WASHINGTON, December 6.-The message

10000 words. 1t deals at length with all
gives very positive expression to his view
concerning civil service reform, and insists
on it being carried out in the public SER
vice. He thinks it as yet an experiment;
where experience is constantly suggesting
improvements. In the matter of tar
iff revision he deprecates such sweep
ing action as might cripple the ma
tional industries, but favors an equalization
and such reductions as the question OF
question he reaffirms the views he ak.
pressed at the time the unlimited coinage
men of Congress addressed him their letter.
He favors either an immediate suspension
Of coinage or giving discretion to the Presi-
dent to suspend it when in his Judgment
the public interest demands it. Upon the
Indian question tho President occupies
about the position of Commissioner At
kits He favors liberal attempts to render
the Indians self-supporting, and bring them
of the law, like other citizens. He takes de.
cided ground on the Norman question, and
favors vigorous measures for the extinction
of that evil. He insists upon the Chinese
receiving the full protection of the law. In
the matter of internal revenue, he suggests
that changes might be made which will
make the law less annoying 1t is said that he
favOrs considerable reduction of taxation.
All the subject NAMED above are treated at
length and in very positive terms. In call.
ing attic ntion to the death of the Vice Pres

commend legislation ON the subject of the
succession. He also sets forth the necessity
of providing more definite legislation gov.
erning the counting of the Electoral votes.
His position in regard to a new navy, coast
defense and internal improvements have
that he viii recommend a very liberal
purse in all these matters. The Presi-
dent devotes considerable space to the ag-
%ricultural interests of the country, and
urges Congress to do all in its power to aid
in their development. 1t is not expected

One Bat cry of Artillery Ordered to Fort

Depa tment.
WASHINGTON, December 6.-The Wal De-
partment has recently received such re-
ports from its officials in Utah regarding
the very unsettled condition of affairs in
that Territory, growing out of the en-
forcement of the laws against polygamy,
as to cause some .uneasiness, but no
alarm. The recent shooting Of a Nor
mon by a q. s. Marshal created a great
deal of excitement among the Mormons,
and some apprehension was felt at Salt
Lake that there would be an uprising
among them. A battery of artillery was
recently ordered from Omaha to Fort
Douglass, which is situated q few miles
from Salt Lake City. This m-vement,
however, was not particularly on
account of any. fear of a
Mormon rebellion, bit had been in
contemplation for some time. The force
now at Fort Douglass consists of a full reg
ment of infantry and a battery of artillery,
and is under command of General McCook.
In the event of trouble in Utah all the
troops in the Department of the Platte,
consisting of about 5000 men, could be con-
:entrated at Fort Douglass in a very few
nours. No serious trouble, however, is ap-
pretended by army officials.

cHIoNETo SHIP RAILWAY.

A Plan to Connect the Bay of Fundy
with the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
A ship canal was some years ago pro-
posed to connect the Bay of Fundy with
the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
but abandoned as impracticable. In
1874 Mr.. G. C. Ketchum, an English
engineer, made plans for a ship railway,
and surveys have since been made and
a company organized to construct the
line. under a contract with the Dominion
Government to guarantee a net revenue
of $780, 600 a year, or five per cent. on
the estimated cost for twenty years.
The length of the railway will be seven
teen and one-half miles, of which thir-
teen are forest, now being cleared for
the beginning of construction in the
spring Of 1886. The maximum load to
be hauled is 1000 gross tons. The YES
sells are to be lifted by hydraulic lifts
about forty-two feet. The track will
have four rails, no pounds to the yard.
Owing to the immense tides in the Bay
of Fundy, and to climatic conditions,
this railway will be more difficult to
maintain than one across Florida or on
the Isthmus of Tehauntepec. By the
Chigneto ship railway a dangerous and
tedious trip of six hundred miles will be
saved to the commerce of the St. Law
renee to and from St. Johns, Portland,
Boston and intermediate ports.-St.

Bio Fire at Indian tpoIis.

INDIANAPoLIs, December Gone of the
largest fires that has visited Indianapolis
in years occurred at 2 O'Clock this after
noon, entirely destroying the linseed oil
mandatory of j. P. Evan q Co., the only
industry of the kind in the city. The mills
contained about 1901 600 bushels of flaxseed,
5000 gallons Of oil and a considerable
quantity of oil cake. A stiff ureeze was
blowing from the west, causing the fire to
burn with great fierceness, and for a time
there was great danger of the flames spread
ing to adjoining property, in which
event a great conflagration would ha We
followed. By hard and skillful work on
the part of the firemen, several of whom
were slightly injured, the flames were con-
ined to the building in which they origi-
mated. The building contained all the ma
chinery used in manufacturing linseed oil.
The building, valued at $4,000, was totally
destroyed. The machinery, worth $1,000,
S damaged to the extent of $4,000, and the
flaxseed is nearly a total loss, making the
entire loss not less than $4,000. The in
surance aggregates S102, 500.

How Can the Destruction and Extinct
of American Game Be Prevented?

How Can the Destruction and Extinction
of American Game Be Prevented?
Mr.. Ernest Ingersoll, in a paper just
published by the American Geograph-
ical Society, makes a startling record
of the extinction of wild animals from
this continent by the settlement of the
country. Much of this lamentable de-
crease of animal life was unavoidable.
But MI. Ingersoll does well to descant
upon the ruthless waste of one of our
most valuable Only twenty
five years ago the great plains were
covered with buffaloes, and MI. lnger-
soil says: II myself have seen steam
boats halted on the Upper Missouri by
swimming bands of these finest OF wild
cattle" But the extension of the Pacific
railways has been made the occasion
of a needless determination of t. n.
The elk, moose and deer have ST Ii ed
a similar fate, until now it is said tnat
the elk, which eight yeas ago re
seen in thousands on the aims of the
Sweetwater and in the Wind River
Mountains, have practically been div
en- to their last refuge in the Sout-ern
Rocky Mountain plateau.
Mr. Ingersoll shows that this baleful
disturbance m the natural order of ami
NAL life is not limited to the land alone.
Seals, which once disported in the At
lantic surf along this coast southwark
to Cape May, have retired to the New
foundland or Labrador coast. The
habitat of the oyster on our Atlantic
coast has seriously decreased. The
feathered tribes, especially the prairie
chicken, the wild turkey, ducks and
all game birds, have been sadly de-
pleted, and still the slaughter goes on
almost unchecked
Mr.. Ingersoll suggests that an arrest
might be put upon this uncalled-for
destruction by making and enforcing
"a law which should permit so-called
sport to be INDUCED only by a selected
few who had proved their capacity for
common sense and self-restraint.'
