[ Now Yorf : Herald Cable Special to Tun line. ] "Between two stools ono comes to the ground , " Is tlio vul- gnr proverb which la applicable to Jules Ferry and the opportunist party nt this mo ment. Ferry sought In his speech in the chamber Thursday to satisfy both the ex treme loft and right , nnd offended both moro deeply than over , Do Mun and Clcmenccau being as ono in rejecting the overtures bo inndo to the respective parties. The opportunist leader , it will bo remem bered , concluded his speech by an appeal for religious pcacoj but , as wo have pointed out , in the previous article , thcro was a flagrant contradiction between this appeal and the subject matter of the first portion of his dis course. " 1'ho opportunists , " ho declared at the outset , "neither regretted nor wished to retract any part of their past policy , so far as the education laws and religious questions wore concerned. " Now this policy was based upon the idea convoyed in the words of Garabotta : "lo clericalism cc'est ' I'cnnomio , " and had for its outcome , "Article 7 , " the dissolution of re ligious orders , lalclsatlon of schools and hos pitals and the expurgation of magistrates and functionaries accused of clericalism , often on the solo ground that they went to church Sundays , or that their wives were assiduous In the practice of religious duties , or that , they placed tliolr children In schools conducted - ducted by Catholcs. All this was recalled by Comto Do Mun in eloquent and forcible language , and from It the Inference Is drawn that the conservatives could not possibly place any reliance upon Ferry's words in re spect to his desires for religious peace ; more particularly ns tno opportunists , far from regretting the past , declared their intention of continuing to enforce the education laws , and the lalclsntion of schools and hospitals. While the conservatives on the ono hand rejected Ferry's advances , the radicals , on the other , protested in strong terms against the language nnd attitude of the opportunist party. According to Clumcncoa the cx- tfomo left is nvorso to malting any con cessions in favor of religious peace , and his followers arc prepared to go to the bitter end ruthor than retract ono stop in the line of inarch they had marked out for them selves. Clemonccau diamotorlcally opposed the measure and declared conciliation out of question in any caso. Ferry's advances have been unfortunate for hlmeolf nnd his party. Ho has neither inspired the right with confidence in his pro fessions , nor modified the anti-religious pas sions of the extreme loft. This failure is , in a great measure , duo to the fact that the po sition of the opportunists is both false and equivocal ; instead of taking a definite , open stand , they have cringed to both moderates and radicals , with the usual result , that they have offended both. The opportunists have delivered themselves up , bound hand and fool , into the power of the radicals , who , as usual , will reap the old rewards.

HOLLOW HORN BEAR SPfiAKS , Only Land Loft For Grass and the Whlto Man Wants That. ASPIRES TO BE A WHITE MAN. Yellow Hair Tired of Bolne ; a AVIU1 Indian He Gold llations and Is Glad General Crook a Little Klled. The Sioux Commission's Work. ROSKHUH , via Valentino , Juno 9. [ Special Telegram to TUB Buc. ] The stampede begun Friday continued yesterday , though in slightly diminished numbers. The tables wcro placed in the council room of the agent's official headquarters , anO were sur rounded by groups of Indians waiting their turn to touch the pen , which constitutes the signing , clerks bolng present to perform the manual act of Inscribing the name. The council where the commission mot the objectors Und made n final effort to explain away any misconception of the bill was held yesterday afternoon. After some prelimi nary remarks , the Indian orator , Hollow Horn Bear , as the representative of the ob jectors , addressed the commission in about this language : "Wo are hero to tallc to the commission in a spirit of friendship , but wo want to say. what is in our mind. Wo know that the white men nro crowd- ng upon us , and our land is go ing away from us. The Indian must go to the earth. Soon ho will have only land enough for his grave , nnd the whltp man will want that. Yesterday you , Three Stars , called mo a woman. I am glad I am likea woman. Yesterday I was there in council , and then I was like n woman1. I bad nothing sharp hanging from my bolt or I might have been a man. Now I say , llko yesterday , get all thcso agencies hero nnd tallc , and then sign or not , as wo decide. Last night the half-bloods talked cross to mo , andl did netlike like that , for I was a friend to all Indians aud white men. " Yellow Hair , who has always opposed the treaty , then said : "I want to bo a white man nnd work like a white man , us my great father asks ino to. I want , when I' work , to got good pay for it , and to learn to bo n blacksmith , carpenter nnd so forth. When I was in Washington the great father took ino around and was a friend 16 me. Ho promised mo many things , but wo did not got them. Why did they lie to usj Some white men como hero nnd are good to us and are our friends. Wo are glad when such men como hero and are their friends. I shako hands with you with a good heart. You give me rations nnd I am glad. Wo must learn to work and know how to inako a living. Wo want the Indians and half-bloods to bo employed at the agency , then the inouoy will stay hero and not RO east , like now , when the white men do the work. " The entire police force of the agency then ranged themselves in a line , while their cap tain , Little Dog , addressed the commission , asking for bettor provision for the police , and praised the agent for his friendship to them , after which Major Warner explained the law In regard to the conflict between this treaty and that of 18CS , this being no abroga tion of the former but simply adding to that. Hollow Horn Bear then called upon Three Stars to talk to them , which ho did In a very fine speech , in which ho spoke of his exper iences among the Apaches , and his sorrow that the Sioux were not progressing as rapidly. The general further continued : "Alter being away from you for eleven years I como back. I think you ought to treat mo better , when I como up to your council to ex plain the law to you. I was told you under stood the matter. Now you como hoto and say you do not understand. I think it is not right to treat a friend In this way. " Allud- to the scarcity of population east or the Mis souri river in 1805 , the general said that the white men were like birds , nnd batched outbreed brood after brood who , for want of room , were crowding westward more rapidly than was expected at the time of the treaty. "Last year I did not think the price enough , now , I think , wo offer you enough ; and as your friend I ndviso you to accept this offer. Do you not know I am your friend by my nets ? To do you good costs us money and time , and trouble , ns well ns much thought , and by this you may know I nin your friend. " Speaking of Hollow Horn Dear , the general said that with his brains and oratory ho could become the most prom inent man on the reservation. Hero Hollow Horn Bear interrupted aud remarked that wlicn the man became a chief a bullet might burst on his head. Spotted Tail was given us nn instance ot this , his slayer , Crow Dog , Doing present to hoar the talk. Major Warner also made a warm appeal to them to leave their idle habits and become citizens nnd civilized. Two Strikes made n speech in which ho asked for additional price for the land , though ho had boon often told by the commissioners thnt.tnoy had no power to grant it. An invitation being again extended - tended to the Indians to sign , many came forward - ward nnd touched the pen , There has been no regular council to-day , but there wcro a number of small ones , both ninonp : the opposition nnd friends of the bill , those of tho.opposition largely predominat ing , The Indians have been coming In slowly.but steadily , all day and signing. Up to ibis time about seven hundred have touched the pen. Hollow Horn Bear , who delivered his great speech yesterday in op position to the bill , nnd which created n pro found sensation at the time among both fac tions , after a long consultation with his band and relatives last night Is ot greatly changed views to-day , and Intimate- friends state em phatically that in the on > l ho will big" . If this is so it will bo a big strike in the right direction. The thrco most prominent chiefs now on the opposition/aro Yellow Hair , Spotted Tall and Quick Boar , chief of the Whusiaas. 'llieso two men have a strong following and a largo portion of it will bo difficult to t chnngo , so Hot are they in their views. The ' total number of voters over eighteen who are allowed to vote is 1USU ; the requisite number , three-fourths of the legal votes to adopt the bill will bo , 1.038 , and this dors not 1 include the reservation of whllo men incor porated with the Indians by marriage , as heretofore described. Now that the rush of the friends of thn bill is over , ono can moro fully realize the work and dlfllculty yet to bo done , and prejudices to overcome , before the bill Is brought to a successful issue , and it will take stupendous work to secure the last hundred votes. There is no doubt that if General Croolc was not with the commission its efforts would bo a signal failure. But the Indians kuow him and trust und bellovo in him. Governor Foster nud Malor Warner , whllo extremely able men , have had no intercourse with the Indians except in the councils. Many Indians , who wcro strongly opposed to the bill , have gone to General Crook and asked him for Ills word if the bill were right ; and when ho told them ho believed it was , they have gene and signed U. There is another thing hero , which is only known to the initiated , that of little wheels within whcnls , for there is no doubt there- are par ties high in ugcticy circles hero , who for personal gains and Importance luwo endeav ored to clog the work of tbo commission for their own particular benefit. So when the coup d'utato comes , they will bo on the win ning sldo and magnify their Influence , None know this moro fully than the commission , who have too long heads to bo fooled in the least by whatever pretensions. A Favorable Keport , ROSDIIUU , Juno 9. At the council last night Hollow Horn Bear withdrew from the opposition , und this morning High IIawl signified his ngicement , nnd both will sign , This breaks up the unfriendly clement and assures the acceptance of the tcrrna offered by tuo ( 'ovornuicnt , so far as this agency la concerned , Tup commission will remain u few days longer , In order to obtain the sig natures of Indians llvlnjr nt distant points , nnd will then go to the IMuo Ridge agency.

[ Special to TUB The canvass for the nomination for governor has so far boon confined almost ex- : luslvoly to republicans. The democrats are ust beginning to show a little interest aud are leading out several horses that they think might make the race. Among those are the following : General S. L. Glasgow , of 13ur- ington , an able lawyer and an excellent cam paigner ; Colonel P. G. Ballingall , of Ot ; tumwa , a rather light weight but a very pop ular democrat , who loves nis party and spends bis money freclyfor it ; Hon. Horace Boies , of Waterloo , formerly a republican , but now as bourbon as the most ; Senator Boltor , of Harrison county , who is quite pop ular with the old tinid ' 'unterrificd1 ; Hon. D. O. Finch , of this city , at present United States district attorney a good lawyer and a flue speaker , and Hon. Jerry Murphy , formerly congressman from the Davenport district. There was a time when ho had a great ambition to run for governor , but ho is something of u back number now , and quite out of politics. Captain Merrill , of Clinton , is again discussed. Ho , too , was anxious to run for governor nt one time , but his good soldier record wasn't a match for the old , fossilized politician froiuMouona county , and so Whiting was nominated and Merrill was left out. Ho isn't likely to bo ambitious to lead a forlorn hope , after being snubbed four years ago. Hon. John H. Craig , mayor of Kcokuk , has some reputation in having beaten Mayor Irwiu on the issue of the enforcement of prohibition in ICeokuic. Ho is supposed to bo a candidate. The names of Colonel Charles A. Clark , of Cedar Kapids , and Fred LiChinann , of this city , are always brought up. Either would make a strong candidate , but neither would consent. Both are good lawyers , andean not afford to waste time or money iu politics. So far thcro scorns to bo no drift of choice iu candidates. Soldiers' Monument Commission. DBS MOIXES , la , , Juno 9. [ Special to THE BEE. ] Governor LarrnDeo has called a meeting of the soldiers' monument commis sion , at Iowa City , Juno 17. It is expected that the commission will bo prepared then to make some definite recommendations to the legislature. The commission have found the work of treater magnitude than they had an ticipated , The aDproprlatlon of ? 5,000 foi getting the work started gave them little cuanco to figure on the ultimata cost , IHIL they decided to spend a part of this money in offering cash prizes for designs. They are nearly awauiped with the result of the com petition , so many excellent models and designs - signs have bcon submitted. Some of the old soldiers are trying to work up ti feoliug in favor of a memorial hull instead of n monument. They think that a suitable nnd beautiful building could bo orcctcd that would servo as a kind of de pository of war relies , battle flags , regi mental records , etc. , and afford a place where the old soldiers could hold their an nual reunions. The plan meets with some favor and some opposition. It will bo de cided by the next legislature. But the com missioners nro utrongly opposed to anything in tbo way of n bulldmij , nnd they think that the original Idea of nn Imposing and beautiful shaft * or statue should bo carried out , am they will so recommend to the legislature.

This being the hottest day slnco the disaster , the weather Is tolling on the workmen. With the fires constantly kept going , burning up rubbish , nnd the hot sun , many of them were exhausted before evening. The hot sun beat ing down on the wreckage above the bridge lias developed the fact that many bodies of animals and probably of human beings nro yet in the rulus. The stench arising from this pile has boon moro offensive to-day than at any time yot. Governor Beaver arrived this morninp. Ho spent the day in visiting the ruined portions tions of the city and In driving up the Cone- inaugh valley. Ho bad a conference this afternoon with the committee hcrotoforo in charge , and as a result will assume control Wednesday morning. Ho left thls-cvcning for Philadelphia. The Western Union k is pushing forward its lines , and to-morrow will open an ofllco in the Morroll building in Johnstown. The Associated press will also secure quarters in the city proper , to-morrow , and the whole newspaper force will bo transferred from the west side bridge to what was the busi ness portion of Johnstown. The two largo hospitals hero , the Cambria and the Dedford , have but little to do now , but a largo corps of physicians arc kept busy. Since the flood , over llvo hundred persons have received the attention nt the physicians at the Cambria hospital. At the Bedford hospital , 802 Injured persons were cared for , and when they could bo re moved safely , were taken to the Pittsburg hospitals. The health of the valley is unusu ally good notwithstanding the reports of n threatened epidemic. The following bulletin is issued by the state board of health and speaks for itself : "The general condition in Johnstown nnd vicinity is excellent. No epidemic disease of ny kind prevails , nor is it expected that any will ariso. The state board of health is prepared - pared to meet all emergencies us they arlso. The air is wholesome and the water generally pure. If the good people of the devastated district will go on ns tnoy have so nobly for the past woelt in their efforts to clean up the wreckage , good health will certainly bo maintained. " Dr. Groff , of the state board of health , says the valleys have been swept so clean by the great floods tluit the river waters uro now uurcr than before the disaster. There is a differ ence In the contaminating power of decom posing organic matters. That from bodies dead of contagious disease would bo far moro dangerous than that from bodies of healthy persons. AB it is , the bodies in the river nro generally covered with from ono to six feet of mud and sand. This earthy matter absorbs all the effluvia and nets ns the best of disinfectants. There is no pres ent danger as to the water supply of Pitts- burg at Johnstown. The only present danger is from people being frightened into sickness by sensational reports. Dr. John S. Miller and Dr. F. M. Strouso are in charga of the Red Cross outposts , which are located in the very midst of the ruins. The flag of the Rod Cross on the white field of touts is a welcome sign of refuge to many workmen , who are suddenly stricken while at work on the ruins. Sev eral cases of vandalism nnd robbery were reported to-day. Last night a number of cars containing supplies were broken into and the contents carried off. What the thieves could not steal they trampled and ruined. The Ma sonic relief car was also entered and robbed. Twelve men were arrested for stealing to-day , but were released upon returning ttio goods. The military guards over in Cambria City were kept busy last night arresting thieves. They were placed in the guard house nnd this morning driven out of town. When they reached the outskirts they were warned tlmt if caught again they would bo summarily dealt with. Miss Walk and Miss Elv , of the Northern homo for friendless children , returned to Philadelphia yesterday and took with them the Hoffman family of ninochildren. These little ones wore found In an utterly destitute condition , ns both of the parents nnd the old est sister were drowned In the flood. The ladles will return and assist in the work of aiding children. Miss Hiuckloy , the head of the Children's Aid society , of Philadelphia , nt the head quarters near the Fourth ward morgue , is ono of the busiest young women in the valley. The number of applications for children fur exceed the number of children thus far pro vided for. Miss Htncidoy says the object of thoEOCicty-ls to unite parents and children rather than send them nwuy from Johns town , although the little ones will bo pro vided for if the parents are not found. There are plenty of Johnstown people who will adopt thcso children nnd bring them up as citizens of Johnstown , instead of sending them to orphauges , Mrs. Magglo Broolo , the only resident member of this aid society who i not drowned , i a sohool tcuchor hero , nnd knows every child nnd tlielr imrunte In the city. She spends her timn in hunting in every house for miles around for parents und children , When a chili ! is found , it is sent to the headquarters und n note and description mudo of it. When any of the child's relatives or parents are found they are sent to headquarters , and In this way many families hnvo been reunited. The object of the Western Pennsylvania society is to furnish temporary ns well as permanent homes for orphans. Mrs. Alston to-dav found at Kernvlllo seventeen adults nnd children living In n room about 10x15 feet. The children will bo scut to Pittsburj ; until the parents can find BOIIIO sort ol habitation , when they will recall their children. Numerous cases of over-crowding were found ut Kernvillo und bad results are feared. William Ferguson walked down from South Fork to-duy , following the line of the Pennsylvania road. Ho said that all the railroads from South Fork to the viaduc' ' were swept away. The old Portugo viaduct is pono. P.trt of the road known as the dcop cut is half filled with earth and sand und the tracks arc lost. The milo and a hal : of tracks from Mineral Point to tno cut is lost , A trestle work la bolng built where the deep cut brldiro once Blood. From the viaduct to South Fork ho said was six miles It will bo three weeks before it will be open for travel , nnd months before It will bo re stored to its former stability. The work of registration is going steadily on. Op to this oveiling there is about 21,000 registered nnd the list is still Increasing. The number of lost is placed now nt C.OOO by these who hold it would roach 10,000 n veok ago. The conservative estimate is bo- Avcen 3,500 and 4,000. Up to date there have boon 1,500 bodies discovered. The tower of St. John's Roman Catholic church was blown up by dynamite this after noon. This Is the church which caught lire > n the eventful Friday night and burned. 1'ho tower stood alone , nnd was n constant menace to the passers by. It was condemned and danger signals placed near It , but ns n matter of safety the authorities ordered it demolished , At an important mcctlhir hero this afternoon , nt which Governor Beaver , Adjutant-General Hastings nnd others were [ irosont , a general discussion of the situation was had. Chlnn McCrcury. of the relief committee , Bald ho thought it was time the relief committee- were relieved of the work of clearing away the debris , by the state. The governor said that all necessary mocey could bo raised ; that thcro were " 00 men who would become responsible for $5,000 each ; that ho would give his bond to the stnto treasurer for $1,000,000 with these of the " 00 men ns his bondsmen , and the state treasurer would then pay out $1,000,000 for necessary work. When the legislature mot the money withdrawn from the treasury could bo appropriated. Ho said the money already subscribed should bo entirely used for the relief of the sufferers , nnd the money from the state treasurer would bo used for storing the vicinity to its condition before the flood. AU the debts all oady contracted for the removal of dobrls should bo uald , but nil money paid out for this purpose from the , relief fund shall uo rofuudcd , so every cent subscribed for the relief of the stricken people ple shall bo used for that purpose nlono. The governor has $2-10,000 in his hands now for the relief fund. A committee of seven wall known men of the state will bo appoint ed to disburse the relief fund , and the pres ent relief committed Is to contmuo until the commission Is appointed. In nu interview to-night Governor Beaver said : "Tho funds which hnvo como into my hands from many quarters outsldo of the stuto and which have been imposed upon mo as n sacred trust will bo expended wholly nnd absolutely for the bonollt of individual sufferers. No part of It will bo expended in the work which is legitimately the domain of the stuto under its police power. " 218 InquisltlonH Koturned. GuKEKsnuna , Pa. , Juuo 9.

ISpecial Telegram to TUB Bnu. ] A largo secret mooting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was hold this evening- , with delegates present from all the Now England sections. Other delegates were present also from/ljow YorK aud New Jersey. Chief Arthur presided. While all proceedings were secret , it is known that it was very lively , and no sooner had it been called to order than a dozen del egates wore on their feet demanding of Mr. Arthur the reason of his alleged speecn inado in Chicago , assorting that < ho would never countenance another strike. Ho replied In a long speech , denying emphatically that ho over said such a thing , claiming that the Associated press has pur posely misrepresented him throughout the country. This announcement was received with cheers. The men on the numerous roads leading from Boston are greatly dia- satisllcd with both their time and pay. The tremendous heavy suburban passenger nnd general freight business makes the former very excessive. They will shortly demand n number of concessions from all the eight roads leading from. Uoston , and it looks as if a big strike is threatened. I1ONOIIING BRUNO. Ills Stnttio Unveiled With Imposing Ccrninonics. Rosin , Juno 9. The statue of Bruno was unveiled with imposing ceremonies. Thirty thousand persons , including students aud deputations from various parts of Italy , marched in procession through the principal directs. The removal of the canvas covering the statue was the cignal for deafening cheers. The ceremonies were witnessed by the syndic of Rome , the government officials and largo numbers of senators and deputies. Deputy Dovlo , in au oration , eulogized the martyr , and declared there was now a re ligion "of free thought nnd a liberty of con science which would bo worse for the papacy than its loss of temporal power. The pro ceedings throughout wcro orderly. The memory of Garibaldi was honored with im posing ceremony at the capitol to-day. A BAI > MISTAKE. The Gory and Slashed Clotlnnj ; Was Not CronIll's.

WHAT CAN THE MATTER BE t Annual Loss to the Sorvloo Al most Itoyond Belief ChnnucB tixpcctcd in the Trcaiury Department. WASHINGTON ntwcAU , THE OMAHA. UIJB 'I . 513 FouiiTBEXTuSTHniir , W-SIIIXOTOX , D. C. , Juno 0. I Thcro seems to bo good reasons for the bo- icf that President Harrison will shortly ssuo a second "general amnesty" proolnmu- .lon , granting pardon to nil deserters from .ho nrmy. The annual loss to the service 'rom this cause is almost beyond belief , and. .ho host uiituls at headquarters nro constantly Tying to formulate soiuo plan which will jriiiK the number of deserters down to the minimum. Referring to the subject , Colonel El. 11. Misonor , Seventeenth infantry , com manding the post nt Fort D. A. llus&oll , says : "Good soldiers do not desert tho.sorvlco , and uo better soldiers can bo found than in this command. Old soldiers very rarely desert - sort , desertions being generally _ confined : o recruits. With all the com forts , recreations and ludultcncles iu this garrison there have been nine 'Xloscrtions ' from this command this month , nil without Just cause. All the talk about young men bolng disgusted by the bru tality or tbo coarseness of the old soldiers is simply rot. As a rule , old soldiers give jtha now ones their first lessons in decency. The youngest men nro proverbially the worst. " It is said that In splto ofColonol Mlsolnor's ' views nud the fact that the army and navy are recruited from the same class of citizens , thcro are 90 per cent moro desertions trout the former than from the latter arm of the service. Desertion is the great curse of the army , and ono of the most unpleasant fea tures of the whole thing is that the for eign-born recruits stick moro closely to tliolr duties than the native American. At least three-fifths of the army nro of foreign birth , but scarcely half of the deserters aro. The question has puzzled the war department of ficials moro than a little , but , so far , no remedy or , for that matter ' , no reason nas been given why this sta'to of affairs exists. The president's proclamation will romovd the cloud which now hangs over thousands of young men , but whether that will act as an incentive to moro desertions is a qucstum army officers are unable to answer. A SIXGULAlt VATALITV. It is discovered that in the uow revised army regulations , which the war department has been distributing , the payment of troops monthly has been omitted , a reform which Paymaster-General Rochester worked hard to secure and which ho finally had adopted by the war department. It is said , at the war department that the omission was duo to the hurried manner iu which tha work was prepared , nnd the general dispo sition seems to bo to throw all the blauio on the government printing office. But as "no copy" of this important reform in the army was over sent to the government printer. 14 is singular , to say the least , how any blame can , bo attached to him. A sort of fatality has attended the issuing of thcso regulations. It toolc n board of officers at least thrco years to got them in shape. They were approved by the war department nnd ordfered to bo Crintod , and since then there has been notb < ig but n succession of blunders. Twice they wcro run through the press , only to make the discovery that 801119 important matter was loft out and the matter had to bq corrected accordingly. CIUXQES EXPECTED. It is expected that there \yill bo several important changes in the treasury depart ment during the remaining days of the cur rent month , nnd that the president will an nounce several important appointments in this branch of the government services dur ing the present weak. One of the changes expected is the appointment of a successor of the present director of the injnt , and the current opinion is that Director Klmbqll will bo superseded by his present assistant ; Captain Leach. The former director was Mr. Burclmrd , of Illinois. Ho hold that under the law lie could not bo disturbed until the expiration of his term , which ho asserted is fixed nt six years , but the Cleveland udi ministration took a contrary view , nnd there is no reason why President Harrison should not bo equally promut in finding a republican to fill the placo. The democratic bureau * chiefs still in the treasury department are f Third Auditor Williams , Ileelstev Uosecrans , Director of the Mint I Klmball , Superintendent Thorno , of the coast survey ; Commissioner of Navlga- gatiou Morton , Mr. Bounott. chief of the revenue marino division ; Major Krilz. chief of thu mail division , nnd Mr. Switzor.chiof of the bureau of statistics. It is said tlmt all of thcso gentlemen , with thn possible excep tion of Third Auditor Williams , will bo re lieved by republicans by or before the 1st of July. Mr. Williams may retain Ills ofllco for a longer term and may possibly -not bo dis turbed at all because of his friendly relations with the president. Thcro are now vacant two very Important positions under the inter state. department caused by the resignation of Commissioners Stockslugcr and Oberlyot the land and Tiuliun offices , respectively. It is thought both thcso places will bo filled this week. Iowa expects to get the former and it is generally thought that the latter will go to Uhodo Island. PIKIIY : S. HEATII. HOKSUTillBF.
