A dispatch Of the 9th April from
Washington says that the interior
department entirely discredits the
story of Saluskin, the Indian prisoner,
relative to the alleged treachery of
Moses last summer. The depart
ment has amplest evidence from civil
and military officers of the incorrect
ness of the statement. The depart
ment thinks there is desire on the
part of certain whites of Northwest
ern Oregon and northern Washington
to provoke hostiHties in order to lead
to expenditures of money by the gov
eminent i'll that vicinity. The Indian
bareau some time since received adj
vices from responsible parties that
every effort would be made by certain
white men in that locality to provoke
Indian hostilities with this end in
view The story about Moses is a
revival of the old canard of last sum
mer, which was investigated and dis
proved at the time.
Gen. Howard is also of the opinion
that Moses is trustworthy. At least
he has faithfully kept his word with
Gen. Howard in all things, and has
done exactly as he said he would.
The misrepresentation of Moses and
Wilbur are only part OF the scheme
Of disreputable whites, who wish to
get up war to make money out OF
it.

Immigration Wanted.

Seattle has awakened, and cries
aloud. An immense mass meeting
of citizens was held there Saturday
night, the object being to devise
means for advertising Puget Sound
abroad, and securing this section a
portion of the large immigration now
setting in toward the Pacific Coast.
Stirring speeches were delivered by
ex-delegate Jacobs, Judge Burke,
Col. Larrabce and James Mcknight.
Great enthusiasm was manifested.
The hall was crowded to Overlooking,
and the speakers were frequently in
terrupted by deafening applause.
Judge Jacobs said, in the course of
his remarks, that there was no coun-
try in the United States now open to
settlement that offered such induce
ments to immigrants as Puget Sound,
vet this fact was generally known.
We have never made any effort to
advertise our resources. The east is
sending west annually sixty thousand
emigrants, and 100000 more are ar
irving from Europe, making total
emigration westward yearly ofo50, 900.
The Pacific coast receives 100000 of
these, and Puget Sound should en-
deavor to secure at least nefourth
of this number. We can do this by
properly setting fourth our advan-
tages Though but sparscly settled,
Washington Territory is Weather in
proportion to its population than all
most any other section of the United
States. Our assessed valuation is
s19,O00,000. This gives every man.,
woman and child in the Territory
1885. The average throughout the
United States is but 1858. Yet our
great resources are comparatively all
undeveloped. Wealth remains to be
created from these by labor Pre-
vious to adjournment, a committee
was appointed to draft bylaws and
constitution for permanent organiza-
ton OF an immigrants aid society
A committee was appointed to pre-
pare for publication a pamphlet for
general distribution in the east, set
ting forth the advantages of Puget
Sound. Another committe was APP
pointed to collect funds to detrav ex-
penses. 1t was also voted that an
advertisement drawn up by Col Lar
rabee calling attention to the advan-
tages of Puget Sound be inserted in
all leading eastern and San Fran

Since the last attempt to murder
the emperor of Russia the govern
ment has adopted a severe policy to-
ward the socialists. They are arrested
by thousands and imprisoned, and
plotting students are also arrested
Half the police are found to be in a
conspiracy against the government.
On the whole the condition of the
country is critical and the reigning
government has task in overcoming

An association of New York Bank
ers on Friday week subscribed for
19o,o00,000 Of L. 5. 4 per cent bonds,
the largest single subscription ever
made in the world. One of the hap
piest effects Of this large subscription
will be to advance the price of 4 per
cent bonds in the English market and
make them much sought after. These
enormous subscriptions only illustrate
the great material developing the last
three years, which passes the under
standing not only of Europe, but of
our own financial men.

News from many points in the
South confirms the reports of the ne
gro exodus, and indicates that the
planters are becoming seriously
alarmed. Professional polite ians who
look at everything from a partisan
standpoint profess to believe that the
movement is the result of a concerted
effort to colonize Ohio, Indiana and
Missouri, and make them solid for the
Republican candidates in 1880. But
this can hardly be, because we have
been told that the southern negros
had all become democrats.

Bats and Their WAYS.
Cincinnati Inquirer
London Naturalist.

Bats live their active lives in the
night, when sunlight comes they fly
away to their holes, there to sleep until
twilight comes again, when they resume
their occupation of insect-killing. The
female bat has hard time Of it; she is
the nest, and has to procure the food
for her young until they are themselves
able to fly. Often | have seen female
bat with her young clinging to her
breast, flying about in search Of food,
and the little ones were not so small
either. How else could they get along?
The old ones make no nest; if they
wanted to ever 50 much they could not,
and the chances are that from their
wandering habits they spend the day in
one place and the next in another two
or three miles distant, just as they hap
pen to be when day overtakes them,
and if they left their young behind them
the exact locality might be forgotten
When the young ones are to shift for
themselves their mothers life is easier,
and until winter comes to kill insect
food she lives luxuriously. Then, when
all nature lis preparing to put on the
livery of winter, instead Of leaving the
scenes where they have passed the sum-
mer, repair to their haunts in the caves
and walls, and hanging by their hind
feet in little groups of five or six togeth-
er, pass the dreary season in one unbro-
ken sleep.

known to the men around the barn that
ne was very DESTROYS of joining some
secret society in town. When ques-
toned, he admitted that such was the
case, and the boys at once offered to in
ltlate HIM into a new order, called ''The
Cavaliers of Coveo." He was told that
1t was twice as secret as Free Masonry,
much nicer than Odd Fellowship, and
the cost was only So. In case he had
the toothache he could draw S. per
week from the relief fund, and he was
entitled to receive $40 for every head
ache, and $50 for sore throat
The young man thought he had
struck a big thing, and after eating a
hearty dinner he was taken into store
room above the barn to be initiated.
The Boys poured cold water down his
back, put flour on his hair, swore him
to kill his mother if commanded, and
rushed him around for an hour with
out single complaint from his lips.
When they had finished, he inquired:
Now Pm enc of the Cavaliers of Co.
veo, am I?''
You are" they answered.
Notiling more 10 learn, is there?
Nothing"
"Well, then, I'm going to lick the
whole crowd" continued the candidate,
and he went at it, and before he got
through he had So initiation fee back,
and So more to boot, and had knocked
everybody down two or three times
apiece. He didn't seem greatly dis
treSSed in mind as he drove ont of the
barn. On the contrary, his hat was
slanted over, he had fresh five cent
cigar in his teeth, and he mildly said to
one Of the barn boys:
Say, boy, if you hear of any cava-
llers asking for Coveo about my size,
tell 'em I'll be in on the full of the
moon to take the Royal Skyfugle de-
oreeS y
