A DANGEROUS Vessel.

BOSTON, Nov. 27.-The Advertiser says {:
The United States steamer, Shenandoah,
lying in stream off the navy yard awaiting
orders to sail, is not likely to secure full
complement Of officers, for almost every
officer who is ordered to her at once endeav-
ors to be relieved. Seamen do not like the
prospect of going round the Horn in this
vessel, and their feelings are greatly intensi-
fed by the actions of the officers. The sail
ors claim that the vessel is top-heavy and
that they are crowded together like sheep.
Yesterday the executive officer of the ship,
Lieut.. Commodore E. B. Thomas and Lieut..
Lucien Flynn,were surveyed by the medical
officers, and on his report will probably be
relieved. They have only been aboard about
week, and their probable removal only
makes matters worse in the minds of the
sailors.

A Free Trader on Mlnina.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.--Commerciai. Bull
letin: Perhaps no branch Of domestic in
dustry suffers so much from the imitation of
prices due to higher tariff as mining the met
ais, yet no branch has such magnificent in
herent possibilities Of expansion. The re-
striction of mining has been in consequence
of the policy which has aimed to limit the
miners market In the United States. Our
whole export of commercial ores and miner
ais for the year amounts to the petty sum OF
$l55, 900. What 1t might be may be inferred
from what Great Britain alone imported In
1882: Of ores raw and partly reduced amount
ing to over $50, 900 900. Discoveries Of vast
deposits of copper in the Western States and
Territories show that we could easily meet
the worlds demand for that metal. Yet we
can only export 100000 worth, while even
Australia is sending England $780, 900 worth
of the metal, with 1000 miles more of
transportation than from the United States,
and the Cape sends S2,0O0,0OO, and even
British North America S500,000.

New YORK, Nov. 2S.-The World says ::

tective, accosted him, saying: "What do you
want, prowling about this hotel?" Il have
a duty to PERFORM" was the reply; and De-

A MICHIGAN TRAGEDY.
A Whole Family Murdered for Money.

JACKSON, Mich, Nov. 22.-This morning
Joseph d. Crouch, aged "a, widower, Henry
White, aged 80, son-in-law of Couch, Eunlce
White, aged 80, daughter of Crouch, all of
Summit township, Jackson county, and
Moses Policy, aged 20, of Transfer, Mercer
county, Penn, were found murdered in their
beds, all having been shot through the head,
behind the ear. It Is supposed they were
chloroformed first, as no signs of struggle
appeared, each victim lying as II asleep, and
the odor of chloroform being noticeable
when the bodies were discovered. Mr..
White was also shot through the left arm.
No clue has yet been discovered, although
tracks around the house indicate that q
guard was placed while the murder was be-
ing perpetrated. Crouch was a wealthy
farmer living seven miles southwest of Jack
son, and the owner of an extensive sheep
ranch In Texas. 1t Is rumored that he had
just received $4,000 from Texas, in payment
OF sales made on tine ranch. Bankers here
state that no money was deposited by Crouch,
ana they presumed the money was in Crouch's
hands. Policy was stopping at Crouch's,
having just come from Texas with large
amount of money for the purpose of buying
blooded stock. The theory is that he (Pol-
ley) was followed from Texas by the MUIR
derer or murdcrers for the purpose Of rob-
berry. The house was thoroughly ransacked,
and everything of value carried away. A
young girl, adopted daughter of the Whites,
and negro aged Is, we're sleeping up stairs.
They say they heard no firing, although the
negro says he heard a humping noise about
the middle Of the night, and thought it was
caused by a fierce wind which was blowing.
Mrs. White was expected to become a mother
in a week. The officers are very quiet upon
the subject, but are working every clue. The
sheriff believes that the shots were fired by
one person and one revolver, as a number of
empty cartridges were found on the floor, all
showing the same calibre. There are con-
fictiug rumors regarding the use of chloro-
form. Physicians claim none was used, but
the theory of one person doing the butchery
and the testimony of the first neighbors at
the scene, who claim the chloroform was
sutocating, is strongly against them. The
young negro Boles is arrested and jailed to
await the result of the coroner's inquest,
which will be held tomorrow. Crouch was
worth about 100000 of property in jack
son county, and had sheep ranches in Texas,
near Fort Worth. He leaves two sons and
one daughter. A pocketbook containing
sos and a certificate of deposit for $500
were found on the window sill of Whites
room. An empty cartridge box of 2.cali-
bres was found in the negro Boles's room.

special says: The contest in Washington
for the Speakership grows warm. Randall

considerable talk about Mr. Morrison as

Indignant wyonninu.

CHEYENNE, Nov. 26.-The recent tissue
of misrepresentation concerning woman's
suffrage in Wyoming, published in the New
York Times, reproduced In the Leader, with
suitable editorial comments, has excited the
most profound indignation In our city. The
writer Is denounced by the press and citizens.
Woman suffrage is regarded as good thing
here. It would be death to any political
aspirant to oppose 1t. Probably steps will
be taken to disabuse the minds Of the public
against the wrong impression made. All
the leading and intelligent citizens favor the
suffrage. Many do not favor women holding
Office, but everybody nearly is a unit as re !.
CARDS their voting.

FURAY's REMOVAL.

The item going the rounds that John B.
Fursy, Postofiice Inspector, with hesdquar-
ters at Omaha, had been removed Is too bare
an assertion. Mr.. Furay invoked his re-
moval. He had just been re.appointed In
spector by the Postmaster General and no
tilted that after November LIST his pay would
be certain Notwithstanding Of reduc-
tion from previous allowances. 1t appears
Furay was willing TO stand this, but when
he sent in his report to draw his pay for Oc-
tober, the Department only allowed him the
compensation for October that be had been
notified would begin November 1st. This
was circular letter effecting oil Inspectors.
Furay refused to accept the reduction for
October; wrote the Department that he
thought wrong was being perpetrated on
his fellow superintendents by the retro. active
order, and said as he felt somewhat more in
dependent Of his salary than many others of
the mail service and was able to take the
consequences he proposed to fight 1t on
principle. The Postmaster General there.
upon bounced him. The correspondence,
which is quite lengthy, is published in the
Omaha Herald, Nov. Esd. While there may
be something back Of all this leading to the
removal, II would not appear 90, rs Furay
had just been reappointed, and II his version
Of the affair Is correct, s 1t appears TO be
from the published correspondence, Mr..
Furay was right and the Postofiice Depart
ment wrong. Even the U. s. Postofiee De-
partnsnt has not the authority or right TO
make aretroactlve order reducing an officers
pay after he has earned 1t under orders al
lowing more. Mr.. Furay Is said to be In
good circumstances, owning some Omaha
property that has become quite valuable, and
is not dependent on the Office for his daily
bread. He made several inspection tours in
Montana and was accounted one Of the best
inspectors In the service.

IT WILL be remembered with what bitter
vehemence Guiteau cursed everybody con-
nected with his prosecution for the asssssina-
tion of Garfield. II would seem that his
curses come home TO roost. The domestic
lives Of those identified with him have been
conspicuously unhappy since the trial, the
latest development being an action brought
by the wife Of Guiteau's attorney, Reid, TO
obtain Q divorce from him on the
ground OF non support. That was what was
the matter with Guiteau In his last moments.

IT SEEMS 10 be the firm heIief of some that
II the Northern Pacific extends It's line to
Butte Il will be constructed from Wickes
and through the Park. II is foolish scheme.
Il Is to the interests Of this district to have
the Butte branch built from Garrison and
through the Deer Lodge Valley. The North
ern Pacific has made enough mistakes In this
Territory and should not make any more
Inter Mountain.
That is good common sense. The North.
ern Pacific has enough Of climbing the Rocky
Mountains. So far as the Deer Lodge valley
IL concerned we believe our people would
rather prefer 10 not have another road unless
there can be joint, or side and-side, track,
- the pooling system shuts of any competi-
tion that would be beneficial and another
line would cut up farms very seriously. But
- railroad proposition, or as effects Butte
and the facilities hoped for from another
road, the company had better build and oper-
ate two miles In the valley than one in the
mountains.

SALT LAKE, Nov. 23.-The Tribune's Chi

ent telegraphs that Congressman Payson, of
Illinois, at the coming session of Congress
will early introduce bill TO forfeit the Tex
as Pacific lard grant. The telegram goes on
to declare further that he will also ask Con-
gress to forfeit the grant now claimed by the
Northern Pacific in Oregon. The Ship ISL
and Railway, In Mississippi, has several
million acres of valuable pine lands held by
the forfeited grant. Proceedings against this
road will also be pushed by Payson. Along
the line Of the Southern Pacific there are a
number Of settlers who have gone on to tie
lands granted TO the Texas Pacific, taking
their chances of ever being turned out. The
vacation Of the lane by Congress would help
the settlement and development of the coun.
try. There will probably be good deal of
investigation of the alleged railway corrup-
tions. 1t Is said that the Northern Pacific
spent $20O, 900 or 100000 here last winter
for the purpose of influencing . favorable re-
port upon extending their land grant. The
