Washington, Oct 27. A motion waoa
made today in the United Suites supreme
court to advance the three habeas corpus
cases growing out of the arrest of the pro
prietors of the original packages establish
ments in Kansas for violating the prohibi
tion liquor law. The point raised is, that
it is necessary for Kansas to re-enact its
prohibition law after the passage of the
original package law by congress, in order
for it to become of effect as against the
selling of original packages. The chief
jiibtice announced that the court would
not decide the motion until the vacancy
caused by the death of Justice Miller had
been filled.
ELECTROCUTION.
Washington, Oct. 27. The first motion
to secure final action from the supreme
court of the United States on the question
nf t.hn nnnstitiiMnnnlif.v nf f.hn 'Vnic- Vnrlr
electrical execution law was made in tno
supreme court today. It was moved that
tlie case lie advanced and set down lor a w""i ge is lo du anonira an opportunity
speedy hearing. The point raised in the i of acquiring the rudiments of an Ei.glish
case is that the Kemmler execution education, aud t e elements of an houora
demonstrated that killing by electricity is We calling. The Indians themselves aie
a cruel and unusual punishment, and, as ' coming to understand the present policy
such, prohibited bv the constitution of , of the government, and are showing an
the United States. After counsel had
made the m tiou, Chief Justice Fuller
asked, "Is tin-re any distinction between
this case and the case of Kemmler?"
who made the motion, responded. "Yes.
y1""" V -"V""l "W lllt Wllil-Cl
hir; this distinction, that the carrying out
of the sentence in the Kemmler case was
not scientifically successful, aud the peti
tioner here prays that electricity will be
decided to be not a proper mo e."
The chief iustice took the miners.
xne wise in wnicn tue motion to acivance
was made is that of the Japanese Shibuya
Jugiro against A. A. Brush, agent and
warden ot the New York penitenti.trv.
Jusriro is under sentence of death for the
crime of murder, and it is proposed to kill
him bv means of electricitv. as is nrovided
by the law of the state of New York.
Couusel for both the state and for the pris
oner concur in tlie motion to advance.
There have been several stays of execution
nln-ady in Jugiro's case, and another aviII
undoubted!) bo necoswiry, as tlie case can
hardly be decided before the time last fixed
for his death.
MIZNER'S CONDUCT APPROVED.
New York, Oct. 27. A Washington
fpooiiiI tlio Herald says: It is under
stood that Mr. Mizner, our minister to
"mtial America, has received fromSecro
Ury Blaine assurances of the approval of
the ptesident of his conduct in the Barrun

rouie he, put sued. Tliu information
comes from the City of Guatemala, where,
it appears, the state department was most
anxious that the information should be
first ofiVlnllv momulcated. The reason
for tlii- is that as the president has no in-

The demaud for General Barrundia was
not based on political grounds, but entire

Mizner, in his explanation to tho state do

gonal feeling existing against Barrundia,
grow ing out of his former conduct as sec
rttar of war, and knowing also the tem

deemed it but just that, if landed, ho

Waht.ton, Oct. 27. Ex-Preidont
Cle eland UxIh) made his argument before
the supreme com t as associate counsel for
James WnllHce Peak, in what is known as
the New Orleans drainage case Some
lime before the opening ot the court at
in on the room was filled with members of
tlie bar iiud spectators belonging to the
general public An impatient crowd
meanwhile blocked the main entrance
nwaitiujg hiich opportunity to enter as was
nfiVirdco by the egress of persons who had
K tisned their cuiio-uy
Mr. Clei eland arrived at the capitnl
promptly at noon, lindmg the mam en
trance to the court room obstructed by the
crowd, he and Messrs. DeGray" and
Scmmes, the counsel with whom he is as
sociated, were conducted through the mar
bhal's office into the court room.
By a coincidence, there wore three Der
sons present who had been members of
the ex-president's cabinet. Mr. Bayard
was there and cave a hearty welcome to
his former chief; Mr. Garland had come
with a motion to file and seized the oppor
tunity to shake hands with Mr. Cleveland,
while Justice Lamar bowed and saluted
from the bench to which he had been ap
pointed by a lawyer who now sat before
him waiting to plead a case.
Mr. DeGray made the opening argument
"i the case, and it was a quarter to three
before Mr. Cleveland arose to speak.
After n preliminary st tement to the ef
fect that what had already been &aid
enabled him to omit referring to the first
twenty-seven pages, Mr. Cleveland began
to read from his printed brief. His voice
sounded low "but clear at first, and, as he
progressed, he gradually showed more and
more animation, modulating his voice
skillfully and emphasizing his points
by frequent noils of his head.
His language was simple and business-like,
and although the case
was very technical, he succeeded in hold
ing the interest of every member of the
court. Through all Mr. Cleveland stuck
closely to the printed brief, and he was
not interrupted by remark or question un
til the hour of 4 o'clock was reached,
when the chief justice called attention to
the fact that it was the custom of the
court to adjourn at that hour. Upon Mr.
Cleveland's statement that he had nearly
concluded, he was permitted to continue,
and iu a quarter of an hour reached the
end. Till court then adjo rned.
GaltonNun, attorne3' for the city of
New Orleans, will reply in an argument
tomorrow.
COMMISSIONER MORGAN'S REPORT.
"Washington, Oct. 27. Commissioner
Morgan of the Indian bureau, in his an
nual report to the secretary of the interior,
says of the Indian question generally, that
mere uas oeen lor ten years or more, real
progies in the right direetion, and the
outiooK lor tue tuture is encouraging.
"It has become," says the commissioner,
"the settled policy of "the government to
break up reservations, destroy tribal rela
tions, settle the Indians upon their own
lands, incorporate them into our national
life and deal with them, not as mtions or
tribes or bands, but as individual citizens.
The American Indian is to become the
Indian Republican. The public school
I system is being rapidly provided, whereby
every accessible Indian boy aud girl of
increasing readiness, and even desire, to
' ndjust themselves to it. During the oast

The commissioner favors compulsory
education, and upon this subject says: "I

single instance except for the improvement
of the service. Great improvements, ho
improvements, llO
continues, have been made at the govern
ment industrial schools. Upon the sub
ject of Indians in the public schools, the
commissioner says that, beliex-ing that the
public schools are the most effective means
of Americanizing our foreign population,
he is desirous ot brimring the Indian school
system into relation with that of the pub
lic schools. Nrt only so, but wherever
possible, he is placing Indian pupils in the
public schools.

tho commissioner to continue tne

been issued defining the rating under the

that would have given the claimant $12 or
more uuder the old law, he will be given
612 under this new act. It would appear
from the above that if claimant are not
entitled to a $6 rating their claims will not
be favorably considered. Some that have
supposed that trifling disabilities would
be given high ratings will be disappointed.
The indications are. however, that t!nw
who are disabled to any extent will be lib- j

loung Powers said that his family his

years-ud all they claimed would be proved
in time. The suit will prove to be a
strange, interesting and almost weird bit
of litigation. It at once invades the
sanctum of the Koman Catholic church
and attacks the character of a distin

THE LONDON MYSTERY.
London, Oct. 27. It is very probable
that the police will succeed in clearing
away the mystery surrounding the mur
der of Mrs. Hogg, the wife of the London

night in the locality of South Hampstead.
Mrs. Nellie Piercey.the friend of the mur-
dered woman, whom Mrs. Hogg visited on
Friday, and who-e house when subse -
quently searched by the police revealed
traces of a desperate struggle, and who
was consequently placed under arrest.was
arraigned in a police court today on a pre
liminary liearin
Hogg, the husband of the murdered wo-
man, was called upon to testify, and his
evidence disclosed tho fact that a liason
had existed for some time between himself
and i he prisoner. He hid a latch key to
her house, and frequently visited her. He
thought his wife did not know of his rela
tions with Mrs. Piercy. A further exami
nation of the kitchen at the Piercy resi
dence, reveals that a fierce struggle had
taken place there, and that attempts had
been made to remove the bloodstains on
the floor and about the room by the use of
parthne.

on thai point. Gen. Alger and Hob. J S
Ckirkson have been gnesv-ed as the men.
New York, Oct 17. Mr. Marat Hal
sioed was seen today by an Associated
Press roDOrter in regard to the sintement
te!graDlifcd from Cincinnati this after-1
noon that ha had sold a portion, and may
be the whole, of his stock intheCincinna i
Commercial-Gazette to a broker. Mr. Hal
stead read the dispatch very carefully,
and commented upon it as foUows: "I
have agreed to sell a portion of my stock
in the Commercial-Gazette of Cincinnati.
There is no deep political scheme behind
this matter, nothing revolutionary, or in
any sense remarkable. It is a strictly
business affair. The rumor that connects
with this transaction the names of two
distinguished politicians is without auy
foundation. I would also add that I shall
still remain a large stockholder in the
Commercial-Gazette."

"Sitting Bull is high priest and leading
apostle of this latest Indian absurdity; iu
a word, he is the chief mischief-maker at
this agency, and if he were not here this
craze, so general among the Sioux, would
neer have gotten a foothold at this

here since his return from confinement us

"While here she bestowed numerous

i effect upon him, inilatmg him with his
importance. The woman is now located
' on the north bank of the Cannon Ball
river, just outside of this reservation, and
about twenty-five miles north of th
agency. Sitting Bull has been a frequent I
visitor to her house, an I he has grown
more insolent and worthless with everv
visit he Ills made there: her lavish exnen-
' diture of money and other gifts uoon him
enabling him to give frequent feasts and
hold councils.
"On the 9th instant, upon an invitation
from Sitting Bull, an Indian named Kick
ing Bear, belonging to the Cheyenne river
agency, the chief medicine man of the
ghost dance among the Sioux, arrived at
Sitting Bull's camp on Grand river, to
inaugurate n gnost dance and initiate the
members. Upon learning of his arrival I
tuere, 1 sent a detncliment ot thirteen
policemen, including the captain and sec
ond lieutenant, to arrest and escort him
from tho reservation; but they returned
without executing the order, both officers
being in a dazed condition, and fearing the
powers of the medicine man.
'bitting liull was very insolent to the
officers, and made threats against certain (
members of the force, but said that the
visitors would leave the following day.
On the Uth I sent the lieutenant and one
man back to see whether the party had
left, and to notify Sitting Bull that his in
solence and bad behavior would not be tol
erated longer, and tnat the ghost dance
must not he continued. The lieutenant
returned yesterday, and reported that the
party had not started back to Cheyenne
before his urnval there, on the morning of
the 15. but left immediately upon
his ordering them to do so. ait
ting Bull told him that he whs
determined to contine the ghost dance.
The Great Spirit had sent a direct mesi-age
bv Kicking Be r that to live they must do
so, but he would not have any more dancing
until after he had come to tne agency and
talked the matter over with me, but the
news come in this morning that they are
dancing again. Desinug to exhaust all
reasonable means before resorting to ex

course of his speech he said the Liberal
party was prepared to wait for un expres
sion of the country's opinion regarding

scheme He urged the people to closely
watch the unyal and military oxpendlturos
of the government, which he declared
have gone beyond the bounds if prudence
nnd propriKv Speaking of the press of
business before the house of commons,
Mr Gladstone said that the Liberal Idea to
relievo this pressure was a largo plan of
evolution. Their scheme was to give to
subordinate bodies a large proportion of
the work with which parliament Is now
encumbered.
Referring to the foreign policy of tha
government. Mr Gladstone blamed Lord
Salisbury for sending an accredited envoy
to the Vatican, Similar action, he sniif,
had never been taken since the pope lose

over a part of Italy Continuing, Mr.
Gladstone said that the accounts of inter
nal oppression in Russia rnised feellugH
akin to abhorrence, and he trusted tho
world would soon bo favored with better
reports. Regarding Armenia and the mis
rule of tho Porte, he said that the long
series of outrages committed by the Turks
ou Ohristians might eventual y seal tha
doom of the once great Turkish empire.
