A Chnnuo in tlio Tactics ol' Its
{ lunlaii Henncit.\ \
PAHIS Sept , 19. | Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tun Bnn. I Since the
electoral campaign the conservative candid
ates and the newspapers which support
them seem to have undergone a veritable-
metamorphosis. Up to n very rccotit day
their attacks upon thu republic wcro as ve
hement as they had over been. That form
of government , they said , was Incompatible
with order and social peace , und that the
majority of Frenchmen wore only waiting
for tbo elections to uttord thorn an oppor
tunity of ridding the country once
for nil , of u regime hold in uni
versal detestation. Kocently , however
over , they 'doubtless became convinced
that the country is not so anxious as they
had believed to overthrow the republic and
confide to royalists , Imperials and Boulan-
gists the task of elaborating a now constitu
tion after having come to an agreement ns to
what sort of u constitution they most deslro.
Consequently they have completely altered
their tone. The leaders of the anti- repub
lican coalition refer with Infinite caution to
the subject of revision In tfroh- professions o
filth. Edouard Ilervo advises the electors
not to lose from their view the fact that the
next chamber will not bo required to
dccldo upon a form of govern
went. Jacques Piou , one of the most
actlvo nnd best known members of the com ,
niittco ot twelve , Is equally cautious , whil
Jules Da Ln Fossa , ono of the foremos
chnuipious of the revision , apparently be
lieves It most prudent not to mention , oven ,
the matter. In n circular bo has recently is
sued. oven Du Cassnngia thinks it advisable
to puttho brakes upon his hauit of anathe
matising the republic. In nn article which
appeared In the Autorito this morning ho
wrote :
"For what are wo fighting at these olec-
tlonsi Is it for a clmngo In the form of the
government ? Not in the least. Hauo
royalists , Imperialists and Boulnngists
joined forces for tbo purpose of
overthrowing the republic 1 No , It would
bo unjust to susuoct them of such a design. '
It is not upon the republic that tha.v are mak
ing war. Their object is moro modest. All
they dcsiro is a change in the men who hold
the reins of government and to make the
policy of tbo republic u conservative policy. "
Compare with thcso declarations ono article
which Cassagnnlc penned loss than n couple
of months ago , nnd the contrast will bo found ,
to nay the least of It , curious. For Instnnco :
just bef oj-o the electoral campaign beuan Cas-
eagnnlo wrote that the republic which ho
avowedly hated would not last longer
than the elections if the revisionists ob
tained the majority. In the same article the i
editor spoke of wringing the neck of the i
"guouso" hln familiar term for the republic
and declared that all the ills from which
Franco was suffering would end with the
republic. Now Cassagnalo nnd his friends
toll the electors ; "His not against the re
public wo are waging war. As for revision ,
it is certainly the principal item in our pro *
gramme , If not all tha programme. It Is the
only idea common to all the allied camps ,
but It Is a matter of too llttlo im
portance to claim your attention at this
moment. Wo accordingly almost ignore it
in our profession of faith , "
The reason for this chance of tactics is
that the conservative candidates are aware
that the country U In no BOIICO Inclined to
follow them In their campaign against the
republic , They have understood that they
lind been ou the wrong truck and arc seek
ing to retrace their steps. *

tioned In the evening papers ns n possible
Cronin suspect , nnd said to bo in the Bride

from a trip to Ireland.

His wife tried to laugh iim ) out of the Idea

Julver , troop A , cavalry.
The camp sutler could stand It no longer ,
and last evening during dress parade hn
packed up his goods and chattels nnd left
'amp ' Grant In Indignant disgust. Through
some means , known only to those most In
terested , he succeeded in incurring the dls-
Iko of the Chadron company and the boys
could not , or would not , resist the Impulse
to worry the sutler to. the verge of distruc-
ion. Only a day or so ago they oponctl up a
bombardment on him with bailed potatoes.
The sutler consequently deemed his life in
d 11 tiger , and lust evening secured a guard and
ivlth the aid of four or flvo drays
abandoned Camp Grant to starvation , so
'ar us his establishment Is concerned.
It Is vaguely hinted that tno agcrlov/cd / sut
ler has engaged counsel nnd will RUO the
state for several hundred dollars damages.
The trouble nroso from alleged exorbitant
charges for1 Ills goods , which the boys claim
ihey could buy at his down-town establish
ment at prices from fiO to 100 per cent less
than ho asked for the same goods In c.unp.
The First regiment band gave a grand
nstrumental concert in the town last night ,
which was listened to by un immense throng
of people. A largo number of the soldiers
wore also in town miring the evening , and it
is n pleasure to note that they conducted
themselves like gentlemen. Not a National
uardsman has been arrested in the city
thus far for n misdemeanor by thu city po-
co. As a whole the state soldiers seem to
.lossess every quality of perfect gentlemen ,
and bavo won scores of friends by their
manly conduct while in thu city nnd'camp. .
In the vicinity of Camp Grant are numerous
orchards , laden with fruit , and one or two
vineyards. Neither of them have been dis
turbed in the slightest degree by the boys.
A few watermelon patches have been raided ,
but the raiders wore ) us likely to bo mis
chievous town urchins as the soldiery.
The First Heglment band oamo down town
this morning nnd honored the Daily Express
oflleo with n serenade.
The city was thronged to-day with visitors
from all quarters of the state , to witness thu
"Uuttloof Paddock Hill. " Excursion trains
en in o in on all the roads , bringing with them
their quota of sightseers. The only casual
ties during the affair wcro a cavalry man nnd
ono of General Colby's aides being dis-
mountnd bv their horses stumbling in n hole.
The light was witnessed by several thousand
people. The schools nnd banks were closed
in honor of the event. General Colby nnd

Mr. Tanner is not ngltutlng what might bo
called his grievances ,
Ho is very much cut up by what has trans
pired , nnd his friends have been doing all the
work In the direction of securing for him tlio
losltion of recorder of deeds. In fact Mr.
Tanner has never been away from his own
residence since the dny ho closed up his af
fairs nt the pension ofllcc. Ho has not been
oncbomo , however , us ho Is visited every
.lay and evening by Grand Army friends nnd
those who want to sco him squared before
the public. It Is not likely that the retiring
commissioner will accept the invitation of
Governor Fornker to como out and stuuio
Ohio curing the present campaign. Mr.
Tanner Is not exactly in u wood to do any
stumping at present , and unwarranted con
clusions might bo drawn If ho went into the
Ohio campaign nt this particular lime.

Tlin FUTUIIE PENSION 1'OMCV.
Thcro Is a good deal of Interest felt hero ns
to the future policy of the pension ofllco
under the r.oxt commissioner , All the load
ing-Grand Army mini , ineludlng those who
have been spoken of for the commissloner-
shlp , are in layer of the policy incorporated
under Tanner as far us it relates to the treat
ment of the soldiers , and they reserve their
opinion as to the dismissal of Tanner until they
ascertain whether that involves also u clmngo
of policy. If the same liberality is to bo fol
lowed in the matter of granting nnd rerat-
ing pensions , they will be entirely satisfied
with the action of the president. At present
there is n great deal of uncertainty ns to tlio
course that will bo followed in tlio pension
office. Mr. Smith , the acting commissioner ,
and Assistunt Secretary Bussoy have
evinced n disposition to take a back track ,
and it has been vamiely reported that they
liad reversed some of the most liberal rulings
made by Mr. Tanner. It is believed by tbo
Grand Army men , however , that when n
now commissioner is installed in ofllco ho
will put in force all these liberal rulings ,
und that they will have nothing to complain
of. With u Grand Army man of distinction
at the head of the ofllco no other policy will
bo possible.
CU1110US MISAPrilEIICSSIONS.
There is u curious misanprohension in cer
tain quarters regarding the International
American congress , und the stuto depart
ment is receiving a great many letters in
quiring us to the number of delegates the
differnnt states are entitled to , and as to the
compensation they will receive. Notification
has also been received from several states
that persons have been appointed by the
governors us delegates nnd the sumo write
to ask when their duties will commence nnd
what they will consist of. Among other
communications was the following received
to-day by the secrelar.v of state :
CiiiCAno , Sept. 10,1SSO. Sir : I have been
named witli others by the executive commit
tee of the association of the United
States to wait upon the governor of Illinois
to request him to recognize our manufactur
ing interests m naming delegates to the con
ference ot representatives from the South
American republics to bo hold in the city of
Washington , D. C. , in October , 16-S9 , with u
view of arranging for a congress to bo hold
In 1S'J2 , to promote and- encourage closer
commercial relations between tno South
American republics and this coun
try in pursuance with nn act of
congress , etc. Wo are informed that Gov
ernor Fifer has not yet been ofllcinlly re
quested by the department of state to ap
point any delegates to said conference. If
it is the spirit of the act of co'igress ' to have
every state In the union represented In said
conference , aside from the ten delegates
appointed by the president , I would respect
fully suggest thai the governor of Illinois bo
authorised nnd requested through the proper
channel to appoint delegates to said confer
ence.
Please pardon mo for addressing you upon
this subject. The deep Interest I take in
this matter must bo my only excuse for
making this suggestion.
There will bo no delegates admitted to
this congress. It is a diplomatic body and
t ho act of congress authorizing it limits the
representation on the part of the United
States to the ton appointed by the president
for tlio country at largo.
A good many people seem to have got the
conference which meets In October mixed up
with the exposition that is to bo held in 1802.
Ono gentleman writes to the state depart
ment asking that spnco bo reserved for him
to start a candy factory at tlio International
American congress , and another gentle
man desired to know whether no
and his wife could accompany
the delegates upon their excursion. Ho said
that ho intended to travel in South America
shortly , und wants to make the acquaintance
of the delegates und got some practice in
talking Spanish by associating with them.
Sovcral applications have been received
from business hoiuos for tickets for the use
of drummers on this tram , the writers appar
ently thinking that tlie excursion would con
sist entirely of merchants , who had couio to
this country to purchase goods.
Among other curious requests comes ono
from St. Louis from u gentleman who de
sires to make the opening address in con
gress. As all of the loiters are answered in
u respectful manner , ho was Informed Unit
Mr. Blaine had boon selected fur that duty.
The depnrtinonfof state has leased ono of
the handsomest residences in the city for
the use of the congress. It is perhaps the
largest private house , with ono exception , in
Washington. The ball room will bo used for
the meeting of the congress , and the f > pa-
clouH parlors will bo used as consultation
rooms , where the delegates can make them-
salvos ut homo. The upper rooms will bo
used for the secretaries and stenographers.
Charles W. Cocker has been appointed
storekeeper In the Thirteenth Illinois dis

Voting Commissioner Stnno Sutnnlts
the Annual Slimvluir.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 10 , The minunl report
nf the acting commissioner of tlio general
nnd oflleo , William M. Stotio , has been sub-
nit ted to the secretary of the interior. In
opening his report Stone refers to the accu-
nulation of business in the oflleo , which had
Docn loft over from former administrations ,
and which was partly iluo to the Increasing
work of the local Innd ofllcoi. The system
.11 . force , ho says , \vas \ not jiromotlvo of the
speedy dispatch of business , especially in
.ho cnso of the board of review , crc.Uod by
Commissioner Spark ? , which ho abolished
ns a hindrance to good , safe and quick work
n the ofllco , Commenting un Mr. Sparits *
'unfortunate and unwarranted suspicions
that a wldo spread system of fraud pre
vailed , " Mr. Sparks asserted that "tho
proportion of fraudulent filings to the total
lumber of tilings made nnd relinquished may
jo estimated in round numbers at onu in n
hundred. " Mr. Stone says : "Tho whole-
gala arraignment of claimants on the public
domain should not have been mndo without
nostconclusive evidence to sustnln It. " The
report goes ou to say that no general mis
conduct on the part of western settlers hud
been found. During the year TO , 141 agri
cultural patents wcro Issued , covering 11-
T'.U.llD acres of land , nn Increase over the
urccoilltiir.\niir of moro than thrco million
icrcs. Mineral patents to the number of
Mil , covering an area of 17,0'D ' ) acres , weio
issued. There were patented for llio benefit
of railroads , under the law , 4:25,0lt : ( acres ,
and under swamp land grants to the
states Ti9Jl ucros. State selections
under educational grant * wcro approved to
the extent of itt)5U ; ; ) acres , and lands to In
dians patented under various nets to the
amount of 15U.310 acres.
The total cash receipts ol the oftleo from
sales or land und fees wcro $9'JTO,2-jri , a ile-
crease of more than f'J.OJO.OOO as compared
with the previous year.
During thu year surveys wore accepted to
the amount of-1,554u ; j acres , principally In
Dakota , Montana aim New Mexico.
Mr. Stone calls attention to "coHnln al
lowances made to deputy surveyors by the
first comptroller of the treasury In the years
1SSH and 1S87 , which , in my opinion , were
grossly irregular and n palpable usurpation
if the powers and duties specially belonging
lo the commissioner of the general land
onlco. "
Tlio report reforn to the unsettled condi
tion of private land claims m New Mexico
and Arizona , and the urgent need of con
gressional action to scttlo the titles in these
territories.
Koferriiig to the act of March n , 1SS7 , which
authorizes tno secretary ol the interior to ud-
| ust each of the railroad gr.ints , and if nny
had been erroneously certilled or patented
Lo commence proccouings to cancel them , the
report status that of the pending selections
21,000,311 ! acres hud been suspended , awaiting
action by congress.
Attention is called to the fact that moro
than eighty million ncrcs have been claimed
under the swamp land act In various states.
Florida nlono , while having a total area of
97,951,710 acres , has lists filled for ! M.-2l.-IG9 !
acres as swampy land. "Thero can bo no
doubt , " says Iho report , "that large quanti
ties of land , amounting to millions of acres ,
tiavo boon patented to the states erroneously
ns swamp lands , when in fact they wcro and
are good agricultural lands. "
The work of examining ox parto the min
eral entries is said to bo two and a half
years in arrears. The report recommends
that when tlio homestead or a pre-emption
claimant receives patent and mineral is dis
covered subsequently on his claim , hi.s cor-
titlcato of entry shall act us a bar to
any mining claim upon tlio discovery made
subsequent to the entry. The report recom
mends the repeal of all laws relating to public
timber , and the enactment of a general law ,
[ ilinti , concise nnd unmistakable in meaning.
Fpwer fraudulent entries have been made
during the year than for many years past ,
owing to the increased vigilance , but several
cases are mentioned in the report where syn
dicates sought to obtain coal lands by fraudu
lent means , and in ono case , had they suc
ceeded , the commission Alone would have
amounted to ? 350,000.
The opening of Okluhomu Is referred to ns
tbo most important event for nevcral years
in the administration of the land olllee.

10 followiiiu- points :
1. The retention of nn elective railway
commission.
2. The maintcnnnco of the present rail
road law , with such amendments as may bo
needed to make it moro restrictive and efil-

4. The enforcement of the ont'uo law la

Each replies at sonio length , giving for the
most part assent to the propositions sug
gested. Senator Hutchison thinks thu only
additional power which thu commissioners
need is the power to llx joint rates. Ho is
sutlsilod with the present railroad law , and
