pIsaorerIe. OF 3 ReIIef Boat.

New ORLEANS, La, October 6.-The
Ptcdylne's relief steamer, the Emma
McSweeney, returned at an early hour
this morning from Grand Islana and
Cheniere. Houses were lifted from
their foundations and thrown several
hundred feet. The Grand Isle Hotel
with its contents, valued at $4,000, Is
totally wrecked.
The inhabitants Of both islands are in
need of clothing, water and provisions.
The relief boat distributed all that 1t
had; she will take on cargo OF pro-
visions this forenoon and proceed direct
TO Chsniere.
Nine hundred bodies have been found
floating in the waters OF Grand Lake
and Bav Caminda. A family Of six were
washed to sea on raft and washed
back again when the wind changed.
The property loss on both islands will
be very heavy. The loss Of life at Cenn-
iere is not less than 700, and may reach
1000. Only eighteen persons were
killed on Grand Isle, though the de-
struction OF property there was great

WASHINGTON, d. c.. October 6.-The

resched. The iron and steel schedule
is perplexlnE knot TO be solved. The
frame work OF the bill before the major
ity is understood TO be draft submit

bers OF the com mittee find many changes
which they believe are necessary. IL
is understood that IL has beed definitely
determined that the sugar bounty shall
be repealed. A proposition is made 10
place a half centa pound on raw sugars,
or take of the same rate on refined
sugars.
1t is said that Secretary Carlisle has
been in consultation with the majority
during q portion OF the deliberations.
1t is generally believed bY the Demo
cratic members, not only on the Com
mittee, but Ia the House, that Increase
of internal revenue taxes is part OF the
administration plan.
Another feature Is the suggestion
that the money for pensions should be
separate fund raised in some special
manner.
An income tar and q direct tax have
both been suggested. The Committee
on Invalid Pensions have received init
nation that they may have TO act on
suggestions OF this kind.

Serious Crookedness Chsrged

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 6.--Be-
fore the House Public Lands Commit
tees to-day, Mr. Hudson in regard 10
the Cherokee Strip trouble, said be
knew from reliable authority that per-
sons had been allowed TO enter the
lands opened from the East side, get
ting an advantage over other intending
settlers.
He asserted that he did not believe
that the Interior Department was In
any way responsible, for the troubles,
but certain men were responsible, and
it was due to the department. that an
investigation be held.
He said ne had proof that John R.
Hill, Of New Jersey, was killed by SOL
diers under orders of Lieut.. Caldwell.
He read a letter from Rev. K. DeLoug,
pastor OF the Congregational Church OF
Arkansas City, Kansas, stating that
Lieut.. Caldwell gave permission 10
about 1000 people on the south side OF
the Strip to enter some time before the
time set.
Delegate Flynn, Of Oklahoma, was
then heard. lie said that the Chero-
kee Strip was under the Jurisdiction OF
Oklahoma, and the SheriGs should have
had charge Of preserving the peace in
stead of the military, and in sending
the troops there the government per-
petuated an outrage.
Mr.. Flynn continued TO read letters
charging the officers with fraud.
Chairman McRae stated that Mr..
Flynn's letters made many charges
against Secretary Smith, the land Office
aud the Democratic party, yet there
was nothing specific.
Mr.. Hudson then made an argument
for an investg alton.
The committee decided to meet Mon
day morning to consider the question
as to whether or not an investigation
was necessary.

SYRACUSE, y. Y, October 6.-An
hour before the assembling Of the Re-
publican State Convention in this city
to-day, there. were several lines Of pO-
liJical interests that were so sharply
crossed as to indicate that there would
be a tangle for the convention 80 ua-

There were, during the morning, un-
adjusted differences among the Repuo-
licans from New York City. Buffalo
wanted HaiRht 20 be the appeals bench
nominee, while several New Workers
were anxious that Judge Ramsey should
be the nominee, and within this wheel
were friends Of Judge VanD, Of Syra-
cuse.
Meanwhile the New York city folks
had upon their hands this problem:
first, the adjustment Of their own diff
ferences, which, broadly seemed to line
up in this way: Jacob Patterson aDd

Persons who are inclined to take a
gloomy view of pauperism and crime in
New York, would do well, suggests the
News, of that city, to glance at the Of
ficial reports OF the municipality of Lon
don. The two years ending January 1,
1891, the date of the last biennial re,
port, the cost of maintaing the paupers
of London was e2, $40, 600, the equiva.
lent of about $1l, 700, 900. During the
two years there were 109, 74S criminal
convictions. While these figures show
that the percentage of crime aud pauper.
ism IN London greatly exceeds that Of
New York, the same report indicates a
much lower percentage of attendance in
the public schools.

The statement published by the New

that it has been found profitable to ship
cargoes of horse meat from this city to
Belgium to supply the tables of the poorer
classes may be news to most New York
ers. A good horsesteak is not unpalat-
able, and though its edibility was dis
covered rather late in the day, thousands
of working people in Europe are now
glad to pay little over six cents a pound
for it. Beef is entirely beyond their
means, and so is the varied bill of fare
that most working people in this favored
land enjoy every day.

says stupendous as the timber resources

that we have entered already upon an era
involving their complete extinction, and
he wildly points out the threatening cal
antilles that will lfollow the disappearance
of our forests, not only in the extinction
of one of the Souths important indus
tries, but in the climatic changes that are
already, perhaps, beginning to make
themselves felt.

Every one that has observed the treat
ment of private soldiers in European ar
mics knows how like cattle they are re-
garded. Not long ago, relates the Buff
ialo Courier, saddle race was arranged
between officers of the Austrian and
Prussisn armies, the course lying from
Vienna to Berlin. A number of horses
were killed in this trial of endurance.
Recently the Austrian Government has
been drilling soldiers in the field, with
the thermometer at eighteen below zero,
IN order to test the relative endurance of
the Austrians, Hungarians, and Poles in
tue service. In determining this point
to the satisfaction of the Government,
1144 soldiers had their hands or feet
badly frozen. These things are not likely
to lessen the stream Of emigration to
America.

By faith alone.
The skies before him bowed,
Back rolled the ocean proud,
And every lifting cloud
With glory shonel
Fair Science then was born
On that celestial morn,
Faith dared the sea,
Triumphant DER her foes,
Then Truth immortal rose
New Heavens to disclose
And Earth TO free
Strong Freedom then came forth
To liberate the earth
And crown the right.
So walked the pilot bold
Upon the sea of gold,
And darkness backward rolled
And there was lightl
Sweep, sweep across the seas,
Ye rolling jubilees,
Grand chorals raise;
The world adoring stands,
And with uplifted hands
Offers from all the lands
To God its praisel
Ye hosts of Faith, sing on;
The victories ye have won
Shall time increase
And like Q choral strain
That fell on Bethlehem's plain,
Inspire the perfect reign

Pork is dearer now than it has been in

Italy expends every year 500, 900, 900

for schools. In Spain it costs 800, 900,
900 to main the army, and only 81, 500,
900 to educate the children; but then, it
is the exception to find a Spanish farmer
who is able to read or write. Germany
boasts of being in the foremost rank
among the Nations in the Kulturkampt
of the world; yet she expends 1885,
900, 900 on her army, while $40, 900, 600
is deemed sufficient for the education of
her children. France maintains an army
at an expense of $l6l, 900, 900 and sup
ports her schools with $21, 200, 900.
The United States expend $115, 900, 900
