THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC LAND GRANT PROTESTS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 5.-Repre-
sentative Dunn has addressed to the secre-
tary of the interior communication re-
iterating the protest made by Gen. Rosen-
cranz, Representative Cobb and himself
against any action on the part of the de-
partment looking to the issuance to the
Southern Pacific Railroad company of Ger
ti6cates for land grant of the Texas Pacific
Railroad, and against the filing of any
mortgage by the New Orleans Pacific Rail-
road company in lands claimed by 1T as
assigns of the New Orleans & Vicksburg
Railroad company as basis for the issue
of land grant bonds. Dunn says: My at
tention is now again called to a statement
in press dispatches of a recent date, to the
effect that one Sypher, person unknown
to me, has in letter to the secretary of
the interior urged him to act favorably on
the respective claims of the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad company and the New Or
leans Pacific Railroad company to the re-
spective land grants that they are seeking
to acquire by virtue Of said pretended as
signments and against which action said
protests were made, and that he assigns as
one reason for such favorable action the
statement that said protests have been
withdrawn. The acting secretary of the
interior was verbally notified late in June
that no power or authority was conferred
upon any person whomsoever to do or per-
form any act whatever in connection with
the said protest or matters to which they
related, for us or our names.
Dunn also repudiates any action that may
have been taken by E. l.. Hill in the mat
ter of Syphers' application for the appoint
ment of commission to examine the
completed section of the Southern Pacific
railroad which was made some time ago.
Acting Secretary Joslyn refused to act upon
it and Sypher forwarded his application to
Secretary Teller, who promptly returned
it with the endorsement that no commits
sion should be appointed.

Fred Douglas, 1 9 colored leader in, an
interview with Star reporter to-day, said
the statement printed in New York news
paper that the proposed convention of
colOred men at Louisville the
oath inst was to be in the interest of the
present administration was untrue. He said
also that he proposed to go as delegate
to the convention if one should be held,
and that he had received letters from
Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Nebraska,
Indiana, Maryland aud other states, in-
forming him that delegates from those
states would attend. He said also that he
had received letters from Senator Harri-
son, of Indiana, and from the mayor of the
city of Indianapolis welcoming the con-
vention to indianapolis IN case it should
not be welcomed to Louisville, Ky, and
in any case if the colored people should
wish to hold the convention there.

WOrkmen Discharged.
Especial Telegram to the Globe


MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 5.--A rumor
was current to-day that ths Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul company yesterday
authorized the discharge of 400 men in
the various shops of the city, and that $50
more had been discharged to-day. A re-
porter was informed at the general Office
this afternoon that the rumor was doubt
less considerably exaggerated. No knowl-
edge whatever of Wholesale discharge
of employees was known. Mr.. Lenno1
thought that perhaps many men had been
discharged on hevarious lines of the road
owing to the advanced state of .eths seq
sens work in the repair shops, In the
spring of the year hun 1reds of extra
hands are usually employed in making
repairs resulting from the wear and tear
OF Winter travel and that work had been
completed for this year. The heads OF
the varieus shops had the hiring and dis
charging of their workmen and no news az
to the reported discharge had been re-
eeivsd at the general offices.

A Young Girl Kills q Bear,

Noah Garlitz, farmer, who resides
at Pea Ridge, Garrett County, Md,
about eight miles west of Homecoming,
was in the woods searching for his cat
tie when he came suddenly upon a huge
black bear, which at once attacked him.
A good dog which accompanied the far
mer at once came to his rescue, and
after a terrible struggle Mr.. Garlitz be-
came free.
Leaving the dog and bear in fierce
conflict, he sped to his home near by,
and, securing a trusty rifle, FASTENED
back to the spot, his daughter Annie,
aged II years, accompanying him. Mr.
Garlitz found his good old dog fast
weakening and the ferocious bear be-
coming more savage. He at once raised
his rifle and fired, quickly repeating the
dose, and bruin fell, not killed but Sc
verely wounded. In attempting to
make step forward Mr.. Garitz STUN
bled and fell, which aroused the pant
ing, bleeding animal.
As it attempted to rise Annie stepped
over her PROSTATE father and, snatching
the gun, took steady aim and fired, send
ing leaden missile crashing through
his brain.

Slight Fire.

About $40 o'clock yesteday an alarm
was sounded from signal box "A, Front
and Justisnn streets. The fire was dis
covered to be in Il frame Shanty, No 53S
Lafayette street, in the rear of Charles
Agness' house, and for time it was
thought thai it would gain such head
way before the tiremen arrived, that it
would be entirely destroyed, but fortu-
nately the flames wer" confined where
the air could not fan them, and when
the department arrived they were
extinguished. The fire was caused by
a defective tlue.. The house was occu-
pied by colored family, who suffered
considerably by water. When the lire
brok out it was amusing to see the i'll
mates of the house moving out, and ar
ticles were thrown from the second
story window in reckless manner.
