Their ADMINISTRATIONS Powwow I'm
the Indian Territory - More Talk,
Much Eat, Heap Presents.
'A WASHINGTON. D. c., April 81, 1873.
At the conference last FAN in this city with the
Kiowas they earnestly appealed to the government
for the release from the Penitentiary OF Texas OF
their chiefs. Big Tree and Santanta promising not
only to remain on their reservation and behave
themselves peaceably, but to restore all stolen
property and captives in their possession. The
government promised to exert at some future day
its good offices In their behalf with the Governor
OF Texas for the relief OF their chiefs, pro-
vided they should fulfil their promises as
above stated. Since that time the Indians have
done as they promised; but owing to the Modoc
massacre and the consequent excitement, espe-
cially In lndianlocalities, the government Is not
now advising the release OF Big Tree and Santanta
council IS soon TO take place between the gov
eminent agents and the Kiowas, Comanches and
other Indians, within the Indian Territory, when
the subject OF the release OF the chiefs win doubt
less again be introduced; but whatever may be
done in the premises will be under the direction OF
the President and the Secretary OF the Interior.

A COLLECTORS TREPIDATION.

DR.. Smith, After Being Regularly APP
Richmond, Afraid or Losing the Place.
RICHMOND Va, April 81, 1879.
There has atterly been quite newspaper Jurore
in regard to the Internal Revenue Coectorship OF
this, the Third district, whether DR.. f. H. Smith,
who was nominated by the President and con-
firmed by the Senate, or whether Rush Bur-
CESS the present collector should hold
the ONCE of collector for the ensuing four
years. Under the legislation Of Congress the
ofice OF assessor, which Mr.. Smith now holds ex.
pres on the 10th Of May next and it would be,
commission Of collector to DR.. Smith until his term
OF ONCE as assessor has expired; per contra 1t is
represented by the friends OF Burgess that the
President has refused to issue the commission OF
Dr. Smith as collector and they allege on authority
purporting to come direct from the President, that
MIR. Burgess will be retained as collector OF this
district.
The case creates great deal OF interest here,
and IL Is confidently asserted that DR.. Smith, who
has been both nominated by the President and
confirmed by the Senate, will succeed to the once
on the Goth OF May, when the assessors ONCE Is
abolished and the new revenue law goes into
effect. l have the best and most positive as
surances for stating that neither the Presi-
dent nor the Revenue Department have
taken any action that would indicate any pur-
pose OF the President to make q conflict with the
Senate, and II Is therefore to be presumed that the
commission OF collector will be issued to DR.. Smith
soon as his present term Of Office expires, on the
10th OF May next. There seems to be no case on
record where, after nomination by the President
and confirmation by the Senate, that commission
of any officer In the civil service has been withheld,
and no occasion for different action presents itself
In this case.

Carbine Policy.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 1873.
Details OF the Peace Conference at Camp Verde,
Arizona, on the 9th of April have been received
tonight. The conference resulted in the uncon-
ditional submission and surrender or two OF the
worst bands OF Apaches. This peace was brought
about through the complete rout Of bands OF
Apaches who have defed the government for
twenty years past. Over two hundred OF their
warriors have been killed In the last campaign In
the Businesses Of the Apache country.

chief Of the Tonic Apaches, with $50 men, women
and children, joined the council and the warriors
gave up their arms when the talk began. The
Apache chiefs were the first speakers They all
acknowledged their complete defeat and expressed
their desire for peace. General Crook replied
briefly, accepting their surrender. The chiefs prom

THE NEWS or THE PEACE.
When the conference broke up the vanquished
Apaches went up the river to the old military post
where q feast was given to them. The general
policy will be TO treat the Indians humanely, place
them on reservations, make them no promises that
cannot be fulfilled, to MAINTAIN order among them
and instruct them in simple duties, thus proving
to them that peace Is better than war;

exists between the officers and the Indian and

Question-Why do you claim the wallowa for

Answer-We claim it because our fathers owned
it, and 1t belongs to by hereditary right, and we
also claim the country beyond the mountains,
meaning the Pine Creek Valley, near the Wallowa.
Question-Will you exchange your right to the

QUESTIONABLE you willing to live In the Nez Perez

Answer--No. We want the whites to leave the
Walowa Valley, as 1t Is ours, as the Indians mind
whites cannot live in peace in the WalIowa

Matters are quiet in Louisiana, with the excep-

The New Pant0mfme NJ the Olympic.
The new version OF "Humpty Dumpty" was pro-
duced at the Olympic Theatre last night, Mr.. g. l..
Fox, in this as in the preceding pantommes, being
the radiant genius OF the piece. An advantage OF
the present piece is found In the fact that the tab
ieaux change rapidly, giving, II possible, greater
variety and freedom to the acting OF "Humpty
Dumpty." The piece opens with q somewhat dun
Introductory, in which Miss Rosa st. Clair and Miss
Marion Fiske do all they are required to do with
grace and simplicity, but Humpty appears SO soon
that the feeble verses are forgotten as the broad
grin In his countenance is reflected In the faces OF
the audience. After his appearance there is MOTH
ing weak In the piece, for he is In himself able
to make everything strong This brings
up the consideration OF what can be the
only criticism OF Fox's clowns, the mobility and ex-
pressiveness Of his face. 1t Is In his conntenance
that the story OF the piece is written and upon his
countenance that it finds expression. Words are
not suniciently picturesque to describe what il
SIMPLY picture with no words TO be Illuminated
by it. Unlike the drama, IL ia acting without lines
upon which to hinge description, and the acting is
so thoroughly artistic that we scarcely think OF APP
Dumpry adopts as expressive OF the language or
pantOmime. The variety act includes the wonder
lul gymnastic feats OF the Wilson's, the rock har-
monies OF the Jee Brothers, "bouquet OF s0ngsn
by Madame Winterburn and other entertaining
advertisements especially pleasing to children.
