Cattle on the Cherokee Strip.

CALDWELL, KAN, August 20.--J. B. Mayes,
chief Of the Cherokee nation, with twenty-five
leading men Of the tribe, has held a conference
here with the cattlemen who are now herding
cattle on the Cherokee strip. The conference
resulted from the recent order of President
Harrison permitting the Cherokees to hold cat
tie in the strip, provided they can show that the
cattle belong to them. At the meeting
it was arranged that all the cattle now
grazing there shall be transferred to individual
Cherokees by bills of sale, and that when the
time for marketing The cattle arrives the
Cherokees shall transfer .hem back to the
cattlemen at an advance sufficient to meet the
grazing charges. By this agreement the
SOC, 900 head OF cattle on the strip can be kept
there and as many more brought in as the
Cherokees care 10 take.

and streams when the forest covering 10 re-
moved. It is true that during the
palmy days Of the plantation the fields were
not eroded. but II was because of the constant
use OF concentric cultivation, hillside bitches,
.balks and other protective devices, but when
the fields were abandoned the waters gathered
on the hillsides, ran down the slopes
and quickly destroyed the surface. In
many cases the destruction has gone so
far that to check il would cost more than the
vaiue OF the land, but when not too far ad-
yanced it may easily be checked by planting
Bermuda grass ON the steep slopes and black
locusts about the heads of the gullies and by
other preventive measures.

OUTRAGES IN CHINA.
Germany demonstrates Against the Violence
to Foreigners.

0erBnony nom0netrateo Against inc NIoIence
to Foreigners.
BERLIN, August 20.-The North German
Gazette today confirms the report that Herr
Won Brandt. the German minister to China,
acting in concert with the representatives OF
the other powers, has demonstrated with China
in regard to the outrages which foreigners have
been subjected to in that country.
The North German Gazette adds that Ger
man trade has suffered in consequence OF the
disturbances. Referring to the occurrence in
1880 when the German Catholic mission in the
province of Stan Foong. 1.-The mountainous
east" was damaged by q Chinese mob, the Ga
zette says the matter was under dis
custom in Pekin for about a year, but
obtained nothing beyond promises The
official chiefly responsible for this outrage
complained Of has lately received marks OF
special favor from the Chinese government.
The latter. it should be added, has strength
ened the malevolent elements Of the province.
Germany attaches the greatest Importance
to the welfare Of the mission in the province
of Shan Ioong, and would impress this fact
upon the authorities at Pekin.

LONDON, August 20.-A dispatch from Treves
says that the public exhibition Of the holy
coat. said to have been worn by the Savior,
was begun today. The exhibition was inaugu-
rated by a solemn pontificul service, conducted
by the bishop. after which the people Of the
parish Of st. Gangolph, in Treves, opened the

Great Loss Of Life Caused by Tuesdays Dis

Great Loss OF Lilo caused Dy 1ueoooyO Dlo.
VIENNA, August 2o.-Further details from
Botzen, near the scene Of the cloudburst
which, a. announced on Tuesday last, partially
destroyed the village of HOLMAN, seems to
show that the damage done and the number
of lives lost are greater than at first
supposed. The cloudburst over the mountains
flooded the low lands. converted q mountain
stream into a torrent, which swept through
the village Of HOLMAN, carrying away people
and cattle and destroying half the houses in
TIE place.
Forty persons were said to have been
drowned by this accident. which also destroyed
the railroad for many miles. It now appears
that the fall of water from the clouds also
flooded the other side of the mountains and
that hamlets situated on the hill tops have
been isolated by the food. Many corpses
have been seen in the valley on the other side
of the mountains They were being carried
down the torrents and it 10 feared that furthe
and great damage to property has resulted
from the calamity and that the loss of life is
very much greater than announced in the first
reports. Some time must necessarily eispse
before the full details Of the affair are known.

An Aluminium Stearub boat.

FROM the London Standard.
Some novel and interesting experiments have
recently been made on the Lake of Zurich with
steamboat built entirely Of aluminium. which
claims to be the first of its kind. The boat
weighs only about half a ton, viz: About half
the weight Of an ordinary boat of the same size.
II was built at the works Of Messrs. Fischer.
Wyss 4 Co. Of Zurich. the metal having been
furnished by the aluminium works of Schaff-
hausen, where IL is obtained by an electrical
process. the dynamos being driven. not by
steam engines, but by turbines. which utilize
the water power Of the celebrated falls of the
Rhine, so that the boat claims TO be exclusively
the product Of Swiss labor and power.
1t carries eight persons, and, with petro-
leum engine OF only two-horse power, easily
makes six miles an hour. Aluminium not being
subject to rust. the permanent color of the
boat 10 a beautiful dull white, while the Chin
ney, being Of polished aluminium, shines like
silver. The trial trips of the boat were emil
nently successful; and it is anticipated that the
construction Of aluminium steamers, having
the same capacity, and only half the weight Of
the iron ones now used on Swiss Labs, has
great future before II.
