New YORK, June S.-A Washington special
says Schenck's note to Granville, which was
read in the House of Lords on Thursday night,
is not approved in Washington. The authority
OF Schenck to communicate to Granville the
views of his Government as to the meaning of
the supplemental article was not intended to
cover any written communication to help the
Gladstone ministry in their contest with their
opponents in Parliament. The President con-
SiderS it compromising to the honor of the
country ogive written pledge in advance of
what the new treaty is to mean. Our Govern
mentinsists that the article explains ITSELF and

thence of the Government and the country, and
were involving the chances of the settlement of
the question. 1es,gss ra-7l-rr .Jt I'd -l,,+ 40

Red Cloud, in his speech last night at the
Cooper Institute, said:-He wanted the Great
Father at Washington to protect him in his
own country, so he, could build school houses
and churches and bring up his children as the
whites do theirs. He had come here to get ell
oouragement to work, and would return to his
own country and initiate the best qualities of
the whites. There were men enough in the:
West to take care of themselves, and he wished
the Great Father would take the military away
and leave the Indians alone. hrs 49,

4 The Frauds of the Book Concern
The Times has tie following:--Dr Lanahan,
in conversation yesterday, said he was satisfied
that his arrest was the result OF a combination
between DIR. Carlton, DIR. Curry and Mr.. Depuy,
who feels sure they induced Mr. GoodenOugh to
swear out warrant He also said that Abram
Nelson, now in prison on the suit of Phelps,
Dodge & Co, received large quantity of val
liable morocco leather, fraud which, when
discovered, led to Nelson's arrest, though for
some reason the case was subsequently allowed
to drop. Lanahan says he shall take no further
steps in regard to the Book Concern, though he
has been assured that not one half the frauds
penetrated in it have been disclosed; but he
believes the church has now received suffici-
ent hint 10 take care of its own interest The
present Book Concern, he thinks, is composed
of honest men, and he is contented to know
that the fight has not been entirely in vain
