syndicate. Besides these there are a large
number of agents, whose duty II is TO look
after the consignments after they leave
Victoria, showing them from one point to
another in the Dominion, transporting
them over the border and then reshipping
across the States TO California, covering up
their tracks in such clever manner rs to
successfully elude the vigilance OF the Gus
toms officers. Chief among the agents
are Capt Durant and the Wcitzel BROTH
ers, Charles and George. Both OF the
Weitzel boys are now in Sarnia, and, to-
gether with Capt Durani, are awaiting in
structions from "Boss" Harris, who has
been informed by telegraph OF the seizure
Of his goods last week.
The value OF the combined product of
the factories in British Columbia-the
headquarters Of the Harris gang-is esti.
mated ut S5,000,OOO per annum, and of
this more than 80 per cent. goes to the
United States. II is believed that less
than 10 per cent. OF IT passes through the
custom-houses. The gang operates not
only at Sarnia, but all along the northern
border OF the United States as we'll. Capt.
Durant told the correspondent the story
OF his meeting and fight with the customs
officers in the Michigan woods. 1t did not
differ materially from that already related
by the officers. lie claims the ambush
was plot TO murder him, and said he is
not through with the men concerned in il
yet. He thinks, however, that he will be
more comfortable on the Canadian side OF
the river than in the States for some time
| to come.

and that his Government was Indifferent rs
TO the CHOICE of a King by the Samoans,
provided that his Governments interests
shall not be injured. Certainly this would
be also the wish OF this Government, and
being thus agreed, / hope you will recon.
mend TO your government that this official
in Samoa be instructed to cooperate with
the officials of the United States for the
peaceful conduct Of affairs in these regions,
and il any cause of difference shall arise
which cannot be arranged by their joint
efforts, in such case reports shall at once
be sent TO the home Government of either
party in order that an amicablo result can
be had.
A note TO Mr.. Coleman, who has charge
Of legation ut Berlin under the same date,
Mr.. Bayard stated that he agreed with
Baron Won Halstein that il was a matter Of
Indifference to this Government what chief
might be at the head OF samoan affairs.
On November % Mr.. Scwall, being then
in Washington, informed Secretary Bayard
that the indisposition on the of the part of
the German Consul at Samoa TO obtain
friendly cooperation with him arose out
OF u misapprehension us to his motives and
from misapprehension ~ TO the policy of
the Government, aud he expressed his
wish that nothing should stand in the way
of an harmonious adjustment.

Special Dispatch 10 The Appeal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-The Senate to-
day passed Mr.. Walthalrs bill restricting
disposals Of public lands Of the United
States in Mississippi to homestead set
tles, after so extending Its provisions as
TO embrace the public lands OF all other
States in the Union except Missouri.
After the introduction Of this bill Mr..
Walthall introduced q joint resolution
providing that the public lands in Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Arkansas, subject to
private sale, should he disposed OF under
the homestead laws only until the pend
ing legislation affecting such lands should
bc disposed of or the last session OF Con-
gress should adjourn, which rcso-
luton passed both houses and
was approved In May last. Sub.
scquentlv another Joint resolution
was passed by which the States Of Louisi-
ana and Florida were included, aud eX-
tending the time until the close OF the
present Congress. II Is believed that the
bill passed today will meet no serious op.
position in the House and thus the pub
lie lands of the United States, except in
Missouri, subject 10 private entry, will be
reserved TO homestead settlers.
The Secretary Of the Interior has affirmed
the decision Of the Commissioner Of the
General Land Office in the case OF David
J. Davis, holding for cancellation his
homestead entry male December 20, 1856,

A Newspaper Comment.

INDIANAroLIs, Ind, Dec. 2l.-The
chief topic Of conversation today about the
hotel lobbics was the sensational at
tempted assassination tclcgraphcd from
New York. II has been discussed, aud
has stirred up pretty strong feeling
Of Indignation among the President-cect's +
friends. The Ecnig Nap. an Indc-
pendent paper, reflects this sentiment
in It's comments upon the New York dis
patch when Il says
"The report reads 30 much like lie
that II would be given no credit by any
person Of intelligence. The man who
wrote Il said this morning that he received
an inquiry about such a runor from the
Herald, and in reply he sent the matter A.
Il was published, telling the editor Il was
not believed. Still Il was published. 81
far rs can bc asccrlaiucd, the foundation
for the ialschood is nothing moro than a
remark made by one newspaper corrc-
spondcnt 10 another that during the
week preceding the election Gen llnrri-
son had spent two nights In the country
mainly because he dcsiCd 90 got away,
not only for n little rest, but also because
the family was somewhat alarmed over
anonymous lcttcn that had been received
that an attempt would be made 10 murder
the General. II there was anything more
than this TO warrant the sensational iclc-
gram II cannot be- asccrlnincd. The i'm
mediate friends OF Gen. Harrison de-
nounce the report as ouimgcously false,
and they express surprise that II should
bs pubiishcd.'

A MALICIOUS LIE.
Report OF a Plot Against Gen. Harrison's s
Life Sent Out.

bllc oenL OuJ.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. 21.--The SEN
sational romance telegraphed here this
morning from the special indianapolis dis
patch printed in a New York paper, pur-
porting to relate to the discovery Of n plot
TO assassinate Presdent-elect Harrison,
created great indignation among Gen. llar-
rison's many warm friends. At the Har-
rison household the story is unhesitatingly
declared the purest fabrication. Those
near the General declare il TO be the Gre
alton OF malicious mind and without a
shadow upon which to build il. No one
in the city can be found who ever heard OF
the alleged attempt upon Gen. lIarrison's
life, nor had any thought OF such posi-
bility seriously engaged the consideration
Of any OF the Generals friends or OF his
family, so far as diligent inquiry
can ascertain. This fiction from New
York, therefore, causes all the greater in
dignation as IL leaves the correspondent,
who is notorious among the local news
paper fraternity rs an unreliable reporter,
without the smallest grounds Of fact upon
which 10 justify his story Several tcle.
grams have been received at the house
this morning, asking about the truthful.
ness Of the report. IL is understood that
Gen. Harrison will not dignity tho publ.
cation by any denial. lie does not seem
in the least disturbed BY the story. lie
came down street rs usual at noon today,
returning home about | o'clock.
