C, Aug. H. This place, the hcadipiar tvrs ill the Cherokee Indians in the coun ties of Swain, Jackson and Cherokee, was the scene of quite n commotion this morning. The reboot for the lu-iintcn-nnec and education of cighlv Indian youths is located here. Tor the past nine years it has been in charge of Mr. Spray, who has given eminent satisfac tion to a large portion of the Indians. The government has for a number of years appropriated $111,000 for the maintenance of the school. Itcconiing dissatisfied with the conduct of affairs on the partof the present superintendent. Mr. Spencer was appointed by the civil service commission to take charge. He arrived at Yellow Hill a week ago, but Mr. Spray refused to give up the keys. Mr. Spencer look lodging at the mess hall and awaited development. Mean time a meeting ot tliceouiicil was called on last Saturday. This council consists of a dozen delegates representing the ellow Hill section and other com munities. The meeting of the council at tracted finite a large number of inter ested spectators. After a thorough dis cussion of the matter, the council con eluded to uphold Mr. Spray, even though the government should withdraw the ap propriation, amounting this year to $18,000. Considerable feeling was mani fested and some language more forcible than elegant, was used ou the occasion. On Sunday nlternoon Mr. Silencer served notice on Mr. Spray that he would take posession on Monday or be found trvinir. Mr. Spray iliu not care to uis- uiss the matter on Sunday; but when the attempt was made tins morning by the new appointee to take charge, he nrmiy refused to yield the keys. Somewhat disconcerted, Mr. Sieiiccr left for liryson City, the county seat, to secure the services of the sheriff in re jecting him. How the sheriff can aid him it is difficult to see, but whatever tlie outcome the effect of this affair at the reservation will lie deplorable. If the Cherokces persist in retaining Mr. Spray, it is not likely the appropriation will be continued and thus the school will be crippled if not killed. If Mr. Spencer takes possession he will not have the moral support and perhaps not the pat ronage of the Cherokee . At any rate a breach has been made which will re iuirc years to heal. The Cherokces take much interest in politics, being pretty evenly divided be twien democrats and republicans. Kx Chicl Niinrod Smith sides against Mr. Spray and his son-in-law Illy, formerly agent, sides with Sptay. Mr. Smith is a man of line physique am! pleasing man ners and address, withal "one of na ture's noblemen." The present chief, Stillwcll Sewauuook, is also a man of commanding presence and superior intel ligence. The reservation consists of Hindoo acres ol land iu the counties above named and is peopled by 1,100 Chero kces who seem to be iu a fairly well-to-do condition. Their houses are neat log cabins surrounded by well cultivated fields id corn, and having a general ap pearance of thrift in striking coin vast with some of their white neighbors. They raise nearly everything consumed on the reservation, and formerly some tobacco for export, but this industry has been abandoned because of early frosts, and the barns built at great labor and expense arc useless. Apart from the school troubles and the political dissen sions, which, by the way, do not keep pace with those of the whites, the Cher okces seem a very happy and prosperous people. CANADA HACKS MOWN. The Discriminating Htlia e Sys tem la Canal Tolls Abolished, Ottawa, Out., Aug. 7. Just as the United States has levied its retaliation rille and drawn a bead nn Canadian canal discriminating tolls, the Dominion government, lollowing the prudent ex ample of Davy Crockett's coon, says: "Don't shoot; I'll come down." At the cabinet meeting yesterday Pre mier Abbott, Secretary of" State Chap leau, Minister of Customs Howell, Min ister of Agriculture Curling, Messrs. Smith and Ijuimct being present, it was decided to abolish the rebate of 18 cents a ton on grain shipped by the St. Law rence canals to Montreal, and to levy on American and Canadian vessels alike a toll of 20 cents a ton on all grain pass ing through the W'elland and St. Law rence canals, whether bound for ports in Canada or the Mates. This removes the cause of the I'nited States' complaint of discrimination. But it does not reduce the rate American yes sclls must pay. It simply, by allowing no rebate, in effect mnkes the Canadian craft pay more. N, V. World. THi: ALABAMA ELECTION. Kolu Says he Will Coutest ou the (round of I-'raud. IIikmincham, Ala., Aug. 7. The of ficial count has been reported iu fifty- two of the sixty-two counties, and Jones, regular democrat, is ahead by just 10,- 000 majority. The estimate on the re maining counties is very close, and if no votes are thrown out lor irregularities Jones will wind up with about 12,00 minority. Of the total number of counties, Jones has earned twenty-nine and Kolb thirty-seven. Of the governor's counties, thirteen have a majority ol ne groes and sixteen a maioritv of whites. Ul Kolbs counties, one has a large ne gro majority and five small majorities, wiuie iiuriy-one nnvc large white ma jorities, Kolb seems to have a majority ol the white vote in the state bv from 2,000 to 5,000, while Jones has n lorgc majority 01 the negro vote N.

Ily author ity of the house of representatives Mr. I lolinan prints a speech in the Congres sional Record today dealing with the appropriations made at the last session of congress, Irom a democratic stand point. Mr. Holmnn says: "The appropriations made ut this ses sion of congress, including permanent appropriations, showarcductionof$33, 520,291, under the appropriations made at the last session of congress, or a reduc tion equivalent to $100,000 to each con gressional district in the UnitcdStatcs;but lor purposes of comparison the amount of the rivcrand harbor bill, $21,154,613, should be deducted from the appropria tions of this session for the reason that no river and harbor bill was passed at the last session of congress, against the appropriations of which those made at this session should be legally contrasted. Without the river and harbor bill, the appropriations of this session are $54, G82.909 less than the whole appropria tions made at the second session of tbe fifty-first congress." RADICALS AND THIRD PARTY The Two Organizations Fl 1I11K lTp a Deal In Tennessee. Nasiivii.i.e, Aug. 9. The state dem ocratic convention was called to order at noon today. There is nothing to do except nominate Judge Peter Turney, the only democratic candidate for governor, thereby ratifying the action of the pri maries. Governor Buchanan, the alli ance democrat, withdrew his name from consideration by this convention several days ago, it being evident that Turnev had secured a majority of votes at the primaries. It is thought the absent del egates, about 500 or 000, are opposed to Turney and will not support him if Gov. Buchanan will run as an independ ent, A statement from Knox villc this morn ing which may have some political sig nificance, was that ell'orts ure to lc made to have the alliance support Win stead, the republican candidate for gov ernor, and in return the republicans will support alliance candidates for the leg islature. Thus nn effort will be made to control that body and, if successful, Buc hanan is to be elected to the United States senate.

President Rice of the Port Payne coal and iron com pany, at Fort Payne, Ala., last night re ceived a telegram that W. R. Sheltoiij of Fort Payne, had been appointed receiver of the company on application of the minority bond holders. Mr. Kicc says: "The move is undoubtedly made for the benefit of the bond holders and it is undoubtedly intended to turn the prop erty over to them for the small amount they have invested, about one-tenth the cost of the property. The action is nn outrage on the stockholders and all par ties who have invested money in Fort Payne, and this move will result in a to tal loss to 1,750 stockholders. No no tice was given the company that such a move was to be made, so no defence could be offered and the company was debarred from showing to the court that the applicants had not good ground for their application. This action is an in sult to the committee of fifteen who were selected to act for the interests ol tbe stockholders, and who were given full powers. TEN THOl'SAND DOLLARS.
