TIIR NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD
CASE,
Special to N. Y. Express.
1t Is generally understood that Com.
missioner PleasOntOn will adhere 10 Ills
former decision In the Now York Central
scrip dividend case, and order an imme.
diate collection OF the total amount of tax
levied, leaving the road to appeal to the
courts for redress.
An order was made to-day extending
the mail service on the Missouri, Kansas,
s. Texas railroad from ChetOpa, Kansas,
10 Prior Creek, Indian Territory, "a miles,
from August lst, proximo.
Commissioner PleasOntOn has written a
letter to Assessor Jourdan, Of Brooklyn,
In which he expresses his deep sympathy
with tho family Of Clinton Gilbert, who
was killed while discharging his duty,
and closes as follows.
ut may not be improper TO inform your
whole force that In view OF the growing
perils Of the civil service, II Is my inten.
ton to recommend TO Congress, through
the proper channels, that pensions be
hereafter granted those disabled, and TO
the families Of those slain, In the Internal
Revenue service, who merit the same
consideration as the sailor and soldier,
manned or killed on the battle field.
Captain Bernard, reports from Camp
BidwCll, northern California, that lie has
sent Lieut.. Kyle, and q party Of men, 10
Fall River and Big Valley, to investigate
tho reports of apprehended danger from
the Indians in those localities. Captain
Bernard also says the Indians say their
agent will give them nothing, and they
are forced 10 hunt for roots or starve. II
this be true, when the season Is over they
may steal stock to live on.
General Ord, informing Captain Ber.
nard's by communication, says III learn
that the Pahutahs have nearly all left the
Indian reservation at Pieranid Lake, for
want Of food. Fish their only food there,
has failed TO come down the PruckCe, and
the Indians have taken to the mountains
and valleys ol the north, near Oregon and
Pitt triver, tohunt for roots and obtain food.
These valleys are more or less occupied
by settlers and ranchmen. 1fthC Indians,
In their hunger, should, rs they are likely
10 do, kill the stock or cattle, the ranch.
men will probably retallate by shooting
some stray and perhaps innocent Indians,
and In this way lead to difficulties. !
think II tho Indian Department Of Ne.
vadA Is powerless to give food to starving
Indians, the military commanders should
be authorized to issue orders TO send food
In limited quantities, which would be less
expensive than having to fight them.
Every preCautiOn will be taken TO pro-
vent difficulty, but starving Indians can
not be reasoned with.
General Cowan, acting Secretary Oi
the Interior, telegraphed tO.day to Hon.
Jno. D. Long, at Vassaboro, Me-, asking

charge Of the duties Of Vincent Collyer,
Indian Commissioner, so rs TO allow the
latter to go TO Arizona and New Mexico
Long IS rcquested,tO come prepared to
stay two or three weeks. Hon. Geo. II.
Stuart, Of Philadelphia, President Of the
Board Of Indian Commissioners, was at
the same time notified Of the action Of the
Department. The object of Mr.. Collyer's
trip to New Mexico Is to assist Superin.
tendent Pope In his efforts to induce the
famous Apache chief, Cochine, TO visit
Washington City and make peace with
the whites. Information was received at
the Indian Bureau to-day of the death Of
Armigo, the principal chief ol the Ma
vaiOe nation of Indians. He died near

The Ku.Klux Investigation Committee
to-day examined j. y. Morris, Attorney
General of Mississippi, and a native Of
Tennessee, and for ten years resident Of
Mississippi, and q Confederate Judge
during the war. He had no personal
knowledge ofany Ku.Klux, but knew Of
their existence In the State, the organi.
zation being confined to twelve tiers Of
counties on tho Alabama line. lie said
II was almost impossible to convict them,
not only for the reasons that they are dis
guised and the people are afraid to testify
against them, but because the public sen.
timent is generally disposed to ignore
them. Altogether the object Of the or.
