Vol. xix. Astoria, Oregon, Tuesday Morning, August 14, 1883 No. 115. TKB .PSESSIDEHTIAIi PARTY. Camp Rollins, "W. T., August 9. After the Indian dance yester day at our camp near Fort Washa kie, Captain Hayes, commanding troop G., Fifth Cavalry, gave the president &n exhibition drill, the command being given by trumpet, Just after this about 250 mounted Indians Shoshones and Arapa hoes gave a sham battle, with manoeuvers executed by them in actual -warfare. Their horseman ship was superb, nearly every one of them riding bareback. Sena tor Yest, a member of the senate committee, had an interview with Washakie of the Shoshones, and Blackcoat of the Arapahoes. The senator's inquiries were directed principally as to whether the Indians would accept a tenure in severalty instead of a tenure in common, as now held by them. He urged them to take these lands, one hundred and sixty acres to each head of a family, and eighty acres to each un married Indian. All the chiefs seemed against the tenure in severalty. They were very anx ious to have permission to trade with the post-trader at the fort, which is the only store allowed on the reservation except the Indian trading store, stating they could only receive $7 for a buffalo robe at their agency store, whereas at the military store they were offered $8 for each one. At seven o'clock this morning the president and party broke camp and started on horseback, crossing Little Wind river near Fort Washakie, then passing a rough and broken country, with no water, a distance of nine miles, stopping for a short time on the top of the divide. From this point the party passed over a very rocky, country, climbing and descending alterdately high and stony hills, until camp was reached, which is situated on Bull Lake, a fork of the Wind river, and distant from the camp this morning twenty-one miles. Immediately after our ar rival in camp, which is on a beau tiful trout stream, the president took his rod and soon caught the first trout, keeping up his old reputation of beinjr a fine fisherman. He enjoys camp life very much, and is up and out of his tent at five o'clock each morning, the first one; and with a flannel shirt and a large hat, en joys it with the rest. Senator Rollins having distinguished him self in horsemanship on his march of twenty-one miles, in compli ment to him General Sheridan named our first camp "Rollins." The commissioner of the general land office in the case of the appli cation of Pettigrew and Brown of Dakota for a return to the supreme court of scrip used in payment of locations on entries which had been canceled, on the ground that the pre-emptors' affidavits were false and fraudulent, has rendered a decision in which he holds that the scrip used in payment for land is money within the meaning of the law, and therefore legal ten der. The commissioner says: "It was the price of the land. It would seem that whenever a given thing is by law made receivable in payment for lands, at a stated price, the consideration is equiva lent to money within the meaning of the statutes, and that if the en try is fraudulent the consideration is forfeited." A meeting in favor of state aid emigration was held in Lon don last Friday. Earl "Shaftes bury presided. A resolution was offered providing for sending 200,000 persons to Canada and other British colonies and for pro curing them farms in their new homes, the money for the pur chase of land to be advanced by the state, which is to take mort gages on the farms as security for payment. The resolution was supported by the archbishop of Cantebury and was adopted. It is proposed to send 2,000 families to Canada next spring. -Alfriand to the. rich aud poor. A jaidkhie, that, strengthens and heals, ia Brown's Iron Bitters. A Colonization Scheme. Private advices from Washing' ton report the formation there of a powerful secret organization of leading negroes, having for its ob ject the colonization of negroes in South Carolina and elsewhere. Many members of the organization, it is said, hold lucrative govern ment offices, and Fred Douglass is understood to favor the scheme. Meetings are constantly being held in Washington to advance the movement, but with such secrecy as to not attract public attention. It is proposed to keep the matter quiet until a definite plan of ac tion has been determined upon, and a desirable place of settle ment fixed. The whole scheme will then be suddenly made pub lic and fully discussed at a mass meeting of the race in Washington and elsewhere. This organization is of especial concern to South Carolina, as it is claimed the ne groes there already vastly outnum ber the whites. It would be ea sier to colonize them there and crowd the whites than to remove them to the far west. Tt is pro posed to select all that territory lying between the Edisto aud the Savannah rivers, and extending from the sea to Aiken count', buy up the lands and encourage the negroes to immigrate there from all parts of the country. I Lis rep resented that much lauded prop erty in that part ol the state is al ready owned by negroes, and that the soil and climate are well adapted to the occupations and in terests of the race. The eastern part of Indian Territory and a por tion of Texas, bounded on the south by tributaries of the Red river, are also suggested as a suit able place for colonizing negroes. Some four settlements are on the Yazoo river in Mississippi, but the South Carolina project is said to be the most popular. Nothing is known there of the reported scheme. There has been much discontent among the negroes in that state for the past four years, and several colonies have gone to Kansas, but there has been no movement of colored people to South Carolina. Senator Cullum. in a recent Chicago interview, says he con siders President Arthur's trip to the west very sensible. Tt is mak ing him better acquainted with the Indian question than any of his predecessors was, which, to gether with his course during the administration, will give him a strong following for the renomina- tion, if he desires it. lie also con- j siders Logan increasing in popu larity. Said a correspondent: j "Why do 'ou ignore Blaine?1' do not know that he will come be fore the convention. I am, in fact, inclined to think he will not. 3f he does, however, he will com mand a hearty support, for he steadily maintains his popularity! with the people." A special from General Wright, chief of the engineer corps of the army, says that notwithstanding the fact that there was no appro priation for rivers and harbors last year, some of the money on hand is still unexpended. York has been delayed in many sections on ac. count of the unusual high water which prevailed until late in the season. General "Wright says that he will take the estimates of the engineers for next year and prob ably reduce them one-third, aud that Secretary Lincoln will prob ably make it half, as he is a strict economist. A Paris correspondent to the Loudon Post understands that the attention of the United States minister has been called to the fact that America is furnishing China with arms and ammunition, which, it is believod, are destined for Tonquin. Hie correspondent adds that the American legation has refused to answer the ques tions in regard to the subject. The small pox is making terri ble work among the Indians in Alaska. In two small towns eighty-five deaths were reported. A case-hardened criminal named Page was hanged at Placerville, Cal., last Friday. He cursed the executioners because their nerv ousness made them awkward, and when he asked for a drink and was offered water he refused it contemptuously and demanded whisky. He may have been a tough citizen, but for one thing he may be commended. He was no Irypocrite, but preserved his true character to the end. The ques tion arises whether this is not pre- ferablo to the maudlin professions of conversion which are usually heart! on the jrallows. Three hundred workmen at tempted to hold a demonstration before the office of the director of police in Vienna last Friday, be cause of the seizure of a work men's newspaper. The mob was dispersed by a large body of po lice with drawn swords. Many arrests were made and order finally restored. Tho mob subse quently gathered again and was charged and dispersed by dra goons, who were pelted by stones. A large force of infantry and cav alry patroled the streets until a late hour. A Mormon in high standing is reported as saying since the elec tion, that the teachers of that session in the various wards, have received instructions to urge po lj'ganvy, without restraint, upon the brethren, as the leaders con sider that there is nothing: specially binding on them in the Edmunds law, -and, besides, they expect it to oe pronounced un constitutional. The human eye has the capacity to distinguish eleven hundred colors, most of which can be found in the face of a man who finds that he has entered a crowded ball-room with his suspenders dangling. 3 Absolutely Pure.
