administration, had been in New
Orleans during the last ten days,
while thousands of prominent Mis-.

thronged the Mississippi space,
and noted the greetings extended
by them to Gov. Lowry, and heard
the expressions of respect and
confidence that we're as general as
though a single person had voiced
them all, they would have been as
mach surprised as he must have
been gratified. If there:.is any dis
satisfaction with the Governor OF
his administration existing among

thus far he has a clear track with

without serious opposition to an

No apology to Offer.

New York Herald Special
Mr.. Lamar was very much sur.
prised when he was told to-day
that some of the newspapers were
criticising the order closing the
Interior Department Thursday
out of respect to the memory of
ex.Secretary Jacob Thompson,
who was the head of this depart
ment from 1867 to 1861. Mr.. La.
mar said to your correspondent:
VI have no apology to make for
my action in this matter. The
possible political criticisms refer
ted to could never have suggested
themselves to my mind. Mr..
Thompson was Secretary of the
Interior four years. His success.
sors and my predecessors thought
his portrait worthy of a most con-
spicuous place in the Office of the
Secretary, among these many Re-
publicans who have filed this of.
ice. If they regarded his memo
ry worthy Of such honor, l could
not do otherwise than further re.
member the Office he once filed
and do honor to his memory ex.
actly as has been the custom of
the department whenever an ex-
Secretary Of the Interior has
died. i never heard of an except
ion beng made, and know of no
reason why one should have been
made by ME. On the subject of
h0norlng the memory of the dead
l have very pronounced views,
and recall the adverse criticism
which followed my eulogy on SEN
ator Summer. l have not changed
my views, as | said in the begin
ming. If those who have preced.
cd me found the portrait of the
late Secretary worthy of their
company it was eminently proper
that the usual respect for the
memory of the deceased should
be faithfully observed by this de-
partment. The duty of so order
ing is not one requiring further
explanation #*ftt

Arkansas Justice.

An Arkansas Justice of the
Peace finds himself in an ugly fix.
He was appointed to his Office last
fall aud received from his predo-
cessor a piece of his old docket.
He lived in a remote country dis
trict and could not get hold of a
single law book. Failing to re-
ceive from the Secretary of State
a copy of the Arkansas statutes,
he bought copy of the Mississip.
pi laws of 1866 and proceeded to
administer justice. In three
months he convicted twenty-0ne
persons for misdemeanOr. bound
over three for felonies and tried
thirteen attachment cases. Near
ly all of the cases have been ap.
pealed to the Circuit Court and
the community is in a tumult.
Threats are made to indict him for
malfeasance in Office. The Jus.
tice writes to the Secretary of
State that he does not know
whether to stay and suffer the
penalties of the law or fee to Mis-.
souri,. The Arkansas authorities
are highly amused but the unfortu.
nate justice is in miserable pre-.
dicment.-Little Rock Gazette.

The Utah Commission.

Washington, April 2.-The mem.
bers of the Utah Commission had
very satisfactory interview with
the President to. day. They made
a verbal report to him Of the con-
dition of affairs in Utah and out
lined their plans for future work.
The President listened to them
with attention and expressed sat-
STA ction at the progress made and
approved of their plans. He
promised the commission what
could be done by the administra-
ton toward strengthening their
hands, and sustaining them and
the judiciary of Utah in an effort
to rout out the practice of polyg-
amy would be done. The mem.
bers of the commission also saw
the Attorney. General, and re-
ceived from him similar satisfac-
tory assurances of support. To
morrow they will call upon the
Secretary of the Interior, and af.
ter seeing him will start immedi.
ately for Salt Lake City, where
they will hold q meeting on the
10th instant.

which renders him impervious to

such a smoker that he can get up

lie LAID FOR A WEASEL.

Farmer Terwilhger, OF Lacka-
waxen, had a desperate tussls
with an animal which proved to be
a catamOunt. He had been miss.
ing his chickens from his hen coop
every night for the past two weeks
or 50. He couldn't find out where
they went. The other day he read
how sheriff Ridgway had rescued
o rabbit from weasel that was
suspected of being the cause of
the disappearance of fifteen chick
ems that had belonged to one of the
quarrymen.
"By gum, motherl" said farmer
L. to his wife, 81 believe it's a wea-
sci that's walking off with our
chickens. III lay for him tonight
and bring in his scalp"
Farmer Terwilliger went to the
hen coop, armed with a pitchfork
aud a revolver. 1t was after dark.
He opened the door to eater for
the purpose of laying for the wea-
sci. A yell that filed the coop
and set tho chickens to cackling
greeted him. The next second he
was sprawling in the snow, and an
animal with eyes like Goals Of fire
stood over him, ripping his clothes
to tatters, and losing no time to
get to his flesh. Farmer Terwilli.
ger tumbled about in the snow, but
the animal whose feast he had dis
turbed stayed by him. He finally
got his pistol out of his pocket and
fred. Then he got to his feet and
fred all the shots there were in
the pistol here and there about
the yard. Then he put in his best
licks for the house. He slammed
the door behind him and locked it.
There was not much of his clothing
left on him. When he got his
breath he said to his wife:
u don't know what it was, but l
have my doubts about it's being q
weasel.
The next morning when farmer
Terwilliger pecred out of his up.
stairs window he saw the dead
body of large animal stretched
in the snow near the hen coop.
The snow was torn up for several
feet and red with blood. The ami.
NAL was a catamount, and it
weighed over sixty pounds.

Whlttler's Letter on Gordon.

ran Mail GaZettc.
The following interesting ex-
tract from a letter just received
frsm Mr.. ] G. Whittier, the Qua
ker poet of New England, has
been forwarded to us by Mr.
Charles c. Reed. Mr.. Reed had
suggested to Mr.. Whittier that he
should write poem on Gen. Cor.
don, and this is an extract from
the poets reply, which is dated
Danvers, Mass, March 4, 1885:
Thy letter found me pondering
the very subject to which it SO
kindly sought to call my attention.
For years l have followed Cor.
don's course with constantly in.
crsasing interest, wonder and ad.
miration. and | have felt his death
as u great personal bereavement.
A proyidential man, his mission in
an unbelieving and selfish age re-
yealed the mighty power of faith
in God, sslf.abnegation, and the
enthusiasm of humanity. For Gen.
turies no grander figure has cross
ed the disk of our planet. Un-
ique, unapproachable in his mar
velous individuality, he belongs
40 no sect or party, aud defes
classification or comparison. |
should be sorry to see his name
used for party purposes, for nei-
ther Conservative nor Radical has
any special claim upon him. We
Americans, in common with all
English.speaking people the world
over, lament his death and share
his glorious memory. | wish IT
were in my power to do what thee
so kindly suggests, but | scarcely
feel able to do justice, at this time,
to the wonderful personality
which for the past year has stood
on the banks of the Nile, relieved
against the dark background oi
the Soudan. l have been suffer.
ing from illness. and dare not un'
dertake the eulogy of such man
with a feeble hand. Perhaps il
may some time be in my power,
as it is now in my inclination, ia
put my thoughts of him into met
rical form. If ! could reach the
ear Of Alfred Tennyson | should
urge him to give the world thre-
nody inspired by the life and death
of one who has made not only
England but the world richer fol
his memory

RED CLOUDS SPEECH.

The following, says a telegram to
the st. Louis Republican, is a
translation of the speech made by
Red Cloud, the Indian chief, when
he called the other day upon the
President:
81 am head chief of my people.
My people made me u chief, and
when | made a treaty with the
Government seventeen years ago
the commissioners made me q
chief. You are chief of the white
people and the Indians; 30 my
people held u council, and told me
to come to Washington, to see you
and have talk with you. My
people have been treated very bad,
and when we heard that a new
Great Father had been elected We
were all very glad.
sour agent is bad man. He
steals from us and abuses us, and
has sent all the good white men
out OF our country and put bad
men in their places. For long
time | have been asking for a new
agent, but the other Great Father,
would not hear my words. Now |
tell you that | want new agent.
The Great Father sends up plenty
to eat and plenty of clothes to
wear, but our agent doesn't let us
have what belongs to us. He
steals 1t and let's us starye and
freeze. | want my people to work
aud my people went to work and
raise corn and other things like
white men; but the agent won't
let us have things to work
with. He doesn't give us any
seeds to plant nor anybody to
show us how to work. We want
an agent who will let us have what
is ours, aud not steal what the
Good Father sends us. Some of
my young men have wanted to kill
the agent for treating us SO bad,
but | told them not to do 1t. /
said wait till new Great Father
is elected; then he will take this
bad agent away and give us good
agent.
"Last year my people held q
council and told me to ask our
friend DIR. Bland to come and see
us and give us good advice. AS
soon as our friend got there the
agent arrested him and sent him
away with guns pointed at him. |
felt very bad to see my friend treat.
ed that way, and my young men
got very mad. Thhy wanted to
kill the agent and bring DIR. Bland
back, but | told them not to break
the law.o
President Cleveland, in reply,
said: lam surprised at what you
tell me, and l will look into this
matter l want you to have a
good agent who will treat you kind
ly and justly and teach your peo-
pie to raise crops, and you shall
have such a one. You did right
to advise your people not to break
the law, and that you want your
people to learn to work and be-
come civilized. | will do all can
to help you"
The chief shook hands with the
President and said :,Your words
make my heart glad. will tell my
people what you have said to me,
and thst will make their hearts |
glad.p |

"The FreedmaR's Case In kansas
EqaItY.r
Especial to the Globe.Dem.

loPNNlhl W thc NAOuN-DOuisl
AtchisOn, Kan, March 27.-Wil.
liam FOrber arrived in Atchison
last night on the Rock Island train
from Wallace, No., aud reported
to the Police Station that Richard
Coneel, aged Is, a very light Ihu-
latto farm hand ON the Forber
place, in Platte county, had ab-
dueted Belle Bledsaw, aged 10, an
adopted daughter of the family,
last Monday evening and, it was
thought, brought her to AtchisoD.
He had traced the pair to Wallace
Staten. and thence to Atehison
by train. Officer Hitler was de-
tailed to work on the case and,
after visiting a number Of houses
OF ill.fame, in company with MIR.
Forber they sought the home OF
Peter Coneel, a brother of Rich
ard, who is employed at the Mis-
souri, Pacific Round House, and
lives at 1915 Utah avenue. The
searchers reached the house about
IL o'clock, and, after some delay
and many threats, were admitted,
and, sure enough, the runaways
were there. The house is a tum-
ble.down shanty, containing only
one room, and in this room the
entire family ana the young man
and girl were sleeping. The pair
occupied a bed on the floor.
They were commanded to get up
and dress, which they did prompt
ly, and were at once conducted to
the STATEN, where Conesl was
lodged in IA cell. The girl was
taken by Mr.. Forber to the st.
James, where she was sent to bed.
When the pair were separated at
the station she begged to DO per
mitted to stay with him. They
seem to be desperately infatuated
with each other, and declare they
will yet live together. Coneel has
the faintest trace of negro blood
in him, and it is only by the closest
inspection that African features
can be detected. He appeared to
be very intelligent and gentle
manly colored boy and is q very
handsome and attractive fellow.
The girl is a pretty little thing, rs
white az q lily, aud a pure Caucas
ian. She looks to be scarcely 10.
An investigation to-day proves
that they were regularly married,
as they stated, but, a. neither
party is Of age, of course the mar
riage is null aud void. Mr.. For
Der toek his prisoners back to
Platte county this evening, whero
Coneel will be prosecuted for alb.
ducting a female under the age Of
1S and sent to the penitentiary.
The girl will be received back at
her home. The family are strong
ly attached to the girl, aud her
freak ovorwhelms them with
shame and grief. Much indigna-
ton is expressed in the neighbor
hood toward Coneel, where race
prejudice exist to strong degree,
which is intensified by the tender
years and popularity Of tho CIR
and the high standing Of the fami
ly with which she is connected
She shrank from returning to hel
home to-day, but begged to stay
with her lovers family.

THE AFGHAN QUESTION.

London, April 4.-The reports
received from the Earl of Duf.
fern, the British viceroy of India,
indicate that the negotiations in
progress at Rawul Pindie between
him, for Great Britain, and Abdur.
rahman, the Ameer of Afghanistan
are satisfactory to the Indians
and apparently to the British. and
they alse indicate that the negoti-
ations tend SO strongly toward a
joint military alliance between
England and the Ameer that their
very success may be accepted by
Russia as a menace.
The Earl of Dufferin, for in
stance, to-day reports that the
Ameer had obtained from India a
special subsidy fer the mainteu
ance of an Afghan garrison at
Herat of sufficient strength to in
sure the integrity of that entire
district. In addition to this, it has
been decided to give Abdurrahman
the services of an English officer
to superintend the work of con-
structing a series of fortress de-
fenses along the northern frontier.
Of course, 1t is stipulated that
these fertressses are to be garri-
son and defended by Afghans ex-
clusively; but Russia may find
cause for irritation in the specific
and professional military aid open
ly and officially given to England.
Again, Lord Dufferin reports
that ON the part Of Great Britain
it has been agreed that the English
shall construct a railway from Be-
Ian to Candahar and a military
road firm Candahar TO Herat, and
in addition to all this to link the
line Of progress between Bulkb,
Herat and Candahar together by a
telegraph system.
1t is feared by careful observers
that Russia may at least continue
to juggle with the Afghan ques-
tisn under the assumption that
the Rawul Pinde Council is really
arranging a compact with Englvnd
as the controlling spirit of firm
of which the Ameer is but q dunn
my.
The Russian army organ, the
Svet, published at st. Petersburg,
renews its menace against Eng
land. 1t declares broadly that If
the English advise that Herat be
fortified and the fertilization fol.
low as a result Of English coun-
sci and with English assistance it
will constitute cause bell.
The English ambassador at Te-
heran, Persia, near the locality of
the threatened conflict, reports
tnat large masses of Russian troops
continue to pass through Tiflis
southwark. The English Consul
at Batoum makes similar report.
The reports from both sources
are to the effect that the large
bodies of troops are supposed to
be on their way to Merv or Mes
bid.
The British Government has al.
so received reliable information to
the effect that there has been re-
Gently an immense increase in the
number of Russian troops in Turk.
estan. These latter reports esti-
mate the number of Russian SOL
diers already stationed in a line be-
tween Baker and Tarakhs at least
$4,000.
