Railroad Rights of Way.

WASHINGTON. July II Senator Dawes,
from the committee on Indian affairs, to-
day submitted II report to the senate rec
ommending the passage over the presl-
dents velo of the bill granting railroads
right of way through the Indian rescrva-
ton in Northern Montana. The report
says it will be observed that the bill under
consideration Is an attempt to apply to
this Indian reservation the general law
granting railroads right of way through
public lands of the United States, and
that whatever criticism can properly be
lies with equal force against the existing
law. This law. the report says, has ex-
listed now for more than ten years, and no
complaints Of its operations have been
heard in any quarter. 1t was in the line
of a broad and liberal policy. inviting cap
ital and enterprise to push railroads into
the public domain wherever there was
reasonable hope to expect that develop
ment would produce business enough to
Justify the outlay. The beneficial results
of that policy have been so marked in the
rapid settlement of the public domain
and development of the resources
OF the country that no man has
hitherto suggested that 1t be abandoned
The objection OF the president that the
bill invites a general invasion OF the In
dian country and brings into contact and
intercourse with Indians a class of whites
who are independent of order, regulations
and control of resident agents. does not
appear to be sound. They say THE
day OF isolation for the Indian has passed,
and on the contrary the present policy Of
dealing with Indians is to bring them as
fast and at as many points as possible. in
contact with civilization and every facility
ofintercourse and subsection to law which
now covers white men and Indians alike
should be permitted" The committee
also note the fact that on the day this bill
was vetoed, the president signed a bill
allowing the construction Of a railroad
through Indian Territory. regarding which
the Indians were not consulted.

A Report.

WASHINGTON, July Senator Blair,
from the committee on pensions. to-day
submitted a report, adopting as the report
of a majority of the committee the report
before submitted on the message of the
president vetoing the bill granting a pen
sion to Mary j. Nottape, and which was
recommitted by the senate. The report
was adopted by a strictly party vote.
Senators W%hitthorne and Wilson (Mary-
land), Join in u minority report in which,
af err a brief statement of the history and
value OF the presidents constitutional
right OF veto, they say: THE report to
which we dissent is nominally on the bill
granting a pension to Mary j. Nottage,
but it will be seen that the author Of the
report undertakes to review and consider
not alone the objections of the president
to this bill, but the objection of the presi-
dent to twenty-five other bills. waving
any criticisms upon the order. Or
propriety of a report so made, we have to
express our dissent to the evident politi
cal and partisan animus manifested in the
preparation of said report. One may differ
with the president in some m or more Of
the cases mentioned in this report, as to
his conclusions, upon the facts presented;
but it is akin to madness to ascribe to him
unworthy motives in arriving at such con
illusions. We recognize the wisdom and
fidelity of the president when in the dis
charge of his constitutional duty to return
this and other bills, with his objections to
pessage.'

The Anarchist Trial.

CHICAGO, July lin the afternoon
the prosecution placed another iniormer,
Barnhardt Schrader, upon the stand. He
testified to having attended the meeting
over which Waller presided and curroi.o-
rated the %latter's description Of the doings
of the meeting up to a certain point.
Then he staggered the prosecution by
denying that any mention wa made Of
the use Of bombs or dynamite in opera
lions against the police. Upon this the
prosecution dropped the witness, who was
taken by the defense, whereupon he en-
larged considerably upon his former state
ment that neither bombs nor dynamite
had been mentioned at that meeting. The
prosecution again took the witness, and
lngham, holding a long manuscript up 70
view and cycling Schrader in u sharp man
ner, asked abruptly: did you not make
to Police Captain Setback a written state
ment-" All of the lawyers for the de
Tense interrupted instantly with an obiec-
ton to the question, excitedly appealing
to the Judge. The point was hntly dis
cusscd, and the fact coming out that the
state had been duped. Ingham said: ut
is evident from the action of the witness,
and from the action Of the counsel, that
Schrader is their witness and not our wit
ness. The witness was allowed to 60.
The only other interesting feature in the
afternoon was the statement on the wit
ness stand Of Lieut.. Quinn, who said that
Fielder, after making the remark, we
are peaceable," drew a revolver and fired
at Bon6eld Just as the bomb exploded.

1t is only too certain that the emigrant
is not wanted in the Cape colony. 1t Is
the country Of the black man-of that
scorner of clothes, the noble savage.
White labor languishes; energy fails at
the moment prospects open. The Boer,
the most adhesive of mortals, rests con-
tented with a squalid home and a pros
pect of untitled acres more extensive
than his eye can survey. h true
colonial instinct is wanting-that indie
scribable intellectual capacity of taking
root where the foot falls. Ambition here
seems to impel a man no further than a
desire to obtain money enough TO enable
him, whether he be an Englishman or q
German, to return home and stop there.
A posterity may arise that will be as
the vine bush Is, or the gum tree-a pure
growth of South African soil, but with
antecedents with a beginning in white
hands. But down TO the present moment
the symptoms are not those Of a coloniz-
alton such as created a great republic
across the western ocean, such as has
builded an empire Of cities and p~opulous
towns in the distant Pacific. / say 1t Is
a pity; for you cannot think Of the
mighty tracts of the green and beautiful
country stretching in mountains and val
leys and plains to the equatorial ATTITUDES
and OF the dreadful poverty you see and
hear Of and read about in London and
throughout Great Britain and Ireland
without deep regret that the land should

The news reached this city this morning.
early, of a fatal accident which occurred
last evening on j.. W. Webb's ranch,
about twenty miles west OF this city, on
the little Laramie. About 5 o'clpck in
the afternoon, Frank and Fred Newell,
sons of james Newell, who is MI. Webb's
father-in law. took a shot gun and star
ted out into the garden to shoot rabbits,
which have become a perfect nuisance on
the place. Frank is about IL years of age
and Fred just past IL. A little later the
eldest boy came running back to the house,
screaming and crying SO that it was i'm
possible to find out what was the matter.
Some OF the folks ran up to the garden
patch and found Fred lying on the fiat of
his back on the ground, with a hole through
his breast as large as a mans fist. Els
hands were severely burned with powder

Seacoast Defense.

WASHINGTON, July l7.-After a num-
Der of reports from the committees were
presented, the house went into committee
of the whole on the fertilization appro
p~riation bill After extended remarks
by Messrs. Butterworth and Reagan in
favor Of the bill. Mr.. Morrow of Callfor-
mia. as the representative Of the great city
Of San Francisco, protested against the
action of the committee on appropriations
in bringing in a bill appropriating $6OO,.
900 in response to a report OF the board
the board appointed to investigate the
subject, calling for an appropriation for
the present year Of 81 900 O0O to meet
the urgent requirements OF the coast de-
tense. San Francisco did not have a sin
gle gun she dared to fire. IL was the
duty Of congress to adopt the report Of the
ratification board and make the appro-
priations necessary to place the country in
u proper position to defend itself from any
attack coming from whatever source it
might.
MIR. Butterworth offered an amendment
increasing from $500,000 to $3.500,OOO
the appropriation for armament of sea-
coast Notifications. Rejected.
Mr.. Viele oil New York moved to in
crease the appropriation to $~3,OOO,0oo
Rejected.
Mr.. Buck, OF Connecticut, raised point
of order against the clauses creating a
board under whose direction the apDropri
ton for armament OF Notifications shall be
expended. and who shall make investiga
tions, experiments, etc, and who are
authorized to purchase or manufacture
guns. The point of oder was sustained
and the clauses ruled out.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the house.
Mr.. Randall moved to reduce the APP
preparation for armament OF Notifications
from $500. 900 to 500. 600.
Mr.. Reed, Of Maine, suggested that
there should be a discussion over a p-Jpo
sition to vote a want Of confidence in an
other department OF the government.
Pending a vote on the demand for the
previous question, the house took a recess.

The Crawford Dixie Scandal.

LONDON, July Interest in the
Crawford divorce case has not diminished,
but on the contrary has increased. 1t has
disclosed that Mrs. Crawford recently
made a statement to the queens proctor
the exact nature Of which is not known,
but it is expected that she will be called
upon to substantiate it, and some new
facts, perhaps Of a startling character,
may be elected. 1t is the opinion that Sir
Charles makes a bad witness, failing to
answer questions asked until absolutely
forced to and showing a general DISPOSE
ton to debate and bubble, Ono of the
questions which caused a f1urter was,
Were you ever a lover of Virginia's
mother?" The reply came: II have been
asked previously a somewhat similar
question, and | must decline to answer "
This response created a sensation. Dur

A Defaulter's Confession of His
Crime.
The Causes Which Led to His
Populations.
Notes of Interest From the Ma
tional Capital.


ST. LOUIS, July l7.-Almon B. Thomp-
| son, deiaulting cashier of the Providence
| Savings bank, wrote a full confession of
his crookedness and populations before he
fed, and placed it in the hands OF some
t listed fir end, it is supposed. whom he
asked to deliver it to Mr.. Thomas II
Swain, the oldest director of the bank. 1t
has now been decided by the directors,
owing to false rumors and misrepresenta-
tions incident to the failure. to make its
contents public. The cashier says he
began to speculate with his own money
and was in debt; that Indebtedness was
carried fo- him by others and continued to
grow larger; that his creditors pressed
him and he began to use the bank s
money; that eighteen months ago he
stopped speculation. and that the sharks
to whom he was indebted, knowing his
thefts from the bank. pressed him still
harder and forced further drafts on the
banks funds: hat he tried to pay his
debts out of what he could ave from his
salary, and hat he paid off SO, 800 in this
way.
Thompson then gives in detail his in
debtedness to the bank, as follows: TO
pay me out used $4,000 cash; in cx
change maturing accounts. $4,000 cash;
my notes. s23, 500 cash: alleged Thiel note.
$1,000 cash; Mrs Sanborn, $4,000 cash;
art school drafts. SO, 900 cash; command
cry, 1854 cash; total. $6S,054 cash; and
some other small memoranda hat will
speak for themselves. Ny official bond is
good for 100000: store money in safe.
$l5, 000; total, S45, 600. He closes with
a sorrowful pen picture of his disgraced
condition, and asserts hat he is not a
thief at heart, and that it will be his life's
work to repay.

WASHINGTON, July l7.-Mr. Davis Of
Massachusetts from the committee on
commerce to day reported iavorably to
the house the bill to protect the freedom
Of commercial intercourse. The report
says that by the act of June 10 last the
president is authorized to issue his procla-
nation excluding vessels of foreign coun-
tries from the exercise of commercial
privileges in the United States ports in
certain contingencies, but the bill which
is now reported, while adopting the prin
ciple of that act, enlargcs the scope Of its
application in order that the president
may have ample power whenever our yes
sells are denied commercial rights in any
port Of a foreign country to protect our
commercial interests by the employment
of most comprehensive and vigorous meas
ures in their behalf.

Better BE Blind Than Deaf and Dumb.
Are not the blind proverbially cheer
full, and is not this a beneficent. useful,
and c~ompensating quality in them? As
a rule, we carry u cross gayly, and II
Is a constant source of wonder to many
that we can keep up u spirits in face OF
the calamity. Contrasted with he deaf
our bearing is remarkable; they are
prone to look gloomy n morose, while
we are, l think, usually the reverse.
The secret is that it Is far more depress-
ing and miserable II live in silence than
in darkness. As proof Of this, watch q
deaf person sitting apart with saddened
expression and suspicious glance quick
travelling in all directions. The whole
aspect and demeanor of the man changes
on the instant some one speaks to hum In
his own tongue-on the fingers, that Is
TO say. The silence in wnicn he live Is
dispelled; he has found al equivalent for
his ears.
Give, then, the blind man in his fingers
an equivalent for his eyes and the dark
ness In which he lives is dispelled. His
mood, if happy, simply becomes happier,
in that he has an occupation, the source
of all happiness. The situation Is not
changed II the occupation be directing
or listening instead OF technical. No;
must repeat this is o misunderstanding
of the powers of the blind which has
hitherto retarded their fullest develop
ment. They have been too much reie-
gated to the ranks OF the incompetent,
too much set aside as a class by them
selves, instead of being accepted as intel
lgent, useful, working members of the
community. -Fortnightly Review.
