In his annual report the commissioner of Indian affair hui omothlug to nay about In dlau Ashing ou the Columbia. "Fruin time iminuiuorial," faya he, "the In diaui hare been aucuHtomud to fish in the Columbia river, but inch by iuoh they bare been forced back by the white from the boat fishing ground, and nut allowed to fish with the white in common aa provided in the treaty concluded June 0, 1855. They have boruo thii denial with patience, bat urged that they be restored to their an ceatral and treaty rights. Agent have twice been tout to investigate and ai certain the beat method of settling the mutter. Doth reported that it wai the duty of the government to protect the Indiana in their treuty right to their valuable llHlieriua, and reoomiueudL'd - that the attention of district attorueyi for Oregon and Washington be called to the matter in order tliut proceeding might be iuHtituted in the federal court looking to the protection of the Indiana, and with a view to eujoiuing encroaching purtiea from further inter forence with them." The oommlHMiouer any that aucb ao tion ha been taken and that the din trict attoruey of .Waahingtou ba al ready Uieu instructed to take measures to protect the Iiidiuna. Indian Agent Irwin, of the Yakima agency, who recently vlaited the tilth lug ground at Turn water and Wisham, ha aouicthing to any about tho cole bratod painted rock which ia included in the report of the commissioner, The commissioner, commenting on thlese rock, aaya: "They bear the face and figure in unfading color of a ruce of peoplo lung extinct. Though the India nil have no knowledge of the people who painted these rooks, it is evident that thia waa fishing ground before the confederated tribe of Yakima Indian existed, aud that the auoostori of theae tribe had been aecuHtomed to flab there lung be fore the white men appeared ou the Co lumbia river.' Aguut Irwin quote from Lewi aud Clarke' history which deauribe the painted rock prior to 1810. Commissioner Browning ay that it ia a ouroc of gratiilention that the Iu diaua belonging to the Upper aud Mid' die baud of Hpokane have finally lo rated upon their allotted lands aud left the city of Hpokane. There ha lung bueu trouble Hbout the Chehaleu Indiana aud the commis iouer ay that the department of jua tioo ha been iuatructed to iiiHtitute suit to put the Indiana in possession of the laud claimed by them aud al lotted to them, and to quiet the title. lie ay theae Indiana have long been harrussed altd annoyed by trespassers claiming to have ome aort of title to Die laud. Tho report of tho commissioner ahows that during the year, 641 patenta have been delivered to the bilota In diau in Oregon; 1,670 to the Nea Per ce in Idaho; and that 318 allot tuionts have been approved for the Kei I'ur oca; schedule of allottmcut to the number of 074 have been reocivod from the Warm Springs Indian, but have not been acted upon, fripooial Agent Wordeu i continuing the work on the Klamath reservation aud additional survey! have been recommended.

The city oouueil ha pussed au ordinance requiriug that the uleotriu wires in the business dis trict of tho city bo put underground, aud giving the companies ninety days in which to remove their poles from the streets. Tho electric companies say that tho expense of tho change would be so great that it would tie impossi ble for them to make it, and they are preparing to make a hard tight to tost the right of the oouueil to enforce au ordiuauoo which, the elutrlu oompauies claim, amount to continuation of prop erty. The fact that some of the com pauies are in the hands of receiver ap pointed by tho I'uitcd States courts add to the contest the feature of prob able contempt of court by the council if it attempt to have the wires of the companies changed, without first hav ing a petition granted by the federal court An luiurgeut Krfrat.

WHEELMEN OBJECT. tail road Official May Kcfuaa Ul Cbaek UlryeUs mm llaggaga. Sun Francisco, Oct 4. What the wheelmen of the coast have considered a one of their inalienable right dur ing the past fifteen year seems in dan ger of being taken from them, as the railroad ofllcial are considering the ad visability of charging for the trans portation of wheel, when accompanied by their owner. "I a bicycle baggage?" ia the ques tion which ba agitated the railroad authorities ever since cycling ba as sumed its present proportions. The wheelmen cannot understand why there should be any question in the matter, as every passenger travel ing on a first claaa ticket is entitled to curtain amount of baggage an amouut greatly iu excess of a bicycle, which at the present time seldom ex ceed twenty-live pound in weight "The railroad in the northern part of America decided some time since to charge for bicycle," aaidT.

"What are classed as the Southern road, which would include all iu thl state, have had tho questiuu in consideration aud I cannot say when It will be decided, perhaps in two weeks, aud again it might not be set tied for mouths." At the nicetinir of the associated clubs on Saturday evening the question will be discussed, and effort will probably bo made to effect an amicable settlement of the matter with the ran roads. CHINA AND JAPAN NEWS. I'rlsuiirra Takitn Warn Killed and Katn by Their tor. Sun Francisco, Oct 4. Two large villages, 1'ieu Chung aud Tang Cheng, distant seven mile I rum Ty tiami, in the Canton province, China, were re ceutly the seeues of allocking deed in cauuibalism and wanton destruction oi productive property. Tho Swatow correspondent of the China Mail ou August iiU forwarded tho details of the tight between the two communities, whicU was precipitated by a ruw over water rights. By uight attack the people uf Tang Cheng out the sea embankment aud let iu the sou water so a to destroy a large part of their enemies' rice, then almost ready for cutting. Reprisal followed, aud. thouirh the village are distant ouly tweuty miles from the two (lis trict cities, Ilao Hong aud Loik Hong, the fighting continued a mouth, iu volviug many villages aud causing i large number of deaths. T he worst feature, however, is this: Ity oue side three, and by the other four, nrisouers were taken alive. These men were killed aud eaten seven iu all. It was not iu this ease aa others, au eating of the heart ouly. Every eatable tiortiou waa oousumed, most oi it being irivou to the children of the village. Although not unprecedented iu that district, such au act ia uuusual, aud led to the appointment of a special deputy to inquire iuto the case. San Francisco. Oct 4. A a result of tho conferences recently held be tween the acting Japanese niiuister of foreign affairs and the newly arrived minister of Spain, a declaration has boon agreed upou, say the Japuu Mail, delluing the limits of the bound arte between the territories of Japan and Snain in the Western Pacific.

Among the bid for Uie construction of six uew gunboats opened at tho navy department yester day, tho lowest bid fur two single- screw vessels was by tlie Detroit Dry. dock Company, aud it was said there would bo a question as to awarding the contract to that firm, because of the treaty between tho United Suites aud Urcat Urltaiu, which provides that ships of war cannot bo built ou the (trout Lakes, although intended for service ou the sea. This questiou is already answered. If tho Detroit Dry dock Company secure the contract, as it undoubtedly will, because it bid- is the lowest, the two siiigle-screw gun boat will bo built at Seattle. There ha been a representative of the com pany iu this city for nearly a year, aud today he said that it was tho iuteutiou of tho company to build shipbuilding yard hero if this contract wore scoured, and this would be but Uio start of a big plaut For the first two boats the machinery will be made at the Detroit yard aud shipped to thia point, tho rest of the work being doue here. The De troit Drydock Company is a wealthy Michigan corporation. Its capital is 1,000,000, and it has no debts. Its preaideut is Hugh McMillau, brother of Senator MuMillau, aud these two gentlemen, together with Alexander A. McVittie aud Frauk E. Kirby, are the principal shareholders.

Cheney's Medlral Lecture Will Again ris;ura In tha Trial. San Francisco, Oct. 2. Sine the adjournment of tbe Durraut trial Fri day, the prisoner' attorney have visit ed tho Cooper medical college several times, aud have bad frequent inter view with student whom they will put ou the stand in hope of bracing up tbe alibi which the defense hope to es tablish. It 1 thought that several of the col lege boy will testify to having aeeu the accused between 1 and 2 o'clock the afternoon of April 3, but if any will give evidence of the fact that Dur raut was in tho college until 3:30 in the afternoon ho ia not known. Attor uey for the defense are building much on what E. A. Diggins will testify to. Diggins is a member of the sophomore class, but frequently attended the sen ior class lectures. There be met the defendant Tho latter claim that bo spoke to Digging during Cheney' lect ure, the afternoon that Blanche La wont disappeared, but Diggin'i mem ory ia rather bazy just at present Gilbert F. Urahaui has been sum moned us a witness both by the prose cution aud the defense. For the prose cution ho wilf (wear that Durraut, several day after hi arrest, asked for hi nuto book, which he wished to keep several days to compare with bis own. For the defense Graham will say he saw Durraut at tho college ou April 3 about 8 o'clock. Durraut in sists now it waa Graham who offered to loau bis note instead of being asked to give them. Graham deuiea thia aud declare it is absolutely without proof. K. II. Carter, oue of the students at the Cooper medical college, maybe one of the strongest witnesses for the de fense. He corroborates the story which Durraut tell of hi movement be tween 1 aud 2 o'clock ou the aftcmoou of April 3. Carter ha la-en Ruhpcnuod to testify fur tho defense. In speaking of hi knowledge of Durrant'a move ments ou April 3, ho said: "I believe I saw Durraut and F. II. Itoss together ou Webster street about 1 o'clock Wed ucsday, April 3." Carter will make oue of the strongest witnesses the defense will put ou the stand. While he can not swear posi tively a to the date be met Durraut, be is fairly certain that he i nut mis taken. Attorneys for the defense have hopes that Carter will be able to swear positively to tho date when he take the staud. Hi testimony would mean much to the man who ia being tried for hi life. When proceedings are opened to morrow morning, Charles T. Leuahuu will be called to the staud to tell of having taken a diamond ring somewhat resembling the one worn by Blanche Lumoiit, to Pawnbroker Oppuuheim At first, a great deal of importance was attached to this witness by the defense, but of lute his testimony has lost weight, as he did not visit tho store until April 13. Again, Leuahuu docs uot bear the slightest resemblance to Durraut, and it ia impossible that one could bo mistaken for the other. Their dress was dissimilar, aud in personal appearance they form a strong con trust, ou account of a difference iu size, build aud facial expression. District Attoruey Barnes aud Captain of Detective Lee are gettiug ready to put iu their rebuttal testimony, which they expect to make almost as strong a the direct They will have a lot of writing experts to combat any testi mony that might implicate Hov. J. (4. Gibson iu having written the address ou the newspaper iu which Miss La- mont's rings were sent to her auut, Mrs. Noble. Already calculations ure being made for Durraut' saftey should tho verdict of the jury be unsatisfactory to a por tiou of the community. It is believed unless ho is convicted an attempt at violence will be made. The sheriff bus made uew plans for keeping a mob at buy, aud is preparing au extra defeuse of the county jail. Now that tho Hov. J. George Gibson, pastor of Emanuel church, has virtual ly been accused by Attoruey Deuprey of committing the murders which have made his church notorious, ho ha seen tit to break the silence he has maintain ed ever since the discovery of tho crimes. Mr. Gibsou has allowed him self to be interviewed for publication, and the (list questiou asked was: What do you think of Mr. Deu prey' speech as an argument iu defeuse uf Mr. Durraut r "Well, it is a mystery to me bow suy muu of Mr. Deuprey'a age aud ex perience could deliver such a reckless talk, when he had iu his baud tho life or death of a fellow-being. Heading bctwecu the line it is easy to see that the speech waa not tho one ho intended to deliver. It resemble the aermou prepared Sunday morning, after the preacher discovered that for various reasons he could not use the one ho hud worked ou for weeks." "Why did you remain sileut o long?" Because, a a witness, I had uo right to talk, aud I waa willing to take my share of newspaper criticism. Do you think the situation is changed?" "Yes; I am viitually accused of the murder. My name is singled out from among all the witnesses aud uttered iu loud tone to the jury. Mr. Deuprey ha declared the tight ou. The issue now, according to him, is bctwecu V. H. T. Durraut aud myself, The speech give me the right to conclude that Mr. Durraut concurs iu the accusation, and through his attoruey accuse me of having some connect iou with the mur der of Blanche Lament The publie must have noticed that I never accused him of criuio." M. Gibson talked sarcastically about Deuprey, aud, asked what he would do if arrested, said, ironically, that be would send for Deuprey to defeud bini. "Were you surprised at this charge agaiust you?" "Not at alL Hi accusation i in harmony with all the action of th defense from the beginning. You urely think I am very simple if you uppose I bare bueu iu ignorance of the work going on iu the 'underground railway.' " "Do you think the defense will pirug some surprise on you?" "That i a good question, but I don't care to auawer it iu public. I think I can smell a rat a well a auy person. I hope the rut, fur his own sake, will choose the right moment to come out of the bole. When be appears the cat will not have a boll ou iu neck." "Your haud writing i going to figure in this case?" "So Mr. Deuprey suy. He know what he is talking about He is just as sui ) of my handwriting a he was of Dr. Cheney' testimony." "What is your opiuiou about the handling of the case?" "In those days, when analogy doea duty for logic, it i positively refresh ing to know that at least two lawyer think the people do uot see auy differ ence betweou a bluff aud a fact the 'ar working they are wonting "Don't you thiuk faithfully?" "Yes; they aro piling up exceptions, which are crushing the righteousness out of their case. Every technicality is a curse thrown iu the face of a tho friend they profess to defend. No wit ness ha done so much against W. II. T. Durraut a the actions of bis attor neys. ys. I would rather be hanged than ' f : I""" ' be aud Dickinson are employing. "What do you thiuk of Durraut?" "Whatever people' opinion are there are few who do uot think that he deserve a wealth of sympathy, because ho ia unfortunate enough in the hour of trouble to hnve a his best friend two men whose fame outshines their wis dom." What tho prosecution believe to be testimony of the most vital imjHirtuuce in the Druraut cuse ha at last been ob tained from a student at Cooper col lege. For months the porsecution aud do- j feuse have labored to find someone among the accused student's classmate , who oould give some definite informu- j tiou regarding tho lecture which Dr. j Cheney delivered April 3. It had been ; imixiHsible to find such a student. No j one knew definitely that Durraut was ; there. No one could tell anything (hut might indicate that he was uot there. At last comes a student who can shed light upou the subject Churles A. Dukes, the young man who sat next to Dnrruut in tho leeturo-room. will tuko the witness stand and swear that after being unable to tell whether it not Durraut was present at the lecture, tho accused student asked him as a favor to him to say thut ho was there and that ho remembered tho fact Dukea tells his story ouly with the greatest reluctance. Ho says ho drew the ouly inference that oould reasonably be drawn from the request which he oould uot grant For the sake of his classmate Dukes decided thut ho would uot speak. He say Durraut wanted him to remember the fatal day aud hi presence at the lecture without auy reference to tho truth or the facts. He added: "I could not grant hi favor, but I wished to remain silent, us I did uot want to hurt his cuo if I could not help it" CAROLINA"SSUFFRAGE.

All English veterinarian, writing to the Loudon Livestock Journal, snvs: "Prejudice dies hard, but the luroVst of all to die in the minds of ".rooms b that it is injurious to j;ive a lmrse a drink of cold water when he is heated from exercise. Years ago wheu I used to train horses for racing iu India, I grappled with this prejudice, and clung to it with such tenacity that I used constantly to havo horses 'off' their feed al ter a strong gallop, one. day I returned to the liiesshouse very hot aud tired alter a long run, and suddenly thought lit to mentally put myself iu tins place of n race horse. 'Shall I have,' I asked myself, 'a better appetite for breakfast if I refrain from iliiukiut till I have cooled off, or if I have I drink-light off? Know in;; that 1 conld not eat heartily unless i hail first ultll drink, 1 took it, aud thereupon felt u fit to eat, and went so strong, over course of liyefsteuk, ham and ewjuail, muflins, etc., that I resolved to try the sumo treatment on my hursts. Jly lead was attained with such sunv.j that nowadays nil the trainers in India give their race horses alxiut half bucket of cold water to drink inimedi iitcly after n gallop, and with the test results us regards the appetites Mid health. I have not alone never seen, but have never even heard er read of any harm to a horse from drinking cold water when he was hinted. I havo, however, seen huiidnds of cm of colic occur in horses from drinking water nfter being fed on occasions when they had, previous to eatiug, Urn deprived of water for some time. Were all grooms to follow my advice as to watering, I am afraid that mnuy an honest and hard working veterinary surgeon would find his income from colio cases seriously diminished."
