A Washington correspondent of the Chi.
cago Inter Ocean, under date of the 4th
inst, says that Secretary Schurz's uupopu-
larity and the notorious ineficiency OF the
present Indian commissioner, taken togeth.
er with the present Indian outbreaks, and
the genera! troubles that are impending,
have great influence on the transfer of the
Indian bureau to the war department, and
will probably secure its passage. Secretary
Schurz is active in lobbying against ii, and
has sent in batch of nominations for In.
dian sgents to the senate, whose appoint

declined to make. The Inter. Ocean cores

The movement against Judge Bennett,
In Deadwood, as it comes to US through
the papers Of that city, indicate thst it is q
repetition of last summers abortive attempt
TO remove him from Office because he is not
made of that plastic material which yields
to the corrupt approaches Of parties pecu.
niarily interested in the decisions which
are given by him in important cases. The
Rapid City Journal says:
There has been a clique for a year past
determined by any means, fair or foul. 70
secure the removal of Judge Bennett. Pc
tition after petition was sent to Washing
ton last summer and personalinf1uence used
with the department of justice and the pre-
sident to secure a change, but in vain. Maj.
Chase was sent out by the department, and
after a thorough investigation, pronounced
the charges false and that Judge Bennett
ought to be retained. We have every rea.
son to believe that this new assault is only
the old one revived, and if so it deserves
the severest condemnation of all good citi-
Zens.
The proceedings against Judge Bennett
have been of a secret nature. Advantage
was taken of his absence from the Hills
and ex psr,e statements rejecting on his in.
tegritY we're forwarded to Washington by
special messenger. The whole movement,
we are satisfied, is made in the interest of
q few individuals TO whom an honest Judge
is an abomination. Knowing Judge Ben.
Bett as we Of southeastern Dakota do, we
cannot for q moment harbor any suspi-
cion against the man. His honesty, up
rightness and purity of character are his
preeminent traits. Deadwood cannot de-
stroy him.

THE WAR TROUBLES.

Advices from Tifiis state the typhus is
raging among the Russian troops in Asia.
Generals Milikoff, Solowieff and Schelkoff
nikoff are reported to have died. 1t is be-
lieved that more men have been lost by

A Berlin paper prints St. Petersburg
letter which declares England's claims have
produced so bad an impression in Russia
that meeting of the Congress is doubtful.
Nevertheless, it is believed in Vienna and
Berlin that the Congress will meet the I'd of
April.
According to the treaty Of San Stefano,
the evacuation Of European Turkey, except
Bulgaria, must be completedin three months
after definite peace, and portion of the
Russian troops may embark in the Black Sea
and the Sea of Marmora. Russia has thus
insured herself the right, or at any rate the
possibility, of having portion of her troops
always around Constantinople until final
settlement is signed.
Suleiman Pasha has turned up alive and
well at Constantinople, and will stand trial
for conspiracy. 1t was rumOred that he had

A London special of the 23d says: The
feeling Of irritation between the British and
Russian people is increasing, and the opin-
ion is generally expressed drought Europe
that prospects for the meeting of the Con-
gress have been largely diminished during
the past three days. St. Petersburg cor
respondent telegraphs that Russia has
sent or is about to send formal request
for the withdrawal of the British fleet
from the Sea of Marmora. OF course
compliance with this demand is not eX-
pected, and if it should be made it can
only increase the present feeling of distrust
and pave the way for more complications or
perhaps war There seems to be no imme-
date probability that either nation will re-
tire from its position relative to the sub
mission Of the treaty to the Congress, and
unless Prince Bismarck can induce them to
agree upon some compromise it is quite i'm
probable that the Congress will be held. Ev-
cry thing is unsettled and rumors daily grow
more warlike, but most OF them are wholly
false or premature.
England and Russia are both making
large contracts for torpedo boats and other
war material, also for hospital supplies.
A London dispatch of the 25th says: The
controversy between England and Russia is
approaching that dangerous stage where the
point of honor more and more engages at
tention. Vienna correspondents say The full
text Of the treaty of San Stefano has re-
newed strong anti-Russian feeling there.
There is no difference of opinion about
the real meaning Of the treaty. 1t
is not Russian prepOnderance, but Russian
rule, in European Turkey, and it is just be-
cause such alterations as would remove this
feature would entirely destroy the treaty
that less confidence is felt in the efficacy Of
the Congress since its publication. While
Count Andrassy will demand a revision of
the entire treaty, he will decline to do so in
combination with England, because theirin-
terests are not identical.
