Acting Attorney General Aldrlch
this morning received brief letter
from United States Marshal Walker, at
Montgomery, Alabama, asking instruc-
tions as to the number Of deputies to
be appointed outside of cities of 90
900 inhabitants to aid i'll the enforce
ment of the election laws. lie was in
formed in substance that as he was
probably the best Judge of the situation
the matter was left entirely to his dis
erection.
Mr.. W. H. Beck, formerly of Alexan
dria. and Il republican, but whose bust
ness is now in the Northwest, says
when he passed through Chicago wheat
was quoted at So cents, and that such
figures bode no good to the republican
party.
1t is said here to-day that if Mr..
Cleveland be elected President, Senator
Morgan of Alabama will be Secretary
of State, Mr.. Whitney, Minister to Eng
land, Mr.. Bayard to Germany and Gov
Russell of Massachusetts to France.
1t is currently rumored here to-day
that if at next Tuesdays election
enough Weaver electors are chosen to
decide the election they will not allow
the election to go the U. S. House of
Representatives, but will throw their
votes for Mr. Harrison and thus elect
him-of course for consideration,
which the protected manufacturers can
easily afford, no matter how large 1t
may be.
Intelligence received at the Depart
ment of State to-day is to the effect that
the local Hawaiian newspapers which
contained the attacks upon United
States Minister Stevens and Consul
General Severance that were finally the
subject of official protest by the Minis
ter, have, by order of the Queen,
officially published complete apology.
Indian Agent Shipley, at Fort Deli
ance, A. r., telegraphs here that on the
9th, at Round Rock, where he had the
promise of twenty-five or thirty
children for the school, Black Horse,
who claims to be the chefadviscr, with
about thirty to forty, came there and
insisted that he should not take any
children to the agency school, notwith-
standing he had the consent of the
parents. He stated to Black Horse that
sooner or later they might be compelled
to send their children to school, when
he Immediately became angry and
jumped upon him and with the assist
ance of ten others of his men forcibly
took him out of the store and in
tended to kill him, when some friendly
Navajos and his police took hold ofand
tore him away and hurried him into
the store. At the same time one of his
scouts was assaulted and beaten to such
an extent that fears were entertained
for his recovery. Alter the fracas was
over Black Horse threatened TO Kill
the whole party unless they promised
not to ask for any more children i'll the
reservation, and after considering the
critical situation he acceded to their
demand, feeling that he was powerless
to do anything and completely at their
mercy. He requests the use of SUI
ficient number of troops to force Black
Horseand his followers to furnish child
rem for the schools.
Mr.. +. W. Halford, the Presidents
private secretary, left here this morn-
ing to take part in the political CAM

Col. Bob Burke of Staunton, Va, who
is spending the winter here, says that
Major H c. Tinsley of his town, who
has lately undergone Il severe surgical
operation at the Johns Hopkins Hos

rapidly that he is talking about going
home and resuming charge ofhis excel
lent newspaper.
Postmaster General Wanamaker car
ries life insurance of a million and a
half dollars, for which he pays annually
$4S, 900. There is only one other man
in the world who carries such large
one, member of the English nobility.
A we'll known Virginia republican,
here to-day, says that though he had
made it his business to enquire, he had
been unable to find out whether the
names of the republican or third party's
electors would be printed on the repub-
lican Presidential ticket. And this is
the condition the 6. o. p. has reached in
1892.
