WASHINGTON NEWS.
For the Admission of Tacoma.
Washington, April 25. 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.

The Gazette Publishing House has been

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.
