Szczepanaky found the corpse last night in the pickling vat of a medical college. The girl's name was Louige Faber and she came from Germany. Three months ago she received money from her lover to brine her over to this country. Upon ber arrival they agreed to be married next Christmas, ana in order to save money she took service as a domestic. Two Greeks aco she was attacked with typhoid fever and was removed to the City Hospital, where, she died on Oct 7. Her lover called to see her.' but was refused admission, and on his return Saturday was told that she was dead and had been buried in the Potter's field. Taking an assistant he went out to secure the body but was horrified to find that, the grave was empty. He then made a search of the medical colleges, and yesterdav discovered the corpse in a pickling vat with fifteen or twenty others the college authorities had secured for the dissecting table, and it had already been" under the knife of a surgeon and bis class of students. They' said that tne corpse had been "snatched from the crave," and willingly surrendered it. Szcaepaoaky was almost overcome by the appearance of the remains, bat had the corpse removed to au undertaking establishment, from which the funeral took place. He was the only mourner that followed the corpse to the grave. FLOGGING AX ALLEGED ITJEST. The Fnnishment, However, Administered with All the Tenderness Possible. Montreal. Oct. 13. A man named Domase Desorneura Ditcasson, who called himself a priest, was sentenced, at the last session of the Court of Queen's Bench, to twenty-three months imprisonment and to receive twenty lashes for having committed an indecent assault on a young girl. In court the prisoner begged for mercy, pleading that he desired to retire to some religious institution and continue his religious exercises. The magistrate, however, imposed the sentence named above. The flogging took place this morning in the presence of the jail physician and other French-Canadian doctors and representatives of the press. The prisoner was brought into one of the corridors of the jail and tied up to a triangle. A stalwart warden wielded the cat, which consisted of nine lengths cf whipcord, each knotted in three places. The prisoner looked pale an,d trembled. "One." said Jailer Fayette and the cat fell on the prisoner's bare back. "That is ssire," said the prisoner; "not so hard," and the whipper kindly complied with the request and laid on the remaining blows as if he were afraid of damaging the prisoner's bactc. At the conclnsion of the punish rnent the prisoner thanked the whipoer for bis tenderness and put on .his clothes without any visible signs of pain. The Strawbnarit Manufacturers. Toledo. O.. Oct 13.

STEVENSON & JOHNSTONE 37 East Washington St. CAN'T IMPORT A MINISTER. 1 Startling Application of the Law Prohibiting Importation of Contract Labor. Nktv YoRr, Oct. 13. United States District Attorney Walker decided, to-day, that the ease j cf the Rev. E. Walpole Warren, recently called from England to the rectorship of the Church of the Holy Trinity, comes under the 'Contract Labor Law," and that he will be forced to com mence suit against the vestry and wardens of the church. The history of this case is, in brief, as follows: Some months ago a Scotch farmer named Cummings came to this country nnder contract, and was refused permission to land, on the ground that it would be a violation of the law against the immigration of persons under contract t6 perform labor or service in this country. Mr. J. S. Kennedy, president of the St Andrews Society of this city, endeavored in vain - to get permission for Cummings to land, and the farmer was sent buck to Scotland. When it became known tb at Rev. Mr. Warren was coming to this country under contract to fill the pastoraee of Trinity Church, Mr. Kennedy notified Collector Magone of the fact and demanded that he be not allowed to land. The protest was not heeded and the preacher landed. Then Mr. Kennedy appealed to the Secretary of the Treasury, who replied that the matter bad parsed beyond his jurisdiction, which only went to the extent of preventing a lauding; but that, if the law had been violated, it was the duty of the United States District Attorney to begin an action against Rev. Mr. Warren's employers and aeainst the captain of the ship which brought him here, to recover the penalty of $1,000 for violation of the law. Mr. Kennedy thereupon Appealed to the district attorney, who, this afternoon, mads known his decision as above. He says it is plain that the law does not refer cierely to manual labor only, for it expressly exempts "professional actors, artists, lecturers, and singers," and as the Rev. Warren is neither of these. he falls plainly within the law. The . district attorney intimates a rather poor opinion of the law, bnt declare it his duty to enforce it. Mr. Kennedy eays he has no feel Id if either against Rev. Mr. Warren or Trinity Church, but that he proposes merely to make a test case in order to bring an obnoxious law into disrepute, and he writes to the clerk of Trinity parish, saving that in case the church is mulcted in $1,000 damages he (Mr. Kennedy) will make the amount good to it A PRIEST'S TROUBLES. Charged with Financial Irregularities, Intoxication and General Incompetency. Bpecial to the Indianapolis Journal Saratoga, N.Y.,Oct 13. Troubles that have been brewing in St Peter's Catholic parish for some time past, culminated to-day in an investigation, which is going on at the church, condoled by the Very Rev. Vicar-general Burke, assisted by the Rev. Father McDermott, of Gens Falls, and Rev. Father Riley, who acts as clerk for the Vicar-ceneral. It is the outcome of a general bill of charges preferred by several of his influential parishioners against the pastor, the Rev. John M. McMenomy, who has administered tbe church services here for many years. Tbe charges against tbe pastor comprise insufficient reports as to th; church revenues, refusals to wait upon thedy'jg, intoxication, his assertions that the pew-rents were paid to the Bishop, an arbitrary and tyrannical government, and a general mismanagement through incompetency. Rev. McMenomy is much annoyed and distressed at the proceedings, and meeting Dr. Farrell, one of the complainants, on the street this afternoon, upbraided him and threatened to cane him. It is said that tbe venerable pastor has laid his books and accounts at the disposal of the investigating committee, and its renort, when concluded, will be transmitted to Bishop McNierney. Valuable Salt Discovery. Hutchinson, Kan., Oct 13. While sinking an experimental well in south Hutchinson, at a depth of 470 feet a. deposit of rock-salt was struck, which, for the thickness of tbe principal vein and purity of the product, may be classed among the richest mines in tbe world. A number of veins were drilled through, varying in thickness from even to forty feet, separated by thin strata of shale. At a depth of C65 feet a vein was struck, which, up to last night, has been penetrated to a depth of ninety five feet, &nd tbe drill is not yet through. An official analysis of the product shows it to be over 96 per cent, pure, and absolutely free from the principal impurities which make rock salt unfit for domestic purpose.

WOBK OF A CORONER'S JURY

Mitchelstown Verdict Likely to Exert Great Influence on Irish Affairs. A Danger Point Which the Authorities Can Only Avoid by Using All Possible Efforts to Keep the Matter as Quiet as May Be. Mr. Chamberlain Continues flis Campaign Among the Loyalists of Ulster. A High Medical Authority Clings to the Opinion that the Ailment of Crown Prince Frederick "William Is Not Cancerous. TOE MIXCUELSTOWK VERDICT. A Finding Which Pate the British Authorl- . ties In an Awkward Position. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London. Oct 13. The verdict of the Mitchelstown inquest is a great blow to the government, whose only course now is to try and hush up matters by quietly seeking to avoid any issue. This course they are already pursuing by their removal from Mitchelstown of the police especially mentioned as guilty, and for whom warrants of arrest ' have been issued. This secretion of the indicted police is etigmatized as puerile, and exhibits the cowardly manner in which Irish affairs have been conducted all along. It is stated that a warning came from Dublin Castle to the coroner's officer to arrest the indicted police at his peril, and conveying, an implied threat to him if he did so. ' But this is idle. The government may be assured that if the police can be found the warrants will be served upon them and the guilty men at least arraigned. Whatever may be the outcome, the ruling minds of . Dublin Castle will be ia a bad situation," and will lock very pretty in the eyes of the world. If the men who were their agents, and who rep-, resented them, are arraigned for murder and convicted, it will mean the culminating failure for the government, and coercion will have to be abandoned on account of the blunders of its ministers. On the other hand, and, what is far more likely to bapnen in case the police are arrested, is a refusal on , the part of the government to prosecute them. This course would subject the government to the renewed disapprobation of the people in general, for the coroner's action is legal, despite the vagaries of the Inquest The United Ireland reasserts that the telegram sent by Solicitor-General O'Brien to tbe crown counsel is genuine, and also states that Captain Plunkett, fearing arrest or attack, has fled the conn try. The latter statement, however, is doubted. Tbe inspector-general of constables has issued an order suspending the execution of the coroner's warrant for tbe arrest of Inspector Brownrigg and others, against whom a .verdict of murder was rendered at Mitchelstown yesterday, pending an appeal to quash the finding of the jury. United Ireland, Mr. William O'Brien's paper, to-day publishes six columns of reports of various National League meetings, and observe?, "This is how coercion terrorizes the Irish." Mr. John Bright has written a letter denouncing a leaflet by Mr. Gladstone, headed. "liemember Mitchelstown," and eigred, fV. EL - Gladstone." Mr. Bright says the leaflet shows the depth of the degradation to rhicn fLhe Lib-, eral party has been rapidly forced by alliance with the promoters and leaders of rebellion in Ireland. Mr. Gladstone's followers are ready to adopt any cry or charge he makes to excite tbe passions of ignorant men against the erovernment he wants to supplant, and which he is passionately laboring to sucoeed. Mr. Chamherlaln In Ulster. London, Oct 13. Mr. Chamberlain visited Coleraine to-day, where he received a number of Liberal Unionist delegates from counties Derry, Antrim and Tyrone. In an address Mr. Chamberlain said: "He rejoiced to find himself where he eould speak to a loyal Irish majority, not composed, aathe followers of Gladstone and Farnell suggested, inclusively of landlords and those seeking to protect their personal rights. The most enthusiastic adherents of connection between Great Britain and Ireland are to be found among the sturdy artisans of Belfast and the small agricultural tenants and laborers, who felt that the cnange proposed would endanger their lives and liberties more than those of persons more fortunately circumstanced. The government ought now to deal with the poor tenants in arrears. Ireland might expect greater benefits from the government in future than she had received in the past He, himself, had sent to Mr. Gladstone a purchase scheme embodying a proposal for revaluation ot Ian ?, and providing money without pledging British credit The Government was considering a similar scheme. If-the people of Ulster resolved not to submit their property and lives to the League and were conscious that separate treatment of Ulster must be made a cardinal condition of any settlement relieving Ireland from her present connection with Great Britain, it wonld be difficult to dispute such a consensus of opinion. It will be impossible for those who claim greater liberty for themselves to logically demand that odious servitude be imposed upon other. If Ulster is resolute there was no power in the kingdom to compel her submission to the rule of the League. Mr. Chamberlain addressed an audience of 5,000 at Belfast He said, he would appeal to them as hard-headed, practical men, to consider how their interests would be served by the surrender of the protection of the imperial Parliament for the rule of O'Brien, Tanner and Sexton. Groans and Laughter. Those gentlemen, he said, were not very clear as to what they would substitute for the present government Fancy pictures had been drawn of tbe results which would follow the proposed change. There would be no rents, no evictions, no olie, and there would be no law breaking a circumstance easy to understand, because there would be no laws. Laughter. Great industries were to arise magically, the soil would become more fertile, and farmers would obtain better prices for products. He was not more skeptical than most men, but be regarded with hesitation such fancy pictures. Tbe fact was, Ireland was poor, and a majority of her population depended on agricaltore for a living. In close juxtaposition to Ireland was the best customer in the world. Was it not suicidal to weaken the bonds uniting Groat Britain and Ireland? Was it wise to risk the losing of the most profitable part of Ireland's trade? He knew he should be told that separation was not the question, but be was perfectly certain the creation of a practically independent parliament at Dnbliu would be followed within a few years, perhaps within a few months, by absolute independence and seperation. Ireland wanted capital to develop ber resources and to enable her industrious farmers . to dispose of their produce favorably. England bad capital enough and to spare, and if tbe co t jtry was peaceable she would pour her money into Ireland, but capitalists would not send money to Ireland while persons claiming the right of government are doing their utmost to show that laws were only made to be broken. FREDERICK IVILXIAX'S THROAT. The Medical News Still Thinks th Disease Ia Not of Cancerous Character. Philadelphia, Oct 13 The Medical News of this week contains the following in reference to the health of the Crown Prince of Germany: "In view of the alarming reports as to the recurrence of the growth in the Crown Prince's larynx, and of its undoubted cancerous nature, which, during tbe week, have appeared in the daily press, the following cable, just received rrom 2ir aioreu .Mackenzie py the Medical News, is of interest: 'The Crown Prince's throat is free from recurrence of the laryngical growth. A chronic inflam mation remains, with a disposition to sub-acute catarrh on slight exposure, or after much talking.' In the light of this authority there exists bo reason to alter tbe view already expressed as to the noncancerous nature of the

growth. The Prince, however, seems to have suffered from an aQack of acute inflammation of the windpipe, and in case of recurrence, to which be appears liable, th'a might lead to changes in the deeper tissues. Should stricture ensue, the complication would be serious."

An Alarming Report. London, Oct 14. The Chronicle' correspondent at Berlin says be has learned from an unimpeachable authority that the condition of the German Crown Prince is preearious, and that Dr. Mackenzie's treatment has failed; that the Prince became so weak at Toblach that he coid travel only by easy stages, and that he poktively refuses to submit to any further o;.ration, although the original symptoms have reappeared. - GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Indications that Caflarel Will Be Made a Scapegoat for the Decorations Scandal. London, Oct 13. Paris is still excited . over tbe decoration scandal. The government is trying hard to hush the affair up, and although, as' Gen. Boulanger insists, and many think that he is the one aimed at, there are far too many persons, and they all of prominence and social standing, to bring the matter to any issue. It is quite likely that General Caffarel will be made the scapegoat, and there the affair will rest Tbe traffio in decorations is too old a story to ; be the means of dis rupting political party, and the government will assuredly conceal their morti fication, and their desire to punish the guilty will go unrequited. A Cabinet council has decided to place General Caffarel on the retired list of tbe army. The decree for the execution of the decision will be submitted by General Fcrron. Minister of War, to President Grevy for bis signature. General Caffarel s,will be dedeprived of his decoration of the Legion of Honor, and his pension, granted for thirty-nine years' service in the array, will be reduced from a,t,"j0 francs to 4,900 francs. " - m Restorlnc Order in the Congo Free State. JjOvdok, Oct 13. Vigorous measures are contemplated by which to return order to the Congo Free State, and will soon be out in operation.

Tbe supposition is. however, that the cities of Mazatlan and Sanbash have been partially if not wholly destroyed by the hurricane and tbe tidal wave.

DAKOTA'S INDIAN TROUBLES

Alarming Condition of Affairs in the In eih borhood of the Crow Agency. The Allotment Surveys Stopped by Threats of Violence, and the Indians Showing an , Aggressive and Very Ugly Temper. Attitude of United States Government as to the Bearing Sea Seizures. It Claims Jurisdiction Over the Entire Body of Water Status of Indians as Citizens Miscellaneous Washington Jfews. BAD MONTANA INDIANS. The Trouble at the Crow Agency and the Csnte. Leading Thereto. Washington, Oct 13. The Secretary of the Interior, late this afternoon, received information that the Indians on the Crow Creek and Lower Brule reservations in Dakota had, by their threatened violence, stopped the allotment surveys, in progress on the reservation, and that further trouble is feared. Secretary Lamar has had a consultation with General Sheridan, who leaves to-morrow for the West, and it is said steps will be immediately, taken to meet the emergency and resume the work. Tbe Secretary of the Interior to day received a telegraphic report from Special Agent Howard on tbe situation a tbe Crow agency, in Montana. The agent says: "On Friday evening, the 30th of lass month, everything was quiet and peaceful, and the Indian families were nearly all around the agency to draw their rations on the following day. The a gency butchers were slaughtering cattle, a large train of Indian freight wagons were being unloaded of agency goods into tbe warehouses, and everything was busy and cheerful. Agent Willismsand his wife were on the porch of bis house, he reading his mail, when about 5 o'clock the young buck 'Medicineman' and about fifteen or sixteen of his followers rode through the ageucy (the buildings are in tbe form of a horse shoe) to the slaughter-house, and then partially separated into small bands, one of which, five or six in number, headed by this . Medicineman, all in full war paint and feathers, and well armed, rode around tbe agency buildings and fired into tbe roofs of all the houses, particularly at tbe agent's office, on the east side, where the agency interpreter was standing. 'Medicineman then put tbe gun be carried close to the interpreter's stomach and slowly raised it up and fired it over his bead. He then came to the agent's dwelling on the west side and fired a volley at tbe roof. Tbe Indians were very defiant and insolent, and there was not tbe slightest provocation for it There were none of the agent's police near at the time, but bad there been they could not not have arrested those fellows without muoh bloodshed, and, I believe, a general massacre. I think tbe agent acted very wisely in not attempting to arre.t tbem with the police force. Two troops of cavalry arrived on the ground about 10 p. M., but tbe officer in charge did not have instructions to make any arrests, but to protect the agent, employes and property. After the arrival of the troops, this same party of Indians and followers continued to make hostile demonstrations, and sent word to tbe soldiers that they were ready for them, at tbe same time removing all their squaws, old men and children from their tepees to the opposite side of the river. The troops went into camp about 11 p. sl The agent, thinking everything to have a aieted down, retired and extinguished the licbta in the house. The defiant rang of Indians next went to the traders' store and .demanded' ammunition and were, of course, refused. They then fired into the store, and the trader's wife and clerks had to barricade tbe windows with bales of blankets to protect themselves. There were five or six bullet-holes shot through the building. The gang kept up their shooting around tbe agency building, openly defying the Eoldiers, nearly all night, and making night hideous with their yells. From the trader's store they again came to the agent's house, having been reinforced by several followers, and made hostile demonstrations. On the porch of the bouse were tbe agency inspector and a few friendly Indians, when 'Boy-that-Grabs.'chief of tlie Indian poiice, reported to the interpreter that those fellows said that they bad come to kill the agent "On Saturday morning two more troops of caviJry arrived at the agency, and for five or six hours this gang and some sixty or seventy followers stationed themselves on top of a hill overlooking tbe agency and about a quarter of a mile from where the troops were ramped, aud dared and defied them to come up there and take them. In the evening they disappeared and have been planting the seeds of discord among tbe whole Crow tribe ever since, and abusing all Crows as being old women because they will not join tbem to . fight the whites. Thes Indiana have not only stolen horses from the Piegans, but from the white settlers along their line of plundering. Th;s Medicineman, who is the leader of this bad element of Indians, gained his notoriety very recently. He has been quietly and gradually demoralizing the young Crow bucks. He is a very bad Indian, and if he and his followers are not arrested all tbe progress these Indians have made will be lost for years to come, and the whole Crow nation completely demoralised. These fellows made many threats which I have no) embodied here. The longer the am st of tbe fellows is nut off, tbe more danger there will be." The agent and his employes are quietly and cautiously attending to their usual duties, but on the outside all is demoralization, Indians being gathered together in bands on different portions of the Little and Big Horn, having abandoned their farms and apparently waiting to see what will be tbe result, and also anxiously fearing raids from the Piegans, who are reported to be out in several bodies. There is one company of infantry here. General-Dudley, the post commander, has in every particclar acted with promptness and has tendered two troops to remain hern to-day and to-morrow, during the issuing of rations, but the agent has declined to accept tbem unless to arrest the offending parties, a the presence of troops only excites the Indians. General Sberidan leaves for tbe West tomorrow and will be absent some time. He will probably visit, while attEent, the Crow Creek Indian reservation and the Brule Indian reservation, where trouble now exists among the Indians. This afternoon Secretary Lamar and General Sheridan had an extended conference on the Indian question, and the proper steps will at once be taken to meet tbe emergency and resume the work which has been temporarily suspended because of tbe threatened attitude of the Brnle Indians. In regard to the troubles at the Qrow Creek reservation. General Sheridan does not think there will be any serious difficulty, and he has not yet directed, nor will he probably order tbe United States troops stationed there to arrest the rebellious Indians. He is of the opinion that no further trouble will occur, and that it is better to proceed by peaceable means to deal with the Indians rather than by force, which in their present excited state, might lead to a general uprising where there now exists but a few disorderly Indians. Secretary Lamar concurs in this view, and will await developments before he takes any farther action in the matter, trusting to the generally peaceable disposition of the Crows to prevent further disturbance. THE SEAL FISHERIES. Grounds on Which Our Government Claims Jurisdiction Over Banting Sea. New York, Oct 13. An Ottowa special, to the Herald eays: "The government here are in receipt cf advices from Sitka which contain the brief which is understood to have been prepared at Washington and recently filed in the court at Sitka by Mr. A. K. Delaney as counsel for tbe United States in the seal fisheries dispute. The plea in defense is that the United States has no dominion over the waters of Behring sea beyond a marine league of three miles from the Alaskan shore. Mr. Delaney takes the po sition that Behring sea is not a portion of the open or high sea, but is an iuland water cut off from the ocean and essentially land locked. He says: " "Concerning the doctrine of international law establishing what is known as the marine

league belt, which extends the jurisdiction of a nation into adjacent seas for the distance of one marine league, or three miles from its shores, and following all the indentations and sinuosities of its roast, there is at this day no room for discussiop. It must be accepted as tbe settled law of nations. It is sustained by the highest authorities among law-writers and jurists. It has been sanctioned by tbe United Stales since the foundation of the government Well grounded as is this doctrine of the law of-nations, it is no more firmly established as a part of the international code than that other principle which gives to a nation supremacy of juris diction and dominion over its own inland waters, gulfs, bays and seas. If a sea is entirely en closed by tbe territories of a nation, and has no other communication "with the ocean than by a channel, of which that nation may take possession, it appears that such a sea is no less capable of being occupied and becoming property than the land, and it ought to follow the fate of the oounlry that surrounds it Tbe Medvterracean in former times was absolutely enclosed within tbe territories tbe Romans, . and that people, by rendering themselves mas ters of tbe strait which joins it to the ocean, might subject the Mediterranean to their empire and assume dominion over it They did not by such 'proceeding injure tbe rights ot

other nations, a particular sea being manifestly designed by nature for the use of tbe countries and nations that surround it' "Mr. Delaney then makes numerous references to prove that Russia always asserted tbat Behring sea was an inland water, and that the United States has always maintained the same ' position since she acquired title. Tbe bribf then goes on to state bow Russsia's title was based on 'discovery and settlement,' and how the United States acquired its title. "The treaty; between the United States and Russia, germane' to the question involved in the ease, is quoted in full. In conclusion Mr. Delaney says: 'The foregoing record may convey but a meager idea of tbe indomitable energy and perseverance displayed by the Russian people in acqniring empire in North America, beginning with the discovery of Behring in 1723 and extending for more than a century and a quarter, wherein they braved the perils of land and sea, ovecama a savage native popnlation, faeed ice and snow, storm and shipwreck, to found and maintain empire on these rugged shores. Enough has been said to disclose the basis cf Russia's right to jurisdiction of the Behring sea under the law of nations, viz.: Original possession of the Asiatic coast, followed . by discovery and possession of the Aleutian chain, and the shores of Alaska north, not only to Behring strait, but to Point Barrow and tbe frozen ocean, thus inclosing within it territory, as within tbe embrace of a mighty giant, the islands and waters of Bebring sea. and with thi? the assertion and exercise of dominion over land and sea. Such is onr understanding of the law, and is the record. Upon them the United States are prepared to abide the judgments of the courts and the opinions ot the civilized world.' " THE STATUS OF INDIANS AS CITIZENS. Incidental Opinion from Mr. X,amar Concerning Negro Emancipation. Washington Special. There is some misapprehension as to the operation of the severalty act in regard to the oitizensbib of tbe Indians. This misconception of the new law is shown by some statements which have recently been made in the West to the effect thatall Indians are now citizens of the United States, and are amenable to the laws of the respective States and Terrl- I tories in whieh they reside. These statements are based upon the belief that all Indians were made citizens by the allottment act, which was passed last February, Such is not the effect of of the act The law provides a way in which all Indians may become citizens, but in most instances some preliminary steps must be taken before this can be accomplished. The status of the Indians nnder the allotment act, as it is interpreted at tbe Indian Bureau," is this: The act practically divides the Indians upon whom citizenship is to be, or may be conferred, into three classes: (1) Any Indian born within the territorial limits of the United States, who has taken tip bis residence separate and apart from an Indian tribe, -and adopted the habits of : T r l j i c - . l . . i i a i . - civuii.u me, is uy i.ne aci iifreuy tjf-ciareti to be a citizen of the United States." Ali India ua who avail themselves of this provision will become citizens, but they will not become citizens until they comply with the conditions of the act. (2) Any Indians to whom allotment have already been made nnder any law or treaty are now citizens. As to this class of Indians tha law is self -operative. They become citizens by Indians and tbis class constitutes the main body of tbe Indians will not become citizens until the allotments provided for by the severalty act shall have been made. The allotment of lands in severalty is now proceeding upon several reservation?, and th Indian office will allot all of the lands as rapidly as possible. Tbis is a work which, naturally, mnst be done with great care. There was an interesting incident this afternoon at the Interior Department at an interview, between Secretary Lamar and a delegation of Oneida Indians from Wisconsin. These Indians, sIia foow litfl lanil ft.lr fliet. tViA KttipAf rv9 the Interior decide that they bo given $500,009 with which to purchase lands. Dr. Bland and Mr. Howard, of tbe defense association, were present and opposed the severalty policy; whero- v for Secretary Lamar quite sharply rebuked them, saying that they used the old argument of the pro-slavery men, and he (Mr.'Lamarj, although once a slavbolder himself, was of opinio? that the shffrt and violent cut to emancipation; had, perhaps, been the wisest. FORGER BROCKWAr. A Dangerous Criminal Keleased After Serv intr a Five Years Sentence. Washington Special. Brockway, the forger, who has just been discharged from Sing Sing, is regarded by the Secret Service officers of the government as oc of the most dangerous criminals tbat the authorities have ever dealt with in this country. II was not much of an engraver, but his knowledge of chemistry and eiectrotyping was valuable to him in making useful the contributions of engravers who worked with him in collecting the materials for producing counterfeit notes and bonds. When he was convicted, in 1880, before Jndge Benedict of counterfeiting a $100 National Bank note and a five-twenty bond, be was released upon surrendering about $1C,000 in the counterfeit notes and twentyseven counterfeit plates, and upon giving some information about the manufacture of the distinctive papers in his possession. The latter information was never of any use and his story about it is not now believed. The story that he received leadplate impressions of notes and bonds of the Bureau of Engraving is repeated in some cf tho statements about hi m, although it has often been denied. All tbat there ever was of tbat story was the fact that one imperfect impression of the back of a National bank note was snr- , reptitiously taken and need with a roake-up front The Doyle bond is erroneously fcpoken of as one obtained in the same way, whereas any one who has bad opportunity to compare the Doyle bonds with the original can see that there are so many differences in the two as utterly to destroy the lead-plate-impression theory and prove that the captured plate was an "original counterfeit" William E. Brockway conld not keep out of counterfeiting, for after be bad been released in 1880 it was only abont three years before be contrived the counterfeits on the Morris and Essex bonds, for whieh he was sent to Sine Sing for five years. He was fify-eight years of age in 18S0 when eonvieted in the United States court MINOtt MATTERS. List of Indlanians Whose Applications for Pensions Have Been Granted. Washington Special.
