Here,s "a State OF Things.

LONDON, October 21.-The proprietor
of AndeTton's hotel appeals to the Lord
Mayor in behalf of the business COM
munity to abandon the annual show
which, he says, disturbs business and
gives an opportunity for rios. The
Netcs deprecates retreating before the
social busy-bodies, but thinks it time
for the Lord Mayors pageant to follow
other medieval relics into decent OBJ
liviOn.
Rumors are current that a terrible
state of confusion and alarm exists in
the Cars household owing to the hal
Iucinations of imaginary dangers to
which the Gar is subject. 1t is said
that on seeing an adjutant walking rap
idly towsrd him recently, the Car
seized a revolver and shot the adjutant
dead. ether accounts say that the ad-
jutant made an attempt TO kill the Gear,
and the latter fired in seif-defense.

The Land Grant,

New YORK, October PA Wash
ington special to the Erening Post says
The Interior Department has in con-
temptation plan by which the efforts
to forfeit the unearned land grant which
were unsuccessful in Congress
may be successful through depart
mental action. The 'sw officers of
the Land Ofice have the subject
now under consideration and il
the plan shall meet with the approval of
the Secretary Of the Interior, it will be
put into operation. Some time ago the
Interior Department decided that no
land grant road should be considered
to have earned its grants until
it had filed perfected plan of its entire
road and of the granted land claimed.
Proceeding from this decision as basis,
it is suggested that suit may lie against
the Northern Pacific Railway in which
the government will maintain that ii is
not entitled to any land which 1t claims
for instance, in the grant from Duluth
to Puget Sound, because these lands
were not earned and the perfected plan
for that part of the route was not filed
within the time prescribed. This theory
proceeds, of course, upon the assump-
ton that the road could not earn any
of the land if it did not earn the whole
grant, and on this theory the Secretary
of the Interior will doubtless be asked
to declare the lands forfeited and open
to settlement.

Those "5muggledy Goods.

WASHINGTON, October 2l.-Speaking
to-day of the alleged importation Of
wine, etc.. by the officers of the United
States ships Saratoga and Portsmouth,
Commodore Schley, Chief of the Equip
ment Bureau, said that there was no
attempted smuggling on board the
training ship. The officers did brig
over q considerable quantity of wine
with them from Madeira, intended for
friends on this side, who had sent for
it with the express understanding that
the duty, whatever it be, should be
paid. If the commanding officers had
been given an opportunity, Commodore
Schley said he would have sent to the
customs authorities, and asked for an
inspector to come aboard to make an
appraisement Of such goods as might
be dutiable. But the officers were
treated as smugglers caught in the act,
almost before the vessel had anchored.
and did not have an opportunity 10
show their intentions.
NEWPORT, r. l., October, 21.-The
matter Of smuggling on the ira ming
ships Saratoga and Portsmouth was set
tied this afternoon by deputy collector
boarding the vessels and collecting from
the officers the duty on the cOntraband
goods by inspectors who had been on
board the vessels ever since their ar
rival and possession, of which they had
seVerally made dispositions. The col
lection amounted to nearly 5000. The
money was nOtspaid without a protest
but it was paid, as the ships leave here
tomorrow. The protests will be re-
ferred to the Secretary of the Treasury.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, October 2l.-
Hon. James G. Blaine. in his speech at
Pittsburg yesterday. referred to
Chattanooga as,the point in the south
where colored Iaborers are paid go and
20 cents a day. The Daily Times, COM
mentingNon this speech, says: Careful
inYestigatioRahe here reveals thefact that
the lowest wages paid to the colored
laborers in any industry is 80 cents per
day, and this rate covers only lew at
the South Tredger iron works. The
greater number of colored men in these
works receive wages running from 81 to
So per day, with large humber at the
intermediate rates Of 81 % and 81 90
per day. In every case where
skilled colored men are employed as
heaters, puddlers, helpers, ETC., they
get exactly the same wages as white
men doing the same work. ColOred
laborers at Chattanooga furnaces get
SIPS, $l.50 and 81 per day, according
to the skill, resp possibility, etc., required
to ill the various places IN which they
work. These ale repres 9ntatiYe sous -
ern industries: w hat we say of Chat
tanooga in this regard, applies to b.
mingham, Knoxville and other places.
The cOlored boys in the South Tredgar
Nail Works, working as feeders, make
from re. TO Sis per day, according TO
the skill and industry displayed n
their labor. Some cOlOred men make
as high as 81 per day as puddiers and
foundry men. In this section we may
say generally that the scale runs from
81 to 81 so for the great mass of cOlOrsd
men working in southern manufac-
tories.

BLOWN TO FRAGMENTS.
A Soldier and a Lieutenant Lose
Their Lives.

SANDY HOOK, Nj, October 2l.-The
ordnance board fred a twelve-inch
mortar this forenoon. The charge was
fifty pounds of powder and shells
loaded with sand. This afternoon the
shells were to be loaded with powder.
One shell was filed by a soldier named
Jos. King. First Lieutenant VIM. Nj.
Metcalf superintended the work. After
filling the next shell and screWing in the
plug, it exploded, blowing the soldier to
pieces and fatally injuring Metcalf, who
lived but about half an hour. His body
was fearfuIly mangled, while that of
King vas picked up in pieces in the
vicinity. The clothes OF both caught
fire. SeveraI others were slightly IN
jured and temporarily lost their
hearing. As ten or twelve persons
were near the shell when it
exploded, it is wondered that no more
were killed, as fragments of the shell
few in every direction. Il is surmised
that some grains of powder lodged in
the thread Of the hole IN the shell and
the plug icing screwed in brought about
the explosion. This is the first fatal
aceid eDt which has happened during
the last twelve years and a half-the
length of time that the ordinance board
has been testing guns here. Many guns
have burst, but no one was ever in
jured by such an explosion before.

Hon. c. Meyer Zulick, Governor OF
Arizona, in his annual report to the
Secretary of the Interior, refers briefly to
the termination of the Apaches trou5lts
in that Territory and says with the re
moyal of these renegades he sees the
dawn of a new day. Her rapid de-
vel0pment will now go on without

ferrir to the San Ca''oj Indian

of land well Watered and we'll

then Congress should take measures to
