THE great Scottish giant William
Campbell is dead. After his death it
was problem how to get him buried.
He weighed 728 pounds, and was 6 feet
81 inches high. For giant he lived
in somewhat circumscribed quarters,
and at first it was thought it would be
necessafyjto remove the roof TO get him
In his coffin. Finally a window was
enlarged, and that difIiculty was solved.
How to get 1t and the dead giant out
was the next problem. The two weighed
ton. At last q derrick was procured,
and they ware hoisted oot. a thousand
persons witnessed the funeral, and the
crowding scene at the grave was dis
graceful. W sFzA f7fSFai

Washington, June 1.-THE Potter
investigating committee had a short
session to-day, and H. Conquest Clark,
late private secretary to Gov. Kellogg,
was cross examined by McMahon, rela-
tive to the second set Of Louisiana elec-
toral certificates. Witness said that
the two lists of returns lay on the table
in the committee room at New Orleans,
according to his present memory, till
he gathered them up for forwarding to
the Secretary Of State after the sigma
lures were complete, the only parties
signing them in the presence Of witness
that he remembers distinctly, were
Gov. Kellogg and Mr.. Brewster. He
thought there were one or two others
who signed in his presence but could
not be positive as to that. He did not
know where Levissee or Jeffrien were
at the time Of the signing of the second
set Of certificates and could not say pos
itively whether or not they signed them
personally, but was of the opinion that
the signature appearing on the certifi-
cate is that of Jeffrion, being familiar
with the gentleman's signature.
Q. Wasn't it a well known fact
among politicians in Louisiana that
Judge Levisee was not in town at the
time the papers in question were signedp
A. 1t was certainly, not known to me.
Mcmahon questioned the witness as
to who signed the names of Jeffrion and
Levissee, and the witness replied that
he knew absolutely nothing about it.
The investigation is adjourned till
Wednesday that the members Of the
committee may be in the House during
the closing hours of the session of Con-
gress.

London, June 1.-THE questions
which threaten the success of the con-
gress are believed to be the cession Of
Antivari to Montenegro, the position
Roumelia in relation to Turkey, and Of
the administrative and governmental
organization of Roumelia. Bessarabia
will be yielded to the personal wishes
of the Gar, and Roumania will accept
Doubrudia in exchange. The territori-
al concessions in Armenia win not
meet with opposition from England.
The question of war indemnity will be
settled by the appointment Of COM
mission to collect the Turkish revenues
and pay over certain proportion to
Russia annually, or to capitalize such
proportion by foreign loan, and pay
the Russian claim in bulk. In all these
speculations no account is taken of
possible opposition from the Turks
themselves. Carathodori Pasha is
making preparations for a vigorour rep
resentation Of Turkish interests.

Nu. for Potter to Crack.

New York, June 17.-Hon. E. F.
Noyes, U. s. Minister to France, ar
rived in this city last night, by steamer
City of Richmond. Gen. Noyes was
met on the landing by Gen. Knapp,
who was adjutant general of Ohio, dur
ing his gubernatorial term, and by sew
eral other friends. In conversation
with representative of the Associated
Press, touching the matter that brought
him back at this time, Minister Noyes
said: 81 went to Florida for no pur-
pose on earth except to ascertain the
vote Of the State, and to see whether
or not the popular vote had been cast
for Republican electors. I stated to
the two Republican members of the
canvassing board that all we wanted
was an honest decision. I never made
any promise to McLin or any other
member Of the board, nor did suggest
any possible reward or recognition in
case Gov. Hayes should be finally de-
clared elected, and as far as McLin is
concerned I never saw him at one mo-
ment in my life before the vote Of
Florida had been cast.

Protection for Austria.

London, June 1.-THE Observer
say it has reason to believe that Aus
tria and Russia have reached an under
standing by which the interests of Aus
tria and Hungary will be protected in
the same way that English interests
are protected by the agreement between
Lord Salisbury and Count Schouvaloff.
The premature publication of the lat
ter by the Globe is general lily believed
to have been procured by Russian dip
lomatists, with the object of quieting
the excitement in Russia about the sup
posed concessions to England.

WASHINGTON
The President on Contributions.

Washington, June 1.-THE Presi-
dent has informed the members Of the
Cabinet, with regard to the matter of
contributions to campaign funds and
assessments for political purposes, that
he desires the letter addressed by Sec
retary Schurz to one Of his clerks upon
that subject, to be considered as en-
bodying his own opinions, and the rule
governing the administration in its
different branches. This letter told
the clerk, who addressed Secretary
Schurz, that he was as free as any other
citizen to spend his spare money in any
legitimate way he pleased, and as his
political principles or public spirit may
suggest.

Can't Adjourn Yet.

Washington, June 1.-THE prospect
for final adjournment as soon as Tues
day afternoon, appears tonight ex-
tremely improbable, as further extern
sion of the session until at least We'd
nesday evening, is generally considered
Indispensable, for even If the Senate
finishes the sundry civil appropriation
bill by an all night session, it cannot
be placed in the hands of Conference
committee before Tuesday noon, and
an immediate agreement cannot be ex-
pected, besides which. considerable
time will be required for the enrolment
of the bills in the shape finally agreed
upon.

AS FAR AS EXPLORED,

the se.d region extends distance Of
eighty miles from northweS; 10 south
east by from ten to twenty miles in
width from northeast 20 southwest, and
lis 'u!I extent has not yet been ascer-
tained. New discoveries are of con-
stant occurrence Wy which the area Of
its known existence is being enlarged.
Within this mineral belt of eighty miles
more than three thousand gold quartz
lodes have been discovered, claimed,
and recorded, forty Of which are fur
nishing the ore to the forty-fve gold
mills now erected and running. More
than one hundred have large bodies OF
ore on the dump ready for milling as
soon as mills can be procured, and .
large proportion of the remsinder are
being developed. predicting auriferous
ore with entirely satisfactory results to
the owners. Within this mineral re-
gion about three hundred silver lodes
have been discovered, claimed, and re-
corded, many Of which have good sup
ply of ore for milling purposes. Bot one
silver mill has been erected; doubtless
others will be built during the present
season. GOAL, IRON, copper, ana lead
have also been found, as we'll as petro-
leum and
SALINE STRINGS.
There are also within this eighty miles
large placer mines, which have hereto
fore yielded about one half of the gold
product of this country. Along this
mineral region more than twenty thriv-
ing towns have sprung into existence,
where all kinds Of business are profit
ably being carried on. Banks, hotels,
stores, and many kinds Of mauu!actor-
les usually found in western cities and
towns, are not wanting in the settle
ments Of the Black Hills, Churches and
school houses already exist in consider
able number, and are being rapidly pro-
vided to meet the wants Of the popuIa
tion. In short, this region is rapidly
becoming the permanent home Of a pros
porous and enterprising people, whose
industries are of diversified character,
and who will not be dependent upon
the production Of the precious metals
alone for their sustenance. #

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Senator
Chaffee, from tho Committee on Terri
tories, has made report recommending
the adoption of the bill creating the
Black Hills country into , separate ter
ritory to be called the Territory OF

ing. 1t sets forth that in 1875 the
Black Hills country was An uninhabi
ted wilderness, but gold and silver, with
with other valuable minerals. were
known to exist, therein. In 1876 the
Indians ceded to the United, States all
of their rights thereto; and what was
then . vast solitude, seldom visited by
savages and never by civilized men, is
now the scene Of busy life aud commen-
dable enterprise It is estimated that
from 5000 to 20, 900 psopls inhabit
this country at the present time; of
these, about thres-fourths emigrsted
thither during the year 1877; and
doubtless its population will be- greatly
augmented by immigration during tho
