Puck" on Dubuque.

One of the funny men of Puck. the
celebrated illustrated weekly, has been
poking fun at Dubuque, as follows:
In 1880 or whereabouts Frenchman
named Julien Dubuque discovered the
town that now bears his name. and after
giving directions that his name should be
unhinged and nailed together to make it
look like an English word. he died. and
was buried somewhere else.
Dubuque lies on the banks of the Mis-
sissippi and the inhabitants lie on the
banks and wonder how they can fix the
census man to keep up with Des Moines.
1t is called the Key City and standin G
reward to discover the reason still re-
mains unclaimed.
Dubuque has handsome opera house
and is very lively show town. Last year
there were two performances of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" When there is nothing
else on the boards the amateurs play
''The Colleen Bawn." Dubuque is noted
for pretty girls; that is. they are noted
when they come there-from Galena.
The young men are very promising, &C.
cording to the tailors. and many have
been known to make their mark on the
municipal rock pile.
The streets are kept In good repair for
the convenience Of farmers who wish to
let their teams run away. This is daily
spectacle on Main street, and is believed
to attract trade.
Nothing historical has ever happened
in Dubuque, except the arrival of Senator
Allison. from Ohio. The only remaining
objects of interest are the hotels, of which
full description will be found in that
entertaining work, 'Ruins of the Missis-
sippi Valley"

Governor Waterman, Senator Stanford,
Senator Hearst, Congressman Clunie. Con-
gresham FELTON,, Congressman De Haven,
Major Mayre. U. S. A, G. K. Fitch, and

J: Buckles The Army" Lieutenant No
BILE; THE Navy" Captain E. II. Nielsen
A. P. Sanborn; Benicia," Judge Kohn

Mr.. Miner, on rising to respond to the
toast "Our Guests" received an ovation of
which he may well be proud. He seemed
overcome, and spoke with deep feeling.
He outlined the policy of the Government
in its intercourse with foreign powers, and
spoke of the pleasure he anticipated in car
rying out his instructions. He would use
all honorable means to increase our COM
mercial relations and strengthen the bonds
of amity and friendship with the republics
to which he is assigned.
The Hon. w. w. Morrow received cor
dial reception, and in an entertaining
manner spoke of our coast defenses, show
ing that he had given the subject consider
able thought.
The Hon. Joseph McKenna, after re-
viewing the actions of Congress, gave those
present his ideas on the policy of establish
ing gun plant at Benicia, now that it had
been fully demonstrated that armored ves-
sells could be successfully built on this
coast.
From present indications it looks as if
Benicia would yet come to the front and
receive her share of attention from the peo-
pie of the State.

He knows one firm that sold for export
last year about 81 100000, all of which was
shipped by the Canadian Pacific Railway
and by English steamers from Vancouver,
and there is very grave apprehension that
the Canadian Pacific is likely to secure the
entire carrying trade to and from the East
OF teas. silks and cotton goods which are
produced or consumed in this country.
Evidently there must be some discrimina-
tion in prices in favor of the Canadian line
to produce this diversion of shipment.
j. H. Herrick, Chairman of the Inter-
state Commerce Committee of the Produce
Exchange, testified in direct contradiction
of Smith. He said that be had found that
recently grain could be shipped to Liver
pool more cheaply than to New York
Last month the committee of which he is
Chairman discovered bills of ladiug from
Milwaukee to Liverpool marked nineteen
cents, while the same bills to New York
were marked thirty-three cents. He
thought we needed Canadian railroads. If
they were cut off New York and Philadel-
phia might be benefited, but The interests
of the two cities should not be placed
against the interests of the whole country
The other witnesses to-dsy were E. p
Ammidown, John d. Herman and Josiah
]. White.
The committee has about concluded
here and will next meet in Boston July 5th.

Not long ago a serious accident hap

The girls fell in all directions; some went

at the time of the accident, applied restor-

they were sent home in barouches, car

suddenly slid into a state of coma. A

CHIEF OF THE oHERoKEEs.
Prospect That the Strip Will Not Soon be
Open to Settlers.

TAHALEQUAB Il. T.), May 10th.-This
morning your correspondent called upon
the Chief of the Cherokees at his apart
ments in the Government Palace, and was
received in very courteous and courtly
manner. The Chief talked freely concern
ing matters of public interest, and when
asked as to when the Commission would
arrive, said he had received a letter from
Wilson, the Arkansas member, asking
what arrangements were beina, made in the
Cherokee nation regarding the coming con-
ference. The Chief had replied that the
Cherokee nation could take no action until
they were officially notified that the United
States wishes to negotiate with them con-
corning the Cherokee outlet, and as yet the
nation has received no such official COM
munication from Washington, consequently
they would wait until the Commission ar
rived in Tahalequah. The Chief said
6,0OO,O 600 acres of land, which the outlet
embraced, were held in common by the
Cherokee people, as provided for in the
Constitution, and before it could be sold to
the United States an amendment to the
Cherokee Constitution would be necessary.
There is division of opinion as to the
manner of procedure that should be
adopted by the Cherokee Government in
the matter. There are two political par
ties, the Natonalists and the Downings.
The Chief is Downing. and has not been
, in harmony with the Nationalist members
of the National Council since his election
in 1887, when his seat was contested by the
Nationalist party, and the Chief was
Obliged to call the Cherokee military to his
aid. Now the Chief proposes to ignore the
Council in the matter concerning the Cher
okee strip. 1t is said the Chief will cause a
mass meeting of the citizens to take action
looking toward a conference with the Com
mission.
Ex- Chief Bushyhead, ex-Chief Ross and
Colonel w. z. Baudinot, editor of the ma
tional organ of the Cberokees, are three OF
the most influential Cherokees in the ma
ton. They all belong to the Nationalist
party. Bushyhead lived in California for
nineteen years. He has a brother now
living in San Diego. These gentlemen
were seen by your correspondent and they
are of the opinion that the chiefs position
is unteDable, and that he will be Obliged to
recede from it; that if he does not there
will be trouble. They showed your CORE
spondent the article of the Cherokee Consti-
tuition which expressly provides that all
matters of this nature shall be acted upon
by the National Council.
Although there is difference as to the
mode of procedure that should be adopted
in regard to negotiating with the United
States Government, all are opposed to SELL
ing the land at 81 % per acre, or even at So
which they say has been offered them by a
cattle syndicate. Your correspondent is of
the opinion that inasmuch as they will not
accept So per acre, and as the United States
Government would hardly pay that much,
even though it was worth more, the open
ing OF the strip will not be consummated
for some time to come.
