The excitement over the threatened outbreak of the reds on the border is growing hourly more intense. Dispatches havo been passing between General Ruger at St. Paul and the officers of Ft. Assiuaboino and other posts in this neighborhood, and it is understood troops have been ordered to move at a moment's notice. John S. Roberts, partner of the late J. E. Clifford, killed at Flathead lako by tho Indians, is here and says of the fight: "The savages lay in wait for him and shot him. They feared him too much to do it openly. The Indians who did the deed aro Kootenais and not Flatheads, as stated. The Flatheads aro allies of tho whites, and their proud boast is that they never killed a white man. The place where this all took place is known as tho upper Flathead country, and is composed ot the small settlements of Selisht Egan, Dewersville and Ashley. Thirty miles beyond Ashley is a place known as Tobacco Plains, where the Indians live, and that is but forty miles from the Canadian line. There aro about seventy-live white families in all and about 2,000 Kootenai Indians. The Indians are all armed with Martin-Henry rifles and if any outbreak should occur tho whites are utterly defenseless. They are 130 miles from tho Northern Pacific road at Ravalli. At this timo there is an abundanco of snow, and travel to the railroad would bo almost impossible. They would be butchered before getting one-third of the way. In the 'summer they could tako the steamer on tho lake and thus escape. The men are prepared in a way to resist an attack if they can get their wives and children out of harmrs way. The Indians got their ammunition from this Canadian line, and are always well supplied. Dewersvillo.where Clifford waskilled,is a miserably small place. It consists of Griggs's cabin,, tho cabin occupied by the ferryman and the United States land office, Clifford's store and hotel, and a liquor store. The place is a veritablo trap, and if an outbreak occurs the whites cannot escape. Frequent appeals have been , made for a company of soldiers." Great excitement also provails at Pocatello, Idaho, on account of tho closing of all places of business on tho reservation by order of the Indian agent, acting under instructions from Washington, bpecial notices aro being postedonall business houses, declaring them closed and the buildings erected since Sept. 1, 1688, subject to confiscation, thereby rendering 2,000 people homeless. That it is the determination of the citizens to prevent tho Indian police from destroying their property is very manifest. Strenuous efforts are being inado to settle the difficulty and if it is not accomplished there may bo trouble. St. Paul, Feb. 22. According to the officers at army headquarters in this city, the dispatch from Missoula, M. T., regarding Indian troubles is absolutely without truth.

WHATTHECANADIANSWAST

Tliey Would Trefer to Work Out Their Political Destiny in Their Own Way, In the Meantime, Unrestricted Commercial Relations with the United States Are Ardently and Earnestly Desired. CHICAGO, Feb. 22. In accordance with its annual custom, the Union League Club today celebrated tho anniversary of Washington's birth. Its commemoration of that event was begun in Central Music Hall this afternoon. Tho platform was occupied by distinguished men from various parts of the Union, and the large auditorium was completely filled with prominent people from this and other cities. Ex-Gov. Jacob D. Cox, of Ohio, who was Secretary of tho Interior in Grant's first Cabinet, was tho orator of tho day. Taking as his subject, "Washington, the Citizen's Example," he delivered an eloquent, although radical address, which at times aroused tho critical assemblage to more than ordinary enthusiasm. Ho deplored at length tho decadence of the simplicity in political affairs that marked tho administration of tho first President, the tendency of politicians and pension agents to control tho soldier vote, and the corruption which prevails in politics, and strongly coramen ded civil-service reform, on the ground that the offices belong to the whole country aud not to any one party. At 7:30 o'clock this evening tho members of the club and their guests sat down to the annual banquet at tbe club-house. At its conclusion tho following programme of toasts was taken up: American Policy for the American People," Gen. Russell A. Alger, of Michigan; "The Political Relations of tho United States and Canada from a Canadian Stand point," Henry W. Darling, of Toronto: Manifest Destiny," Hon. Frank E. Davis, of Minnesota; 44 The American Commonwealth," Bishop Charles Edward Cheny. Mr. Darling said, in part: To thoughtful Canadians the word 'annexation' has an ominous aud unattractive ring, conveying to them an impression of a confession of failure in the mission committed to them by their forefathers as to tho future destiny of their country an impression that they are adopting voluntarily, in despair, tho only course open to tnem, if they aro to escape irreparable disaster, or an impression of coercion and forco at Which their nature revolts and which they are bound to resist. I think I correctly describe the prevailing sentiments of Canadians generally, when I say tho word 'annexation' is extremely distasteful to them. You would probably despise them were it otherwise. The tie that binds them to the motherland is a silver thread that can be broken, practically, at will: but this affection for the land of their forefathers is a feeling which is and always will be predominant in their breasts. British Canadians clingto the glories and traditions of the race. They hope to be able to preserve all the characteristics of England's prosperous policy. They have neither sympathy with, nor encouragement for, the enemies of the British empire. They may be mistaken as to their ultimate destiny; and they may overestimate their ability to make tho North American continent the home of a great and independent AngloSaxon race; but if their political relations aro to bo changed, it will come about as tho natural sequence of events, and not purely as the result of an appeal to sordid or material considerations. I can conceive of a Solicy of injustice to ono of tho provinces cing carried to an extent that might produce a movement in favor of the separation of that province from tho confederation, with a viow to union with tno United States; but such an agitation, if based upon righteousness and equitable grounds, would be almost certain of accomplishing tho removal of the injustico, or the defeat of tho party in power perpetrating it. The feeling against Americans bred by Jrour revolutionary war, which drove the oyalists who founded Canada into exile; by the war of 1812, and by subsequent mishnderstandmgs has largely passed away; bnt the growth of good will is a different thine from readiness for political union, and I cannot help earnestly adjuring you, while wo aro discussing the advantages which I hope to lay clearly before you of another union, to dismiss from your minds the question of political union. I refer to what is known as commercial union, or unrestricted reciprocity or continental free trade, whichever of these terms may best convey tho idea to your minds. I would ask you to look at the map of North America and say whether it is not in violation of ail tho indications of naturo that artificial barriers to trade and commerce should bo erected along an imaginary line stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, between peoples of common descent and common language, who are engageu in a common aim, namely: mo making tributary to their material advancement of tho vast resources of nature, which, by the bounty of Providence, havo been placed at their disposal. Granted, for a moment, that there aro two nations; that each has its individual interest to serve, and its national requirements in tho way of revenue to be provided, tho policy that separates them at present docs not exist mainly for revenue purposes, because your treasury is an overflowing one, and the policy of Canada was adopted as alternative to one which, had you been willing, would havo been infinitely preferred bytheirpeople." The speaker then reviewed at length the question of trade between the United States and Canada, showing that since 1850 the balance in favor of the United States had aggregated over $200,000,000; that when the treaty of 1854 for an exchange of natural products went into effect there was a great increase in international trade, and that when it was terminated, in 1860, by the United States, because of supposed Canadian sympathy with the South, there was a great falling off1, to the decided injustice of both nations. Tho speaker proceeded to present statistics of trade, showing, among other things, that Canada's trade with Great Britain, though unrestricted, was falling off, while with the United States, in 6pite of restrictions, it was increasing. The speaker declared that the position taken by Hon. Ben Butterworth and other American statesmen on reciprocal trado had caused an agitation of unparalled rapidity in Canada, though it was somewhat checked by the passing of the retaliation bill, which, however, he believed, grew out of a political exigency. With reciprocal trade, he thought there would be no difficulty about assimilating the tariffs of tho two countries, as tho tendency in tho United States, ho said, is downward, while that in Canada is upward. Internal revenue would be treated in the same way. The speaker continued: As a large proportion of Canadian imports reach Canada through American cities on the seaboard, tho loss of revenue to Canada in this way would have to be adjusted by a contribution from a common Surse, tno details of which would not be iflicult to arrive at, and there would be involved in this an arrangement for tho permanency of the fiscal policy of the countries for a fixed number of years, which would have to bo longenoughto induce our manufacturers to adapt themselves and their machinery for the supply of the larger market which the changed circumstances would require. Another proposition is, that reciprocally the duties should bo abolished by both countries upon ail products and commodities, tho growth, produce or manufacture of the other country, leaving treedom to each country to levy what duties they might think proper upon tho goods of other countries. Tno object, you will notice, is the same, namely, to secure continental fre-3 trade; and tho methods by which it may receive effect may be very well left to the diplomatists and statesmen to arrange." Mr. Darling continued by pointing out the advantages of an exchange of natural products all along the border, and combated the objection that the population of Canada, being so much less than that of tho United States, would have the best of tho bargain. He closed with a statement of the objections to commercial union from a Canadian stand-point, and a plea for the settlement of the fisheries and other disputes between the Dominion and tho United States.

John Willock Noble, who has been so frequently mentioned of lata as booked for a place in President Harrison's Cabinet, entered tho Union service in the civil Iwar as adjutant of the Third Iowa Cavalry, and roso by gallantry and ability through all tho grades to be its Colonel. He served with great credit to himself in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama' and Georgia, taking part in numberless skirmishes and engagements, expeditions and raids, and showing himself at all times to be a brave, enterprising, and capable officer. He took a conspicious part in the liual cavalry campaign through Alabama and Georgia under General Wilson. HU regiment was attached to Winslow's brigade of Upton's division, and was led with great coolness and dash at all times and especially in its dismounted night attack upon the fortifications covering Columbus, Georgia. They and their gallant companions of the Fourth Iowa and Tenth Missouri swept irresistibly over all obstacles, capturing over 3,000 prisoners, 53 guns, two gunboats, and an almost incalculable amount of stores, - ammunition, and cotton. Colonel Noble had already won his brevet of brigadier-general and shown himself worthy of still higher promotion. Educated at Miami University and Yale College, and trained as a lawyer, he was frequently called upon to perform provost marshal's duty and to write paroles, ono of which, in behalf of tho peripatetic editor of what had come to bo known as the Memphis-Jackson-Montgomery-Columbus Appeal, attracted great attention for its vigorous English and the comprehensive conditions it contained. As a soldier General Noble was a line, handsome, deep-chested, sturdy-limbed, dashing figure, of splendid health, medium size, and distinguished ability. At the end of the war he was recognized as one of that brilliant assemblage oi cavalry officers who had done so much to end the etruircle in tuu ucuiiiu ouuuiern otates. Ho was rapidly rising into prominence, and nothing but the termination of hostilities prevented him from reaching high rank and lxuiiuiiuui, commano. As soon as he was mustered out he resumed tbe practice of the law at Keokuk, i uut Biiwi mierwaru removea to St. IjOuis, vhere he rapidly acquired prominence, and muuuuiuD us uppoimeu uniiea states district attorney, in which office he rendertru mvat important service in the prosecution of the whisky ring.

The Association of Indiana Florists mtX 1 yesterday afternoon, with the president, J. i D. Carniody, of Evansville, in the chair and ATilUara G. Bertennann, of Indianapolis, secretary. Tho following members werejia attendance.lWilliam S. Gordon, J. A. HaugL ! Mrs. Keeley, Theodore Bruckner, Ernest Hueckriedc, William Laugslaff, John Ba j ker, Henry Schwartz, EcL Bissell, Henry !

Law, VT. 0 Foley. President Cannody, in his address, noted that tho floricultural industry was among tho latest creations of the enlightened world; and that a liberal patronage of the florist and the press is an unfailing evi-' dence of a high state of cultivation in a community. He held, that the presence of flowers is a necessity to more perfect enjoyment of society, and that their cultivation by the masses tended to the general elevation of society. Ho especially urged tho advantages offered in this direction by window culture, which is beneficial ia crowded cities, and gives to tho outer world ovidenco that the occupants ia the houses of windows so adorned are peoSle of taste and culture. Ho thought win. ow-gardening most successful where boxes instead of pots are used in which to crow plants. The culture of house-plants, he held, should be encouraged. When placed in a window in a Mock, in a short timo orders from other persons in the 'neighborhood came an to tbe florist. Even professional mcn will get them for their windows. In foreign countries, especially in Chiua, this method of plant and liower-growinc:, within and outside of windows, is practiced to a far greater extent than in this country, and there every con venient piace is occupied with flowers. Mr. j Carmody said that children should bs taught the culture of plants, andasthf grow up flowers will be a necessity to their more perfect enjoyment. Secretary Bertermann made a report of tho second, annual chrysanthemum exhibit held at Tomlinson HalL Ho showed that it was a success in every particular, except from a financial stand-point, as it had left a deficit of 6184.13. The receipts were $1,523.37, and more had been paid ia premiums than on the previous year, showing that theso exhibitions are not given by the florists for the sake of making money. The amount paid in premiums at the 6econd exhibit was $518.5$. The case of balls kindly given by the Michel Seed and Plant Company, of St. Louis, was won byJ. L. Hunt, of Indianapolis, on guessing nearest the number of beans in a jar; there were 3.G0G beans, and Iho guesser guessed 3.61S. The society now has fifty-one raying and three honorary members, the society starting two years ago with thirty-four members. A resolution was passed indorsing the mil of Wm. Langstatt', a member of the society, who is a member of the Legislature, his bill being to provide for tho beautifying of tha State-house grounds. Mr. Langstaffsuggestedthatan association among the florists of Indiana, a kind of insurance company, would be a good thin?. Tho object ot thismutual association should be, if anything happened to a creen-bousa of a member, whether destroyed by tire or storm, to replace his plants, one florist out of his abundance furnishing 6ome plants, and other florists helping out with other things needed. The suggestion was considered a good one, but was not actedupon. The nomenclature committee of the national association camo up for discussion. It was generally agreed to be a good thine, though not in favor with many catalogue florists, who invented new names lot plants and flowers, pretending to have developed something new, instead of whicn they deceived by renaming and selling Jt fancy prices. This had been done in f ucn8ias, roses and many other articles. E. G.Hill, of Kieliniond. read a paper. "Essential Points in Chrysanthemum Culture." He laid great stress upon the 6oil for Chrysanthemums, which, ho said, should bo half nice fibrous loam (r0ttjj sod), one-fourth leaf mold, one-fourth old thoroughly rotted manure. These constituted an excellent compost for the growth of these grand flowers, lie thought this might be further improved by having four quarts of pure bone flour to every six bushels of compost As to the feeding of cbrysantheinus ?nd plants in general, they can exist aid flourish oa some ono kind of suitable food, bnt a change of food is best, and will bring wit a it surprising results. One week a very lign dressing of tine old cow manure, well pulverized, should be used, and the next weeK liquid maure, and soon, ought to be applied. Feed commences after the bnd sre set, and the interested and observing grower can readily see tho quantity ana timo to apply the standard. Soot-water maybe used with advantage througnoui the whole season at intervals. Kcnioving suckers from tho plants should be performed carefully, so that the surface root may not be injured or torn. , lYederick Horner, of Lafayette, read a paper on"ine vaiueoi rxniuiuous, tion that, bv a unanimous vote, it was sen to the American Florist for publication.
