SAPU1HA, L T., April 8.-Allotting Agents
Colonel James N. Emery, Veder B. Payne
and R. L. Walker, assigned by the honorable
secretary of the interior to allot lands in
severalty to the Sac and Fox Indians, have
got fairly to work. Some Fox allotments
have already been made. Popo Stanley, an
industrious and educated Indian, was the
firrt to have his land marked out and as
signed to him. He is buying agricultural
implements and seeds and will cultivate a
large part of his land the coming season.
As many of the old corner stones have been
defaced or destroyed, and as the angle has
varied considerably since the survey of this
country made some seventeen years ago, 1t
will be necessary to resurvey the entire ma
ton, establish corners and make field notes
for the same. This work must be done In
about three months. Two surveying expe-
ditions have already been outhtted and left
this point for work. One went north to be-
gin operations in the vicinity of the old Iur-
key Track ranch headquarters, and the other
went south to begin work at the southeast
corner of the nation. In the meantime,
while the survey is in progress, the allot-
ments will continue, but the boundaries can
not be definitely determined until the new
survey is determined.

America for AmerIcans.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 13.-The exper
who drafted the immigration restriction bill
which passed the last congress, says it il
nothing to what the next congress will do.
He is probably right. Sentiment is grow
ing rapidly in this direction.
The New Orleans affair and the Pennsyl-
vania coke regions war have emphasized q
feeling which was already strong.
The last congress has left as legacy to its
successor thousand pages of testimony on
the necessity for this legislation. In addi-
tion the state department has made a special
investigation through an agent, who devoted
nearly a year abroad to the study of Euro
pean emigration. The subject is presented
from both ends of the line.
In both of the investigations the italian
immigration figures prominently. The con-
gresslonal committee and state department. g
agent agree that the Italian influx is the big
thing in the i'm migration problem.
According to Mr.. Dingley, the state depart
ment's agent, ''Italy is the most populous
country in Europe, and 30 per cent. more
populous than France or Austria. Italy in
recent years has sent TO the United States
about the same ratio of immigrants to pop
ulation as Great Britain and Ireland, but
more than three times more than the Ger
man ratio, yet Italy is sending to ali foreign
countries less than 43 per cent of her natural
gain of population IN excess of births over
deaths; in other words, Italy is parting with
quarter of million of her people, more or
less, annually, and yet is increasing in popu-
lation half million year.
''The population of Italy is about half as
large as that of the United States in terri
tory matched by single states of our union.
I'm 1875" MIR. Dingley says IN his report
to the state department, there were almost
no Italian immigrants to this country; in
1888 alone nearly 200,0 600 Italian immigrants
swarmed to our shores. In some years as
many as 100000 Italians have returned to
Italy from this country. but in many cases
only to again reappear on our shores with
their wives and children. In 1888 there were
but 6,331 immigrants migrating to Italy,
while in the same year nearly 10000 of the
same people left South America for their
old homes. During the pact season. since
March, 1880, the current of emigration to the
United States has been a sort of Niagara,
because the South American craze has ruin
ously collapsed.

The Maxwell Land Grant.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 9.-The supreme
court has affirmed the judgment of the cir
cult court of the United States for the dis
trict of Colorado in favor of the Maxwell
Land Grant company, in a suit brought
against the company by the Interstate Land
cOmpany,to recover q large tract of land in
Las AnlmRs county Col. In the course of
an opinion by Justice Lamar, the court holds
that the questions affecting the validity of
the Maxwell land grant are no longer open;
that the action of congress, of the land de-
partment and of the courts have settled that
question forever. In order to acquire title
to any part of the Maxwell land grant, the
court holds that the claimants must show q
grant from the Mexican government ante
dating that under which the Maxwell COM
pRny holds title. The Interstate Land COM
pany claims title under a grant made to
Royeula and Bales IN 1882. This grant was
made on certain conditions as to planting
colonies, before the time for the ful6llment
OF those conditions, and that the arrangement
between them and the grantors operated rs a
grant to the contractors of the entire tract,
embracing about 60, ,000, 900 acres. The Max
well company contended that the conditions
OF the grant were precedent and there were
no titles passed for contractors until the con-
dltions were fulfilled; it also claimed that
the grant simply named this tract of &, ,000,-
UOO acres as country within which colonies
were to be planted, and that the contractors
we're only to receive selections from this
tract. the amount of selections being gov
erned by the number of families colonized.
The circuit court adopted substantially the
view of the Maxwell company, and this court
sustains the lower court.

BLAIR REJECTED.
chinamsa In New York Receive Cable
SEATING That UAItod States Minister
Blair VIII be Rejected by China,
Being Men Persona GratA.
This Was Brought About by Strong Pro.
tests Sent From New York,s Chisa
Town, and Based Upon Blair,s
AntI-chinSse Rscord.

NEW YoKK, April 10-No small amount of
excitement was caused in tbs foreign colony
By the announcement that China had decided
to reject United States Minister Blair. The
celestials in this city were rejoicing that the
New Hampshire ex-senator will not be re-
ceived as minister to China. When Mr.. Blair
was appointed as minister plenipotentiary
and envoy extraordinary to his imperial
majesty, the emperor of China, by President
Harrison few weeks ago, the Cinnamon in
this city, who number at present s, $50, quietly
discussed the matter and Mr.. BIair's record
was looked up. When it was found that he
voted for the present Chinese restriction law,
and spoke IN favor of the measure while it
was pending in the United States senate, Q
series of meetings took place and a commit
tee OF safety was appointed to take the mat
ter In hand.
The result was that protest against Mr.
Blair was cabled to the minister of foreign
affairs at Pekin. A more formal protest was
drawn up and sent to China by mail. After
several weeks had passed, and nothing being
heard from the authorities in the celestial
kingdom, the New York Cinnamon began to
lose heart, and feared that they had gone
too far.
What was their surprise to receive cable
dispatch informing them that the emperor's
council had decided not to receive Minister
Blair in his official capacity. The cablegram
briefly announced that Blair was non persona
grata, which is the diplomatic phrase indi-
eating that he is not acceptable to the impe-
nal council, and presumably unacceptable
to the emperor himself.
The receipt of the news in Mott street
caused rejoicing, which almost amounted to
the dignity of Chinese New Years celebra-
ton. Chinatown was in a verItable uproar
over the happy intelligence. and the New
York celestials are puffed up with pride over
their importance.
His honor, Wong Fook Ting, mayor of
Chinatown, said that the refusal to receive
Mr.. Blair was nothing more than could be
expected.

PIG IRON.
speculsticn Haiss, Yet NO Marked Change
in Prlces-Mouey Markets Easy in the
West-collections Not Yet satisfAe-N
tory-Current Failures.

NEW YoRK. April 1S.-R. G. Dun 4 Co e
weekly review of trade says:
Il cannot be said that the business Of the
country is expanding, when there is a de-
crease of nearly one-sixth in a single month
in pig iron. In nearly all quarters the slack
ening of trade is attributed to many tempo
rary causes, but the state of the iron trade
cannot be thus explained, and while it may
at any time change for the better, it is at
present an unfavorable symptom. Thstrads
is very dull and some southern furnaces
weakening as to price, and the market for
manufactured forms of iron and steel show
no improvement It is said that the orders
for rails placed this year do not reach 100000
tons. Another element which may prove of
great, though temporary importance, 10 the
decision of great body of miners to strike
May for eight hours day. The other in
dustries show no material change.
Reports from the various centers of trade
are about the same as last week, but reco9-
nize temporary slackening even moro gen.
eral, which is attributed mainly to bad
weather and the state of the country roads.
Speculation in bresdstuffs halts, though
wheat is fraction higher. Corn is q lower,
but oats 1S a cent higher; pork Is cents
higher, but lard and hogs shade lower.
Coffee is q of cent lower, and cotton has
declined a sixteenth. Raw sugar has ad-
Vanced q sixteenth under the very heavy de-
mand since the duty was removed, but re-
fined grades are unchanged as yet. In gen.
eral the speculative markets are rather inert
and the general average price is now per
cent. lower than it was two weeks ago. Ex-
ports are fairly maintained in the aggregate,
but the movement of wheat, flour and corn
falls far below last years.
The money market here is quiet and un-
disturbed, though at all eastern markets
there is more than usual disposition to loan
on call rather than on time, and at Boston
there is considerable stringency. Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg are easy, but at Cleveland
there is some pressure; Cincinnati is little
close, and at Chicago there is good demand
at per cent At western points generally
the money markets are comparatively easy,
and at the south not materially changed.
Collections are Lot as a rule quite as satis-
factory, owing to bad weather and bad coun-
try roads. The treasury has again put out
about s., ,000, 600 in a week more than it has
taken in, and no signs appear of heavy gold
exports yet.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
Der 243, as compared with total of 243 last
week. For the corresponding week last year
the figures were 209.

Man.,.- Wheat crnn-

WASHINGTON. D. c., April H.-The govern.
ment crop report shows the remarkble fac
that the general average for wheat over the
whole country is better than it has been fol
eight years, or since April, 1882. A phenom-
enally large crop is promised.
In portions of Kansas and Nebraska the
prolonged drought of last summer extended
into the period of seeding, interfering some
what and rendering termination slow, but
seasonable weather during the late fall and
early winter was sufficient to Offset the disad-
vantage of late start.
In California and in Ohio and the Trans
Mississippi region the promise OF crop Is
the best that it could be.
The report says: "a high April condition
does not insure large yield, but it indicates
a strength and vitality which would enable
the plant to withstand more than the ordi-
nary vicissitudes of the season. The averages
of condition in the principal states are: New
York, 90; Pennsylvania, 81: Tennessee, 50;
Kentucky, 81; Ohio. SO; Michigan. SO: Indi-
ana, 50; Illinois, SO: Missouri, So; Kansas,
80; California, 80, and Oregon, 81.

Making the Bank, lake sIrr.r.

BosroN, April 9.-The government is re-
mitting the money refunded to the states
under the tax refunding bill in old silver GER
tifcates issued under the Bland 90 cent dol
lar. The state of Names $3.50, 900 came here
and part of it was offered in settlement of
balances at the clearing house and refused.
The banks have a verbal understanding not
to use silver in the settlement of balances,
but the act of 1882 provides that no banking
association shall refuse these certificates,
hence fears of bringing the banks to a
silver basis are current. Massachusetts, will
receive from 500, 900 to $4,000 as its part
of the refund in few days, and this bids
fair to complicate matters unless the state
treasury carries the money. The matter has
caused much discussion among the banks,
and the outcome is watched with interest

How They Strike at Rio.

New YORK, April 1.-The steamship ALI
anca, of the United States and Brazil steam
ship company, under the command of Cap
tain Griffiths, did not arrive at its Brooklyn
wharf, being ten days behind time. The
officers report that they were delayed by a
strike at Rio de Janeiro of oflongshoremen and
employees of the st. Paulo railroad, which
runs from Rio de Janeiro to st. Paulo.
1t appears that the constant turmoil of the
Brazilians since the dethronement of the
emperor and the establishment of the repub-
lie, has created SO much uncertainty, and the
currency has become so deprecated, that all
provisions have risen in price to such an ex-
tent that the laborers working in and around
Rio de Janeiro made up their minds they
needed more wages. They decided to strike
for an increase equivalent to about 20 cents
day. About 1000 of them went out. They
made no attempt at violence, but simply sat
around awaiting Developments.
There were six steamers lying at Rio be-
sides the Alliance. Finally the men came
out victorious, obtaining all they asked for.

MICHIGAN ELECTIoEs.-Election returns SO
far received indicate that republicans have

later returns will make any material change
in the result

able that the strike may become general.

seph, Mo-, was for eight aldermen, and re-
suited in the election of four republicans and
four democrats. The lowest majority Is for
Finch, in the Second ward, (dem.), the high

Ne Arreemsn. Reached.

PrIsBURe. Pa, April 1.-THE interstate
convention of miners and operators closed
suddenly. After fierce battle Of words and
opinions, further talk was declared proftless
and an adjournment made sine die that fairly
made the miners heads SWIM, though they
accepted the proposition with q smile.
This action means practically that the in
!erstate agreement has been abolished and
that the amlcable and harmonious relations
that have existed between the two classes for
the past five years are broken off and may
not be resumed. 1t also means that 75,0Oe
mine workers in these two regions will stop
work oo the LIST of May, affecting SOC, ,00C
persons directly and hundreds of Thousands
indirectly. AS the mine workers of the coun-
try will also demand an eight hour day, q
combustion of work after May. now seems
almost impossible. The two great orgsniza-
tions of the country, the Knights of Labor
and the Federation of Labor, are back of the
mon and their money will be at their disposal.

A scheme to InfIuenos Italian PO

A scheme to influences italian Politics.
WAsHINaroN, d. c., April 4.-h is now
matter of positive knowledge that the Ital-
ian government has not sent to this govern
ment or any of its representatives notif-
cation that = reply is expected to Marquis
Rudini's note within any specified time. IL
Ia not customary in diplomacy for any ma
ton to undertake such & course, and had
Italy adopted such course it would certainly
be regarded with umbrage by our ow1 gov
ernment As stated in diplomatic and cour-
teous phraseol2oy in Secretary Blaine's letter
to the Marquis Imperiali, the government Of
the United States proposed to deal with the
question at issue earnestly, but with caution
and delberation. A necessary preliminary
to the New Orleans matter Is the reliable
official statement of the nationality of the
victims and their records in this country and
Italy. This evidence has not yet been coll
lected. The department of state is not COR
tentinQ itself with specific inquiry into the
history and antecedents of the New Orleans
victims. It proposes to show the Italian
government the extent of the evil of unre-
stricted immigration from which the United
States is now suffering. and this purpose
necessitates PLAIN dealing with the character
of considerable element of our population
which has largely been received from Italy.
So many interesting statistics are In course
of preparation that will touch with blunt
directness upon the number of murders and
outrages committed in recent years in the
United States by members of the Malta and
other secret italian organizations, and upon
the Vendettas that are imported into the
United states to the disturbance of the peace
and involving expense to our taxpayers In
the prosecution of.malefactors. Time is re-
quired to compile those facts and the depart
ment of state will take the necessary time,
while taking care to clear its skirts of suspi-
picion of undue delay.
In high official circles here there has been
no change IN the opinion that the New Or
leans matter is being manipulated in Italy
to influence Italian politics. 1t is surmised
that brave show of indignant national feel
ing is being made, while there is in Rome Q
knowledge that Secretary Blaine's answer ID
near at hand, so that before 1t is made public
the impression would be conveyed to the
Italian popular mind that the United States
had been overawed.

ALstser From Senator PETER.

TOPEKA, April 14.-The following letter
from Senator W. A. PETER has been received
here and given to the press.
The following comprises the main part of
the letter;
'I received an invitation from the democ-
racy of Illinois to attend the ratification
meeting upon the election of General Palmer
to the senate, but the invitation come to me
day or two after the time for the meeting.
If it had been received before the day of the
meeting certainly should have answered it
politely, suggesting to my democratic friends
of Illinois that my only interest in them is of
personal character, not political. have
not taken interest in the democratic party
for great many years, and have not changed
my mind in that respect recently.
As to my voting with the republicans,
have not said 30 to anybody. have not au-
thorized anybody else to say so, and it is
wholly untrue. / do not expect to sit up
alone among the members of the senate, with
chip on my shoulder, suggesting that ''I
am holier than thou" to every msa happen
to see; but do expect to be an active, earn
est, working member of that body, propos-
ing as many measures as possible along the
line of reforms which we advocate, and OBJ
tanning all the help that is possible, and a.
to all other matters which may come up, IL
does not matter from whom, it does not
matter how, if they commend themselves to
my own judgment, or If they are in accord
with the principles that our peoples party
advocate, they will have my earnest support.
l do not expect 10 pay any attention to the
politics of my fellow members. What
mean by that Is, that do not expect to do
anything from the standpoint of partisan,
either as a republican or as a democrat. I
have grown bigger than the party harness.
am on the outside altogether, and expect
to remain there. Yours truly,
w. A. PKFRKR.
