"A Big Tract Involved.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, Aug. ia
case pending before Judge Brinker, in
which virtually the land titles of the ter
ritory are questioned, is attracting terri
torial comment. 1t is Franz Huning vs..
Daniel Franesis, and involves a tract OF
over 1S0, 600 acres just beyond the south
ern limits of the city. Huning came to
New Mexico over thirty years ago with
United States soldiers, and after his dis
charge settled at Albuquerque. He has
acquired a fortune by his utilization with
the natives. This tract of land, so Hun
ing claims, was bought by him from the
heirs of q family named Padillas, and
was known as theLos Padillas grant.
Franesis and several others took up a
claim on the grant. and it is stated some
secured papers from the government
The object of Huuing is TO eject the set
tiers from the land, and the testimony he
has produced, while he may win the
case, is in itself sufficient to show that
no Los Padillas grant in name ever ex-
listed. The verdict in the case will be
watched with intense interest.

Capt. Laub ordered the cargo removed
from the fore hold. This caused the

the hole in the bow was out of water.
The vessel was then safe for the time be-
ing, and the Tears of the passengers We're

ser's people had already been begun and
was pressed with vigor. Every man of
the crew that could be spared was IN
gagged in working with the small boats,
and the search was kept up until there
was no possibility that any remained
aHoat and unaided. They cruised around
until daylight. The Thingvala, after
taking aboard the rhirty-fiye rescued
passengers, had over 500 passengers, be-
sides a crew of sixty men. She was
badly disabled, and, when, after five
hours slow and careful sailing, the Vie
land was sighted and arrangements were
quickly made by which every one eY-
cept the officers and crew were trans
ferred to the latter steamship. Capt.
Laub and his crew refused to abandon
the Thingvala, though she could only
make two knots an hour. She was $50
miles from Halifax when the Wieland
left her. Should a storm arise before
she reaches q port the men will have to
take to the life boats. Her agents,
Messrs. French & Eddy, express conf

rhe parnell Commission.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Mr. Henry Cuniag,
hame has been appointed as secretary
for the Parnellite commission. This Is a
popular move on the part of the commits
%sioners, and is taken as an evidence of
their intended fair dealing, as Mr.. Cuniag-
hame is in politics a Liberal and Home
Ruler. He is an active barrister and
fitted for the position, having served in
a similar position before. 1t is rumored
that Attorney General Webster has re-
fused to represent the Times before the
commission, for what reason the rumor
does not state. The Times retains for
the action brought against it by Mr..
Parneu, in Edinburgh, the Scotch solicit
tor General G. hurry, and Mr.. c. S.
Dixon, both of whom are well qualified
advocates and will undoubtedly take adj
vantage of every technicality which can
be brought forward to assist the Times
case. 1t is evident from the diminished
confidence shown by the Times in the
authenticity of the alleged letters of Mr..
Parnell, that that paper is anxious to
avoid the consequences of a libel suit in
Scotland, and will avail itself of every
possible mean to escape the actions that
its legal advisers can devise.

An Indian Chiefs birthday.

WABASH, Ind, Aug. IA band OF
Cherokee Indians stopping in this city
had a great pow WOW on the occasion Of
the 6lst birthday of Kammauka, the
great medicine man and chieftain, who
accompanies Them. These celebrations
occur every five years, and are reckoned
by the moons. The last celebration of
Kammauka's birthday was held in Mas
sachusetts. The celebration was of a
very peculiar character. Kummauka de-
livered an eloquent speech in the Chero-
kee language, in which he detailed the
hardships of his f%orefathers. After this
came the gifts, and the chief was made
the recipient of many tokens of affection,
followed by the dance, in which the
tBmborines, flies and whistles were mixed
in general confusion. Kammauka's home
is at Tahlequah, l.. I. During the re-
bellion Kammauka enlisted under Gen.
Sherman, and was a brave soldier. Since
the wal he has been of service to the
government in various ways. He is mar
ried, and was recently presented by his
sauaw with a male pappoose. In 1874
Kammauka j~onrneyed through Europe,
and was introduced to the crowned heads
of the principal countries.

A "Loadedn chinoman at MoetInp.

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. IA negro
camp meeting is being held near Char
lotte. The negroes had never seen a
Chinaman, and when Yen Kee, a Chi
nese laundryman, in his full costume,
strolled upon the grounds, there was a
great crowd of colored people present,
and the religious excitement was in its
height III half an hour Yen Kee had
broken up the meeting. The Chinaman
thought it was some kind of merry-mak-
ing perhaps "a picnic. He walked
around and in a few minutes afterwards
the rapid firing of a pistol was heard.
The crowd left the big arbor of bushes,
and running in the direction of the re-
ports saw the Chinaman whooping and
shooting. BY the time the crowd came
up the Chinaman had hidden the pistol
in the folds of his dress. The colored
people made him understand they
wanted him to leave. He started away
followed by an excited crowd. They
pressed upon him and, becoming excited,
he drew his pistol and shook it at the
advancing hosts, shouting: s'Shootee!
Shootee!n The crowd closed in on
him, disarmed him and took MIN to

results. 1t seems that about two months
ago the rebels, who have for a long time
resisted the snltan's domination, sent q
deputation TO the latter. But the terms
which the deputation proposed were MOI
to the liking of his majesty, n so the
rebel representatives were ordered to be
beheaded by Muley, Recently a second
deputation of rebels declared that they
were willing to pay the tribute the
sultan demanded, consequently the
sultan dispatched his cousin, Prince
Muley accompanied by an escort of 200
horsemen, to receive the submission OF
the rebels and to bring back the tribute.
Instead, however, of accomplishing his
object, Prince Muley and his horsemen
FELL into an ambusoade of the rebels, who
avenged the murder of their comrades
by killing the entire company.

AROUND the county and in Ell Paso for a
party of cowboys recently employed on
a large ranch in the tornado, who com
mitted @ serious outrage on the people of
Engle, a village on the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe road. Four cowboys,
headed by Rube Andrews, rode into
Engle and proceeded to shoot up the
town. A stranger happening to be in the
street vas lassoed and dragged around
and when released was seriously
injured and bleeding. At the
train they threatened the agent
and told him they were going
to ''hold upn the train. The agent man
aged to send a few words of warning to
the coming train, and the trainmen and
a number of passengers came in fully
armed and ready for an attack. When
the cowboys saw this their courage oozed
out and they made haste to scamper off.
During their stay the people at the hotel
were shamefully abused and threatened
by the leader of the gang, who pointed
his revolver at the heads of several of
the inmates, and hooted, and yelled, and
shot and had a wild time generally.
