TRIP OF THE CHARLESTON.
RepO,t OF the Trial Board in Sec
retary Tracy's Hands,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The report
of the trial board on the recent official
trip of the cruiser Charleston, which
was received from San Francisco yester-
day, has been referred to the chiefs of
the bureaus of construction and engi-
neering for report as to whether or not
the tests were satisfactory. This is
perfuDctOry operation, neceSsitated by
the rules of the department, and there
is no doubt but that the secretary will
order the acceptance of the vessel before
the end of the week. Secretary Tracy
to-day issued a circular modifying
the advertisements issued from
the navy department in August
inviting proposals tor the con-
structIon of THREE vessels for
the navy of 1000 t. rs displacement
each. The modification is such as to
permit bidders who may desire to offer
to construct more than one of the yes
sells to embrace in one proposal either
two or three of the vessels. Bidders in
Guiding more than one vessel in their
proposal will not be required to submit
a certified check exceeding $4,000 In
amount. This change is made to enable
bidders to make composite offers, by
which means they may be enabled to
give lower figures on more than one
ship than on one alone. Under the first
advertisement. which brought no ac-
ceptable bids, this was possible, but in
readyertising the form was so worded
as to force bidders to give separate bids
for each ship. thus running the risk OF
having all but one of their bids re-
Jected, while they really could build all
of the cruisers at once

GIVEN TO THE JURY.
Napoleon Ives Case Turned Over
to Twelve Men.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-When District
Attorney Fellows had concluded his adj
dress in the Ives case this afternoon,
the recorder began his charge to the
Jury. The recorder carefully reviewed
the testimony in the case. He referred
to Woodruff as self-confessed per-
Jurer, and said that it was for the Jury
themselves to determine what part of
his testimony should be believed. The
recorder said there seemed no doubt,
but that an overissue of Cincinnati
Hamilton & Dayton stock had been
made with intent to defraud, and that
the jury should decide whether or.
not the evidence connected Ives
with this fraudulent transaction; !;
they should also carefully consider.
whether the testimony showed that the
fraud was committed in Brooklyn or in.
New York. The recorder closed his,
charge by telling the jury to lay aside
all prejudice and consider only the
facts. At 5:25 the jury retired, and at.
s:45 the jury came in and asked to have
a portion of the recorders charge re-
peated. The recorder ordered the STEM.
Ographer to read that part of the charge
to the jury. Mr.. Brooke interrupted
the reading with an objection. The re-
corder severely informed Mr.. Brooke
that when he ordered a thing done it
was going to be done. Mr.. Brooke
apologized, but took an exception. The
reading of the charge was proceeded
with. The particular part selected by
the Jury was very severe upon Ives.
The Jury retired again after the reading
had concluded. At IL S5 the jury was
locked up for the night.

American Cattlemen Suffer From
49, the Great Strike,

:
sWAsHINGToN, Sept. 2s.-The United
States consul general at London, Hon.
John G. New, in dispatch to the state
department, calls attention to the pecu-
liar hardship suffered by American cat
tiefnen owing to the great strike in Lon
don. He says:
In connection with the strike there is one
feature that deserves special mention. 1t
has been the custom for many years for
large consignmentssof cattle to be shipped
here In the care of men who are paid small
sum upon reaching this port and are given
a pass emitting them to a return passage on
the same vessel, which generally starts upon
its return in a week. This pass can be ex-
changed for its cash. equivalent, about f3,
the expense of steerage passage 10 New
York. AS the strike prevents the unloading
or reloading of these vessels, they cannot re-
turn at the time specified, ana as a conse-
quence these cattlemen are left here desti-
tute and unprovided for unless they sell
their passes TO provide means of liv-
ing. and if they do this they have
no way of returning to their homes. They
are under no obligations, moral or legal, to
assist in the unloading of vessels, and an at
tempt on their part TO do this is attended
with danger of serious personal violence at
the hands of the strikers. During the past
these cattlemen at this Office asking that
either provide them means of living or re-
turn passage, or compel the steamship COM
panies to do 1t. My inability to do either has
caused considerable trouble and complaint.

account. Some of these cattlemen, think,
are the men who have displayed American
hags in the procession OF the strikers"

TRAIN IN TROUBLE.
He Is Jailed in Boston for an Old
Debt.

Boston. Sept. 24.-George Francis
Train was arrested at noon to-day in
his room at the fremont house, and is
now in custody of Sheriff Fitzpatrick.
He was arrested on writ sworn out by
o. NJ. Spiller on judgment note for
$1,000. Spiller belongs in Toledo. Mr..
Train says that in 1872 he guaranteed
$40 for John A. Liant, editor of the To-
ledo Sun, to buy type with. Liant told
him he would not be called upon to pay
the amount, and simply asked him to
guarantee it. Spiller, Train says, is
pawnbroker, and he advanced some of
the money. In 1876 he got jugdment
against Train in Toledo for 500, and
four years later wanted to settle, so
Train says. for $50. Train says Liant
told him then that he had paid it all.
Spiller then got judgment for 1868, and
now, after thirteen years. comes with
the amount swollen to $1,000. When
asked if he intended to pay it, Train
said: "Of course I'll go to JAIL"
Train was taken before Judge Healy,
of the poor debtor session of the mu-
nicipal court. He declined the assist
ance of lawyers, and as he refused to
give bonds or take the poor debtors
oath, he was committed to the county
Jail and later taken to that institution.
He declared that he had desired an OPP
portunity to study the inside workings
of Massachusetts prisons.

NooRHEAD. Mimi. Sept. 24.-Hardly
had the excitement of Murderer
Browns hanging subsidized when re-
port came to the city that F. J. Schrei-
Der. a farmer living four miles south of
this city had been fouliy murdered at
o'clock this evening by his nephew,
John F. Schneider. John is young
man twenty-four years old, who has
been out West in the army and re-
turned this morning and went out to
his uneles farm. All day he acted
rather queer, and was evidently labor
ing the haIlucinatiOn that he was
a bad man. He told his uncle
that he believed that he had some Jesse
James blood in his veins, and said he
was under the influence of
SOME EVIL SPIRIT.
His uncle argued with him in vain.
Towards evening he told his uncle that
he would leave for town, but before he
left he went out to where Mr.. Schreiber
and gang of men were threshing, and
told his uncle that he wanted MIN TO eX-
plain certain transactions between his

Schreiber pulled from his pocket a
large ~ Colts navy revolver, and,
while his uncle had his back to him,
shot him twice in the back of the head
and neck. After shooting the murderer
fed in the direction of this city About
$3.50 the murderer was captured on the
south side of the bridge leading to this
city. On being searched he was found
to have his pockets full of cartridges.
He was locked up. and large, highly
excited crowd surrounded the jail. He
was interviewed by the correspondent
of the GLOBE, to whom he stated that
he was twenty-fOur years old, and had
arrived from the West this morning.
He visited his uncle and talked with
him all day, and could not make any
settlement of the trouble. The muir
derer stated that he was
RELATED TO THE JAMES BROTHERS,
and was a victim of wltchcraft. He
said mat he had sufficient trouble with
his uncle to justify the murder. He did
not express any regret at having COM
mitted the crime. The murdered man
was about fifty years old, a native of
PENNSYLVANIA and came to MOorhead
fifteen years ago. He owned the largest
farm in Clay county. and was a highly
respected and honored citizen. He
leaves a widow. The murderer was
captured by Policeman John Thompson.

banged here for the murder of Police
man PouIl. At 11:30 o'clock tonight
Chief of Police Sullivan and Sheriff
Jensen returned from the Schreiber
farm, and reported that Schreiber died
five minutes after being shot. The bull
lets entered his back, and went clear
through the body. 1t is stated on good
authority that there was some trouble
between the young man and his uncle
in regard to property, and this led to
the murder. Coroner Darrow will hold
an inquest in the case tomorrow mOrn-
ing.

Some -Lighl Thrown on the
FrauduIent Bond Mystery.

Fraudulent Bond Mystery.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 94.-Ex-Cashier
Stoddart has produced copy of let
ter written to him Jan. 19, 1888, from
Baton Rouge. to State Treasurer Burke.
in which he stated that thirty coupons
of the supposed destroyed bonds had
been presentation payment. The num-
berS of the coupons were given in the
letter. Mr.. StDddart says that Maj.
Burke telephoned him next day from
New Orleans: Have seen the party
and have arranged Mr.. Stoddart
showed the coupons to Receiving Clerk
Campbell, who resigned, being unwill-
ing to remain connected with the treas
urer's office in view of suchirregularity.
Maj. Burke prevailed on him to remain
Mr.. Stoddart did not resign, as his tern
was nearly out. 1t Mr. Stoddaft's
statement is accurate, it indicates a
knowledge of the coupon matter on
Maj. Burke's part six months before he
retired from the office of treasurer. .
Mr.. Stoddart also produced a tele-
1886, signed COckerton, reading:
Collected S3lO and deposited it to the gen.
eral account. Balance unstamped and bank
refuses to cash.
MIR. Stoddart explains this as follows:
Cockerton was Maj. Burke's business
manager in New Orleans. Burke had
gone to Honduras, leaving with StOddart
a sealed package of coupons, telling
him to send it to CockertOn whenever
the office needed money. Stoddart for
warded the package and received the
foregoing telegram. Soon after Burke's
return the rejected coupons came back
from Cockerton. Their face value was
81 Their numbers corresponded
exactly with the list of fraudulent cOup-
ons recently published. Stoddart says
he sent the rejected coupons over to
Burke. That was the last heard of
them. The clerks in, both the auditors
and treaSurer'S office are hard at work
investigating the bond matter. Auditor
Steele will investigate the Bailey bonds
thoroughly after he finishes the work
now in hand and will probably make
the result as part; OF. his official report.
There are no new Developments what
ever. In compliance with request
from the New Orleans stock exchange,
Capt Steel will forward to that body to-
morrow evening an official statementtof
the correct numbers of good constitu-
tiOnal bonds and like statement of

CHICAGO. Sept. PA Jack-the-Rip-
per case came to light in the little su-
burban town of Clyde this morning.
The mutilated body of man was found
lying on the prairie near that village.
The body was in sections, and not all of
it was there. The head was neatly sew
cred from the body and lay beside the
trunk from which all the vital organs
had been removed. Portions of the
limbs were ecattered about. 1t is pos
sible that the fragments have come
from a dissecting table. The coroner
will investigate. Guy Bennett, of
Clyde, says:
..The body was first seen by some children
on their way to school yesterday morning,
but the police did not hear of it until last
night some time. / and another boy saw the
body about o'clock. 1t was dark and we
could not see very plainly by lantern light.
One-half of the mans face as near as we
could tell, had been cut off, and the skin had
been removed from the upper part OF the
body. The hands seemed to have been cut
off at the wrists, and the fingers at the Sec

been dumped out of a wagon in a hurry. The
remains were stark naked, and presented

THE GREAT wokLD's FAIR.
Eastern Men Are in Favor of Chi
cago as the Site.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-W. E. Midgley,
vice president of the American Steam
Boiler Insurance Association of New
York. came to the worlds fair head
quarters this morning. Said he:
Much is to be gained by extending our busl
ness in the West and Northwest and this is
gradually becoming the sentiment OF New
York business men. To show you / am in
favor of Chicago, will insure all the worlds
fair;boilers and buildings for nothing and
give 81 900.
William McMurtrie Speer, secretary
of the New York Worlds exposition,
made friendly call ON the secretary
this morning. He is on his way West to
attend wedding; and, as the chairman
of the executive committee, Mayor
Cregier, while in the East, called on
Mayor Grant, he thought he would re-
ciprocate. He expressed the kindest
feelings for Chicago, and said that the
bitterness of the New York papers to
this city was not shared by the members
of his committee; that they recognized
Chicago's right to the exposition as
much as theirs; and, while he could not
speak for the committee, he had no
doubt but that if congress sanctioned
the holding of it at Chicago. New York
would do its best to make it
grand success. He mentioned
that the hOtelkeeperS of New
York had met and passed resolu-
tiOns not to raise their rates during the
fair. and they would raise whatever
amount of money was assigned them by
the finance committee. He stated that
there was no doubt that the money could
be readily raised, and that all necessary
funds for preliminary expenses and for
carrying on the exposition would be
Forthcoming whenever suitable plans
were determined upon. The difficulty,
he stated, was that their city could not
provide any money and the parks could
not be utilized until the Legislators
sanctioned the plan. He recognized
that while Chicago had many sites, they
had but one. but that one he thought
was satisfactory to the great majority of
New York people. and he had no doubt
but that its selection would be ratified
by the general committee.
HOLMES SUBSCRIBES LITERALLY.

Car company, to-day subscribed 100000

MAY SELECT OTHER LANDS.
Commissioners Stone Reverses
4 Stockslager's Decision in an Inn
y pOrtant Case.


= portant Case.
I WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The acting
commissioner of the general land Office
has granted motion to review the de-
eisien of Commissioner StOckSlager of
+ Feb. %, 1889, i'm which indemnity for
school lands in the SiletZ and Grande
Ronde Indian reservations was refused.
The law granting the school lands to
Oregon provides for indemnity in cases
where the lands are sold or otherwise
disposed of. Acting Commissioner Stone
holds that the sixteenth and thirty-Slxth
sections, which are within the bounda-
rieS of the two named reservations, are
disposed of within the meaning of the
law, and following the decision of Secre-
tary Lamar in the case of Colorado, he
holds that the state has the right to
select other lands in place thereof.
Acting Commissioner Stone, in closing
his decision, says:
1t is clear there is an apparent conflict in
judicial opinions as to the effect Of certain
school sections being within Indian reserva-
lions at the time of the taking effect of the
grant. / think the weight of opinion is that
q reservation for Indiars is disposal of the
land in the meaning of the act. Whether 1
am right or not in this point feel safe in
following the opinion of the secretary of the
interior in the Colorado case. The facts in
that case are similar to these, and therefore
revoke the decision of Feb, 3d. 1889, and
hold that the state of Oregon has the right to
Select indemnity for school sections lying
within the SletZ and Grande Ronde Indian
reservations. AS to all other questions
touching the selections and the lists they are
reserved for proper action under the law
when the lists come before the department
for approval.
s This decision is regarded as import
tant as it will govern in all similar cases.

different parts of the West,
