TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES, Of the past week ijonae-ised- WASHINGTON SfEW The secretary of the interior and assistant Secretary Jeuks last Tuesday hearil tile ar gument in the case of the Northern Pacific Railroad company vs. Alilford & Miller, on appeal from the decision of the commission er of the land office. The matter at issue is of great iritL-rc.c to railroad managers, as it involves tae ri'ht of withdrawal, on the part of the government, of lands Tor iiulein nity purposes. Tue commissioner decided thai such with Irawls were illegal, and re voked th-i order withdrawing Lands inclnded in the indent ait y rant to the Northern Pa cific. Fr mi that decision the railroad ;om pany appealed to the secretary. Of the Indian question Gen. Sheridan says; "1 would recommend that each family le given and located on 320 acres now pro vided for them by law. Xu case of actual s ittleineut the government should then con demn all the balance 'of each reservation at $1.25 per acre, and with the proceeds pur chase government bonds, to be held in trust Uy the interior department, only giving to the Indians each year the interest on the bonds for their support. Let this money then he distributed the same as the money appropriated each year by congress. This, tlieu, wouid be more than is appropriated bv ITnajTrnn. and would take the question for the annual appropriations for Indians out nf congress." (ieu. Jjhend in adds: "I c iniiot a'ii-e with Gen. Miles in his ideas regarding iailiau territory, or Ins couiiileuce in the aU.icy of thelndiau to make himself elf -Supporting in so short a time. All our expei'ienei; aei etofore does n jt warrant such coutideuci-, ruul suck opinions should be re garded as iinlivi-lual rather than representa t ve of tin: army. The permanent control of the luoiaus is not desired by the army at large. The president is evidently disappointed i i his new civil service commissioners. The principal reason for changing the old board was that he believed he cotiid more readily impress upon the members his own ideas of iiiprovemout in the administration of the civil service law. The old board had prac tically created a system, and had become ac customed to a certain routine in the per formance of their duties, and were thus less liable to adapt themselves to any change; so it was decided to get new members, whose balance of power would he f the same po litical faith as the administration, ami who, t was thought, would readily become im bued with the president's views. The pres ident believes that there should be a broad er construction to the law than now obtains, and that other qualities, besides that of merely being able to answer correctly a ser ies of questions, should be taken into con sideration in the matter of selecting persons for appointment. Fitness for position, c. -pacity for handling meu, and technical knowledge of the dnties required, were as necessary in the Sterling cate as high rank in written examination, and hence all thr names of those who passed examination Were submitted to the collector. This should bj the course in ail cases, and certiricati.ni should not be confined to the four highest on the list. This is the president's idet and he has so publicly expressed himself, and yet the new commissioners have taken occasion to Hy that their action in the Sterl ing case, so far as relates to certifying the whole list, is not a precedent of what thev will do in the future, and hence the presi dent's disappointment over the fact that the members have failed to rasp his idea upon the subject of civil service leforrn. One of the first measures to be introduced in the house when Congress meets in Decem ber will be a resolution censuring th i Pot-master-General for his course in declining to pay American steamship companies money which congress voted to them as compensation for carrying foreign mails. xne resolution win, no doubt, lead to a thorough discussion of the meaning and in tent of the act. which appropriated $400, 0CO for carrying foreign mails in American steamships, and at the same time will give Vilas an opportunity to explain the reasons which induced him to set his own judge ment against the conclusions reached by congress. In the senate a similar resolu tion will be introduced, it is thought, by Senator Frye, to whoe efforts the passage f the appropriation was dne last winter. The prospects are that Vilas will have a lively time with congress. The statement is published in San Fran c isco tliat the Oregon Railway & Navigation company definitely refuses to become a par ty to the traffic agreement and combination I to maintain rates recently entered into be tween the Southern Pacific :;ud the Atchi son, Topeka & Santa Fe. It gives as its reason that an alliance of the character in dicated would materially injure its Northern and Union Pacific interests, and the induce ments offered are not sufficient to overcome this objection. It is estimated that C. 000 discharged Chi nese laborers from the Canadian Pacific Hall way are trying to get into the United States John EL Vrooman has written ' to Customs Inspcor, Hawes, detailing how a great I many Chinamen from Victoria went to Port Towusend, procured certificates, returned to Victoria, arid sailed for San Francisco. GSNS2.AL NSW3. The tone in the Eastern iron market is not quit e so sti ong; prices are firm for all kinds of good crude and refined iron, but slightly weaker on inferior juali:ies. A slight lull seems to have overtaken the de maud, and it has been promptly reflected in weaker prices on low grades. Naiis are ex tremely scarce and active. Sliest is in good detnan L The steel rail orders will foot up weli for the week, and bridge iron specifica tions received this week indicate a heavier demand luring November. A Washington special sayss State depart ment officials say they have no information relative to the expulsion of German-American citizens from Prussia, which is referred to in cable dispatches. Secretary Bayard say th it our minister at Berlin is instructed tu watch all such cases with great care, and in case there should be any violation of the treaty to advise our government au once by cable.

Severs! western members of congress have expressed a determination to advocati retaliatory legislation if some sort against countries which discriminate against or pro hihit the importation of American porK. A protest has been received by the clerk of the house from ci.iseus of ( ' diforoia; urging the removal of the congressional delegation from that state on ilie ground that they were not legally elected to represent th. districts fur which th -y were given certifi cates. In one case tlic protest declares Bas clay Henley, of the First district, is not a citizen of the United States. Tht great orchards in Illinois, are rapidly going to decay. Two years ago the exoort of apples from Champagne county alone ex ceeded 50,000 bushels, to say nothing of pears and cherries, which were sent off in large quantities. This year the apple crop is less than half enough for home consump tion, and they are being shipped in by the car-load from Southern Illinois. The past twowinters hive killed more than So per cent, of the apple trees, and from 80 to 90 per cent, ot the pear trees. Orcbardists say that if the present winter is as severe, then will not be a healthy tree left in that part of the State. Very few of the orchards will ever he replanted. The N. Y. Tribune's Washington special says: One of the first measures to be intro duced into the House when Congress meets in December will lie a resolution censuring Postmaster-General Vilas for declining to pap to American steamship companies the money Congress voted o3 a compensation for carrying foreign mails. The resolution will no doubt lead to a thorough discussion of the intent of the act to appropriate 460, ((00 for carrying foreign mails in American s'eamships, and at the same time give Vilas an opportunity to explain what induced him to put his own judgment against the concln si us of Congress. In the Senate a similar resolution will be introduced, it is thought, by Senator Frye, to w hose efforts the pass age of the appropriation was due last win ter. The prospects are, Vilas will have a lively time with Congress. Patani Railroad. A correspondent writing from Starbuck, Washington territory, says: Construction on the Pataiia branch road ha3 now fairiy commence 1, and the grading is now being pushed along very rapidly. Nearly two miles of it are completed from Starbuck and one mile tied and railed, while at differ ent points along the road for a distance ol six miles up thecreek other gangs are per forming similar work, and the white fcrce has been increased to more then double the number of last week. Contractor Hunt, late of the Oregon Pacific road, arrived here on last Saturday's train with part of his work animals and grading outfit; the re mainder arrived on Monday, including 125 animals and ninety white men. He has tak en a contract to grade five miles, and anoth er party, known as the Swede brothers, with twenty animals, have taken two miles. For subscriptions wc have waited patient ly through the dull part of the vear and now the time has come when delinquents shold pay up. When you read this dont think it means your neighbor, but if yon owe a quarter of a dollar take it bom , and then pay up. Prohibiting Prize Fighting. Following is a full text of the bill intro duced by Mr. Geer for the suppression of prize fighting. It passed the house last Tuesday unanimously, was sent to the seu ate, went to the third reading before that body under suspension of rules and would have been passed immediately but tor the caution of one of the senators, Haines. He stated that he believed it to be the desire of every one that such a law should be enacted as could be enforced to its fullest extent He would therefore move that the bill be referred to the committee on judiciary, which was accordingly done. Following is the bill: lie it enacted by the Legislative Assem bly of the State of Oregon: Section 1. That any person or persons arranging, or attempting tn arrange, or of fering to arrange, engaging or offering to engage in a prize fight, to be .fought within the limits of this state, or otherwise, in any manner, either as principal, second, assist ant, stake-holder, trainer, referee, aider, abettor, solicitor or agent, whether said fight shall take place or not, shall, upon conviction thereof, be imprisoned in the penitentiary not h;3s than one year nor more than five years, or by a fine of not less than one thousand dollars nor more than five thousand dollars. See. 2. It shall be the duty of every paace officer and justice of the peice to see that this -ict shall be enforced, and when any of said officers have reason to believe that this act s being violated, it shall be their duty to institute proceedings against any party suspected. It shall also be the duty of every circuit judge on charging any grand jury to read this act to said grand jury, and it shall be the duty of said grand jury diligent! to enquire aftor any viola tion of the provisions of this act. Sec. ". Inasmuch as there is no existing law against prize fighting, this act shall be in foice and take effect from and after its approval by the governor. Canvasssrj.
