Gen. Howard Complains of Hi Treatment

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Gen. Howard complains
bitterly of his tratnent by the newspapers. ST
have much to aggrieve me-" he says. "The gov
eminent has seen fit to rob me of large sum
of money, and have been too poor to prose-
cute my claims. And my countrymen have
seen fit to heap nothing but abuse upon me.
They seem to have put me up before the coun-
try as some sort of politician. The only poll
tics have is to be loyal to my government. I
have been blamed for writing for newspapers;
L never wrote a line for selflaudation or noto-
riety; but have written articles for money, in
order that [ might put shoes on the feet of my
children. don't why should be abused and
maligred, but suppose it will be kept up IN
til am dead. After L am gone, hope my
children, at least, if nobody else does, will be-
able to SCI what good, if any, there wasiin me-"
Howard telegraphed to Gen. Sheridan some
days ago long report covering his campaign
against the Nez Pelces. But instead of recog-
nizing it, Sheridan pgeonholed it, on the ground
that no officer except Mcdowell was entitled to
telegraph reports. On arriving here Gen. How
ward gave the report to the newspapers. where
upon Sheridan issued an order calling his atten-
ton TO the regulations prohibiting giving re-
ports for publication, under penalty of being
reported to the President for dismissal

MEXICO.
The Rio Grande Prisoners to be Extradit-

HAVANA, Oct. 27.-Mexican advices state
that President Diaz shows an inheyible deter
mination to extradite the criminals on the Rio
Grande, believing that eKtradtion is necessary
to preserve the national decorum.
Gen. Trevino and Coy. Charles of Coahuila
arrived at the capital on the 10Th inst. from the
border states bringing favorable accounts of the
situation, except that discomfort is manifested
at Diaz's determination to extradite all crimi-
nails. Several regiments of infantry and cav
airy have marched for the border. The relics
of the Lerdo faction are still at work. The
Lerdestas are actively organizing to cooperate
with Escobedo in his efforts on the Rio Grande.

terrible experience The rapid motion OF the

Every club in London has its characteristics,
aud when the members of one accept the hos
pitality of another during the yearly renova-
ton of their club houses, these characteristics
are quickly noticed by the strangers. In one
club, states the London World. it is the fashion
to hang no ones hat in the hall; in another tt
wear it all over the house, and at dinner to
keep it under ones chair; here shooting coat
is permitted; there the diner appears in the
regulation claw-hammer coat; tobacco is some
times banished to the garrett, sometimes allowed
everywhere but in the coffee-room beer in
pewter pots would be rank heresy at this
house; to read book at table considered ex
traordinary in that.
