The most heartless swindle that
has come under our observation for
a long time, was that perpetrated
upon two german girls just landed
in this country, by scamp of the
same nationality. The girls were
bound for Chicago, and neither
could speak a word of English.
They were accosted by one of their
own countrymen on their arrival
at Castle Garden and told that
they could get tickets to Chicago
three dollars cheaper outside, and
he would 60 with them. He took
them to a station on one Of the ele-
waited railroads where they each
gave him $40; he gave them two
five cent tickets, put them aboard
train and babe them good bye, for
Chicago. When the poor girls
reached Harlem they could hardly
be made to comprehend what a
cruel swindle had been perpetrated
upon them.

THE fool financiers Oyerin Franc,

THE fool financiers overin France
who have dropped $30,OOO.OO0 try
ing to corner copper, would do we'll
to come over to America for points
and become more enlightened on
the corner racket. The French have
spent about $3OO,O0O,OOO trying to
dig ditch, no small percentage Of
which money has found its way into
American pockets for explosives,
food supplies, dredging machinery,
and in payment Of American con-
tractors. American copper mine
owners it would seem, have had the
best Of the dealin the copper corner.
So take it all around, we can afford
to pat the Bourse operators on the
back and encourage them to hit it
again.

TROUBLE with Indians in Dakota
is getting to be of very frequent oc.
currence. The latest news Of such
trouble comes from Washburn, Da.
kota. 1t says that couple of trap.
pers named Williams, went up the
Little Missouri a few weeks ago
trapping. The second morning af.
ter they went into camp they found
that their traps had been visited
and the game taken out. The next
night Tom, one Of the brothers, le-
manned out to watch for the thieves.
In the night his brother was awak-
ened by several shots and sprang
out of bed in the cabin to see Tom
fall across the threshold corpse.
Fifteen Indians came up and opened
fire on the survivor Williams pro-
tected himself as we'll as he could,
and began firing on the Indians
with two heavy revolvers and, ac-
cording to the dispatch received,
managed to kill eleven of the Indi-
ans, when the other four fed. Al
though very seriously wounded,
Williams managed to bury his
brother, and drifted down the river
III a boat to Fort Stevenson.

In every administration there is
always some one person that has
more influence than anyone else in
securing appointments. Russell B.
Harrison seems to be the individ-
ual whose wishes are to have great
weight with the present executive,
in territorial affairs at least. It is
said to be through his Intervention
that Idaho's demands have received
such prompt attention, when it
seemed for while that they could
not be reached this session on ac-
count OF pressure of other business,
and it was by his help that Dele

ing the appointment of Governor

say that Mrs. Cannon. the wife of a
settler living near the Dakota line,
was in town asking help in rescu-
ing her husband from the Dakota
Indians. Cannon and number
Of other men were captured by a
vigilance committee a couple Of
weeks ago on suspicion of being
cattle-thieves. The committee fin

THE HAYTIAN SITUATION,
A Decided Stand Said to Have Been
Taken by Secretary Blaine.
RUMoRs AS TO A COMMISSION TO LOOK AFTER
AMERICAN INTEREsTs-A WASHINGTON MAN
TALKED OF AS ONE OF The COMMISSIONERS


TALKED OF AS ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS.
There is a growing faith in the report that
Secretary Blaine has taken a decided stand in
regard to the Haytian situation, and intends to
send a commission down to the islands on
board of an American man-of-war to keep a
watchful eye on American interests there in
case Legitime succeeds in securing an alliance
with some European power.
THE BOSTON AND THE ossIPEE ORDERED TO HAyr1
Secretary Tracy admitted last evening that
he had decided to send the Boston and the Os-
sipee to Hayti, but stated that the sending of
the ships was not done at the request of the
State department, but was merely for the pur-
pose OF relieving the ships of the squadron.
He said he knew nothing about the appoint
ment OF commissioners to Hayti.
AS TO THE COMMISSION.
Gossip is busy constructing the commission,
of which Representative Hit was first said to
be the head. Then there was rumor that he
had declined and that Gen. Lew Wallace would
go In his place. A newspaper man said to-day
that he had positive information that place
ingtonian who has an Office next to that
of the Attorney-General and possesses a fund
OF information as to Haytan affairs.
Senator Eustis, in a recent interview, ex-
preSsSu tlle lear tIal was coming out
of the Haytian situation. He said that the
Haytians are still sore over the Haytian Repub-
lie controversy, and will be inclined to do all
in their power to harass the United States.
THE PROBABLE COMMISSIONER.
The gentleman referred to as being
possible, even probable commissioner
to Hayti, having an extensive acquaint-
ance with Haytian affairs and occupying
an Office next to the Department of
Justice, is Alex. Porter Morse. who was re-

States ana Hayti. A STAR reporter informed

MR.. MORSE DECLARED
that he really knew nothing about it. He said
that he had but a slight knowledge of the
present situation, and was not able to talk
about the question. In answer to a query as
to whether it might be considered by other
powers a hostile act for the United States
to send a commission TO Hayti. he said that he
preferred not to give definite reply, but cited
the case of Mr.. Mann. who was sent to Austria
during the Austro-Hungarian difficulties as a
special commissioner from this country. The
other governments he said made several sharp
inquiries as to the mission of this gentleman,
which were finally satisfactorily answered

MIR. LINCOLN'S PRESENTATION,
He will meet England's Queen To-Mor-

LONDON, May 24.-Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, the
new American minister, will leave here for
Windsor at lao o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
when he viii be presented to the queen.
Mr.. Lincoln will be conveyed from the rail-
way station at Windsor TO the castle in the court
carriage. It will not be possible for Lord Sails
bury to present the new minister to the queen
as he is to preside at a meeting of the cabinet
which has been summoned for tomorrow, and
that duty will therefore devolve upon Wis.,
count Gross, secretary of state for
India. Mr.. White, of the American legation,
will accompany Mr.. Lincoln to Windsor, but
will not be present at the presentation to the
queen. Mr.. Lincoln will make no set speech
on the occasion, NOR viii the queen make Q set
reply. They win merely exchange compli-
ments and express the hope that the friendship
at present existing between Great Britain and
the United States viii continue.

IRISH ENICTIoNS.
Determined Resistance Expected on the
Olphert Estates.

LONDON, May 24-AdvIces from ireland state
that hard times are expected to-day on the
Olphert estates in County Donegal. The ten
ants are prepared to resist the evictors. and
news is expected shortly of determined fight.
A large body of police and military has gone
there. II any blood is shed to-day Mr. T. w
Russell, the unionist, who persuaded Mr.. Oh
phert not to arbitrate III regard TO the rental
disputes, may thank himself for the havoc he
has wrought.
HOUSING THE WORKING CLASSES.
The national press agency has published a
pamphlet from the pen OF NJ. Theodore TODD
on the subject Of the proper housing of the
working classes. 1t is by far the best and most
simple treatise yet published on this subject.
and will. it is hoped give an impetus to the
bill Mr.. Reid has before parliament providing
for the building of workmen's dwellings by
corporations by means OF levying a penny in
the pound upon owners of ground rents.
FOREIGN PENNY POST.
Mr.. Hennicker- -Heaton, conservative member
Of parliament for Canterbury, still continues his
agitation for foreign penny post. He is engaged
at present in upholding the rights of the Anglo
Indian and incidentally those Of the human race
at large, to penny postage. 1t IS rather an
anomaly that postage to India should still be
five pence. and an absurdity that SO many firms
should be obliged to actually post their letters
in France, because the postage there is only
half as much as from England. The reason
for the present high rate is that no chancellor
of the exchequer dares face the increased ex-
penditure such a plan would at first involve
Mr. Heaton insists that in short time the in
creased mail would cover the additional ex-
pense of reduction in the rate.
IMMIGRATION IN EAST INDIA
The East Indies are not SO rabidly opposed
to foreign immigrants as has been popularity
supposed, if one can judge from the reports of
of the immigration committee recently ap-
pointed by parliament. The committee expect
to prove that the extent of the immigrations is
exaggerated that the immigrants have pro-
moted trade by the introduction of new indus
tries; and that as many Englishmen emigrate
as poor foreigners immigrate. A little investi-
CATION has already shown that the food of Ger
man workmen is not SO large as reported.
