Hockslager, Acting Commissioner of the General Land Office: "It has come to the knowledge of this office that in many towns where United States land offices are located and in other places certain land agents and attorneys adopt the business signs of a character to represent their offices as Government offices; for example, the signs may bear the words 'United States Land Office' in bold letters of a size to be readily seen at a distance, reading in very small letters, 'Business done or 'Papers drawn and that the effect and apparent purpose of such signs is to mislead and deceive the public, particularly settlers and' applicants who are uninformed and who often enter these offices, have their papers made out, pay fees and leave their entry money fully believing that they have been transacting business with authorized Government officers. You are authorized to notify all agents and attorneys in your district using deceptive or misleading signs or advertisements of any character that the use of the same must be forthwith discontinued and you will report all such agents or attorneys to this office and the facts in each case in order that proper steps may be taken to prohibit them from practice before the land department and local land offices."

Beach immediately got a slight lead and at the St ir and Garter was a third ot a length ahead, pulling thirty-seven strokes to the minute to Gaudaur's thirty-five, but at the creek Gaudaur led by a third of a length. Beach spurted at the half mile tree, and he led by half a length at the Craven Cottage steps and was the same distance ahead at Crabtree. At Hammersmith Beach was three leng hs in front His time to Hammersmith was 8:58, covering the disiance in 9:03. At Biffen's Gaudaur began to decrease his opponent's lead and at Chtswick was only half a length behind. By the time Thorny Croft was reached Gaudaur was half a length in front of Beach, and at the pumping station he was still sliehlly iu the lead.

Beach then stopped rowing and Gaudaur obtained a lead of two lengths. At Barnes bridge Beach again spurted and going to the front won by four lengths. His time was 18:66. It was a fearfully hard race throughout The weather was clear and cold with the wind from the northeast and the tide good. Before the start the betting was five to one in favor of Beach.

Cincinnati, Sept 21. Yesterday morning the case of the Bell Telephone Company was called before Circuit Judge Jackson and District Judges Sage and Weeker. The only persons who argued were Messrs.

Thurman, Harrison and Stor-row. The Bell Company had filed a plea against jurisdiction and also a motion to quash the marshal's return, aud the Government moved to strike the motion from the files. A preliminary question arose as to whether the question of jurisdiction should be raised by motion or by plea. The Government insisted that it should only be raised by the Bell Company pointed out that the practice was not uniform, some courts insisting on one way and some another; that they had for safety filed both, but were content to have one bearing on the question under either a plea or a motion, the court saving rights under either if the Supreme Court should ultimately determine that the other was tbe proper form. The court ruled that it would hear the question of sufficiency in law of the return uuder the motion and it would hear the question of the truth of the return under the plea, one argument to cover tne Whole.

In the afternoon Mr. J. J. Storrow, ior the Bell Telephone Company, began the argument against the jurisdiction of the court He took the ground that the service was Imperfect, and made a statement of the manner of conducting the business of the company with a view to showing that it had no agent or employes in Ohio who could be brought into court in such manner as to give the court jurisdiction here. His argument was not ended when court adjourned.

Alcut three hundred delegates were on the floor with only a sprinkling of outsiders. The convention was railed to order by Albert Griffin, of Kansas, who asked the Rev.

Ii. Hutchison, of Des Moi ies, for reading e'erk, and the gentlemen were elected unanimously.

Mr.

Blair said they had also met as Republicans. They were in that party and would not be driven out, and he was oneof those who bedeved that it was only through the Republican parly that the suppression of the liquor rratlic could be secured.

Buck. The Committee on Resolutions reported as follows: First That the liquor traffic as It exists to day in the Un tod States is the enemy of society, a fruitful source of corruption In polices, the ally of anarchv. a school of crime, and with its avowed purpose of seek-inir to corrupt iy control elections and leg 8-iation, is a menace to the public welfare and deserves the condemnation of all (rood men. Second Thnt we declare war ag-a nst the saloon, and hoid it to be the supreme duty of the Government to adopt such measures as shall restrict it and control its influence and at the earl est possible moment ex tm-gu sh ft altosrther. Th rd We believe the Tfat'ona! Government should absolutely prohio.t the raanu-lacture and sale of intoxicating 1 quors in the liistriet of Columbia and in all tne Territories of the United States.

Fourth We beheve the best practical method of dcabtnr with tbe traffic in the several States is to let the people decide whether it shall be prohibited by the sub-ni'fsion of constitutional amendments, an4 unt such amendments are adopted by the passage of local opt on laws. Inasmuch as tiie saloon business creates a special burden of taxation upon the people to support courts, jails and alms houses, therefore a annual tax shou id be levied upon the saloons so Ions as they continue to exist, and they should be made responsible for all public and private injury resulting from the traffic. Filth That the Republican party, where-everand whenever in power, should faithfully enforce whatsoever ord nances, statutes or const tut onal amendments as may be enacted for the restrict on or suppression of the liquor traffic. Sixth That we approve the action of Congress and of those States that bare done so, in irov njr for teaehirjjrthephysinlofrio.nl effects of intoxicants in our public schools, and we earnestly reermmend to every State Lesrslsiture the enactment of such laws as shall provide for the thorough teaching' of such effects 1o our children. Seventh We demand that the Republican party, to wh ca we belonjr and whose welfare we cherish, shall take a firm and decided stand as the fr end of the home and the enemy of the favor of th pol cy and these measures.

We pledgre ourselves to do our best to cause the partt to take such a stand and we call upon all temperance men and alt fr ends ol humanity, of whatever partv or name, to jo with us in securing-these objects and in support of the Republican party so far as it shall adopt them.

The work of collecting data upon the recent earthquake phenomena has not yet reached a stage where the scientists of the geological survey wonid feel warranted in promulgating formal theories upon the subject It is necessary, in the opinion of geologists, to collect all information possible as to the time, intensity and direction of the shock, before any theories are promulgated. The geological survey is working industriously upon the collection of data and hopes within a few months to begin the preparation of a report which will thoroughly cover the subject Trof. McGee, while in Charleston with his photographic assistants, succeeded in obtaining some valuable photographs from which he hopes to calculate the force and direction of the earthquake. He now has an assistant in Charleston who is gathering information daily, and forwarding it here. The strange behavior of the quake makes it extremely difficult to determine its direction, but it is hoped that the further collection of data will remove the difficulties which now appear almost insurmountable.

Kansas has taken out seventeen national bank charters during the year ending June 1st. The total capital stock of the new banks is $905,000 with a circulation of $217,000. A Manhattan commission merchant has contracted with the farmers of Riley county and vicinity for 20,000 bushels of corn to be delivered shortly at twenty cents per bushel. Only six unorganized counties remain in Kansas. Of the six three have taken steps to organize.

The six unorganized counties are, Cheyenne, Sherman, Greeley. Wichita, Morton and St. John. The Atchison Globe states that a company with a capital of 50,000 will probably be organized in that city within a mouth to utilize the ten-foot vein of fire clay recently discovered in Atchison.

The Ladies Aid Society, of the Christian chnrch, of Winfield, Cowley county, have caused considerable talk in that city lately.

It seems that a colored band at Winfield attended the fair one day and upon applying at the ladies' stand fordin-ner, aud offering the regular price, they were told they could not be fed. The following is taken from Camp's Immigrant Guide The five counties of Harper, Sumner, Cowles, Butler and Sedgwick present a group which cannot be matched in Kansas soil for products, for population, for wealth and for intelligence. Yet it has only been a dozen years since we remember the same evil prognostication was made in regard to these counties, and the gentleman who are stating that the new counties are a barren waste, that the people who are going there are makeing a mistake, will many of them live to be laughed at as false prophets.

As soon as the barracks doors were closed behind the prisoners an attack was made upon the building by the mob. The outside shutters were town down and the windows smashed with bricks and paving stones. There were only four constables within the barracks, but they fired eleven rounds, killing one man and wounding several others. It is stated a woman was wounded aud has since died in her own house.
