General Garfield should restrain the

Secretary Schurz says that troops will at
once be ordered to Indian Territory, to
repel the invasion Of Captain Payne. As
the force under the latter is reported to
be quite large the prospects OF scrim.

WASHINGTON. July l0.-No word has
vet been received at the Executive man
sion or the Treasury Department OF the
acceptance by Governor llartranft OF
the appointment OF Collector OF the
port Oi Philadelphia. Ii Was under
stood 10 day that any further delay
could not be accepted, as the interests oil
the public business Of Philadelphia re-.
quired that the office Of Collector should
not be permitted To rest in this uncer-
tain state any longer. Ii has been as
certained from authoritive sources that
an understanding has been had he
tween Senator's Cameron and Wallace
which will dispose Of the question OF
confirmation very snmmarlly. In re-
gard 10 the confirmation of Governor
Hartranft Senator Wallace will not in
terfere with any wishes that Senator
Cameron may have in the matter. Tn
der this arrangement Senator Cameron
will have the collectorship entirely in
his hands 10 prevent il passing into
hands inimical 10 his interests. and
should the Democrats carry the Presl.
dental election Senator Wallace will
then select his own man. From the
present outlook there il no probability
OF Governor llariranit's confirmation
under any circumstances, and the de-
cision having been rendered. that he
can draw no compensation until
confirmed. his friends think he
had better remain where he is. As
soon as hc would accept the collector
ship q postmaster would doubtless be
appointed, which would in all prObabll-
ity result in him losing both offices.

United States declined to unite with

necessary war to close. The important
commercial interests of all nations in
that section have seriously suffered, and,
the United States having taken the
initiative, England and Germany Will
