sacks and made a wagon load. 1mmedi-
ately a force of clerks were put to work
ranking and addressing the speeches,
and they were sent into Pennsylvania,
most of them into Bayne's own district,
which embraces Allegheny City. About
the time the last speech was sent out the
colone!. was almost p~aralyzed by receiv-
ing a lot of protests from his constitu-
ents, who demanded an explanation as to
why their congressman had flooded them
with a Democratic tariff speech. They
stated that they were protectionists and
they did rot care to read free trade doc
trines. Upon reflection the colonel was
inclined to think that the protest came
in the form of a practical joke. Then he
caught his second breath and went into
the room where he had a few of the
speeches left, and tearing open one OF
the envelopes found it TO contain a
speech by Hon. Benton Mcmillan of Ten
nessee, one OF the leading Democratic
members of the committee on ways and
means. Great beads of p~erspiration
;,roke from the colonel's brow as he
snatched up another and then another
of the speeches and tearing the coverings
| away found them to be the same as the
first one. Then 1t dawned upon him
that the mistake had been made at the
| government printing Office, and the 10O,-
GOO copies ordered were Interpreted to be
| the speech of Mcmillan instead of Nc
| Kinley, the two names looking similar

at the government printing office and
found that the whole load printed, adj
| dressed and sent out, were copies of
| sDeecheS of Mcmillan.

feet tiheet of water fell, and for three
hours while the storm was at Its height,
flash upon flash of vivid lightning turned
night into day, showing the streets and
walks covered with one vast mass of
flowing water. At 8 o'clock the fury of
the storm somewhat abated, and finally
at a O'Clock a. II. it ceased. During the
night no less than twenty different resi-
dences and structures had been struck
by lightning in this city alone, and nu-
merous washouts are reported from all
surrounding points, The midnight Mani

toba were the only divisions over which
trains could pass, Telegraph wires are

False Returns of Stamp cancellations t

False Returns of Stamp Cancellation to
Increase Salaries.
BOSTON, Aug. 3.--Inspector Townsend
of the postoffice department has just
completed an inspection of the New
England ~postofiices. Suspicion had been
aroused at Washington by sudden and
inexplicable variations in the receipts Of
certain offices. The result of this in
y~estigation, it is said, has shown that it
has been a practice with not a few of the
postmasters to make false returns of
their stamp cancellations in order to get
d larger salary out of the government. 1t
was found in one instance that a post
master had been reporting to the govern
ment that he had Cancelled $50 worth
of stamps per annuln, III his successor
did a business of only $400 a year. The
conclusion was irresistible unless some
palpable fact were presented to account
for the deficiency, that the old postmas-
ter had been making false returns to the
government. 1t is said that there ere
about fifty such cases in the New En-
gland district, every one of them backed
by overwhelming evidence of h guilt
OF the accused. These cases involve a
good many thousands of dollars in the
aggregate, although in q large number
of them the amounts are small. These
offices, as q rule, are in small places and
have been conducted by all sorts of peo-
pie. Some of them have been women,
end rural deacons, who are regarded as
moral bulwarks in their communities,
are not unknown In the list.

Against Agent Owens.

TAHLEoUAH, l.. IT,, Aug. S.-To say
that the Cherokee people are in a tran
quill frame of mind would be perverting
facts. The action of the late council in
refusing to lease the Cherokee strip to
the highest bidder has stirred up their
wraoh, and conventions and mass meet
ings of the people will meet shortly in
the various districts throughout the Ma
ton to sign petitions to their Represent
! atives, urging them, at the next session
of the council, in November, to vote for
the highest responsible bidders to have
the lease of the strip for the next five
years, or resign and let representatives
be elected who will. The present occu-
pants time on the strip expires the LIST
| of October, ard the lands will have to be
vacated for a while at least, unless they
make satisfactory arrangements with the
Cherokee authorities before that time
about paying the tax until the next
council makes some disposition of the
matter. The action of the present less
ees at the late council lobbying to Sc
cure the lease has not had a tendency to
inspire the people with confidence in
them. An old-timer Cherokee said in
discussing the matter: 1.-THE action Of
this present ~lessees of the strip during
the session of the council, has demon
strated to the Cherokee people one thing
strongly, and that is that after a monop-
oily once gets a hold, especially of a little
| government like ours, it's the hardest
matter in the world to shake it off. The
~lessees say they propose to hold the
country, anyway. l guess the United
States government will have something
to say in this matter, as well as the
Cherokee authorities, who are the last
people to be be hluffed out of their
rights. Although the present occu-
pants held a majority of the council
members to their bid, which was the
lowest, wehave got to make them under
stand that they can not run the whole
government in their interests, as they
found out when they tried SO assidiously
to pass their nefarions measure over our
chiefs veto by a two-thirds vote, but
failed. The people will now speak, and
they are generally right, and their voice
will not be music to the present lessees.'

In the first round the men SPARED eau
tionsly for an opening. Gleason landed
first with his left, getting in two hard
blows on Dempsey's left cheek and nose.
The second drew claret. The round was
Gleason's, Dempsey failing to land q
blow.
In the second round Gleason opened
by getting in a singer on his opponents
Jaw. This angered the Californian. His
right shot out and landed IN Gleason's
neck, just back of the left ear. 1t was q
k%nockdown blow, but Gleason managed
to get to his feet before the allotted time
had expired.
Gleason came to the center in the third
a little groggy, and fought on the de-
fensive during the round. Little fight
ing was done, and the time was spent in
wrestling.
In the fourth round Gleason had
pretty much recovered and he pounded
his opponent at will, but his blows were
not effective enough to put his man to
sleep. Dempsey fought with bull dog
tenacity. Just before the call of time
Gleason got in a fearful blow under
Dempsey's left eye that laid open a cash
on HIS cheek an inch and a half long.
Gleason got in a second blow on Demp-
| sey's head, and followed his opponent to
| his corner and slugged him at will.
The fifth, sixth and seventh rounds
were terribly brutal. Gleason continued
to batter his opponent until his face was
| Dummeled into q Jelly.
In the eighth round Dempsey could
stand up no longer and fell to the ground
exhausted. The referee declared Gleason
the winner.

EARN. ana Horses Burned.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-During the heavy
thunder storm last evening lightning
struck one of the twenty stables of the
Union Stock Yards and Transit com
pany, at Halsted and Forty-third streets.
The flames communicated to a second
barn, and both were destroyed, together
with their contents aud twenty horses,
which were rendered unmanageable BIZ
smoke and could not be led from the
stalls. The loss is $4,000; fully insured.
Had it not been for the heavy rain which
was falling, and which aided the efforts
of the fire department, it is probable the
entire twenty barns would have burned,
as they are only separated from each
other by a few feet.

Mt the Union Agency, at Muskoges. A
formid able looking document containing
formal charges against Mr.. Owen, as
agent, arrived in Washington a few days

been repeatedly guilty of official miscon-

and is even o in a conspiracy to drive
certain cattle companies off their present
leased domain to make room for other
cattle companies, in which he is person
ally interested. 1t will, it is said, throw

to lease the Cherokee strip. The interior

Parnell Commission.

Parnell Commission.
LONDON, Aug. 3.-In the house O.
commons Mr.. Goschen, in reply to Mr.
HealY's speech, said that Mr.. Smith had
had no interview with the editor of the
Times, nor had he seen or communicated
with him In regard to the commission
Mr.. Labouchere called attention to a
breach of privilege committed by the
Times, in charging that the Parnellites
were trying to drown the bill in q food
of bla~ckguardism unparalleled in the
history OF parliament, and in %depJoring
the fact that Mr.. Gladstone and Sir
William Harcourt had completed the
foul-mouthed oratory of the Irish allies.
Mr.. Goschen agreed with Mr.. La
bouohere that q breach Of privilege had
been committed, and said that there was
no benefit apparent in seeking to miti-
gate the fact by asserting that similar
strong language had been used against
the Times. But if the house followed
the precedent it would not now deal
with the matter of q breach of privilege,
but proceed with the business of the,
day.
Upon the advice of Mr.. Gladstone, Mr..
Labouchera withdrew his question of
privilege, and Mr.. Goschen moved that
the debate of the Farnell bill proceed
until midnight, if the measure should
still be under discussion at that hour.
The motion was adopted. Mr.. Goschen
then moved to empower the chairman at
] o'clock to put the clauses then remain
ing.
Messrs. Reid, Healy, Harcourt and T..
P. O'Connor opposed the motion. Mr..
Healy moved to amend Mr.. Gladstone's
motion by inserting the words, elf the
chairman shall SO think thus leaving
obedience to the motion y matter Of dis
erection with the chair.
Mr. Balfour opposed the motion of
amendment, saying that the chair ought
not to be burdened with such RESPONSE
bility. The motion was rejected.
Mr.. Justin Mccarthy moved to extend
the inquiry into the circumstances under
which the charges were originally made
and published in the Times.
Mr.. Matthews said the amendment
was needless.
Mr.. Sexton said the Parnellites invited
the inquiry.
Mr.. Alexander Stanley Hill said thai
unless a good count were given as tc
where the Times came into possession O.
the letters, and the person produced whC
sold OF gave them to the Times, who, In
his turn, should be able to stand exam
nation as to how he got them, tn,
judges could not accept the letters a

The amendment offered by Mr.. Nc
Carthy was rejected-162 to 1913.
