LOUISVILLE, Nov. 1S.-The morning

tfrangeis evidence of the great interest felt
by the order in the success Of the organiza-
ton. 1t has been decided to locate at
louisville. where the natural advantages
are such as to be of great service,
In regard to the business Of the different
agencies the report says that some cities
are doing very large business amounting
in the aggregate to millions Of dollars, while
in other respects they are unsatisfactory
and fall short OF the benefits which he
realized. The commission system of the
order is said to be false in theory and IN
Just to members, aud therefore in the
minds OF the committee another method 0t
selling is deemed necessary for the good Of
the order. Such system the committee begs
leave to submit plans of at a future day
ard IS satisfied that it will meet with gen

Should he report be adopted concerning
business agencies in the different states, the
commission system will be abolished and
one general agent to do business for each

How an English Merchant Got Credit.

New YORK, Nov. ia London letter
says singular variety Of fraud in COM
mercial life has been discovered there by
the failure of MIR. Augusta Ohlborn, a
London dry goods dealer. This enterpris-
ing tradesman kept two sets Of books, one
genuine and one fictitious In the latter
set appear book debts due him to the
amount Of 81, 100000, not one of which is
real. They represent goods which never
existed at all and were never sold to the
persons to whom they are charged. They
seem to have been parted with in the
most questionable way to most question
able characters and then entered in books
to persons of credit and position in the
highest classes of society, who bought
them, On the strength of these debts
and Of the business they were supposed
to represent it is conjectured that Ohborn
built up his credit and bought largely and
not even the wholesale people with whom he
dealt had any suspicion of the fraudulent
work,

LONDON, Nov. IA special says that
at cabinet council. on Sunday "a telegram
was sent advising the Prince of Wales 10
return. The real reason assigned by the
correspondent, for this action of the cabi-
net, is the unsatisfactory attitude of the
native princes. Not single reception has
been proffered by any one of these in the
Madras and Bengal presidencies. All
the entertainments thus far given have
been given by English, There is no con-
cealing the fact that the native princes
view the visit unfavorably
Another London special states that the

placed by gentlemen at the disposal of the
Church Missionary Society in answer to
Mitesass appeal. through w. NJ. Stanley,
for the christianization of Africa.
Still another London special announces
a disaster on railway between Stock

were completely smashed and sixty pas
sengers killed or severely injured. This
last, however, may relate to previously
reported railroad accident in London.
A Copenhagen special announces the

Drunken indians and Unpaid Hotel Bills

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA party of
Warm Spring Indians arrived here a few
days ago and went to the Washington
house and then called upon the Commis-
si0ner of Indian Affairs for aid. The
Commissioner told them if they would 90
to fremont house their board while there
would be paid by the government. The
Indians chose to remain where they were
and the result is an unpaid bill for which
the proprietor threatens to retain the
baggage Of the Indian.
Yesterday, DR.. Mckay, manager Of the
board, called upon the Commissioner to
make another effort to secure the payment
of this bill and the release of their bagg-
age, trlnkets. etc, but was percmptorily
refused and the DIR. reprimanded for the
Intoxicated exhibition by the. Indians on
the streets, declaring it disgrace to the
Indian service
DR.. Mckay finally consented to leave this
afternoon and the Commissioner agreed to
furnish ticke:s ard a blanket to each
Indian at the deput when they were ready
