PARIS, Sept. 3.-Some newspapers of
this city recall portions of the late EN-
peror Frederick's diary, which Prince
Bismarck tried to suppress, revealing
King Leopold's congratulations to the
Emperor William on the victory at Sc
dan, and later King Leopold's intrigue
with Bismarck and Theirs to get him
self made king of combined France and
Belgium. The object of the reminder is
to persuade De Freycinet to keep a
strong force within easy distance OF
Meuse, on the ground that King Leopold
is still inclined to violate the neutrality
of Belgium in the interests of Germany.
LIE Soir believes secret intent to that
end exists between Emperor William
and King Leopold, but that the latter
has been compelled to be prudent since
the Gefaeken revolutions.

THE 1rArA CASE.
Probability That it viii be a Three
Cornered Lawsuit.

COrnereu Lawsuit.
Los ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 3.-The libel
case against the steamer Itata has as
sumed a new phase, and it is probable
that it will now develop into three
cornered fight between the United
States, the quondam insurgents and the
actual owners of the vessel, and the
South American Steamship company,
represented by Flint & Co., of New
York. United States Commissioner
Owens, of this city, is in receipt of a
letter from New York law firm stating
that they had been retained to appear
in the case for the owner of the vessel,
and defend her from confscation. The
letter states that W. w. Goodrich is
about to leave New York for this city.
Heretofore, it has been supposed that
attorneys Page & Dennis, who were re-
tanned by the insurgents, were the only
representatives. of the owners of the YES
sci. The attorneys have made answer
to the libel against the rifles, and were
prepa ing similar document with re-
gard to the vessel itself, which must be
filed before the 14th. 1t is not known
among court officials here whom the
New York lawyers represent, but it is
supposed they represent the South
American Steamship company, who
owned the Itata before she was seized.

The Federal Government System the
Most Perfect Safeguard.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-The legis-
lative committee appointed to investi-
gate the state treasurer's Office met here
this morning. Governor Pattison ap-
peared before the committee. He was
asked if he could suggest any better
method than the present system of aud
iting state accounts. In reply the gov
ernor said in his opinion the present
system as all wrong. Under it the
state treasurer has absolute control of
about $S 900, 900, for which the state
only has security to the amount OF $780,,
600. Governor Pattison also said he
thought the system of depos1ting the
state money was wrong. Security
should be required by the state for
money deposited, about $125,0O0 for
every 100000. The most perfect safe
guard for security to the state against
loss is the system employed by the
federal government.

FROM OKLAHOMA.

CONSERVATION Among the Citizens.
GUTHRIE, Oklahoma, Sept. A SEN
sation was caused by the publication
of a heretofore overlooked section of law
which makes it misdemeanor for any
person or corporation to hire man to
go into the Indian reservation and take
up claim and afterward turn it over
to those persons or company. Many
banks and mercantile houses and other
companies and hundreds of private per-
sons engaged parties to do this very
thing. and the discovery of this law
creates CONSERVATION on all sides.
