AMENDING THE MINING LAWS.

Senator Ste wart, who is the author o.!
tho Actof Congress Of May, 1872, to en-
courage tho development of tho mineral
resources Of tho United States, desires
to amend the Act in every particular
tbat time indicates a. necessary or bene.
fetal. The fact that the Act has stood
for seventeen years without amendment
proves that its author had correct ideas
aud thorough knowledge Of the re-
quirements of the mining States. The
original of this bill passed the Senate
in May, 1888. It was extensively COM
melted upon by mining men generally,
and the press of the mining StnteE. 1t
has been re-drafted by Ssnator Stewart,
with somo notifications suggested by
the House Committee on Mining, and
it will be re-introduced by him at the
next session of Congress. Tho Senn-
tors Private Secretary, IsSao Frohman.
who is now in Washington. writes that
the Senator is very anxious to have the
provisions of the bill fully Understood
and criticised by all Interested in min
ing, with tho view Of making it ms com
plste and satisfactory AZ possible.
As the Senator will be- travelling with
tho Committee on Water Storage for the
next two months. l tiers relating to the
hill should be addressed to Hon. w. NJ.

A SENSATION SPOILED.
The Remains of an Infant Discovered on
the Wharf.

The Remains of an Infant Discovered on
the Wharf.
Quite furry wes caused in police cir
cles yesterday morning by the announce
ment that the remains of an infant had
been discovered on the wharf at the foot ol
Twelfth street, and that criminal carry
ings-on Of a somewhat sensational nature
were awaiting development by the au
thorities.
A little investigation showed that what.
ever wrOng-doing there might be rested
upon the shoulders of some of the inmates
of the Italian boarding house, at the cor
ner of Twelfth and Water streets, and
thither several police, Justice W. II. Davis
and Others repaired. Coroner Schultze,
who had been sent for, arrived, and an
examination of the human remains showed
them to be fetus in about three or
four months stage.
After the inmates of the boarding house
had been questioned, the matter was mar
rowed down to a group OF four Arabs, who
are boarding in the place with about forty
Italisns, and further sitting resulted in
ascertaining that woman, wife of an
Arab who goes by the adopted name of
James Brien, was the mother. She had
become sick as the result of overwork, and
the fotus had been inferred on the wharf,
short distance south of Twelfth street,
as the easiest and best way of getting rid
of it. AS precautionary measure, Brien
was sent to Jail, but as nothing of GRIM
inal nature bad been found against him up
to last night, he will probably be released
to day.
The Arabs who figure in the case are a
recent importation, and hail from Psles-
tine, in the neighborhoOd of Jerusalem.
Their lingo was poser for the officers,
and some trouble was had in procuring an
interpreter.

p-as,dant Carnot Gives Minister Reid an
Audience and Makes Some Remarks.
PARIS, May 2l.-Pre1ident Carnot to-
day gave an audience to Mr.. White-a"
Reid. the American minister, who presen-
ted his credentials. In his remarks MI
Reid assured President Carnot that ne
would endeavor to maintain and stiulate
the esteem which President Harrison ana
the whole American people held Tor
France.
"It is my good fortunate" " said Mr..
Reed 10 represent America here when
France is celebrating centenary as
important as the centenary lately ceieora-
ted in America. Wed do not forget tnat you
helped in the success OF our revolution.
This increases our interest in the magniil
cent display of the arts Of peace with
which YOU nobly crown your cetenary.
NV instructions inform me that there
does not exist the shadow of difference
between France and the United States
canable of obecuring the centenary old
friendship Of the two republics Thioh,
hope, will always eudure."
President Carnot, in reply to Mr.. Iteid's
remarks. said that he received with pleas
ure the letters sccrediting Mr.. Reid TO
France. There existed between France
and the United States bonds and traditions
which impaired to their relations an espec'
ially agreeable character. The coincidence
Of the centennaries of Washington lnaug-
uration and that of the meeting oi the
states general of France in 1873 was an
other link binding the nations together;
Mr.. Reid, President Carnot said, womb ma
that the French government and oil French
men would extend to him cordial greeting
and would do all In their power to make nis
mission easy and agreeable. We applaud
the astonishing progress made during
single century by the great American Re
public, as you applaud the work OF peace
n which we have invited the world. Ami
mated by the came sentiments, attached
n the same sentiments, attached TO the
same Institution, pursuing the common
idea of democratic progress and social JUS
tice. we cannot cease to understand one
another on the grounds Of international re-
lations. Your task therefore will De

O'BRIEN ON THE STAND
HR GIVES A DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THB
AGRARIAN 0UTRAGBs.
The National Land League Prevented Wholesale
Famine and Fearful War in the West Of
Irslsrd in iS7O-Hs Approves
Of BOycoting.

LONDON, May 21.-Mr. William O'Brien
testified before the Parnell Commission to-
day. The court room was crowded and
the witness was listened to with great at
tention. Owing TO Mr.. 0'Brien's condi-
ton. the result of his long imprisonment,
he was allowed to remain seated. In
weak voice, which II was difficult TO hear
beyoud the counsel's table, the witness
gave a detailed account Of agrarian out
RACES perpetrated in County Tipperary
nr,or 10 the formation of the National
| League in that district. The League, said
the witness, after it was established, pre-
vented a wholesale famine and fearful
war in the West of Ireland in 1870. The
witness declared that no murders had been
committed in Tpperary since the League
had formed breach there.
Mr.. O'Brien described the wretched con-
dition of the people in l. Gland prior to the
formation Of the League. They were in
debt up to their necks, he said, and had
absolutely no redress against the exactiOns
of the landlords. The troubles after 1870
arose from the universal movement Of the
landlords to take advantage of the two
wears allowed by the act of 1870 to get rid
of small tenants and thus save the payment
of compensation. The condition Of Affairs
in Mayo when Mr.. Davitt formed the
League there was appalling. Wholesale
famine and bankruptcy seemed unsuitable.
Farmers sold everything at dead loss.
The landlords did nothing to alleviate the
distress. They denied that any distress
existed.
Mr.. O,Brien stated that he approved
boycotting. He believed it prevented
crime.
Mr.. Reid. of counsel for the Parnellitss,
read an article from United ireland de-
nouncing the Phoenix Park murders and
asserting that the sssassns. If discovered,
would be more likely to be lynched 10
Dublin than in London.
Mr. O'Brien said that the anger ex-
pressed in the article was undoubtedly
genuine. The view af the Nstionalists
was that the Government should pursue
policy of Cancellation and thus obtain the
PEOPLES sympathies with the law, but the
members of the Government lost their
heads and passed a strong coercion meas
ure under which the country has been
terribly disturbed for three years. The
Government in 1882 suppressed Un'ted
Ireland because witness charged the Gov
e-ment in that paper with getting mp
crime. of which charge he was perfectly
prepsred TO prove. Mr.. OBrien attempt
ed 10 enter into the details OF the alleged
outraees instigated by the government,
but Attorney General Webster Objected,
and his objection was sustained by the
Court.
The Commission then adjourned.

Mosquitoes in swarms set the men to

A NUMBER WERE SLAIN.
Soldiers, Cowboys and Indians Attack .
Band OF BIOods.


WINNIPEG, MANN, May 21.-Word
has been received here of fight which
took place near Fort Mcleod, last week,
between band of Blood Indians on one
side and force compc9ed of soldiers, cow
boys and Grosventres on the other.
The BlOods have lately been stealing
horses fr, m the Grosventres, and the lat
ter, assisted by soldiers and cowboys,
made an effort TO recover the stolen ami
mails.
AS usual, the stories as to the number OF
killed are conflicting, but it is certain that
quite large number we're slain. Most OF
the bodies were carried away by friends OF
the fallen, but three or four were discover
ed on the field, minus scalps. The Bloods
appear to have gotten the worst of the en-
counter. They got away with most of the
stolen horses, and are now closely follow
ed by mounted police. Another encounter
is likely to take place when the police
come up TO them, and serious trouble is
feared. 1t is alleged that American In
dians in Montana are going to the BloOds'
assistance.
