Indian Com missioner Morgan has written a letter to Agent Wright, of Rosebud Agency, in which the agent is severely reprimanded for his arrest and expulsion from the reser vation of Dr. T. A. Bland, Secretary of the Rational Indian Defense Association, on the 1st of July last. Commissioner Morgan fays: "I inclose herewith a communica tion received from Dr. Bland, to which I ask your special attention, and upon which I wish a full and explicit report from you." Dr. Bland's letter to the Commissioner makes interesting reading, particularly for a number of army officers. He first telU of his visit to Pine Ridge agency, where Red Cloud and other leading Indians assured him they had no intention of rebell ing against the United States. To show that the army officers are not worthy to have charge of any peaceably disposed people, Dr. Bland employs the expedient of repeat ing the conversation of Ciprain Baley, com mandant of the post, and of lieutenants which he overheard at the table in the hotel. One lieutenant said: "Some S5 or 36 years ago an Indian outbreak occurred in a country over which the British flag waved. At the close of that little disturbance the leaders of the rebellion were sent to the happy hunting grounds by being blown from the mouths of cannons. If .old Red Clcid and all the other leaders of the Sioux had been hanged at the close of the late war all danger of future rebellion on the part of the Sioux would have been over." "The Quakers from the East, " said another lieutenant, "will visit "Wounded Knee, snivel over the bones of some old buck or squaw who hadn't had a bath for ten years, but they have no tears to shed over the grave of the poor old soldier who fell in the nghs." The fourth lieutenant responded: "If a lot of the sniveling Quakers who meddle with Indian aflairs were hanged it would be a good thing for the country." "Maior Ernest is not the sort of a man to i deal with the Indians," Dr. Bland further writes. He is overbearing and despotic His common headquarters are in Valentine in a saloon. He Mas partially intoxicated when I saw him, and he was in the act of drinking a. glass of whisky." FOSTER IS WILLING. POtmCAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE ITVTED IN HIS BUREAU.

There was an audible whisper about the department that Clarkson con sulted Poster about a scheme to raise a fund in tho Treasury Department to helpMc- Kinley, and that tho Secretary signified, his williLgness to lend tho aid necessary to carry the scheme into effect It is under stood that the clerks will be invited to make "voluntary" contributions just as they were invited to contribnte to the cam paign fund about a year ago. Last year the Ohio Republican Associa tion held a meeting, at which the clerks in the department who were credited to Ohio were invited to attend, and at that meeting Chief Clerk Childs, of the Census Office, started the ball rolling by putting his name down for a good-sized contribution. It had the desired effect. The other fellows fol lowed suit and a handsome sum was real ized. It is intimated that Clarkson and Poster have arranged a plan to whoop it up for McKinley without violating the law. In the meantime the Civil Service Com mission is prepared to swoop down on any official who infringes on the law prohibiting political contributions, but there are many perfectly legitimate ways of avoiding an infraction of the law, and it is to be pre sumed that one of these ways will be found. A LATE CONVEHTIOir. Many Ieading Democrats Aro in Favor of Sucli a Ono In 1892. CPr.OM A STATF COEBKSPONDE1TT. WASHINGTON. Aug. 2. There is talk among leading Democrats here in favor of having a late National Convention next year. It is customary for the party in power to hold its convention first, and next year will be no exception to the rule, as the Re publican Convention will, without doubt, be called for May. It is the belief of many Democrats that there is no need for calling the Democratic Convention until the middle of July, which will give six or eight weeks in which toucte the enemv'splan of cam paign and checkmate accordingly. Besides, it isnot forgotten that Congress will be in session next summer, and there may be many fiuejpportunities for the Democratic House to gaiu tactical advantages over the Rcpublicaus after the latter have made their platform and ticket. It is further argued that a short, sharp, cnthusiatio campaign can be waged to better advantage than a long one, which saps the tnergies and financial resources of tho pary organization. The Kational Demo cratic Committee will not meet until Feb ruary 22, 1802. TO SPAN THE OHIO EIVEE. Initial Work Has Been Commenced on a Bis Railroad Bridge. EVANSVH.I.E, Ind., Aug. 2.

Complaint has been made to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, through A. H. Heber, Representative of Meade cpunty, . of the manner in which the school funds aro being used in southwestern counties by private individuals. Mr. Heber complained that in one district in his county there was only one family, and that a man and his wife consti tuted the School Board, employing their daughter as teacher. One week ago her salary was raised at a meeting of tho board from?35to $10 a month. The schoolhouse has not been opeued for 12 months. Ho said that in a number of school dis tricts there were less than a half dozen pupils and that the State school fund was being divided among the families. The con dition of affairs applies in that part of the southwest which was populatod by the boom of 1887, but which has lost its Inhabitants through a succession ot crop failures. Under the present school laws these dis tricts receive as much money from the State as they did in 1888. Superintendent "Winans has addressed letters to superintendents of half a dozen counties, instructing them to make an examination and report to him at once. THE LOTTERY FIGHT.

The resolutions declare in favor of ac cepting the offer of 51,250,000 a year for a lottery franchise, because the State needs the money and particularly because it will allow the'improvement of the public school svstem; denounce Dr. Palmer's speech and all threats of revolution or bloodshed, as' the question at issue is purely an economic oner obligate the -friends of the lottery to abide by the action of the Democratic State Convention and protest against the action of the anti-lottery faction in seeking to bring women into the political discussion aud campaign.

Hungarians and Slavs Come to Blows Dur ing tho Services. Cleveland, Aug. 2. There were lively times at St. Lodislas Catholic Church on Corwin avenue to-day. The congregation is made up of Hungarians and Slavs, about evenly divided, and there has been great rivalry between the two nationalities. Pinally the priest, Father Maratouve, de cided to hold service for the Slavs in the morning and for the Hungarians in the afternoon. This morning the, Hungarians wished to dedicate a banner and the priest gave them half of the service. "When he began to speak in Bohemian the Hungarians left the church and created a disturbance outside. The Slavs went out and drove the Hun garians from the church yard, using clubs and paving stones. A battle was in progress when the police arrived and put a stop to hostilities. It was necessary to take the priest to his home under police escort. No one was seriously hut, but there was great excitement around the church all the after noon. BITTEN BY A CANINE. A Spitz Dog Springs at a Woman and Fastens IU Teeth in Her Flcslu fSrECIAl.

Good win, of Goodwin's Official Turf Guide, did a familiar figure at the race tracks, was shot and mortally wounded to-night in his rooms at the Percival, a hotel apartment house, by Bertram C. Webster. The men both lied on the third floor of the house. Their apartments were remote from jeach other. Goodwin is a bachelor, and his rooms were cared for by the janitor's assistants. "Web ster is married. His wife is a small, pale faced young woman, not handsome, but ex tremely vivacious. "Webster came home at 7 o'clock to-night and found quite a party inhis rooms, among them Goodwin and two ladies. He bad been drinking, and his visitors soon de parted. It is suspected that after their de parture he had words with his wife about Goodwin. About 7.30 o'clock he left his rooms. He went directly to Goodwin's apartments and rapped at the door. Good win said cheerfully, "Come in." "Webster opened the door and glared at Goodwin. SHOT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. "Webster had a large revolver in his right hand. He did not say a word. Leveling the revolver at the sitting man he fired it. Goodwin was just about to get up. Tho bullet struck him in the abdomen. He toppled forward, and fell on his face, break ing a cuspidor which qaught his foot. "Webster put his revolver in his pocket and walked out into the hall to the elevator. He nushed the button and the car came up. Mike Parlin, the elevator man, says that "Webster was not fluste-ed in the least. As he left the car on the ground floor he turned to Parlin and said: "Go for a doctor." Far- lin thought that Mrs. "Webster was ill. Mrs. Simpson, the housekeeper, was stand ing in the office when she heard what she describes as a "fall and a break." She sent her husband upstairs to see what it was. Before he came back "Webster came down. He said to Mrs. Simpson: "You'd better send for a doctor." "What doctor?" Mrs. Webster asked Mrs. Simpson. "Any doctor," with a shrug of her shoul ders. "That Goodwin up there is hurt." An ambulance summoned by the police man took Goodwin to Roosevelt Street Hospital. The doctors there made an effort to find tho bullet, but were unsuccessful. The house surgeon issued this bulletin at 11:30 o'clock. "Charles E. Goodwin, shot in abdomen.

There had been trouble between Goodwin and Webster before. About a month ago Goodwin came home drunk. Hehadmet Mrs.Websterbefore,and she had spoken to him in the halls. When he rerched the Percival he stumbled straighi to her rooms and caused a scene. When Webster came home he went to Goodwin's room and thev hod a sharp quarrel. When Goodwin sobered up he went to Mrs. Webstw and apologized. After that he was very quiet and was not again seen under the influence of liquor in the house. Por the last week his brother, who was re cently married, has been at the Percival with his wife as Goodwin's guest. They left for Chicago on Saturday. DETECTIVES AFTER TIIE MURDERER. Three detectives of Captain Ross' com mand were sent out after Webster. Charles E. Goodwin is the younger of the Goodwin brothers, publishers of the Guide, which is recognized as the official record of rac ing in America. They had a large circula tion throughout the large cities of the Union. selling their opinions on the races which were to be decided from day to "day. They were more than ordinarily successful at this branch of the turf business, and their guide is regarded as more anj advertisement for their other business than anything else. The brothers came to this country from England 10 or 12 years ago, and had been known to all race-goers since that time, always being in eachjother's company at the race tracks every day. They occupied a prominent place in the grandstand, and pored for hours over their guide looking for some of the dark hordes which, as they declared, they backed successfully at differ ent times. It is said that the Goodwins are of Hebrew extraction. A LONG ISLAND MYSTEBY. The Body of a Beautiful Murdered Girl round by Some Berry Pickers. rSPEClAL TELEGRAM TO THE DlSPATCn.l New York, Aug. 2. While several Ger mans were picking blackberries in a tangle of woods between Grendale and Fiesh Pond, on Long Island, this morning, they found the body of a murdered girl. A long black dress clung to it like a shroud. It was that of a beautiful girl, probably not mbre than 20 years old. The lips were slightly parted, showing two rows of white teeh. The features were composed, and a faint smile seemed to hover about her month. As the Coroner lifted the bodj from the ground a discoloration was noticed at tho throat The body was laid on the ground again and the chin raised. Some who gazed at the girl's throat started back in horror. Tho discolorations were fingerprints. "The girl had been choked to death. From her garb it would seem that the girl was in mourning. The identity of the girl is a mystery, which will undoubtedly give the Queens county officials hard work to unravel. It is not thought possible the girl would have gone into that wild place at night with a stranger. Tho spot was well suited for the commission of a crime. BOBBY GAYLOB'S BILLS.

BISHOP POTTER CALLED DOWN BY A CHUKCH SUBORDINATE. Ho Agreed to Address sT.JtC. A. Meeting and Then Backed Out Tho Hector's Ob jection Caused This Action or the Bishop. rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCTT.1 Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 2. About the 1st of June Secretary Atwater, of the Young Men's Christian Association, by in struction of the directors, invited Bishop Potter, of Now York, to deliver an address before the association at Its anniversary meeting, to be held in the Methodist Church on Sunday evening, August 2. In his reply Bishop Potter expressed himself as being in hearty sympathy with the objects of the association and his pleasure in accept ing the invitation. Accordingly, notice a fewdays ago was given in the papers of the anniversary to be held, and mention was made that the annual address would be de livered by Bishop Potter, but jesterday morning, to the surprise and disappoint ment of many, notice was given that Bishop Potter had withdrawn his consent and that the meeting would be postponed. Bishop Potter is here a guest of Mrs. John W. Eheninger, and is much chagrined at tho turn that has been given to the affair, which amounts indeed to a snubbing of the Bishop by the Rev. Dr. Joseph Carey, rector of the Bethesda Episcopal Chnrch, and a caution to the Bishop to obey more strictly the canons of the church. The situation will be better understood- by the following letter addressed by Bishop Potter to the Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association: Newport, R. I., July 21. Mr Dear Sik Ab I wroto you some days ago, I have not understood my engagement with the Young Men's Christian Association to bo for tho 26th, but for tho 29th inst , and could not, in any case, be in Saratoga before that date. Since I wroto you I have received a note from the Kev. Dr. Carey, rector ot Bethesda Church, intimating very clearly that my understanding to address your as sociation could not bavo his approval. Un der our canons I am not at llbeity under snch circumstinces to take part in tho an nivorarv',and I can only express mysincero regrots that my inability to do so shall cause you any inconvenience. "With be9t wishes for yourself and for your work in tho asso ciation, 1 am, dear sir, sincerely yours, H. C. Potter. All that Dr. Carey would say to the re porter was: "My relations with Bishop Potter are of the most friendly nature, ana no trouble has arisen between us." This matter has several complications. Dr. Carey has heretofore showed much friendliness to the Y. M. C. A., and he is hardly ever ab sent from those social gatherings of which members of his church take part The board of directors of the association are members of Dr. Carey's church. WAS BOUND TO FBEACH. Trials and Tribulations ot the Pastor of a Boston Church. Boston, Aug. 2. For some time past there has been trouble in the Twelfth Baptist Church (colored).

About 3 o'clock this morning one of the Harris men saw a light in the church, aud, summoning eight or ten of his friends, they effected an entrance, and seven of tho anti Harris men were found busily engaged in boarding up the doors and windows, while a large placard announced that the church would be closed until September. The anti Harris party was ejected. This forenoon one of their number charged Rev. Mr. Harris with performing a criminal operation, to prevent his appearance in the pulpit Mr. Harris went to the police station, where he was released on $10,000 bail. Accompanied by a special officer, he then preached a strong sermon, making only incidental al lusion to his troubles. A MURDEE MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

The Chicago Fair Commissioners were interviewed here yesterday just before starting for Berlin. Mr. Peck said: "I have talked with many large manufacturers in England and France, and find a strong disposition to send exhibits to Chicago." Mr. Bullock said: "I am really astonished at the proportion which the art display of France bids fair to assume. I did not find the movement in England so marked in that direction. Here the Minister of Arts and many artists are enthusiastic over the fair." i Mr. Lindsay said that before he came to Europe he had no conception of the wide knowledge of the Fair already disseminated on this side of the Atlantic. NEWSPAPERS FAVOEABLE. Mr. Handy said: "The newspapers, especially the London dailies, have taken lip our cause in earnest. The Temps, Figaro, La JPratux, Journal De Geneie, and scores of other papers published in French devote articles to the Fair, and it is being advo cated everywhere." Mr. Butterworth said: "I have been pleasantly surprised at the sympathy shown our Ministers and public men in Paris and London. Evidently these governments are at least with us." M. Floquet, the President of the Cham ber of Deputies, in receiving the Commis sioners, promised to facilitate the passage of an appropriation for the Fair at the October session of the Chamber. M. Roche, Minister of Commerce and Industry, spent several hours with the Commissioners ex amining the reports of Chambers of Com merce proposing to take part in the Fair.

N0 DEUGS, BUT WILL P0WEB. Miss Lord Lecturing Under the Shades of Dickens' Old Home. LONDON, Aug. L Miss Lord, authoress of "Christian Social Science Healing," has lately been giving lectures at the house of Mrs. Sheldon Amos, Upper Woodbum place, Tavistock square, W. C, under the shadow of the house in which Charles, Dickens lived for many years. Miss Lord's,- theory, it, indeed, theory it may be called,, deprecates tne use oi arugs or ot external: remedies, but teaches that healing can be effected by the power of intense and concen trated thought, a doctrine somewhat similar to that of the Buddhists, Mahatmas or Arhats, the adepts of the esoteric system of Buddhism. These Magi, or Wise Men of the East, as sert that by the mere concentration of in tense will they can cure disease, project their astral bodies and their voices to limit less distances without any aid of external apparatus whatever. The old Quaker doc trine, which recommends silent meditation for at least 20 minutes every day, has some slight resemblance to this cult, and has still a fainter resemblance to the practice of Mrs. Eddv and other professors of mysticism in the United States, but a etill closer analogy may be found between the teachings of Miss Lord and of the Theosophic Pundits pre sided over by the late Madame Blavatskr prior to that occultist's absorption into the sievachanic state.

Ann O'Delia Dis De- bar, tilt. c, 'oook priestess, started for the lahi ?f Ijf joks on April 13. Ac cording to her , 3 0f farewell she failed to connect, for on the very next day after she disappeared from New York and was supposed to have jumped from a Staten Is land ferry boat there appeared in Boston 200 and odd pounds of flesh and bones which bore a striking resemblance to the spook priestess. It was a strange looking creature that stood at the door of a boarding house on Tremont street on the day following the supposed suicide. Her last appearance in New York, clad in the tights in which she sported as CttpH, could not have been more comical than that in which she made her debut to Boston as Miss Eleanor Morgan. She was short and stout and round, and wore a wig of golden curls, which was drawn over her forehead and reached almost to her straight eye brows. She lived quietly for awhile and seemed shv of making ac quaintances. After awhile this shyness wore off and sho became more inti mate. She didn't talk about spooks, but she soared into the realms of theosophy and completely bewildered the plain-spoken landlady. Her lingo was un intelligible, but it was eApressive. She succeeded about three weeks ago in scrap ing acquaintance with some well-to-do people in the suburbs. She informed them thatLeland Stanford, the California million aire, had deeided to devote a few of his millions to theosophic and spiritualistic work. She asked the advice of her new found friends as to the best method of dis seminating their peculiar doctrines, and they agreed with her that a paper was the best medium. Her scheme was dazzling. Money would be forthcoming ad libitum thousands if necessary, millions if requisite. She was on the lookout for good talent, add she asked for names in order to organize a staff competent to carry out that great scheme. She confessed that she herself was not exactly the agent of Mr. Stanford. There was a man named Percival who was the agent She was the adviser and had power of attorney to act, She had stayed at the "Vendome at first, but had moved to more modest quarters. Now Ann Odelia has disappeared as mysteriously as she came upon the scene. In some way she must have learned that inquiries were being made as to her antecedents. vo, AN AUSTRALIAN'S SEABCH For a Clew to His Brother's Murder Twenty Tears Ago in Kansas. Topeka, Kan., Aug 2. C. Seehusen, of Melbourne, Australia, is in the city looking np the story of the manner in which his younger brother, H. Seehusen, was sup posed to have been murdered in an alley way in Topeka 20 years ago. Many years ago C. Seehusen, at his home in Melbourne, received a letter from Kansas City, saying that the writer knew the murderer of his brother; that the crime was committed there, and asking how much he1 would give to have the culprit brought to justice. The letter stated where the money could be sent, but as no name was signed it was regarded as a trick. While in Golden, 111., a week or two ago, Mr. Seehusen saw a number of friends and relatives from Germany, and from one of them he heard another story about his brother Henry, to the effect that he was killed in Lawrence, Kan. The Topeka clew seems to be the nearest to an authentic story that he can find. There is a portion of a large German estate to which the missing man is entitled. DEUTSCHE VEBELN CONVENTION.

THREE OENTa THE PREY OP 11 BEAR Notliing out the Skeleton of the lost WilkesDarre Child Eonnd. SUSPENSE ENDED AT LAST, But the Climax Is a Terrible One for tho Heart-Broken Parents. ' 800 PERSONS SEARCHED IX YALX. Little Annie Fredericks Had Wandered Seven Miles From Home. THE IXXOCEXCE OF GIPSIES PE0YED rFriCIAI. TXLEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.J Wilkesbarke, Aug. 2. A little over a month ago the whole country read about the disappearance of little Annie Freder icks from her home in Laurel Run. The village of Laurel Bun is situated at the foot of the Wilkesbarre mountain. This mount ain is one of dense forest and covers an area of hundreds of acres. Portions of it have never seen the face of a white man. Bears and other wild animals are numerous. When little Annie was first missed from her home the supposition was that she had wandered into the woods and got lot. A searching party was organized, and for three days they searched the mountain, but could find no trace of the missing girl. Then the father heard that a band of Gipsies had camped on the outskirts of the mount ain, and that it was possible they had kidnaped Annie. The Gipsies had taken their departure two days previous. A posse wa3 organized, and the Gipsies were pursued on horseback. They were over taken on the third day. Their wagons were searched, but Frederick's daughter was not ainongthe many babies which comprised the Gipsy party. A DETERMINED FATIIER. When the posse returned without the girl Mr. Fredericks determined to make an other search of the mountain. He organ ized a big party, mostly his neighbors, and said he would give every man ?2 for each day spent in the woods. He mortgaged his little home in order to raise funds. The members of the party, however, refused to take a cent from the grief-stricken father. As most of those composing the searching party were working people, it was decided to start in the search early Sunday morning in order that the men could get back to work Monday. Accordingly, at 5 o'clock, a bright Sabbath morning five weeks ago, 800 people started out to find the lost girl. Each one. carried their own provisions. The party was divided in small squads of a dozen or more. Before night the best part of the mountain was traversed. Just before dusk the advance guard of the searching party returned. They had found no tidings of the girL All nightlong wo men and children waited at the foot of the mountain for news. Stragglers from the searching party returned every hour. They were weary and footsore. They had the same story to tell. They had seen or heard nothing of the girL Some of the searchers did not return until Monday night. CONTINUED THE SEARCH ALONE. Everybody gave up the search now but the father, who continued to roam the moun tains for days and days. Very often ha came across the tracks of a bear, and then he would remark to himself that if his little girl ever got in their way she was doomed. At last, broken in heart and spirit, Mr. Fredericks gave the search up. On Saturday there was a knock at the door of Fredericks cottage. The father came to the door. "Your child has been found," said Aaron Porter. "What, found?" replied the father, as ha jumped .with joy. "Is she alive?" "No, she is dead," replied Porter. "Oh God, dead," whispered Fredericks in a low tone and he fell back in a swoon. After he came to himself he accompanied Porter to the mountain. The latter had been huckleberrying. Early in the morning Jhe came across a little skeleton. He also came to the conclusion that it might be the remains of little Annie Fredericks. He was not mistaken. The little girl's clothes were found some distance away. One stock ing still clung to the right foot. A little chain encircled the neck. The father's grief was pitiful to behold. The remains of the little one were placed In a box and car ried to the Fredericks' home. The place where the skeleton was found is seven miles distant from the Fredericks' home. She wandered aimlessly about, then was either killed by bears or died of starvation. If she starved to death, bears or wildcats made way with her flesh as there was noth ing but the dry bones left when found. A FIGHT 0VEB C0L0B.

Bishop Keane, of Wash ington, delivered the dedicatory address, t. u.ne concluding remarks were made oy Bishop Harkins, of this diocese, who an nounced the name of the school and the giver.
