ysn,ilasans and CleanslnE Drains.

A writer in the Philadelphia "Led-
GER" offers the following practical sug-
gestions upon this very important
matter:
Thirty years OF practical working in
this line have told me facts which are
mot always regarded. Suppose We did
moi clean eur house for ten or twelve
wears, what would be the RESULT Un-
doubtedly, nlth and vermin. Suppose
We did not clean our persons for the
same length of time, the end is horri-
bic to contemplate. Now. then, the
cause Of the trouble in the first place is
the filthy condition Of the water-closets
and soil pipes that are hidden from
view by elegantly fitted.up bathrooms
and wash basins.
Not long ago was called upon to
look at some work Of that kind, and af-
ter removing the accumulated filth and
the odor from the same, would have
sickened the stomach Of the strongest
man. This was venting Its odor night
and day, causing the children to have
sore throats and other ailings, while
the family knew not Its source. The
work had been in that condition for
eighteen years, and the fifth Of that
time was there.
The remedy is to have the soil pipes
run through the roof the same size as
the pipes to closets. Have q good sup
ply Of water to wash out the closet and
pipe, for which the old-fashioned reser-
voir is the only supply. Also, have
the closet and trap cleaned and var
nished at least once year-twice
would be better. Where II is practica-

Suectat Dtspoteh to The Chicago TrfbunA
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Ex-senator
Bayard, referring to the card published by
Gov. Boutwell,, {. A. Arthur, Noah Davis,
and Roscoe Conkling, charging him with
having made certain statements in the mat
ter of the Phelps-Dodge case, says: "The
statement referred to as having been pub
lished in the Philadelphia Press Of Oct. 20
and in the State Sentinel at Dover. were
never heard Of by me until the 18th of No
.ye1nber, and then settled the iact that had
made no such statements by saying they
were false and malicious, and l resented
the imputation that T had at any
time made such charges. It is not necessary
for me at present to comment OIL the pub
lication in the National Republican which
you have just shown me.''
THE FACTS
in regard to the affair as they appear upon
the books Of the Treasury Department. arc
these: Phelps, Dodge & Co. had purchased
merchandise costing them in Europe about
$4,000, 600, and, by reason Of the large amount
involved, they had secured prices considera-
bly, below the ruling market value of the
merchandise. The property was invoiced to
them at the plices paid, and upon
this invoice the duties were assessed
and paid. a second invoice was sent private
iy to the firm by their purchasing agent in
Europe, giving the market value of the mer-
chandise in Europe, and this information also
reached A1r. Jayne, the special officer Of the
Treasury. BY law, the duty should have
been assessed upon
THE MARKET VALUE
OF the importations, and noto the price paid
for them, and the penalty for violation or
evasion of this law was forfeiture Of the
merchandise. When the developments were
made known the firm offered to COM
promise the matter by paying to
the Government S271,017. without costs.
Secretary Boutwell, did not at first wish to
enter into this, arrangement, and advised tho
firm to take the matter into the courts. lie
afterwards assented, however, and the mon
ey, was paid over. After paying costs there
was left 52o2, 2,s72, and this money was dis

THE CREEKS,
THEIR PROSPECTS AND CONDITION.
Special Dtspateh to The Chicago Tribune.

Special Dtspateh to The Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IA de!ega-
| tion of Creek Indians, headed by Col Pleas
! ant Porter, arrived in Washington this week
| from the Indian Territory. In the course of
| a conversation with THE TRIBUNE CORE
spondent, Col. Porter communicated several
| facts Of interest relating to the condition and
| prospects Of his people. lie said that the
last year has been very prosperous one for
them. Their crops have been abundant
More, corn and wheat were produced this
season than ever before in one year. All
the people are well supplied with bread
stuffs. The Creeks have paid much attention
to the Improvement of the breed Of
stock in their country, and most OF their
cattle are now graded as high and bring as
good prices In the market as do the cattle
from the ranches Of Colorado and Kansas,
Col: Porter says that
THE CULTIVATION OF COTTON
is rapidly becoming an important industry
among all the civilized tribes Of the Indian
Territory. This year the crop was very fine
one, and it is being sold for a good price,
Before he left the Territory about Z, 600 bales
Of cotton had been shipped from two places,
Eufaula and Muskogee, where there are sew
eral cotton-gins.
Speaking 01 the educational progress of his
people, Col. Porter said that the schools have
been very prosperous during the past year.
The attendance Of the pupils has been great
cr and more regular than in years past, and
parents generally evince more interest in
the
. EDUCATION: OF THEIR CHILDREN
than ever before.
Col. Porter says that the force of Indian
police, organized some months ago by Indian
Agent Tafts, has done very efficient service.
Law-breakers have been hunted down and
arrested and punished, and the moral effect
has been exceedingly good. The country
has never been so quiet as during the last
few months.
Considerable apprehension Is felt among
the civilized tribes On account Of the Payne
expedition which has been organized In
Kansas to invade the Indian Territory, but
the Indians still hope that the movement
will be frustrated without bloodshed. They
are very determined that the proposed seizure
of their lands by lawless whites shalt not
take place, and believe that the United States
troops will prevent it.
