Washington, Aug. 12.—The recent proclamation of the president, ordering cattle losseo3 off the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservations in forty days and hia refusal to extend the time, haa led to the statement from interested parties that the administration ii unfriendly to the cattlemen, and means to crush them. No such feeling, however, exists. ENGLAND. Niw York, Aug. 12. —The Waiter? Union Telegraph company ha* given to tUe press certain correspondence, of which the following is a summary: July 8, 1888, President 6recti telegraphs Pender in London: "Your letter received. We had some form of deal with the Balt.- more and Ohio suggested here, but no figures proposed. Difficult for us to propose tiguris without data. Cannot Baltimore and Ohio •give orders to admit examination of revenues and expenses!" She lifts I'nllclei on Her fJto for IM.OOI , which were All Issued la Ten Days — The Companies Imagine Fraud. Police Theories About the Crime—They Think That Herrlek'a Stepson Is the Guilty Man—Was It a Case of Suicide T It will Probably Not Throw Mueh IJghl on the Subject—Death of Lord Houghv ton — Members of Parliament Being Closely Watched. Gen. Sheridan's report, and the reports of special agents, convinced the president that the occupation of the reservation by cattlemen created all the dissatisfaction among the Indians. After being induced to make the leases, the Indians became dissatisfied because they were restricted from roaming dver the full extent of their reservations. The Indians concluded that they wanted all their lands, and the president and the secretary of the interior saw that the surest way *o maintain peace and keep them In a good temper was to restore their lands to them. The president's proclamation ordering the cattlemen «ff in forty days was issued, and then a strong pressure was brought to bear to secure an extension of time in favor of the lessees. This was refused. It is known, however, that the government does not expect the lessees to vacate the reservation within the prescribed time. It Is not deemed practicable for them to do so. If the cattle owners shall manifest an earnest disposition to comply with the proclamation, and by getting the'r cattle off the ressrvation restore this land to the Indians, they will, at the expiration of the forty days, be granted a reasonable (extension. But the deter mination of the government is that if the; sit down and -do nothing, counting upoi leniency from the administration, to pp them off by the the cava' — Th London, Aug. 13.—Lord Iddesleigh has issued a set of directions tor the inquiries C D1 the royal commission on the deprej* J tvm dition of trade. The directions excite almost a* much ridicule as the composition oi the commission and the whole scheme of the investigation have done. The royal commissioners are requested to inquire whether commerce and manufacturing industries have been transferred to other countries, and if so, how this is to bt accounted for, and they are particularly enjoined to ascertain if a like condition of depression exists in other countries. The stress which is laid upon the latter questioil foreshadows the probable report of the commission. It is now well known that the commission was devised purely to offset the Radical agitation among the workingmen. It is a part of the new Tory policy of conciliating the masses who are to exercise the franchisa for the first time next November, and has the same purpose as the bousing of the poor hill, the defeat of the medical relief amendment and the removal of the prisons from London to make room for cheap dwellings. It will doubtless sit until after the general elections, and will be pointed at by Tory stump speakers as an earnest of their party's wish to improve the condition of the industrial classes. Then it will publish a vast mass of testimony and a report telling the British workman and tradesman that although their present condition is desperately bad, and their future prospects even worse, they are only is the same plight as the workers in the countries across the channel and across the Atlantic. Its political purpose of making a few Tory voters may be attained, but as far as any moral or economic effort is concerned the commission is foredoomed to failure. Its composition is unpractical for the beet man of all parties have refused to join it. The Liberals will have none of it, and the great majority of Tories are very lukewarm upon the subject The result is that the first lord of the treasury has only succeeded in assembling a score of doctrinaires, most of whom are Protectionists masquerading as "Fair Traders," and none of whom has had any great training or research in economic problems to fit him for the work in hand. If sucha body of gentlemen should devise an affective panacea for the stagnation which has paralysed the shipyards, coal pit*, furnaces and mills of England it would be Uttle short of a miracle. Patkrson, N. J., Aug. ia—For several days u number of detectives have been busy unearthing what they regard as a husje conspiracy to swindle insurance companies out of large sums of money. The companies inteiested are the Equitable, New York Life, Mutual R'serve and Mutual Trust companies, of New York; Massachusetts Benefit, or Boston, and the Fidelity Mutual, of Philadelphia. The detectives believe that several persons, residents of Haled on, a suburb ot Paterson, are Implicated in tha frauds and that one case occurred there. FnooKLYN, Aug. 12.—Thomas J. Armstrong, who was arrested on suspicion ol bariug murdered Albert H. Herrick, hiD stepfather, at No. 889 Pearl street, remains lookjJ up in the Washington street station, "lhe policj guard him closely and will not per: nit any one to see him. It was said that h■ admitted having habitually carried a pistol but that he had none on the day of tbo murder. The most important of the day's revelations is the fact that Mr. Herrick refused to admit Armstrong to his lie use lost Saturday night, and that the two bad frequent quarrels. Some friends of the family, however, deny this, and say that they were very friendly. The house No. 889 Pearl street, where the murder occurred, was surrounded by a largj crowd all day. They stared curiously nt the silver door plate, which bore Mr. Herrick's name in black letters, and tried vainly to peer through the slats of the closely-shut blinds. A long black streamer of crape fluttered from the bell-pull and the whole house wore a deserted appearance. Late in the afternoon Mrs. Herrick returned from EUenville, where she had been spending tbo summer. She was utterly prostrated and unable to say anything concerning the crime or her son's alleged connection with it. The throng which had waited about the door gazed at her curiously but coldly and did not seem to be much affected by her sorrow. 8TILL VI8ITING THE TOMB. July 14, Pender replied that Garrett recused to exhibit the books and noennd to think the basis should be something i|:o that on which the Atlantic nnl Pacific aal American Union were absorbed. Many Curious Sightseers Make Pilgrim- Niw York, Aug. 12.—A trumpeter C:stepa out upon the knoll on which Camp Grant haa been established at sunrise and lustily bugled the reveille as another sosdier ran the flag up over the tomb of the dead general. A few moments later the entire camp was astir and the oaken doors of the sepulchre ".vere thrown open for the third time since the funeral, exposing to view the steel casket and the floral tributes about it. The guard was lelievel and all was in readiness lor the coming of the curious. They began to arrive by ones and twos before the aun ha 1 ascended far above the horizon, and as the day grew older increased in number so that by noon a line of sightseers, of whom the majority were women and a large proportion strangers, were passing the portal of the tomb. Later in the day a floral anchor was placed among the other funeral pieces. The anchor was the tribute of a southern regiment, sent through the editor of a morning newspaper who had forgotten to send tha name of tha regiment with the gift. The city hall was visited by hundreda of people who viewed with interest the dust covered draperies of ttfe interior and surveyed the tastefully decorated exterior. Schmidt's bust of Gen. Grant, which has been transferred from the rotunda to the governor's room, came in for its share of attention, and is a striking feature of the room. ages to Riverside Park. July 18, Oreen replied: "We could not think of a deal with Garrett or anything like the basis of American Union. He has no such amount of property. We cannot go beyond the cost value of the property as a basis." In this cas \ insurance in the Bum of $53,000 was effected on the life of Mra. Havana Bauer, who died seven months afterwards. The policies were all written within ten days. There are so many suspicious drcumatanoes in this and other cases that the companies demanded an exhumation of the bodies. In the Ijalt'don case companies interested have paid *26,000 of the insurance. The other companies, representing 128,090, decline 10 pay on the ground that fraud had been committed.Aug. 5, Green again telegraphs Pender: "I do not think it best to press Garrett. He wants a handsome profit, which we cannot afford to concede. It would only stimulate a now enterprise for the same result Theie must be an end to taking in at a profit." Aug. 10, Pender informs Green that the rumors in America that Garrett urged FielJ and Pender to buy the Baltimore and Ohio are untrue. Aug. 10, Green replies thai Ponder mast be misinformed. No one in the Western Union company has represented that any deal has been made. Oreen adds: "Garrett's card makes it appear that we wero pressing a negotiation, whereas your letter of June 83 shows that the "first overtme came from Garrett" Mm. Havana Bauer died at Haledon on the 18th of June, and the cause of death on the certificate was put down as peritonitis. The attending physician was Dr. Canadain and the undertaker Charles M. Rutan, of Paterson. Application for a transfer permit wa» granted by Register Baldwin, and the burial was iu Lou- Island Lutheran cemetery. Mrs. Bauer, formerly Miss Dawson, was married in this city to Louis Bauer, an insuri?ace,agent Bauer haa a brother, Charles. alto engaged in *ie insurance business. During the summer they reside at Haledon in a handsome residence, and in the winter make their home in this city. They took up their residence at Haledon in the beginning of the present summer. Jn June last there was sickness in the house, and it was said that Mrs. Bauer was critically ill and a physician was summoned tj i m N j w York. On Ju*e 18 a death occurred in the house ana the remains were inclosed in a handsome casket and removqjLto the cemetery on Long Island for burial. The informant took place, and application was at once made to the insurance companies for payments of the policies on Mrs. Bauer's life, and, aa stated, *25,000 was paid. The detectives went to Paterson soon after and, it Is alleged, secured evidence to show that the suspicions of the companies which refuted to pay were well based. When the details were made known to Coroner Robinson, of Long Island, he expressed his willingness to order the disinterment of the remains of Mrs. Bauer and those of another person on whose life }t was suspected fraudulent insnranoe had beev collected, and who lios buried in the same cemetery. As the cilnie—if crime had been committed—had taken place in Haledon, Passiac county, N. the detectives and Coroner Robinson went to Paterson, held a consultation with Coroner Hopson, of Passaic county, and it was decided to go lo Long Island and have the remains of Mrs. Bauer oxhumed. .Cu off by use o». Arj. * ireeldent preferred this course beouue h 'eared tbat if the cattle owrtre secured oni xtension in advance they weuld rest easy eeline they could get another extanriqn. He is determined to enforce the proclamation, but is willing to reasonably extend the time, provided the cattle men show that they are trying to get off the lands. June 17, Field, in London, telegraphed Gould in New York: "Garrett says he can arrange with Mackey to settle tariff for cables as well as land lines." The first olace where the detectives looked tor young Armstrong was at "Doctor" Heard's Windsor hotel, in Parkville. Mr. Herrick had been for some time proprietor of the hotel, and it still is known to many as "Herrick's." It used to bo a favorite resort of Herrick's stepson. Not finding him there they went to the residence of hie aunt, Mr*. Pierson, who live* on Park avenue, near Sixth street, Hoboken. There they arrested the young man. He turned pale when they told him what he was wanted for, but he stoutly denied having killed his stepfather, who, be said, was his best friend. He went to Brooklyn willingly. He had no pistol and said he had not carried one for several days. He said he had sneat most of Monday at Prospect pork and had left for Hoboken before the hour of the murder. Gould replies June 19 that the Baltimore and Ohio are losing money, and must finally succumb. He has no suggestion to make. Permission has been given by Col. Grant to the art st who photographed the tomb and its contents to retain the negative instead of destroying it Col. Grant said to Janitor Keese, of the city hall, on Saturday: "Tell the photographer to Sind half a dozen copies! of the picture to us at Mt McGregor, and tihenif he can make any money by so doing hdk my permission to sell as many copies ann chooses on his own account" The canopy which was arranged over the casket while the body lay in state in this city has been thoroughly cleaned and set up in the undertaker's ware rooms, where scores of peqple inspected it. Jesse Grant and his wife left the Fifth Avenue hotel for Mt McGregor yesterday. The interior department regards all tha leases of Indian lands by cattle companies as illegal, and will eventually wipe them all out It may be Indulgence will be extended to the lessees of the Cherokee lands than -any others, because the Cherokees are intelligent, educated Indians, and know how to govern their affairs. But ai to the wild nomadic tribes, it is quite sura that the cattle men will not be permitted to occupy their lands even under leases. In reply to another tilegram from Plaid, Gould says July 11 that an air of bankruptcy hangs over all the opposition companies. "If, however, Garrett allows examination of Baltimore and Ohio books, we will go through the figures with • view to a deal on the actual condition of the business.Loiro Branch, N. J., Aug. 12.—Mr. D.

He remarked that be was struck by the fact that nowhere in the correspondent* For Jay Gould to Aaswar. TEN LIVES SACRIFICED. The police are very reticent. They refused to say whether they had found the pistol. One policeman told a reporter that another woman had been found who had seen a young man climbing the behind Col. Carroll's residence within a few minntos after the shooting, and that she had positively identified Armstrong as the man. The police had also found out, he said, that a few days ago Armstrong had told two of his companions that he was short of money, and that he was going to get some at any risk. Armstrong has also admitted, it is sai.a that after being kept ont of the house (Saturday night by his father-in-law he did not return all day Sunday or Sunday night. Itinera Oo Into a Mine, Although They Wilkesbarrji, Pa., Aug. 13.—The breaking of the fan which supplied the West End Coal company's mines at Mocanaqua with fresh air caused the suffocation of ten miners. The boss knew of the break and so did the men, but, notwithstanding this, they went into the mine. About seventy-five men were in the mine at the time. The men repairing the fan were the first overcome with gas, and before the rest of the men fairly realized their danger more than twenty were unconscious. Those who could then escape did so. Superintendent John Teasdale, with a corps of men as a relief, went down the mine to assist the stricken men, but after being in the mine half an hour Teasdale tmi several of his men became unconscious, and were with difficulty rescued. Others Went down and, In the face of immense difficulties, and insplte of being continually overpowered with gas, brought out all but tjn men. Three of these were dead, and the others are beyond doubt dead. Know of the Danger. between Messrs. Field, Green, Gould and Pender was Mr. Garrett's actual language quoted. The statements attributed to Mr. Garrett were in each case 'given in the language of some of the persons interested in giving their own color to Mr. Garrett's position. In regard to Mr. Gould's assertion that the Baltimore and Ohio was losing money, Mr. Bates says that it is untrue and that sworn statements that the oompany is making money are on file in all the lav suits where the Western Union has tr.ed to prevent the Baltimore and Ohio from extending its system. ' PHILADELPHIA'S ABDUCTION CASE. Emperor William arrived at Saliburg at 5 o'clock on his way to meet the cur of Russia. The usual precautions were observed for the safety of his majesty during the journey from Qastein. A pilot engine ran ahead of the special train bearing the emperor and his Buito, the railway was lined with soldiers, all passenger and freight trains were sidetracked, and the way stations wore cleared and. occupied by troops during the passage of the imperUd train. The emperor bore the jenrney well and is evidently much stronger than when he left Berlin. As be was driven through the streets of Salzburg from the station to his temporary residence he sat firmly upright in his open carriage and frequently returned the military salute to the many cheers with which he was greeted. The Clsitoa Baby Found After a Pro- Philadelphia, Aug. 12.—The kidnapped Claxton baby, which was stolen from the two little boys who were taking it out for an airing on July 11, and the search for which has kept two city detectives and those of a private firm on the lookout ever since, »as found in the town of Chester, Pa., and returned to its parents. The discovery of the child's whereabouts is due ta the shrewdness of a peddler, named Philip Lieberman, who having heard of the (600 reward offered by the nyyor for the child's return, recalled a sust picioui circumstance in connection with a strange baby in Chester. After making pretty sure of his case, he reported to the child's father and the police. A detective, who wus sent out to look the matter up, was successful iq finding it and arrested the young colored woman who had it in her possession. 8he has bad the baby ever cicee the day on which it was stolen, hut the police will not allow her to tell her story until she is given a hearing. longed Search. The police theory is that Armstrong, who stole and pawned tome of his mother's diamonds some time ago, liad entered the hous* on a similar errand. They say that Herrick and his son were Utter enemies, and that the stepson thought the former was gradually obtaining the money left to him by his father. They also declare that a short time ago Herrick teat his stepson so unmercifully that the latter was compelled to go to sea. They also say that? the fact that fekiinine clothing found in the house immediately after the murder proved that young Armstrong had again beftn secreting disorderly people in the house during his stepfather's absence, that Mr. Herrick bad seen the clothes on the hat stand, where they still remain, and had gone downstairs to investigate, when Armstrong ran to the cellar, was followed by Mr. Herrick, and there received his death wound. FINANCIAL EXCITEMENT IN PITTSBURG The detecti vo« report-d that they had discovered that a man who recently died in New York was heavily insured by the bim person* who had secured the insurance on Mrs. Bauer's lite.

The insurance of 163,000 on the Ufa nf Mrs. Bauer bad been effected between Hov. SO and Dec. 6 of last year. To the nasal question in all applications of Mrs. Bauw, "Are you insured in any other company! If so, to what extent and in what company!'' the answer "No" was given in every instance. Whan the alleged Mrs. Baunr was taken ill. Instead of hiring a professional nurse, it is s*i3 that girls ware secured at an intelligence office in Paterson to take care of her.

Teasdale, the superintendent, has been unconscious since his being brought up and may die. The accident can be laid only to the foolhardiness of the miners. There waa a great deal oI quiet excitement among brokers and merchants oa Fourth avenue. Men whispered mysteriously to each other and shook their heads as they parted, while several prominent manufacturers and merchants were to be seen storing nervously about and dodging in and out of a certain bank with care written on every lineiment of their countenances. No one wouldjpiy • ward to the press about the causJ of the agitation, and the appearance of a newspaper man froae the speech in the mouths of even the moat talkative.

The woman was taken violently tick, with •very symptom of having taken poison. A physician succeeded in restoring her after two hours' hard work. The officers do not believe that she is the person who stole the child, and it is poasitde that other arrests in connection with the case will be mado. Friends and neighbors of the Herrick family scout the idea. They say that Armstrong, bad hi committed the deed, would not have escaped as the murderer did, but would have gone through Reb's saloon, which was connected with Uerrick's yard by a gate in the fence, which be had used a hundred when getting beer for his mother.
