NEWS AND NOTES OF VARIOUS DE
GREES OF INTEREST.
Washington', Oct. 23. Owing to cer
tain clerical errors in the tobacco schedule
of the new tariff bill, several persons
claim that the whole law is invalidated,
and some of the importers have Riven
notice that they will contest its enforce
ment. No alarm is felt here among the
friends of the McKinley bill as to the
legality of its enforcement. The pre
cedents of years, an old and experienced
employe of the house, suid today, leaves
no doubt that an error, whether of omis
sion or commission, in the enrollment of a
bill passed by congress does not vitiate
any part of the measure, except that part
to w inch the error relates. Errors of some
kind occur, he said, at every session of con
gress in ac least one or more important
bi Is, and to hold that the omission or in
sertion of any paragoaph, word or punctu
ation mark, invalidates, not only the part
of the bill to which tho error is relevant.
bur the entire measure, would establish
chaos in tho affairs of tho government,
and compel congress to remain constantly
in session to correct, immediately, on dis
covery, errors in bills signed by tho presi
dent, in order that, the operations of the
government might be carried on.
During the very last session of congress
an error was made in the eurollmentof the
river and harbor appropriation bill the
omission of two ciphers in the amount ap
propriated for the improvement of the Illi
nois river, so that $1,000 instead of ?100.C0)
was appropriated. A week or more alter
the bill became a law, the error was dis
covered, and congress promptly parsed a
joint resolution to correct it. "The fact,"
i.e continued, "that in this joint resolution,
as in numerou others passed for the cor
rection of bimilar errors, comriess enacted
no provision to give legal eliect to tho re
lii.uader of the bill, shows conclusively
that, iu tho opinion of the legislative
branch of the government, an error iu one
part of a measure does not vitiate it as a
whole."
WINDOWS POSITION.
Washington, Oct. 23. Secretary Win
dom said this morning that lie knew noth
ing officially about the protests against
the legality of tho McKinley tariir lull.
"I do not," he said, "regard it as tho prov
ince of an executive officer to question tho
constitutionality of the act of congress.
It is for him to enforce the law as he finds
it, and not to determine questions unvot
ing its legality. I am. therefore, executing
the M"Kinley tariff act a. I find it ap
proved by tho president of tho United
hlutes, and certified as correct by the presi
dent of the senate and tho sneaker of the
house of representatives and 1 shall con
tinue to do so unless a competent legal
tribunal, such as tho supreme court,
decides that tho law is unconstitutional.
GROVER IS NOT DEAD.
Washington, Oct. 23. A rumor was
current here this morning that ex-President
Cleveland had died suddenly some
said in New York, others in Washington.
Upon investigation, it appeared that there
was no basis for the story, and that the ex
president had arrived in Washington, and
was quartered at the Arlington hotel, and
was looking as well as usual. When the
story was called to his attention, he said:
'You may tell my friends that I have
never felt better in my life, than I do at
this time."
Mr. Cleveland came to Washington to
arguo a case before the supreme court, and
was accompanied by Messrs. H. Gill, of
New York, and R. D. Grav. of New
Orleans, who are presumably interested
in the case. The three gentlemen were in
private consultation in a room in the hotel
all of the morning, and access was denied
to callers.

Washington, Oct. 23 Secretary Blaine

for Cauton, O., where he will speak Satur
day. From that place he will go to Chi
cago, but he will not speak in Indiana.
NO ASSESSMENTS.
Washington, Oct. 23. In reference to
the alleged activity of the political asso
ciations, especially in the matter of rais
ing campaign funds, among the govern
ment employes in Washington, Civil Serv
ice Commissioner Roosevelt to day said
that the commission would pursue the
same course it did last year.
"In former years," he continued, "these
assessments were levied openl-; now they
are levied in secret and by stealth, if at all.
There is not the slightest necessity for any
clerk to pay anything now unless he or she
wishes to. We are sure that no cabinet
officer would permit a man to be dismissed
for refusing to contribute to a campaign
fund. It would be a direct breach
of law to permit anyone to be mo
lested for such a cause. Tim

LONDON, Oct. 23. The Diaries and Let
ters of Major Bartelot, the commander of
Stanley's rear guard, are published here
today. They contain serious charges
against the African explorer. The book
was edited by Walter Bartelot, who in the
preface says: "It is not likely that this
book would have been written, or one
word of its contents ever been p'ublished,
had justice been even nartiallv dnnp. nr n
kindness shown bv the leader of the
expedition to the officer who was left at
Yambuya with his implements, stores and
baggage." Charges of malignant ingrati
tude, misrepresentation, and desertion,
are then brought against Stanley. Besides
other less importaut accusations, the issue
presented is whether the misfortunes of
the rear column were due to the indecision
of Major Bartelot, or whether Stanley
himselt was primarily responsible.
In his book, Mr. Stanley finds fault be
cause the rear column did not follow the
advance column as directed. Mr. Barte
lot aoserts that his brother's diaries and
letters, as well as the testimony of the sur
viving officers, show that Stanley made it
utterly impossible to carrv out his orders.

WAsniNOlON, Oct. 22. Secretary Rusk
says that ho is receiving encouraging re-
iiorts of progress from Mr George banders,
lis special agent in Great Britain, relative
to the removal of the British restrictions
upon tho importations of American
live stock. In a recent report to the
(secretary Mr. Sunders incloses ex
tracts from the British journals,
which give, among other things,
the details of the embargo recently placed
upon a shipment of Canadian cattle to
Scotland Iho secretary said this Erglish
account of the incident confirms what he
lias alwavs contended namely, the diffi
culty of depending absolutely upon a sin
gle diagnosis in order to determine whether
hj mptoms of diseaso indicate the conta
gious or nou-coutmzious pleuro-pneu-monia
It wy on this ground that the
secretary co' eluded to adopt the present
plau of co-ir ipection by representatives of
his own dej .irtniont with the Briish in
upcctors. Tho sec etary also said that ho thought
tho actio of the British authorities in tho
Dundee case rsther justified tho inference
that t'.o restrictions imposed and main
tained on American cattle by the British
govor anient are duo less to any spirit of
unfr.endlineas which might lead to dis
criminations against the United States
than to a positive fear lest, through any
lack of their official vigilance, dnnger to
British cattle might ensue, and this nat
ural 1 leads him to the conclusion that
comparatively little difficulty will be
experienced in securing tho re
moval ot any restrictions dis
criminating between American and
Canadian cattle just so soon as the British
authorities can be thoroughly convinced of
tnc immunity winch American cattle now
enjoy from contagious pleuropneumonia
and of tho ample powers vested in tho sec
retary of agriculture to control and eradi
cate it should any outbreak occur in the
future The lecrotary feels highly en
couraged at the present state of his efforts
to remove restrictions upon American
cattle.

WALT AND BOB.
Philadelphia, Oct. 23. Col. Robert G.
Ingersoll lectured tonight at Horticultural
hall to an immense audience on "Liberty
and Literature," the proceeds for the bene
fit of Walt Whitman. Col. Ingersoll in
troduced his lecture by saying:
"At the time, a vouug man he to
whom this testimonial is given, he upon
whose head have fallen the snows of more
than seventy winters gave to the world a
book, "Leaves ot Grass." This book was,
and is, the true transcript of a soul. No
drapery of hypocrisy, no pretense, no fear.
All customs were forgotten or disregarded,
all rules broken nothing mechanical, no
imitation, spontaneous, running and
winding ho a river, multitudinous in its
thoughts as the waves of the sea nothing
mathematical or measured.
"His book was received by many with
disdain, with horror with indignation
and protest hv tho few as a marvel us,
almost miraculous, message to the world
full of thought, philosophy, poetry and
iiiusu. online iui- jrni' jo. nil? .wlicriran
pi-ople have developed; they are somewhat
acquainted with the literature of tho
world. I pronose to examine this book
and to state in a general way what Walt
Whitman has done, what he has accomj
plished and tho place ho has wou in the
world of thought."
Pol. Ingersoll then entered into his
theme with spirit and eulogized Mr. Whit
man, recounting his many acts of kind
ness, to the young especially, speaking of
him as a philosopher, and passim: on the
lecturer recited and commented" on the
poem, "Word Out of the Sea," and tho
lines on the death of Lincoln, "When
Lilacs Last in tho Doorynrd Bloomed,"
"The poem," he said, "will last as long as
iho memory of Lincoln."
"In this one book, in these wonderous
'Leaves of Grass,' you find hints and sug
gestions, touches and fragments of all
there is of life that lies between the babe,
whose rounded cheeks dimple beneath Ins
mother's laughing, loving eyes, and the
old man, snow-crowned, who, with smile,
extends bis hand to death."
The venerable poet, to whom the occa
sion was a testimonial, sat in his wheel
chair on the stage, and at the conclusion
of Col. Iugersoll's oration, rolled himself
forward, and in a feeble voice tendered his
thanks to the audience aud to Col. Inger
soll, finishing his remarks by exclaiming:
"Hail and farewell, hail and farewell."
The scene was very impressive.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct 23. At this
morning's meeting of the American
Humane association, with Mr. Edwin
Lee Brown presiding, the subject of cattle
transportation was taken up. During the
past year a special agent had been appoint
ed, through the efforts of Miss Caroline E.
White of Philadelphia, to travel over the
different roads and see that animals were
properly treated and watered while in
transit. The chairman stated that there
were about 8,000 improved cattle cars in
use west of Chicago, while there were none
of these improved crs used east of that
city. Au effort will be made to secure a
more general introduction of these desir
able cars. A committee composed of rep
resentatives from each state was appointed
to nominate officers for the corainjr year.
Mr. W. H. Hobbs, of Indianapohs, con
tributed a paper on the work of humane
socities, while Mr. R. F. Reed, of Natchez,
Miss., gave an account of the humane
work in the south.
At the afternoon session of the associa
tion, the following gentlemen were elected
to fiil the principal offices: President, Mr.
in L.ee crown, oi hicuku; treasurer,
Mr. J. J. Kelso, Toronto, Canada: secre
tary, Mr. Erastus Branham, of Cincinnati
It was decided that the next annual meet

men were shot down, namely, B. E. Mc

John Hendrix. None of these are dead,
according to the latest reports. The gov

people are at the mercy of an armed mob
of negroes. He accordingly ordered the
Waycross rifles to proceed at once to the

THE l-'BEHAL PHOGRAM.
London, Oct. L3. -Mr. Gladstone spoke
at West Calder today. He referred to tho
result of the Eccles election as a forecast
of the triumph of the Liberals in the com
ing general election, which, if the present
ratio of gains coutinue, would give them a
majority of nine y. Referring'to the Irish
question, he objected to the name "Sepa
ratists," as applied to the home rulers.
The appellation, he said, was untrue and
unfair. There was now no question anions
tho Liberals about removing the
Irish representation from Westmiuster:
nor did they propose to repeal
the act of union. But they did propose to
delegate to Ireland the control of local
affairs. He advocated the principle- of one
man, one vote, and snorter parliaments.
Commenting upon the enormous power
workiugmen now possessed. lie said it
would prove beneficial, as the judgment of
great questions by the masses was more
enlightened than that by the educated
classes. The bulk of what workingmen
had gained in tho contest with capital had
been through the judicious use of combi
nation. Workingmen ought not to con
tract the habit of appealing to parliament
to help them out of difficulty by a special
act. Freedom of action, reliance upon
themselves, and unity of policy, would
lift them to a higher position as individ

Special Dispatch to the Dally Eazle.
Gothkie, Ok., Oct. 23. Mr. Foster, after
the minutes were read this morning, took
occasion to argue in favor of the legality
of the bill defining the powers and duties
of the probate court. In support of his
position he called the councilors' attention
to a recent decision of the Oklahoma su
preme court upon the powers of the
county court.
On motion of Mr. Brown of Oklahoma
the consideration of the bill was made a
special order for tomorrow at 2 o'clock.
The council then went into executive
session, and appointed Miss Daney to the
office of assistant clerk, and Mr. P. R.
Smith to the position of assistant enroll
ing and engrossing clerk.
Mr. Foster administered the oath of of
fice to Miss Daisey, and she entered imme
diately upon the discharge of the duties of
her office.
The council next resolved itself into a
committee of the whole, with Mr. Nesbitt
in the chair, to resume consideration of
council bill No. 43, which was under dis
cussion. Mr. Brown of Oklahoma is the father of
this bill, and it is in some sense the most
striking bill of the session. It attempts to
remedy the weakness of the land offices
and town site commissioners, they not be
ing able to compel the attendance of wit
nesses, in providing that commissions
might issue from the county jude,
and requiring him to take depositions,
with full power to compel attendance.
Mr. Brown of Logan, onooed the bill
because he thought it would be illegal.
Mr. Foster strongly championed it.
This morning Mr. Brown presented a
substitute for his bill, providing for the
appointment of a commissioner of deposi
tions in each county, who shall be an at
torney of at least five years practice; to be
appointed by the distr ct judge, with
power to compel the attendance of wit
nesses within 100 miles, and to punish for
contempt.
It was so amended as to compel wit
nesses residing at a greater distauce than
100 miles to attend wnen mileage at the
rate of 10 cents a mile is tendered in ad

Chicago. Oct. 23. William T. Hunter,
a western stockman, has come to Chicago
for the purpose of forming an association
for benefiting cattlemen in a financial
way. Mr. Hunter's plans are quit com

cattle raisers millions of dollars now eaten
up by the proeut low prices and brokers'
profit-. '1 he real object senilis to be to
run against the "Big Four" and smaller
packers following iu their wake. Tne
plan is to establish stock j-ards at con
venient western points, and hold ship
ments back until the "Big Four" and
others are ready to go to the association
for terms.
"It is a big scheme," said Mr. Hunter,
"and all that is necessarv for the associa

Said a prominent member of the "Big

of cattle east. Cattle were never so plenti

DIXON WHIPS MURPHY.
PnoviDENCE, B. I., Oct. 2:). Fifteen

A STARTLING STORY.

Kansas Citt, Mo., Oct. 23. Thomas
Knight, geological engineer of the Rock
Island railroad, has been for some months
past in the Indian territory, making a geo
logical survey of the part of that country
which is to be traversed by the Kock
Island extension. He returned today, and
in an interview said that an alarming feel
ing of discontent exists among the Indians
of the territory.
'There is undoubtedly a very uneasy
feeling nmong the Indians," he said,
"with respect to the occupation of their
lands by the white settlers. This has al
ways been more or less the case, but ot
lato their disconteut is assuming a more
definite and dangerous shape. By some
distortion of the Christian doctrine, the
tribes appear possessed with tho idea that
an Indian Christ is shortly to come among
them, and by his inspired leadership lead
them in an irresistible crusade against tho
whites. An Indian in Wyoming has al
ready assumed the messiahship, and will
visit the territory shortly. It ih difficult
to put this hallucination of theirs into a
business-like shape, for they guard
it with extreme caution. Some few
white men have been taken into their con
fidence, and expect, in some way, to serve
their own selfish ends by joining them.
These white men have let remarks drop
unawares that convince mo that prepara
tions are being made for some serious
movement. Then I have learned that
such is the case by the new songs of tho
Indians, that tall of coming war aud vic
tory. For mouths past there have been
passing among the tribes various tokens
and signs that mean discontent and secret
plotting. There appears to me to bo a
gravity in the situation which ought not
to bo over lookedr T'o jnst what extent
the Indians are preparing for war, if war
it is to be, I do not know. I believe, how
ever, that willingness to part with their
land has been dictated by the desire to
purchase the accouterments of war with
the money received in tho sale of their
reservations."
Mr. Knight's visit to the territory was
particularly for tho purpose of making a
thorough examination of its mineral re
sources, and esnecially to investigate the
reported phenomenal finds or gold. He
made an exhaustive investigation; nnd
while he has found that small finds of
gold have been made, ho is not of the
opinion that gold exists in any considerable
quantities, and says that most of the ex
citement is due to stilting and systematic
booming by persons who have land to dis
pose of.

not prevent the gathering of an enormous
crow . at the station, vho cheered the gov
ernor lustily as he eutered a cab and was
driven to the v.llage tavern. A reception
was held in the hotel parlors, and hand
shaking by hoary-handed sons of toil
taxed the governor's strength for two
hours. After lunch he proceeded to the
village opera house, and addressed
an audience composed of residents of

by 13,0v0 people, and as many more had
been unable to secure even standing room
in the hall, wheu the governor, who was

applause, and at the conclusion he was
driven to the depot and returned to
