New York, July 8.-A dispatch
from Vincent Collyer, dated Leav-
enwOrth, yesterday, says that he found
the Moqui Indians hOspItable, indus
trious and peaceable, their village,
which is within u few days walk of
Prescott, ArizOca,. being built of
stone houses, some of them two and
three stories high. They desire tools
and school teachers. COllyer further
says that the LeOgatria and Apache's
chiefs had arranged with the chiefs
of the Navajos for q council at Gacol-
ieate, Arizona, on the 9th OF July, to
come in and settle peacea bly, on or near
their reservation. AS no officers of
our Government could conveniently
attend the meeting, L offered to go,
but General Getty replied that it
would, in his opinion, be attended
with so much personal danger that
larger escort would be required than
he could well afford to give, and he
understood the chiefs would come to
Santa Fe.
| think a lasting peace could now
be arranged with the Apaches.
Quite large party of Utes have
been out on the plains killing buffalo.
Comanches, and were whipped, losing
three or four warriors They had ar
rived at home, at Mad Wells, on the
first Of July.
A report reached here to-day from
Denver that a party Of three huu-
dred Utes had gone out on a similar
expedition. Whether the same re
ferred to the above or not L do not
know.
The late depredations on the plains
were committed by remnants of tribes.
The bulk of the Cheycnues and
Arapahoes, whom Generals Sheridan
and Custar encountered last Winter,
have gone to their reservation. L do
not believe we shall have another
Indian war.
FrieRd Hoag and the Quakers are

CHICAGO. July S,-Last night the
southwark bound freight train on the
illinois Central Railroad ran off the
track three miles below kankakee, il
is supposed from the explosion of the
boiler. The engineer was found lying
beneath the wreck burned to a cinder.
There was scarcely human trace left
of the unfortunate man. The fireman
was also badly aided, and 1t Is ru-
mored that a brakeman was also
killed, but it Is not authenticated.
Dispatches from Wisconsin say the
last few days of pleasant weather
have greatly improved the prospect.

The Powell Exploring RxpeditiOn.

CHICAGO, July 8.-The fate of the
Powell Exploring Expedition seems
10 be invoked 10 deeper mystery than
ever. The Tribune this morning pub
llsles dispatch from Mrs. Powell.
vile Of NJ j. Powell, dated at Detroit
last evening. IN answer to an inquiry
from the editor of the Tribune. as to
whether John Sumner, to whose re-
port the story OF the disaster Is at
trIbuted by the Omaha RepubIicGn.
bcioBged to her husband 5 expedition.
Mrs. Powell says that John Sumner
was a member of the expedition. Still
Mrs. Powell does not believe the
Story, and evidently does not believe
1t comes from John Sumner. There
Is CLEARLY good reason for her doubts,
.as there would probably have been
something heard directly from John
Sumner ere this, had the expedition
been lest and he left as its sole sur
vivOr. As, however, nothing direct tly
has been heard from Major Powell
since his letter to the Tribune of May
9th, the question has narrowed down
tO-thls; Has John Sumner actually
returned from the expedition and re-
ported its loss on Green River late in
june, which story Risdon got hold Of
and appropri ted. The story attrib-
uted 10 Sumner is only another YER
sion of The lying invention Of Rlsdon,
and which be eft behind il Dakotah.
It can only oe settled by news of
Sumner, or assurance from Green
River City that he has not returned
there.
