Sacks Which Once Contained Sol
diers' Remains Used by Farmer.
VIRGINIA, New, Aug. 30.-A gentleman
eating breakfast at a G street restaurant
this morning observed the c1ok cutting
gunny sack, which had just been emptied
OF potatoes, on the outside of which were
the figures IA and the letter c. Under
meath was marked In lampblack SEQ. FL,
n. c." Nevada Cavalry. The gentleman
took the sacks and, examining the marks
critically, remarked:
81 put those marks there nearly two
years ago." He then explained that he
contracted to remove the remains OF de-
ceased soldiers from the military ceme-
terry at Fort Churchill. He took num-
Der OF gunny sacks with him to the ceme
terry, aud as the remains OF each soldier
were eXhumed he and his assistants
sacked them up and marked the number
OF the grave and company to which de-
ceased belonged on the outside OF the bag
and removed the dead in this manner to
an adjacent rancho, where The remains
were placed in caskets.
The empty bags were sold to the ranch
err, who used them to sack his crop OF po-
tatoes for delivery to market. This ghoul-

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. %, via Calves
kon.-Mr. A. G. Sedgwick, Secretary Bay
ards special envoy to Mexico, has been
here since last Monday. He called upon
Minister jackson, to whom he explained
that he had been sent as legal expert 10
look up the law and the facts in the Gut
ting case, but presented no credentials
When he asked to be presented TO senior
Mariscal. Mr.. Jackson informed him that
that could only be done on an order from
MI. Bavard, and Mr.. Sedgwick was not
presented.
The Mexican press noted the arrival OF
Mr.. Sedgwick as a special envoy OF the
United States, and at the same time an
bounced that Mr.. Sedgwick had an unlim-
tied credit at banking house In this city.
THIS announcement undoubtedly secured
Mr.. Sedgwick the attention of some OF
Mexico's young bloods, and he received
an invitation to tea given last night by
the Jockey Club. MIR. Sedgwick went
there in regulation costume ana enjoyed
himself immensely. The cold tea served
there bore strong relation to the we'll
known beverage in the basement OF the
Washington capitol. He took to 1t
immensely, and pledged his friendship 10
every Mexican around him. Drinks were
free, and Special Envoy Sedgwick was in
high clover. He soon became hilarious,
and made himself the centre OF crowd
of admirers. He was on mission OF
peace and goodwill toward Mexico, and
beamed with peace and goodwill on
every glass that was offered him. To-
wards the small hours of the morning the
Special Envoy was "full." His friends
surrounded him and gave him assurances
of their undying devotion. They decked
BIN out with flowers and placed big
bouquet in the top of his hat.
At about &: rs a. m. the inmates OF the
Iturblde Hotel were aroused by noisy
performance in the patios. There were
some twenty or more of MeXicO's gilded
youths singing and shouting, and they led
as in triumph Mr.. Sedgwick, the special
envoy. "Vlva ell Ambassador Ameri-
cano" they cried, and SedgwIck, decked
out as Prince, as at a Kentucky fair,
with big long garlands of evergreens,
nodded his proud assent. The party
then proceeded through several streets
and caroused in several houses of we'll
known reputation, in one OF which they
finally left their prize in charge of some
accommodating females. At ? p. m. Mr.
Sedgwick returned to his hotel, looking
the worse for wear, but wearing brand
new hat.
The escapade OF the alleged special
envoy is the talk of the town, and men,
bers of the American colony are full Of
Indignation over the disgrace brought
upon the American name by man Sc
lected by the administration for a deli
cate mission.

est to the public
GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, D. c., June II, SO.
MKssRs. HoLEMAN & EIcHELBERaER,
Dighton, Kan.-GENTIEMEN: am in re-
ceipt OF your letter of April 10, 1886, ask
ing if law passed by Congress abolish
ing or multiplying the timber culture law
would be retroactive enough to affect the
future filing of one who now contests the
claim of another on the ground of failure
to comply with the requirements of law,
and stating that you do not wish to take
peoples money for contesting tree claims
if there is any danger of the contestants
being prevented from filing on the claims
after having commenced and successfully
prosecuted their contests, by the repeal
of the timber-culture laws before the can
collation. of the entries at Washington is
procured.
In reply, have to state that as I have
no means of ascertaining in advance
what the terms and conditions of such a
law would be, 1 am unable to give you
the desired information. I may add,
however, that the bills now pending in
Congress are not retroactive in character.
Very respectfully,
