Views or Sonntora Teller mill Man- tlerfloii With , a Siirlnttlo of i'ulltlcs , V A Washington special to the Chicago Times says ; Tbo president' * proclamation regarding the unlawful fencing of the public domain Is n much eovercr blow to the great cattle farms than the action taken In regard to the Cliey- enno and Arapahoe strike. It alTccta the oc cupation of the public domain In almost every portion of it. A year or two ago a mail con tractor In Nebraska reported as follows : "In the Loup river valley of Ouster county , Nob. , are largo cattle ranger , inclosing hun dreds of acres of government lands with barbed wire , regardless of section or oven township lines , and I must diivo through such gates as they choose to put up in order to got to the postofliceH , having often to leave unruly horses to open nnd shut their so-called gaits iu all sorts of weather. What I wish tn know is , can I compel those parties , through yonr aid , to open section lines nnd let mo through without going teveral miles out of my way I" An investigation was thereupon made , which fully confirmed the fact * reported by the postoflico department. The luclosure par ticularly referred to was found to bs of the Brighton ranch , whoso fences ware admitted to curround l'Jj.030 acrpc , a largo portion of which is public land , The land waa also as certained by tha nRont to bo good farming land.

A fowcasoa have been investigated , nud cult was commenced against the Brighton company , Thn new law , passed mainly through the effort * of Congressman Payaon , of Illinois , abbreviates proceedings very much , nnd allows the president to use the army If necessary to eject the trespassers , without carrying on several years' litigation as a pre liminary. TUli LEASES. VIEWS OP HKNATOR3 TILI.IK AND MANDERSON. Tha Chicago Times of yesterday publithos the following : United States Senator II. M. Teller , of Colorado , ox-FOcretary of the in terior , was at the Grand Pacific hotel yester day , Ho is on Ills way homo from the Grant funeral. His opinion waa asked on the order of President Cleveland requiring the cattle men to abandon the lands that they lenso from the Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indians within forty ditys. Ho replied that tlio presi dent probably knew what was best In that matter , and ho would not criticise his action in that regard. It has been reported that the lea > t's first cranted by those tribes , in 1E 3 , had boeu sanctioned by htm while secretary .of the interior , but he dn- niod this statement most emphatically. He maintained that ho specifically stated at the tlmo In his report of 1683-4 that all rights ware reserved by the government to remove the cattlemen whenever and in any manner tint it saw fit , either on complaint of the In. dians or nt its own option , lie did announce to the cattlemen , however , that if their occu pation ot the lands was agreeable to the In dians tha government would not interfere. The cattlemen had occupied tha land for two years , ha said , without lha ( lightest trouble or objection. He bo ieved that the present trouble was due entirely to the men who had formerly occupied tha laud without rental , and that tney haJ become ugly when they saw their olJ pastures being occupied by others. Tha Indians , ho believed , had been greatly benefited by coming In contact with whlto men. They had been taught how to farm and herd cattle , and were given an Insight into the traniactiou of ovory-Uay busi ness. llo was of ths opinion that the order related only to tbe reservations of the Arapa- hoes and Clieyennea. "I think tha prtbident' * order requiring tha cattlemen to leave Indian territory is a move in the tight direction , " ld United States Senator Mamloreou , of Nebraska , to a repor ter for the Times at the Grand Pacific hotel yesterday , "It may be , " he added , "that forty days ii u rather > hort time for them to move In , but I think if they show a diipoii- tlon to obiy the order they will be Riven BOIIIO day * Brace. " "Will not th'i ' tction deprive the Indians of quite a nice Income ? ' ' "Ytu ; but then I do not know as tha money they receive in this way does them any good , It U divided tip ainoog them , aud they iquan- derit in dlsnpation. Tha Indians , ym know , are the greatest gamblers In tha world , I be lieve Cleveland la sincere in this matter , and will see the thing through , " Changing tha subject to politics , the senator laid thera wa llttln news in Nebraska. Tun democrats tliero were very much dlitatiified with Cleveland , as he did not turn tha repub licans out fast onounh for them , Itnra had twn no changes of importance In tha political oflicea in Nebraska , although he thought iu time they would be all filled with democrats. At jo the preildent'4 civil service policy Sen- 6tor ManJertou said ; "J don't know how to take Cleveland Ia that respect. Sometimes I believe the man is sincere , and then something comes up that makes bellevo it Ii n moro sham.t Take , for instance , the postmaster .casa in Chicgo. Hnro Mr. Pointer was dismissed for befog an ' Mr. Juild wai cffemlve partisan'nnd ap pointed in his place at ft time when there was A great political excitement at Springfield , Judd was no sooner appointed than It waa reported that he was down at Springfield , nnd Morrison , ono of the lending candidates foi Iho United States eenatorshtp , was in Washington. It looks to me as though Cleveland , saying he 'would nb'or consent , consented. ' No , I do not know how to take filr. Cleveland iu thoie matters. " The nonatior Is on his way homo from Now York , being ono of the senate committee appointed to attend the Grant funeral , Ho pronounced It the crandest spectacle ha ever witnessed , nnd ventured the opinion that It was the largest crowd ever gathered together on one occasion.

Till : MINNESOTA RIVER COMMISSION SPEAKS ST. PAUL , Aug. 11. The state river com mission has formulated n letter to the editors of the leading journals of St. Louis , Memphi8 and New Orleans , explaining the call for a convention of thouppjr river states and terri tories ludependentot the lower river interests. They protest against tbe Imputation made in southern journals that the call was meant as tiostlle or antagonistic to the south , but was nn exercise of tha rlo.ht of independence. The letter says tbo policy has been to slight the producing centers like the now northwest , in bestowing the bulk of appropriations on other sections. Figures ara cited , und it ia argued that nine statoa and territories of tha north west IKUftiis , Wisconsin , Iowa , Minnesota , Missouri , "Kansas , Nebraska , Dakota and Montana having ever 7,000 miles of naviga ble waterway , nnd producing the bulk of nil the GRAIN AND WHEAT 0V THE CODNTR1 , received an aggregate of $1,500.000 in the river and harbor bill , which gives § 1,027,000 to paints on the MissUsijpi below Cairo nlone. The amount needed for Improving waterways reaching the Northwest territory is insignificant when compared with the benefit ) to 03 secured by thcert improvement ? , Six feet of water on the Mississippi river above St. Louii , and on tbo Missouri river to Bismarck , means MILLIONS Or DOLLARS to the producers of the northwest every year. To illustrate this lot us call yoiu attention to Hit ) present tituition betwon St Louis and St. Paul , The regular railroad freight rate , when the river Is closed , is fortj cents but on the opening of navigation , the steamers majo a rate of 2u cenU , and the rates on merclian- Jiso nro now , between the t o citle * , as low as five to ton cants , which the railroad cannot neot , this on a partially improved rlvir. But 'or ' this regulator , the rate would still ba forty cents , and wo would do na business with St. Louis. Wo hope to see the tlmo when we will have n rate of hlX CBNIH I'HH HUSIIEL on wheat from St. Paul to Belle Isle , and loat our crop via St. Louis. This we can 10- cure , when our river improvement ! ere com' [ tinted , at an expense ot $2,000,0 0 or $3,010- )00 at tha utmost Such considerations as these have led the friends of the river improvement of the northwest to consider the propriety of an organized effort to convince congress that onu dollar spent In river improvements ia the statrs named will accomplih moro toward the relief of both producer ) and comuuiera than ten dollars can ou that charmed outer circle which has from the beginning nb- toruoJ the bulk of all apuioprlntloni.

NEW YORK , Aug. 11. Dr. Norvln Green , president of tha Western Union telegraph company , makes public this evening the re mainder of the correspondence ) , chiefly ciblo dispatches , in regard to the negotiations for the puichasa of the Baltimore & Ohio lines by the Western Union , or tha restoration of tele graph tolls by the two compinies. Dr. Green gives ns n reason for the publication his desire "to correct an impression made by Mr. Robert Garrett's cabla card , " which was sent In Uisso dispatches lait night. The first dispatch la from Dr. Green to John Pendor , of London , nnd appears to bo in toply to n dupatch from the latter poatla- man. It says that the "same form of deal" wai had with the Baltimore & Ohio hero ( New York ) ; that nn figures were proposed , and asks whettor the Baltimore & Ohio can give an order to admit of an examination of its revenues and expense. } . This ii dated July 5. On July M Mr. Ponder re plies that Mr. Garrctt was not prepared TO EXIIIR1T lilt EOOKH , but suggested that the mlloapo of his lines was greater than thnt of tbo Atlantic & Pa cific and the American Union together when absorbed by the Western Union , and seemed to think this might eerve ni ajbasis of nego tiation , July 18th Dr. Green replies that thU basis is not satisfactory , and says ho could not go beyond the cost of the property as a basis. July 31st Mr , Ponder asked Dr. Green If the rumors of a settlement be tween the companies are true , nud is answered the same day that they are not. August 4th Mr. rentier telegraphs Dr , Green thnt ho will SEE MR. OAHRSTT In Hamburg , and present the dactor'd views. August IJth Dr. Green replies that ho does not think it best to press Mr. Garrett with any urgency ; that he is paliafied that they are far apatt iu terms ; tint Mr. Garrett wauts a largo profit , and that there must be "an end to taking In a profit. " Then follows Mr. Pemler'n telegram of August 10 , about the rise in value of Western Union stock , sent in those dispatches last night. Under date of August 11 Dr. Green replies at considerable length , In thocourto of which ho says. ' I think you have been im posed upon , and muat have acted under A > [ APPREHENSION 0V THE TACT3. No one in this company has represented that tha deal with the Baltimore & Ohio has been made. I have steadily aud uniformly denied that there was any approximation to an agree ment. Special interviewo with me to that UIect have been published.

Mr. Gould res plies that the lialtin ore & Ohio , as nearly a- he can leari , "Aro looslug ever 550,000 per month in their telegraph businnfs , and it is only a question of time when it will carry down the Baltimore & Ohio company. " He suggests that if the BjHmoro & Ohio will let the auditor of the Western Ution company GO OVER ITH ACCOUNTS , ho is prepared to "go through the figures with a view tu a deal ou the actual couditton of business.

A MINE MXtVLOSCOX WITH SEHIODS LOSe Ql' LIFE. WILKESDARUE , Pa. , August 11. Informa- > ion has just reached hero of a terrible ox- ilosion of gas on tha west end of the Coal iompany's mines this morning at Nocanun , itteen miles from nero. As far as can be earned ten miners wcra instantly killed , nnd several others dangerously injured.

Pour men have > oen brought to tha surfac9 dead and four or ivo moro are yet in the mine nnd cannot be cached owing to impure air. CAUSED BY A BROKEN FAN. Ju t before the night shift went off duty ho fan broko. Tha boss and men of the day shift knew of this hut took the risk and wont nto the mine. There wore about thirty men in ill who were provided with safety lamps cs it was well known that the pas would nccumu- ate. About seventy-five men were in the ill no at work repairing the fan. They were he first who succumbed , nnd about an hour uter many moro were overcome , ioforo the men fairly realized the danger ibout twenty wore unconscious. Those who jould then eicape did so. Superintendent Fno. Teaidalo and several of his men became unconscious and wore with difficulty , rescued , Others went down , and In the face of immense dlfli- : ultles got ; out all button men , Ttirco of hosu who were brought out were dead , and bo other IK are bsyond doubt dead , THE BOSS BAYS le notified the men before they entered the mine that the fan bad stopped and It was not iafa for them to enter as tbo mine was filling with gaa. This Is denied by tha miners and aborers , who on the contrary say that bo told hem to yo to work. that the fan was broken , bat would bo repaired a ad put in working order in an hour. When hy entered the mlno everything appeared to 30 all right until they began to smell fatal air and sulphur fumes. Before they could got out , many were overcome nnd sulfocatfd.

THE COMPLAINTS 0V OMAHA MERCHANTS SAID TO BE WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL FOUNDATION. The Chicago Times of yesterday says : Charges have bcon made by the Omnlm papers and complaints signed by parties doing business or in sympathy with the wholesale houses at points along the Missouri river that the Southwestern Hallway association was discriminating against that section In the matter of rates. It is claimed by these mal contents that the Chicago jobbers are per mitted to ship goods debtlned to the section west of tue Missouri river over the southwestern lines in less car-load lots at the same rate that is madu on car-loads , and that changes have lately been mndo in the classifi cation with this end in view. The subject has received much attention lately , nnd lias boon agitated to that extent that the Missouri audilllinoig railroad commissioners hnvo tnk- ; n up the matter. If tliero is nny discrimina tion it certainly Is at present against Chicago and St. Louts , as the system ot classification gives tbo Missouri river jobbers n ; roat advantage , nnd its workings have enabled them to build up and hold the trade against their eastern com petitors. Buying their goods in Now York , ; hey ship through to Kansas City , Omaha , 3t. Joseph , or other points at the through rate over the southwestern linen , and distrib- ito their stock throughout the west in small otH. The Chicago jobber , on the contrary , diitrlbuta.3 from this paint , nnd his customer a Idem b iyn in carlo d quantities , As a con- sfqusnca , tbe jobber is forced to pay the loss- cat-load rate , which is PO much greater ns to iirnctically shut him out of the market. This d illustrated on Jtlio following articles : On canned trooJe , coffee , salt lisli , hardware , sugar , molasses , paintr , rice , soap , tin plato nud fonoo wire , the loss-car-load rate from Chicago to tlib Missouri river is 10 $ per cent , moro thaa the car-load rate ; in baking powder , dried fruit , wrapping paper , soda , starch nnd laper bags It Is 43 per cent moro ; on codfish , : andles , grass seed , Iron and wagon axles it is iGj per cent , more ; on salt it is ill per cent more ; on alcohol , liquors nnd whisky it is DO ier cent , more ; on brooms , etc , , 177 par cent , more ; on cordage nnd twine , 1D9 per cent more , nnd on window glass 209 per cent , nore. In the light of these differentials t would naturally bo supposed that , ho Mttsouri river jobbers would be content to rrmaiu very quiet and silt up the matter as little as possible , as it gives them a nonopoly of the territory , does not increaaa 1m tonnage , is of no benefit tj the consumer , and entails a loss on the railroads ; far every merchant who buys at the Missouri river aves round trip faros ti the eastern cities and the railroads lose just that much. But lack of all this is the fact that these com- iluints have no foundation. Thera has > 3pn no cbango in rates , and Commissioner Hidgely persistently denies the charge brought > y the Omaha papers. The eonthwest- rn rates are governed and conform to the oint western classification , which was last evlsrd during the first week in Juno and has not been touched tlnce. That claselficatlon ecognized the differential principal ou car- oads and less car-loads , and was highly satis- actory to the western jobbers.
