The designs are original with each

a considerable stay at a fort near Santa
Fo, has black trains of cars wandering
over its red ground. The Indian who
made it evidently admired the sweep of
a railroad train anil reproduced itso far

the same collection has a queer mixed
bonier of scrolls and figures without tip

present owner relates, was admired by
a friend of hers, and in consequence a
reqnest to duplicate it was made of its
maker. Cut the old squaw promptly re?

the blanket was being wrought, and in

good bye to him. General Wilson assisted

OLNEY IN A HUFF.
Washington, March 4.?The absence of
Secretary Olney from the group ?>f Cabi?
net officers who received the President?
elect before starting for the Capitol this
morning was much noticed anil gave
rise to a rumor that at the last, moment
a break in the friendly relationship be
twoen President Cleveland and his Secre?
tary of State had taken place. This ru?
mor, which could not be verified, repres?
ented that Mr. olney had demanded Con
sul-Gcnoral Lee's recall from Havana and
that the President had declined to accede
to the Secretary's wish.
