EASTERN DISPATCHES


During the morning honr Voorhees,
spoke in favor of an early consideration
of the bill to repeal the Specie Re-
sumption Act, and said the Senate
might as we'll look this matter in the
face. If it was not going to repeal the
Act, let it say so by its vote. No greater
question had ever engaged the Ameri-
can Congress. He would take every
opportunity from now till the close of
the session to insist that the matter
should be disposed of. The Senate had
time to pass all sorts of bills to bridge
rivulets, but no time to meet a question
which involved more peril and distress
than had been produced by war and
pestilence. He thought the bill could
be disposed of in sixty minutes.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, October 4.-The President
returned this morning.
The Cabinet to-day approved the letter
OF Attorney General Devens, giving the
opinion that the Utah and Oregon Rail-
road Company can pass through the Ban
mock Indian reservation. No other
business of special importance was con-
sidered.
DR.. John B. Blake resigned his position
as Secretary of the Washington Monument
Society, though he still retains member
ship.
5 The Post Office Department orders that
no fines be imposed upon mail contractors
or deductions be made from their pay be-
cause of firregularity of service on account
OF quarantine regulations.
The Secretary of the Interior has let
ter from the Superintendent of Hot
Springs, Arkansas, in reference to the re-
cent trouble at that place. One of the
springs has been long used promise uously,
Without charge, by .bathers. Persons
effected with loathsome diseases have
upailed themselves Of the pTisilsge as the
spring is not far from other hot springs,
and the ground porRs, the eSuperintendent
thought it advisable to conduct the waters
of the spring to a more distant point,
where the bathing of the afflicted persons
would not be subject to the same objec-
tons. His attempt to carry out this plan
was resisted by some of the settlers, who
have held meetings of protest.
Work upon the new life saving stations
on the coasts OF Virginia and North Caro-
lima is rapidly progressing. New surf
boats, hawsers, running gear, ETC., will be
purchased, so as to put the stations in
excellent order for winter duty.

THE WAR PATH.

CHEYENNE, Oct. 4.-Intelligence has
been received from Ogallala, and reports
the Indians crossing the river, this MORN
ing, five miles east of that station. Fifty
citizens of Ogallsla prepared to defend
the town, should it be attacked. Scouts
are out in all directions.
DENVER, Oct. 4.-The following, from
Wallace, Ka., referring to the Indians
which left the reservation near Fort Reno,
has been received.
"Indians crossed Kansas Pacific on Sum-
day, going north. When about 25 miles
north of Buffalo Station, they commenced
killing settlers, and thus far seventeen
dead bodies have been found along Sappa
Creek. The Indians no not go at all out
of their way to kill white people; but if
they meet white man on horseback they
kill him and take his horse. They are
now eighty or a hundred miles north of
the Kansas Pacific, with troops pressing
them pretty hard. They have killed no
women or children"
OGALLALA, Neb., October 3.-A courier
this evening from Captain Mauck's COM
mand reports that the Indians were last
seen on Republican River. They had
killed every white man they came across
on the route, and stolen horses and COM
mitted other depredations. There are
about one hundred well armed and well
mounted warriors and one hundred and
fifty squaws and children in the party.
CNcINNArr, October A special from
Denver says the Indians east OF that place
and north of the Kansas Pacific Railroad
are committing horrible deprsdations al
Buffalo Station. Seventeen men were
killed 1t is probable the entire State
militia will be called out.

NEW YORK.
The Fitz John Porter Case,

New YORK, October Sat the Fiz John
Porter trial to-day, Captain Douglas Pope
was called for cross examination by
Porter's counsel, the object being to prove,
if he insisted in confirming his previous
testimony, that he made subsequent state
ments, in conversations, contradictory OF
his evidence as to the 4:30 P. M. order.
Witness denied that he ever said he lost
his way when he started with the order
from Pope to Porter. Colonel Moole, of
the third United States Infantry has de-
clared positively that Captain Pope re-
peatedly said in his hearing that he got
lost on the twenty-ninth of August, carry
ing the 4:30 P. NJ. order, and did moi
reach Porter till near dark.
Cross examined-Moole said his rela-
tions with Captain Pope always we're and
still are friendly, and that he was reluc
tafit to give the testimony. Lieutenant F.
D. Kones, of the'Thirty- Seventh Infantry
gave testimony similar to that of Mooie,

NO MORE OvERNMENr RAT1ONs,



The following dispatch 10 /, N. Marks,
Esq, from the Secretary of War probably
disposes of the question of further Gov
ernment rations:
WASHINGTON, D. c., October 8. 1878.
To Isaac N. Marks, New Orleans, Louisiana.
I am in receips Of telegram signed by
presidents of New Orleans charitable
associations, asking me to reconsider the
question Of sending forty thousand ad-
ditional rations to your city for relief Of
yellow fever suffers. You say the Howard
Association refuses TO aid you, on the
grounds that the funds in their hands
have been sent with the exppess object in
aid of suffers from yellow fever. am
still of the opinion that it is possible for
you to get relief from private sources, and
that 1t is not . case for the extension Of
government aid in the absencs Of author
ity II the Howard Association have q
large unexpendsd fund. they can probably
help you. At all events their discretion
Is far more ample than mine.

prudent advances and acceptances on
India and Australian account and an
attempt to help the iron trade in the
north of England. 1t appears that
in the matter of Indian produce and
Australian wool the bank had ac-
cepted bills to the amount of four
teen millions of dollars for three
firms alone. According to the Times
financial article, reported by cable,
the bank fell at last into very reck-
less habits of bolstering up various
financial leaning towers, and put it,
self in a position to certainly lose.
Of course the London financiers
try to put as good a face on this
matter as possible; they believe this
failure to be entirely exceptional; do
not look for a panic; the Bank of
England is exceptionally strong, etc.
We have an occasional escapade
of -thsr Pnasiaant of a saHiugs bank
with $4,000 or $4,000, which one
political party attributes to resump-
ton and another to greenbacks, but
we do not remember when an Ameri-
can banking institution has gone
down with hundred or two mil
lions. The Bank of California, where
greenbacks are simply merchandise,
and any coin below a dime too
triaing to be rated as currency, tried
to make big failure year or two
ago, but its efforts are dwarfed by
this master stroke of the City Bank
of Glasgow. t

and the brothers Daniel and Charlie Tay-
lor colored.
Total cases to date, 246; total deaths to

The news from Brulees Choupic, in
Lafourche, and Labadie, in Assumption,
is not encouraging. The fever is spread
ing rapidly and victims are dying daily.
The fever has never, at any previous
time, visited those devoted sections,
hence no one knows how to nurse the
disease, and are liable to fall beneath its
influence.
From Assumption Dr. Thomas Pugh,
son of Colonel William W. Pugh, is
down. This is a great blow to the poor
people of his neighborhood, for he was
not only on duty as physician of skill,
but was acting theh,Art of q good Samari-

cases in all were reported yesterday eve
ming, with two deaths.

NEW ORLEANS, OcLoDef 1910
Hon John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury,
Washington, ID. G.
There is more need of aid than ever
The wharves are bare, industrial enter
prises closed up, and nearly every labor
ing man out of employment.
A meeting, last Monday, of nearly all
charitable associations, developed the
EAot that with tho exception of the How
ards, funds are nearly exhausted.
The Howards furnish no statement of
funds on hand. 1t may not be consistent
with their rules to do so.
Provisions are most needed, and in my
opinion the Orleans Relief Committee is
the best organized for such distribution.
They have reported the need of 1000
rations, in addition to what have been is
sued. I have no idea that will be enough.
Thirty charitable associations, through
a committee, have made an appeal to the
country, which goes over the wires to-
night. l cordially indorse the represen-
tations made therein.

STATE ELECTIONS.
Revised Returus from Colorado.

DENVER, October 3.-Revised returns
from twenty one counties increase the
majorities heretofore repopted. Belford's
majority over Patterson, Democrat, for
Congress, is 2745; Pitzin's majority over
Loveland, for Governor, $500. The coun-
ties yet to be reported will probably in
crease the average Republican majority in
the State to 5000. The Greenback vote
in the State will aggregate about 1900.
The Legislature will stand: four Republi-
cans to one Democrat.
