THE main question between Eng land and the United States in. the Behring sea dispute has been set tied. Sir Julian PauEceforte, in behalf of her Britanic Majesty, con- cedeS to the United States the own ership and control of the Behring sea, or at least so much of it as lies east of an imaginary line drawn from the middle Of the straits to the westernmost island of the Aleu- tian archipelago, and on the other hand Mir. Blaine, on behalf of the United States, comedies that the United States had no right to de- tain the British sealers without first having warned them not to enter those waters. The question of dam ages remains to be determined, and young MT. Tupper, who has charge of the case at Ottawa, has come here to inform the British Minister on the subject.

That Montana Man Again.

Chicago, March 3.--Richard A.E. Goebler of Butte, Mont, who sev- eral months ago was bunkoed out of $1 800 in New York city, arrived in Chicago to-day looking for John son, one of the bunkoerS whom he traced to this place.
 Goebler, who had placed the mat ter in the hands of the police, thought they were too slow, and started out to capture the swind- lers himself.
 He arrested three of them, includ- ing Johnson, whom he captured at the point of a revolver in front of the Astor House. Johnson secured straw bail" and fed

The ApacheS.

Now comes the report that the Apaches at San Carlos are getting ready to make raid, if they are not already on the war path.
 For some time a number of them have been acting surly. It is said that about ten days ago when ra- tions were to be served several of the chiefs came into camp with a lot of tickets representing absent bucks, wanted to draw rations on them, when they were told to go and bring in the bucks to whom the tickets belonged. They refused to do so and tore up the tickets in the presence of the issue agent and returned to the mountains.
 Now comes the second act. The intelligence comes that a freighter has been killed by the Apaches near Fort Thomas, and his horses taken. The telegraph line has been cut so as to retard communications. This all looks suspicious. It looks bad, and it becomes the duty of those who have friends in exposed places to send them word immedi- ately. Ranchers and miners should be on their guard. They cannot be too careful. It is more than probable that that if there Is an emute from the reservation, the stealing of the stock from the Cam eron ranch last week was the work of the advance guard of these marauders, and if this be cor rect surmise, they are preparing to make stay of it in the Sierra Mad res for some months to come. There has been bad blood brewing on the reservation during the last six months, and the escape of the h. dian prisoners who murdered Sher- if Reynolds and Deputy Holmes has probably given on. impetus to the outbreak.-Star.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: The chances for admitting territories in a block in the present congress are not favorable. "Om- nibus" territorial bills cannot be successfully engineered through congress more than once in a cen tury, and that once is too often. Idaho and Wyoming will probably be admitted this year, but the claims of each, as is eminently proper, will be considered separately and on their merits. Arizona and New especially the former, will scarcely come in during the lifetime of the Fifty-frst Congress.

Kept 8R the Reservation.

The office of Indian Affairs has issued instructions to Major c. E. Vandever, agent to the Navajos, to immediately take energetic and pro per steps to keep the members of that tribe, with the exception of those who have settled upon lands outside of the reservation for the purpose of taking homesteads, with in the limits of their reservation, and to return rowing Indians to the reservation. This means plenty of work for the agent for the next six months.
 It is estimated that at least one third of the tribe are at present off the reservation, and that about one- third of these are settled upon, land which they intend to take as home steads. This will leave nearly 5000 who will have to move back on the reserve. Major Vandever intends to commence the work as soon as possible, and will push 1t vigorous ly until it is complete. He will give the matter his personal attention, and as it is a step which he has re- peatedly urged upon the depart ment, he can be relied upon to do his whole duty, and do it well.-Al- buouer0ue Citizen.

Valuable Plant.

Science Is continually gouging around in Mexico making new and discoveries. One of the latest important discoveries is that of a plant which, although 1t Is found in great abundance, promises to prove very valuable. This plant Is known as the Pembotana, the root of which Is said to contain a substance similar to, but more powerful than quinine in it's anti periodic action. It has been found to cure rebellious Intermittent fe- vers that had resisted the action of quinine.

Exciting Scenes.

Guthrie, I. T., March 5.-The
 prospect of the early delivery of the Cherokee strip to home seekers is attracting a large number of "boomers." The Walnut river, from Arkansas City to the northern boundary of the strip, is already lined with "boomers," and arrivals occur every day. The rush into the Cherokee lands will equal that into Oklahome. At this place, the southern boundary of the strip, boomers are beginning to arrive in large numbers. who are choosing the banks of the Cottonwood river as q temporary homestead The recent ''norther," with it's severe cold, caused some suffering among the poorly housed people, but no fatalities have been reported. The ''boomers" who camped around Guthrie wIil have a double chance of securing free land, one chance at the Cherokee strip and another at

Allen helloed at him two or three times to stop, which he failed do, when Allen. fired two sh0tss and seeing the man was about to get away, fired a third shot. Allen notified Agent Brown and Deputy sheriff Black who went to the scene Of'ac- ton and found the trunk bursted open, and traced the footsteps of the party down by Frank Wander lips house. They found a shotgun, coat and vest, hunting shirt, some handerchiefs, socks, etc. which had been taken from the trunk and scattered along the tracks of the party who burSted open the trunk. Mir.

SAYS the Tuscon Star Boss Platt, Quay and Harrison have done up the republican party in fine shape in the Worlds Fair proposition, if it be true that they all pulled for Chicago, it is conceded it gives New York certain to the democracy, Now the strong pull is to have the senate defeat the house bill. Well, suppose it does, then what? That makes the west hostile to the repub- licanssenate. The situation from a political standpoint is simply re- freshing. The Worlds Fair started out as a republican boom, but the party will be crushed by it in 1892 ; that Is the way it looks just now.

The Montana Senators.

This is the way the World meas ures up the Montana muddle: The senate elections committed cannot seat the republican claim- ants from Montana without con- sciously committing a crime against the suffrage.
 This is one of the simplest con- tests which a legislative body was ever called upon to declde. The issue in the senate rests upon the right of five members of the state house of representatives to their seats. The five democrats who were unseated by a partisan state board acting beyond it's jurisdic- tion were voted for &t the same ton at which the sheriff of Silver Bow county was chosen. Party lines were drawn and the voters for representatives and sheriff were the same. The election was held under the Australian system, and the democrats carried the county. The verdict of the people was reversed by the throwing out of precinct which was nearly unanimously democratic. Since the contest be- gan there have been found only three men who will swear that they voted the republican ticket.
 When the precinct was thrown out the democratic candidate for sheriff carried the case into court, and 1t was decided that the vote of precinct No. 34 must be counted. The evidence was so clear, the title of the sheriff was so indisputaDle that the court ordered tAe clerk to issue the certificate of election.
 It was while the mechanical pro- cess of counting this vote was go- ing on that Montana ceased to be a territory and became a State by a proclamation which Mir. Harri- son issued for the purpose of con- summating a fraud.
 In the contest before the Senate the Republican members of that body are asked to participate in the Presidents crime. There is no es- cape from this proposition. If the Senate does not give their seats to Mir. Maginnis and Mr. Clark it will be guilty of an outrage such as has rarely stained the annals of the less deliberate and judicial House of Representatives. If the Senate is guilty of this crime the party in power is prepared to de- eide in favor of any Republican candidate for Congress who will file a notice of contest.

There Is one great hindrance to the settlement of the lands along the line of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad in this county, and that is this, the land Is not surveyed. The company owns every alternate sec ton for forty miles on each side of the road, and often the settler is at a loss to know whether he is loca- ting railroad or government lands Congress could do nothing than would affect the best interest of the settlers of this part of Arizona than to provide for the surveying of the land along this line. - Flagstaff Democrat.
 The railroad company, perhaps, does not want the land surveyed :; if they were the tax payers would ask the company to pay taxes on them, which the aforesaid company is decidedly averse to doing. In fact, it claims to be, exempt from taxation in any shape, manner or form yet it's learned legal adviser is compromising the company's taxes, and paying the five per cent penalty for delinquency. The old saying, consistency thou art jewel" applies in this case.

The San Juan Trouble.

turned to his agency at Fort Def ance, Arizona, from a trip to that
 portion of the Navajo reservation lying along the San Juan river,
 where he made thorough investi- gation of the recent Indian trou-
 bles in that locality. During his visit there he called council which
 was attended by all the head men
 and most influential Indians resi- ding in that region. From the h.
 dians who were present and wit messed the killing by John Cox,
 the following particulars were learn ed:
 Thez-chifla, a Navajo of Casti-
 anas band, with two male compan- ions, three squaws and a boy, start ed Dec. 25, on deer hunt in San Juan county. They killed four deer. which they had packed on their ponies on the morning of the 26th, and were preparing to start for home, when John Cox and three companions rode up to their camp, and after staying around a short went their way. 4 short time after their departure Thez-chilla missed a blanket, and his party started af- ter the Cox crowd to recover it.. Upon overtaking them a war of words ensued. The pony of one of the Navajos fell, and in doing so discharged a rifle accidentally which was hung to the saddle Upon this, : he Indians claim that Cox and his party opened lire on them, shooting Thez-chilla in the breast, Killing him instantly. His companions fled, not firing shot, and escaped funhurt. When they returned to their homes the news of the killing soon spread, but there was no undue excitement, nor were threats of an outbreak made at any time.
 The Indians sent word to Agent Vandever, asking him to go up and confer with them, and at the same time stated that they were perfectly willing to abide by his decision in the matter. They repudiate as a falsehood the statement made that they offered to remain in peace and let the matter drop if paid s200, or any other sum, but declare that such an offer was made to them by white men who have good reason to in terest themselves in the matter. The Navajos insist that they want no trouble with their white ncighbors, but they insist that the killing of Thez -chilla receive the attention which 1t deserves; that Cox should be indicted for the killing that he should have a fair and impartial trial, and if guilty that he should be punished as the law prescribes, but if, on the other hand, he is in- nocent, he should be acquitted.
 No luther trouble over this mat ter is anticipated by Agent Van dever. He has his Indians thorough Iy under control, and never makes a request of them which is not cheerfully granted. In addition to this the NavajOs are accommodating stock and property, of which they have learned to appreciate the val ue, and will take no foolish chance of loosing it by becoming involved with their white neighbor5.-Albu- ouoroua Citi7an
