Piatt yesterday made a favorable report to the senate on the bill to admit a part of Washington and Idaho territoriaB, under the name of Tacoma. The report accompanying the bill states that the senate committee on territories were investigating the question and had concluded that this part of the country has a sufficient population to en title it to admission as a state, and believ ing that the admission of new states is for the best interest of the vHfcle countrj', the bill is recommended for passage. Appended to the report is a statement of the popula tion, resources and wealth of Washington, prepared by Delegate Brents. Washington, April 25. Senator Miller introduced a bill yesterday recommended to him and the whole California delegation by the chamber of commerce of "an Francisco, amending section 2971 of the revised statutes so as to provide the goods or mer chandise remaining in government stores or bonded warehouses beyond three years, on which duties have been paid, shall not be Bold but shall be kept by the United States so long as the duty is paid. The present law, under a recent decision of Attorney General Brewster, provides that all mer chandise so stored shall be considered aban doned at the end of three years, whether the duty had been paid or not. In the petition which accompanied the bill, and which Senator Miller had referred to the com mittee of finance, to whom the bill went, the chamber of commerce state that im mense losses are annually otl'ored by mer chants in consequence of the present con dition of the law, which, since the decision ot the attorney general, is being enforced all over the country, although for years it has been a dead a letter. Petitions from the chamber of commerce of San Francisco were presented to the senate by Miller, and in the house by Rose crans, to-day, asking congress to make an appropriation for the completion of the monitor Monadnock, now lying at the Mare Island navy yard, and describing the defenseless condition of San Francisco. Al so asking that suitable appropriations be made for the equipment and strengthening of the i'reoidio at the same city. The Swindling Pension Agent. Washington, April 29. Nearly 500 let ters are received daily from soldiers, in quiring into the status of claims which they have been induced to file, uuder pretense that they are entitled to additional bounty under alleged new laws. They are per suaded in this way to pay an advance fee of from $20 to 50, to attorneys to prosecute the claims. The claims are rejected, of course, and never heard of until they apply to the department. The attorneys pay no attention to the'eases after receiving the ad vance, as they know they are without merit. Soldiers are also induced to send their dis charge papers to these attorneys, who refuse to return them, in the hope that they may be of benefit to them in the event of legis lation in the future, similar to the terms to the proposed equalization of the bounty act. Nearly all bounties payable under the existing laws have already been paid. The second auditor suggests as one method of preventing these frauds that claimants who suppose they are entitled to additional bounty write directly to his office for infor mation on the subject. Orange Judd, Editor of. the American Agriculturist for some thirty years, but un connected with its business management for a year or two past, has lately retired from its editorial department and located in the West. He desires to gather a comple "Postal-Curd Album" of his old Readers and and Friends, and requests them all to send him now a Postal giving their present loca tion and addrees, naming also, when con venient, the years in which they were his subscribers. Mr. Judd's address is Chicago, Illinois. In the Interest of the Laboring Han. Washington, April 29. The presidential election being in progress, congress, within two weeks, has shown a disposition to leg islate in the alleged interest of the laboring men. Over a week ago the house passed Hopkins' bill to establish and maintain a bureau of statistics, and Senator Blair re ported the same bill from the senate com mittee on education and labor, giving notice that at an early day he wonld ask its con sideration. Senator George has reported favorably from the same committee the bill prohibiting the importation of foreign labor. This is called ' 'an act to protect American labor." George also gave notice that he wanted the senate to take it up very soon. Both these bills are in the line of restrictive legislation sanctioned by con giess in tne passage ot tne uninese Dill in 1882. The first named requires the com missioner, among other things, to collect statistics about the number, character, con dition and classification of Chinese laborers in the United States. Such statistics, as Sumner of California pointed out in a speech made week before last, would do much towards inducing the east to join with the Pacific coast in forever excluding Chinese. The bureau of statistics bill will probably become a law, but the chances of George's bill, under which coolies could be excluded are slim. Shipping Bills. Washington, April 29. Dingley of Maine, who is engaged in a genuine attempt to revive congressional interest in shipping and shipping laws, succeeded recently in suspending the rules and passing his bill es tablishing a bureau of navigation in the treasury department. This bill, which will probably encounter no opposition in the sen ate, marks the first step toward encouraging a new mercantile marine. Its object is to luplicate the British board of trade by con solidating the duties now performed by three divisions of the treasury into one person to be called commissioner of navigation. Upon this man, who is to be appointed by the president, will devolve the duty of sugges ting amendments to the present antiquated navigation laws and carrying on a general investigation in the disappearance of Amer ican ships from the seas. For a few years of course, the commissioner's labors will be theoretical, but afterwards, Mr. Diugley says, he may have important functions to perform. On Saturday the house supplemented this legislation by passing Dingley's bill to re move burdens from the merchant marine, and among other things adopted an amend ment by "Sunsut" Cox allowing the im portation of vessels of less than 6000 tons free of duty and admitting all such vessels not used in the coast wise trade to Ameri can registry. This provision, however, it is feared, will be struck out by the senate but the bill will surely pass. George of Oregon succeeded in amending it so as to allow ships loaded with coal, salt, railroad iron, etc., to unload within collection districts at a place designated by the secretary of the treasury. This is in the interest of commerce at Oakland, Cal. Portland Or. , and other Pacific coast cities where unloading is restricted to certain ex tent, The Pension Billi. Washington, April 29. Last week the house passed two pension bills, making im portant changes in the existing law. The general pension appropriation, which set apart 8,800,000 with which to pay pen sions during the ensuing fiscal year, con tained some of the important changes re ferred to. Besides reducing the number of pension agents to twelve, it cuts down the fees allowed pension attorneys to $10, ex cept where, by the stipulated approval of the commissioner of pensions, $25 may be allowed. An amendment by General Uose crans turning the payment of pensions over to the pay-master's department of the army was defeated. It was resisted ostensibly localise of inutility, but really because it would have provided work for idle1 army paymasters, and have cut off pension agents from employment. Although there are not two dozen pension agents in the United States, they were sufficiently influential to prevent the change. This bill will probably pass the senate without much amendment. Warner's bill, however, which passed the house under suspension of the rules, is not likely to go as smoothly through the upper body. It is called an ' 'omnibus" bill. It enacts, first, that every man who served three months or more in the army, and suff ered wound or disability, shall be pensioned according to the extent of his injury: also that the regular muster in shall be prima facie evidence that the volunteer was sound when he entered the service. This provis ion, coupled with the former, will practical ly pension all the soldiers of the rebellion not now on the rolls. , It is an immense bid for the soldier vote. Signal Service Observer in Danger. Chicago, April 28. Daily News' Col orado Springs special: Considerable anxiety is felt for the fate of Signal Service Observer Ramsey, who has been on Pike's Peak station seven weeks. George Beckhaus, his companion, reached here three weeks ago, more dead than alive, after twenty four hours. The snow drifts were from 200 to 300 feet deep. At that time pro visions were running low, consisting only of eight pounds of rice, 200 pounds of dried apples two cans of condensed milk, eighty pounds of flour, which was almost useless, as there was nothing to raise it with, and a couple of pounds of salt fish. Several in effectual attempts have been made to re lieve him, the depth of snow preventing parties from reaching him. Another trial will be made on Wednesday. REMOVAL. The Gazette Publishing House has been removed from the old stand into Fisher's brick, over Max Friendly's old stand. Parties having business with this office will note the change, and govern themselves accordingly. Remember that our facilits for executing the latest styles of job printing, issuing receipts, etc., are unsurpassed. EASTERN STATES. Telegraph Bates Being Cut. Nw York, April 27. The development of new telegraphic companies begins to show itself in the matter ot rates. The Western Union Company has announced a reduction in night rates to 15 cents for ten words, and 1 cent for each additional word, between all competitive points east of the Missouri river. Heretofore its night rates have been two-thirds of its day rates. The highest rate of the Western Union at the present time is Ql for ten words, between Portland, Maine, and San Francisco. The Bankers and Merchants' Telegraph Com pany made a uniform night rate of 15 cents a day or two ago. The Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company will meet these rates to-day or Monday. The Flurry in the Wheat Market New York, April 27, The Commercial Bulb-tin says: "Much excitement prevailed in grain circles yesterday. Transactions in wheat were on an enormous scale. Thu market is taking an unsatisfactory form; the presence of manipulation is everywhere apparent, and calculations for an ontward movement are disturbed. No failures have yet been officially announced, but five firms are openly reported to have failed to re spond to a call for margins, and to have been sold out under the rules; this after an advance of fifteen cents in less than a month. The talk at the close of business yesterday was very much mixed. Further violent changes seem to be expected, but in what direction the market will move nobody seems willing to venture predictions. Some of the conservative bulls were selling freely yesterday afternoon." New York, April 29. A reporter this afternoon saw prominent wheat dealers re garding the present excitement and un certainty in the market. A member of the firm at Max Held & Co., said: "This is purely a manipulated market. There is no telling how soon the excitement may sub side, but it is quieter to-day and a more sensitive tone prevails. The whole move ment, it is believed, originates in Charley Strauss, a Baltimore speculator, who jumped June wheat up ten cents a bushel. He is working hard for a corner in June wheat, but it remains to be seen whether he will succeed . The market has been depressed for a long time, and this sudden rise is cer tainly not due to natural causes. Buyers are now holding off, and the panicky feeling has in great measure subsided. " Another prominent dealer said: "The whole thing is attributable to speculation. The depression was unwarranted and this flurry is unwarranted and will not last. London firms whose wheat I hold, cabled me to-day: 'Do not buy wheat at any higher prices.' We think now a good time to sell, and believe wheat will reach the bottom figure before long. The general im pression is that on the opening of canal nav. igation supplies of wheat which have accu mulated in the west will flood the eastern markets and force prices to the lowest point." Being shown a statement from the Chi cago Tribune to the effect that India wheat has been shown to the trade in that city, he said: "I do not know of any in this market at present, but believe that the low prices which India wheat sells for causes it to be a powerful competitor with American." For the Ladies. Indian Troubles in the Southwest Albuquerque, April 27. News has reached here from Fort Wiugate that rumors which have been afloat for a few days past in regard to an uprising of Ute Indians at Mitchell's ranch on the Ute reservation have been confirmed. The Utes attacked the ranchmen of that section, and a des perate battle ensued, and the Indians were repulsed, with a loss of two killed and two wounded. No whites had been killed thus far, but several were wonnded. Captain Smith left Fort Wingate yesterday for the scene of the trouble, with cavalry. Troops from Fort Lewis, Colorado, are already there, but the situation is so desperate that Captain Smith was sent for reinforce ments. The reservation, the scene of the trouble, is located in the corners of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah, and news from there can not be readily obtained. Reports of another outbreak were received by the department to-day. The Navajos of the San Juan valley have nprisen, and fears are entertained for the safety of the settlers. Although perfectly reliable ad vices are so meager, and the situation not being thoroughly understood, the adjutant general has ordered Captain Hoyl of Fort Wingate to send a company of soldiers to the scene, and ascertain the extent of the trouble. Captain Hoyl will leave Fort Wingate to-morrow with a body of cavalry. The San Juan country is situated in the southwestern part of Colorado and the northwestern part of New Mexico. Cuba in the Market. New York. April 28. The Star pre tends to know that private negotiations have been going on the past week to sell Cuba to Mexico. The proposition came from Spain. Aftnr consulting his cabinet ministers, Diaz returned an answer that he would be satisfied to purchase Cuba on con dition that the Cubans should agree by a plebiscite, vote Mexican bonds to be given Spain in lieu of purchase money. Spain de mands that the United States become secur ity for Mexico's performance of the contract. "The story is in the main correct," said Cubera, editor of the El Separatists, ' 'and Foster, United States minister at Madrid, is now at Washington to see that the gov ernment will be satisfied with the arrange ment General Aldena, formerly agent for Cuba, went to Havana last Thursday, to have a conference with both the Cubans and the Spaniards on the subject, and get opin ions as to the probable success of a plan of subraitting the question of a plebiscite con vention, to be held here as soon as he and other Cuban genera's return, to which rep resentatives from the South American re- publics will be invited." Ms. Editor: Much has been written regarding proper and remunerative employ ment for women. Silk culture, poultry raising and several other themes have been thoroughly ventilated and the result has no doubt been very beneficial; but there are many ladies who have no opportunity to raise silk worms or follow any employment of that kind. To that class I wish to open what to me was entirely a new field. Some three months ago an uncle of mine from Albany, N. Y., was visiting at our house and we were talking of plated ware which he was engaged in manufacturing and to gratify my curiosity he made a plating machine and replated onr knives, forks, spoons and castor. Some of our neighbors saw what he had plated and wanted me to do some plating for them. I have since then worked 22 days and have cleared dur ing that time ?4. j4. At almost every house I got from $2 to $3 worth of plating to do and such work is most all profit. This work is as nice for ladies as it is for gentle men, as it is all in-door work and any one can do it. My brother although he worked two days longer than I did only made $91.50. I am getting up a collection of curiosities and to any of your readers that will send me a specimen I will send them full direc tions for making and using a plating ma chine like mine that will plate gold, silver and nickel. Send small pieces of stones, ores, shells, leaves, old coins, &e. Any kind of Geological specimens will do. What 1 want is to get as many different speci mens from as many different parts of the country as 1 can. Please address, Miss M. F. Cassey, Oberlin, Ohio. Squatter's Bights. The following excerpt from a decision re cently given by the Secretary of the inter ior in the case of an alleged trespass against one, John Baird in cutting and removing timber from unsurveyed lands in Washing ton Territory will prove of interest to those taking up government lands. It appears from the evidence that Baird who has a large family had squatted on the claim and commenced making improvements but at the same time began clearing off and selling the timber. The commissioner says "While Baird is a squatter, he is rightful ly on the land if he intends to make his home on it. and take it under the settlement laws when the land is surveyed, and he is allow ed to do so. If he has taken the land in good faith, he is the owner for all practical purposes, although the title may remain in the government. If it appears that he has cut more timber than he was compelled to cut, tr clear up the land, he is not liable either criminally or civilly for so doing, if all the time he has the honest purpose of ultimately completing his title under the laws of the United States. A jury satisfied of that fact would not, if properly instructed by the court, find him guilty of trespass. Whether he is or is not a trespassers does not depend on how many trees he cuts, but on the bona fide character of the 'settlement. Baird was justified in doing whatever was necessary to put in a crop, and he might cut and sell timber to aid hirudin so doing, or he might sell timber to support his fam ily while clearing his land and raising his crop, if daring all that time he had a bona fide settlement on the land; that is, if he in tended to remain on the land and make it his own, and was not making his settlement an excuse to cut off the timber, with the ul timate purpose of abandoning his claim. If he should sell all the timber, and do little or no clearing, it might reasonably be supposed that his occupation was not for the land, but to secure the timber, and it then might be, and doubtless would be, the duty of the agent to report the case to the department. But if the agent is satisfied that the cutting of the timber is not the primary object of going on to the land, he should not report the case, If a settler desires to make a home on the public land, he has the right to select a timber lot if he chouse; and if he does select a timber lot, he will not select a poor one if he is wise. The timber may be the real inducement for him to make the se lection of the land; but if he goes on the land with the intention of settlement under the laws, and carries out such intention by conforming to the provisions of the statutes, and complete his title he is not a trespasser He must have the time allowed to complete his titl.e unless from his methods the spec ial agent is satisfied he is not there bona fide, and then, as before stated, he must make his report to the department, and perhaps ultimately in the courts; and, when that is fonnd for him, there is the end of the ques tion. In this case there appears to have been no reason to doubt the good faith of Baird and he ought not to have been annoy ed by the agent aftei the agent became sat isfied of his good faith." Jf. W. Farmer and Dairyman. Be Sure and Bead This. Having sold an interest in the Gazette, its subscription list and printing office on the first of January, last, it becomes neces sary that all debts in which I own an inter est be paid. In order that all parties may know the amount of their bills we have been sending out statements of accounts to all former patrons and will continue to do so until all of these debts are paid. We hope therefore all persons will pay without a second invitation. If any one knowing themselves indebted, and through our over sight shall fail to receive a statement, we hope they will take warning from this notice and pay up at once. M. S. Woodcock. DIED.
