Peter Stanup, the Puyallup chief, whose body was recently found in a ttrram nn the reservation, is supposed to have been murdered. An examina tion has revealed the fact that his' neck was dislocated, and that death was not due to drowning. The deceased had title to property worth 1,000,(WO.

Recorder Medley of Cottage Grove now sues for It is the nnriHMO of Secretary of the Interior Smith to place army officers in charge of every Indian agency, except those where the Indians are in an au vanccd state of civilization. Secretary Herbert has announced that thepolioy'of the Navy Department iu the future will be to relievo ollicers who have held fleet commands over three years and give other officers an oppor tunity. Prof, narrington, chief of the wenther bureau, has sent a letter to the Presi dent denouncing the report submitted by Assistant Attoruev-Ueneral Colby of the investigation of the charges against Harrington as willful and malicious falsification of the testimony taken in the case.

General Olneyhas received a telegram from New York, stating that Judge La eombe of the Circuit Court of New York has decided that Section 6 of the Geary exclusion act, though constitutional, is still ineffectual, because there is no pro vision as to how or by whom the order of deportation for Chinese should be ex ecuted. Tins ib said to lie a new inten tion not raised or in any way involved fci the previous appaal. President Cleveland has approved the deeds of the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations for their right and title to the "leased" landB in Indian Territory, for merlv occupied bv the CheyenneB and Arapahoe Indians, but now constituting a portion of the Oklahoma Territory, for which $1,901,450 waB appropriated by the Indian appropriation act of Mareh 3, 1801.

Major Davis, chief of the war records office, has just returned from Gettys burg, where bv direction of the Secretary of War he made an investigation of the effect upon the battle lines and points of interest by the construction of an electric railroad. Major Davis found that the damage to the battlelield had all been done, as the work of. excavation and filling was practically completed. About four miles of the railroad are laid with rails, and the remainder of the route is ready for fine grading. The greatest lnmrv has been milicted in one stretcn of about two miles of route, which runs in front of "Bloody Angle" and "Death Valley" and skirtB "Round Top." Major Davis' reports will be accom panied oy a cnart anu saetcnes, ana win be confined to a statement of the actual condition of affairs on the battlefield. It can scarcely go farther, in view of the fact that the government has no prop erty rights in the field. Owing to the small amount of gold bullion deposited, about $100,000 per month, and the heavy expense of coin age at the United States mint at Carson City, Nev., Secretary Carlisle has di rected a suspension of coinage operations at the mint from and after the 1st of June. Gold and silver bullion will, however, be received for parting anu refining. Gold deposits will be paid for in coin or fine bar, as preferred by the depositor. Returns for silver deposits will be made in unparted bars or in fine bars, as uesirea. rurcnasea oi suver bullion under the act of July 14, 1890, will be continued as heretofore. The suspension of coinage operations at this mint will involve a reduction in force by thirty-five employes. Reductions in the torce oi ine employes ai trie uimeu States mints at Philadelphia and New Orleans will probably follow. With a suspension of coinage at Carson City the coinage of silver dollars will be dis continued for the present, as there is no demand for this class of money. Frac tional uncurrent silver quarters and half dollars are now being recoined at New Orleans, San Francisco and Philadelphia mints and gold at the San Francisco and ruiiaucipiu uiiiiw.

The Del Norte Record, published at Crescent City, Cal., recently reprinted the story of the famous Indian massacre of settlers on the Klamath river from its files of thirty-eight years ago. A sub scriber to the Record living at Gold Beach. Or,, read the blood-curdling atory, but neglected to notice that it was an event tliat occurred almost forty years ago. Fancying that the massacre had but just taken place, and that there was danger of a general outbreak, he at once aroused the neighborhood. Notices were posted, a public meeting was called, and a company of volunteers organized to proceed at once to take the field against the bloodthirsty Indians, Communica tion with Crescent City was then had, and the volunteers immediately .dis banded. , ... the non-comnetitive plan of the com mission is growing. The American pro test is at present confined to the manufactures building, where 130 woolen exhibitors, besides other large Eastern manufacturers, obiect to the single ex pert system, modeled somewhat after the Centennial idea. The State Com missioners will probably be the last to file protests on behalf of the exhibitors whom they represent. They want more than one man to pass judgment on the merits of their exhibits and have a graded system of awards. It is not likelv that the National Commission, in the face of the Congressional act and the work of the Committee on Awards, will undertake to upset the plan adopted. There may be slight mollifications made, and some of the objectors may be brought into line after a fuller discus sion of tli merits of the American system Cincinnati dedicated last week.
