Tho contest is still over thi method of pooling the Nebraska business The resolution to pool the Nebraska busi ness and leave the matter of percentage U arbitrators to bo hereafter appointed wai ngain offered. An amendment was madi by tho representative of the Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul road to the effect thai the question of the local business ol the Union Pacific road should also be left tC the arbitrators to determine whether it should be given to the tripartite roads ex clusively. This was defeated, the Burling ton and Northwestein, roads voting in th« negative. The representative of the Burlington road then moved thatall Southwestern and trans-Missouri pools be abrogated and abolished from this date. This waf likewise defeated. The afternoon sesten was again taken up with the vexed quastiou of the proper apportionment of theNebrask* business without reaching a result. Tho mo tion was then renewed to form pools on Call fornia business, one pool to be composed o! the roads east of the Missouri river and tht other of the roads westDof the Missouri river. TUis was agreed to unanimously, which waf a concession on the part of the Burlington, which hod once refused to consent to the fo mation o(aiiy pool until the Nebraskr qu slion was finally disposed of. It wa: agreed in case thel.nes couhi not agree upon a proper apportionment that the entiro question should be referred to Joseph F. Tucker, as arbitrator, whose ftnd'ng was to be binding. '1 he Nebraska question will again be taken up, as there appears no possibility that a Colorada pool can ba formed until the Nebraska question and the exact attitude of tho tripartite are determined. The Combination This Time in a Ottawa, Out., Sept 18.-*Advioea fron: Like Teniascamniguo give a deplorable account of the condition of the Algonquin Indians in that region. Money granted by the Dominion government to relieve these Indians lias been appropriated by agents of the Hudson Bay company and the middn. men, wliilo tho Indians are left to starve. Thirteen of these unhappy creatures wore last year allowed to die of hungbr and cold at the very threshhold of Longpoint fort, situated on Gimkey lake, and many got through tho winter by eating refuse from the lumber camps and picking up flour or other provisions dropped from su pply sleighs. This stato of affairs i3 attributed to tho action of the government in appointing tlu Hudson bay officials to distribute among the Indians annual supplies entrusted to their care, and it is believed that the position of Indian agent is used mostly to give the agents a chance to pilfer. tial Coasts.

Washikoton, Sept. 1&—There has been so much mystery thrown around the defalcation arrest, flight and subsequent conceal ment of Capt. Howgate that the mere men tion of his D une causes a flutter in the Signal Service bureau, and more or less uneasiness in certain ofHces in tho treasury department The statement of tho reason why the suits against Howgate's bondsmen were so long delayed, as published, was read with interest in tnese departments, yet when Chiof Signal Officer Hftzen was asked what he had to say about tnj matter he replied by asking with an air of astonishment: "What matt"rf' Later in the conversation Gen. Hazen admitted that requests for information regarding Howgato's accounts had come to the signal service bureau from the treasury department, but he declared that they were "informal and so indeflrrite that they could not be answered." The only propei channel for such requests was through the secretary of war, and none had come in that wtiy. Anything that the treasury department wanted concerning Howgate's accounts would be furnished, and furnished promptly, if it was applied for in the proper way, through tho war department Gen. Hazcn then volunteered the information that in response to one of the "informal" requests of the treasury department he had sent an officer conversant with the Howgate matter to talk about it with certain treasury official. This statement was confirmed by tho pfflojr, who said he failed to detect any special z.-n. in the matter on the part of the treasury men. Gen. Hasendid not explain why ii was proper to respond to the "informal" request and not proper to furnish the trau scripts asked for in the same way. London, Sept. 18.—Advices from Fon Chow report another en;agemeut at the Kinpai forts, which resulted in a signal victory for tho French. Shortly after sunrise, tho French Arret, under command of Admiral Courbot, was sighted off tho mouth ol tho Mill river. Be ore 8 o'clock a large body of marines were landed a short distance below the Kinpai Pass : ortificationa. While t'.ie fleet begun a fierce! bombardment of tho forts, the marines attacked the neighboring Chinese camp.:. The Chinese were taken completely by surprise. They made a desperato attempt to beat off the invading forces, but seemed to lack a leador. They outnumbered the marin s four to one, and a partial lin3 of battle w»s formed to tho south of the fortifications. Before it could be completed, however, tho French fleet succeeded in securing a good range, and a score of shell drove the Chinese back within the works. Boston, Sapt. 18. —A will case of except ional interest, involving the disposition of the estate of the late Martin Milmore, is pending in the probate court of this city. Mr, Milmore was by profession a sculptor, and a recognised genius. He had executed some noted work at Rome, and the beautiful soldier's monument on the Common is an illustration of his skill and talent. His death occurred in July, 1883, and it was found that his estate was worth about $100,- OOD. Two wills are now in dispute, and tne circumstances incident to the presentation of the latter are of a very remarkable character.

Washington, Sept. 18.—It is hardly possible that there is any connection between the vacant treasury portfolio and the return from France of Minister Morton. It was known here some weeks ago by Mr. Morton's friends that he intended to oome home on a leave of absence, it being understood that the visit was for the purpose of entering into the campaign. It has been known that ho has been earnestly desirous of taking an active part in the contest now going ou, and that he hud asked permission to temporarily leave his post for that purpose.cept the Portfolio.

B., for Fenarth Roads with a cargo of lumber, struck ou oue o. til i Tusket Islands, near Yarmouth, and was afterwards brought to this port for repairs. When tho repairs were completed the crew refund to proceed with her to Penartli Roftdj oil the ground that she was unseawortliy. The steamer was re examined ani tha port officers declared her to be fit t proceed, but tho men still decliued to go C n her. A new crew was brought out from EnglCu.d and the vessel cleared for Penartli Roads. The ship's former crew have reported to the admiral of the port. They say they can prove the Colonsay to be uuC seaworthy, that many of them have wages due them amounting to $600, but that they are prepared fo sacrifice their all rather than risk their lives. In lb-- first will the bulk of tho property is bequea hod to Mrs. Sarah Milmoro, the mother, and James and Charles Milmore, brothers of the deceased. The sum of $5,000 is also .eft to tho city of Boston in aid of the poor. Mr*, llary E. HanlJf is left $3,000 an I Miss Haiiley, her daughter, $1,000. The most important item of difference between the first and second wills is that under the latter Mrs. Hanley receives about $10,G0J, which comes "mainly from the bequests to the brothers as named in the first wi)L . Mr. Morton was understood to express a willingness three years ago to retire from business, in order to qualify himself for the secretaryship in President Garfield's cabinet, bat it is extremely improbable that he would care to make the sacrilic) in order to accept that oili 'O for six months. Unless he does retire from business, ho is ineligible for appeiutment to the position. His friends here asJert privately that there can be no foundation for tho rumor connecting Mr. Morton's name with the treasury at this time. *AKlKfi POWDER THE VICAH GENERAL SHOOTS At u Uurglar Who Breaks Into His Parsonage. Thoy, Sept. 18—About 2:45 o'clock yesterd .y morning Hose Tilhaman, a domestic employed at tjt. Peter's parsonage, adjoining Bt. Peter's church, on North Second street, was awakened by a bright light in the dining room. Thinking that sho might' have neglected to turn it out c 11 retiring she got out of bed, and as she did so she heard some one walking in the nC xt room. Suppo ing thai it was one ot' the priests, she exclaimed, "I: that you, Father Killilea?" Receiving nt answer, she walked to the adjoining room and saw a bti-unger, of whose features she obtained a gxDd view, extinguishing the gas The girl was no coward, and exhibited great presence of miud. Lighting a candle she run into the hallway and shouted lustily to Fathers Ludden, Heifernau and Kilillou tint there was a burglar in the house. Fathers HclTernan and Killilea were soon on the B[iot, and Father Ludden, who is vicar general oi the diocese, seizod a double-barreled breechloading shotgun anil took a position, giving him command over all approaches to the street. Meanwhile the burglar had descended to the Lasemont and attempted to pass out of the door, but, failing to do so, he ran to a window and crawled through into a passageway. Father Ludden saw him, and, discharging one barrel to alarm the police, he covered the thief with the other and said: "If you move a step Pll shoot." The burglar attempted to crawl out of the priaBt's range, and Father Ludden fired again. At this juncture two policemen appeared and captured the burglar. Secretary Lincoln detailed at length tin thoroughness and promptness with which Geri. Hazm had unearthed the Howgate frauds and furnished the evidence upon which the officer was indicted, and declared that he would have to see substantial proofs before be would believe that the chief signal officer had not promptly aided the proper authorities in any suit against Howgate or the bondsmeu. Like Gen. Haten, Mr. Lincoln laid special stress upon the fact that any request for information from the signal qlttce should be made through him, and he was unabl j to recall seeing any Buch document. The secretary added that the chief thing to be done Was to get Howgate into the (HpiCentiary. If tho newspaper writers who profaned to know thut Howgate was within a day's journey of the capital would let him know n here the ox-officer was be would have a detective after him very soon. Tiwra was no fond from which the expenses of securing Howgate could bo pal I, but the secretary would pay the money out of his own pocket, and trust to congress uD reimburse him. Counsel for Mrs. Hanley declined to give any detailed statement at present He said, however, that the burden of proof as t D tho validity of the will is with the heir-at-law. Mrs. Hanley, he said, did not care about the money involved, as she is already quite wealthy. Upon being pressed for an explanation as to the relations that existed between Mrs. Hauley and Mr. Milmorc, counsjl reluctantly admitted thatshe was his betrothed and if be had lived another month they would have b en married. London, Sept.. 18.—Great surprise is expressed at the news from China reporting that Admiral Courbet landed a force on the Min river, and again attacked the fortifications at Kinpai Pass.
