COLLEGE CURRENCY.

Favorite Metheda Employed by Shupirs to Defraud the Pacr mi Ignor&l A Package cf the Scrip Cwfiicated by Chief Emcks of the Secret Berries. Lirely Tims Over & Successor to the Lite Secretary of the Smithsonian Institute. Tli TJto Troubles Arret of a Fenalon Examiner Dismissed from the MQitary Service Pensions. Washikgtoh, An. 20. At a business college conducted in this city by Mr. F. G. Martyn, a printed "college currency" is med, as is the custom at such Institutions. A package of the scrip which reached Mr. Martyn last werk was condemned and con tiscaud by Chief Brooks of the secret service. Tbe seizure has no more than 10331 j interes. beeiuse of the fact that the notes I have hardly any resemblance to genufne currency. They are simply pieces cf white paper on which are printed the denomination of the bill and the words "Msrtyn's Commercial College Back, Washington, D C." There is no dollar mark or mention of a dollar, aad the only thirjg that could possibly give them the appearance of money is the cut of the eagle on one side. In addition to thi3 the rotes are printed on white paper, with one side left blink. It would seem Impossible to make anybody take this scrip for real rroney, bat Chief Crooks, reterring to it, laid: "Our cgeot in New York was advised of the existence of this c urrency by a man having some pasted upon Mm in lien of gecuice money. The receiver, in doubt as to its character, showed it to a police effi-er, who believed it to be Renulae." I i plaining the law, the chief says: "You cannot imitate or counterfeit or prcduce a face simile of a govern mentoblijrtion (tbis word h&3 an extensive appliestiOD) in whole or in part, except by consent of the Secretary of the Treasnry without incurring liability to tine and imprisonment. College currency, taknn oat lor college uses, has been the favorite method employe! to defraud the poor and gnorant." THE SMITHSONIAN SECRETARYSHIP. Interest la the Sercansion to Prof. Balld'a Tasltioi. Washington, Aug. The scientists are iavicg a lively time over the election of a sueceesor to Prof Eaird, as Secretary of tbe Smithsonian institute. Tbe physicists and the naturalists are making hot war on eacd other. One of tbe latter, describing the situation, says: "Since the death of Prof. Henry the institution has been modernized and managed more for the instruction and entertainment of the public than for the benefit of the scientists who live like hermits in the towers and garrets of the building, and read the results of their investigations to scientific gatherings that were incomprehensible to the ordinary man. Prof. Henry was what is called a physicist that is, he did not think mucb of anything but the abstract sciences. As long as he lived there was no rational rnr.s9um. He used to ?iy that on the Smithsonian grounds there was no room for George Washington's old hat, Andrew Jackson's slippers, cr the chair in which Abraham Lincoln rat when he wa essastjicated. There was a lot of old fossil j and vertebra In the exhibition room of tbe building, a few samples of Iron and steel, but very little else. All the curiosities tbat belonged to the government were stored in the patent ofne of the army medical musenm, for waut of a better place. But when Prof, lleury died Prof. Baird commenced at once to pather the stores ot natural curiosities that bad been accumulated at different places tinder a single rocf. and starting with this nucleui, has made at Washington the finest museum in the world. lie was a naturalist, a practical man, who never encouraged in ves titration for the sake of knowledge merely, but for the welfa' of the race. Prof. Baird never prohibited the study of the abstract sciences, bat he secured appropriations from congress for the development of what he thought would hi more useful to man. There is no oubt cf Prof.; Langley's ability, lie is considered one of the ablest scientific men In this country, and in bis specialty hss few rivals in the world, but he is supposed to be a physicist of the strictest wet. It is feared that ;he may slight the development of paotography, for'example, cd st the young scientists to counting tbe stars or measuring the mountains in tbe moon. He is said not to believe in Prof. Baird's experiments, and cares more for a table of logarithm than a case of gold-embroidered fabrics from Cathay. TBE INUIAN TROCBLH. Official Account of the Ficht Between the Colorado Militia and tbe Ctea. Washington, August 20. Tbe following telegram relative to the Ute Indian trouble has been received from. Gen. Terry, at Chicago: "Adjutant-General United States Army, "Washington, D. C. : The following has jnt been received dated FL DuChesne, Utah, August 27, 1887: "To Assistant Adjutant-General, Department of the PJatte, Omaha, Neb. "The following from Lieutenant Bursett, Oh cavalry, who with twelve trooper. was sent by request of Indian Agent Byrnes to prevent the 1 invasion of the Indian reservation by the Colorado Butte troops and cow-boys near the border of reservation : "August 26, 4: 19 p. m. "Col. Byrnes, Indian Agent: "The Colorado militia under Major Leslie and tome cow boys surprised Colorow's camp at about 0 a. m., yesterday, after bavirg asrared Colorow, et Wolf Creek, the day before, that thsy would bs allowed to go back to the reservation unmolested. The attack was a complete surprise to the Indiacs. One child was killed, and one nan and one woman slightly wounded. The Indians returned the fire, killing one eow-boy, wounding three others, and mortally wounding three militia soldiers.. I talked with Major Ieslie, this morning, explaining tbe situation to him and came to an understanding. lie assured me he he would not cross the reservation line without orders from the proper authority. I lent a note to Sheriff Kendall giving bim your menage, that it he had any warrants to serve to serve them through you. This was in reply to a letter from bim in regard to warrants In his poeseaaion for Cjlorow axd others. I tm eatisSed that my presrcct prevented serious fighting and mach ism of life. Tfcaakj to the lofloence of in

terpreter Curtis. Indians Ungaskel, Waas, Cavaraugh and many others want peace if possible or war to the knife. I think the trouble is over. Most of the Indians left at once to see you. I will camp to-night about 25 miles from the agency and come in to-morrow, if nothing prevents. (Signed) Geoege R, Bcrsett, First Lieut. 9th Cavalry." Agent Byrnes has sbowa great discretion constantly. He has the confidence of his Indians perfectly, and if they are not attacked pn their reservation will hold them securely. They are well armed and superbly mounted. None of them who have lived on the reservation went to Colorow's assistance until after the attack. Reported by Burnett that now he is on the reservation. If further pursuit is made by tbe Colorado troops thev will stay with htm and make a terrible tale of bloodshed. The tribe is armed and preparing for the defensive. Signed Randlett, Commanding Post.

It Is letrned at tbe Department of State that Consul Bar chard, of Honduras, wboss removal is said to be desired by the Honduras Government, was appointed under the Haves adminis tration. Tbe salary of the office is but $1,000 per annum, and that the position is not ree-arded as desirable is evidenced by tne lact mat tners nave been no applica tions for it since Secretary Bayard assumed his present office. The report which is eald to have subjected tbe Consul to ad verse criticism was published a year ago, and was mainly directed against the li cenBlrg of the liquor traffic by the Hondu ras Government, rto complaint against Mr. Burcbard has been made by that Gov ernment, and as tbe Consul is regarded by the State Department as a faithful, effi dent officer, it is not probable tbat he will ce disturbed. - Violations of tbo 1'eu.lon Uw, WAfniNGTON, August 29.The Pension Office has information that Henry S.

Attached to the institution is a fine grove which will be used for the orphans. There are twenty-four acres of ground belonging to the Asylum. The building alone will C03t $40,000. Rt. Rev. Bishop Dwenger has exhibited good judgment in the style of architecture, the modern improvement, and the comfort he seeks to afford the homeless children that may be brought here from every part of bis growing diocese, which numbers (42) counties of the State of Indiana. It is thought the building will be dedicated in about three weeks, at which time the children are expected to be brought from the old orphan aiylum at Rensselaer to their new home. This will he for girls only. That for boys is at Lafayette. There was a great demonstration on the occasion of the laying of the corner-stone of this asylum last Fourth of July a year ego.

Tbe Salvationists and a Base Ball CI ab. Logaksport, August 29. SpeciaL Yesterday afternoon durine the ?ame of base ball in this city between the Logansport btars at a Lincoln Blues a novel proceeding occurred. Fully 3,000 spectators were present ana tne game was naif finished, when all eyes were diverted from the game by a spectacle never witnessed during a game of ball before. The Salvation Army swooped down upon the ball players with arum, tambonne and horn, and kneeling at their feet implored the God of tbe Universe to open their hearts in sucn. a manner as to cause them to respect tbe Sabbath. The vast throng hooted and elled, hundreds of small boys hurled showers of sticks and stones at the enthusiasts and tbey finally retired. The whole affair was a disgraceful scene and certainly borders on the ridiculous. Yesterday afternoon at the Fair Ground track while a little jockey was training a Crawfordaville racer ne ran Into Harry Forris'enlky, throwing the horse backward on tbe boy, injuring his spine in such a way that he will not be able to ride as jockey again, and it may kill hiru.

ceiving. For two weeks after the operation was performed, on August 10, the mother would tie the little cripple to a bedstead and leave it there for hours without nursing, although the child was tcresming with hunger.

Fort Wayke, August 28, Special. The second chapter of brutality has been reached here in one of the most horrible caEes of brutality that has recently come under public notice. Last night an illegitimate child of Mrs. Jno. Watersides, of Smiley Station, sixteen miles east of here, died after tbe infliction of tortures by the mother and her husband quite unparalleled. The child was born ten months since during the period of courtship, and after marriage Watersides frequently declared he would "be rid of the damned brat" He would tquef ze it in his arms until it fainted and would snap his fingers against its toes unt'l all were bruised. Worse than all he beat tbe infant so cruelly with a file that one leg and one arm were broken and it was allowed to remain in tbis condition without medical aid until neighbors procured two physicians, who amputated the leg and arm. The inhuman mother refused to suckle her offspring, and would tie tbe little cripple to tha bedstead and let it Bcream ia agony for hours. The husband baa been tent to Paulding County (Obio) Jail, and the woman has eluded vigilance of the neighbors and is dow at large. The affair has stirred up intense indignation among the rough class of people, who live in those heavily timbered districts that surround the villsge. A Story ot tbe War. LocASfroRT, August 2S.

Grant, a member of his company, and now a resident ot Star City, tbis State, and a member of a Mississippi regiment at tbe siege of Vickburg, in 'G3, that speaks volumes of the true bravery and courageous spirit that filled the American soldier. Heavy firing bad been going on all morning on both sides, when, as if by pre-arrangeraent, Grant, of the Federal forces, and an unknown Confederate soldier of the Mississippi regiment mounted tbe works and, unprotected, commenced firing rapidly. In an instant other firing bad ceased on both sides and all eyes were turned toward the two brave and fearless men, expecting every minute to see one or both fall. The distance between them was about aix hundred yarde, and strange to fsy, after exchanging with deliberate aim forty shots neither was touched, and both coolly returned behind their respective works unharmed amidBt the shouts of their comrades, who had looked on in breathless admiration.

HOME RULE SCHEME

Gilnn Duffy's Plan for the Faraitisn of an Irish Parti nun t. Prevalence of Cinnibalism among Certain Tribes in Eist Africa. Prince Ferdinand Advised to Summon U. Easkoffta Form ft Cabinet. Meeting of tbe Political Leaders of Bnlaria A Conference of German Socialists to be Ileld la Autumn. Losrox, August 29. Now that the government's majority has dwindled to seventy-eight and all signs point toward a return to power of the Gladstone-Paraell alliance, attention is again directed to the question of an Irish parliament A great deal of discussion may be looked for during the next few months as to what is the best form of such a body, for a Gladstonlan victory means home rule and home rule almost certainly implies a Dublin Parliament sooner or later, whatever makeshifts and substitutes may intervene. Gavan Duffy is already in the field'with a scheme for a parliament in College Green. He contributes to the September number of the Contemporary Review the outline of a plan for a house of commons and a senate. The house is tobecomposed ot- 10S members and the senate of fifty-four. The appointment of the judiciary is to be upon the lines laid down in Mr, Gladstone's measure in the '.last parliament. Mr. Duffy intimates that Mr. Gladstone is open to conviction upon the question of having Irish representation at Westminster in addition to the local parliament It is known that Mr. Gladstone was willing to make concessions on this point toward the close ot the last session. EATER3 OF HUMAN FLESH. Thrilling Experience of an Explorer In Kast Africa.. Naw Yoek, Aug. 29. Among recent discoveries in Africa none is more interesting than the new found facts relating to the prevalence of cannibalism in regions where its existence has not hitherto been suspected. It was not known, for instance, until Mr. Last returned from his travels in East Africa a few weeks ago tbnt at least one of the tribes between Lake Nyassa and the Indian ocean are as great cannibals as nisny ot the people in tbe Congo basin. Mr. Last is the explorer who was sent out by the Royal Geographical society of London to solve several geographical problems in the region east cf Lake Nyassa. Just a little south of Livingstone's route to Lake Nyassa, Mr. Last found 'that cannibalism is practiced among the principal chiefs of the great Yao tribe. This ts, perhaps, the largest tribe east of the Nyassa. The practice of eating human flesh is carried on only in secret, and the leading men in the tribe alone partake of these banquets. Mr. Last was told, as an excellent ioke on the Mohammedans, that a few of them from the ccast had been inveigled into taking part in one or two of these horrid feasts, in the belief that they were partaking of goat's flesh, of which the coast people are fond. Further east on the banks of the Lukugu river, Mr. Last found the Maua tribe, who openly practice cannibalism. They kill slaves for food, and also eat the bodies of the enemies they slay in war. Of times one of the villages privately determine to kill a certain person. They invite the victim to a public beer-drinking and as soon as he is far gone with intoxications the chief gives tbe signal to tbe executioner and they at once seize the !poor wretch and hurry him into the bush, where he is speared. Then the feast is prepared and the entire village partake of it. A drunken chief of his tribe told Mr. Last he would like to have his tkuli for a drinking cup. IN TBE BOUSE OF COMMONS. Debate on the Question of Increasing the Expenses of tbe Police In Ireland. Lospon, Aug. 29. In the House of Commons this evening on a motion to grant 762,815 for the purpose of completing the credit of the Irish police service, Mr. Dillon protested against the constant increase of the expenses of the police in Ireland. Althougn the population had decreased 200,000 since 1SS0, the cost of the I olice service had increased over 250,000. A monstrous and corrupt police force was kept up to evade the provisions of the Mutiny Act by maintaining a larger military force than was sanctioned by Parliament. The law was not enforced and rents were not collected, and the only effect of employing the police was to create widespread diss flection and to exasperate the people. Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, said be would cot deny that the cost ot police force of Ireland was largely in excess of that of England. He asserted that the responsibility for this state of affairs rested on those who were doing their best to foment the discontent in Ireland. Mr. Sexton said he believed that Ireland was the only country in the world, where, with a steadily decreasing population, there existed a steadily increasing police force to overawe the people. After a nine-hours' discussion, the vote for the Irish constabulary was carried 107 to 50. International Astronomical Congress. Kiel, Aug. 29. The International Astronomical Congress opened in this city to-day, Dr. Awers presiding. There was a large attendance, including astronomers from America, Australia, France and Sweden. Gov. Steinman welcomed the delegates on behalf of the Government and Prot Harsen on behalf of the University of Kiel. Dr. Awers, replying to the address of welcome, thanks the Government for the Interest tbown In the Congress. An Elephant on the Rampage. Ikgiksoix, Ost., Aug. 29. The largest elephant of Robbins' circus got away from the circus this afternoon and swam across bmlth's pond. He then went through the town at a lively pace, turned west and followed the river some distance, destroying any fences that were in bis road, got into a field where there were a number of cattle, acd, after cl asing them around for awhile, got on tbe Grand Trunk Railroad track and Is still on tbe road west about G miles from here. There area number of men with two other elephants after bim. Purpose of the Faroellltes. Loipoh, August 29 The Parnellltes are determined that Parliament shall not rise until a decisioa shall have been reached In the case of Mr. O'Brien, and began to-ntgbt what promises to be a prolonged discussion of the Irish estimates. Even by resorting to

the closure rule the government will be unable to balk their purpose. Mr. O'Brien's trial opens on September 8. ' Any attempt by the prosecution to strain the meaning of the Crimes Act as affecting Mr. O'Brien's case will be the occasion of a fierce protest by his colleagues in Parliament The conservative whips will be obliged to keep twenty members within hail to prevent a surprise. 'Electoral Facta of 1887." Lokdok, August 29. In the Nineteenth Century appears an article by Mr. Gladstone entitled "Electoral Facta of 18S7," in which he says that the general election of 18S6 Indicated not the conviction, but the perplexity of the country. He contends that the results of the' recent elections are equivalent to an improved Liberal strength of twenty-two per cent, and that giving the conservatives tbe benefit of all doubts, a new election would leave the latter In a minority of 103. Tbis basis, he continues, is too narrow to allow of a demonstration or the expression of undue confidence on the part of the Liberals, but viewing the figures in cold blood, a rational Tory or dissident will probably regard them as of marked significance and may even bein to inquire in a reflective temper ''where is all this to end?"

Twenty-five miles from this place down the Ohio river, and upon the Indiana side, the Union Gas Company, of Louisville, has struck a magnificent flow of natural gas at a depth of 400 feet It h'S been known for years that gas existed in small quantities in the region mentioned, the flow from one well on the Kentucky side having been utilized in the Ealt works of Mr. C. P. Morgan for twenty-three years. Other companies have been boring for several years past on the Kentucky siae in the hopes of finding a powerful enough flow to pipe to Louisville, but without success. Major Wm. J. Davis, the geologUt of the Union Company, and a gentleman of ability and high standing in Louisville, states that according to his calculations the flow of gas amounls to at least 20G cubic feet per second, which would amount to about seventeen million cubic feet per day. "Of course my estimates are not precise," he said, "but I feel assured that the flow is not less than ten million cubic feet dally. The greatest How of natural gas in this country is from the Haig well at Findlay, Ohio. There the flow is twelve million cubic feet in twenty-four hours. I do not believe the flow from the Harg well exceeds that from our well." THE LABOR INTERESTS. A Largely Attended Meeting of the Stove Moulders of Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 27. Iron Molders Union No. 23, which is composed exclusively of stove molders, had a largely attended meetleg laßt evening. The question before the meeting was the present demand for a 10 or 15 per cent advance in wages a question submitted by tbe National organization to be decided by the votes of the local unions throughout the country. It was argued that other means should first be resorted to to obtain the desired advance, and that it would be much more satisfactory, if the National Board could, by a conference with the stove manufacturers, bring about an amicable agreement on the question of wages. Tbe jproposition to demand a ten per cent increase was rejected. One reason for this, as stated by a member, was that the union preferred to be guided to some extent by the stove molders of Cincinnati, who had taken no action as vet Another reason was that the conditions in Chicago were not favorable for such a demand at the present time, and that it would be unwise under the circumstances to attempt to enforce it. Colorow Wants More Blood Dekvee, Col., August 29. A telegram from Meeker by way of Glenwood, says that information has been received that at Thursday's battle with Colorow, there were five whites killed instead of two and four wounded. Seven Indians and two tquaws were killed and five wounded. There has been no fighting since Thursday, but over COO Indiana are camped within six miles. The Indians are ready to tight at the least provocation. The loss of nearly 300 ponies and their squaws has made them wild and they are ready for revenge. Colorow Is reported as saying he can "get heap young bucks from White river, heap Uncompabgre, heap Navajo, who are young and want heap fight, and unlefs white men go back Colorow send for them." If he should, and make an attack, the militia and settlers estimate it would take the combined efforts of two thousand regulars to drive them back to the reservation. FlodlBf s of the Conrt-Martial.

ENEMIES IN THE CAMP

1 Scheme cn the Part of Kerneiiean Cierki to Damage the Administration. Errori in Departmental Rtpsrts That Ccoli Only be the Estnlt of Design. A Time When the Official Ax Conld be Used to the Best Advantage. Weather Bulletin Issued by tbe Signal Service Bureau for tbe Week Ending; Antust 27. Crop Summary. Washikgtok, August 2S. There have been a number of significant Indications lately of a widespread conspiracy among the Republican clerks in the departments to damepe the Democratic administration under which they are serving. Circumstances which have cores to the attention, of the heads of the various important bureaus are of a kind to suggest that this conspiracy is of an important and dangerous character. There is not a public office in which a majority of the clerical force is not Republican, despite the fact tbat the administration has now been Democratic for more than two years. These Republican clerks have coudacted themselves in a satisfactory manner speakirg generally but every consideration of self interest dictated such a course. It would have been folly for any Republican clerk to have endangered his hold upon cfSce by proceeding In a way to justifiy dismissal. Recognition of this fact has been a salutary restraint upon the great body of Republican clerks, so that as a rule they have done their work as efficiently since the inauguration of President Cleveland as they did when a Republican president was in the White House. It is unnatural to suppose, however, that a strong Republican partisan, placed in position becausa of his services to his party, could cease to be a partisan the moment the political control of the Federal government changed. The ' Republicans who remain In tbe departments are, with yery few exceptions, just as strorg and earnest in their political faith to-day ea tbey were before tbe election of Cleveland. In a thousand little ways there have been evidences of this fact, during the whole period the Democrats have had charge of the departments. These evidences of restraint of political feeling have been s5mply what everybody expected, and have not heretofore indicated any concerted detign to damage tbe administration. Now tbat the presidential election is approaching agin, however, as already stated, there are suspicious signs in more than one of the departments tbat these Republican clerks have put their heads together and combined in a premeditated effort to do all the ugly work they can. The time for this kind of work has just come. Such clerks as can be persuaded to undertake a dirty job of this k indem now be persuaded that if caught and exposed their dismissal would only be temporary. They are told the Republican party will return to power in 18S9, and if they are turned out now because of what they have done for their party, their reward will certainly come when the party is again in control of the Government. The department reports are all in process of construction now, the material being collected in each bureau which has to make up the body of tbe reports in the end. In more than one cese, f Cicient and competent Republican clerks, to whom tbe duty of compiling statistical matter to be embraced in these reporta has been entrusted, have returned tbeir statements with glaring errors. In tome clcis these errors have been repfatfd sgain and acaln by clerks whose general competency Is certain evidence of the fact tbat these errors cool i only be the mnlt cf detTjn. This ttirg Las heppened so often and in so many different offices, that it has begun to attract the attention of Democratic tfScialslgenerally. They strongly suspect the purpose is to lead the various officials into the publication of gross inaccarscles in their reports which the Republican campsign crators can afterwards use for party purposes. Of course there can only be suppicion that a deliberate conspiracy is at work to compass this end, but the indications are so strong that some of the t fhcia's are satisfied the conspiracy is a reality. Being forewarned, they are forearmed, however, and there is little chance iheucly scheine will work out as projected. WEEKLY CROP SDMMART. OnlyEate Corn Benefitted by tbe Recent Halns. Chicago, Aue.
