CROOKS CAMPAIGN.

Gen. Crooks Centennial Sioux
campaign extended over and
through Wyoming, Montana and
Dakota, and when wes!refect that
Dakota contains 52l 900 square
miles, it gives US some conception
OF the magnitude and extent of the
marches and countermarches that
his command had to make to either
overiake or entrap the willy enemy.
Here is a military theater of 504,
900 square miles, trifie larger
than Austria and Prussia, and only
about 5000 troops of all branches
to guard it and meet the foe there
upon. 1t would tax the military
skill of Won Moltke or the genius
of Napoleon the First to meet the
contingencies of the situation"
with such meagre aud inadequate
material and means as were placed
at the disposal of Gen. Crook for
the prodigious work to be done;
and the only wonder is that the
gallant General has been able to
accomplish so much as he has al
ready. The power of the Sioux and
Cheyennes is certainly broken for
ever, and an early spring campaign
will give the Indian war the final
coup de grace.

was from eight to ten tons, and the
amount distributed throughout
New England daily was very much
lighter, a large proportion of the

DREXLER VS.. MEXICAN.

SAN Francisco, Jan. l6.-This
morning Judge Mckee of the Third
District Court delivered u decision
in the matter Of the application of L.
p. Drexler VS.. the Mexican Mining
Company to have the election of Of
ficers Of that company declared void.
In his opinion he held that the right
of voting under the code, which Is
the charter OF the company, Is not to
be tested alone by the fact that the
stockholders name was on the stock
books ten days before the election,
but vote must be bona tide holder
of stock at the time of the election;
and that consequently twenty odd
thousand votes cast by proxy for
shareholders whose names were not
on the stock book at the time of the
election were illegal; so that under
the code majority of the subscribed
capital is required to elect. He how
ever further held that section 315 of
the code authorizing him as a Judicial
officer to act in such a proceeding as
that presented, was unconstitutional
and therefore dismissed the case. An
appeal will be taken to the Supreme
Court.

Fernando Wooi,s opinion.

Washington, March 3l.-Fernando
Wood, in IN interview to-day, said lie
could not understand the mystery at
tached to this so-called southern COM
pact business. He said it was hard for
the country to give public men credit
for any motives above self interest. lie
considered this whole sensation n bit of
nonsense, as lie considered himself in
the past and still considered himself
leader of the anti-flibusters in the
House. Until tile publication Vt the
story of this compact he had never
heard n word of its existence. lie cited
this fact merely to show how little it
must have entered into the real con-
test. He had acted as he did solely in
the interest of the country, and from
no understanding or agreement. He
had no favors to ask. He regarded the
task of breaking up party lines in the
southern states and of the administra-
ton securing the organization of the
House us absurd,

Especial Telegram to the Leader.l
Erie. March 3l.-Hon. j. E. Bates,
of Denver, accompanied by a number
of men, came up to the Boulder Valley
coal mines Thursday, for the purpose Of
paying off and discharging the striking
workmen. He carried with him a little
satchel containingthe necessarystamps.
When the party got off the train Mr..
Bates gave his satchel to a man to
carry, and started at once for the hotel.
The teamster with another of the party
went along the road which was filed
with the miners. They had not gone
more than "a hundred yards from the
railroad, when the miners made Il rush
for them. The man with the satchel
received one or two severe blows. but
managed to keep his feet and ran as
hard as he could to the hotel. The
other man was knocked down and cap
tured. Mr.. Bates was found by the
teamster in the hotel parlor and took
possession of the satchel. The crowd
followed closely, and on going to the
parlor extinguished the lights and made
for Mr.. Bates. In the melee Major
Logan, who formed one of the escort,
fell over Mr.. Bates, and the latter gen.
tleman managed to get from under the
major and effect his escape.
Another account says that at first
Mr.. Bates tried reasoning with the
men, and had succeeded in quieting
them somewhat, when a lot of women
came in, and succeeded in mixing
things up again. Pretty soon some one
said drag him out" Then there was
Il scuflle near the door, the table was
turned over, and the light extinguished,
and then there was II confused mixture
of aims and legs, of which Bates was
the centre. lie had but one idea-to
get away-and when he found himself
free he was standing near a kitchen
door, which lie put between himself
and his ass;lilants. He then concealed
himself in a cellar near by, from
whence he watched. the movements of
the miners. Convinced by their &C.
tions that they had lost something, and
concluding that he was the lost article,
he lett the cellar and took the road to
Boulder. On arriving in Erie he had
given his satchel, containing 81, 800, to
the landlord for safe keeping, but did
not go after it. He first went to Il tele-
graph office at Davidson to see if lie
could not get to Denver that night.
Failing in that, he went to Davidson's
house and remained until morning. He
returned to Denver last evening.
The citizens of Erie held a meeting
this evening and passed resolutions up
holding the miners in their strike, and
commencing Gov. Routt for his refusal
to send troops to the mines.
