Reports Of the Postmaster General and
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs-Some-
thing About Fast nIails-Plain Truth
About Our Indian Policy.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Postmaster Gen.
eral James will state in his forthcoming an
nual report that many petitions have been
received from the Pacific and Eastern states
for more speedy and frequent service between
New York and San Francisco; that the service
should be improved in accordance with the
Importance of business transactions between
the two sections, and that the time has
recently been reduced one day by the action
of the Pennsylvania railroad in establishing
limited express. Negotiations are pending
which have in view still further reduction OF
time. At present only New York City and
Pennsylvania profit by the reduction OF one
day between New York and San Francisco.
The matter will be brought to the attention OF
Vanderbilt and it is thought he will place
Eastern and Northern states whose mail ia
cilities are controlled by his lines, on an equal
footing with Pennsylvania and New York
City.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The annual report
of the commissioner of Indian affairs to the
secretary of the interior, is made public.
Commissioner Price, at the outset, desires to
''urge, with earnestness, the absolute necessity
for thorough and radical change in the Indi-
an policy, in some respects" and declares sit
must be apparent, to the most casual observer,
that the system of gathering Indians
in bands or tribes, on reservations,
and carrying them victuals and clothes, thus
relieving them of the necessity of labor, never
will and never can civilize them. If white men
were treated as we treat Indians, the result
bonds. wish to call attention to the fact
that in almost every case it is only non-labor-
ing tribes that 60 upon the war path, and
the stubborn facts of history compel me to
say the government is largely to blame for this.
We feed the White river murdeIers and coun-
sci the peaceable Ninaths to largely care for
themselves. This course induces the Indians
to believe that il they are to get favors from
the government they must refuse to work, re-
fuse to be orderly and peaceable and must
commit some depredations and muir
ders and then a commission will be appointed
to treat with them and pay them in goods,
provisions and money to behave themselves.
The commissioner recommends the prohi-
bition of the introduction of liquor on Indian
reservations, by authority of the wal depart
ment. incidentally, he suggests, as a more
effectual remedy for the evil of drunkenness,
that congress be asked to prohibit the manu-
facture or sale Of ardent spirits in any of the
territories of the United States, and among
other things, that it be enacted to extend to
Indian reservations, the criminal laws of the
states and territories in which they are re-
spective]y situated.

A MYSTERIOUS HORROR.
Shocking Murder of Young Lady in a
Chicago Suburb.

Shocking Murder of Young Lady in a
Chicago Suburb.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Ten o'clock last even
ing the headless trunk of Miss Ellen Kessners
was found at place known as the Wabash
Railroad and seventy-frst street. Englewood.
Marks on her person plainly indicated foul
play. She was 20 years of age, prepossessing,
educated in the East, and attending Normal
school at Englewood. She was regarded as a
young lady of brilliant prospects. Upon hear
ing of her fate the whole town became greatly
excited, and bands of residents went out in
every direction to get clue of the murderer.
Miss Kessners has been acting strangely
of late, and common remark was. "some-
thing is preying on Ellen's mind" Last
night she retired as usual, but subsequently
rose, dressed herself, and going to the room
of the superintendent's wife, complained of
feeling i'll. She was seut back by that lady,
but instead of going to her room went out on
the street, and at 10 o'clock the body was
found secreted in the weeds by two students,
W. 8. Patrick and W. s. Warner. Both arms
and legs were broken and there were several
cuts on the body made with knife. The head
lay some distance from the body. Parts of the
hands and feet were scattered about in the
grass, indicating that the murderer had de-
posted his burden hurriedly and fed. Over
the left nipple was knife wound, but not suf-
fcient to cause death. The thighs and abdo-
men were badly discoloreG, conveying the i'm
preston of an outrage. Two men in the
garb of tramps were seen at o'clock
walking excitedly along Wentworth avenue,
but, though pursued by the excited citizens,
they escaped. This afternoon the citizens
threaten to deal summarily with the murderer
or murderess if found. The police of the
fnr IF Tol- iply fha l,v

MILLING INTERESTS.
Important Suits Compromised by til
National Millers' Association.

National Millers' Association.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16.--A compromise has
been effected between the National Millers'
association and the George F. Smith Middlings
Purifier company, by which the law suits
brought by the latter against the most prom
inent millers of the country for alleged in
fringement of what is known as the Cochrane
patents have been settled. One of the test
suits was won by the millers before the United
States circuit court here, and is now docketed
in the supreme court of the United States,
where it would have been reached for trial
next spring, but for the present compromise.
Efforts have long been pending to settle these
law suits, and yesterday eliminated success
fully. The sub-executive committee of the
National Millers' association met
Mr.. G. R. Knickerbacker, of jackson, Mich.
representing the Middlings Purifier company,
and after lengthy discussion a compromise
was effected by the National Millers' associa-
ton paying the company 100000. The suits
which the Purifier company brought against
the millers in the country aggregated $780,
100000. This compromise puts an end to the
trouble so far as members of the National
Millers' association are concerned, but those
outside the association will have to fight the
matter in the courts. In addition to the COM
promise with the Consolidated Middlings'
Purifier company the sub-executive commit
tee discussed the trouble growing out of
the Danchfield patent. The owners of
the patent will be invited to meet
the committee for conference. The owners
have some large suits ou hand against millers,
and have already received some judgments.
The subeXecutive committee also appointed
the following delegates to the tariff conven-
tion, to be held in Cooper institute, New
York, November 80 and 80: George Balm, st.
Louis; E. o. Sanderson, Milwaukee; J. A.
Kinds, Syracuse, N. Y; Robert Tyson, Balti-
more; P. II. Small, York, Pa; W. H. Deni-
woody and Fred. Schnellwacher, Akron, Ohio;

this evil may be crushed.
A resolution announcing the sympathy of
workingmen for the oppressed people of Ire
land and enunciating the idea that land was
property which should be owned only by ac-

should be permitted to hold more property
than he could till, was presented and provoked
considerable discussion.
The resolution was referred to a special
committee.

of the truck system and the reduction OF the
number of working hours, and the enforce
ment of all laws relating to miners and mines.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Olirette" Last Night.

The largest audience of the season of the
Fay Templeton company filled the Opera
House last evening to witness the presentation
of Andrau's comic opera "Olivette.' Fay
made an admirable Olivette, Alice Vane a very
attractive Countess, and Seth M. Crane an ex-
celient Capt. de Merrimac. The music of the
opera is attractive, aad cornet solo by Miss
Alice Coleman was interpolated, as well as
Spanish song, Gel Polomas"-a duet most
charmingly rendered by Miss Fay and Alice
Vane. Miss Fay was called before the curtain
at the end of each act. The performance gave
perfect satisfaction to all present.

Harerly's Mast0d0ns.

Haverly's New Mastodon minstrels CON-
menced their engagement at Haverly's theater
on last evening under the most hattering au-
spices, for the house could scarcely have
afforded room for another listener. Haverly
must have smiled when he read the telegram
giving the receipts of the house, for they
we're so large as to represent in dollars nearly
every seat in it. The original plan Of
the Mastodon minstrels has been well carried
out in the formation of the present troupe.
which, to Judge from the strength and gen.
eral ability of the company, is far superior to
the old Mastodons. The theater was crammed
full of people who seemed thoroughly to en-
joy the show, as the applause was almost con-
tinuOus.

States would have a population OF 2OO, ,OO0, ,0OO'
He wished more Englishmen would go there.
They would be an additional element of sta

Especial Telegram to the Globe.]
DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 16.-The principal
hotel in Duluth, the Clark house, was burned
to the ground this afternoon. The fire origin
ated in the boiler house back OF the hotel and
spread with great rapidity. The fire alarm
was sounded about fifteen minutes after the
fire was discovered and the engine was on hand
with it's usual promptness. It was necessary
to go down to the lake to get water, quite a
distance from the scene of the conhagration,
and much precious time was took.
In the meanwhile the flames kept on spread
ing, and the rear portion of the building
was mass of flames before
the water was turned on. Two streams
were at last brought to play, but they had no
roared on rapidly, eating up first one portion
and then another, until the whole structure
was enveloped in mass of red fire.
Ii was soon seen that working could
not save the hotel, and attention
was then turned to saving the buildings near
by. Wet blankets were spread from the roof
OF Miles barber shop, and every now and
then the hose was turned on, and by diligent
efforts the houses adjoining were saved.
Most of the furniture was got out of the
hotel, but large portion of it was destroyed
by rough handling, and of course much
of it will be missing. DR.. sherwin was
dangerously if not fatally injured. A chin.
ney fell on him, striking him on the head. An
unknown man had his arm broken and several
Others were slightly injured. Fortunately
there was no wind and it was raining slightly
all day and during the fire.
Some of the boarders have found sccommo-
dations in the Dramatic temple and others
have been provided for by private families and
the other hotels in town. So FAR as is ascer-
tanned the insurance is as follows: Western,
of Toronto, $1,000; German, of Freeport,
$1,000; Tradesman, $1,000; Niagara, $1,000;
