The River at Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June %.
The river rose about three inches during
the forenoon and in the afternoon remained
nearly stationary. Old river men gener-
ally agree in opinion that the June rise
pate its coming within six or seven days.
This, however, is no more than mere specu-
lation. The river has risen slightly to-day

TOPEKA, KAN, June -.
The Kaw River rose yesterday fourteen
inches, but has fallen some to-day, being
about nine inches lower. The water now
stands only four feet above low-water
mark, and is gradually lowering.
Failing at Glasgow.
GLASGOW, No., June %.
The river has fallen about twelve inches
in the last two days. This fall, however, is
scarcely perceptible as yet, and at the
present rate Of retrogression it will be sew
eral days before the effects OF the
fail can be seen or felt. Advices
from Kansas City say that tbs
river has risen eight inches at that point
since yesterday. 1t will take rise of al
least two feet at that point and above,
however, to get over the highest point oil
last week at this place. The indications
now are that we have seen the worst, unless
indeed the June rise should come down
within few days. River experts at this
point say they do not anticipate such an
event now, and that the water viii recede
several feet before another rise.

AssIafnnt Secretaries.

The attention of War department officials
has been called to a peculiar feature of the
legislative, executive and judicial appropria-
tion bill passed by the last congress. The act
for the current fiscal year contained pro-
visions for an assistant secretary of war and
an assistant secretary Of the navy, and appro-
priated $500 forthe pay of each Noappoint-
monts were made, and it is believed congress
ut its last session intended TO repeal the pre-
vious law as to both. The legislative bill,
however, as il became law contains in the
paragraph making appropriation for compen-
sation Of the secretary Of war and the clerical
force of his Office this proviso;
Provided, That the provisions OF the act entl.
tied, &c, which authorized the appointment OF
an assistant secretary of the navy, be, and the
same are hereby repealed.
No reference is made TO an assistant secre-
tary of war, and some questions have been
raised in tho War department as to the ad-
ministration of the law. The general opinion
seems to be, however, that as the provision
of the former act was not distinctly repealed
as to the assistant secretary of war and rs an
appropriation was made for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1888 an appointment could
be made, and the salary would be available to
that date but it is understood that the secre-
tary will not ask she appointment of an us
sistant secretary, and the failure of congress
TO continue the appropriation will, after June
80 remove any doubts ON the subject.

Petition for nIondnmus.

Ex-Goy Lowe, Of Iowa, has notified Judge
MacFarland, commissioner of the general
land office, that he will file with the United
States supreme court to-day petition for a
state an account between the United States
and the state of Iowa under the per cent.
clause of the act of March 25, 1Si5, which pro-
vided for the admission of the state into tho
union. The state claims s per cent. Of the
net proceeds of the public lands disposed Of
by military warrant location upon the esti-
mated basis of S1.25 per acre, that being the
face value of the warrants. 1t is understood
that the second section Of the act Of March
3, 1857, is mainly relied on. by the state as
authority for the right to claim an account

Tic Three Cent Piece.

The attention of the Treasury department
has been called to the fact that the three cent
nickel pieces, which have been in circulation
since 1867, are open to the same objection as
regards the designation of their value as the
new five cent nickel piece which has just
been altered so as to include the word "cents "
in its inscriptions. The word "cents" docs
not appear on the three cent pieces, and the
only designation of its value is the Roman
numeral Iii" on the reverse. The matter
will be presented TO Secretary Folger as soon
as he resumes his duties.

Life Saving Service.

The life saving authorities are meeting with
great difficulty in securing volunteer crews
on the lakes in consequence of the interpreta-
tion recently placed upon the law making ap-
preparation for that service by the Treasury
department. According to recent decision,
volunteers cannot bo paid except for service
rendered in actual cases of marine disaster,
and the saving of human life by them is not
considered as entitled to remuneration.

Atrocities by British Officers,

The following story told by the Sgd
ney MaI, of Sydney, Australia, is hor-
rible illustration of the inhuman bar
barsm that may still be found in GER
tain quarters of the world. A young
British police officer was out with a de-
tachment of colored "boys" hunting for
some of the Mayall tribe OF blacks who
had been suspected of stealing quantity
of flour. "They came upon camp Of
Mayalls," says the account, surprised,
surrounded them, and forced them to be
hospitable, They ate their kangaroo,
drank their water, and made them cor
roboree. After all was ended, that the
blacks might not get away in the night
and steal more sheep, the officer said to
his boys Just you pull out your re-
volvers and shoot them The bows
did not like to at firsN but the officer was
peremptoly. and was obeyed. When the
Mayalls were killed there were three old
women wailing. who did not seem worth
killing. Kill them, too said the officer
and they were killed, Three young gins
(wives) were not killed; one of them was
handcut1ed about the ankles and tied to
n saplng The boys rode on in the
morning, leaving the officer and the
young gin thus secured. Presently a
stranger came along (and it was ho who
tells the story, and the two ate and
drank together, When it became time
TO move it was remembered that the
young gin was tied up. We must loose
her first said the chief, and felt for the
keys. He had no key; the boys had
taken them away, Whist was to be
done? 4 can not lose my handouts.
he said and before there WAS time for
remonslrance he had drawn pistol and
shot the gin through the brain, and then
hacked off her feet at the ankles, aud so
saved his irons.
