or more appointments which are known TO
be agreed upon and in which in many cases
the commissions have actually been signed
The appointments made to-day were not
enough to satisfy those in waiting.
The nominations of the register and re-
ceiver of the land office at Sitka, Alaska
follow the creation of those offices by a
special act passed on the last day of the
session of Congress just ended. Far in
advance of the establishment of the office
applications for appointment came pouring
in at the General Land Office and a large
number of papers relating TO them have
accumulated. Roswell Shelly, named for
receiver, is u close friend of Commissioner
Hermann, of the General Land Office, and
is well known in the State, He is a mer-
chant and resides at Portland John w.
Dudley of this city. nominated for register
is a lawyer and civil engineer He is a
young man, a little over twenty-five years
old, and a son of Gen. William w. Dudley,
the lawyer politician and eX-commissioner
of pensions
The act on which these appointments are
based also provides for a local land office
for the western district of Alaska. This
however, owing to the lateness of the sea-
son and the fact that little could be ac-
complished there this winter, will not be
carried out until some time next spring
when, according to present expectations,
land office will be established at Circle city,
nine hundred miles up the Yukon river
near the gold fields. Subsequent develop
ments however, may change this location,
in view of the rapid changes and shifting
in population. The Sitka office was created
at once, in view of its coast location

CLAYToN-BULwER TREATY.
Possibility that 1t VIII BE Abrogated
by the United States Senate

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Public men in
Washington were generally surprised when
the announcement was made in the cable
dispatches, few days since. that the ques-
ton of the Clayton Buw-er treaty had been
raised in the British Parliament in connec-
ton with the proposal to annex the Ha-
waiian islands to the United States and
also were consequently prepared for the re-
spouse of the British government that the
one question was not involved in the other.
the matter is regarded here with all the
greater interest, because both subjects -
the validity of the treaty and the annexa-
ton of Hawaii-are under consideration by
the American Congress, and BOTH, in all
probability, will receive attention during
the next session The Senate committee on
foreign relations which has already re-
ported upon the annexation treaty, has
undertaken an Investigation of the present
status of the Clayton Bulwer convention
and the general expectation, on account of
the predictions of members of the sub
committee having the question in charge
is that a report will be made favorable to
the abrogatiOn of the treaty. 1t is under
stood that majority of the members of
the committee consider that England has,
by repeated acts in Central America, nulli-
fled the treaty. There is also a large ele-
ment in the Senate which regards the
treaty as obnoxious to the Monroe doctrine
Others look on 1t as liable, in an Indirect
way to have, through it's reference to the
nicaragua candl, a bearing on the Ha-
waian question. Those of this class do not
admit that there is the remotest reference
to Hawaii in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
but they claim that Hawaii and the pro-
posed isthmian canal, to which the treaty
has especial reference. are so closely relat-
ed as to render the future bearing of this
treaty on the Hawaiian problem a matter
of interest. 1t is understood that the COM
mittee will be prepared to report soon after
the converting of Congress next December.
One of the points of doubt on the part of
the committee is as to how the treaty is
regarded by the British government. 1t
appear that while England has generally
acted in Central American affairs as she
would have been expected to act if there
had been no treaty, the English authorities
have never given expression to any official
sentiment to the continued effect of the
agreement made between Secretary Clayton
and Sir Lytton Bulwer.

CONTROL of THE SENATE.
1t Is Almost Certain to Pass to Repub-
Icans in 1890.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-rhere are thir-
ty senators whose terms will expire in 1899,
the fate of two of whom.-Messrs. Hanna
and Gear-will be decided in 1885, The re-
suit in at least thirteen of these States may
be considered doubtful. namely, Washing
ton, Wyoming, California Delaware, In
diana, Maryland, New Jersey New York
North Dakota, West Virginia, Wisconsin,
Ohio and Nebraska. The Oregon vacancy
will undoubtedly be filled by a Republican,
in which case sixty senators swho do not
retire in 1899 will comprise thirty-two Re
publican, nineteen Democrats five Popu-
lists and four silver party men. Adding to
these the senators whose election is prac-
tically certain and the total is: Republic
ans Al; Democrats, %; Populists, 5, and sill
yer party 6. SO that Republicans need to
capture but five of the thirteen doubtful
States to have majority In the Senate.
Among these doubtful States are at least
seven which repudiated free silver and
may be safely counted upon to do it again
Even if the Democratic party were not
hopelessly hampered with free silver the
best it could do would be to tie the Repub-
leans Under the circumstances now pre-
vailing it seems certain that the Republic
ans will regain their lost supremacy in the
Senate in 1898 without serious effort.

Gold Production.



The revised figures of gold production
IN the United States have just been pub
hshed by the Engineering and Mining jour
nal, the delay having been caused by err
rorS in the earliest bulletins issued by the
director of the Mint. According to these
latest tables the production in the United
producer among the States was California,
which yielded $15 235, 900: followed closely by
Colorado with $14S67971. Next in the list
is South Dakota, which yielded $4919 000 the
product principally of the Black Hills re-
gion. Montana produced 81, 1924 700 Alaska
2055. 200 and New Mexico $475 800. From
present indications the yields of Colorado
and New Mexico will be greatly increased
in the near future. In the last named ter
ritOry prospecting and mining operations
have been greatly retarded by reason of the
uncertainties in the title to the innumerabe
Spanish grants scattered throughout that
region; but these are being rapidly settled
by a special court which has for two years
past been sitting at Santa Fe, and as a
consequence this rich and extensive region
is receiving the attention it deserves.
AS there is nothing to indicate a falling
off in the current production of present
gold bearing fields outside the United States
it may be assumed safely that the supply
of gold will increase, rather than diminish,
for some years to come. At any rate the
somewhat gloomy predictions of Professor
Svess, that a gradual decrease might be
looked for with the exhaustion of the South
African region. are losing force in the light
OF the more recent discoveries. Mankind
is only beginning to have knowledge of the
mineral riches that are scattered over this
globe.

BULLETS OF SOLID GOLD

NATIVES OF SOUTH AFRICA.
Noted Rebel Chief Slain by the Brit

rest of Indian COnspirators.

LONDON, July %. - Ri. Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary OF state for the col
onies has received a dispatch from her
Majesty's high commissioner at the Cape
stating that in the fighting at Fort Martin,
near Hartley South Africa, Saturday,
the noted chief, Mashingombi. was slain
and between four hundred and five hundred
Of his followers were taken prisoners. The
government forces occupied all the posi-
tons at Marbles kraal where they cap
tu1ed more than one hundred prisoners.
A dispatch from Fort Salisbury says that
the British forces took the natives COM
pletely by surprise. When a charge was
made upon the walls the natives fled to
their caves, in which they were afterward
captured, Magosmsbis cave being de-
stroyed with dynamite. Mashingombi was
wounded during the attack and died soon
after being taken prisoner. Two bullets
made of solid gold were found after the
fight.

PROPOSED MILK TRUST.
English Syndicate Wants to Control
the New York supply.

NEW YORK, July pa meeting of milk
dealers was held here to-day, at which, it
is said, the project under consideration was
the forming of a combination among the
wholesale dealers somewhat after the
scheme of a trust. Although the dealers
themselves were reticent on the object of
the meeting b. F. Vanvolkenburg, form
erly assistant commissioner of agriculture,
says that the combination was discussed
and that the proposition was made on be-
half of an English syndicate which is buy
ing up all the milk routes in this city
There are $1,000 forty-quart cans of milk
delivered delivered here every day and they i5ey
represent total valuation OF $39,-
500. The proposition of the syndi-
cate is said TO be that the dealers
going into the combination turn over their
routes to the trust, receiving half payment
in cash, and the remainder in stock, and
by so doing become division Superlntend-
ents Where three or four routes overlap,
which is very often the case, they will be
consolidated into one. This would reduce
the expense of delivery TO customers. The
provisional agreements that have been
made are to become binding, it is alleged,
when the owners of routes on which 10000
cans are delivered daily accept the condi-
ton of the syndicate

Not n Recent Grab.

WASHINGTON, July Estate Depart
ment officials say that no issue is presented
by the seizure of Palmyra island by the
British, reported some days ago by an in
coming vessel, for Great Britain has main
tanned a claim to the island for the past
nine years. The island is said to be in the
Polynesian group, and although Hawaii has
asserted a claim to its possession, our gov
eminent has not been strongly impressed
with the validity of the claim. Meanwhile
the British, it is said not only have as
serted a claim to it, but have actually occu-
pied the island for some years past. In
view of the probable annexation of Hawaii
by the United States, the matter doubtless
at the hands of the State Department, but
it is not expected that the subject will
prove to be difficult of adjustment, partic-
ularly in view of the fact as stated by
naval officers, that Palmyra island is moth
ing more than a barren rock in the Pacific,
distant a thousand miles from Hawaii.

Capitalization of capital now so marked
