II is alleged by the Cincinnati CONNER

anything" by their resolution compimentlng

trouble with so many political platforms, which

THE INDIANS.
A Fight with a Party of Apaches.

NEW YORK, Aug PA despatch from
Prescott, Arizona, dated the 21st, says that the
following announcement is Official:
Captain Porter, of the 9Th Infantry, under
Instructions from General Koutze, command
ing the department of Arizona left camp
Verde ON Aug. II, with detachment of the
9Th Infantry and fifteen Indian scouts in pur-
SUIT of a hostile party of Apaches which had
left the San Carlos reservation, aud committed
depredations upon the settlers in northeastern
Arizona.
Captain Porter command struck the Indians
thirty miles north of Verde, aud Immediately
attacked them, and after fight of some hours'
duration, the Indians were defeated with a loss
OF seven men killed, two women and five
children injured.
Captain Porters casualties were only one In

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.--Instructions to the
Sioux commission are nearly completed. They
give the provisions of the act Of Congress- and
say that the most important subject of the ne
gotiation IS that represented by the fifth clause
Ut the INSTRUCTIONS, and the President is
strongly impressed with the belief that the
arrangement which shall be best calculated to
enable the Indians to become self-supportng is
that which shall provide tor their removal at as
early a day as possible to the Indian territory.

country is quite unfit Tor that purpose. The
surerior climate aud soil of the Indian terri
tory is forever secured to the Indian people, and
should afford strong Inducements for the In
dams to enter into such an agreement.
The Indians cannot now live upon their reser-
walton without the aid of the Government, and
it is under no obligation to continue its supplies
of food. While no money consideration should
be offered them as an inducement for any
undertaking on their part, 1t is believed that
the Government will willingly furnish them
subsistence, medical assistance and schools,
until they can care for themselves, in case of
their removal to the Indian territory.
If, however, they decline to agree to such re-
moval, they should be informed that they will
be obliged to 60 to the Missouri river to receive
such supplies as shall be provided under any
future act of Congress ana the treaties with
them now in force,

THE COAL COMBINATION.
A G eneral BreakdOWn--.Suf
Impending the Mining Region.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Resolutions adopted
by the board OF control of the associated coal
companies show that the cause of the disrup-
ton of the combination was the fact that the
Lehigh Valley Railroad exceeded its quota in
April 100000 tons, in June 1855 tons and in
July 81 ,451 TONS and that ali the collieries in
which that road were interested have been
shipping coal during the August suspension Of
the mines.
louisville, Aug. 22.-Despatches from
New York announcing the disruption of the
great coal combination caused considerable ex-
element in this vicinity and great deal of un-
easiness was manifested in the mines as to the
ultimate result 1t is generally considered that
there will be decline in the price of coal and
corresponding reduction in miners wages.
They have lately been making only half-time
and in some instances only one-third time and
with tthe near approach of winter theirs is pre-
sented a gloomy outlook. Individual coal opera
tors will suffer severely and it is predicted that
they will not be able to continue business
should the price of coal decline below that
maintained by the combination.
