was appointed to collect data in ref

Rare Wit.
From the New York World

From the New York World.
The originality of Mr.. Depew's
humor, its spontaneity, its ever
readiness, its abounding superiority
to discouraging circumstance-all
these qualities of it are illustrated in
the latest and best jest of our
Chauncey. "Mr. Reid" he said, sis
the labor candidate on the ticket. He
was conceded to the labor element"
Why should the spirit of mortal be
sad while optimism of this charac-
ter and humor so refreshing exist
among us? The atmosphere is fresh
er now and cooler. It is as if the
ice-cart of Benjamin himself had
passed this way. "The labor candi.
date" Conceded to the labor ele.
ment." Think of it, Big Six, and
all ye labor unionists! And laugh
long and loud. And listen for Mr.
Depew's next effort.

No Discord Among the Departments Over

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-General Grant,
Acting Secretary of War, said to-day that
il is absolutely untrue that there is lack of
harmony between the Department of JUS
Uce and the State and War Departments,
gro wing out of the condition OF affairs along
lhe Mexican frontier He was corroborated
in this by Secretary Foster and Attorney
General Miller, each of whom was inter-
viewed on the subject. There is, however,
considerable speculation as to the object of
Captain Bourke's recent visit to Washing
ton, and an effort is being made to give it
undue Importance. 1t is learned to-day
his mission was strictly a secret one, and
that its object would be defeated by its be-
coming known just at present.
1t can, however, be stated positively that
Captain Bourke does not carry back to Texas

Indians Get There.

BY Strict Attention to Business the Usage
. Indians Get There.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3o.-Indian Com
missioner Morgan has transmitted to the
Secretary Of the Interior a certified copy
Of the proceedings of the Usage National
Council OF Indians in Oklahoma, in which
the request is made that the accumulated
interest money to the credit of the tribe in
the United States Treasury be paid to them
per capita at once, in order that they may
pay their debts incurred in building houses,
fencing farms, breaking lands, etc. Under
The provisions of the act of August 10, 1890,
The Usage are now paid $50, 900 each quarter,
lhis amount being the interest on their land
fund, minus the sum required for educa-
tiuHal purposes and for pay of employees
The records of the Indian Office show that
there is an accumulated interest fund now
in The Treasury to the credit of the Osages
Bmountingto over S800, 900, which draws no
Interest. In view OF the purposes TO which
the money is to be applied the Commits
siOuer recommends that $500, 900 be paid to
Them at once, in addition to the quarterly
payments. 1t is believed that the Com
lnissioner's views coincide with those of the
Secretary, and therefore his approval of the
recommendation is expected. 1t is said at
The Indian Office that this tribe, which now
Iumbers about 1,500 souls, has nearly
SS, 500, 900 in cash to its credit in the United
States Treasury, and, in addition, owns
bout ], 407, 900 acres of land, valued at
least at 50 per acre, which, according to
numbers, makes the Ossges the wealthiest
community OF any race in the world.

silver demonetized there would be such a
fight for gold among the nations, the high

THE BOMB THEORY DISCARDED.

A Verdict of Accident and Nobody to
Blame for Milwaukee's Disaster.

jury which investigated the fatalities at the
Becker-Conrad fire, rendered a verdict that
the four men came to their death accident
ally, and that nobody was to blame for the
calamity.
The evidence showed that every precau-
tion had been taken, but the onslaught of
flame and smoke was so sudden and over
whelming that escape was impossible. The
body Of Sullivan, the pipeman, has not yet
been found.
