The CattIemen Must Go.

The delegation of cattlemeu aud
lease-hOlders, interested in securing an
extension OF the time for evacualing In
dian Territory, were introduced to the
President yesterday afternoon by SEN
ator Cockcrell Several addresses were
made reviewing the difficulties and
hardships aud pecuniary losses result
ing from an enforced move at this season
on short notice. The President, in re-
plying, said the matter was one in
which private interests and the inter-
ests Of capitalists and corporations were
opposed to public interests of the
gravest kind, to good government, to
fair treatment aud proper discipline and
control Of the Indians and to the safety
and peace OF the settlers OF great re-
gion OF country. The highest authority
on military and Indian affairs reported
that this occupancy OF Indian Territory
was the cause OF trouble and dissenton,
constantly threatening outbreaks, men
aclng settlements aud requiring the
service and vigilance of the entire army.
Under this state of affairs any modill.
cation OF the recent proclamation was
entirely out Of the question. The Presi-
dent added that there is no limits to
energy and ingenuity, and he believed
his order could, and was resolved that
1t should, be complied with. Some loss
and Inconvenience were inevitable, but
the Government would aid in prevent
ing unnecessary hardship. Twelve
precious days have already been wasted,
and lie cautioned the cattlcmcn that
there Is not another hour to spare.

A club for Ladies'.

1t Is interesting to know that club
for ladies has Just been organized in
this city, says the Ney York Critic. A
hou will be rented and furnished in the
autumn. aud as soon thereafter as possi-
BILE the club will be thrown open to men,
bers. A capable staff OF servants Is to
be maintained, and tea, coffee and such
other light refreshments as the House
Committee may decide upon. will be
served to the ladies when called for.
The best home ard foreign periodicals
and papers will be taken and placed In
a room to be used exclusively as read
ing room. There will be reception
room also, in which members may meet
non. members. Tho club house Is to be
open daily from A. NJ. top. nj. Each
member pays an entrance fee OF $50,
and an annual subscription OF the same
amount the latter payable In advance
on the 1st day OF December in each year.
The board of Governors is to consist OF
twenty.one members, seventeen Of
whom have already been elected, Mrs.
f. r. Rives, President; Mrs. VIM.
Astor, Vice. President and Miss Matilda
Travers, Secretary. The number of resi-
dent members of the club is not to ex
ceed 300, but the Board of Governors
will have the power by all Affirmative
vote of not less than eleven OF its men,
bers, to increase the number to 800.
Two noteworthy points of Inference be-
tween the new club and the well estab
lished SOrosis are UD that the latter is
largely a literary organization, while
the former is, IL we understand its aim
correctly, purely social one, and (2)
that Sorosis, though it has name, yet
lacks local habitatiOD, while the new

About Widnight last night some pass'
ing citizens discovered flames in the
second story of the rear portion OF the
Perry building, corner of Ninth street
and the Avenue. A cry OF "Fire y was
raised, but there was few moments
delay in the arrival Of the police on ac-
count of their being in the act OF being
relieved. Private Middleton arrived
first. and sent out an alarm from the
box at Ninth and ID streets. The lire
department responded in rapid time,
and found tue flames leapng from the
windows. The fire was confined to the
rear of the building, occupied by w. A.
Yates s. Co., dry goods and notion
dealers. The fire threatened to be a
serious one for awhile. The watchman
in Mr.. Perry's store was asleep when
the file occurred, and cut his leg seri-
ously in getting out of a broken glass
door. Mr.. Perry, who carries large
stock of fine silks and other fabrics, lost
only slightly from water and smoke.
Yates 81 Co. lost about $500; Danen
berg, in the third story, about 81, 900 In
samples of teas and coiiees.

ONE YEAR AGO.


Last year, under the chestnut trees,
Under the chestnuts white,
Two of us walked, two of us talked
Would II were so tonight.
Two were the voices, tremulous, sweet;
TWO were the heads, bent low;
Two were tho hands, together clasped,
One white as the fiower-snow.
Two were the hearts that together beat,
Two were the hearts, yet one;
Two were the figures that, interlaced,
Strolled meath those trees In the sun.
Those trees, those leaf-laden, Demonstrating
trees,
That glorious sun of Junel
Now they strike the golden chords of my soul
Sound sweet on II loves own tune
All, leaves, ye fall and grow green again,
Nor mourn for the spring-time fied;
All, trees, ye bloom in another June,
But the life OF my life is dead.

SOAR as heard from there have been
but two Southern newspapers as yet
that have spoken unkindly Of General
Grant. AS arule the press and people
Of the South have had nothing but
praise for the dead, and sentiments OF
brotherly goodwill for the people OF
the North in this aflllction. Here and

callous and cranky enough to make

Southern papers mentioned, they are

AFTER their interview with the Presi-
dent yesterday afternoon the gentlemen
representing the cattle companies that
have been ordered off the Indian rcser-
vations took their departure, possibly
saddcr and undoubtedly wiser men.
The Presidents original notice was to
move out in forty days. The Western
delegations came on to get an extension
OF the time to two or three months, or
next spring. Mr.. Cleveland told them
that no argument they could offer would
induce him to modify his proclamation,
OF even by indrectiOn to disregard the
law relating to Indian leases. This was
final, and nothing now remains to be
done but to obey the order. In the
light OF the opinion recently given upon
the subject by Attorney. General Gar
land, showing that the Indians were de-
barred from leasing, rs well as from
selling, their lands without authority
of Congress, and in the further light OF
the circumstantial and intelligent in
formation impaired by General Sheri-
dan there can be no doubt as to the
wisdom or justice of the Presidents ac-
ton. The execution OF the order will
very likely occasion the cattle compa-
nes some Inconvenience and expense,
but not to the magnlied extent that
has been represented. They have al
ready wasted twelve Of the forty days
in dancing what they had every reason
to know would be an unayailing attend.
ance upon the Government, and this
OF itself shows that the element Of time
is not SO all-important to the protection
OF their interests as they would have
the country believe. The officer at
Fort Reno who said the other day that
If the price of beef should take sudden
rise at st. Louis the cattle could all be
cleared out OF the Territory in week,
is in all probability correct in his asser-
ton.

STATIONS of popular sympathy and
grief Guns were fired at intervals,
waking the solemn echoes; houses all
along the line of the road were draped
in mourning, and silent crowds, with
heads uncovered, gathered at every

THE Boston journal charges the
Postmaster-General with Overriding"
tue action of Congress in the matter Of
the appropriation of $400, 600 made last
winter for distribution among the
American steamship lines. Colonel
Villas is simply doing the best he can,
as business man, to relieve himself
and the Department OF an eubarrass-
ment with which Congress ought never
to have handicapped him, and he
considers that his first duty in the
premises is to the Government instead
of the steamship companies. Had the
appropriation been OF an amount ade-
quate to its proposed purpose, voted
and declared to be in the nature of n
subsidy, there would have been no diff.
Guilty In placing it where it would have
done the most good; and The CRITIC
is not so squeamish upon this point us to
believe that money thus given may not
sometimes be wisely given. But in the
present instance, with a sum at his dis
posal too paltry to be Of service OH any
fair basis of distribution, yet in the ag.
gregate too large to be thrown away,
the Postmastcr-Gcneral assumed the
only alternative left him as an honest
official Of saving the 100000 and
making the best terms possible or nc
terms at all with the dsgruntled steam
ships. II this be Overriding the action
OF Congress" 30 be it. The next Con.
gress will sustain him in it, and the
country at large will not be slow to see
the political demagogues TO the con
trary, that the man to whom tho
