Agent Bennett's Report on the Trouble In the Clinctivr Nntion. Washington. April 8. Secretary Hok Smith has received a detailed report from agent Bennett, of the Union apency, on the present trouble between the factions of the Choctaw nation. After repeated conferences and such investigation as he was able to make the agent aaya he is thoroughly convinced that the militia, acting under Governor Jones's orders, were the aggressors, and that the other party, commonly called the Locke rarty, is the aggrieved one. Locke' men. after listening to the agent's advice, proposed to surrender at once their arms if the agent could promise to protect them from the militia. This offer ajent Bennett, of course, could not accept. The Locke party declared that thev were peaceable, law-abiding Indians, charged with no otlense, and, that they were teady to surrender to any proper oilicerot their nation clothed with authority; that they bad been unwillingly driven to b.iiid themselves togethor as a means of protection against mnrder by the militia, which, they declared, were Jed by their most bitter and deadly personal and politic! enemies; that the militia had murderously assaulted them and their wivea and children in their homes, wrecked and ruined their proptrtr. attempted their lives, araitfrod their wives, mothers and children from their homes, and otherwise trnevonsly and wautonly wronged them. They also said that it was not their lntentin to attack the militia, but simply to defend themselves against further assaults and outrages. Agent liennett afterward talked with the captains of the militiii. who questioned his authority to inquire into the disturbances. Governor Jonea also questioned the agent's right to be present or inquire into the matter, which, he said, was an affair concerning the ULoctaw people only, and that the United States had no right to interfere. Alter an elaborato review of the whole situation Agent liennett concludes that the calling out o: the militia by Governor Jones to arrest Willis Jones was unnecessary and unlawful, and that the conflict precipitated by tho men: hers was the act of a drunken, irresponsible mob. banded together an militia for the purpose of murdering mrn, women end children, thereby removing their political opponents and intimidating others. in order lo perpetuate tho power of the party at present in authority; that many ot tho aggressors were so intoxicated a to be unable to sit upon their noraee; that thev shot pronuocuously into public and private buildings, occupied in some cases iy women and children, and that, in short, the acts of the militia were more like those of wild beasts than human beings. Agent lSennettalso believes that tbeChoctaw udvtrniBnt will never bring these would-be murderers to atrial, but will uphold them In their unlawful acts, and that it would beasautiug in a so-called judicial murder to permit the militia to make arrests in the Choctaw n ition. In view of these facts, he strongly urges that the nation bo placed under martial law. Secretary Smith, acting uoder the authontv of the treaty of 1805. which provides that "the United Mate sball protect the Cho:Uw&aad Chicgasawa from domestic .trifo." lias requested the Secretary of War to send ft detachment of troops to the scene of the threatened trouble, to maintain the peace aud protect life and property. Still Kpstlncr on Their Arm. Paius, Tex., April 8. Everything is quiet at Goodland and Antlers to-night and there is no sign of a renewal of hostilities by either of the Choctaw factions. The union of the followers of J nek son and Locke, placing them on an quality with the forces Sf Governor Jones in point of numbers, excited much apprehension, but neither side gives any intimation of its intentions. The militia does not seem to be .making any preparation fcr an attack on Locke's iurt. itcvoKEn m none smith. Permit to Cut (iovemiaent Timber in Moutarm That the Secretary Did Not Llk. Washington, April 8. Secretary Hoko Smith to-day rendered a decision on tho question of revoking tho permits recently grunted to tho 13ig Black Foot Milling Company and the Ditter Koot Development Company, to cut 5) per cent, of the timber frm government lands in Montana. Tho decision is important, as it indicates what the policy of tho government w:l! be as to the preservation of the Western forests. The tract selected by tn first-named company w;:s u narrow strip extending fifty or sixty miles up both sides of the liig Black Foot river. Tho then Secretary granted the first permit to cut Jan. 16. lb'J2, and upon a aucond petition this permit was extended Feb. IS, 1HJ3. to about twentytwo sections. Secretary Smith tonus that this last permit wan illegally granted, inasmnoh as the requirement as, to advertising was not complied with. After giving a brief history ot tho transaction, he finds that the facts require the Dermic to be revoked, but there is un additional rrHSjn deserving attention. Continuing, ho says: The permit was granted within a few days before the end ot the tvrui or the former adminmtrntlon. it was to continue through three years of the present administration. It applied to more lertiuiia of land tu:i?i had ever been covered by any j ermlt heretofore granted. It extended for many xnlhv through a large territory, applying to tho sectiuuA of timber ohc easily made accesihl to market. U it wie to extend such privileges to a siuglo sompnnyl Is it tleslralde to m hasten the destruction of the forest of our couutryl These question nam certainly cause doubt as to the adviaMlity cf this permit, even though no other objection existed, and the petition to rescind the arder of revocation i denied. While seriously doubting whether even an extension of time to cot Iroin sections covered by a port -lit should be allowed without a new advertisement, still the company has acted upon tho course pursued tu tba petition by this department, and pcnous inconvenience may now be entailed on the public- unless some concesInn are made lor the preseut Reason. It Is therefore directed that the lilc IHackfoot Milling Company, and the liitter Hoot Development Company each be allowed to helect four feectlons from the number of those covered by the permit of Jan. 11, lJ'J. and that a permit issue acrordlncr to the provisions of the permit of Feb. 13, ltf'JJ, to allow said company to cut from tba lections selscted until Jan. 1, 1894.

April 8. An Ohio Democratic Congressman said to me the other day that when Congress comes together next winter he intended introdncing a bill which will 4hit the sleepiug-car companies right between tho eyes." "I have been traveling a good deal of late," said he, "and have been provoked aud pained beyond measure to witness the inequalities of rates, the frequent discriminations shown passengers, and the mdopendent manner in which sleeping cars are conducted. 1 have taken the pains to make frequent memoranda of tho through and local tan lis charged between the capital of Ohio and Washington via Pittsburg, between Indianapolis and St. Lout?, and on the routes south from Cincinnati around to Washington. There is no possible reference' to pro rata rates. Certain persons known to conductors and officials are given all sorts of preference. and if you don't like it you can whistle. 1 have paid a dollar for riding three hours in a sleeping car. and have ridden all night and half of a day, with a berth, for Z'Z. 1 have tat down in a sleeping car to ride a day, and, changing my mind, only traveled fifty miles. The charge was the same. 1 Late asked the porUt to leave open or close

the curtains to the upper unoccupied berth and he has 'ssssed' me and referred to the rules of tho company Ther is no moro relative merit in the laws governing freight and pursenger rates And thoso controlling sleeping cars than there is between the laws governing the moon and the collection of internal revenue, i believe that the sleeping cars should be under the same general laws as other interstate commerce, and 1 propose to make it a part of my business to see that the sleeptntr cars are placed under the Interstate-commerce law, with oertain set regulations as to tariffs and the manner in which the cars shall be managed with respect to passengers, whose comfort should be considered." MIGHT LABEL THEM "FREE TRADE.'

Suggestion for Arbor Day Uncalled For Wall from Secretary Morton. Washington. April 8. It has been suggested that each plaoe in tho country where Arbor day will bo celebrated this year a tree be planted in honor of the new Secretary of Agriculture. Mr. Morton has already begnn to realize some of the vexations attending the seed distribution assigned by law to the department of Agriculture. Seedsmen are anxious to know what will lie the policy of the Department in regard to the purchase of seeds for distribution, and in reply to inquiries addressed to him on the subject, Secretary Morton has eaid that his policy would be to purchase seeds grown in the United HtatMs in tho open niarkot. tho quality of theseed and price being the only questions he wonld consider. To get the best seeds for the least money," ho said, "is the object I have in view, and to this end I invite the widest competition on the part of seedsmen the world l-iver, and I trust the growers of the best seed of all nlants available for American agriculture, in whatever part of tho world the' may be, will seek to supply ns; for in spite of the limitations and burdens Imposed by theMcKiuley bill on all foreign products, regardless of the needs of our people, a special clause in the bill provides probably to save the foreigner from paving the tax that plants. treo shrubs nnd seeds imported by th Department of Agriculture should be admitted free. If the government is going to continue in the business of seed distribution, however, I cauuot see why it should not go a step farther than now, and grow the seed itself, and thus do away with the middlemen's profits, which, according to all farmers, are one of tho heaviest burdens imposed upon them." Chinese Regulations modified. Washington, April 8. By direction of Secretary Carlisle, the regulations of the Treasury Department in relation to the registration of Chinese laborers were today modified, dispensing with the attaching of photographs to applications of Chineso laborers or Chinese persons other than laborers for certificates of residence under the act of May 5, 1S32, and requiring the affidavit of only one credible witness of good character to the fact of the residence and lawful status of the applicant within tho United States.

IN FAVOROF THE ENGINEERS

Judge Speer Directs a Receiver to Carry Out Certain Labor Contracts. Membership in the Brotherhood Xo Disquali. fication to ScrriceXonnnionists May Be Employed Strike on the Atrhison. Macon, Ga., April S. Judge Emery Speer to-day rendered a decision in the United States Circuit Court here upon a petition brought by members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers through K. W. Patterson, of the Macon bar, praying the court to direct the receiver of the Georgia Central railroad to carry out the contract with the brotherhood "which was in force when the reoeiver was appointed. Following are extracts from the opinion of Judg Speer: "Cases are frequent where persons intrusted with corporate properties have applied to t,he courts for the prevention of grievances threatened or indicted by labor organizations. This is th first instance of which we have auy information where members of such an association have, by concerted action, in an orderly way. sought the arbitrament of a court to have Hettled a controversy relative to wages and conditions of their employment. It will be observed that much of the receiver's answer is an argument against the propriety aud policy of contracts of any character between the officers of railway corporations and the representatives of labor organizations. Tho uravity and importance of the considerations thus presented are exceedingly great. The control, under auy circumstances, by the courts of contracts between representatives of immense values invested with corporations engaged in the public dutv of transportation and the laborers employed in the same service will doubtless appear to many as novel and dangerous. It is well, however, to consider if a proper provision by appeal to the courts in the frequent and destructive conliicts between organized capital and organized labor will notaftord the simplest, most satisfactory and effective method for the settlement of such controversies. It is not the only method by which the public, and, indeed, the parties themselves, can be protected from the inevitable hardship and loss which all must endnre from the frequently-reourring strikes. "The power of the court has always, on proper occasions, been exercised to protnot the properties under its control from th damaging and unlawful results of a strike of the laborers and employes. Certainly it follows then that it is In the power of the court, in the interest of publio order. and for the protection of the property under its control, to direct a suitable arraugemeut with its employes and officers to provide compensation and conditions of their employment and to avoid, if possible, an interruption of their labor and dnty, which will be disastrous to the trust and injurious to the public. 'There is no reason why the receivership in this respect should be conducted in a manner differing from the large preponderance of the successful and prosperous methods of the country. Many of these contracts, or schedules, are in evidence. We are satisfied, from these facts, that such arrangements, nnder proper restrictions, are praiseworthy and beneficial to both parties, and we therefore sball not 1m iger hesitate to direct the receiver to enter into an appropriate . contract, or schedule of rates ond regulations with the engineers. This contract, however, will not be restricted, to members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, although membershipof that order is. and will be, no disqualification to service on railroads under the control of this court, so long as the rules and regulations of the order are treated as subordinate to the law of the laud. The contract will comprehend all engineers employed by the receiver, whether members or nonmembers ot the brotherhood." Strike of Machinists. Topeka, Kan., April 8. The 1.100 machinists, boiler makers, blacksmiths ant, their helpers employed in the shops of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, at this place, quit work this afternoon, and, acting with their fellow-workmen in the eame departments along the line of the entire system, are on a strike for better wages and other demands. They ask that the pay shall be increased 25 cents per day; that inexperienced men, who get Jess than regular rates, shall not be required to do the work of skilled men. and that when the company deems it necessary to reduce expenses gangs of men be not discharged or laid oft. but that the hours be reduced.. The pay of machinists, boiler makers and blacksmiths is now 2.50 per day, and of helpers 81.50. The demand is that it be increased to $2.75 and $1.15. respectively. The demands were presented to the management In writing and by it rejected. Fout Madison, la,, April 8. One hundred and twenty employes of the Santa Fe boiler, machine and blauksmitU shops here left work at 1' o'clock this afternoon, m response to a general order to strike for a 10 per cent, advance in the schedule of wages. " Lncketl.Out Cutters Sue for Damages. New York, April 8. Legal papers in the civil suits brought by individual clothinir cutters against the firms of the Manufacturers' Association to recover $20,000 each for damagos for the lockout were served this afternoon on David L. Newborg. of D. L. Newboig iV Son, and on Mr. Bierman, of Bierman, Heidelberg V Co. Tho firm of D. L. .Newborg 3c Co. is reported as the first firm to weaken. They are reported to have complained to the manufacturers that they have already lost too much money through the lockout, that they do not feel like losing auy more, and are anxious to compromise with their cutters. A mass meeting of cutters and garment workers in Cooper Union to-night adopted resolutions condemning the action of the Clothing Manufacturers' Association, censuring the decisions of Jndges Kioks. Taft and Billings, pledging individual and collective sympathy and support to the lockedout cutters, and urging them to stand for their rights and for justioe. Wages Halted Voluntarily. Minneapolis, April a The Twin City Kapid Transit Company,-of which Thomas Lowery is president, controlling the street railways of Minneapolis and St. Paul, has issued an order voluntarily raising the wages of all motcrmen and conductors in the two cities on June 1.

Tito ChicagcansWantTheirXamfS Changed So Thfj Can't Bo Fartfd in the Middle. Chicago, April a-The fad of parting one's name in the middle is on its last legs at least, in Chicago. The drift of publio sentiment on the subject was shown to-day by the filing of two petitions -in court in which a couple of gentlemen.' who heretofore have each worn a double-jointed name; seek to rely eolely on their more or less mellifluous center cognomen and drop the lonesome forward initials. Samuel Lawrence Williams and Edward Douglass Smith, who have been known as S. Lawrence Williams and E. Douglass Smith have seen therror of their way and have decided to go ort record and endeavor to enlist the aid of the judicial authority in an erlort to abandon the front part of their names altogether. "The change is made purely from business reasons." said attorney Martson. "The two gentlemen occupy the same otTiccs and. I soppose, agreed to drop their first names at the same time. Mr. Smith has for some time signed bis name plain 'Douglass Smith and wishes to make the chance legal. S. Lawrence Williams is acting from the same motives."

DEVors u. a disbands. A Section of the Clan-Xa-G&el Joins the National Irish Federation. New York, April 8. The U. B. (United Brotherhood), the secret name by which the wing or section of the Clan-na-Gael controlled by John Devoy is known here, because of internal dissensions, and in view of Mr. Gladstone's home-rule bill, has , resolved to disband as a secret Irish revolutionary body, and cast its lot with the National Irish Federation. This was determined upon at a recent meeting of the executive body presided' over by John Devoy, in Philadelphia. The causes of dimension are that Devoy, it is alleged, followed a man known to be in the employment of Scotland Yard, although a member of a home Clan-na-Gael camp, to bo present at a secret convention of the U.

There is but little chance of any prosecutions growing out of the case. It is understood that the ltonscbeims and Anbs. who are wealthy, profer to submit a compromise proposition to the holders of Jtonscbeim's paper, and it is probable that a S3 -3 basis of settlement may be etfeoted, mum Chicago Itlver Stirred by a Huge Wave.

Hit. M0TT SMITU SPEAKS. BlonntV Mission to Honolulu The Commis sioner Prejuliced Arainxt Annexation. Boston, Mas, April 8. Mr. Mott Smith, Hawaiian minister to Washington, eaid today that be should remain here some time, as there was nothing for him U do in Washington until Commissioner Blo int, of Georgia, who is now at Honolulu, makes his report on the question of annexation. "He thinks he can do it in three months' said Mr. Smitb,'bnt it is my candidopinion that it will require six months at least. President Cleveland, I believe, haa drawn up a treaty with the islands, but just what itisnoone appears to know but himself. For that matter, no one knows what he proposes to do with it. He has all the facts, and we must not loso sight of this. He has to begin from the bottom, just as though he knew nothing of the situation at 'the taking of office. For my part I think the United States cannot very well withdraw from the position taken by the minister at Honolulu without committing an error of a more or less grievous character. It is not every day that a country comes and asks to be annexed. "Nothing will be done in the matter until Commissioner Blount is heard from. They have all tho facts now. but 1 sup; ose the Democrats want to have them come from their own representative. In other words they want to find them ont for themselves. As far as the natives are concerned, they would naturally prefer to remain as they are, while the resident Americans want annexation for what they can make out of it. The opinion has been prevalent that when a change came it would be incumbent upon the United States to have the islands. A chance, 1 might say. was bound to come sooner or later, whether in 1S93 or 1903. Mr. Blount has gone there with a little prejudice against annexation, and I suppose for that reason Mr. Gresham considers him impartial. Be it as it may, he will have to consult with Mr. Stevens, and now we sit in silence until Commissioner Blount reports." ' Republican Tricked" at St. Louis. St. Louis, April 8. The newly elected city officers were sworn in to-night, and the Council and House of Delegates organized. By a triok the Democrats secured the organization of the House of Delegates. One Republican, on whom a contest has been served, has not yet received his election certificate and, therefore, was not sworn in. James II. Townsend, the Democratic nominee for Speaker, received the vote of his businera partner, a Republican, which elected him. The Democrats thus will be able to control the committees of, the House, they being appointed by tho Speaker. Held a Child on a Itedhot Stove. Fairbury. I1L.

The justification of the court, the jury and the sheriff who administer and execute the law is that they are obeying the law. If, therefore, 1 have strained the law eone beyond its intent and meaning 1 am not to be commended, but blamed, for so doing. The end, however desirable its attainment, excuses no irregular means in the administration of justice. . "The motive, then, or at least the principal motive of this paper is to demonstrate to my own profession, and to make plain to all fair-minded, intelligent people, that the verdict of the jury in the case of the Anarchists was right: that the Anarchists were guilty ot murder; that they were not the victims of prejudice nor martyrs for free speech, but in morals, as well as in Jaw, were gnilty of murder. "1 concede that there was ' prejudice against them; under the circumstances that was inevitable. If any class of evil-doers, by newspapers, pamphlets, 'speeches, processions, flags and banners, and whatever other niuans ingenuity can suggest, may make publio and inform everybody what they intend to do. and then, when tuey have done it, screen themselves from punishment on the plea that there is prejudioe against them, then the only hindranoe to their success leaving out of view a possible prosecution for conspiraoy before the criminal act is done would be the danger to themselvea while engaged in the commission of the crime. Then Anarchists might kill and go free. But that injustice was done to them, because of that prejudice, is not true. I shall affect no judicial inclillcrence, but shall write as a oitizeu of the State of Illinois, repelling the imputation that injustice was done in the administration and execution of her laws. 'Another motive of this paper fs to show to the laboring people, of whom the Anarchists claimed to be the especial friends, that this claim was a sham and pretense, adopted only as a means to bring manual laborers into their own ranks; and that the counsel and advice of the Anarchists, if followed by the workingmen, would expose them to the danger of becoming, in law, murderers. I shall show that the real passious at the bottom of the hearts of the Anarchists were envy and hatred of all people whoso condition in life was better than their own, who were more prosperous than themselves A WIIITTIER HEROINE. The Identity of the "Countess Revealed lo May lngalls , of Haverhill. IlaverhlU Dispatch in Boston Journal. Ever since the works of Whittier have been published in complete form, by a Boston firm, in which v jlume it is stated that the Countess." (wife of Frauds de Viport) bore the name of Mary Elliott before her marriage, the identity of the chief character of the noted poem has been a subject of discussion. Mrs. R. I. Davis, of East Parish. Haverhill, where the Countess lived and is buried, is authority for the statement that the lady in question was the daughter of Henry and Abigail Ingallp, and that her name was May lugalls, and not Elliott. hho also declares that she has positive proof of her assertion. Her grandmother and aged aunts often related to her incidents concerning the ingalls family, and particularly of Mary, the Countess, and her sister, whose name was Lucretia. and who married a man named Davidson, of Salem, N. H. The brother, named John, was a seafaring man. Lucretia was a famous equestrienne, aud it was related of ber that she often rode down Bocks Hill at breakneck speed, frightenicit beholders. The family was remembered by the deceabed parents of Mrs. Davis, who often saw the Countc6s aud her husband ou their moonlight sails on the Merriiuac, and listened enraptured to the music of the Count's violin on thesa honeymoon excursions. Mrs. Hubert Stuart, who atteuded the school taught by Mary Inaalls's sister, taught in Mrs. Davis's father's house, and was present at Mrs. Viport' a funeral aud remembers the latter well. The fact that the Countess's grave is in tho lugalls family lot by the side of her mother would seem to be. in the absenoe of other proof, ample evidence as to her identity. Her earnest devotion to her mother during long months of illness was thought to be the cause of her own premature death. Her mother died in August, lb07, aud the daughter m January. The error on the poet's part doubtless aroso from confusiuj, the bride of Joseph do I'oyer with thut of Viport, the husbands being cousins. Mrs. Davis remembers, when n little girl, to have listeijed to anecdotes told by Mr. Do Foyer, nnd to have admired bis brid'a polished manners, the latter still living at the advanced age of mere than four 6tO'e. But the lovely Countess who walked iho streets ot Bock Villace one hundred years ago, hand in band with her foreign lover, was none other than Mary lugalls.
