INDIAN STUDENTS.

Hampton Institute Scholars En- Route For
Massachusetts For the Summer Vaoa-
tiOn.
NEW YORK, June 17.-Early this morn
ing party of twenty-three children and
youths of both sexes arrived in this city.
They are members of the normal and
agricultural institute at Hampton, Va,
and are on their way to Berkshire county,
Mass, where they will pass the summer
vacation of about three months in the
homes of farmers who have agreed to
take them for that period. They will
be placed in families chiefly in the towns
of Stockbridge and Monterey. The boys
will work on the farms and the girls
will help in housework. The party COM
prises 16 boys and Z girls, of ages ranging
from II to % years. They are chiefly Of
the Sioux nation, but include representa-
tives of Pawnees, Rickaroos, Absentee,
Shawanees, Gros Ventres and Menomi-
nee Indians. The length of their stay at
Hampton has been about one and half
years. By their appearance no one would
suppose they had been removed from
barbarism for only 50 short a
time They all seem bright
and intelligent, and some of the boys
positively good looking, The males have
| their hair cut short and are dressed in
neat grey cadet uniforms After visit
ing points of interest in the city they
were taken to private house where the
Indians entertained the company assem-
bled, by singing 'My Faith Looks up to

Bounced 6y Bright.

WASHINGTON, June 17-Sergeant-a at
Arms Bright of the Senate has discharged
several employees, and it is reported that
he intends to make more discharges at
the end Of this month This course evil
IDENTIFY gives great dissatisfaction to Dem
ocratic Senators One Democratic Sen
ator now here says that just before the
Senate adjourned some intended removal
was mentioned, and Democratic Senators
gave Bright plainly to understand that
no removals should be made during the
recess. AS the Democrats resisted the
change of Senate officers on the
ground that it would be unjust to
turn out men who had worked all through
the session just as the recess was coming
on, the understanding was that no change
should be made before next winter The
indications are that when Congress meets
again the Democrats will make q rigid
inquiry about these dismissals Nothing
can be done until then, however, as when
the Senate is not in session the sergeant
alarms has absolute power One man
discharged by Bright has been in the
employ Of the Senate over twenty years,
having been originally appointed by a
Democratic sergeant alarms before the
rebellion.

Opposed to Coalition.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Gen. Wick
ham and Congressman ELECT Dazendorf,
of Virginia, accompanied by deputation
of white and colored Republicans, has ar
rived here to urge the President against
favoring a Republican coalition with the
readiusters Wickham claims that such
a coalition will disorganize and disrupt
the Republican party of Virginia.
He also maintains if the Republicans
make a straight fight with ticket
and on platform declaring fo1
honest payment of the State debt, they
can carry the State He says the Demo
Gratis will be afraid to take in their plat
form, ground for payment of the debt,
for fear that would drive men from the
party to the Readjusters, and that if the
Republicans make bold and manly fight
for debt payment, aud against repudia-
ton, they will get the support of large
number of Democrats, especially bankers,
business men and manufacturers. Wick
ham and the debt paying Republicans
are going to start straight out Repub
lican paper in Richmond, to be called
The Debt Payer.
In reply to the statements OF Gen
Wlckman, the President is reported tc
have said he was positively and emphati
cally opposed to any party or people
whose belief would initiate against the
public faith and credit. 1t was for the
Republicans of Virginia to decide whether
or not the Readjuster movement
was tainted with reputation. L
if it were they ought!not to support it. Ii
further conversation in regard to fedora
patronage in Virginia, the President il
represented as having said no one is au
thorized to promise appointments for hin
Tor threaten removals; that in making ap
pointments to Office he propose
at all times to use his own judg
ment, and not be dictated to by an,
man, and his appointments shall alway
be made, first, with view to the publi
good, and second, with a view to tn
capacity and character of the applicant
that he is opposed to the "boss" system
of politics, and does not propose to Civ
the patronage of any State to any on
man. After some further general con
yersation, the interview terminated.

BosToN, June 17-Patriotic enthusi-

niversary of the battle of Bunker Hill.
Though the observances are chiefly on the
Charleston side of the river, yet business
in the entire city is suspended. The ex-

with a parade. Notwithstanding the
early hour, nearly 100000 people as
sembled in the vicinity of Bunker Hill
monument. Later in the forenoon there
was civic and military parade, which
was succeeded by banquets of the
different corps. The latter pro-
cession embraced several visit

dignitaries were present. Ex-Mayor Lin

ADJUSTMENTS. A
Mr.. Bald,cin,s Organ Recital.

The last organ recital for the present season
by Mr.. Samuel A. Baldwin was given at the
House of Hope church yesterday afternoon at
5 o'clock. The attendance was large, and
comprisedinearly all of the professional mu-
sicians of the city. Being the concluding re-
cital of the series it had been made particular
ly strong in the instrumental numbers. Bach's
Toccata In F. was particularly intricate Sc
lection, and the manner of its rendition was
excellent. The andante by Merkel and the
rondo caprice by Buck were also executed in a
style above criticism, while the chromatic
fantasie of Thiele was as fine piece of instru-
mentation as has been heard in st. Paul. The
concluding overture, Mendelssohn's enid
summer Nights Dream" was one of those
compositions that speak to the heart, and was
executed not only with musical precision but
soulful appreciation of the sentiment of the
composer. The vocal selections, two in number,
were rendered by Prof. w. 81. Leib, the
we'll known tenor. The mention of the fact
is all that is necessary to prove that they were
every way acceptable, if the generous applause
bestowed upon them did not fully attest it. It
is to be regretted that these recitals have come
to an end so soon, for they have been source
of great enjoyment to the music lovers of the
city. The GLOBE trusts that they will be re-
sumed at no distant day, and that the hour
will be fixed so as to afford every one an oppo--
tunity of attending.

GEO. HOFFMAN'S ABSENCE.

His Secret Society Accounts Not Square,
Simultaneous Departure of a Widow
Rumors of Foul Play.
Last Monday an ugly suspicion was
sent to the GLOBE Office to the effect that
George Hoffman, county clerk of Wrigh
county and prominently known in ST.
Paul, had deserted his wife and family
and left the country defaulter, in COM
pany with widow named Mrs. Theresa
Munding
Owing to the gravity of the charges,
and the confident hope of his speedy re-
turn expressed by friends, the report was
withheld from publication. Last even
ing the report was taken up by an after
noon paper, which construed the rumors
into bungling sensation.
The correct status of the affair is
briefly as follows: About week ago Mr.
P. J. Leitner, secretary of the order of
Druids of this State, was notified that Mr..
Hoffman had disappeared from Buffalo,
the county seat of Wright, and that his
affairs as treasurer of the local lodge were
somewhat mixed.
Mr. Leitner paid visit to Buffalo and
found that while the books showed an
actual discrepancy of S37, number of
dues had been collected which were not
accounted for. A few days before Hoff
man, who was an attorney and real es-
tate agent at Buffalo, informed his FAM
lily that he was going away and expected
to be absent several days. As he failed
to return, the family became
alarmed, and the busy tongue of scan
dal gave use to some very ugly suspi-
cions At the time of his departure there
disappeared from Buffalo woman
named Mrs. Munding, former wife of An
ton Munding, whe died last March.
Before her departure she sold 100 acres
of land at S. per acre, the real value of
which is estimated at $25 per acre. In
addition to this she converted all her
property into cash, and at the time OF leav-
ing is supposed to have had nearly So, ,O0O
Hoffman had been on very intimate terms
with the husband of Mrs. Munding and ru-
NOR had it that his frequent visits to the
house before the latter's death were
prompted more by desire to see the
wife.
Suspicion went step further, and since
both parties have left it is intimated that
Munding was "doctored," and there is
some talk of exhuming the remains.
The statement that Hoffman mortgaged
his property before leaving is fgment
from the diseased fancy of the man who
does the cayenne pepper writing for the
twilight dip.
In addition to what money he had be-
longing to the society, he is supposed to
have carried away 5000 belonging to some
minor children. As to the discrepancies
in his accounts as county clerk, no exam
ination has been made and nothing def
mite is known. Hoffman was married
and had two daughters.

ahead with the investigation. The mer-

whatever prices they chose to fix, had
to furnish the money that was refunded
to the treasury to make good the fraudu-
lent transactions The result of the dis

Pitney and his associates assumed to rep
resent Chairman Hubbell, of the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee, in raising
the contribution of S., 900, and promising
the contracts, and the merchants have,
after consultation, decided to appeal to
Hubbell about the matter. While the
money was undoubtedly paid over to the
compaign committee, it was turned in as
a avoluntary contribution from Republican
merchants. 1t is not at all likely that
Hubbell or any of the committee, ever
heard Of the stipulation IN regard to the
contracts.

THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.

| LONDON, June 16-Sir Edward Walker
chairman of the s. E. R. company, informed
meeting of that company that two expert
mental shafts for the proposed channel tun
mel have been snnk on the English side and two
on the French side, and for one of the shafts
ON the English side, gallery eighty OF
has been driven. TIE progress during last
week had been sixty-seven yards, which is
equal to two miles yearly. They have thus
solved the question of the rate of progress
for the experimental gallery and
ascertained that the lower strata is imper
meable to water The French experiments
realized exactly the same result. They had ar
rived, he said, at an understanding with the
French tunnel company that on each side of
the channel further heading of mile hould
be driven. When these headings are finished,
which certainly ought be IN six months, one
tenth of the question would have been dealt
with and further treaty would then probably
be proposed under which the party would ac-
complish the remaining miles on its side. In
view of meeting in the middle of the channel,
a sevenfoot gallery ought on this system TO
be completed in five years.

The House went into committee on the land

it clear that the landlords entitled to the same
access to the court as the tenant, and limiting
the second subsection to future tenancies.

Minneapolis Tribune, June 17th.]
AN EARNEST WORD.
Have the men of Minneapolis whose
energy, spirit and enterprise have made
the city what it is, been overtaken by a
lcthargy like unto death? 1t would GER
tainly so seem. There is no longer any
organized effort in any direction toward
counteracting the influences that are
steadily and actively at work to once
more put the town in the second place
influence, 1t is not long since our
heaviest dry goods house was suffered to
fail and be blotted out. Shortly after,
wholesale clothing house transferred
its business hence, and now it is positive
ly asserted, and not contradicted by the
parties interested, that one of our heav-
lest grocery houses, upon which the city
has been accustomed to look with pride
and pleasure, is about to be removed to
ST. Paul. Yesterday information was
received of pretty reliable character,
that the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad shops will be located at Austin,
and if the continued efforts of the Pioneer
Press, Pat Kelly and others can effect it,
the head quarters of the telegraph
company will be transferred to that point,
upon the accession of the new superinten-
dent, which occurs on the first of July. On
the other hand, St. Paul is getting
the benefit of building boom, con-
sistlng of many fine blocks for
as many business houses, and she is real
izing the promise made her IN respect tc
her depot and transfer grounds, while
Minneapolis is waiting listiessly, but wait
ing in vain, for like improvements which
have been faithfully promised, but which
there is no apparent steps being taken tc
provide. Meanwhile st. Paul is profitine
by the prestige accruing from her gains
and our losses Is this condition of things
destined to continue? Have the business
men of Minneapolis lost their traditional
grip' Do they purpose to lay down anG
be run over by the march of events il
which they seem to take no interest and
have no share? There is more meaning
in these questions than appears on the
surface. Unless there is something done
in Minneapolis soon, so much will be done
elsewhere that any efforts to counterac
the tendency will be vain There is NJ
sensationallsm in these remarks or thi,
conclusion. Let that be borne emphatic
