A GREAT TIME.

Citizens of Michigan Gather at Lansing
to Celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary OF
Her Admission Into the Union.
LANSING. Mich, June 16.-Yesterday was
the semi-centennial anniversary of the ad.
mission of this State into the Union. and
An immense crowd gathered here to cele-
brate the occasion in a beftting manner.
The celebration was authorized by the
last Legislature. At sunrise a national
salute was fired, and soon the people be-
gan to arrive on special trains from every
direction. The exercises took place on
the green sward about the capitol.
Tens of thousands had assembled. and at
ten O'Clock the celebration began by the
singing OF hymn by one hundred pupils
OF the public schools of this city. Gov
ernor Alger delivered an address oil
welcome, and he was followed 3y
Hon. o. Z. Grosvenor, Prof. Charles
D. Lanton and several others. Meanwhile
interesting exercises consisting OF music
and speeches by Ex-Governor Felch and
Hon. J. Adams were in progress in the
Senate chamber, while Judge T. NJ. Cooley
and Judge James V. Campbell entertained
a large audience in the House of Repre-
sentatives. At noon a grand rush was
made for the fair grounds where the State
had prepared a barbecue, and the scene
that followed was an interesting one. More
speeches and music followed at two o clock,
and at night there were exercises in the
Senate and Representative chambers, and
at midnight Michigan's semi-centennial
was thing OF the past.

COWARDLY ANARCHISTS.
The First Move Of the Defense in
Their Gases Made.
Tho Chief Conspirators Endeavoring to
Place the Onus ON Others.

CHICAGO, June 1s.-The first move of the
defense in the Anarchist case was made to-
day. An application for aseperate trial for
Spies, Fielden, Schwab and Neebe was
fled with States Attorney Grinnell. The
application is accompanied by affida Wits
of four men, indicating that they, the
leaders, will attempt to save themselves at
the expense of their three companions
Engel. Lingg and Fischer. The
paper sets forth that atlantis are advised
OF the States intention to attempt to prove
their participation in the conspiracy meet
ings of May2 and 8, and their co-opera-
tion in the plans of violence laid and exc
cuted at the Haymarket on the night of
the 4th. A denial of these charges they
are prepared TO prove. They further de-
clare that they are convinced that in q
trial OF such magnitude as will occur
under the indictments, no jury will be ca
pable OF discerning the competency of the
evidence, as affecting themselves and the
other three men. The full significance Of
their statement appears to be that they de
clare they are innocent of the charges but
are afraid of being involved, by confusion,
in the guilt Of the three other men, whom
they thus tacitly convict. For that reason
the atlantis are solicitous of obtaining a
separate trial. Judge Gary viii hear the
petition tomorrow afternoon.

FORTH WORTH, TEX, June 2O.-The Greer
Country Boundary Commission, which
comprises four officers of the United States
Army and four citizens of Texas,
convened in secret session at
Austin on the 18th inst. The ques-
tion under consideration by this Commits
sion is very important one to the people
of Texas, since it involves the ownership OF
snug littleba yard some L. ,628, 900 acres in
area. Each member seems bound by Knight
Of Labor oath to divqlge nothing hin ga,.i.2us Your
announcement that the Commission has
overwhelmingly decided that the Greer
County does not belong to Texas, but
that it is part and parcel of the lands
It is learned quite recently that the
Commission was neariy, ii not quite,
unanimous in their conclusion, but no
official announcement can be made un-
til the report of the Federal branch
of the Commission has been submitted to
the Secretary of War and by him approved
Greer County for years has been by many
Texans considered part and parcel of the
Lone Star State, but well informed mem.
Der Of the Commission is authority for the
statement that there never was the small
est grounds for this presumption on
the part of Texas. It is certain that
the State of Texas made a big mis-
take when it presumed to give pat
ents for land it never had the shadow of
q legal claim to. Something over half q
million acres of fine grazing land in Greer
County are now located upon by veteran
land certificates issued by the State of
Texas. The finding of the commission null
lilies these certificates of pre-emption, and
the parties holding them will be compelled
to vacate them. The prospects are that
veteran land certificates can be bought
pretty cheap in a few weeks.

A CITY IN RUINS.
Awful Work of q Volcano and an Accompa
nying Earthquake at the Capital
nj

of Nicaragua.
NEW YORK, June 17.-An Albany dis
patch to the Sun says: 'Mr. John Hotch-
kiss, a prominent manufacturer of Birm-
ingham, England, arrived here yesterday
from Realjo, Nicaragua. He says that the
day before ne sailed (May 22) there was q
terrific eruption from the Volcano Momom-
tombo. Telegraphic information was re-
ceived at Realjo on the 23d to the effect
that the city of Managua, the capital of
the country, had been practically destroyed
by the violent earthquakes which accompa-
MED the eruption. The earth upon which
ter the convulsion began, three feet below
its former lev. l.. All buildings of any con-
siderable value were completely wrecked.
1t was reported that there was great loss Of
life. 'Telegraphic intelligence from a town
at the terminus of a railroad forty miles
from Realjo was even more startling That
place was being fast buried beneath hot vol
canic ashes, and many lives had been lost.
In response to the appeal for help from the
survivors, a train was made up at Reaijo
and sent out about two hours before the
Pacific Mail steamer left the port. The
situation in Realjo began to grow somewhat
threatening, and the departure of the
steamer was somewhat hastened on that
account. The sky became dark and of q
strange gray tint, and fine volcanic ashes
began to fall, and the atmosphere became
oppressive and breathing painful. Mr.
Hotchkiss says the fall of ashes increased
as the ship left the harbor, and they con-
tinued to sift down upon the decks until the
vessel was fully forty miles out. Over the
interior of the country toward the volcano
there appeared to hang dense dark
cloud. The decks of the ship received a
coating about half an inch deep of the vol
canic ashes before getting beyond reach Of
the shower. Mr.. Hotchkiss brought with
him specimen. The ashes are dry gray
dust or powder. There was great excite
ment in Realjo when the steamer sailed,
and details of the calamity could not be OBJ
tanned. Full information will doubtless
come by the next steamer, which reaches
San Francisco in few days. Managua,

was unprotected, and that there were
grave doubts as to whether the posts
could be reset unless the entire Repub-
lican herd was given an even chance
for the clover spots.
The esteem with which Governor
Foraker is held by the Blaine Club is
best evidenced by the remarks OF one
Of the officers of that organization as
made at the house on Fourth street very
lately. Said he: Foraker is either
foolishly inconsistent or else is delib-
crate falsifer. One day he declares he
will not interfere with any of the ap-
pointments of his appointees, and the
next he states he will see that certain
gentlemen are named for positions. ~

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Reservations In Dakota Too Large for the
Tribes Upon Them.

Reservations In Dakota Too Large for the
Tribes Upon Them.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Harri-
son, from the Committee on Indian Affairs,
to-day filed a supplementary report re-
garding the investigation of the condition
of the Indians in the Indian Territory and
other reservations. In the report the COM
mittee say regarding the Crow, Creek and
Winnebago reservations in Dakota Ter
ritory, that there are about one thou
sand and fifty Indians drawing rations
there. The trouble, which subcommittee
consisting of Senators Harrison, Ingalls,
quire into, grew out Of the throwing open
TO settlement by order of President Arthur
of certain lands embraced in this reserva-
tion, and the subsequent revocation of that
order by President Cleveland. On this
subject the report says: 1.-THE committee
are Ct the opinion that the reservation is
much larger than is needed or can be wise
ly used for the Indians residing thereon;
but if the lands are covenanted by a
treaty with them we can not repossess
them without the. consent of the Indians.
We believe it is entirely practicable to pro-
cure the consent of the Indians to a reason
able reduction of the reservation as well as
of the greater one lying west of the Mis-
souri, river. An attempt in that direction
has already been inaugurated, and the
necessary legislation has been passed
Oy the senate. But the committee
believe that the settlers who went upon
the lands thrown open to settlement
by the Executive order of February
"a, 1885, and in good faith made settlements
thereon, are entit ed to be protected as
fully as possible from the consequences of
this unfortunate complication" In regard
to the Crow reservation in Montana, the re-
port recommends that it be reduced to such
limit as will enable the Indians to use what
they retain and vest the titles in individuals.
In the opinion of the committee, the con-
slderation of SO, 600 a year given by Messrs.
Blake and Wilson for the rental of between
2,500, 600 and 100000 acres of these lands
was very inadequate, and the report says:
-'Charges of fraud in the negotiation of the
lease were made. 1t is enough the report
continues, ito say that the Indians are in
capable of the intelligent transaction of
such business. II leases are to be allowed
at all, thei department should have taken
entire supervision of the business p

The Hard Task Before Governor Foraker,
of Obio-What 3 Prominent Republican
Has to Say of Him.

The Hard Task Before Governor Foraker,
of fObio-what q Prominent Republican
Has to Say of Him.
Governor Foraker has arrived in
Cincinnati. His coming was not her
aided with trumpets and 'sich," nor
was he met at the depot by the Young
Mems Blaine Club of this city. Of
course this failure to properly receive
his Excellency has no significance.
Some people might imagine that be-
cause the Blaine Club went to SPRING
field in body to secure his nomina-
ton at the hands of the Republican
State Convention the same organiza-
ton would welcome him with out
stretched arms. A few persons, and
they might be misinformed, say such
is the feeling of the Blaine Club.
The band of young Republicans has
taken no action in the premises.
The Governors visit to the Queen
City is said to be that of a private citi-
zen. 1t is rumored that he requested
that no public demonstration be made,
which accounts for what might appear
to be lack of enthusiasm. Report
has it that his Excellency will be ten
dered reception by the Lincoln Club
before his return to Columbus. There
are some peculiar stories floating
around as to the cause of the Govern
or's quiet visit. 1t is asserted by a
number of gentlemen who should be
we'll informed that he is anxious to
make few explanations. The Gov
ernor has always been classed among
the smartest and shrewdest of polite
ians. That he should have occasion to
explain might appear strange. Sever
al persons, probably evilly disposed,
have, however, likened Little Breeches
to an Ex-Governor who has the reputa-
ton of having made more mistakes in
a less time than all his predecessors.
In short, he is said to have beaten the
record.
There is a baro suspicion that the
Governor and his friends, Mayor Smith,
Sam Bailey, William B. Smith ct al. e,
meant to have conference as to the
proper course to pursue at the coming
fall convention and election. There is
also growing belief that the last
named gentlemen have discovered that
a screw is loose somewhere in the party
machinery, and that there is danger Of
a revolt-a sort of mutiny, so to speak.
That there is something wrong can not
be questioned.
