which have been received from him.
1t is not likely that his claim .or mil
lions will be paid, inasmuch as he does
not accompany his communication
with any proof of his title to the
money.
Some amusement is found in the let
ter which was sent about year ago
by n Phladelphian, and addressed 10
"Alrs. Hoke Smith, Interior Depart
ment." The message Is written on a
piece OF newspaper, cut into an l.
shape, about six inches long and four
inches wide. 1t reads as follows:
cleveland gives way TO the money
besmeared bankers instead of to the
peoples wishes and two-thirds of the
party. When he falls out Of the white
house he will see the day and feel the
weight of his mistake. Not one poor
democrat of 81, 62, 'G3 or '65 has got
an Office from him in Pennsylvania"
Another crank who has contributed
abundantly to the crank file" is A. Il.
Moore, of Greeley Col. lie apparently
has no claim before the department.
His hobby seems to be a religious one,
or an irrcligious one, for he declares
shat he wants to prohibit Christians
from observing the Sabbath day, The
following is a sample Of his writings:

TIE FAsHODA INCIDENT.
An Agreement Arrived at by the British
and French Governments and
War Averted.

Paris, Oct 2S-As foreshadowed in
dispatches since the commencement of
the present embroglio with Great
Britain on the subject of Fashoda, an
agreement has been arrived at by the
two governments in the matter and
war may be said to have been averted.
Indeed, all danger of conflict be-
tween the two nations is practically
at an end, for France has complied
with the demands of England, and
has agreed to withdraw Maj Mar
chand and his expedition from
Fashoda, leaving the question of her
right to foothold in the Bahr-el-
Ghazel and to a station on the Upper
Nile for subsequent friendly negotia-

some time came in on December &c,
1895, 1t was from German, living in
New Jersey, and is devoted to state
ment of claims which nc desires the
department to settle. His name is L.
III. Frederick, and he AYERS in his
communication and in those which
have been received before, that the
government owes him $4,404000 on
what he calls the "Frederick claim"
His letter is couched in ridiculous and
absurd language, but the climax comes
M the address which he has put on the
Aetter. He evidently had little regard
for Hon. Hoke Smith, eX-secretary of
the interior, for he addressed his COM
munication to "Mr Hockey Schmit."
UIe tells that he believes that the sec
Wetary of the interior intends to cheat
him out of his money, but he hopes
that it may be paid within month,
otherwise he will turn the case over
ITO two lawyers who will institute civil
prosecution against YOU"
While examining the "crank file" at
Fhe interior department recently an
other communication was discovered
from Mr.. Frederick, in which he re-
ferred to his elaine" The message
was written on large square piece of
ananiIla paper, which apparently had
Ibecn picked up in the street, for it was
BADLY marred with dirt and tobacco
Stains. He renews his threats of "ciyil
prosecution" and says he hopes the
secretary Of the interior will answer
him 10y return mail. The letter has

MODELS FOR THE WORLD.
American Army Camps About Havana WIN
Be as Near Perfect Ms Can no Made
WAr.hIpa Wanted.

Havana, Oct 2s.-The American evac-
uation commission continues to advise
sending warships here, but can get no
reply from Washington. The reason
may be that Admiral Sampson has re-
fused to join Gen. Wade and Gen. But
Ter in recent requests. A joint session
OF the two commissions will be held
soon. Gen. Parade sent communion
ton to Gen, Wade asking II the Amer
leans would consent TO another joint
session. Gen. Wade had previously
given notice that he and his associates
were tired Of meeting without re-
suit, and would not again confer with
the Spanish in formal session unless
there was some probability of agree
ment on the date of evacuation. A
frank talk Gen. Butler had with Gen.
Parade few days ago resulted in this
request for a joint session to which
the Americans yesterday assented,
saying they would select a date later.
From an American commissioner 1t is
learned that this session will almost
certainly result in making arrange
ments for evacuation. AS predicted
in these dispatches few days ago,
Spain will agree to withdraw her
troops by January and relinquish SOW
ereignty by December.
In the meantime the work of prepar-
ing for the landing of American troops
is progressing as rapidly as possible.
Col. Hecker predicts that the American
camps in Havana province will be
taken as models by the armies of the
world for years to come. None of the
abuses of last summer will be per-
mitted. The soldiers health will be
protected in every possible way.
Those quartered in the city must sure
ly suffer many losses from disease, but
the country camps will, it is believed,
be kept free from fevers.
Gen. Butler warned Secretary Alger
that some show of strength must be
made soon or America would lose all
prestige with the Cubans. To this
warning there has been given emphasis
by the reported return to the hills of
band of insurgents who had been en-
camped near Sagua. 1t is believed
this move was counseled by several
fiery leaders. Only so men are said to
have gone out, but others are likely to
follow any day. According to Gen.
Gomez, it would require 10000 men to
capture so insurgents fighting as guer-
rillas in the mountains. The insur-
gents in the neighborhood of Havana
are quiet but far from satisfied.

GILL. ON Hickory rrees.

The hickory gals are made by some
of the gall lice described by Drs. Fitch,
Walsh and Sinner and others. There
is no connection, whatever, between
these and caterpillars. There is, as yet,
no practical measure known that will
effectually prevent the attacks of these
gall lice upon the leaves of the hickory.
Beyond disfguring leaves by their APP
pearanee, they do no special harm. The
caterpillars can be easily destroyed by
the timely use by arsenical poisons.-

THE cow AT EIGHT.
IL She Has Been Well Cared For She
Should Then BE at Her
Very Hest.

Many dairymen and others who milk
cows for profit believe that when
cow reaches the age Of seven or eight
her useful years are over, and that she
should be replaced by one younger,
says a writer IN the New York Trib-
une. But, other things being equal,
this is mistake. a cow that has
been well cared for, with generous ra-
tions and proper attention given to
her comfort, through all seasons OF
the year is better and will make a
more profitable return az eight years
old than at an earlier age; in other
words, she is in her prime, and she
will continue in this condition several
wears, and will not be considered an
old COW until IA or Is years have
passed. Cows with first calyes-at two
or three years-are generally un-
profitable in their milk yield, and
a really good COW between seven and
eight years old will pay better reve-
nue. than two that are performing
their first years duties in the dairy
herd, and she will probably consume
but a little more food than one of the
Younger ones. This fact is worthy
of the consideration of those who are
dairying for profit.

point to c. F. Crcwley's affidavit on file in suit TIPS.
 1 Ex-Governor Wolfsy further con- 1 tended that the legality of the re- ! ceiver's appointment and his car-
 tifcates had never been heard and de
 ter1nined, nor had the responsibility ol the receiver and his bQndsmen for the
 above described departure by the re- ceiyer from the plans and specifications ordered by the court. The ground was
 taken that only in suit TIPS could these matters be heard and determined.
 The las- suit, No. 1896, brought af- ter .-he property was in the hands O. the receiver under slit No. TIPS and suit No. 1896, was always maintained as an independent action. No re- ceiver was ever appointed in this suit, nor was the receiver under suit No. 1728 ever made q party to sui5 No. 1996
 Ex-Governor Wolffey and his com pany cOntended that suit No. 1926 was absolutely void because the court never obtained jurisdiction Of the property which was the subject matter Of the suit; also that the property once in the possession Of a receiver of a court cannot be proceeded against except in che suit in which the receiver was appointed, and 9 receiver is an officer of the court only in the suit in which he was appointed. and is not subject to the orders Of the same court except in that suic.

PEORIA CANAL SOLD
J. s. Greenhuf and Diners of Peoria, ElE., Purchasers.
A Re organization 10 Be Effected af Once and $2OO,OOO Applied to Rebuild inc Dam.

The sale of the Peoria canal, which had been continued since Monday, took place yesterday from the north front door of the court house. There was only one bidder, J. B. GreenhU- of Peoria, H., who was represented by John s. Stevens of Peoria, who came here about two weeks ago.
 MT Stevens bid SIS, 800 and assumed the indebtedness of the canal company represented by III receivers certifi- cates of the par value of 1000 each. Ninety-three of these certificates are already held by MT. Greenhut and his associates.
 The cash bid by Mir. Stevens was in tended to cover the court costs and the receivers expenses. It was paid in. The consummation of the sale requires now only it's confirmation by the court and the execution of deeds to the prop erty by Receiver bIcMillan.
 Late yesterday afterrCCn ex-Gov- ernor W olfey caused ;,he receiver to be cited to show cause why he should not be restrained from executing the deeds. Thus a possibility of still fur ther extended litigation is presented. Judge Street set mex Saturday for the hearing.
 In an artile last Tuesday morning on the then pending sale, mention was made Of petition in injunction agaist it, which had been filed by ex- Governor Wolfleq and which had been dismissed. It was stated that the principal objection urged in the peti- tion against the sale was that the re- ceiver was not the proper person to conduct it, since his Cfice was the re- suit Of one suit, whereas the order Of sale had resulted from another.
 The ground taken by the petitioner was more fully as follows: That un- der suit TIPS the receiver Jas appOini- ed and issued his certificates with the proceeds of which he was ordered by the court in that suit to build the dam upon the plans and specifications ordered by the court in slit TIPS. The appointment Of the receiver and the is- sue of the certificates were opposed Dy ex-Governor Wolfley's company on The ground that they were unauthorized. IL was contended by MT. Wolfey that the receiver in building the dam departed from the plans and specifications to such 8 degree that the engineer upon whose recommendation he cCur- haG acted in it's approval left the work pro- testing that the dam as being built was not safe and -hat it would go Out with the firsl1 high flood, and after making this protest ne engineer left the work, refusing to either be respon- sible for it or to be longer connected with it.
