WASHINGTON , Aug. 1.
Pull of Importance to American wheat
growers ami mills la a special report made
to tlic State department by Consul Lnthrop
at lirlntol , Kn . He gays : "Tlio new fiscal
arrangements established in France early In
tlio year with regard to tlio duty on wheat
nnil Hour are already beginning to liavu an
effect on the export of ( lour to tlic United
Kingdom. It will bo remembered that the
duty on whent mid flour was considerably
Increased In France , the avowed object being
to make the country self-supporting nnd to
Increase production to such am extent as to
prevent the Introduction of foreign growths.
"A result of tlilH policy , which , perhaps ,
was not foreseen by the French government ,
is now observable In vigorous and determined
effort on the pnrt of the French millers to
supply the British market with Hour. All
grades , from 'red dog * up to a product which
will compare well with the finest winter
patents , are being vigorously pushed at
prices which nt the present moment , grade
tor grade , are 1 shilling n Back cheaper
( linn American. Their best grades are bcau-
tlful In color , resembling the Oregon flours
to much admired hero ; but they cannot
compare In strength and will not bake Into
to heavy a loaf. It Is generally believed
the flour Is made from Imported wheats ,
and that the drawbacks upon re-exportation
In the shape of Hour Is BO regulated as re
ally to amount to a considerable bounty. If
this bo the case ( and It Is dllllcult otherwise
to account for the dimensions already reached
by the trade ) It Is evident that our Aincrl-
oan flour will have to meet an energetic ,
organized nnd bounty-fed competition. It
Js believed that thereIs a combination among
the French millers to limit domestic sales ,
< hus maintaining domestic prices. The re-
cult of such a policy , taken In connection
with the payment of a drawback , Is cor-
Mln. A largo surplus stock will be dumped
Into the United States , at a loss If need bo. "
INTUUDBHS SAFE FOR THE 1'IIESENT.
It Is doubtful whether the provisions of
the recent decision of Assistant Attorney
Ooneral Hall respecting citizenship in the
Cherokee Indian nation will ever be carried
out by the Interior department. There are
between 30,000 and 40.000 Intruders In the
nation to be removed by the government , n
work which could be accomplished only by
strong military aid. There are no tunds at
present to Justify the appraisement of the
Improvements by tlio Intruders , which Is re
quired to be done bcforu their ejectment Is
fcsgun.
An amendment to the Indian appropriation
bill setting apart $4.000 for the cost of ap
praisement will probably be made , but no
plan whatever for the actual ejectment of
these Intruders has been outlined.
Sharp Nose , nn Arapahoe Indian chief of
"Wyoming , has been deemed by the house
pension committee worthy of a pension of
$12 a. month lor hla services to the govern
ment as a scout In leading the attack on the
Tillage of hostile Chcyennes In the Big
Horn mountains In November , 1S7C , and on
other occasions. Ho Is now broken In health
nnd the committee decided to report a bill for
him. Introduced by Representative ColTeen.
Tapers are on file signed by 1'rcsldent Gar-
fleld. Qenearls Howard , Crook and Brooke ,
recommending Sharp Nose for government
aid. Western representatives say that pen-
sitins to friendly Indians liavo always proved
coed Investments.

tion of money for use of sectarian Indian
schools.

AVILL , EXPERIMENT IN SIUC.
At a meeting today the house committee
on agriculture voted to make a favorable re
port on the bill providing for the establish
ment of experimental stations for silk cul
ture In the United States. The bill , which
has already been passed by the senate , pro
vides Uiut there shall bo five experimental
stations located In different sections of the
country , and appropriates $0,000 for the use
of each establishment. The stations are to
bo located under the direction of the sec
retary of agriculture , and It is very likely
that If the bill becomes a law one of them
vrtll bo located In the state of Nebraska.
Congressman Halner , who has been working
very diligently on this bill , was very much
pleased this morning with the action taken
by the committee.
The conference- report on the bill pro-
hiding for u resurvcy of Grant und Hooker
counties was today called up In the house

WASHINGTON , Aug. 1. The main ques
tion before the senate today was the sundry
civil hill , which was dlscusrcd at odd mo
ments throughout the day , with the result
that a great many Important amcndmeittx
were adopted. Final action on the bill was
not reached , however , owing to the large
number of amendments proposed.
A number ot bills -were pasted , among
them belli ? n house bill extending the tlmo
for paying for purchases of land of the
Omnha tribe of Indians In Nebraska ,
Consideration of the sundry civil appro
priation bill won resumed , and many unim
portant amendments were adopted. Mr.
Chandler of New Hampshire- offered An
amendment providing that the decision of
the commissioners of immigration In regard
to mlmlfiflon of aliens should bo final , and
nlso that the commissioners of Immigration at
the several ports should bo appointed by
the president "by the advice and consent of
the senate , " arid that they should hold olllcc
four years. The amendment was adopted.
An amendment was adopted at the In
stance of Mr. Allen of Nebraska appropriat
ing $1C,000 for the re-survey of Grant and
J looker counties.
Consideration of this bill was Interrupted
to allow Mr. Berry of Arkansas to present u
conference report on the house bill requiring
railroad companies operating lines In terri
tories over rights ot way granted by the
government to locate depots , etc. , at certain
Beats located by the Interior department.
Mr. Berry announced after n long confer
ence the conferees had been unable to agree ,
nnd moved that the senate recede from Its
amendments. The provision applies to the
Rock Island railroad In Oklahoma , the towns
of Round Pond nnd South Enid having n
special grievance against It.
Mr. Blackburn of Kentucky opposed the
motion because he said It would be unjust to
require the Rock Island road to expend $10-
000 In the erection of depots at these towns ,
when they already had stations located at
older towns within two nnd a half miles of
the place.
The discussion of the conference report
was then resumed and Mr. Teller of Colorado
rado favored the motion of Mr. Berry to
recede -from the senate amendment. He
would like , he sold , to tnko the railroad com
pany by the throat and teach It that the
senate of the United States was not to bo
trifled with.
ROCK ISLAND MUST BUILD STATIONS.
Mr. Harris of Tennessee spoke In the same
strain , and said the company ought to be
compelled to glvo these towns passenger and
freight facilities. The motion was also sup
ported by Mr. Palmer. Mr. Platt of Con
necticut spoke In opposition to the motion , for
ho contended that there was no county seats
nt these towns , and therefore It would be
unjust to compel the roads to stop their
trains there.
A hot discussion followed , In which Mr.
Platt , Mr. Teller nnd Mr. Berry took pnrt , as
to the lawless nets which had been perpe
trated. Mr. Berry stated that the people
had been law abiding until the railroad con
tinually violated the law.
The vole was then taken on Mr. Berry's
motion , nnd It was adopted 21 to 20.
At the request of Mr. Harris of Tennessee
the house bill to exempt the articles of for
eign exhibitors at the Interstate fair at Tacoma -
coma , Wash. , from tariff duties was passed.
Consideration ot the sundry civil bill was
then resumed , nnd on motion of Mr. Power of
Montana nn amendment was Incorporated In
the bill appropriating $300,000 for the con
struction of Fort Harrison , Mont.
The committee amendment striking out the
paragraph authorizing the secretary of war
to designate a confederate veteran of the
battle of Chattanooga or Chickamauga to
assist In preparing the historical tablets to
bo erected on these battlefields was re
scinded. An amendment was adopted
authorizing the secretary of war to employ
u representlvo of the Army of Northern
Virginia ( confederate ) who fought at Gettys
burg battlefield.
An appropriation of"$4,000 to protect the
salmon fisheries of Alaska was added to the
bill at the Instance of Mr. Teller.
Mr. Dubols of Idaho offered an amendment
increasing the appropriation for surveying
public lands from $275,000 to $400,000. and
to this Mr. Allen of Nebraska sought to
add a provision for the Irrigation and sur
vey of arid and semi-arid lands and appro
priating $100,000 for the purpose. The for
mer amendment was agreed to nnd the latter
was left pending nn adjournment.
The reuort of the conference committee
on the agricultural bill , In which the con
ferees .igreod to recede from the amendment
appropriating $1,000,000 for the extermina
tion of the Russian thistle , was agreed to.
At B:45 : the senate adjourned , leaving the
civil bill still pending.

CAMP LINCOLN , SUPERIOR , Neb. , Aug.
1. ( Special to The Bee. ) A rain storm at
a Grand Army of the Republic reunion Is
usually an unwelcome guest , but last night's
shower was received without a murmur of
distent. The long prayed for rain will make
the reunion crowd Increase as well as the
corn crop , and Immense crowds are expected
Thursday und Friday. As It Is , In spite of
the discouraging crop prospects , the attend
ance Is larger than on the same day ot the
week of any previous year. Today's crowd
aggregated betwcet 12,000 and 15,000.
The people continue to pour In with each
train , nnd one of the numerous bands awaits
the arrival of each train to welcome the
newcomers. Every now nnd then another
canvas-covered prairie schooner rolls Into
camp with Its load of bedding and utensils ,
to say nothing of several generations of
children. The canvas city already contains
over COO tents , not counting the large can
vases which arc used for headquarters.
Every one Is awake with the sunrise gun ,
and before the cocks are through' crowing
the whole camp Is nllvo and the breakfast
fires begin to smoke. The camp Is laycd out
In long avenues , which are named after the
prominent generals of the wnr. Camp Lin
coln Is just 'on the edge of a little grove ,
and the approach to the camp has been ap
propriated by the sideshows and fakirs.
The water supply comes from the city water
works , and is distributed at convenient
places.
This was Relief Corps day and the camp
has been turned over to the women. Their
part In the late war Is recognized by setting
apart a day to the Clara Bartons und Flor
ence Nightingales of ' 61 and ' 65. Forming
nt their headquarters and preceded by the
band , they inarched to the speakers' stand In
the grove. The morning's program was
opened with "America , " after which the
chaplain , Mrs. Wood , offered n prayer. Mrs.
J. D. Stein , on behalf of the ladles of Su
perior , spoke a few cordial words of wel
come. This was responded to by Mrs. Wood ,
the department president , who assured the
ladles of Superior that their courtesy was
appreciated , nnd spoke feelingly of the patri
otic part played by the women of the Relief
Corps. After singing the "Star Spangled
Banner , " the meeting adjourned until after
dinner , when they gathered again to listen
to an address by General Campbell of Kan
sas.
sas.GENERAL
GENERAL CAMPBELL'S TRIBUTE.
General Campbell paid a tribute to the
Woman's Relief Corps and particularly to
the Department of Kansas , whore they have
done so much good as auxiliary of the Grand
Army of the Republic. He spoke of the re
lation of the Grand Army of the Republic
to politics and argued that politics should be
no criterion ot elllgiblllty to membership of
the Grand Army of the Republic The Grand
Army , he said , Is a unique society In one
respect , that It Is not s > elf perpetuating ; that
some day It must completely disappear. But
preservers of this republic must not bo for
gotten. Like the Huguenot captain who ,
pierced with a bullet , made the dying re
quest that his name should always be called
with the roll of his company , and his com
rades should answer that he died on the
field of battle , the veteran of the civil war
wishes his name placed on the roll of the
Sons of Veterans , nnd when called his son
shall answer that he died In good standing
In the Grand Army of the Republic.
Ho was followed by Mrs. Wilson of Beat
rice , who humorously referred to the posi
tion of women who aided In saving the repub
lic , and could not refrain at times from let
ting her political tendencies show them
selves. She roasted Secretary Hoke
Smith to a turn , and now and then
gave her male hearers a dig on the suffrage
question. She was followed by the past
president of the Woman's Relief Corps , who
told what that society of 130,000 members
Is doing In Its work In the cause of charity
und patriotism. Mrs. Edith Wood , present
president of Kansas Woman's Relief Corps ,
closed the program by recounting her ex
periences during the war , how lives were
saved and death made less awful. She told
how they were continuing their work begun
then through the agency of the Woman's
Relief Corps. In the evening General Church
Howe entertained the camp fire with good
stories.

ILLINOIS BANKS SCHEMING FOR SAFETY
Sheriff Sells tlio Securities to Illildors Who
Jtcprcacnt Crmlltors , bat Could Not

ested Turtle * Shut Out ,
LINCOLN , Neb. , Aug. 1. ( Special to The
Deo. ) The ghost of Mr. Mosher was stalking
through the corridors of the county court
house this mornlnc. Ton o'clock was the
hour announced for the sale under orders
of the court ot the penitentiary convict
lease now held by Dorgan , the 2,280 shares
of gas stock , 500 shares of Western Manu
facturing company stock and 250 shares of
Farmers and Merchants Insurance stock , now
standing on the books of he various com *
panics la the name of C. W , Moaner , bit
held by unknown parties. The order w&3
obtained by the Dlxon National bank of
Dixon , 111. , nnd the People's National bank
of Rock Island , III. , each of whom has a
$5,000 Judgment against Mosher that hns
been unsatisfied. The title to these shares
nnd the lease has never been passed upon
by the courts , nnd consequently no one , un
less he had a previous arrangement with
the holders of the stack or was desirous of
adding a large , purple lawsuit to his posses
sions , would come In and bid.
The farmers and Merchants National bank
of Gnlva , 111. , Is also a creditor ot Mosher
to the extent of $5,000 , Just previous to
the hour of sale the bank's attorneys ap
peared before Judge Hall with a request for
an order enjoining1 the sheriff from pro
ceeding with the sale , setting up that the
sale was being made under a pretended
order of sale , and If permitted to bo held
would result In serious loss to Mosher's
creditors : that the sale was being made
under an arrangement with the holders ot
the stocks , whereby they would
obtain a clear title thereto without running
the risk ot being compelled to enter Into
competition with bidders at an open sale.
They asked that the title to the stacks be
first settled , then that they be sold and the
proceeds paid Into court to bo divided among
his creditors. Mr. Wilson , the nttoreny , had
neglected to provide himself with a bond
for $1,000 , and while he was hurrying down
to the First National bank to get U signed ,
Attorney Uurr , representing the other Il
linois banks , InslstdiP that the sheriff go
ahead and sell , nnd.hy Has ; compelled to do
so. The 500 shares pf' Western Manufac
turing stock , the 250 shares of Insurance
stock and the convlcvi ( QUBO were each In
turn knocked off to. the Dlxon and Itock
Island banks for $100n each , the bidding
being light. There iran-a little competition
over the gas stock , lnitU'aa finally knocked
down to W. Q. Dclltfpr$2,000. , | , a little less
than $1 a share on , each $100 share. Dell
'
Is supposed to rcprqse'ut the banks also.
During the progression the sale Mr , Wilson
arrived , and he toolOceanian to' ask the
sheriff If he hod tko--Block In his posses
sion or If he r.cAMl'l ' deliver It to
the successful bldlar. ( The sheriff
responded that he clldvflot have the stock
In his possession noiv.jilld he know where
It Is. Mr. Wilson smiled softly , and the
tale proceeded. I In in
It Is understood ? thnt'l they will attack
the validity ot tlieR3llf.l claiming that It
was a farcical procedure ; for the sheriff to
attempt to sell stock which ho did not have
nor of the whereabouts , of which ho had any
knowledge. Mr. Wilson asserts that he has
reason to believe that an arrangement ex
ists between the holders of the stock and
the two Illinois banks -whereby the latter
are to cot their claims paid In full In cx-
clmngo for transferring to the holders the
title obtained at this sale , which would ef
fectually abut out any other creditors trorn
getting any whark at them. This means
the beginning of litigation similar to that
against J. D. Macfarland In connection with
the Outcalt homo property , forced through
by this sain * Galva bank , which resulted
In forcing Macfarland to pay $4,500 more
and release 4ll claim on the Outcalt farm ,

TEN DAYS WERE SUFFICIENT.
On the 10th of last month Jacob P. Emery
of Mobile , Ala. , nnd Mrs. Agnes Wnhl ot
Colorado Springs were united In marriage
In this city. The groom confessed to 59 and
the bride to CO summers. Their meeting and
wedding was the direct result of an adver
tisement Inserted by each In a Chicago publi
cation devoted to the business of bringing
yearning hearts and hands Into conjunction.
Emery had been a shoemaker In Mobile ,
while his wife was the relict ot a Presby-
torlan clergyman and had lived with her
two sons In Colorado Springs. The pair were
seemingly very much taken up with one
another. Emery secured a position with a
local shoemaker and the pair took up their
wedded life In rooms In the Darr-Lamastcr
block. Ono morning , ten days after the wed
ding , Emery left ostensibly to go to work.
Ho did not come homo for filmier and nt the
supper table ho was conspicuous by his ab
sence. An Investigation was Instituted , with
the result that U was discovered ho had
taken his best clothes , all tils personal be
longings and skipped. No reason was as
signed for his leavnlug , and the wife Is now
endeavoring to find out If ho has gone back
to Alabama , where he owns some property.
