Gambetta Going Down.

Paris, Jan. 15.-The first number of
La Justice, new radical newspaper,
started by Clemenceau, a member of
the chamber of deputies. made its ap-
pearance to-day. 1t demands the adop-
tion by the government of a frankly
popular policy and an application of
the principle of equality in all matters,
including amnesty. 1t is thought La
Justice will be for Gambetta what
Republique Francuise was for Theirs
and MacMahon, and make him popular
with the democracy, before he has con-
solidated his power over the more
moderate element of the electorate. 1t
is again said that Gambetta, since in
stalling himselfin the Palais Bourbon,
has offended almost everybody by his
pompous manners. He influences min
isterial decisions, and if minister
ventures to resist any of his orders, he
pursues him with relentless fury,

New York, Jan. 15.-It is under
stood that in conference with Chief
Ouray yesterday, Schurz insisted that
the Utes must remove from Colorado.
This statement is made on good author
ity, and, if true, indicates that the
southern band, which has remained
peaceable, and has co-operated with
the government authorities, is to be
treated the same as the hostile Utes, so
far as Punishment from the state is
concerned. 1t appears that Ouray and
his companions are becoming consid-
erably discontented already with the
state of seclusion to which they are
subjected by the orders of the secreta-
ry. Ouray, in particular, is said to
complain that while he has proved him
self true in every sense, he is treated
more as hostage than otherwise, and
further, that he has never been allowed
to present his side of the case to the
American people, save as it has been
filtered through the officials of the in
terror department.

New York, Jan. ia special to
the Times from Washington presents
the details of telegraph scheme in
troduced in the senate yesterday in the
form of a petition, for the incorpora-
tion of company by James A. Scrym-
ser, of Cuba cable notoriety, and VIM.
G. Hamilton. 1t is surmised that the
Western Union telegraph company is
backing the scheme. 1t proposes estab-
fishing submarine cable from Texas,
by the shores of Mexico, across the
Tehuantepec, for which permission has
been granted by the government inter-
ested, and to extend this line by the
way of San Salvador, Nicaragua, Cos
ia Rica, Panama and Ecuador to Peru,
where connection can be had with the
established lines to Chill, Buenos Ayres
and Brazil.
The petitioners suggest that the COM
pletion of railway across the isthmus
to Tehuantepec. and the proposed ship
canal will open a direct trade between
our great cities and Central America,
South America, China, India, Austria
liza and Japan, by way of the gulf of
Mexico, and that this trade will be
greatly benefited by rapid telegraphic
communication. They ask the govern
ment to aid in surveying the route of
the cable and to grant them subsidy
in the form of contract for sending
government messages.

SECRET COUNCILS.
Schurz Refuses Information Regard
ing the Present Ute Pow-vow,

Chicago, Jan. 15.-The' Inter Ocean
says editorially: 1t is refreshing to
learn from Washington specials that
Ouray and the other Utes who did not
participate in the late massacre, and
who, events have abundantly proved,
have no influence with the tribes, are
about to be furnished with new clothes
preparatory to being talked at by the
interior department. Meanwhile, the
perpetrators of the massacre and of the
horrible outrages afterwards, go un-
punished. This additional palaver, to
no purpose, with Ouray will but en-
phasize the imbecility or indifference to
the atrocities in question. Sec. Schurz
is doing nothing with the Ute Indians
which he has under guard at hotel
there. and the lips of their attendants
have been Theoretically sealed by his
order. He has daily conferences with
Ouray, ON whom he is trying to impress
the fact that this great government is
powerful to reward or punish, and if
the whole nation of Utes do not turn
in and assist in bringing those guilty of
the Meeker massacre to punishment,
the doctrine of the Vicarious atone
ment will be reversed, and many will
have to suffer for the crimes of few.
He impresses the mind of Ouray with
the fact that he has not come there to
complain of bad treatement, which is
the usual motive of the Indian. visits
to Washington, but that the great
father has sent for him to complain of
his conduct, that the Indians, not the
government, are the defendants in this
action. Ouray goes back to his COM
panions after these interviews with
Schurz and reports what has been said,
but the secretary does not think that he
has got them up to that pitch where
council with the great father will be
effective. v
The secretary refuses to allow report
ers to see the Indians, and says news
paper publications have already inter-
fered with the work of the commission.
Gen. Adams is of the opinion that the
guilty Utes might have been secured
had the temper of the Colorado press
not been fierce against them. The
Utes have a knowledge of what Is pub
lished, and the publication of what is
going on here would certainly be
known by the Utes in Colorado. For
this reason the councils with Ouray and
his braves will be secret and the reeults
secret, lest the publication of them may
prevent whatever is agreed upon being
carried out.

FORT OMAHA.
The Omaha Bee says:
Yesterdays kilograms bring the well
come news that Omaha is likely to re-
ceive another boost in the shape of an
appropriation for further Improvements
at Fort Omaha. The vice-president
has laid before the senate communi-
cation from thesecretary of war, trans
mitting an estimate of SIT ,404 for the
construction of officers quarters at
Fort Omaha, and recommending an
appropriation therefor.
The matter was referred, and with
such a strong recommendation as that
of the secretary of war, it is very like
ly that it will be reported on favora-
bly,, and that the appropriation will be
granted. If SO, the construction of
the new officers quarters will very
likely be begun this summer and fin
ished before next winter. The new
buildings will be of brick, and will oc-
cupy the row on the west side of the
fort enclosure.
All this means the permanency Of
Fort Omaha and the military head
quarters Of the department of the Platte
at this point. Within the past year
there has been expended over 500, ,000
in permanent improvements at Fort
Omaha, among which are the head
quarters building, large, handsome
three-story brick structure; a large
brick residence for the commanding
