Wednesday and Thursday of this week wit
nessed at White Earth Indian agency the novel
ind suggestive scene of a most oroditable agri
cultural fair, under the auspices of the Indians
ot tho innervation. That the fair, in the num
ber and quality of the articles exhibited, was
a most flattering success is no more surprising
than tbe fict itself that native red men, bat a
few years under the oivilizing influences of
rOnervatio-i life, could be inspired with an am
bit ion to ike any part in snch
an exhibition. But the White Earth
agency is an exception to the
geneial rule, hiving been well managed,
and especially since Mr. Charles A. Ruffee, the
present agent, has had charge. Thoroughly
faim.iar with Indian character and earnest and
honest in his endeavor to improve the condition
of his proteges ho ban succeeded in building
un in tho minds of bis charges a spirit of emu
lsion and a kind ol ciprd da corpi, as it is
cillcd which is .ihcady commencing to bear
good trnit
White E-rth Indian agency is located in
I5tt kei county in the northern portion of the
St ite unci bin un area of 796,672 acres, of which
im re than one h.nf is adapted to cultivation,
the leraimder being wood and grazing, with
It ttlt) or any ol it valueless. Threo tribes of
Chippewa Indians are located upon the reser
vation, Mississippi, Otter Tail 1'illager and
IVmbma, with a population of nearly 3,000
nils, of whom about 1,590 comes directly un
der tho influence- of the agency. There are
threo chool buildings on the reservation, with
tw male and one female teacher, with about
1,501) souolin. The agency is in the oaro of
th Protestant Episcopal church, which has
iree church buildings upon the reservation,
with about 5 church members.
Lint year there was raised on the reservation
it per repott of agent Rnffee to the State sta
tistician, 18,000 bushels of wheat, 3,281 of corn,

of onions 700 of beans, 2,000 puHlpkins,
500 bushels oC beets, 2,428 tons of hay and 450
melons. There was at the same time 213 head

ceived th idea of ho'ding a fair. The subject

had uned an idea of what such exhibitions
were, as conducttdbv white men, from being
attend ini 3 upon the great fair of the Min
nesota St ite Agricultural society at St. Panl
lastjcir. At first tho proposition met with
little or no tvor, tho Indians fearing that their
exhibit would be on such a small scale as to
ike thuiU'ie'ves subjects of ridicule. But Mr.
ituffeo continued to urge his idea and finally
it was decided to s*ive a tair. Then Mi. Charles
W. Metntyre, of this city, special agent of the
niteiior depaitmTit was interested in the

piemmms, and a programme arranged for a
two days' exhibition.
in turn set foi tho exhibition was Wednes-

of tho exhibits being made of grains, vege

ma\ well he considered when we state that the
wheat yield of the reservation was about twen
ty bushels to the acic and of oats sixty bush

etable displ iy was also very large and fair. The
featu tho display of domestic anulac
tates were tho rra 1 mats, which attracted much
attention tor the beauty of design and m
twette workmanship. Another deemed fea
ture was the o,)prition of sngar making from
amber cane. Bom3 twenty-five acres of cane
was grown this season, the stalks averaging
nearly or quito twelve feet in heighth, and
saved in excellent condition In short all the
exhibits were most creditable and superior in
many respects to th we made by many of the
county lain ot the State.

nttemt.on. Twenty Indians on each side took
pirt in this sport, and so evenly were the
Miles matched tnafc nightfall found the game
adiaw. In the evening there was a fine dis
play ot fireworks, the Bogardusfire balloon at
tmitm especial attention.
Thursday forenoon the awarding committees

uniloims, and presented a soldierly appear-
anoe. When the St. Paul party left on their
return home this force constituted themselves
their body guard to the reservation limit, eight
miles, performing the dnty after the regular
military manner.
The musio for the occasion was furnished by
the Great Western band of St. Paul, and never
did this favorite band do more to win the good
opinion of their auditors, nor succeed better.
In fact the inaugural fair of the agricultural
and industrial society of the White Earth In
dian agency was a grand suceess, reflecting the
highest credit upon the Indians of the reserva
tion, and their most competent, earnest and
enthusiastic agent, Mr. Charles A. Ruffee.
WASHINGTON.
Regulations for (he Exchange of Coin for
U. S. Notes-Petroleum Exportation
Miscellaneous,
COIN EXCHANGE.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.Tuesday it was stat
ed that on account of the large ocoumulation
of gold coin in the treasury, arrangements
were being made whereby gold and silver coin
might be exchanged for United States notes at
the several sub-treasuries. Since that an
nouncement it has been discovered that the ex
isting law prohibits the exchange of com for
legal tender notes at any sub-treasury other
than New York. The order, therefore, has been,
prepared so as to conform with the provisions
contained in the resumption act. The text of
the circular is as follows:
"Treasury Department, Washington.Gold
coin beyond the needs of the government hav
ing accumulated in the treasury of the United
States, by deposit in the several assay offices,
of fine bars and foreign coin, lor which depos
itors have been paid, at their option, in United
States notes, the treasurer of the United States
and the several assistant treasurers at Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincin
nati, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans and San
Francisco are hereby authorized to pay oat
gold com, as well as silver coin and
notes, upon the current obligations of
the government and upon allowances to
disbursing officers as may be convenient and
practicable. Transfers of coin for this our
poso will be made to any assistant treasurer
when necessary, by the treasurer of the United
States, by application to him. Tbe treasurer
of the United States, in this city, on receipt by
him of a certificate of deposit issued by the as
sistant treasurer at New York, stating there
has been deposited with him legal tender notes
in the sum of $100 or multiples thereof, will
also cause to be shipped from the mint at
Philadelphia to the depositor at his risk and
expense, alike amount of gold com. Stand
ard silver dollars may also be obtained as
heretofore. The exchange of gold coin for
United States notes at tho several sub-treasury
offices, except at New York, appears to be pro
hibited by section 3,651 of the revised statutes
of the United States, but it is believed that
the payments of coin, as above authorized, will
enable persons to secure all that may be de
sired. (Signed) JOHN SHERMAN,
Secretary of the Treasury.
Section o,651 revised statutes, provides that
no exchange of funds shall be made by an
disbursing officer or agent of the government
of any grade or denomination whatsoever or
connected wt ha branch of the public service,
other than exchange for gold, silver, United
States notes and national bank notes, and every
such disbursing officer when the means for his
disbursement are furnished to him in gold, sil
ver, United States notes or national bank notes,
shall make his payment in moneys so furnish
ed, or when they are furnished to him in draft
shall cause these drafts to be presented at their
place of payment and properly paid according
to law, aud shall make his payments in money
so received for his drafts furnished, unless in
either case he can exchange tbe moneys in his
hands for gold and Bilver at par, and it shall be
the duty of the head of the proper department
immediately to Buspend from duty any
disbursing officer or agent who violated the
provisions of the section and forthwith to re
port the name of the officer or agent to the
president with the fact of the violation and all
circumstances accompanying the same and
within the knowledge of the secretary, to the
end that such officer or agent may be piomptly
removed from office or respond to his trust and
the performance of his duties, as the President
may deem just and proper.

department has telegraphed to the
commandant of the arsenel at
Fort Union, New Mexico, to issue arms and
ammunition to Gov. Wallace, not to exceed
three hundred rifles and one million rounds of
cartridges.
COMPLIMENTING A OOBBKSPONDENT.
A complimentary dinner was tendered last
night by the Washington correspondents to
Geo. W. Adams, who recently terminated his
connection with the New York World after
twenty years of active service as its Washing

Transcript, was a correspondent when Mr.
Adams entered upon his duties here in 1859.
EXPJSCTAST SAN FRANCISCO.
General Business Paralyzed Waiting
Grant's ArrivalLarge Influx of Visitors
from the Interior.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19.The City of Tokio
has been expected hourly during the day, but
as yet nothing is heard from her. The weather
still remains very foggy. The feeling of ex
pectancy which has prevailed has had the effect
of almost paralyzing general business, and the
streets have been crowded with the throng of
idlers eager for the first intimation of the ar
rival of the steamer. There was a large influx
of visitors, official and unofficial, from the in
terior during the day, including a number of
military companies, municipal representatives
of the principle interior cities and various
organizations. Many additionals have been
made to the decorations, and the tont en
semble of the streets on the proposed line of
march is brilliant aud picturesque. There is
little doubt that the Tokio will arrive outside
during the night, as her average time of pas
sage is about np.
Chicago Provision Firms Forced to the
Wall.
CHICAGO, Sept. 19.The rapid advance in
provisions, which has boen going on tbe past
three days, has caused the suspeaston, to-day,
of Joseph Jones 6u8ona. one of the oldest
firms on 'change and of Campbell & Johnson.
They were chiefly interested in lard and short
ribband as the decreasing stock of these proviB
sions have alarmed the shorts, there was a
Btrong pressure to buy during the greater por
tion of the day, and a consequent sharp ad
vance. Tbe grain markets have also been
strong, and, although outside priors weie not
maintained to the close there was no visible
weakness among holders, and the comparative
smallness of receipts of grain has a tendency
to still further enhance values. Active busi
ness is confidently expected during the fall
and winter.

Concluding Ceremonies of the Accidental-**
Visit to DetroitGeneral Hand-Shake
With the Wolverine Sisters, Cousins and
Aunts.
DETROIT, Sept. 19.The reception to Presi
dent Hayes by the members of the Merchants'
and Manufacturers' exchange, at Whitney's
Opera house this morning, was numerously at
tended. The President, accompanied by Gen.
Sherman, ex-Gov. Baldwin and others, reached
the Opera house promptly at the time appoint
ed, and was heartily welcomed in a few brief
and well chosen remarks by Gov. Bayley, in
behalf of the business men of Detroit.
President Hayes, on rising, was greeted by
three hearty cheers by the vast assemblage.
He returned thanks for the hearty greeting,
and spoke of the bad weather yesterday, end
ing in the sunshine whioh has made the occa
sion more enjoyable by the contrast. He drew
a comparison with tbe business situation. He
said that he did not come to discuss mooted
questions, but if he spoke at all
he must speak his convictions,
and, fortunately, in this country those
who did not agree with the views respeotf ally
expressed, at least received them hospitably
and treated them with consideration. The
volume of the foreign trade of the United
States was stecdily growing, and its products,
agricultural and industrial, were rapidly mak
ing their way in all the markets of the world.
This fact should prove that whatever .i ay be
thought of the mooted points of the single and
double standard and the power of the govern
ment over the currency, it was of the utmost
importance to the commercial interests of the
United States, that the currency of its com
merce should be tho currenoy acknowledged
and accepted as the money of the world. I Ap-
Jent
lause long continued, amid whioh the Presi
took his seat.]
Gen. Sherman was then called for and spoke
ten minutes in his humorous way, describing
himself as a consumer, touching upon reminis
cences of Detroit, complimenting tbe solidity
of its growth and the stable character of its
business.
At the conclusion of Gen. Sherman's remarks
the President and party were conducted to the
carriages in waiting and driven i to the State
fair grounds, whf re they arrived about noon,
and alighted at once proceeded to make com
pleted tour of the exposition hall on foot, the
President walking arm in a with Hon. Phil.
Parsons, Senator Chandler with Mrs. Hayes,
and Gen. Sherman with Gov. Baldwin,
ex minister of the Hague, Chas. H.
Graham, with Mrs. Baldwin
and Senator Ferry with ex-Gov. Bayley. After
a thorough inspection of the exhibits, the ex
position and art balls and the agricultural
buildings, the party re-entered carriages and
drove around tbe grounds, viewing live stock,
etc. At 1 o'clock they were escorted to the
office of President Webber of tbe State agricul
tural society, where the party partook of a ci
tation, after which tbe party left about 2
o'clock for a drive in Recreation Park and re
turned. Everything was informal There
were no speeches, but President Hayes, in his
progress through the different halls and build
ings and along the route white making the
tour
freely and good naturedly shook hands
with the people.
EVENING BECEPTION.
DETROIT, Sept. 19.The reception given by
President and Mrs. Hayes at the spacious and
elegant residence of ex-Gov. Baldwin, on Fort
street west, to-night, was one
of the most notable in the social
history of Detroit. From 8:30 until
after 11 r.3i the citizens,and many from interior
cities and towns of the State called in great
numbers to pay their respects. Tbe mansion
was brilliantly illuminated, and presented a
most animated appearance in the lawn
on the west side of the mansion,
where the band of Fort Wayne garrison
discoursed melodious attains of musio, were
suspended scores of Chinese lanterns. The
streets and foot walks for squares were lined
with carriages and people until the reception
terminated. Tbe Presidential party leave the
city at 8:30 to-morrow morning by the Canada
Southern railway for Fremont, Ohio.
THE GRAINT BOOM.
Formally Inaugurated by the Colorado
RepublicansCarl Schorr. Used to Give
the Movement a Send off.
DENVER, Sept. 19.The Republican State
convention for the nomination of a candidate
for judge of the supreme court, assembled at
Denver this afternoon, every county in the
State represented. Great interest has been felt
because of the avowed candidacy of Thomas
W. Bowen, now judge, who issued the injunc
tion against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
a few weeks ago and ordered that company to
turn back to the Bio Grande company. The
Utter road, which had been leased by the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and was then be
ing run by the latter. When the Bio Grande
obtained possession under Bowen's order he
then put it in the hands of a receiver. The
United States court shortly afterwards nndid
all this. Bowen has since made every effort
for the nomination by the convention to-day,
and came in with a strong following from his
section. J. M. North, of Boulder, was made
chairman. After an immaterial squabble on
the report of the comrrittee on credentials
Congresaman Bel ford offered a resolution
which was carried with great enthusiasm and
cheering, that on Gea. Grant's return, should
he decide to beoome a candidate for the Presi
dency, Colorado will pledge Mm her votes.
The balloting gave Bowen the highest number
at first, but on the second formal ballot Judge
Wm. E. Beck was nominated, which was made
unanimous. Beck is now judge of the district
court of the first judicial distriot and is very
popular. Judge wen made a speech to the
convention. A committee was appointed to
wait on Carl Scharz at the depot on his arrival
from the West to-night and invite him to ad
dress the convention. Recess at 6 p. M.
DENVER, Col., Sept. 19.Secretary Schurz
arrived here from the northern Indian agencies
to-night, and mad" a brief speech before the
Republican convention elogistic of the Repub
lican party. Jay Gould and party arrived to
day and went to the Alvord house, where Ed
ward Everett Hale and Walt Whitman also are.
The platform adopted by tbe convention calls
for the unlimited coinage of silver.
SCHCHZ ASSISTING THE BOOM.
DENVER, Col., Sept. 19.The convention
reassembled at 8 o'clock. Ex-Gov. John L.
Louth was elected chairman of the State con
vention by acclamation. Senator Teller made
a speech, predicting another victory. His
reference to Grant's return was greeted with
enthusiastic applause. The arrival of Carl
Schurz on the platform was the signal for
great cheering. He said he had been among
the Indian agencies, camped out the last ten
days away from all communication with the
world, and on his return to ,'ivihzation his
heart was rejoiced by the news
of the glorious Republican victory
in Maine. He gave a glowing eulogy of the
Republican party, and briefly reciting its his
tory, said no other party in this nation had
achieved such great results for human liberty
throughout the world. From what he heard
he believed the Republican party in Colorado
was about to enter the fall campaign under
brieht auspices, and the result would be anx
iously watched for in October because of its
effect in the coming Presidential contest. He
bad made a short campaign in Ohio and he felt
confident that State would give a Republican
victory.

The archery tournament attracted a large
number of spectators, and was watched with
interest. Tbe ladies added a new feat,ire of
interest to the arohery trial, and their shooting
elicited many compliments. The practioe by
Mrs. Benson and Mrs. Adams was especially
fine, and for the little practice, all the ladies
did well. The prizes for the ladies were, first,
an elegant silver vase seoond, fancy quiver
hird, an autograph copy of Thompson's
Witchery of Archery.
Gentlemen's prizes: First, one-third dozen
Drize arrows second, fancy quiver third, arm
guard.
After the tournament Harrv Mao indulged
in some of his marvelous rifle practice. A
large crowd gathered around him, and his feats
were hair-breadth and thrilling. It is safe to
say that in many of his shots he has no equal
living.
THE RACES.
Of these the first called was the special pole
raoe, mile heats, three in five, for a purse of
$50, divided into four prizes, $30, $15, $10 and
$5. The entries and the start were as follows:
Bogus, Darkey, McBride andr Lady Bonnell.
This was not a very fast raoe, but it was rare
sport nevertheless and kept the multitude full
of good humor. They were all country horses,
and, like new cheese, will improve with age,
if they have good luck. The score stands as
follows: Bogus 2 1 1 1
Bonnell 1 4 4 3
Darkey 3 2 2 2
McBride 4 3 3 4
Time, 3:20, 3:17, 3:15,3:04.
Thesecond rao*, the 2:45 class, three in five,
for a purse of 9100 $59 to the first, $30 to the
second, and $20 to tbe third. They were sent
off in the following order: Lauram, Prioress,
May Queen, Walker, Telegraph, with
Almont on the outside. The judges were the
same as yesterday, Cook, Brown and Spicer.
In this race the horses appeared to be driven
for all thev were worth, and it was said to have
been the prettiest race ever seen on this track.
Almont and Prioress are certainly good horses,
bnt they all trotted well. The day has been
propitious throughout, and the horses appeared
to imbibe tbe spirit of tbe occasion, and so did
their prettiest. At any rate the race was so
hotly contested it will not be concluded until
to-morrow. Four heats were trotted, at the
end of which time it became too late to make
another, so a postponement was ordered until 2
o'clock to-morrow afternoon. In making
the fourth heat it was very close be
tween Almont nd Prioress, with Walker and
May Queen right tight after them. Telegraph
and Lauram were distanced in the third heat,
thus leaving the race to four going nags. In
that heat the half-mile was trotted in 1:18%.
The score now stands:
Almont 5 3 1 1
Prioress 1 4 2 2
Walker 2 2 3 3
May Queen 3 1 4 4
Telegraph 4 5 dis.
Lauram 6 6 dis.
Time, 2:45, 2:40^, 2.40^, 2:40, 2:41.
This has been a glorious day for the associa
tion. The weather oould not have been better,
and every one appeared to enjoy the occasion
for all there was it. Over 2,000 tickets were
sold, besides the family and season tickets, so
it is safe to put the assemblage at 3,000 peo
ple for the day.
PROGRAMME TO-DAY.
To-morrow will conclude the enterprise for
the year, with a very interesting programme
of races, shooting, grand cavalcade and other
interesting entertainments chipped in to make
it bully. The officers of the association have
been untiring in their efforts to make it a
grand success, and- they have succeeded most
admirably. All parties appeared to be well
pleased with the management, and too much
praise cannot be given President, Wil
lis Baker, the vice president, M. A.
Baldwin, Oliver Gibbs Jr., the secretary,
and J. M. Underwood, the treasurer for their
enterprise and zeal in striving BO earnestly to
makeit interesting and pleasant for all in at
tendance. The people in town, too, have been
very obliging in accommodating the multi
tude.
The leading hotel, the Merchants, formerly
the Lyon house, has undergone important re
pairs and has been renovated with paint and
calcimine throughout. It has recently received
a new landlord, Col. G. P. Shears, a gentleman
of loner experience in the business, and under
his keen supervision this well known house is
coming to the front and takjng its
place among the best hotels of the State. Its
appointments are a great improvement on
what they were a year ago and the work of im
provement is yet going on. Lake City is
brightening up on every aide and her beauti
ful surroundings are admired by all who come
within their scope.
The writer should not forget to state that the
prizes distributed to the winners at the arch
ery tournament were presented by the Rev P.
B. Fisk, one of the archers, accompanying each
presentation with an appropriate little speech,
thus rendering the affair doubly pleasant.

QUARANTINE RULES LEGAL.
The following is the opinion of State Attor
ney General Benj J. Lea, as telegraphed to
day to Dr. J. B. Plunket, president of the
State board of health, at Nashville:' Knoxville,
Tenn., Sept. 19.Dr. J. D. Plunket, president
of the State board of health, Nashville, Tenn:
In reply to your letter, yesterday, asking my
opinion, by telegraph, whether the State board
of health has legal authority to enact such a
rule as No. 6, which reads: "No lint or seed
cotton will be allowed to enter Memphis." "It
is my opinion that the ard of health has
the power to enact such /ules and regulations
as will prevent the spread of the disease, even
to the prevention of all travel and interruption
of all commeice if the spread of the disease
cannot be otherwise arrested. The primary
object of the law is to prevent the spread of
disease. If this can be done by restriction of
travel and commerce, the board shall so act.
If it cannot be thus prevented, then, in order
to arrest it, they may stop all travel and com
munication with infected districts except such
as may be necessary to afford relief to the in
fected district. The board bad the right to en
act rule number six, if in their judgment it
was necessary, to prevent the spread of dis
ease.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
Execution of Louis Guetig at Indlanapo
lisThe Day's Reeord of Misdeeds and
Mishaps.
EXECUTION OF A SOULLESS VILLAIN.
INDIANAPOLB, Sept. 19.The execution of
Louis Guetig took place at noon. He mur
dered Mary MoGlew just one year ago to-day,
because she refused to renew -a marriage en
gagement with him whioh 6ho had previously
broken off on aocouut of his habits of dissipa
tion. He had two trials, and was sentenced to
death both times. He has seemingly been in
different to bis fate. Not till last night would
he consent to the ministrations of the clergy.
At 11:50, in mounting the scaffold and during
all the proceeding he maintained a truly won
derful exhibition of nerve. He spoke a few
words,' asking forgiveness of any he had
wronged, and announced himself ready to suf
fer the penalty of the law without complaint
he then turned and walked about the scaffold,
shaking hands and saying "good bye" to ac
quaintances, while he nodded and smiled to
those he oould not reach. Again turning, he
took his place on the trap, apparently with
less feeling than those who were looking at
him. As the bells were striking 12 the drop
fell, and in sixteen minutes be was dead. He
was not yet 20 years old.

ANOTHER TICKET.
Hon. C. F. Maedonald Suggests a List to
Sin ish the Ring With.
[St. Cloud T-mes.J
The Faribault Democrat has placed a State
ticket at the head of its columns, subject to
the decision of the convention, which, while
being a very good one, is open to objection,
from the fact that the candidates for gov
ernor (E. M. Wilnon) and railroad commission
er (W. T. Bonniwell) are members of the pres
ent legislature, and probably ineligible. We
should avoid such contingencies.
However, as nominations are in order, we
present the following ticket:
Governor, J. F. Meagher, of Blue Earth.
Lieut Governor, W. McNalr, of Hennepin.
Secretary of Htate, A. Blerman, of Olmsted.
Treasurer, Albert Scheffer, of Ramsey.
Attoraev General, W O WilUston, of Goodhue.
ltailroad Commissioner, E P. Baruum, of Stearns.
Every one of these names would prove a
tower of strength. This ticket represents four
nationalities, and combines elements of success
which should not be overlooked. Southern
Minnesota has long claimed the governor
ship, and hence we place in nomina
tion therefor one of her strongest and
most popular citizens. For Lieutenant Gov
ernor, we name a gentleman who is competent
for, and worthy of any place within the gift of
the people of the State. For obvious
reasons we have placed him second,
although well fitted for first position, fie may
not be inclined to accept, but, as we observe
elsewhere, no Democrat should, in the present
emergency, decline to perform any service
which the good of the party may require him
to discharge.
The other gentlemen named, are well known
and popular citizens, every one of whom is
well fitted for the position to which we have
nominated them. Mr. Barnum is well known
in Northern Minnesota and would add ma
terially to the strength of the ticket.

THE OABUL DISASTER.
LONDON, Sept. 19.Lord Harlington in
another speeoh at New Castle, this evening, de
clared there was not the slightest sign of the
impending dissolution of parliament. He
made the usual party attack on the govern
ment. Referring to the Cabal disaster he said
he would rather be forever excluded from of
fice than that this disaster shouH have oc
curred. He poophesied that there would be
great trouble in Afghanistan.
GETEWA70 CAPTURED.
LONDON, Sept. 19. A dispatch from Cape
Town says Sir Garnet Wolseley hopes that
Chief Scocen will^rield without fighting, but
those on the spot say this is doubtful, as it is
known that the chief has lately, only with dif
ficulty, been persuaded, after five hours' coun
cil, from murdering two officers sent to treat
with him concerning prisoners. Details of the
capture of King Oetewayo show that while the
king was being watched on one side by Lord
Gifford and some scouts, Major Morten, with a
detaohment of the first dragoons, approaohed
him from the other. Lord Gifford, whose
presence was made known to the king,
intended to defer the attaok until
nightfall, so as to prevent the king
from escaping in the dense bush, but Oetewayo
had caught a glimpse of the wagons and
thought that in consequence of the bad con
dition of the ground they could not approaoh
quietly. Major Morton, however, direoied the
removal of all noisy "coutrements aud sent the
native contingent ahead. These surrounded
the kraal where the king had taken refuge, and
Major Morten then rode np and called to Oete
way to come out of the hut. The king, after
some parley, oomplied. He presented a dig
nified demeanor and asked to be shot.
A correspondent at Cape Town telegraphs
that Oetewayo had twenty-three followers when
he was captured.
ECONOMY RECOMMENDED.
LONDON, Sept. 10.Lord Derby, speaking at
South Port, recommended public and private
economy for a time, as trade must infallibly
revive, seeing that Eagland was not like con
tinental powers, wholly occupied with orna
ments. The furtherence of the emigration
scheme, he said, was more likely than the
strikes, to be useful in lessening tbe evils of
bad trade.
THE AMEER AND THE MUTINY.
LONDON, Sept. 18.The viceroy of India
telegraphs as follows: ''I have notified the
ttmeer of Afghanistan that a 6trong British
foroe will march speedily Oabul to bis relief,
and that he must use all his reaonrces to co
operate and facilitate the maroh through his
country
The ameer replied as follows: "To the vice
roy's notification I have already written to say
that for the past eight days I have preserved
myself and family by the aid of those who
re iriendly to me, and also oartly by bribes
and partly by deceiving the rebels. Certain
persons ot high position in the provinoes have
become rebellious. I am watching every quar
ter cai ef ully. I trust to God for the oppor
tunity of showing my sincere friendship for
the British government and of securing my
good name before the world."
ALS tCE-LORRAINE.
STRASBURG, Sept. 19.Upon the entry into
this city of the emperor of Germany, many
shops were closed and multitudes of houses
closed their shutters. Only official buildings
were profusely decorated. The German speak
ing inhabitants formed the balk of the crowd
on the street, though the French speaking ele
ment in Strasburg is still very strong French
newspapers have become more ontspoken con
cerning Alsace-Lorraine. The inhabitants
have bpcorae much more estranged from Ger
many than they were two years ago when the
emperor visited Strasburg, and met with a
comparatively cordial reception.
RIOTINQ STRIKERS.
LONDON, Sept. 19.There was a disturbance
at Ashton last night, growing out of demon
strations by strikers against operatives who
had returned to work. The demeanor of the
crowd at one time was threatening, and the
mayor, who attempted to appease the malcon
tents, had to be escorted by the police.
The board ef arbitration in the great dispute
in the north of England and Cleveland coal
trade, decided that the wages of some special
classes of operatives shall be reduced 12^ per
cent, instead of 15, as claimed by the masters.
The present rate of wages will bs maintained
for the bulk of operatives.
THE BALANCE OF TRADE
LONDON, Sept. 19.It is reported that eagle
bars to the value of 103,000 will be shipped
to the United States on Saturday., It is esti
mated that the maximum amount of gold re
quired to reduce the balance of trade for the
present and prospective imports of grains and
cottons will not probably exceed 600,000.
