Baggs at Denver.

Doc Baggs, who has a special invita-
ton to return here in December, and
who has given 5000 security to accept, is
thus pictured in the Denver News:
The beaming silk hat of Doc Bags wa
seen on the streets yesterday. 1t wore an
extra polish as did the genial phlebo
tomist himself. AS usual ON his return
from abroad the doctor was interviewed.
He denied ~emphatically that he would
run for sheriff, being satisfied if the
sheriff did not run for him. He also de-
MED the reported arrest at North Platte,
and explained his absence by stating that
he had been down in New Mexico look
ing after his mining interests. He dis
claims all connections with the attempt 20
bunco Rev. Mr. Thayer, of Massachu-
sets, and seems to consider it a rehec-
ton upon his judgment to accuse him o.
trying to get money out of a New England
temperance lecturer, He considers the
charge that he is a candidate for sheriff
one of the worst made against him fol
some time.

himself ''one of them" while in Des

out he will get so thoroughly identified

in giving an account of n wedding there,
states that he was not only there, but
that he also gave the bride a fine cook
ing stove with all utensils complete.
When Vaughan is in a town he is gener-
ally in for all the good things there are,
and a Des Moines wedding is n of
these.

The Danish Brotherhood.

There was a joyous gathering at Turner
hall Saturday evening, at the ball given
by the Danish Brotherhood, of this city.
A large delegation from the sister lodge
in Omaha came over on the 6 o'clock
dummy, and were met at the depot by a
reception committee from the Council
Bluffs lodge and the Harmony band.
Their ladies were given conveyances to
the hall, while the male members formed
in line and marched up Broadway, step
ping to the music furnished by the boys.
The ball proved a success, and the dane
ing was kept up until a late hour, the
visitors returning to Omaha yesterday
morning.
Tie order of the Danish Brotherhood
is a recent organization. There are but
eleven of these lodges in the United
States, the only other one in Iowa being
at Davenp 'rt. 1t is to be distinguished
from the Daneho, as that is a locll socie-
ty merely, though a very prosperous one.

The Canton Riot.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-It is learned that the
Chinese mob at Canton burned thirteen
building owned by European merchants.
None of the Europeans were killed, but an
Englishman was severely handled by the
mob. The Chinese troops were called out
and after much difficulty succeeded in dis
persing the angry crowd 1t was believed
at one time that the soldiers would be obliged
to open fire upon the rioters. There were
no outbreaks yesterday, but mutterings are
heard in the streets and stores, and serious
uprising is imminent. The streets are pa
troled by troops with fixed bayonets, and
should the rioting be resumed there will
certainly be bloodshed Many of the timid
Europeans are preparing to leave the city.
Two British war-ships are now at Canton,
ana they are prepared to take any action
necessary to protect English residents and
their property. The riots clearly show that
the middle classes OF China are desirous OF
going to war with France.

HAWAIIAN SUGARS.
The Treaty Admitting Them Free of Duty
Fails to Benefit the Consumer.

The Treaty Admitting Them Free of Duty
Fails to Benefit the Consumer.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The commission
appointed by Secretary Folger to investigate
the charges that, under color of the treaty
between the United States and the Sandwich
Islands, sugars have been imported from
these islands into the ports of the United
States which were not entitled to exemption
from duty Hereunder, has submitted report.
1t finds that the charges consist mainly of two.
First, that the class of sugar imported since
the treaty went into effect differs from that
contemplated in the language itself, and from
the importation from the Hawaiian Islands
prior to said treaty; that in fact, the process
of manufacturing on the islands had radically
changed and vacuum pans and centrifugals
have been substituted for open kettles and
ordinary methods of purging Muscovado
sugars. Second, that sugars from other coun-
tries were imported into the Sandwich Is
lands and fraudulently exported to the
United States as Hawaiian sugars. After
careful investigation at San Francisco the
commission learned that there was a remark
able increase in the percentage of the lower
grades imported into San Francisco from
July 1, 1875, to Sept. 8, 1876, while the treaty
was pending, as compared with previous and
subsequent years The commission finds that
with few exceptions the sugar producing in
dustry of the islands is in the hands of Ger
man or English citizens or Hawaiians,
With respect to the charge that
the treaty has created a sugar
monopoly on the Pacific coast and increased
the price to the consumer, they say they
did not find this statement warranted by the
facts 1t is true they say, that the remission
duty by the United States has not Injured to
the benefit of the consumer on the Pacific
coast, but the duty remitted which, were
there no treaty, would go into the United
States treasury, now goes to the planter and
not to the refner who buys nearly the entire
product of those islands. The increased cost
to the consumer on that coast of refined
sugars as compared with the price paid by
the consumers in the Eastern States (from
to 2@ cents per pound) is not a result of
the treaty, but grows out of a monopoly of
the refining business in San Francisco,
coupled with the still greater monopoly of
railroad transportation.

Inc quarrel Becoming a Subject for the
consideration of Great Britain
LONDON Sept 13.-Dispatches from Paris
state That the Tonquin difficulty has as.
sumed new aspect in the discussions of the
peace party. In the event of England as
sumlng hostile attitude to France. it is
reared by the Conservatives that England
may again violate the neutrality of the Suez
canal by either actually closing the canal to
the passage of French troops or by throwing
oostructions in the way of their passage
The Suez problem, it is now seen. becomes
interestingly important IN every oriental
question. The Standard, in an editorial
this morning, says the news from Canton
forces the belief that the quarrel between
France and China is rapidly becoming a
matter OF serious consideration for the Brit
lsh government. The question of CONNER
clal relations jeopardized and English lives
risked will be useful levers to raise the min.
lStry to sense of the gravity of the situa-
tlon, and force them to caution France and
emma that their wranglings should not be
TOO long continued. The Telegraph says the
French government must not DELAY action
situation, as they claim they will be. thew
must gain mastery at once or the situation
will soon master them. The Daily News says
that the question concerns all Europe, and
especially England and Germany, whose vital
interests are menaced. The Times saws that
the English government cannot interfere
unasked. Ii the French want Tonquin they
must fight China for it,
Great importance attaches to the return of
Lord Lyons here, and it is believed that he
has been empowered to offer the good offices
OF his government with a view to bringing
about an amicable adjustment of the diff
culties between France and China. The fact
that Lord Lyons had a consultation with
members of the ministry previous to his
leaving London for this city adds color to
this belief 1t is also asserted in semi-official
circles that the comments of LIE Temps, pub
lished to-day, are based on information re-
ceiyed indirectly from Lord Lyons.

of the fact. The criminal element has sub
stantially disappeared, nothing more is heard
of vigilantes and lynch law, and property is
safe. The courts are able and efficient, and
convictions, when deserved, are quite certain
at the hands of iuries As a result
of this improved state of affairs immigration
has been renewed, and industry and enter
prise grow day by day. The taxable proper
ty of the Territory in 1888 amounted to $27,-
137, ,903, against $14 088, ,554 in 1881 The tax
able value of the railroads is fully $15, 900 900,
but they are exempt from taxation for sew
eral years to come. If proper care had been
exercised in making up the returns the Gov
ernor believes $50, 900, 900 instead of $27 000,
600 would have been the estimated value of
taxable property.
There are in New Mexico 5000, 900 acres of
available land which is highly productive
and not expensive to cultivate. There are
also lands enough, when developed, to sus-
tain 5000 900 cattle, 100000, and horses
and mules enough to carry on the business
OF the country. The great wealth of the
country, however, lies in its minerals, gold
silver, copper, lead, iron and zinc, and coal
being abundant, the resources as yet
being undeveloped. An estimate, based
upon poll-tax returns, gives the Territory
population of 100000 of which number
three-fourths are natives of the country and
speak the Spanish language
Governor Sheldon calls attention to the
urgent neeu Oh proper ScnOOl system IN
New Mexico, and to the importance of hav-
ing a session of the Territorial Legislature
IN January next. He also recommends that
Congress create special commission to hear
and decide controversies growing out of de-
1ective titles to land, particularly those
based or purporting to be based on Spanish
and Mexican grants. Speaking of the home
stead and pre-emption laws he says their
operation in that dry and mountainous
country has been to foster land monopoly
of the most Objectionable character. Loca-
tions are made embracing a spring or ex-
tending along stream, and the surrounding
lands are valueless to anyone but
owners of water Hence the man who OBJ
tains 100 acres with an exclusive water priv
ilege controls the use of vast tract without
cost or tax. A cattle company or an indi-
vidual can, by owning few acres, have the
occupancy of a tract as large as some States
of the Union, and if the existing practices
are continued the cattle business of the
Southwest will in a short time be in the
hands of few individuals, the government
furnishing lands gratuitously. 1t is there
fore suggested that the laws applicable to
that Territory be changed The report
closed with a recommendation that Congress
make provision for another judge of the Su-
preme Court to relieve the oYerworked judi
ciary OF the Territory.

with request from the Secretary of the In

has just made full and interesting report
upon the affairs, progress and development
Of that Territory. He begins by referring
to The present security of life in New Mexi-
co, and says that with the exception of the
murder of Judge McComas and wife, no citi-
zens have been killed in the Territory since
October, 1881, and that there are no signs of
hostile demonstrations. Preparations how
ever, have been made to speedily crush any
hostile movement, and the Indians are aware

Action Suspended in California Timber and
Colorado Coal Lands.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The Commissioner
of the Land Office said to-day, in reply to in
quiries with regard to the timber land frauds
discovered in California: II have had
knowledge of these operations for some time
and have had agents out there making inves-
legations. In consequence of the reports re-
ceived from them 1 have suspended action
upon all timber land cases in California,
Oregon and Washington Territory. The per-
sons interested are not getting any patents,
and they will not get any until 1 am salts
fed as to the honesty of their entries In
explanation of the nature of the illegal
operations, Commissioner Mcfarland said:
Congress- by special act provided for the
sale to individuals of separate tracts of
timber land in California, Oregon and Wash
ington Territory at $3.50 per acre. The fraud
in these cases consisted in the procurement,
by one person, of a large number of such
tracts through cooperation with others who
purchased them only to transfer them to
him, in clear violation of the spirit of the
law" Commissioner Mcfarland also said:
'Frauds similar IN character have been dis
covered in connection with entries of coal
lands in Colorado, and that he now had
force of special agents at work in that State
and that he intends to examine carefully
every entry OF land. The land office in
Colorado has been directed to suspend action
on coal land entries until the results of these
examinations are known"

MONEY FOR PENSIONS.
The Number of Claims Pending and the
Amount Required to Pay Them.

lne NumDer OF OlalhS HenutnS ana the
Amount Required to Pay Them.
Washington Special
In connection with his statement showing
the number of unadjusted pension claims
that have been filed, Commissioner Dudley
has made some calculations to show how
much money will be required to pay them.
He finds that the average yearly value of a
pension is $105. The average date at which
arrearages began to accrue is the year 1864.
The number of claims now pending, which
include arrearages, is 14S, S13. If one-half
of these be allowed the total amount re-
quired to pay them will be 1921, 373, 800.
This of course, is in addition to all sums
heretofore paid under the arrearages act.
There are also 5,692 claims now pending
which do not involve arrearages If so per
cent of these be allowed, the annual demand
upon the treasury to meet them will be So.
023, $50. The present pension list calls for
$32, 600, 600 n year. Considering all the claims
now unadiusted to be settled and one-half of
them allowed, the sum required for the en-
tire pension list would be $44, 1856 565.
Should no further claims be filed and allowed
the amount required would, of course di-
minish annually.
