NOT A TRANSFER.

Minister Sargent Removed and Let
Down Quietly by Way of st. Peters
burg.
Great efforts have been expended, says
a Washington special, to make it appear
that Mr. Sargents transfer from Berlin to
st. Petersburg was effected at his desire.
The contrary is the truth. A dispatch
received from Sargent by a friend in this
city distinctly states that he would have
preferred to stay at that post and leaves
it to be inferred that he was not con-
suited as to the transfer. The friends of
the Minister outside of the administration
circles assert if he had been left to choose
he would undoubtedly preferred to re-
main in Berlin and fight it out there.
Talk of this thing being done with Mr..
Sargents consent" exclaimed a Senator
to-day, "and then call it a transfer and
even an advancement. 1t is preposterous.
1t is simply silly TO endeayor TO make it
appear as such. Nobody is deceived. No
one knowing Mr.. Sargent thinks that he
asked to be recalled or transferred te st.
Petersburg. The post at Berlin is a more
important one than that at st. Petersburg,
though the pay is the same. In some way
it is the most desirable mission
abroad, while that to Russia Is
coveted by few on account Of the
high cost Of living there. Whv
couldn't the State department come out
honestly and say that it is removal,
instead Of sending a sensational and high
ly-colored dispatch to Mr.. Sargent. which
is not going to pull the wool over the eyes
of the diplOmatists. The creaking Of the
machinery is heard too plainly, and the
scene-shifting hasn't been done quite
cleverly enough to deceive peOple.D
This SENATOR'S views ranrocouf fl,rcn
held by minority of the Senate, though
no one outside the devoted adherents of
the administration pretends to say that
Mr.. Sargent asked to be transferred to
st. Petersburg, or that it was done with
his consent.

The Dispute Narrowed Down to n Ones
tion of Veracity and Boynton Ac-
quilted.
WAsHINGTON, April 1.-The action of
the special committee to investigate the
charges brought by ex-Speaker Keifer
against Gen. Boynton was unanimous as
to the resolution reported Two reports
accompanied the resolution, one signed
by Representatives Hopkins, Ward and
j. Adams. Democrats, and the other bv
Messrs. Poland and Wilson, Republicans.
The majority report reviews the testimony
presented to support Mr.. Keifer's charge.
condemns it as entitled to but
little weight, and concludes that
"the proof Of the charge rests upon
the testimony of Mr.. Keifer alone
Mr.. kelfer's testimony as to the al
legged corrupt proposition, and all of its de-
tails, is fully and fatty contradicted bv
the testimony of Gen. BoyntOn. If there
was nothing but the conflicting Oaths of
these two men, it might be more embar-
RAISING IN reaching a conclusion: but Mr.
Boynton being accused of a grave crime.
the penalty of convection being disgrace
and Imprisonment, we are bound to start
upon our investigation with the legal pre-
sumption that he is innocent"
Alter arguing that Mr.. Keifer's story is
highly improbable in ITSELF the report
goes on to say that his testimony is CON
troverted by several of Mr.. Boynton's
witnesses, whose characters cannot be
assailed. The minority report agrees
with that of the majority in everything
but the weight attached to the evidence
of Gen. BOyntOn's witnesses in contradic.
tion of Mr.. Keifer in regard to an inter
view between Messrs. Keifer and BOyn-
ton after Mr.. BOynton's alleged corrIIDt
proposition to Mr.. Keifer. OF these wit
nesses the minority say: sFWe do not in
tend to cast doubt upon the fairness
and truth of the several witnesses who
have testified to this interview and
who say it was the night of March |. We
feel sure that they are mistaken as to the
day, and that the interview they witnessed
was day or two earlier. The results
that the alleged statements of Gen. BOyn-
ton to Mr.. Elder and President Garfield.
offered in support Of the charge against
him, we do not find established as true.
and the interview between Messrs. Keifer
and BOynton, at the office of the latter. we
do not find to have been had at a time
that makes it material to this case. The
case is left with the evidence to support
the charges, which is substantially that of
Mr.. kelter alone, and the counter evil
dence, the sole evidence of Mr. BOVntOu.
Mr.. Burden being an accuser, the charge
is not made out. We should be very clad
to believe that the difficulty between these
two men has arisen from some misaDpre-
hension or misunderstanding. If this be
not possible we must leave it as we found
it-a question of personal yeracity be-
tween them"

BUYING UP BLACK WALNUT
What English Capitalists Are Doing in
Ohio, Indiana and Iowa

Unusual quantities of black walnut
lumber have been passing east from
points in Ohio, Indiana and Iowa for
some weeks past, says a Buffalo special
to the New York Times. The shipments
have attracted attention among lumber
dealers, and it is learned that a company
Of English capitalists, with whom veal
thy combination in Indianapolis is cooper
atsng, have been for year and more quiet
ly getting possession of all the black wal
nut timber 1t has been possible to buy,
and are now shipping it to England. The
writer's informant, who was buyer for
those parties, says that the traveller on
the railroads through the walnut belt will
see at nearly every important station pOr-
table steam saw mills at work early and
late ripping up black walnut logs into
pIanks OF convenient size for shipment
The company has had buyers out all
through the states mentioned gathering
up walnut trees wherever they could be
found. In many cases the farmers have
disposed OF their trees at prices far below
their value, and it has only been recently
that they have become aware of the scheme
that is to take OIt of the country the most
of the remaining black walnut timber in
1t. The consequence is that all the wal
nut the company now buy costs them
double the price they were paying a few
months ago.
''If the original forests of Ohio and In
diana were now standing" says the gentle
man referredtO, ''their valuation would be
many times more than il is to-day under
improvement. In making their farms the
settlers IN these States destroyed millions
and millions of dollars worth of black
walnut, and the destruction ceased not
more than twenty years ago. In search
ing for timber / visited more than one
farm where miles of fence were laid with
walnut rails, and the fences are not old
ones at that. This was in Bartholomew
county, Indiana, which, with Jennings
county, contains about all the wal
nut forests that are left in that State.
One old farmer told me that he worked
almost necessarily for eight years to
clear away the walnut trees on his farm,
and that he burned up more than so acres
OF the finest kind of timber. His farm,
after 30 years of cultivation, could not be
sold for more than $4,000. If it had its
walnut trees back it would be worth
more than 100000. This farmer was an
old settler in the State, and only one
among hundreds of others who for more
than 90 years girdled and cut and burned
the great forests they found occupying
the land. The English company will
send to England probably $4,000, 600
worth of walnut that they have pur-
chased from the farmers at almost nOmi-
nal DricqSv -

day next, under a suspension of the
rules, that a day be set apart some
time about the end of April or the
1stof May, for the consideration of bust
ness from the Judiciary Committee. If
he carries his point, the first bill consid
cred will be the bankruptcy bill. There
are, however, three members of the com
mittee who are opposed to any legislation
on the subject, and it is now considered
extremely doubtful if the necessary two
thirds to suspend the rules can be Sc
cured. If the bill has to await its regular
turn on the calendar the prospects of its
ultimate passage at this session will be
greatly lessened. 1t is expected that the
Senate Will take up the bankruptcy bill

Capt. Payne in Washington Looking
After His Colonization Interests.
Capt. Payne, of Oklahoma fame, saws a
Washington special to the st. Louis Re-
publican, has been here for some time en-
tightening Congressman regarding his ex-
periences in attempting to establish a
colony of settlers upon the disputed tract
of land in the Indian Territory and re-
garding the extraordinary treatment he
received at the hands of the Federal. civil
and military authorities. His letter IN
Commissioner OF Indian Affairs Price has
attracted attention. Some of the mem
bers OF the Military Committee. of the
Public Lands Committee and of the In
dian Affairs Committee of the House thinI,
that Capt. Payne'S case is worthy of a
thorough Congressional investigation. NOT
simply because of the singular circum-
stances connected with the action of the
military authorities and the Federal Court
officials of Kansas, but also because of
the bearing of the case upon the status of
the Oklahoma lands and the action of the
government with reference to the cattle
leases in the Indian Territory.
The House Committee on Military Af-
fairs has called upon the Secretary of War
Tor all proclamatiOns, military orders. and
al OJueI papers pertaining 10 Jne removal
OF persons attempting to effect homestead
settlement of the Oklahoma lands. The
House Committee on Public Lands will
probably soon investigate the question
whether or not those lands belong to the
government. The Committee ON Indian
Affairs is already examining the facts
relating to the leasing of lands in the In
dian Territory for cattle grazing pur-
poses.
A letter received here from a gentle
man in the Indian Territory says that the
cattle men there had been assessed one
fourth of one cent per acre luore than
they had expected for the purpose of
getting things fixed at Washington. He
says that the Board of Directors of the
Cherokee Stock Association are giving
leases on all public lands north of the
CimarrOn river. Another scheme private
ly talked of, he says, is to get a lease of
the Greeks or Seminoles. 1t is claimed
that the Greeks have ever got paw for
the lands transferred by treaty to the
Seminoles, that the Creeks still own it by
right. The writer Of the letter saws:
