Ncbranka postmasters finally got two
fourth-class postmasters today out of a list
of 1SW. of which number of appointments
forty-nine represented removals.
There appears to bo a hitch In tbo Ne
braska postoillco changes-a delay beyond
the matter of reaching tint state. It is
surmised that the question of who shall
name the postmasters In certain districts
and counties has not been determined anil
that It will not he until ox-Governor Boyd
has hail his conference with President
ClovoIaiHl next week.
lsi'brasun'9 appointment of postmasters
todaj were as follows : Armour , Pawnee
countA ,1. Wcstgato , vice ; W. J. Carter
resigned ; Murdock , Cass county. A. Xabcl ,
vice F I less , resigned.
Mr UManro of I'.iwnoo City , who has
held a position in tno house under Hopre-
KPiitativo Bryiin. Is out. Ho has been trying
to ( ret a position under Secretary Morton ,
but has bc n respectfully referred to Mr.
Bryan.
rushing Ainxrlriin Corn ,
"Instead of curtailing the work of intro
ducing American corn In Kuropo the Depart
ment of Agriculture intends to push it with
greater visor. " said Secretary Morton to
Tun UM ; correspondent today. "An Impres
sion has gone out , " continued the secretary ,
"that th" department is determined to
Abridge its work of Introducing corn as n
food product in Kuropo because Miavo called
Colonel U. .1. Murphy or 'Corncako Murphy , '
as lie is nicKnai.ied over her , for consuita
tion. Colonel Murphy has been doing splen
did work in ( iermany and Knglnml es-
peciallv. and it is due largely to bis labors
that our export of corn and its products has
been immensely increased during the past
year or two. Hereafter the Depart
ment of Agriculture intends issu
ing every Saturday si'inu litera
two , some statement of fuels , which
will educate the people of cur country and
Kuropo in the consumption of our corn as
food. We have been doing this by the
tongue In Knropo through Murphy and now
wo will add statements through the daily
press. The people can study what wo say
on Sundays when they have time. 1 have
great hopes for the future of our corn crop.
Our farmers will soon make more money
from it , and the people the world over wil'
he blessed by a larger consumption of It as
food. Our boys talk u great deal about join-
lug g.MiinaKiums and athletic clubs for their
health. I tell my boys that health begins
below the belt. They ought to cat whole
some food.
"Corn pro-lurid are among the hoalthles
we have. 1 do not speak of corn as one win
kii'iws nothing of It for my sons are inter
ested in one of the most extensive corn con
sinning institutions in the countiy. We
manuluctviiT at. our mills in Nebraska
enormous quantities of hominy , grits , con
meal , starch and other [ .roducts which may
come from corn.
Moru Coolo * IC < Mtili-Ml |
"Tho linnn part of our work of introducing
corn products in Europe has been the meagei
preparation for demonstrating by nctiia
cooking what we can make from corn. V > '
need more cooks to make llap Jacks , pan
cakes , corn bread , mush and the like. The ;
.should be located In all the largo cities o
Kuropo and the continent.
Wo arc now putting up 10-ccnt package :
of these products for domestic consumption
It is comparatively easy to introduce a gooi
article abroad when It comes in such access !
bio form. Knglish consumers of our com
products are trying to establish grist am
iiomlny mills In their country. Wo 'mus
do the manufacturing in this country am
export the products ready for consumption
not only because it employs our labor mil
because it gives the consumers n bette
article of food. Corn is hard to export i
bulk , It sweats and easily becomes to musty
to make palatable food. By pushing thl :
work of Introducing our corn into Kuropo
few years longer it will not only carry itself
nut make for our farmers one of the most
prolltablo crops we noiv produce. This will
be ono of the uluis of the present adminis
tration. "

Daniel W. Manilla of North Dakota , who

on the Indian commisslonership. He called
upon the president today and inquired what
was to bo done for North Dakota since so

Maratta says the president observed that ho
had North Dakota in itiiud , remembering the
democratic strides the slate had taken and
that he would soon do something handsome
for her. Mr. Maratta takes this intimation
us ominous of good for him inasmuch as his
implication for the Indian commisslonership
was mentioned in the same connection.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , April S.-Sccretary
Morton has already begun to realize seine of
the vexalfons attending the ilUtrlbutlon assigned -
signed by law to the Department of Agri
culture. Seeds men arc anxious to know
what Is to bo the policy of the department
In regard lo the purchase of seeds for distri
bution , and In reply to Inquiries addressed to
him on the subject , Secretary Morton has
said that his pollci would bo to purcluso
seeds grown In the Unite ; ! States In the
open market , the quality of the seed nnd the
urlcc being the only questions ho would con
sider.
"To get the host sneds for the least
money , " IIP said , "is the object in view , nnd
to this end I invite the widest competition
on the part of seed men the world over , and
I trust lhat the growers of the best seed of
all plants available for American agri
culture , in whichever part or the world they
may he , will seek to supply us ; for , In spite
of the limitations and burdens Imposed by
Iho McKlnloy bill on nil foreign products ,
regardless of the needs of our people , a
special clause In the hill provides probably
lo save the foreigner from paying the tax
'that no pints , trees , shrubs , seed canes and
seo.tB imported by the Department of Agri
culture , shall bo admitted free. If the gov
ernment Is going to continue In the business
of sued distribution , however , I cannot see
why it should not go a stop further than
now and grow the seeds itself , and thus do
away with the middle men's profits , which ,
according to all farmers , are ono of the
heaviest burdens imposed upon them.

SECRETARY SMITH TAKES ACTION

n i'nrro to Imllnii Territory Agent
llMinttt Mnkca n KcpiiM on
the Sltimtlun ,
WASIIIXOTO.V , D. C. , April 8. Secretary
lloltc Smith lias received a ilutiilleil report
from Agent Uennutt of Uiu Uulon agency on
the present trouble between tbo naliuns of
the Choutiiw nation. After repented con-
ferunccs unit such Investigation as lie was
.iblo to inalcu.the agent says hu Is thoroughly
convinced that the mllltla , iictitu ? under
Governor Jones' order , were the aggressors ,
and that the other party , commonly called
the Incite party , the aggrieved. The latter ,
after listening to the agent's advice , pro-
nosed to surren lor at once their
arms If ho could promlso to pro
tect them from the mllltla. This
oiTer , Agent Hi'iinntt of course could
not accept. The Ixu'ko party declared that
they were peaceable , law-abiding Indians ,
chaffed with no offense , and that they were
ready to surrender to any proper ofllcer of
their nation ; that they had been unwillingly
driven to b.ind themselves together as a mu
tual guard against murder by the militia ,
which , they declared , was led by their most
bitter personal and political enemies ; that the
militia had murderously assaulted them and
their wives and children in their homes ,
wrecked and ruined their property , tit-
tempted their lives , dialed their wives ,
mothers and children from tneir homes and
otherwise grievously and wantonlx wronged
them. They also said that it was not their
'mention to attack the militia , but simply to
'efend themselves against further assaults
nd outrages.
\Voiiltl l ( Judicial .Murder.
Agent Bennett afterward talked with the
aptains of the militia , who iiiestioneil | his
luthority to inquire Into the disturbances
, nd Governor Jones also questioned the
, ient's right to be present or to Inquire into
ho matter , which ho said was a matter
'oncoming ' the Choetaw people only , and
hat the United States had no risrht to in-
erfere. After an elaborate review of the
ivholo situation Agent ISennott concludes
liat the calling out of the militia
: iy Governor Jones to arrest Willis
Jones was unnecessary and unlawful ,
mil that the contllct precipitated by them
was the act of a drunken , irresponsible mob ,
uaniled together as a militia for the purpose
of murdering men , women and children ,
thereby removing their political opponents
mil intimidating others in order to per-
Actuate the power of the parties at present
, n authority ; that m.tny of the aggressors
were so intoxicated as to be unable to sit
upon their horses ; that they shot promiscu
ously Into public and private buildings , oc
cupied in some cases by women and children ,
and that , in short , the acts of the militia
were more like those of wild bo.ists than of
human beings. Agent Uennett also believes
that the Choetaw govern'iicnt will never
bring these would-be murderers to a trial ,
but will uphold them in their unlawful acts ,
mil Unit it would bo assisting in a so-called
judicial murder to permit the militia to make
arrests in the ( Jhoetaw nation. In view of
these facts lie strongly urges that the na
tion bo placed under martial law.
Secretary Smith , acting under th ; au
thority of the treaty of IbOT , which provides
that "tho United States shall protect the
hoctaws and Uhlekasaws from domestic
strife , " has requested the secretary of war
to at once send a detachment of troops to
the scene of the threatened trouble to main
tain the peace and protect life and property.
riCIUUTS TO CUT TIUIIKK.
Secretary Smith's Decision In the lllg lllnck
Font Coiniruiy'it Cane *
WASIIISOTOX , D. C. , April 8. Secretary
Ilnko Smith today rendered a decision on the
question of revoking the permits recently
granted to the Uig Ulnck Fo-t Milling com
pany and the IJitter Hoot Developing com-
piny to cut fi'J per cent of the timber from
government land in Montana. The decision
is important , as It Indicates what the policy
of the government will bo as to the preserva
tion of the western forests. The tract se
lected by the llrst nameJ co.-np.my w.is a
narrow strip extending fifty or sixty miles
up both sides of the Uig Black Foot river.
The then secretary granted the lirat permit
to cut January 10 , 18'J2 ' , and upon a second
application this permit was extended Febru
ary ! KI , 1S)3 ! ) , to about twenty sections. Sec
retary Smith finds that this last permit was
illegally granted , inasmuch as tin1 require
ment as to advertising was not complied [
with. After giving a brief history of the
transaction ho llnds that the facts require
the permit to he revoked , but lie says there
is an additional reason deserving attention.
" t'lio permit was granted , " ho says !
' within a few days before the end of the
' term of the former administration. It ap
plied to more sections of land than had ever
been covered by any permit heretofore
granted. It extended for many miles through
a large territory , applying to the sections of
timber most easily made accessible- mar
ket. Is it wise to extend such privileges tea
a single company f Is it desirable to so has
ten the destruction of the forests of our
countryf
"These questions must certainly cause
doubt as to the-advisability of this permit ,
even though no other objection existed and |
the petition to rescind the order of revoca
tion is denied.
"Wliilo ssriously doubting whether oven i
an extension of time to cut from sections
covered by a permit should bo allowed with
out a now advertisement , still the company '
has acted upon the course pursued on the )
petition by this department and serious in
convenience may now bo entailed on the
puiilie unless some concessions are made for
the present season.
"it is therefore directed that the Big
Black Foot Milling company and the Bitter
Kuot Development company each bo allowed 1
to select four sections from the number of
those covered by the permit of January 10 ,
Ib'J'J , and that a permit issue according
to the permit of February L'll , Ib'JII , to allow
said company to cut from the sections se
lected until January 1 , 1801. Each section
selected must bo a full section in length and
width. "

WAIIIIXOTOX , I ) . 0. , April S. [ Special
Tek-gram lo Tun Hr.n. ] Army oftleers say
they cannot expect to have soft places under
Colonel I imont's administration. The sec
retary of war Is determined to break up the
practice , ns far as the needs of the service
will permit , of placing so many of them upon
detached service or duty uway from their
regiments nnd posls. This practice has in
years grown , until of late many companies
were almost depleted of their own olllcers ,
who were away upon some other service.
The World's fair has an attraction in the
eye of many of them , who are willing to
spend the summer al Chicago In some ca
pacity connected with their profession and
to carry out their wishes applications by
the hundreds have been sent to the
department requesting this detail. The
secretary has decided lo refuse all such re
quests and from now on no more details will
be made. Lieutenant Dupr.iy was the last
ofllcer detailed for this duty , and H was said
today that no further orders to army olllcers
would be made in connection with the fair.
( ii'iH'rull ut I.UK
Those who have doubted the existence of a
broach between General SehonVld and Gen-
erni Miles would probably change their
minds should the latter care to make public
a letter he has recently received from army
headquarters. The particulars are those :
Some days ago , when the llrst tro .blus In
the Choctaw nation were reported , lieneral
Miles was instructed by ( ! encril : Scholleld to
detail an ofllcer under his command to in
vestigate the mailer. A few dajs Inter
( iencral Scholleld wns much surprised to
learn that General Miles had selected Col
onel Townsend , commandant of the Infantry
nnd cavalry school at Fort Lcavcnworth ,
for this duty. The occasion for the surprise
was that General Miles should go outside
of Ills jurisdiction to select an ofllcer who ,
according to regulations , was known to be
under the immediate Jurisdiction of army
lieadquaiters. Colonel Townsend was imme
diately advised by General Heholield not to
obey the order , and the same day thf mulls
carried a letter to General Miles reminding
him that the Fort Leaven worth school ami
its olllcers came under the immediate juris
diction of army headquarters , and that ho
had exceeded his authority In giving orders
to Colonel Townsend. In the same letter the
order originally directing him to name an
oflieer to be sent to the Choctaw nation was
revoked. The department took steps through
other sources to learn the condition of af
fairs among those Indians.

ImproUni ; 1'ump Kqulpp-iKe.
General Brooke has exercised Ills inventive
genius in making some very practical im
provements on what is known as the Sibloy
tent , used a great deal in the army.
! Ho has conceived the idea of mak-
ing one piece of material servo the
purpose of ; i center polo nn 1 n
stove pipe for the tent. The stove pipe is
i made of heavy boiler iron and stands on
three strong legs , giving tin opportunity to
take the stove out of the tent when desired
without disturbing the tent pole. There is
also a screen on top of the pipe at the apex
of the tent to prevent large sparks from lly-
ing out and alighting on the tent. The gen-
cral has had a miniature model made and it
may be seen in the olllce of the aides at mili
tary headquarters.
Captain Charles A. Donipsoy nf the See-
end infantry has been granted a leave of ab-
sunce for ono month with permission to
, apply to the adjutant general of the army
for an extension of one mouth.
