Unusual Activity Noted in
the Militia of the
Country.
At Forty-Eight Hours No
tice rs, 900 Men Could Be
MasSed at New York.
The Appropriate n Too Small
Il to Build That Coast
Vessel.
Why Alphonse Hart, of Ohio,
q SwearS at the Admin
iStpation.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Militiamen
all over the country are awakening into
activity and making great preparations
for the summer campaign. The war
department is daily in receipt of req
uiSitions for ordnance and quarter
masters stores, under the annual $780,
600 appropriation, from nearly every
state and territory. not only from old
organizations, but from new ones just
coming into existence. Particularly in
the territories is this activity noticeable,
the folks there being seemingly thor
oughly aware of the advantages of
well organized and equipped militia
force. The older organizations in the
East are gradually changing their equip
ment to conform to that OF the regular
army. Most all of the requisitions
that come are accompanied by re-
quest to hurry. in order that the troops
may be supplied with equipments in
time for the New York centennial cele-
bration. Those in charge of that affair
are claiming that there will be fully
$4,000 mllitia-men in New York on the
5Oth, but at the war department this
estimate is reduced to about $4,000.
Mott of these men will come from the
states of New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and Ohio. and can get
from their homes to their destination
within twenty-four hours. This fact is
thought to be significant of the Won
derfui efficiency of the present organi-
cation, making it possible to concen-
trate an army of weil-driIled and we'll
equipped soldiers within day at al
most any Of the important cities Oh the
Atlantic coast. ''In time of need.''
said an officer this morning, this num-
Der could easily be swelled to fully
$4,000, while with forty-eieht hours for
preparation, an army of nearly $4,000
soldiers could be gathered"

A NONDESCRIPT.

The Oklahoma opening is liable to
prove bigger elephant than the gov
eminent bargained for. As the bill
opening the reservation to settlement
was passed at the tail end of congress,
when everything was in confusion, it is
perhaps natural that chaotic condition
of affairs should have arisen from such
hasty legislation. Oklahoma is not a
territory, and according to the presi-
dents proclamation it will cease to be
a reservation after tomorrow. ConSe-
Quently, there are no federal laws aD-
plicable to its government, and no pro-
vision made for a home government
when the 10000 homesteaderS shall
have taken up their permanent resi-
dence. A detachment of the regular
army will doubtless be detailed to do
police duty, and the county will have
to be virtually under military control
until congress can take further action
in the matter of providing civil gov
ernment. Secretary WINDOW has
already received number of appli-
cations TO open national banks in
Oklahoma. but cannot grant the re-
quests because Oklahoma is neither a
state nor territory. Besides. the ma
tiOnai banking law requires that the
president and directors of every national
bank shall be residents of the state or
territory in which the bank is located
at least one year before the charter
issues. Another troublesome question
about the new country which con-
fronts the Washington Authorities is
the granting of license to sell liquor in
Oklahoma. The commissioner of in
ternal revenue has received a number
Of applications for licenses. but the law
says that no liquor shall be sold upon
any government reservation or in the
Indian territory, except at military
posts and under military supervision.
1t is evident that congress will have a
big job on its hands in Strengthening
out affairs in the new and nondescript
country.

THE CHAMBERS REPORT,

The last annual report of the st. Paul
chamber of commerce, which will be
ready for distribution by Tuesday next,
is the most complete publication of the
kind that has yet been issued. Its
special value is in the fact that all of
the statistical matter is taken directly
from official sources, and is therefore
thoroughly reliable. The many sub
jects considered by the chamber during
the year 1888 are mentioned in detail,
and what action was taken in regard to
each. The various business interests
of the city are treated fully and fairly,
and the most authentic information
concerning each industrial department
is given in concise style. Some idea of
the Importance of this city as a railway
center may be had from a statement
furnished by Secretary BRUNsoN: of
the Union Depot company. who reports
that during the year 1888 the daily
average of trains in and out of the
union depot was 221; the average num-
Der of passengers daily was $4,000; the
average number of pieces of baggage
daily, 1,500; United States mail average
daily, 60 tons; and the average number
of cars handled daily, $50.
In addition to full statistical matter
relating to st. Paul this report of the
chamber of commerce contains much
valuable information about the Da-
kotas and Montana. The total mem-
bership of the chamber is nearly 500,
and composed of citizens representing
the many interests in the city.

A NOTABLE EXAMPLE.

Gov. RICHARDSON, of South Carolina,
has set an example in wiping out the
color line in his section that merits
commentator. 1t is the usual occur
renee down there, when a negro
outrages white woman, to swing him
UP without the Intervention of Judge or
jury, and no attempt is ever made to
prosecute the lynchers. A few months
ago a white man outraged negro
woman, and two colored men avenged
the crime by adopting the custom of
the whites. They were arrested, tried,
and sentenced to be hung, when Gov.
RICHARDSON interposed with an exec
utive pardon and set the colored lynch
ers at liberty. In explanation of his
conduct he refers to the custom among
the white people of South Carolina.
which has gained the force of law, and
says that during his administration the
colored people shall enjoy the same i'm
munities that are accorded the white
citizens

AN ACTIVE GOVERNOR.

GOV. MELLETTE is a man who does
not let the grass grow under his feet.
He is evidently believer in the Script
ural proverb that whatsoever one findeth
to do shall be done with might. When
he came in as territorial governor of
Dakota for brief term, about the only
thing of Importance that he found to do
in connection with the performance of
executive duties was to turn the Demo-
Gratis out and fill the Offices with Repub-
licans. The Dakota politicians who so
unanimously agreed upon MELLETTE' 5
selection for territorial governor prob
ably knew his peculiar ability in this
line; and if so, they have not been dis
appointed in their man. He has been
making things whiZZ since he got into
office, and a fairly clean sweep has been
made in an incredibly short time.
Now that the governor has completed
the work Of official removals, and has
his friends fixed. at least so far as the
Offices held out, we are moved to re-
mind him that there is work vet be-
fore him of still greater consequence
than the one he has been so Industrious
ly engaged in. 1t is work that carries
with it the grayest responsibility and
one that will require the exercise of a
genuine craftsmanship. 1t is the super
lntendence of the creation Of two great
states, and is work that requires the
services of a man who can rise above
paltry partisan considerations, and who
can look beyond the present into the
future. 1t is not for to-day. or for this
year, or for this administration that the
work of statemaking is done. 1t is for
all time, for when the Republican and
the Democratic parties shall have been
long dead and forgotten, the two bright
est stars in the national constellation
vided they start right in their career of
statehood.
1t falls to Gov. MELLETTE's lot to
have the supervision of the work of con-
struction, and to him more than to any
other man comes the opportunity TO
earn fame for himself and greatness for
the DakOtas. His position is one Of in
fiuence which can be beneficially eX-
erted in shaping wise policy for the
two states. 1t seems to Us that a man
so situated would be actuated by the
sole ann and purpose of securing for the
two states that are soon to be carved
out of the territory over which he pre-
sides, good constitutions and good local
government. With such a high and
noble purpose in view, we fail to see
how valuable time can be wasted in
looking after partisan affairs, or ener-
gieS be misdirected in trying to make a
success of the SpOilS system.

FEDERAL GERRY WANDERING.

A Baltimore paper is authority for
the statement that the Republicans
have scheme in elaboration to swell
their majority in congress into sure
proportions. 1t is held that the consti-
tuition authorizes congress to take in
hand at any time the arrangement of
the districts. which has always been
lett to the states. In states that send
all Republicans of course no improve
ment can be had. but in the Democratic
and mixed states it is presumed that
more districts can be arranged to send
Republicans. With a scheme of this
sort and the control of the elections
given entirely into the hands of federal
agents, as contemplated in the proposed
Senator SHERMAN bill, there ought to
be assurance of the triumph of the
pure principles of the party of BLAINE.

SHOOTING AT THE DEVIL.
A Religious Crank" Makes

A Religious Crank" Makes
Things Lively in San Francisco.
San Francisco Examiner
John Clifford, religious crank, had
what he termed ''spell'' on him early
yesterday morning, and made matters
very lively in the back yard of lodg-
lng-ho use Oh Mission street near Ninth.
He got out of bed about O'Clock, at
tired only in his night robes, grabbed a
revolver, and, running into the back
yard, opened fire at pile of rubbish,
and declared that it was the devil.
9TH put him downr' he shouted.
''I'm Sam Jones, | am, and was sent
here to kill the devil.''
His aim at the rubbish pile was wild,
and number of bullets came near find
ing Judgment in the bodies of neigh
borS who came out to see what was up.
Officers Hawkins and Hankey made a
flank movement on the craZed man and
grappled him from behind, but not soon
enough to prevent him from firing
another shot, the bullet finding a lodg-
ment i'll the fieShy part of the shooters
leg, and intlicting slight wound.
After his wound was dressed at the
receiving hospital he was taken before
the commissioners of lunacy.
II am suffering from too much re-
lion-too much Sam JONES'" he said to
the doctor.

ton Army two or three months, and

obtained such hold on me that last
night | went clear off my head. | must
have jumped out of bed while | was
asleep and took a revolver from my
valise, for [ dimly remember pointing
it at my leg and discharging it."
Turning up his trousers, he displayed
lacerated wound.

tinued. "All l want is something to
strengthen my nerves and enable me to
get over this religious fever. You see.
when man gets his head chock full of
the belief that the world is full of wick
edness and woe, it makes him unfit for
anything else, and he is, practically
speaking, lunatic.

CALLED ARMIES A CRANK.
Testimony of Maj. Carson Before
the Court Martial


WASHINGTON, April 19.--Before the
Armes court martial to-day, number
of witnesses were examined as to the
expulsion of Armes from the Inaugural
ton day parade. and the assault on
Gov. Beaver in the Briggs house. Sew
eral witnesses testified to the good
character of ArmeS. Maj. Carson. cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger,
testified that he had known Capt.
Armes for fully ten years. Previous to
the Inauguration he met Gen. Hastings
frequently. Upon one occasion Hast
ings asked him if he knew man
named Armes. Witness said that
he did know him, and on being
asked what kind of man he was,
replied that Armes was a ''crank."
Hastings said that Armes had been in
vited to be one of the aides on Gen.
Beavers staff, and that some of the
army officers had objected to him as
disreputable character. Witness told
Hastings that having made the mis-
take of putting ArmeS on the staff he
him off. ''What do you mean by
erank?" asked Judge Hubbell. 81 use
the word as it is generally employed, as
1t might be used in saying that Edison
was crank, or Bismarck was crank.
There are two kinds of cranks-general
cranks and special cranks." The major
did not attempt to classify Capt. ArmeS.
He said that he told Hastings that the
officers of the army had an intense pre-
ludice against ArmeS, and he explained
his record to him as far as he knew it.
In his opinion Armes' name was ON the
list of aides up to that time.

anchors, boats. ETC., and the submarine
boats for which proposals were re-

there would be deficit of about $780,

powerful vessel were accepted. The
next move of the department. if the re-
port be accepted by the secretary, will
be to readvertise for proposals, and if
that fails. to secure a reduction, then to
appeal to congress for an increase in
the limit of total cost.
