CI 11ENNE, July Cred Cloud and his band
are camped on Tongue river, north of Fort
Fetterman, and it is believed he is collecting
the tribes for the purpose of waging war on
the whites. The Cheyennes killed three white
men at Sweet Water river recently, and the
Arapahoes stole forty head of stock near the
South Pass. One of the Arapahoes was killed
during the fight. All of the northern Cheyen-
mes and Arapahoes who have hitherto been
peaeeable, announce their intention to go on
the warpath soon. Capt Dawes has returned
from Rawling having found on the war path
100 miles south of that point, camp of Utes
who probably committed the recent depreda-
lions near the Pacific railroad

GDEHK OF WAR

PARIS. July 6.-The lie Pays, imperialist,
publishes a violent article crying for war
France it declares has recent diplomatic defeat;
as we'll as Waterloo defeats to avenge, and
Erenchmen are ready to take the same road tC
lara and Berlin, which their fathers took.
French journals call attention to the fact
that German fleet is now cruising in the
Mediterranean. The Berlin press had repre-
scented that it was simply on an excursion, but
editors.
There was an exciting scene in the corps
legislatif to-day. After the declaration by the
Minister OF foreign affairs. deputy Picard de-
manded further information for the Chamber
He said it was the first duty of the deputies
not to allow France to become engaged in war
without the assent of her representatives M.
Cremieux supported the demand, and added
that war now meant war with Europe. He
protested that he aud his friends deemed peace
imperative, unless their own and the dignity
OF France required war.
M. olivier in reply said that the declaration
of the Duke de Grammont left not a doubt
that the government ardently desired peace
He felt sure that the declaration would secure
peace. The Chamber must know that the gov
eminent sought to attain its object in straight
forward manner. Tit wanted war it would say
so. 1t would not engage France without con-
sulting the Chambers The latter should de-
eide. If they had no confidence in the Cabi-
net they must throw it aside and confide the
interests OF the country to others deemed more
worthy of taking care of them.
Deputy St. Hilaire asked by what right Gen.
Prim offered the crown of Spain to the Prince
of Hohenzollern.
M. Olivier said he could not answer the
question as he was not yet informed of the de-
tails of the negotiation. Some of the deputies
exclcimed that the Minister of Foreign Al
fairs had been impudent in his declaration.
M. AragO wished TO speak, but the Presi-
dent declared the debate closed. M. Arago
replied that the government must be afraid of
discussion. He accused it OF having made Ho-
henzollern King and then declaring war. The
President demanded order and endeavored to
bring up the budget as the question for de-
bate, but the deputies replied with patriotic
sentiments that the Chamber was too much
excited to discuss finances and the sitting dis
solved.

and Northwestern Railroad during the year
1869 were as follows: $4,000 600; miles oper-

cost per mile of this road will average $50, 900.
The earnings of the best road in Europe-be-

were $26,6s2 per mile. This looks well, but
when we remember that this road cost $16S 900

The Burlington, Cedar Rapids, and Mime
