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. Other cases of the fencing In nf public
lauds in Nebraska have been reported from
Butte , Custcr , Chase , Keith , Dundy , Lincoln
and Uitchcock counties , Among the cases

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.

TELEGIlAl'U TALK.
DR. NOHVIN OREES MAKSS A STATEMENT.
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. Garrett'd card
and your cablegram mitkca it appear that we
were pressing a negotiation , whereas , your
letter of June 22 shows that the liret overture
came from Garrott. "
THE CORRESPONDENCE CONCLUDES
with a series of dlspatchts between Cyrui W.
Field in London , and Jny Gould in New
York , running from Juno 17 to August 4 , in
which lleld euys ho has been invited to meet
M * . Garrctt , who says ha cnu arrange with
Muckcy so as to settle the tariff for cables as
well ns for land lines , and that
ho thinks Gnrrett and Macksy are
sick of their investments , and would like to
come to noina arrangement. 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. " August 4 Mr. Field's private sec
retary telegraphed him that "Ruisell Sao
thinks it desirable to obtain his ( Garrett's )
best offer of n settlement on the sale , "

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.
Further iiitelliRencu of thodlsaator shows that
ho fan engine which supplies fresh air to the
iVost End mlno at Mocatiaque broke , thus
depriving the inino of air. 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 disaster U considered horrible in its
mature and stands alone end unprecedented
ia the history of mining , It could have ensi-
y been foieseen nnd prevented , but being
"no of those tlngular oversights , the causa of
the ( Meatier escaped notice.

THE KAIL WAY WOllTjl ) .
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. Their agita-
Ion over n fancied grievance just now ia a
very injudicious movement , ns It may result
n lirlocinp about a change that now only
axistam their imagination ,
