Cleveland Hears the News.

BUzzARDs BAY, Mass, June 23.-Mr.
Cleveland and his guests had not re-
turned when the news of his nomina
ton was brought to his cottage this
morning. The ex-president was heartily
congratulated upon the result. Gov
ernor Russell predicted that the Demo-
Gratis would win glorious victory. Mr..
Cleveland said he was deeply touched by
this mark of confidence from his party.
He did not think that differences IN
Democratic conventions were at all
hurtful, but in view of the Importance
of the coming campaign he could see no
reason for lack of harmony and united
and active efforts to win.

THE nomination of Grover Cleve-
land at Chicago was inevitable. 1t
is the will of the people, who. know
him and want him. That he will
be the next President of the United
States is an assured fact. Mr..
Cleveland is not an untried man ;he
was President for four years, and
his honest, economical, practical
government met the approval of the
masses. If there is leader in the
Democratic ranks who can carry the
party on to victory in November,
we have just nominated that man
at Chicago. His wise policy and
soundness on all public questions,
his honesty, sincerity and courage,
his great popularity, his eonspicu-
business as a champion, are too well
recognized and appreciated by the
people not to mean victory for the
democracy. Three cheers and a

of holding Democratic primaries in

officers at this meeting. 1t gives as
its reasons that this would avoid
combinations, unfair schemes and
will secure free and untrammeled
vote of the people in each county,
uniniiuenced by the action of people
in another county. The Enterprise
also takes the position that the cost
of primaries in this way would be
very much less and the party would
be in a great deal better shape than
where the primaries were held sep

SOME DAISY CUSTOMS OFFICIALS,

According to Report Submitted by the
New York Surveyor.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Acting Secretary
Spaulding says the recent changes in the
customs service at New York were made
in accordance with the recommendation of
the customs officers at that port. The fol-
lowing is a copy of letter written by the
Surveyor of Customs at New York recon-
mending the removal of % inspectors of
customs:
As one result of nv observations l find
that the practice of demanding and receiv-
ing bribes and unlawful fees and gratuities
is quite prevalent. The nature of these Of
fenses, involving, as it does, the criminality
OF the giver as well as the receiver, almost
necessarily forbids complaints by the giver
and knowledge of them only reaches me
through third parties under the seal of con-
fdence. Another result of the inyestiga-
tions have set on foot convinces me that
many of the force lack the possession of
qualities which are essential to the
honest, efficient and courteous performance
OF duty; some are addicted to habits
of intemperance to such an extent as to re-
nect upon the service ana to render them
incomplete for the performance of official
duty: some are habitually discourteous and
oppressive in the conduct toward citizens
who are so unfortunate as to have official
business with them; while others are accus.
toned to shirk duty, arrive late at their sta
tlons when they pretend to work, and fire.

Others are nabitnal borrowers of money

RESTING ON THEIR OARS.

World's Fair Congressional Managers
Awaiting Further Developments at
Chicago-Mr. Durburow Not Borrowing
Trouble on the Constitutional Question
Raised-A Lively Debate Booked.
WAsH1NGToN, d. c., Feb 6.-The Con-
gressional managers of the Worlds Fair
project are at present. resting on their oars,
so to speak, and are awaiting developments
at Chicago before proceeding with work
here, except in a quiet way. There are a
number of petitions and memorials pertain
ing to the fair before the Columbian Expo
sition Committee, but it is unlikely that
they will be considered in advance of'action
on the bill to give Government aid to the
fair. which is the principal business that
will come before the committee during this
session.
A regular weekly dav of meeting was
selected at the time of organization of the
committee, but in view of the fact that
there is very little for the committee to do
until the bill which the managers of the E1-
position will ask Congress to pass is drafted,
Chairman Durburow stated at the last meet
ing that regular sessions would not be held
journed subject to tile call of the Chairman.
The committee will not be unnecessarily
called together, and will probably not hold
any meetings for some time vet.
The resolution offered by Mr. Dickerson,
of Kentucky, calling for an investigation
by the Judiciary Committee on the consti-
tutionality of the Worlds Fair project, and
of Government aid in the shape of appro-
priations, is viewed with ccmplacency by
Mr.. Durburow and friends of the Exposi-
tion. They say they are entirely satisfied
to have the Judiciary Committee look
thoroughly into the constitutional question
raised, confident that the conclusion reached
will not be adverse, but, on the contrary,
will be favorable to the Exposition. The
Worlds Fair bill, they say, was drafted by
three of the best lawyers in the West, viz,
Mr.. st. Clair, Edwin Walker and Frederick
Winston, and will stand the test of legal
scrutinv
When the Dickerson resolution was Of
fered, Mr.. Reilly, of Pennsylvania, one of
the members of the committee, made the
suggestion that the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position Committee should have jurisdic-
tion over it, instead of the Judiciary Com
mittee, but Mr.. Durburow asked Mr.
Reilly, who thought of raising the point in
the House, not do so, and said that it would
really be for their advantage to let it go to
the Judiciary Committee, which was done
without any contest
The resolution providing for an investi-
CATION of the expenditure heretofore made
from the funds appropriated By the Govern
ment for the fair will come up in the House
next week, and it is expected there will be
a spirited contest between the Appropria-
tions Committee and the Special Columbian
Exposition Committee, each of which has
resolutions prepared on the subject, the
pgiDcipal point of difference being one as to
the committee which shall conduct the in
vestigation.

GARZA GIVING TROUBLE.
War Department Officials Worried Because

War Department omcials Worried Because
the Outlaw Is mt Large in American
Territory-Vigorous Action TO Capture
Him at Last Decided Upon.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 6-The Cara
movement along the Mexican border is CIV
ing the officials of the War Department
trouble, just at present. No secret is made
of their disappointment that Cara is still
at large in American territory and that his
operations cannot be confined exclusively
to Mexican territory.
Cara and his followers are known to
have received aid and sympathy from the
Mexican residents in the vicinity of the Rio
Grande, and the fact that United States
troops are unable to capture the revolution
lists is in a large measure attributed to the
deceptions practiced on them by these peo-
pie. General Grant, Acting Secretary of
War, and General Schofeld had confer
ence with the President on this subject,
TO-DAY, and it is understood that it was
decided to take vigorous action to capture
Cara and his immediate followers and
drive them out of this country. Senor
Romero, the Mexican Minister, also had
talk with Secretary Blaine on the same sub
ject to-day, and was assured that this Gov
eminent would do its utmost to preserve
the neutrality laws
The President of Mexico has withdrawn
the suggestion recently made by him that
Mexican troops in close pursuit of the rev.
olutionists be allowed to cross the Rio
Grande at points where the exact line of
division of the two countries is as yet un-
defined, a like privilege to be conceded to
the United States troops under similar con-
ditions 1t is understood that this action
was taken at the suggestion of this Govern
ment on the ground that the presence of
armed troops on foreign territory might re-
suit in dangerous international complica-
tions The two governments will continue
to cooperate, however, in the strict en-
forcement of the neutrality laws.

Remnants of Once Powerful Tribe Sleep
ing just Like Bears.
HELENA, MONT, Feb 6.-[Srscia'. IA
correspondent at Woodside, on the summit
OF the Rocky Mountains, in Deer Lodge
county, this State, writes as follows: REV
L. L. Wood, Baptist minister, owns
ranch here, and his son Harry
has one adjoining, which extends
up to the foot hills There is very extern
sive cavern near the latter. Last fall a
wandering band of Maqui Indians was OBJ
served entering the cavern, but day after
day, week after week, and month after
month passed and the Indians had never
been seen to emerge Wood, his sons, Louis
and Harry, John Anderson, and about
20 other men from Marcus Daly's ranch, de-
termined to find out the intentions of the
band. Heavily armed and well supplied
with torches they entered the cave, and
after proceeding fully q mile thev came
upon the Indians they were in search of.
There were about 40 of them, and
they were all in comatose state, hibernat-
ing, like bears and other animals. They
had been there in that condition ever since
fall, and are still there with the exception
OF boy and girl who were taken to the
DAILY ranch
ut is impossible to thoroughly awaken
them, however, and they will not eat or
drink. When let alone they relapse into
the same comatose state. This is probably
the last remnant of a once powerful tribe.
They will not be disturbed in their long
slumber, and their temperance with the
bears in the spring will be watched with
interest,""
