BILL NyE ABROAD.
He Roams About the Eternal City Picking
Up Lies. #

We arrived in Rome last evening via
the Rock Island road, and an old cattle
friend of mine from the North Park,
who is staying here, invited ne to come
and visit him during my stay in the
city. He had been showing ME the
town and telling me all about it. Be-
fore the Christian era Rome was ruled
by kings who were elected tor life or
during good behavior. This was done
to curtail campaign expenses SO that the
surplus fund could be frittered away OH
bread and otherRoman delicacies. There
was also a senate and college. of pontifi-
ces and tWo-inch augurs, who explained
the will of the gods. These augurs be-
came at last great bore. Etruscan

The partricians were people Wa1o had

but they generally got there Eli with

years old. Those who have been in

Blaine Gives Up.

BOSTON, November IA special to
the Herald from Augusta says: Blaine
regards the official count Of New York
as practically settling the presidential
question. Blaine, it is stated on good
authority, received this afternoon a
telegram from New York, announcing
the completion of the official canvass of
that city and informing him that the
plurality for Cleveland in that state
would be 1887 The same authority
states that Blaine accepts the result
very cheerfully, and has no regrets
growing out of his connection with the
campaign. He feels that he made a
good fight, and gracefully bows to the
verdict of the American people. He
believes the republican party will prove
true to its grand past and will increase
in strength with coming years. He ex-
b ects that in 1883 it will again be called
back into power. Mr.. Blaine leaves for
Washington about the middle Of next
week where he and his family will
spend the winter. He has leased the
SARGENT house on Farragut Square and
will shortly resume work on the second
volume of his Twenty Years in Con-
gress.n The volume will be ready for
publication in June next.

Gov. Crosby's Report.

WASHINGTON, November 13.-Gov.
Crosby, of Montana, in his annual re-
port estimates the increase Of the popu-
lation Of the territory during the year
at 1000 and the present population at
about 1000. He says the cattle now in
the territory number over 100000, and
the value Of the taxable property (Which
he says, does not represent one-fOurth
of the wealth of the territory is between
$50,0OO,O0O and $60O0O 900 In other
directions Montana is steadily increas-
ing in the value OF her material re-
sources and she will, at an early day,
apply for admission into the Union as q
state. The announcement Of the dis
covery of gold in the Little Rockies
near the head Of the great northern In
dian reservation, 100 miles southeast of
Fort Assinaboine has drawn hundreds
to that locality, and the governor gives
it as his opinion that it would be unWise
to attempt to prevent the intrusion Of
the whites.
A large portion of the report is de-
voted to the Indian question. The gov
ernor fayors a reduction in the size of
the Indian reservations. He thinks
that few thousand Indians should not
be allowed to occupy an area equal to
that Of large state, when they do not
use it, and when their occupation pre-
vents it's settlement by the whites. He
advised a concentration Of the Indians
on smaller reservations, and recon-
mends that they be taught to become
self-supporting. The governor also OBJ
jects to the present policy which per-
mits the Indians to lease their land for
grazing purposes, on the ground that 1t
opens the way for large corporations
and spectators to get a footing on these
reservations, to the disadvantage OF
bona fide settlers, who would be glad to
purchase small farms if the reservation
was open to settlement.
OF the present condition of the north
ern Indians in Montana, the governor
says that although rations were sup
piled them, they are in a deplorable
condition and he fears that many Of
them will die during the coming winter.
He calls attention to the continued
slaughter of game in the Yellowstone
park. He describes the late superin-
tendent of the park and his assistants
as entirely worthless. and about as COM
petent to discharge their duties properly
rs Sioux Indian would be to run a To-
cOmotive. He recommends the appoint
ment Of experienced Woodmen to take
care of the park, and suggests that
company of the U. S. cavalry be detailed
as guards for its borders, which are now
the resort OF escaped prisoners.
Much space was devoted by the gov
ernor to the cattle question. He says
the Canadian officials and the Domin-
ion press, aided by certain Chicago stock
yard men. who fear a diversion Of their
business, have maligned and outrageous
ly attacked the health of Wyoming and
c1f tk,<
the part Of our stockmen towards OBJ
tanning market are bitterly opposed.
In conclusion, he recommends that
no polygamist Mormons be allowed to
pre-empt lands. He thinks this pro-
hibitlon would be step in the problem
of extinguishing the overshadoWing
evil of MormOnism

Consolidating Two Big MonopoIies.

MONTREAL, November 9.-The feel
ing is gaining ground that Sir Johns
trip to England with Mr. George Stephen
is solely in the interest ofthe Canadian
Pacific railway. There is a report in
railway circles and among politicians to-
day that the syndicate are trying to come
to some terms with the Montreal Ocean
Shipping company for the use of several
Of their steamers for the ChinaJapan
trade. The story is given prominence
to in an article to-day in the Montreal
Times, in which it points out that Sir
John and Mr. Stephens are endeavoring
to negotiate a loan Of SO 900, 900 with the
aid of Mr.. Andrew Allan, who, for the
use of some of the Allan steamers,
is to be recouped with 100000 acres Of
picked land in the Northwest, and to
the building of his Northwest railway.
A guarantee Of q per cent interest on
the loan Of 81 900, 900 il to be secured by
the Allan company. 1t is also said that
the dominion government will be asked
to give subsidy for the steamship line
to Japan from $3.50, 900 to 100000 per
annum. Asa prominent politician and
railway man said to-day. this scheme
will consolidate the Canadian Pacific
railroad and Montreal Ocean Steam
ship company and make the strongest
monopoly in the world, able to dictate
terms to all the United States lines and
the government.
