Indian Troubles.

The secretary of the interior has received
the following from Indian Agent Wilcox
SAN CARLOS AGENCY. June l6.
Gen. Crook telegraphs from Wilcox that
between four and five hundred Indian pris-
oners, requiring to be fed, should be here in
four or five days. The presence of the rem
egade bucks at the reservation will dissatsfy
the friendly Indians and excite fear and dis
trust among the white settlers in Arizona
and New Mexico. and in my opinion will re-
suit in adding to their past bloody history
a new list of murders, rapes, child stealing
and robbing. / earnestly protest against so
dangerous an experiment.
In answer to this dispatch, Secretary
Teller reiterated his instructions to the agent
10 refuse to receive the Indians mentioned in
the despatch, and stated that he need not
fear any attempt by the military authorities
to place the Indians upon the reservation
against his will.

The Court of Claims having reaffirmed
its original opinion concerning the pay of
cadet engineers, after hearing the addi-
tional arguments submitted by the Navy
department, Mr.. Chandler will appeal
10 the Supreme Court. although he has
already given notice that he has high au-
.hority for the position that an executive
officer of the government is not required
to accept the opinion of that tribunal as a
guide for his action. The test case before
the Court of Claims was brought by Cadet
Engineer Leopold. in behalf of 40 young
men of his grade. for the purpose of
getting an authoritative Interpretation of
the law. In his reply to the petition OF
the Cadet Engineers, Mr.. Chandler re-
marked. with reference to Leopold's
appeal to the court. that 'such a practice
ought not to be encouraged" 1t does
not seem to have been encouraged in
Leopold's case, for what has become OF
Leopold? The department has sent him
to the arctic regions on the steamer
Yantic.

A DISHONEST CASHIER.


BOSTON, June Is.
Arthur Blanev, cashier and head book
keeper of the Massachusetts, Loan and Trust
Co., is under arrest for embezzleing $44 200
of the companys funds. He has confessed
the crime and states that the cause was min
ing and other stock speculations. Blaney is
but thirty yeare old and is married. He has
been in the employ of the concern some ten
years. The stealings extend from Nov. 1880
to Nov 1882. Inspectors were put on the
case some weeks ago, who arrested him Sun
day on his return from New York, whe re he
had been spending some days. They charged
him with stealing $4,000, but Blaney cor
rected them stating that $44, 900 was the
amount and went through the books with
the detectives, pointing out all the discre-
pancies and falsifications. He was arraigned
today and held for $4,000 The loss of the
funds will not injure the financial standing
of the company.
Blaney is treasurer of the Dorchester
Yacht Club, but the police have no knowl
edge of any defalcation of the clubs funds,
and nothing can be learned tonight of the
condition of its finances.
The first intimation that anything was
wrong was Monday afternoon of last week,
when it was found that he was 500 short.
His attention was called to the discrepancy.
He said he had taken it for temporary use
and would restore it the next morning. On
Tuesday he did so. and on being questioned
about other possible discrepancies, assured
the president of the company that his deficit
did not exceed the 500. 1t was deemed
best to suspend Blaney pending the investi-
gatioe of affairs, and upon his being notified,
left for New York. Experts were at once
placed upon the books with the above result.
Blaney began on a salary Of 5000 year.
which had been gradually increased to $1,000.
His mode of covering up discrepancies was,
when, for instance, customer drew $500, to
charge him on the books with having re-
ceived $1,000 or more, and pocket the balance.

The Mining and Industrial Journal says !:
" The great greed of landowners has nip
ped in the bud many an important manu-
featuring enterprise. and blighted the
prospects of many a country village in
Maine" This remark gains much of its
force from its application to the action of
certain residents of Oldtown, who, now
that the Bodwell Water Power Company
requires more land, on which to erect a
$500. 900 cotton mill, have almost doubled
the price which was asked for it year
ago. demanding $4,000 more than the
land is worth. Unfortunately, the town
cannot force these owners to dispose Of
the land at fair figure, but, in every such
case as this, the assessors should make a
point OF convincing them that the tax
doubles as often as the price of the land
does.
