An Obnoxious Correspondent Fired From White Earth by Indian Police. the Notorious Nellie King Arrested for Horse Steal ing 1 Near Duluth. £pocial to the Globe. Hincklev, Minn., Sept. 25.— The fires are gradually subsiding and all danger is now past, though the smoke from the dying flames is dense in the village to-night. From fire fighting to dancing is the order of the dr.y. The annual ball of the fire department was fixed for to-night some time ago, and it came off in spite of the arduous labors of the boys during the past week. The management of the Brennan Lumber company presented the fire company with a §75 clock in recognition of its services, aud the boys are happy. The report that five men were burned near Pine City is untrue. ASHLASD, Wis., Sept. 25.— Specials from ten towns of Northern Wisconsin say that the rain of last night checked the forest fires. Drummond had a close Bhave. and hundreds of men were fight ing the fire at one time. Last nteht the weather turned cool and clear.

Peculiar Proceedings by Indian Police at White Earth. Special to the Globe. White Earth, Minn., Sept. 25. — AVliile W. P. Brown, a Minneapolis pa per's White Earth correspondent, was seated" in the ofiice of George W. Sweet and Theo H. Beaulieu, consulting Mr. Sweet relative to certain claims In which his family are interested under the new measures, a posse of armed Indian po lice entered the building and stated that they were instructed by Acent Shuler to arrest and evict Mr. Brown from the reservation, and, despite the remon- Btrancu of Mr. Sweet and the appeals and tears of Mrs. Brown, who was also present, seized and dragged Mr. Brown aboard a wagon and hurried him off the reservation. The arrest and eviction of Mr. Brown is no doubt owing to the publication of certain facts in a late issue of a Minneapolis paper relative to Agent Shuler's recent actions and the cutting oil by him of medical assistance and school privileges to individuals who are here, but who are not yet enrolled, and for the publication of which article Mr. Brown was held blamable by the agent.

CONFESSION CHANGES New York Presbyterians on the Subject of Predesti nation. A Remarkable Omission and Soms Drastic Changes Adopted. Dp. Vincent Delivers an Un orthodox Address at Union Seminary. Ex-Presfdent Cleveland Pays Tribute to W. L. Scott's Memory. Rochester, N. V.. Sept. 25.— The presbytery of Rochester has held its stated fall meeting at Nunda, N. Y. The matter of chief interest and im portance that came up for consideration was the confession of faith as revised "by the committee of the general assem bly. On Sept. 3, the clause, "God hath predestinated some of mankind unto life" was changed to "predesti nated a multitude whom no man can number." The last sentence in the sixth section of ■■ the same chapter was struck out, to wit: "Neither are any other redeemed by Christ effect ually called, justified, adopted, sancti fied and saved, but the elect only." The most remarkable thing done was to vote that the seventh section, chapter 8, both in the original form, which declares that "'the rest of mankind God was pleased to pass by and to ordain to dis honor and wrath," and the revised form, should be omitted altogether and the following adopted as a substitutetor it: "The Decrees of God. concerning all mankind are to be so construed as to be in harmony with these declarations of Scripture, ; viz: That Christ is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world, and that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and live." This change having been made. It was decided to be necessary to strike out the last section of the chap ter, which relates to the high mystery just expunged. Other changes were made, such as the following: In chapter 6, section 2, the statement "defiled in all the faculties and parts of soul and body," was modified. In the third sec tion of the same chapter , the clause "the guilt of this sin was imputed" was dropped, because to say "we all sinned in Adam" is to say what is utterly un intelligible and inconceivable, and the whole idea is contrary to natural jus tice, and to the express declaration of Scripture, "The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father." In chapter 7 the clause, "promising His Holy Spirit to all that are ordained into life," was changed to "all that ask Him."- A similar change was made in chapter 10, section 4, where it is said the non-elect '.'may have some common op erations of the Spirit," should read, "may have the gracious operations of the Spirit." These were all of primary interest that were passed upon by the presbytery. _ • IN BRIGGS' FOOTSTEPS. : Dr. Vincent's Address- at Union Was Not Orthodox. New York, Sept. 25.— The little chapel of Union Theological seminary, usually sacred to quiet devotion, rang with applause yesterday while Rev. Dr. Marvin- R. Vincent delivered to the students and friends of the institution the annual address, opening the scho lastic year. In the same place seven months ago Dr. Charles A. Briggs read the famous inaugural which has : since promised to disrupt the Presbyterian church. In every way as vigorous in tone and as advanced in thought. Dr. Vincent's address was almost equally remarkable, and may be followed by re sults as important. President Hastings and other leaders of the seminary smilingly admitted that what Dr. Vincent had said was exactly in the line of. Dr. Briggs' effort, and if the one was heretical the other was not orthodox, but this did not seem to worry them. Most of those who crowned the chapel were the supporters of Union, but five or six gentlemen were those who are noted opponents of Dr. Briggs. Among them was a layman from In diana, who, at the Detroit general as sembly, was a foremost anti-Briggs lobbyist. The friends of Dr. Briggs said these gentlemen , attended yester day for the purpose of "getting ammu nition." From which it appears likely that there is trouble ahead for Dr. Vin cent. A FRIEND'S TRIBUTE. Ex-President Cleveland's Esti mate of W. L. Scott. Erie, Pa., Sept. 25.— A constant stream of visitors passed in and out of the Reed house yesterday afternoon to pay their respects to ex-President Cleve land. In the course of a conversation on the death of Mr. Scott, Mr. Cleve land referred to his late friend in a feel ing manner. "My acquaintance with Mr. Scott dates further back than his prominence in public life. That ac quaintance, however, rapidly drew to a close intimacy, which was only inter rupted by his death. I learned- to love him for his sincerity and for his stead fastness in his relations to his friends. His preference for people was based on something he saw in them of sturdy usefulness and upon qualities of inde pendent strength that commanded his respect, ; and having once selected a friend he remained a friend in - all cir cumstances and without a shade of turn ing. "But there was another phase of his character which should endear his mem ory not only to his personal friends but to every true American. As a : public ! servant he was patriotic, disinterested, ' honest and . sincere. . As a member of congress he spent his efforts and his thought in advancing those measures, and objects: which he deemed for the good of the entire country, and he never belittled this position nor diminished his usefulness by seeking to accomplish legislation which had relation ■ to his own benefit or to interests merely local and circumscribed. It was certainly true of him ■. that, having determined that a certain. course of conduct led to the promotion of the public good, his private interests and all personal con considerations were get a.side as he fol lowed in the way of public duty. If his life had only; beenyaluabieifor the ex ample he set for the faithful perform : ance of the trust ■■ \M '■ peobie repo|e '■ in. their public servants, m should be re membered, with gratit tide fti)d affection ; and when wef.Seail- his ptjjer traits ot 'mind aud heart, those who loved/ him cannot fail to be comforted by those ' precious memories which he has left for ■ them." . ;t WEARY PILGRIMS. ■ Disappointed Land-Seekers in the Cherokee Strip. Arkansas City, Kan., Sept. 25.— A great many wagons are trailing back over the Cherokee strip with people who failed to get claims In: the lands opened last Tuesday. Almost all of them will drift about, living under can nas, waiting for the strip to" open. They seem to feel as if every one on the strip is their enemy, and are said to be tiring the grass in hundreds of places. They do not know when they are on the strip or when they are on the Indian reservations, and the reservations, along the Santa Fe have suf fered greatly. About . Panca yester day the grass was burning on every side, and it was only after a hard light that the houses a little way from the station were saved. To the west the whole line of the horizon was a wall of smoke, looking like a great chain of mountains covered with snow to^heir base. The grass is very dry ancrlires are sure to cover the larger part of the strip and render it useless for winter grazing. Chandler, Okla.. Sept. 25.— Gov. Steele arrived here yesterday. As soon as tits presence became known large crowds gathered around him to inquire when the town site would be opened.; He addressed the people in a brief speech. He said the surveyors were hastening their work as rapidly as pos sible, but he could not say when it would be completed. It is expected the opening will take place to-morrow at noon. The water supply is still a source of considerable annoyance. There seems to be plenty of water just below toe surface, and wells are now being dug. Considerable lumber is arriving, and as soon as people who intend to transact business get a location they will com mence to put up buildings. An amusing feature of the preparations for the rush is the practicing for the race. Expect ant claimants Ftrip themselves of all superfluous clothing, and, with watch in hand, note the time it takes to make the race. _^ HILL IS CONFIDENT. New York's Governor Calls Mr. Fussed \s Bluff. - Rochester, N. V., Sept. 25.— Gov. Hill arrived in the city to-night. He was welcomed by Mayor Carroll. The! governor in the course of his reply said: "We have carried every state election for nine years, and the issues in this campaign are the same as those upon which we have won an unbroken line of < victories. So far as the issues relate to " my administration, 1 am willing to stand upon them, and I think that the Democratic party is willing to stand upon them. This campaign is one of people against the aristocracy. lam pleased with the ticket, and it is one which; should 4 please all good Demo crats. The prospects for victory were never brighter. Our party is united,, and that means success. "Mr. Fassett has said that the campaign is the skir mish before the batth*— as goes. New York this year, so goes the country} in 1892.

He and Mr. Camp bell represent the honest differences between the two parties at tnis time. There is no dodging and no evasion, and the voter need not be deceived.

Total, 579,604,083 acres. Mr. Carter protests that the unsatis factory experience following the grant ing or swamp lands to] the states can not properly be urged against the plan proposed for the settlement of the arid rand question, and then says: "While the swamp land grant states may have been indifferent and unwise in dealing with a grant which was but a mere in cidental matter, the desert land grant states could not afford to thus deal with and consider a question of vital im portance. Indifference would court ad versity and recklessness would bring ruin. When a proposition of this grav ity is submitted to any organized body of American citizens directly inter ested in its wise consideration and so lution they will consider wisely and act well." BEX IS CAREFUL. Why the President Delays Filling Vacancies. Wasitixgtox, Sept. 25.— The presi dent was relieved from receiving many callers to-day, as the cabinet met for its usual Fridi'y session at 11:30 o'clock. A few callers however, occupied his time until then, the most prominent being Justice Lr-Tinr, who called to discuss the merits the various applicants for vacant ] iv sal honors. Attorney Gen eral Millfci also had a talk with the Firesident on kindred subjects. The de ay in announcing any appointments for the interstato commerce commission, the court of claims and- the United States circuit courts, in all of which there are vacancies, is occasioned, it is said, by the extreme care the president l fs exercising in obtaining information as to the personal habits of the appli cants.

New York, Sept. 25.— Official warn in? was given to New Yorkers from the office of the president of the board of health to-day not to eat grapes— at least just now— unless they want to be poisoned. At noon a big raid on all the big wholesale stores was started. Yes terday a citizen, whose name is not given, brought several bunches of Con cord grapes to sanitary headquarters, asking what was the suspicious green substance that clung to the stems of the fruit. The grapes were sent to Acting Chemist Ernst Lederle's - office for analysis. He examined them with some alarm, for the most casual inspec tion convinced him that the green stuff was copper of some kind. Mr. Lederle went promptly to work in his labora tory, with his assistant, Mr. Weeks. The first test of the green matter showed it to be, as expected, copper. Leaving Mr." Weeks to finish the test for arsenic, Mr. Lederle hastened at once to the president's office and told Mr. Wilson of his discovery and of the danger it foreboded— nothing less than the possible poisoning of the town, or of that part or it, at least, that eats grapes. Mr. Wilson summoned Sani tary Superintendent Ewing and "Dr. Cyrus Edson- by telephone at once, and a hurried conference was held that re sulted in an order for the immediate in spectiod of ail the grapes in the city. Dr. Ledeiie, Mr. Weeks and a half dozen policemen were told off for the duty at once and went down to begin among the wholesalers. On their way, hair a stones-throw from sanitary headquarters, they seized and destroy ed the stocks of W. 11. Becker, a grocer at Mott and Houston streets, and of Giuseppe Farnerila, a Houston street grape peddler. It was .', believed .- by the authorities] that the majority, of the stock in the city is tainted with copper. It is the i result of the efforts to "destroy the phylloxera that have attacked the grapes everywhere this year. Copper is used for this. Ordinarily the green crystals are observable mainly, on the stem, where they had been protected from the rain by the clustering grapes. At 1 o'clock Dr. Lederle and his party arrived at , Washington market. They stopped at a big fruit stand under the L road station at Cortlandt and Church streets. The up-river grapes, or those which come from Ulster and the ad joining counties, were found sprayed with the green substance. The seizure amounted to over a barrel and they were destroyed despite the protest of J. Fellar, their Italian owner. He was very ugly over the raid and made so much noise that he attracted a crowd of -fifty persons. From there the raif was continued along Greenwich, Washington, Barclay, Warren, and the other streets where wholesale fruit dealers have their head quarters. The news of their coming spread rapidly among the dealers, and wherever they went a crowd followed. The next important discovery was made at the warehouse of A. H. Grefe, a fruit commission merchant. Over thirty-six I crates of up-the-river grapes were ex amined. They were called Marlboros and Concords. Every crate was con demned, and Mr. Grefe was requested not to dispose of them until an analysis was made. The stems were ' covered with a green substance which Dr. Led erle said contains copper. Specimens were taken. '.. A STRICKEN TOWN. Osseo, Wis., Has a Typhoid and Diphtheria :■ Epidemic.

A Dishonest Broker Unwittingly Enriobes His Finn. Chicaoo, Sept. 25.— Not many crises nre on record where a dishonest em ploye in robbing his employers has un wittingly enriched the firm. But the boaid of trade furnishes such a case. It has been talked about pretty exten sively, although the house in question has said nothing. The members just chuckle. The house is one of the best known of the establishments that rank second to the five or six first-class houses. A year aiio the house hired a young man, and put him on the floor as Its broker. He had uractically spent his life on the board, and he had specu lated on a small scale with profit to himself. Besides being a knowing young man as to the details, he had a pretty, cood notion of the larger side of speculation, and he came to the conclu sion that corn was going to drop before long. He beean to sell and corn began to rise. Deacon White, down East, was getting in his work. The youtis; man continued to sell, and corn perversely continued to rise, until thu young man's small capital disappeared. He could go no further, and he made up his mind to a daring piece of dishonesty which would have made him rich if it had gone undetected, and which, having come to light, broke him and drove him from the town. The members of the firm were bulls in every kind of grain. The young man undertook to use th« firm In his speculations. He continued to sell for himself extensively, but he put the sales down to his firm. In the language of the board of. trade, he "buried them"' It is said that ho sold as high as 07 and 68, and still corn rose. The young man saw the storm coming and fled the town. The members of the firm made an investigation, aud when they found i out the extent of the young man's deals they were paralyzed. They were bulls and they did not desire to throw a lot of corn on the market. Then, corn was pretty high anyhow. One of the mem bers said "stand pat," and they held their corn. Pretty soon the smash came, which the young man had foreseen. Corn began to drop, aud it went slowly down until it reached the place where it met poor Deacon White trying to butt against it and crushed him. The firm watched it and grinned. The young man watched it from his hiding place and swore. The firm had unwittingly profited by his dishonesty in a good, healthy sum. This is the way a board of trade man put it: "His account with the firm stands: Short, I(3o,oooSeptem ber corn, averaging 57><i ; market to day, 49. You can see why the firm likes it."
