Governor Mellette Sanguine of S access In the Coming Dakota Elections. Pfai to tLe indlanapoUs Journal. Washington, July 20. "I am hero," said Governor Mellette, of Dakota, this after noon, "upon matters of business relating to tho Territory." "What havo you to say as to the outlook?' "It is my firm conviction that tho Republicans will carry everything without trouble. I believe wo shall be able to capture not only the congressional seats in the three districts, but the Legislatures in both States, and all the State offices," "Do you fear any bad results from the action of the Prohibitionists?" "No, the Prohibitionists and tho farmer? are very active, but they have determined that the tight which they have to conduct shall be conductediwithin the Republican party, and 1 think the result will be that the Republicans will work in perfect harmony." "Who are likely to be the nominees for the various State oflices, and for Congress?" "At tho preseut timo it is impossible to say, I am confident, however, that the Republicans of the Tenitory will select men mm as will be sure to win the support of all the elements of the party. In fact, I feel certain that Republican success is assnred, and that the two new States to be formed out of the present Territory of Dakota will bo solidly Republican." THE TIMBER-CULTURE ACT, Secretary Noble Modifies a Previous Ruling of the Public Land Commissioner. Washington. July 20. Secretary Noble to-day, in a letter to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, modified in a very important particular tho application of the rulo as to-time of cultivation in timberculture cases. The timber-culture act of June 14, 1ST3, provides that "any person who shall plant, protect and keep in healthy growing condition for eight years ten acres of timber, on any quarter section of any of the public lands of the United Mates. 6hall bo entitled to a patent at the expiration of said eight years, on making proof," etc. Section 2 of this act provides "that no final certificate shall be given, or patent issued, until at the expiration of eight years from tho date of entry." Land Commissioner MacFarland, in a circular of instructions to registers and rereivers, dated Feb. 1. 18S2, held that one--half of the trees must have actually been crowing for five years, and the remaining half forfouryears, to conform to the terms of the act. This interpretation of the law was sustained in a subsequent decision, which held that the preparation of land and planting of trees are acts of cultivation, and the timo actually so employed 'should be computed as a part of the eight 'years required in the timber-culture cases. an ps the act provided for three years' cultivation of tho land before the trees could bo planted, the effect of the ruling was to compute the period of cultivation from the date of entry. On June 27, 1887, Commissioner Sparks, in a circular to registers and receivers, directed that "in computing the period of cultivation the time runs from the date when tho total number of trees, seeds or cuttings required by the act are planted." 'When tho tinal proofs of entry were not complied with according to this rule they were rejected. Secretary Noble, in his letter to the Commissioner, sustains the ruling made by Commissioner Spark:, but says: "Inasmuch as the department, from the time of the passage of the bill up to the date of June 27, 1SS7. erroneously construed the , true spirit and intent of the act. and in pursuance thereof numerous entries have been made under the law as thus promulgated, amounting to some 2.500 or more; that such entries should be protected under tho construction thus given the act. giving such construction all the force and effect of law. Were it not so, great wrong and inconvenience . would result." The Secretary, therefore, directs that the mle in the case of Henry Hooper, in point, be so modified as to hold that all entries made under the act, as construed from Feb. 1, 1SS2, to June 27, 1887, should pass to patent; and that all entries made after the announcement of that doctrine should be governed and controlled by the principles therein enunciated. THE IVniTE HOUSE. Insufficiency of Room a Matter of Serious In convenience to the President's Family. Washington, July 20. Tho Star this afternoon prints an interview with Mrs. Harrison which quotes her as saying that tho insufficiency of room m the White House has become a matter of very serious Inconvenience. Mrs. Harrison says that although the household of the President is not the largest ever domiciled in the official homo of the chief magistrate, the encroachments of official requirements of late years upon the apartments used for family pur- ' poses has reached a point where relief has become absolutely necessary. Even the library has been taken ud for office business, and tho Cabinet-room now serves the double purpose of a public ante-room for Senators and others admitted without cards, as well as the place for the meeting of the President and his advisers. In speaking of this subject, Mrs. Harrison continued: "We are here for four years. I do not look beyond that, as many things may occur in that time, but I am very anxious to see the family of the President nrovided for properly, and while I am here I hope to be able to pet tho present building put into pood condition. "Very few people understand to what straits the President's family has btea put at times for lack of accommodation:. Really, there are only rive sleeping apartments, and there is no feeling of privacy." Mrs. Harrison says that the idea of making an extension to tho Executive Mansion on the west sido would not involve any loss on account of removing the present conservatories. The extension would enable tho President's family to have a private home where tho President's wife might see her friends privately. CEKOXIMO'S EAJD. Indian Right Associations Offer to Bay Land for Their Removal to a Healthy Ixcallty. Washington, July 20. For several months tho War Department officials have had under consideration the proposed removal of about four hundred Apaches, including tho members of Geronimo's band and a number of Indians who served the United States army as scouts in the campaigns against Gcronimo. They are at present located at Mount Vernon Barracks, about thirty n.iles north of Mobile, Ala. They were first taken to Fort Augustine, Florida, where the climate told severely upon them, and it was found necessary to send some of the children to school at Carlisle, Pa.. It is conceded that their present location, although more suitable than Florida, is not conducive to tho wejfaro of the Indians who were born and brought up in the mountainous regions of New Mexico, so that suggestions of change have been readily listened to by the authorities. The Indian Rights Association and the Massachusetts Indian Association havo ottered to puichase the land necessary to accommodate the Indians, if tho government will select the site and authorize the change. Tho War Department officials are now considering tho subject. (jeneral Howard has suggested, after inspecting tho Indians at Mount Vernon, that tho hill country of Alabama. Georgia or North Carolina would bo better suited to the Apaches than any land on the seaboard. Ho recommends: First Have them gradually house themselves, prepare for winter and be ready next spring to commence fanning operations. A few are already prepared to take lands in severalty, but not many. Th majority may bo governed and work as a whole upon some undivided portion of their estate. ' eeond Establish at once the necessary school. Third The aid which tho government could XuxBiflh would be, limply yiUtf it docs now, that

I.bo supplementary in the way of food and clothing and nilonl the necessary guard till these Apache Indian ceaso to bo prisoners of war. The place for them which meets with most favor is the Cherokee reservation, in Smoky mountains, on the line between North Carolina and Tennesseo. It is understood that tho CheroKeus are willing to sell enough of the land to accommodato tho Apaches, and it is probable tho authorities will cousent to remove them there af ter the Indian Rights' associations have obtained the title to the land. Under proper conditions Captain Bourke expresses the belief that the Apaches can be made self-supporting and law-abiding in three years. THE ENGLISH SPARROW. Ills Bulldozing 3Iethods Adopted by Other Birds Extermination Bounties Proposed. Special to tlto Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 20. A recent pamphlet published by the Agricultural Department gives some interesting statistics

concerning the growth in numbers and the habits of the infernal little pest known as the English sparrow. This pugnacious importation has made its way into every State and Territory in the Union, and its ability to reproduce its kind is something alarming. Some of the reports of tho agents by whom the statistics were gathered are very amusing. One says that the English sparrow when he first became settled in this country succeeded in bulldozing all the other small birds;, that nowmany of them have learned the prize-fighting rules which he brought over with him pretty thoroughlv. and that many of the heretofore peaceful little songsters are now just as full of grit and tight as the English usurper. Several recommendations aro made concerning tho best method of exterminating the pests, but what seems the most likely to have a decided effect is the proposition for bounties to be paid in increased ratios each year. For instance, 2 cents for all spairows killed the first year, 4 for the next, 8 for the next. 10 for the next, and 32 for the following year. It is estimated by the experts that if the States, or some of them, would adopt this plan, it would result in practically wiping out the intruders by the time the bounties had expired. In this connection it 11133' be said that the English sparrow is not without its uses, and many of the agents of the department report that plucked sparrows are Hold in the markets of several cities for reed birds. The legislators in the city of Albany seem to be perfectly satisfied to eat thousands of these little birds every year under the impression that they are swallowing the birds that prove such frightful pests to the rico planters of South Carolina. THE PRESIDENTS VACATION. How He Will Spend try Time from Now Until . the Close of September. Fpecial to the Iiituaiiapolis Journal. Washington, July 20. Tho President and Mrs. Harrison went to Deer Park . this afternoon, where they will remain for about fwo weeks. Tho President will then return to Washington, and after spending a few days here will join Secretary Blaine at Bar Harbor, remaining there perhaps a fortnight. Mrs. Harrison has not yet determined whether she will accompany the President on his Northern trip. When the President returns from Bar Harbor to Washington, the latter part of August, he will prepare for another visit to Doer Park, intending to remain there during the month of September. This is tho President's vacation programme as he had it manned out in his mind to-day, and it is probable that it will be carried out, although the length of the President's stay at each place may be changed through personal desire or the demands of public business. - Secretary Hal ford accompanied the President to Deer Park this afternoon. Some appointments may be determined upon and the announcements given out at Deer Park, and such matters as have to be recorded at tho executive mansion will be brought here and attended -to by Secretary Halforti. Secretary Windom did not go to Deer Park to-day, but will probably get away next Monday or Tuesday for a two weeks' vacation there. - - President and Mrs. Harrison arrived at Deer Park a little after midnight, and went direct from the station to their cottage. MINOR MATTERS. TVasliingtoutans Accused of Rudeness Toward Pecnllarly-Dressed Foreign Diplomates. . Special to tlio InriiAiiaixtU Journal. Washington, July 20. Tho complaints of Ghooly Khan, minister from Persia to this country, of tho want of respect with which he has been treated during his stay at the capital of the United States, are not surprising to those who know the character of the American public. Ghooly Khan is not the only Oriental who has been the subject 01 tne unpleasant staring ana sneering ol tho people of Washington. The Turkish minister seldom walks the streets without attracting unpleasaut side remarks from tho people whom he meets, and members of the Chinese location are coustantlv iibed. not only bytthe hoodlums, but by people who claim a dogreo of respectability for themselves, jven members of the Eu ropean legation aro not exempt from the ridicule of the inhabitants of ashington. and it is no nncommon thing to hear alleged witticisms thrown out at the repre sentatives of k ranee. Germany or Russia. In fact, on one occasion a United States benator. at a reception of the President, ex pressed the opinion in very loud tones, and while standing only a few feet away from Count d'ArcoValle, that tho representative ol the Uerman n.mperor reminded mm ot a cross between a Chinese giant and a lager beer sign. Secretary Itlalne's Health. Bar Harbor Special to rhllidelphia Times, July 13. Judging from a visit paid to Secretary Blaine to-day, at his cottage, the correspondent unhesi tatingly states that the Premier is anything else than a nick man. lie was exceedingly busy with an immense amount of correspondence, which hnl limt lx'iniTi to dinosof when called unon. Shortly before he had returned from a long drive, and when asked about uls health he re plied that he bad uniformly declined for the post nvo years to nuirni or ueny anytmng concerning his health. He would not interfere wllh the enternrifdnc correspondents of certain newspapers who, about once in sixty days, set attoat some astoulMilne stories in regard to uls paysicai con dition, the stories being generally concocted by ix'reous wuo baa never spoken to mm. Air. Blaine said these gentlemen wero welcome to the held without any form of correction or denial from him. Mr. Blaine can be daily seen on the streets either walking or driving. Mr. Blaine said there was not the slightest foundation for the story of his resignation, nor for the report even that ho contemplated resigning. The Postal-Card Contract a Low One. Special to the Intlianapoits Journal Washington', July 20. It Is a fact of some note in the Postolllce Department that the con tractors for postnl-cards this year cut the figures "to pviccs far below the estimates of the departir.er.t. Third Assistant Pohtmaster-Keueral lln, in pMtking of this subject to your cor respondent, yesterday, said that tneso contract ors must ett far iM'tter prices from tho pnpermilla than tho Kovcruinent can, or tliey could not ailord to put iu such bids as they nave this tune. "I was a irreat deal surprised when the bids were oiened at the lowness cf the ttgures. and the government will save a great mnnj thousand dollars from this fact. The lowest bidder, by the wav. ran about $14,000 below any of his com petitors, and they were all lower than was ex pected. The contract is one of the Lipgest given out by the government, and nmounts to nearly $700,000 for the four years wmviuc ua to run." Indiana Pensions.

New Orleans, July 20. A genuine, welldeveloped case of leprosy, located in a little and isolated cottage, at the comer of Chestnut and Eliza streets, Algiers, across the river from New Orleans, was brought to light to-day. The leper is a young man named James Kat anaugh, twenty-nine years of age. KavanaugU was born and raised in Algiers, and was for eleven years a teamster in the employ of Morgan's Louisiana &, Texas Railroad and Steam ship Company. He was quite popular among his associates about tho railroad shops and in the town generally. He was an active and popular member of Morgan steam fire company. No. "3, and is practically cared for by the firemen at present. The disease began to show itself about four years ago in small brown spots on tho chest and neck. 'He called in a prominent and well-known physician on this side of the river, and after a thorough diagnosis of the caso it was pronounced leprosy and incurable. Fearing contagion, the members of the fire compans built tho little redpainted house above mentioned, and young Kavanaugh was placed there as a doomed man. His father and sister moved into the house with him, and additional rooms were provided for their occupancy. In a short time the disease began to spread until his entire body was covered with brown spots, his tongue was swollen and cracked until he could not articulate distinctly, nasal passages clogged, his eyebrows and lashes fell oil', toe nails rotted and his entire body was fast becoming a mass of putrefaction. A purse of $500 -was made up by the firemen and offered to any one who would cure lum. One or two doctors called on him, but he got no relief, and was finally given up to die. Kavanaugh was seen yesterday, and being asked how he thought he contracted the disease whether by inheritance or by contagion he said that his father and sister lived in the same yard with him and were perfectly healthy, that his progenuors were an a naruy, neaitny people, and that he believed that he had caught the disease from a young man who worked in the Morgan shoos several years ago. and died from supposed leprosy. Inquiry among physicians and citizens of Algiers, and the man's general appearance., settled the fact be3ond dispnte that he is in the last stages of the loathsome and hideous disease. It is also current rumor that there are other cases of leprosy in and about Algiers; in fact, the people do not seem to feel any alarm, and talk about the disease with as much inditlerenco as if it were a bad cold under discussion. IIOGAN SAID TO BE ALIVE. The Missing Aeronaut Said to Have Lauded In an Obscure Village on Long Island. Jackson, Mich.', July 20. Though noth ing definite has been heard of Prof. Ed Hogan there are many rumors rife that the daring aeronaut is safe. A private dispatch is said to have been received by Campbell from Hogan, sent from Gattletsburg, a vllJage on Long island, nearly one hundred miles from New York, stating in effect that he landed within a mile of the village at about 10 r. m. on Tuesday, coming down directly underneath the settling air-ship. He was nearly overcome with asphyxia, and would have died but for his presence of mind in cutting his way through the canvas monster. More dead than alive he reached a village and was cared for by the good people. He immediately became unconscious from exhaustion and hunger, and no one know who he was until Wednesday noon, when the air-ship was found and Hogan had regained consciousness. It occurred to Hogan at this juncture to keep quiet and give the newspapers a chance to throw themselves, which they did as it proved. A New York dispatch says that statements by the business associates of Mr. Campbell, in whose air-ship Hogan was lost, are to the effect that the air-ship ;in which Hogan sailed was a new, untried and defective affair. The partners have differences, and the original, ship is now locked up in storage. Narrow Escape of Hogan's Brother. St. Thomas, Ont., July 20 .-Wm. Hogan, of Jackson, brother of Ed Hogan, the missing aeronaut, made a balloon ascension last evening, going four thousand feet high, and had a narrow escape from death. The top guy-rope of the balloon became fastened to the parachute, and it was not until the balloon had reachca within nlno hundred feet of tho ground in Its descent that the aeronaut began to shake the rope otf. Had hejumped before making the dlacovery. the balloon would have turned over upon the parachute, driving it to the ground, and instant death would have been the result. Hoftan alighted upon a stone, breaking two ribs, and was dragged fifty feet, bruiflng his side and shoulder. Ho left this morning for Jackson. Controversies at Knlghtstown. Special to the iDdisnapolis Journal. Knioiitstowx, Ind., July 20. The members of the Knlghtstown Natural-gas Company have been somewhat wrought up during the past week over the alleged organization of a competing company.

A citizens meeting is called for Monday evening to consider the proposition for the location here of a $75,oo0 straw-board factory, at which time it is thought harmony will bo restored, tho required gift be made and the factory secured.

NOVEL DAMAGE SUIT.

An Express Company Sued for $50,000 Damages for KeepiDga Man in Jail Three Tears. Chicago, July 20. A somewhat peculiar damage suit was instituted in tho Circuit Court to-day. The plaintiff is Herman 13. Chapman, and the defendants are the United Statos Express Company, Thomas C. Piatt, George K. Dlanchard, C. K. Crosby, Daniel P. Eolls and C. S. Ilryce, as individuals and as directors of the express company, and Joseph Shephard, George A. DeLong, Alfred M. Jones and Frederick Marsh. The suit is for trespass, and the damages are laid at $.70,000. In 1S78 Chapman was an employe of the express company at La Salle, 111., aud was charged with tho delivery of a $14,000 express package which never reached its destination. Chapman claimed that ho was assaulted and robbed of the ftackage, but the company insisted that ie had stolen it. Years of litigation followed. Chapman was acquitted on .the charge of theft, but subsequently convicted of perjury, and sent to the penitentiary for seven years. Meanwhilo the company began a civil suit against the prisoner, and in 1SS0 obtained a verdict in the United States Court for the $14,000 and costs. A special writ of capias ad satisfaciendum was sued out. Armed with this the marshal arrested Chapman on his release from Joliet in 1884. and he was brought to Chicago and lodged in tho debtors' department of the jail. The express company determined to make an example of Chapman, and paid his board weekly in jail for three years. They would doubtless have kept him incarcerated for life, but in 18b7 the Legislature of Illinois passed a law providing that persons held in custody on capias ad satisfaciendem should not be held longer than six mouths after turning over all their property not exempt to the creditor. This law went into erlect July 1, 1887. and that very day Chapman was released. In the meantime, Chapman's attorney had appealed to the the United States Supreme Court, and yesterday that body handed down a decision setting aside the judgment of the lower court, upon which the capias had been issued. Chapman naturally claims that the thrco years spent in the county jail were years of false imprisonment, and expects to recover damages to the extent of $50,000. The suit creates a decided sensation in legal circles. THE FLOOD IN THE KANAWHA. Thirteen People Known to Have Heen Drowned Great Property Loss in the Valley. Fseclal to the Indiananolls Journal. Parkersburg, W. Va July 20. Reports of loss of life and property from the flood aro coming in every hour. So far it is positively known that thirteen people havo been drowned in this vicinity, and it is impossible to even estimate the loss to property. The following is a list of the drowned so far as heard from: Mrs. Tucker, of this city; Orville West, wife and two children, and John Bailey, of Lcachtown; Mrs. Isaac Itoberts, of liig Lygart creek; Edward Pass, of Belleville; Thos. Mayhew and 6on, of Mineral Wells, and four other men, whose names could not bo learned, were drowned, further up the stream. Tho steamer Oneida was not sunk, as supposed yesterday, but was disabled by a rait of logs, which collided with her. The pilot-house of thj steamer Martin was found lodged in some driftwood, and there is no doubt about her going down. The valley is devastated from one end to the other. Churches were carried away, also school-houses, mills and dwellings. Some farmers whose farms lie in the river bottom, have nothing left, not even a house to live in. Saw logs are running out into the river at tho rate of fifteen hundred per hour. Fully thirty or forty thousand have escaped, besides thousands of tons of coal and several barge-loads of staves, crossties and lumber. It will be many days before even an estimate of tho loss can bo made. i Fatalities Caused by Lightning. Stukgis, D. T July 20. Lightning struck the residence of Samuel . Layster, in Whitowood, seven miles west of this city, last night, during a heavy storm. A son of Layster, aged twentytwo, was instantly killed. The house caught lire and was consumed, along with all the household effects. A child, also, in the house at the time, was severely shocked, but is expected to recover. In this city the residence of P. A. Brlgham was struck and badly damaged. None of the occupants were injured. A bolt descended at Fort Mead, eaft ot this city, and struck the schoolhouse occupied by the government. The building was badly wrecked. Several head of stock were also killed on the ranges near here. Losses at present cannot be given, but they will reach thousands of dollars. Damage In the Mohawk Valley, Amsterdam, X. Y., July 20. A terrific rainstorm, accompanied by tierce thunder and lightning, struck the Mohawk valley last night, extending from little Falls to Canajoharie, and doing considerable damage. The West Shore railroad bridge at Indian Castle gave way to the pressure of the swollen stream and five frelcht cars which were on the bridge, were tumbled into the creek. The debris formed a dam and the water rushed through the streets of the village, flooding cellars and inundating several houses. The West Shore tracks were washed away in several places between Indian Castle ana Fort Plain. . - Emma Althouse's Trances. Attica, N. Y July 20. The wonderful trances of Mrs. Lmina Althouse, the sleeping beautv. have practically come to an end, and now she only takes a nap of eighteen hours at a time every two days, the trance periods having steadily diminished during the last three months. She Is now able to partake of nourishment in minute quantities, can whisper to hor sisters and slightly move her limbs.

Jeffery, General Manager of the Illinois Central for Many Years, Resigns. CmCAOO, July 20. It has just been learned that Mr. E. T. Jeffery has tender ed his resignation as general manager of the Illinois Central Railroad Company. The resignation was forwarded to President Stuyvesant Fish before tho latter's departure for Europe, in the early part of the prosent month. From what can be learned no action has yet been taken on Mr. Jeffery's resignation, and it is probable that nothing definite regarding it will be done until Mr, Fish's return from Europe next, October. It is said that the relations between Mr. Jeffery and President Fish have been somewhat strained for some time, principally on account of the interference of Vice-pres-dent Harriman with the management of the tratlic atlairs of the company. President Fish backing unthe latter in what Mr. Jeffery considered the usurpation of the general managers duties. Mr. .L. 1. Jehflry was asked to-dav if the statement that he had resigned the posi tion was true. He replied that it was; that i'resuient t isn now has it in his hands, and that it is to take effect in October next. Mr. Jeffery declares that his retirement is due to a desire to get out of the harness which he has worn for nearly thirty years vt iiuoui intermission. Protesting Against an Advaace In Rates.

The consumers of bread in and about Bloomington ate rejoicing over tho effects of a. war of competition among the dealers in the staff of life. A week or so ago the proprietor of a Cheap John general store advertised that he would sell bread at half the ruling prices, 10 cent loaves for 5 cents apiece lmve. for a nickel. This an nouncement rendered the other dealers places deserted, and the cut was speedily met. To-day one of the leading bakers advertised livc-eent loaves for 2 cents, and others In like proportion, while another stated In print that be would sell bread at the, same price, with a chromo thrown in, and give bread away if buyers were not satisfied to pay 2 cents. As the war is one of bitterness, there is no doubt that within a few days dealers will lie giving bread without eost to those who want it that was. One result is that household baking has been universally abandoned, as it is cheaper to buy tread than to make it. Where Convicts Are Hunted with Hound. Louisville.
