THE INDIANS.
Grant Wants a Strong Government
for Peaceable ADMINISTRATIONS
Offices TO Reward Partizans.

PARSONS, KS, Nov. 20.-A delega-
ton of prominent Choctaw Indians con-
sisting of Chief Justice Folsom, Col. Haw-
kins and others are in this city. They re-
port there is a growing sentiment in the
Territory in favor of so modifying the Ok
mulgee Constitution as to conform with
the wishes of the President in relation to
form of government strong enough toprO-
tect all citizens in their persons and proper
erty. 4 grand council will meet at Ok
mulgee, on the first Monday in December,
and will. it is understood, meet the wishes
of Congress in providing for the appoint
ment Of officers for territorial government
by the President and recommend the ap-
postiOnment Of lands in severalty.
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has
written a letter to Agent Parsons, OF the
Choctaw Agency, demanding that the
ChOctaws shall provide for an allotment OF
their lands, or at least permit the Chicka-
saws to do so. Il is understood an extra
session of the several legislative Indian
Councils will be called Immediately after
adjournment of the Ocmulgee Convention,
for the consideration Of national questions,
such as the allotment of lands, the adoption
of colored persons and for the general good
of all thepeOple.

THE IRON-MONGERS.
General Depression of the Trade-ln-

General Depression of the Trade-In-
geniOus Plea for Protection.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20.-The annual
meeting of the American Iron and Steel
Association was held here to-day, Saml j.
Reeves, President, in the chair. The Sec
rotary submitted a statistical report em-
bracing a general review of the iron trade.
1t states that the present financial crisis
has deranced the whole business and the
prices of iron have declined, reaching, in
some lines, far below the cost of produc-
ton. At the beginning of November fully
one-third of the furnaces were idle, and by
the end of the month one-half Of the fur
naces will be blown out. The rail mills
are bare of orders, and the stock OF pig iron
is accommodating with no sales at any price.
Thousands of iron-woTkers are out OF work
and those not employed have accepted
reduction of 10 per cent. i'll wages. Under
these circumstances, says the report, 1t Is
proper to consider whether it is wise to en-
courage the importation OF foreign iron,
twice repeated by Congress in reducing the
duties within four years. An increase OF
duty on pig iron from $500 to 50 per ton,
and prop0rionately on other classes would
be wise measure of relief by Congress.
1t is better to have reduced revenue than
cold and hunger in the homes OF American
Workingmen.

Situation i'm Madrid-SPain Re
fuses to Make ReparatiOn. and VIII
welcome War.
Madrid, Nov. 20.-The situation IS
grave. There is a serious misunderstand-
ing between Minister Siclxles and the Span
ish Cabinet. On the arrival of the news
of the capture of the Virginius, Presl,
dent CASTELAR, called at the Unltea
States Legation and expressed regret
and ordered suspension of the sentence
When Secretary Fish telegraphed the news
of the executions Gen. Sickles sent note
at o'clock demanding stay. The For
eign Secretary answered, questioning the
accuracy of the information, and intima.lnS
that Gen. Sickles was not authorized.
Thereupon Gen. Sickles in the name OF the
United States addressed
A Formal Protest.
against the inhuman butcheries and insult
to the United States flag, and demanded
that Spain should enforce obedience to her
orders in Cuba, and insisted on the rights
of Americans to trial under treaty OF 1196.
He complained that the American consul at
Santiago was prevented from using the
telegraph to Washington. The Spanish
Minister answered that the matter was
wholly municipal affair between Spain
and the Virginius pirates. Spain
Could not Tolerate American Inter
ference.
The interview ended by Gen. SickleS de-
handing that Spain order suspension Of
executions. The Spanish Minister OF For
eign Affairs haughtily declined to permit
Gen. Sickles to discuss the municipal at
fairs of Cuba. The interview terminated
angrily, Gen. Sickles saying he would hold
no more personal. but only official relations
with the Minister. Public feeling runs
high. The Spanish government blames the
United States for the Cuban instruction,
and says
They will Welcome War.
Minister Sickles says he does not see how
war can be avoided, as Spain will concede
nothing and public opinion will prevent
President CASTELAR, from making any conces-
sions. There is no use in the United
States
Trifiing Any More
Oh the subject, Spanish stubbornness making
concessions impossible. The extreme Re
pubIicans favor the views of the United
States in the affair.

ECCLESIASTICAL.
A Bishop between Two Fires.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. pa member of the
standing committee of the Diocese of Ken
lucky has received letter from a promi-
nent clergyman of the East relative to
Bishop Cummin's withdrawal from his
work in Kentucky and from the Episcopal
church, which is of the highest authority.
The letter says: The Bishop acted by him
self and against the protest of Evangelical
men. Even the most radical oppose his
course and will give his movement no sup
port. / attended meeting of the leading
Evangelical clergy in Philadelphia to-day,
and found them a unit against the Bishop.
SO [ suppose we are to have no new move
ment of any importance. II is thought
that the Bishop stands alone. for which we
have reason to be thankful. A convention
is talked of here to elect an assistant Bishop
in Cummin's place.

PITTSBURG.
A DefaIcatiOn of $4,000.

PITTsBURG, Nov. 20.-A defalcatiOn has
been discovered in the accounts of Robert
Finney, Secretary of the Eureka and Boat
mems Marine and Fire Insurance COmpa-
MES of this city, which will probably reach
$4,000. 1t is.said Mr.. Finney has been
using the funds of these companies for some
years in private speculations Of various
kinds, which have proved Improbable.
The losses to the insurance companies,

made good by the stockholders.

THE BABY.

frCm Jne New 1OIh LCuBVA'
When baby comes into household, it
is only little, shapeless, red-faced thing
with tiny double fists that move themselves
about at nothing, and an appetite dispro-
portionately large in comparison with its
other qualities.
Yes, it comes as sort of a monarch
that helpless little handful, and it begins to
reign forthwith.
Its vOice-not exactly the voice Of the
turtle. either-being heard in the land, all
other sounds are forgotten.
1t matters not who has no dinner so that
lie has his, nor who is tired so that he en-
joys himself. Ordinary occupations cease,
and a group gathers about the cradle to see
him put his fist in his mouth. a small
fringe of hair on the back of his head IS
more beautiful in the eyes Of the household
than the floating locks Of any golden blonde
on earth; and while some adult is quietly
advised to have his aching wisdOm-tOOth
pulled out, and not bother any more about
it, the family rush pell-mell to the cradle
side. to see that wonderful thing-baby's
first tooth, peeping through its gums.
King Baby, do you know anything about
all this? If you did, you might look for
ward very sadly. In after life there will
be no such alteration for you. Words of
wisdom will fall unnOticed from your lips
then, though when yOu have learned to say
''blal bla!7 the household now goes into
ecstacies.
Your little natural kicks and wriggles,
that are so charming, are nothing to the
hard work that yOuwill do without 'thank
yOu'' from anyone. Your sleeping, eating.
and smiling will interest no one but your
self when you are man. It is well that
YOU do not know it. But now you are a
king, and, in truth, home is made happy
by such little monarch. Reign on. l am
one of your subjects, and pity anyone so
stern and cold that he does not bow little
before that great Grand Llama, the Baby OF
the House. MARY KYLE DALIIS.

JATLs are bad enough without having

hoped that this new terror will have an eX

ANIAIALs-favorite cats, dogs, birds, ct
al.-have frequently been remembered
affectionateIy in wills, and provision made
for their care during their lives. The horse
of Col. Porter d. Trip, of Arlington,
Mass, has been more than usually dis
tinguished by the Colonel, who rode him
during the war. The favorite is to be
treated with the utmost care and kindness
during his natural life. After his decease
he is to be put into the hands of taxider-
mist, his skin to be stuffed, handsomely
mounted, inclosed in glass case, and
placed in one of the rooms Of the family
residence. The Duke of Wellington took
uncommonly good care of Copenhagen, the
horse which he rode at Waterloo, but we
do not remember that the animal was
mentioned in the great Field Marshal's
will.
