Improving the Upper Missouri.

WASHINGTON, April 81 Delegates
Maginnis ofMontana, and Raymond Of
Dakota, togetherWith their friends from
states bordering on the Missouri river,
have signed a petition which has been
presented to the house and referred to
the committee on rivers and harbors, re-
questing that 81, 450, 1000 be appropriated
for the improvement OF the Missouri
river from its mouth to the head of navi-
CATION in Montana. The delegates were
~apprehensive that all the lower nor-
ton of the river. wouIdt take most of this
amount. and they believe that If it is
left to the secretary OF war, the larger.
part of it will be expended upon the
upper portion of the river. They hold
that this portion of the river is most i'm
portant in view Of its extensive COM
merce, Of which a large portion is tribu-l
tary to st. Paul. Mr.. Maginnis argued
before the committee that if they Woild
make the appropriation for the whole OF
the Missouri river in one sum. and then
leave it to the discretion of the secretary
Of war, he would be satisfied; but If
they divided up the appropriation, he
wanted $4,000 for the river above the
Yellowstone, and $1OO,OO0 for the Vel
loWstone below Glendive.

V~1ctim1zIng Soldiers.

5 ~
WASHINGTON, April 29.-It has Leen
learned at the. office of the second audi
tor Of the treasury that soldiers are be-
ing extensively swindled by false repre-
sensations on the. part of attorneys, as
to money alleged to be due them under
the new laws, on account of bounty,
etc. Nearly 500 letters are received
daily from soldiers inquiring into the
status of claims which they have been
induced to file under the pretense that
they We're entitled to additional bounty
under the alleged new laws. They are
persuaded in this way to pay an advance
fee of from So to S. to attorneys to pros
ecute their claims. The claims are re-
jected, of course, and the claimants
never hear of it until they apply to the
department. Attorneys pay no atten-
ton to the cases after receiving the adj
vance, as they knew they are without
merit. Soldiers are also induced to send
their discharge papers to these attorneys
who refuse to return them, in the hope
they may be of benefit to them in the
event Of legislation in the future similar
in terms to the proposed equalization of
bounty act. Nearly all bounties paya-
BILE under existing laws have already
been paid. The second auditor suggests
as one method of preventing these
frauds that claimants who suppose they
are entitled to additional bounty write
directly to his office for information on
the subject.

who joined the conference late ID eae
afternoon, brought the same informa-
ton. It seems likely that the lalest
democratic scheme is to TINS
programme to be carried out with II.
denis reluctant consent, and Coionei
Merchant, the we'll known Missouri
democrat, said he believed this plan
had been inspired by Tilden himself,
without formal instructions, but issued
to this effect. The argument VIII De
that the head of the ticket will be llkeiy
to outlive the election, and probably
last through the presidential term but
that il any accident should carry him
off after the electors had been duly chos-
en- in November, these electors could at
the proper time cast their ballots for any
president they chose. In he event
they think it only reasonable that Hen
bricks will be the legatee.

WASHINGTON, April s29.-The report
of the Utah commission was made to
the secretary of the interior to-day. 1t

of the ommission for the past year.
They recommend the passage Of a law
giving the first or lega: wife the right OF

equivalent interest in the estate of her

nearly all Mormons it would be wise to
confer concurrent civil and criminal
jurisdistion upon the United States
commissioners. They also say 1--WE
would suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of con-
sidering a law for the appointment by
