TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES. WASHINGTON EWS. GENERAL MEWS. AN APPEAL FOR THE INDIANS. Washington, July 5. Secretary Lamar has received a letter from General McCook, ex-governor of Colorado, relative to the power of the government to prevent illegal occupation of lands on an Indian territory. The writer asserts that the law declares that the secretary of the interior has full control of all Indian affairs, under the laws, subject to direction by the president; that certain contracts may be made by individuals with Indians relative to services in procuring the payments of claims, but no authority ex ists for making contracts of any other na ture, and if mad they are null and void; thatuo purchase, grant, lease or other con veyance of lands, or of any title or claim thereto, from any Indian nation or tribe of Indians, shall be of any validity in law or equity, unless the same shall be made by treaty or convention, entwred into pursuant to the constitution; that only the United States can m ike any contract with an In dian nation or tribe, whether by. purchase, leas or otherwise, and the United States can du so only by formal agreement; and that the president may employ the military to remove trespassers from the Indian lands. General McCook substantiates the above points ly citations from the revised stat utes, at-.d declares that the United States can iu Jce agreements respecting Indian lands only with the Indians themselves, and ut with third parties, and only with the Indiana by agreement ratified by con gress. Notwithstanding the positive prohibitions of the law against the leasing or conveyance of lands by Indian tribes, much of the land in Indian territory set apart for exclusive occupation. General McCook says, are in possession of white men, under leases from the Indians, who had no power to lease, and with the tacit recognition of the Ulte rior department (under a former administra tion!, which he believes had no power to ecogniz or assent to any such lease or pos sessions. The spirit of a long- and eloquent appeal with which the latter concludes is contained in the following Quotation: "Being as the leases unquestionably are, wholly unathor ized and illegal, as well as improvident, should there be an instant s hesitation in dispossessing them, and in the summary xerciae of all the Dower and authority of the government in dispossessing the hold' ers under them?" BAD NEWS FOR LAND GRANT ROADS. Washington, July 6. Commissioner Sparks, of the general land office, is to-day rerjorted to be arorkiuz out the details of land osder, which will, if promulgated, create a sensation among land grant rail road officers. It is nothing less than the overthrow of the indemnity land system, by the operation ot which it is charged that settlers have been largely injured, and rail roads correspondingly benefited. The nature of previous bureau rulings f which the commissioner proposes to modify or rescind, can be illustrated in the case of the Atcbinson, Topeka and Santo Fe rail road, which last year was compelled, upon anneal of the state of Kansas, to surrender rt over 8, 000,000 ocres of land that had been set aside for it as indemnity or shortage in the land area granted to that road. It is charged, for instance, that lands are unjust ly, withheld from settlement by allowing roads to file maps, and. then to seek other and more favorable routes . The land over which later maps are made may have a large number ot settlers thereon. Many of these are threatened with ousting, on one technic ality or other, and the roads claim indemnity for all losses by acceptance of settlement rights. The practice has been to grant in- rUmnitv without retard to sate guard or time. It is now proposed to make general in their aDDlicatiou the rules hud down in the Kansas case referred to. It is understood that the Northern Pacific is especially aimed at in the expected order. This route in Washington territory has sev eral times been changed and modified, and a laree number of settlers are interested in resisting the corporation's claim to indem nity. CHOLERA IN FRANCE. Washington, July 6. The United States consul at Merseilles has informed the depart meat of state that cholera has again appear ed in that city and in Toulon. A general exodus from Merseilles has begn n. He re norts that the apparent death rat is below mr - the average. GkKAT DAMAGE TO CROPS. Faola, Ks., July 5. Another heavy rain storm visited this vicinity last night, continuing all through to-day. It seems general throughout eastern Kansas and western Missouri. As this is the sixth 'day of almost continuous cold rains, the work of gathering the wheat crop is brought to a standstill. Wheat in sacks has been ruined and estimates place the loss in Kansas alone at 1,000,000 bushels, besides damage to grain yet in the fields-. Corn will probably sustain little injury, but is backward twenty days, as compared with the latest season for twenty years. The state board's last estimate of 10,000,000 bushels of wheat was based on illegal improvement in southeas tern Kansas, which was lexpected to par tially offset disasters in the great wheat belt of the center. This estimate took no ac count of the week's storm and immense damage to stacked wheat on the more fa vorable localities. Further west there is no wheat to be injured by storms or anything else. Fears are now entertained that pota toes will rot in the ground. Minor crops will suffer in like ratio. It is not drouth, but too much rain and cold that injures Kansas this year. A WATERSPOUT'S MAD PRANK. San Antonia, Tex., July 5 -This morn ing near Weldon, 130 miles west of here, a freight train was struck by a waterspout. The engineer saw the waterspout approach ing, bounding along like a rubber ball, tear ing up the earth and uprooting all vegeta tion in its way. He reversed the train, to avoid the waterspout, whose course was tor tuous, with the column inclined and with a rotary motion. Just before the spout reached the line of the road it changed its course and spun along paralel to the track with frightful velocity. When opposite the train the waterspout burst, deluging the engineer, ti reman ana Draaeman, wuu uu doned the train and climbed some trees, to avoid the wave of water, eight feet high and one hundred feet wide. The locomo tive and fourteen cars were raised bodil) and carried nearly 200 feet from the track. while the road had been completely obliter ated. No one was hurt. The extent ot tne damage is not yet ascertained. THE OHIO STRIKE. Cleveland, July 6. Twelve hundred striking iron workers marched into the city this morning and drew up at the general offices of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Com- Kvral meu suoke to officials of the pany. company in Polish and English, demanding a return to the old wages and semi-monthly Bay day. W. B. Chisholm, manager of the idle mills, said the wages decided on to be paid July 1 would be adhered to as long as business was in its present depressed conui tien, and that a settlement in full for wages every two weeks was not possible. Our managers at the works are instructed only to employ such men as are best fitted for r.h successful ooeration of the works. The last sentence was called out by a demand of the strikers that it thev returned to the works none of their leaders should be dis charged. THE INDIAN TROUBLES. Washington, July 6. General Schofield has forwarded to the war department a dis patch from Colonel Bradley, in which the latter says the Mescalero Apaches in the vi cinity of southeast New Mexico, are becom ing restless because their supplies are giving out. At present they have nothing nut Deer and abort rations. In communicating the above dispatch to Adjutant General Drum, Geneial Schofield said as there were as many Indian difficulties as the troops were able to handle, he thought if the Indian bureau would not furnish supplies to these people that the army had better feed them out of their stores and charee the amount to the Indian bureau. Secretary Lamar consented to this prop witiOH. and General hcuoneld was directed to issue rations from the mill tary stores at pests where trouble is threat ened. THE CHEYENNES. Wichita, July 6. The Eagle's dispatches from Fort Keno and Darlington, the seat of the apprehended trouble, say: Sixteen com panies are new upon the ground. Ihe Indians in speaking of the probability of their being disarmed by the government, say they will die before submitting to that, as it would be death in either event. There is little doubt but that white men have had a hand in working the Indians up to the present war like attitude. The Cheyennes were consid erably excited to-day over the quartering of some newly arrived troops in the vacated Arapahoe school building, and since the ac cidental Killing of an Indian at the lodge their medicine dances have been incessant. The special says such heathenish practices as are now going on daily have not been witnessed in many years, and old Indian fighters say a renewal of these war dances is inexplicable. So far as the presence ot six teen snmpanies is concerned, the Indians seem to care little, believing themselves able to whip a much larger force.

Those parties who have threatened to sur prise this office by bringing wood to pay their subscription to the Gazette will do so at once, or forever cease their threats, as it is desirous to get wood out and put in the shed before harvest, and because parties who so carelessly threaten to deliver wood after harvest are always prevented from filling their engagements by the early rains and their fall work. Another very important thing for those whe deliver wood is to 'cofhe to the office before unloading the same and learn where it should be unloaded, and after it is nicely corded, come again to the office and see tbat they are credited on the books for the value of the wood. There is a cor rect and proper way for persons to do busi ness those who deliver wood for subscript ion as well as any other person. A Friendly Warning- Know ye, you towns and cities south of us that there is now en-route to yon, a wealthv beet?ar-bilk on wheels. He is a miserable little deformed scoundrel, who works his way around the country on a wheeled chair, freight trains, etc., with a hand organ, and hangs around the princi pal coners of the city, grinding out his miserable, schreeching music, and begging alms. He was fired out of Portland by Chief-of-Police Parrish, and had it been learne I before he left that he was paying taxes on over 815,000 what would be con sidered a competency by the kind peo ple who pity and give to him he would have been forcibly egected from this city. He is not honorable nor deserving of alms and the good people from whom he begs should know his character. Statesman.

Reports from Bueua Vista say rust has appeared among the hops in that vicinity. The rust somewhat resembles that which appears in wheat fields, and is very pecu liar in its destructiveness. The vines first turn white, then wither and become black. This pest has been known to prevail among hop vines before. The damage so far is said to be large. William Schwartz, a German from Bray nard. Minn., bought 320 acres of land from Jacob Sanders last week; paid the cash for it. The farm is situated about ten miles southwest of Corvallis and is better known as the donation claim of Thomas Skipton. Morris Newton sold 160 acres of land situ ated en the road to Yaquina, to Thomas Shaw, an immigrant both sales were con summated through Wagoner & Buford. P10IUCC PRICE CURRENT.
