Albert n. Horton Returns.

TOPEKA, September 26.-Chief Justice Al,
bert II. Horton, of the Kansas supreme
court, is at home from his European trip.
He expected to get back by September 9Th
but arriving in London learned that every
state room on all steamers for the United
States were engaged for the months of Sep
TENDER and October. He was fortunate, how
ever, and secured a stateroom on the ''Pa-
Vonia," which had been released by an in
tended passenger.
The 'Pavonia'' left London September
3th and arrived in Boston the 18th inst. The
vessel was placed IN quarantine, but through
some influential Boston citizens who were
on board, most of the cabin passengers, in
Guiding Judge Horton, were allowed to land,
while about one hundred and forty steerage
passengers were held in quarantine for TWEEN
~ days. The baggage of the cabin passen-
gers was held in quarantine and will be until
1t can all be thoroughly fumigated. Judge
Hort IN says the weather was very pleasant
in England and Ireland, but was uncom-
fortably cold in Scotland. He divided his
last two weeks between Paris and Ireland,
and said he could see great deal in very
little time in that country.

appear before M fellow citizens and con-
tribute my share towards the discussion Of
the political questions of the hour. You did
not believe this campaign would prove an
exception to the usual rule and you are not
disappointed. Among the honorable men
the discharge of political duty outweighs all
minor considerations, and in this crisis of
our country's history, and in this great
emergency in our party affairs, individual
disappOintments or even alleged personal in
justice should be subordinated in the faith
full performance Of political obligations,
not as mere matter of expediency, but for
the higher sense of duty. Permit me to sug-
gest that we have all of US now a MISSION to
fulfill. Petty jealousies must be dismissed,
regular organizations must be respected,
party discipline must be enforced, dissen-
away to enthusiasm in order that the grand
party to which we are proud to belong may
triumph in the right principles and work
out the destiny which surely await it.

Their Clothing Ruined

CAMP Low, SANDY Hook, n. J., September
27.-The Normannia's passengers. who are
to be transferred from here to Ellis Island
will, in many cases, have fewer clothes fit to
wear than would make a full dress suit for a
Zulu chief, as it was found, when DR.. Ra=ch
had the disinfected baggage unpacked for
the purpose of exposure to the air. sun and
wind, that all their personal effects of every
kind had been ruined in the process of dis
infection by the superheated steam at go de-
grees, which was employed at Hofman's
Island.
On the trunks being unpacked, silk dresses,
laces, mantles and fur coats, with other ex-
pensIve clothing, the property of the cabin
passengers, who were compelled TO return in
the steerage for lack of accommodation in
the Hamburg steamer, were found to be COW
cred with thick, greenish mildew. which
had completely ruined the clothing. The
passengers complained loudly. and stated
that the Hoffman Island authorities hao
compelled them to repack their baggage
while it was soaking wet from the steam.
There are !, 100 pieces of baggage, and be-
tween the clothes ruined and the damage
done to and loss of jewelry and valuables,
the estimated loss on the passengers belong
ings is placed at $1,000.

Reception Extraordinary.

The leading social event of the national
encampment week in honor of the Grand
Army was the reception to thu members of
the national encampment given by the citi-
zens of Washington in the spacious court of
the pension Office building.
The interior of the building had been
handsomely decorated with flags and bunt-
ing. At either end of the hall. near the top,
were the portraits of Lincoln and Grant, and
on the side walls were those of Harrison and
Morton. All the gas ie s around the three
galleries of the building were lighted, and
large globes of electric lights shed lustre
over the scene, which, when viewed from the
upper galleries, was a striking one. The
oommi tee having the reception in charge
had wisely restricted the invitations TO a
limited number of citizens and to the OIL
GERS and members of the encampment.
The crowd, therefore, while large, was at
no time uncomlortably so. and locOmOtion
was easy.

MORGAN'S REPORT.
Advancement Made in Educa-
tional Policy.
indian Schools Increased From
Eight to Twenty-Five Agency Sys-
tenn Going Out by Degrees-BeIng
Treated as Individuals.

WAsHEoToE, D. c., September 3o.-Ths
annual report of Thomas J. Morgan, com
missioner of Indian affairs, notes continu-
ance of the policy of allotting lands to In
dams as individuals and treating them as fu-
ture citizens. Eventually, the commission
er thinks that the agency system would be
destroyed and also the land bureau. He dis
approves of the detailing of army officers to
take charge of the Indian agencies. He says
that in the education of the Indians and the
allotment of lands to them considerable
progress has been made during the last year.
Special mention is made of the various
measures taken during the year to make the
Indians self-supporting and gradual reduc-
ton of the issue of rations to them is recon-
mended.
The subject Of Indian education is covered
fully; Its difficulties are pointed out, a gen
eral survey of the field is presented, and the
tables are given showing the different kinds
OF schools In operation, their capacity and
attendance. There are now in operation or
soon to be opened twenty large training
schools, located in the midst of civilized
communities, in the Indian reserve agencies.
Three years ago there were eight such insti-
buttons. When completed their total capac-
ity will be about $1,000 pupils. The total en-
the year ending Juno 80, 1891, was nearly
20 90, an increase of more than 1000 within
three years, or more than % per cent. Four
years more at this rate of progress will see
practically all Indian children gathered into
schools.

Leong Yio has joined a society called Leong

The larger and more highly illuminated
document tells n tale of conspiracy
which viii doubtless be interesting to
the emperor of China If known to that indi-

that a society exists in China, having for its
object, the removal by murder of his high

Hing. It's president is named Keong Hoo.
The holder of this certificate in question is
LeOng Yio, and he was admitted to member

drop of blood from the veins of the heather

Canada WatohInp RussIa.

TORONTO, September "a special to the
Globe from Ottawa says:
1t is reported here that the captain of one
of the British Columbia sealers, seized by
Russia in the Behring sea. is here for the
purpose of furnishing the government with
affidavits of his seizure and information as
to others, also that he makes the following
statement.
Having been in the Baltic he understands
the Russian language, and while prisoner
on board a Russian government vessel,
learned from the conversation and actions
of the Russian officials that they were in
structed to make only pretenSe of Selling
American vessels, the real object being to as
sert such rights in Behring sea as would ma
terially assist the United States In the ap-
preaching arbitration.
Be this as it may, cablegrams regarding
these seizures are passing daily between
the British and Canadian governments, and
the sending of a British gunbOat to the scene
is regarded oninous. The contingency is
certainly contemplated of a war between
Russia and England, and if these seizures
and consequent violations of the treaty of
1895 between Russia and England are regard
ed as a casus belli with the United States
assisting Russia the consequences to Canada
are very Serious.

Weather-Crop RuIIetIn

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 29.-The
weekly weather-crop bulletin, issued by the
weather bureau, shows that the weather has
been warmer in nearly the entire country.
This weather is maturing late corn, and per-
hitting the gathering of early corn. A large
part of the latter crop has been cut and that
remaining in the fields, including the late
crop, is considered practically safe from
damage by frost. More than the usual
amount of ram fell in the OHIO valley, south
east to the Atlantic coast, and one portion of
the lake regions. In New England, South
Atlantic and the Gulf states, throughout
Missouri, Mississippi and Red river valleys,
the rainfall Is below the average, while west
of the Mississippi little or no rain has fallen
Special Geographic reports show the cotton
badly damaged in many sections in the south.
In Missouri all interests, especially pastur-
age, are reported as demanding a good rain.
In Kansas the weather was favorable for
corn, haying, threshing, but unfavorable for
fall blowing, seeding and Dasturage. In
Oklahoma the conditions are generally I'M
favorable for late vegetables and wheat
sowing.

Our Indian Policy

PIERRE, S. D., September 28.-James Cav
anaugh, an Indian trader from the Cheyenne
river, says that Indian runners from the bad
lands have been working among the Indians
along the Cheyenne in the attempt to secure
their aid in another outbreak such as that of
two years ago. Their present desire to go
on the warpath is caused by the encourage
ment given them by tho government after
the Pine Ridge trouble.
When the trouble two years ago was ended
the Indians, many of whom owned no prop
erty other than the ponies they rode, put in
claims of large amounts of property lost.
These clames have all been paid, and IN adj
ditlon their rations have been increased.
With such inducements held out to them the
Indians feel that they would be rewarded in
stead of punished for any deViltry which
they might commit.
In many cases the whites who lost property
the Indian troubles are yet waiting for an
opportunity to obtain hearing upon their
claims, and it will be years before some of
them are paid, if they ever are. The claims
OF the Indians, on the contrary, were prompt
ly acted upon and paid.

The Wisconsin 0errymanaer.

MILWAUKEE, September 3O--The supreme
court at Madison rendered a decision in the
second gerrymander case. 1t holds that the
court has jurisdiction in the case and over
throws the demurrer of Senator Villas based
on the claim that the suit should have been
brought by the attorney general instead OF
by the petitioner, Lamb.
It holds that Lamb is entitled to bring sui
and that the bill of plaintiff contains suth-
cient ground Tor action. This is practically
the overthrow of the last gerrylnander. The
defense was given time 10 answer the bill Of
the plaintiff.
Colonel Villas seemed to accept this as con-
elusive, that unless he could challenge the
facts set forth III Lambs complaint, the ger
rylnander measure is knocked out. Hence
it Is thought that if answer Is made at all II
Will be simply for the purpose of delaying
the final judgment until after election.

New York. September 26.-R- g. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The alarm about cholera has vanished, and
trade in every direction shows all the i'm
provement that was expected. The south is
a little dull because cotton Is low in price
and late, but little improvement has been
seen during the past week. In few quar-
ters of the west farmers are holding back
their wheat for higher prices, so that collec-
tons are retarded. But the general tenor of
adv1ces are exceedingly favorable. The vol
ume of business continues larger than year
ago. Collections are exceptionally good on
the whole, although money is in active and
increasing demand at nearly all points The
supply is ample for all legitimate needs. The
gold exports have increased; the foreign ex-
change has declined, and the money market
at present Is without any disturbing features.
Speculation is not, the whole, active
emo cgh to have n disturbing influence
Wheat has recovere 155 cents. Corn hes
declined ~ cents, and oats q cents. Spec
ulatIon in cotton has been larger and the
price has been advanced 3-16 by covering
stronger. In coffee the speculation has ad-
v6nced the price IL cents.
Stocks have been stronger, advancing on
an average of about 81 per share during the
week, with some indications of foreign in
vestors buying in a moderate amount.
The business failures during the last seven
days number 2ll, compared with 1S2 last
week, and PA the corresponding week last
year.

Colorado Coal.

CHICAGO, September 3O.-The news that the
Reading combine is sending the price of coal
skywald has led some western roads to con
slider the practicability of bringing Colorado
coal into competition with the Pennsylvania
products. Some say it can be done.
THE railroads have such rates now that il
would cost the dealers from SO to $3.50 pei
ton to lay down the Colorado coal in Chicago.
The rates, however are based on non-supply.
Colorado coal has never been brought so fal
east. With the demand for sufficient guam
titles to cause il to be shipped by train losdl
the rates could easily be reduced one-half.
