Omcial Correspondence.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, July "a blue book con-
tanning the correspondence in relation to
the killing of the Italian prisoners in the
Jail at New Orleans on March "A has just
been issued by the state department, and a
number of letters and dispatches are made
public for the first time. 1t appears from
the correspondence, which dates as far
back as October n, 1890. that the state de-
partment was ever awake to the POSSIBLE
ties of international complications arising
from the murder of Chief Hennessey. In
response to secretary Blaine's dispatch of
that date Governor Nichols telegraphed
there was no occasion and had been none
for executive action or unusual action in
the premises.
On November 10 the Italian counsel COM
planned to the grand jury that several
italian prisoners had been ill-treated in the
jail, and when this was brought TO the no.
tice of Secretary Blaine by Baron Fava he
at once laid the case before Governor
Nichols. 1t appeared on investigation that
the complaints We're well founded. and the
vicious system prevailing in the jail under
which the grievances had been made posi-
BILE was abolished. .
An exceedingly interesting letter, now
published for the first time is that of Min
i5ter Porter to Secretary Blaine, giving an
account of Porter's interview with Count
Darie, Italian under secretary which goes
to show that the action of the italian min
listers was taken chiefly for political effect

Special to the Gazette.


O. MCKINNEY, COLLIN COUNTY, Ten, July

afternoon. The attendance has been large.
At times 10000 people were on the ground.
EyaRJones, C. W. Macune, W. 4. PETER
sEdd a. j. Streetor have been the principal
speakers. The tendency of the speakers is
in the direction of the third party. Jennie
Scott Wilson recited some beautiful pieces
on the Alliance principles, and woman
orator whom the audience credited with
being from Kansas, spoke this forenoon.
The murcury was up in the nineties. Men
were hopping their foreheads but the
speech went on. The general result of
the canp-meetingt is hard to esti-
mate. 1t has been great sue
cess There is not as much talk
OF third party as at the beginning, but
there are many suggestions of inserting the
sub-treasury in the Democratic platform,
and this effort will be the outcome. Bailey's
speech has been disturbing element and
disrupted calculations.
The ex-Confederates held an enthusiastic
meeting to-day in furtherance of their prep
arations for their reunion, to be held here
on the 9th and 9TH of August. Committees
were on hand, and the indications are that
there will be avery large attendance.
District court adjourned for the term this
afternoon. Quite large amount Of bust
ness was transacted.

FOR ACTUAL SETTLERS.
INFORMATION WHICH WILL
SERVE THEM IN LOCATING.
Terms on Which They May Settle on
Leased Grazing Lands-Leases of 1887
Exempt From Settlement.
Special to the Gazette.

AUSTIN, TEX. July 25.-The following,
which explains itself, has been issued by
the commissioner of the general land office:
Actual settlers must be careful not to get
on lands leased under the act of 1887.
Where such leases were made after the
land was classified as grazing lands the
actual settler cannot buy inside of such
leases, provided such leases are duly re-
corded and in good standing. The lease
law was amended by the last legislature.
See chapter ia, pages $50, ISL and 1S2;
acts of the Twenty-second legislature.
Section II of the previous acts of 1887 and
1889 is amended thus: THE public lands
and all lands belonging to the public free
schools, asylums or university funds shall
be leased by the comptroller of the general
land Office, under the proyisiooe Of this act.
AL such lands lying west of the Pecos river
and all such lands lying south of the Texas
and Pacific railroad, except the counties of
CoEcho, McCulloch Coke, Sterling, Glass
cock Midland, Ector, Tom Green, Howard
and Martin, and all university lands, shall
be leased for period of not longer than ten
years and all other such lands lying north
of the Colorado river and north Of the Texas
and Pacific and the counties hereinbefore
excepted from the ten year lease, shall be
leased for a period not longer than five
years, etc"
In section Is, page 1s1, same act, there is
OIc CLAUSE lOE ACTUAL StItlClS " ldhC ucl1tC
of, to-wit: All lands, the lease of which is
fixed by this act at not exceeding five years,
shall be leased subject to sale, provided.
that if any lessee has actually settled upon
any section of land included in his lease,
and erected thereon his residence and sub
stantial improvements, for permanent set
tlement, such section shall not be sold, nor
shall such settler be disturbed during the
term of his lease, and all leases of agrlcul-
tural lands embraced in the territory where
lease not exceeding ten years is provided
for in this act, shall be subject to sale to
actual settlers, except when settlement and
Improvements are made as herein before
provided for in this section, by the lessee.
In all cases where an actual settler may de-
sire to settle on any grazing land, which
may have been leased under the five-year
contract of lease, such actual settler shall
first erect thereon substantial improve
ments of the value of not less than 500,
within four months after making his appi-
cation to purchase, satisfactory proof of
which shall be made under such regulations
as the commissioner of the general land
Office may require, thereupon the land shall
be awarded to him. w. L. MCGAuGHEY.

A Battle ROYAL.

1t is reported here thai the Republicans
of Ohio will defer their arrangements about
their big guns for the coming campaign
until they are advised as to the Democratic
programme They are not little disturbed
over the prospect of having to contend with
visitors of the grade of Hill and Cleveland.
They have, therefore, some nice calculations
to make.
A friend of Senator Sherman said to-
night: 1T is agreed that if Cleveland
comes into Ohio to speak for Campbell he
will either have to meet Sherman in Joint
debate or decline to do so. OF course he
will be treated with perfect courtesy in the
challenge, but he will be certain to receive
one. If he comes. his appearance on the
stump will entail on him the obligations of
the stump. The point will be to see Cleve-
hand have an opportunity to discuss some
thing besides the tariff, and if Sherman
should give him that opportunity lie will
have occasion to remember ii. Sherman,
you know, intends to devote good deal of
his time to the financial question, on which
he and Cleveland are pretty well agreed"
''And who is be sent after Governor
Hip
Foraker. That will prove an interesting
contest, too. Both are young men in pol
itics, both are exceedingly popular with
their followers and both possess that kind
of dash that is highly effective on the
stump. Inc PROBABILITY Is HUI ana tora-
ker will draw larger crowds than another
man and Cleveland. If the matches are
made land Foraker is anxious to cross
swords with Hill, he will be in his best
form"
'.And Mckinley"
''Oh, he's TO look after Campbell
There'n probably be a joint debate ar
ranged for them. It's to be hot campaign
from the outset, and every man on either
side is to be placed where he can do the
most goodn

Farmers Alliance men, up to this

There are now two more States to
be heard from, namely, Florida and

Call, of Florida, will, no doubt, be a
democrat, and under the inspiration
of their victories in Kansas and
South Dakota the alliance men
claim that they can elect the sue
