A Horrible Find.

PrrTsBURG May This evening the
baggagemaster at the union depot, upon
bursting open a trunk which gave out a
suspicious odor, was Mortified to find
therein the body of a man securely
bound and in an advanced state of de-
composition. The face was badly dis
colored and bloated, and the stencil was
SO gieat that it kept at a safe distance the
large crowd which had quickly gathered.
The trunk was a common wooden one,
and evidently had not been in use before.
1t arrived from Chicago over the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne & Chicago railroad
at G O'Clock on the morning express, and
was checked 4, III, but no person called
to claim it. The baggagemaster noticed
a peculiar smell when it was unloadcd
from the train this morning, but no at
tention was paid to it until this evening,
when the stencil became unbearable.
There were no marks of violence. The
body was that of a laboring man about 80
years OF age, short build and smooth face.
He was dressed in a pair of checked
pants, blue cotton shirt, blue wooden
stockings, and had on his feet a pair of
new congress CATERS.

PANAMA, May All is quiet here.
The town has been in charge of the ma
tional troops since l p. IN. yesterday.
During the armistice of forty-eight hours,
many, and probably the greater portion
of the rebels escaped, taking with them
their arms, The health of the naval
force is very good. The first battalion is
at Panama, the second at Colon. Artil-
lery with Calling guns are stationed along
the line at Matachin, San Pablo and
other places. Admiral Jouett has gone
to Colon and has ordered the extra forces
to return to their stations. The contin-
gents from the Pacific and North 1T
lantie fleets have returned to their ships.
The second battalion will probably return
to their steamer on May g.. The conduct
of the United States has been exemplary.
Three deaths have occurred during
their stay here. Thos. Brennan, a FIRE
man on the Alliance, was shot in the left
leg on the afternoon of April 27, by Pri-
vate Murray, Of the second battalion, and
died on the 29th. Brennan was drunk
and violent, and assaulted Murray with a
knife. On the same night Private David
Erwin, Of Capt Cochran's company, was
shot by a sentinel, James McCauley,
while trying to run the lines. Angus
Flemming, a seaman apprentice, died
from fever in St. Thomas hospital on
April 30. A detachment of the first bat
talon, under Lieut.. Haywood, expect to
remain at Panama until peace and good
government is restored. The last de-
tachments of blue jackets left Panama
this afternoon. Among over 1000 men
there has been only one case OF %intoxica
ton.

parting he called upon Indian Commits
sioner Atkins, and asked him if q decision
had been made yet in regard to DR.. Nc

kins, and be a good Indian, and we will

be done
Yes grunted old Red Cloud, that
was just what the other commissioner
said, and we didn't get a new agent"
Red Cloud said he wanted to take a
flag home with him. Mr.. Atkins in
structed DR.. McGillicuddy to buy him a
flag, and told Red Cloud that he hoped he
would take it to his people and that it
would be a guaranty that the Indians
would behave themselves and obey the
agent.

OF Interest % stook shippers.

CHICAGO, May THE bill before the
illinois legislature regarding the charges
in the stock yards in this state, passed to
a third reading in the house yesterday by
a vote Of SO to 10. This is the fourth
time the bill has been before the legisla-
ture. Shonld the act become a law, it
would entirely rcvolutionize the manner
of doing business in the various stock
yards in the state. The bill fixes the
rates for yardage at fifteen cents per head
for horses, mules and cattle. five cents for
hogs, and four for sheep. This is a re-
duction Of ten cents ON horses, cattle and
mules, three on sheep and four on hogs;
and it is made unlawful to charge for feed
more han so per cent in excess of the
usual market prices, that is if corn is forty
cents a bushel in the market, sixty cents
will be the charge for feed at the stock
yards and if hay is $40 a ton the yard
company will be allowed to charge SIS.
The section relating to dead animals is one
of the most important, and should it re-
main as passed in the house would de-
stroy the business of the rendering com
panies. According to the ruling of the
Chicago stock yard company a rendering
company had a monopoly of the dead ami
NAL trade, paid such prices as they
and regulated the trade to suit
themselves. In case the bill becomes a
law, the traffic on dead animals will be as
open as any other. The reduction in
and feed, as proposed, is equal to
about 40 per cent as compared with the
schedule.

The Rel Rebellion.

WINNIPEG, May lien. Laurie tele-
graphed to the Hudson Bay company
from Saskatchewan landing, that the
water in the South Saskatchewan had
risen fifteen inches since yesterday. He
was in hopes hat the Northcote had got
off. The steamer Minnow went down
from the landing yesterday. She will
first take the surgeons from the North
cote to Clarke's crossing. Lumber has
been taken out to the landing to build
barges, which will be rowed down to the
Northcote by some Of the troops, and by
this means it is hoped that urgent wants
may be relieved. Gen. Laurie believes
that means Of transportation by way Of
the river can be devised, Notwithstanding
the difficulties in the way.
A Hudson Bay factor, Mcdonald, re-
ports the excitement quoting down at
Fort Qu-Appelle, and believes there is no
danger. The Hudson Bay company have
had advices from Prince Albert that all
is well at that point, though provisions
are growing somewhat scarce and relief is

Requested to Resign.

WASHINGTON, May Attorney Gen
eral Garland has decided to bring Aleck
Botkin's tenure of the Montana marshal
ship to an end. He has notified him that
his resignation will be accepted, and that
if he does not resign he will be dismissed.
MI. Garland also told Mr.. Botkin that he
had examined the charges for which
President Arthur had removed him, and
they would be held sufficient to cause his
dismissal. As n member of the senate
judiciary committee he had been able to
become thoroughly advised of his admin
istration of the office of marshal, and he
was satisfied that the charges made by
Governor Crosby were true. Who will
succeed Botkin cannot be told. Kelly, of
Deer Lodge, is supposed to be in the
lead. 1t is understood here that Botkin
is glad of the chance to resign. Ex-Sen-
ator Cameron is credited with having said
as much to Mr.. Garland.

DAGGETT's ASPIRATIONS.

A grapevine telegram from Washing,
ron City brings the news thai Hon. Rol.
lin Mallory Daggett has disclosed to
President Cleveland and his Cabinet
the weighty matters which were com.
mitled 10 his charge by King Kallakaua
upon the departure of the ex United
SAFES Minister from the dominion of
His Dusky Majesty. 1t is briefly a
proposition for the absolute annexation
Of the Hawaiian Kingdom to the United
States upon the condition of It's being
admitted to the Union on an equal foot
ing with the original States, as Texas
was in 1876. This may to some extent
explain Mr.. Daggett's apparent indltfer-
ence to the standing OF the Senatorial
contest in this Stale, for II his present
negotiations should succeed he would
have no difficulty in securing from the
grateful new State OF Hawaii anything
that he should ask. The present King
would probably be his colleague. The
new State would be entitled to three
members in the lower house in Congress.
