BLAINE's Latest DESPATCH.

LONDON, Jan. 6, l89I.-The Press AS
ISOLATION Of the city that Lord
Salisbury is engaged in the consideration
of the forty-page despatch received from
Mr.. Blaine December 80, the latest des-
patch received from Washington. 1t
does not contain a definite acceptance of
Lord Sa|isbury's proposals for arbitra ion
on the main question, that Of the right Of
the British kealerS to catch seals in Beh
ring Sea
The Press Association says that Mr..
Blaine discusses only the subsidiary point
arbitration on the tine closing the sea-
ing. The Press Association adds that Mr..
Blaine has not replied to Sir Julian Paunce-
Totes note of June last in which the lat
ter says that Her Majesty's government
must hold the government of the United
States responsible for the consequences
arising from acts of interference with
Bri 5ish vessels contrary to the principles
Of international ,aw.
The Press Association also states that
no pre- oarations have been made to aug
ment the British ieet in the North Pacific
Ocean, as such a step might be regarded
as q menace.
The ST. James Gazette to day says that
it accepts the official denial in regard to
the Behring Sea troubles, adding, how
ever, but why is the United States navy
being massed in the Pa ;ifc unless it is to
make the Behring Sea a mare cLGWsWm :
Officers Of the American navy do not act
upon rumors printed in American papers.
The Pail Mall Gazette ssys:-"Mr.
Blaine obviously means to try more
bounce for the sake of making political
capital. We are convinced, however,
that the Amer al will no. support Mr..
Blaine. It is imperative to arbitrate the
matters in dispute"
The Globe says that it sttribu .es the
friction to Mr.. Blaine's " Dragging spread
eagleism," and it is of the opinion that
Sin view of a possible, though unlikely,
American display of force in Behring Sea
Great Britain ought insta atty to strengthen
her Pacific s~quadrons." The Globe also
advocates the settlement of all matters in
disput by means of arbitration.
Sir Edward Clarke, Solicitor. General,
speaking at Plymouth tonight, said, with
reference to the Behring Sea dispute, that
Lord Salisbury was only asserting a doc
trine laid down by the United States Gov
eminent years go-namely, that no nation
could claim sovereignty over the open sea.
d" Hostilities between England and the
United Safes" said Sir Edward, " would
shock the conscience of the world; and
even the contemplation of such hostilities
would be an outrage upon civilization and
humanity. 1t is to be hoped that Lord
S~alisbury's offer will be accepted. But if
an English vessel is seized on the high
seas and violence is used toward British
subjects, one fatal half ho1r would put it
beyond the power of the two countries to
settle the difficulty by arbitration."-M

MISSOURI TROOPS ORDERED OUT.

KANSAS CRY, Mo Jan. 6, 1891.-Col
Milton Moore, commanding the Third
Regimen, Missouri National Guard, has
received orders fron the Adjatant General
of the State to hold his companies in
rediness to move at an hours notice.
There are one troop Of cavalry, one bat
terry and two companies of infantry here,
and the orders have been issued for them
to report at the armOries.
1t is understood that the troops of
Missouri and Kansas are to be called
upon to help protect the people of OKLA
bona should the Indians in thaj section
show any signs of being unruly. The
orders which have been sent by the
government calling for the disarmament
of the Indians on the western line of the
Territory have caused much uneasiness,
and as the regular troops have been taken
from that part of the country to assist in
the Northern campaign the settlers in the
new Territory have beer left unprotected.

consideration. For the 9Th place, General
Miles was instructed to select some officer
inste4 I'd of Captain Dougherty, originally
sug yested by the General, because both
Dougherty and Pierce belong to the First
regiment and It was thought better %
have he several appointments made from
different regiments.
The agencies affected by this change
are the Standing Rock, Pine Ridge,
Rosebud Cheyen e and Lower B"ule. all
of which are in the Dakotas. The Sction
# the p esident and Cabinet in this
matter is favorUbly received in army and
Wal Department circles and is considered
as significant of a determination On the
part Of the ad ninistrati 4 to uphold
General Niles ami to co, operate with him
cordially IN h present campaign, so that
the responsibility Tor its future, if there is
any failure, will rest entirely on his
shoulders.
1t is to be exp, cted that the promulga-
ton Of this order will arouse a chorus of
protestatians from the humanitarians or
anti military party, but there is no reason
able occasion for criticism even from their
point OF view. 1t would be singular if
the public, on a superficial consideration
Of the order, should misunderstood its
real purport. The changes at the agencies,
which have thus been recommended and
ord rel, are not intended to be permanent,
but 3nly temporary. The old az, nts
have not been removed, but their authority
has been merely transferred to military
Cffc srs during the continuance of hostili
ties, as the authority of civil officers is
often transferred in time of war, with the
sole object of promoting thereby the best
interests Of all concerned, and conducting
to the more speedy restoration of peace
full conditions. AS illustrating this idea,
it may be added that the instructions
telegraphed to General Miles by Secre-
tary Proctor contained among other
things, the statement that the newly
appointed military Ulcers are not to
interfere unnecessarily with the functions
Of the regular agents.

BANK PRESIDENT IN THE TOLLS.

Wo~oNsoOKET, s. D., Jan. 6.-The San
bourn County Bank safe was opened this
morning and found to contain only $137,
and President Stevens was arrested.
A week ago while he was playing the
role of lunatic a warrant was issued for
his arrest on complaint of n Of the
creditors, charging the taking of money
on deposit after knowing the bank to be
in~solvent.
Yesterday morning he was released on
So, 900 bonds, but was re- arrested, charged
by A. Sampson, druggist and postmaster
at this place, with forgery.
Some time ago, it appears, Stevens re-
ceived a note Of $500 against Sampson
for collection. He collected the money
and gave up the note, remitting $500 to
to the parties who sent the note and forg-
ing Samp sons name on a note for the
balance, telling them that Sampson wanted
a little more time on the $500. Last
week Mr.. Sampson received notice that
his note was due. Other warrants have
been issued against Stevens.

RECIPROCITY WITH SPAIN.

MADRID, Jan. 6, 1891.-Gen. E. Burd
Grub, the United States Minis er here,
has indicated the desire of his government
to negotiate a reciprocity treaty with
Spain on the understanding that the treat
ment granted to American imports in the
Spanish West Indies should not be ex-
tended to imports from other countries,
and that the United States in exchange
would partly exempt Cuban sugars and
tobsccos from the imposts of the McKin-
ley tariff.
The Spanish Government, it is under
stood, would like to wei ONE this over
ture, which the West Indies colonies
themselves desire, but until all her Euro
pean treaties expire in 1892 Spain cannot
grant tue United States any reciprocity
that European powers cannot also claim
under the Favored natioa" clauses.-M

ARMY MEN D1spLAoE AGENTS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. 189l.-President
Harrison has decided to accede to General
Miles suggestion that military officers be
appointed to take charge temporarily OF
the FIVE Indian agencies near the scene
of the present hostilities. The subject
came up before the Cabinet at its meeting
to-day and was thoroughly discussed,
with the final result as stated. 1t is
understood that Secretary Noble was
induced to withdraw his oppo ition to
t, General Miles proposal before the end
of the CahiCet conference, though the
influence of the Interior Department has
been arrayed hitherto against all military
interference.
Acting under Instructions from the
President, Secretary Proctor this after
noon sent a dispatch to General Miles,
informing him of the decision and naming
Captain E. P. Ewers, of the Fifth infantry;
Captain F E. Pierce, of the First infantry;
Captain Cyrus A Bei0st, of the Eighth
infantry, and Captain J NJ. Lee, Of the
Ninth infantry, as the officers to be placed
in charge of four of the agencies under

The subject of harvest excursion rates
was tabled, subject to further consider

ment at Detroit rate of one fare for
the round trip from all association
points was authorized for special dates
of sale and transit and final limits. The

One Fare to Detroit---What May
Result,

CHICAGO, July 16.-Another slap at
the Chicago & Alton was administered
to-day by the Western roads through
the Western Passenger association.
The association determined to make
one fare for the round trip from all
Western points to Detroit for the en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic. These tickets will be sold by
any route leading east from Chicago.
AS the Alton boycott is still in force,
that road will he unable to ticket
beyond Chicago, except over the
Wabash, and there is strong
possibility that tickets issued by the
Alton will be refused by the Wabash,
which is now in the thick of the fight
against the Alton. To even things up,
the Alton proposes tomake rate of one
fare from all these points to Chicago,
thus practically demoraliZing rates be-
tween St. Louis and Chicago and Kan
sas City and Chicago. If the Alton then
fails to secure its share of the compe-
tition, the Alton will make rate of 81
less than charged by its competitors.
The probabilities are that Western
passenger rates will be as badly demon
allied within Two or three weeks as
they ever have been before, even during
the hottest rate war.

THE ALTON BOYCOTT.
Efforts to Make 1t Effective Are
q Failure.

CHICAGO. July 16.-The efforts of the
Eastern roads to induce the Union Pa
cifc and other Trans Missouri lines to
discontinue the skeleton form of ticket,
by which the effect of the boycott
against the Chicago & Alton Is greatly
weakened, are not likely to prove sue
cesSful. Passengers to Eastern points
may use these tickets with impunity
over the Alton road, as there is nothing
on the coupon to show what line they
travelled over from the Missouri river to
Chicago, and the conductors on Eastern
trains cannot refuse to accept them.
Protesting letters have been written to
General Passenger Agent Lomax, Of the
Union Pacific, but he has replied to the
boycotters that if they do not like the
form of ticket he uses they are at liberty
to order his tickets off sale on their
roads,
