PROTEST FROM GREAT BRITAIN.
Claim That Chinese Officials Have
Violated Treaty Eights.
London, Nov. 23. —Lord Rosebery,
British foreign .Minister, has Bent a note
to Pekin complaining that the Chinese
officials have violated treaty rights by
forbidding r.riti.sh vessels to carry grain
from Shanghai to Tien Tsingand
permitting native steamers alone tocarry
such grain. The British right is held
under a treaty made in lsßo between
China and the United States, Great Brit
ain in her tri atj ordi d the most
d nation treatment. The I
< .overimient urges that tho I nil ed States,
by the adoption of the* binese Exclusion
Act, has broken her treaty with China,
and has thereby excluded Great Britain
from the benefit of the most favored na
tion clause. Lord Kosebery, however,
insists upon the withdrawal of the pro
. .n, maintaining that the Anglo-
Be treaty of ISoG conceded Great
Britain the ri^ht now demand d.

Government since that treating of .Minis- !

court this morning with attempting to
secure bril ea from both property-owners
and the city. The matter has caused a
■ ion.
Attorney Walker staled to the court
that In; had reliable information that
some of the sewer contractors who hud
the promise oi'a contract had succeeded
in getting; lour men on the jury.
Attorney Kellogg said that in riding
down ;.:i elevator with Juror Edward
\\ ood the latter said, "You attorneys are
getting iii;,' money out of this case and
we jurors are only getting $1 per day."
The court ordered the members of the
jury before him, one by one.
In the investigation that ensued T. H.
Andrews, a juror, admitted that ho trigd
to rais< money and said Juror Van Allen
■ an Allen denied the truth of
the statement.
Lincoln was sentenced to one year's
imprisonment in the County Jail for ci n
tenipt of court. The juror's contempt
lay i:i the fact that he made no less than
half a dozen attempts to obtain a bribe
from attorneys on both sides of the case.

of the jury from further duly. Lincoln
admitted baying tried to borrow money,

Cofsicana (Tex, , Nov. 23.—A sensa

in this part of the State on aci ount of the
rerythatC. I. Huntington and .lay
Gould have been quietly obtaining con
trol of the franchises of certain small
roads in this Slate. It is asserted they
v.iil make feeders of them for the South
ern Pacific and the Cotton Belt systems.
Tin-vex. franchise to be bought up is
the Waco ami Northwestern. This has
- pan ••! the Houston and
Central, and included 277,2.i0 acres
of land - ate to aid in the
construction as well as a franchise to
build to Red Uiver, thence to tin' north
lundaryofthe state. It is adver
tised to be sold at Waco. December 'Jnli.
[t is stated that Huntington has already
complied with the terms of sale, and will
bid up to any reasonable amount nec
esary to secure this valuable link be
tween Houston and the Texas Central,
which he now virtually controls. I his
done, he will be in a position to squeeze
the owners of the latter road until they
will be only too glad to sell out at his
figures. Huntington will then have a

I'urciiaso or Indian Supplies.
Washinoion, Nov. 23. The annual I
report of Assistant .Secretary of tho In-!
tenor Bussey is very lengthy. It deals
exclusively with the work of the Hoard

port shows that on .luiy 1, 1881, there
were 5,030 appealed pension cases on file
with the board, and June 30, LSB2, they
ken reduced to 4,349, There were
1,-l.is appeals tiled during the. year. Of
the 4.93U cases acted upon during the
year the decisions of the Commissioner
were sustained in 3,865, his action re
versed in I' i cases; _vi dismissed and 4u9
reconsidered by the Commissioner
pending appeal.
I n this discussion of the pension laws
Bussey calls attention to several di
in the pension legislation and makes nu
mi i -us suggestions for amendments. On
June 30, USB, there were borne on tiio
pension rolls the names of ttf»,o3< pen
sioners, !7y,y2S more thaD carried on the
sane Kills at the end of the preceding
tiscal year and 457,050 more than ou tho
rolls June 30, IBBi.

fact thai the appropriation bill for Indian
services is usually passed 30 late in the
year that it seems impossible to let con
tracts for supplies In time for delivery
before the winter sets iv, and tin-. ■
cially :'.s to blankets and winter clothing,
I much Buffering, lie recommends
that the appropriation for these supplies
be, made one year ahead.
