II Removed They Will Contest the Action
of the President in the Courts-COngrts So
tt Handle the Subject
ST. LOUIS, August S.-Mr. II. VI. Pollard,
one of those who recently presented a mem
orial to the President in relation to the re-
mOval of cattle from the Cheyenne and
ArapahOe Reservations, returned last night,
and says that if the President concludes to
order the removal of the cattle from the
Cherokee strip the lesseeS of the land in that
section of the Indian Territory will contest
his action in the courts. They claim
that the Cherokee Indians have the right
to lease their land notwithstanding their
treaty with the Government, and If the
lessees are disturbed they will make con-
test. Mr.. Pollard also says that the re-
moval of cattle from the Cheyenne and
ArapahOe reservations has practically COM
menced. Colonel Hunter. of this city, has
already arranged by telegraph for the re-
moval of 100 head per week, and other
lc5sees are actively at work. A large num-
Der of these cattle will be thrown on the
market at once and others will be driven to
other fattening ranges.
CONGRESS TO HANDLE TIE SUBJECT.
WASHINGTON, August Sit was gwen
OuI dJ TIC lIltCIlOA CpolA'lSIlI llllo iiOIH-
ing that no order clearing the other Indian
reservations of cattemen will be issued un-
til after the Presidents return. The prob
ability is that nothing more will be done
until Congress has had an opportunity to
handle the subject of leasing. Non-actiOn
by the President, however, will depend
upon the condition of affairs in
the several reservations. If any other
tribe begins to manifest a disposition
to do the mischief which the Cheyennes
did for like cause, then an order will be
issued clearin: that particular reservation.
There is no present probability that the
holders of ranges in the Cherokee strip will
he interfered with previous to the session of
Congress. This information is given out
at the Interior Department, and is confirmed
at the White House.

Service-Its Freedom From Fraud.
WASHINGTON, August S.-JOSeph 5. Mil
Ter. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, has

for and the money covered into the treasury
of the United States The cost of collecting
he internal revenue for the fiSc al year ended

so per cent. OF the amoInt collected and
5000 900 less than the cost for the year 1854.
The reduction was chiefly in salaries and the
expenses Of collection agents and subordinate
officers, amounting TO 1856, 0c0, and stamps
aud papers. to SS5, 900. 1 he reduction results
from the consolidation of the 126 districts
into eighty-fve, and from the reduction
in the number and, in some instances, in
the rate of the pay of storekeeperS and
gaugers, growing out of the reduced num-
Der Of distilleries in operation. Grstihca-
lion is expressed at the efficiency of the
service and its freedom from fraud. APP
pended to the report is statement of the
receipts from the several objects of inter
nal taxation in the United States during the
fiscal years ended June so, 1884 and 1885,

A DISPATCH from Washington saws:
The responses to Secretary Manning's
circular inviting expressions of opinion
on the tariff are coming in by every
mail. All of the States are represented,
but New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
yania, Ohio and Illinois make the most
voluminous showing. There is some
good reading for such a well-worn and
dry topic. For example, "A lifelong
Democrat" in Florida spreads his views
over five pages of foolscap. He ig-
nores capital letters and inserts Just
five punctuation marks in the whole
screed. He apologies for his ortho-
graphical delinquencies, and tells the
Secretary that his Glove for his coun-
try alone inspired him to write. He
illustrates his argument by a SUPPOSE
tious case of putting tariff on mus
keter bars"

The famous Panama hats are al

The famous Panama hats are all
made in Guayaquil. Ecuador, and get
their name because Panama merchants
formerly controlled the trade. They
are made of the pita fiber, a sort of
palm, and are braided under water by
native women of strands often twelve
and fifteen feet long. and fine ones are
very expensive. 1t often takes two or
three weeks to braid a single hat, which
sells for FIVE or six dollars and lasts for
ever. A traveller speaks of one made
of Il single straw or fiber, as fine as
thread and soft as silk. The woman who
made it was engaged four months il
the work, and it was valued at two

Beck was in command of regulars. He
commanded his company to positions, Com
pany 4 on the right and Company Z on the
left of the hearse. The colOred men were
at the brides of the twenty-fOur black
horses. Sixteen men of Meade Post,
of Philadelphia, of which Grant was a
member, were directly in front. The Da-
vid's Island band preceded them. The signal
was given and the line of coaches with the
clergy moved off the plaza on to Broadway.
