1t Was q Mistake.

WASHINGTON, October 1O.-The officials
OF the treasury department have been criti-
cised in some papers for making public
announcement accompanying the con-
sci nee contribution received at the treas
ury department, in which the writer init
mated contributed OF $4,000. sent while
Mr.. Manning was secretary, had been ap-
propriated by that gentleman to his own
use. The fact is that when the letter was
made public by Assist ant Secretary Batch
elder, few days ago, he prepared a state
neut to accompany it, to the effect tha>
the department records showed that
81, ,999 mad been received and conveyed
INTO the treasury on the date referred to.
By an accident this statement became sep
arated from the anonymous letter and con-
ssquently was omitted from reports tele-
graphed abroad:

THE INTERNATIONAL BoUsDARY.
The Canadian Government VIII Not Put
Custom Oficers Along the Lines.

The Canadian Government VIII Not Put
Custom Officers Along the Lines.
OTTAWA, Ont, October 9. The govern.
ment will not appoint customs outposts
along the International boundary in the
northwest, being satisfied that the mounted
police can control the frontier sufficiently.
The principal rticles smuggled are cattle
and whisky. The government is also salts
fed that polygamy Is not practiced by the
Mormons settled at Mcleod, Northwest
territory, .4
Reports from ranching districts along
the international boundary indicate great
scarcity OF food snd water, and stock 70
already suffering in consequence. Owing to
the unusually dry season the amount Of
hay put up was small, and immense
stretches OF prairie have lately been burned
over. The outlook is so discouraging that
some ranchers offer to give their cattle
away, knowing that death from starva-
tion is almost certain.
The Hon. Mckenzie Rowell, Canadian
Minister Of Customs, has returned from a
trip along the einternatjonal boundary from
the Red River to the Rocky Mountains,
and the object Of his journey was to ascer.
tain from personal observation the best
means of preventing the smuggling OF
horses, cattle and whisky into Manitoba
and the Northwest. The entire distance
over 500 miles-is patrolled twice week
by mounted policemen, and, there
being no settlements. the chances Tor
successful smuggling are very small.

LAND DECISION.
A Delicate Point of Law Settled by Secre.

A Delicate Point of Law Settled by secre-
tary Noble.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. October 1O.-Secre-
tary Noble has rendered g. decision in the
case OF J. Henry Alters, Peter Benge, the
st. Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway
Company and the Northern Pacific COM
pany, who are inficting litigants for a
small tract of land in the Fergus Falls,
Minn.. land district. The land in contro.
versy. it appears. is within the granted
limits OF the first named road, and within
the indemnity limits of the Northern
Pacific road.
At the date OF the grant to the st. Paul
road, pre-emption filing was received and
in force for the tract in question. Subse-
qnently, on December 10, 1871, the map of
definite location OF the st. Paul road was
accepted by the secretary OF the inter or.
The notice OF indemnity withdrawal for the
benefit of the Northern Pacific company
line was received at the local office on jan
uary 10, 1879, and or December 29, 1883,
it applied to select the land as indemnity
for lands lost, and about six months
thereafter the st. Paul company applied
fer the same tract under it's grant. About
the middle of the following year Alters and
Benge each applied for the land in ques-
ton under the homestead law, the origi-
nal pre-emption filing having long since
lapsed. s. .
TIE real question at issue is whether the
Northern Pacific can select as indemnity

cause OF the failure OF the party making it
to make good his claim, which is equiva-
lent to aband donment. The secretary holds
that neither the fact that the land in con-
troversy is within the granted limits OF the
st. Paul road, nor the expired presumption
filing constitute q bar to it's selection as
indemnity by the Northern Pacific caln-

the FIamss.
South BEND, Ind, October 9.-The mag.
nifcant stone house of Glenn Studebaker
was almost entire destro. ed BY fire this
morning. The residence was the largest
and costliest in the west. The inte ior was
furnished in the costliest OF native and
foreign woods, while it was furnished in the
richest style throughout, and All art gal
lery was filed with rare works OF art, and
these were all destroyed. Studebaker is
absent as a member of the international
congress, and was to have entertained that
body in this home On the 10th inst. The
rest of the family, except Mrs. Studebaker
aad her grand child, are also away. Mrs.
Studebaker discovered the fire in the closet
under the rear stairway. 1t was caused by
spontaneous combustion of some oil rags
the painters had been using and thrown in
there. The flames spread all over the
building in an incredibly short time. The
servants had q narrow escape, and Mrs.
Studebaker herself was found ON the ter
race barely sensible, dangerously burned
and clasping her grand child in her arms.
Owing to the careful manner in which the
structure was built and it's supposed Sc
curity from fire, Mr.. Studebaker carried
but $40, 900 insurance.

A Lady Physicians Jealousy of Her Hus

Los ANGELES, October 1O.-Mrs. DR.
White, who has an Office on Turk street
San Francisco, is probably the most dis
consulate woman in Los Angeles to-day
As matter Of fact, Mrs. DR.. White is
perilously near the verge OF serious at.
tack OF Mysteries.
Two years ago. Mrs. DR.. White, charm.
ing yourg graduate of an Eastern medical
college, married DR.. Plato Marcus White,
a specialist, in Cincinnati. DR.. White had
just been left widower, and found a
soothing consolation in the attentions of
the pretty young graduate. The couple
removed to Denver, subsequ' ntly COM
ing to San Francisco, where, although
he wife secured fair practice, her hus-
band found his particular line vercrowded.
Consequently in March last he came to
Los Angeles, where there was q better field,
and opened an Office, his vile meanwhile
remaining in San Francisco. DE-. White,
the husband, was inclined to be generous in
his attentions to other women besides his
wife, and, besides, cherished a remarkable
affection for his deceased first wife, on both
OF which accounts Mrs. DR.. White seems to
have been jealous and in the habit of up
braiding her husband.
Nevertheless the couple visited each
other frequently, getting on fairly we'll 80
long as they remained 800 miles apart the
greater portion of the time, until Friday
last Mrs. DR.. White received tart letter
informing her that Plato Marcus had grown
tired OF her jealousy OF his first wife and
was resolved never to live with her again.
On the receipt OF this letter Mrs. White
hurried to this city and reported the case
to the police, who set a watch on the recre-
ant husband. He was last seen late Sat-
urday night, when the watchers lost sight
of him, and upon Mrs. Whites arrival here
early this m,'rning she could learn nothing
OF his whereabouts. The woman has been
waiting for him at his office all day long,
refusing to eat. and seems heartbroken
over his desertion.
