A sensational rumor is current here to-
night to the effect that an attack was
made upon the Sac and Fox agency last

A company composed of New York
and southern capitalists has just been
organized with a capital of 100000
for cultivating farm of 112, 600 acres in
Florida. This will be the largest farm in
the world, and upon it enough could be
raised to supply the city of New York
with food. The name of the company ie
the San Sebastian Land, Improvement,
Sugar and Investment company. The
farm lies between the Indian, San Sc
bastian and st. Johns rivers. 1t has
muck soil similar to that in the valley OF
the Nile. The company does not pro-
pose to raise cereals or garden stuff, but
sugarcane and cocoanuts, especially CO.

an experiment, as cocoanuts are not in
digenous to Florida.
A Chicago dispatch of the 26th says:
Last night the city council, after an ex-
citing discussion, repealed an ordinance
which was surreptitiously rushed
through the council two weeks ago,
granting the Chicago & Northern Pacific
railroad for five miles the right of way
within the city limits and comforting
other privileges, the money value of
which is alleged to be enormous. Com
missioner of Public Works Aldrich, who
has been charged with responsibility for
this peculiar transaction, made a per-
sonal explanation to the council denying
the accusation. 1t is said the railroad
company, prior to last night, accepted
the ordinance and that the document
was signed by the mayor, thus making
the repeal later a nulljty.
The treasury department is informed
that Canadian carpenter named VIM.
H. Crawford, who had been deported to
Canada on the ground that his presence
in this country was in violation of the
allan contract labor law, returned to
Michigan the same afternoon and filed
his declaration OF intention to become a
citizen Of the United States, with a view
to removing his disabilities, and is sup
posed to be at work for Malcomb Blue
at Bay Mills, Mich, under the original
contract. In acting on this case Assist
ant Secretary Nettleton held that Craw-
ford's status is not changed because of
the declaration to become citizen,
which step he regarded as finesse to
evade the law. Immigrant Inspector
Schell is. therefore, instructed to notify
Crawford that he is in this country un-
lawfully, and must return to Canada.
The census bureau, in bulletin on
the subject of aluminium, says: This
interesting metal has at last reached the
state of actual production, and the Unit
ed States is one of the leading producers.
The all-important feature of the indus
try at present, however, is the effort of
new process to reduce the cost OF making
the metal. Prominence is therefore
given to the concise and very exact re-
suit of the methods of the extraction of
aluminium and their results for a num-
Der of years, with other valuable inform
alton leading to this industry. The pro-
duct for the census year 1889 was AZ ,468,
pounds, including alloys, valued at S97,-
325. The principal sources of aluminium
have heretofore been cryolite from
Greenland and imported bauxite, but
recently discoveries of bauxite have
been made in Arkansas, which will no

Newcastle coal mines, started to clean
out the negro camp. In the scrimmage
four persons were killed. A deputy
sheriff, who has been at the scene for
the past four weeks, called for the mill

striking white men was carried out this
The company sent special

from it's Franklyn mine. The strikers
were all asleep when the negroes ar
