NEEDLES AND PINS.
The Report Of the United States Marshal for
Indian Territory to the Attorney General.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The attorney
general has received a report from Unit &c
States Marshal Needles of Indian terri
tory, in regard to the conduct of himself
and deputies at the opening of Okla
hOma territory. Gas far as | am con
cerned' he says, II have not entered any
land or lands, town lot cor lots, in Okla
homa district, and have no interest what
ever directly or indirectly, near or remote
Of any kind or nature in any land
or lots in the territory. /
do not know positively IS to my deputies,
but | have had an intimation that one of
them has secured town lot in Guthrie and
one or two have entered a quarter section
of land near there. | am not positive as to
this, but will at once ascertain the facts
and report to you.
IF there are any violations of the law by
my deputies, | have not heard of them. No
person or persons other than those re-
ported by me in my communication of the
18th ult. had any authority from me to
enter the territory on or before the 22d ult.
Marshal Needles explains that he did not
fully investigate the action of his deputies
because two special agents of the land of
ice had been engaged for two weeks in in
veStigating the whole matter Their re-
ports had been sent to Washington, and he
presumed that the attorney general had
been fully advised in regard to them. In
a postscript he says:
IF the statements made by me and the
report of the officers of the interior depart
ment are not satisfactory to you, should
like a copy of the specification filed. in
order that | may furnish testimony in detail
to refute them. 1 should like to meet my
face to face before YOU
Acknowledgement Miller said this after
noon, that it was but just to Needles to say
that the reports of the special agents
showed he had helped them materially in
their Investigations, and that there was
nothing to show that he had done anything
wrong. The Encouragement added that
ne would expect Marshal Needles to make
the investigation of the action of his deDu-
ties on entering lands

lExaminer Dispatch-Special to THE HERALD. l
LONDON, May 16.-[By special cable to
the Mail and Express. There was terrific
thunderstorm in Paris Tuesday 1t ex-
ceeded in violence anything of the kind that
has been felt there for a long time It
lasted over an hour, and did a great deal of
damage about the city. The worst effect
was experienced at the grounds of the great
exposition The elements played havoc
with some of the buildings, and consider
able amount of serious injury was done. If
the reports which have thus far received
are correct, it viii take a good deal of
money to repair the damage.
! 1t is estimated that the national capital
or the general finances of the industries OF
the empire, have suffered a loss through
| the strikes of the German miners of more
than million marks day, and the loss is
! repeated every day so long as the work
men continue idle. The account which has
| been published of the interview held BY
Kaiser Wilhelm with the delegates of the
miners is not to be relied upon as an abso-
| lutely correct story. 1t NAV be quite right
but it emanates wholly from Herr Richter
and the Liberal deputies, to whom the
miners communicated the result of their
audience with the Kaiser. A stenograrher
was present, and an accurate record of all
that was said was made so that if the pub
ished account is incorrect in any particu-
lar, there is no doubt that an official version
of the affair will be published
1t is believed generally that the express
ions of sympathy which the Kaiser made
to the delegates will have a good effect
upon the situation; but the feeling of the
men has been very much embittered by the
hasty action of the military at the outset of
the difficulties. At present both sides seem
to be extremely obstinate and no way is yet
opened for escape from the trouble.
Mr.. Gladstone was among the visitors at
the sitting of the Tuesday Parnell commits
sion court There was not, however, a
large audience. The Slackness in the aud

the monotonous evidence of parish priests
and peasants. Most of this is of trifiing,
though often amusing, character. Gener-
