InvnSiOn OF tho Indian TerrltOry

AT the cabinet meeting in Washington,
yesterday the threatened invasion Of the
Indian Territory by the squatters under
Carpenter was the principal subject of
discussion. The president has already,
by proclamation warned these people
not to encroach upon the Indian reser-
vat.on, but Carpenter has practically
snapped his fingers at the warning,
and the squatters are greatly excited
and encouraged to persist by the re-
ported discovery of silver on the north
Fork of the Canadian, the ebjectiv.
point of the threatened incursion. The
Attorney General, during the cabinet
meeting, gave it as his opinion that tho
retrocesson of lands by the Creeks aud
Semnoles in 1866 could not be consid-
cred an opening of these lands to gen.
eral settlement, as claimed by Carpen-
ter and his associates. 1t was also
agreed that the military could be used
to prevent the invasion, should it be
attempted, upon the simple call OF the
Indian commissioner, recent restrictive
legislation of Congress to the Contrary
Notwithstanding. 1t will appear from
this that the President and cabinet
think they have some power over the
movements of the army in spite of the
formidable posse comitatus section of the
act of 1875

FOURTH EDITION.
An Old Citizens Decease.

About half-past four o'clock this
morning Israel Pussy, an old and o..
Unable citizen, died at his residence,
No. 500 West street. He came to this
city from the vicinity Of London Grove,
Chester county, in 1898 and started in
the leather business at Fourth and
Orange streets, and found the Oldest
leather establishment in the city, low
doing business at Third and Madison
streets. In lS45 he sold this place to
Isaac T. Chamberlin, who ere, ted the
fine structure which at present stands
upon its site. The business, which
was then carried on under the firm
name Of Pussy, Mari, Scott & Co., was
transferred to the S. Il. corner of Third
and Tatnall streets, Which place was
afterwards vacated upon the erection of
the immense structure at Third and
Madison streets.
In the meantime (ls4s) Mr.. Mari left
the city and went to California, leaving
Messrs. Pussy, Scott & Co., to carry on
the business At the last named location.
During Mr.. Pusey's business career he
has turned out many apprentices who
have become prominent business msn,
among them being Col. Henry 5. Nc.
Comb, and Mr.. William Pyle, although
the business at Third and Madison
streets is carried on under the old firm
name Mr.. Pusey has not been actively
engaged in its prosecution and has
not been for several years past. He
has not been in good health for con,
siderable time back and his early de-
cease has been in mournful expectation
in his family and among his large cir
clio Of acquaintance for some time. He
was an upright and most estimabls cit
izen and member of the society of
friends. He leaves wife and three
grown daughters, and was about sixty
eight years of age.

California; Election,

California votes to day on the ques-
ton Of the adoption of the new consti-
tuition. Business will be generally sus
pended. The campaign has been an
unusually vigorous one on both sides.
Crowded public meetings have been
held every night for weeks throughout
the State. The business classes are gem
orally solid against the adoption of the
constitution. The workingmen's party
advocate it is party measure. The
agricultural class is divided. Each
party is confident of carrying the day.
Registration in San Francisco exceeds
$4,000, including the challenge list of
over 5000, and it is believed over 49,
900 votes will be pollrd there. Every
precaution has been taken to prevent
fraudulent voting and to secure good Or
