In the summer campaign against
the hostile Sioux Indians the policy
of the commanding officers, Gen.
erals Sheridan and Crook, will be
to drive all rowing bands back to
their reservation on the Upper Mis-
souri,, and especially protect the ex-
plorcrs and settlers in the Big Horn
country from Indian depredations,
as we'll as the ranchmcn who are
preparing to herd vast droves of
cattle north of the Platte river the
coming season. It is believed that
the vicinity around Fl. Kinney, Wy.
T., near the base Of the Big Horn
Mountains will be the stamping
ground Of the hostile Indians dur
ing the Summer, unless a strong
force be employed to drive them
elsewhere.

A QUESTION which sooner or later
bids fair to grow to munstrous pro-
portions. and demand the attention
of the law makers of this country, is
that of Chinese immigration. Al
ready those sections which are di-
rectly affected by the influx of the
Mongolians demand a remedy, set
ting forth varions plans to save them
from the effects Of "Chinese cheap
labor" In addition to the usual in
ducements for the Chinese to emf
CRATE to this country, is added the
famine existing in different provinces
of their cwn country, which, it is
prophesied, will have the effect to
send over natives in swarns to which
those already here are but an intin-
itesimal advanced guard. This is
the land of the free aud the home of
the brave, and heretofore all people
have been welcome to our shores :
but the time may come when the il =
tiux will need checking, or some gen.
eral measure must be taken 20 pro-
vide for our new citizens. 1t is q
matter which viii bear ample consid-

TREATY OF PEA CE.

There have been so many peace
rumors, only to be followed by new
signs of war, that the public has be-
come distrustful Of all such reports,
and will not credit them implicitly
until they are amply and circum-
stantially confirmed but it certain
" does seem to be reasonably GER
tain that the treaty between Russia
and Turkey was signed Saturday.
No official publication Of its terms
has vet been made, however. Dis
patches from St.Petersburg andPera
unite in declaring that the olive
branch now waves, and that the bat
tie flags are furled.
Judging from the unofficial reports
OF the nature of the treaty. it Is
mainly notable for what it does not
contain. First, no portion of the
Turkish fleet is surrendered. The
Porte. under which the war was be-
gun, cared for two things, the navy
and the seralgio. 1t was about
equally lavish in its expenditures on
both. That feet has been almost Ell =
tirely useless in the struggle with
Russia. From the nature Of the
case, contest between those two
nations must be u land war, fand

pushing things" with energy to
coin the new "cheap-silver" dollars
authorized by Congress. There are
very many well-meaning people
who expect that, as soon as the coin
age Of these new dollars begins,
they will at once receive their share
of them. We wish their expecta-
tons could be gratified, but, for the
life Of us, we cannot see how any
body is going to get silver dollars,
or any other kind of dollars, unless
they have something to exchange
for them-and this opportunity was
open to them just as much before
as after the passage Of the silver

key occasion to fear hostility.

key occasion to fear hostility. It
was 8 very silly thing to lock 50
much money in these floating engines
of death. Ressia on tho other hand
needs navy to enable her to main
tain that rank and independence
among nations to which she natural
~ aspires, and is fairly entitled. 1t
does not appear from the dispatches
that any provision is made for her
maintaining naval equipments in the
waters over which Turkey claims
jurisdiction on the terms granted to
Great Britain, but probably some
arrangement of that kind has been
made.
1t was reported that the Turkish
revenue, especially from Egypt, hy-
pothecated to foreign creditors,
would be coded to Russia. This is
denied. 1t was highly improbable.
The Rothchilds would not consent
TO any such arrangement, and Rus
STA cannot afford to offend them. They
are not national creditors themselves
only, but the representatives and,
in certain sense, guardians of
national creditors generally. Any
such diversion of the Ottoman rev.
enue would be reputation, not so
much by Turkey as by Russia, and
would close the Golfers of the
great capitalists against the latter,
and thus palsy its arm as a military
power. Besides, it would greatly
iutlame the British public, as the
Turkish bonds are mainly held in
England. Russia would be foolish
in the extreme to thus needlessly
antaSonize the most powerful nation
on the globe. So far as concerns
money, the indemnity reported some
days ago was 100000, 900 rubles,
with 100000, 900 in bonds added. 1t
is now stated that this amount is
none too high. A ruble is Russian
silver coin, worth tribe moro than
rs cents. The pound, as everybody
knows, is worth about IS in gold,
making the indemnity a little over
s100,000,00O cash, and S2OO,OOO,OOO
in bonds. This is pretty heavy
burden for IN impoverished Govern.
ment and people, and is in strong
contrast with the indemnity exacted
by Germany of France.

A Lawrence, Kansas, dispatch of the

further particulars of the terrible tor

wind grew strong at about halfpast 4
o'clock, and before dark it had visited
Its vengeance upon life and prop
erty alike. Of the family of L. G. Mil

were very seriously hurt. Among the
others who were injured appear the fol-
lowing names: J. c. Walbro and chill
dren, Mr.. and Mrs Frederick Smith and
children, John Merritt, Mrs. Mathews,
Mrs. Bogel, Edward Davis and family,
Mrs. Osborn, and Mrs. Ross. The Cotton
wood Hotel was blown to the ground, and
eight or ten dwelling houses shared a
like fate. Along the line of the Santa
te, In the vicinity, not less than forty
five freight cars was turned into the
ditch. One car had been giving
shelter to aparty oftramps. Along the
banks OF streams large amount of
timber was torn up and scattered over
the prairie. Telegraph lines were
badly broken for several miles. Con-
siderable stock was killed by outhouses
being overturned and by flying timbers.
The wind was accompanied by heavy
rain and hail, so that streams were sud-
denly swelled and roads rendered we'll
nigh impossible. In Emporia the

the task it seems to embrace it to the
full extent. The principal difficulty is
to make some arrangement to obviate
the danger of q collision at CONSTANT
nople. A Berlin correspondent says
Prince Bismarck, as mediator, will be
unsuccessful if England persists in her
present attitude; it is said Russia is
