Washington, Oct. 28. The Secretary of the Interior has ailirmed the recent decision of the Commissioner of the General Land Ollice, in the ease of Lewis k Hall against the townsite of Seattle, Washington Territory. The ease was brought before the Secretary 1 on an appeal. The question at issue ! was what land is subject to "rortcrhcld Scrip" location and what is the mean ing of the t erm "appropriated1' as used in governing the statute. Secretary Kirkwood in continuing the decision ofj the Commissioner holds that "Porter Held scrip" may be located upon offered or iinollered land within the limits of any incorporated town, and that no mere de facto appropriation can de feat or preclude the location of the same; also that the scrip in question may be properly located. TDK Sl'EAKERSIIir. Now that the Cabinet appointments have been settled for the present at least, the.Speakership of the next J louse looms up as the most important event of the near future. The candidates that have been mentioned are numerous, but Hiseoek, of New Yorku KieiVr, of Ohio, and Kasson, of Iowa, seem i o be the most prominent, with Burrows, of Michigan, Dunnell, of Minnesota, Reed, of Maine, and others, as probable, dark horses. For a time, Mr. Hiseoek was believed to have more positive strength than either of the others, but. it is sug gested that recent political events and promotions, may, and probably will, effect his prospects injuriously. " New York now has two Cabinet officers, Fol ger and James, and those who arc com petitors of Hiseoek for the Speakership make the point that to give it to the Umpire Slate would be unfair to other States. That it would be giving New York decidedly the lion's share of oilici al honor and "patronage. The Western members of tne House and Western politicians are insisting with more earn estness than heretofore, that the Speaker should be a Western man. They maintain that this would, to a considerable extent, equalize the honors between the sections who are appeal ing to Eastern men to view the matter in this light. This appeal is not with out effect, and, it is said, that Hiseoek himself appreciates the disadvantage he is laboring under by the recent ad vancement of several New York men. Of the Western candidates it is claimed that Mr. Kasson leads the race, but General Kiefer, is said to have consid erable support. GENERAL BENNETT' S REMARKS. (Jeneral Bennett, Chief of Ordnance. U. S. A. states that last year $10,:ji0.!);i was expended and recommends in creased appropriations for arming and equipping militia and says the well be ing and efficiency of the army require the peremptory retirement of officers at the age of sixty-two. EX TOUTS AND IM TOUTS. The excess of exports of merchandise for the twelve months ending Septem ber JOth were $2, 402,700.15. 'The ex ccss'of imports of gold coin and bullion for the same time was $775,210. 03. Sheldon's indian views. The Governor of New Mexico writes that he sees no immediate prospect for permanent peace with the Indians and thinks the raids are due to the fact that these Indians can't readily lind sub sistence in the barren provinces of So nora and Chihuahua.- ' STRUGGLE OVER STRATIIAM. In the executive session the Senators had a spirited debate pver Stratham. Logan and Vorhees disputed with each other which had been the better friend of the soldier.

Xfw York I'olitie. New York, Oct. 2. The Rochester Democrat is pointing out that there are eleven districts now represented in the State by Republicans on which the Democrats will make a vigorous assault in order to reverse ti e majority in the upper house of the Legislature. The Times remarks that they include the first, third, seventh, eighth, tenth and eleventh, all situated between the extremity of Long Island and Spuyten tuyfel Creek. Of these six arc doubt ful districts. - The Republicans have a reasonable certainty of carrying two of the live. The others are the twelfth, thirteenth, seventeenth, twenty-ninth and thirly-lirst, which are threatened bv the Democrats. Wre should regard all but the seventeenth, an Albany dis trict, as probably secure. 'ír Ymli's Water Famine. New York, Oct. 28. The water situa tion is unchanged except that this morning the city has about (00,000,000 gallons less than yesterday. In cases where water is wasted by householders, the supply will be turned off without warning, whether the waste occurs from carelessness or not. Arrange ments are made to open the Hood giUes promptly when an increase of water pressure is needed by the lire depart ment. No factory is yet closed from lack of water, but many barbers have shut up baths. One liquor saloon re quests its patrons to use water in mod eration. Many firms anticipating a to tal failure, anil are arranging fora sup ply from Brooklyn and Jersey City. A Hi earner nova Down on the Mis- sisslppi. Rock Island, Oct. 28. The clerk of the Jennie Gilchrist was injured and the owner was absent, so few -facts about the passengers could be obtained, it is known that Mrs. Trevor, Miss Sr.tlie Temple and John Temple of Rapid City, W. W. Wendt of Cordova, and James Sandford, a lirenian, have been drowned. A search has been proceeding all day iifcthe vicinity of the accident without any result.

Bellows Falls, Vt., Oct. 28. Ezra P. Cook and wife, an old couple, were found dead in their house this after noon. No evidence of violence was found upon the man. Upon the wo man's bead was a cuttliree inches long, but the skull was not fractured. Death was probablycaused by concussion of the brain. Mrs. Cook, H is intimated, was of unsound mind, and in the bedroom was found an undated letter saying she was crazy, and if at any time she should be found dead, she wished her son to be good to his father. The general theory is that the woman administered poison to herself and husband. lotild GovNii. New York, Oct. 28. The Gould party : i1 IITiUwI Vficfiirdn v fliof Kitrmrv ii'n.

The Times conies reluctantly to the support of Astor for Congress in the eleventh Congressional district because his Democratic oppo nent, Flower, is a Kelly man and also because the Republican' majority in the House of Representatives is a some what narrow one, and the interest de pendent upon its niaintainance should outweigh the desire to administer a les son to aspiring statesmen who prefer the dictates of party bosses totheAvishes of the people.

The decision of Secretary Windoni relative to the acceptance for redemp tion of the balance of the bonds em braced in the one hundred and fifth call upon their presentation at the Treasu ry Department", made public yesterday afternoon, seems to have become known by some persons very soon after the Secretary reached the conclusion that it would be the proper thing to do. It is understood that the persons who were advised of the Secretary's inten tions were in the broker buisness, and based their opperations upon the knowledge obtained, which gave them considerable advantage over other deal ers. It is certain that a few speculators in this city Averc apprised of the Secre tary's intentions previous to their be ing made public. When Mr. Windom's attention was called to. this, he express ed great astonishment, and until proofs Avere presented that the statements were correct, he could hardly believe it.
