SUDDEN ~DEArH.-Charles Evans, a native of

18th, died on Meadow Valley street last evening
at Mrs. Christy's lodging house. His death was
very sudden, as an hour before D. A. Fulks en-
tered his room and found him apparently asleep
in his chair. Mr.. Fulks knowing that the young
man had been on a spree for the last two weeks
thought nothing of it. only that he was sleep
ing of the effects. When he returned from din
ner the man was to all appearances dying.
DR.. Hammond was hastily summoned, but al
though he made strenuous efforts to resuscitate
him was unable to do SO. The young man was
aged % years. His father had recently sent him
money with which to return to the place Of his
birth, but he expended it in getting on the spree
mentioned, which terminated so fatally. Nu-

. large quantity of brandy and drank it all ut

PROPOSED REDUCTION. The Chicago
Times Washington special says the For
eign Affairs Committee to-day agreed to
the suggestion of the House Appropria-
ton Committee to reduce the salaries of
ministers at the four great powers, Great
Britain, Russia, France and Germany,
from SIT. 900 to $12, 900. The salaries
OF ministers to Spain, Austria. China and
Brazil, are reduced from $12, 600 to $1O,-
GOO. 1t was also proposed in the CON-
mittee by General Springer to abolish the
following missions: Switzerland, Den
mark, Greece. Bavaria, Ecuador, the Ha-
waiian Islands, Hayti. Paraguay, Uru-
quay, Venzuela and Liberia. This will
involve a saving of $475, 900. The point
made in advocating the removal of these
missions is that they nave no correspond
ing representatives here, and that the
ministers there are useless.

The Pacific Railroad COMPREHENSIVE
1--WE their success, and even their exist
ence, to the generosity Of the Govern
mert-have developed a remarkable in
genuity in cheating their creator and
benefactor of its just dues. Not only
Large sums of money have been given
railroads, but immense tracts of land as
well. and by the simple expedient Of not
taking out their patents they have for
years avoided the payment of taxes upon
this real estate, knowing that meanwhile
nobody else could take possession. In
view Of this ungrateful fraud. says the
Virginia Chronicle of the 18th, we heart
lily approve of the bill which Senator
Booth introduced yesterday in Congress.
It provides that all such lands. on either
side of any portion of the road accepted
by the Government as completed shall
be subject to local taxation, and requires
the Commissioner Of the General Land
Office to prepare and deliver without de-
lay patents for all lands thus earned, if
free from conflicting claims and clearly
within the limits of the grant. If the
costs OF survey, etc.. are not paid by the
railroad company they may be paid by
any purchaser at a tax sale of such lands,
and will constitute a lien upon the pat
ent, which shall then be issued to the COM
pany. The bill also requires the Pacific
Railroad Companies to sell any lands not
disposed of within three years after the
completion of any road to the first settler
upon compliance with the terms of the
ore. emption laws.

the salient points Of this .Sena. -kable case.
The testimony as reported occupies great

oner, some Of it is exceedingly diifuse, not
to say irrelevant, IL any evidence can be ir-
relevant in such proceeding. The facts
are l. That Captain Ricardo, the first hus.,
band Of Mrs. Brave, after al life Of hard
drinking and long separation from her,
died suddenly; 2. Mrs. Bravo was by her
own admission and by the testimony OF her
nearest relatives very intimate with DR..

The shrieks OF woman aroused the in

day morning, and in short time the frame
cottage, which was known is Timothy
Donovan's home, was surrounded by :ex-

that Mr.. Donovan, his son, aged fifteen, and
his brother were dead in the well in the rear
Of the house.
The we'll was dry. It was twenty-seven
feet deep, and two feet and six inches in d.

Donovan was Il laborcr, and frequently,
within the past few years, had constructed
and cleaned wells. He was obstinate and
daring, and it is said OF him that an en-
ployer once paid him forty dollars to relln-
Quish his work on q well, as the employer
was satisfied that Donovan was too reckless,
and would in all probability meet his death

fast at the top. The boy clutched the rope
and started to descend into the well.
When he had gone about fifteen feet
the lnbearable gases sutfocated him,
and he fell to the bottom OF the well,
dead. The father wildly shouted, and
ran to the house of his brother, Cornelius
Donovan, ST., across the way. Cornelius
was in bed. but he hurriedly clothed himself
and ran toward the well.

reached the curb and looked into the we'll

well, clutchcd his clothing and hurled him
backward on the ground. Frederick klg-
Ter, an express agent, and IN expert swim

Bishop Whipple, OF Minnesota, has written
a letter to President Grant in reference to
the.lndian war and its cause, i'll which he
charges that the present and former troubles
with the Indians is entirely due to the bad
faith Of the nation in its breach OF existing
treaties and the non-observance OF good
faith in dealing with the savages. He
heartily endorses the peace policy, and con-
tends that it is tie on: one Which can be
effectual with the Indian tribes. He sug-
gests, as a remedy for the. present evils, the
Concentration Of the Indians on reserya-
tions, the exclusion OF whites from the re-
serves, the elevation OF the savages by pro-
and the establishment OF system Of gov
eminent under which they will be guaran-
teed the same rights and be amenable to the
