? Ioro About Hlniiic'K Health.
YOKK , July 18. A correspondent
pendent at JJar Harbor telegraphs his
paper thus : I saw Senator Hale this
afternoon at his beautiful summer
home in Ellsworth , which is about
twenty miles from Bar Harbor. . The
senator , who. as everybody knows , is
Mr. Blaine's right-hand man and as
close to him both in friendship and
politics as any one in the country ,
spoke about the condition of the sec
retary of state and also regarding the
prospects for the approaching national
campaign. His words have an espe
cial significance in view of the fact
hat Senator Hale has been in almost
daily communication with Mr. Blaine
during his entire illness , has paid fre
quent visits each week to Stanford and
has had the republican leader for sev
eral days as a guest at his house. Be
ginning with the question of Mr.
Blaine's health he said :
I don't know why you newspaper
men should come to me for informa
tion about Mr. Blaine. Judging from
the columns I read on the subject ev
ery day , the papers know a great deal
more about Mr. Blaine's health than
cither himself , his doctors , his family
or his friends. "
This was spoken sarcastically , of
course , and with unmistakable annoy
ance.
ance."But
"But I should like some facts'I
suggested , which caused the senator
to relax a little.
if you want facts of course that is
quite another thing. The truth about
Mr. Biaine's case can be briefly stated.
He worked too hard during the winter
anu nau a severe uiness in j ew lone
to pay for it. He iiad rheumatic gout ,
too , in its most painful form. That ,
however , was all before he came to
Bar Harbor , where he has been con
valescing steadily and rapidly. He has
been doing there what any sensible
man would do in his place that is ,
taking an absolute rest , with plenty
of driving , good wholesome food and
wholesome food. Of course he has
worried about himself , as he always
will do , but there was no more ground
for such worry than there has been at
many previous times in his life. To
day Mr. Biaine is as well as I am and
will return to Washington ready for
the work he will have to do.
The sensational reports which have
been so persistently circulated to the
contrary are malicious and despicable
falsehoods , in which the hands of Mr.
Blaine's enemies is plainly recogniz
able. I am surprised to see in it also
the hands of some of his supposed
friends. Nothing , however , is more
certain than that in their des
perate efforts to kill the man they j
fear they have really over-reached j
themselves and made him stronger j
than ever. The public heard the same
old tales. Mr. Biaine was journalisti
cally buried , and then they saw this
same dead man go quietly ahead and
shoulder the herculean burden of the
party administration. They saw this
physical and mental wreck' accom
plishing some coups of diplomacy and
statesmanship which will ever be re- |
garucd as brilliant achievements in
American history.
"Bearing all that in mind , when the
justice-loving people of the United
States come to realize , as they will ,
that all this journalistic uproar over
Mr. Blaine's health has been merely
another cruel cause to worry , and , if
possible , kill one of the foremost men
of his time , then there will be such a
revulsion of feeling in Mr. Blames
favor that so far from gaining any
thing by their clumsy maneuvering ,
his short-sighted enemies will find that
it has cost them very dearly. The
American public won't stand being
trilled with beyond a certain point.1'
Kansas Nettler * AVrotliy.
Toi'EKA , Kan. , July IS. The re
fusal of the Trans-Missouri Passenger
association to grant harvest home-
seekers excursion rates has created the
most intense feeling here and steps are
being taken to enter a most vigorous
protest against what is termed the
most flagrant discrimination against
Kansas. A mass meeting will be called
by the board of trade to take action in
the matter and see if some plan cannot
be devised to force the railways to rec
ognize the necessity for cheap rates to
Kansas.
A telegram from Chicago says the
Kansans are needlessly alarmed. The
Trans-Missouri Passenger association
has not granted the harvest excursion
ratos. The subject was simply post
poned to be called up again by any one
of the lines of the association.
Campaign Against Intruders.
WASHINGTON. July 38. The com
missioner of Indian affairs , in a letter
to Governor Bud of the Chickasaw na
tion , says : "If the Chickasaw authori
ties desire to have the aid of the gov
ernment in ridding the nation of in
truders they must modify their laws in
such a manner as will render it possi
ble for the government to act intelli
gently , and to determine who are in
truders they must submit a list which
can be relied on. It is believed there
has been a campaign started to clear
the intruders out of the Chickasaw na-
tfon.
Itnly Asked to Reconsider.
WASHINGTON , July 18. Represen
tative citizens of Italian birth , ex-
pressing the sentiments of the plates of
Virginia , Maryland and the District of
Columbia as to the refusal of the Ital
ian government to participate in the
world's fair , have adopted a resolution
requesting a reconsideration of the ac
tion and asking that a good showing
be made at the fair.
The Sninonit Chieftain Dead.
CHE VENN E , Wyo. . July IS. The
four natives being sent by the govern
ment to their home in Samoa passed
through here yesterday morning. Ma-
nogi , the chief , was in a state of col
lapse when the train reached here and
should have been taken from the cars
and allowed to recuperate before cross
ing Sherman Hill , the elevation of
which is 8,000 feet. Those who saw
him were positive he would not live
through the day if taken on in his
weakened condition. The result was
as expected. Ho sunk rapidly after
being in the rarified air of the divide
and died between Medicine Bow and
Rawlins.
Looking Into the Grasshopper Ques
tion.
TOI'EKA , Kas. , July 20. Chancellor
E , H. Snow and Prof. E. A. Popenoe ,
who were commissioned by the Topeka -
peka Capital to look after the grass
hopper scare in eastern Colorado and
western Kansas , have completed their
work and sent the report of their in
vestigations from Arriba , Colo. , as fol
lows :
"After a two days wagon ride of 75
miles , the survey of the area infested
by the long winged locusts has been
completed and shows that the district
covers an irregular section of the
northern part of Lincoln county con
taining about 300 square miles. AVith-
in this area the two favored grasses ,
the range , bull'alo and the grama grass
have been eaten to the ground.
"Even here however other
, , vege
tation is practically untouched , not
excepting the numerous fields of young
corn in luxurious growth. The only
injury to any field crop that has como
to our knowledge is the destruction of
a 12-acre field of fodder sugar cane or
sorghum , only four inches in height.
We have repeatedly seen thr locusts
1V1 cci n CT tli i r fi rrli f i n fi. * l ic in cn i > mc
without inllicting the slightest injury
to the crop. In several cases potato
vines reported to us as having been
eaten by these locusts , were found - upon
on examination to have been destroyed
by Colorado beetles , and we have seen
no evidence that the locusts will eat
the leaves of potato plants.
If it were possible , which we do not
believe , that these swarms could in
vade Kansas , our farmers neeu have
no fears for the staple crops of the
state. Reports agree that the sggs
from which were hatched these armies
were deposited last fall by the locusts
which fiew into this area in August
and September from the south , and it
is a reasonable hypothesis that the
present generation , upon acquiring
wings , will return southward toward
the original habitation of their pa
rents , according to an instinct familiar
to that which was observed to govern
the movements of the Rocky mountain
locusts in each of the Kansas inva
sions.
"It appears , then , that under ex-
cept'onal circumstances like the pres
ent , this specie hitherto considered a
non-migratory locust , may temporarily
develop a migratory instinct. The im
mature hoppers are now rapidly un
dergoing a final transformation and
acquiring wings and it will only be a
short time until they will all have
taken flight toward the south , leaving
their present feeding ground to be re
cuperated by the next good rain or
two.
"Wo have thus far observed no
signs of internal parasitic infection
with these locust ? , as was the case of
the Rocky mountain specie. They will
doubtless appear in due time and help
to keep their numbers within reasona
ble limits , should they become unduly
numerous over a large area.

A Hir Milt.
CHICAGO , July 18. Ernest Dale
Owen of Chicago claims damages in a
suit begun against John T. lioyd , the
Nevada bank of San Francisco , John
O. Steinberger and L. Osborn. The
plaintiff asks $2,300,000 for trespass.
Owen is a trustee of the estate of
the heirs of the late Jose Ygnacio
Ronquilln , who was once a rich Mexican -
ican grandee. Konquilla secured a
large grant of iand in Presidio county ,
Tex. , on which , it is claimed , the defendants -
fendants , who are all citizens of San
Francisco , settled a large force of men
and mined silver ore to the value of
$1,000,000. This occurred since June
26 , 1889. and it is alleged that previ
ous to that date the defendants took
out another $1,000.000 worth of ore
and 50,000 cords of wood valued at
$150,000. Since the alleged trespass
the plaintiff has acquired the trustee
ship of the property. The defendants
claim to hold a title by purchase and
dispute Owen's claim.
Without Pay Until Confirmed.
WASHINGTON , July 16. Judge
Crounse of Nebraska , who succeeded
General Uatchelor of New York as
assistant secretary of the treasury , will
receive no pay for his services until
the senate confirms his appointment.
This is in accordance with an opinion
of the attorney general that a person
appointed during the recess of congress
to an office which was vacant while
that body was in session is not entitled
to any compensation until after con
firmation by the senate. Justice Beat-
ty of Idaho is another officer irho is
gerving without any pending confirma
tion under the above opinion.

WASHINGTON , July 17. Trouble has
broken out afresh between Indian
Commissioner Morgan and the bureau
of Catholic Indian missions in this city.
Heretofore for many years the Indian
schools maintained by the Catholic de
nomination under per capita contracts
with the Indian bureau direct , or for
which special appropriations have been
made by congress , have been managed
and directed by the bureau of Catholic
Indian missions in Washington and
contracts and other arrangements con
cerning them have been made between
that bureau and the Indian oflice.
Ever since the present commissioner
has been in ollice there has been trou
ble between the Indian Bureau and the
Catholic managers here. The fight
was begun immediately after his ap
pointment and strong efforts were
made to defeat his confirmation. Mad
feeling was consequently enirendered
and harmony seemed impossible. Not
long since ilev. Father Stephan , director -
tor of the Catholic bureau , went to
Europe and Ilev. Father Channel ie was
assigned to duty ns director. A truce
was patched up and an agreement made
to resume harmonious. Rev. Father
Chappelle and the commissioner are
said to have held a personal conference
in the presence of witnessess and each
side agreed to bury the Indian hatchet.
Soon after this arrangement was en
tered into a bitter attack appeared in
a New York newspaper upon the In
dian commissioner in connection with
the Moquis troubles in Arizona which
the commissioner says was inspired by
an ex-Indian oflice clerk now in the
employ of the Catholic bureau. The
commissioner toolc Father Chappelle to
task for the apparent breach of faith
and he says the reverend father ex
pressed his disapprobation of the news-
pa per article and his regret that it
should have been originated by an em
ploye of his bureau. Thereupon the
commissioner said that harmonious re
lations were impossible so long us the
ex-Indian office clerk was retained in
the Catholic bureau and demanded his
discharge. Rev. Chappelle declined
to accede to this demand and the In
dian commissioner then refused to re
cognize the Catholic bureau in making
contracts and notified that organiza
tion that he would make the contracts
directly with the schools- . From
this decision the Catholic bu
reau has appealed to the sec
retary of the interior. If he should
overrule the commissioner the latter
Will carry the case to the president
and in fact he is very complacent about
the affair and very sanguine that in
the end he will be sustained by the
power from whicii there is no appeal.
There are about fifty Catholic schools.
They have been built up by the Cath
olic bureau and have always been in
its charge. Few complaints have been
made although Commissioner Morgan
claims to have information that some
of the schools prefer to contract di
rectly with the Indian ofiice instead of
through the church bureau.
g in the Deposit- . .
WASHINGTON , July 17. The secre
tary of the treasury has issued a call
on national depositories for nearly
H 000,000 of government funds in
their possession. This amount is dis
tributed among forty-two banks and is
treasuries between now and August lo.
Twelve of these baiiKs are discontinued
altogether as depositories. These are
the last of the so-calied "surplus" ' or
"inactive" ' banks authorized during
the administration of Secretary Fair-
child. There were nearly three hun
dred depositories holding $47.000,000
of government funds. Under the pol
icy inaugurated by Secretary Windoni
mid continued by Secretary Foster the
number of depositories have been re
duced to thirty and their holdings
$ ! ! > , 000,000. There will be no further
reduction as the department is of the
opinion that the deposits have now
reached the minimum now requisite
for the public service.
The Lift lleiulor Story.
ST. JOSEPH , Mo. , July 17. T. B.
Randolph , an attorney of this city ,
who has just returned from Nicirerson.
Kas. . says that he there made the ac
quaintance of Tom Doolittie. an old
time freighter , who told a story of the
famous Benders , which , if true , settles
all question as to the whereabouts of
the family. I'oolutle ' says after the j
murder of York , a band of searchers ,
headed by the murdered man's brother ,
went to the Bender house and extorted
a confession from the old woman.
They hung old man Bender , his wife
and son to the rafters of the house.
During these proceedings Kate Bender
offered some protest and was shot to
death. Afterwards York's avengers
f.ook their bodies to an old creek some
yards distant from the house and
buried them. The attention of a fam
ily living on an adjoining ranch was
attracted to the Bender place by a
starving calf and then their absence
was first made known to the public.
This gave rise to the report that the
family had fled to avoid punishment
and caused the prolonged search for
them by the officers.
Mr. Randolph cays Dooh'iUe bears
$
a. good reputation for truth and named
several persons by wliom ho claimed
be could prove the story.
