken out unconscious from suffocation, but not rerlously injured. The fatally injured are: RACHEL DAVIS, aged 4. MAMIE PONSO, aged 19, MRS, WILLIAM A. DAVIS, all dreadfully burned. The less injured are: Julia Davis, nervous shock and exposure; Ida Minkowsky and Miss Theresa Lang. All aro of this city except those otherwise designated. Mamie Ponso and Rachel Davis are not likely to live till morning. It is be- leved that all the others; except losing their household goods, escaped with little or no injury, How tho fire started is not known. The revised list make: one dead, two cer- tainly fatally injured and one very seriously injured. All the seriously injured were by burning, together with suffocation. i beiss Paint and Varnish Men in Scxsion. CHICAGO, Oct. 8.—The annual convention of paint and varnish men opened today at the Auditorfum. There were delegates pres- ent representing the local clubs of New York, Philadelphia, St. Louls, Cleveland, Detrolt, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Kansas City, Mil- a r Others CINCINN. morning an Omaha, Boston, Pittsburg, San Francisco and Chicago. The national body differs from other trade organizations in that it does not consider prices or territory. Its main objsct is to secure national legislation. The leading purpose has been to secure a department of trade and commerce in the in danger and asking for protection. Secretary Frelinghuysen, he says, declined to take a step officially, but sent him to Gen- eral Sherman. The latter invited him to a trip in ‘the president’s yacht.” All prepara- tlons were made In secret and they spent ten days cruising in the James river, after which ‘it was deemed that the excitement caused by the Irish executions had abated.” INSTRUCTIONS WERE WITHDRAWN. “He says danger again became imminent when he was instructed to demand the ex- tradition of Patrick Sheridan for complicity in the Phoenix park murders. He felt that such a demand would be hopeless and so re- ported to Lord Granville, and then the in- structions wero revoked. A presidential elec- tion was approaching and Mr. Blaine was likely to be the republican candidate, “It was at this time that Mr. Blaine spoke to me in the most condemnatory tones of the conduct of her majesty's government In deal- 1ng with the Irish question. They had cre- atod such a hostile feeling in the United States that he felt convinced if the popula- tion was polled there would be an almost unanimous expression of hatred toward Eng- land. This language clearly indicated his in- tention to trade upon this hostility to England in order to gain the Irish vote for Lis clec- tion.” “He mnotes Mr. Blaine’s defeat with not greatly repressed exultation, and says he looked hopelessly to the new democratic administration and Mr. Bayard. The latter, he pays, depre- cated to him ‘the influence which the Irish party had obtained in the constituencies, and expressed himself as determined not to allow his action to be dictated by it." “Lord Sackville then reviews at length the negotiations over the Bering sea question and asserts that neither England or the Dominion could get justice, because the government dared not interfere with the Alaska Fur com pany, which corporation was rich and Influ- ential in both houses of congress. “Lord Sackville quotes a conversation with Me. Bayard, of which he made a minute at the time, in ' which the latter said: ‘The Irish vote had become a great factor in American pelitics, and he might tell me that the word British prefixed to any political or commer- clal question was sufficient to create enmity toward England.’ ADMITS IT WAS INCAUTIOUS. “Lord Sackyllle treats of events prior to Mr. Cleveland’s renomination in 1888: ‘It was necessary for him to show himself more anti- English than his opponents.’ He then quotes the Murchison letter and his reply, which he refers to as ‘Incautious,’ both of which to his amazement were published in the ew York Tribune, an crgan of the republican party, on QOctober 2, 1888 He learned from private sources that no such person as Murchison existed, The excitement over the Sackville incl- dent, as it was called, became farcical. He was caricatured. He saw Mr. Bayard four ays before election and the secretary ‘cor- dially accepted my expression of regret at what has occurred.’ “When, however, I saw Mr. Bayard the following day le sald the matter had hecome serious. Great interests depended upon the re-clection of Mr. Cleveland; he could not ignoro the Injurious effect which my letter had had upon a certain faction, the vote of which was uecessary for the demoeratic can- didate. He saw a copy of a telegram from the State department to Minister Phelps, ac cusiug him of ‘political cowardice.' He took this offensive telegram to Mr. Bayard, say- Ing he considered it & personal {nsult. Mr. Dayard was ‘embarrassed and confused, and at last sald that he kuew nothing of any such telegram having been sent.’ “He was furnished with a copy of the fol- lowlug telegram recelved by a member of the cabinet from the natlonsl committee in New York: ‘Does the president know that the | deliberations were harmoalous. president’s cabinet, It has committees on 1-cent postage, freight classification and the development of the linseed oil interests, The sessions will contiaue until Thursday. didat i i slide to the Democrats, INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 8.—~The municipal election in this city today was a democratic landslide. Tha entire democratic ticket s elected by majoritles approximating 5,000, This is regarded as remarkable, in view of the fact that a republican was elected two years ago by a majority of over 3,000. The Tepublicans concede’ the election of the dem- ocratic ticket by a largs majority. Those elected are: Thomas Taggart, mayor; Charles Cox, police judge; Charles Stuckmeyer, city clerk. Six councilmen at large are elccted by the democrats and at this time the demo- crats claln seventeen of ghe ward council- men, giving the latter thirtcen out of twenty- one ‘councilmen.

FRANCE TAKES MADAGASCAR| Hova Forces Completely Routed and Dis- persed by the Troops, GREAT REJOICING AMONG PARISIANS Axe the Capital of the Island Kingdom ed While linister and the € for Their Lives. PARIS, Oct. 8.—A dispatch recelved from Port Luis, Island of Mauritius, late this| morning announced the capture of Antan- anarivo, capital of the Island of Madagascar, | by the French troops, and caused great re- lief to the government, as it has been recog- nized for some time past that the defeat of tho French troops meant a change of mints- try. The news quickly spread throughout the city, causing great excitement and much re- jolcing. rance and Madagascar have been at log- gerheads for more than ten years, chiefly over the right of the government of Mada- | r to act independently of the French dents in grantiLg exequaturs to foreign lar agents. According tg the treaty of December 28, 1885, the French minister resi- dent and a mililary guard of French troops were to resida at the capital and control the foreign relations of Madagascar, making the | island, to all intents and purposes, a French protectorate. The government of Madagascar has all along denied that the treaty gave France the rights she claimed, holding that M. le Minre | do Villiers, the French diplomatic agent, in 1887, entered into an engagement with Mada- gascar, on behalf of France, to the effect that the exequaturs of consuls and consular ven in the future as in the | past, by the queen of Madagascar, and that the latter treaty did not change the situa- tion. Roughly speaking on this question is based the dispute which led to disturbances, during which the representatives of the French gov- ernment were nsulted by the populace and slighted by the government of Madagascar In addition a number of Frenchmen wers assassinated, In September, 1894, matters finally reached such a state that M. le Minre de Villlers was sent to Madagascar with an ultimatum from the French government insisting that France should control the foreign relations of Mada- gascar, The ultimatum was delivered to the prime minister, Pamilaiairivony, who Is also the husband of the queen, Ramavalona IL After several days of deliberation the prime minister rejected the ultimatum, saying that Madagascar would only submit to superior force. M. de Villilers and all the French agents thereupon returned to Tamatave and France began making preparations to bring the Hovas, the predominant tribe of the is- land, to terms. In November last the French minister for foreign affairs, M. Hanotaux, asked for a credit of €5.000,000 francs and 15,000 men for an expedition to Madagascar, and his request was promptly granted. The expedition, which was planned by Gen- eral Borgnis-Desbordes, left France in Jan- vary under command of General Duchesne. The insalubrity of the climate has provad a more dangerous foe to the invaders than the natives, and the capture of the Mala- gassy capital has been accomplished at great cost of life and health. Inquiries made at the War office here this afternoon regarding the reported capture of Antanarivo show that, while the news is cred- ited there, no particulars have been received, and it is expected that the report will be of- ficlally confirmed before Friday next, Oct- ober 11, LONDON, Oct. 9.—The Times this morning says the capture of Antanarivo really alters nothing. It is an achievement, but not a success. Having marched up the hill, General Duchesne has the option of staying at the top or marching down again, and these al- ternatives are equally Inglorious and unsani- tary. The Hova government and court have vanished into the backwoods, while there is hardly a trace of administration in the Eu- ropean sense. The French will have to con- struct e thing from the foundations with the poorest and most worthless materials, and it may be questioned whether this is worth doing. . The Standard_expresses the hope that the victory of the French may be followed with prudence, vigor and moderation, 8, QUIETER rkish Officials Planting More Tor- n the Dardanelles.

Later, however, the patrols of this city were strengthened by additional forces of infantry and cavalry. The sultan has twice sent Artin Pasha to the patriarchate in order to co-operate with the patriarch in the latter's efforts to induce the Armenians who have sought refuge in the churches to return to their homes. All efforts in this direction, however, have proved futile, the Armenians declaring that they have no confidence In the promises of protection made by the Turkish government.

Spanish Steamer Makes a SHght Mix- take In Guy Practice. HAVANA, Oct. S.—Dispatches received here from Santlago de Cuba say that the gov- ernment cruiser Alledo has been firing at bands of insurgents ashore In the neighbor- hood of Cape Maysi, at the eastern extremity of the island of Cuba, and it Is added that on September 26 the crulser, while so engaged, stopped a steamer, belleved to be tha Alene, which left New York on September 21 for Kingston, Savanilla and Carthagena. The Alene belongs to the Atlas line, and was fly- ing the British flag. The firing caused her to stop under the impression, it is presumed, that she was belng fired upon, but not re- ceiving any orders from the eruiser and see- ing that the latter was firlng toward the land, she continued on her course, apparently heading for Jamalca. The Associated press dispatch giving the first news of the stopping of the Alene was 1 by the authorities here. The Spanish court in Modico has notified the Spanish government that It has placed 500 mules at its disposal for use during the military cperations against the insurgents of this fsland. A curious maritime disaster Is roported from Malas Aguas, near the Colorado reefs, upon which the Cristobal Colon recently met with disaster, and where other disasters to shipping have recently occurred.

HOUSE OF DEPUTIES FAILS Ohanges Sought in the Constitution Do Not Meet with Favor, HAVE NOT ABANDONED THE EFFORT Commissio ers Will Puxh Two Propo- ftions, One Looking to the Divi on of Diocesnn Territory— Other Work of the Council, MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 8.—The reluctance of the house of deputies of the Episcopalian convention to alter the report of the consti- tutional review commission appeared again today, when two commissioners reported against the proposed amendment. One ad- vised against pluralizing the word constitu- tion all through the document and the other disapproved of the proposal to give dioceses under certain conditions the, right to cede parts of their territory and erect therein mis- sfonary jurisdictions. The latter proposition, introduced by Judge Fairbanks of Florida, will be pushed nevertheless. Rev. Samuel Hart, custodian of the prayer book, presented a long report on the print- ing of the new edition from the standard re- cently approved. The invitation of New Orleans for the next convention, presented by H. D. Forsythe, made the fourth one received. Two message were reczived from the house of bishops. The first recommended the use of the word constitutions in the plural iu the title of the evised document. This was concurred in, 83 to 13, with seven divided. The second message took up subsequent sections. The recommendation that the word convention be retained instead of proposed synod was nega- tived by the deputies. In the house of bishops a favorable com- mittee report was made on the proposals for the division of the dioceses of Maryland, Ken- tucky and California. A resolution separat- ing the missionary jurisdiction of Wyoming and Idaho into two jurisdictions was referred. A committee was named to report suit- able action on the Armenian atrocities. Tho joint committee of five bishops and five presbyters, appointed at the last conven- tion to report upon such changes in the revised version of the bible as might be rec- ommended for adoption, reported that the convention labors under a misapprehension as to secular work having been undertaken in England and was discharged at its own re- quest. It was decided, however, with the concurrence of the deputies, to name another commission to undertake the work inde- pendently of the Church of England. Con- stitutional revision was then taken up. The house decided by 36 to 37 in favor of the term “'bishop coadjutors,’” instead of “‘as- sistant bishops.” The house of delegates this afternoon had a warm debate over the question of adopting the term of primate as the title of the senior member of the house of bishops. A message had been received from the house of bishops announcing the adoption of section 2 of ar- ticlo 1 of the revised constitution with the word primate and the question being on the matter of concurring with the house of bish- ops, Gecrge C. Thomas of Philadelphia of- fered an amendment changing the word pri- mate to presiding bishop. This was what started the debate and before It was over most of the leaders had participated in it, with all the earnestness and eloquence for which they are noted. Dr. Greer of New York, Dr. Parker of Massachusetts, George C. Thomas, Dr. McKim of Washington and Dr. Elliott of Maryland all spoke for the amend- ment and appealed to the deputies not to make such a radlcal change. They wanted simplicity and in particular did not want names which might indicate that the church had taken a step toward a hierachy. On the other side were Dr. Huntington of New York, one of the most powerful speakers in_the conventlon; Dr. Green of Iowa, who believed the people wanted new terms; Dr. Carey and others, It way the most Interesting meeting the deputies have had and the interest in the final vote was intense. The Thomas amend- ment was lost, receiving 152 votes, while the opposition mustered 162 votes. The word “primate’ may be the cbject of another at- tack tomorrow, but it looks as if it would finally be adopted. The deputies concurred with the house of bishops relative to the rights in the conven- tion of resigned bishops. The house of bish- ops gave them the right to vote, and al- though some of the deputies were in favor of taking away this privilege the action of the bishops was finally concurred in. The com- mittee on location of the next conference re- ported in favor of Boston. INDIANS DID KILL SMITH.

Notwithstanding that falr week was characterized with per- fect weather, unprecedented crowds and ex hibits, the state fair board’ has falled to pay out by about $2,000. This, In the face of the fact that hundreds of people were induced to make exhibits on the promise that all premiums would be pald at once, places the board in a bad light and particularly the city, which also made promises. In view of this the local committee has undertaken to dis- cover the reason for not paylng out. An auditing committee was appointed by the city council and a demand was made on the state board to show the vouchers for all money paid out. The auditing committee has com- pleted fts work and reports that the board appropriated to its own members $3,208.55 of which a large amount 1s taken in direct defiance of law, which says the members shall receive no compensation for their services save mileage of 10 cents per mile one way and actual expenses. The auditing commit- tee has found that about $2 600 has be*n spent in excess of what was necessary. The mem- bers of the board on the day following the fair drew their ertravagant pay and de parted for their respective homes without straightening up the afairs of the state fair and made no arrangement for the payment of the premiums promised. Had this amount remained where it belonged there would have been no question about paying all of the premiums. Now the premium winners will not_get over 25 per cent of what should be pald to them. The board reports receiving $350 for gam- bling privileges. It is well known that one man In this city offered in writing $500 for the exclusive privilege of running one sort of a game. This was refused on the plea that the state law would be observed and no gambling allowed. When the state fair gat were opened there were about fifty ‘“sur thing” games running. oms WASHINGTON, Oct. 8,.—The Treasury de- partment is trying to devise some plan b which the passengers on night traims over roads running through Canada from one point in the United States to another may be saved the annoyance of having their hand baggage inspected by custom officers at the point they re-enter the United States terrl- tory. Unil recently passengers for Detroit or other points west entering Canada at Duf- falo were furnished a label which was at- tached to their hand baggage, showing that tho owner was a “‘through passenger,”” which label passed the baggage at Detroit without examination. But as this plan did not pre- vent the passenger, with the aid of an ac- complice, from puiting dutiable articles of great value into his handbag while in Ca- nadlan territory and bringing them duty free into the United States, it was recently or- dered that all baggage, except such as had been checked and therefore could not be tam- pered with enroute, be examined at - the point it re-entered the United Btates terri- tory. By this plan, however, it is very fre- quently “necessary to waken passengers in the middle of the night to produce their bag- gage for examination, and it i to avoid this annoyance that the treasury officials are now considering other plans. It Is quite probable that the result will be the placing of cus- tom agenis on all through night trains or the adoption of a system of sealing the fast- enings of hand baggage. Some action in re- gard to the matter will likely be taken very soom. MORA TO GET HIS MONEY AT LAST. ent Wi ent This Week.

KNOCKS OUT THE FLOURNOY COMPANY Every Contention of the Land Syn cate Turned Down by the Court € Submit §.—(Special.)—~Captain W, H. Beck s authorized to eviet tenants from the Omaha and Winnebago reservation, and the Flournoy Land company has received & knockout blow. This morning Judge O. P. Shiras of Due buque, sitting on the bench of the federal court, handed down two declsions growing out of the Indian land The most Important one was the case brought by spes clal counsel to test the right of government to secure a mandatory injunction for the removal of tenants from lands of the res- ervation. It s entitled the United States nst the Flournoy Live Stock and Real Estate company and others. Fully 250 ten- ants of the land company were joined as des fendants in this case. The court holds that these land leases are wholly void and were controversy taken in violation of the provistons of the acts of congress under which allotments in soveralty were made. The occupiney end cul- tivation of the land was held to be wholly Inconsistent with the purposes for which the lands were set apart as a reservation and the object sought to be secured by the al lotment. Such occupancy is held contrary to the rules and regulations of the Department of the Interior, and is held, not for the bens efit, protection and advancement of the In- dians, but for the original lessees of the land and their subtenan(s. The court also holds that such land business as has been cons dueted by the Flournoy company is antago= nistic to the control and authority of the government over Indians, and is clearly detris mental to their best interests, materially in terfering with the rules and regulations of the department charged with the duty of carrylng out the treaty stipulations under which the lands were set apart for the Ing dians’ benefit. The right of the government to Invoke the aid of the courts is sustained Having assumed the duty of securing the use and accupancy of the lands to the Indians, and belng charged with the duty of enforcs ing the acts of congress forbidding tha aliena= tion of the allotted lands until the expiration of twenty-five years after allotment, this right ta the use of the courts |s assured, by man= datory injunction or other proper process. The right to compel parties wrongfully in possession of Indian lands fs upheld and such parties must yield possession. The effcct of this sweeping decision s & great victory for the attorneys of the gov- ernment. The agent of the reservation, Cap= tain Beck, can now resume evictions and will probably do 80, according to instruciions from the Department of the Interior, The other case fs that of Robert Pilgrim and sixty other subtenants of the Flournoy company against William H. Beck, agent at the Omaha and Winnebago agency in Thurs- ton county, o secure an injunction preventing the agent from following the instructions of the Interior department by the eviction of tenants of lands let by Indians to whom they had been allotted to the Flournoy com= pany, and by it sublet to the relators in the sult.” This_case was begun in the district ccurt of Thurston county. Judge Norrig grarted an injunction restraining evictions until January 1, 1896, The case was removed to the federal court by R. W. Breckinridge of Omaha, special counsel for the governs ment. The demurrer of Attorney Hreckine ridge was sustained in this case and another victory scored by the government. In the former .case there cighty-three demur- rers, which were all overruled. The twe cases were submitted to Judge Shiras at Dubuque In August last. —_——— PAID FOR WOUNDED AF JCTIONS, Mru.
