BRUNSWICK AND MALLORY.

Vessels of the Line May Enter After
the Expiration of Twenty Days.
BRUNSWICK, GA, Aug. 25.-The board
of health this morning received inquiries
from Mr.. Mallory, asking on what terms
his ship would be allowed in this port after
having been in Fernandina heretofore.
The board replied that he might enter the
port on condition of complete fumigation
ten days after leaving Fernandina, and
second fumigation ten days thereafter. 1t
is stipulated that the fumigation shall be at
the expense of the Mallory line, and under
supervision of DIR. Arthur c. Baiu, young
physician of Brunswick, now finishing his
course at New York. Mr.. Mallory has not
yet signified his acceptance of the prop
osition, but it is believed that he will,
although it will necessitate relinquishing his
Fernandina business and tho idleness of his
ships for twenty days. Brunswick's bust
ness is too profitable to be neglected, espe-
cially as the winter cotton business is just
opening.
The board of trade held meeting this
afternoon, called for the purpose of con-
demning the action of the board of health,
but resolutions strongly indorsing the health
board were passed almost unanimously.

CLEvELAND's GREAT HIT.
Congratulatory Dispatches by the
Hundred.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-When Presi-
dent Cleveland comes In from Oak View on
Monday, he will find his desk piled high
with kilograms from all over the country,
praising his retaliation message and con-
graduating him on it's effect. They have
been coming steadily ever since the mes
sage appeared. Many Of them are from
Irish-Americans, and serve to justify. by
their terms, the CONSERVATION from which
the republican senators have not as yet re-
covered. Senator Edmunds and his fol-
lowers held an informal conference to-
day, to determine, if possible, what
to do when they have to face
the Presidents recommendations next
week. They talked so much about the po-
litical advantage which the President has
gained over them by his bold and skiliful
stroke, that they did not have time to fully
consider the legal questions raised by them
in their trepidation yesterday. The con-
sderation they did give to the main ques-
ton served, however, to convince them
that in spite Of their specious pleas they
would ultimately have to give the President
the Legislation he requested.
NOT ALREADY POSSESSED.
1t is, of course, idle for them or for any
one to say that the President asked for
powers which lad already boon vested in
him by law. The Presidents action was
the outcome of profound deliberation after
thorough investigation--an investigation ia
which the President was aided by the mem
bers of his cabinet. The Secretary of
the Treasury made an exhaustive in
dependent examination of the laws
respecting transhipment in bond,
and came to the same conclusion
as the President, that while article 30 of the
treaty of Washington fell to the ground
with the fisheries article, there was still
legislation on the statute books antedating
the treaty Of Washington, which author
lies any importations or expectations in
bond by Canada through our territory.
WHAT 1T is BASED ON.
Not only is this right based on the act of
July, 1866, and regulations made under
Secretary McCulloch in 1857, which
binds the department as precedents Of
twenty years standing, but as Secretary
Fairchild pointed out to the NEWS CORE
spondent to-day the right Of expectation in
bond from Canada through our territory
is secured by section 32, revised statutes,
enacted in 1854, providing for such exports
from Canada when reacted by a consular
officer of the United States, a section under
which expectations are now frequently
made. Nothing can be done TO stop this
traffic." said Secretary Fairchild, 'unless
congress gives the President the powers he
asked in his message on Thursday"

WAR ON A COLORADO GRANT.
Settlers and Sheriffs Posse the
Rivals in the Battle.

Settlers and Sherln5 Posse the
Rivals in the Battle.
DENVER, COL, Aug ga Trinidad,
Col, special says: What may prove
a long and bloody struggle opened to-day
on Maxwell's grant at Stonewall, forty
miles west of Trinidad. A sheriffs posse,
sent to keep the peace, was met by armed
settlers in numbers estimated at from 200
to 500 men. The settlers demanded the
arms of the posse, which was re-
fused The posse took up its quarters in
the Pooler hotel, large frame building.
OPENING OF THE BATTLE.
The settlers endeavored to force an en-
trance, when the posse opened fire. r. ID.
Russell, one OF che oldest settlers, fell dead,
and two or three others were wounded.
The building was soon riddled with bullets.
The eYe-witness who brought this informa-
ton left while the conflict was still going
on. The citizens are greatly excited. The
sheriff is gathering men in numbers to go
to the relief of the besieged posse.
MAY BE BURNED ALIVE.
1t is believed that the building will be
burned and the dozen bssieged deputies put
to death before morning. The settlers come
from the tributaries of Purgatoire river,
from Varmejo, n. NJ. and also from the
Costello grant. In those mountain fast
nesses it seems useless to oppose
them with either militia or regular troops.
Public sentiment in Trinidad is entirely
with the settlers. Another courier is ex-
pec;ed to arrive tonight. The settler cav
airy is composed of both Americans and
Mexicans The Mexicans are painted as
for war;"
