cents being returned to him. He thereupon
dug up another niclcel and asked the clerk
If he would not glvo him a paper dollar for
the change. As soon as the clerk's head was
turned he slipped the remaining dollar In his
pocket , and when the clerk returned to the
counter demanded a $2 bill , as ho claimed
that both dollars had been taken by the
clerk. The ruse , however , was too thin ,

LONDON , Nov. 23. It would appear that
the season of togs commenced simultaneously
In New York and London , for according to
the weather reports , while the Inhabitants
of the former city , early during the week
were grouping their way through dense mills ,
the citizens of thlo metropolis were also
feeling their way about In fogs thick
enough lo cause gas and electric lights lo
be turned almost everywhere and miking
traffic , particularly on Monday , extremely
dangerous and difficult ,
The weather , however , has been mild , nnd
London In now unusually full ot people , al
though what Is known as "the smart mi
nority" continues to kill time In flitting
about the country from ono sporting party
to another. But a big majority of the people
ple have settled down for tha winter.

HEADY FOR. A CAMPAIGN.
In spite ot the announcement that King
Prempehe of Ashante has agreed to the
terms of Great Britain , to all Intents and
purposes preparations for the campaign
against Coomassle , his capital , continue , as
there Is an Indemnity for expenses up to
date , and other little details to be settled
before Great Britain will be thoroughly sat
isfied with the practical protectorate which
she Is taking steps to assume over another
slice of Africa. Throughout the week Sir
Francis Scott , Inspector general of the gold
coast forces , has been actively supervising
the gathering together of store ? , ammuni
tion , etc. , and be , with a number ot other
officers and men , sail from Liverpool today
for Acocoa. They will take with them over
750 tons of war stores. Among the officers
who will accompiny the expedition Is Lieu
tenant Duncan M. Mclnnlss , sou ot Senator
Mclnnes ot Canada.
Judging from the Interviews with the Eng

have any digestion left. "
Society Is on the'qul vlve over the coming
divorce case , In which the duke of Orleans
Is named as co-respondent , the suit being
known as Woolston against Woolston , the
husband alleged that Mrs. Woolston , the
deferidaht'lived for a time under the pro
tection of the duke of Orleans. Truth says
that the duke of Orleans quitted England In
Iblgh dudgeon because he was pointedly Ig
nored by the' court during the visit to this
country of 'Klrtg Carlob 'of Portugal. The
prince of Wales , It appears , wanted ( o In
vite the dijke to Satndrlngham , but the queen
sternly vetoed the proposition. The story
that the duke and duchess of York are going
to Canada In 1896 Is unfounded , although It
Is understood that the trip was at one tlmo
contemplated.
- The llrot Installment of the Havre armor
plates for the two Japanese battleships
which were built here , was delivered this
week , but It Is said that Japan has trans
ferred the order for bulldBng the battleships
to Germany on account of the shipbuilding
strike on the Clyde. As a result the British
shipbuilders are alarmed at the prospect of
also losing the orders which China Is re
ported to be about to place for the purpose
of building up a new navy.
Enormous crowds cf people attended the
annual cycle show wlilch opened yesterday ,
showing how the craze has affected all

so much excitement In the cycle world erse
so much opposition offered to a new depart

be unable to dispose of their old stock.
Another novelty Is shown In a new cycle

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. ( Special. ) Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Browning looks
upon the leasing of Indian lands ns a feature
not to bo countenanced by the government ot
the United States. Instead of being the ob
ject lesson which It was originally Intended ,
It has become more ot a disposition to make
money on the part of the Indians than a home
and a place which they might enjoy In their
old age. While wards of the government , en
joying all the right ot a c9illd , the Indians
liavo failed signally , so far as can bo ascer
tained , In appreciating the kindly spirit shown
to them by an Indulgent father. This Is par
ticularly the case with the Omaha Indians In
Thurston county , . U had been hoped that
thin band of Indians would be self-assertive ,
strong and upright In the enjoyment , not only
ot citizenship In Uie state ot Nebraska , but In
keeping that faith which had been oxpectrsj
of them from the' Indian office. Instead , how
ever , word comes from Thurston county that
the Omahas arc retrograding ; that whisky ,
avarice and countless other evils associated
with the white man are playing havoc In the
tribe , and Instead of being cited as an In
stance of betterment by the government , they
are In a worse state than during savagery.
The commissioner , In talking of these mat
ters , gave In detail the number of leaseholds
held by the white man from thet Indians , and
was In very grave doubt as to Just what
action should bo taken by congress at the
coming session to correct the evils Uhat now
exist. Ho doubted very much If the plan
adopted by eastern senators and representa
tives giving tha Indian a certain allotment
to do with what ho pleased was the proper
thing In the premises. In fact , ho was some
what Inclined to the Idea that the Indian
should bs treated as a ward and not enjoy
any of the rights and privileges of American
citizenship until uc/li / tlmo as ho had proven
his ability to enjoy citizenship.
IDLENESS A BESETTING SIN.
While It was the original Intention of the
government to give the Indian land and to
associate him with the white man , It has been
universally found , according to the report of
the Department of the Interior , and particu
larly the commissioner of Indian affairs , that
tha Indian's i known propensity for
Idleness stands a' barrier toward the
working out" of the beneficent pro
vision of the government. In one In
stance the commissioner cited , where 3,500
allotments wcro made , It now transpires that
3,300 of these allotments are subleased , the
Indians retaining from forty to eighty acres
of land , while white men ore farming the
balance , runnlng-'lnto thousands ot acres. It
Is asserted , atld'idtf without sorno show of
reason , tMt HIB" wTilto man commands the
Indian's attentloivaurlng a period when the
Indian IB not able to mak'e or unmake con
tracts , and the1 result Is strongly against the
leasehold principle"'as now obtains. In the
Omaha and WlnneBago reservations certain
numbers of acres of land remain to bo al

There are' strong 'rtasons for believing that

"
HALTING"BETWEEN TWO OPINIONS.
The .Indian ofjjc Is hesitating between two
opinions an to'bwbj9U ! Is the proper jcoursa , to.
pursue. They recognize that the Indian has
rights , and , like .q'parent nurturing a chllo.
they believe the gqvernmeot shoulil.denl . with
the Indian , but ; conditions are such that the
Indian seems to be his own worst enemy ,
and the tlmo has come when , without any
more allotments to be' made , ho will be given
an "education ami then allowed to drift
whither he pleases , tribal relations broken up ,
families sundered , and he an outcast , to travel
over the face of the country which.he once
owned by right of first possession.
There will doubtless be strpng legislation
'at the coming session of congress relative to
the "National Gmrd of the United States.
From sources believed to be entirely trust
worthy It Is learned ) that the War depart
ment looks favorably upon the scheme of
the mobilization , of , the army at certain
strategic points , and through this mobilization
a considerable reduction. It la thought , can
be made In the yearly appropriation for the
maintenance of' the military arm of the
service. Until within the past few years the
appropriation made by congress annually for
thu support of the militia aggregated $300,000 ,
but this was doubled some five or six years
ago , and now amounts to $400,000. This Is
painfully Insufficient to put the service upon
anything like a fighting' footing , and no one
better understands this than the present sec
retary of war. The appropriation last year
for the support of the military establishment
was $28,600,000. It Is estimated by those
competent to Judge that If the old frontlet
posts were abandoned and the troops centered
near the large cities that the cost of main
taining the army In Its present shape could
be reduced to $20,000,000 , and that the $8,600-
000 that are further required for the main
tenance of the army could be applied toward
Increasing the efficiency of the militia.
STflENGTH OF THE MILITIA.
The effective military strength of the
United States according to latei't reports ,
that Is to say , the number of men under
itrms In all of the forty-four state's and four
territories of the United States , Is set down
at 106,000 , exclusive of the regular army.
The best troops are those embraced In the
states of New York and Pennsylvania. With
this appropriation of $8,600,000 that could be
saved by the centralization of the military
arm of "the service , the mllltla force could
ba Increased from 106,000 to 175,000 men ,
and that therefore the United States would
have In constant- training , with the standing
army of the United States , 200,000 men
available- a moment's notice for the field
to r-jslst any foreign foe.
This matter was discussed at the meeting
of the army surgeons at Buffalo lart summer ,
and It Is thought , thai some decisive action
will bo taken by this body , which Includes
.surgeons' of both , the army and the mllltla ,
at their meeting in Philadelphia next May.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 23. ( Special. )
Strange changes In the familiar senate cham
ber will make thfmsclvcs felt lo the august
senators as they stand up for the chaplain's
blessing on the 2d day of December.
Changes that , while not radical , are pervasive ,
and about the only things within the four
walls that have come through the cleaning
ordeal untouched' are the busts of long-for
gotten vice presidents dimly recessed along
the walls. No such renovations have been
made since the chamber was flnt occupied In
1859. Then It was one ot th" most beautiful
legislative halls In the world ; today It de
serves the same superlative recognition.
All during the recess of the senat * decorators
raters , painters , upholsterers and expert
workers In wood have- held high revel In the
historic chamber , with the ruiilt tint the old
senators will Imagine themselves In some
highly aristocratic church , while the new
members will look upon the exquisite
traceries over capitals , arches , etc. , and In
their poetic fancy people the senate again
with the gone heroeo who Illuminated the
pages of history before thfy wore even
thought of. All tha gliding has been gone
over , the greasy walls and dirt-covered pedi
ments have been painted , with the mouldings
In light and pretty colors. The old leather
doors leading to the lobby nnd from the
lobby to the reception room have been re
placed Vv long plate glass doors , letting In
light nnd adding greatly to the apparent
olzo of the chamber.
But whllo thcic changes bring out all the
architectural beauty of the chamber , the most
decided change , however , latin the banish
ment of the Incongruous and 111 assorted cane-
backed c'nalrs by means of which a number
of senators had consulted their ease rather
than the dignity of their surorundlngs. Today
the chair of Immemorial pattern holds court
and of tlie same size , there Is an added dig
nity about the chamber which Is surprising.
These chairs of dark red leather , together
with the desks cf solid mahogany , present n
picture In. the now well lighted and thor
oughly ventilated room of the upper house of
congress.
It would bo hard to find more beautiful
examples of mahogany than have been put In
the desks , but for thirty-five years It has been
a custom ot Incompetent workmen to varnish
thesi desks , until about forty layers of sticky
substance had completely shut out the fine
ness of the woods entering Into Uiclr con
struction. Now all these layers of varnish
have been taken off by expert workers In
wood and the desks oiled , making a wonderful
change In their richness and beauty , suggest
ing the times of Webster , Calhoun and Clay ,
when they occupied these self same desks and
made the laws of the state.
The great round , brass-grated fresh air
ducts , which were on either sldo ot the
chamber In the rear and which have been
taken by visiting members of the house as
fretwork cuspidors , are now covered over
with carp&t , beautifully soft to the tread , and
the- stains of a hundred night sessions have
been removed from the galleries. Carpets
of a green shade have been put down In the *
chamber proper , while a red rich velvet orna
ments the corridor leading Into the cloak
room. With these changes the senate cham
ber loses Its appalling character and In Its
new clothes will Invite now thoughts and
corresponding "perkness" from the senators
themselves.
CHANGES IN FACES A FEATURE.
These changes In material things will be
accompanied by corresponding changes In the
locations of the senators. Of the thirty mem
bers of the senate whoso time expired on
the 4th of March , seventeen failed to return.
Many of these occupied desirable seats , upon
which filings for years have been made by
other senators , these applications being de
posited with the doorkeeper. In the failure
of senators holding these scats to be re
turned other senators now profit through the
whirligig of politics and will drop content
edly Into the new positions when the body Is
called to order nt noon ot the 2d proximo.
On the republican side the most note
worthy change Is that by which Mr. Peffer
advances to the front line , where bis flowing
beard will no longer annoy those who sat In
front of him whenever the wind blew. At'
associates he will have Mr. Quay and Mr ,
Cameron , who -will be the cynosureof all
eyes wlun Mr1 Peffer Indulges , In Ills mo
notonous expositions of populism. Mr. Gal-
linger has taken the teat once occupied by
Edmunds , ami Umt later knew the still ,
small voice of Mr. Nixon. Ths four seats
next the side aisle , reserved for now sena
tors , will be occupied by Mr. Gear , Mr. Me-
Bride and Mr. Butler , the fourth seat being
reserved for a Utah senator. Mr. Prltchard
will have Senator Chandler for a companion ,
thuii Insuring him a chance to be In the
thickest of the fight. Mr. Pettigrew has
selected a seat between Mr. Sherman and
Mr. Wolcott. the tailor-made from Colorado ,
and one of the "dandles" of the senate ,
Mr. Dubols will take the place mad ? vacant
by the patriarch Dolph. General Sewell
has Mr. Peffer's old place , Mr. Wetmore
will be > on Mr. Davis' right and Mr. Bur
rows on the * left of Minnesota's favorite ton ,
the descendant of King Knute , Knute Nel
son.
son.Mr. . Thurston and Mr. Wilson will be well
back on the last row , with Elklns , Clark and
Warren , w3iero they all will be expected to
keep quiet together.
On the democratic side , Mr. Hill , of the
bald head , has left his place near the door
for a seat In the second row , that the eyes
of the gallery may continue to be upon him.
He has taken Populist Allen's old seat , from
which ho delivered the fifteen-hour speech ,
Mr. Allen choosing the middle seat In Hie
front row , whence Mr. Coke was wont to
thunder constitutional law as understood In
Texas. As flanks Mr. Allen will have Mr.
Cockrell on his right and Mr. Harris on his
left , a most uncongenial pair for a populist.
Mr. Morgan and Mr. Gray will continue to
occupy adjoining scats , from which the one
will attack and the other defend the admin
istration. Mr. Walthall becomes heir to the
commanding place on the middle aisle , where
sat Mr. Ransom , who many times and oft
poured oil on tlio troubled waters as they
threatened to break even over the chair of
the vice president. Mr. Murphy goes to the
third row between Mr. Faulkner and Mr.
Smith , the last row being captained by the
veteran Palmer.
13AHNK.ST KFKOHTS TO .SECUIU3 GOLD
.Secretary CnrllMlc Offer * KHieulul Iii-
iliioeineiitH to llolilt-rn.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 23. The Treasury
department today , In order to recoup In part
Its falling gold reserve , took the extremely
unusual course of agreeing to pay express
charges both ways to persons and corpora
tions forwarding gold In exchange for other
currency.
Secretary Carlisle In a circular letter sent
to the United States uubtreasury during the
afternoon guvo Instructions to hereafter re
ceive gold coin In sums of $500'and ' multiples
thereof , and to pay express charges on the
gold and also on the currency returned In
exchange therefor. He also Instructed the
subtreasurers to receive light weight gold
coin and to ascertain the exact value of such
coins and pay for It' at face value , less 4
cent for each troy grain , on auch coins as are
foi'nd to be below standard weight.
Today Is believed to be the second time
In the history of the government that It has
paid express charges both on the gold re
ceived and the currency returned therefor ,
The only exception , It is eald , was In 1893 ,
when It was done In a few Instances.
The secretary's letter of Instruction to
subtreasurers regarding light weight coin
was as follows : "Department Instructions of
July 9 and August 23 , 1895 , requiring you to
reject and place a distinguishing mark'on all
gold coins presented to your depository for
deposit where found to be below the least
current weight , are hereby so modified as to
Instruct you that when required to accept all
such coins at valuatlpn In proportion to their
actual weight , such valuation la to be deter
mined by deducting from nominal value i
cents for each grain , troy weight , found
below the standard weight of each piece ;
all light weight pieces thus received by you
to bo held In the cash at your office separate
rate- from full weight coins , and each bag of
such coins to be plainly marked with the
amount of the face and actual values of con
tents. If the * depositor should prefer to have
the pieces that are found to be below the
least current weight returned to him you
will , before returning them , stamp each piece
with the distinguishing mark referred to In
department letter. "

DATE DEFINITELY FIXED.
BALTIMORE. Nov. 23. Cardinal Gibbons
today confirmed ! h ; statement that the
beretta would bo conferred on Archbishop
Satolll on December 15 In this city.
"Mgr. Satolll has arranged to have the
ceremonies Incident to his elevation take
place In the cathedral In this city on Sun
day. December 15 , beginning at 10:30 : a. m. , "
said the cardinal. "The mass will be cele

honor of conferring the beretta. Imme
diately after the announcement Is made In
the consistory on Monday the member of the
noble guard designated by the holy father
to be the bearer of the borctta and ssu-
chctto will leave Homo for Washington.
"Further details of the ceremony will
not bo arranged until after his arrival. It
can be Mid , however , that In all particulars
the ceremony will be similar to that upon
the occasion of my own elevation' , the ilf-
talls of which were published at such length
In all your papers. It will Include the usual
procession of dignitaries and clergy , special
music , etc. Upon entering the cathedral
Mgr. Satolll and myself will occupy posi
tions upon the epistle and gospel sldo of the

"The Invitations to the ceremony are now

the occasion of my own elevation to the
catdlnalate , which I furnished Mgr. Satolll
at his request.The Invitations upon these

AMISllICAN COUN HEATS THE WOIU.I )
.tinIHC Produced in ISuropc I * of In
ferior Quality.
WASHINGTON , , Nov. 23. An analysis of
maize from the Black sea and the Danube
was recently made In the chemical division
of the Department of Agriculture with a
view of determining Its comparative value
as a feeding'stuff with that grown In this
country. Of late years these countries have
been shipping corn in large quantities to
Germany and Great Britain and other
countries of northern Europe. The Imports
Into Germany from Houmanla alone last
year exceeded those of the United States.
The advantages enjoyed by these countries
of southern Europe In competition for this
trade , owing to their geographical location
and the avoidance of along sea voyage , are be
lieved in this country to ba offset by the
superior quality of the American product and
this Impression Is strikingly confirmed by
the recent analysis. The samples wore found
to correspond In composition to poor corn
grown In the United States , being from 13 to
17 per cent 'owor lu protein and fully 33
per cent lower than tha last averages of over
200 samples of American grown corn. While
an average for corn for the woild shows , but
9.45 of protein and this average Is higher
than samples from the Black sea and the
Danube , the American average Is 10.5. The
sarrplcs of dent nnd flint excefd this , many ,
Indeed , exceeding 11 per cent.
It Is pointed out by the department that
while these facts speak eloquently of the
higher quality of the American product they
also testify with equal force to the Im
portance of maintaining the high standard of
the feeding quality nf American corn In
foreign market ? , as that la unquestionably
the characteristic upon which main reliance
must be placed to enable the American
growers lo compete successfully with the
clicjp labor of southern Europe. The ship
ment of Infeilor grades of corn * under the
circumstances would bo to deal a death blow
to American corn exports , even to those
countries whose maUe Is uswd only as food
for stock.

A committee from the city council , com

Anton Kmcnt , visited the city Jail yester
day. The members were shown through the
cells , matron's quarters and court room ,
After ft few measurements were made and
rome flKurlng done , they stated that the
rooms In the city hall would Rive ample room
for police headquarters and that a commodi
ous Jail could bo constructed In the basement
of the. bulldlnR at * mnll expense.
The main objection against the present
Jail Is poor sewerage. Though the bulldlnR
Is compiratlvely new , the basement In which
the cells arc located Is many feet below the

the main newer occurs foul gases and nome-
times refuse Is backed HP Into the drain
