AN ADMIRING BRAVE.
President Arthur in the Embrace of Greasy
Indian Chief.

STleIs
Washington Special.
By appointment Indian agent Llewellyn, of the
Mescalaro and Jacarillo Agency New Mexico,
and delegate Luna, of that Territory, to-day
accompanied a small band of real Apaches to the
presidential mansion. The .savages had been
contemplating the trip to the tepee of the 'Great
Father" before reaching Washington, and had
worked themselves up to such a degree of curl
osity that other sights here have been of little
interest to them. They were arrayed
in their feathers and buckskin and
one of their number, Augustine,
had loaded himself with a speech which had to
go off. On entering the Presidents quarters
this chief, who carries around PIG pounds of
flesh rushed upon the Executive, clasped his
arms about him, and uttered: God a great
man, but the Great Father is greater" For
fully half minute he retained the President in
his grasp, much to the formers apparent disgust
and discontinue. The fumes that were emitted
from the big chief are quite different from the
odor in which Mr.. Arthur lives, and he wa, 100
light weight TO shake off his affectionate or
phan. After a pleasant talk they retired and
visited the Treasury, where they were shown
the vaults and stacks of ducats, box of which
Augustine was anxious to carry home He was
more satisfied, however, with having embraced
the President and left this opportunity alone.

The Hotel Lessees Conducting Affairs to Suit
Themselves.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-In the Yellowstone
correspondence transmitted to the Senate to-day
there appears letter from Superintendent Con
ger to Secretary Teller, which he asks the
latter to consider private. In it he says the ho-
tel company's people help themselves to what
ever they want inside or outside of the govern
ment enclosures; ruin timber, allow theirherds
to overrun government grounds willfully break
down and destroy fences erected by the superin-
tendent. Hobart of the hotel firm, threatens to
tear down the fences as often as erected. In
consequence of the destruction of fences the pas
lures are overrun by the company's herds
and are so. bare of grass that he will be com
PEELED to take the government stock out of the
park TO winter it, also to purchase food for it at

He closes the letter with this statement: "Ho-
bart boasted in my hearing of his influence with
you, and that he had frequent letters from you,
and told one of my assistants that youhad prom
ised him should not visit Washington this win
ter, and he also said the reason you would not
write me was that you were not going to have
my letters paraded before Congress-
Secretary Teller replies to Conger blaming
him for not conveying the information sooner
He refuses to receive private communications on
public business, and says he has placed Congers
letters on file. He instructs him to notify Hobart
that he must strictly comply with the conditions
of the lease.
Lieutenant Jingman, in his report to the Sec
retary Of War concerning the improvements of
Yellowstone Park estimates that $210, 600 can be
expended proftably next season in improve

building bridges. He does not favorably regard
the proposition to build railroad through the
park, and considers the apparent necessity of a
railroad will disappear upon the completion Of a
system of good wagon roads.

AFFAIRs IN IRELAND.

ceSbIOnS Ubtalned
LONDON, Jan. Notwithstanding the con
eessions made by Mr.. Gladstonc's government
on the franchise question in ireland the Home
rulers are not satisfied. These seconcessions have
been slowly extorted by the pressure which has
been brought to bear by Mr.. Chamberlain and his
brother Radicals, in the hope that they would, to
certain extent, strengthen the positions of the
Cabineta at the coming session of Parliament
The Parnell party, however now state that they
will vigorously oppose any measure of franchise
reform in Ireland, no matter how near it may
approach to universal suffrage, should it at the
same time contemplate a reduction of the num-
Der of Irish members. They insist that the gov
ernment shall pledge themselves to the preserva-
ton of the present Irish representation under
the redistribution act. English Radicals are in
tensely irritated at this newest development of
the obstructive policy and threaten reprisals.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-The provision market took
decided up-turn to-day. The increased number
of hogs stimulated the packers to buy at reduced
prices. The report of the pork-pac king of the
West shows that 900 hogs less than last year
have been packed, but this had little effect upon
the market as it is generally supposed that the
stocks in the West are larger than they were at
the same time last year. February and May
were the favorite options and the market closed
steady at o'clock with an advance in pork of
15a20c and in lard .050 .1Oc, while short
ribs were firm at yesterdays close.
On the call provisions made slight advance,
andon thecurb pork went up 10c and lard 02 1-2c.
There is no doubt but that some strong parties
may be under pork products, and that there is a
large ''short" interest admits ef no discussion.
The ''bears are strong and able to makea strong
resistance against any great ''boom, but there
are influences other than local which will prob
ably appreciate values the provision side of
the house,
Advices were received from Washington that
members of Congress were being almost showed
under by letters and kilograms from their con
stituents asking them to work for the passage of
some measure retaliating upon Germany and
France for the exclusion of American pork. 1t was
thought that the pressure would be SO great
that such action would be followed by the back
ing down of those countries, and that upon the
withdrawal of the restrictions, heavy export
trade would be developed. This was largely the
source of the strength on the curb.
In addition it is freely reported that Armour
and his friends rapidly getting control of the
market. 1t is thought by some that Armour is
also behind the strength in wheat. Your CORE
spondent sees no sign Of this but would not be
surprised if Sidney Kent should be found to have
a very goodly line Of that cereal. At all events,
there are some local ''bus" who have nerve and
resources, who have been loading up with wheat.
They were encouraged, to-day, at the
posting of the visible supply, which

The market was slaughtered later in the day
by reports from Kansas City received by Nc
Dermid, Russ & Co., that only forty cars of
corn were received at that point during the past
twenty-four hours. Fred. Stanley was heavy
purchaser throughout the day. He is supposed
to be operating for Schwartz & Dupee.

The Coming Labor Convention.

PHILADELPHIA, JAN 10.-Treasurer Lennon,
in an interview regarding the matters to he dis
cnssed at the labor convention on Saturday.
said: 1--WE do not expect to nominate candi-
date for the presidency. The object of the con
ference is to consider what is best
to be done. Perhaps the conference
may order the calling of national
convention to be held after those of the great
parties and indorse the candidate who is the best
exponent of our views, or the party which will
insert our plank in their platform. That plank
is the protection of American industries and
American labor"
Secretary Turner, of the Knights of Labor, says
that the organization will take no notice of the
convention.

Kentucky Senatorial Contest.

FRANKFORT, Jan. 1O-There was little change
in the senatorial situation to-day. Most of the
visiting politicians have gone home, to return on
Monday. However, a good deal of quiet work
ing is going on. States are being made up and
candidates are busy getting their forces well in
hand for Mondays battle in the caucus. Leaders
have been selected. Senator Holman will con-
troll the Carlisle campaign. A lively contest over
the adoption of rules governing the caucus is
expected. The rule to drop the hindmost candi-
date after certain number of ballots is strongly
opposed. Sweeney's friends claim that his
chances are getting better, and say he has gained
five votes to-day. They are confident of his ulti-
mate success.

Training that Rducates.
for The free Press,

Thos. I. Lilly, Marshall Texas,
in an article with the above heading
in the Texas school Journal OF April,
1884. uses the following language;
In "Talks on Teaching" we are told
that ''the arithmetic OF the future will
contain not rule, nor a definition,
nor an explanation" Quoted from
memory.) All these should originate
in the pupils mind, under the teachers
guidance, thus affording most edify'
ing mental training. Here we recog-
nize high thought But by parity
of reasoning, the teacher and pupil
together should surely originate the
examples also, especially as this would
be a much easier task, and then we
should have :the arithmetic of the
future" in ideal perfection, literally
without spot or blemish, and afford
ing ample scope for originality.
The author. states, "quoted from
memory" If he had said "the
arithmetic of the future will contain
not q rule; and stopped, he would
have quoted Francis W. Parker
correctly. We can tell him that all
good teachers of arithmetic havelong
since arrived at this stage of perfec-
ton. Prof Church, of New Braunfels,
called my attention several years ago
to the fact, that in the school there,
they used and had been using, such
work for years, and that he had
ample time allowed him to so teach.
The definitions should always be
in the Text Book, and in such langu-
age Us to clearly define. I notice
that many Of the so called arithmetics
of the present, fail to give defini-
ton for multiplication. Prof. Day,
of Yale College, in his Algebra says
that he is afraid to give the true
definition, as it might confuse the
young mind. Prof. Todhunter had
no such fears, as he was well aware
that the first principle developed in
the young mind was ratio.

that the great industries OF this
country must got out of the notion
the Government stimulus is OF any
lasting benefit Like any other
stimulant, il made for little time q
brilliant light then left desolation.
The protective system he claimed had
made labor an auction block, around
which monopolists gathered bidding
in the chained slave, buying him and
his vote at tho same time, and count
ing the profit saved; while tho brawny
arms implore tho mercy ofprovidence
for him and his in this land OF over
flowing plenty. He illustrated what
he called tho abandoned wickedness
of tho protective system in several
ways, calling it class Legislation to
favor one class over all others. He
appealed to the farmers to unite for
their own interest, saying in the near
future stronger laws would be enac-
ted to satisfy the greed of the protec-
tive classes, that would yoke them
down like the Hebrew children, while
their appeals for fairness and justice
would be scoffed at mercilessly. Mr..
Wood said if revenue reform drives

Another report from the majority is
