GARCELO W
The Falsity of His Recent Address
Exposed.
THE EX-GOVERNOR'S MEMORY A*·- !
PARENTLY VERY TREACHEROUS.
Àûgusta, Feb. 28—In ex-Gov. Garcelon's
address to the people oi Maine, recently pub
lished by him, he stated that the expense of [
protecting the property and inttitntWos ot the 1
Stat· was not eutholrizsd by him ; that he is in
no way responsible for it, and that all ex
pense incurred by his orders has been paid
except about S300 now in his hands to be paid
out on call, though he does not state by whaj
law he as executive of the State of Maine be
comes paymaster. The facts are these :
Jan. 5,1880, Gov. Garcelon issued his fam
ous order to Gen. Chamberlain, ordering him
to protect the property and institutions of the
State until Gov. Garcelon's legal successor was
chosen. This order gave Gen. Chamberlain
full power to employ all the civil and m ilitary
force that might in his judgment be necessary.
Under this authority Gen. Chamberlain as
sumed command and held the State in his
control until the evening of Hie 17th of Janu
ary when Gov. Davis wa« inaugurated as Gar
celon's legal successor. During all this time
tlie militia and a very large police force, to
gether with the sheriff of Kennebec county
and all his deputies, were under Gen. Cham
berlain's immediate command, so that all the
expense that accrued by the employment of
the force of all kinds by Gen. Chomberlain,
between Jan 5and 17, was authorized by Gar
celon. Gov. Garcelon also gave separate in
structions to Mayor Nash and Sheriff Libby.
On the morning of Jan. 7, he sent the follow
ing letter to Mayor Nash:
Sir,—I desire to see you at as early an hour
as you can grant me for the purpose of con
ferring with you on matters of public safety.
I shall be at the State House after 8.30 a. in.,
and at my room at the Augusta House p-*or
thereto.
(Signed,) A. Gabcklon.
In response to this letter Mayor Nash went
at once to Gov. Garcelon's room at the State
House. Gov. Garcelon desired the Mayor to
assume the responsibility of keeping the peace.
Mayor Nash went immediately to Marshal
White and directed him to put part of the
Augusta police force into the State House,
which the Marshal did without delay. Jan. 6,
Gov. Garcelon gave Sheriff Libby written in
structions to quell any riot or disturbance
against the peace of the State that might arise
in Augusta, calling his special attention to
chapter 123 cf the Revised Statutes. Under
this order Sheriff Libby summoned his twelve
uv^uuuo w vuo υαριΐίυι tuiu CUJIVH1U.UU. DO âCt
till his services were dispensed with when
quiet was restored iu the latter part of Janu
ary. In addition to the forces of Mayor Nash,
Sheriff Libby and Gen. Chamberlain, all act
ing directly under Gov. Garcelon, there were,
on Jan. 7th, 140 men in the State House under
command of Capt. Black, enlisted under Gov.
Garcelon's orders, which seemed to indicate
that the Governor anticipated danger of trou
ble. Having directed the enlistment of Black's
company which cost the State several thou
sand dollars, and having directed Gen. Cham
berlain to protect the property and institutions
of the State, which he found Black's company
could not do, he now denies all responsibility
for the expense incurred thereby though his
orders to Chamberlain, Nash and Libby re
main on file and every dollar of the expense
up to the evening of the 17th of January was
incurred directly under them.

Gardiner Notes.
Gardiner, Feb. 28.—James Lawrence of
Pittston, who was thrown from a wagon and
severely injured, died this afternoon.
The petition of citizens to purchase the
Gardiner and Pittston toll bridge, which came
before the Legislature last week, caused great
excitement in this city, special trains carrying
large delegations of citizens, running to Au
gusta. A second meeting wfll be held this
week. If the bridge is made free almost the
entire eastern country trade which now goes to
Augusta will come to this city. The bridge
pays eighteen to twenty per cent, per annum.
Over a million tons of ice have thus far been
harvested in the Kennebec and adjacent
ponds. The present warm weather has seri
ously interfered with the business. The price
is steadily advancing.
At the Republican caucus, to-night, D. C.
Palmer, the present mayor, was renominated
by acclamation. A [strong Blaine delegation ^
was elected to the district convention.
Pillsburv Wants 1620.000 fnr TTla
ter.
Augusta, Feb. 28.—Ε. P. Pillsbury, of the
Maine Standard, lias brought a libel suit
against Sprague & Son, of the Kennebec Jour
nal, for an arttcle published in the latter paper
some four or five weeks since. The charge is
made for defamation of character and injury
to Pillsbury's business. The damages are
placed at S20,000, returnable to the April term
of the Superior Court of this county.
In the article on which the suit is based, the
Journal called Pillsbury a scoundrel, and said
if he had his deserts he would be looking
through prison gates on account of his con
nection with the great counting out frauds. It
also called him a vile whelp, a disgrace to the
bar, a shame and reproach to .the community
and a loathsome ulcer upon the body politic.

6X-COUNCILLOR FOGG'S PROFANE
THREATS,
Augusta, Feb. 28.—C. B. Roiluds ot Calais,
vlio,during the counting otit Campaign,offered
he challfcitgo to Gov. Garcelon and Council to
ithibit the returns from Washington county,
iras before Hale's committee today.
He is the "counted out" county attorney of
Washington county. He said that early after
lie election it was reported that lie had re
seived 297 majority for the office. Some ten
lays after there were rumors that life wa;> to bo
•ounted out on defective rëtuiilS. The Cher
■yfield return was cited. He came to Augus

he purpose of examining the returns for
Washington county. He was told that where
here were defects tliey would be counted
igainst the Republicans. He came with certi
ied copies of the record of the oount. The
jovernor and Council refused to give him ac
:ess to the returns, and informed liim that the
charges he had made were groundless and in
sulting. He had charged that there had been
substitution of returns, and the Governor and
Council denied this. On one occasion, in hi®
rain attempt to obtain a hearing, he was met
it the door of the Council chamber by Coun
jillor Fogg, who said to him, "G—d d—η you
Rounds, we will oount you out if we don't any

THE INDIAMS.
Proposed Legislation for the Elevation of
the Indians—The Pencas and their Re
moval to Indian Territory.
Washington, Feb 29.—The Senate com
mittee on Indian affairs today reached an
agreement to prepare and report an original
bill designed to cover the entire range of the
Indian question by the enactment of a new
provion based upon the general principle that
the United States shonld in a great measure
abandon the policy of treating the Indians as
children and place them as speedily as possi
ble upon the footing of .citizens. The main
features outlined by the committee are first:
Permanent lecalization of Indians by allotiiig
homesteads to them in" severalty with the pro
vision that lands so allotted shall be absolutely
inalienable during 25 years; second, extension
over the Indians of general civil and criminal
laws of the United States or of states and ter
ritories within whose border they are locat
Oil · tin r(l nniltlllilri ti All a# η nnntniri ilnminn > . Ρ
assistance to them by the government in view
of their progress toward civilization until they
become self-sustaining uy means of agricul
tural and pastoral occupations.
It is not proposed by the committee to trans
fer the control of the Indians to the War De
partment, but the bill largely divests the Inte
rior Department of discretionary power in re
gard to the Indians by placing them individu
ally under the control of the country's general
laws. The provisions of the bill are not to
apply to the five civilized tribes of Indian
Territory. Its details are yet unfinished and
will be the subject of consideration at future
meetings.
Col. Brooks, acting commissioner of Indian
affairs, was before the committee today and
furnished specific information as to the pres
ent condition and progress in civilization of
each tribe of Indians in the United States ex
cept the civilized Indians of Indian Territory.
He was specially examined as to the adap
tability to agricultual uses of lands now occu
pied by each tribe and it was ascertained that
all the tribes except two—the Utes and Lem
his—are in reservations capable of supporting
them by meeus of agriculture and stock rais
ing.
The special Senate committee on removal of
the Poncas, took testimony today from Edward
Miller, an Omaha employed as blacksmith on
the Ponca reservation at the time of their re
moval, and from John Springer, another
Omaha, who narrated through an interpreter
his conversation at the Omahas' reservation
with a Ponca chief on their fugitive return
homeward from Indian Territory.
The inquiries of the committee for the past
few days have been directed toward the ascer
tainment of bottom facts in regard to the docu
ment purporting to be an application of the
Ponca for removal to Indian Territory which
was forwarded to the Indian Department in
1875 The t Ponca witnesses have unanimous
ly testified they never signed any such docu
ment and that the tribe never proposed to re
move there, and that no such proposition
ever was made to them until an officer came
and forcibly removed them.
Tibbies informed the committee that Mor
gan, who interpreted to the Poncas the docu
ment which they did sign on that occasion re
ferred to, repeatedly told him and had pub
lished an article stating that ne never inter
preted to them any document asking their re
moval to Indian Territory. This made the
document on file at the Indian bureau look
very much like forgery, but Bright Eyes a day
or two ago made a statement to the committee
which seems to shed new light upon this docu
ment. He ' said that the Poncas knowing
nothing of the white men's geography were at
tho time of signing that document utterly ig
norant of the location or even existence of In
dian Territory; that neither he nor the Poncas
h*d any Word in their language corresponding
to the word territory and could only speak of
it in their language as the Indian country or
reservation ; that when Morgan asked them as
to their willingness to remove to the Indian
country or reservation they understood him to
mean the reservation of Indians with whom
tunes to wit—the Oinahas—they therefore,said
Bright Eyes, signed the document which they
supposed to be a petition for removal to the
Omaha reservation, but which really was a pe
tition for removal to Indian Territory. After
ward they made a treaty of peace with tlio
Sioux and reconsidered that action, deciding
to remain on their own reservation, and did so
until they were forcibly removed.
This statement of Bright Eyes was elicited
in the course of comments on testimony given
by Major Currier, agent of the Poncas. When
the paper in question was signed Major Cur
rier testified that the paper was unanimously
signed by the Indians and he refused to have
anything to do with it unless it was so signed,
on the ground that he would on no occasion
divide or make trouble in the tribe.
TELEGRAPH WAR.
The Lines of the Atlantic & Pacifie Taken
by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co.
New York, Feb. 29.—The Atlantic & Pa
cific Telegrapli Co., which lias had an arrange
ment as to dividends with the Western Union
Co., had prior to such arrangement a com
pact enabling them (the Atlantic & Pacific) to
control the wires along the line of the Bald
more & Ohio [railroad. Today, however, the
telegraph war assumes a still more complicated
nature. The Baltimore & Ohio Co. served a
notice of its intention to take control of and
operate the telegraph lines of the Atlantic &
Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio between Wash
ington, D. C., Marietta and Cincinnati, Wash
ington. Pa., Columbus, O.. Newark, O., and
Chicago, heretofore operated by the Atlantic &
Pacific under a temporary license. After the
notice had been served and the lines all taken
by the railroad company, an injunction was
served on Pressident Garrett of the Baltimore
& Ohio at the Windsor Hotel in this city to
restrain hiPcompany from taking possession of
the lines which were put there by the Atlantic
& Pacific Co. in 1876 and 1877 under an ar
rangement made by Gen. Eckert, then Pres
dent, and D. H. Bates, then General Super
intendent of the Atlantic & Pacific Company.
This arrangement, it is alleged, provided that
the railroad company, who were at that time
afraid of consolidation betweeen the Western
Union and the Atlantic & Pacific companies,
should at any time have the option of taking
the lines at cost. Saturday a contract was con
cluded between the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road and the American Union Telegraph Com
pany, having ten years to run, whereby all the
telegraphic work and business on that railroad
shall be managed in connection with the
American Union Telegraph Company instead
of the Western Union and Atlantic & Pacifio
Companies. The Baltimore & Ohio lines ag

lines pass.

Arrest of one of the Sand Lot. Ora
tors.
THE CITY QUIET AND NO TROUBLE
ANTICIPATED.
San FlUrtpiscb, Feb..28.—T1|o supervisors
have rescindai! . tho restitution eudorsing, tlie
action of the hoard of health in condemning
Chinatown. The resolution of endorsement
embodied a reference of the matter to the
committee of Health and police to enquire as to
thebest method of carrying out the measure,
audrtlie rescinding of the resolution was based
on,the ground that no report had been received
from that committee.
A communication was received from the
Mayor obiectijig to llie recent grdar increasing
tho police force, holding it unnecessary. The
rescinding of tho resolution endorsing the
action of the board of health does not neces
sarily affect their action of condemnation, as
tho board of health has full power in the
premises.
L. J. Gamin, chairman of the committee of
the unemployed, who lias boen prominent in
calling upon employers of Chinese, asking the
substitution of white men, speaking on the
sand lot and generally heading the movements
of the unemployed, was arrested Friday night
on a warrant charging him with the use of in
cendiary lailguago at the sand lot Thursday.
Ho was bailed by Sheriff Desmond.
In his communication to the supervisors
Mayor Kalloch stated that he had been told
by ex-Supervisor Gibbs that the police had
definite information that a plan had been
formed to fire tho city in several different
places, but he believed the report untrue.
There was another scene in the assembly
chamber at Sacramento today. Branunbart
who was suspended yesterday, took his seat
and attempted to speak but was ordered under
arrest and removed. He is now on his way to
this city with a view to bringing the case be
fore the Suereme Court.
The subscription to furnish funds for cm
ploying needed men to work on the Golden
Gate Park is meeting with gratifying success.
The city has to all appearances resumed its
wonted quiet and no further disturbances are
likely at present. The impression seems to be
that if the order to condemn Chinatown is
carried out legally and in good faith at the end
of 30 days'! notice there will be no further
trouble, but if anything occurs to i ν '^rfere
with the execution of thai project there will
be no guarantee for peace. The arrest of
Gamin yesterday appears to cause no excite
ment among the workiugmen.
Sand lots meeting today was in nowise differ
erent from the regular Sunday meetings, cï
cept in the larger attendance.

EUROPE.
How the Winter Palace was Blown Up.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 28.—It may be unin
telligible to many persons abroad how the Nih
ilists succeeded in doing their work in the very
residence of the Imperial family. Probably
no other building in St. Petersburg is less safe
than the Winter palace. It his always been
the refuge for numberless vagabonds, working
men, friends of servants and others, many
without passports, who wouM not live with
impunity anywhere else. An imperial uka^p
of last April gave full power to Gen. Gourko
to search the buildings of the palace, but even
that severe Governor General could hardly
venture, such is Russian administration, to in
terfere with the special authorities of the
Imperial residence There is an old Russian

The Tây Bridge Disaster.
London, Feb. 29.—The inquiry into the dis
aster to the railway bridge over the Frith of
Tay on the night of Dec. 28, is proceeding at
Dundee before the board of trade. Several
painters who painted the bridge last summer
testified that they saw numerous bolt holes
empty, that they found bolts in holes where
there should have been rivets and found rivets
without headi and bars loosened and un
screwed ; that one of the supporting columns
of the high girders which was cracked from
top to bottom was held together with four
hoop bands; that some time the oscillations of
the bridge were so great that they feared it
would fall. The evidence created a considéra
ble sensation.
Speech of Gladstone.
Mr. Gladstone, last night, addressed a meet
ing at Marylebone, London, in behalf of the
Liberal candidates at the next general elec
tion. Regarding rumors of the dissolution of
Parliament be said the debate now progressing
in the Commons deprived the government of
that opportunity. He declared that all parties
were agreed that obstruction is a bad thing.
He attributed the recent Conservative success
in Southwark to Liberal dissensions over local
arrangements. The concluding part of his
speech was devoted to the Irish affairs. He
disclaimed any friendship for Home Rule and
said the unity of the empire and authority of
Parliament must be maintained independently
of every other consideration, but deprecated
all angry judgment of his Irish fellow-citizens
and said he could not forget the abominable
conduct of this country towards Ireland for
many generations.
