The War Over a County Seat Divulges a Secret. Fort Pierre, S. D April 25. It hits just come to light that a scheme is on foot to stupendous secure the capi- tal of South Dakota and place-i- t upon the newly ceded portion of the great Sioux reservation. For a long time it has been known that a large body of the choicest land near Fort Pierre has been covered up and held by squatters, and it has just leaked out that it is their intention to vacate the land, which is situated nearest the mouth of the Bad river, and allow the stato land commissioner to lo-cate the land in behalf of the state. This tract of land comprises both bottom and table land, and rises up in beautiful terraces until the table land is reached and where the limit of vision is unbounded, and when platted and sold out by the state will afford a sufficient revenue to build all the state buildings. The scheme would not have leaked out had it not been that about tweuty-iiv- e of the business men of Pierre, tho capital, boomers, bankers and real estate hustlers, about two months ago started the town of Stanley and under-took to steal the county seal away from Fort Perry. Not having to exceed fifteen legal voters in Stanley, they took over about 100 rounders froiii Pierre, and by the liberal use of money effected a combination with the bolters from the regular convention and nearly captured the county scat. They only lacked lifteen votes. Tho people of Fort Pierre are exceeding wrathy and will do all they can to locate the capitol on the west side of the river, on the ground selected as above described. OLD LANDMARK GONE. Castle Garden, the. Landing Placs of Im-migrant Ho Longer Used for That Purpose.

The days of Castle (iardcu, so long cel-ebrated as the binding place of almost innumerable immigrants, are at an end, as the government has arranged for tho trausfer of theso peoplo at Governor's Islaud. So far as the beauty of tho lower part of tho city is concerned, th removal of Castle Garden will be a great boon in spite of the fact that very few peoplo are to lie found as residents in that quarter. There is even some talk of removing tho unsightly elevated road which runs through the eastern portion of Battery park. If this could bo done, and the old dilapidated buildings bo removed, one of the pret-tiest places of resort to be found any-where in the world would be put up. It has been proposed in some quarters to bring the battery back to some of its old time glories "by holding summer concerts there. The old residents of New York, of an artistie turn of mind, never tiro of talking of ,tho days when Caslle Garden was really a concert and opera hall of the highest class. The echos of Jenny Li lid's voice may almost be heard in the narratives of theso peo-ple, a glory which to them seems to be lost forever ami for tho rcturiiiug of which they are always scheming. MWI.

Tho News reporter told her he expected to see her in an Invalid chair, and sho laughingly remarked: Most straugrrs do. I am 84 years old, but I have never been better in my life. Good health was tho legacy of my family. My mother completed three score years and my father lived to be 87. I cannot tell you why I am so well, because I am nothing of a dietarian. I am constantly being scolded for my imprudence. I almost live ou fruits. I have oranges within reach of my bed, to eat through the night." ' How did you enjoy your visit to Austria!" "Very well. I was only in Vienna a short while. Most of the time I spent traveling through Germany end Aus-trian states. We went to Beyreuth to hearParifal, to Wurtembcr. Dresden, Ischel, Corlslmd and other places." Inquiry was made about the remlnls-c-uccs Mrs. Grats preparing and about which she . Jverv reluctant to talk. '"I have been working on a Ixmk for some time, hut it is purely a family vol-ume that I waut for the children. I had no Idea of publishing It. I wanted to leave It to my family as a sort of history, and If they cared to publish It they could do so. Our homo life has been so broken that I felt that tho children know but little about It except what they learn from print. It was to en-lighten then, correct some error and add new material that I begun this work. My people worn born In Penn-sylvania ami made the Journey to tiie Missouri when that section of the territory was known as "The American Wilderness." They went down the Ohio on Hal bmiU.ofhe trip from Shaw neetown to St. Louis was made by carriage. My father had a pretty place, I lived In sunny Missouri when my brother went to the West point, and when ho brought Lieutenant Grant homo to spend tho holidays. We had many family parties In those days, about which my sons are fully Ignorant. In those days 1 was Jealously guarded and never moved ten feet from tho house without my brother or servant. One summer day we wrro going to a morning wedding, and Lieutenant Graut was also Invited. The day was beautiful, the loads were a Utile heavy from a previous rain, but the sun shono In splendor.. We had to cross a little bridge that spanned the ravine, and Iwheu we reached it, I was surprised and concerned to find the gulch swollen. It was a most unusual thing, the water reaching to tho bridge. I noticed, too, that Lieutenant Grant wa very quiet. I asked several times if bu thought It dangerous to cross, II" assured nie Iu bis own brief way that It was perfectly safe, but Just as we reached tho old bridge I said, 'now If anything happens I shall cling to you, no mailer what you say to tho contrary.' He said all right, aiid we wrro over tho planks In les than a minute. Then his mood changed, he became more social, anil Iu asking me to be his wife used mv threat. Then we were very quiet, and at the house that evening never said a word of our secret. After supper be went back to his regiment, and a few day later Gen-eral Taylor sent him to luisiaua. I in was too shy to ask father, so he waited till he was stationed and wrote to him. Father never answered the letter. I was a favorite daughter and ho thought army lifu would not suit mo. The next year be came back on leave pf absence, asked for my hand and my father said yes, My soldier lover Was in and about Mexico for four years. In-cluding tho war. Every mail brought me a letter. Every one full of sweet nothings, love and war, and now and then some pressed leaves and flowers, homo were written on drumheads captured from the Mexicans. 1 read each one every duy until the next one came, and then I laid It away In a little lox.

And then the public life; I wish I could reproduce the one bun dredth part of tho bright companies we had together, but my memory is treacherous that I have begun with my mother and father and tiuished with the while house, telling many truJhs that I should not care to see in print. For Instance we were very happy n the old mansion, for It wa the only place that we had all been together for any length of time. I remember how I cried and how the General btiighfd when the cars rolled out of the V aslnn-to- n depot. It wa more than I eoiild bear, and I went to our state room and cried like a baby.

Hjs refusal resulted in his attempted assassination . Frank S. Johnson, of tho Johnson-Lock- e Mercantile company of San Francisco, is now in New York. In dis-cussing the objects of the World's fair, Mr. Johnson said that its being held in Chicago would greatly bcuelit the mer-chants of that state, who are asking tho legislature to appropriate $500,000 in aid of the fair. Then the big exhibit of the Golden state's products could be shown to great advantage Undoubt-edly if such a sum were appropriated by the stato private subscriptions would also swell the amount.

It is learned from a reliable source that Governor Eagle has collected through a private detective agency evi-dence which, it is claimed, will convict tho assassin of John M- - Clayton. Gov-ernor Eagle rcf ises to make any state meat concerning the evidence he has secured and no part of it will be made public until it is submitted to the con-gressional investigating committee.

NO WHITE CAPTIVES, A Denial of Recent sensational WiNNti-Kii-, April 25. Rev. Father Lncombe, missionary at tho Indian res-ervation at Mr Load, writes a strong let-ter to tho press in regard to tho sensa-tional reports in (he newspapers about white cirls alleged to have been stolen by Indians and exposed to a falo worse than death, lie says: There are no grounds for the report about white girieaptives in our ramps, on any reservation. The Indians do not steal anv white children. They have plenty of theirowu born in their Vamps. Ask the suuaws and they will tell you with a smile, nuyourlmiuiriug, who are the fathers of such and such a child with prepossessing features. Some-times they might give vou the names of the gentlemen using their money and wasting their honor in the work of de-moralization. Instead of foolish to recover the captive girls from the Indians. I would rattier suggest to tho proper authorities to. compel while fathers of the tlaxen-hair- s to provide for their offsprings, ami not to have the government bear this burden. I would moreover, suggest that the white men living materially with Indian women be forced by law to marry them law-fully. We would not hear so much about "white captives," and the work of missionaries would be mado easier and more successful then. TlirV Wil l.

THE BIGHT VIEW OF IT, Wordy Discussion ou Tariff Subjects Will Not Be Heard. Washington, D. C April 25. Chair-man McKinlcy expects to ask the house to begin consideration of tho revenue bill in about two weeks, probably on May 0, and ho hopes that it will be disposed of by June 1, or about seven weeks earlier than the date on which the "Dark Lantern" bill passed the house two years ago. It is the general opinion that "general debate" on the bill will not consume much time, at least in daysessions of the house, but that every man who de-sires to express his views will have op-portunity to do so. The practice of hold-ing night sessions to discuss tho revenue question was adopteil two years ago and was found to be satisfactory. Probably fewer men will care to mako speeches than were anxious at that time. The truth is that representatives as well as most other people are weary of tariff debates, and impatient for action, nearly every man realizes that ho can contribute nothing new or interesting to the discussion of either side of the main question, and that few people will listen to or read tariff speeches.

Attorney General Miller informs the treasury de-partment that there are nineteen Chi-namen In custody of the United States marshal of Washington to be tried for coming into the United States iu vio-lence of the Chinese extradition act. He recommends, in accordance with tho suggestion of tho secretary of state, that notwithstanding the presumption that these Chinamen euterVd the United States across the British border, that they be returned to China at the Gov-ernment's expense for the reason that they could not .bo returned to British territory without the payment of a head tax of &50 each; and even then, they might probably again evade tho vigi-lance of the United States officers and re turn to this country.

Tammany hall lias a new candidate for presidential honors in 1892. That fam-ous political organization has concluded that neither Cleveland nor Hill will be an available candidate before tho niv tional convention, and it has therefore looked over the held with the view of discovering a man whom it could support and whose chances of success are at least fair. The organ-ization had never much use for Cleve-land. Ho was nominated in Chicago iu the face of its protest, and was elected, notwithstanding its covert hostility to him. When ho became president he kept the loaves and iishes away from Tammany. The breach betwecu them was not bridged when they traded him to get votes for the Democratic candid-ate for Mayor. Hill would be perfectly satisfactory to Tamauy, but it is known tho Cleveland men will prevent his nomination at all hazards. Tammany has, therefore, picked out a new man, who is not a New York man, but whom he thinks all the factions in the state will support. Its choice Is Chief Justice Fuller. He will be satisfactory to the Cleveland men and also to the Hill fol-lowing. Although born in Maine, he is a resilient of Chicago, and will, there-fore, in addition to New York, receive the support of the western slates. Tam-many entertains no doubt of his elec-tion.
