been filed were fourth-class and not of Interest to any one outside of the district of the Congressman in question. That the petitions do not always express the desires of the patrons of the postoffice where they are circulated has ln shown in pevcnl cases whre petitions have been circulated for some Innocent purpose, enlisting the interest of the entire community nd securing a large majority of the names Of the people of the town. It is never dillicult to get signers to nonpolltical petitions in small town?, but these same petitions, ith the original heads removed and the it-natures pasted on to an application for the postmastership of the town become very formidable documents, and help the cause of the cunning but unscrupulous applicant in a wonderful decree. These are a few of the misuses to which the petition scheme is subject. There are others, cf course, that the department has not yet learned of. As yet, no steps are taken generally to prove signatures, as the department officials refuse to concede that the petitions are ever other than honest. It is probable, however, that Mr. Iiissell will eventually adopt a p:an now under consideration looking to the provinir of all such petitions by the sworn statement of some town officer such as the sheriff, whose affidavit that all the names to petitions are those of residents of the town or patrons of the office would prevent the accumulation of namea of people not entitled to a voice In the selection of a postmaster. The affidavit would also state that the names had been honestly secured and that the signers knew the nature of the paper to which they appended their signatures. This scheme would prevent the Introduction of fraudulently-prepared petitions and would tend to make the petitions of much value in showing: the desires of the majority of the residents of the town.

INDIAN SCHOOLS. Debate In the Senate Over nn Appropriation of 1, !.", HM. WASHINGTON'. July IS. In the Senate, to-day, a House Joint resolution was passed authorizing the Secretary of State to accept from G. F. Watts, It. A., a painting entitled Ixne and Life," exhibited by him at the world's fair. Mr. Carey called up the Senate bill to reserve for ten j'ars in each of several State lM).tj acres of arid land to be reclaimed and sold In small tracts to actual settlers, and It was passed. The bill applies to the same States a3 the desert land law, and also to Montana and Kansas, ami to the States that may be formed out of the Territories of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and rtah, when admitted. The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up. A petition from citizens of various counties In Pennsylvania protesting against the violation of the American principle of separation of church and state involved in the appropriations for sectarian schools in the Indian appropriation bill was presented by Mr. Quay, who also moved that further consideration of the bill be postponed for two wesks so that the order of Patriotic Sons of America might be heard upon it. The motion was lOit. The paragraph appropriating $1,003,000 for educating the Indians provoked the criticism of Mr. Piatt against the policy of giving aid to Indian contract denominational schools. lis favored the abolishment of all sectarian schools and the establishment of government schools la their stead. Mr. Call said the government recognized no soct, but, finding that various charitable organizations had established themselves on the Indian reservation, had made contracts with them to save the expense of erecting schools, without considering whether they were Episcopalian, or Methodist, or Congregational, or Catholic. Mr. Gallinger protested against government aid to sectarian schools, and especially when one church received so much more than the others. There was already a gathering storm in this country against appropriating money for sectarian purposes, and that storm would break before long on the people and the Congress of the United States. Mr. Call agreed that government schools houlc supersede sectarian schools whenever it was possible to do so, but If a government school were set down beside a sectarian school there was nothing to compel the children to attend it. The committee amendment was then agreed to. An amendment offered by Mr. Quay, increasing the appropriation for the Carlisle achool from $PjS,Cou to JllO.OuO, was agreed to. An amendment was agreed to appropriating Jl.ow for the repair of the church and building used for school purposes on the San Xavier reservation in Arizona. The conference report on the naval appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. An amendment was proposed by Mr. Dubois, and agreed to, directing the Secretary of the Interior to contract for the construction of an irrigating canal on the Fort Hall Indian reservation in Idaho, the cost to be paid out of money belonging to the Fort Hall Indians. An amendment was proposed by Mr. Piatt directing the Secretary of the Interior to thoroughly examine the claim of W. 13. Munson. of Dennison, Tex., against the Chickasaw nation for in lieu of the provision of the bill subtracting the sum from money due the nation without investigation. Agreed to. The appropriation for building and repairs of buildings at agencies was increased from JX.w to H4.M, and an additional paragraph appropriating llx.TTyj for th- St. jeseph Indian Industrial School, in Wisconsin, was agreed to. The House having disagreed to the Senate amendments to the agricultural appropriation bill. Senators Call. Price and Cullom were api-ointed conferees on the part of the Senate. An amendment was proposed by Mr. Squire authorizing the Puyallup Indians holding lanis in severalty on the reservation near Tacoma. Wash., to sell sum ient portions of their lands to raise money enough to improve the remainder. At 0:1') the Senate went' into executive session witnout acting on the amendment, and, at 6:"0, adjourned. lints!? rito( i:i:m;s. JM'vcral HUH front the Committee cm Military Attn Irs PiiMMetl.

The statement by Representative Paker, of New Hampshire, that he had been errocously reported by the tellers as present and not voting, the truth being that he vas not present, moved Mr. Reed to say a word for the system of quorum counting In the Fifty-first Congress, wherein, he said, out of hundreds of opportunities but two mistakes had occurred, while out of two opportunities unner the existing system one error hail occurred. Speaker Crisp admitted the possibility of error under any system, but pointed out that the superiority claimed for the present rule was that it removed any suspicion of intentional unfairness. l.'nutr the special order adopted on Monday the remainder of the day was devoted to business reported from the committee on military affairs.

WASHINGTON, July lS.-Mr. Treston, the director of the mint, to-day, by direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, issued orders to the mint authorities in San Francisco and New Orleans to begin at once the coinage of silver dollars and during the present month to coin up to the ordinary capacities of the mints. The silver to b? first coined will be blanks and ingots, of which there Is sufficient to coin about Sl.'V" at these two mints and at Philadelphia. As soon as this supply is exhausted, work will probably begin on the siiv.r b.irs, of which there is a year's su-v-p!y at San Francisco and New Orleans and prol'.t lily a year's supply at Philadelphia. Si far as can be learned, it Is not the purpv Sr of the government to extend the eoinKCe f the seigniorage b-yond a few million, but it Is stated that after coining what ld may be necessary and recoinlng the a' i lt d fractional silver, each of the thtf min's probably will be worked at their normal capacity on silver dollars for the next several mnths at least, and. presumably, t the end of the present calendar year.

CORN ISLAND'S WAR

DKTAlbS OF TUB LATEST I PKISIXO 4 I. TIIE MOSQUITO RESERVE. Several Skirmishes, In Which Various .titionnlIticKt Were EiiKiiged The I:iikM1i KIhk Hoisted. NEW ORLEANS, July IS. A correspondent sends by the steamer Gussia a lengthy report of the occurrences there preceding the fight at Corn island. The trouble began on the night of July 8. The month before the merchants who had advanced money on the scrip issued by the Mosquito government repuested General Cabczos, the Nicaraguan Governor, to take the scrip for duties. He refused point blank to recognize the paper, and tha merchants decided to pay only In the scrip. Tl is soon reduced the revenues of the government and the finances fell way down. On the 3d of this month the police again made a demand for their back pay, and were refused. This determined the natives and their adherents, and when, on the "th of the month, they were put oif again, one of the police was about to assault Cabezos when troops arrived. A brief conflict followed, in which four of the police were painfully injured. The fighting drew a large crowd, among them several Americans, from the International Club, just across the street. One of these, Mr. Henry Henry Williamson, formerly of Galveston, Tex., by his good oflices, succeeded in stopping the fight. As soon as the three leaders of the rioters had been placed under arrest General Cabezos sent word to Mr. Williamson that he had received all the assistance from him that he required. In the evening a meeting of the natives was held and they decided to drive the Spaniards out, take possession of the government and reinstate the old Mosquito chief. Messengers were sent to different places to rally all natives and Indians, and by 8 p. m. a large crowd had collected. Consul Seal called an informal meeting of the Americans and discussed the situation, and it was decided to call on the commander of the United States steamer Marblenead for marines to care for the Interests of foreigners. The English consul joined In this. Later In the evening desultory fighting began between natives and the small force of soldiers in the government building. Soon the lights were shot out, and then the natives gathered In force, and a perfect leaden hail was poured into the building. The Inmates of the building retired to the stone basement and were consequently secure. The firing was kept up by both sides all night. It ceased shortly after daylight, and during the day great crowds visited the government building, the upper stories of which were completely riddled with bullets. There were, however. In spit of the trrlfic fusillade, but two men wounded during the night. About 6 o'clock In the morning Captain O'Neil landed sixty-five marines and left them at the bluff. The captain went to the consul, and a lengthy interview was -had with General Cabezos. In th afternoon a meeting of the Mosquito -head men was called and Clarence and his staff of officers quickly appeared, though he had not been heard of before. The natives all looked to the Americana for assistance, and even asked that the Americans lead them in the fight. The Americans, however, took no active part in the affair, excepting to use every effort to keep the village as orderly as possible. Finally Clarence decided to declare himself chief, and a proclamation was written out. A steam launch was chartered and sent to Raima to prevent the steamer from bringing reinforcements to Cabezos. A letter was pent to Cabezos giving him two hours to turn over all government property. He temporized and asked until morning to decide. While this was being talked over the foreigners were holding a meeting at which Captain O'Neil told them plainly the position he occupied, saying that he could only take a hand on request of the government of the country. He would offer protection to all foreigners but could not take sides with either party to the dispute. During the night the natives decided Cabezos had only asked time in-order to bring twenty-live additional men and a four-inch Krupp gun, which he had on the bluffs across from th? town. Accordingly, early in the night a force descended on the bluff, and after a sharp skirmish, in which two men were killed, :he Spaniards fted and the gun was captured. Th next morning tl"e Indians began coming in large number from outside points, and it was claar that Clarence was gaining power, as h then had sorr-j 2.5JO men. When Cabezos heard of the lo. of his bluff force- he decided to surrender all the Tovernment property and send :he troops out cf the reserve. The Mosqultos decided to form an amalgamated council, and three Americans and two Englishmen were asked to join. The Americans wer.? Simon Lamp'onk of New Orleans; Charles Iabler, of Pe-trl Lagoon, and H. F. Springer, of New Orleans. The Englishmen were William A. Brown and Captain Brownrigg. Tne next day Captain O'Neill sailed away in the Marblehead, leaving the marines on shore in charge of the first lieutenant. When the steamer Hazel Wciffht arrived the next day it was learned that the Spaniards had been contemplating an attack on Bluefields and the influence of their Governor alone prevented it. The. natives profited by this valuable Information" and organized several companies of troops. A cloge watch was placed on the lagoons by which the Spaniards were expected and when they come, if they do at .all. theIlCht will be a hot one. Sunday morning a slop came from Corn island, bringing reports of the fight thare. No definite details were obtained beyond the Information that the Spaniards were routed with several killed. Then the natives and Jamaicans hoisted the English flag, and it still floats over the island which was intended for the United States coaling station. 'Ihe flshtir.R in Biuehetus, it is to he seen. is not entirely local, but more of a rebellion of the whole Atlantic coast against Nicaraguan rule. The Indians throughout the entire reserve are completely aroused. The Waunka Indians, numbering nearly 8,000, have volunteered to assist the Mosqultos if the fighting becomes a general thing. There seems, however, to be no hope of the natives being permanently successful, and, with the uncertainty of English action, the outcome of the trouble is doubtful. Expelled hy tin Ignorant Burgomaster COPENHAGEN. July lS.-The Danish government has obtained satisfaction for, the expulsion from Schleswig, Germany, of the eisht Danish players belonging to the Royal Theater of Copenhagen. These players were arrested at Haderslben Sehleswis early in June under Instructions from the burgomaster of that place, who claimed there was a prohibition again;-t the use of the Danish language in Schleswir. The actors and actresses were then o -lered to leave Sehleswis. and wnt to liihe. across the frontier, in Denmark, wnere they received an ov-ailon. When the facts of their expulsion became known the Danish government called the attention o:' the government of Germany to this action upon the part of the burgomaster of liaderslben. and after the matter had been inouirej into the official mentioned was dismissed in disgrace. It appears that there had been a prohibition acainst the use of the Danish language in Schleswig, but the order had been withdrawn, and the burgomaster should have been aware of this. Antl-AnnrchtMt Bill DIm-iimcI. . PARIS, July IS. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Goblet combated the government's anti-Anarcnist bill, claiming that If the measure became a. law it would be a violation of individual liberty and of the freedom of the press. The true remedy was not repression, but democratic reform. M. Guerin, the Minister of Justice, said that the peril was increasing and that they nus; "uproot the abominable .ect." He denied that the bill was exceptionally reactionary or that it infringed upon the lreedom of the pres3. Closure of the genera! debate on tne measure was voted. 1T3 to 1.14. and urgency was declared by a vote cf 27'j to 10". Discussion of the details of the measure was decided upon by 2S5 to 162 votes. Thrs- votes were tak-.'n in face of the obstructive tactics of the Socialists. Marie C'oltliiN Granted n Divorce. LONDON. .July IS.

The bill to permit Sheffield to build a ship canal to the east coast has passed its third reading in the British House of Commons. Russia has decided to build a railway from Samaracand to Ferghan, on the threshold of the Pamirs. England Is building two forts to defend the passes between the Hunga country and the Pamirs. The Hamburger Correspondent states that the German government does not propose to make reprisals in consequence of the new American sugar tariff. A general tariff war against the United States, it Is added, would ruin the German export trade, and Germanv will, therefore, seek to arrive at some agreement with the United States.

Y., July IS. -The motion to dissolve the injunction obtained by the faction of the Order of Elks which met in convention in Jamestown, a month ago, restraining the Grand Idge of the order from meeting anywhere else than in NewYork State, and restraining the faction which met at Atlantic City from interfering with books and moneys of the order, was argued before Justice Ward, in the Supreme Court to-day. Counsel for the Jamestown faction argued that Grand Exalted Kuler Apperley had the power and right to call the session of the Grand Lodge at James-town, and counsel for the Atlantic City contingent argued that the grand trustees were empowered by the Grand Lodge at the Detroit convention last year to designate the place for holding ih? convention of ISM without interference by the grand exalted ruler.
