Washington, June 3.~Gen. A. K.
Lawton was here to-day, and called on
the President and the Attorney General.
The President expressed again in strong
terms his regret that Gen. Lawton did
not accept the Russian mission. Like re
grets were expressed by the Attorney
General. Every member ot the adminis
tration from the President throughout the
Cabinet wanted Gen. Lawton to accept
the Russian mission. They thought
that the opinion of the Attorney General
sottieit the legal question involved, and
that there was no good reason why Gen.
Lawton should not be appointed. They
recognized the fact that Gen. Lawton
would make an unusually successful
diplomatic representative.
Albert Lamar, of 31 aeon, and H. R.
Jackson, Jr., of Savannah, were registered
here to-day.
SEEING SNAKES AT WASHINGTON.
Prof. Baird and the Fish Commissioners
are worried at the ravages of black snakes
in the government tisb ponds, near the
city. The snakes are about two feet long,
and the young tish have no means of
escape or defense when their pursuersget
after them. An effort was made to-day to
shoot them with rifles, but with no
success. The snakes increase nearly as
rapidly as the tisb, and their numbers are
now so great that prompt measures must
be taken to save the contents of the
ponds. Prof. Baird leaves next week with
a number olhis assistants for Wood’s Hole,
off the New England coast, where he will
meet a party of college students who will
study w ith him for several weeks during
Pie summer. Before he goes he will set
in operation severe remedies for the snake
pest in the Washington lish ponds.

Philadelphia. June 3.—The Shacka
maxon bank, which closed its doors a few
days ago, to-day made an assignment for
the benelit of its creditors, Joseph O. Fer
guson and William H, Swire being the
assignees. William News, a depositor in
the bank, brought an equity suit to-day
praying the court to appoint a receiver.
The application will probably be heard
to-morrow.
WARD CHARGED WITH GRAND LARCENY.
New York. June 3.—The grand jury
yesterday found an indictment for grand
larceny against Ferdinand Ward. The
evidence on which it was found was that
submitted to Referee Cole to the effect
that Ward carried a bag full of securities
Lom the Vaults of tho Marine Batik prior
to its collapse. The indictment, when
first presented, was handed to the Re
corder of the Court of General Sessions,
who immediately directed the chief
clerk to issue a bench warrant on
which Ward should bo brought
before him forthwith. Soon after,
however, the District Attorney made a
motion that the ease be transferred to the
Oyer and Terminer Court, to which the
Recorder consented. The indictment
charges Ward with grand larceny in the
first degree in carrying aw'ay from the
Marine Bank a bag containing $1,500,000
worth of bonds and securities. A writ of
habeas corpus was obtained by the Dis
trict Attorney this afternoon from the
Court of Oyer and Terminer, requiring the
production of Ward in court to-morrow

The Killing: of the Texas Rangers At
tributed to a Misunderstanding.
Laredo, .Tune 3.—The killing of Lieut.
Seiker, Sergt. Reilly, and the wounding of
Private Ayten of the State Rangers by
Mexicans, now seems to have been the
result of a deplorable mistake on both
sides. For years the State Rangers on
this frontier have been under command
of Capt. Sheely, whose company was re
cently disbanded by the Governor
through lack of a sufl'i ;ient appropria
tion. Lieut. Seiker and his company
were only recently ordered to this
section and were unacquainted with the
people. The Mexicans ivho did the kill
ing wmre Upelanis Gonzales and a son,
aged 13. Gonzales has been noted as the
best guide and Indian trailer in this coun
try, and owns a large ranehe. lie and his
son were met by the Rangers, approached
and ordered to give up their arms.
Young Gonzales, not recognizing
their strange faces, opened fire, killing
Lieut. Seiker aud fatally wounding
Sergt. Reilly. Gonzales and his son then
tied, believing that they were being pur
sued by a band of robbers. On reaching
the ranch of Proneville Herrera, Deputy
Sheriff of Webb county, they claimed his
protection, and the fearful error was dis
covered for the first time. Gonzales in
sisled ou being carried to Laredo for trial
and not to Eagle Pass, wtiero- he is a
stranger and would be killed.
BACK FROM THE ISTHMUS.
Zsldivar and Holqula Among the Pas
senger- on the Steamer,
New York, June 3.—The steamer Aca
pulco, from Aspinwall to-day, brought
the First battalion of United States ma
rines, returning from special duty on the
Isthmus. Among her passengers was
Dr. Zahlivar, ex-President of San Salva
dor, and on her freight list was three
horses which belonged to President Bar
rios, of Guatemala, one of which he
rode in the battle In which he was
killed. It was rumored among the
passengers on the steamer that one of
the object of the mission of Senorllolquin,
the Colombian Minister of Finance, who
was a passenger, is to ascertain the sen
timents of the United States as to the ac
quisition of the Isthmus of Panama as a
neutral State, its separation from the
Colombian Union being a question now
much discussed in that country, which
sadly needs repairs to Its depleted
finances. The project is most heartily
advocated upon the isthmus itself, and is
now, it is said, finding favor at the capi
tal. Col. E spin a, also an official repre
sentative of Colombia, comes to purchase
arms.

Teller Scott—Sain. Jones Makes a Bit
ter Attack on the Leading; Social
Clubs of Atlauta—Cowing; Changes In
Federal Offices.
Atlanta, Ga., June 3.—-A telegram
from Gainesville announced to-day that a
man got off the south-bound train there
to-day and immediately bought a fine
horse and buggy, paying S3OO for it. He
started without delay toward Dahlonega.
Nobody in Gainesville knew him, and his
conduct aroused suspicion. A telegram
received here from a detective agency in
New York stated that Scott, the default
ing teller of the Manhattan Bank, was
probably on his way South by way of
Richmond. This telegram has aroused
the police and detectives of Atlanta, and
a hot pursuit will probably be made of the
mysterious stranger who left Gainesville
to-day.
SAM JONES’ ONSLAUGHTS.
Sam Jones preached to-night to over
5,000 people In the Tabernacle. He was
severe in his denunciation of the Capital
City Club and Nine O’clock German
Club of this city. The Capital City Club
he called a nest of enemies of God, and
the German club an institution where the
soul is improved by a process of hug
ging set to music and skipping around
with spider-legged dudes. He appealed
to the good people of Atlanta to break up
these institutions, and during his dis
course was greeted every few minutes
alternately with fervent amens and with
laughter at his humorous illustrations or
his local hits.
MOONSHINERS PLEAD GUILTY.
Fifteen moonshiners pleaded guilty in
the United States Circuit Court to-’day,
and nearly all of them were sentenced to
one month in jail and SIOO fine. In a few
aggravated eases sentence was suspended
and will be harsher. Recently there has
been a revival of illicit distilling all
through Northeast Georgia, and trouble is
apprehended in that quarter.
ATLANTA’S POSTMASTER.
The appointment of J. W. Renfroe,
former State Treasurer, to succeed Post
master Wilson at Atlanta, is also ex
pected to occur soon. Both Senators
agree on Mr. Renfroe. Mr. Wilson has
made an excellent Postmaster, but he
went as a delegate to the Chicago Con
vention, and it is thought that that will
cause his removal on the ground of
offensive partisanship.
BRYANT’S RESIGNATION.
Senator Colquitt, who is now in Wash
ington, has the resignation of Marshal
Bryant in his hands, ami it is thought
tluitJ. W. Nelms, the present keeper of
the penitentiary, will be appointed in
place of Mr. Bryant very soon, certainly
by June 15.
VISITORS TO DAHLONEGA.
Gov. McDaniel to-day appointed the
following as a board of visitors to the
North Georgia Agricultural College, a
branch of the State University, at Dah
lonega: W. J. Northern, of Hancock
county; J. L. Lawton, of Fulton county;

CASHMERE’S EARTHQUAKE.
The Results Not us Disastrous as at
First Reported.
London, Junes.—The official report of
the earthquake in the Vale of Cashmere
shows that it was not as disastrous In its
results as the earlier reports made it ap
pear. The first shock experienced at
Serinagur was felt at 3 o’clock on the
morning of Sunday, May 31. Shocks
continued at intervals until Monday
morning. While the shocks in the begin
ning were not very violent, they wore suf
ficiently so to arouse the inhabitants, who
tied trom their dwellings, aud when these
fell later they were in the main tenant
less. In consequence the loss ol life is
now believed to lie comparatively small,
although several houses were destroyed.
The British residence remains iutset. As
a matter of precaution, ho vever, the
records and furniture were removed to
ttie open country and deposited in tents,
wherein the officials secured temporary
refuge.
The British resident at Hennagur tele
graphs that no Europeans were killed by
the earthquake.

l’ottsville Railroad above Hamburg, who
struck yesterday for an Increase front $ I
to $125 per day," resumed work to-day at

manufacturers when the factories resume
in the fall.
RUINED BY THE HESSIAN FLY.
The Kansas Wheat Fields Being Plowed
Up and Millet Put lu.
Topeka, Kan., June 3.—There is now
no doulit tint that the Hessian (ly Is doing
as much damage, if not more than did tbe
cold weather last winter, ami the surplus
wheat of Kansas will dwindle down to
small proportions. The fields that four
weeks ago promised one-half to three
fourths of a crop are ruined, and will he
turned over and millet put in.
The fly is not confined to any
one section, and if observable more
in one place than another that
place is within the great wheat district,
where there is more wheat for the insect
to thrive on. Before tbe ravages of tin
insect became so widespread, some con
ception ol the wheat crop could be formed.
Now no one can form any estimate, ami
all guesses are wild ones. In the great
wheat valley ot Kansas—Gypsum, in Sa
line county, where wheat never fails—en
tire fields are being plowed and millet
sown. This is repeated in all parts of the
State.
THE DAMAGE IN MARYLAND.
Baltimore, June 3.—On the floor ot
the Corn and Flour Exchange to-day
specimens of wheat stalks from Frederick
County, which had been attacked by Hes
sian flics, were exhibited. The insect was
found in the lower joints near the root.
This is probably the greatest enemy to
growing wheat,and this season Maryland
appears to produce the destroyer in great
numbers. There was no hope after ttie
severe winter of more than two-thirds of
a crop, and the ravages of tne fly are ex
pected to very much shorten the wheat
crop from that estimate.
VIRGINIA’S l-TKH LAWS.

The matter creates more than local in

I would like nil to feel the unqualified satis
faction it affords me lo meet foe the tiret. nine
such a largo body of men who have done so
much to advance'tlio interests of tho gn at in
land sou of the country, in my mind the
Mississippi valley occupies as lin port ant a

will lie done to protect and advance the Inter
csts of every citizen of the United States.
LIBER VLS AND TORIES.
,!ohi*|>li Chamberlain and I.ord UUiirclitll
on the Political Slump.
London, June 3. Joseph Chamber
lain, President of the Board of Trade, de
livered a speech ot Birmingham this
evening. He said that he wished the
Liberals to have more interest in their
remedial legislation. Ho attributed the
pacific state of Ireland not to coercion,
but the reform of the land laws and the
removal of deep seated- agrarian
grievances. Coercion was only
for an emergency, and when
that emergency w-as past it
was the duty of wise statesmen to seek
for tbe causes of discontent and attempt
to remedy them. The tusk of the new
Parliament would be to give the widest
possible self-government to Ireland con
sistent with the integrity of the empire,
and to find a sale means between a sep
aration, which would be, disastrous to
Ireland anil dangerous to Eng.
land, and excessive centralization
which would impede legislation.
Mr. Chamberlain said he believed that the
Afghan difficulty would soon lie finally
settled. lie attached the greatest im
portance to the friendship of France.
England’s object in remaining in Egypt
was to secure the independence of the
country.
TORY PROMISES.
Lord Randolph Churchill, addressing n
gathering of Conservatives to-night, said
that the Tory policy was to persistently
expose the failure of the Liberal party to
take measures to remedy Its disastrous
results, to maintain the unity of Great
Britain and Ireland, and to develop natu
ral resources of the country. It it had
not been for tbe famine and change of
government In 1880, Ireland would
now have been in a most
promising condition. Premier Gladstone's
domestic policy placed our commerce and
manufacturing In the bands of foreigners.
The Tories, if returned to power, would
make an inquiry into the causes of the
present unexampled depression In
trade, and, by a comprehensive revision
(>f the fiscal revenue arrangements, re
store to the working classes their com
mercial ami manufacturing predomi
nance.
EXPENDITURES TO BE LOOKED INTO.
The Tories would also promote Parlia
mentary inquiry into the expenditure and
management Of every government depart
ment, direct attention to reform in Par
liamentary procedure, especially as re
gards hours of business, and have re
course largely tn committees: pass a large
scheme ot reform lor the local government
of Ireland, England and the metropolis, re
establish an alliance with Turkey and face
sny responsibility for the security of In
dia. Lord Randolph was confident, how
ever, that If the Tories were placed in
power Russia would advance no further.
The Tories were the real peace and reform
party. The Liberals were only shams,
impostors and humbugs.

Public Inatructinn, has published a reply
to ihc protest of Cardinal Guibcrt, Arch
bishop of Paris, against the “desecration’
of the Pantheon by Bh preparation for the
reception of the body of Victor Hugo.
M. Goblet says that the Cardinal exceeds
tilt* rights of Ids episcopacy in tile
feeling he lias exhibited at the de
termination of the government to re
store the Pantheon to its original
purpose n receptacle for the remains
of tne really great men of Franco. M.
Goblet also points out that, the religions
functions of the Cardinal are at variance
with Us duties as a citizen towards
tbe government, "You are not author
ized," savs .Yt. Goblet, “by any preroga
tive of your office to discuss nets of the
government.” M. Goblet, In conclusion,
reminds the Archbishop that Ins present
attitude is not likely to render more har
monious than tlmy now are tlio relations
of Church and State.

The Theory of Suicide Made HtUl Mora
Vivid In Yesterday's Argument*.
Richmond, Va., June 3.—Beverly T.
Crump, junior counsel for tha
dereuse in the (Jltiverlus murder
trial, addressed the court end
jury this morning lor nearly two hours.
The strength of his argument lay in his
effort** to show from tho evidence of the
Commonwealth that ithnd been negligent
In its duty In trying to force a conclusion
of guilt by making the testimony agree
with tho supposed theory of murder, and
that the murder was committed by tho
accused, Tho suicide theory was ad*
vanned hy the speaker.
WHAT THE BODY SNOWED.
He referred to the condition of the body
when it was taken front Hie water as Indi
cating that no struggle had taken plaea
on the embankment of the reservoir. The
hair was smoothly arranged, the handker
chief about the neck was unruffled, and
the clothing showed no signs ol disorder.
The disposit ion and condition of the cloth
ing found—the hat, veil, shawl and gloves
—showed tiiat there was a purpose to
draw attention to the fact that tha woman
was dead, but the articles could not have
been torn from her without being injured.
Uhe speaker further picked the evidence
of the prosooution to pieces, and showed
many discrepancies and improbabilities.
Ho asserted that the testimony for tha
prosecution was frightfully mixed and
inert dible.
JUDGE URUMr’H PLEA.
Judge YV. YV. Crump, the senior ceiln*
sel, then began the dosing n.gumotit for
the defense by an Impressive address w
thejury as to the great responsibility rest
ing upotiibem and the difficult task be
fore Jliein. There were two cardinal
points upon which the commonwealth re
lied for conviction. The first was that
the accused took the deceased to tho
reservoir and slow her, and the second
that there was ft piece of property, a
watch key, belonging to Ihe accused
found there. • There wits not a particle of
evidence to prove that the accused had
over been near the spot.
ABSENCE of threats.
No human lasing had ever heard him
make throats against the deceased. There
was not a whisper of a motive for taking
her life. Virginia had never raised such
a monster ns the prosecution had painted
the accused. The speaker then briefly
went over the life of tho prisoner and
dwelt upon the alleged relations of tho
deceased and the accused, saying that It
was preposterous for the prosecution to
ask a jury to believe that the accused had
seduced and debauched his cousin.
LILLIAN’S AMOURS.
Judge Crump read a letter written by
the deceased to Mrs. Tunstul! In June.
1884, to show that she was not dominated
by the will of the accused, hut that at
that very time Lillian was writing love
letters to Cary Madison. There was not
a line from the accused to her or from in r
to hint that indicated more than a cousin
ly feeling between them. The speaker said
that *hc unhappy girl had a confederate in
Richmond who mailed her “the Curtis
letter'” and that that confederate wa not
tile prisoner, as the letter was mailed iu
Richmond March 8 or 9, and it was in
evidence that the prisoner was in Lit Ho
Plymouth at that time. Judge Crump
closed with an earnest appeal for the
prisoner. The Court adjourned till to
morrow, when Mr. M. rod Ith will make
the closing argument for tb<> prosecution.

Jested.
\V Awiii.NGTON, June 2.—A long and in
teresting opinion was rendered to-day la
the Court of Claims by Chiei Justice
Richardson, the full bench concurring, ou
the claim of the Cherokee# east of the
Mississippi river for it partition ot the
lund* and proceeds of lands held by the
Cherokee nation. The claim Involves
over $1,000,000. Hhellabarger A Wilson,
Gov. Crawford and Col. KllPatrick ap
peared lor the claimants. Col. William
A. Phillips, attorney for the Cherokee no
tion; John T. Fay, assist ant. attorney for
the United States, and Curtl* A Burdett,
argued for the defendants. Following la
the substance and important points of the
decision:
‘•The *tntiis of the Cherokee notion, one
of the defendants, is entirely different. It
has it# territorial po**es*lon* and bounda
ries, its constitution (very much like the
constitution of tbe United States), it*
law#, its executive, legislative and judi
cal departments, with none of which can
any State or tbe United States Interfere.
Its relations with the United States ato
fixed by contracts set out. in t,anti
laws, to which, as a not on, il ha
its assent. The United StH!es, by the
terms ni these contracts, ha* beoomo
trust* oof its I tied*, which It agrees to ad
minister according to the provision of
these contracts. The Cherokee nation ha#
a rlt-ht to stand upon ti e contracts of
its treaties in relation to the fund#
now in question, and no acts of Con
gress, anti no proceeding* of the political
departments of the government la con
nection therewith can lake away it
vested rights thereto guar,tr.l* ed by suen
treaties. If the Indians east of the Mis
sissippi wish to enjoy the common beneflta
of the Common properly ol the nation
they must comply wltn it# oonstitution
and law*, and become readmitted to
filUzeusiiqi a# therein provid'd. They
cannot have a divided share of common
property of the nation, and thus gain
right# and privileges not accorded to any
other Cherokee Inciiaiis, of living out of
nqiioualterritory, of avoiding the sub
jecting ol themselves to the law* ol the
nation, dividing it* common fund uml
common property, nnd matuuaiug tu< ir
affairs vftioily independent of uatioual
authority. Buub an admission of mot
might break up the nation into
iumirticrablo bands and scatter into frac
tion* fund* which, t.y treaties with Urn
United Mates, bv tbe constitution ami
laws of the Indians themselves, have Iso n
dedicated as common fund# to the com
iii"ii ami not divid' and Is'iicfit of tie Indian.
In our opinion, the eaitern bund ot CSerfs
kite Indians, claimant* in this case, have
no right* in law nor In equity in nnd lo
the money*, stocks nml bond* held by the
United fitnU's in trust for the Cherokee*
tirbdng out of sale# of lands lying west of
the Mississippi river, nor in soil to a cer
tain other ;uml, commonly called the per
manent annuity fund, mentioned in the
act of March 8, IW3, referring the nose to
this court, and a decree wiii be catered to
that affect.”
