Complaint * .
Commissioner B par ten Overruled.
WASHINGTON , July .TO. ( Special Tele
gram to the HKK. ] In tin * cnso of James K.
Storm's application to amend his homestead
entry on a portion of section 13 , township
10 , range 29 , North Plntto district , Nebraska ,
Secretary Lamar to-day overruled the decis
ion of Commissioner Sparks. It seems that
Storm In his original entry failed to securn a
competent surveyor and the man ho em
ployed failed to note the variations of the
compass , consequently Storm entered on
railroad land and In his application fora
homestead he had really taken up a sand
rldgo adjacent to what ho supposed to bo Ids
land , ilo asked-to be allowed to amend. On
this Commissioner Sparks decided May 23 ,
1885. "The party seems to be acting In good
faith. It also appears that the land he
thought ho was entering la within the grant
of the Lin Ion Pacllic railroad company.
Amendments to embrace lands not
originally Intended to be entered
cannot bo allowed , hence the present
application in denied , but upon tiling
a duly executed rellnquishment nf the land
entered , ho will bo allowed to outer the tract
now applied for upon payment of the legal
fees. An application for return of money
paid on the rellnqulsned entry will bo duly
considered. " Thereupon the applicant on
July 10 , Ib8" , executed a rellnrjuishmont of
the tract which was forwarded to Washing
ton , Not having the money to pay the home
stead fee for the tract which ho desired to
enter and fearing le.it In some way some one
clio might obtain a rlgl.t thereto that would
cloud his own the title ho tiled a pre-emption
declaratory statement therefor with the inten
tion of transmitting the eamo to a home
stead entry as goon as the repayment of tils
fees was allowed. On February 15 , 1880 ,
Sparks , In a letter to local olllccrs , In which
no mention Is made nf Storm's application
for repayment of fees and commissions ,
said : "Upon re-examlnatlon of thoaflida-
vlt submitted in support of application
It docs not appear to the satisfaction of this
ofllco ttmt the party used proper care In mak
ing his entry1 must therefore decline to
grant his request and for the further reason
that the law allows but ono homestead privl-
lose. "
Secretary Lamar In reviewing the case ,
says : "Between the dates of the two de
cisions above quoted from , the claimant , re
lying upon tbe promise that ho would be al
lowed to enter the tract applied for , pro
ceeded to build upon and Improve the same.
As no fraud Is suggested , as there is no
adverse claim to the tract , and as the
rescinding ot your decision of May
would work serious hardship and loss to
claimant I am of the opinion that the said
- decision ought not to be rescinded. More
over , In my opinion , the claimant exercised
reasonable care , at last ho was not vullty nf
such blamable carelessness as would justify
the forfeiture of his homestead right. I there
fore reverse your otllce decision of February
6,18SG , appealed from and direct that Storm
bo repaid the feus and commission paid by
him on his relinquished entry aud be allowed
to enter the tract for which he now applies. ' '

ton hat , been hero several days and of course
has been asked his views on the presidential
outlook for 18SA Mr. llatton Is one of those
politicians who have the courage to express
their views when asked to do so. He does
not mince matter * but speaks "right out In

think that the republicans can win next year
but to do It they must nominate a candidate
irho will draw every republican vote. It wll
'not do to nominate a candidate for the presi
dency simply because one faction Is howling
for him. Just now wo hear that Blalne has
the 'call' on the party. But If the
call Is analyzed It will bo found that the men
who are shouting ( or the renomlnatlon of Mr

Those follows are immovably In the demo

"Who Is the most popular republican In
the west ? "
. "That U a dlfllcult Question to answer ; I
think that Sherman Is valuing strength every

would take the west by storm. "
. "You do no seem to be particularly anx

Tbe Farmers Won't See It.
WASHINGTON , July 30. ( Special Tele
gram to the UKB.J Three years ago at the
oqucst ot a number ot stockmen In different
parti of the country the state department ad
dressed a letter to every United States con
sul , directing all to furnish the department
with such information relating to stock
breeding , dairy famine and kindred Indus-
Ties as might be Interesting to dairy-farmers
and stock breeders In the United States-
The result of this Investigation has
ust been Issued from the govern *
incut printing office. It Is embraced In a vol
ume of nearly 000 pages which will doubtless
irove of greater value to the million farmers
n this country than any other work over
ssuert by the government. The work was
performed under the direction of Mr. Mich
ael Scanlon of the consular bureau , who has
edited several valuable works of like cbar.
actor , and It represents upwards ot two
years of the labor of that gentleman as well
as the careful researches of the entire con
sular list. The volume gives a graphic Idea
of the development of the breeding Industry
n all portions ot the world and if it could
jo distributed among the men who are
most Interested tin its contents It
would doubtless prove of Inestimable value
to the farmers of the United States. Unfor
tunately , however , there have been very few
of these valuable books ordeied ,
and they will be exhausted long betorn the
Farmers hear they have been Issued. Worse
than this , It Is said that the typo was not stere
otyped , and that If congress orders a new
supply printed It will be necessary to reset
the entire work. The committees on printIng -
Ing of conzress were urucd to order au addi
tional supply of tlieie works printed , but no
attention was paid to the request , and the re
sult Is that there will be scarcely enough of
them to supply the libraries ot members
themselves and of their Immediate friends.
The work contains SCO lithographed plates
and 855 paces of letter press. It Is replete
with Interesting data and statistics concern
ing the cattle business of the world. It Is in
teresting to note that this country supplies
more than tlfty per cent of all the foreign
chec.se consumed In the United Kingdom.
In 1884 the total amount Imported Into Great
Urltaln and Ireland was 'J15tttO,5GS pounds.
O this vast quantity of casein the United
States supplied ioaW3.2bO : pounds. Yet
while the United States has succeeded In se
curing the lirltlah marketforchecso.lt has
not been HO successful with butter. Of a total
of 377 , 48,8a ; pounds of this product of the
dairy the United States furnished only
11 , )1,473 ) pounds , against 124,934 pounds
from Holland. This country , however , fur
nished the thrifty Dutch butter merchants
with upwards of : c,000ooo ) pounds of the oil
from which oleomargarine Is made , and this
doubtless supplied the basis on which a great
deal of the celebrated Dutch butter of Lon
don waj founded.
It appears from the reports of American
consuls In England that the "roast beef of
old England" is fast disappearing and that
In spite of the prejudices of John
Dull and his daughters the American
cattle ranches are displacing the
stalls ot the English farmer surely
and rapidly. It will not do for the farmers
of the United States to remain In the back
ground and the day will come no doubt when
American butter as well as American beef
and American cheese will lead In the liritlsli
markets. The factory system In the produc
tion of cheese has established the reputation
of the American cheese abroad. As soon as
the farmers show as much enterprise In this
matter of good butter as they do In cheese
they will tind that the English people will
take their products In preference to that from
any other country. The passage of the oleo
margarine act ouulit to boot great help to the
American dairyman In securing a tinner
foothold in the British butter market.
He Never Will Be Missed.
WASHINGTON , July 80. ( Special to the
BKE.I No man In the public service at the
beginning of the present administration has
left his position with so little regret from his
associates in ollico as Mr. M. E. Dell , late
supervising architect ot the treasury. Kell
was appointed from Iowa several years ago
and at that time was a pronounced republi
can. To all outward appearances he re
mained a member of that party until it was
known beyond question that JNlr. Cleveland
had been elected to the presi
dency. In October , 1834 , this man
stated to a number ot gentlemen
in his otllce that If by any possible chance
the democrats should be successful he would
at once resign , as be could not consent to
servo under a democratic administration.
Mo sooner had the republican national com
mittee iclven up all hope ot the election of
Mr. Ulalne than ho found It necessary to
travel at once to Troy , N. i' . , to examine
tbe site selected for the public building there
lie told his associates In the otllce that while
there he would take occasion to run over to
Albany to "congratulate the governor. " It is
not recorded that he accomplished anything ;
for the government while lu Troy , but it Is
known thathe ; "congratulated the governor. "
On his return he boirnn to play his cardsto
retain the favor of the victorious democracy.
Senator Gorman , ot Maryland , "Bishop"
Oberly , of Illinois , and other democratic
leaders whose favor might be of value to the
supervising architect were allowed to dictate
appointments and removals In the office ,
which was not embraced in the classified
service. Men who bad served the govern
ment faithfully for years and whose duties
were ot a technical character were discharged
without warning and others often entirely
Incompetent were appointed to succeed
then. Everything possible that could by any
chance gam democrat supporters for Uell
was done. Within the two years since tlio
Inauguration of President Cleveland nearly
everv employe of the ollico has been dis
charged. There Is not another bureau under
the government where there has been any
thing like the changes that have taken place
In the office of the supervising architect of
the treasury. All these changes have been
made either directly or Indirectly at the In
stance of the alleged republican at
the head of the ollice. That he
failed to win the favor that he expected Is
evident from the fact that Secretary Fairchild -
child has. upon more than one occasion , told
bis friends that the office would be tilled by a
democrat just nssoou as a competent man
could be lound to accept the position nt the
salary offered , He said further that It had
been offered to a number of architects , each
of whom had declined In turn because S4.MK )
a year was not sufficiently attractive to in
duce them to leave their private business.
The now architect , Mr. Ferret , of New Or
leans. Is a centlcman of excellent profes
sional reputation , who refused to accent the
otllce when It was offered to him. He was
finally persuade a that It would afford him an
opportunity to extend his reputation to
all sections of the country , aud this
consideration Is said to have at last
Induced him to accept the place.
He will doubtless build up the office
as f eon as be can weed out the exceedingly
Incompetent hands who were appointed by
Bell solely ou account of their political pull
which they gave him. The office Is of far
more Importance than it is generally known ,
as the supervising architect has almost un
limited control ot the expenditure of mill
Ions of aollars every year.
Defraudlnc the Kailroadn.
WASHINGTON , July 550. iSnecIal to the
BKK.J "All the complaints filed with the
Inter-state commissioners seem to be those
of aggrieved patrons of the railroads against
the corporations , " said a gentleman con
nected with one of the southern railway
companies to your correspondent to-day.
"Some of the roads might tell some facts
against their patrons which would surprise a
great many people , " ho continued. "You
would be surprised to find to what contempti
ble smallness some men will descend to beat
a railroad company. Here Is an Instance.
The freight rate on printed material on our
line is somewhat higher than the rate on blank
paper , Ono of the papers in Virginia ,
which uses "patent Insldes" was In the habll
of shipping them as blank paper In order that
the proprietors might save a few cents In
freight charges. Wo suspected the picayune
fraud and proved U by missing connections
ono weekwhen the proprietors made a claim
for damages on "patents. " Further south
there were a number of merchants who were
In the habit of buying silverware and having
It shipped as "nuts and belts. " At one time
soineot these same people Invented a nice
littla tame foi beating the rail wavs. They
would.buy a bill of goods in New York , and
among ' the bill would be two
or three opteces of ' silk. . 'Ihey
would direct that the silk be kept out of the
box In which the other goods were packed ,
and retained until directions for snipping
were forwarded. Unt the silk was to be
charged In the Invoice. They would claim
when the box was opened that the silk had
been abstracted and would produce the In
voice to substantiate thelrelaltn. They would
swear to the Invoice too. This thing wont on
until the company crew suspicious because
ono or two men would always bo short. Wo
sent a man on to the consignee and dis
covered how the neat llttlo.uamo was worked.
There are dozen other similar schemes for de
frauding the railroads , but we get on to them
more quickly than wo used to do.
A Curious Kxblblt.
WASHINGTON , July 30.-i8peclal to the
HKK. I Among the many attractive features
of the National museum there Is none which
Is more Interesting to the hundreds ot visi
tors who enter the building dally than the
recently opened case of "component parts of
the human body. " Not only the sclentlllo
visitors , but all who there arw at once taken
up with this portion of the exhibit The
case stands In the west hall of the building
and Is about ten feet long by five feet high.
lu It are several huge iars containing chem
icals in the preparation of which
they form the human body.
No one unfamiliar with human chemistry
and anatomy would believe for a moment
that all those various substances are to bo
found In ono human being. But although
he contents of the jars excite wonder the
Immense carbon cubic which forms the cen
ter piece of the exhibit Is the one thing which
few people can understand. This cubic is
about fourteen Inches on each face and as It
u as black as any other piece of charcoal the
unscientific on-looker generally itlvcs vent to
the opinion that It never came from the mor
tal remains of any white man. Ode ot the
jars referred to contains a gallon or more of
chloric gas. Assort time ago a number of
visitors from the rural districts of Maryland
were viewing the contents of tne case
this gas exploded with a loud
noise and blew the stopper out os
the bottle. There were a number of sign
cards inside the glass walls which were at
tached with small brass nail * . These cards
were originally a light but ! color. Within a
moment after the escape of the gas they were
bleached a perfect white. The brass nails
were also aUVcted aud eacli of thpin now has
a head covered with verdUns. This Incident
has attracted the attention of the authorities
of the museum to the danger of allowing
combustible chemicals to bo exhibited In a
room where there might bo a srrious confla
gration. It Is probable that hereafter danger
nf this kind will be avoided bv the substitu
tion of models of the solids and colored water
or glass for the liquid and gosseous exhibits.
A Military Koservatton.
WASHINGTON , July 30. [ Special to the
BEE. ] A movement Is on foot to Induce con
gress at the coming session to provide for
the purchase of a large tract of land on the
Virginia shore of the Potomac for'a grand
military reservation on a different scale from
any which had been contemplated In the
past. Land in Virginia , within a very few
miles of Washington , can be purchased at
astonishingly low lU'tires at the present time.
There are thousands of acres ottered for sale
at prices ranging from 35 to $1 an acre. It
is believed that the day will come
when there will bo a national mlll-
tla within the borders of the United
States. When that day arrives it will bo nec
essary to have a mustering ground for the
nlti/.Dii boldlery and It Is with this Idea In
view that the present movement is inauger-
ated. The government already owns several
hundred acres across the Potomac. Tins
tract Is embraced in the Arlington estate ,
and the cavalry station known as Fort Mayer.
500 acres could undonbtedly bo secured near
this reservation at very low figures just now
and the acquisition would furnish a grand
place for military manuvers.
More Complaints or Discrimination ,
WASHINGTON , Jnly 30. Complaint has
been received by the Inter-state commerce
commission slirncd by the manager of the
Merchant's Freight bureau , of New York , on
behalf of SSI merchants of the states of
Michigan , Illinois , Iowa , Ohio , Pennsyl
vania and Delaware , that the present classi
fication In use for west-bound traffic by the
New York Central , Delaware , Lackawanna
& Western , Pennsylvania , Baltimore & Ohio
and Knt ! railway companies , as regards the
unjust differences now made in classification
and freight charges between carloads and
less than carloads on the same articles be
tween the same points , Is In violation of the
sections of the Inter-state law forbidding
undue preferences to individuals or localities.

The Howard of Apnstnov.
WASHINGTON , July 30. [ Special to the
BEE.I Since their first spurt the civil service
commissioners have had very little to say
tuout the custom of appointing two or more
members of the same family to positions In
the departments. It Is said now that the
commissioners have come to the conclusion
that It Is not within the province of their
office to look Into this alleged nepotism. If
they would do so they would tind that a great
many of the officials of the present adminis
tration have been in the habit ot rewarding
favorites with several places , when such re
wards could be of use. One of the most no
torious cases of this character Is that of a
family named Oyster. The head of this
house deserted the republican party when ho
failed to eet what ho wanted. Ho now draws
11,000 a year In the government printing
office , his wife $1,400 In the land ollico aud a
son a good salary In the coast survey. All
the places were given as rewards for political
npostacy.

CHICAGO , July 30. [ Special Telegram to
the BEIC."If | William J.McQarlgle Is not
on the Blake , ho has 'committed suicide , "
was the rather startling ; remark of a close
friend of the ex-warden this morning. "He
never meant to go-that Is , ho did not plan
It long beforehand. I am sure of that , be
cause there are those who were very close to
him who were Intensely disgusted , no less
than surprised , when they learned ot his
flight. "
"The only development In the McOnrlglo
matter , " said Superintendent Loncrgau , of
Mooney Boland's detective agency , "Is a re
ported Interview with the mate of the M. L.
llcggle , which passed the Blake about 4
o'clock Thursday morning , about twenty-five
inllcs oil ManlBteo. The mate said that she
was being painted. Her starboard side had
on a fresh coat of red paint , with a white
streak running along her bulwarks ,
and the men were at work
on her port quarter , painting that side.
Well , now , if ho wasn't mistaken in
the boat , that ought to settle the question as
to whether she has eone through the straits
or not The plain object of her being painted
out there In the lake Is to throw watchers at
St Ignaco off their guard. It will bo hard to
recognize her by her spars , and with different
paint , she will slide right throned. In that
case tlm chances are mighty slim for the
capture of McUarlglo.
"There's not a word up to this time , " said
Sheritf Matson , when asked for news of Me-
Garlirlo today. . "The last wo heard from St.
Ignace was that up to last night they hadn't
seen anything of the Edward Blake. Yes
terday I thought sure we should have some
word , but we didn't , i expect to hear from
the vessel every moment We surely ouzht
to know to-day where McGarlglo Is. The
truth Is that I am just as much In the dark
as to his movements since his disappearance
as you are. "

tbe crews ot these two seine boats have been
discharged by the British government from

Cincinnati Commercial ( Jazetto : "All
engineers dread moonlight nights , " said
the old trainman , "nnd the trouble is no
trouble at all shadows. An onumcor ,
looking from his engine , sees before him
nil manner of shadows. Ho is sure Hint
the shadow across the track Is K man era
a rook or some kind of an obstruction.
Ho doesn't know , nnd ho is kept in a
state of nervous excitement nil the time.
Going around curves , along hillsides ,
very curious shadows nru outlined nlong
the trnnk , and very often the engineer is
so worked up over n night's ride that ho
is scarcely able to perform his duties. "
