Chicago , July 18. The Evening
Post says the great union stockyards
deal has been closed. Tho old owners
get $21,000,000 for their property and
a big slico of the $23,000,000 which , in
stock and bonds , represent the new
company. The Pennsylvania company
and the Vanderbilt interests have been
harmonized. Mr. Depew will be the
president of the new company , but J.
N. McCullough will pilot the old com
pany until the old stockholders have
realized their price , and then the con
trol will be turned over only upon cer
tain guarantees which will place the
Pennsylvania company on an equality
with New York Central interests.
The prospectus of the new company
is being changed very radically in some
particulars and will be issued to-mor
row. It sets forth the following direc
tors for the new company : Chauncoy
M. Depew , New York ; John Quincy
Adams , Boston ; William J. Sewell ,
Camden ; John Hoey , New York ; Hugh
C. E. Childers , late chancellor of tho
exchequer , London ; Edward J. Phelps ,
New York ; Frederick H. Winster ; Chi
cago. The above directors will , it has
been argued , elect Chauncey M. Depew
president of the new company. This
concern will , however , for the present
have nodirect control of the stockyards
business. It will content itself with
securing and dividing the profits aris
ing from tho old company's business.
The following directors of the Union
stock yards and transit company will
remain in control of the actual busi
ness of the concern until the deal has
closed by the final payment of the
stipulated price : R. R. Cabei , Nathan
iel Thayer , H. B. Stone , J. V. McCul
lough , Stuyvesant Fish , John Newell ,
J. N. Sherman and Marvin Hughitt.
Of these directors the ' present officers
will remain as follows : Nathaniel
Thayer , president , and J. B. Sherman ,
general manager. Mr. Williams will
continue to be treasurer and Mr. Ashby
general superintendent.
A Nebraska Land Decision.
Washington , July 19. Assistant
Secretary Chandler of the interior de
partment today decided that the com
missioner was wrong in dismissing the
contest of John C. Pike against the
homestead entry of William S. Atkin
son for the south quarter of the north
east quarter and the south half of the
northwest quarter of section 30 , town
ship 12 , range 12 west , Grand Island ,
Neb. , district. It appeal's that Atkin
son made a homestead entry for this
land March 9 , 1885 , and in March ,
1886 , James Hunter instituted a con
test. March 27 of the same year At
kinson relinquished the title and gave
it to one Roe , attorney for Hunter.
June 2 , 1886 , Pike filed a contest
against the entry , alleging abandon
ment and that the Hunter contest was
a collusion between Atkinson , Hunter
and Hunter's attorney and was for spec
ulation. On July 1 Hunter withdrew
his contest and it was dismissed. On
the day for Pike's hearing he appeared
with counsel , and Atkinson being in
default , Roe appeared and moved a
postponement until final disposition of
his ( Roe's ) appeal from the refusal to
reinstate. Hunter's contest motion was
overruled and the case passed for de
cision. On February 21 , 1887 , Daniel
Sullivan filed the relinquishment of At
kinson and filed an application for a
homestead for the land , subject to the
rights of the contestant , Pike. March
2 , 1887 , the local officers found in fa
vor of Pike and allowed thirty days'
preference right of entry , Sullivan's
entry to be cancelled if Pike should
make application to enter. Sullivan
appealed and the land commissioner ,
December 4 , 1SS8 , held that there
was no ground for awarding "prefer
ence right of entry" to Pike and dis
missed his contest and allowed Sulli
van's entry to stand intact. Pike now
appeals to the secretary and he de
cides that although Roe , as attorney
for Hunter , had expended some money
for his client , yet he has not sufficient
interest to entitle him to appeal. Roe ,
he says , was evidently holding the re
linquishment of Atkinson for specula
tion. While it was time the contest of
Pike was not the cause of Atkinson's ;
relinquishment , yet it is apparent that
tho filing of said relinquishment was
bhe result of contest , and at the hear- :
ing evidence had been submitted which
must have resulted in the cancellation
of the entry , and the only opportunity ,
Roe had of obtaining money for re- '
linquishment was to sell and file it and
procure the cancelling of the entry <
before it was cancelled on the evidence <
submitted at the hearing , the cancel- '
lation thus being the result of Pike's i
contest. The secretary decides that '
he must have preference right of entry <
vad. Sullivan's entry must be cancelled <
should Pike still assert his rights.
Iffrs. Harrison's Narrow Escape. <
Cape May , N. J. , July 19. Mrs. J
Elarrison and Mrs. McKee narrowly ]
escaped serious injury when out driv-
ng last night. On Washington avenue
i boy driving a cart in an opposite
lirection lost control of the horse ,

The cart swerved into and narrowly j
nissed overturning the Harrison car- -
: iage. The horse then ran into an iron '
post and demolished a large plate glass ;
ivindow. He fell on the pavement , i
bleeding profusely. At tho sight' ;
the blood Mrs. McKee fainted. She
soon recovered , however , and the pres
ident's carriage proceeded to their cot
tage without furthor mishap.

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.
W. S. Lerty , United States marshal
for Oklahoma , has resigned , and tho
president has accepted his resignation.
Congressman Connell has been noti
fied by the commissioner of pensions
that a vacancy exists in the board of
pension examiners at Nebraska City ,
occasioned by the death of Dr. C. H.
Wilson.
The president sent the following
names among others to the senate :
Allured B. Nettleton of Minnesota , to
be an assistant secretary of the treasu
ry ; James Russell Soley of Massachu
setts , to be assistant secretary of the
navy.
Tho president has appointed O. L.
Spalding of Michigan assistant secre
tary of tho treasury , vice George C.
Tichenor , resigned. He was formerly
a member of congress and is now a
special agent of the treasury.
The house committee on immigra
tion heard a statement by Dr. Verdi
of this city , himself a native of Italy ,
upon the subject of the padrone sys
tem. His statement was mainly in
refutation of that made by tho preced
ing witnesses respecting the existence
of a system of Italian slave labor in
that country.
A rough official count of tho popula
tion of New York city completed by
the census office shows it to be 1,513 , -
501 , which is an increase of 25.46 per
cent over the returns of 1880 , which
gave a population of 1,206,298 , an in
crease of 28 per cent during the de
cade. In 1870 the population was 942 , -
292 ; in 1860 , 805,658.
The senate , on the 16th , took up the
nominations of the five appraisers of
merchandise recently made by the pras-
ident under the customs administrative
bill , and soon confirmed them as fol
lows : Charles II. Ham of Illinois ,
James A. Jewell of New York , Georgo
H. Sharp of New York , George Tiche
nor of the District of Columbia , and
Joseph B. Wilkinson of Louisiana.
A strong effort has been made to de
feat the confirmation of the nomination
of Prof. Soley to be assistant secretary
of tho navy. This is in part a revival
of the old strife betweeen the line and
staff of the navy. The nomination will
be opposed on the ground that the law-
provides the appointment should be
made from the civil list and that the
spirit of the law was violated when Mr.
Soley resigned his commission in the
navy for the purpose of accepting this
appointment.
Counting Our Population.
Washington , July 21. The pro
gress of the count of tho population of
the United States is being pushed more
rapidly than ever , and day after day
the capacity of the counting division is
increased , until now , with a night force
on every evening , the division is ena
bled to tabulate the returns at the rate
of , 2,500,000 names a day , This rate , if
kept up , will secure the count of the
total population within the next three
weeks , and preparations are already" '
being made for the introduction into !
congress of au apportionment bill. In j
this connection Superintendent Porter •
stated that he has received from every
supervisor in the country reports rela
tive to the question of mortgage statis
tics and he is gratified to find that
throughout the entire country the enu-
merators experienced very little difli-
cultj' in securing the information in ;
this line against which there was such •
a protest from various financial newsi i
papers for some time. Now the whole
outlook is for a very complete and satj j
isfactory census and in spite of the
criticisms which have been heard from •
time to time , there is really no reason
why the department should not conI I
pfratulate itself upon the result of the
work , which was done more promptly
than ever known before.

Chicago , 111. , July 21. A decision
tvas rendered by Judge Tulley to-day
in a case involving a question said

3ayre , formerly an employe , from :
joing into the same business in Illii i
lois and eighteen other states within 1
: hree years from the date that he l
leased to be in their employ. The
xmsideration named in the contract ]
vas $1 , Judge Tulley decided that as <
l result of modern methods of comi
nerce whether the contract was as to ]
me ormore r states , but that as the i
jomplainant was only employed from i
veek to week he was made to agree j
or $1 and employment • for one week t
mly , otherwise he would mortgage his 1
iberty of action and practically his
neans of livelihood. The injunction

The senate on the 14th took up tho
sundry civil bill. Among tho many
amendments agreed to was one insert
ing $333,500 for improving , extending
and repairing the vaults in the treasu
ry building and for constructing new
vaults or safes there. The amend
ment to insert an item of $500,000
for establishing in Washington a Lat
in-American memorial library , tho sito
to be selected by the secretary of state
and the building to be erected under
his direction and supervision having
been reached , Mr. Vest opposed it as
part of a sentimental program to se
cure commerce with tho South Ameri
can states. The amendment went over
without a division. Having disposed
of 15 pages of the bill it was laid
aside. The senate bill to furtlier
suspend for 10 years the statute in re
lation to the Guano islands was taken
from the calendar and passed. The
house bill opening to settlement a por
tion of the Fort Randall military res
ervation in South Dakotn , with amend
ments , was passed. In the house the
day was given up to District of Co
lumbia matters and nothing of impor
tance was accomplished.
In the senate on tho loth , Sherman
reported a substitute for the bill intro
duced by him on the 16th of May to
reduce the amount of United States
bonds to be required of national banks ,
and to restore to the channels of trade
the excessive accumulations of lawful
money in the treasury. Placed on the
calendar. It provides for the compul
sory requirement in deposit United
States bonds with the treasurer of the
United States by national bonds to bo
limited in amount to $1,000 of bonds
for each bank , provided that the vol
untary withdrawal of bonds for the re
tirement of national bank notes shall
not exceed $3,000,000 in any month , and
it also provided that the act shall not
apply to the deposit of bonds to secure
the deposit of public moneys. In the
house Cannon moved the house go into
committee on the whole on the bill ap
propriating $636,189 for additional
clerical force to carry into effect the
provisions of the dependent pension
act. Pending this amendment he
moved the general debate be limited
to two hours. Agreed to yeas 114 ,
nays 60. The previous question was
then agreed to yeas 135 , nays 37and
the house went into committee of the
whole. Houk of Tennessee offered
an amendment providing that persons
employed under this bill shall bo ap
portioned among the congressional dis
tricts of the several states and territo
ries not now having their quota of em
ployes under the existing law. Ruled
out on a point of order. During a
colloquy between Cannon and Houk !
concerning the civil-service law there
was considerable warmth of express
ion. Finally the committee rose and
the bill passed and the house adjourn
ed.
In the senate on the 16th the bill en-
tending the time of payment to pur
chasers of land of the Omaha tribe of !
Indians in Nebraska , was passed. Mr. !
Teller introduced a bill giving a pen- !
sion of $2,000 a year to Mrs. Jessie j
Fremont. Referred to the committeo
on pensions. Mr. Flower introduced a
bill to establish a limited postal and
telegraph service. Referred. The
senate went into executive session and
'
at the re-opening of the doors passed a
bill to establish a national military '
park at the battlefield of Chickamau- I
gua. The senate then resumed consid- i
eration of the sundry civil appropria- |
tion bill and adopted the pending i
amendment increasing the appropria
tion for surveying public lands from ;
200,000 to $600,000. The next j '
amendment that provoked discussion i '
was one increasing the item for tele
graphic surveys from § 200,000 ]
to $300,000. The discussion was i 1
continued until 6 o ' clock , when j
;
the senate adjourned without ac-1
tion on the pending amendment ; * .
[ n the house the journal having been j
read , Mr. Breckenridge of Kentucky • y
objected to its approval and the yeas (
ind nays were ordered on the ques- ]
: ion. "Shall the journal be ap- l
proved ? " It was agreed to. The j
louse then went into committee of the '
ivhole on the land grant forfeiture J j
jill. After a brief discussion the com- ' <
nittee rose. Mr. Sweney of Iowa pre- ]
ented the conference report on the J
) ill authorizing the construction of j
> ridgcs across the Iowa river at Wap- I J
: lo , la. On agreeing to the report | i
kfr. Rogers of Arkansas raised a point' ' j
f no quorum and a call of the house i
ras ordered. Only 142 members
ess than a quorum responded. On J
notion of Mr. McKinley , a resolution r
ras adopted directing the sergeantatj j
irms to bring to the bar of the house ,
uch members as were absent without I "V
eave. !
In the senate on the 17th considera- ! *
ion was had of the sundry civil apI
iropriation bill , the pending question t
leing on an amendment to add to the „
ippropriation of $300,000 for a topoc
graphic survey provisions that one-
lalf of that sum shall be expended c
rest of the 10th meridian and that the c
ict of October , 1888 , reserving irrigaI
jle lands , be repealed. Mr. Call con- '
inued his argument of yesterday c
Lgainst the amendments. Mr. Crjl
igreed in favor of a continuance of the i
Irrigation surveys. Tho repeal of tho j |
irrigation law would open that vast j \
area of lands of 200,000 square miles ) \
to the operations of foreign syndicates , 1 \
who would seizo much of it under tho j *
desertlandandtimborlandlaws.andtho * ' .
people would bo deprived of'their use > . V '
and occupation. Mr. Reagan spoke in (
opposition to tho amendment and in /
favor of irrigation surveys. Without f / t
flnishinghisremarksMr. Reagan yield- w J ' '
ed tho floor for a motion to adjourn , no ij
progress having been mado with tho jj
bill. In tho house tho land grant for- If
• feiture bill was considered in commit- jj
tee of the whole. Mr. Holman of ( I
Indiana offered anaraondment for- )
feiting all land not earned with- \
in tho time limitod by tho grant- j .
ing act. Lost. Mr. McRae of Ar- f
kansas offered an amendment di- /
rocting the attorney general to insti- f
tuto suit against persons holding lands I
opposite to tho constructed portion of j
roads which was not constructed /
within the specified time. The amend- I
ment was defeated and tho bill re
ported to the house. Mr. Holman
moved to recommit it with instruc
tions to tho committee to report it i
back with a proviso forfeiting all lands ! J
not earned within tho time limited in .
the granting act. Lost. Tho bill then t ' < n
passed. The bill , which is a senate- / ' . 9
bill with a house substitute , therefore , J 1
forfeits all lands granted to aid in the * ]
construction of a railroad opposite to > I I
and coterminous with a portion of any I
such railroad not now completed. / 1
In the senate on tho 18th Dawes , ' . m
from tho committee on Indian affairs , m J' jl
to which was referred tho president's \ J
message vetoing tho bill to change the- jl
boundaries of tho Urcomphagre In- II
dian reservation , reported it .back 11
without recommendation , and at the- II
same time reporting a new bill for tho jl
same purpose. Tho bill and message- ( l M
were placed on the calendar. Consid- ( m
eration of tho sundry civil appropria- j M
tion bill was resumed , and Reagan J m
continued his argument. After dis- M
cussion the bill was laid aside. In the- ( M
house Cannon of Illinois , from the- J il
committee on rules , reported a resolu- \
tion providing that the house shall J jl
immediately proceed to the considera l m
tion of the "original package bill , tho , fl
previous question to be considered as- ( '
ordered Monday , after tho reading- j ifl
*
of the journal , and that tho house i [
shall consider tho bankruptcy bill , the- HI
previous question to be considered as. \J
ordered Wednesday , after the reading- AM
of the journal. Tho house decided to- t \M \
consider the resolution. After the dofl
bate the resolution was modified so as- (
to provide that the appropriation bill ' ' /
shall not interfere with the considerajfl
tion of the two bills , and the resolu- ' I
tion was then adopted. The "original ! I
package" bill was then taken up. E. r'fl
IJ. Taylor said never had such a blow- tfm\ \
been given to state rights as by the as- , jl
certainment that undertheconstitution 'jB
citizens of a foreign state might take- | H
into another state any property that i H
was subject to taxation , and there sell
it without the liability for taxation. (
While he preferred the house-substi- /
tute , he feared its adoption would en- YI
danger the legislation , consequently I
he advocated the senate bill. Culbertfl
son , of Texas , said if Iowa could pro- ] fl
liibit the importation of intoxicating- | , fl
liquors it could go further than guar- f fl
Linteeing the health and morals of its- k H
citizens ; it could protect its own pro- ( fl
ducts against those of other states. It fl
would be better to amend the constitufl <
tion than to mangle it bv such make- ' . H
shifts. " jlfl

is not probable that many of the Sioux iffl

jlare their intention of becoming citi- |
