Treasury Department Has Information
of the Existence of a Most DAN
gerous Counterfeit.

The United States patent Office has is
sued a patent to Emile BOrliner for a
combined telegraph and telephone.
Commissioners Grerer, Lindsay and
Directors Lawrence and Peck have been
appointed a committee to call on Presi
dent Harrison and the Secretary of the
Navy to ascertain what, if any, expense
OF the rendezvous at Hampton Roads
and reviewin New York harbor in April,
1898, should be borne by the exposition
management. Many are Of the opinion
that the government ought to foot the
bill.
A telegram has been received at army
headquarters from General Brooke, com
manding the Department of Dakota, in
response to one sent by General Scho-
field asking the truth about the report
that BIG Foot's band had left the reser-
vation and started for Pine Ridge. Gen
eral Brooke stated he had been unable
to learn ANYTHING definite about the
movement but would find ont the scope
and significance at once. There is no
apprehension felt at Washington that
4 the movement will be followed by any
4 thing like last winters outbreak. Gen
4 eral Schoheld said: "The state of things
4 in the Indian country to-day is far better
than a year ago There is more content
among the Sioux this winter than last.
This is mainly due, | believe, to the fact
that the affairs Of the government SO far
as they affect the Indians are better adj
ministered. do not think there are any
discernable signs OF trouble this winter
for so far as / can see the tribes are
quiet"

The restrictive law OF 1887 became
almost prohibitive Of shoddy, aud
American manufacturers began TO

Import wooden rags from Europe. In

1850 l.SSS.23s pounds and In issD, S.

In the importation Of eiaht-hundred
per cent Of discase-laden rags In
nine years.
Though Mr.. Wells ndmita that In the
process of tearing, cleaning, securing
and sleaming most Of the original Inn
purltiea Of the rags can be- and are re-.
moved, yet he claims that owing to the
manufacturer these processes are I'M
perfectly performed, and that there II

NJ. Wells also tfacesa direct c0nnec-
tlon between disease aud tariff. He
says that owing 10 the absence Of wool.

morality from consumption aud pneu.
monia is greater than from any other

were 1000 for consumption and over
1000 for pneumonia.

considers tariff reform from sanitary
