SOME PRESS OPINIONS.
COMMENTS ON APPOINTMENTS MADE
BY THE PRESIDENT.
General Satisfaction Expressed on nil Side*
Political Cyclone—No Cause for
(Join plat nt —Mission Declined.
Political Notes.
Nbw York. March Ss.—The Sun says edi
torially: “In the nominations sent to the
senate Mr Cleveland preserved that element
of the unexpected and surprising which he
seems always to take pleasure in. Mr. Phelps
is a lawyer of much reputation in Vermont,
but is not much known outeide. He is very
much of a theorist, dogmatic, positive, im
patient of contradition. peculiarities that are
rather heightened by a neuralgic tempera
ment and a delicate physical constitution.
He ha« never served in congress, is unknown
in democratic national conventions and no
body ever dreamed that he would receive the
most desirable diplomatic post that is at the
disjxeal of the president. No political reason
whatever is apparent for giving Rich an
office to a citizen of Vermont, a stab* hope
lessly republican, and yet it cannot be said
that Mr. Phelps is unequal to the public
duties to which he is assigned.
“Mr. McLane is a gentleman of eminent
talent and cultivation His services io the
party have been conspicuous and nothing
can be said against his iieing minister to
France.
“Mr. Jackson served as minister to Austria
under Pierce and was a con J dental brigadier
general. The office to which he is alioted is
quite important mid he succeeds a man of
extraordinary ability.
“The appointment of Mr Pendleton is not
the least sensational in this list of surprises
The public mind had supposed that Mr. Pen
dleton would be sent either to England or
France. He is a gettleman of grtwit expe
rience and influence and it may be that in
•coding him to Germany President Cleveland
has felt the necessity of having there a rep
resentative of unusal strength.”
The Tribune says: “The nominations for
diplomatic posts are the most important
which have been made outside of cabinet po
sitions. On the whole they are excellent.
They must be a painful surprise to the Bour
bons who doubtless expected to see some of
the regular old hack politicians put in these
places, but the country at large will approve
Mr Cleveland's select ion». The appointment
of Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Phelps are partic
ularly acceptable*. Gov. Me Line has already
had diplomatic experience and is highly re
spected for his ability and accomplishments.
He will do admirublj for the Paris position.
“Mr Jackson comes from one of the most
energetic and busy states in the south, and
his experience should have fitted him to rep
resented its creditably in Mexico. His ser
vice in the confederate army will not make
his appointment let>s acceptable to his south
ern friends.’’
The World regrets that Mr. Thurmaja did
not receive one of the foreign missions, but
otherwise approve* the nominations.
The Times unqualifiedly approves the
nominations.
The Herald says: “President Cleveland
iisplaced four ministrs of the first class, who
have been serving President Arthur, and
nominated Messrs. Phelps, McLane, Pendle
ton ami Jackson in their stead. President
ihows in these appointmenss independence
□f any clique. The new ministers are all of
high character and acknowledged aUlitiee.
We therefore welcome the coming diplo
matists. But in sjK*eding toe departing ones
it would be ungracious were we not to ac
know ledge that in many particulars they
have displayed merits which will put their
successors to a desirable test.”
Political Cyclone.
Nrw York, March 25. —A Washington
•pecial to the World says: “McLane’s nomi
nation is credited first to Senator Gorman,
who desired to get McLane out of Maryland,
so that he would have a walk-over for re
election. McLane was the only candidate in
the senatorial field against him. Then, in
addition to this, Mr Bayard naturally
inclined to McLane on account of his belong
ing to an old Delaware family which has
long been intimate and friendly with the
Bayard family. It is hard to describe toe
panic among the offico-eeek ing politi
cians here. Few of them knew who Phelps
and Jackson were. Koine of the men about
the hotels were paralyzed by the statement
that Phelps was William Walter Phelps.
They are in such a state of mind that nothing
would have surprised them after toe first
knockdown.”
No Cause for Complaint.
Naw York, March 25 —An Indianapolis
dispatch to the World says:, “Ex Senator
McDonald has returned from Washington.
He was offered the Russian mission but says
he had no intention of accepting any por
tion. ’I am made aware, however, that the
president and vice president and cabinet felt
delirious of expressing their confidence in
me. I sought to bring to the attention of the
president the fact that Indiana has not re
ceived as much consideration as she was
justly entitled to. I said to him pleasantly
that as Indiana bad no representative in his
cabinet we would have to look to him to be
our representative in it and the president
assured me that in the end we should have no
cause of complaint.’”
Misaion Declined.
Blogmington, DE, March 25.-—Rev. C. 8.
Smith, the colored orator, of Illinois, a lead
ing mugwump, has arrived home from Wash
ington. He was offered the Liberian mis
sion, but declined, he says that upon advice
of Fred Douglass and other eminent colored
men he concluded it better to wait until the
policy of the' administration towards the col
ored people of the south should be well de
fined. Going to Liberia wonki be going out
of the world as far as real service to the
American negro is concerned.
Indians’* Bite.
Indian apo lis, Ind., March 25.—Represen
tative Hanlon, of Floyd county, says that he
has been appointed Indian commissioner for

ment of a law providing for a mounted pa
trol for the apprehension of criminals, and
for an amendment to the treaty of relations
relative to the extradition of criminals be
tween the United States and Mexico,
AU these ware appropriately referred.
Mr. Dolph appealed to the senate to consid
er his resolution authorizing the committee
of coast defenses to set any where they may
deep proper during the recess, but the senate
was apparently in no mo«xl to further the
consideration of such resolutions fmring per
haps that if the question of employing clerks
for the committees during the recess should
be reopened at this time: Mr. Sherman's
pending relation rescinding all such orders
made since March 4 might lx passed.
Mr Dolph's endeavors wen* frustrated by
Mr Miller (N. Y.), who moved that the sen
ate proceed to the consideration of executive
business, which was carried The gnllerio

THE SHROUD OF MYSTERY-
Eternity Holds th® Secret of Mlm Mad
laon’a Daath.
Richmond, Va., March 25. Cluverius, the
lawyer in jail charged with the murder of
Miss Madison, is a grand nephew of Preiii
tent Tyler. The girl, it will be remembered,
vas of the family of President Madison. No
nove ha* yet been made to disinter the girl’s
xxly and to discover if there was any human
nitide under her finger nails—corresponding
x> wounds on Cluverius’ hands. This would
je very important evidence. But there
teems now no likelibtxxl that what happened
n the interval before death will ever be
mown.
Doubt must make in Cluverius’ favor. It
probably can never be sufficiently estab,
ished that ho struck the blow, or that she
lid not herself throw herself into the water.

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 26. 1885.
RESTLESS CAMPERS.
OKLAHOMA TRIBES ARE NOT YET IN
THE PROMISED LAND.
Stockmen Demand That Their I’asture-land
Shall Not Be Invaded for Settlement
The Advance Guard—How Mat
ten* Look in WaMhlngton.
Arkansas City, Kan., March 25—Gen.
Hatch in command of the United State?
troops here, went to Caldwell, where the
stockmen who hold cases in the Cherokee
strip are in << ■<■>ll, and it is und ‘rst.o>xl that
resolutions will be passed demanding that
congress shall not throw open Oklahoma tc
•ettlemunt.
The news that the advance guard of the
colony of Oklahoma settlers had passed the
Sac an i Fox agency is confirmed hero, but
the strengtli of the main body could not lie
ascertained. Major Benton does not think it
can l>e very large, and he feels certain that
the Deweese column will get between it and
the Canadian river before Oklahoma is
reached.
It has become kiidwn here that besides the
eleven companies of the Ninth cavalry now
in the field against the Oklahoma forces,
there are two companies of infantry stationed
near Well’s store which have been quietly
held there by orders from Gen. Hatch, and
in case a general move is made they will I>e
used in connection with the cavalry to eject
all person’s in the < Oklahoma country. While
Gen. Hatch has power to art irrespective of
higher authority, he is at present waiting
for the return to Fort Leavenworth of Gen.
Augur, in order that he may more fully
acquainted nitb the wishes and the intention
of the war department relative to the presi
dent’s ]U<> da 1 nation.
The men who have been in camp here for
so many weeks are becoming restless and un
easy ano h<» k vvledi.r that 01 its are going
'Jito the 1.-.nd •■ n which they arc lc’».irred
is makin c h<”)i very much djsrpnienl.od.
Capt. Coqch say the LAyt. that his men
hr 'letcrminr Ito maiio a move within a
w u . < mi I the governm . Low its
hand, and circulars have iieeu sent abroad to
colonies outside telling all persons wishing to
go to Oklahoma to meat here by Sa t unlay
next. A train from Wichita brought about
a dozen additional boomers from Fort Scott
and the western portion of the state. While
three or four persons leave the camp daily
more than as many arrive, and since the day
President Cleveland's proclamation came the
camp has increased in size very materially.
At Washington.
Washington, March 25.—Ex-Gov. Glick,
of Kansas; Col. N. S. Wood, of the Kansas
State Journal: J. G. Maybury. of the o age
Democrat: W. F. Toler, of Wichita, ivui.,
and ex-Representatives Clark and Weaver
an* here in the interest of the Oklahoma
boomers, and will have an interview with the
secretary of the interior. Col. Clark, the
spokesman of the delegation, makes very se
rious charge's against Senators Ingalls,
Plumb and Teller, and declares that these
gentlemen are pecuniarily interested in the
Oklahoma question; that apiece of land l>e
longing to the Cheyennes and Araphues has
been leased for grazing purpo< ‘s to a Mr.
Malaly, who represents Senator Teller, 564,-
4>m> acres being involved. H. B. Denham,
with 175,(MX! aeres, is only another name for
Senator Ingalls, while A. G. Evans and L»
M Briggs, with 450,660 and 31H,720 acres
respectively, are the agents of Senator
PI um b.
The charges they propose to lav before the
president, who they say has been imposed
upon by lawyers representing the ea’t: rais
ers and induced to raise* the proclainat ion of
several days ago. It will be shown that the
declaration that there are no wire fe.m- v-t in
Oklahoma is utterly at variance wi ll the
facte, and a map has tx'en prepared by the
Kansas State Journal which give- al! tii ■ n
formation obtainable as to the m m who have
rattle and Jami in tin's part of the United
States.
According to Col. Clark, Oklohoma is cov
ered with fire (»ncing and there is not an In
dian in that section of the country. It has
been represented at Washington that the
boomers are a mob of desperadoes whose sole
aim is pillage. “Pillage!” cried Col. Clark,
“when the fact is that they arc colonists who
want to go into this country and settle it up
the same as Kansas was colonized. But to
this the cattlemen demur, for as soon as the
question is rais«*d to the title of these lands it
will be demonstrated that they possess them
illegally and in violation of section 2,116 of
the revised statutes, which prohibits the In
dians from granting or leasing any land or
lands owned by them.”
Two plans are to tie submitted to the proper
authorities with a view to a permanent set
tlement of t his dispute, one to have a judicial
decision and the other to have the president
appoint a commission to investigate the
rights of tha cattlemen, if they exist. Mili
tary, the delegation say, are not necessary,
and the only question at issue is whether the
lands are public or not By the action of
Secretary Toller the cattle-raisers were al
lowed to pick up without a shadow of right
about 1,6(X),000 acres of tiie finest grazing
land in the west
Senator Plumb, so the delegation say, is
interested in several stock raisi.’ig associar
tions, but Senator Ingalls is more cautious,
and only has one association, while Senator
| Teller is continually adding to his stock
i Thus far the agents of the boomers have been
! hampered in their efforts on account of many
■ officials involved, and othei’s s»-nab>rshave
been offered blocks of sto'-k in cattle to ob
tain their support A lobby has been organ
teed, and upward of sl(X),OOOhas alrtiany been
raised from the stockholders, $40,000 of
which went, it was said, to the Creek Indians,
and the remainder was sent to this city to be
judiciously applied under the direction of
Senator Plumb.
BATTLE WITH NEGROES.
Kight Burglars Make a Desperate Fight
With a Sheriff’s Powe.
OcoNA, 8. C., March 25.-—Sunday Wil
born’s store was entered and robbed of $6,000.
Eight negroes, two of them women, were
found to have suddenly left the town A re
ward of SI,OOO was offered for the burglars,
and a sheriff’s posse started in pursuit of the
fugitives.
Ned Mclntyre, an ex-convict, led the
negroes. They crossed into this state and
were surprised the next day while sleeping
in an old house.
The house wassurrounde 1 and the sheriff
callefl on the negroes to surrender, 'tli y
replied they would fight. When the besieg
ers tried to break in the doors and windows,
the negrfxss fired and severely wounded thr •
of the posse. The sheriff batter -d the doo,
in, but was instantly killed by on axe used
by one of the negro women as he fired.
Three negroes were killed, four captured, aud
Mclntyre and one other escaped with most
of the money stolen.
The captured negroes say they had hoped
to reach New York and go to Liberia. The
dead ah er iff and piisoners were brought here.
THE GRANT FAMILY.
Explanation ax to Why Mrs. s»rt<»rl»’ Hut
band Did Not Accompany Her.
New York, March 25 —Surprise was ex
pressed that Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris
should have been to make the tem
pestuous ocean voyage to rejoin her father,
accompanied only by her maid. Her hus
band, wi io had been in the xsest for some
months looking after his land investments,
expected to bring her over, lie started for
England to join her, but t hey passed each
other in midyoceau, as will be remembered.
A visit to the house partly fonfirimvl the re
port. He decided to g-» over to England and
bring his wde.
In the meantime, Col. Fred Grant and his
brother, fearing their sister, Mrs. Sartoris,
woo was then in England, might lie alarmed
at the report which had been cabled over,
s<'nt a message calculated to allay her fears.
Mr. Sartoris engaged passage on the next
outgoing steamer. Just after he embarked
and too 'ate to communicate with him, word
was received from the General’s daughter
that she would sail from home by the next
steamer. About the same time th t she land
ed iu New York her busband reached En
gland. The family were very anxious to
have a likeness taken of the General before
his appearance should be changed by exhaus
tion from his disease.
The soreness in bis throat and jaw has
made it imposssble for his beard to be
j trimmed. It has, therefore, attained a
: greater length than he has been in the habit
of wearing it. His hair has also grown much
longer. This gives him a much more vener
able appearance. When the sub jvt of ad
mitting an artist to take his bust was
; broached to him be did not take kindly to it..
Noticing that his refusal occasioned disap-
I pointmenb to his family, he finally consented
I “It will represent me as a prett y old man,”
remarked the general. “Well, it might as
well be taken aud it will save the trouble
years from now.”
Work on the bust was begun and several
sittings were made last week. It is under
stood that a copy of it will be included
among the general’s trophies that have been
presented to the nation, and of which ho is
the custodian while ho lives.

San Francisco, March 25.—A special
igent of the czar has been sojourning here.
His mission is connected with the relations
between tlie Alaska Commercial company
ind the Russian government. In 1870 the
■ur monopoly secured a twenty years’ lease
)f the Behring islands from Russia. A !aw
that country prohibiting the leasing of
imperial land by foreign corporations, the

TION OF PEACE OR WAR.

General Foreign News.
London, March 25.—Lord Edmund Fitz
maurice, u.ider secretary of foreign affairs,
in the course of an interview, during which
much was said of the Russian problem, the
under secretary answered a question whether
the inquiries so frequently addressed to the
government in parliament about Afghan di
plomaey complicated the affair. Hu said:
‘These inquiries are intended, of course, to
injure Mr. Gladstone, but they have the
effect, as well, of discrediting England in
»he eyes of Europe. It is not the Irish
party alone that keeps up this form of Par
liamentary teasing, but the men on the op
position benches, whose patriotism should
carry them above this partisan method.”
“There is a strong feeling abroad that the
government is w ithholding important infor
mation on the Afghan matter. Is that
true. ?”
“Yes, in the sense that we do not proppee
to publish any of the correspondence on the
matter until we can publish it as a whole. It
woul 1 bo manifestly against public interest tc
publish what we have at present when the
next mail bag may reverse our relations with
Russia. But the fact is, that so far as the
movements on either side of the frontier are
concerned, the foreign office knows only a
little more than what has been already pub
lished. I have no desire to underrate the
gravity of the present crisis, but 1 am not
without hope that diplomatic efforts may
prove successful in warding off (pausing),
well, well, a collision that can prove of small
value to either country.”
During the conversation a messenger from
t h foreign ' >fllee brought a dispatch announc
ing the deuih of the British minister at Pekin,
whose loss Lord Edmund Fitzinauriee la
inented wit h feeling, as that of the most val
u<ml representative <»f England in the far
east and of one who had huld important
trusts since the earliest days of European di
plomatic relations with China or Japan. The
under secretary of foreign affairs was per
haps pardonably reticent, but from his man
ner he implied that he did not apprehend im

incomplete ami looked serious for the British
troops.
Paris Affairs.
Parts, March 25.—Financial circlestake a
brighter view of the situation than they did.
Peace is regarded as certain; princes are trav
elling ami paying each other visits, and sel
dom go out of their way to say disagreeable
things of each other; diplomacy has settled
the financial part of the Egyptian question,
and is busy now with smoothing away the
Franco-Chinese difficulties. People are re
covering from the alarm about Afghanistan.
Doubtless the timely speech of the old Ger
man Kaiser will complete the pacific work
already begun.
“.Miss America” is the title of a now novel
which is too much talked of just now. The
author is M. Feli< ien Champsaur, a bohe
mian of letters, who made some stir two
years ago with a lx)ok called “Dinah Sam
uel,” suppowvl to be a study of Sarah Bern
hnrdi. In “Miss America” he gives us what
he imagines to i>e a serious picture of the
high spirited, pure, but indejiendent
American girl, the daughter of a
disreputable millionaire, who, after queen
ing it over all of her rivals in Paris salons,
falls in love with a wretched French Don
Juan, Comte de Vrran, and in the last chap
ter marries him. Incidentally the author
sketches several leaders of fashion, eccentric
dukes, professional beauties and piquant l>al
let dancers, and introduces us in turn to the
Coneours 1 lippique, to the liallet of the Eden
theater, to a costume ball at the Comte d«
Veran’s and other episodes of fast Parisian
life. The b<K>k has no literary merit what
ever, but lik-‘ the memoirs of M. Andrieux,
will be widely read. Faris loves scandal
“Miss America” is full of it
Stole the I'Tag.
Dublin, March 25.—Great excitement and
indignation prevails throughout the city
among the sympathizers of the lord mayor
over the discovery of t he flag which is usually
displayed over the Mansion house on the oce&
sions of fetesorevents of state. Some students
belonging to a medical college, after learn
ing of the threat of the lord mayor to lowei
the flag during the visits of the prince and
princess of Wales, banded together a.id con
cocted a scheme by which they would foil th<
lord mayor in carrying out his threat. They
decided to obtain possession of the flag. A
number of students succeeded in obtaining
admission to the building on some pretext,
an<l stole the national ensign. The royalisti
are jubilant over the nationalist’s misfortune
and are hugely enjoying the joke, as they
term it.
Dead and Insane.
Dublin, March 25.—J<x* Smith, the max
who pointed out Burke to Carey, on the day
when the former was assassinated in Phcenb
I’ark, has just died. Smith has been in bad
health for months before death and suffered
greatly from fear of being assassinated by
invincibles, because of certain informatior
given by him to the authorities concerning
their movements. Another informer, Michael
Kavanaugh, driver of the car in which th<
assassins escaped, is now confined in one ol
luuatic asylums, jje is violently insane,

Fxciteineiit in ( ana<ia.
Montreal, March 25 —A sensation hai
been caused in financial circles here by th<
announcement made in parliament by Sil
John McDonald to the effect tiiat the govern
ment refused the proposition made by th<
Canadian Pacific for financial aid; that ii
all probability the second proposition
will l>e received. In well informed
circles here, it is known the company
asked for $5,000,000 cash, which is irnmedl
ately required to meet the floating liabilities.
The refusal of the government to grant thia
is considered of serious import to the coin
pany, as large amounts of its paper will soon
fall due. The ‘second proposition referred tc
by the premier is for the removal of a liei
on the last year’s loan and the issue of mort
gage bonds. The directors here refuse to say
anything about it.
