Indianopolis, July 14. Heat intense, 99; quite a number of prostrations, two fafsl, and many re ported from all over the state. Cincinnati!, July 14.

New York, July 14 The Sun, noticing the recent cable announcement of the in tended .marriage of Lord Collin to Miss Ger trude Blood, says : The lady here referred to is the daughter of Mrs. victoria Wood hull. Blood was formeriy of this city, and at one time editor of Woodhull & Clafiin's Weekly. He is well known for his- advo cacy of women's rights and as a candidate for President of the United States in 1872. Mrs. Woodhull Blood was, we believe, di vorced from CoL Blood. Wash., July 15. Dr. Bliss said this mor ning that the president is improving right aloKg. If it were not that some unforseen and unexpected accident might arise, I would say officially and possitively that the president is out of danger. Dr. Barnes said: The president is practically out of danger. He gets stronger and better every day. Everything is progressing very nicely. 7 P. m. In the afternoon the fever has been slighter than on any day since the 3d; pulse 95, temperature 100, respiration 20, Returns to the agricultural department to July 15th show improvements in cotton since June, lne average condition is 95 against 100 same time last year. Albany, July 15. Conklintt eqpresses the opinion that the New York legislature will elect Miller and Lgpham, He appears in different and expects to remain in New York to-day. N. Y. July 15. The Poet says of the fund being raised for Mrs Garfield: It is clear that the president's recovery will make his relation to the fund a very peculiar and delicate one, and in many accounts it is for his interest and that of the public that this should be frankly discussed by the press in advance. One or two subscribers have made their subscriptions conditioned upon his death. If he recovers it will of course be very diffi cult to distinguish between a gift to the president and a gift to his wife. The plan of putting money in trust does not remove this dificulty. Among subscribers are men interested in promotion of legislation for 1rivate enterprises of all sorts. This legis ation must come before the president for approval or disapproval, and it is of atmost importance not merely that be should be subjected to no private bias in favor of promotions of such enterprises, but that he should not be open to any suspicion jf such bias. The sympathy with him in his pres ent condition should not blind as to the. fact that his acts hereafter' will be criticised with all the fierceness and ingenuity that party spirit can supply, and that the accep tance of money to his wife from men who are knocking every year at the , doors of congress for favors will be a handle for bis enemies which they will not neglect to use. . N. Y., July 15. It is reported at police head qparters this afternoon from the Grand Central depot that three men, appearing to be pedlers, had stolen $10,000 in bills at the depot and! escaped. The men were in a li censed vendors wagon. Chicago, July 15. A freight train of for ty-three care and two engines broke in two four and a half miles out from Hudson, Wis. yesterday. The cars ran unchecked down a steep grade at a speed of 60 miles an hour. They crossed a bridge and struck another freight train at a depot, killing' engineer G. T. Rider; loss 250,000. Bradford. Pa. July 15. Fire broke out at 2 o'clock Friday morning and burned ten business houses and was aommun.cated to the Niccollet hotel, filled with guests. Little Rock. July 15. Sort was brought by the Southern Express Co. to restrain the Iron Mountain Railway frost charging complainants a higher rate on express matter than its tsatgos on similar matter received front or delivered to itself or the Pacific Express Co.; also front dts- crimiuating against plaintiff in favor of jtself or any other express company or person in the matter of rates, indgs W. JleCrary, of the V. S. Circuit Court, before Sobs tie oata was tried. Tendered the decision, of which the fol lowing is a synopsis : Vint a railroad com pany is quasi public property and bound by law regulating the powers and duties of com mon carriers. Second, it is the duty of such company as a public servant to receive and carry goods for all persons alike without inju riously discriminating as to rates or terms. Third, business expressage has grown into a public necessity. If it be said that this doe trine is giving to express companies privileges not afforded to other shippers, the answer is the nature of express business makes special facilities for its transaction necessary, and the case, therefore is properly exceptional. If a railroad company under their charter can and does engage in the express business at all, it must be so upon terms of perfect equality with all other express companies, and the court will see that it does not take to itself any privileges it does not extend to complainant. Hartford, July IS. It is probable that the promising educational scheme which too Chi nese government has been trying in this coun try for the past ten years will come to an ead. It is believed that Chin Lan Pin and Tung Wing, the Chinese ambassadors to this conn try, have been superseded by a new minister, who is instructed to put a stop to the educa tional project and have those connected with it, students, instructors and attendants, sent back to China. The headquarters of the com mission has always been in this city. There are at least 1000 yonng men in this country, about M0 being in various colleges, while the others are in preparatory schools. They are hoys picked from good families, have displayed great aptitude for study, and are favorites everywhere. It was organised by Tung Wing, who is a Tale graduate and one of the most progressive Chinese statesmen of the age. He has resided in this country for the psst ten years, and with the sanction of bis govern ment adopted American dress and married an American wife, an intelligent ladr of Avon, in this State. For several years he has been as sociated with Chin Lan Pin in charge of the embassy to this country. It is reported that both of these gentlemen are preparing to return to China,, aad that the first boys to be returned will be those of the recently formed school of telegraphy. Washington, July loth. .The President is constantly progressing toward convalescence ; slept well last night, and this morning ex presses himself as feeling quite easy. - 7 P. m. The President has passed a better day than any since he was shot. Afternoon fever itill less than yesterday. July 17th, 8:30 p. k. The President con tinues to improve. Passed an excellent night and has had a good appetite to-day. Drs. Bliss, Barnes, Woodward and Bey bum testify to his condition as very favorable. Chicago, July 16. At a meeting of the rest dent members of the Army of the Cumberland, which was held last night at Gen. Sheridan's residence, resolutions were adopted heartily congratulating Garfield on his devoted wife and hit country on the present happy prospect of his speedy recovery, and extending to him the heartfelt sympathy and tbe tender and cordial regard of his old comrades in arms. New York, July 17. The Garfield fund has been increased to $147,475. New York, July IS. T. D. Howe, emissary to tbe Monetary Conference, has returned. He reports that hi mission was not quite so favor able to the U. S. Government as was hoped U would be, but did not think the result of the conference would effectually compromise good results. The only obstacles to a universal standard were presented bv Great Britain. She was not prepared to accept bi-metailism for herself and still less prepared to see the rest of the world reject it. Rochester, July 16. J. M. Schaeberle, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, claims to have discov ered another comet. Omaha, July 16. The weather has been ex tremely hot for the past week. To-day is the hottest of the season ; thermometer 97 degrees in the shade. Pittsburg, Pa., July 16. An unusual activity is prevailing in all branches of manufactured iron business for this season. Many firms that annually close down for a few weeks to repair machinery are and will continue to run right along night and day. St. Paul, Minn., July 16. The town of.New Vim, situated on tbe Minnesota river, about 65 miles from St. Paul, and containing about 3,500 people, was wrecked by a cyclone yes terday afternoon. Tbe scene was appalling. The town was a mass of ruins. The wires were destroyed and particulars are very mea gre. It is almost impossible to get a correct statement of the damage done. Baltimore, July 17. Four eases of loekjsw from wounds received from toy pistols occurred to-day in this city. Three proved fatal and the fourth not expected to recover. This makes seventeen eases of lockjaw in this city since the 4th of Jury. Hartford, Conn., July 16. The abolition of the Chinese educational mission and recall or students 4a this country has been under con sideration by the present government of China for many mon the. The young men who have come here only for the purpose of learning our language is order to have free advantage of our schools, have gone so much further in their advances in all directions that it has attracted the serious attention of ' home rulers. The whole tendency of the government has been to liberalise-the students, which the home author ities do'npt want, as they see in It grave possi ble complications in the future. A large amount ot money has been expended since the work began in 1878, and at the present time the expense to the Chinese government in tak ing care of students atone, saying nothing of contingent expenses, is ever $1 00,806 par year. Columbus, July 16. About 100 eases of sun stroke have occurred within the past week. Several serions to-day, none fatal. Weather Columbus. Juty3.

Under the sundry civil appropriation bill, the Secretary of the Treasury appointed James Law, of Ithaca, N. Y., James H. Saunders of Cuicago, and B. F. Thayer of West Newton, Mass., to be known as tbe "Treasury Cattle Commission." Their duty will be to investigate all cases of disease known aa pleuro pneumonia in meat cattle whioh shall be reported to it, and such other duties as may be required of them by the Sec retary, in order that cattle skipped from points in the United States may be known and certi fied to be free from disease.

Railroad running from the head of San Pablo bay to Clpren daleis 90 miles in length. Its projected route extends northward through Mendo cino and Humboldt counties to Eureka on the coast. It is probable that a practicable route might be found down the Klamath river from the Oregon line to strike this route along the coas t. The Salt Lake Tribune says: Four voung men, prospectors, were rewarded by the discovery of a valuable mine Hear Hailey, Idaho. One of the young men had a lady friend, and it was decided to name the mine after her, and to fix the title that in case of their death it should be hers. Last win ter the whole party was hurried beneath a snowslide, and now the young lady is plan ning what good she will do with the $65,000 that has been offered her for the mine. Captain Wfllard, of the whaler Thomas Pope, arrived at San Francisco last week and reports that thereof ne ; doubt the Vigi lant and Mount Woljbsiton ore lost bat while they were at Cape North, on the Asi atic side, some natives came aboard and ia-i formed them that last; Ifoyembor they bad discovered a shis partly under the ice and !fnll of warer, drifting around at the mercy of the wind and wave, and on going aboard they found her deck strewn with whalebone and three dead bodies, while in the cabin were the remains of others who had per ished. A bag of American silver coin was also found, together with a bomb-gun, a portion of a box of bomb lances- and a bro ken spy. glass, which the natives brought ashore with them. They also spoke of the dying jib-boom being ornamented with a pair of deer antlers, which proves concln .ivelv the fate of the Vigilant, as she was the only vessel in tha whole fleet which was- ornamented with antlers. To the west oi the Vigilant about 80 wiles drifted another watar-loraed vessel, whieh was beyond l-doubt the i&fated Mount WsJleBten. This vessel the natives also visited, and the same sad scene of death "and desolation greeted them. They Hurriedly departed for land, intending to visit both, ships again the fol lowing day, but a wind sprung up and drift ed the vessels far oft shore and out of sight. The Mount Walleston and Vigilant belonged to tite whaling fleet of 1879. Corvallis. Gazette. RATES Of ADVEBTIsisE STACK. a Airaw 2 Tnch . . , S Inch r.

As I had never been at Siietz, 1 had formed an unfavorable opinion of the way the bnsinestfof the agency was carried on. We arrived at Siietz on the 28th of J nne, and as Mr. Swan was going away on business, I only talked with him a few minutes, but his conversa tion proved to me that he was a gen tleman and a man of great lability, and when I saw how the bushiest, of the Agency was carried on I be came convinced that the head of the Indian Department could not do bet ter than keep Mr. Swan as agent. 1 had a conversation with route oi the pupils of the school, who talk very good English. I was informed by Mr. Swan's clerk that it is considered a disgrace among the Indian children to converse in their native language. I don't think there is fl school in tito State of Oregon that is conducted on a better system than the one at Si Ltz, and Mr. Swan is entitled to great praise for the manner in which it i carried on. The farming lands are in good cul tivation, and farm and gardens look well.. The Indians live in good com fortable houses. I had a conversation with one Indian, named Gen. Lane, ;;; who runs the ferry on Silete rive He seemed delighted to show nit over his farm, where there was a good crop ot wheat and oats, and a garden sufficient Jpstrpply any fam ily. He owned a wagon and team of horses. I told him we had j"t de livered some beeves for the Indians, and I supposed Mr, ;Swan would give him a cow. He n p'ie l that cows were only given to the poo- men, whife he was rich and had a cow of his own. His honse, which was a very good box structure, he said he had bnilt with his own hands. He attends to the ferry, and make no distinction between white and red men who require his services, charg ing the same for both. As Mr. Swan had not returned we started for the Bay City, Newport, arriving there on the 29th of Jane, At Newport I had a lone talk with Hon. R. A. Bensell, who informed me the prospects was good for the work to commence on the coast rail road, and that the work would be pushed on as fast aa possible. South kach. SCENE IN THE SAKCTttM.
