MOBILE'S PLEA FOB SUBSIDY Poetmaeter General Waaamaker A wait lag Further Information from Chica go Carious Belle of Wooaded Knee. Investigating Immigration Washington. Aug. 4. The officers of the Assistant attorney general for the postoffice department have at last adopt ed p'"", approved by the postmaster general, wh ich, it is thought, will break up a very novel and extensive fraudu lent enterprise, that of The Home Fas cinator company, of Montreal, Canada, which by the aid of the mails has been working very successfully upon many credulous people in the United States. This concern, it is stated, publishes a monthly journal called The Home Fas cinator, alleged to be devoted to useful knowledge, romance, etc. The ''etc." seemed to cover the greater part of the paper and consisted of an adver tisement of fonr prizes, to be awarded to persons sending in the largest correct list of English words of not less than four letters,- constructed from the letters contained in the words "the world's fair," each competitor to send with his list the sum of $1, the subscription price of the paper. An enormous circulation has been acquired throughout the United States upon tbe basis of this offer. Prizes were adver tised to be awarded on June 29, 1831, the first prize consisting of $1,000 in gold, the second prize a grand piano valued at $400, and the fourth a sewing machine estimated at $05. As to tho third prize consisting of a "silver tea set, gold lined and valued at $120." the clever and unique plan was adopted of awarding it to thousands of persons. Circulars asking for remittances of $4.90 to pay for packing and shipping tbe prize, it is stated, have been freely distributed throughouot Kentucky Missouri, Iowa and Pennsylvania, so far as advices have been received In one small town in Missouri six persons were notified that each one had been awarded the silver tea set, and six money orders amounting to $4.90 each were promptly forwarded to The Home Fascinator company at Montreal. The department seemed powerless to avert the consummation ot a great wrong until it was suggested that all American terminal postomces designat ed as exchange po3tomces with Canada, should be treated as offices of destina tion, and the postmasters there in structed br wire to refuse to certify to" money orders or forward registered let ters payable and directed to The Home Fascinator company, but to return the same to the offices of origin marked "fraudulent." It is expected that many thousands o! letters containing money will be restored to the senders. Investigating- Immigration. Washington, Aug. 4. Dispatches from the United States immigration commission now in Europe to the treas ury department state that the chairman. Colonel Weber, and Dr. Kempster have gone to Germany, where they are now prosecuting their inquiries. Commis sioners Cross, Powderly and Schultz will carry on their inquiries in Great Britain and the southern portion of the contineut. The dispatches indicate that a large amount of valuable infor mation is being collected, no obstacles being interposed officially or otherwise to the investigations which are being made.- In an interview between therommis- sioner-i and the Mormon elder in charge of Mormon emigration at Liverpool that official, who is acting in the place of Brighatn Young. Jr., stated that he and all Mormons believed polygamy to be right, yet as the United States supreme court had decided the anti-polygamy law to be constitutional the Mormon church had adopted a rule against its practice in the United States and that all Mormon converts abroad are so in formed before their embarkation for America. He further stated that when ever the' question was asked converts were assured of the rightfulness of po lygamy, but of the legal impossibility of its being practiced at present in the United States or Great Britain and that they must not go to America if they do not intend to obey the law and abstain from polygamous marriages. Mobile's Plea for Subsidy. Washington, Aug. 4. -Postmaster General Wanamaker is awaiting further information before deciding the appeal of Mobile to be included in the subsidy provisions. The appeal of the Alabama senators and representatives was not witnout weight, but the postofhee de partment put more confidence in the representations ot the financial stability made by business men of prominence. The capital of tbe company which pro poses to build a line ot steamers from Mobile is $10,000,000. and of this it u claimed that $1,000,000 is paid in. The Chicago and other capitalists who are back ef the enterprise asked the post master general to delay his decision un til they should present some memoranda showing the scope of tbe project and the influences which were promising it success. If be decides to include Mo bile in the ports getting tbe benefits of the act of congress, a supplementary ad vertisement may te published by the poatofflce department which will cover the case.

BRULES CANNOT GO TO ROSEBUD The Slows Commluloa Aeeoaaplieh Little at the Lower Ageay. Cham3Eiu.aix, S. D., Aug. 4. The Sioux commission left Lower Brule Agency for Fort Keogh, going by way of St PauL At Lower Brule the only thing accomplished was in securing the views of tho Indians themselves regard ing the point to which they wish their agency to be moved. The majority of them, it was shown, were in favor of going below White River to the Rose bud Reservation, but as the Rosebud Indians positively refuse to sell auy part of their reservation at this time the Brnlea will have to remain where they now are. Tnis is very discouraging to the Indiana, as many of them wish to take their lands in severalty, but as matters now stand they will refuse to do so until they know certainly where their permanent home is to be. This is a question that cannot possibly be set tled before at least one year, as the money appropriated for the use of tbe commission is nearly gone, and they yet have some difficult questions to settle at the.Cheyenne Reservation in Mon- FATAL EXPLOSION.

The agitation within the Alliance ranks over the sub treasury scheme has brought forward opposition from unexpected sources. Colonel W. A. HarrLj ot Leavenworth connty, candidate before the People's party caucus for United States senator has written m long communication op posing the scheme, and C. W. Shuil, candidate for lieutenant governor on the People's ticket last fall, has also come out against it. It is known that President Frank McGrath of the Alli ance does not regard it with favor, and the prospect for a big fight is imminent. The sub-Alliances throughout tbe state take action upon it this month, and their decision will settle the question ss to whether there will be a sub-treasury plank in tbe People's party platform in this state. If Kansas repudiates it U. & Hall, president of the Missouri Alli ance, will receive a great vindication in the fight being made upon him by Dr. Macune. KENTUCKY ELECTION.

Reports from the cities and towns ' throughout the state indicate that the Democratic ticket has about the usual majority probably 20,000. Indications are that the Alli ance or People's party vote is very small. Despite the fact that every ef fort was made for two months preced ing the election to organize the Alliance men in this state all tbe leaders of that movement ot national reputation, in cluding Senator Peffer and Jerry Simp son of Kansas, Taubeneck of Illinois and Davis of Texas, having stumped the state thoroughly.

"What about your wool schedule." " "The prevailing prices' of wool are lower because tbe price of wool is. down all over tbe world. The wool schedule has not had a fair show, because before tbe bill went into effect the market was glutted with foreign goods." "Will the People's party injure you?" "No, I think not. They will draw as heavily from one party as from another. We are in the fight to win." Drawing Two Pensions. Pottstown, Pa., Aug. 4.

The recent interview between President Harrison and Car dinal Gibbons created interest here as an indication of the importance In America of the Cabeusley question. The pope, Cardinal Simeonl and the chiefs of the propaganda have been much im pressed with the declarations of the president. Ths tributes of the Ameri can press to the wisdom of tbe pope's decisions are also greatly appreciated. The holy see sincerely regrets that the friends of Mr. Cahensly have spread a report that Rome placed the obstacles in the way of his schemes. From the first the propaganda declared to Mr. Cahensly that the holy see would never accede to the demands of national bish ops. Cardinal Simeonl and Mgr. Pen- ico both assert that tbe Cahensly scheme will never be accepted by the propaganda. "Nvcr," the declare, "Will it record snnh nrrniraHva to im migrants. Mr. Cahensly committed a grave imprudence. We can never enter upon such a course." The New Tuberculoid Cum. Paris, Ang. 4. Doctors disagree o to the value of Dr. Lauudcngue's now tuberculosis cure.

The next, military budget will contain credits for prelim inary work in fortifying Breslau, Grandenc, and Violabridge, near Mari enburg. It is said that these localities are dangerously weak and exposed, and that this work has been contemplated for some time. The sudden resolution to do what has been delayed so long is generally ascribed to the alarm caused in Germany by Russia's friendly dem onstrations toward France and tho French fleet. The persistence of Hol land in remaining unmoved by Ger many's advances and recent expressions in Sweden of friendliness to France have also confirmed the general impres sion here that Germany is surrounded by enemies.
