GRAHAM's MOVEMENTS.

General Graham is ordered not to
pursue his reconnaissance far beyond Har-
douk. 1t is not true that Turkish troopss
are going to Suakim or that the British gov
eminent has decided to send an expedition
to Sinkat and Berber. The offer of reward
for the head Of Osman Digna was made
AGAINST orders sent to General Graham for
friendly overtures with the rebel sheiks In
Guiding Osman. Graham and Sir Eveleyn
Barring have been asked for explanations.
HIS COURSE APPROVED.
1t is stated Bismarck is receiving
numerous kilograms approving his speech
in regard to the Lasker incident. He Is as
tonished at the rapidity with which mes
sages of approval have reached him from
America.
OsMAN STILL DEFIANT.
The spirit of Osman Digna and some
OF his fanatical adherents is very far from
broken. He has returned with as many as
1000 followers to the neighborhood of his
former encampment. He adopts the same
course in his intercourse with his people as
before the last disaster, and is exhOrting
them to a religious war. He assures them
that in the third battle success will be
theirs, but the tribes are much demoral1zed
as they reflect upon the full significance OF
their crushing defeat. Osman does not hes
itate to make use of stern measures to-
wards any followers who show signs OF dis
affection. Two shieks, who attempted to
leave the camp, have been placed in irons.
Admiral Hewitt's proclamation, Offering
reward for Osman, has reached the hands
of the shieks with him. They read it and
spurned it with supreme contempt. Os-
mans scouts, to the number of 100, were
watching close about Handout. They are
under orders to kill all stragglers, whether
English or Of friendly tribes.
GEN. GORDON DISAPPOINTED.
Gen. Gordon has told the French
consul at Khartoum that he is disappointed
in what he has been able to accomplish.
He said it would be impossible for him to
defend the place against the advancing
tribes. In Cairo it is stated . "a. Abdel
Kadir Pasha, minister of war, will be sent
to rescue Gordon.
OSMAN'S FLIGHT.
Spies report that Osman Digna, with
a few followers, has fled to the interior.
The flight is attributed to the reward Of
fered for his capture. His slaves are de-
sorting him and fleeing to Suakim.

trial returned verdict Of not guilty at the
opening of court. They were out ali night.

company with his two daughters. The Jury
on the first ballot stood seven for acquittal

spread rapidly. Carpenter was visibly at
fected, but in the court room was more
composed and shook the jurors by the hand
heartily. Announcement of the verdict was
greeted with applause in the court ROOM
Carpenter remarked that he might make 4
statement to the press in future but would
not do so now.

Indian Troubles Feared.

Agent Riordon, of the Navajo agency,
in Arizona, who went to Washington with
a delegation from that tribe to endeavor to
have the boundaries of the reservation ex-
tended and defined, has been suddenly
called to the agency by dispatch from the
the acting agent stating that an outbreak of
Indians was imminent. The commissioner
Of Indian affairs has received the following
telegram from Indian Agent Dyer, now
with the Cheyennes on Tongue river, Mon
tana:
MILES CITY, Mont, March 22.-The
Black Wolfe band have burned down An
derson's ranch. A cowboy shot an Indian.
The cause is unknown. The particulars
will be sent by mail. Great excitement
prevails here. l am afraid that trouble will

CAPITAL TOPICS.
NOT FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

NOT FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
A telegram was received at the treas
ury department from j. Fl. Sanders, secre-
tary of the treasury cattle commission, say
ing that the experts sent out by the commits
sion prom ounce the alleged outbreak among
cattle in Illinois not foot and mouth disease.
DR.. Law, of the cattle commission, has gone
to Kansas to investigate and report on the
appearance of foot and mouth disease there.
PRIVATE LAND CLAIMS.
The house committee on private land
claims has agreed to report favorably the
bill which passed the senate recently pro-
viding for the settlement Of private lands
in New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona, Utah,
Nevada and Colorado, arising out of grants
made by Mexico before the land included
in those states and territories was coded to
the United States.
The house committee on judiciary
has ordered favorable report on fuckers
bill limiting the time for the presentation of
claims for back pay or bounty due to Off
GERS and soldiers or any other person for
services in the late civil war or any previous
war to three years from the passage of the
act. The bill also provides that all other
existing claims against the United States,
excepting claims for pensions, shall be pre-
sented within six years from the passage of
the act. Claims against the United States
hereafter shall be presented within six
years from the time they accrue.
THE PROPOSITION OPPOSED.
The president transmitted to the
house letter from Secretaries Lincoln and
Chandler opposing the proposition to offer
reward for the discovery aud relief of
Lieut.. Greely's party by private enter
prises. They think it will be inadvisable to
offer an incentive to inadequately prepared
private parties when a government eXpedi-
ton is thoroughly equipped.
THE SWINE PRODUCT.
Accompanying the bill reported by
the senate committee on foreign relations
providing for thorough system of inspec-
ton of all salt pork and bacon intended for
expectation, was supplementary statement
wherein the committee say that from docu-
ments and correspondence laid before them
States from investigations which the COM
mittee have been able to make on the sub
ject, result In establishing, to the
satisfaction of the committee, among
others, two important propositions
or matters of fact: That trich-
ina does exist to a limited extent in
all the swine producing countries, and in
the United States as well as others. The
evidence shows about two per cent. of
American pork infected by trichina; that
the process of curing pork by salt destroys
trichin9 to such q degree that pork thor
oughly sailed and permitted to remain long
enough to become saturated with salt, al
though infected with trichins, is inoxious.

POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

The subcommittee of the senate
committee on postoffices and p0stroads,
having several postal telegraph bills under
consideration, has formulated and printed,
as embodying the views of a majority of the
subcommittee, q bill providing that the
postmaster. general shall establish telegraph
offices at all pcstOffices on telegraphic cir
cults and ali other postoffices within ten
miles of such circuits, where the salary Of
the postmaster is not less than $500.
NOT FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
Commissioner Loring received tel
egram from Professor Salmon, veterinarian
of the department of agriculture, stating
that after a thorough investigation of the
disease at Neosho Falls, Kan, he has con-
Guided that it is not the genuine foot and
mouth disease but it is due to local causes,
and there is no danger of it spreading 70
other sections. The commissioner accepts
this as final.
NEBRASKA LANDS.
In the report to the commission gen.
eral Of the land Office, George W. Fairchild,
deputy United States surveyor of Nebraska,
says all the agricultural land In that section
has been fenced in by cattle men. Their
ranges extend for hundreds of miles, and
wire fences enclosing all the desirable pub
lie lands, and even water courses, are post
ed at intervals with notices threatening
death to any one opening them. Herders
assert that thew hold these lands under the
desert land and timber culture laws. The
result is complete check to persons seek
ing to make homestead settlements.
THE PENSION APPROPRIATION BILL.
The house committee on appropria-
tions has completed consideration of the
pension appropriation bill. The measure
appropriates $40, 6S4, 400 and provides that
any balance of the appropriation for the
current fiscal year that may remain uneX-
pended on June 80, 1884, shall be appropri-
ated. This balance is estimated at S66, 900, =

d. Z. Salmon, veterinary surgeon of
the Illinois department of agriculture, tele-
graphs from Kinsley, Kansas, that the foot

CRAMPS and pains in the stomach and
bowels, dysentery and diarrhes, are very
common just now and should be checked
at once. Johnson's Anodyne Linment will
positively cure all such cases and should
be kept in every family.
THE most distressing case OF scrofula
or blood poison that was ever heard of
was cured by Parsons' Pwgatve Pills.
These pills make new rich blood, and,
taken one a night for three months, will
change the blood in the entire system.
