Jutlgo Lewis A. Groff , of Omaha , as an
ticipated some weeks ago In these dispatches ,
was to-day appointed commissioner of the
general land office. President Harrison has
been inclined for two or thrco months to ap
point Judge Groff , but there were strong ap
peals made for the appointment first ot ex-
Senator Chlllcott , ot Denver , then of ox-
Congressman John U. Thomas , ot Illinois.
The exceedingly influential Indorsement of
Chose gentlemen only served to delay the
appointment , for Groff grow stronger with
time. The selection Is universally popular ,
as the now commissioner is well known by
reputation in Washington , At the interior
department mnny of the officials know him ,
and ho is regarded as not only an able
lawyer of upright character , but as one in
full accord with the best interests of a gov
ernment that wishes to do well with the
honest people who have to do with the public
domain. The appointment is an excellent one
in every way. It Is no secret that Secretary
Noble preferred to have the assistant coin
mlssloncr elnvated to the comuilsslonorshlp ,
but the president regarded Judge Groff , who
is but forty-seven years old , and full of the
vigor of life nnd nn active , thoroughly west
crn man , well-read in law and conversant
with land matters , us more capable to ad
minister the affairs of the office than ono
who'bns ' upon his shoulders the cures of al
most three score and'tou years. It is under
stood that Graff will assume charge of the
land olllco us soon as possible.
Senator PaJdock has been receiving con-
gratulutlons to-dny upon his having secured
two or thrco Important appointments during
the few days ho has been here , but ho says
that his colleagues of the congressional dele
gation are entitled to equal credit with him
self. Ho says that Representative Council
in all the work hero has gene to the
front In a manner indicating that
when ho gets his hand in ho Is going
to bo a useful and infiiiontial member.
Senator Paddock says ho Is , of course greatly
gratified that his state should receive thu
most Important bureuu chiefship in the gov
ernment ; that the cominissioncrship of the
general land olficcs takes rank before nil
other bureau offices nnd stands next to a
cabinet olllco in importance us well us rank.
WAiiNr.n ncLiNis. :
Missouri will not fill the olllco of commis
sioner of pensions. Major U'urnor , of ICun-
ias City , has finally declined to accept the
appointment. Hu so informed the president
at Deer park lust night , nnd when ho arrived
In Washington this attornoon reiterated his
determination to continue the practice of
law and to Keep out of public life. Great
pressure WUH brought to bear upon Major
Warner by friends in the Grand Army and
in public Itfu to accept the appointment , und
ho was. until during the lu t twenty-four
hours , very much inclined to do so , but he at
last concluded ' .hut ho could not arrange bis
professional business advantageously , nnd
that it would bo better for him in a financial
way to continue the practice of law. Ho will
remain in Washington for two or thtco days
and then return to his homo.
It is now believed that General George S.
Merrill , of Boston , who is the insurance
commissioner for Massachusetts , will re
ceive Iho uppoiutmonl. General Merrill m a
prominent member of the G. A. II. , H about
fifty years old , and is said to possess the
necessary mmlificatlons to enable him to
make un efficient commissioner.

of thu department of state , who has charge
of the arrangements for the international
American congress whlcli assembles in

make an excursion to the west in the latter
part of October , received a telegram from
Mayor Broutch stating that the city council
of Omaha had appointed a committees to re
ceive und entertain the congress , und asking
for further information on the subject. Tin :
HII : correspondent to-nltrht unked Mr. Curtis
if ho could say anything further than ho linn
already said on the subject , and ho replied :
"Only that I am glad to know that the
vcoplo of Omaha are awakened to tholr inter
ests , and 1 will to-morrow forward to the
mayor nil the Information in my possession
regarding the visit thoro. Wo shall roach
Omaha on Saturday , the 2ith ( of October ,

six. There tuny bo two or tlirco more , per-
hups two or three less , and they will consist
of the delegates from Central and South

"What are you going to see in Omahni"
"Well , it Is the only place where wo will
have an opportunity to see any soldiers , and
the delegates will be all interested in visiting
Fort Omaha and meeting the oil leers of thu
nrmy there. It will be also Intoicstini : to
see thn smelting and refining works which
they will not have an oppoitunity to see else
where , nnd then the great bridgu and the
river , nnd the city of Omaha itself will bean
an attraction for them , for all the delegates
except those of the Argentine Republic
come , from countries where a new city has
not Been started for two or thrco hundred

"Who pays tlto expenses of the party I"
"The government pays the entire expense ,
although In mnny of the cities whcia wo stop
the party will bo the guests of the citi/ons ,
who will pay their hotel bills , carriage hire ,
eta Bull this Is not necessary und it in only
pointed out because it Is thought that a much
better impiossion would be created upon the

accepting the hospitality of the citizens us
well as of the general government , "
"What have been thu arrangements of
other cities ! "
"A committee hits usually boon appointed
to receive the delegates upon their arrival
and to escort thorn about thu town , and it

Tun UcB.j Bishop Fowler , of San Fran
cisco , who has just completed a trip mound
the glone , this morning expressed the belief
that ten years hence America would pay for
ts anti-Chinese laws with the blood of her
cltUens ,
Bishop Fowler was at ono time pastor of
tlio Centenary church in this city.
Ho occupied the entire session of the
Mothndist ministers to-day in speaking about
its observations of missionary work abroad ,
the object of his ti ip was to personally in
spect the workings of foreign missions.
In speaking of the law prohibiting the
Chinese from coming to America , Bishop
Fowler said it was the most dastardly and
disgusting thing ttiut America over did ,
"and , " ho said , with a slow emphasis ,
which was very impressive , "it will bo paid
for some day by the blood of sonic of Amer
ica's best man. China is not asleep , " ho
said. "They talk little , but they think. In
some of the Interior towns I met Chinamen
who \\ould surprise you by their knowlekgo.
You lowed landeo In China 1' they ask.
YoV I replied. 'Chinaman no lowed to land
in Mulica , ' the reply , -why you lowed come
hero. ' O o man said to mo one day , 'Mo no
Ciisllan or mo sendee you way.1 1 tell .you
they arn thinking and trouble is breeding.
Ttio greatest prince in China said to mo ono
day. 'Wo are looiclng after our homo intc-
icsts now. Ton years will put China in
sliupe , us to her interior arrangements , then
wo will look after her outside in
terests. ' They are making great guns
and ironclads und are manning them. In ten
years a country with one-third of tlio inhab
itants of the globe will no ready to ask what
we meant by trifling with her treaty. "
Hisnop Fowler referred to Japan as ono spot
where missionaries should bo sent HE ,
presenting a greater future than all others.
The work there , ho said , would have to bo
all done within a few years , l-'or heathen
they were in advance ot nil other countries
and were discussing which religion they
should adopt , thu Lutheran of Ger
many or the Episcopal of England.
They had decided against the Catholic
church. The Japanese form of government
should DO considoroJ , Liishop Fowler said ,
next to that of England , although a loyal
American ho considered the best In the
world , for it stood nearer to the will of the
pcoplo than any other.
CHOOSING COX'S SUCCKSSOK.

Nu\v YOHIC , Sept. 10. | Spaclal Telegran
to Tim BHB.J With thu death nnd burial of
S. S. Cox , the subject of the succBssion in
congress lias become u live topic among poli
ticians. With the present strained relations
between the two democratic factions it Is n
question whether they can agree on a candi
date to succeed Cox. Tammany is not ready
to relinquish its grip In congress , but the
county democracy is bent on trying to regain
Bomo of its lost prostiga this fall , nnd pur
suant to that policy means to fight for any
thing nnd everything. Among the uiei
talked of for the vacancy caused by the
death of Cox are ox Uouistor Koilly , Danic
Dougherty , General MoMuhon , cx-Survoyor
Bealtio. Henry Bischof tlio banker , Her
man Oclrichs , Brewer Clausen , Louis
Strokler , ox-faenator Daly , ex-Mayor
Hewitt and Carl Schurz. Ex-Hot ,
ister Hollly is now abroad. Ho is
much talked of by Tammany leaders , but
they fear they cannot induce him to Htund ,
as lie has such large business interests
which demand his personal attention. Tam
many is proud of "Dan" Dougherty , and it
Is generally believed the eloquent lawyer has
political aspirations. Somu of the Tammany
i mm think congress U ttio only place where
Mr. Doughorty's oratorical ability can shine
to advantage , and they need n brilliant
spuaicor there now that W. Hatirko Cockran
is oft the floor.
Carl Schurz and ox-Mayor Hewitt arc , of
course , the men proposed by the county
loaders. Mr. Schuri is very popular with.
tlio German residents of the district.

THE BIGGEST SURPRISE YET ,
A Through 85 Oont Rate From Now

To-Day.
A Itnilrnnd AstonInlicr.
Cnicuno , Sept. 10. Tronic Manager
llnmblln , of the Uurllngton ft Northern , has
In store for the members of the Western
Freight association the biggest surprise ho
has yet sprung.
Tomorrow morning , In the meeting of the
association , ho will announce a through
tariff from Now York to St. Paul on an 85
cent basis.
None of the lines thought there was the
least chance of the eastern roads joining
In the publication of n through tariff , nnd
none of them will know It before tomorrow's
meeting unless notified by the readers of this
dispatch.
Said Mr. Hamblin to your representative
to-night : "It will bo premature to toll be
fore hand the roads which will join us in
publishing the through tariff. Wo will give
prop.er notice to the association to-morrow.
Oil , no ; wo didn't ' have any difficulty in get
ting the eastern lines to publish the tariff.
Yon see , this ono applies at the Intermediate
stations. Because the former ones did not is
the reason the eastern lines refused to pro
rate on northwestern business. I see no
possible objection to the through tariff wo
will announce , especially in view of our re
duction in local fates. Wo have foutjht an !
bled for a eharo of the through business and
will Rot it now. "
To-day's session of the Western Freight
association was given over muinty to the con
sideration of plans to prevent the spread of
the low ist. Paul rates. From tlio peculiar
'y" ' shape of the Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas
City , the top of ono branch being Chicago ,
the top of the other St. Paul , the base St.
Joseph and Kansas City and the junction ,
Oclwoin , it is soon to hold the key to the
situation. The reduction In loeal rates of
S-IJli per cent , must apply proportionately to
Oclwoin. Whether tlio reduction shall ex
tend further on the St. Joseph it Kansas City
stem of the "y" is for thooillcials of tno road
to say. In reference to this
matter , President Sticknoy , who arrived
in Chicago to-day from his European trip ,
would say nothing. Ho realizes keenly ,
however , how fate lias put into his hands a
lover which properly used will turn nn 1m-
mouse quantity of freight to his road. Ho
refused to state his position , however , and
unless something turns up in the meantime
will wait until the " 4th , when tils demand
for a division of the tralllc under the rules of
the Inter-State Commerce Hallway associa
tion will be heard by Chairman Walker. A
member of the latter association said to your
representative to-night :
"Luck is sometimes bettor than sense.
Without lifting n hand the Chicago , St. Paul
& Kansas City has been given the key to the
whole situation.rlho Missouri river lines
arc fairly coining money now , and will con
tinue to do so for six months if the rates
keep up. It is almost wholly in the hands of
the Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas City to say
whether they will or will not. The Iowa
Central runs through Marshulltown , which
may compel the Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas
City to extend the low rates to that point ,
but , thank Providence , wo only have
ono line to deal with west of Marshall-
town. Wo don't pretend to disguise
our anxiety to keep the rates from getting to
the .Missouri river. It will mean disaster to
the most of us. It will bo hard enough
scrubbing with tlio low rates in force at St.
Paul. Of course if the loxv rates got in at
St. Jopoph they must bo made at St. Lnuis ,
Hannibal , Omaha and Kansas City. Then
good-by to our dreams of fat earnings. 1
don't really believe the rates will bo carried
to the Missouri. Of course the , Chicago , St.
Paul & Kansas City would benefit by the
prestige of establishing the low rates , but it
will benefit much more by the tindu wo will
turn over to it for not lowering rates.
Stickney is amenable to reason enough to
see Iho point. "
There is no denying the anxiety felt lest
the Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas City extend
the ieduction to tlio Missouri. It is distinct
ly remembered that the main reason that
road before gave for threatening to extend
the first cut of the Burlington & Northern
to the Missouri was that if they did not do it
voluntarily the Iowa railroad commissioners
would eonipel them to do it. That this fear
may become a reality is perhaps thu main
reason for the present anxiety. The Iowa
commissioners have a way of taking things
in their own hands and it may prove em-
barnsslng for the Chicago , St. Paul &
Kansas City to show why It carries trafllo
on u-ID-cent bails on ono. line and a 70-cent
basis on the other. This matter was thor
oughly ventilated at to-day's mooting of the
Western Freight association and no satis
factory solution could bo given. It was
deemed vain to trust to the leniency of the
Iowa commissioners , as it was fronly hinted
that leniency was not in the commissioner's
vocabulary. Exactly tlio same state of af
fairs had arisen before , and in every case
the commissioners had decided that the low-
cat ruto must bo the maximum rate within
the state.
If the association recovers sufficiently
from the bombshell Mr. Hnmblin will ex
plode to-morrow some other solution of the
dlfilculty may bo found , thouuh the members
freely acknowledge their inability lu that
direction now.

NEW YOIIK , Sopt. 10. When the trial of
Tcnry S. Ives was resumed this morning
Woodruff , the former's ' iseerotary and later
ccrctary ot the Cincinnati , Hamilton &
Jayton road , was called to the witness stand.
Pho witness testified thftl in .Tune , 1SSO , Ivos
old hltn to make out -102,000 shares of stock
of that road , which he did. Five tnoro cer
tificates of 200 shares each were also made
out by him. They werojhll made out In the
names of Clark , ompwycd by tves & Co. ,
aiftl were signed by Sttiynor. On further
examination the witness * eald that Ivos told
ntn ( Woodruff ) that h 3 owed Zimmerman
$100,000 , nnd that the collateral had been do-
minded. Ho ordered Woodruff to make out
1,000 shares ot stock of railroad and deliver
them. This ho did. Wcodruft also testified
to the dcstroylngof the ( toclt lodger by order
of Ivs , and the statement of the latter that
f it fell into outside hands the overissue
ivoiild bo apparent. The witness also tes
tified to receiving from Ives U,800 shares of
stock for cancellation. The district attorney
then asked the witness questions about
entries in his stock ledger. The witness
said ho kept entries of all these transactions
in a small book , which represented tlio com
plete and accurate record of the issue of
stock. The entries which recorded the
fraudulent certificates were then rend to the
jury , after being first Identified by the wit
ness.
Beginning to-morrow the court will hold
dally sessions.
After recess witness stated that 2,000
shares were subsequently handed him by
Ivcs for the ptirposoof cancelling old stock ,
which he did. Twenty , ot these certificates
were identified by "Woodruff. These were
not recorded because there was less stock
available for enncellatlqn than would sulllco
to counterbalance the over issue. Woodruff
told how hound Ives copied off names with'
the aid of a stock transfer book , and cruutod
a new sot of certificates , purporting to be
the ones remaining out , ana showed them to
Mr. Burns , the bank official , as outstanding
certificates. ,

Another Klolc by the Defense on the
Jury Selection.
CniOAfio , Sept. 10. When the Cronin trial
was resumed this morning Lawyer Forrest1
ior the defense , on behalf of Dan Coughlln ,
challenged the special venire of jurymen on
the ground that the regular panel had not
yet been exhausted. Ho said that in the
trials of McDonald and MeGariglo , In the
celebrated boodler trial , which resulted in
their conviction , that every two
weeks they had a regular
panel , which was used up before
the special venire was resumed. "Wo arc
entitled to have n regular pannl every two
weeks , " said Forrest , "and I demand It. "
After a brief discussion , Judge McConnell
sold : "So far as Mr. Forrest's suggestions
are concerned , I see nothing In them what
ever. I believe that this court is sitting as a
separate branch , and controlled independent
of all other branches. A particular judge of
the criminal court had undertaken to
find a jury in this case , and having no
panel at that time bo baa undertaken to get
a Jury by special venire. It is proper for
him to continue to the end with summons by
special venire upon citbons of the county
for jury service. At the same time if the
regular panel were in hero , I would not hesi
tate lor u moment to tender them to you
gentlemen for selection. , At the same tiuio
it would only bo piofprma. I think without
any doubt , that wo luivo a right to proceed
to the end nnd get u Jury by special venire.
But I uin so anxious 0 got a Jury that I
will proceed to any end ill-order to do so. "
The court then overruled the challenge
nnd stated if later on , the defense wanted
that panel brought from the other room they
could have it. Messrs. Donohuo and Foster
also formally made the same motion on be
half of their clients , O'Sullivnn , Kunzo und
Bogus. It was overruled and the customary
exception taken.

of court , the presiding judge having com
plained of the luke wnrmncas of some of the
civil officers in the piosooution of cases ,
owing to throats from bodies of desperadoes
who have been running affairs in that re
gion. The governor has issued a Proclama
tion to the people of Harlem county calling
their attention to thc o facts
and advising them that the troops
uro not Bent to take away any part
of their rights , but to aid in enforcing the
laws made by their own representatives and
bucauso the "civil officers sworn to uphold

covert assistance to the criminal classes.
Murders are perpetrated with impunity and
tlio people have permitted themselves to bo
so torrilied by the lawless acts of a few in
dividuals as to have refused obedience
to the civil authorities in their efforts
to arrest criminals. " The gov
ernor calls upon the citizens to

The Deputy Out on His Own Itccng-
nlxnnco.
Svx FIUKCISCO , Sept , 10. Judge Sawyer ,
in the United States circuit court , this morn
ing rendered a decision In the habeas corpus
case of Deputy Marshal David Naglo , and
discharged Naglo from custody. A bill of
exceptions filed by counsel for the state was
allowed by the court , anil pending appeal to
the United States supreme court Ntiglo was
ordered released on his own. recognizance
with bonds llxed at $5,000.
The decision Is very long. It gives a re
view of the circumstances of the past your ,
Including the throats of Totr.v and his wife ,
which culminated in the recent tragedy' . In
commenting on the subject of jurisdiction
Judge Sawyer says :
'There Is no coulttct between the authority
of the Btato and the United Suite ? . The
stale in such cases is subordinate and the
national government is paramount. There
cut ) bo no doubt that the jurisdiction of tho.
United States is not nffcctod by reason of
the location where the Homicide occurred.
The main quost'ons ' which the court cou-
sldur.s are :
" 1. Was the homicide committed by the
petitioner while netinc in the discharge of
the duty imposed upon him by the constitu
tion and the laws of the United States 1"
" 3. Was tlio homicide necessary or
was It reasonably apparent to the mind of
the petitioner at the time and under the
circumstances then oxiotlng that the killing
was necessary in order to a complete ami
full discharge of his duty !
"J'lio court declares that the marshal Is a
peace officer , so far as keeping the in any
any matter wherein the sovereignty of the
United States is concerned , nnd ho has all
the powers of a sheriff us to suoh matters.
"The court further declares that only a
United States marshal could have performed
the duty of protecting Fields , the use of
state police bom ? impracticable , as the
powers of a sherltT would Imvo ended at the
borders of his own country. "
Judge Sawyer states :
"Atier mature cousidorntlon wo have
reached the conclusion that the homicide in
question was committed by the petitioner
while acting in the discharge of n duty Im
posed upon him bv the constitution and laws
of the United States. "
Judge Sawyer says ho has seen some ad
verse criticism to the effect that Nuglo tired
too quickly , and on this subject closed as fol
lows :
"Naglo was on the scone of action facing
the party making the murderous assault.
Knowing by personal experience his phys
ical powers and his desperate character , und
by general reputation hi * lifelong habit of
carrying arms In readiness to use
them , and his nngry murderous
threats , and seeing his aomoniao looks , his
stealthy assault from behind , and remember
ing the sacred trust committed to his charge ,
Nnglo , in these trying circumstances was
the party to determine when the supreme
moment for action hail come , and if lie hon
estly acted with reasonable judgment
and discretion , the law justifies him
even if ho erred. But who
will have the courage to stand up in the pres
ence of the facts developed by the testimony
in the case and say ho Hrcd the smallest frac
tion of a second too soon. In our own judg
ment ho acted under the trying conditions
suriounding him In good Taith and-with con
summate courapc , judgment nnd discretion.
The homicide was , in our opinion , clearly
Justifiable in law and before the tribunal of
sound practical common sense , couiuiouda-
blo. "
