The Indians.

WASHINGTON, December 3o.-The Star
says that, in his report upon the work
of the special Indian committee, who
visited the various Indian reservations
during the summer recess, Holman Is
going to recommend the appointment
of commissioner to take the matter
In charge, giving land in severalty to
such Of the Indians as are far enough
advanced in civilization to warrant
such action. and assembling the rest in
one locality as far as practicable. At
present, he says the reservations are
scattered al over the country and their
lands are useless to the Indians in
many cases. Some of these lands
should be sold in their interest, and
such of the Ind ans as are friendly
should be put upon some reservation
IN certain cases, and kept there until,
ultimately, they have reached Estate or
civilization that would warrant their
having lands in severalty, and becom
ing citizens. There are some cases
where it would not do to move the In
dams from their present locality, or to
interfere with them, as their attach
ment TO their homes is very strong. In
most of such cases, land in seVeralty
should be given them.

An Advance of wages.

PITTsBURG, December 30.-An offer of
10 per cent. advance in wages to take
effect next Monday has been made by
Carnegie Bros. & Co., to their en-
ployes at the Edgar Thompson steel
works, at Braddock, Ia. The wages Of
the steel rail workers, as ha been men
toned, is arranged on the first of each
year. During the past TWO weeks
the men have been holding meet
ings and talking over the condi-
tiOns of trade. 1t was decided to ask
for an advance of Is per cent. This
afternoon, a notice was circulated
through B-addock, requesting all the
employees of the Edgar Thompson
steel works to keep away from the
company's office On Wednesday, De-
cember 30th, 1885, and not sign any con-
tract with the officers of the
aboVe-named company, until they
gave a fair equivalent for their
work. 1t was signed employees.
This was soon followed by a notice
posted at the mill, informing the
employees that the scales were ready
for signing and that that the places
of persons refusing to sign by Saturday
would be filed. 1t is quite probable
that the Company's proposition will be
accepted. About 1900 men are en-
ployed.

A Tough Tale.

PORTLAND, Ogn., December 3d.
Oregonian's Seattle, w. T., special: A
horrible story put in circulation here
to-day was 10 this effect: An Italian
boatman left Victoria one day last
summer with seven Chinaman, for the
American side of the straits of Tuca.
When almost across, he saw the United
States cutter 0Ltver WoLcott, coming to-
wards him, with the evident intention
of examining his craft. He became
alarmed, and to avoid the penalties
attaching to the offense of SNUG
Cling Cinnamon into the United
States, he resolved to make away
with the evidence of his guilt.
He called the Cinnamon out of
the cabin one by one, and as they came,
he struck them on the head with a club
and pitched them overheard. In this
way he got rid of the whole number,
and when boarded from the cutter no
evidence whatever of a eliminating ma
ture was found. An investigation will
be made with view to ascertaining the
truth or falsity of the story. a recently
convicted smuggler. now in the United
States penitentiarY, tells this story.

Dastardly Destruction.

DENVER, Col, December 3O.-This
morning, at 3 O'Clock, three masked
men entered the engine room of the
Marshal Coal Company's works. at
Erie, on the Colorado Central Railroad,
forty miles from Denver, captured the
engineer, took him several hundred
yards away, tied him, then returned
and set fire to all the coal on the
dumps, the hosting works, engine
house, tramWay. Several cars of
the railroad company were COM
pletely destroyed. Over $4,000
worth of property was demolished, and
several hundred men were thrown out
of employment. Three weeks ago, the
wages IN these mines were cut down,
when the Knights of Labor ordered
strike. The miners, rather that be
without work at this time of the year,
refused to obey and continued working.
and this mornings outrage is supposed
10 be another outcropping of the Rock
Springs trouble, and instigated by the
Knights of Labor.

mates of the statistics in the Depart
ment of Agriculture for the principal
cereal crops of the year are computed,

lows: In round millions, corn 1885,
wheat 357, oats 500. The area of corn
Is 1900, goo acres. wheat $4,000 900.
oats 35,OO0,000. The value Of corn
averages nearly 80 cents per bushel and
makes an aggregate OF $685., 600, 900,

The First Recep

WASHINGTON, December 30. : Four
hundred and fOrty-eight persons were
waiting patiently in the East room of
the White House, to-day, to pay their
respects to the President The crowd
was almost twice as large as at any pre-
ceding reception of this kind. The
President appeared just before 2 O'Clock
and entered upon his task with such
expedition that the entire room was
cleared in sixteen minutes. Several
persons tried to engage the Presidents
attention with private matters. bnt they
were told to call again tomorrow. One
individual shook hands in an agitated
manner with one OF the ushers and
passed the President without noticing
him. He was reminded OF his mistake
by the laughter of the crowd, and he
endeayored to return and shake the
Presidents hand, but was borne away
by the rapidly moving line of people
behind him.

McMURRIN,s DISAPPEARANCE
Surmises and RumOrs Regarding
the Cause of His Flight.

The disappearance of Joseph Nc
Murrin created almost as much com
ment on the street yesterday as the vim
dictive sentence imposed upon B. Y.
Hampton. There we're, of course. two
conflicting views, many who had been
previously inclined to defend the young
man, shaking their heads and stating
that the fight was an admission of
guilt, and others strenuously affirming
that he had done wisely In disappearing,
as the Hampton case clearly showed
that there was no such thing as justice
in the courts for Mormon. Had he
appeared as q witness against Colin"
said one of McMurrin'S friends, "he
would himself have been arrested
on charge of assault with
intent to murder before he got out of
the court room. Whatever mis- motive
was : the, Collin row, Judge Zane
wOulu have given him the full penalty.

the face, who can blame him Tor 'slOp-

porter that McMurrin was in a very
dangerous condition. Il called on him
Monday at nOon," he SAID, land found
him worse than he had been for some
time. He told me he had been suffering
from cramps in the stomach, and had

with a cramp in his stomach. He felt
somewhat nervous about it. as DIR.
Benedict had told him that was the
only thing he now had to fear. On
Monday morning, when last saw him,
he was feeling somewhat better, but
knew nothing of his intended departure,
and l know nothing of where he
has gone. He must have left Monday
night. As to the causes of his going,
they are not difficult to surmise. He
knew there was no Justice for him in
the courts, and he preferred to retire. F"
1t is also said by others that he merely
intends to remain quiet until he has
thoroughly recovered, believing that
Judge Zane would send him to prison
even in his present condition. Captain
Greenmah and a deputy made q
search of McMurrm' S house on Tuesday
night; the captain stated to DR.. Bene-
dict that he knew with whom McMur
rim had gone, but that was all.
