was announced and introduced his brother
to the Pope. 1t is stated that the Pope,
owing to the brevity Of his interview with
the Emperor, and his own RESPONSIVENESS,
had not time to say all he wished, and was
therefore dissatisfied. 1t is rumored that
Emperor William instructed his brother
to come before time, for the purpose OF

GEN. ATKINS TALKS.
A Complete Refutation of Charges
Against Him.
To the Editor Of the American.


To the Editor Of the American.
PARIS, Tenn, Oct. 81 desire TO ex-
press my thanks for the article in yester-
days american, indicating my reputation
against the vile Islander TO which it re-
ferred, and also to express my obligations
to Mr. Wilson, superintendent OF the New
York warehouse for Indian supplies, for
his voluntary defense.
am very 10th to appear in print over
my own signature, but this matter seems
to call for my personal notice.
As Mr.. Wilson states, Mr.. Morrow never
had contract for carrying Indian supplies
during my service as commissioner OF In
dian affairs. He, or the firm OF which
understand he is n member, has been
awarded contracts for furnishing wagons.
They were accorded on the written report
OF Mr.. L. l.. Cooper, Of the city OF New
York, who is, and has been for the last
eight or ten years, the inspector OF hard-
ware, wagons etc, and in the presence,
and by the personal concurrence, of the
officer detailed by the Secretary Of the In
terror to assist in making the awards, Mai.
~ n IL llhnltft anu III liit anu
with the unanimous concurrence OF sew
eral members Of the board OF Indian COM
missioners, rs the best wagon and at the
lowest bid, transportation considered.
Tho only consideration in making the
awards was the best interests OF the United
States and the Indian service. To have
refused to award the contracts given to
DIR. Morrow or the company he represents,
would have been gross injustice and re-
proach TO the administration. | could not
have done otherwise without personal and
official disgrace.
The second part of the charge is that DR..
Morrow is furnishing me the money upon
which am making my canvass for the
United States Senate.
l have never borrowed or received a
cent or any other sum OF money from DIR.
Morrow upon any account in my life,
directly or indirectly. As yet have borne
my own expenses out OF my own pocket,
not having been favored with Geographic
or railroad dead.head passes.
] only wish TO add that the man who
originated this charge, or who had given il
circulation, either orally or through the
press, with the purpose Of injuring my
reputation, is a conscious falsifer and an
infamous thief OF character will say
more. Any man who intimntcs that /
ever awarded any contract as Indian COM
missioner 10 any person or persons upon
any other principle than strict Justice and
the best interests Of the public service, or
that ever received the slightest compen.
sation in consideration Of such awards, il a
base slanderer. Respectfully yours.
