An Army Paymaster Defaults.

San Antonio Tex.,) telegram: Quite
a sensation was created recently, by the
confession Of Maj. Wasson, paymaster,
alleged to haye been robbed of $24 900,
on train near Fort Worth, that the
whole transaction is fraud to cover his
short accounts with the government.
Wasson is now here at headquarters
under arrest, having failed to obtain a
clue of the robbers. Wasson was or
dered to turn over the balance of the
funds in his hands to Chief Paymaster
Terrell and settle accounts. An exam
ination by Col. Terrell exhibited short
ages of about S., 800. Wasson confessed
this deficit, but claimed to have made
up the amount and been robbed of $24,-
600. Further questioned, he made a
clean breast of the whole affair, that he
had put up the job to cover his evil do
ings. He was Immediately placed under
arrest at headquarters, with scanty sup
plies of necessaries and heavily guarded
by soldiers. 1t is said that his Iowa
bondsmen are good for the indebted
ness to the government, $500. He has
designated the hiding place of the re-
naming $40 800 and officers went for it..

The exclusion Of American pork from
Germany on the pretext that it abounds
in trichnia. if continued, will probably
lead to retaliatory legislation which may
be extremely injurious to German in
dustry. There is no more trichnia in
American than in German, or French,
or English pork, and the object of ex-
Guiding American pork from Germany
is simply to protect the hog producerso
that country. and If the action OF the
government were placed on that ground,
our people would have no right to COM
plain, as we reserve and exercise the
privilege of protecting home industries.
But if We should lay duty on leading
German product, or prohibit it, as Ger
many has done, on the ground that it
was not fit to be used and was dangerous
to the life of the people, then we would
be guilty of an unfriendly and unjustifi-
able act. The matter is eliciting a great
deal of discussion both in this country
and in Germany, and will be likely to
impair our hitherto cordial relations
with that country.

Union Pacific Railway.

The game of bluff which Sidney Dill
ION is playing sug yests an outcome Of the
relations between the Union Pacific and
the government, which is not altogether
improbable. From 1894 to 1898, the
whole burden of indebtedness resting
on the Union and Central Pacific COM
panies falls due. The bonds issued by
the government to help build the Union
Pacific reach $35, 1885, 9,5l2, now amounting
with unpaid interest, te $54,77S, ,754.
The Central Pacific debt on the same
account aggregates $i3, ,466,l 100. 1t will
be impossible for either road to pay this
enormous debt. II they fail, the gov.
ernment has the right to foreclose. The
companies will probably ask congress to
pass an act by which the government
will take up these bonds, ana issue
others in their stead, to provide for
which the present contributions of one
fourth of the net earnings will be con-
tinued. If this is not done, the roads
will be given up. The owners of the
Union Pacific already control parallel
line to Ogden by the Atchison and Rio
Grande roads, and connection to the

The Logging Season.

The Superior Lumber company have
started their mill, the largest in the
country, for the season. The com pany
has 27,OOO,000 feet of lumber to cut.
At Ontonagon, fine rain has given a
fresh impetus to the lumber drives on
the river, and will add millions Of feet
to the receipts of the season. About
60,000,0O0 feet are now RATED at the
Beef Slough boom, and they are turning
out not less than 100000 feet per day,
and the consignments are about the
same. AS high as 5000, 900 feet per day
will be rated, providing the owners of
logs will take them away as fast as RATED.
One-half Of the logs now RATED are
new logs, banked during the winter of
lSS2.S3. There are about 460 men at
work now on the slough, say from Round
Hill to the mouth Of the slough. There
was not less than DOC, 600 900 feet banked
on the Chippewa river and tributaries
last winter, probably 500 900, 600 Of which
will be manufactured on the Mississippi
river, and the rest on the Chippewa and
tributaries.

The Coming Railroad War.

Another meeting has been held to
settle the differences relating to freigh,
rates to upper Mississippi river points
The idea OF establishing three kinds OF
rates has been abandoDed 1t was
agreed that the roads in the Northwest.
ern Traffic association should quote on
this business the regular tariff rates and
make no rates in connection with the
water lines. Another meeting will be
held Monday to take further action. II
is generally believed that war on Up
per Mississippi river business cannot be
avoided. 1t is stated that contracts have
been made in connection with the water
line on st. Paul business that cannot be
abrogated and which will force the rail
lines to reduce their rates also. In or
der not TO break up the traffic associa-
ton it is probable that the roads next
Thursday will agree upon special rates
to st. Paul and other points affected by
the water competition, TO prevail dur
ing the summer.

Col. Ilges has received information
that the Cree Indians are preparing for
a general war. Three hundred lodges,
under Big Bear, Lucky Man and Little
Pine, are camped within twenty five
miles of Fort Walsh, preparatory to
crossing into Montana to avenge the loss
of Crees in the late horse stealing raids.
Col. Ilges' informants are scouts who
have been in the camp. Ilges imme-
diately on learning of the proposed raid
dispatched couriers to Fort Walsh to
demand of the British authorities to
take immediate action to prevent the
Indians from crossing the line, if pos
sible. He thinks the first attack will be

Banker Mcad's Alleged Murder

Judge Stewart, of Portage City, Wis,
will hold court for Judge Park at Wau-
paca, commencing May 22. The Vande-
car-Mead murder case will then be
tried, and the excitement preceding tn e
event is becoming apparent. \ strong
effort on the part Of the Mooney X Ba-
land detective agency who arrested
Vandecar, aided by others interested,
will be made to convict the alleged MUIR
derer. Many who think Vandercar in
nocent say they will see fair play. The
case will be one of the most important
ever tried in the state. Mead, it will
be remembered, was an eccentric and
rich old banker living in Waupaca. His
bank was robbed and he was murdered
on the night of Oct. Z, last. Nandecar
was arrested early in January as the
perpetrator of the crime, and has been
in Jail at Waupaca ever since his arrest.
There is division of sentiment as to his
guilt.

Mexican forces were victorious, has fully
established the fact that the number Of
renegade Apaches is more than thfee
times greater than Heretofore believed
Gen. Garcia places the number of In
dians encountered on the west side of
the Sierra Madre mountains at from $50
to 200 warriors. From the best infor-
nation at hand the number Of hostiles
in the mountains and eastern slope will
not fall short of 100 or total of not less
than 800 warriors. The present cam
paign has brought out this information.
1t is anything but encouraging to the
people Of Arizona. The Sierra Madres
are the most abrupt, precipitous, exten-
sive and lofty chain Of mountains in
Northern Mexico. 1t is almost fmpos-
sible to penetrate this vast mountain
range, and when the area, which is as
large as the state of Ohio, is taken into
consideration, every one who has the
least knowledge Of such country and
the fighting propensities of the Apaches,
will readily realize the magnitude of the
undertaking. The ModoC war was but a
small affair in comparison to what awaits
Gen. Crook aud the Mexican forces in
dislodgng and subduing the Apaches in
he Sierra Madre. AS the Apache Ques-
ton now presents itself it will require
at least a six months campaign with the
best backing the government can give to
Gen. Crook, and with the hearty coop
Grafton Of the Mexican forces to bring
the renegades to terms. The task is
herculean, and, without doubt the most
difficult that Crook has ever underta-
ken. If he fails the Indian troubles in
Arizona will have but just begun.

The decision of the United States dis
trict court at Des Moines Wednesday,
denying the validity Of the Green drive
well patent, recalls group of very no
table cases. and ends a tedious and hotly
contested litigation in Minnesota and
Iowa. The Iowa case is test for nearly
200 cases in Minnesota. and probably a
larger number in iowa, which were
brought in local courts two or three
years ago by the proprietors Of the
Green patent, to enforce their claims
for royalty upon the users of drive wells.
The Iowa decision is said to carry with
it all these cases, and to free all users Of
drive-wells from claims for royalty un-
der the Green patent, unless reversed
by the supreme court, te which it will
doubtless be carried.

The rigid measures enacted by con-

and spurious teas will not protect the
country from tea adulteration without

United States. The importation Of i'm
pure tea will hereafter be very difficult.
not wholly impossible, but there is
danger of adulteration after
importation. 1t has been found that the
manufacturer Of spurious coffee berries
from dough baked in moulds has be-
come an extensive business, and the in
experienced shopper may purchase as
pure coffee an article containing one
fourth part of such spurious berries. 1t
is probable that unscrupulous dealers
will resort to similar practices for the
adulteration of tea. Dried leaves of va
rious sorts and vile concoctions of inde-
scribable character may be mixed with
good tea. unless provision is made to
prevent that result.
