WASHINGTON. July 17.-The absence
OF the president and his family at Buz-
Yards Bay is being taken advantage OF
TO thoroughly renOvate the White house
and to make some domestic changes in
the arrangement of the interior. Pres
ident and Mrs. CIeveland's sleeping
room will be Ill the future the chamber
on the north side of the use favor
ite room with them before, aud the same
room used by President Arthur in his
day. The smaller room at the corner
was used before by Mrs. Cleveland as
her boudoir, and has again been ar
ranged for the same purpose. These two
rooms were the nursery during the
last administration, and were entirely
dismantled after the sickness of little
Marthena Harrison. Both are now dec
Grated according to Mrs. Cleveland's
taste. The presidents bed chamber is
now red room. Mrs. CieYeland's bou-
doir is being decorated in light shade
of blue, with carpets, hangings and
otnc< accessories to match. President
HarrisonS old bedroom. known as the
Prince Of Wales room, is to be set
apart for the use of the presidents little
daughter Ruth and her nurse. The
other rooms on the south side of the
mansion are reserved for visitors.
On the parlor floor the red room is be-
ing prepared for all entirely new deco
ration from floor to ceiling. All the
crimson wall paper is being scraped off
and electric light men are sinking the
wires in the walls for the new fixtures.
The artist who is to decorate the ceiling
and frieZe is beginning to put on the
ground color. This room will continue
to be rec room. Not the dIll, aesthetic
red that was thought the acme of good
taste twelve years ago, when the room
was decorated before, but a much
brighter crimson, which will help to
make the apartment brighter on winter
days.
There are so many large pictures in
the room that the walls will be only
plainly covered with the red paper, that
will serve as rich background for
them. The ceiling will be study in

All the old woodwork has been taken
cut and mahogany mouldings will be
substituted to match the vesS fine man
telpiece which has been the most ele-
CANT thing ever in the room. A portrait
of President Cleveland and President
Arthur will always hang in this room.
The public stairway at the east side of
the mansion never looked shabbier than
it has lately. The army that passed
over it since March had left indelible
marks. The staircase has been painted
and vanished and begins to make a
very much better appearance.

A National Organization Formed
in New York.
NEW YORK, July 17.-Delegates from
theatrical employees unions IN many
cities gathered at Elk's hall today TO
form the National Alliance of Theatri-
cal Employees. Owing to the fact that
many of the present associations are
affiliated to different labor organiza-
tionS. this movement has been instituted
to bring them all together and give
them solid front i'll case they should
find it mutual advantage to be
leagued together in demand for the
betterment of their condition. 1t is
anticipated That the association will
shortly embrace 1900 empioyes
throughout the country.
The following officers for the new
association were unanimously elected: ::
John S.Wllliams, New York, president: !:
John G. Murray. OF Philadelphia, vice
president: John Gallagher, of Pittsburg,
recording secretary; William Moorhead.
of Boston, financial secretary: and Dan
iel Hart, of Chicago, treasurer.
MIR. Gallagher acted as temporary
chairman. He said that Pittsburg was
one of the largest theatrical cities, and
that theatrical employees there had long
looked for to the forming of a national
association. President Williams in a
speech said although the employees did
not come in for the applause. they we're,
in a way, as much entitled to it as the
Thespians. There were fortv-two dele
gates present from twenty-five states.

PIPEsToNE, Minn., July 17.-Fuller
details have come to hand Of the tragedy
in Eleanor township, meager report
of which was printed in the GLOBE last
Saturday, but there may yet be even
more startling developments. FIom
what is now known it looks as though
murder had been committed. A few
months ago two young men went on
this farm to do some plowing. Only
one returned, and when asked what had
become Of his partner he rather lamelY
replied that he had gone away. Moth
ing was thought of it ar the time, and in
few days the other man left the neigh
Dorhood, and has since not been heard
of. The whole matter had pass I'd out
of memory until Saturday, when the
owner of the farm went out to dig a
we'll. When he reached a depth of
three feet he struck bone, and contin-
uing soon unearthed a skeleton of a
man, the skull of which had two bullet
holes through it. The ghastly find re-
called the mysterious disappearance,
and the affair was laid before the county
authorities. An inquest will be held
tomorrow, ana may result in develop
ments, though the skeleton is past
Identification.

Sir Edward Gray Hopes That the
Affair Will Be Settled Peace
fully.
LONDON, July 1.-THE Earl of Rose
berry, secretary OF state for foreign af-
fairs, replying to question asked by
Lord bennington in the house of lords
today. said that the government was not
in full possession of the facts regarding
the dispute between France and Siam,
but that Great Britain was fully alive to
the responsibility attaching to her, and
would not lose any opportunities Of ob-
tanning a satisfactory solution of the
matter at issue.
In the house of commons Sir Edward
Grey, parliamentary secretary OF the
foreign office, made extended reference
to the announced intention of Hon.
George n. CurZon Conservative to
move the adjournment of the house in
order to discuss the situation in Siam.
Sir Edward appealed to the house not to
discuss the matter until further infor-
nation should have been received. He
promised that everything possible
would be done by Great Britain to ar
rive at pacific solution of the ques-
tions involved. 1t was imperative, he
added, to keep distinct from the main
issues certain allied questions, espe-
cially the question of Samese indie
~pendence. This statement evoked
cheers.
Continuing, Sir Edward said that all
the questions required the closest and
most careful consideration. The gov
ernment was fully alive to the necessity
of securing the safety of British inter-
ests in Siam. and If more war ships
were required al Bangkok or elsewhere
in Siamese waters. they wonld he
promptly dispatched.
Sir Edward further said that France
had Informed the British government
that the French gunboats had assembled
the Meinam river without instructions
to do so. but had added that the COM
mander of the war ships had been pro-
voked to this action by the Siamese.
Sir Edward concluded by stating that
he was able to assure the house that the
government had every hope that the
affair would be settled i'll q peaceful
and satisfactory manner.
When Sir Edward finished, Mr.. Cur
Zon said that in view of the statement
made by the representative of the gov
ernment he would abandon his intention
to move that the house adjourn.

The collision occurred at the Forty
ninth street crossing, which is a net
work of tracks and has always been re-
garded as dangerous crossing. A long
freight train going west had just passed
and the towerman, George barnett, had
raised the gates. This was taken as a
FIgnal that the way was clear, and
Driver Stalnecker started to drive across
the tracks. The passenger train was
rapidly coming from the west, however.
and just as the car reached the tracks it
struck it sQuarely in the center. The
car was turned entirely around and
hurled fully thirty feet from the point
where it was struck. Some of the pas
Sengers managed to save themselves by
jumping, but the majority were caught.

The engineer said that he did not see
the street car until it was on the track

him to stop the train. The towerman,
George Barnett: who raised the gates
and allowed the car TO come upon the

SOUTH DAKOTA LAND
Being Taken Up i'll Way to Make
Officials Hustle.

Special to the Globe
HURON, S. D.. July 17.-June was an
exceptionally busy month at the gov.
ernment land office in this city, it not
being equaled for several years, while
the quarter closing June 80 was also a
busy one. In the last three months of
the fiscal year there were made 33S final
timber culture proofs under the Picker
law and 100 final homestead and cash
proofs. covering 70.214 acres, and 100
homestead filings, covering 29, S12 acres
making total of over 1000 acres taken
from the public domain and given
worthy settlers in the short period of
three months. The fees and commits
sions received by the government for
the above were SS,595.5O, which is more
than the expense for running the office
for the entire year. and IN view of that
factit is not likely that this Office will be
abolished. During the fiscal year just
closed there were made COZ homestead
entries covering "a, 7S3 acres; 402 final.
timber culture proofs, covering $4,000
acres; 296 final homestead proofs, coY-
ering 1926 acres, and l24 cash sales.
covering IA, 100 acres, making a total of
236,SO9 acres disposed of during the
year. For this there was received for
the cash sales $17,6l4. and iii fees and
COMMISSIONS for the year S30.615. This
is an increase of at least one-third over
the business done the year preceding,
and this is one of the most convincing
indications of how the tide of immigra-
ton is setting toward South Dakota. In
the Huron district there yet remains
more than 100000. acres of land en-
braced in homestead and timber culture
entries not proved up. This amount is
increasing instead of decreasing, as the
number of filings exceeds somewhat the
number of proofs each month. In ad-
dition to this the official plats showed
Oh July lst. 1898, 274, ,060 acres Of vacant
land, distributed as follows:
Beadle county, 1850; Sphinx county,
2,22O; Hand county. 81, $50; Hyde
county, 200; Faulk county, 81, ,760;
Potter county. "a, 240.
That in Beadle and Sphinx is largely in
forty-acre lots. but in the other counties
choice quarters can be obtained in al
most any part. In Hyde and Hand par
tcularly there are four townships which
are practically all vacant lying within
twelve miles of the main line of the
Northwestern railroad. If this road
had shown the same enterprise in adver-
tising this land that the Milwaukee does
in advertising the Sioux reservation be-
yond Chamberlain, it would have been
eagerly snapped up long ago, and the
various counties and the road been
equally gamers. 1t is worthy of note
that large part of this land sells for rs
cents an acre instead of Sl.25, the usual
price,

WASHINGTON. July 17.-Telegraphic
orders have been sent to Commander
Whiting, commanding the United States
steamer Alliance, at Callao, Peru, to
proceed at once with that vessel to
Corinto, the port of the west coast of
Nicaragua nearest to Leon, where the
latest revolution is at its height. Com
mander Whiting is instructed simply to
use all possible dispatch in going to
CorlntO, and to protect American inter-
ests there. 1t will take at least week
to make the trip. The Charleston and
the Yorktown, now fitting out for serv-
Ice on the Pacific station, will be ready
to start in few days. 1t is probable
that one of them will be ordered to
touch at Greytown, on the east coast, on
the way down, in order to inspect the
situation with view to future action.
Secretary Gresham has received a
cable message from Minister Baker,
dated Managua, July 16, as follows:

Saigon 10 the Temps says: 1.-The
Siamese have long been massing troops
on both sides of the Mekong river in
order to stop the passage of French
gunboats. They were especially
energetic in building forts on
the left bank, and showed
a disposition to attempt a fresh block
ade of the French force on the island of
Khong. With view towards prevent
ing this, Capt. Villier on July IA took
Dontane-Thapun. After severe strug-
gle he routed the natives, and captured
thnrty-three prisoners. Considerable
military operations continue to be
necessary as a basis from which the
work of preserving free passage for the

At the same time, they decided, they

cast their lines, but it is reported that a
part of the time may be spent in the
vicinity of Black island. When the
president left today he appeared in the
best of health and spirits, and he has no

NEWPORT, R. l., July 17.-President
Cleveland arrived here about Z O'Clock
this evening. The Oneida anchored in
the outer harbor, and no one but the
steward has been ashore. Few knew
of the president being in this locality.
He apparently does not desire any
demonstration, hence the anchorage
III that out-of-the-way place instead
of with other yachts In the inner
harbor. 1t is expected that tomorrow
an early start will be made for the west
ward, where fishing will be resumed.
During the evening the electric search
lights at the torpedo station and upon
the yachts in the harbor gave quite an
exhibition of their powers. 1t was
witnessed by the president, though the
operators weIe not aware of that fact.
