| good faith improved them, as provided by
! the land laws of the United States. and
| they feel that to now be diSpoS-
sessed would be great hardship for
which the government could hardly make
any reparatiOn. Petitions and remOnStranceS
have been made to the president, in which it
was shown as against the 100 acres that an
| old soldier settler could secure by hard
work, idle Indians are entitled to 800 each
and they make absolutely no use of the
| land whatever A rebellious spirit will be
aroused when the order becomes generally

! enough to predict that the proclamation will
be enforced, but nobody believes that it can
| be carried out without disturbance of the
peace.
AT CANNING.
| Special to the Globe.
| CANNING, Oak, April 1.-THE news of
! President Cleveland's proclamation will
| create CONSERVATION here when it shall have
been promulgated. Some Of the settlers
have begun seeding, and every cent they
! have is invested in improvements, and how
they are to live is a problem difficult of solu-
ton. Exorbitant rates were paid for lum-
ber for shacks, as much as SIS per day was
paid for teams for transportation of the
same, and but little left for supplies for the
support Of the families of settlers. The
| popular view of the situation here is that no.
| body would have suffered had the other Or
der been allowed to remain in force. They
| feel that it would have been far more equi-
table had the Indians been compensated on
their own terms for the lands than to dis
possess the settlers in so summary a man
| ner.
AT PIERRE.
Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, Dak., April lit is too late
tonight to get anything like an individual
expression OF opinion as to the proclama-
tion of President Cleveland vacating the
Arthur order, but the probabilities have
been discussed and the feeling will be un-
| iversal that great hardship has been done in
directing the disposSeSSiOn of the settlers.
| Quite number of Pierre people are inter-
ested personally or in their friends in this
matter, and will feel keenly the embarrass-
ment that confrOnts them. Of course, it is
| folly to talk of resisting the federal author
ity, but the feeling will be intense. 1t is
| believed here that some measures will be
taken for the relief of the settlers, but it is
feared that they will be tardily taken and
that great suffering must necessarily ensue.
AT HURON.
Special to the Globe.
HURON, OAK, April 17.-The sentiment
here over the reported presidents proclama-
ton cannot be ascertained in detail to-
night, but it will not be source of much
surprise to those who have kept posted.
The attorney generals opinion left nothing
| for the president to do but annul the Ar
thur order. But the suffering it will entail
will be none the less severe and the feeling
will be none the less marked and outspoken
when the news gains general circulation on
the reservation and throughout that section
Of Dakota. The government will certainly
provide for the people it forces from their

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Even in their
last effort on behalf of Phil Thompson, the
Kentuckians find they must fight every inch
of the ground, for the friends of Gen. Nc
Clellan are urging him for the Chinese mis-
sion. Secretary Bayard denies the story
that he has been endeavoring to force Geo.
Williams to resign the Office of minister to
Hayti, to which he was appointed by Pres
ident Arthur on the Sd of March. He says
Mr. Williams nomination to office is in the
hands of the senate committee, and that he
has nothing whatever to do with it. He
also denies that Williams was discourte-
ously treated at the state department.

1t was expected that after paying the OUT

General Burke has used every argument ne

congress in the appropriation. 1t is likely
that complication will arise in regard to
the additional appropriation OF $40, OGo
made for the women's department or the
exposition, which is claimed both by the
managers of the exposition and by the
ladies having direct control of the depart
ment in question. 1t is likely therefore the
attorney general will be called upon to
determine who is entitled to the control OF
this appropriation.

Rumorcd Kick Against Kelley.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April lit is rumored
in diplomatic circles to-day that the Italian
government had protested against the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Kelley as minister to
Rome. on account of his incendiary speech
in 1871 against Victor Emanuel. At the
state department no such protest has been
received and no intimatiOn has been given
that such step is to be taken, but if the
story is true, the department would not
have been likely to have heard
from the matter thus early.
Such protest would be by no
means unprecedented after the appointment
and confirmation of Kasson as minister to
Spain. The Spanish government protested
on account of his advocacy of the republic
of Cuba and he was sent to Austria in
stead of Spain.
There are several similar cases, and it is
supposed that a protest from Italy in this
instance would be respected. The friendly
relations existing between the United States
and Italy. and the well-knOwn desire of
Secretary Bayard to have Kelley received at
Rome, lead many people to doubt that such
a protest has been or will be made.

The Boards OF Surgeons.

Speclal 10 the OiODc.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Commissioner
of Pensions Black contemplates reorgan-
ization of the boards of surgeons through
out the United States for the examination
of applicants for pensions. In all the large
cities Of the country these boards are sta
toned. and are composed of three physi-
clans and surgeons. Under the old admin
istratiOn of affairs the members making up
such boards were appointed because they
were Republicans, and as now consti-
tuted. with probably no exceptions, the
boards are Of such party affilia-
ton. Gen. Black believes in the
doctrine OF minority representation.
It is his purpose, though, in reorganization.
to have boards composed of two Demo-
Gratis and one Republican. Under Repub-
hcan management the pension boards Of ex-
amining surgeons were used for the adj
vantage of the Republican party to the
positive injury Of the pensioner. There
is to be no more OF this, when the con-
tempIated reorganization is completed.
Rigid instructions viii follow to this class
OF public servants to let politics alone and
give strict attention to their business to the
end that the cause Of honest and needy pen
sion applicants viii be advanced.

News from Egypt.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-The news from
Egypt are not of the most satisfactory
character. 1t appears that General
Wolsley had decided to abandon the
attempt to reach Shendy by the desert
route from Korti, thus cutting off the
great bend on the Nile The difficult
les of war, he thinks, are too great to
be surmcunted with the resources at
his command Instead of the desert
route Ae will use the road from Mera
web to Berber, and likewise through
the desert, but it is much shorter than
the other. He has accordingly chang
ed his base from Korti to Meraweh.
This change places the relief of kher-
toum two months further into the
future than was expected. General
Wolsley is far from satisfied with the
arrangements for the expedition.
He has sent furious complaints to the
war office of the iuetficiency and ao-
solute break down of the transport
and commissary services. Although
a good two months has elapsed since
the pioneer corps left Sarass, only tif-
teen hundred of the 1000 men com
prising the full force of the expedition
have reached Korti. The British en-
voys lett K9rti for Kabbabish, and

portions of Wyoming, within the past
two weeks. Southern ranges expert
enced few spells of severe weather
with the thermometer at 10 and ID
degrees below zero, but the snow fall
was comparatively slight. No dam
age has been done to the stock. About
Ft. Laramie, the northeast part of
the territory, FL. Mckinney, and the
northwest part, the weather for nearly
two weeks have been very severe, and
In some places the SNOW is eighteen
inches on the level, making it
impossible for cattle to reach
the grass; hence in those quarters
stock has drifted badly. II is impos-
sible from lack of communication to
get a quick report of the extent of the
damage done So far few reports
of dead cattle have been received from
various quarters, but none to cause
alarm. Stock men here say that ev-
erything is satisfactory so far. The
weather has now moderated through
out the territory, and the snow is rap
idly melting under the warm sun.
There is no real snow blockade along
tie line of the Union Pacific in Wyo-
ming; trains are now running on
time.

Still After Gallagher and Mac ckir

SIll MUST SdIldkIST anu "@C Mil
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-About fifty
prominent citizens met this afternoon
to consult in regard to further prose
cutting tie investigation into the re
cent election frauds in the 18th ward.
Numerous speeches urging the neces-
sity of pushing the inquiry to the
furthest limits were made. A M.
Day, of the citizens sub committee of
five, said that substantial progress
was being made, and that the commit
tee was then at work on an important
clue. Murray Nelson said the thing
necessary was money. He would
subscribe $500, and would pledge the
last dollar he owned, if necessary.
N. E. Stone, editor of the Daily
News, said the committee of five had
evidence that rendered it certain that
Gallagher had forged the tally sheet
and that Gallagher, Mackin and one
other person, who was not known,
had stuffed the ballot box with fraud
ulent ballots. He could could con-
vince any three of those present
if desired, that that statement was
true. Mr. Stone went on to say that
the present county grand jury had
begun investigation of these frauds
for no other purpose, he believed, than
to defeat the ends of justice. The
sum of Sc, 500 was subscribed to push
the investigation.
Resolutions were passed expressing
entire confidence in the sub-commit-
tee of FIVE, thanking it for its work so
far. and pledging its support OF money
and influence for tbs future. 1t was
also decided to retain J. II. Jewell,
