WASHINGTON. June 26.-The clerk of
the house of represen tatives says that from
present indications there will be fewer con-
tested election cases before the next con-
gress than there have been before any con-
gress for forty-siX years. There will not
be more than four and probably not more
than three.
1t was stated at the White house to-day
that no change will be made in the Office of
collector Of customs at New York before
next week. Mr.. Robertson's term of Office
expires on the 28th inst, and there is a
probability of his retaining the Office until
the 1st prOx.
The ''Butler house force" of senate en-
ployeS, consisting of three messengers at
salaries of 81, ,440 each, two janitors at
5000 and several laborerS at S720, will be
dropped from the pay-rolls of the sergeant
alarms at the end of the present month.
These men are nearly all Republicans.
At the same time one assistant doorkeeper
of the senate at 81, 800. two messengers at
81, ,44O each and some employees of the fold
ing room will be dropped Of these two
are Democrats. one is Republican and the
politics of the other is unknown.

Specldi 10 Une OlOUe.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-In February,
1884, Charles 3. Olson of Boston accom-
panied the commission On Alabama claims
as an insurance commissioner at London,
Paris and Antwerp. He made headquarters
at London, and, being all expert insurance
man, charged such fees as he saw fit,
making his Office an immensely profitable
one. About month ago Mr.. Olson con-
ceived the idea of having himself appointed
United States consul at Gutenberg.
Accordingly he wrote letter to ex-Con-
gresham Morse of Massachusetts, in
which he said he would like the place. that
he had been Democrat of fifteen years
standing land sitting. no doubt, and that
if he, Morse, would get him the place he
would give him 81, 500. Now, Morse, al
though descendant of the Hebrew faith.
had made enough money in the
clothing business to make an
offer of 81, 500 only a flea bite. Hence
instead of aiding Olson in his desires sent
his letter to that prince of earthly saints
Dorman B. Eaton, who designed the civil
service law for George FL. Pendleton.
Eaton was shocked because he saw nothing
in the letter for himself, and in turn he
transmitted to the court of Alabama COM
missioners the secret of the indiscretion of
Mr.. Olson, which was made visible in a
notice submitted by ex-senator Cresswell
for Attorney Olson's recall.

General Traffic Manager Alexander OF
the Manitoba road has returned from
Montreal, where he went to confer with
Grand Trunk officials on competing with
the Canadian Pacific road for through inter-
Canadian business. This matter has be-
come one of great importance to the Grand
Trunk, Northwestern Traffic association
lines and the Manitoba road. The Cana
dian Pacific is making low through rate
on freight from Montreal and Toronto to
Winnipeg, so low that American lines are
unable to compete with it for Manitoba
traffic. The diverting Of this business by
the Canadian Pacific is particularly annoy
ing to the Grand Trunk road, for it enjoyed
an enormous amount of trade before its
competitor was built. The Canadian Pacific
all-rail rate is about third less than the
all-rail rate by the Grand Trunk and it's
connections. The latter line has cir
cultous route by rail and water, over which
it has been making very low rates.
The route is via rail to Sarnia,
boat to Duluth, st. Paul q
Duluth road to Hinckley, Manitoba
road from Hinckley to st. Vincent and
from there by the Red River Navigation
company's line to Winnipeg. 1t made rates
by this route at $1.47 per 100 pounds on
first-class business, but the Canadian Pa
cifc beat this rate 10 cents per 100 pounds,
giving an all-rail route.
The plan now on foot to bring the Cana
dian Pacific to time is to reduce rates,
even to an unremunerative basis, by the
American lines, and of course the Canadian
Pacific has to depend on through traffic
alone and will be compelled to meet the
rates if it wants any business, which it
does; and it is probable that it will go the
American lines one better. This is what
the latter companies want They will hold
the rates below paying basis and throw
all the business to the Canadian Pacific,
which will have to accept it at it's reduced
rate, and the thought is entertained by the
American lines that it will soon be anxious
to come to an agreement whereby the traffic
will be divided and fair rates maintained.
Mr.. Alexander's trip was unsuccessful,
as the Grand Trunk officials were in New
York and elsewhere.

Logan i'm Blaine's State:

Special to the Globe.
PORTLAND. Me-, June 26.-The remark
able demonstrations which have attended
Gen. Logan's visit to Maine have started
veritable boom, which may end in Logan's
nomination for the presidency in 1883.
Blaine was not invited to attend the en-
campment because Grand Army men,
though Republicans, did not dare invite
him. When some Grand Army posts
paraded last August at Strong, in
Franklin county, in uniform, to re-
ceiye and escort the Republican
presidential candidate, the Grand Army
of this department received a staggering
blow. 1t was threatened for a long while
to disrupt the organization in this state, Dut
gradually the feeling subsidized, and the har-
mony which had been broken was re-
stored. But after last years experience
the managers here dared to take no
risk and they did not invite Mr.. Blaine, the
second citizen of the state, as eX-Nice Pres
ident Hamlin. who was hidden, is the first,
for fear of being misunderstood. The result
is the Illinois man has had the whole field
to himself. Right here in Mr.. Blalne's
pasture he has got the best OF the feed.
Mrs. Logan has been as conspicuous, as
popular and as much an object Of admira-
ton and respect to the curious crowd
as the general himself. She knows
how to keep herself before the public
in a way modest and yet profitable,
and helped the cause as it understood she
always helped it. This has been Logan
week in the Blaine state. Perhaps the
thing can be reversed, but it is doubtful If
Mrs. Blaine could do in Illinois what Mrs.
Logan did in Maine

A Counterfeiter,s offer.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO. June 26.-George j. Osborne,
the counterfeiter, having failed to secure
his release on promise of future good con-
duct, now proposes to trade some valuable
secrets to the government for his liberty.
Osborne is unquestionably an inventor of
considerable ability, and he claims that he
never desired to adopt the profession of a
counterfeiter. 1t was while pursuing his
favorite pastime of experimenting in metals
that he discovered process and a combina
ton by which he could make coins having
exactly the same weight, ring and appear
ance as silver. AS he had no money with
which to carry out his projects, he yielded
to the temptation to become a counterfeiter
for time, and began to manufacture the
most dangerous silver coin that has ever
been made. Osborne now offers to turn
over his secrets to the government and give
up counterfeiting forever on condition that
he be released. His offer will be refused.

Nothing i'm the Rumor.

NEW YORK, June 26.-A story was pub
lished some time ago which stated that
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
was endeavoring to gain control of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
railway. The sharp advance in Manitoba
stock during the past few days has caused
revival of the rumor, but an investigation
fails to reveal anything which would 1indi-
cate that the report is true. Vice President
Kennedy of the Manitoba road is now in
Canada, but his private cretary said this
morning that so far as any official action is
concerned there is nothing in the story.
He says that it is possible that
the directors of the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy are quietly pick
ing up the stock or that the advance is due
to an effort on the part of somebody to
squeeze the shorts in Manitoba stock. He
does not credit the story. Peter Geddes, a
director of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, in regard to the rumor, says: 81
really cannot say there is any foundation to
the rumors, for do not know. If were
forced to express an opinion, / should say
the rumors were the efforts of the owners to
advertise the Manitoba property, for I un-
derstand the stock is closely held, and
under such circumstances an advance of
the price of the stock is simple matter.
l guess the whole thing is only an adver-
tiSement.o

Logan and Manning Meet.

Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-Gen. Logan
called upon Secretary Manning before leav-
ing the city few days ago. He desired to
know if the revenue collectors at Quincy
and Cairo, both of whom were friends of
his, were to be retained or dismissed.
Mind" explained he, II am not asking
their retention. l only desire information
on the subject, in order that they may ar
range their plans for the future" Mr..
Manning replied in his usual direct fashion:
''rrhey will both be dismissed as soon as
suitable men can be found to fill their
places. / Imay as well tell you that it is my
purpose to make changes in all
collection districts and in other branches
of the department just as rapidly as
I can bring them about" ''I have no
fault with that. at ALL" responded the gen.
eral. SIT is only right that men filling re-
sponSible positions should be in full SYM
pathy with the administration. If | were a
Republican secretary of the treasury and l
found these important places filled with
Democrats, you may be sure I would re-
move every one of them" The frank state
ments of these two gentlemen, who had
never before met, seemed to put them at
once on the most friendly footing. 81
should like to ask you another queS-
tion." asked Gen. Logan. 81 received
a great many letters from old soldiers
throughout the country asking me to protest
against the dismissal of other eX-soldiers
employed as watchmen and messengers in
the departments here. What shall say in
response to these inquiries?" You can
simply say that these people are dismissed
only for cause; and you may add, if you
like, that their places are invariably filled
by veterans of the late war, the only
difference being that a Republican soldier
is replaced by Democratic soldier. The
first named have been carefully looked after
for nearly quarter of century. L think
it time to give the others chance"

Cheyenne OutbreakFear


WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator ingalls,
to-day received telegram from the gov
emOr of Kansas, saying that an incursion
by. the Cheyennes similar to that of 1861 is
apprehended and that great uneasineSS pre-
walls. The western 0rt of Kansas has
been rapidly settled up this season and the
newcomers are in very defenseless con-
ditiOn. The governor expressed an earnest
hope that the secretary of war would sta
ton troops on the southwestern border OF
the state to guard against an attack by the
Indians. Secretary Endicott being out
OF the city. Senator ingalls, called
upon the president and was assured
that the matter had been the subject of
earnest consideration by the cabinet and
that active measures have been taken by
both the interior and war departments, to
prevent, If possible, any outbreak OF the
Indians, and to represS it promptly should
one occur. Gen. Augr has reported to
the war department that he has sixteen
companies, ten of cavalry and six of in
fantry at Fort Reno, Indian territory. The
last company arrived at the fort to-day.
The general apprehends no immediate out
break of Cheyenne Indians. They have
been informed of the proposed appoint
ment of commission to investigate their
troubles, and express willingness to await
the result.
Late specials from the Cheyenne Indian
agency say that the situation at the agency
looks critical and the officers, employees and
traders are liable to be at
tackled by the infuriated Cheyennes
at any moment The Indians
are drilling daily in regular warlike form.
The arrival of the troops under Sumner
only seems to have stirred up the Indians,
who put out extra spies in all directions.
Without prompt and efficient action
on the part of the government,
bloody raid and massacre will be the re-
suit The special, which is from q reliable
man at the agency, says that the Indians
are in sufficient force to butcher all the
whites, including the troops now stationed
there. The Indians keep their
ponies picketed night and day, and
they are well armed and have
plenty of ammunition. The people at the
agency dare not attempt to reach the Kansas
border. Five companies of the Fifth cav
airy, under Maj. Carpenter, passed through
this city by special train to-day and will be
within days march of Reno tomorrow
