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

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.

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.
Two or three ladies and a like number of
gentlemen who are experts in canvassing
and who desire work of that kin ! and who
can furnish reliable reference as to their
j inability and reliability to attend carefully
old honorably to work entrusted to them
can perhaps find some thing of interest to
hem by calling at this office.
