AMOUNT NOW EMBRACED IN THE PUBLIC
DoMAIN-RAILRoAD LAND GRANTS.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE Commits
sioner of the Land Office, in his annu al re port.
states that the lands now embraced within
the limits Of the public domain amount to
90U,O00,OO0 acres, including Alaska. He
recommends that the presumption laws be
abolished, as the homestead laws cover all
cases now arising. Public sales of lands for
the past year amounted TO 1888 acres, en-
bracing 5016 acres near Toledo, o, which
were sold for Sic, 735, an average OF IS SO per
acre. Respecting the forfeiture of railroad
granite, the com missioner says: 'The status
Of the various grants for railroad purposes
where the roads have not been constructed
within the tims prescribed BY law was re-
ported to Congress March 2S, 1882. The alb
sence OF legislative action touching the re-
moval of these grants, or declaring the for
feiture thereof, seriously embarr assed the
work OF this office. 1t is not deemed
expedient to certify additional lands
TO the railroad companies, nor TO
award TO the companies the lands in
dispute between them and settlers, or other
claimants, pending the determination of
Congress in the premises. Large numbers
Of settlers are occupying such lands, and it
is important to them TO know whether they
can receive their titles from the United
States, or whether they will be required to
purchase from the railroad companies. Com
missioner Mcfarland submits estimate for
salaries and contingent expenses for the next
fiscal year, amounting in the aggregate to
$685. $40, which Is an increase of the amount
appropriated for the current fiscal year of
500, $40. The increase is distributed gener-
ally among bureau officers, and includes
$1,000 Tor the assistant commissioner"

THE GREELEY PARTY.
WHY LIEUT.. BEEBE WAS UNABLE TO REACH

THEM
WASHINGTON, October 12-Lieut. Reebe,
who accompanied the Arctic relief expedi-
ton which failed TO reach the Lady Frank
lin Station, is confined to his room through
illness caused chiefly, his physicians say,
by disappointment at The ill-success of the
expedition. There are many points relative
to the attempt TO reach the Greeley party
not elucidated in the written report lied at
the Signal Office, and upon which informa-
ton has not yet been obtained, owing to
Lieut.. Beebe's illness, which forbids CONVEX
sation on the subjsct. II seems that most
OF The mail-bsgs were brought, and were not,
as at fret supposed, cached with the sup
plies al Cape Sabine and Lyttleton Island.
The bags contained large number
of letters for the the members of the party
from their families and friends, and files of
various newspapers for the year previous TO
the starting OF the relief ship. The reason
assigned for not leaving the mail is the ex-
IRENE improbability Of their being found
and taken away by an expedition of MEM
bers OF the party to the southwark this
winter. 1t is not believed that CIR eeley has
any dogs by this time, because they had be-
gun to die before the ship on which they
went up two years ago left to return. 1t
was understood that should relief not reach
The party by September, 1888, they would
start south to meet the expedition and find
the depots. 1t is not expected, therefore,
that Greedy will attempt 10 find the depots
left this season, inasmuch as the party is
amply supplied With provisions to last until
next year closes. There is a large
bank of coal in their vicinity, SO
they will have an ample supply OF
fuel at their command. At the Signal Office,
therefore, no unessiness is felt on ac-
count of the failure to reach the party.
The spot where the stores were left is only
about $50 miles 10 the south of the station,
and next year another attempt will be made,
and other depots of supplies will be made, so
that Greeley will have line of retreat open
TO him, with depots of stores within easy
marches, provided the relief ship should fail
to penetrate the ice to Lady Franklin Bay.
Nothing has been heard yet from the party
sent to relieve the station at Point Barrow,
but the vessel is expected to reach San Fran
cisco in a few days, ss the Point Barrow re-
lief started much earlier than the other, and
the station is not so far north by several hun
bred miles.

WASHINGTON, October 12.-The following
anecdotes Of the President IS schoolmaster
are now going the rounds of the press.
In a party was a lady who, having COM
mented on the advantages which such
country as this gives to young man,
said: II went to school to President Arthur
when / was a little girl and he a rather
disconsolate seeming young mas. 1t was in
Cohoes, N. Y, and he came to teach our
school under rather embarrassing circum-
stances. That is. it proved embarrassing
but whether TO him or the boys, pIl leave
you to judge" She paused. and one of the
gentlemen said quickly: 81, too, went to
school to President Arthur at Cohoes. / am
q good deal older tn an you are, think. You
cannot remember me. But go on" The
lady, who is one of the most genial, hospi
table, and delightful women in Providence,
hesitated. $50 on!n he CRIED well, said
she, eve had in our school three boys who
were a terror. They were the toughest, most
saucy, mischievous fellows that ever tried 10
bully schoolma ster. Nobody had been able
to rule them. They had positively become
a set of ogres, which We little children
dreaded with an unutterable but trembling
dread. Probably Mr.. Arthur had been in
formed as to their character, for when school
had begun and one of them commenced his
pranks, he was prepared for him. He simply
said: Come 10 me- There was something
in his eye and voice which the big fellow
dared not disobey. He slowly approached,
and our teacher marched him out OF the
door. Pretty soon the master came back
alone. By this time The next boy had gath
cred new 'spunk,' and sure enough be was
treated 10 the same manner. This strange
submission, which also happened with the
third boy, made the smaller children awe
struck. What was this quiet, simple power
which made itself 80 instantly obeyed? And

These figures will not show exactly the
amount OF reading matter in each paper, or
the number of ems" set, for some use smaller

Serious Strike.

PORTLAND. Or, October II. - The
strike on the Northern Pacific railway
sumed serious shape yesterday. After the
rate of board was fixed at the. old price
the men demanded 81 SO per day instead of
So az heretofore. This was refused by
Hallet, superintendent of construction. All
the Cinnamon were then driven from the
works. Hallet, it is understood, tel
egraphed to Missoula for troops.
Whether the comm anding officer will
furnished them or not, cannot be learned.
II is morning the ringleaders OF the mob
threatened to hang Hallett. Engineer Threl-
sen, with the paymaster, started to the front
this morning with a large sum and an escort
of twenty-five soldiers. While the men on
construction, rs rule, are well disposed,
there are probably 200 ex-convicts and many
fugitives from justice in the crowd, to say
nothing of band of desperate camp-follow-
ers. There is good ground for fearing acts
of violence.

of $1,000, exclusive of any charge for his
personal services. He submitted his claim
to the department, and was given TO under
stand that the appropriation for census work
was exhausted, and the government officers
demanded the surrender of all statistics and
papers which hsd been compiled under
Wattles's superintendence. He refused to
comply with this demand, and this afternoon,
under writ OF replevin, the United States

in Wattles's possession. Security was entered

This immense Democratic msjority of
$4,000 is gain of As. 800 votes, nearly equal
to one-twelfth of the vote of the State.
That this sweeping result will have the
effect of quickening the energies OF both
parties in New York, Pennsylvania and In
diana, there can be no doubt. The admins
tration W i'll let loose all its latent power,
bat it has tied Dorsey's hands, and the ex-
ample of his downfall is net calculated to
encourage any other of the INSCRIPTIONS
gang to try their hands at the corrupt game
by which Indiana, in 1880, Was won for Gar
field. This has not been a good year for
corrupiionisis and ringsters. In New York
they have been gibbeted even by Re-
publican paper, and everywhere they are
held up to merited scorn. Folger will not
be elected governor of New York, nor Beaver
of Pennsyl vania. The former represents the
most corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS politician
that has ever occupied the White House,
and the latter the most corrupt ring that has
ever ssddIed itself upon 3 State of the
American Union. II the result of tie cleo
ton in Ohis means anything, it means that
the people are waking mp to a sense Of the
rOttenness Of the Republican party. 1t

less of the great interests commit
"a Ill
cratic majority in Ohio is the handwriting on
the wall, and if the Democratic leaders will
people whose fortunes are at stake, we may
see Democrat in the White House on The

the States that have held elections this year
