boy named Adolphus Williams from
his home on 303 Bright street, Indian
apolis, and started on foot with him
towards this place. They walked 16
miles the first day, when the boys feet
became sore. Amos took a rope and
a cat-o-nine-tail and lashed the boy to
make him walk on. He whipped the
boy until he nearly tainted. They
walked on to Irish Mound, begging as
they went, the boy being forbidden on
pain Of death, to make. no complaint.
At this place he took another little boy
named Ratclifiie and started towards
Pittsburgh, compelling the boys to
walk over the frozen roads, and beat
ing them numerically whenever they
complained.
They had reached Troy, Ohio, when
they were overtaken by parties from
here and brought back. Amos says he
intended to take the boys to Harris
burg, Pa, to his mother and have her
raise them. He is light colored mu.
latto, very tall and slight. He says he

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Washington, Feb. 22.-It is said TO
be fact that Folger will be secretary
of the treasury.
Senator Logan stated positively yes
terday that Robert T. Lincoln will be
secretary of war under Garfield.
Republican senators are surprised
at Blaine not resigning, as his successor
cannot be elected until the second
Tuesday after his resignation has been
received. No doubt is expressed that
Blaine will be secretary of state, and it
is concluded that he will retain his seat
until after March 4th, and help organ
ize the new senate.
Although Senator Carpenter is quite
i'll his attending physician sees de-
cided improvement, and is confident
that he will recover. 1t is not likely,
however, that he will be able to take
part in the organization of the senate.
Should he be absent, and Senator
Malone vote with the republicans,
they would have only 81, while the
democrats would have 3S votes, calcu-
lating that Pennsylvania elects sena-
tor in time. Some of the democrats
claim that in this case nobody should
pair with Carpenter, and it is urged
there was a precedent two years ago
when the democrats had to bring their
sick and dying into the house to secure
an organization. Even a division
causes all sorts of maneuvers.
The state congressman who have
talked with the president and Secre-
tary Thurman, say the funding bill will
not be vetoed.
The resolutions Of the inaugural
military committee condemning the
appointment by Gen. Sherman of Gen.
Field, ex-confederate doorkeeper Of
the house, to command a division dur
ing the inaugural, caused breeze here.
Gen. Sherman maintains his right to
appoint assistants, and insists on Field
serving.

Chicago have made sufficient in one
year to pay off the national debt. The
freight rates are now fifteen per cent
higher than they ought to be- These
roads have been doing exactly that for
which you send man to Sing Sing.
The Times says of the meeting: The
numbers and character of the audience
at the anti-monopoly meeting last night
sufficiently demonstrated the growth of
public interest in set of questions
which are taking foremost places among
the political issues of the day. The
speeches and resolutions of the meeting
were Enthusiastically earnest and were
directed toward entirely practical re-
suits.
The league fully recognizes the neees-
sity for the indefinite reduplication of
its organization and for thorough
agitation of its principles in every rart
of the union.

Paris, Feb. 22.-The agricultural
society adopted resolution demanding
that the ministry commence negotia-
tions with the United States for the re-
vocation of the alleged decision of the
United States forbidding the landing of
French wines at American ports on
the pretext that they are injurious to
the health. The society believes the
decision is simply a reprisal for the in
terdiction by France of the importa-
tion of American bacon.

anti monarchy and republican views
have for some time been powerful.
The chamber consists of 204 men,
bers, and is decidedly democratic. The
minister of finance, Hans Ludwig For
sell, had introduced a measure for levy
ing of an income tax. The opposition,
largely composed of men with republi-
can sympathies, opposed the measure,
and on test vote yesterday, defeated
it. The impression prevails that Min

teIs will resign.

An Engineers Report on the Condi-

An Engineers Report on the Condi-
tfon of tho Harbor.
Washington, Feb. 22.-The secretary
of war to-day transmitted to the house
of representatives an elaborate and
highly interesting report prepared by
Col. Geo. II. Mendall, of the U. S.
engineer corps, In response to Horace
Davis resolution calling for informa-
tion' as to all the causes tending
to diminish the tidal area of San
Francisco bay and lessen the tidal
scour on the bar, and thereby decrease
the depth Of water upon said bar and
diminish the status of San Francisco
as commercial harbor. Col. Mendal
first specifies the natural causes which
are practically not subject to control.
He describes the drainage system of the
rivers emptying into San Francisco
bay, and shows how the rapid fall of
their tributaries and violence of rains
favor the erasion, and transportation
of earthly matter from the mountains,
and the steady conversion of marshes
into dry land. The present extent Of
the marshes in San Francisco bay, in-
cluding Snison and San Pablo bays, is
stated at three hundred square miles.
Mention is next made of similar ten
dencies Of hydraulic mining, and the
report then proceeds to consider the
artificial causes, such as the construc-
tion of piers and jetties-and the utiliz-
alton Of state and city grants of sub
merged lands.
Referring to the piers and training
walls at Oakland, Col. Mendall says:
The tendency Of the structures is to
hold the material drifted along the

ter man selected than Davis.
