I believe it will I -cort-va -matter of impartial history that tli "tJvfxnw-an jtarty, while beuling all its energies to build the interior, wholly neglect! the interests and the rights of its citizens abroad. It in a painful fact that the M-aiaritfuwri t" our country tint away upon tLrnKK of China, or in any remote corner of the T'orhl,' ?:ever claimed to be an American, but an KnjrlMi sailor. An American sailor in Iii; liour of trouble never visited the AnierW.n, but the F.ngli-li Consul. John P.nll -r eminently commercial, and there is no:hi?f small about him touching questions of Inutility to those who go down to. sea in hits. .Addressed in the Knjilish tongue, he put !: .questions about nationality. Ian Knglish eitien had Wen immured in a New York jail as an American citizen wan in n Irish jail, Britain would have demanded his immediate release. Perhaps the United States at any other period would liave been more prompt in asserting its authority. There were a great many things to Ir.-tress the administration of James (I. Blaise as Secretary of State. The President walving, and the whole iolitical system ol tlx 'Country was in agony. Perhaps the man neer lived who, as Secretary of State, could have made, under such circumstance, a rwv rd upon which to run for President. But if the country had done its duty by McSmeeney, MtSweeney would have had no clain.s upon the Democratic party and the piwnt administration. I have lieard tliat there never has been any question about rewarding MeSweeny ' for i. "s Intelligent service In the last catnmix:i. He is recognised as a capable, honest najj of affair, and his letters have shown him to ) os-ess a very hig'j order of literary tak-nt. Vhil?an admitted American citi.en, th trouble, however, is to find a Democratic f::Hinity that will submit to have him fwdited there. He wanted to be surveyor jf tLe Port of San Fram i-co, but a Sau Francisco Congressman wanted the place lor a favorite constituent. He had the same exticnce in Philadelphia and in Boston, then rhaiuring tactics he applied for an o trice witiwjut r("-t to lM-aIity. But even inthi tlT" wa a di.tictilty. The omVe of ',omj ami over in:jsj-el old iirations he did not (are to a-'inie, and the ottu e with a sulaiy under $"J.oj he iil not waist in other words, M.--hw( ny needs at least $2 joo annually in his husiii-'v,.

I'poii that subject. hfver. I do not claim to be absolute authority. j Mr. ilcDouald gave as his greatest objection t the civil service law that its tendency would be to establish an otlice-holding class. He said that jeorle in the departments, owing no allegiance to party, would cea-e to be ither D -mocratsor IJepuMicans, and become t t".e-l,lders. He dwelt at no length on the unfairness of having the fruits of victory enjoytd by the persons who had not earned thcrn-. It was his opinion that the great wrong consisted in breeding a class, holding that anything like class interests are particularly obnoxious to our system. What Mr. McIonald apprehended has crystalied into a reality. Ve have an otlicc-holdin? class. The conspicuous absence of the Ohio man about the bulletin boards on the day of Jloadlv's tioinination was observed by oldtime Washington ieople. This time he med to take no interest in the convention, and the elorlion will be a matter of the greatest indiflerenee to him. Ceasing to be a Republican does not impnr that he has Wonie a Democrat. By no mannerof means. He has 9irn ply discovered a jolitical half way place, where he can live an inoffensive partisan and draw his salary. There is a great deal of secu!ation as to what influence this os to the P.epubliean party will have cpon the Democratic party. While there are many who think it will rani one and build tiie other into permanent jower, there are more of eiial intelligence who believe that the administration will find its greatest weakness in this evidently mercenary adhesion. A gentleman w hose reputation is national, recently observed to me: 'The Democratic party will be iermanently -strengthened by the supjtort of no class of voters whose ditical theories are indoctrinated with the Ilamiltontaji idea Of poverniiient." Ing or life tenure of office can have no fcaltitary influence ujon the service. It leads tolotli, indoUtnee and insoleiK. jVwrlng the fa it i ne for let;itinial new that will -ei-blently j-vail for some weekx, ye.t the i-iitAU: may lc prepared to hear a great deal alrfwit the hermit of (iraystone, alUivr me to ecjdain Tlje Sage of Grey stone is impro"er. At Grayione he is a hermit. At hts place ou Crammefey Park he is a sae. A well regulated hermit would disdain to live within hrariEgof ti:c peretual footfails of a crowded street, and the sage refuses to court exclusive ttolitude. Xow I will pro((d: Whe.'i the 'ew YorK or Washington correspondent is short it will be very naturiil for him to formulate a fctory of Mr. Tihhn's health or Mr. Tilden's views in regard to I'resident Cleveland's policy. As it will, perhaps, be easier and safer to reprener.t Lira in a state of hii?h displeasure, inUlligence from that quarter will be cr;p with indignation. One thing is certain: No jHrter will represent him as srpialjle and

alkative, for tk;i woaM carry with it the necessity of an. nvrvieir or the privilege to report some of Jiis conterations. Mr. Tilden's letters, aii.l Mr. Tilden's talks happen to cclii'se iii frolarship, lrcadtli of view ami -oncisi thottght tiro contributions of any otner publicist to our political literature, and the ordinary roorter would experience large diftV-ttlty in coming up to his plane. For that reason nothing has ever successfully t en 1-aJtiied off as Tilden's that was not TiliknX In the genuine there is so much llend-r that no counterfeik has ever stolen into cimilation. One very convenient way of diposin, of him W.TS ad ipteil by the Washington tphal on fs?day. The Capital is edited ly ?nie kind of Republicans from lk)ston. 1 forget what they are called don't care to know, or something. The Capital pictures Mr. Tilden as 4m imbecile, which, of course, is very

funny, a it is wholly a lie. Mentally, if not a vigorous to-day as ever, Mr. Tilden is'niore the wry incarnation of mind than any other nun in America. My authority for this yiatenient is based upon no rumor, but comes dhvet from one who knw him intimately wthI sees hi.ni often." That he is in the last s,t;ges of physical decay is a lie. That he has snubbed Mr. lo vela nd is absurd, lie reninded th.e administrntion that Mr. Julian, of Indiana, was eminently deserving and should be given an agreeable ortico. That the pla es are distributed according to his liking I do nt know, t-ut that he is a?creel with Senator Voorhces and ic President Hendricks that patronage is a subject on whieh the IVnuxratir Ja."t r "ra n not afl'ord to put I ant assured. -l.e Tckitn.

Young Woman Burned io Death in Her Iloom The Door Heilig I.wrked freien te.l Her Keap. It E.u.i no, Pa., August 21. A horrible burning all'air occurred at Perkloiuen Junction, Montgomery County. Jennie Kulp, of (ireenlane, was staying at Herring's Hotel. She was engaged in writing a letter in her bedroom late at night, when she fell asleep, upset the coal-oil lamp, saturating her dotting and setting it on tire. The door was locked and she screamed and beat her body against it. The jdastcring was torn from the wall with her lingers in her agony. When linal-'y the proprietor heard her screams and opened the door of her room she dashed out, and through the house, and up and down the stairs until she fell down in a swoon, her clothing all burned off her !ody and her ace and head literally roasted to the hone. Shediedthis morning. Mr. Herring, in his effort to catch her, was severely burned, the girl, in her agony, tnrowing her arms alxxit him and burning his face, neck, and hands. A child with her in the room was also burned. What makes the ad'air all the more sad is the fact that Miss Kulp was engaged to be married, and the letter which she was writing was in reference to some arrangements for the coming wedding. She was unusually beautiful. Great Cxclteiuent In Dead wood. Dkadwooi, Dak., August 28. (ireat excitement prevailed yesterday in Sturgis, the wene of the lynching; of Ross Ilallis, the colored soldier, assassin of Dr. Lynch. A number of the colored soldiers of Port Meade, nu mbers of the Twcnty-lifth I'nited States Infantry, armed themselves and proceeded to the town of S'turgis, threatening to burn the place. On being informed of the trouble General Sturgis, commanding at Port Meade, detailed a patrol of the eventh Cavalry, which scoured the town, capturing and returning the disafTectants to the iost immediately after the burial of Dr. Lynch.

CITY OF ALEXANDRIA.

Thfl rhurcL in Wliich Washiigton and Lee Worshiped The Old Jackson House. Alexandria Contains 0ef th Mo,t Inter esting Masonic I.txlgra on the Anieriean Continent I nique Ilelics n 1 i TV.' lit Opinion o ' Dc.nriHj;. Spetial to lim ss-r.tiiMM. Washi.v -tos, August :'A I enjoyed a pleasant trip to A lex and ria, Va.. the other day. Leaving the wharf at the foot of Seventh street, fifteen cents- paid the fare both ways. The boats leave Washington and Alexandria simultaneously every hour, leaving th-o lespective w harves at T::ot si.ld. and o during the day. The ride over and buck is very pleasant, and occupies half an hour each way, the boats always passing midway on the river. I-caving the Seventh street wharf at 11 :,", I arrived at the Alexandria wharf at 12. .Alexandria vi a city of about l"",ooo inhabitants, and, like many people in the world. lias seen 1 ettei days. It 5s not noted s .much lor what it is as what it was. It does not how nieny evidences of present tliriit, but bears abundant marks of past prosperity. Its. wharfage, now going to decay, indicates that it was at one time a place of considerable commerce, and the many warehouses near by attest tin- fact. JHit most of this has been diverted to other points, and the wharves and warehouses are now almost idle and empty. And the streets; pr cent thc same appearance and tell the same st iry. In many of them the grass is growing, and the noise and rattle of trade is scarcely heard along their whole length. Passing up King street from the wharf, the first i-oint of interest is the old Jacksn House, where Kllsworth was hot. It is a moderate tied brick luiikiing, entirely (hanged in appearance from what it was during the war, and now used as a private dwelling. 1 next visited Christ Church, on Washington street, w here General Washington, with his family, attended service Kpiscopal service, of course. The family pew is there still, just as they occupied it. two seats facing l well represented by two seats in a railway car, one reversed, with a seat across the end farthest from the aisle. Into this a door opens from the aisle. Here the Washington family sat Sabbath after Sabbath, either by themselves or with such persons as they sawfit to invite in with them. If the jh?w was full nearly half of those occupying it would be sitting with their backs to the preacher. Hut perhaps the custom was to put the children in the front seat. The pews were arranged thus for the accommodation of families. This one alone remains as originally built. All the others have been changed so that all the seats face the pulpit. (Jeneral Washington's cw was ou the left of the building as you enter, almoin three seats back from the altar or chancel. General Lee's pew was almost directly across the aisle from the Washington vw, and differed in no sense from the others around it. On the top of the pew door was a plate bearing the name, lt. L. I.ee. in plain letters. Originally there was on General Washington's pew door a silver plate bearing his name; but some patriotic Yank thought it wasn't safe there and carried it home with hii.i. It has been replaced by a plain plate, with the name. Two arm chairs and a tabie that were in the chancel in Washington's time now stand in the vestry room. The church is a very comfortable one, w ith a gallery around three sides. The seats are cushioned and there is a pii-o organ, evidently put in long since ieneral Washington's death. The prettiest place I saw, and 1 must say the one that presents the most thrifty appearance, was the National Cemetery. It lies just on the outskirts of the town, and is .kept in the best s;ssjble condition. Here rests the remains of .'J,." I'nion soldiers who died lit hospitals in and around Alexandria. None who were killed in battle arc buried here. These National Cemeteries, alxjut seventy-five in number, are models of neatness and cart. They are kept as lean and can-fully as any gentleman's lawn. The Superintendent oi" the Alexandria Cemetery is Captain Davis, from lllair County, Pennsylvania. I U-turn mg from the cemetery we passed two handsome brick churches, almost directly opposite on the same street one belonuing to the M. IL Church and the other to the M. L. Church South. Py a marble slab in the front of the M. K. Church I noticed that it waS built in ls'fj and remodeled in 1S.".. Alexandria and a considerable lortion of Kaetern Virginia is in the Paltilnoi t 'onference. I took time to visit the hall of Alexandria Washington Masonic Lodge. This is a very .intereidiDg place to every American citizen, l)tit especially to every Freemason. It was General Washington's IIge, and he was its first Master. It was organized under a harter granted by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, and afterwards secured a charier from the Grand Ixlge of Virginia. In the K.l still stands the chair in which General Washington sat when he was Master. The jewels worn by the first o.'hcers are preserved in a case, and many other relics of the earlier history of the lodge. On the north wall of the lodge room, in a class case, are General Washington's wedding gloves, a glove he wore when he was President, Iiis compass, the collar and apron he wore when he laid the corner stone of the National Capitol, September IS, 17!).'!, and many other mementoes of his life. On a shelf in the corner of the room to the right of the Worshipful Masters' station, is the clock that stood in his private chamber at Mount Vernon, the hands pointing to the hour of his death 10:'O o'clock. Directly underneath the case containing the apron, gloves, conijas.s, etc., spoken of, is a small frame containing a letter written by General Washington just u month and two days bfor his death. It Is well preserved, and reads as follows: Moixt Vft.nox, 12th Nov., 17!). Gentlemen: Mrs. Washington and myself have leen honored with your jlite invitations to the assemblies in Alexandria this winter, and thank you for this mark of your attention. Hut alas! our dancing days are no more. We wish, however, all those who relish so agreeable and innocent an amusement, all the pleasure the occasion will ailbrd them. And I am your most obedient and obliged humble servant, G. Wakiiixoton. .mhssks. j05athan swift, Gkoik.k Dexeale, William Newton, Alkekt Yofsn, t'HARLKS Al.EXAXIiFE, Jamf.h H. Hook. This letter was almost the last lie wrote, as he died on the evening of December 11. 17!rt, at just lO.'Ji) o'clock, after an illness of only a few days. General Washington never was in this lodge room. Dnring his lifetime it met in different rooms in the town of Alexandria. It is now settled in rooms over

the Markei-h)ü'-e, and lias been since 10J. Probably im lodge room in Aiue-ica is so rich in historic relics as this one. Iut I had only tifte?n minutes in which to reach the lioat, and must needs l e going. On my way to the wharf I passed the Uraddock House in the rear of. and attached to which, still stands the old building w here General P.raddock stopped when on his way to Fort Du.jtiesne, w hich he never reached.

KtMoVAh ok ri:Xl ES OX THE I'l T.I.IC POM UN. An impression is said to prevail among the cattlemen that the order of the President of August It. calling for the removal of fences on public lands, w ill rot be enforced. It is stated at the Department that this order will be enforced to -yy? letter, and w ith the full force of the military, if necessary. l-osT W. HF I I.ATlONs I'fiRTl (: U..

Judge Maynard, Second 'omptroller of the Treasury, in passing on the accounts of .1. o. Skinner, Assistant Surgeon and Acting Medical Storekeeper cf the I'nited States Army, disallowed three vouchers aggregating .s.V." for jortraits of deceased Surgeon Generals of the army with their frames, which were certified by Surgeon Huntington, Curator of the Army Medical Museum, and approved by the Surgeon General. He says that, without regard to any irregularities which may exist in the method of making these pun liases, he does not think accounts for them can be allowed on the proofs presented. It is sought, he says, to make them chargeable to the Medical Museum appropriation for INS", under the following provision: For the Army Medical Museum, ami for medical and other works for the library of the siurgeon General s otlicc, ;lo,t"00. It holds that expenditures should be held strictly to the objects mentioned in appropriations, and that if this were allowed, it would set a dangerous precedent, which might - lead to indefinite expenditures for jiortraits of otlicers connectedj with the LUircaus of the War Department. EEXt E REMOVALS. It is not the intention of the Secretary of the Interior to issue any general oreler regarding the removal of fences from public lands, but it has been determined to deal with cases of violation of law specifically. It is believed that better results will thus bo obtained than from a general order, which would be looked lipon as a proclamation binding upon no one in particular. Special agents of the I-and Oltice are under instructions to report to the department all cases of illegal fencing, and instructions looking to the removal of fences will be promptly furnished for his guidance. In each case where an agent is able to effect a removal he is directed to do so, and when necessary United States Marshals are to be called upon, through the Attorney General. This action was taken to-day, upon the report of an agent, showing that large tracts of public land arc illegally fenced in in Southern Colorado adjoining the Kansas line. A letter was sent to the Atterney General requesting him to cause the United .States Marshal to remove the fences. A PKNSIOX CLAIM DFCIsioX. Second Comptroller Maynard lias made a decision in the case of the claims of soldiers for arrears of pay and bounty, who have been honorably discharged, but who are charged upon the military records with desertion. He says that "in a case w here a soldi r has been marked on the rolls and reported as a deserter, and it appears that within a reasonable time thereafter, ami w hile the war was Etill progressing and the army "engaged in active hostilities against the enemy, he voluntarily returned to his company and regiment, and was unconditionally received into the service, or was received on conditions which have been fulfilled not involving a forfeit of pa y, and he subsequently rendered faithful and efficient military services and was honorably dischargeel, it will be held that the presumption that he was a deserter, which the entry upon the military records and rolls might create, will bedeemetl rebutted and overthrown. In such case the soldier is to be treated as absent w ithout leave." The practice of the Second Comptroller's office in adjusting the pay and allowances due discharged soldiers will hereafter conform to the above rules.

PARNELIAS MANIFESTO.

Ccmments cf the London Press on Paraell's Speeches in London. The Times, Standard and Daily New Kx. press Opinion on I'arnell's IreHc lions in Kegartl to the Outcome of the Nationalist Programme. Lüniion, AujriM i. Mr. TarneH's lhiblin s)oeeh of yesterday has thoroughly aroused the Conservative press of Kngland. The Times says that no prudent politician can underrate the importance of the a- tion taken by the Irish Nationalists at their conference in Dublin yesterday. "Mr. Parnell's programme,' continues the Times, "may, however, meet with a fate similar to that which befell O'Conncll's at the time when Irishmen were as confident as they are. Mr. Parnell demands the repeal of the union, so the Irish question is no longer a question of loyal self-government. This miirht be acceeled to by Kngland. who will never listen to a plea for the separation of Ireland."' The Herahl says: "Mr. Parnell has declared war. It will be a sliame and a disaster if Knelish statesmen of both parties fail to bartie him. We do not pretend to ignore the danger to which the liiierial unity is exposed. Mr. Parnell now holds a strong hand. The late liberal majority in Parliament could afford to ignore him, but it w ill be di Herein in a Parliament evenly balanced between the two parties. Mr. Parnell has, however, rivals by the score. He knows verv well how precious Iiis tenure of authority is. if both the Whigs and Tories make it clear at the outset that Mr. Parnell's demand for honte rule w ill be met with a firm opposition, hi-? influence will be doomed.'' The News takes advantage of the exc itement over Mr. Parnell's lold declaration for Irish independence, to exhibit the advantage which a large liberal majority would be to the country.

About 2 o'clock this afternoon Tom Davis, otherwise known as William Warren, was shot and killed in a room w hich he called his office, at No. 113 Bead street, by a man who gives his name as James L.

Bisto., August :o. The young English surgeon, K. II. Crahatt-Dewey, of this city, who is referred to in the letter received a day or two .;go by Maxwell, the alleged murderer of Preller, in St. Louis, which letter purjoi-ts to have been written by Preller himself from Wilkesbarre, Pa., states that he knows nothing of the letter in question or of the St. Louis mystery, and calls attention to several characteristics in the letter jtcculiar to Englishmen. The characteristics, be thinks, he recognizes as belonging exclusively to Preller, whom lie knew quite well. The mention of Tewksl.ury in the letter referred to by Dewey is a startling incidence, inasmuch as a conversation of the kind referred to in the letter actually did take place between Maxwell and Dewey, to which conversation Preller was a listener. Dr. Dewey believes that Preller is alive, but is much mystified by the peculiar developments in the case, lie knows that Preller carried a heavy insurance on his life, because he was told so hy Preller himself. Dr. Dewey does not think that Maxwell's real name is Brooks. He says that Maxwell, as he knows him. was very cHeminate and was entirely devoid of courage. If it be Maxwell, he says, who is umler arrest in St. Louis and who presents so bold a front, he must be very sure of his ground. Dr. Dewey further says that he does not believe that the body supposed to be Preller's was ever satisfactorily identified. LUCIUS A. WHITE. His Statement to the United states District Attorney. St. Lor is, August .10. It having been said and spread abroad that the statement made by Lucius A. White, and now in the hands of the I'nited States District Attorney, is of the nature of a confession with the scheme to counterfeit Brazilian bank notes, the Assistant Attorney says it is simply a voluntary statement, and can not be used against White, nor can the District Attorney testify as to what it contains. White, in an interview in which he repeats much that has already been Published, says the man first broached to him the project of having the Brazilian treasury notes printed for use as labels. He speaks of one or two others and his brother James, not Lane; as heretofore stated. The matter of printing was arranged at the Louse of his brother in Texas, ami he then came to St. Louis to carry out the plan, lie denies, however, that it was their intention to use the notes for anything but cigar box labels. He speaks of. two or three persons he and his brother met in New York last spring on their return from Europe, among them Herman and Charles Levy, of 110." Fulton street, Captain Cunningham and a Mr. (lautiere, but he doesn't know that either of them knew anything about this scheme, although he now suspects that one of the Levys had been consulted by his brother Joseph.

BUTLER TO THE RESCUE

Cattlemen Evoke the Assistance of General Eutler to Stop Cattle Removals. They are Unwilling to tiive Up Their Mo noMly, and Claim They are in Legal l'it.rslnn 1j Their Illegal Leases. Lon. Bkavii, August The New York Herald published recently a telegram announcing that Jeneral Deiijamiii K. Butler had paid a visit to Block Island, about which there was more or less mystery. Among the guests in Hiblreth's West Knl Hotel last evening was Colonel Seorgc B. Corkhill, formerly Attorney of the District of Columbia. Colonel l orkhiU is a son-in-law of Judge Miller, probably the highest authority on constitutional law now on the Bench of the United States Supreme Court, and as General Butler's call was on Judge Miller, who passed the summer at Block Island, and as oloncl Cork ill was present at the Blot k Island interview, lie was asked t explain the olje-t of Butler's call on Justice Miller. Colonel Corkhill said: '"There was no political significance in his coming, but a great deal of business, which will, in the not remote future, make thing lively in the White House and elsewhere. I don't think there is any secrecy concerning it. nor any altern to conceal the real object. The real cause ot the visit wast the order of President t.'leveland directinsrthe owners of cattle in Indian lands jn the West to vacate their grazing grounds. General Butler is himself one of the proprietors ot" a large ranch and his clients and ersonal friends represent many millions of t'ollars of capital tints invested. The order is, therefore, of very irreat con-equeiice and importance to them, and he was preparing to sue the President of the United States, and the object of bis visit was to ask a preliminary order restraining the exec ution of the proclamation of the President until the question involved could be determined by the courts. General Butler's object was to "present the matter to Judge Miller, Judge Blackford being absent from his circuit and not easy of access, General Uutlcr. as 1 have said, represents many millions of dollars invested by his client's and presented very cogent reasons for some order to protect them. The desired order was not issued and 1 did not hear any of the conversation with Justice MillcraUitit it and I don't know w hat his views upon the question are." Colonel Corkhill then said that "there had undoubtedly been great frauds committed. Yet many honest men had invested money in the business, stiposing everything to be right, heulest and legal. Now the order of President b veland is peremptory, summary and dictatorial. He says they must go, and go it once. Now, about this order there will surely be a liht. The cattle will not bemoved. You couldn't move a colored picnic, let alone öoO.ooo l ead of cattle, by any proclamation, let it issue from thePresident or any one else. Yes, the fight will be made. It involves important questions the rights of projierty, theowerof the Indian to make inn tracts, ami the power and authority of th" Government to interfere, of one thing rest assured, the cattle will stay. The light will goon. We have no autocrat in this country. If a landlord wants to put you out of his house he goes to the courts, not to the President. If a contract has been violatqjj, we go to the courts, not to the Executive. A to what JusticeMiller decided I do not know. He did notgrant the injunction. Xo overt act had been committed. The President had simply issued an order. If nobody oWyed, that was the end of it, unless he attempted to enforce it, and then another question would arise." BUTLER AND THE CATTLEMEN. Cattlemen Ieny.ny Knowledge of Itutler's Application-They Claim It Itegards the I5emoal of Fences. St. Lens, August ÖL Cattlemen here, referring to the alleged application by Gen. Butler to Judge Miller, of the United State Supremo Court, for an order restraining the execution of the President's proclamation clearing the ranches in the Cheyenne and Araphahoe reservations of cattle, say that it General Butler lias applied for an injunction at all, it refers to the order of the President for tlie removal of fences from the public domain. Mr. Frank B. York, President and Manager of the Washata Cattle Company, who returned from the reservation a few days asro, says he has heard of no such action having been taken by cattlenion. On the contrary. he says cattle are moving in every direction, that the cattlemen are using every means to comply with the President's order; that fully one-half of the cattle are already off the reservation, and that the remainderVill le out of it in thirty days. Mr. Allen, of the linn of Hunter A: Evans, states that their latest advices are that there is the greatest activity among the cattlemen on the reservation and that every exertion is being made to get their herdsoffthe land as speedily as ossible. He is satisfied the rese rvation will be closed verv soon after the time allowed by the President's order expires. Mr. Pollard, of the law firm of Taylor Pollard, who represent legally a large number of cattlemen, savs he has no knowledge of such action, and thinks the injunction mentioned refers to the fence-moving order. Lynching of IxM-kie. New York, August 2. Dispatches printed! here from San Antonio, Tex., say: "Information from San Marcos reports that a mob of seventy-live iersons at Blanco on Wednes' day night went to the jail and demanded of Sheriff- Jackson the keys.

After a severe strugcle Jackson was overpowered, the keys were found on his ieron and the mob entered the jail and took out lockie, the man w ho committed wholesale murder in Johnson County a few days apo.
