THE APPLICATION FOR ExTRADITioN
Diseased by the London Times and
Pail Mall Gazette.

LONDON, MBrch 1.-The Times, in an ar
tiele touching the applications OF England
TO the United States and French govern.
ments for the extradition Of Sheridan and
Byrne, says: "No candid American or
Frenchman would contend that the case Of
the Phenix Park murderers vas covered
by the privilege accorded political offend
ers, and asserted in Great Britain in the
case OF Orsini, who attempted the life OF
Emperor Napoleon in 49," But" the
Times says, "if only completely in the
organization OF a secret society is alleged
against Byrne and Sheridan, their eXtradi-
ton will possibly be refused"
The Pail Mall Gazette says: When
Russsa wished Europe to refuse asylum TO
Nihilists the Austrian Frendenblatt de-
clared that such demand would give
Europe the right to ask Russia TO terminate
the regime which produced Nihilism. 1t
would be unpleasant IL the United States
Government addressed similar sug.
eestion to Lord Granville, Foreign Secre.
tarv. IL the demand for the extradition
of Sheridan is based solely upon the
fact of his belonging to the Irish Invinci
b,es il stands exactly on the same footing
as if Russia had asked for the surrender OF
Prince Krapotkine. Not even success in
securing the surrender OF Sheridan would
atone for the abandonment OF the position
with rs gard ID the extradition which We
have hitherto maintained in the face Of
Europe. 1t would be even worse IL the
position were abandoned only TO obtain
humiliating rebuff

WASHINGTON, March LIN considering
the Harbor bill, the House limited the ex-
penditure Of appropriation for the Ohio
river to $4,000, which is the estimate.
In the Senate Messrs. BAyard and Beck
assigned their reasons for refusing to
to serve on the Tariff Conference
Committee. A number Of other Demo
cratic Senators were named, among whom
was Mr.. Davis, of West Virginia, but all
declined to act. President Davis then ap-
pointed Messrs. McDill and Malone, neith-
er Of whom was present. Both accepted,
however, and the committe proceeded to
work.
Republican prospects are rather gloomy
at present. The period of the session has
been reached when they cannot help con-
trasting their condition and prospects at
the beginning Of the present Congress with
its close. They had the power, and were in
position to secure the thanks and con-
tinued support of the country through
good legislation. But they are ending with
every promise forfeited, with self-respect
lost, and in the certain prospect that this
is the last Republican Congress for years to
come.
The remark of Senator David Davis that
the life of the Republican party has been
prolonged, and still may be, by the mis-
takes of the Democrats, is referred to as a
piece Of political gospel which affords about
the only consolation they have. 1t is a
fact, which any one win discover in the
shortest time, that the Republicans in
Congress have not an expectation based on
a single desert of their own. Whatever
of expectation they have rests solely on
the contingency that the Democratic party
may commit blunders of which advantage
may be taken. This is the first aud al
most ths only thing one hears when Re-
publicans are brought to say anything
concerning the future.
Very many of the retiring Republicans
frankly declare that henceforth they will
be "out OF politics" while others as frank
ly express their willingness to assist to
revolutionize the Administration and to
bring new men into power.

CoIored People in Indian Territory.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Mr. Milton Turn
er, the coiored man who was once Minister
to Liberia and now lives in Missouri, to-
day had favorable hearing before the Sec
retary of the Interior regarding the pro-
posed legislation for the Colored people OF
the Indian Territory. He is with delega-
ton Of these people who were formerly
owned as slaves by the Indians. The. pur-
pose of Mr.. Turner and the delegation IS to
secure legislation by which to enforce the
treaty made by the Government with the
ChOCtaws and ChickaSawS in 1866. Secres
tary Teller was surprised to hear that
there are 10000 negroes in the In
dian Territory who have never cast
a vote, bat are denied free access to the
schools and courts, being incompetent as
witnesses and jurors. The delegation,
through Mr.. Turner, asks that, agreeable
TO the terms of the above mentioned
treaty, these colored people be removed
and settled on the Oklahoma lands, which
Payne and bis followers have been trying
10 secure by invasion and occupation. Sec
retary Teller has caused the Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs 70 frame bill providing
for the relief as requested, and this has
been sent 10 Congress with recommenda-
tiOns that il be Incorporated IN the Den
cheney bill. The recommendation provides
100 acres Of land for every head OF tami-
". eighty acres for every unmarried per
son over twenty. one years, and sufficient
sum for their removal and settlement OF
the lands.

House of one of those political men who
know things pertaining to politics by in
tuition.
"Ob, he is looking after his new party.
He is going to work the anti monopoly

solid with our fellow citizens Of Irish blood,

Governor Butler is the man for the Presi'

for his making any comment or recon-

President of the Agricultural College TO the

q view of the situation, and II he finds that

PITTSBURGH, March l.-There seems to be

ore brokers' are rather alarmed at the back

This meeting was postponed this year until
February 81, but for some reason the rate
was not fixed on that date. On account of
the depressed condition of the iron trade
the Lake Superior mines are nearly all in
active or are running spasmodically. How
ever, as the contracts already in existence
do not cease until the first Of June, there is
ample room for the arrangement OF the
schedule ST prices. 1t is more than likely
that on account of the abundant supply OF
ore that prices will rule much lower this
year than last. The price obtained for pig
iron is the basis Of settlement for ore, and
as pig is much lower now than for some
time, prices for ore will certainly rule low

NlHlLIST AND COWARD
Is What Secretary Layton. Of the II.
OrL Calls n New York AgitRtOr.


PIT1sBURGH, March LIN relation to the
differences existing in the Central Labor
Union, knights Of Labor, New York city,
a correspondent from that point quotes the
remarks Of Mr.. Cuno, OF the Volks Zsi-
tung, who attacks George Blair, one of the
delegates Of the union, Mayor Powderly, of
Scanton, Master Workman, and Secretary
Layton, of the Knights OF Labor. 1t was
charged against Blair that he was making
the union subservient to his own ends
which an investigating committed failed to
substantiate. Cuno asserted that the gen.
tlemen named, although formerly radical
in their views, are now really in the hands
Of capitalists.
A call was made on Secretary Layton yes
terday afternoon and his opinion asked on
the publication. Mr.. Layton said the man
Cuno was we'll known in labor circles. Con-
tinuing he expressed himself as follows:
In my opinion Theodore +. Cuno is black
mailer. Last year the Knights of Labor in.
yestgated charges he had promulgated
against q business firm OF New York, in
which not one single count could be sub
stantated. Cuno has always been opposed
to American institutions, and fails to COM
and agitation. He is the leader OF the
Jesse lanes Gang
of the Labor Reform party Of. New York
city, and sets up Herr Most as go1. He
has been. so he says, expelled from Italy,
Germany and France for his socialistic
ideas; been imprisoned twenty eight times,
and, 10 believe him, has shot at policemen,
&c An extended acquaintance with the
fellow proves that he is an arrant coward.
We have developed him to be rank Mill
ist. He belonged formerly to Knights OF
Labor Lodge 1852, Brooklyn, but was ex-
PEELED for fragrant violations of the laws of
the order. l would just state that Cuno
possesses the ambition of Caesar and the
brains Of an alligator, the heart
OF Nero with the head
OF an idiot All have to say regarding his
charges Of my being in the hands of the
capitalists, a term he uses when he runs
out Of other phrases, is that life is too short
TO take notice of what he says. Of Mayor
Powderly, Of Scranton, there never existed
a purer or winter man engaged IN any
cause. No one stands higher in the minds
of American working people. AS for Geo:
Blair, he is the embodiment OF the idea Of
American organization and agitation He is
an extensive employer, a large box
manufacturer in New York, and stands
high among the workingmen Of New
York. He always was and still is a
nottingham. 1t was he who organ,
lied the anti.monopoly movement in New
York last year, which allowed four mem.
bers OF the Knights of Labor to go to the
New York Legislature. He is a patient
| hard worker. who permitted himself to be
| blackmailed TO the tune OF $40 per week for
ten weeks by this fellow Cuno, Mr.. Blair
believing he was the innocent cause OF
Cuno losing his situation, Laboring under
| this impression be gave the fellow the sum
| stated and only after ten weeks found out
he was being bisckmailed. / could tell a

Report from Helena.
ANXIETY IN THE lEVEE DISTRICTS.

HELENA, ARK, March 1.-The Mississip'
pi is now nearly forty-four feet above low
water mark, and within three feet OF high
water mark. From all points comes the
news of the devastating effects Of the fiosd,
as it is spreading fast and furiously all over
the low positions of this whole country.
The water in the White and Cache rivers
is sufficiently high to cause the drowning
of cattle, and great deal Of distress is oc-
casioned. This is as yet confined to the
lowest parts, but the water continues to
rise, coming from as far off as the sunk
lands and then into the st. Francis, and
spreading itself for miles and miles
around. In this portion people
have taken refuge in second stories
and their animals are moved into houses. 1t
is asserted, and believed, that we have new
er seen flood which will equal in violence
and devastation this one so near upon US.
One hears this predicted from many sides,
and yet the people are not preparing against
it as they should. There are those who will
not realize that their
Homes Are TO be Destroyed
in the same ruthless manner. There are
no good leyees near these rivers. The cattle
are already being moved to DevalIs Bluff
from Friar's Point, Miss, below this place.
The water is creeping up from the back wa
ter, and it is believed the town will soon be
under, and many fine plantations situated
around this locality will be oyertowed, and
much loss in consequence. a large num-
Der of colored people have left the place
yOwing they will never return where they
are in so much danger OF floods.
In Coahoma and Tunica counties Mlssls-
sippi, on the opposite side OF the river, the
overflow comes principally from backwater
and breaks of the rivers from above, with
other streams included. This with the
certain rise of a few feet more, makes
A Most Terrible Outlook.
The Coldwater and Tallahatchie rivers are
rushing with great force in that direction.
An old hunter and trapper, who has been
coming South for many years, and makes
those counties his principal hunting
ground, passed through this place to day,
and he gives US his opinion that this flood
will far surpass the one OF last year, ana
tha: it is not far distant when only the
highest points will be out OF the water.
Strange to say the people OF that dis
trict are quietly waiting and watching
without taking any very great precautions.
a large number OF cattle were drowned
last year, and one gentleman alone. in that
vicinity, lost five hundred head. There is
yet quite quantity of cotton still in the
fields, and now no means OF gathering it.
Some OF the best negroes have left, saying
they will not remain another year, and
have sought refuge in the hills OF Helena.
The levee in front OF the Public Square
is being worked upon and repaired in the
weak places. There is much 10 be done, as
notbiDg of importance has been done since
last year.

man; younger, believe than my son, and
if that is so, the statement he figured in
