ATLANTA. GA, Oct. I5.-It would seem that
enemies of the law or land grabbers of Dodge
and other counties have the floor. The killing
OF Capt. J. C. Forsythe q few nights ago has
brought about another mater Of interest in con-
nection with their troubles. It is learned that
Messrs. James and Michael Brophy, who are
managing the turpentine and mercantile de-
partment of the Normantale lumber company
near Normandaie have been forced to leave.
ThIeIts, it is said, were made against these
gentlemen, and the r lives would have been
sacrificed, IS was that of Capt. Forsythe. James
Brophy has been shot at several times, and the
land grabbers held secret msetiny, at which
Mr. Brophy was con iemaed and his life plotted
against. They have considerable interest in
that sec ion, but found L. best TO give them

THAT CAPTIVE MAIDEN,


The Dominion Government to Investigate
the Truth Of the Story. 3"
OTTAWA, ONT, Feb. l0.-The Domin-
ion Government will appoint commits
sion to inquire into the truth OF the
statement that white child, the of.
spring Of an American officer, killed in a
recent IndianIraid in the Western statee.
is in possession OF Canadian Blackfeet
Indians. This matter, which first came
to the public ear through Lord Stauley's
visit to the Northwest has created much
indignation in the Northwest, where the
story is denied. In the House OF Com.
mons to-day Mr.. Carlton, NJ. P, asked II
the Government intended quelling the
excitement which existed in the United
States and Canada West by fully in
quiring into the matter. Hon. Edward
Dewdrey, Minister OF the Interior, stat
ed that careful investigation had been
made and it had been learned on the
statement Of the Indians, that the child
was Of Indian birth. Mr.. Charlton said
the Government were neglecting their
duty in not being satisfied beyond a
doubt that such was the case. It was
then agreed that a acommission composed
ofmounted police and detectives should
at once investigate thoroughly and learn
the whole truth Of the chi[d's parentage,

WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. 19.-The
three Civil Service Commissioners, Mr..
Frank Hatton, editor OF the Washington
Post, whicl, has made charges against
the Commission, and a number of other
gentlemen were present when the House
Committee on Reform'in the Civil Ser
vice began its investigation Of the Com
mission. Civil Service Commissioner
Lyman was the first witness,
and in answer to the Inquiries
of Representative Ewart, he testified
that his brother-in-law, A. Campbell,
was first appointed by the commission
as laborer, though he had passed an
examination. and was on the eligible
list for appointment as q CLERK. Camp
bell had received several promotions.
In January or February Commissioner
Oberly had called witness attention to
to the fact that examination questions
were being furnished to outsiders. The
next day he discovered that these aues-
tions were in CampbelPs handwriting
and at witness suggestion the Chief
Examiner made an investigation
and found that the questions
had not been used. Campbell
acknowledged to witness he had written
the papers and said he had copied them
for lady friend who had come to him
for assistance in passing an examination
for promotion. 1t was after this state
ment that witness placed the matter in
Mr.. Oberly's hands, as it would have
been manifestly improper for the wit
ness to act in the case.
Mr.. Hatton said that he would furnish
instances where the commission had
violated the letter and spirit Of the law

CnlcAoo, Feb. 10.-The Times thil
morning prints column interview or
the political situation with Col. VIM. F
Villas, late Secretary OF the Interior. The
article speaks Of him "a "Mr. Cleveland'a 4
fayorite conGdant."
When asked If, in his opinion. the
discussions Of the campaign OF 1883
strengthened Or weakened the cause Of
tariff reform, Colonel Villas replied:
Internationally 1t strengthened II. No
man can review tho history Of political
discussion In this country and deny that
tho people understand and accept argu.
ment and arc governed In their action
by. their judgment. It may happen at
times, as In the last campaign, 30 that
the secret and corrupt use Of vast sums
OF money, combined with sectional hate
or some ephemeral fancy, can snatch
away doubtful State or turn the scale
Of close contest. But this cannot be
when the people are awake to the peril,
nor does 1t prove that the people either
fail to understand or fail 10 oct accord.
ing to sound argument. The contrary is
well established by the returns Of 1883,
tariff reform having made gains and
progress wherever discussion was most
plentiful. and failing where argument
necessarily moves slowly To the reach OF
ALL"
"The same they will have on the
power Of a healthy, vigorous youth"
was Colonel Villas reply when ques.
toned as to the effect the lapse OF four
years would have on the sentiments OF
voters with reference TO the tariff issue.
"Aud surely" continued he, "the battle
Of 1892 will be fought on the same issue.
Il is my opinion that by that time the
Democrats can sweep the county on
that issue il the right men are nomi.
mated for President and Vice Presi.
dent"
Upon having his attention called to
the administration OF Mr.. Cleveland and
asked il he thought the future would
regard it favorably, he said after some
explanatory remarks: " don't hesitate
to say it ought to do so."

The speaking on the Worlds Fair be-
gins tomorrow, New York leading oil.
The general opinion here is that the
action Of the New York Legislature TO-.

gains at New York's expense during the
legislative embroglio, and it Is now too
late 10 win back the lost ground. New

show up in their iavor, but in the House
Washington bases its only claim on be.
ing the general SECOND choice. ABtropg
sentiment is developing adverse to the

the House arc said to be Of this opinion
and good many well informed people
say it will be Chicago or no fair. AT
any rate, from allappearances at present,
Chicago has strong lead, but Washing.
