cATTLEMEN PREPARING TO FIGHT THE
PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.
NEW YORK. Aug. ia Long Branch
special to the Herald says: The Herald
published recently a telegram announcing
that Gen. Benjamin F. Butler had paid IL
visit Il Block island, about which there
was more or less mystery. Among the
guests in Hildreth's West End hotel, this
evening, is Col. B. Corkhill, formerly dis
trict attorney OF the District Of Columbia.
Col. Corkhill is a son-iR-law of Judge
Miller, probably the highest authority
on the constitutional law on the bench Of
the United States Supreme Court, and as
Gen. Buffers call was on Judge Miller,
who passed the summer at Block island.
and as Col. Uorkhill was present at the
Block island interview, your correspond
ent asked him to explain. the object of
Buffers call on Justice Miller. Col. Cork
hill said: There was no political signi6-
canoe in his coming, but a great deal of
business, whichLwi in the not remote
future, make matters lively in the white
house end elsewhere. | don't think there
is any secrecy concerning it, nor any at
tempt. to conceal the real object. The
real cause of the visit was the order of
President Cleveland, directing the owners
of cattle on Indian lands in the West to
vacate their grazing grounds. Gen. But
Ter is himself one of the proprietors of a
large ranch, and his clients and personal
friends represent many millions Of dollars
of capital thus invested. The order is
therefore of very great consequence and
importance to them, and he was prepar-
ing to see the president of the United
States; and the object of his visit was to
ask a preliminary order restraining the
execution of the proclamation of the pres
idsnt until the question involved could be
determined by the courts. Gen. Buffers
object was to present the matter to Judge
Miller, Judge Blatchford being absent
from his circuit and not easy of access.
