complaints are chiefly against the cattl
companies which, he asserts, have fenced il
much OF the best hunting lands and force,
the Iodians to tramp over the plains il
search of game. He claims that the pay
ments made to the Cheyennes and Arrapa
hoes are no. fairly divided, and that the cattl
turned to the Indians and are brande.
to denote their owners. The cattle, he says
are gobbled by the bigger chiefs to the ex

1t is understood that Mr.. Kelly, the re-
Gently appointed Unite States minister to
Austria, whose appointment has occasioned
considerable comment, will not be recalled.
He will 60 to Vienna and should the
Austrian government refuse to receive him,
it is intimated that the United States gov
eminent will remain unrepresented at the
Vienna court. It is held that Mr.. Kelly is
q capable man and in every wey fitted to fill
the positions which he has been assigned
He was endorsed by the entire COMPRESSION
al delegation OF Virginia, and was confirm
ed by the senate. The Italian government,
it is understood, made inquiry of this gov
erDment whether or not Mr.. Kelly had
given usterance in a political speech in 1871
to sentiments in opposition to the occupa.
ton of Rome by Victor Emmanuel. The
former government afterwards, it is said,
protested against his appointment and Mr..
Kelly resigned his commission. It is held
that the Au strian government has no ground
to complain of Mr.. Kielly's present appoint
ment The question has been raised
whether or not it was uncomplimentary
to Austria to send Mr.. Kelly to Vienna after
he had been rejected by Italy. 1t is assert
ed that the appointment was not uncompli-
mentary, and the case of Mr.. Kasson, who
was nominated for the Spanish mission and
was objected to by Spain, but afterwards
was sent to Austria, where he was received,
is cited In support of the statement that no
disrespect was offered to Austria by send
ing Mr.. Kassor there, as for some years
subse auently, and until a very recent date,
Mr.. Kasson served as United States minis
ter at Berlin.
VIM. Calhoun, the accountant of New
York, who was selected by secretary of the
navy, Whitney, to investigate the system
of keeping books in the navy department,
has made preliminary report, and has
an entire change Of system;
He favors the adoption of thesystem used
in the English navy department.. MI.
Calhoun says the investigation now in
progress will not be completed for some
months. The preliminary report is quite
long. He says that under the existing
methods in the navy department, each
bureau keeps its own set of books; that
there is no uniform system among the bU
reaus, some being kept in double and some
in single entry, and that none of them
warrant any great praise. He sums il
up in these words: ITO say that
it is defective and not at all COM
mensurate with the req airements of the de.
partment. but family expresses my view of
it." He goes on to say that under the sys-
tenn in vogue tits extremely difficult to get
any information about any special item of
and cites matters concerning
which it would require days, weeks or
to elicit the facts-such as the sums
already spent on certain cruisers and how the
accounts ofthis or that contractor stands.
BE adds: "At present no intelligent sys-
EN- of accounts Is in existence at the navy
department., and no responsibility exists
anywhere for the bookkeeping done in the
department.. I recommend the total aboli-
ion Of the sysem of account keeping now
n the various bureaus. In place of the
present system, or rather want of system,
the establish ment of a bureau of
which bureau shall keep q full
md detailed record of every receipt and
of money pertaining to the
