Another Tramp Through the Indian
Territory.


After his arrival at Fort Walla -Walla
with the troops which participated in
the Modoc war, Gen. Davis will make
another extended movement into the
Indian country OF Washington territory
as far as Fort Colville. This post is on
the banks OF the Columbia river, with
in short distance of the British
American boundary. There is but one
company stationed here, and it Is
thought that after TIE Modoc disturb
ances some uneasiness may be felt
among the tribes oil that remote section
and the presence OF an observing column
OF United States troops may have a
good effect.
The Recent Fight
Between the Sioux and Pawnees, tap
pears by dispatches received at the
army headquarters, was nothing more
than one OF these periodical conflicts
which have been going on between these
tribes whenever they have chance
from time immemorial. The Sioux,
Pawnees and Dog Soldiers OF the Chey-
eune are mortal enemies and naturally
sravitate into battle whenever they
come within reach of each other.
They hunt in different parts OF the same
region, and it is impossible for the
troops to prevent these outbreaks.
Internal Revenue Matters.
The Secretary OF the Treasury has
ruled that the Commissioner OF Inter
nal Revenue can fix the residence OF
supervisors. The appointment OF Su-
pervisors OF distilleries is being made
10 take the place OF the twenty-five de-
tectives refused by Congress last se5-
sion.

An Associated Press dispatch printed
in the papers this morning states that
seventy Of the crew OF the United States
War steamer Canandaigua are sick

nolds, acting Secretary of the Navy, has
received an official communication

list as extremely large and the men sui.
fering with what is called the lsthmus
fever. and that he would leave Aspln-
wall in order to secure o change OF
climate for the afflicted. The dispatch,
as far as yellow fever is concerned, Is
totally discredited at the Navy Depart
ment.
A proposition will be submitted in a
day or two by prominent treasury OIL
