Ratiou. and Uniforms of seam

WASHINGTON, Aug 20.-Some time ago Secre-
tary Chandler appointed board of naval officers to
consider the question of ratiOns given to seamen.
This board has submitted report to the secretary
recommending certain changes in the food. An
other change in the present condition of petty
officers and common seamen will probably be made
in the matter of uniforms. Tue uniforms of the
petty officers will be especially changed, so that
each grade will have some insignia of rank. The
common seamen will be allowed to draw clothing,
without pay, as soldiers in the army do.

Fort Smelling improvements.
MINNEAPOLIS. April 17.-Journals Washing
ton special: Gen. Terry, who has been here Tor
several days in consultation with Gen. Sheridan,
will leave Washington tomorrow to return to
Fort Smelling to prepare plans and estimates
for more than doubling the capacity OF that
posts accommodations. Gen. Sheridan fully
approved Gen. Terry's ideas. Gen. Terry 8
mission to Washington was to consult with
Gen. Sheridan, at the latter's solicitation, as to
the practicablity and desirability Of 30 inoreas-
ing the capacity of the Smelling post as to 40
commodate twice the number of troops now
Concentrated there. The idea Is to transfer
from remote frontier points such troops as are
not really needed there to Smelling, where they
can be better cared for and at less cost This is
on the theory that with the railway facilities
afforded by the Northern Pacific rapid concen~
tration of troops at any given point in case OF
need Is assured. IF this plan is adopted some
frontier posts may be abandoned and others re-
duced. Assinaboiue, Shaw, Belknap, Ellis, Ram
dali, Custer, Keogh, Meade and others may be
affected by the proposed plans. Only posts in
the Department Of Dakota would be affected
and perhaps not all of these.

Northern Pacific Sc ttlement Co


Mr.. VIM. r. Nutting, of Boston, Mass, who
recently passed through the city, is representing
the Northern Pacific Settlement company which
has recently been organized with 10000 shares
at par value of 800 per share. The company
has been organized with a view to aiding in the
create direct channel through which unem-
ployed capital may flow to profitable invest
ment. The 10000 shares is to be subscribed for
at par and paid up on call of directors, at par,
in cash or in real estate or other property or
services at fair valuation, or in preferred
stock of the Northern Pacific railroad, at market
price, to be used in the purchase of land.
Western investments will be made in and
around several locations distant from each other,
80 that the company's success will not depend
on the rise or fall of any one locality. The
company's circular very tersely says: "With
millions of capital earning less than four per
cent per annum, and a hundred thousand
worthy and industrious farmers and mechanics
barely getting living, and anxious for work at
$1.50 per day at the east, and an hundred mil
lion acres of the best lands in the world to be
given away for the settling, or for sale at two to
six dollars per acre, at the west, waiting only
for the unemployed capital and population OF
the east, to increase their value hundred fold
where can there be a greater margin for large
profits, than in bringing together these three
half-idle forces, money, labor and land" MIR.

forty Hungarians and Poles employed at Edgar
Thompson's steel works at Braddock, Pa, en-
gagged in bloody riot this morning at one
o'clock. Pistols, lances and every conceivable
weapon were brought into service and freely

finally quelled by citizens who were compelled
to arrange vigilance committee to suppress the
riot. It was found that three men had sustain
ed serious injuries and q number were slightly
injured. The Poles living in Bruggeman's Row
were celebrating the return to their country of
five of their number and partook freely of
liquor. While the battle was In progress the
citiz,ns, who became alarmed, organized and
marched on the mob, which action succeeded in
dispensing it without bloodshed and five of the
riotors were arrested and lodged in jsil. This
morning at hearing they were held in $500 bail
each.

provement company, has instructed their super
intendent here to make careful estimates of the
cost of deepening the dry bed Of the Hart river,
which, in 1859, emptied into the Missouri at
point just below the present Northern Pacific
raj lroad bridge. The diatance to the mouth of
the Hart by the present course of ttThe river is
about miles, and in low water the river is not
nhvigable. The proposed cutoff would shorten
the distance to little over one mile and enable
Missouri river steamboats, to make landing in
slack water right i'll the center of the city. An
old slough directly south of the railroad track
is being contemplated for the turning point for
boats. Levels have jnst been taken and the
scheme is pronounced entirely practicable.

ever entered Bismarck, and several hearty en-
cores were given the musicians on their selec-
ti0ns.

The jamestown Asylum.

The contract for the construction of the
insane hospital at jamestown, was awarded to
Mr.. Whiteford of Montivido, Minn., Wednes-
day afternoon, he being the lowest bidder by
several Thousand dollars. His bid was 929, $50.
Through the courtesy Of Architect Willet, who
arrived in the city yesterday, and Dr.. o. W.
Archibald, superintendent Of the asylum, .
office yesterday afternoon. The asylum is ar
ranged on the new detached or segregated plan,
and will be the first of the kind ever constructed
in America or the world. It consists of num-
Der of cottage-like buildings separated from
each other by streets and neatly arranged lawns.
A detailed account of the plans would be tire
some to the reader and the TRIBUNE will simply
state that when completed, the various build
ings of the asylum form perfect little village,
with handsome streets and avenues. After much
discussion and thorough investigation, doctors
and scientists have agreed that this is the most
feasible and humane system of buildings ever
suggested for the proper care of the unfortun-
ate insane. The building for which the contract
was let, is bat one If the series. A great ad-
vantage of the detached system, especially for a
new country is the fact that whatever portion is
constructed will be complete and the addition
al buildings may be constructed as the popula-
tion demands By this system the patient is
given neat little room in small, homelike
house, and the terrible influence of large pris-
on-shaped building is removed. Again it per-
mits of perfect classification of the patients
and does not compel moderately insane persons
to be thrown into the same wards and buildings
with the violent and dangerous ones. James
town will be greatly improved in appearance by
the construction of this system of asylum and peo
pie of the territory are to be congratulated upon
having secured the services of so able and ex-
perienced a superintendentas DR.. Archi-
bald and an architect of the rec
ognized ability and reputation of Maj.
Jas. R. Willett. DR.. Archibald was for some
time superintendent of the institution for the
feeble minded of Iowa and has made the care
of insane an almost life study, while Major
Willett is one of the leading architects in the
country. He is the architect of the Kankakee
asylum, which IL partially on the detached plan

Quite q Fight,

MEMPHIS, April H.-specials from Helena,
Ark, report desperate fight yesterday in the
western part of Phillips county, Ark, between
G. posse of citizens led by the sheriff and three
brothers named Charles, Squire and Joseph
Moore, who hsd for some time been engaged in
stealing horses, and who had traced them q dis
tance of 800 miles to where the stock was sold.
The three brothers tried to make their escape in
a skiff, but were fred upon by the posse
Charles Moore, the leader of the gang, was shot
through the small of the back, the bullet lodg-
ing in the stomach. Squire Moore was also
desperately wounded and will probably die
Joseph Moore made his escape. None of the
sheriff's posse were injured, although the

Decidedly Interesting for Taylor.

Decidedly Interesting 1Or IaylOr.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 7.-Journaps Miles City
special says: As was anticipated in previous
dispatch lately, Tay]or's bond was placed at
sl,50O, but it was not so easy to obtain bonds
men, not even in the face Of collateral security
for $1,5OO, which he was able to give. Finally,
however, he secured a couple of bondsmen, but
they were not approved, and the delay is likely
to prove disadvantageous to him, for the public
clamors for more security, notwithstanding bis
apparent desire to help matters out, and tomor-
row the court will probably demand bond ct
$4,000. In this case no straw bail goes. Money
or Taylor must talk. The more freely Taylor
talks, the less bail he needs. That is the way
the matter is lo.ked upon here, and the sooner
he talks and produces the records that were cut
from books, the better it will be for him.
