WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The President

Owing to the numerous applications
for registered per cent bonds Of small
denominations, the Treasury has been
unable, with all the clerical force which
could be employed thereon, to Gil the or
ders as rapidly as received. Purchasers
OF the bonds should understand,
however, that the interest will run
from the. date Of payment for the bonds
and not from their issue, and that the lit.
lie delay from time 10 time on account Of
the suddenly increased orders, will re-
suit in no loss or injury. The Depart.
nent is using every possible exertion,
however, to prevent ali delays In the fu-
ture, and in few days will probably be
able 10 gil all orders from their receipt.

The Baptist ministers Of New York
met together in the spring and resolved
that as they are not like other men, pub.
licans and sinners, 1t was essential TO their
success they have long summer vaca.
tiou during which their salaries should
continue as usual. Summer has come, and, !,
as men OF honor, the ministers have kept
their word, and left the city. And the
New York Sun is so heartless "a to re.
mark:
"Let tho ministers not try to deceive
themselves with the idea that the clerical
profession especially requires a long hol-
iday, for 1t does not. A playtime may
do them good, and they are luckier than
most men in getting ii; but they can dis.
penpe with it Just as we'll asthohe Of their
parishioners who have TO aweat the cum
mers out in town, and who cannot get
further away from bricks and mortar
than Coney Island or Central Park. Let
them also bear in mind that sin and sor-
SOW, sickness, temptation and death are
peculiarly rife in New York during the
summer months, and the consultations
and admonitions Of religion are at least
IA much needed then as at any other time
OF the year." .. ... u.

Tho Wool Market.

N, Y. Bulletin Of "Wednesday

aistent and earpest advocate OF low cost

Of our market Just now Ia rather on the
upward scale. Among goodly portion
OF the trade the feeling still holds ground
that an addition to the cost OF wool Just
now must prove unfortunate In the
end 10 all who invest beyond actual
wants, and this therefore forms the
base Of most operations. The recent sale
Of lannels does not seem TO be considered
as likely to prove 40 beneficial 10 wool as

the rates obtained, while more cheering
TO the manufacturer, would not pay him
A margin were he obliged to buy his
material to-day; and, further, the amount
al stock distributed will satisfy great
many wants and make demand slack for
for some time. Taken altogether the
market appears to show at present
hardening tendency, but under constant
protest from the general trade, who con-
slider that advantage gained now must be
only temporary and a reaction likely to
place the situation worse than before.
From the monthly circular Of MesaIs.
Mauger & Avery We take the following:
"The opinion Of the trade as to the
value and prospect OF wool is divided.
Some have had great confidence In the
staple, aud have com peted eagerly to get
Il at the ruling prices in the country.
These, a. a rule, are now holding their
stocks at figures above the present quota
tions. Others, less sanguine, have bought
sparingIy and sold freely on arrival, and
they generally have but little now to offer.
The question is whether goods will ad'
vance so a. to admit Of an advance in
wool, or will manufacturers buy 10 sun
cieit quantities 10 establish q higher
range Of prices without any improvement
at Is admitted that the price Is deter.
mined BY the manufacturers, and by their
nurchmas during the coming month will
the market value Of oil grades be estab'
lished."

THE INDIAN WAR.
HostiIes on the Back Track.

LAeRANDE, OREGON, July 1s.-The
hostiles turned yesterday and are now
returning back on the trail by which they
came. The cavalry under Col. Forsythe
are close on the trail.
BAKER Cry, July 1S.-The Umatilla
Indians under Forsythe, struck a hostile
camp last night, about 2 miles and half
from Stakes rancho on Daley road, kill.
ing II warriors and capturing 25 women
and children, and 60 or 70 head Of horses.
The hostiles are much demoraliLed, and
captive squaws report that they are break.
jng into small bands with the evident
intention Of fleeing 10 Weiser and making
their way 10 Bannock Of Buffalo country.
Last evening the Nez Perces scouts
under Lieutenant Williams, accompanied
by white scouts belonging TO Col. San.
ford's command, went into camp on the
North Powder river. While sitting
around the camp ERE, all dressed in citi.
zens' clothes, man named Haines, Cap.
tain OF a volunteer company, who had
seen the party enter the timber, fred two
shots into the scouts from tree about 90
yards distant, killing one OF the Nez
Perces and mortally wounding another.
The Nez Perces are much incensed at
Hanies, and with much difficulty the
white scouts and Lieutenant Williams
could restrain them from killing him at
once. The Indians were rendering very
efficient service, and now they will scarce
ly continue any longer In the service. It
il feared this will also drive the Umatil-
las from the field. At last accounts
Haines was under guard, and probably
will be brought to Colonel ssniords
camp. i
General Wheaton telegraphs Colonel
Sanford from La Grande, that a few hos
tiles made their appearance in that VAL
ley. He hopes, with Sanfords help, to
make speedy work Of them.
SAN Francisco, July ls.-An official
telegram received at division headquar-
ters, confirms the press reports Of the at.
tack on hostile camp by the Umatilla's
last night.
